The Tax-Payers Before Pres dent Grant. We publish below the address oi Hon. W. D. Porter, Chairman of the Tax-Payers Committee to wait on the President and to memorialize Con .giess; also the President's brief reply MR. PRESIDENT.-We are dele gates from the Taxpayers Convention of South^ (arolina, and are charged with a mission to the authorities at WMigfon, id lay before thei a gre Tublic grievance uDder which our peo pliare lahorinr; -nd to invoke tl svmpathy and aid of the Federal Gov mient to affori us the reliei whih we :ave not been able to procure for -uoseives. . We kn'ow the power, nior al and political, of this government. ad believe that it can, if it will, re dress our grievance. .It is difficult in the few minutes that we feel at liberty to trespass upon your time to make an adequate pre sentation of the pitiable cudition in which South Carolina is placed. To give you any conception of it, it is .ne eessarv to state her condition at the close >f the war. No one know. bet t'er than yourself, Mr. President, the exhaustive irocesses of the war upon our-State. Her people, with a sincere beief that the enterprise in which they embarked involved their domes tic peace and safety, and with an un calculating devotion to their cause. Saked their all upon the issue, and lost their all. The single act of eman eipation se out of existence one huudred aind twenty-five millions of their property value. Their nioieys, their bills, their securities. State and lederal. perished on their haids. They had lands, without labor or mon ey to hire l:bor; they had houses or eab'us. but without provisions to smtis fy the hungry eravings of men, wo men and children. If eyer there was a people upon whom the hand of taxa tion should have been laid lightly and rently, it was the people of South Carolina at the end of the war. If ever there was a people whose condi tion was a protest and . remonstrance against the heartless and grinding ex -actions of the tax gatherer it was that stricken peiple. The reconstruction waqsares iplaced South Carolina in an anomalous pus tion. It doubled her citizeuship and her suffrage. We . a not here to ask ny change or modification in this re spect. Wie kuow that this matter has been placed upon the basis of the fundamental law by constitutional ame1lndnents; and that, whether wise or unwise, we can expect no alteration of it. But there are some incidents and rniults growing out of the reconstrue tion policy. which are curious as well as vital iu' their operation, and to the practical effects of which we itivit yoor attention, with a view to sotme relief. This doubling of our citizenship and suffra!Ze has divided the State mnto two classes or stratas, the one proper. tholding and taxpaying, and the oither non-ta xpaving and non.property. holding. And in the non-properZy holdin and inou-taxpayinlg class re sides the abs-olute political power of the State, including the great sover. eien: power of taxation ; and this class is'ba:nded toget.her as a iixed politie:d] majority, which refuses any aubst.an. tial reure.es ttion to the taxpaying miort'. h practical result i; then taxes do not pay the taxes; those who pay the taxes have no voice in hLxing~ the amount of. t hemi; and the taxes so raised are e.xpouded, not by those who pay them but by thocse who feel r>-:ly no pert of the bnrden of themi. We ~doubt whether such a t-onditioni of things has ever before exi.sted in un's ..overnmen't which called itself a: frce'reprteintativye governroent. WIith, our knowledge of the entire Ameriean feeling on tle subject of taxation and its exercise, we think it n:ay he truly said that no free State ot the North would subwit to such ai condition of thai,as either theoretically or practical Ic-:for the practic:d results are ire. e~isely such as iiht have been anneci 1ated. T1huse who do not pay the taxes care not how heavily they lay themW on , and the more heavily they lay themi on. the more mneyn they~ h:.ve to expand. in point of fact there is noI cheek, no limnitationi, no responsibillity such as exists where the re prsentatives ft.el thias .hey owe :in :,e.un'tability to a taxpaying constitu* .y*'. All.w us. Mlr. President. wr 'p a few facts which will serve to give some idea of tihe cendition in which we are placed. Our taxable values befor~e the war were near 8500:, It(-i.tI00 ; they are noGw reduced t& <i 50.mi.000 or $1:0(.000.000. 1.'p(n tha1t 55 UIA)(tfliI b,efore the war was ra&ised for the ordinary current ex (.use ofovermne(nlt, the .sumn of ..bout $4tt0.0J00; but upoin the redued~ v:dues of $150,000,000 there is now r:ii-ed the annual SUmL of over $2.000. (01). (Ci.sidering~ the loss and depre ei ationi of property, the reduced abiIi ty of the people to pay. and the falst .and ex:,eg.erated assessments made. the 1.eoti'u h,et ween the tax now raised ,and that raised before the war would be s nt.-n o t wenty to ine. W\.hen the impoiverishied conditin of ith. mass a.f the people is takena it cosdrain with what a feazrfu weight of ioppression do these burden, tall' upon them. It is no wonder 'then, that in one year 2GS,000 aeree of land were forfeited to the State to non-pa-,w nent of taxes, and tha:t in the single 'Countt y of Bafrt some eight L,undred out~of the 2,500 fairmis Mao hv the United States to tile colloret cw'pl'e h,ave also been forfeited for th, M:le cause. So. too', the funded debt ofj tic SLite has been inlcreasedl frou ablout six ailions to an admitted fiu ite of sixieiln millions, wiah an unde tin:ed win: of floating debt and un o-lkuowiedgedJ bonds. To state th, e-.se in a few words, it may be sail that our p,resenlt rulers have alread) utterly d!estroyed the credit of thi State ly the excessive issue of bonids p,'rtly legithuate and partly fraudulent and arc 'new engaged in devouangzt thle ,.ubainee of thet people by the grnd a. <xacti(.nls of tax:Uionl. .'i.5Presiet, this~ is no faise el"l m:or, or picture of the imuagin.aion.

It Inatter: little to us whether the administratior be Republican or Demoeratic, sr, tha it insure us an economical, honest gov ernent, such as our condition impera tivelv requires.
