"Ytu may imagine the chagrin with which I make this statement Truth alono compels it. My eyes sea it?all toy senses testify to tho sttrtling aud sad fact. I can never bo indifferent to any t hing which touches the fair fame ol tho great national party to vhich all my deeper convictions nttach me, and I repel ' the libel which the party bear ing that name in this State is daily pouring upon us. . I urn a 11 -publican by habit, by conviction, by association ; but my Republicanism is not, I trust, composed of oqual pa ts of ignorance and rapacity, i Suoh is the plain statement of the condition oi the dominant party of out State/'. W hat the Hon. R. B. Elliott said on the l6th day of February 1871 : Congressman R. B. Elliott, who is now in Columbia, mado a speebh in that oity on Monday night, which is note worthy an ouo of the signs of the times. He told htu hearers that tho Taxpayers' Convention was no assemblage of sore heads, but that it was seeking to do the work which it Was the duty of the Republican party to lmvo accomplished. He rasped the State Administration I without mercy for its violation of its I most solemn pledges,, and,.washed his hands of -nil participation in its bad fcith. The wuratibn of "T*be Party," he deolarod, depended upon its Instant, reform of existing abuse*.' A great change was taking place in the polities of the country, and it was useless for them to shut their eyes to the fact. 12 you go to tho'North, ho said, and men. tion the namo of South Carolina, you will fiud tbe estimate that the/ will put upon, it there. To mention South Carolina is to merit the sneers of the Commonwealths of the North. Wbeu corruption was spoken of in other Stales, It was a different thing j but when it was spoken of in South Carolina, it was lui<l to the/ blame of a'negro govern ment. It was, therefore, the duty of the colnrod poople of South Carolina to demonstrate to the world' that they desirod an honest government.-? (Jhar leston^Ncws & Courier. What the Hon. W. D. Porter said, in the Tax Payers Convention, on the 17th day of Fobruary 1874. Not only ha?o the promises given and the pledges made boon utterly and shamefully broken, but the career of corruption, of prodigal expenditure and excessive taxation- has gone forward with accelerated momentum, till it has driven us te the utmost limit, of tolera tion. The property-holding and tax paying people are nut ouly in distress but iu dispair. They s-.-e iu the future nothing but ruin or revolution. Their government has become a sword instead of a shield, und threatens the very vit als of the body politic. This is not republicanism, according to all received ideas of civil freedom and civil govern ment?it is despotism, plain, naked, ruinous despotism. Reduce (be Assessment**! K^w< Sil ? ' |^/ Tho present assessments of taxable property in this State remain of force for four more years, except in special instances where a reduction is made by tho Comptroller General. That the people of the Stute will continue to pay taxes on the present exhorbitaut valua tion of their property is simply out of the question. In common honesty we insist that the assessments bo reduced to the basis iuteuded by tbe Constitu lion, which declares that "Tho General Assembly shall jn-oridc by law for a uniform and equal rate of assessment and taxation, and shall prescribe such regulations as small secuue a just valuation of all proporty." This*is tho language oi our .Republi can Constitution and as Republicans we -i J/' ;-- ' 'itl?e*ol CW n?i't> nn.f" of the whole people that its require ments be obeyed. I But so long as the statute law remains as it is, just so long ;s this section of the Constitution a dead lettor. The duty of the Genoral Assembly under the section iu question is plain? there is no possible room for misunder standing. And in the appeal which they will soan ag?n make to their constituents 'they will he judgod not ouly by what' they have done, but also by what they have not done. Let tho present assessment be at once Titrated by tbe General Assembly, and let that body provide by law for an assessment of property according to its market v arue. [COM MUSIC AT. D.] To Stockholders of O ran gebar g Agricultural and Mechanical Association. OnANOEnuno, S. C. Feb. 14, 1874. The Board of Directors nine months ago, took charge of the affairs of this Company, having the Fair grounds pur chased, and to bo paid for, and buildings to be erected. After much deliberation, a sito was chosen for the main building, and a plan, prepared by Mr. Lucas, was adopted, which, by close estimate, was within our means, and at the same time was that of a building large enough to meet our present requirements ior space. The experience of our first fair showed that it was just barely equal to our re quirements lor exhibition, as it was com pletely filled. Owing to the difficulties in the carrying out of contruets, by tho default of contractors in material and vrork, the erection was somewhat re tarded, and in tho scarcity of workmen, tho cost was somewhat enhanced, in order to be ready for the fair of 1873 ; but by urgent efforts, wo were able to hold that fair at the appointed time. Tho Corner Stone of tbe Fair Build ing was laid with appropriate Masonio I ceremonies under the direction of Dint. Depy. Grand Master J. F. Izlar, and I Shibboleth Lodge No. 28 of that anci ent order, which was an occasion of much interest, and there was a large attendance from all parts of tho County. In tho midst of tho work, tho contrac tor retired, and tbe Board was under the necessity on tbe omergenoy of mak iog the best bargain possible, to com plete tho buildieg in time, and in pro per style. This was effected at an in crease of about 9300, on the original estimate, which was unavoidable under the eiroumstances. For this oause, and from other circumstances, especially the desire of the directors to p ut tho eutire groaode under a proper feaeo, and to lay out proper rondo aud courses for the trial of stock, it was deemed proper to cull tho Stockholders together for the purpose of voting on an increase of stock. This was. done, and tho stook increased to 300 Shares. Tho direc tors have addressed the various granges and agricultural Societies in the County, soliciting subscriptions ofstook; but in only a few instances has there been any response from them. Owing to the financial panic, it has boon diffi cult to obtain subscribers for the stook, and some of the original Shareholders havo failed to pay iu full their subsorip tions. Tho result is that the diroctors have been ' unable to carry out several desired improvements, whioh would add to tho value of tho property, and enhance its capacity for profit to the Association. The Association has also been compelled to remain in debt to the amount of_5109(> while there is now owing to it from its shareholders the sum of $500. If tbe additional stock were all taken up, and the same paid, there would be no difficulty in carrying out the pro jected improvements. Tho last Fair, in such hard times, realized a profit of over $200 above expenses, and parts of tke building are now rented at $185, for the present year, and there is a ohancc for other rental. In an ordinary season, a fair will pay a profit of $506 to $700, and rentals, say $200, will make a good dividend on $7500, and besides, the property is growing iu value every year. In order to meet the liabilities of the association, and to raise means for further improving the grounds, the diroctors havo laid out a Street across the eastern part of the Fair (Jrounds and divided the portion across said Street iuto building lots, which they think will sell for a sufficient sum to raalizo this object. The portion out olf is not all essential to tho grounds, and is eligible for building purposes. The btrcot has . been offered to tho Town Council conditionally, aud a plat of the lots as laid off has been prepared. The number of shares of stock taken and paid in/full, is 182. The number ol shares taken aud only partially paid is 18. Total innres subscribed, 211. ^The^ijjpc^jurer's rcp ?rt is ahm sub tiuu of the Association W. F. BARTON, President.

But mothers and t istern, mark the sequel. Tho next day a good assortment (by which is meant a company not as sorted) of the little boys of Orangoburg, was observed in a olustor, intently en gaged in reinacting the pulpit soono of the yesterday. A littlo boy man, who evidently has yet a Sunday school faoe (and his sisters, if he have one, judg ing from his, according .to the theory of some writers, might bo a face in unison ftith the countenanoe of angels) had bis fingers interlined with old Confede rate bills, and was bidding for the myste rous patronage of the little ring of em I bryo men. It was an off shoot of the previous perform a occ. Fathers failing, oannot mothers and sisters influence tho Council enough to check this growing ovil'!
