SATURDAY, MAY 6,1??L Meeting on Sales day last?Dele gates to the tax Convent ion. arge number of the citizens of tho couuty met at the Court House on Mon day last. Upon motion Dr. W. F. Bar ton was colled to the chair, and Capt. John A. Hamilton chosen Secretary.< The Chairman stated the object of the meeting to be, to elect two delegates to rcprcsnt the people of this county in tho Convention to be held at Columbia on^ Tuesday, May 9th. Upon motion, the chair appointed a Committee of five to nominate delegates to the Convention. The following Com mittee waB announced. Cor,. Paul S. Fei.dku. Col. D. J. Romph. Col. Goodwyn. Malcolm T. Browning Esq Du. Thomas H. Zimmerman. During the retirement of tho Com mittee the meeting was addressed by Dr. A. D. Goodwyn.

The report of tho Committee was adopted, and urgently requested to at tend the Convention. ?? Dr. Goodwyn, and Col.

Sheridan, upon the taxes, the meeting adjourned. J [communicated ] ? Mr. Editor ? 11 Cacoctiics scribendi, seems to be Uli epidemic, at this time, not only in this country, but throughout the State. Every one feels an irresti bl.* impulse to write something on the situation. Some cd'the victims of this disease, have been gentlemen of great ability, and their papers have been thoughtful and able. Most of them have suggested no practical remedy for the trouble, no preventive to the im pending bankruptcy, ruin, and strife. Alterations ol the constitution of the State, giving only a qualified suffrage* a minority representation of the white tax payers ; a tribuneship. and such as these, have been proposed as remedies for the evil. I ounot see that any of these are attainable. The great evil is the high taxation. The tax is high because extorted by a class that pays it without having a voice as to its imposition. Tht remedy of giving this tax-paying class a represen tation, at once suggests itself to the con templator of the situation. But is this at tainable ? It must be procured as n freo gift from the party in power; and would i.? ?? .,..(-.,. n f r.trtnti - nffftft . - - . - ? ? - - ? r ? ?" - r ? rations of government and a relinquish tne.it of an advantage, to which the ma jority is clearly entitled, and of tvhich they have made too great and profitable a use to voluntarily resign it. This rem edy then connot be obtained. The ques tion then is what can? The idea that the white tax-payers of this State groan under that constitution al wrong, "taxation without representa tion," is erroneous. They arc represen ted by the delegates chosen at an elec tion whore they vote. To attempt the attainment of this mi nority representation, would be to strive for a new remedy not authorized by the great constitutional iaw of this republic. Its attainment, even were this possible, would bo creative of disorder, and ,;con fusion worse confounded would ensue." Assenting then, as the mind must, that all of these remedies thnt suggest themselves, arc in tho first place to be obtainod as a free gift from tho majority to tho minority in derogation of their own constitutional right, and in the second place are at completo variance with the fundamental principles of our government, truly wc arc at a loss what to propose. - I - ? ? ?? I - III ? 1 111 - ? ?? So groat a difficulty has suggested.so many remedies and resulted In this uni versal "desire to write," and so great is the difficulty that none of the remedies proposed are available, aud noes of these writers have solved' tho question. And jret something most be done. This tax ation, so high, and thus imposed, cer tainly is tantamount to gradual confisca tion. "Who are getting richer but the tax gathering party? Who are getting jpoorcr, but the tax payers ? Tho same property, whose loss impoverishes the ono is, by its acquisition, through this pro cess of tax, enriching the other. Is this to be submitted to ? By the natu ral operation of tfils system, if submit ted to, tho property will in tho end, have all changed bauds And it will have worked out its own rcmc ly ; the tax gatherers, that is, the property holders will be the tax payers. Tho tax payers will be the majority, nud the difficulty will bo solved. ? Now this is just tho remedy ! The tax payers must have the majority to vote with them. And this is to bo done by conciliation of the voters who aro not getting rich by our taxes, and by emi gration. Thcso art tho only menus by which this is to be attained, and this is the only remedy. Is it then politic or wise to propose plans of limiting colored suffrage, when the colored race is to grwitit? Is it scusiblc to propose a change in tho con stitution, when that change is to injure the party who is asked to make it ? So great. Mr. Ktffcor, is the difficulty of this question, that, all of the writers having failed tr suggest any solution, tho people of thc^tState arc about to meet in Convention in Columbia, on T?csday next, to consider it aud en deavor to solve it. I would uot appeai- to dictate to the delegates from our County to that Con vention. But I say that unless a reso lution is adopted that will relieve the burden upon our people, let us have no resolutions at all. Never mind any in vestigation of corruption, extravagance, dishonesty, on the*, part of the State officials, never mind.any further revela tions. The party admits there arc cor rupt men iu power. The Convention meets to consider tho quest ion of the tax. Can the people be relieved '! If there is 1 relief for them, permanent and secure. ' it should be resolves to obtain it peace fully if possible, b|lt to obtain it at ail hazards. Pcrhapjjfcc manly, outspoken seqtimeqts Q^y^-r J^tlijll.' stripped of their property, to maintain an extravagant and corrupt government, will carry an influence, and operate as a cheek upon their grievances. Perhaps some abatement of the tax, some com promise can be effected whi-h will re lieve the impoverished people. Let the Convention s'.ickle at no fair compromise nor let it hesitate at any fear, if reliuf can be had. This is its business Will that Convention consider the j question right, and will they succeed in its solution '.' Remember that Convention meets in obedience to the call of the Charleston mercantile aud financial men. whose re solution.' have been endorsed by most of the State press. Their resolutions re commended and even announced the re pudiation of the State bonds. Many of the State papers recommend a refusal of and resistance to the tax. Should the Convention resolve to refuse to pay the tax, the issue will have come. Either the tax payers will be relieved and the State government unable to continue; or the bayonet will enforce the collection of the tax. ? A suggestion has boon made public and it has come from the tax gathering party, to repudiate the State debt which is of course the reason of a heavy bur den id* taxation. Whether any such compromise will be effected, or whether the real issue of further payment of the tax or opeu and forcible resistance is to arise, we must await the action of the Convention to know. t ...vii,t>i-.,iii!f,i i,n (bo order lb? day let the State government, nt least, con sent to allow time for the payment of the tax of next fall. Yes ! let the Con vention demand six months ^before the penalty for non-pajment is enforced. This will accomplish something. But let us have no aimless resolutions nor useless investigations. Lot the Con vention resolve upon a plan of relief for our crushed people, whether that plan be carried out by concession or by force ! The people of the State arc ready, anx ious to endorse and carry out any reso lution that will accomplish this tnd. And they expect a plan to be adopted, which, whether it will prove successful or not, will secure unison in the effort. These, Mr. Editor, arc hasty expres sions of my viewi upon the situation und the great question about to be dis cussed by the people of the State. Let us rcsolvo upon a demand for some relief, immediate and certain, and not discuss change! in the constitutional law of the State, or a new plan of suf frage. 1 indulge the hope that some re "liof may be obtained by the action of the Convention. Yours respectfully, MALCOLM I. BROWNING, ? ?? imm ???? __JL? ? ? k' ??.?? ii wi?tWn(irwii H?ttnoN TowNsiur, j Fork of th* Edistos, May 1 s|, 1871. Mr. Editor?I wonder if "MinorityY''!. as lie signs himself, though I don't think he knows the meaning of tho word," to judgo by his article, ever read the story of "Littlo Breeches or a Piko County view of special Providence ?" I don't think he has, and hence write it out for his benefit. Here it is? I don't go much on religion, I never nin't had no show ; But I've got a middling tight grip, 8ir, On tho handful o'thingH I know. 1 don't pan out on the prophets And free will nnd that ?ort of thing? Out I believe in God ami tho Angel, Ever since one night last spring. I come into town with some turnip*, And my little Qabo come nlong? No four year old in the County Could beat him for?prctty and strong. I'oart and chippvr and missy. Always ready to swear nnd fight ? And I'd Inrnt him to ohaw terbneker, Just to keep his milk-teeth white. The snow oame down like a blanket As I passed by Tnggnrts store; I went in for n jug of molasses And left the team at the door. They scared nt something and started? I heard one little squall, And hell-to-spiit over the pino woods Went team, Little Breeches and ull. Hell-to-split. over the pine-woods ! I was almost fr?re with skecr ; But we rousted up some tenbes, And searched for Vm far and near, A' luM we struck horses and wagon, Snowed under n soft white mound, L'psot. dead beat?but of little Gabe No hide nor hair was found. And here all hope poured on me, Of my fellow-critters' aid I just flopped down on my marrow bones, Crotch-deep in the snow, and prayed. * # * * * By this the torches was played out, And nie nnd Israel 1'arr Went ofT for some wood to a sheep-fo'.d That he said was somewliar thar. We found it nt last, and a little shed Where tney shut up the lambs at night, We lcokcd in, and seen them huddled thar, So Wat tn an 1 sleepy and white. And lUor snt Little Breeches und chirped As peart as ever y in see? '?I want n chaw of terbneker And that's what's thr* matter of me." How did he g't thar? Angels. Ho could never have walked in that storm They just scooped down an I toted him To what* it was safe and wai m. And I think thut saving a little child, And bringing him*to liii* nun, . Is a durnud !-ight bitter busiucss Than loafing around The Throne! Now, Mr. Editor, I thought "Minori ty" had got some of the spots washed off of hin-, even in "Calico Branch," and had retired, and that Cleansing a young man's churaetcr (I don't want to lay much stress,) Is a dinned sight better business s Thun writ in' slang for the Press. This is all I have to say this week, to "Minority," Mr. Editor. Some of these days I may feel inclined to "mud dy Calico Brunch'' for tho fi>h that's in it; until then od ins "Minority." Now as to the 4? CONVENTION, I must say. Mr. Editor, that the meeting held this day to appoint dele gates to a Stnte Convention, aad the result of that nieetiug, does not meet my views. Gentlemen of undnubt-, ed integrity have been appointed delc ' gates?but 1 give it for what it U worth, that it requires something tempered with integrity to meet the wants of the peo ple and the issues of the day. I heard it was suggested to the Committee to ap point one Republican as a delegate?it was not done. If the same feeling ex isted in the other Counties, not a llepub lican will be represented in the Conven tion. 1 did not so understand the call ing of this Convention. I thought it was to represent the people irrespective of party. 1 run sorry to find that I was mistaken. And though no prophet, nor the son of -i prophet. I predict for the Convention a signal failure, if this one sidod fcoling is allowed to prevail within its body. I am a llepublican, Mr. Edi tor, nnd am willing to go as far as any man in defence ol South Carolina and her dearest rights. Havo fought and struggled through a five years' war for I her independence ; and am ready for another five years' fight, but it must be a light for freed un. entire freedom, fron dishonesty, misrule and anarchy, and sanctioned by the whole peoplo of my beloved State, the poor as well as the rich ; not for the purpose of simply rein stating old regimes, Ac. Oh no! This matter must be handled by conservative men to accomplish desired results. No Radical Democrat, or Radical Republi can ought to be heard nor give counsel. It "Is a delicate matter, and concerns oven tho babe at the breast. Open resistance to the laws?even bad nnd selfish laws?until all peaceable means fail and arc scoffed ut, cannot meet the sanction of a whole peo ple. As I havo looked forward to tho as sembling of this Convention as some thing to accomplish great and good things for South Carolina, I earnestly deprecate its becoming a patty movement. And in this I know I utter, the senti ments, of a great many true and good Ben, Next week I will give my friends in the Fork a little more light on the situa tion from my stand point. LEO IN THE FORK. P. S.?There is, however, Mr. Editor, ooe fact connected with this Convention which almost reconciles me, and that is, there will be no carpet-baggers tluirl L. I. T. F.

When Hannibal had passed from the earth, and had mouldered tor centuries in his mother dust, and at a time when the mortal remains of the great leader might have been b.ilmccdby the most trivial weight, the satirist, with melan choly pertinence uses the language of the above caption us uu illustration of the vanity of huuiati importance, since its inevitable ultimatum is nothingness This terse expression of the morose phi losopher, is the embodiment of all the homilies that have ever been written con cerning the folly nf ambition, thj trans itory nature of power, and the ineffa ble barrenness of worldly renown, in that their votaries how much-socver they tuny flourish for a time, fall at last, returning earth to earth and dust to dust sharing with the lowliest of their kind, the chilly companionship nf the sod. So much by way of prelude. Now can it justly be termed a strained paral lei, if carpet-bag Republicanism, the great leader in South Carolina, be li. kened to those to whom the sententious comment of Juvenal is applied? The arbiters of political moruls, are pointing to the outrages done in the name, of Republicanism, and in tones whoso portent is unmistakable have said, "thou art weighed, in the balime and found wanting." Evcu t:' their cour.-c is uot yet finished, these things indica ted thctt the crack of their doom is ap proaching and that they must booh fol low the trail of their predecessors in re nown. Verily, ko it seems. The feast has been long, and has ri vailed BekthiiBXar'a in pleasure anil plen ty, but the omiunuH finger is scribblin on the wall.

The vile bugs which have tumbled the filth und reveled in the scss pools of the State Government for so longa lime, can no Linger live, wheu the foul and stilling atmosphere which gnvo them existence, has passed away. They must ?;o?a journey or a funeral. May their ashes boon be weighed. And now Mr. Editor of the News, bold 01 to your course. Prove yourself and those you represent, true in your professions, and the day will soo 1 dawn. Clear out the vile roost tbat have made Republicanism iu South Carolina a dis grace to civilization. Purge ic of lho jumble of thieves, devils and nonde scripts who have brought such an odium upon it., that one who even tolerates it, is considered to proclaim himself a scoundrel. Vtlltans have made it odi ous ; honesty vi 11 make it respectable. Once this is done, to be a Republican, will cease to duiuu one to an ostracism from honcsj men Southern Republi canism has cloaked rascality, and has been a certificate of infamy long enough. Burnout the rats. Every honest man whatever his creed or color will rally with you, when he sees a hope of re deeming the State. Be enjoiucd again, to hold on to your course. It is right. Let down your sliding keel and defy both wind and wave. The gods will favor you. Expend? Aniabulem, and weigh him often. D0RM1ENS. PINE (jUOVE ACADEMY.
