The 8tato Bank Bills. Mr. Editou :?The Board of County Commissioners deserves and is receiving the Conimend it ions of the faithful creditors and loyal taxpayers of the County, for refusing to pay the claims of those who have bought from speculators, or, more correctly speaking, from Dank Buzzards, bills of the old Bank of the fc?tnte, and tendered them for county taxes, at least until other creditors liavo been paid. Indeed it seems to be tlio height of impudence foi one who has .speculated in this way upon the other tax-payers and creditors of the county, to presume to ask the Commissioneis to put liiin on a footing with those who have paid their tuxes in current funds. After an extra tax for the purpose of paying olf the past indebtedness of the county lias been levied, it is mortifying to all who feel iiu interest in the welfare of the County and who desire to sec her credit once mere restored, to find the realization of their hopes frustrated by the spoliations of sonic of our* own citizens, who, so to speak, have pocketed their patriotism and traded off that plank of the Democratic platform pledging the party to Free Schools, lew taxes, honesty, retrenchment and reform. They i possibly may have imagined that it was necessaH>r riicm to neconio ?i .. that llioy might hereafter furnish a practical illustration of what is intended by the term reform. The question whether or not the Court will require the County Treasurer to receive these bills for County taxes is a legai one, and has nothing to do with the purposes of this article: for, admitting the legality of the tender, it furnishes no justification to those who have purchased these bills in order to use them in payment of County taxes. Won Omne Uritum h .iirs tun. Those who happened to have them on ban 1 at the close id' the war. or have in any way paid full value fur tlieni, may be excused for tendering tlicm for taxes, an l if the purchased bills had been tendorv I simply for State taxes, there would be no special cause for complaint, for tin 11 the burden of the deficiency would be borne l>v the State. livery dollar tendered for County taxes is to that extent compelling Union County to pay more than her share of ttic State debt. The following argument has been it-ed as an excuse for tendering State bills for county tax es^ to wit: That the Supreme Court of the United States has docbl^d thai they are receivable for <i>l taxes levied byShe State, and as the Legislature has failed to ? . a provision for their payment, satisfm . ^ the holders c^tbe bills, which it should hav? dome, ergo, if*'is legitimate and proper for the citizens of Union County to a?>ist 'Jabney Morgan & Co., or any other Carpet buggers, (who-have, during radical rule in South Carolina, as Tim Hurley would probably fay, been taking advantage if circumstances,) in realizing a4 much as possible orfj their bills, by hringi northern into this <\>u1!8F? with a l';?h knowle Ige iVdwefact an leiijmD , thus dcluying"7f'?*,*,*t -o by r tfc. - .e provision M'or the paymen^^fche^^UI I that it did for all other Moating indchtc Ine-s | the Stal^-i-that is, it provided thut they migl i be funded in State bonds, at the rate of lift ; cents in the dollar, which, no doubt, would an 'J ply have 4>ai t those who have been selling th I bills : y ! tivre :u v hectnning ashamed of then | by the' w'n S!,.v ''1U.V w?>'e iniluciuc .. .... , bills.

' for county taxes, yet claim thai as some ol tli - intl|UCi'tial an 1 large taxpayers tendered tueni hey Slight us well c/ "e ,or a share Of th spoils. This, uhi^^ 100 pot^nk a" argumcn 1 witlistmitl. We arc pjoiic t |sh"hpe dor con tuct hy the examples ol out ' neiglwtrs. 'J'lit^ipshot of the whole matter is, there will he a ilelicicncy in School, llailroad, and or.iina j ry County taxes ol' litis County, which will l.av< j to he provided for hy a levy of an extra tax in this County next year, unless we can obtain relict from the !Si*te. ami for ^liis we will have ti .depend upotfthe inllnenco of our delegation, whom we may safely rely upon, unless, how ever, | some of them have also tendered Slate bills. In conclusion, if the views herein expressed do not meet with popular fayo?, then it would be well to call a Taxpayers' Convention, between this and the next collection of taxes, in order rti V' to make arrangements to supply all the taxpayers, little and big," with State It.ink hills. Then taxpaviiig will he a profitable business, for the more we pay the more wc will make.
