E. B. MXJSRAY, Editor. THURSDAY MORNING, NOV'R 14, 1878. With this issuo of the Intelligencer Mr. W. W. Keys, who has for several years been connected with this office, be? comes one pf the partners^ in the publi? cation of the paper, and will assist in the conduct of the local department. The paper will be conducted as heretofore, and every effort will be made to render it more attractive as a newspaper than it has ever been. During the approaching session of the Legislature the editor, who will be a member of that body, will keep our readers well posted from week to week with a full and authentic synopsis of the news from our State Capitol. Those who ere not already taking the paper should subscribe at once, and those who are in arrears for subscription are urged to come forward and pay up. We appreciate very much the high position accorded the Intelligencer by public opinion, and are satisfied t bat the change which ha3 been announced will prove beneficial to the patrons of the paper. ABBEVLLLE'S ASSESSMENT. The last fonr or five issues of the Ab beville^Preaa awl Banner has been full of | hard mid unkind words for the State Board of Equalization, and more partic? ularly for our esteemed townsman, Col. J. N. Brown, who represented the Third Congressional District on that Board, for no other reason than that Board, which was composed of as able financiers as the State of Sooth Carolina possesses, deemed it proper, in the faithful and impartial discharge of their sworn duty, to raise the valuation of real property in that County, outside of incorporated towns and villages, to the amount of SO per cent, on the valuation fixed by the Audi? tor and approved by the County Board of Equalization. On first thought the casual thinker would justify the com? plaints msde by our contemporary, whose opinions, is a general thing, are pretty correct about most matters. But in this particular instance we are inclined to think that it has not only committed an error, but has also done the State Board, and pa-ticnlarly Col. Brown, a great in? justice, which the just and fair-minded citizer.r c;. its own County, we honestly believ will admit, when the facts of the case are given to them, and which the Press an: Banner so far has failed to do. The facta are simply these, which we hope our contemporary will give to its readers, since it has seen proper to cen? sure so severely the representative from this district: When the State Board met they found that there was a great falling off in the valuation of real property in some of the counties, while in others it had been returned at about the same valuation a3 heretofore. The counties in which the largest decrease was noticed were Beaufort, Williamsburg, Abbeville, Chesterfield and Chester. The only al? ternatives for the Board to adopt, in order to equalize the valuation of the real property in the various counties of | the St3te, was either to lower the assess? ments in those counties where they ap? proximated those of former years, other things being equal, or to raise the assess? ment in .hose that had fallen behind. One of the two was necessary in order to give justice to the landowners of those counties in which the real estate had been assessed at its former value, that the burthen of taxation might be equally imposed upon the whole people. We believ.; the Board acted wisely in pursu? ing the latter course, the hue and cry of | the Press and Banner to the contrary notwithstanding. We do not believe the assessment of the real e3tate in a single county of the State is too high, and why there should be so much dissatisfaction and grumb'<Dg at the Board for the man? ner in which they have discharged their duty is more than we are able to com? prehend, unless there is a wilful desire on tbo part of some to avoid paying their portion of the taxes. For the sake of J argument, suppose the other plan had been adopted, and the assessments of j those counties in which the property had been returned at an approximation of | the former valuation bad been lowered in proportion to the others. Would the taxes have been any lighter? Certainly not, for in proportiou to the decrease of | the yalue of the property of the State will it be found necessary to increase the tax levy, in order to raise the requisite amount of money for carrying on the government. This is certainly a reason? able view of the matter, and when the fact is made known that Abbeville Coun? ty will pay taxes on $118,797 less next year than it has this, and that, too, after the 30 per cent, of so-called Brown taxes have been added, we are amazed that our contemporary should censure the Board as it does. Instead of paying seven thousand dollars more of taxes next year Abbeville will really pay more than two thousand dollars less, provided the next levy should be the same as the last. We do not think the owners of real estate in Abbeville or any of the other counties in which the assessment has been increased, have room for grumbling when all the facts of the case are taken into consideration. Our contemporary complains also that the assessment has been raised in Abbe? ville and not in Anderson. Let us com? pare them: The Board found the lands in Anderson County assessed at $4.77 per acre and in Abbeville County at $3.45. By adding 30 per cent, to the value of the Abbeville lands we find it at $4.49?still lower than Anderson.? The Board did not raise the assessment in this County simply because they found it high enough. Anderson is the third county in the State in regard to the val? uation of real estate as returned to the Board. Newberry was 5.08, York 4.86, Anderson 4.7J. Should Anderson's as? sessment be increased? Then, the Press and Banner thinks it a great injustice to the citizens of Abbe? ville County to set at naught their solemn oaths a3 to the value of their property, when the fact i3 the law governing the assessment of real property does not re? quire any oath from the owner of such property. The method by which it is assessed is this: The Auditor makes a list of eacli trnct and parcel of land in the county and places a value on it, in the discharge ?f which duty he is assis? ted by regularly appointed assessors, in? vested with powers of inspection, &c. He is required to have this statement completed by the last of September, a copy of which is furnished the Comp? troller General and the Board of County Commissioners. The County Board of Equalization then meets and equalizes the assessments as made by the Auditor as they think is just and right. The assessments for the various counties of the State are then equalized by the State Board, which meets on or before the first Monday in October. Their transactions are reported to the Legislature immedi? ately upon its meeting, and approved or disapproved, in whole or in part, as it may deem proper; and as the property is passed upon by this body it will be taxed. If injustice is done any county in the State, it can be rig'ited in this body, and we have no doubt that if any of the aggrieved counties can make it appear that they are oppressed that the relief demanded will be given them. We do not wish to be understood as seeking to oppress the people of our neighboring County, for they have cer? tainly had their share of oppression since the war, but we do want them to ber.r their proportionate share of the burthen of taxation. One word more. The Press and Banner says that it does not hold "any one man" responsible for the action of the State Board. Then, why does it censure Col. Brown bo severely, and that, too, when the editors of that paper know he was not present when the assessment of Ab? beville County was raised? "Actions speck louder than words." THE FORTY-SIXTH CONGRESS. Enough has been ascertained from the returns of the late election for members of Congress in the States to insure the Democrats a small majority in the next Congress. The parties, according to States, will stand as follows: Alabama, 7 Dem., 1 Rep.; Arkansas, 4 Dem.; Col? orado, 1 Rep.; Connecticut, 1 Dem., 3 Rep.; Delaware, 1 Dem; Florida, 1 Dem., 1 Rep.; Georgia, 9 Dem.; Illi? nois, 7 Dem., 12 Rep.; Indiana, 6 Dem., 6 Rep., 1 G. B.; Iowa, 7 Rep., 2 ?. B. ; Kansas, 3 Rep.; Kentucky, 10 Dem.; Louisiana, 6 Dem ; Maine, 3 Rep., 2 G. B.; Maryland, 5 Dem., 1 Rep.; Massa? chusetts, 1 Dem., 10 Rep.; Michigan, 9 Rep.; Minnesota, I Dem., 2 Rep.; Mis? sissippi, 6 Dem.; Missouri; 12 Dem., 1 G. B.; Nebraska, 1 Rep.; Nevad.., 1 Rep.; New Hampshire, 3 Rep.; New Jersey, 2 Dem., 4 Rep., 1 G. B.; New York, 8 Dem., 25 Rep.; North Carolina, 5 Dem., 2 Rep., 1 G. B.; Ohio, 11 Dem., 9 Rep.; Oregon, 1 Dem.; Pennsylvania, 8 Dem., 18 Rep., 1 G. B.; Rhode Island, 2 Rep.; South Carolina, 5 Dem.; Ten? nessee, 9 Dem., 1 Rep.; Texas, 5 Dem., 1 G. B.; Vermont, 2 Rep., 1 G. B.; Vir? ginia, 8 Dem., 1 Rep.; West Virginia, 3 Dem.; Wisconsin, 3 Dem., 5 Rep. These figures are not based upon the official returns, but these will not mate? rially vary them. The House of Repre? sentatives is at present composed of 293 members, of these, excluding California, which does not elect until next Septem? ber, the Democrats have 145, the Repub? licans 133, and the Greenbackers 11. The Democrats have a plurality of 12 over the Republicans and a majority of one over both Republicans aud Green backers. Several of those numbered as Greenbackers are Democrats, and will co-operate with the party in its caucuses and vote with it. The Democratic ma? jority will be sufficiently large for all practicable purposes of legislation, and at tbe same time so small as to impress upon the leaders the importance of cau? tious statcsmenship in the measures to which the party will be committed. The Greenback movement has proved a sig? nal failure, only eleven out of 289 mem? bers elected being of that party, and al? though the movement was not confined to either of the great parties, yet the in? troduction of the question into tbe can? vass was much more injurious to the Democrats than the Republicans. This vote evidently shows that tbe people de? sire a good, uniform currency, the pur? chasing value of which shall be about par with gold. In the event that tbe people should fail to elect the next President, that duty will devolve upon the House of Repre? sentatives just elected. The election would then be by States, each State cast? ing one vote, and the majority of the delegation of each State determining the vote of the State, and as there are at present thirty-eight States, and it re? quires a majority of all the States to elect the President, it will require twenty States or votes to elect. The present po? litical complexion of the House gives to the Democrats seventeen States and the Republicans eighteen, leaving out of the count Florida, California aud Indiana. Florida will be represented by one Dem? ocrat and one Republican, and hence the State would fail to cast its vote, if both of the Representatives remain true to the party which elected them. California has in the present Congress four Repre? sentatives, two Democrats and two Re? publicans, and if at the next election there should bo the same representation, its vote would also be lost in the count. Indiana having returned six Democrats, six Radicals and one Grcenbacker, the balance of power in that State is with a single man, Mr. De La Matyr, who may elect the President in 18S0. Should tho election go into the Hausc, the Democrats cannot elect, and the Radicals to do so must secure the States of California and Indiana, which at present it is not probable they can do. If the House should fail to elect before the 4th day of March, then according to the provisions of the 12th article of the Constitution, the Senate on that day would virtually elect the President. The whole State has heard with pro? found regret of the sad accident which has befallen our noble Hampton, ai.d sincerity has never been more genuine thau that which characterizes the gen? eral sentiment of sorrow expressed by the multitude when they hear of the un? fortunate occurrence. We feel thankful and rejoiced, however, that the condith n of the Governor is improving, and that it is hoped ere long that he will again be able to resume his official duties. ?OY. HAMPTON'S PROCLAMATION'. Gov. Hampton on yesterday, tbe 13th inst., issued his proclamation, announc? ing that in consequence of serious injury, resulting from a painful accident, which produced inability on his part to dis? charge the duties of the office of Governor, that the Constitution of the Commonwealth devolved the same upon the Hon. \V. D. Simpson, Lieutenant Governor of the State. Gov. Simpson will therefore perform the duties devolv? ing upon the Chief Magistrate until Gov. Hampton shall so far have recovered as to enable him to discharge its duties. THE COLUMBIA REGISTER. Our remarks about the Columbia Reg? ister last week did our contemporary a great injustice, which we regret, and cheerfully correct by publishing its ar? ticle, which completely vindicates it from any connection with the matter of our dispatches last week : "The Anderson Intelligencer says "that the Columbia Register availed it? self of one of the rules of the Associated Press to prevent the Intelligencer from receiving news until it hail been published in that journal," and more to the same effect. Our contemporary has jumped to a conclusion, which is without the slightest foundation, so far as the Register is concerned. No application was made to this office for access to our telegraphic reports from outside the State, and no one connected with the Register was informed that such was the wish of the Intelligencer. We have never declined, in a single instance, to accommodate any of our contemporaries in this respect, and the editor of the Register has responded cheerfully this week to every such demand upon his time, as the special dispatches in the Ab? beville Press and Banner, the Sumter Watchman and other journals will testify. It is true that we have the right to ex? clude others from the use of the tele? grams sent by the Associated Press, be? cause the Register pays the toll exacted for these dispatches, but this right has not been exercised at any time. An in? justice has been done us by tbe Intelli? gencer, which we believe it will correct. Our authority for the conclusion reached in our article was stated last week, and it appeared to be sufficient at the time. We are now satisfied, how? ever, that the information was incorrect. We know that this paper has been uni? formly courteous and accommodating, and while we were satisfied from the beginning that the editor of the Register had not refused the dispatches, it is now equally clear that none of the Company would have done so. We regret the mistake, as we were entirely misled, and thereby unintentionally censured, with? out cause, one of our most highly appre? ciated exchanges. The election in this State on the first Tuesday in this month for State and County officers and five members of Con? gress was as quiet and peaceable as any general election ever held in the State. Tbe Radicals were completely demoral? ized, from the fact that their heretofore corrupt leaders had fled from the State for fear of indictment and the punish? ment which outraged justice would in? flict upon them. The Northern Radicals must blame their own party for the over? whelming defeat of the party in this State at the late election. Grant, for eight years, with the army of the United States, sustained in power such men as Scott, Moses and Chamberlain, who preyed upon the people of the State, de? stroyed its credit, pilfered its treasury, and filled all the departments of the State government with as ignorant, vicious and corrupt set of official miscre? ants its ever cursed any country. The enlightened sentiinont of the country de? manded that the United States army should no longer be used to sustain in power high officials who, under the sanc? tion of law, oppressed and robbed the people, who held their offices not by vir? tue of the will or the interest of the peo? ple, but by virtue of Federal bayonets; and hence as soon as tbe army was with? drawn the leaders, appalled with fear and terror at their crimes, fled, and their party, no longer having the army to sus? tain it, met with merited defeat. It is uot surprising that the Democratic vic? tory in the State was so decisive, when the mountain of corruption which crush? ed the Radicals is considered.

JURED WHILE HUNTING. Special Dispatch to the News and Courier. Columbia, S. C, November 8. While hunting deer with a party of friends in the lower portion of this coun? ty yesterday, the mule that Governor Hampton was riding became frightened and, the bridle breaking, the Governor leaped from the saddle, receiving severe iujuries iu his fall. His right leg was broken in two places below the knee with the bones protruding, and the ankle also is badly injured. He was brought to Columbia this moruing and is now lying at home. The prospect is that he will be confined to his bed for a long period later. The following particulars in relation to the serious accident which befell Gover? nor Hampton yesterday were obtained from a member of his family, and will be read with painful interest. The Governor left Columbia on Wednesday afternoon on his way to meet a party of gentlemen who had arranged for a deer hunt in the Waterec swamp next day, and had invited him to be present. Spending the night at the residence of Mr. Spcigner, a few miles distant from the appointed rendezvous, Governor Hampton, next morning, (Thursday,) exchanged his horse for a young half-broken mule, and proceeded alone towards the place where he expect? ed to join the other members ?f his party. Just before reaching there, how? ever, the pack of hounds, already on hot scout, passed within hearing, and the Governor leaving the road followed them until he obtained a shot at the flying deer. Soon after this, finding himself involved in the thick undergrowth of the swamp, he leaned forward and threw bis bridle reins over a small limb prelimina? ry to dismounting. At this critical mo? ment, however, the miserable beast which he bestrode suddenly succeeded in releasing the reins from the bough and dashed off" through the woods. Being unable to recover the reins as quickly as was necessary to assure himself against certain injury from violent contact with tbe trunks or the overhanging limbs of the trees, Governor Hampton instantly sprang from his saddle to the ground, alighting upon bis feet, but, unfortunate? ly, with so much violence?his weight too falling mainly upon the right foot? that both the bones of the right leg were fractured just above the ankle, aud the joint itself dislocated. Finding himself suddenly disabled and left alone in the depth of the swamp, the mule too having disappeared on the instant, and so deprived bim of the only means of seeking assistance, the Gover? nor bad recourse to his hunting horn, and the gun which he had retained in his hand, and employed them for nearly two long hours in the seemingly hope? less effort to summon the help which he so sorely needed. The direction of the chase had, indeed, led the other gentle? men engaged in its pursuit to within hearing of his signals, but these very common sounds naturally enough failed to attract attention, until the frequency of the reports of the gun in such an un? usual quarter led Col.Thomas Taylor to send a colored man to inquire into the matter. This most providential messen? ger soon discovered the Governor lying on the ground in the condition described and suffering great pain, and quickly led the party to his side. The trifling circumstance deserves to be noted in this connection that after first administering to his immediate wants, bis sympathizing friends quickly observed that the sufferer, with charac? teristic coolness and nerve, had utilized the time and ammunition employed in bis hours of signaling and suffering by firing at a distant mark, which mark, it was next ascertained, was fairly riddled with balls; or as one of them afterwards amazedly declared, "he had hit the bulls eye every time I" It was now nearly C o'clock in the afternoon; the accident had occurred about 4 o'clock ; but before a removal could be etTected it was found necessary to cut a rough road through the swamp in order to allow the passage of the spring wagon, which had been meantime procured, furnished with a mattress, and brought to the nearest point of the road. This labor accomplished at last the party started to Columbia, sixteen miles distant, and reached the Governor's home a little before midnight. Medical assist? ance had been summoned, and Dr. B. W. Taylor dressed the injury temporarily. It was found that the small bone of the right leg was broken about 6ix inches above the ankle ; that the larger bone had been completely severed just above its terminus at the ankle joint, and that the upper end of the lower section had swerved from its place, and penetrating the surrounding flesh protruded into plain view. This protrusion of the bone had caused considerable loss of blood. The Governor was now left to the care of his family and friends for the night. At an early hour this morning Drs. Taylor, Trezcvarit and Talley, with the necessary apparatus, reduced the dislo? cation of the ankle. A great deal of force wiis requisite, the operation being complicated by the attendant fracture. The Governor was kept for some time under the influence of chloroform, and slept almost the remainder of the day. The latest report just received is better than was expected. If the wounds heal kindly it is expected he may be about on crutches at the end of three or four weeks; if not a longer confinement is imperative. The fact of the accident having occur? red was not known in Columbia until a late hour last night, and even then to only one or two persons. It was quickly rumored and confirmed this morning, however, and the painful news, as need scarcely be said, occasioned general and profound concern in all quarters and throughout all classes. It was stated at one time that the sur? geons in atendauce had decided upon amputating the leg, in view of the seri? ous nature of the injuries It had sustain? ed, hut direct inquiry upon this point elicted the gratifying reply, from an authoritative source, that such an oper? ation is not necessary nor contemplated. ?

C, Oct. 30. The more I see of the condition of af? fairs here the more am I convinced of the utter and entire hopclessless of the attempt of 'he Republicans to do anything as a party. They had as well disband at once, make terms with the enemy and bow to the inevitable. The record of the party is such, and the bit? terness of the whites so great, that uoth ing bearing the Republican name can survive locally in power here. Under our form of government there is abso? lutely no remedy for this, no way to pre vent'a powerful and embittered minority from overcoming a weak and defenceless majority. South Carolina is lost to the Republicans, and will hereafter be as Democratic as Georgia. I asked the postmaster here, an intel? ligent colored man, if he also thought the case entirely hopeless. He said he did. The Republican party was depart? ing this life in South Carolina about as fast as anything he knew of. If it was lawful and* possible to station the whole United States army in the State, with a detachment in each district, tho party might be saved so long as the army re? mained, but, the moment the army was withdrawn, down would come the whole fabric. It can't stand alone any more than an empty bag in a heavy wind. If there was no other objections, (and there are many,) a Democratic Congress has forbidden the use of the army for such purposes, and the Federal prosecu? tions under a section of the Revised Stat? utes don't amount to a row of [?ins. So there is no way but tu fold our arms un? der the Constitution and sec the Repub? lican party in South Carolina ground in? to the sand. But it's an ill wind that blows no good. With the end of the party here will end the race antagonism, tho riots, tli? outrages, and the massacres. These have long since ceased in Georgia, and in every other Southern State where the Republican party has not vexed the while people by existing. The hopeless condition of the blacks hero is fast draw? ing upon them, and they arc bowing to the inevitable. Hence the formation of Democratic clubs among them, and their "chars" for the Democratic speakers. But these come only from the throat. Jn his heart the darkey wishes the grand old Democratic party in perdition. The North, whence they looked for support, has abandoned them. State after State has wheeled into the Democratic column, and they submit, as they submitted in slavery, because it is their nature. Iu deed, if I was a South Carolina negro, owning no property but seven children aud two dogs, (which is the average,) and working for ten dollars a month, I don't believe I would risk my life and alienate my white neighbors in an effort to keep John Patterson in the United States Sen? ate. The very presence of Patterson in official position has caused many a poor darkey to suffer. When the whites look at this man they feel like killing six nig? gers. Nothing less will afford an escane valve for their pent-up feelings.?Red field's Letter to Cincinnati Commercial. ? The receuL election was fatal to the carpct-bag representation in the United States Senate. Conover, in Florida, and Patterson, in South Carolina, were doom? ed. Spencer, in Alabama, received sen? tence at the election last August. The last one of the carpct-bag tribe of adven? turers who engineered themselves into the Seuate by corrupting negro sufferage will disappear with the advent of the 4th of March next. No man not as cor? rupt as themselves will mourn their final disappearance from the stage of action. ?
