Lieutennut-Govenior Hausier.
?
We bad tho plousuro of inci ting this
faithful aud honest Republican iu Char
leston the other day. Conferred with
'''<' '." ' '??'(
him'upon tho situation. It was ex
tremely gratifying to us to hoar him
utter n solem npprobutiou or tho courso
taken by tho Ouanoeburg News.
Governor Eansier is now contributing to
the Daily llcpttblican a series of articles
upou the situation. They certainly re-'
fleet a deep interest, felt by Mr. Hau
sier, for tho country in general. We
will ooimnciicc tho publication of them
soon.
The Columbia Uuion is edited by L.
0. Carpenter. It is a Republican paper
i ?so is the Orangeuuru Nkws. But
despite this fact; despite the oommunity
?f obavitablc foeliug that should exist
between all journalists ;'despite the truth
that wo have done moro for the Repub
lica party (in our county) than the
Union oditor ; despito that sentiment of
honorablo fooling that should, aud has
always mcved tho breasts of those con
nected with the press, towards each
other ; despito tho impulse that actuates
fair and honorablo controversies, es
pecially between men of our craft, yes !
despito r all these, the editor of that
panpr, in an unfair, unjust and un
warranted :nanuer pit che.-? into us. And for
what? Because, forsooth, wo aro against
#t high taxes, andthc men who have couie
here to rob us; because, in other words,wo
have tho tnanlLess, when we see anything
wrong in tho Republican party, to say
so, and further, put tho teal of our con
demnation upon it; because wo cuuuct,
L__jirid_wiil not sauctiua dishonesty, corrup
tion and'fraud ; bcoauso wo weep with
those of our people who weep on account
of an cuomious taxation ; because wc
aro Republican aud honest; because wc
cannot utter an unqualified approbation
of all the doings of some Republicans,
tho Univn forgets all fairness, aud
flings deadly missiles at us. But wo
aro unterriSed. The fling at us falls
harmless upon our shoulders. Gods !
how mistaken., that editor is.
TllE Union goes deeper into malignity.
It says if the taxes aro high, it is a fault
of tho editor of this paper, because we
are Chairman of the Board of County
Commissioner*. In our charity wc can
forbear faying what we might with pro
priety assert. Let the Union know,
however, that wc had not yet been cotn
niissioncd when the Board of Equaliza
tion for this County met. The equaliza
tion (?) had been muds, and the Audi
tor's books almost completed when wc
took our scat. Had we been installed at
(the time, the taxes of Orangeburg
County would not havo been so high,
that is, if hid- voice could have had any
What our Contemporary says about the
County Commissioners, wo will answer
by asking its editor to read tho present
ment of the last Grand Jury, of this
County. The Union ought to be particular.
It doesn't know that there are no
charges agaiust tho New Board, there
fore its mistake And when "tho grave
charges" and tho "astounding develop
ments/' of which that paper speaks are
established, and laid opon to the public
gaeo, wo will then have something to
soy to the editor of tho Union. 'Till
then wc leaVo tho matter. We leave it
for the next Grand Jury to pouder; wc
leave it for honorablo gontlcmon to givo
us that vixlioafioi) which our contcmpo
t f .: j ... ;i ... , ;<v..n>? hnnfA^lotf',
All we have to say is this: That we
would QOI publish anything defamitory
of a brut I,or journalist, no matter how
desirous so to do, without first satisfying
ourselves of its authenticity.
?-??????>- ?_
The Columbia Cm'on says:
"The grvest charges have ugou madu
Bguinst the County Coni*uissionera of
Orungeburg, aud astouuding develop
ments are expected. If there has bceu
any swindling there, we hope those en
gaged in it will bo ferreted out and puu
irihed to the fullest extent of tho law.'
, Can the lrnion comprehend us when we
say that we have adopted every measure
[ possible to discover ifnny <;swindliug"
has been going on ? As soon as* tho "de
velopments expected" ore made, our con
temporary shall know it.
"YYe opine, however, it will then
change its tuue. We call upon tho pub
lic to watch it.
Taxes.
rII euro n Township,
Fork of the Edhstos,
April 10th, 1871.
Mr. Editor?It has been some time
siucc I havo troubled you with a line ;
but, sir, if 1 was one of the seven sleep
ers, or inhabited tho inner caverns of the
earth, the heart-rending cries of my
^ouutrymcu would arouse tue, and when
I ar.i aroused, I must talk, aud when I
'talk, I talk plain', and u?y talk now will
bo about that outrageous imposition, the
taxes. Our generous Geueral Asctnbly
say that they passed the Act to collect
tho tax fur 1871, in the lull of 1871, be
cause tho pooplo are better provided at
that time to pay taxes than at any othes*
time of the yesr. S?n.n few may have
been hoodwinked ; but, Mr. Editor, the
leaders, (the carpet bag element of the
Legislature,) work for no such cousllc
ratiou. Thcv arc trcuibliug iu their
shoes; for they staud on their soufs.
They know that tho Legislature that will
meet December 1872, will meet without
them. The Halls that have rung with
their eloquence ^?) for so long, will thus
ring no more, forever. Alas! bow sad
the thought to all true Carcliniaus! Yot
wo oan spare them; we muet spare
them ! Their sufferings in a future
State will be so great, that I, at least,
am willing to allow them to retire to the
mountains of i!ipsiduui, State of Msuxiu
chusctts, to await there their awful
doom. 91 can imagine, Mr. Editor, that
I seo the old D?1 with that Saint.
Whittemore, suspended on his three
pronged pitch fork, at tho head of a
host .of arch-fiends, who each havo a
carpet-bagger's carcas, suspended, and all
on thoir tramp to h'll. So mote it be, anienj
But I have digressed. These fellows know
ing that they will be ousted in 1872, ol
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 havo only collected the taxes
for 1870 and 1871?but by collecting
the tax for '71, in the fall of 71, their
financiers, Parker & Co., v ould havo a
lick at the taxes collected for '72. Do
i
you catch tho idea, Mr Editor?" Cute
aint it. But I havo heard that all
yankctp aro good at cute tricks, and
that they never hare a hole in the bot
tom of their pockets. I dcubt if tho
fe.r deludqd coin field colored Carolina
gcntlomou who represent us at the scat
of Government, buw the wick. Now,
Mr. Editor, let ub fight tho devil with
his own clement. These suck egg dogs
want our money?well, wo havo a use
for nil we have aud alt wo uau ge*, *o
lets keep it. Don't let a man, a singlo
tax-payer pay a dollars tax in Orange
butg County this fall, and, we have them
on tho hip. Resolve to buck and
gag the Sheriff, the Treasurer, or any
and every other man who offers to make
a levy on a singlo thing for taxes, a id
send them over to rne, here in tho fork,
I'll tako care of them. I'll hide them !
And that man who makes a purchase, j
to furnish means to satisfy a tux execu
tion?let's resolve th?t fdle.it requiems
shall be sung in lonely places. I mean
what I Bay, Mr. Editor, und stand rea
dy to hoad the list of those who will
determine never to pay another tax,
until Carolina is wiped.
Justico ! Jostico 1 By the Gods : let's
have justice. This is all I have to say
Nfoxt week jpdVhftps, you will hear

told tho reason they like slippers is, be
cause- they wear the heol of thoir foot in
tho place whero we havo tho hollow, and

cause its folds cover tho pockets, and you
Can't see how Muffed they are with the

Boildd and Scrambled Eaas.
During the winter of lSt>9 a drummer,
visiting WilHmngton, North Carolina,
stopped at one of tho first class hotels.
At the breakfast table he gave ag ela
borate order to the waiter and uieluded
in it "two soft-boiled eggs."
Sambo went off tq to the kitchen, hut
soon returned, aud asked :
"Mass Ross, did you want dem eggs
scrambled V
"No," said the drummer, "I want
thctu eoft-boilcd."
"All right, sar," and off ho trotted
again.'
In a few moments he loomed in again,
and remarked, in a most persuasive tone:
"Mass Bos I, you butter have dem
eggs seminbled "
"What do you mean ?" roared Harry.
"Well," said Sambo, ?Mass Boss, fII
tell you ; dem eggs ain't very fresh, aud
they'll look hotter scrambled'."

Til!'. FUTURE PROSPERITY OF Tire
SOUTH.?There can be no doubt that it
would contribute greatly t'p the future pros
perity of this section of the Union if many
amongst us would turn their energies and
capital in now chnnuels of enterprise and
business. The old roads arc clear, but they
are worn ?"d crowded. Blaze a new p.itli
through the woods for yourself, young man.
and you will arrive at the goal of success
ahead uf your competitors. A striking ex
ample^ of the value of this [pre; pt is found
in the case of Mr P. P. lL\\o, of Charles
ton, S. C., a plain mechanic, who has made
himself the head of a large manufactory of
doors, sashes and blinds. '
