Grant and Shepherd. -The District of Columbia has been ;govorned for doveral years by a cor rupt ring, rivaling'Tdtmy'ring in Now York. The district groaned under a debt of $20,OOO0oo, and creditors-dr'ho paid. Shoppord was Governor. Congress abolished the ConAtitution of tie district Govern 'rauit 'and placed its affairs in the han'da -of itree Conmissioners. President Grant nominated Shep. .iord m on-t,*of thdso, although he had boon notoriously corrupt. The U, a S. Senate rejected him by a'vote of 36 to 6. The only sonators suppor tAing the nomination wore Jones of Nevada,-8argent of California, Pat. ,torson, of South Carolina, Spencer, of I Alabama, Flanagan, of Texas, and -another soallawag. Logan denouno ed'shepperd am a robber, and other ihfluential republi nmus expressed 'their digunt. This decided vote was a direct censure 'to Grant, and 'will doubtless widen the broaeb be tween him and his party. We rejoice to soo some ovidences of reform in 'the United 'States 8enatb. The Law of the Tealgraph and Ixpress, oth I the telegraph and expressI, ansqgasi dommon carriers, are subject $o the sam8 law as to the ?elivery of Tpaokug~es and dlospatchos. The law is that the company must 'deliver the -package or despatch with out declay to thse party to whom ad dressed, provided that party lIve wIdibin thre corporate limit.. The rason given by thm courts for this rule is, that tihe 'consideration for tihe ,eta sum paid beyond what would be required by railroad or mnail, is -hle quickness of the deli't~ry'.

The good seed planted in Fobruary >y the taxpayers' conwation is bear ng tibundairt ruit. It has awnkened he North to a sense of the corrup ion existing in South Carolina, and t is fast awakening our own people o the neoesity of united action. lix months ago, the people were lead. Now every exchange that we -ead contains a report of the organi :ation of a tax union in some county. As yet, however, only a nucloa ias beet formod around which the ionesty of the State will orystallize a time. It is a serious undertaking o organize a party, to reduoe chaos ,o order. But if an e'ffort is made, k body of thousands of voters eun be gathored and made eaetve.. We have often been asked what is aho obioot of tak unions, and how wrill that obboct be attained. We wrill endeavor to reply. Trho plat term of the tax-unions contains one plank of four words, "Reformi in South Carolina." Upon this plat rorm can unite all l o test mn, white bnd colored, repul lio inns or deieo. 3rats. It knows no distinction on account of "oc, color, or panyious ~nditlon." Tfhe Union is not ora ganied to run a republican or demo aratio trcket. kt is organited for the purpose of supporting the most honi set available men for offico. It is or ganised to ferrot out and punish erime, coming from any quarter. E'very honest man admits that re form or ruin are the alternatives, Bat while leach honest citizen depends upon his own individual effourt he cans nfi'ect nothieg. Rvery great succesa. is achieved only by ha&rd work and harmonious, unanimous action. The ring have four of the requisites for success. 1Eirst, a majority of voters, their dupes and tools. 8econd, the strIotest purty disi:pline in the Uni ad 8t ate.. Third, public plunder, in the patroaage of government, by which votes can lbe purchased. Fourth, the entire control of elec. tions, by the ftppointment of corrupt managers to stuff the ballot box Against those, the tax:payers lhave nothing as yet. But let them once organise and have strict discipline in their rank. and tney can dictate terms to their- adversaries. The tax. payers own tihe property of the State and they have courage and military experienee. Suppose then that a dishonest governor and Legislature are elected again in spite of honest opposition, and then suppose that a delegation be sent from the tax. unions, which represent 60,000 de termined men, and nmne-tenmthm of the property of the 8tate, to the Legisla ture, to plainly tell thom that unless taxes are greatly reduced not a cent trill be paid.

It has recently ohanged owners.

It is fair to pre sutno then, that it will be. run in iauiberlain's interest. It has here. tifuore contained some good editorials on reform : but how it can nsaim henceforth in the current with such a millstone aroui.d its neck as Cham. berlain Is a "ataggerer." C(hamborlain has his pockets load. ed with the sinking fund -windle, the land comwissiou swindle, the conversion bond swindle and va rious other small swindles, and it will require co lks of great buoyancy to keep his head above water. The Union-Ileraid will find it bard work this waim weather to carry such Agad weight as Chamberlain. ' With Chamberlain as gubornatorial candidate, the radicals can well speak of reform.

Mlackey was next ibitroduced by the ebuiman. He spoke fur nearly an hour on the cot dition of affairs in the State. In thn course of his remarks lhe said thast it was no lunger good policy to keep the people Ignorant of the danrge-r which was throatm'inig them. To day the government of South Cairo lina wa~s discussed in ahlnot every piper in the United StatL&s, we had attracted the attention of the whole country, and the time had came when our salva'ion depended up..n a radical change in the manage ment of our affairs. Tihose who had been ruling .he lepulianm patty of thia State had brought it into disre pute with the wbole nation. During the last six years our rulers ha.d stolen and wasted more money than wvould have bought a homestead for every one of the twenty thousand voters of this county. Under the guise of Republicanism a few inen had stolen millions, and brought d is. gracec upon the whole party. Fo all the bonds that bad been fraudu headly issued ; from all the money that had t'een stolen or waste oull) expended, n. benefit whatever h-ad accrued to the peolie ; and )et upon themi fell the odium. At the las session of the Legislature more naon.. ey was appropriated to pay fraudu lent olaims tn:an was appropriated for esfucat ion, and so it has been for several years past. This w. a owing to the corrupt ion and ignorance which prevailed in tho Liegishatut o. Men had beena elected meomber3 of the Loegialat ure who could not read a woad of the laws they had passedl. Thle ignorant legislator- was just as criminal us the corrupt one. No one should accept a po~sit ion unless he is capable of illling it, and the man who undertakes to represent the people without the ability to do so com mits a crime. Unless a re formi w.as brought about at onee, the Rtepub liecan party of United States would repudiiate the party In Soutii Carolina, .Rather than incur the risk of losieg the groat States; of New York, Penn, Sylv'-uia and Ohio in t~ho nex ro i dential eleotion, they. will lond their influonOe towards tuaniug this State over to the party who are now or. ganizing themselves as Taxpayers. Without a groat change, in lose than two years fiom now the Republican party in this State will be dead. If we want to save it we must at once commence a fight against tite band of thieves in our midst. We have got to drive some iou out, of our party, because they are our worst enemies. In the coming elootion those who have ruled us for the past six years will make a srenuous fight to keep in power. With the money they have stolen they expect to buy theisolves back into ofie . If those uiren can keep the power which they have so bhaniefully abused, they will bring utter ruin upon us. I'ven now there areno less than eight or ten millions of fraudulnt claims walting for the assembling of the iiext Legislature. Then they ex peot to reap a rich harvest in the payment of the fraudulent couver sion bond., Blue Ridge script and pay certificates. Two years more of such rule and South Car olina will becomoe another Georgia. It should be borno in mind that less than four years ago every Southern State was controlled by the Republican party. To-day the IRepublicans can rely only upou Siuth Carolina, Miss. issippi and Alabama. Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Texas, Ar kansas, Tennessee, have already pass. ed out of their possession. Louisiana will soon follow. Let us take warn ing in time. Wherever the Repub licans havo allowed the opposition to carry any one of the Southern States they have v'ever been able to regain it. Let the Dmocracy onceo carry So.uth Carolina, and the Republican party hero wil' be dead forever. It would be well for the people to bear in mind the fact that no party can live long whose supporters are main ly dependent upon politics and poli ticians for a living. If you want to per petuate the Republican party in South Carolina, give the people a State government that can comuland the espect of the comllmunity, and the conii.iuce of the country-a Staate goverunment that can do some thing for the material interest of thbe State, and that will bring life and activity into busine.ss. lie continued in this strain, showing the people that their ivelfare lay in the increas ed prosperity of the State and city. lie watited to tee thecm, got g.,od wages for their work, and lie wanted their labor to be ir deuaund, so that they would not be dependent, upon polities and politicians for a living. lie did not want the Ieptublicans to be in such a coind iti in that whenever they carried an election u io than half of their voters wanted a situa tion on the streets, police or sonic other plae..
