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.

As to the free schools, their number, it
is true, is greater now, but their effectiveness
certainly bears no proportion

I '
well to observe that the actual expen.

that in 1300, nearly all t ho county expenses

more than the entire tax of 1806. In

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

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

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 '

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. Col.
