THE CHARLESTON RESOLUTIONS AND
A CONVENTION OF THE PEOPLE.
"We publish in another column!
the proceedings of the Greenwood)
meeting, endorsing tho resolutions
adopted by the Charleston Chamber!
of Commerce and' Board of Trade !
which were received too late for
publication in our last issue, and j
also the resolutions themselves, which i
were crowded out. We also publish !
a call from Cokesbury, inviting a I
meeting of our citizens here on Sale!
day next, to select delegates of the i
tax-payers to the May Convention
which has been called in pursuance!
of .the suggestions of the Charleston
merchants. We cordially endorse
the movement-, and are sure that it
will deceive, as it receiving, the
heart}* approval of our people, who
are groaning under the heavy taxation
imposed by those who share none
of the burdens but enjoy all the fruits
of wasteful and extravagant expenditure.
In many of the counties meet,
ings have been held and delegates
appointed, and in others meetings are
to be. held on Sale daj' next.
It has been charged upon the proposed
May Convention that it is t\
mere party scheme to ruin the credit
of the State Government by "urging
entire repudiation, or to advance tininterests
of unscrupulous speculator."
by depreciating the State securities.
But those are mere idle words uttered
for effect by those who have no interest
in the reformation of abuses,
but rather in their continuance, and
tvho fatten upon the spoils which
have been extorted from an oppressed
people. Tho May Convention will
bo one entirely apart and distinct
from politics. It will be the united '
effort of the sober and reflecting to 1
save the State from ruin, financial. '
social and political, by appealing to the :
fears, if not to the sympathies of thenoppressors.
It is not to bo supposed for a moment
that the Slay Convention is to
counsel armed resist-ance to the loi-al.
auich less to the United States authorities?and
thus organize a reitrn |
of violence. The Charleston Resolutions
simply set forth the fact that
the body of tax-payers are excluded
from their proper influence in the
imposition of taxes, which have been
improvidently and corrupt'y expended,
that the credit of the State has
been illegally pledged, that a new
issue of bonds is intended, which may '
come into tho hand* of innocent par- :
ties, and therefore "simply the intention
of the tax-pavers lo resist, by'all
"legitimate means," iho payment of
any taxes lo meet bop.da which have
been, or may hereafter be, illegally
issued. Armed resistanceis not counseled
here, and wo supposo will not i
bo by the Convention to meet in May J
next. But anything short of actual
rebellion which promises any hope
of staying "the downward progress to
ruin, we suppose, will meet the favorable
consideration of that body. In
whatever plan which may bo rccommcnded,
we want united counsels and
concerted action, and this can be best
secured by the proposed meeting.
Lotus have a fut! meeting on Sale
<3av, and appoint our delegates. Ifj
we are tt) do anything at all legitimately
and effectively, it must be
done in this way.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS.
The Nexv York World, in an article ,
Which we publish in another column, ;
thinks the application of the Massachusetts
election qualification, accord-1

impracticable as to existing voters,
but that it may be made to apply to

suffrage, and then proceeds to re-j
commend divers amendments to the
State Constitution?an unpaid Login-.;,
laturc?a limitation of the borrowing 11
and taxing power, &c?all of which, 1
wo think, will prove equally imprac-j^
ticable. Isot but that, if adopted, they j,
would pro e adequate to the end in|<
view?but for ihe simple reason that j
it is idle to expect any such change |
in the organic law, at the hands of j
those who are interested in the main-1
tainance of present abuses. If iht.<j
Republicans would consent to <^o into!
convention with us, there might be!
some hope, but till then it is idle to;
discuss what such a convention might i
aeccomplish.

EASTER SUNDAY.
Last Sunday was Easter Sunday?the j
Christian Passover?the festival of the;
resurrection of the Saviour?and was
observed in Trinity Church, with the
religious services appropriate to the day.
Easter is one of the moveable festivals,
happening always on the ttrst Sunday
after the full moon, which occurs upon
or next at'ler March 21, or if the full
moon happen on a Sunday, then on the
Sunday alter. Easter day thus ranges
from March 22 to April 26.
This year it came with the bursting
buds and blooming fbwers of Spring,
mid Trinity Church never seemed more
attractive, with the beautiful holiday
attire of the garden without, and the
wealth of floral decoration within.
Flowers and evergreens, wreaths and
festoons, crowns and crosses, dovicesaud
inscriptions?nil tastefully nrei.ared and
skillfully arranged by fair hands?were
in appropriate keeping with the day
when the church puts 011 her festive
robes and sings in exulting strains the
anthem of its risen Lord.
On the left of the reading desk, in
beautiful raised Gothic letters, was the
inscription, "Christ, our Passover, is
slain," surmounted by a Maltese cross,
whilst on the opposite side, to the
right of the pulpit, was the inscription,
"Death is swallowed up in victory,''
surmounted in like manner by a beautiful
crown. On the front of the reading
desk was "Faith," in raised letters made
of white flowers, and to the left was its
appropriate symbol, a large anchor,
tastefully constructed of evergreens.
On the front of the pulpit were also the
letters, "I. H. S."-"Our Hope"?in
their silvery tloral work, whilst above
and around alike, reading desk and
pulpit, and altar and chancel-rail, were
tastefully arranged festoons and wreaths
of evergreens entwined with flowers.
The interest of tbe occasion, and the
absence of services in the. Presbyterian
Church, attracted a large audience, and
a very able sermon was preached by tin
liector, itev. VV. r. mususe, ihuii mt
text, "There remaineth, therefore, a
rest for the people of God"?Ileb. iv : 9.
?characterized by his usual vigor and
originality. The preacher showed clearly
that rest necessarily presuppose?
work, and that the completeness ami
perfection "of the rest is proportioned
to the thoroughness of the work. To
rest hereafter, we must \york now.
and to enjoy this rest in its highest perfection,
we must work most earnestly
now. The interest of the exercises wa
much enhanced by the excellent church
music.

Dabt and Taxation?Resolutions of the
Charleston Chamber and Board of
Trade.
We publish tho annexed resolutions
idopted unan'mousty* at a large meeting
of the Commercial Boards of oin
hief city. They were advocated h>
such men as Geo. A. Trciiholm, Coi
Richard Lathers and others, and embody
the earnest protest of the mos*
temperate and conservative class ii
tlie connnur.it)- against arbitrary and'
oppressive taxation. They pledge ail
estimate resistance to the payment
of the bonds issued by the presens
State government, and call for a Convention
of the peeple to be he-id it
Columbia on the second Tuesday ii.
May next. We earnestly eridors?

PREAMBLE AND RE OLUTION6 :
Whereas, under the operation oj

of the pro; erty holders ant
and tax-payrs of the State, Iron
whom the public revenue is mainh
derived, are excluded from any power
in the legislation of the State, ano
from atiy practical influence in tin
imposition of tax'.-s.
And, whereas, the moneys raised
by taxation are improvident ly am.
corruptly used and expended by persons
who hold ollleo under the btai<
Government, and the turns appropriated
fur alleged-public uses are exces
sive and extravagant.
And, whereas: the credit of th<
State has been pledged-illegally, and

| A Suggestion.
j Col. Jus. II. liyori,- of' Winnaboro,
in a communication to the J'hcei<<x,
says:
"As to the double tax nronnsod to
i bo coHectcd in November, I would
| Mly'exist it in iVuy Vnnj short c] oclvnl
\r,li/linti The whole difficulty, l hoii^h
may bo removed by the authorities
requiring no tax to bo collected >n
November, 1371, u bait' tax in Alarch-,
i 1872. and then u Whole lax in November,
1 ST 1 In such an arrange|
ment we might to acquiesce.
To secure a safeguard against election
frauds, and 'oppressive taxation,
lie recommends a change in the constilutiou.
1. "To require four managers of
elections at each election precinct,
two of whom are to bo chosen by
each political party in the Counties;
to have tho votes coynted as soon as
the polls are closed and the rosea nit
aggregated tue second nay aiier, uy
wo from each box, (one from each
politic: I parly), assembling at the
County ?eatj?."
2 '"To requhc for the pesssage of
every bill imposing taxes, assessing
the value of property for taxation.
borrowing money or raising revenue
in any way, and of every bill making
appropriations, creating any debt or
liability, pr lending the faith and
credit of the Slate in any way, it* to
receive the vote of t/uH-fourth* of the
members of each house, the same to.
? - : i t t ? .,..,1
I! ilM'lTlHinuu I'V U vtnjj "J unu
nays, made of record on the journals
?f each house."
Then upon the adoption of these
'intendments, that all Acts r? lating to
: hese subjects, be no longer in force,
after iiio'iicxt meeting of the General
Assembly.
We have vry little confidence in
my scheme which relies upon a voluntary
abandonment of power by
ihe ruling par;y Jlher in or out of
the State. If we break their power
abroad w.o can easily control them at
iioine
But not till then.
Incendiarism.?We have to record
another act of incendiarism in oui
District in the burning of the stables
and outhouses of Dr. J S Reid, a wellknown
citizen, on Satnrdaj' morning
last. The fire w-as discovered about
nine o'clock in the morning after the
bands bad <^one out to work. It was
eU-arly the work of an incendiary, as
a match-box was found with which
ihe fire was kindled. The loss was
about $1000. The guilty party is
strongly suspccted.

respite to the horror* which unhappy
t'rayee is inflicting upon herself. Tlie

the gates of Paris, whilst the city is
given up to tlie wildest excesses. The
relies of the first revolution are being

' .state.
The Union says: "We would be satisr
fled witli anything tluij. these gentleman
oould agree upon, and we believe they
i; would do justice to the Slate and its
people."
We think that this matter should be
allowed to rest until the assembling of
the May Convention. It seems to be
wise and prudu-nt to put forth an address
,o the people of the Uijion, showing
. what are our wromrs and what is the '
eul condition of the State. Such an !
1 address, if thought best, could be pre- I
i rented in person to tlie President and I
Uon^reHS, if in f-e.-sion, as the Uuit?n I

The report of the San Domingo co:

President's proclamation in regard

whether the forms required by the c

. ertain that he was induced to t
uepa more for eflVct in the North tl
lor any real or supposed reason in So
Carolina. It formed a part of the c

led, he exhibited no willingness to 1
