These are brief and imperfect sketches
j v?f the duti?? b?!on-?ii?g to the TovTBsbfp
Officers, created by the Act of tho Leg
I islaturo. We have prepared thoui with
the hope that such a synopsis would be
of assistance to those lately elected to
fill these offices. Tho duties and the
plan are both new and complicated, and
it will require time and a. gradual ac
quaintance with the Act for the thorough
understanding of the one ahd the suc
cessful operation of the other.

Mr. Editor :?In the returns of the
recent Township elections, I notico
among those from Goodbyes Ilole, my
name upon what is tcrtucu lue Uoioii
Ticket." If you mean by this, aa I sup
pose you must, merely a union of citi
zens of nil parties for the publie welfare,
I am perfectly satisfied and would say
nothing to hare it changed; but as
there may bo some doubt as to its true
signification, I must tresspass upon your
space in a short explanation in regard to
myself. I know that it is not a matter
any public importance, but as o private
citizen I would prefer uot to be mis
represented.
If any harmonizing party is to "be
raised in this State, I think tho term
"Conservative" by far the most accepta
ble. This however is a digressiou from
the subject.
To place tho matter referred to in it*
true light, I will simply chronicle the
proceedings of our nomination meeting.
On Saturday, June 12lh, pursuant to
public notice, tho citizens of the Town
ship, both v, Into and colored, assembled
at Fehlers Store. By request, Mr. J. H.
Felder took the chair, and in a very
clear and" appropriate speech, explain
ed the object of the meeting. Ho
thought that much good may arise from
tho new Township system, if properly
conducted, and therefore urged upon all
the importance of laying aside prejudice
und party spirit, and of .selecting tho best
men to office- lie dwelt with considera
ble earnestness upon the importance of
harmony and good feeling being cultiva
ted by all classes, aud begged his hearers
to remember that this was n matter
which concerned our home interests
alone, and he hoped that the idea of
party or politics would be entirely dis
missed from their minds. ?
For the purpose of carrying out these
views, and with tho express understand
ing that we acre gathered together as
citizens, free from all party restraints, if.
was moved that a committee of ten, com
posed of five white and five colored be
appointed to nominate officers for Qood
by's Township. The committee reported,
and among others, put in nomination Mr.
Keldcr's name and mine.
I ant sorry, however, to record here
that the colored people did not exhibit
that appreciatii.u of the example of com
promise and concession held forth to
thoui byj the white people oil this oc
casion, which T expected. They object
ed to several names on the regularly
nominated ticket, and informally substi
tuted others, known to be totally incom
petent. When remonstrated with about
this, their leaders indicated plainly that
they were instructed to have only so
many white men on the ticket, ns were
absolutely necessary to do all the busi
ness. Poor deluded creatures ! Can we
blame them for anything I hoy do. when
white men, who should be their instruc
tors, through a wicked love of gain, will
thus incite them to n spirit G opposition
aud foil}'.
You will sec by the above account
that no party was considered at all, and
so I wish it understood.
The fact is, I regnrd the existence of
party as a groat evil. It tends to destroy
freedom of thought and action among
individuals. Of course, liko many other
evils, it is among us, and when great is
sues arise, we arc almost obliged to take
sides, upon the principle, that of two
evils we must ehooso the least. When
such alternatives come to be decided I
shall as heretofore, endeavor to go on the
side of honesty aud intelligence. I re
gard that man though, who pins his
name to uny party, aud votes for it in
variably, merely because it is his party, as
having renounced his freedom and .self
respect.
I hope, Mr. Editor, that the pin us for
public education will soon go into opera
tion, so that, our colored peoplo may, in
time, become intelligent voters, and when
they go to the polls to vote for a candi
date, they will not ask, as they now do,
whether he is it lladical, but whether he
is the most competent morally and iutol
lecfcually. Resr>??*:?t fully.
STILUS R. MELLICH AMP.
Bbakciivu.t,e, S. C, June 24,
Ou the 14lh the election of officers of
this Township tame off. Tb# Demo
crats, a few days preceding tho election
day, nominated a ticket, and none of thorn
belbg present at the nominal ion, they
became indignant, and declared their
names should not be made fun of tri such
a manner Sensible men these. They
saw the inev it ableite: s of the defeat of a
Democratic ticket, and therefore th >wcd
more wisdom, by. refusing to run. than
the men did who made up tho ticket.
The llepubltcaos nominated their can
didates the Saturday before tho ?14th,
three white? and three colored. This
ticket waa carried through without a dis
senting vote.
The officers elected aro as follows:?
Burns D. Myers, Clerk; A. S. Dukes,
E. T. 11. Smoke and P. Berry, Select
men, George Baxter, Surveyor; Andrew
Pinckney, Constable.
TEA.?It is but a fews days since the
first consignment of tea was received iu
Cincinnati, and tho following from the
Gazette of that city will give an idea of
what our Western neighbors think of the
teas received from tho tintipodes via San
Francisco:
"The flavor of leas received by this
quick route when compared with those
by the six months' circuit of the Horn,
is as the Btiicll of new-mown hay is to
the lifeless odor of the baled hay of com
merce. The aroma of a cup of this
tea, which but a few weeks ago was
delicately scaled up by tawny bauds,
steeps the senses iu a kaleidoscopic vis
ion of the gorgCOUSnesS of the Flowery
Land, and makes one feel as if China
were our r ^xt d./ur neighbor, aud the
Chinaman a man aud a brother."
Use of LeM0N8.?Hall's Journal of
Health says: When persons are feverish
aud thirsty beyond what is natural,
indicated iu some cases by a metallic
taste iu tho mouth, especially after drink
ing water, or by a whitish appearance of
tho greater pait of the tongue, one of
the boot ?'coolers," internal or external,
is to take a lemou, cut off the top.
sprinkle over it some fine loaf sugar,
work it downward into the lemon with a
spoon, nud then suck it slowly squeezing
the lemon and adding more sugar as the
acidity increases from heiug brought up
from the lower pgiat^T tT~ - ??
Invalids with feverishncss may take
two or three lemons a day iu this man
tier, with a most marked benefit, mani
fested by a sense of coolness, com lin t
and iuvigoratiou. A lemon or two taken
thus at tea-time, as an entire substitute
for the ordinary "supper" ol summer,
would give many a man a comfortable
night's sleep, ami an awakening of rest
aud invigoration, with an appetite for
break fart, to which they are strangers1
who will have their cup of tea or supper
"relish" and '?cake" and berries or
peaches and cream.
The Tux Assessment.
We expected that fault would be found
with the action of the State Board of
Equalisation, but wc did not expect such
senseless statements as have appeared in
some of the country papers. Orange
burg and Marion counties seem to be
suffering most excruciatingly from the
action of the Board. Wc propose
stating a fow facts relative to the assess
ment and the law under which it was
made.
The property of the State, as returned
by the County Auditors, and equalized
by the County Hoards wore as follows:
Heal Property. $76,125,025.
Personal Property, 38,828,446.
Total, - 8114,053,171.
It is admitted, wc believe, by the
Charleston .Wir* that the property of the
State, if fairly assessed, should reach
8200,000,000. The State Hoard of
Equalization agreed with the .V? <rs, and
raised tho assessment of the Heal Prop
erty of the State 819,046,063, distribu
ting it among the various counties aft< r
a full consideration of the return made
by each county.
As a sample <W" the assessment made
iu the counties generally, take the
case of Orangeburg : Here is a county
right through the centre ot which runs
the Fdisto river, and which contains
some of the best lands in the State
And yet this county returned 12'.1,:H7
acres of arable land at a valuation of
$221,870?making an average of $171
100 per acre for the best lauds iu the
county. O'l the face of it this is an ab
surdity. The meadow and pasture lands
iu the same county are returned at an
average of 81.25 per acre, and the wood
lands at a average of 81 per acre. From
a letter in the AY/r* of May 18th, dated
Columbia, we take tbe following: "1
learn from an intelligent tanner that
Luids in tho upper portion of St. Mat
thews' Parish (Orangeburg county have
appreciated 3?'U per cc;;' in value since
1807, uud that owucr; dou't care to toll
even ou these terms." By reference to
a puuiphlot (Supplement No. 1,) of tho
Col ulster of Kmig'ra^?n for 1867
one may got sonic idea of I lie valuation
of lands in Omngeburg county at that
time. No. 50 from tho Commissioner's
Register is Mr. L. W. Dash, who offers
? twelve hundred acres, sixteen miles
from Orangeburg C. H., fur five dollars
per acre in cash, or five dollars and fifty
cents half cash, remainder in one year."
No. 59, Mrs. Susan Keitt, of Orange?
butg, offers "to lease for n term of five
or eight years, a plantation of 3,500
acres. 1,800 acres of which are cleared,
reserving oue hundred acres fur a home
stead, nt ten thousand dollars per year in
gold." No. 74, Mr. S. G.Jamison offers
500 acres, 300 cleared, three miles from
Ornngeburg C. II., at five thousand dol
lars." No. 75, L. A. Wright, of Bam
berg, offers "a lot of land ia Orangeburg
county, at ten dollars per acre, cut up to
suit purchasers, or nt six dollars per acre
cash for the whole, or eight dollars per
acre on time of oue or two years well
secured." We might quote farther, but
this suffice to show that if lands in
Orangeburg county have appreciated
33i per cent since 1807, and uo one
doubts that they have done so, then even
with the addition of 300 per cent by the
State Board, they arc still much below
their full value.
Now let us see how it is with Marion
County, which is suffering terribly at the
hands of "tho tools of the degraded and
disgraceful Bing at Columbia, which
calls itself the Government of South
Carolina." The best lands of M.nion
county, as returned by tlie County Audi
tor aud the County Board of Kqualixu
thion, averaged $3.27-100 per acre; its
meadow lands SI.08, and its wood lands
?1 .(?7 per acre.
From the pamphlet cited above we
take tho following: "No, 51, Mr. lt. B.
Bruddy, of Little Bock. Marion, offers
450 acres, including buildings, at ?5.000;
also G00 acres of unimproved land at
$~) per acre." These Inuds, of course,
comprise improved and unimproved,
?ood and bad lands. A still better way
id" getting nt the valuation of Marion
county will be to compare it with the
adjoining county of Dar'ington
The arable lands of Darlington county
were returned at an average of 66.83*100
per acre; meadow lands ?G, and wood
lands $4.38 100 per arrc. Surely no
other statement is needed to show that
the State Board did Marion no injustice
as compared with its neighbor. The
charge is made that the State Board act
ed without authority in raising the assess
ment. Tj?S? who make this charge, if
they believe what they Hay. are entirely
ignorant of the law. The State Board
has just as grave and responsible t duty
to perform in the assessment of property
as tho District Assessors have If the
latter neglect or fail from whatevercaUfO
to perform their duty, it is the duty of
the County Board to correct their errors.
M the County Bon d fails, then the
?State Hoard must act ; aud its action is
a legitimate part of the assessment, and
cannot be set aside or disobeyed. It
does not follow by any means that there
Ii s been in Marion or in any other
county a wholesale system of perjury;
but there certainly has boon great in
competency on the part of Assessors.
Nor dots it follow that the tax payer is
without a remedy; if there is in Marion
or Orangeburg counties a tax-payer whose
property has been put above its true
value, let him seud his statement to that
effort to tin1 State Auditor, and we have
no doubt that the remedy will bo ap
plied. But denunciation, coarse abuse,
absurd threats of non-payment of taxes,
? c arc equally certain will accomplish
nothing.
Another consideration we would urge
upon the people of South Carolina. The
State has a debt now of over mx millions.
If her taxable property is allowed to
remain at $115,000,000, what will be
the fate of her bomb' What security
will the bondholder fed, that with such
a basis for taxation she will be able to
meet her interest? If there has been
extravagance ou the part of the present
Stale govenment we have no defence to
offer, but it should be borne in mind that
one-fourth of the amount to be raised by
taxation is to be used in paying back
interest on the debt iucurrcd in building
the new State 1 louse;and another fourth
is for other pust due interest. The pre
sent administration is certainly not re
sponsible for that debt.
In conclusion, we simply say the State
Hoard "nave done what they deemed
right, and what we deem right. The
assessment of the Hoard will stand, and
the taxes levied in accordance with it
will bo collected.? S. C. lit publican.
