A very lengthy address to the pei >le of the United 8tates has been I uod by the Republican Congressioi i committee. This is the flrt doei nient of the kind since 1866, who Jongress warred ageinst Andy Johi on. This address is 'very oraftil vritten and defends the party < itogross by abusing the demoorats, The address, onike tost other pc iticav deourents has- nothing to sa >f 'Grant, good, bad or Ind ifferent. Perhaps the party is ot prepni id to support the smoky CmosW nil yet is afraid to oppoe irm. Instead of dealing with th ive issues of the -day, it searobi imong the uiisty records of th )emoeratie pauty since 1831*, ft 6buses-in governitont. The obristia 1hilanthropy of ,suh sainto.s *.a 'handler are bhoked tit ihe -buillyin iropensity displayed by domoorati dministrations in reocuing Kos: rom Austrian wrath, in winnin jalifornia and other territory froa iaxico, and in backing down fror gagiaad on tire boumdary 4uestion, t very naturally refrains fro:M men ioning the fact that under Grant LdmiLlsbration so much energy is di layed in oppressing surrendere ebels in the South that even Spai ullies with iuipu'nity and that th owerful State of San Domingo 'com car being put into the breeche ookets of the president's heehomei It then speaks -of the great natior 1 improvements effebted by republi a'ns.

L'he 1Results of the Taapagyers' Oonver tion. The Union -Heralid, which it is 'no aid, was recently boraght by -0. ( Puffer, the receiver of the Banuk < he State, contained, on Sunday, a rtiele under the. above head ing.] 'as dicvtd probably since Iput as 'taken elharge, thatthe 001nvvntie ailed in everything it' undertook t complish.

It says of the memorial.: "There was a temporary exeitt nent produced 'through thre newspz er press by the p sblieation of teh memorial' far -and wide, which ha eon, however, 'a~lmed down 'by th eplion evoked, and by the sobe econd thought of the peo. It ld efreshing to t4e peo pe to, Oeo the proof of an asortion e Aus reolessly made. It is a noto. 0 lous fact that the press everywhere, t except a few Journals bought up by 0.publio pap, have fairly gloated in 1116pI6tibef the 'oodiiaiio'n' of al'alis I er ; and their frenzy increases day y by. day. The whole vocabulary of i- abuse has been exhausted in supply a igg,epithots for -the thieving-rjn that as ..ruiaid this dtate; and Lany J')urnals are only waiting to begin afresh notil some new words of extra lsteength are caused especially for the ocason, The Times, the Herald, the Tri bune, and other leading papers dis bree in loto with the potent organ of 0 puffer. They by n6 means consider hat 'tba taxpayere' memorial has bteen answered, and are especially soandnlixed that such infamous orea tures as Whittemore had the audaci. y to appear in defence of their atro 0 {ioas villainy. The blaze kindled by the eonveution is spreadiug over the land like wildfire and will great ly assist- in the cremation of the na tional tepublican party in NKovomber. r Vufferis paper also congratulates the honest leaders of the ring that 0 the convention has failed in organiz. ting tax unions. PFor its benefit we qtiote a well known salutation and repartee, "Spurina, the ides of Maroh have come." Aye, bua not yone. Taxes will be collected Lext January. The unions haVe six months a to organize. Three counties are or. ganized now, and new unions are forming everywhere. The tax unions in Fairfield are succeeding much bet ter in organiziig at present than the ring leagues are. Puffer's chaticleer Ihas by no means gotten out of the woods yet.. Don't ewow too hustily. e The convention met after a third of e the taxes of 1873-74 had been col lecte'd, too late to resist then. But they ae taking time by the forelook, and we opine the tax gatherer next year will'not havo such an easy task. In regard to immigration it says of e 'the landholders, "They did not seem to have the remotest idea that there were any real or important reasons f why the immigrant should go west, except their unwillingness hitherto to have himl) come South." fThe Union Herald is hugging a fond delusion. The land holders do knowq( one serious reason why the immigrait prefeis to go West. It is that thin very ringjfor whiuh the Union f.eralX is th : aid apologist, t has so robbed and plunder ed and ruined the State that it hag become ahno-t a hell for every honest utatn, and the immigrant will much prefer settling where there t .is some show of honesty to coming to a place where he will be robbed of the v ery coat on his back by some RadIi cal ring swindler. Th- Stato knows thisahoriousi reason. The United States -know .it. Tfhe world is not ignorant *of it. B ut the t axpayers will refornm Bthe State, and then a tide of hardy r immitgration w-ill 1o~utr into bur bor ders. When tha crop is i-old and the farmers have money, if the colored a people are still so deaf to reason and a honeety as to perpetuate rascality, then thte immigration society will thrive. Imnmigration is a lively eo'rpse anid will not he stricken to death even by the taunder of Puffer's Spaper. We are nrot surprised I~hat a the Ring is not pleased with the re sults of the Convention-. But we are delighted with its work. No one e utside of the State knew how the ering had stolen, until the memoial ewont forth to the world. Now our nwrongs are-in the mouth of every aone. Why does every radical leader who goes to Washington return fstuffed to the 'throat with reform ~i Ask the memorial. Why did the New York Times send a special cr. a respondent to investigate our n-ffair-al Ask the ritemorial. Why does the W government threaten to unload~ these I. criniging nuvs who ct-ouch behind its cost tails and snap at every crumb a that fall5 .1 Ask the memorial. *Th''at samne taxpayers, C'onvent ion rwas the salvation of the State, as t-he a thieves know to their- sorrow. 0 But we will sa~y no more. Thse g Union He'Irald proves itself the fali-. 1- ty -of its assertion that the rinig refu. ted the memorial and established its 0 chatacter-. We append an editoriael a that canto out side by side with tho -one we have answered, and furnishes a triking ilstration of how one I- can blow hot-and cold out of the samte -mouth. THE~ WAniNN.-lf there be any. thing wanting to tihe argument we have persistently urged upon thea -Reptiblicans of this State, it is con -tained in the following, extract from a an editoria-l in the New York Times, B General Grant's especial organ. 1I' e speaking of what General Grant has r said about '1South Carolina, the Times says lie (rama a) further added that noless a true re form was begun at once in South Carolina, the 11opublican party would this fall repudiate the so-called Ro. publicans of that State. In fact, this is what the Republicans of the North have already done. The tri. umph of Moses and his gang would be on'y the triumph of corruption, and that the people of this country will not stand." If we do not hed this warning it) time, tharo will not be enough loft of our 'organization next year te make a respectablo ward meeting. We cannot fight the Demoorats here, General Grant and the whole country besido. Vo caniot afford to commit political tuicido, and we are not go. ing to. Editorial Notes. The Macon Correspondent of the Courier Journal states that Grant it in favor of Gen. Kershaw as Gover. nor of South Carolina. We would take this to be a canard, but the ru mor having come from different siurces, thero may be something in it. As the News and Courier well says, it is too good to be true. But if Grant is a Kershaw man, tho Con 8ervatives-of South Carolina will be Grant meon. The Port Royal Standard and Commercial, which was so bitter against the ring last year, seems to be relapsing. Its last editorial on Bonroruismi has a strong tendency toward the old ruts. Twas over Thus." Tax Unions are springing up over the wholo State. The Ne-ws and Ouuriercomnenids "Plucky Fairtield" a1s an example to hoc sistoe cointies. Let the noible work go on in Fairfield. We want the names of fifteon hun dred voters on our County Roster. Edward Stokes Esq. the O'Conor Democratic war horo has lain in Greenville jail for a year. lie refused to testify as to tie where abouts of his property, an I was com mitted for contempt by N-tdge Cooke. The Groeuville News publishod a local calling attention to this fact, and saying that the unfortunate pris onor'si health is being undermined by close confiuemeut. Fvr this Judge Cooke has ordered the Editor to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt of court. Now independently of the Jus tice in Stokeb' ease, we wish to know whether a judge can thus muzvle any paper at will. Wo belive not. Judge Cooke is attempting the same outrage on the pres. at which Carpenter failed. Eveiy paper in the State should back the Greenville News and fight Judge Cooke to the bitter end. fli is nothiog but a cir cuit Judge in a rotten State and yet azsunes dictatorial powers.

An Appeal ror O.rlvanization. Mr,. JEditor . Tuaro' the mlediuma of your columns I d1esire to say at few words to mhe people of thlis COun lty in rega rd to t he t'orman~g41 of Ta x Unionus. Fo r th~e first tune since the war our people are ealled uipon to enter an organiza tion which isi nlot essentially political. For the second timne in their eventful history they are adIjured to band themselves together, not to mnaintai n a theoccry, but for s esrervati.le, From my stand point, .\r. FIditor, theC orgalli/.tionl of thle honedt maSses ino unlions,,is a meneau re which is im'purn tively ceiimanded by every considera, tion for the public weal. Nay more, it is a stern necessity, rendeted so by cbo chatracter -oI the t ies in wh ieh we now live. O.nr cnditioni is des !perate ill theO extreme, and nothing ennl remedy it but lie appIication elh desperate moanis. I fear the t-im is not, a great. way distant when t he up plhcation of those melcans will not onidy be a ecessity, but, a fliality. Let it not lie said of us that we let slip the golden opportunity for striking asn der thle -chains and shackles that bind us to an existencee little better thlan that of serfdom. T1he remnedy is within onir reach if we would only seize it. Our duty is plain, and easy to discharge. It. is simply to organ Ize, not tn hlostility to the govern. ment or the legally constituted au thattiOs, but peaceably and quietly, with the firuadet,ormination to strike 01n0 more blow for our salvation. Our ease is not entirely hopeless, ,and thorn is still some light in th~e die taunt horiz ii. The wholoe cunitry is a roused to our mion) an.d, Oven the administration at Washington is beginning to realize the full extent of our troubles.and difficulties. But we mnust first help ourselves, or at least make the effort, boft re we can expect outside assistaeoo. Sympa thy and kind words are all we way look for just now front our friends North or West, but substantial aid is offered at the proper time. The truth is we have never yet made a hearty, Combined effort to free our. solves from political thraldon, and until we do, we ate not entitled to hulp. Horetofore our people have given way to dark furebodings, and surrendered their hopes to desp-ir. They have given up the light before it was fairly begun, and their cue mie were allowed an easy victory. And i-o it wil be, unless some deoi. -ivo eteps are taken. A thorough or. gmIozution, however, is indispensable, 4 n1d necessarily prelitiinary to any puisittive aoeion. No movement in which the peoplo are invoived can succeed ut'les thej comibino their trenngth and reu.ources, and uniite upou a general plan of procouure. Iis coml bina Lion and uity Cal) be effected in the organizatian of Tax Unions. Trese Unions prosoribe no 'uan on accounat of his political opin ions arid prejAdiues.
