MEETZ, ) A . THOMAS A. t?jaaa. } StmAunm. COLUMBIA, S. C. Sunday Morning, July ll, 1869. Tho meeting of tho citizens, to be held on Monday next, at the Court House, nt 12 M., is of such signal importance that a full and earnest attention is heartily recommended. This meeting is for tho purpose of considering tho subject of State taxation iu its entire bearing-a subject in which every one is interested. It is apprehended that tho statements pronounced by Governor Scott in his ex? traordinary letter will be thoroughly sifted aud analyzed at this meeting; and acting on this presumption, we shall al? lude only to a few of tho salient points of this wonderful tissue of insolence, ar? rogance aud falsehood of Governor Scott. Ho says in paragraph 2: "The course provided by law in such cases is for the complainant to appeal to tho County Auditor, with a statement of bis case, who will forward it to the Au? ditor of State, who has full power to make any abatement or correction which, in his judgment, is just and proper. As to the general chargo, which is inferrible from your note, that tho taxation is too heavy, I havo to say that tho amount provided for is required by tho necessi? ties of tho State, and must bo collected to meet its exigencies, and to fulfill effi? ciently its engagements and responsibili? ties." The Auditor of State, by this process, being resolved into tho final Court of Errors, and beyond which this ingonious adviser does not caro to go. Suppose tho Auditors do not corroct or abate, but confirm the actsjof tho assessor and board -a way of thinking which wo believe is normal with the now auditors of this Stato-Gov. Scott reasons that tho un? fortunate tax-payer has gotten to the end of his road, and completely ignores the existonoe of such institutions as tho courts of justice of South Carolina. What are the exigencies and necessities of the State, which tho Executive ?w?.?..-,*^?,.;. ~~- .... v fluently describee in genere) tonna? Borne of them-a e-mali portion of the number-occur to ua at thia moment. Bureau, "thy name is legion;" agricultu? ral, ?migration, freedmen, land commis? sioner, constabulary and tba elevation oflthe State bonds-to which, it is whis? pered, the Executive entertains a peca liar aud tender interest. To do just loe to these relations of the State, says this inexorable fate, ."you mest pay your taxes." - In reference to the over-valuation of property by the Assessors, the Governor expresses himself: . ? "And notwithstanding the lamentations about the over-valuation of lands, there are but few of the owners who would con? sent to sell them at their assessed valua? tion. The low prices occasionally brough t at sheriffs' aud bankrupts' sales are no criterion of the value of the property disposed of, as there is generally a na? tural sympathy among the people pre? sent for the unfortunate debtor, anet he is permitted to purchase his property, without opposition, at his own price." There are thousands of tax-payers who would gladly and cheerfully sell their property for the value assessed, but that is not in the programme of Scott Sc Co. to pay the inflated valuation, nor even to make a fair and equitable bid for the property-for why pay anything approx? imating to the real values of the article, when by quietly waiting, the unfortunate viotim shall become entangled in the meshes of their web, and iu due course of law, fall an easy prey to the Land Com? missioner, who awaits tho certain and sure denouement of tho drama. The Executive actually trades on the hu? manity of our relations, and reprobates that sympathy and 3harity which is a crowning glory of mnnkind, whioh prompts the outsido world to restrain their bids from affecting the unfortunate debtor. What can a peripatetic politi? cian, an itinerant peddler for office, know of tho kindly relations with whioh we Southern people regard each other's distresses. Gov. Scott affects a spirit of candor and frankness, and writes: "There is no doubt that there aro im? perfections iu the tax law, aud irre? gularities in the execution of it. For the present, individuals have the righi of appeal against what they deem in? equitable aud unjust, and I have nc doubt such alterations and modifications of the law as will be shown to be ne? cessary, will be made at the next session of the Legislature." We agree with bim os to the imperfec Hons and irregularities, but we know bj sad experience that every flaw in th< construction and execution of this infa mous Act militates to our prejudice, anc inures to tho benefit of Governor" Scot1 aud his parasites. What the Execntiv? terms "unpatriotic efforts being mnde t( induce the people to believe tho systen of taxation ns unjust and oppressive" which wo cull the indignant effort fa existence-ho uses with ingenuity,1 ' fo an implied panegyric upon the Legisla turo and R. K. Scott, for lifting the ere dit of tho State, the vindication of he financial resources, tho retiring of th floating debt, and a host of public bone fits, including tho enhancement of th value of the State bonds, for which Gov Scott entertains so parental au affection not forgetting the Blue Ridge Boad which, too, has a home in his Excellen cy's expansive heart. The wish whicl the Governor expresses for the prosperi ty of our State sounds, in the languag of our own McDuffic, "like the bugl blast of the robber baud." There sha! not remain a doubt in regard to ono fea turo of tho bill, declares our Executive You shall pay your taxes, and the duiy o tho tax gatherers is plain and imperative to wit: "It is to press their payment steadil and perseveringly, and to rigidly enforc tho penalty of twenty-five per cent, o delinquents. If these officers aro intel rnpted or interfered with, it is inonu bent on mo to see that the laws of th State are promptly and faithfully ex< cuted." This dilemma has but one hom, an thc unfortunate tax-payer is upon it. H must pay his taxes, or have "twonty-fh per cent, rigorously enforced," and the pay tho taxes, with tho addition of tl black mail. Should these officers be ii tortured with in pursuance of their di ties, declares this mighty potentate, ' ('l'?tat c'est moi,') shall see that tho ku aro faithfully executed." So intimate blended is his Excellency with the Sta and her finances, so special his intere thereto, that whilst condemning tl morality, wo acknowledge tho positic taken per sc is natural and what wo e pocted from Governor R. K. Scott. Tl allusion of tao Executivo to factious pc sons, and his threat in reference to tl interposition of tho Courts, is, in 01 opinion, tho blackest featuro of his lc ter. Does ho pronounce factious tho persons laboring under on exhorbita and oppressive system of taxation, a pealing for relief to those sources whi in every civilized country constitute t bulwark of civil liberty? Can he, wi any show of decency, call those reckle ?and thoughtless moo, who cry to the Courte-tho sacred shrine of justice, the borne of protection and guardianship of individual right and property, the insti? tutions foundod and fostered by th* united wisdom of centuries-for relief, and who only ask a fair adjudication and decision noon the issue submitted? It seems so. It is BO, tor this Carolina we beg pardon, thia Ohio-Czar fulmi? nates his imperial ukase and any*. "Con? sult the Courts, and I will convene an extra meeting of the Legislature and pass such laws as will superoede the de? cisions of the Courts." He tells us the Auditors of Oounty and State shall be sufficient to decide the issues. EsBay the Courts, your natural defence, and I over-ride you, the Courts, and aught else, by the weight of my iron hand. And this new Aminidab Sleek is impious enough to invoke Divine aid to countenance and aid his wicked designs; he unblushingly alludes to open vio? lence and covert fraud; ond, with a rare humility, proclaims that South Carolina, in "my keeping," has found her savior. We know not where the "responsibility and odium," of which Governor Scott so flippantly discourses, "may end." We do know where it commences, and we have our own peculiar faith in a Di? vine Providence, which will at some day bring to Scott and his co-pluuderers the end which they so richly deserve. We have written of this infamous letter and its infamous author with no "hated breath." We have called attention to his scandalous, odious threat of suppres? sion of the Courts, and we conclude by saying, Governor Scott's own lotter fur? nishes tho scourge in every "houest hand to lash the - through the land." At a sale of stocks and bonds in Au? gusta, Ga., on tho Sth, the following South Carolina bonds were disposed of: $20,000 South Carolina war bonde, registered-lot nt 12cents per 100, to G. A. Allen. 810,700 Greenville and Columbia Rail? road certificates, endorsed by State of South Carolina-81,0U0 to C. F. McCoy at 05; Joseph S. Rean, 89,500 at 05; C. F.

F. McCuy at 82%. An exchange has the following: "It is said that there are more editors unmar? ried than any othor class of professional men." For tho reason, we suppose, that the majority of them are men of fine sen? timent, nnd do not wish to starve any? body's sister. A gentle swain, enamored of a Miss Bread, perpetrates the following; "While belles their lovely graces spread, And fops around them flutter, I'll bo content with Anna Bread, And won't have any but her."

The Gorernor and tia? TUM. MB. EDITOR: The man who has been elevated J (?) by the votes of seventy of eighty thousand ignorant negroes to the position of Governor of this State, came ont, in your paper of the 8th, with an article in reply to a note previously ad? dressed to him by three of the tax-payers of Colombia, in whioh he makes a weak effort to jnstify the course of his State Board ol Equalization in nearly doubling the value of the taxable property of the State. His first ground of exonse is the ignorance, whioh ha characterizes by the milder term inexperience, of the assessors of the taxablefproperty of the State. Now, if ignorant and unsuitable men were appointed to assess the property, who is responsible for their appointment? Why. Bobert Iv. Scott, and he alone; for it wns he who appointed them, and it was his duty to know that a man was competent before appointing him to an office of so much importance. The writer of this article happens to know that in many instances competent men were re? commended to him by the Representa? tives to tho Legislature from various Counties, and that he paid no more at? tention to their recommendations than he would have, paid to tho barking of a dog. Now, the presumption is n fuir one, that these Representatives knew better than did his Excellency, who, of the citizens of their Counties, were pro? perly qualified for tho discharge of the duties of the office of assessor. Why, then, did he not give some heed to their recommendations? Simply, because these Representatives, who made the recom? mendations, were Democrats, and repre-, sented a white constituency, and there were iu their Counties a few contemptible scalawags, who bud to be fed from the public crib, no matter whether they were qualified for an office or not; aud so they were appointed to tho offices for which they possessed, according to Gov. Scott's own showing, no qualification. The Go? vernor vouchsafes, in his article, the in? formation that the bouds of the State have risen in value, in a comparatively short period, from 25 cents to 73 cents on the dollar. But there is ono point, on which ho makes no revelation, on which some of tho tax-payers would like to have a little light, merely to gratify an inno? cent curiosity; and that is, how many thousands of dollars worth of these State bonds B. K. Scott, the carpet-bag stock? jobber, bought while tboy wero down to 23 cents, about the payment of which Governor Scott is so very solicitous, and expresses so much patriotic determina? tion, now that they have so greatly ap? preciated in value. Perhaps a revelation on this poiut might tend to enlighten us a little as to tho cause of Gov. Scott's great anxiety to have the property of the State assessed at its maximum value. But the Governor seems to have be? come somewhat inflated with the idea which gave rise to a somewhat famous declaration by one who had rather sud? denly attained to a position of eminence: "1 am tho State." Ho seems very con? fident that he has all the trumps in his own hand, inasmuch as be proceeds, in a very dogmatio manner, to inform us how he intends to operate the machinery by whioh to squeeze the taxes out of ns. He hints, by way of inducing the eels to lie still aud be skinned quietly, that the operation may become much moro pain? ful, should tboy happen to squirm a little nuder tho infliction. Ho suj's: "It may bo that repressive measures of tho cha? racter alluded to, should there be a ne? cessity of resorting to them, will add largely to the burdens of the tnx-payerff, and be productive of agitation and ex? citement." By way of administering a counter auodyno to the Governor's nerves, we would merely suggest to him that, should he attempt, through the machinery of a corrupt and venal Legis? lature, to substitute bis dictum for l&w, in order to torture the already over-bur? dened tax-payers of this impoverished land into a compliance with his avari? cious designs, and thus produce "agita? tion and excitement," tho tendency of such a couree might jwssibly bo, instead of running our State bonds, by tho 1st of January, up "practically to par," to run them down to twenty-five cents, or even less, on the dollar.
