llORRY NEWS.j T. W. BEATY, Editok. ( We are in no tcttft reejyoneible , for the views qf our Correspondents. | TUESDAY, J A N BAR Y 20, 1874. TUB 7\ 1XJPA YJ8H& CON\ J JS TION. The executive Commit lee of the Taxpayers eovention met in Charleston on the 1 Slli instant, A i ?solution was adopted summoning, and requesting the members ol tne taxpayeiB couvtmun to reassemble iu Columbia on Tuesday the 17th day of February ensuing at 12 o'ch ck meridian, A secoad resolution was adopted, requesting all persons opposed to the Frauds and corruptions which preTVii and who are in favor of honest government w ith iqual rights to all, to z' meet at their respect ive County Scats on ^ the first Monday of February, ensuing, and then and there elect or appoint additional delegates, equal to the representation of each county in the IIouho ol Representatives of the General As I'uuiy, 10 represent tlicm in the Taxpayer's Convention ol the State, with a vii w to th? security ol right and the prevention of wrong We sincerely hop* that a large majority ol taxpayers in this county will feel a deep an ! sufficient interest in this mattei to meet at the court houst n xt Sales day. We believe that nearly, or quite, e?ery citizen of this county, even those who were ho ->d-\vinked, under th'' guise of reform vote the Moses ticket, are opposed to the frauds and corruptions that exiat in the Stato f-Mivermnent, the fruit ol which is the pirsent ruinous high taxes. Horry should be represented in that convention. If any gaod results from it, she *i!l receive her share of the benefit; it is said by some that no goad can be derived from it, it i? certain it can r*.?ult in no injury to the taxpayer. On the contrary, we think much good tiiay come of it; it is true that at the font meeting of the taxoavers convnn ? J ~ "* lion ihiny;* wore ho hid in the dark that tin ron\notion was wholey depemlant on tlu* part) then in powor tor Hooks, I'm porn and represent lions on which to base their statement and to draw conclusions in regard to the condition xit ihe Stale, this led to an under estimate ot the outstanding State obligations which for a time tended 10 still taithei conceal their rands; hut some Tit them have come \o light, ami that too sorely against the wish of the party how in power, whose brain is just as fruitful l?.r laying plans and schemes to continue up these hands as were \h"Ht? of thefr predecessors. By ine meeting of this convention Uu? people will show to the party now in power that they have, by their acts, forfeited all confidence of the tax payers, and that they are determined to follow the , up, and bring to light hvery d eed of theirs intended for t heir hwa benefit at the expense of the Stale; ih addition to this, we opine that the convention will lay down a just estimate of exactly how much the tax levy tboiild be to carry on the government I tacoeHniuily on an economical basis, and that too in so plain language and figures thu' every tax payer may see for himself, that it one iota beyond this is levied it is lor fraud and uot or Slate purposes. By all met . , let Horry be represented. Look IXora Upon this Picture and On This. ~ - r ' 111 A To show to the worl I the rtttor pro0iK scy and extravagance of the King which rules .South Carolina, a*e take from the official records thu expenditures of the State for the fiscal year ISrto-'tiG, when we had an honest Njoverriraent, and contrast them with those of 1 R'TO-^n 1855--68 1872-73.

Excepting the freo schools, there is no object of legitimate expenditure which exists now that did not exist in 180(1. It will hardly ho said that our judiciary is more able or more honest, our public institutions more faithfully supported* or our public officers wiser or better" As to the free schools, their number, it is true, is greater now, but their effectiveness certainly bears no proportion I to their increased cost. It may bo I ' well to observe that the actual expen. dilures made do not represent the real cost of the government in either year. There were undrawn appropriations of t !i?'lisc.:il vnnr I UC.A ? iia n t \.... I , ^v/?/ IW I 3104,350 04. There were unpaid appropriations for the fiscal year 1872-73 amounting to $099,144. There was a balance ot cash in the State Treasury on the 1st of October, 1800, amount* ingto$211. 190 83, to meet undrawn ! appropriations amounting to $104,050 01. There was a balance in the State j Treasury, at the etui of the fiscal year 1872-73, amounting to $0 18 to meet unpaid appropriation amounting to $0t9,144. In the legislative expenses of 1805-00 arc included the cost of two sessions, the special and the regular session, both in full. The claim8 I passed and paid in 1805-00 were $7,180 02. The claims duo and unpaid in 1872-,73 were $5i,3f>G. There was paid cut for the useless enrolment and <uganization of the militia in 1 872-,73 25,719 12, with a deficiency besides of $o,321. In lSOo-,00 nothing was ex pen led or appropriated for this pur. pose. It must be remembered, too, that in 1300, nearly all t ho county expenses for jurors and constables shcrifi*,M fees for dieting prisoners, dee. were defrayed by tho Stats. They, are now paid by the several counties, and there wan. in 1873 mi m-l.l'o i<\noi ~f iai for that ami other purposes amounting to 3 mills on the dollar, or more than the entire tax of 1806. In (lie latter year the tax on real estate wan If? cents on the hundred dollars or mills on the dollar, upon a valna. tion about one-half ot the present assessment. According to the present valuation the rato of taxation on property in I860 could not have been more than ^ of a mill. In 1372-,73 < the rate averaged about 16 mills on the dollar, and this year ii will bo at 'east 10 mills. We are therefore actually paying on our property to-day a tax uearly nineteen times as groat as we paid in I860, when we hail an infint.ely better government. The official fiigurri tell the whole story. Charleston News vnd Courier.

If tins l>o not bold robbery we don't know what to call it."?Georgetown Times. GUSHING V/ITHDRA WN. [nr TEf.EORAPlI TO TUF. NEWS AM) ' OCRIER.] Washington, January 14?Noon. ! The sensation in yesterday's caucus 'was the production of a letter from Cashing addressed to President Davis at Montgomery, recommending a person for employment in the ordnance department. The President is quoted to-day as saying that many noted Kepu. | blicans of to-day would show a worse < I record than Cusbing's were the correspondence before the firing on Sumter ' unearthed. The Cabinet is holding a ! special session over the Cusliing noin1 ination this morning, i Washington, January 14?3.30 P, M. Pushing lias requested the withdrawal <>1 his name, and the President has complied. The cabinet is still in session, Hut the next victim is not yet announced. Stephens boldly announced that bad be been present yesterday he would have voted against the repeal of the salary bill. Unjust Prococding. ' We underciand that Messrs F. W. McMnster, L. E. IjeConte, J. D. Pope, 1 A. C. Haskell, W. K. Dachman and L. F. Youmans, attorneys at law in ' this city, wore last evening, served * with a notice from his Honor judge 1 Carpenter that they were susj ended t rom their duties as attorneys until * ; hey returned the aasctR of the Citizens1 c daviugfl Hank to the control of his j court and refunded the loes the bank i paid them. It will be ren embered i ihat Mr. J. Ii.

( ' >1 ui,ibi.<t I','idi nixy They went bo Forgotten* When arising to address the Senate upon the salary swindla on Friday last, Mr. Ilowv: of Wisconsin, by way of apology, commenced by saying that a friend bad asked him if lie intended to ppcnU on the subject, and that he replied, "No, unless God forgets iiu." Mi. Howe then went on to tell the ^etiatc that he was afraid God had for- 1 gotten him. Nay, more; it seemed as if God haW forgotten them all. Senator Howie is mistaken. His speech reminds us of an anecdote of Lord Tiiuulow and John Wii.kks. When Gkokc.k 111. first became insane it, was proposed to have a regency and muko the Prince of Wales sole regent. This would ceitainly cause a change of Ministry, and Tiiuiclow, j who was then the Tory f.onl Chan. culb>r, would lose his ofliee unless he could curry favor with the Princo> who was a very decided Whig. So for three or tour nights Lord Tiiuulow warmly advocated the regency bill. The debate then went over for a week. In the mean tirno the Kim? became CI so much better that it was pretty evident there would be no present need 1 of a regency. At their next meeting the discussion on the bill was resumed in the I Vers, a large number ol Coin moners going over to listen to it, and among lliein the witty, satirical Witk r.n. To the amazement <>1 Lords, Commons, and spetators, up rose the | wily old Chancellor, and delivered a 1 strong argument against the hill, as completely answering his previous speeches as Caleb Cashing ever demolished a diplomatic despatch he had sold a week or two before to Hamilton fish. l>v way of giving a sanctimonious touch to his duplicity the Chancellor closed his speech with something resembling a prayer. Lifting bis hands ^'iiul his eyes toward the ceiling, he viuncu out, "II l forget my country, may my country forget me! It L forget my King, m:\y my King forget mc! And ot?, it 1 forgot my God, may my God forget me!'' Wilkes, loud i enough to be heard on the woolsack, I ejaculated, "God forget you, you old *>yi >oeriteV No, he'll see yon datum d ! first!" Senator Howe is mistaken. The Senate and House of tlm Forty-second and Forty-third Congresses will not be forgotten.?A\ Y. fun. COL. FRED" GRANT*?ACTING THE RUFFIAN. Washington, Jan 12.?Tlic state ment telegraphed from here last nigh^ in regard to a card puhliscd in yester. day's Capital was incorrect. J learn from Gen. Banning, who is stpoping i at Col. Pialt's houste, that the persons i who called there and asked for Col I'iatl were Jim Casey and Lieut.-Col, Fred. Grant. As Col Piatt was absent Cen. Banning, on being told that the men refused to givotheir names, went to the door, whereupon the two took their departure. The way the assault was planned showed that serious injury was intended Col. Piatt. When the servant went to answer the bell he found young Grant at the door ac- i coinpanied by another larg man, both 1 being armed with heavy sticks. They asked it Col. Piatt was in, and the servant replied that lie would see, and , asked what names. Fred Grant said that did uot matter. The servent 1 went down stairs to the Colonel's library, and not finding the Colonel in ( told Gen. Banning that there were < two men at the front door who wanted i to sec Col. Piatt and refused to give their names. ' "Who are they?" asked tho Genoral wi (?li J "I think one is young Mr. Grant," ? replied the servant. General Dunning hurried up stairs? the Colone's library is in the basement ?and on reaching the hall he was met ( >y Casey and Fred. Grant, who had 1 jntered the house and placed them- | iclves in a position to knock the Goimel on the head. As soon as he ap>eard, finding the wrong man was in hey took a hurred leave. Wliat nukes this piece of ruflianism all the vorsc is the fact that Mrs. Piatt is in J eeblo health and any excitement rVould probably prove fatal.
