the sentiments of its party, has no words in condemnation of the proposition, which may be a political issue ere many presidential campaigns: The discussion over the question of the payment to the owners of slaves in the Southern States previous to the rebellion for their value is being revived with great earnestness in various localities in the South. It is claimed that there were in the South before the war about 4,000,000 of negroes. The census of 1870 gives the number of negroes in the United States at 4,886,387. Calculating the slaves at an average of 8600 apiece, we have the sum of S2,400,000,000. Put it down at 8300 as an average, and then we would have ?1,2U0,00U,UUU. lieorgia gave in 10/U tne value of her negro property at 8302,694,855, or about an average of ?700. It is urged that these slaves were the property of individual citizens, legally obtained, aud which they were entitled to under the Constitution of the United States; that they j were arbitrarily freed and their value de-1 stroyed, and that this occurred in many cases without the fault of their owners, but as one of the incidents of the war. A correspondent, in discussing the subject, suggests that they do not expect to get the money-value of the negroes directly out of the Treasury of the United States with the national debt upon the country, but that other means should be devised, which would be more equitable, and then further urges the South in Congress, as one man, to vote against any more donations of public land, and t# insist that this domain i must be held for more sacred purposes?the paying of the South for her negroes. It is very discreetly suggested that it may not be in order just now, but that it is well enough . to have such thoughts in one's mind for future use. An appeal is then made for all owners of slaves to record them, as their children will no doubt at some future day be paid for what , their fathers lost. There is no question that the idea of the payment for the loss of slaves is a very popular and potent element in Southern politics, and, surrounded as it is with some technical ground of legality, it will be urged with additional earnestness and persistence. That it should be commended by some leading Southern journals, and strongly enrlr?re<vl hv ?. lnrorp nnmher of influential South ~ o; # # ? # ; eru politicians, is a fair indication that, however long delayed, the issue at some time will become a potent one in the election of members of Congress in the South. The Tax Payers of Chester. A meeting of citizens of Chester was held at the Court House of that county on Monday of last week. The Hon. Samuel McAlliley presided. The object was the organization of Tax Unions for the county. After this business was attended to, Maj. S. P. Hamilton introduced the following preamble and resolutions, which were unauiraously adopted : .1 m TT _c ,1 Oi-i. wnereas, tne lax unions 01 mis oiaie are organized to secure a reduction of taxation, and the honest appropriation and expenditure of the public funds; and Whereas, the amount collected in taxes from the people of South Carolina is far in excess of what is required for the nrost liberal administration of affairs of the State government; and Whereas, the Constitution of South Carolina has declared that, "all property subject to taxation should be taxed in proportion to its value," which the act of the General Assembly, passed March 19, 1874, has declared to he "its true value in money," which in all cases otherwise not specially provided for in this act, shall be held to be the usual selling ' price at the place where the return is to be made ; and if thero be no usual selling price then at what is honestly believed could be 1 obtaiued for the same, at a fair sale at the place aforesaid ; and Whereas, so much of the act of March 19, 1874, which empowers the State board of j equalization to "add to the aggregate value of the real property of every county, which they shall believe to be valued below its true value iu money, such per centum, in each case, as will raise the same to its true value in mouey," and which directs the couuty auditor to add such per centum to the valuation after the same has been equalized by the county board of equalization, is unconstitutional and void; and Whereas, by section 140 of said act of 1874, S* la a^aata/1 hat a/iDnntian nf tu vpq chuH It IS CliatlCU Ifliab tlAW W1IVVWIV1I V* VMMVW not be stayed or prevented by an injunction, writ or order issued by auy court or judge thereofand therefore the courts of justice are closed against the tax-payer, and he is without remedy or protection. Therefore be it Resolved, That we offer for the consideration of the Tax-Unious of the county, when met in a county Tax-Union, aud through it to the State Tax-Union, the following course of actiou: 1. That we will pay no taxes until the Legislature at its coming session shall by law duly enacted give ample redress of the grievances of which we of right complain, to be made known to that body by the State Tax-Uuion. 2. That we will pay no taxes except upon a valuation and assessment of property according to its "true value in money," as directed by the Constitution of the State, and not as decreed by the State board of equalization. 3. That we will pay no taxes so long as the courts of justice are by law closed against tax payers. The Rur^l Carolinian for August.? There are two particularly striking features about the present number of this leading Southern agricultural periodical. The first is a very handsome frontispiece, giving the first and only engraving of the celebrated Eucalyptus tree that has ever been published in | this country. The second is an able article j from the pen of that distinguished agricultu- | ral writer, C. W. Howard, of Georgia. The ! Eucalyptus represented in the frontispiece was j planted in 1868, and was not six years old j when the photograph was taken from which the engraving was made. It is, nevertheless, 1 fifty-six feet high, and the engraving shows it towering above the roof of a two story house, j while the man who stands in its shade near the j trunk looks very diminutive. Mr. Howard's j article treats of "The turnip, sheep husband- j ry and soil improvement," at the South, and j is characterized by the vigor of style and | thoroughness of knowledge that always mark his writings. While these are the two lead-; ing features of this number, and we canuot ; help congratulating the Rural Carolinian on securing the cooperation of so valuable and | influential a writer as Mr. Howard, it contains, ! moreover,.a great variety of articles and information. all of interest and imDortance. Col. D. Wyatt Aiken is short, but strong, on "small grains," in reply to "Book Farmer while a writer calling himself "A Lover of Flowers" contributes an prticdp pp .Southern Home and its Surroundings," that he might well be proud to publish over his own signature. The literary department, besides j many other good things, eontaius a thrilling narrative, entitled "Sumraerfield's .Secret," which shows how the world, not many years ago, escaped destruction by fire. This story alone is worth a year's subscription. - - - + ? The Vickskukg Election.?The Vickshurg election passed off quietly and iu the , best of order. After all the threats of danger and demand for United States troops it appears there was neither imminent danger nor cause for alarm. The result was the success by nearly four hundred majority of what was called the white man's ticket. Some colored men voted with the majority, but only four white men, it is said, voted the negro ticket. It is peculiarly unfortunate that contests of; this character are precipitated at these municipal or State elections. If the colored men of the Southern States are to become useful and worthy citizens, it can never be done by mak-1 ing the question of color au issue iu the po-! ;>w litical canvass. This of necessity arouses the worst passions of both races, and in every instance thus far the result has been the defeat of the colored men. The difficulty in these cases is scarcely ever attributable to thecolored meu themselves, or to the leaders of their own race. It is generally occasioned by the selfish course of some debased white demagogues, who incite this feeling in hopes to gain political office for themselves ; and so long as this class of men are allowed any influence or control in public affairs iu a city or State, so long will these unfortunate contests arise. Peace, harmony, aud a united desire for the public good, without reference to race or color, is the only security for the prosperity of the community; and the sooner the Southern country is rid of these pestilent instigators of public discord the better for all citizens, whether white or black; and if they were to suffer from the summary punishment they seek to excite against their neighbors the loss to the community would be small, and the public benefit incalculably great.?

J. R. S. WINE GROWING." WE arc vine growers by profession, lately arrived from France, and residing at Chester, We have observed that in spite of great fertility and natural adaptability of the soil to the cultim of grapes, that no wine is made in this country, ami that it is very dear. Many persons, in the neighborhood where w( live, have employed us to plant out vines, and w< propose, if we meet encouragement, to go intc that business. Our expectation is to import the plants from France this Fall, to superintend the setting them out, to give instructions as to the niodeof culture, and, at the proper time, to instruct the people how to make good WINE AND BRANDY. We hope to receive encouragement from the peopleof South Carolina, and that through ourexertions they will become rich. One acre of vine* will produce 7,000 QUARTS OF WINE, which, in this market, is worth from fifty cents to om dollar per quart; and from our experience here, we have no doubt of success. We will go to the neighboring counties. Write to us at Chester, S Carolina. JOSEPH LAGUY, EMILE LUG AND. August 0 32 3t? IN THE DISTRICT COURT Of the United States for the District ofS.
