THE ORANGEBGRG NEWS JJ. FELDER MEYERS-Editou. GKOttUi; HOOVER, rniAXciAi. ami Bubixkrs Man.vokh SATURDAY, APftlL1.*,, 1871. Lieuteimiit-Govoi nor Kansicr. Wo had the pleasure of meeting this faithful and honest Republican iu Char leston the othor day. 'Conferred with him* upon the situation. It was ex tremely gratifying to us to hoar him uttor a solen? approbation or' the course taken by tho Oranuedurg News. Governor Ransier is uow contributing to tho Daily Republican a series of articles upou the situation. They certaiuly re flect a deep interest, felt by Mr. Hau sier, for tho country in geucrul. We will commence tho publication of them soon. Thk Columbia Union is edited by L. * C. Carpenter. It is a Republican paper * ?so is the Orangkuurci News. But despite this fact; despite thu eoiuuiuuiiy of charitablo feeling that should exist betweeu nil journalists ; despite tho truth that wo have done moro for the Repub lica party (in our county) than tho Union oditor; despite that sentiment of honorable feeling that should, and has always moved the breasts of thoso con nected with the press, towards each other; despite the impulse that actuates fair and honorablo controvercic. es pecially between men of our craft, yes ! despito^all these, the editor of that paner, in an unfair, unjust and un warranted manner pit ohesinto us. And for what? Because, forsooth, wo arc against (fc high taxes, and*thc men who have come here to rob us; because, in other words,wo have tho manli..css, when we sec anything wrong in tho Republican party, to say so, aud further, put the seal of our con * demnation upou it ; because we caunot, ..jaffcl will not sanction dishonesty, corrup tion and'fraud ; bcoauso wo weep with those of our people who weep on account of an cuormous tax at inn ; because wo aro Republican aud honest; because we cannot utter au unqualified approbation of all the doings of some Republicans, tho ?7tt'u)? forgets all fairness, aud flings deadly missiles at us. But wo aro unterrified. The fling at us falls harmless upon our shoulders. Gods ! how mistaken that editor is. The Union goes deeper into malignity. It says if the taxes are high, it is a fault of the editor of this piper, because we aro Chairman of the Hoard of County Commissioner*. In cur charity we can forbear saying what wc might with pro priety assert. Let the Union know, however, that we had not yut been com missioned when the Hoard of Equaliza tion for this County wet. The equaliza tion (?) had been made?, aud the Audi tor's books almost completed whoh wc took our seat. Had wo been installed at tho time, the taxes of Orangeburg County would not have been so high, that is, if pur. voice could lave had any effect. What our contemporary says about tho County Commissioners, wo will answer by asking its editor to read the present ment of the last Grand Jury, of this County. Tho Union ought to be particular. It doesn't know that there are ?io charges aguiust tho New Board, there fore its mistake- And when "tho grave charges" aud tho "astounding develop ments," of which that paper speaks are established, and laid opon to the public gW5, wo will then have something to say to tho editor of tho Union. 'Till then we leave tho matter. We lenvo it for tho next Grand Jury to ponder; wc leave it for honorablo gentlemen to give us that vndiontion which our cotitcmpo ?.,.., r f ? ...'.???.??? - . ]?) i-| r?fr>' ?<5' in, All we have to say is this : That we Would pol publik anything dofamitory of a brother journalist, uo mat tor how desirous to to do, without first satisfying ourselves of its authenticity. The Columbia Cuion says: ''The grvcat charges have been made aguiust tho County Conuohvdoncra of Orangeburg, aud astouudiog develop ments are expected. If there has been any swindling there, we hope those en gaged in it will bo ferreted out and pun ishod to tho fullest extent of tho law.' Can the Uuion comprehend uswheuvre say that wo have adopted every measure possi bio to discover if any "swindling" has been going on ? As soon oj tho "de velopments expoctcd" ate made, our con temporary shall know it. W,e opino, howover, it will then change its tuuo. We call upon tho pub lic to watch it. Taxes. rHebron Township, fouk of the edist08, April 10th, 1871. Mr. Editor?It has bceu some time siucc I have troubled you with a line ; but, sir, if I was one of tho seven sleep ers, or inhabited the inner caverns of tho | earth, the heart-rending erics of my ^ouutrymen would arouse me, and when I am aroused, I must talk, aud %\hcu I talky I talk plain, and my tulk uow will bo about that outrageous imposition, the tuxes. Our generous General A-scmbly say that they passed the Act io collect the tax fur 1S71, in the lull of 1871, be cause the people are bettor provided at that time to pay taxes thun at any othet? time of the year. Somo few may have been hoodwinked ; but, Mr. Editor, the leaders, (the carpet bag element of the Legislature,) work for no 6ueh conside ration. They arc trembling in their shoes; for they stand on their sou't. They know that the Legislature that will meet December 1S72, will meet without them. Tho Halls that have rung with their eloquence i^?) lor so long, will thus ring no more, forever. Alas! bow s.id the thought to all true Carolinians! Yet wo can Bparc them; we must spare them ! Thoir sufferings in a future State will be bo great, thut I, at least, am willing to allow thorn to retire to tin mountains of Epsidum, State of Massa chusetts, to await there their awful doom, f 1 can imagine, Mr. Editor, that I seo the old D?1 with that Saiut, W bitte more, suspended on his thrce prunged pitch fork, at tho head of a host .of arch-Gcnds, who each have a carpet-bagger'scareaSjSuspeuded, and all on their trampto h'll. /So?no/citbc,amcn^ But I have digressed. These follows know ing that they will bo ousted in 1872, of course", wanted to get a hold of as much of tho peoples money as possible, belore that event took place. As the law stood, they could have only collected the taxes for 1870 and 1S71?but by collecting tho tax for '71, in the fall of '71, their financiers, Parker & Co., v ould havo a lick at the taxes collected for '72. Do you catch the idea, Mr Editor?" Cute aint it. But I have heard that ali yankecs arc good at cute tricks, and that they never have a ludo in the bot tom of their pockets. I dcubt if tho fe.r deludcjd coin field colored Carolina gcntlemau who ropresent us at the 6cat of Government, saw the trick. Now, Mr. Editor, let us light tho devil with his own clement. These Buck egg dogs want ?u: money well, wn havo a use fbr all we have aud all wo can get, so lets keco it. Don't let a man, a single tax-payer pay a dollars tax in Ovatigo buTg Couuty this fall, und, we have them on tho hip. Resolve to buck aud gag the Sheriff, tho Treasurer, or any and every other mau who offers to make a levy on a single thing for taxes, a id seud them over to me, here in the fork, I'll take care of them. I'll hide them! And that man who makes a purchase, to furnish means to satisfy a tax execu tion?let's resolve that silent requiems shall be sung in lonely places. I mean what 1 poy, Mr. Editor, aud stand rea dy to head the list of those who will determine never to pay another tax, until Carolina is wiped. Justico! Justice! By the Gods: let's have justico. This is all I have to sny No ; k perhaps, you will hoar LEO IN THE l OUK. 1?. S.?I see you have wt-kc up a lust Mr. Editov?your leader in your last issue?>ica* a stuuncr. Give them fits. Theycnu stand double-rectified doses -?these Blippered and gowned carpet bag gers. Folks tell tno just as soon aS they get on office, they invest their lastshin plas ter in slippers and gowns. I havo been told tho roason they liko slippers is, be cause they wear the heel of their foot in the placo whero wc havo the hollow, and I can imagine that the gown is liked be cause its folds cover tho pockets, and you Can't sco how stuffed they aro with the people's money. is. r. t. f.

During the winter of 1809 a drummer, visiting Willi nington, North Carolina, stopped at one of the fir>t class hotel;. At the breakfast table he gave ag ela borate order to the waiter and Included iu it ''two soft-boiled eggs." Sambo went off to to the kitchen, but soon returned, aud asked : "Mass Doss, did you waut dem cgg3 scrambled V "No," said the drummer, "I want them soft-boiled." "All right, sar," and off" he trotted again.' In a few moments he loomed fn again, and remarked, in a most persuasive tone: "Mass Bosi, you better have dem eggs scrambled."
