MESSiM EDrroRs.-It has been a long
time since we have peneiled youaline,
and to-night we will give you a few
"dot&", Duties havebeensuch that we
esA&Wot gettimato write, and not on
th)ibis, but "items" were scarce. It
maybe interesting to you and your
adr to know something about taxa
ion in Virginia Fromi the "Hzar."
we see that you are dreadfuly taxed in
'Sorg Crolina that the people ne
longer wllng to see impcsition, have
IeQed a vmvention. We sincerely
hopetit good may be accompfished.
-Fifteen cents ou the dollar" taxation!
T'ha very idea is enough to drive the
taxpayer to distraction. This was but
a single instance, yet if all the land in
Sotiolina were forced into market
would it be mach better? Here it is
about eghty4ve cents on the hundred
4oa d nis cnalered pretty high
faifrly, the revenues colleeted.honorably
and disbursed honestly. When such is
thenswetapayreed not complain.
We tidhow that the emancipation of
e slaveharobdteothohr
perty must be greater, but should we
-nttr tame our laws, so as to les
-sen the -expenses :of the government?
%Thes5olof the Southisjustaspr~odu
- ive asit was in dayt gone by. The
same sun stilhines, heaven stBi drops
-gentle dews, and the winds still ride
over the land as- chariot-king. The
climate, the water, and the people are
still.the same Why then not make the
South the great emporium of the world?
It can be doneten let it be done.
Miaetr belyed States are rising,
advancing. Why then should the mon
* tere skeleto, Um," stand in the
-midst ofone of the most beutiful States
. in, the Uniion, and stare her trembling,
fearing people in the face? Why ebould
"AwARoHr," with his iron heel,prs
sp hard upon these poor, down-trodden
peoplp? This should not be, yet it is so.
Refoa~nadeed.~ Revolution will not
do. Reform is the word. Beform must
be. REform~ will be. Without it all
wli be lost. The South, the bautiful
South, wiR'become as-the Sahara unless
there is Reform.
A word now about the "Public School
System." Why Is,it, that South Caro
lna pays so much .tax for the support
of Public Schools, and there is com
plaint that the teachers are not paid?
We are not informed as to how the sys
tem is working outside of this County,
but we know it is doing well here. The
County Superintendent is an enter
prising man. None are employed but
competent men, who are subjected to a
rigid examination before a school is
given them. They get their pay regu
larly, and are as prompt in the dis
charge of their duty.
There is considerable excitement up
now in the County upon the Liquor sub
ject. "Refor-m" is at work among the
people on whiskey. Petitions are in
circulaition, and are being freely signed
by the people, begging the withhold
ingeof lioensse. The assurance has been
given,hy the authorities, that if it is the
desire of the people that no more license
shall be granted in the County. they
shall be satisfied. Many "old topers"
sign the petitions, thus showing that
they are anxious for Reform. After
March, we hope that farewell will be
hid to the "social glass" in old Roanoke.
Her three last Legislators were teeto
talers, and the present incenmbent is
also a teetotaler.
This has been an unusually mMwin
ter for Virginia. The 14th wras ike a
May-day. "Every bird seemed to smng
its sweetest song, and all niature was
alive. There has been but little snow
fell, and none very deep. Only two
spells ofcold enough to get ice to put up.
The ice then did not get ove~r three or
four inehes thick. The "weather pro
phet up in the mountains" says "this
will be a good crop year." We don't
like to depend upon him, as he is some
times a false prophet. He said we
*would have snow fifteen inches deep
and it dId not fall With these hastily
written lines, we close.
Yours very much.

Death of Wan. H. MeCaw.
It is with painful sorrow that we
make mention of the sad and sudden
death of theabove estimable gentlenian.
On the night of the 18th, while engaged
in writing for the News and Courier,
of which he recently became an editor.
his clothes in some way or other took
fire, snpposed to have happened through
the upsetting and explosion of a kero
sene lamp, and before assistance could
be rendered. in answer to his cries for
help, he was fatally burnt. He died
the next day after much suffering. It
was-but a short while ago that the press
of the State was ringing his praise and
congratulating the fraternity on again
having added to its number so fearless
a champion of liberty; butnow, instead
of the smile of welcome which greeted
him from all sides, tears of regret are
shed 'ver his grave. How fineeitain
are human.hopes and prospects! Mr.
McCaw was a native of Abbeville, and
about twenty-eight years of age. -He
had been editorially connected with the
Guardian, the Plursiz, the &uth Caro
linian, and at the time of his death was
on the staff of the News and Courier.
He wielded a graceful, vigorous and
fearless pen; he was among the first of
those who defended the right and niade
war against the wrong. His merit
was as great as his popularity, which
extended throughout the State, and his
amiability was as endearing to his
friends as his denunciation was terrible
to the enemies of his State. The. press
will miss him, the people will miss him,
"But we must all die, all leave ourselves!
it matters not where,when, nor howl so we
die well:
And can that man that does so need lamen
tation for him?"
The State Grange.
IThe State Grange met at Columbia,
in Parker's Hall, on the 18th inst. The
delegation was large, and the meeting
is'said to have been hmrmonions. As
the newspaper reporters, did not have
the privilege of aseat among them, of
course, niothing can be known of their
procedings but what they choose to
relate. It is stated that the subject of
imimirationwns discussed. The Gran
gers refuised to co-operate with.the Tax
payers' Convention ithe matter of im
migration, because they wished toavoid
the sihtest daniger of being charged
with political tendency. Though the
Taxpayers' Conre4tion plainly avowed
itself non-political, yet had the Grangers
associated with the Convention the ene
mies of the former would have manu
factured capital out of it.
They hare determined upon estab
lishing a central bureau of immii'ation
in the city of Columbia, and contributed
$1,000 for the estabhishn-etef a bureau
in Charleston under the supervision of
Maj. F. Melchers.
The following are some of the officers
of the State Grange:
Thomas Taylor, Worthy Master; D.
W. Aiken, Secretary; A. M. Alken,
Treasurer, and Dr. J. A. Barkcsdale,
Grnd Lecturer.
Brier Dt.
A ride on the rail down to the capitol one
day last week revealed the fact that some
folks do just as has been the custom for lo,
thse many years. An interesting-exhibition
was afforded in the ear of a young infant.
It seemed to be a new-comer-hadn't been
here more than a few danys, so smaln was ii
and so solferina-llke its complexion. It ap
peared to haves two mamnmas, and between
them the passengers (cared the extinction of
its little lifes, what with brushing the down
upon its tiny head, the kisses and various
other motherly manipulations bestowed upon
it. It bore everything like a lamb though.
Having two mamnmas we feared it bad no
dada, but after a lap-e, a pantalooned indi
vidual apped on the scene, who filed the
bill completely, by embracing one of the
lades and taking the infant. It maust hare
been a 6rst experience. Strange to say, aL.
thogh there were only a limited number of
passengers, not more thana half the cars' es
paty, every seat las taken up. This is the
travelers' usual cnsto'n. A t Frog Level we
notied. hanging at the depot an -egflgy of a
man, said to be intendecd to represent some
agent there who had made himself offensive.
In Colambia the streets were animated by
therowds in atten-lance on the meeting of
the Grange and the Tax Payers' Convention,
and some business seemed doing, but gen
erlly the complaint was thut the times wore
dull -and an apprehension felt in regard to
the ability of many to stand the financial
robles.
The different hotels, the Columbia, Wheel
er, Central, Hleadrix, Calentt, &c., wore do.
ig a thriving business, of the latter we were
glad to see that our old frieud, 8. B. Calent,
is making his housc quite popalar. He
keeps a good table, and has good rooms, and
is very attentive.
A t the State House in one of the priYate
ofieial rooms we saw seated at a table, twc
little colored boys, so small that their chinw
were on a level with the table, each spoiling
some letter paper, besidles injuring the pens,
with which they were making hieroglyphles,
but the pleasanttest feature was that each
of them had afiac eigagr in his ~month, froun
which graceful cleids ot smoke circled up.
This is one of the many ways in which the
people's money goes, and aceount&s for the
fact that the varians appropriadionas ftsJ
specifie purposes arc always exhausted when
demands are made upon the treasury.
The death of Mr. MCaw cast a gloom
oer the entire community in which he was
so well known and so much esteemed.
In noticing the hotels, omission was made
of the Jackson Hourse. This popular place
was also filled,avd the proprietor was untiring
in his efforts to please. For the benpcO 01
hi,~ ruests he has at treat exDen*e Rotten at
The Legislature.
The proceediga-Uithis I)ody during
ist week have been uninteresting
and of little pulic importance. A con
current resolution has passed botb
houses to adjourn sine die, on the 5th of
March. They are a tenacious set to be
snre. but wo are glad to know that
there is a prospect that in the course of
time thev will - return to the -bosom of
their famLilies. A resolution passed the
House to appoint a committee to pre
-Pare a-counter-memriantothat- of -the
Taxpayers' Convention to Congress,
but the Senate refused to concur.

It is estimated that in less than a
bentury the whole arable laud of the
United States will be taken up by ae
4val settlers. rt- is-more-hafnproba

The Union Times prints the tax re
ceipts for taxes upon eight hundred
acres of laHd near Jonesville, in that
county. They make the.following ex

Taxes on 800 acres of land, 188...... 63 0)
Taxes on 00 acres of land, 1873........ 117 80
Thus the taxes on one piece of pro
perty in Union county was increased
eight-fold during the first twoyears of
Radical rule.in this State, and fifteen
fold during the six years of its cor
rapt domination. The property on
which the above taxes were paid, has
not enhanced in value one dollar-in
fact.the buildings and fences, are not
as good as they were.in 1867.
The stream of immigration still con
tinues to flow in this direction. Al
most every week a considerable num

long in our town,.but generally after a
brief stay at the Cheatei Hotel, where
they are treated kidly, they proceed
to their homes on' the plantations of
the farmers with whom they blive con
tracted for the year. We are glad to
state that the immigrtMts are pleased
with our farmers and the farmers
pleased with the immigrants. The ex-.
peetations of bothi hae been fully met.
Let the good .work of immigration go
bravely on. . It will yet deliver and
save us from the hands, of our enemies.
