r if The Press and Banner. t! ABBEVILLE, S. C. I1 , <) By HUGH WILSON & W. V. UENET. J g?? - a Wednesday, 0ct.I30, 1878. Tho Abbeville Republican Convcn- j tion. : j We publish this morning an account of! t] the proceedings of tho rej^blican eon-jti veution held hero last Saturday. Tho rc- j r port is as full as possible under tho eir- 1, cumstances. A county ticket was nomi- j nated. Tho nominees of that convention ^ are somo democrats, some republicans 0 somo white, somo black. Of course the ti nomination of the democrats was unan- J h thorizctf; and will bo declined by them ! h all. Indeed several of these gentlemen 1 publosh letters in these columns duclin- ij ing tho nomination, and the others as 0 boon as they hear of the honors thus unexpectedly thrust upon them will refuse s, to accept them. The convention was composed entirely ot ncprocs 01 wmuu i only two or tliree wcro mulattos. Not a u -"white man was present. The business ;l was transacted peacefully ami formally, j, aiul the convention adjourned nine (lie. j. Our people will learn with sinccro re- () grots of the action of the Abbeville col- o orod republicans at the eleventh hour. 'I Wo had all hoped that in Abbevillecoun- j e ty at least there would be no opposition j; to the democratic ticket, and that on the I' 5tli of November there would bo 110 need ii for vigilance and no cause for excite- i Went. The democratic ticket is made up 1 of men who are, so far as wo know, un objectionable to tho colored voters, some t of tliem indeed well known to bo the lie- ' gro's friends; and it was rcasonablo to ' expect that as the colored people had suf- t fered so much themselves from republi- I can misrule, mid had no complaint to ' make against the Democratic government 1 of tho last two years, they would surely 1 abstain from needless and hopelcs oppo- ' sition and either not vote at all or vote t for tho Democratic nominees. s This opposition is disappointing, and 1 although not discouraging, for success will, nay i shall be achieved by tho Abbe- 5 ville Democracy next Teusday, still si. ' far as regards peace, quiet and concord 1 between the two races it is dishearten- ' ing. What can theso deluded nogroes 1 liopo to gain by their action of last Saturday? The small meeting shows that the interest up to date was not violent noi widespread, and implies that but for a j few oflieo-seekers and ex-legislators, tho ( colored people would not have made any j , roove a Lsill. We therefore pity tho folly { . BIIU UilllUiieai' iiiiiuMitiiiij.; tu niw.^b i<; j ness of the colored Republicans in allowing themselyes to bo arrayed once more against their white neighbors. One ol ( the speakers stated that tho colored peo- j plo were entitled by their numbers to r representation in tho Genersl Assembly, j ?tho nominations of negroes as t j&clr This at first sight looks plausible ^ and it must seem to ignorant negroes an , incontrovertible assertion. Well, it i> r time to toll them tho exact truth, thai , while it is true that the colored voters o! r South Carolina outnumber tho whito vo- ; ters, the.wliito voters outweigh the color- j ed voters-^in intelligence, influence and r wealth. Let us tell them that while as a j mere matter of arithmetic tho colored r votes can overwhelm tho white votes, yet as a matter of fact and historical c truth, when it comes to the governing ol "~"a great country the white votes must outweigh and overpower tho colored votes. If we go only by a ';uunt of heads, this State will certainly bo ruled by negroes ; but if we go by a count of property, tax- s paying, education, ability and right, just ' as certainly will this State bo ruled by <white men. And by whito men it --'shall be ruled. We do not say il 1 shall be ruled for . whito men. No. < The negro and all hi? rights as a t y- citizen and a fellow-man shall bo re- t spected and maintained. But until the i negro race shall become the equal of the J white race in intelligence, in morality, t . in industry and in property-holding, tbo ' latter shall not bo subjected to the form- ^ er, no matter how inferior in number- :1 tho white race may be. The negro raci z are our wards, and the}' shall uot become J our guardians. They wore weighed i: ^ tho balarfces ten years and they wen t. found miserably tvanting. In the inter- * ests of civilization, of morality, of peace, r in the interests of not tho white race only '' but also of the negro race, tho govern- 11 , mcnt of South Carolina must not be suffered to fall into the hands of the colored voters, The liberty for which our fathers V fought must not bo surrendered to our , ?-former slaves. The land which our fa- * thers purchased with their blood and secured with their swords must not bo rul- ( ( . fcd by art. alien race whose history is not [ yet begun. * '.<-What is the duty of our people with inference to the action of the republicans? It is simple and plain. Great though radical folly is, democratic patience is commensurate with if. Our people will not resort to ku-kluxing, or shotgun intimidatiou, but llioy will quietly, firn^ly and vigilantly assemble at the pollsnext Tuesday, and see that not one of the democratic colored voters is intor\ .feredjwith, or intimidated, and that if any republican colored man wishes to vote \ the democratic ticket, he will not be prevented from doing so by his party. Lei evory democrat white or black deposit his vote in the ballot box next Tuesday, . and the victory already a< -I.vcd will be , made permanent. Above all, let peace, - fairness, and concord reign in our county on the 5th of November. . ? No .Cnnsc to be Alarmed. In another column will be found a full account of the Radical Convention which * assembled in this place last Saturday in [ secret session. Their work wi 11 surely ? tn tlinir n^vjintnfrn m^aipjiou HV/llHi.p W V.V. , v...??nv, f and we are only| sorry for the deluded creatures who have by this action not .only excited the opposition of their * white friends, but have made themselves ; * thd laughing stock of their own race who s . take little or no interest in tho nomina. tions of these men who represent nobody t but themselves. We presume there was nof,.as f-egards numbers, a decent precinct meeting held anywhere in the ' county; to send delegates, while it iscer* tain that a number were self-appointed. ^ When their action first became known on our streets last Monday thero was a flutter i^tjong the Democrats, because of i the secrecy of tho meeting and of the un- i Ipcertainty as to its importance. Any 1 reader familiar with tho surroundings . will see at glance, this meeting did not k represent the mass of the colored people, F and that it signifies nothing. It was evi- \ 1 .dently gotten up b}- Ab. Titus and a few . school teachers who seemed anxious to k enter the political arena. William M. IM. Pressly's remarks will command ftrtespect for their candor and good sense. , tit is to be regretted that so largo a numHber of tlu> delegates wero school teachers By hose superior intelligence and cducaRtion make them men of mark among their own race. That intelligence and p ?*lucation should make them eschew pol- 1 I iitjes if they have tho best interosts of ( a their race at heart. - I E. Fraser, AD. juuhmm utxjci o liiu uigvu | In language which certainly was not in- J tended for Democratic ears. 1 In this connection it might not be ' Amiss to state that Isaac II. White made s asjJdech on Friday night in the school/ 1 liouse lefore the colored Christian As- c sociation in which ho told the colored i peoplo that it was no use for them to I m*kc nominations; as tho white people fi nDMMMMMraBRSMBHBMMMBaHa rould not allow tliom to vote as tlicy' 'J1] hoose. There was n largo Republican mjnritv in tlio comity, but the colored; eople had not the right to voto for men 1 f their choice. He said lie was out of 1 iolilics now, and advised his people toi :>ok to the od neat ion of their children, g^j nd to their individual prosperity. The Next Legislature. The result of the election next Tues-i,^ ay will send to Columbia a Democratic! ?gislature which will includo not niorej lum twenty per cent, ol* tlie members of, J lie famous "Wallace House." In some .i: (.'(M ountics not one of the old members will e returned, in others only one or two. c'oi Lt first sight this fact may surprise our ?oi eople, as no doubt it has surprised many ; ^ f the ex-legislators. It seems strange J ?? liat the whole Stale ticket should have, ten eon renominated, and so lew of the old ' Legislature. The reasons are various.; ai| 11 the first place, many of the ex-mem- ; cm ers did not seek re-election. In the sec- j I'''1 ml place not a few of tho very best men ; 11 the "Wallace House" had made thein-j jnt, elves fair marks for the demagogue be- :.... ause of their independent advocacy of nensures which they knew were unpop- , lar. Popular prejiulico was stirred up ' , gainst those men and their places have o?i eon taken by others who, possessed of j 'j'.1' ittle wisdom and less principle, have j,,' penly declared themselves ready to vote i .m, nly for popular measures right or wrong.1 ha? 'he majority of the ex-members, how-1 Ja| ver, are doubtless grievously disap-1 pointed at being left at home. The de-job: wit of most of them wr.sdesirable. Their! ph iiexperience, their itching desire to leg- J jjjj -late, their rashness, all conspired t??} ?*(, nake them commit many blundcis, and in t is to be hoped that better men will lill{. ' heir places. The abnormal condition of, '"| 1 I col uir State during fifteen years of mi-rule, vvj lad not trained the Democratic party in l'ol he science of government. Democrats lad had little else to do with government j ban to pay taxes, and of necessitv inanv * ? * ' i cm intried men wore sent to Columbia as j ?w epresentatives. Will the next legisla-! tci ure be better than the last? Wcthink it! I' * vi 11. While it is to be regretted thanjj'e I to ome of the Democratic nominees arc uKj ipenly and professionally demagogues i K\ vho should have been left at home, slill j,S:| n the new General Assembly there will \ j jc asufllcient number of wise, good and j \v (Xpcrienced men to render tho presence; b" 1 1 in. >f such creatures in Columbia less harm- li] sel ul than it was m the last one. sii ? Y: The Brown Taxes. In another column of the Press and < r?anticr may be found a letter from ! Uc Comptroller General Ilagood to Colonel r. T. Robertson, in reforeneo to the thiry per cent, of Brown taxes which have J >eeti unjustly charged against the citizens >f Abbeville County. The letter is in >>r eply to a letter recently addressed to the Comptroller General by Col. Robertson, < n which he in strong and forcible terms in: >rescntcd tho grievanco under which we el' SII low labor by reason of tiie levy of the Irown taxes. From the tenor of the Comptroller General's letter it appears to k' is that ho at least is willing that their crorshould be rectified. He indicates the ourse which we must pursue to be set scl ight, in that we must appeal to tho Leg- Jo slature to correct the error which the set .oarcl of Equalization made in raising t;t ?ur property beyond its real value. "rom his statement it will now bo for j >ur members of tho Legislature to look Cr ifter our interests. This wo have no pu loubt thev will do. tlT of .<?. in Trouble in Williamsburg. In Williamsburg a number of citizens lave been arrested at the instance of j j j1( > wails, the negro Senator who resigned in? lis office to buy immunity from prose- no ution for bribery ami other rascality. , Vfter receiving clemency from the Dcm- j1() icrats he has harassed the people of his 15. ;ounty to such an extent, that a commit- Pr ce of citizens gave him notice to leave he county or take the consequences. IIo 0j vent to Washington, where he paused in jn< President Hayes's willing cars a dolelul th< ale, and Attorney-General Devens, givng heed to his cry, instructed the United States Marshals to look after this case, t|)( nd the result is, that a number of citi- cd ens have been arreted. Wo hope that t'<; his action on the part of the United itates Government may till the hearts of he true men of Williamsburg to do their ^ vhole duty. Swails' action shows the j,( ;rcater need of good government. We lis lopethat they may not hold up on Swails, w it any rate. " ?> CO I Decline to be Candidates. In nearly every exchange, wo notice lei ho cards of Democrats, who have been 1jc lominated on the Radical ticket, declinng to accept places 011 the ticket which . 1 as been set up against the white people (o if the State. If this doesn't show patri- co ?tism, it certainly shows that their dis erning powers are good, and that they ilo not intend to be caught in bad company, after the election. Another ominous sign may l>e sefMi in our exchanges. The Radicals of this State are 1 a wise folk and know exactly when to It: lly from the Republican party. We saw ^ numbers of instances of this kind m '70, ac and now the papers in the counties which have heretofore been under Radical rule are full of cards from three latter day saints professing a renunciation of their Republican principles, while proclaim- el inir their conversion to the Democratic ('l faith. These facts may be welcomed as . ' harbingers of victory for virtuous and jr; honest rule in South Carolina. s:i 01 Campbell a Gone-backer. Cll We are sorry to see that Hon. James B. j',' Campbell who was a Democratic Senator j j?? in the last Legislature has turned against I ei; his race and allowed h!s name to be put j |'.J at the head of the Radical ticket in that j it County for Senator. CharTeston is in- jj deed sorely tried, but we hope for herjlti own sake and for the sake of the State j that she may be successful, and achicvca j cr Democratic victory. The State needs the! ".J ability and wisdom of the Charleston del- j egation in the Legislature, and we know t'li that tho pride and the public spirit of the I citizens of the principal cit y in the State | > :; will uo their best. All eyes are turned j 'j' to Charleston. May wisdom, fortitude, ? t nerve and unswerving fidelity to duty receive a just reward. 11 ^ hi!

It is a wretchedly weak sound they now make. .<0. ;v Only One Iicx. su Wo understand that there is some p': Joubt as to tho number of boxes to bo opened at cacli election precinct, and also is to the hours for opening and closing Cc the polls. Tho printed circulars of the I-1 Election law sent; to each County Chairman, and also to the Commissioners and Managers of Election, direct that there ihall bo but one box at each election pre- by linct, and that the polls shall b6 opened j or it six in the morning and closed at six in A he evening.

C., Oct. 22, 1878. K'li'wx Press and Hauncr; Pwon Y ur manly vindication of the rights of the people against the action of the State Hoard Jj1. of L(iU;ilizjitlon, meets with the hearty en- 0 dorni'iriotit of the Saluda Side of Abbeville o( County, und I have 110doubt, of the people of 10 tlie entire County and they look to you to ,WI i continue your valuable services In, their behalf. The action of the Hoard increasing the | j,"or j value of real estate outside of towiWf and vil- j,*or L laifOii thirty per (rent, and that within, twelve | j,-or L percent, is universally denounced as nn un- U,-or t authorized, arbitrary and despotic usurpation | j,-ur t of power which alone vests in the people, anil who'y subversive of their rights under i.-or j Constitutional guarantees. They have or- j,0|. t Idained in their Organic Law, that. "110 subsi- j.-or t i dy, charge. impost tax or duties shall be cs- j.0|. t | tablished, llxed, laid or levied, under any j t pretext whatever, without the consent of the (vVd people or their representatives lawfully assembled." Such Is their announcement in j their "bill of rights," and as If to limit the jjCS|j ' the power of taxation, of which they are al- jti-jsL I ways Jealous, by a still more explicit sanction I | they ordain that "no tax shall be levied ex-njyst cept in pursuance of a law, which (law) shall U).st j distinctly state the object of the same." The i neonlc regard the action of this Hoard not only ax unauthorized and arbitrary, out n? ? ] rolled ion on their honor and Integrity. They j ui;,t have ordained that "all property .'subject to | taxation shall be taxed In proportion to ltsjjjc.,st value" and it is made the duty, as it is the j{cst, privilege of the people, to make return of ijUs? that value under oath an it Is established in j{e?l open market. In the face of this Injunction, and as a sti^rra upon the returns of the pco- iJest jde, which they have made under nntli, this I Hoard says you have made a false return ; I you people of Abbeville County especially, jjest and to ecrrect the result of your pertldy. we jjest J (the Hoard) will dccice against you the dell- i?ust cieney of thirty per cent. Abbeville County -j has always borne, and Isst.il 1 wllllmr to bear XJcst, her proportionate share of the burden of taxation, with her sister Counties, but to be thus insidiously discriminated against by an ir- l'. responsible Hoard Is an insult, and an outraue, which they will not tolerate whether .I;. perpetrated by those under democratic or redicaI rule, ami are determined to resist It by all lawful means. To thisend the citizens of this (oi iship desire a convention of the ,JL', heople to assemble at Abbeville C. II., Kale J;; , i day next to devise the ways and means of relief. The people desire the practical fruits of 7., , ! nomocracy and not the name only. It mat I tors not by what name we are called if the "Cftl result is the same. Jl Hest The State Boakd ok Equalization.? Hest In our last issue we presented figures f oni Hest our Auditor's books showing the average val- Hest ue of the lands of this county, outside of Hest towns, to be 32 per acre. The total valuation Hest of these lands is SI,Itii),jefi). The taxes on that Hest amount at the present assessment !"X mills Hest amount to $M,514.-12. Tho 1 oard <f ftquall- Best zation by Its recent arbitrary action, decides Hest that the above lands shall be raised to an av- Hest tratc of So per acre, which would given total valuation of SI,titii,!?lS, on which a tax of mills would produccSr>,*Ifi.fi3. Now let us see j>RSt what the diderelict' is between this amount 11,^1 of taxes, 3I."),Klti.tW which the State Hoard of Equalization demands that Lexington! oun- u(/st ty shall pay on her lands outsids of towns, ^P'S| and the taxes paid on the same lands In the i^t year ls7.">, when we were uudar tlie heels of j}cst the Radical thieves. In that year the lands were under the same assessment, an average _ of 82 per acre, total value ji, 100,it'll). The tax {;CK| levy that year was for State purposes 11 mills }JesJ ami for county 2'i mills, mak ing a total of 1.% mills. 'J Ills tax on the above value Si,- jjesl lofl,!t39, yielded tfll.twt.I7. It will thus l?e seen that taxes next year on lands outside of UcM towns in this county, if the levy leinalrs the same as at present mills, will be Sl.VUit.- Hest :{<>; whereas the ta.x?on thesainelands in 1?7."> Hest under the Radicals, was only $11 17, mak- Hest ing a dill'erence in favor of the Hadical ad- Hest 1 ministration of $$21.Hi. Again, if the tax of Hesl Slo.StO.fti, which an above shown, the state in Hoard demands, iiad to be raised on the pres- Rest cnt valuation of our lands ? 1,1011,0.19, it would lies! require a levy of U!4 to produce it, which Best would be 14 mill more than the Radical levy of 1S75. We have made thecalcuiatlon-i atitj<; mills from the fact that that Is the present jj.JK| rate and we do not know that the Hoard has i any delinite knowledge that the next Legislature will reduce It. This unjust and arbitra- n ry action, if carried out, will take from the J'0* people of this county ?5,27^,21 per annum, or {jf" ' saj,7?l,a.? in live years, the length of time such equalization is intended to continue in force. *iCS We are pleased Iosco that other connty papers are discussing this subject with glove off Besl and we trust that they will he abl? to make Bes the position of the State Board so clearly tin- Bes Just, that, reconsideration will follow.?Lan- Bes easier Leilycr.
