more fitting apxiintuient than that of

service Mr. Young is know n and resjus't

and no itber apointinent that could be
made would render more general satis
faction. A man of probity, jrenial and
culturedjind thoroiichly aoiiaintel with

routing administration, to whose advent
all true Republieana are hx.kmg with
pleasant antieiwti.tm.
Tub treatment of the triple of Dakota
by the Democrat in Congress in unpar
donable and cannot be misunderstood or
excused. Nothing but political rea-ons
prevent it admission to the Union a
a State. Dakota contains a pulHtion of
.Vio,i'il ptsij.le which would entitle them
to two member of Congress, but the
IVm.sT.itM refuse to entnt them the right
of Statehood, because they would eer
Liinly ehs-t Republican nipn-Hentativc.
At the ivime time they are w tiling to ad
mit Washington Territory with a popula
tion of 210.(100, and Montana Territory
with 110.i"Xl tidiabitatits beoausc there is
a prolwtbility that they will go Democrat
ic It looks as if Dakota w ill not get jus
tice until after lssi, when the Republi
cans come back into siwer.
Now that the revenue of the State are
so ample and are even greater than are
ni-eded, would it not le a good idea for
the coming Legislature w hen revising the
license laws, to pro i.le for an increased
lio-:isi' ti-e and divert the money thus
r.dsed, trout the State Treasury, into the
dillen iit county treasuries? If the evils
Isirn of the liipior tiatlic have to lie Ixime
by the is.unlii-s, why should they not re
vie the Wnelit of the taxes assesstsl
iism it '.' Tle re are a ire of good rea
sons why ihis should be done and not a
valid one that can Ik- urged against it.
The State no longer needs the revenues
from this source, and until constitutional
prohibition comes, if come it does, local
taxation would lie largely decreased by
authorizing the county oiticials to collect
and appropriate the taxe imposed upon
this tratlic.
Now that the tariff ijuestioti is appar
ently sittled for this s.-ssion. Memls-rs
of ('.-ngres.s who are borrowing trouble
oyer an anticipated surplus, may well de
vote their time to measures reducing tax
ation and thus preventing the surplus
which they dread. There is no valid
reason why the " odious war taxes " im
swd and c ili.Hted in the shape of iu
terniil revenue should not 1m' entirely
vvijssl out, or at least largely reduced. If
1 he present rev . n nes are too large, as is
a---rte. why not rejs-al the tax on to
bacco and spirits in whole or in jmrt?
Why should the lals.ring men piiy a tax
on the only luxury he s iinits himself
the tobacco he consumes or w hy should
not the Uix lie taken off spirits, or at least
iie reduced from ninety to fifty or forty
rents kt gallon ? If this lie done, and
the other minor taxes uu bunks, cM lie
rcK.iiled, fruii fifty to one hundred and
twenty millions of dollars can be annual
ly lifted off the necks of the tax payers
and thus the danger of a large surplus in
the Treasury be avoided.

ed the lax on hores and cattle for State

the CommisHioncra overlooked the re

this chu of property aswssed, collected
the tax and returned the amount to the
State authorities for the years 1S7 , lS7ti
and lh77. By this mistake about SI SO,(S0
was impro-rly collected. When the
error was discoyensl 1-tl'ort.s were at once
made to have the money refunded, but

Stoned to Death.
ViM MUA, S. C, IV.-. 17. IVtails as to the
horrible murder ofthe 10-year-old white
fs.y. which was rcs.rted sevend days avro,
an Is iug obtaineil, and cxtrooi-dinarv reve-:ati..i.-
an- Is-ing made. The boy was lotiml
dead iu a collon field, Is-ing Is'att 11 out of
sha- with rocks. Four negroes, Moses ,is
muih, Dan l!ols-ns, Bailey Itowle and Pint
Thomioti. were arrestwl on suspicion and
committed to jail. A lara- iiuiiiIkt of wit
nesses wire examined, but no cm. lusivc ev-l.lenei-
could Is-obtained, ll is Isilcvcd that
John lav. tfic munlensl f'V, tUieetcd bis
muideri'rs stealing sitt.ui, and that they
killed him to ketp him from t.s.tityiiig
I" poii this ground the four negroes were
arnv.ed, there Ishig slight circuiii-tantial
eviik-nce against them, but the theory was
proven correct, for two of the men Bolicrts
and Liscomb rontrssed to having eoiniuitl
cd the munUr, and implicated theothertwo.
They were caught by Lee stealing collon,
and stomd hiin to death, and were alxmt
to throw his Is sly into Broad river, when
perM.ns approax-hed and they tied.
Continuing, the murderers n-vvaled a new
phase of lawlessness. They say they are
.art of a baud of forty negroes w ho have or
ganized and taken au oath to kill ingtautly
anyone catching them stealing. In that
Sis tiou of York county tliere is great excite
ment, and it is supposed here that the four
men in juil will be lynched as a terrible
warning to the rest of tlie mtinlerous cotton
bandits. The scene of the murder in at the
