'..md rtnd ImmisxrAtioii Association
Tao Cour.er.says that an important onter
pri .o has j IK entered upon it? inception in
Charleston. Generals M. C. BUTLER and
M. W. GARY, and our distinguished fellow
ci'?zon, JoatN CEADWICK, Esq., have en
tered into ar. a^ociation for the purpose o'
?a;ilita?ng anet promoting immigialion into
cur State. Tho importance of this enter
prise will at ?n?e be perr-eived, and it will
bo equally apparent that in oidor to make
lt a success oar people throughout tho State
will have to ?end their cordial assistance to
it. The Association proposes to establish
agencies in the principal cities of Europo,
and the North and Northwest, for the pur
pose of inducing immigration, and assisting
Buch per-ion-t who may desire to como to the
?1: ar.d b?como permanent settlers upon
the =;oil. The lind proprietors throughout
the State, to whom particularly immigra
tion is of the vastest importance, can facili
tate the Association by offering theirsurplus
lan^l. for salo on easy terms of credit. The
A iodation proposes to negotiate the pur
chase of such lands for immigrants, and
call* upon its friends to furnish them at
once with the information as to thc amount
of land thoy :r,.:y have to dispose of. The
names of tho gentlemen who form tho As

"We are to be Taxed ont of oar Prop
erty."
Below will be found important Resolu
tions, concerning tho vital question of Taxes,
adopted on Fridaj- evening last, by the
Charleston Board of Trade. We heartily
recommend to thc consideration of our peo
ple the action advised in these .Resolutions.
At this meeting of the Board of Trade,
vice-President WALTER said, among other
things:
It is only necessary to look at the alarm
ing increase of the debt of the State, and
the reckless expenditure which has marked
the history of the State for tho past five
years, to satisfy us?t once, that, as tax-pay
ers, we are bearing a burden too grievous
to be borne and which must inevitablv re
sult in bankruptcy and ruin. It means
confiscation, and there are those who do not
hesitate to announce that such is the pur
pose. We are to be taxed out of our prop
erty.
The Hon. GEORGE A. TRENHOLM also up
held the Resolutions in a strong and earn
est speech. The Resolutions are manly
and straight-forward, containing nothing
of hostility to the government. Mr. TREN
HOLM concluded his speech thus :
It may well be doubted if tho entire gross
annual income of the people from all sources
amounts to $20.000,000. Of this sum, what
is expended in the payment of wages con
tributes nothing to tho public resources
from the remainder. The monstrous pro
portion of $4.000,000 is demanded for taxes
in a sin ?lo vear-82,000,000 for tho current
year, and ?2,000,000, by anticipation, for the
year 1S72. Every virtuous and patriotic
man in the country, of every party, upon a
calm consideration of the unhappy condi
tion of our suffering people, will admit the
magnitude of our grievances, and tho pa
tience and moderation of our conduct. It
is to them, to our countrymen, that we ap
neal for sympathy and support in the ef
fort to savo ourselves from ruin. I have
no fears of the results of this appeal, and I
give my hearty support to the resolutions.
Let us hold a public meeting for the con
sideration ol' the Tax question, and for the
further purpose of co-operating with our
neighbors in the premises.
Here aro the Resolutions :
Whereas, Under the operation of the pres
ent State Government, the majority of the
property-holders and taxpayers of the State,
from whom the public revenue is mainly
derived, are excluded from any power in
thc legislation of the State, and irom any
practical influence in the imposition of
taxes :
And, whereas, Thc moneys raised by tax
ation are improvidently and corruptly used
and expended by persons who hold office
under the State government, and tho sums
appropriated for alleged public uses are ex
cossive and extravagant ;
And, whereas, The credit of the State has
been pledged illegally, and it is now pro
posed to pledge tho credit of tho State for
further loans, by a new issue of bonds,
which m'av be negotiated iu the market to
persons who may "take them, itt ignorance
*>f the circumstances under which'they arc
issued. Therefore,
1. Resolved, That we, the property-hol
ders and taxpayers of the State, residing in
the City ol' Charleston, do herebv deem it
mr duty to declare that the bonds hereto
fore issued without legal sanction, and the
iOrcalled sterling loan,;pr any other bonds
>r obligations hereafter issued to be under,
iud by virtue of thc authority of this State,
will not bc held binding on tis, and that we
shall; in every manner and at all times, re
;j,st the payment thereof, or the enforce
ment of any tax to pay the same, by all le
gitimate means within our power.
2. Resolved, That we deem it our duty to
warn all persons not to receive, by way of
purchase, loan or otherwise, any bona or
obligation hereafter issued, purporting to
bind the property or pledge the credit of
: he State; and that all such bonds or obli
gations will bc held by us to be null and
void, as having been issued corruptly, im
providently, and for fraudulent purposes,
?md in derogation of the rights of that por
ion of the people of this-State upon whom
.he public burdens are made to rest.
3. Resolved, That the taxpayers of the
State are hereby requested to meet in their
respective comities for the consideration ol'
;iiis subject, and the enormous tax levies
?f the current year, and for thc appoint
ment of two delegates to represent oach
.ounty in a State Convention, to be held in
Columbia on thc second Tuesday in May
next, for the same purpose.
4. Resolved, That this State Convention of
Taxpayers be requested to confer with his
Excellency, the Governor, on the danger
ous fiscal condition of thc State and request
ai.s official aid and co-operation in tho in
vestigation of the accounts of the Comp
:roller and the State Agent in New York,
.;o that the amount and character ol' the
b mded debt and all other liabilities of the
-?tate can be clearly stated, with a view to
mell further action sus may be necessary for
?o-protection of the public creditors and of
.lie taxpayers of the Commonwealth.

Thc Late Riot at Meridian.
A dispatch from Jackson, Miss., under
date of the2Slh, says:
"Theodore Sturgls, brother of thc ab
s jonding Mayor of Meridian, who published
i card in the New York Tribune, purport
ing io be a correct account of the Meridian
riot, published a card denying the state
ments of lils brother. He says: "I am fully
atisi'icd that facts are misrepresented, and
nm convinced that the publication was got
ten up for political purposes.
This Sturgls is a Northern man, and has
resided South many years. His brother
.arno South throe year's ago.
Aaron Moore, whom Sturgis reported
kille is here unhurt.
The Investigation in the case of the riot
ers is concluded. It shows that the ne
irocs brought on the troubles by tur
bulent overbearing conduct toward tho
whites, and murdering Judge White on the
bench. The underwriters of the insurance
company refuse to pay the insurance on
Sturgis' property, having proof that he was
tho incendian-.
" There is perfect peace and tranquility
throughout the State."
fr Friend HOYT, of the Anderson Ga
zette, bas recently been on a visit to Laurens,
and says :
" Politically, the people of Laurens are
enjoying a season ot comparative rest and
quietude. Aside from tho ovils under which
every citizen of South Carolina IR made to
groan, there is no complaint, and both races
are moving along with apparent harmony
and good feeling. Since the 20th of October
last, when the dastardly conduct of Radical
leaders culminated in agonoral moioo, there
has been no disturbance of any sort, and
thero is a better understanding between the
whites and blacks. The main instrument
of mischief was the notorious Joe Crews,
who ignominiously fled on that occasion,
leaving his dupes to bear the brunt of con
flict, as evory white man predicted. He
has nover returned, and probably never
will, and the colored people freely* declare
that it would be unhealthy for him to make
the venture."
??&*Gov. Scott has appointed Pr, John
A. BarkeV as Jury Commissioner for Edge
field County.

pany, of Columbus, have opened in connec

Places in An pasta Waich ft is Highly
Advantageous to Know.
MRS. LECKIE'S.-Mrs. LECKIE had a
grand opening on Tuesday last. Mrs. LECK
. IE is to Augusta what Madame Olympe is
to New Orleans. In Bonnets, Hate, Feath
ers, Flowers, Laces, Ribbons, ifcc, ita, &c,
she is totally-infallible. Our fair friends,
hereabouts, must not overlook lier card in
another column.
AUGUST DORR'S.-AUGUST Donn is the
most elegant tailor in the South. No one
disputes tho fact. When you Have drawn
on a suit made by Donn you feel (and look,
in many cases) as if a divie hand had pass
ed over your rugged proportions and
smoothed you out into an Apollo Belvidere.
See DORR'S new card.
TURLEYS.-JAMES TURKEY is one of
the genialest and kindliest of the many
genial and kindly. Irish gentlemen, of
whom Augusta may well be proud. His
Dry Goods Establishment is ono of the
,iiief ornaments of the city. Edgefield peo
ple already venerate TURLEY. So we need
say no inore, but point you to his Spring
announcement.
MBS. TWEEDY'S.-A very 'autocrat of
fashion is Mrs. TWEEDY. She has just
brought from New York a large Assort
ment of the richest and most elegant Milli
nery Goods, equal to any over offered in
Augusta. In another column, Bbc invites
the ladies of Edgefield to bear her in mind.
And indeed if they wish anything in hor
line, they may rely upon her for the very
latest styles, and for the most approved
manner.
BALK'S.-H. L. A. BALK is the famous
downtown Dry Goods Merchant, a courte
ous gentleman who always has in his Store
every thin g that money, enterprise and taste
can ferret out. BALK says " Cut out this
Advertisement, and bo sure to give mc a
call.!' A good idea ! Do it.
KEENAN'S.-Is any one in so pitiable a
condition as not to know who PETER
KEENAN is? PETER KEENAN, the prince
of Shoe Merchants. He is next door to
JAMES A. GRAY <fc Co., and he is deserving
too of such distinguished juxtaposition.
Read his list in another part of to-day's
issue. It is wonderfully !
COULDN'T RAISE THE MONEY.-The New
York Sun says :
The Republican leaders of Connecticut
have been down to this city to endeavor to
raise money for the purpose of their cam
paign. They have not been successful. The
rich Republican merchants here who have
been in the habit of giving freely on such
occasions, refuse to come down. Thev say
tliey will do nothing for a party whose Presi
dent connives at the robbery which they
suifer from the present general order storage
system, this robbery being carried on for the
benefit of his militar}- and personal favorites.
? Thev are of the opinion that the favorites
ought to be required, out of their rich spoils,
to pay the necessary contribution to Con
necticut.
M I'RDER OP A METHODIST MINISTER.
A friend in this city sends in the following
' item :
Rev. R. P. Davies, a Methodist Minister
of the Little ROCK Conference, was murdered
by a man named Boyd, near Lewisville, Ark.,
a short time since. Thc Western Methodist
says some little dispute had arisen between
them in the morning, but had been amicably
settled, as supposed oy Davies, who went to
Boyd's house to dinner. Starting home
after dinner, Boyd accompanied him a short
distance, the two conversing in as friendly a
manner as they had ever done, when sudden
ly Boyd dropped behind, drew a pistol -and
commenced tiring. The shot was fatal,
Davis expiring the next morning at 2 o'clock.
RALEIGH, N. C., March 28.
Thc House impeached Edmund W. Jones,
Judge of the Second Judicial District, on
charges of drunkenness and disgraceful con
duct in Haleigh, and similar conduct in
Goldsboro'j Tar'uoro' and in Williamston,
where he went to hold Court. The Senate
received the charges, and the trial commences
on Friday.
DEATH OF REV. R. C. GRIER, D. D.
We regrot to learn of tho dpath of Presi
dent Grior, of Erskine College, at his resi
dence, in Duo West, at 1 o'clock, on yes
terday. Dr. Grier was a citizen of high
character, and more than ordinary endow
ments, and his loss will bo felt In thc church
and in thc collcgo over which he has so

SOUTH CAROLINA SECURITIES IN NEW

ton papers say was wholly without provoca
ton, was made upon Driver Davis and Con
ductor Toomer, of Kjng Street Car, No. 1,
at about 8 o'clock, on tho night of the 29th.
The offenders were a company of negro
militia, armed to the teeth with improved
rifles and fixed bayonets. This incident
shows what the whites have to expect, when
the armed militiamen, at fifty to ono, attack
unarmed citizens. These negroes are not
fit to be .trusted with deadly -weapons) but
the devil must be fought with fire, and if |
tho blacks aro not disarmed, the whites
must arm at once. That is tho long and
the short of it.

Aware of the fact that most all our mer

therefore, we have established a Sample

The " PAIN KIIXEB" may Justly he styled- the great
medicine of the world, tor lhere ls no region of tho globe
into which it has not found its wey, and been largely
used and highly prUcd. Moreovur, lhere li no clime to
which it ha? not proved to be well adapted for the cure
of a considerable variety of disease? ; It ls a .speedy and
safe remedy for bums, scalds, cuts, bruises, wounds and
various other injuries, as well as for dysentery, dlarrhor-p.
and bowel complaints generally, lt is rdmlrshly guiled
for every race of men on the face or the globe.
It is u very significant fact, that notwithstanding the
long period of years that tho "Pam Killer" has been
boforo the world, it has never lost ono whit of lu popu
larly, but, OD the contrary, tho call for lt has steadily
Increased fr#n its first dUcoverv, and at no prevloas
time has tho demand for it been so great, or the
quantity made boen so large, as it ls to-day.
Another signiflcaat fact Is, that nowhere ha? the Pain
Killer ever boon In higher repute, or been morcgeneral
ly used by fs milles and Individuals, luau lt bas been
here at borne, where It was first discovered and intro
duced. That thc Pain Killer will continue to bo, what
we have styled it, TUE OUEAT MKOICINK OP TUE VORLO,
there cannot bo the shadow of a doubt-[Providence
Advertiser.
Cheering FactB for the Bilious.
Ever)* day demonstrates more clearly that liver com
plaint, In all its distressing ioma, can be controlled and
anrod wlihout difficulty or inconvenience. Ilia an ob
stinate disease, but its obstinacy Is not proof against tho
pertinacious, remedial and restorative operation of
Hosteller's Blomaoh Bitters. That jenial corrective
compel* the organ to do itt dirty. It muH jccrete
regularly and healthfully under the Influence of the Rit
iera Their action brings it back from natale of rebel
lion into perfect .rmony with the laws of health. If
Ibero is costiveness, lt disappears; If there is side-ache
or back-ache, lt ceases; If the skin and ihe whiles
at the eyes are fmged with superfluous bile, thcy
rc. ' their natural hue; If the nppcllto Is gone,
lt rc .ns; if the dlgostion ls Impaired, H ls restored; In
brief, whatever tho symptoms of the complaint may bo,
ami whatever the phase lt has assumed, a cure it cer
tain. Such aro tho uuifbrm e?ects of this preparation
where bllllous disease has been already developed ; but
In cases where lhere is merely a constitutional tendency
lo liver complaint, lt may bc prevented throughout lift,
by the regular use, In small quantities, of this palatable
smlidote. These are proven facts, and should be serious
ly pondered-or, rather, they should bo promptly ^tei
upon-by all persons of bilious habit.
