TAX UNIONS. i 0 According to previous announcement ^ a large number of the citizens of Cokes- j bury Township assembled in the hall of * tlie'Masonic Female College, July 10th 11 inst., for tlie purpose of forming a Tax J Union for the Township, and to hear an address from the Hon. Armistead ]iurt, r; of Abbeville. t On motion, Mr. F. A. Connor was b called to the Chair, and Dr. F. F. Gary . ??../! tn out na Wtinrritiirv tn tl in tl rtHjllUMUU IV UV?U 4lO WV4VVWI j VV aov I meeting. N Mr. F. A. Connor briefly explained a the object of the meeting and called at- ^ tention to the great importance of such tc Unions in the present condition of the * tax payers. Such organizations give i tj unity of purpose and combined strength j ? - * ~-i ?e n IO resist UIO fllL'il'ilviiiucuw Ui IV dering government. tl The Executive Committee of the State ci Tax Payers Convention, in order to se- t? cure a reduction of the tax levy, and to obtain an honest administration of gov- y< eminent in disbursing the taxes when collected, recommended the formation nl of tax unions. There is nothing politi- w cal in the organization, but will act with i Jf that party timt will give an honest -gov-' h; ernment. He closed by exhorting all j y in inin and work to secureKe m.v {/UJIV..O ... j_ the desired reform. The Chairman ot then introduced the Hon. Armistead ui ,Burt to the audience. Mr. Burt with to .that conciseness and beauty of language 01 which comes only from" a thorough di knowledge and appreciation of the sub- Sl* jeet, spoke in substance, as follows: J m ; The occasion is one of the most vital gc importance to the county, and of deep ai "interest to all. Every honest man, u< .White or colored, has an individual in- m lerest in th^ organrzation of tax unions, of Th'6sc who are dishonest and prefer ai theft have no business here. Those who believe in political power to oppress th the poor that they may fatten on the tli spoils of office are not wanted here, tb ,nan mUfit Gnter jjjg re_ iMU VCX J livitvov 'monstrance in language not to be mis- or 'understood. These tax unions are the legitimate offspring of the Tax Payers ct Convention which assembled in Columbia some time ago. He commended to all, ' hat was said and done by that body, composed of men of high repectability and tax payers. Some Itad been disposed to deride and ridicule the ac- "VN tion of that convention at the tiuie but I do not suppose that any who read the cu signs of the times will doubt that tremendous consequences were the result fo of that mectiug. Before this we could get no hearing by the President of the m the United States, by Congress or through the press. a momnriiii fn Congress was adopted. You remember when that memorial "was presented to the President how the committee were snublied?how his ear had been poisoned by the whisperings of a earpet badger from South Carolina. a? You remember how tl*e doors of Congress were closed, but now, how chang- Cc ed^! The press discussed our aflairs and It decided in our favor in language strong & and powerful. The President and the press both deu<"unee tlie present corrupt <iovemor of South Carolina, ami I th .greatly fear the colored people are in- Cc ciiucd to re-elect him in utter disregard ?P *of such denunciations* Grant has said lK >the present government was a disgrace go =and must be wiped out. He is disgusted and resolved-Uiat such government 00 'Hhall not ocjltifluc. Mr. Burt advised 111 tthe colored people to reflect and take ar care that they do not forfeit tlieir right t'1 ** A- nr of suffrage by cneir acis. The great evils complained of by the 'it Press, these Tax Unions seek to correct ;and reform. Is there any man outside ?of au asylum in favor of high taxes, V *1 uiess he received a good part himself? co The amount yearly paid for taxes you llilcw, and yet it has been said that it is not higher than in other aStates. This ?i ju untrue- Although it may appear so *rtS13 itoe false .assessments of property Vmore tlmn doubles the taxes. A poor a' Vomau who paid $3 tux hi 1873, }>^?ia for R *the siime in 4872, SIH.OO. How is the is ' ^equalization -of taxes by the County tL gourds -done? They simply take the bt ibvcczge by adding the highest and low- v< ?est assessments together una men striKe i" an average, without any regard as to the 01 value of the land, H I congratulate the citizens of tliccoun- ni ty that through theefi'ort <?f the Kar n MC ~Boand of Tax-Payers lias been obtained, d< and your chairman oae of the number, fi this surely will a-lford some ivlief. The P taxes are monztrouH. In only 39 ?f the [c - 32 counties in South Carolina, 140square auilcsof land have been sold for State C sind County taxes, and 537 square miles P v>f laud iiave beea forfeited to the State jl! ?at tr.x sales during the current year. T </an auy one iu view of this fact be so o 'blind as not to see his fate in the future? 3* is there any one who does not And the 0 ^hurtben increasing every year and that q the people are poorer than at any time a since the war ? tl I know with regret that our people b have withdrawn from public affairs. I a see but few in attendance at public P meetings or at our County Courts that t! " w formerly 5ure to be present. It is h they Are at home working Jiard to u ^nfck-e money. Tliis is a blind policy b ^and will surely fail in the end. If taxation increases, the lands wearing out, J want and destitution will surely over- c take the agricultural clement, because * they can't bear the taxation. We must ^ do something to arrest this state of tilings. The man who is willing to ^ submit to it, is not worthy the name ^ of freeman, he ought 40 be a slave to ^ ?ome despot,-and slave he U'ill surely be. d Wo make an effort to avert such calami- v ty is to form these Tax Unions. The 0 3?eople in the up-country have not ^ Inoved in this matter as they should do, ^ <and I trust the one formed here to-day ? >will set the ball rolliug until each coun- ' ty is fully organized. t Mr. Burt then begged to say some- 1 thing upon a kindred subject. These 11 ?*- ??;?1? 0 Tax-Unions are not exuiusi vejy iuj white men, but all who desire to enjoy " the proceeds of their labor under an honest government. Colored men . ought by all mc-aus to join. I Intend to observe how many carpet-baggers will join? How many Southern men l who now act with 3lie present in power will join? I affirm that no office-hold- * 5a South Carolina will join. "Why not? Because they desire high taxes levied to pay their salaries aud to put the steal- , ings in their pockets. J IVe would be ashamed not to pay taxes j for an honest government, but we don't j intend to pay more than is irecessary to < jpay legitimate expenses. Tax Unions 1 aire not political butare formed to put in 7 office honest men, and thieves in the j ifeniteutiary. Tlic North, conscience ( And duty demand, that if we can, we 1 establish an honest government. I ' fcnow I address gentlemen of spirit, - with nnMannoiynv'arn. $Y ilU IKI 11Vb UIWVW ? ftient tyranny, taught to hate it, and ( who pine to redress it, but I propose to tell you how to do it. The present government of the Uuited States must and will be for some time to come administered according to the amendments to the constitution. The colored people are not to be deprived of what they have. The Government of South Carolina will be administered under the Constitution of 1SG8, hence there is no party contest for this year. The contest will be for men? uotliing else; and through men as instruments these reforms must be made. It is a fact that the Tax Payers are in a minority, but then they have the intelligence and property. They have a duty to perform in helping, so far as they ? " l ^ iiitmilnninwu rlpcont. rrr.vpmmpnt Uiftllj 111 im.?vuuv...e ^ M-VVMV ? for South Carolina. How will they do it? We must stir the flagging spirits of some, and tone down that of others to a sense of their duty. We are to choose between expedients?between evils. To a hungry man a half loaf is better than no bread. We cannot suppose that candidates will be nominated at our dictation, but as the majority will select. I therefore aavise quiet, organize rax Unions, (it is a reproach for a Tax Payer not to be a member,) and be silent until nominations are made. It is probable the Democrats will not make nominations this year; the Radicals will. If they nominate better men than those 11 oflice, our duty is to vote for them? therwise we would not choose as sensible men. If we could do better by wait- " ng, I would not soil my hands with a iadical ballot. Take no part until the j lominations are make?then act. The if Iadical party in South Carolina are asj]\ ticapable of reform or honesty as a!j. otten mackerel. It is a putrid corpse o liat can't be galvanized into a semlance of life. " There will be great efforts to defeat nf (Governor Moses in UU liuillliiuuuit V. lie Convention. I think it will fail, = nd Moses will receive the nomination, re is at present organizing the militia p >carry the colored vote in his favor, f there is a bolt from that Convention, icy may present a ticket more decent ,r lat we cau vote for. Let us permit hamberlain and others to deal with " leirown difficulties; they will reeonle them so you will not be called upon ? consult questions of expediency. If over nor Moses is re-elected, wli'at are 3u going to nor win juu |uuui> iiioiv >ttoii to pay the increased taxes that . lis the pockets of the political theives ho fatten upon poor South Carolina?

It matter for many colored men to 111 ve a bond of $2,000, and the result is, at few colored men can apply for any mnty office. And hence the practical T| icration of these laws is to exclude the gro from any participation in the local > verb meat. JN Ou the other hand, the old members nteud that inasmuch as County Com- T< issioners control the County Finances, e liable to fines for neglect of duty, ese bonds are right and proper, ami a icessary for the protection of the pub- in : interest. These bonds arc condition- x . upon the honest and faithful dis- t0 arge of their duties -as prescribed by w. They say, that a maw who'cannot mmand public confidence enough to id security for his good conduct in "the = jii of $2,000, is not worthy of .any ofli- y al position. There -seems to be'truth on both sides. ~ 1 the last -campaign retrenchment ^ id reform were the main planks in the euublican platform. A^tlioitgh ffluch " claimed to iiavc been accomplished iu; P* iese particulars, jpubliC'expeetation has :en diss](pointed, so much m, that jry little cmifcdeuce *s plaocd in such P( nfncci/mu onrniRff nronertv ^ lough to l?e of any value on a bond, ere thou is a serious difficulty to be letand overcome in the outset. A per- >r >:i who-does net own over a thousand b< rdlars worth of real estate, and over h ve hundred dollars worth of personal b roperty, clear of debt, is utterly worth- H iss on a bond. The Clerk of the (\?ur( T i required to approve the bonds of the ^ ouaty Commissioners. He will hardly! t( lace his official head in jeopardy by a pproving an insufficient or straw bond. ^ lie subject of official bonds is a sore f( ne in this County* In the last two j ears, the whole subject has been thor- jj ughly ventilated. It is now a grave $ uestion of law, whether or not there is c ny power, outside of the Legislature, ( uatcan force an officer to strengthen |j is bond, after it has been accepted and ^ pproved. Such being the case, the ap- t] roving power becomes doubly impor...i-. .....1 u-niil>l Haii1)I!p<;$ MIL , illiu dig VV/UI v r, old au officer guilty of grave official liscouduc'.t, should lie approve a straw : ond. \ The School Commissioner asrd !tihe v udge of Probate must meet and over- fc ome the same difficulties. The County . lecords ikive been restored srate the { res of 4892, and are complete. These v onds must be approved by the County j Jommissioners. Should the new board ail to qualify in time, theold board will / lave that duty to perforin. And, loubtlcss, the present presiding Judge t rill not fail to have the matter thor- \ uglily investigated at the January erui of the Court. No man will risk icing sent to the Penitentiary simply to ecure another man in an office. Hence " * * ? x A L ~ t is clear, u?at ac ieu.sc iiuit'-icums ui hose who are candidates for the Coun- f y Offices had better be seeking employtient and means of subsistence in some i tlier field.
