FAIRFIED HERALD WINNSHORO, S. C. Wednesday Morning, July 21, 1869. D)spv'eos, Williams & Co., Props Utter Degradation. To what a pass have we come 1 Bad any set of executive officers in nny State in the Union, attempted, be fore 1860, such an usurpation as the aissessmont and collection of $230,000, without warrant of law, and in the facc of a most positive prohibition, they would have trembled in fear of impeachment and expulsion from of. flee. The vengeance of any Liegisla. ture at all worthy of the name, would have tern them down from their be tiotted presumption, and humbled them to the dust. Bnt the plunder. ers now in office, treat the Legislature with the contempt it richly deserves. It is but so much clay in the hands of the potter, and they do not pretend to oonceal that they look upon it as such. Far fro'n fearing impeachment, Scott impudently ncknowlodges that the law prohibits a tax of over a million dollars. The law, however, he im plies, was a mistake. We nood i I, 230,000. We, therefore, contrary to the prohibition of the Legislature, h ivo coolly assessed it.. "Factious op. p-sition in the Courts," will do no good, lie continues, for I "will be cmpellodl to call the Legislature to gether," tell them about tie 230,000 they forbid being collected, a set of woolly-boadod dunderheads that they are, and get them to pass a law that it must be collected notwithstanding. Did insolence ever go beyond this I Can any Legislature fail to winch be ticath such an exhibition of the scorn of its own creatures ? Do they gnietly accept such utter degradation ? Lot. them, if they choose. But let our people try the courts, to divide the republican party for the future, if for no other purpiose, We tire told, however, that we are, for the flrst time living under "a truly republican form of government." Yes, and we propopse to reoimbor that, for the sake of show, we have been left.the power to vote. We are, therefore, a minority that cannot al ways be trifled with, and which will, one day, wreak summary vengeance, by sotting tip and supporting one snake, to bite off the head of another, "which, if not victory, is at least re venge." Remember the past, and look, thon, to the future. Remember the in fluence which overthrew Mackey-not that, it hated Sawyer less, but Alackey more. Such in flucuices, when the ntex( strugglo for stealago comes, will be stronger than before, and like a fly in the pot of ointment, will cause the whole of it to stink.

Some have supposed that, from the amount of their extortions, they were contemn pltiting a credit business and the giv ing us a little iinme. But they ovi dien tly mean cash, aind immendit/y, aiid it is a source of merriment to ourselves, wh'lo can't be hurt uchol by a tax upon propeaty of any sort, (fot they stole all of our property, and lefi us dheep in dhebt, "long, long ago") tc see, that the barest faced impudence and hectoring bullying upon the re cords of American history seem. about to cow aitd intimidate a once free people itito abject submission. Our wonder is, why did not they assesi $2,000,000, whetn about it, and ."al, low" a million, instead of $230,000, "FOR DEFAUILTF.n 1" Weo are aston. ished, when woe think upon it, at Boott's mnodoetion. We take back our threats WE WVILL voTE FOR HINt FORl THlE U. 8. SENATE. Folly Spreading, 'deas, undoubtedly, rule the world, but, just as undoubtedly, take oven centuries of time to prevail. All civ ilhzed ommiunities were astonished, the other day, after ages of argument1 at the vote of over or.o fourth of the members of thme Spanish Cortes against religious toleration, a principle which comm~nends itself clearly to every con sideration of hiumatnity and reason. Still furthrr are mankind fromu the equailly humane and reasonable prin ciple of political toleration. There mauy be thlose in Fairfield, for In mit~neo, wuhio would willingly spit in the taco of the edit.or ftisua0eo were it not (bat there oelstsj:a glittot. s ing little peaco-making eylInder thAt I puts the weak mpn, en'lrtrag, I upon an equality with the trong. It j is not principle, that is to say, but E coward ice, that would restrain them. i It was of one of such men that an Un- f ele of ours, when drawing up for a v client, an inoffensive cltizen, a petition E to court, then in session, to have him v bound over to keep the peace, made a i mortal enemy for life, but one who, t nevertheless, carefully kept out of his t way, by making his client pray "for protection, not from the bravery or F courage of - , but from his un- t principled and dangerous cowardice." There is, in short, a large part of I every generation of mankind, who are 1 influenced to action, not by ideas or I principles, but by narrow-minded pro- L vincial or party catch-words and war- t cries, and by personal whims, crotoh- f ots and prejudices, and who regard N an earnest idea, because new to them- 1 solves, or coming from a certain quar- r ter, as a visionary hobby, or as an un heard of folly, impracticable in the extreme. Yet such ideas prevail and I bear fruit notwithstanding. We have been struck with these reflctons, upon reading, that in Jef- i forson County, Arkansas, at the very t first meeting of some of its citizens to < form an immigration society, "two hundred and thirty.soven bales of cot ton were immediately subscribed to wards the objoot.'' Ahom! thought we, so iLho visionary hobbyism of the editor of the NEws and hERALD is spreading. There are hobby-riders i elsewhere, who believe, as we do, that the business must commence by "joint contributions," and who are not de. 1 torred from action by indigent apathy and povorty-striken indifference and I despair ; who antually believe in the < power of money to hire hirelings, and < to purchase what can be bought. They have not waited for Newborry, for example, to crook her finger, that Fairfield might jump, but have "flung away their money"independently and i at once. Ah ! it is a great pity ; the world is becoming a set of hobby-ri ders in Arkansas. But there is com fort in oven the sevcrest dispensations of Providence. This permission of evil yonder, is intended perhaps for I our consolation here. We have com. < pany at last, though at a great dis tanco. No longer do we feel ourseves i a solitary curiosity, like a sparrow i upon the housetop of Winnsboro, nor I like a pelican in the wilderness of < Fairfield. Despite the hasty conclu- I sion of nur citizens that we can do i nothing jst ime, the world moves, i elsewhuere, folly is spreading and it is E natural for one hobby-rider to re- j joico, when ho hears of the folly of 1 others. if the expeted lettors and < news from Newherry, do net develop 1 the fact that hobbyismi has been at work over there also, as well as in Arkansas, our joy at sympathy will be moderated, but cannot be destroyed. We now wait andi live in liope of comn pany~ nearer home. Our hobby cavorts. Flyit sproading and will pread slowl'y, i ay bo, but suey eare happy. Tfhree cheers for Arkansas! The Virginia lection. We regard tho triumph of the Con. bervativos in Virginia as the nucleus about which future parties, with their antagonisms, for several years to come, will develop themslvs. There arc, indeed, no parties now in Amerioa, the triumph of the Radicals having for awhile destroye 1 all party organizations. The issue on which thay triumphed, the issue of the war and the characer of reconstruction has been settled. It Is past. It is dead. And now the genius of the Southuern white man for government, his eminently practical turn of mind, has come to light once more, in this Virginia election, in a perfect blame of glory. In the Southoe white race is the best hope of the national govern-I ment. They have THE OREAT ADVAN TAO?.

If those sufmagans who have hither. to virtually flung away their votes, would give up the foolish motto, "Aut C'aesar, Cut nihil," upon which they have all along been acting, and would borrow a motto from the Bible ; viz: "Lot every man do according to hsis sereralabilitiy," and spreading it to the breeze, would concentrate their efforts upon encour aging, developing, and even positive. ly creating conservatism within the Republican party itself, they would undoubtedly meet with the most mark. ed succe'. Even before the next election, their Influence would show itself in the debates and votes of the next session of tbe Legislature.

I agroe, Sir, ith every word written by the Mio tile Tribune, but I assert that it. has o tearing whatever on thn subject. I is useless to argue for or against a ;overnment by mixed races. That is dead issue for the present. The imple fact is, that our government is /rcady such a govern ment, and the irmi nediato question is, can we do any. hing to moderate its evils ? Can we ixerolso any influenc. upon .it for Pood ? True statesmanship, while it ,ats its glance to the future, ever leals with the present, and urges each nan, not to be "like dumb, driven attlc," but to "act in the l'ving pres. nt, be a hero in the s'rife.'' We nay, with reason, hope for blessed hanges in the ftiure, (and a strong nind is ever hopeful) but ean wo do iot.hing to hnssen those ehanges now ?

EdJior : For a set of young men to be brought uip with it constantly being ling-donged into their ears, that there is no prospeet of their taking any of. rective part in their own government, that they are under the heel of an un principled and ignorant majority, wielded against them by. still more unprinoipled leaders can end but in two resulta ; either: In the high spirit ad and anmbitious leaving the State, or in their romaiiing here always dlwarfod, and frequently degraded. Because an element d iflcult to deal with has been forced upon our politi sal arena, there are those who counsel sullen inactivity, and a trust In thn ruture based upon such hopes as the lying out of the negroes, and white imamigration, andi a change in federal poli'ti.'

I havb to make to any simple snear without argument, from those who do not realize the necessity to which the bayonet has rednced them. Sir, the White minority must com bine with republican conservatives,; without regard to color, and in the combination, give up cheerfully, for th e present, their party name ; or the nummber of useless offices will continue to increase ; the taxation will ad vance ; white immigration be driven oiT ; laborers become more unruly and rearce ; property be more and more depreciated ; the spirit of our young men be broken ; their cnnrgies dwarf ed and degraded ; misgovernment %ap our prosperity ; and gradual decay jread tie pall of despair and ruin over every commendable enterprise : whilo we, like idiots, stand upon the bank of the stream of adverse circum stance, waiting for it to run dry, in i! cad of plunging in and boldly strug gling to the other side, which can, in [lood, be reached, but reached in no other way. The ball.t never will be taken, in. our generation, from our former slaves. Shall we always re iso to don4iliate their votes? No. it is tolly any longer to do so, is the immediate and self-evident reply of COMMON SiENSe. Mr1). NdWitor : In my last article, your typo made ie say. that in our sable class there was a sufficionoy of brain and muscle for agricultural purposes. Now, it should have read, brawn instead of brain~-that there was a sufliciency of brawn and muscle. EX, in one of his art icles, seems to think that it is doubtful if the white oman oan be induced to cultivate the lands of another in this country as an hireling; and in this, 1 am inclined to think ho is correct, and believe, wherever it is tried, it will result ini dissatisfaction and disappointment to all concerned. I here refer to the employment of an hireling, where the work performed isi on a cotton planta tion, and is exacted from January to January. That condition of things which ren ders this necessity for the white man to become a hireling has not yet been reached in this country, nor is it de sirable at this time. But I believe the time has arrived, and an urgent necessity exist, to make the effort to get the immigrant here, either as an honest punctual paying tenant, or as an honorable eilicient corpartner, un til by his industry he has accumulat ed the means whereby to become the purchaser and proprietor of his own farm. Here, Mr. Editor, many may say, that they neither want the one, nor will they have the other. Let such pause for a while and view the present state of affairs. The way things are drifting 1 awn inclined to think, un less a change can ho effected, so as to correct the false ideas and notions that are now progressively filling the heads of those who have, or are the muscle requirerl to carry on planta tion operations, the former will be forced upon us, and I am satisfied that four-fifths of the acres in Fairfield now under cultivation, are worked under the partnership system. Where parties make an agricultural venture, the one supplying capital and material and the other muscle and Ia. her, and egree to share the lesaes and pronits of thme venture upon an agreed scale of division, they must be copart ners, and nothing else. Now the ques tion arises, if the one (tenantinmg) may, from the very existing stato of affairs, be forced upon us, and the other is already practiced, would it not he hetter, wiser, to make strenuous ef forts to fill their places with the white immigrant, who will be a white citi. sen 1 Mr. Editor, I read "Traveler" in the NEWs of the 0th, and am satisfied that he has permitted himself to fall into error, when he asseirts "that the holder of large tracts of land are un willing to sell.". To prove his asser tioh, he'-says that a friend of his tried to buy threse aeres of eld ' field upon which to build asmall house, and the owner asked ent.-iae dars per acre. le does not ita where that '-old field" was; perhapa it was in the corporate limits of the Boro, if so, seventy-five dollars was not too much. Locality and the surroundings, have a good deal to do, in fixing the value of even "old fields." Three acres of old field near the growing end of-the city of New York is now sell. ing for one thousand dollars per acre, and a waste lot even now, in Columbia or Charleston does command a high prico. And the one hundred acres, unfenced, uncleared land, alluded to by "Traveler" may be in or is near suburbs of Winnsboro; if so, ten dol lars per acre, is not too high a price to abk for it. Perhaps the occupation of the person who tried purobasc, clay have led him into error. I touch upon this as it may orente an erro neous opinion, as to the willingness of the holders of large tracts of land to sell. A holder of a large tract of land may be perfectly willing to sell a portion of hia land at a saorafice or a reduced price to an immigrant to in. duce him to settle here, and thereby increase the roll of white citizens, but would he unwilling to soll, except for u/ ralue, to a person who is well to do, or who wishes to speculate, and is already here by fixture and interest. MORE ANON. The Chi ese Movement---The Other Side of the Question. Now, while Meniplis is holding pub. lie meetings inviting Chinese labor to th, South, the following protest against the further iniportation of ,hese people into California, published by the Anti Coolie Associat on. is of special inter et : There are atbonti 110,000 Chinese in California, 100,000 of whom are in a state of peonage or slavery, and are rented out by the compatv owning theni to the various parties by whom they are emoloyed, in gangs of from 50 to 5000. as they may be rezpired-their wages beming paid to the agent of the compalny, who is responsible for the performance of their labor, and for the return of the slaves, dead or alive, in the Celestial Ei'mpire. The bulk of the h-male portion of them are scattered hiroughout our towns and cities, de. moralzing our vouth and laying the loundationt of future disease anid sorrow to an unlimited extent. The importa. tion of these slaves has already led to Scenes of conflict on our wha'rves, be tween the rival companies owning them, and threatens to assume gigantic propor tions. The employment of these slaves displaces a like portion of uhito labor, and more particularly of the rising gene. ra ion.0 There are itt San Francisco about 18,000 to 20,000 boys and girl, of from ten to. twenty y ears of aig, the majority of whom brought up in idle ties-, as there is no emnlovment for them, and no opportuntity for their learn. ing trades, as all the inirior work in our mills, factories, store, workshops, &c, that is elsewhere done by appren tiees, is here done by Chinese labor. The consequence is, that our boys are but preparing for the State Prison, and a. vast iiumbe.t of our tirls must, alas I sink to the lowest depths of degrada. tion By the general emrployment. of this slave labor itn every branich of industry, immigration of deservmng white people from lho E ust and Europe is retarde~d, and w ill ultimately cease, while many now here must leave. \Ve may in stance the cigar makers, five hundred of whonm, with their famnilies, who were earning good wages, and investing and spendmng them here to the advantage of the counitry, were compelled two years ago to retire before the Chinese labor and leave the State. In this connec ttoon it is a noticeable fact, that theo mn trodntet ion of chenap labor hans not cheap. ene~d the price of a blanket, a cigar, or any other article of home mannfacture, one single ccent to the consumer. The employmient of Chinese labor on the Cenitral Pacific Railroad may have expedited its completion a few months, but we contend that the injury dono our State can never be balanced by the gain in time. Had white labor 'been employedl, hundredsa of acres would even now have been reclaimed from thes wast's and become the homesteads of happy families, who would have ptm. chased the land and increased the reve. tneo of the railroad comnpany, and also of the entire State, while the mioney paid to Chinese labor has been drained out of the country for export to Asia, and on the retirement, of the Chinese slaves from their field of labor not a' vestige of improvement will remain-. not, even a bone of them will be. left, in the soil. For twvelve months an epidemic has been raging in our midst, which for a long time banfled the skill of our medical men and the sanitary re btlations of onr city ; and this smallpox or black plague, is generally attributed to the Chinese. From the density of their population and their pectuliar mode of living, they are subject to many diseases almost unknown among the Caucasian race, to which we are rendered peculiarly liable by the irodnction- of' Chiinese into our hotels, restaurants ane private dwellings as cookrs, washers and domestic ser vante, i lias been objected to our associa tion that it is an Irish, ornesado against cheap labor ; but on the contrary, we embody in our own ranks all classes creeds and polhtical parties, imbued not with hostilhty to the Chinese as a race, but fully believing that all the vast re sources of California can be fully devel oped, and, her railroads, canal*, and other public works, carn be as well and profitably completed by free white labor as they have been in the Eastern States, and that the future greatness of Califor nia . depends more upon the general prosperity of her industrial classes, than upon the vast accumnlations of a afew capitalists.
