The first and uost pressing griev anco of the peoplo is the inordinat< taxation h which they are subjected It cannot be expected that the Con vontion will reduce thb tgx ; bdt i may be able to sdure, diiectly or in directly, an extension bf the time al lowed for payment, end even IL re mission of the penalty impose-d 6 those who are in arrears. But th tax of 1874 is not the only tax tha the people will have to pay. 'Th very fact that it is too late to proven the imposition 0f the present tai and may be too lato to prevent its col loction, is a sound and potent renso why steps lould be taken to preven a like calamity in the years to come This immedite prepnration fo future danger, instead of sleepin soundly until knavish hands are ii;ai in the publio coffers, is certain) something practical. 2. The Convention can, and n doubt will, issuo an address to th American people, and present a me morial to Congress. Whatever Com mittee may he entrusted with th plain unvarnished tory of our wrong should be prepared to knock at th1 doors of the Nationail Capitol unti these are opened to them. The ad dress and memorial -wll at lensl strengthen public opinion in our favo they may do much more, as will here after be shown. For years little o uo confidence was 'reposed in th statements of Southern Conservativ( but the car of tho -North is gainct an1d the truith prevails at last. An vith American publio opinion uitr t4ervedly onj their side, the honei Carolinianls can makce successful an proper action they may take agnius the I ng. 3. The Conlvention can profitabl take into consideration the conduiii of the Radiea!s in issuing six millioi of fraudulent bonds ; their efl'rontor *itn-repudiating those bonds, withou attempting to ht Id to account the ad vnturers who unlawfully issue them ; their impudent attempt to cot -fiscato one-half of the capital aum the bonds and stocks they declare t be legal, which-neforions transactio they hold up to admiratidh as "a r4 duction of the debt," which refleot credit upon their party. 4. And the next blow to be dedi cred is at the thieves thelselvej The evidence neoded to conviet the: is on the record. The Conventio can find men who are bold enough, a well is sagacious enough, to conduc the prosecution, and sufiloient mono can io had to pay the costs of cour When one the leaders is on the roa, to the penitentiary, the petty vi lains, will save their own hides b turning upon their quondam cont pamtotns. 6. The Convention ought, also, t present to Cotngresf thte facts connecl ed with the electiotn of John J. Pai torson to the United States -Senat' Buch a presetntet will give any it dlependent senator like Gordonc GeorgIa, Thurman of Qhio, or Schuri -of Missouri, an opportunity of de mandoing an -investigation, which cat not be denied, and the result of an full and impartial inquiry will be th ignominious expulsion of the subti Pennsylvaniae. 6. The Convention will also consih or the important question of organii mig, t brough its delegationP, leaigue of taxpayers in every county, whmic leaguos can be made the active pr< mnoters of immigration, as well as th means of giving the people unity atn strength in whatever may now< hereafter be undertaken for the goc of thte State. a The subijects for deliberation whic at this time, we have barely skotohe out, are all practical and any one ti em, wisely and vigorously den with, will encourAge the people, an ii demoralizing the Rlings, conduce t the restoration, in South Carolim~ of purity and frugality in the cot duet of publio an'ait-s. But the valu of the Cotnvention will be determine by the character of the delegate We, therefore, beg the taxpayoi everywhere to be careful to soe energetio and liberal minded oitizeni whose audaoity in carryitng (out 't1 determniinations of the Convontic will equal their wisdom in counc and their constant prudence befoi the tirmo for Action has begun. Tht sulswers the seconmd question which many persons ask. We have shown, tihen, that the co1 venition can do something "pract eal," and we have suggested tI moans to be taken t or maikinig tht body what the groaning masses moe desir.--KNets and Courier. Generaul Spinner is in favor of' ti passage of a law wvhich shall provid for thte speedy redemption of natioi al bank notes in legal-tender notes.

Conuty Conventi n of the Granges. \We learn that at the last meeting of Winn.sboro (raige, a resolution was adopted calling on each of the s ranges in the Conty to seed three e delegatoi to a Con vontidn of Griangds to bei held in Winsboro on the see ond Monday in March. We presume 3 this invitation will be fcepted,'and .I we trust that the attendance will be t full. - WOe of the fundamental ideas *o' the order of the Patrons of 1lus bandry is combiuatio and coopera 'tion. The oruer was organized for t the purpose of abolishing -tile indi u viduality dtf fa'ridrs, 'hd nucking L them coipolnent- parts of a thorough ly di.ciplined body. The life df the i farmer naturally causes him to aot t independently. Heis not-in a situa tion to judge reaTily of the benefits r necruing from concerted kotion. He Iever for a moment'stops to "conslder y what crops are needed, and whit p-o ducts will be a drug in the naarket. 3 To inculcato these ideas th'o Grangse. 3 have been formed, 'In these, by the intercourse of members and the a attrition of minds, new truths are s evolved, and old errors are ex ploded. It is evident therefore the more wide. spread the intercourse, the greater the bieefit resolting. r Separate Granges are'but indivi - dualized neigh borhoods, each probi-b r ly chorishiNg its own theories. Those neighborhoods Inust be brought into communion. This is what the'Coun d ty Convention proposes to do. As' matters now stand, etuh Grange it OIL anindependent footing, having notlr. ing more to do with other County U ranges than if they were gituated y in Sahara or Kamsobatka. ilhis is t not cooperation, and as l6ng as this state of things lastb-the Grangos will. bear no frult. The system, to succeed, must be L perfected. Every farmer should join his neighborhood Grange. These 0 ranges shoul d oom bino into County n Oranges, these into State -Granges - and State Granges into one National G Grange, hiving general supervision. We believe County 'Granges are not authori-zed by the uonstitution of a the Patrons. They should be be, so a as to form the link in the chain. " Until County Granges arb organited, the various neighborhood Granges Y t should meet in Convention as sug d gested by the Winnsboro Grange, - and there dicuss inatters of general Yimportane-o to the farmers of the whole County. The year 18'73 was o one of apathy. Let the year 18741 V to marked with new life atid vigor on the part of our people. The Printing B3:11 Swindle. .Of tile money swindles perpetrated -uponl thme taxpayers of the State, tile y most lagranlt is tihe yearly appropria 0tionm for State printing. 0 The Port Royal Commnercial, a I. Republican paper edited in Beaufort, -and probably tihe best Republican s sheet published in the State, has been Sshowing up this printing steal in a strong light. From it Weo have 6b d tainedl some statistics on this subject. r The population of Ohio is 2,695,000, d that of South Carolina is 705,000. h The0 value of the farmsa and live stock d in Ohio, not including other sou ices if of property is $1,200,000,000. The lt whole resoureu of our State iselnd d ing dlouble assessments is but $180,. o 00n000 'Ihe printing bill of Ohio 'for one year was aixtiy-three thousand e dallars, that of South Carolina for the d sa mo ti me, /b'tr huntdred thousand. - A gain, the population of Newv York is over four mlilliors, and its wealth sten hmr fifteen imes as great as that of me South Carolina, and the printing bill n ia but licentyetyhl th'usanud della. il The bill of the Republican Print o . hming Comlpany emmbraces $75,000 for o publishming puimphlets on immigration. This sum would brIng bn several - thousand immigrants if applied pro. perly. Another faot we present for thme benefit of tho color-ed pbople who It aoom so at tachled to the thieting ring in Columbia. Thie printing bill for last year Wvas four hundred thottatund 10 dollars. Ihad this slim beert a plied 0 to the purchase of lands at $5 pier acnre, it would hatb bought $80,000 acres, and tis divided inmto fortysabro 8, tracts would hmave given twoo thousand d tractIs, bftc, ftmost, for every colored a ,oter in Flvair/ield. Colored meon think of this. Hero your represontativ'es have given money enough to have bought you oaoh a farm, to a awin dling printing company that refuses atj to allow colored meon to work in its office. You find work on the farm. of tebo Conservative farmers ; you work in shopi owned by ConAbrvative mcchanis ; you work 'on railroa'da belonging to Conserva tive stockhold, efs--in a word, you find employment anyWhere except in the office of a ootpany that has grown rich upon woney stolen by taxea both from yourselveha'and the whites. This is the abrt "of g6lernmedt you have. While It steals from ceerybody it does you oie good. Let ymur votes at 'the next 'elcotion with thoAe 'of -the honest ihitO, wipo out fordvor ti-s, rascalry,'corrupt irepublican printi'g company, thkt by the corrupotibn of the Legislature has made such heavy 'hattla'n the State treasury. Tie Ta-sos. Thirighdttt the W1hoe State we hear grevious odinplaints'bf enormous assessments, as if the goVerb'tif ent, not not satisfied with the high r'te of taxation, is deterniincd to increase the proceeds rcsultin froin this tax to as large a sum as possiblo. And this iv-hile they boast of ceonomy. Prop'rty in Union County haA b6i raised fifty per cent, and in 1Richlh'hd the same amount in many instanbda. InOr'hgebuig instances are given of, labda assess'd at four times their ma'ket'value. 4n Marion and Dar lington gigantio 'frauds have been perpetrted. 'Swamp lands, compara. tively worthless, have been uniformly assessed at twelve dollars per aere.

Chang died, an'd Eng, through some mysterious con netion existing between these twin monstrosities, although apparently in good health, survived him but two hours. Thus has passed away for. ever; one of the wonders of the world. There is anothei- pair of Siamese Twins, however, altogether lovely to behold. The Radical party is Chang, while Bng Is typified in the carpet bag satrapics of the South. Chang is dependent for *otbd tijion Eng, while Eng relic. upon the bayonets of Chang. It is a sweet couple. They have thus far lived in petteet harmo ny. To whatever extent Eng wishes to go, Ohathg follows hit, whilb Lkng assists Chang in earryitig otat every whim and caprieb. But oven bodies pblitib although tWins, are hot im mortal. For some time Chang has beten evincing decided sythptoms of disablution.

Oi Monday next, th6 'taxpayersof Fairfield will neet .or the purpose of selecting delegates to the 4'Sate Con - *ontion to be held in Columbia on the 17th of February. We trust that all aecitions of the County will be fully and ably represeited. If there ever oan be a time when a dthion of our people should be e'f'dot Dd, to contend against the corruption if -the -lidical party, it seems to us hht'how is'that time. As a people, the intelligent taxpayers of South Uarolina have lost much since the wa'r, 'but more especially since ,he inception of our present regime by tardy action in matters demand n'g the 'ttmost energy and resolution. lhis occasional apithy has been most fladly aailed of Ly the Radical press as iidicating, as they pretend, Ahat no real dissatisfaction exists xmong our people in consequence of .he 'burdens heapbd upon them, but ~ltat the complaints are confined to iiscontented and dhlippointed poli. ,icians, and through them flud their Nay into the public prints. Is this true ? Are our people in ledd jo lost to all the dictates of self ntorest, all sense of right, all love *or our once proud and happy, but iow Ill-used and well-nigh ruined 3tate, as to view with folded arms the rapid prdgres we are now mak g ' on the road to political and naterial ruin I Will the intelligent anxpnyers of Fairfield any longer 'ruishtheir enemies and the enemies >f honesty and good government with io fAir alpretbxt for supposing, or iretending to suppose, them to be allous to the corruption with which >ur political atno phere is Po dread ,ully tainted ? Or, do they indeed regard their condition hope'ess, and iny effort or resistance on thei'r part Ltsoloss-?l We subinit these points to the tnatellig'but people of our County, mna hope t'hat \vhat we have said may at least awaken a desire to amneliorate our condition through some unit'od effor't of our own, and that this dlesire nmay find full hnd 'fearless expression in the approaching meeting. It is by no means our province to di'6tate to the Citizens of Fair field what should andl what Ahould not be done at the coming gathering :this umist be fixed by the pedple them. s'elves. It muy be, for aught we her tainly know, that a majority of the taxpayers of the county are averse to giviig expression to th'eir views in th'a p'auliair focrtua dt what was terinta the "Taxpayers' Con veation ;" it nmay be that it will prove tsirable to initiate a policy somewhat dificrent from that adopted by the convention of 1871 -thete arb iattei-a thich can be discussed and determined at t~he meeting. But of the abstract inm portamce, nay, the stern neesity of i'mmedlatb sahd Bohebrted notion upon the liart of thme intelligence of South Carolina, no reasonable madl can en tertain the remotest doubt. And; in deed. should there be any so blind, or so lethargic as not to realize our present need, it were better for themn to bear in silence the wrongs they dlaim not to feel, and to tread silent ly and unostentatiously the suicidal path they havm chosen to take. While we cannot but regret that thbre is subh an element in our State, yet we rejoios to think that it is limited in extent, and powerless iin influence. We bato confidence ini patriotism of the conservative portioti of our population, and we believe that their united and patriotic action can yet redeem South Carolina from her present degradationj and restore her to much, if not all, of her pris tine glory and honor and fame.

While I -an amorgst tho9e who dotbt the ex pedi- noy of the assembling of the convention, believihg thlat -little or no good will result ft on it, it is very pr, per that Fai field should be repre sented in it, and represented 'too, rnot by fossil -pdliticiaiis, but by active, energetic, solid -inen, men capable of grasping the 'situation -f public af. 'fairf intelligettly, arid with a full appreciation of the changes tvrought by the vicisaitudes of war. It has been very unfortunate for u-, Mr. Editor, that otir State'Conventions have been generally filled up with profession-al politicians, and that bon. batio speoch-mtaking ha's be'en Life. promitient featturc of their sessions, whereas the nature of the work before them required determiined uid effee. tive action rather than a moltiplying of words. The only way to remedy this evil-for I so regard 'it-is for the white laboring 'masses, the honest yeomanry of the country, to come to the front arnd tale more in't-e'rest in public affairs. Let t'iem atteiid in force the county gatherings, :n'd claet suitable inen to rep resent thein ini State gatlieringi. If so imnportanmtt a matter is allowed to go by default,'the history of the next Stto conventiuon will be mieroly a repetition of that of its predecessors Since recorstruction, all talk and fio work. The Taxpayer.,1 Convention itself was an abortion, for no sooner had it adjourned, and its members had scarcely reached their homtes, when the famous Conversion Bonds were issued by the F inancialBoard, and a fraudulent debt of over six Ail lions of dollars adeled to the State'. burdens. That b'Jy was ccrtainly imposed upon, for if I rememiber right, the then Governor, It. K. Seat, a bold Radical plunderer, was so far honored as to be invited to a seat upon the rostrui) of the building in which it Was assem bled. Thinik of this, 0 my *couutrymen !
