W hat the Hon. R. B. Elliott said on

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.

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.

purpose of ascertaining tho exaot meth

cannot woll seo into tho process. Tho
occupant of tho pulpit appears to be
offering constantly increasing sums for
something. One oan not make out
whether it be for patronage or souls.

perfectly satisfied with the bargains they

some writers, might bo a face in unison

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'! Churches and Sunday Schools
are but a slow cure for this disjomin.itcd

An important caso, showing the bind

has just been decided at Anderson, S.
J C. We quote from tho Intelligencor of
[ tho 12th inst.: Tho State vs. Hiram
W. Majors, selling personal property ou
which a lion existed, without giving
notice to purchaser. This was the first
cssc of this nature that has come up,
and much interest was evinced. The
judge's charge to the jury was clear and
explicit ou the law point*, aud tho jury
found Mr. Majors guilty. Iu sentenc
ing, tho judge gave the reasons fur this
statute, why it was imido an indictable
offence, and tho necessity, and sentenced
the prisoner to pay a fine of fifty d l'.ars
