made wiiiiin the pu-t year, and therefore probat.ly
imt unheard in Union County, that the
denioeratie ndministrati311 of our State government
lias effected no reduction in out taxes.
Were the charge true, it could not thence be
argued thai the change of parlies ha I not heen
for 1 lie public welfare: for government and its

of revenue. An enumeration of the

Ami if the past five Legislatures have been so
culpable, whither may wc turn for relief ? For
no one can name better men than tho'C that
Cnioti nu I other Counties have electe.l to those
Legislatures.
lint the charge is nu* true ami the tax acts
show it. In making thi; examination, the
railroad subscription taxes will he omitted, as
they are not chargeable to ti e administration
of either Stale or Ceunty government. Wc
will take the last three years of radical administration,
and the la-t three of dciueratic. and

1.? We lull a touch of the earthquake
reported in your issue to-day as having oecnrre 1
tit Sumnierville yesterday morning. A lady
residing at ' The Harrows," a piuelund .-ettlemctit
about two miles from Oakley Depot, tells
me that this morning she was awake betwicn
four and five o cluck ami heard a rumbling
noise apparently from the s mthwest, ami 1.1; a
distinct shake. " The sides of tiie house vibrated
au l rattled,' was her expression. A
gentleman living in tlso same house, who occupies
a chamber on the .same tloor, gives thesa tie
account. Another gentleman in tt?e same lmutc,
sleeping on the second lloor, says that the shake
was aullleicnt to cause a brush hanging on the
wall of his chamber to sway back and for'li.
