* "I 2ao Press and Banner. AHHKVILLK, Hi. C. j Hy IH'UII WILSON & w. c. BENET. Wednesday, Oct. 16, 1878.! ??????? ! 1 Who ?s Uigbt?The People of Abbeville, or the State Board of Equal-1 j ization ? Wea.sk attention to the article in another column of the Press mxl Manner, which stives an account ot the reccnt action of the State Hoard of Equalization, from whose decrees the tax-payer lias no lawful appeal?their power U-ing even greater than that of the veriest despot. This Hoard of Equalization is organised j l?v authority of law, and is composed of one Democrat from each of the five Congressional Districts of the State, the Comptroller - General, the State Treasurer, and the Secretary of State, I the latter three, hv the grace of the! late Democratic Convention, are 011 the! State ticket far re-election, and next November our insulted and injured people will bo required to kiss the rod that smites, by voting for those who have assisted in assessing Abbeville County something liko eight thousand dollars a year for the next five years to come, more than our proportionate share of the expense of I the government. Last week this Board, composed of Democrats, clothed with all the power which Radical legislation could give, sat in judgment 011 the returns of the taxpayers of the whole State, and in their great wisdom and intuitive knowledge of the value of real estate in a county whose soil the feet of some of whom had never pressed, determined upon this most extraordinary action which will, in five years, unjustly take from the people of Abbeville County nearly forty thousand dollars. While these gentlemen, sitting in Colnmbia, saw lit to allow the assessment on lands "outside of towns and villages," to stand at the returns as made l?y llic prO|>tMiy-Ow 111-ir. m um, own respective counties, they have presumed to know more of the value of lands in counties which had no reprcsen-j tativc on that Roard, than the land-owners themselves. The law authorising the present assessment was made by the last Legislature in response to the request of many overassessed tax-pavers from every section of the State, and in no county was there greater need or more calls for it than in Abbeville. Now, since .we have gone to the great trouble and expense of a re-assessment of the real property of the State, and when Abbeville County has the most just assessment ever made, this Board, of Equalization decrees that the real estate of "towns and villages" in Abbeville county, when it does not exceed, "shall be that of 1ST"," or more properly that of 1874, the year in which the assessment was really made. It is a fact, patent to all, and which need not lierc be rehearsed, that values of every kind since then have shrunk from an inflated currency basis to a gold standard. It is true that the Radicals taxed us at \ a higher rate in the number of mills levied, but we fail to see the advantage to be derived from the lower taxation by the Legislature, when our propert\-, "outside of towns an.d villages," is to be as eossed by the State Board of Jviuauzation at thirty per cent, more than its real worth. The difference is, between tweedledum and twecdledoe?oxcept that we paid Radical taxes in flush times, when cotton brought the husbandman a handsome profit for his labor and investment. Such action by a Hoard, who are accountable to nobody, and from whose fiat there is no lawful escape provided, has the most demoralizing effect upon the people of any county who have made to . the Auditor truthful and fair returns of their property. The Board, by their action, have stigmatized the whole of the tax-payers of this County indiscriminately as dishonest, and it is reasonable to fear that they may bring the force of the law to bear upon us, that they may establish the correctness of their slanderous imputation against our people. On last Saturday we made a partial examination of the Auditor's books, and from what we saw, we have no hesitancy in pronouncing them, in the main, correct. It seems, however, that in some instances the owners themselves have failed to realize the depreciation of their property and have returned it at even more than its present "money value." Among a number of instances of this kind, we would mention that of a widow lady of this town, who owns property that was onct valuable, but which, from j various causes, is now of but little "money value." This property in our opinion, is returned at fully one-third more than its cash value, but by the action of the Democratic State Itoard of Equalization her assessment must bej raised twelve per cent. This is not by, any means an isolated case, where prop-1 erty is assessed at more than its real value, but it is mentioned as an instance, to show the great wrong that has been perpetrated upon us. By the sworn testimony of the owners of the real estate of Abbeville County "outside of towns and villages,'' the total value of the lands iu the County is $2,40-j,ys;j, or an aere; but the autocratic Board?no member of which is from Abbeville?is not satisfied with this very lari?e assessment and now issue their edict, instructing the Auditor to add thirty per cent, making the average assessment $-3.10 an acre, when it is an indisputable fact that there Is not in the county one farm iu twenty which would bring that amount of money if put' up and sold. Wo are aware that this Board ofi Equalization has levied this tax un-j tier the forms of law, as the law on this I subject directs that the State Hoard of Equalization "shall add to the aggregate "value of the real property of every "County which they shall believe to lie "valued below its true value in money, "such por centum in each case, as.will "raise the same to its true value in nion"ey." To exercise the delicate privilege vouchsafed by such a law should cause the conscientious officer to act with that great care, which would prevent hitn from heedlessly walking on ground where angels would fear to tread. The tampering with the taxation of a people is a serious matter, and one not to be lightly disposed of by a committee of gentlemen who, we ate I sure, would not claim to know the value: of a single plantation in Abbeville' County. Why gentlemen so totally ignorant of the true value of our property should presume to niter our sworn assessment is beyond our conception, but we are inclined to the opinion thai it was a hasty acton their part, and which upon mature reflection, they would be willing to rectity. \\ c caimw umit'tu iiitii nvi was malicious, or intended us an injustice to us. It is well known that Abbeville lias always borne more than iier proportionate share of the public expenses, and our people longed for Democratic rule, beetusc by it wo hoped to receive justice at the hands of the government, and it is fair to presume that no man in Abbeville County everdreamed that our own people would continue the excessive burden which we have so long borne under the rule of alien enemies. But our own ofiieers have raised our assessment to tho old Radical figures which werealwaystoo high. In this instance we have been wounded in the house of our j friends, and we havo no redress except; in our own inherent strength, iu a unit-J * m od etlbrt to resist tyranny and opprcs-^U sion from whatever source. We are not informed whether llie gen-j tlcnien made any ellbrt to ascertain the 'f true value of our lands or whether they acted from inspiration. They certainly did not act from personal knowledge. He this as it may, however we can show w facts in a few figures, which will satisfy every impartial mind of the great error { the Board have fallen into and of the great wrong they have inflicted upon the honest people of Abbeville County, ui Wo will mention thesaies on threeof the Jj most important S;ilo Days?one in 177iJ, J ouo in 1ST7 and one in 1S7X, when tlio j;, largest sales were made, which, we be- jj' lieve, will be sufficient to carry con vie- ji; tion. JJ On Sale Day in October, 1S76, the ofii- ji core of the Court sold 1.5121 acres, and n executors, tte., sold 4,~?.T{ acres, making a Jj total of 6,4"?7 acres, in 13 tracts. The total w amount received for these lands was .j, #1I ,{>42.00, or nearly $1.85 an acre. it On Sale Day in December, 1S77, ">,">2"> Jjj acres, in 22 tracts, were exposed to sale, ft realizing?l:?,742.00 or au average of $2. Is J,' an acre. tl Oil Sale Day in January, 1S7S, .".,421 jj, acres, in 12 tracts, were sold for $8,700, or J|' S2.48J cents an acre. i>, Or, on the three Sale Days 15,40.1 acres " were sold for l, at an average of $2.2115 an acre. J.' The lands in each instance embraced ?' valuable tracts near Abbeville Court tj House, as well as some of the best farm- " iug lands in various sections of the County. M From the above, it will require no Solo- ?-i man to sec at a glance that our land-own ? -a;.: i ors themselves nave pui a nauums |uu v [... on tlioir own lands, largely in excessj \\] of the true money value. Tiie Aft to reduce :i!l Acts and parts of () Acts providing for the Assessment and " Taxation of Property into one Act, and a to amend the same, Section.">0, says: "All ^ "real and personal property shall lie val"ued for taxatian at its .true value in H'[ "money, which, in all eases not oth- ai "erwise specially provided for in this Act y "shall be held to be. the u.vtal sell in;/ price 11 "o/ similar properly at the plucc where "the return is to be made.'"' If the Democratic-State Board of Equalization can harmonize S">.10 an acre with the above law and villi the figures given <; above, we would like to see them do it. "v From our own stand point, we are clear- k ly of opinion that these gentlemen have exceeded tlieir authority and violated this w law in assuming to raise our assessment [' to more than double "the usual selling pricesi We have shown the assessment as y made by our own people; we have shown s "the usual selling price;" we have shown ^ the assessment made by the Democratic ii Board of Equalization; we have shown * the law on the subject. Form your own > conclusions. j",1 We shall pass unnoticed their unblush- t< ing disregard of law when they declare " that no lands shall be rated below three l' dollars an acre. If they are to assume n 'iml nmTnnn 1 !* lilU UJIiVl; Wi I'ltWUVU I'.IIU |yv..V?... p dctrimental to our people, contrary to the ti express provision of law, we arc unable to do the subject justice. * l> This is a gravo matter which deeply concerns every citizen, not only on ac- J? count of the largo amount involved, but j' also on account of that which is dearer t<> * us?our rights. Our ancestors would not ti submit to a trifling tax on their tea. J* Will their sons submit to an excessive a and arbitrary tax 011 their very hearth- }] stones? Will our people, (too poor to ?t pay three hundred dollars a year to support the State University at which our w poor young men may be educated,) wil- t; lingly submit to the dictum of the State "j Hoard of Equalization, who would extort from us annually eight thousand dollars more than our share of the State <1 taxes ? Wo pause for a reply. J) Ezcitcment in Sumter. Last Saturday was a big day in Sum- t' 'I'll* nrvoiint of tho excitomont. and ? the blood-curdling narrative in the Xcws and Courier of the hair-breadth escape ^ of our State officers, who for the good tj of the people and in utter disregard of li their own personal welfare, rushed in be- [' tween the contending parties* exposing u themselves to the tire of hundreds of pis- J tols and muskets from both sides, to say ^ nothing of getting in the range of a can- S| non which was loaded with a bag of ten t< penny nails. The reading of such ac- s< counts reminds us of "lJig Tuesday" in Abbeville. Altuough, from the state- w incnts in the Jlrffi-stc and the Sews and |'| Courier the Sumter excitement was dif- n ferent from the Abbeville trouble in this respect. In Sumter the whites outnumbered the negroes live to one; and the |. negroes had but one poor old white '.f man to lead them. In Abbeville there ? were perhaps twice as many negroes as jj white men. The negroes here were un- | der the leadership of Chamberlain, Ilogc, Carpenter and a lot of smaller fry from r< Columbia, with a whole battalion ofijj home-made Radicals, and then we had no tl such fearless leaders on our side as the j'n Sumter Democracy had.

My 1>kak sik: In iliis day of much prin itf it is almost impossible to have one unions ur motives correctly represented, ippose it is because misieprcsciiiation is i?y. I have never east any "slurs on tl resident." I have never expressed any "hi ruess towards Mr. Hayes," bccausc I ha\ ver felt any. I have never eoin)>lalneit i duliicd in any |>i<ille because Mr. Hayes <1 it appoint persons lonlliee who wcrerceoi en<ieil by me. I have never recommend) iv. 1 have endorsed some applieauts s lalitied, and have ^really desired to sen tl vil service Improved?especially in tl tilth. I trust nti man who knows me neei i lie assured l hat. in the discharge of m a ill i c duties, I am incapable of hcitisr iutli iced by personal piques and disiippoin enls. Willi me ail personal feelings ail la tious, whether of friendship or other wis e subordinated to the public <!iiod. I hit loiild be very iineaudid if 1 did not confe lat I have been most grievously disappoiu I in Mr, Hayes and In his administratio niy urievauees were only personal tl orlil would never su-pect it i.u my otllci induct and opinions. It is bccausc n levanee relates only to our national eha iter and the putilic weal that 1 make know s existence, and will proceed to set fort rictlv the reasons for It. I believe that what is known as our "civ rvice" as it now exists, and has loin; exi? 1. is a crime against popular ^overnmei id civilization. I believe it. has tieen tl lief cause of many troubles and eorrui ons in Hie past, ami, if not thoroughly r rnied, will suii'ly uiiderinine and destre jr free Institutions. I will not stop here seussthe urounds of this belief. They ha1 'en long and well considered, and have pr iced absolute conviction. I always did a ir that old parly slogan, "To the victor I) miss the spoils." it was never suited to ai ut bandits and plunderers, and wys alwa; ssjraccful in men elaimintr t<i tie palrbi *.1 clulitiiwi) If roil i!??r?c t 11?? of *ni iiiniiil lo I Ik* tricks of the hyp< sy of demagogues, mid the blows of nil is. I heard Mr. Hayes when, in his inaug il address, in- announced bis policy, or rat iiis purpose of civil service reform. Tom was pleased, would feebly express lit" I nil i*piteofniy conviction that lie was n ceied by tlie people, but owed bis otliec limitiu:>t*- I frauds for which I believed I as not responsible. I I'd! willing to tun ii* last and greatest wrong Willi the man hicli had preceded it, and fop which all sid ere more or less responsible, and unite n limbic efforts in support of a po!ii hich. in my Judgment, promised escape ir whole country from all siicii wrongs ii- future. What is spoken of as Mr. Hayes' .South") rilie.v was of far less significance. Tl (Uthcrii policy was a necessity of the situ on. Mr. Jiaycs had no power to avoid he end of carpel-bag plundering in tl until and disgrace io the nation had coi y cvems. Kven (icie ral (irant saw that t i'llIV could no longer be Used to settle co sted elections in the Stales, and mainta ibbcrs in power, Hut Willi our corrupt at ,-cr corrupting civil service the situatii as dill'crcnt. This evil had ils origin befo ie war. li had grown up under the nurlu f the leaders of the parlies, it had push s brazen supporters mid bencliciariesto tl out seals of authority. It had grown at rciiglhcd with every year, and seemed avc entrenched itself impresriirtbty durii el i era I (Jratit's administralion. Whe icreforc, in the very day of its insolent po' r, ill I he very midst of its pampered con ers, and on the very field of its great( way, Mr. Haves announced in clear at n.'alfcritig voice his purpose to strangle tl ydra of many heads, he seemed to exhll "ictcouragc, manliness and patriotism of i?i 'orthy to l>e President. This exliibitm iivc trie iiigli hopes <if the man, and sever irly, free and frank interviews which 1 ft iicoiiraged to seek with him grcaty strong! neit ami encouraged those hopes. Now, my frieiid.it is the iittcrand sickc ig disappointment which these hopes ha xperlenced, and nothing else, which h ireed from me the few words to which yi llutle. ami which have been falsi ly constt I by itepu'diean papers to express person itternessand hostility on my part town Ir. Hayes. In my opinion, Mr. Hayes h tterly failed to improve? indeed, h rangely thrown away?an opportulty lake for hiniseif a name worthy to be enn d willi 'hat of Washington, because that i: urtunity improved would have conferred! is country a benefit (julle c<|tial to any co >rred by Washington himself. He lias fa t because he has shown himself utterly 1111 uai tohis opportunity. He has shown Itii If unc<iual in that he has utterly failed :-ali/.c tliat the chief magistrate of a gr? uintry has till personal friends, no ncison iiimies.and owes no personal obllgalint ill is under obligations only to li is count) nd t > that country's honor, glory, prospe ),*, constitution and laws. He has lhro\ way his op| orlunity to honor himself ai veil his country by recognizing an obliy mi t > reward those who by frauds most d raccful to their country gave him thisoppi hi:ity. lie has thrown away the gramh pportunity ever given to a* man, only Hi e might giveolllccsand rewards toas wori ss a set of rapscallions as ever disgraced 1 lanity.
