oyrtitJMBIA, 8: C: Saturday Morning, January 3, 1874. Tho PrapMid aCMite OoBvemlon. Tlie Hon. VV. D. P?rier, President of the Tax-payers' Convention, which met in this oity in May, 1871, and ndjonrned subject to the call of the Executive Committee, has requested the Commit? tee to meet in Charleston, on the 15tu instant, to consider the proposition to re-aseemblo the Convention and enlarge the uumber of delegates to it. The sug? gestion haa been made in our columns, by a responsible, patriotio and highly intelligent gentleman, that the order of the grange in every Bounty and the farmers' clubs throughout the State should appoint delegates, with alter? nates, to assemble in Columbia, on the 15th instant, to issue an address to their fellow-oitizenH of other States, and to petition Oongresa jfor relief from the in? tolerable evils to which they aro sub? jected. To thia suggestion, several cor? dial and earnest responses have been made. Only one journal in the State has taken exceptions to it, and that, as wa showed at the time, upon tho insuffi? cient ground that the graDge was de? barred from engaging in political dis onsaioD. It seemed to us, however, that our friend. "Vidotte" did not lay a suffi? ciently brood basis for a convention to stand upon, But, as we said afterwards, in explanation of his meaniog.it waa bis aa well as our purpose to start with the designation of the most prominent ?organized body in the State which {airly ?represented its property, intelligence, candor and obaraoter. Onoo the move? ment was fairly initiated, and public in? terest aroused to the importance of the mode of aotion contemplated, it was ex? pected that other elements would come forward, widen its scope, and add their .force and momentnm to it. It was the intention to get the fullest concert of aotion iu banding together all available and reputable influences in opposition to the prevailing corruption, and in sending forth to tho world such a voice of power and truth as would place our cause fairly before it for its just judg? ments , We are gratified that the Charles? ton.. Board of Trade has moved so promptly and efficiently in the same direction, and that tho respected and honored President of tho Tax-payers' Convention has summoned its Exeentive Committee to consult upon the expe? diency of re-assembling iL He shows himself-'to be in sympathy with the great heart and fixed purpose of the people. And it is equally wise uud thoughtful ip him to suggest an enlarge? ment of the body Which it is proposed to convene. The convention of 1871 was barren of immediate prautical results, or rather, it failed-to sscure thoso valuable results which wero wilhiu its grasp. We uoed not dwell upon the causes of this short? coming. ' They in no way reflected upon its ability, dignity, patriotism or ear? nestness. L'hese were conspicuous throughout its eutire sessions. We have gouo over its papers und reports with cure, and iuterest, oud dud them -fully up to the mark of the great under? taking they bad in hand. They have a high value even now. The conven? tion, as then organized, and in itaptr sonnet, is the heat nucleus about whioh a real vjouveutiou can now be gathered. We trust that, in the terms of tho call to be mndo, should it bo deemod advisa? ble, provision may be afforded to sup? plement its membership, r.nd that a body will be got together which will be strictly representative of tho great inte? rests, the honor, the ability, tho patriot? ism, and especially the stern determina? tion of the people. Let them sen to it that they select their ablest und most faithful men to represent them. -.-??-> Tue Immigration ltcport. ? We treated fn onr last the absurd uud hostilo views of the Union-Herald against the introduction of immigrants, delivered as if aimed at tho Republican Printing Company, but reaily meant for the people of the State, who are calliug on ull hands for intelligent, steady aud reliable labor.. The Herald opposes it? self to their wishes, and plants its bat? teries directly in the path of progress aud improvement. 'In answering it, we have assumed that the publication of statistics, which show our varied re? sources, would be both timely aud in? structive. The idea of such a publica? tion waajiot a bad one; but wo are free to aay, that the plan was not such i\J to command approval, nor has it bee;> faithfully and economically oarried out. Tho amount appropriated ia at least three or four times greater than was neoessary. Roports oonld havo been procured fiom tho Counties for tho ave? rage sum of $100 each. The services of a competent compiler might havo been secured for 81,000 or SI,GOO. 100,000 copiwrof a volume of 160 page* of valu? able matter might have been printed and published for $10,000 or $1*2,000. The whole expebse might thus have been kept within. 925,000. The news? papers ail over the State and in other States would have reproduced a large portion of it, and its useful figures, facta and disooBsions have been extensively published to the world. What has been done already, f e don't know. But the appropriation of $75,000, for the pur? pose specified, is ont of all bounds. If the Printing Company be wise and capable of reading the aigna of tho times, it will studiously und faithfully endeavor to discharge the business com? mitted to it. It need not expend tho large fund voted towards this purpose. Whatever it does, the amount and value o. the publication shonld correspond to the expense charged for it. It may de? pend opon it, that it will bo closely eyed and held to a strict accountability. If the measure was originated merely to bring grist to the company, it will ap? pear in the character of its work, and will be exposed. It is ite duty to use the opportunity to turn a dubious en? terprise to the publio good, and to keep within reasonable aud proper bounds of expenditure, disbursed strictly in furtherance of the professed object. We are not amongst those who disap? prove of the scheme to procuro and publish statistical and other matter uf interest from all the Counties of the State, with the viow of circulating it to influence immigrants to come to us. We think the idea tho best that the pre? sent party in power here ever anted upon. We oao conceive that a most valuable, interesting and instructive volume could thus be prepared. And we are suro that it would do great good. It would be timely now. Not only do foreigners and Northerners need suob a work. We need it ourselves. We really do not know or properly appre? ciate onr advantages, in the prepara? tion of tho material of 6uoh a work tho best talent and most industrious research ought to be employed in the suverul Counties, and a man with high talent for arrangement und condensation charged with the office of preparing it for the press. A very useful hook could thus be produced, and at a small cost. The Tax-Payers' Convention.?Tho members of the Executive Committee of the Tax-payers' Convention are re? quested to meet at the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, in Charleston, on Tuesday, 13th day of January, in? stant, at 12 M., for the purpose of con? sulting upon tho proposal of the Cham? ber of Commeroe, that the convention be re-assembled "to take into considera? tion the present condition of the tax? payers of the Stats," und also a propo siticu to eularge the numbers of the said convf jtion. The following gentle? men compose the Executive Committee: Jam;a Chesnnt, Johnson Hagood, Thon. Y. Simons, U. W. Dudley, E. B. C. Oaah, P. F. Warley, A. P. Aldrioh, Henry Gourdin, H. C. Smart, William Wallace, B. L>. McCanghriu, T. J. Goodwyn, J. L. Westmoreland, A. H Davega, A. B. Woodruff, John L. Man? ning, M. L. Bonbam, A. Burl; W. D. Porter, President. United States Count ?Tbo report of Registrar Seubrook on the petitiou of Dnueun Maroni son against Benjamin 3. Ellis, bankrupt, was confirmed. The report of Registrur Seubrook on tho pe? tition of Buckley, Williug & Co., iu the matter of W. Li. J. Reed & Sou, to se? cure trust funds, was confirmed. The Clr.rk of the Court was ordered to give notice to tho lieu creditors of Wm. Hat ton, bankrupt, to provo claims beforo Rogistrar Jaeger; that tho bankrupt answer the petition of H. C. Hoher, guardian, for tho sale of tho runt estate and personal property of tho bankrupt within twenty dayp, und that th? Regis? trur report the lions established aud which portion of tho property ia ex? empted as a homestead, &c. The pe? tition of James Robiusou was referred to Registrar Clawson. "A Bmorc."?The British captain who ordered tho Spaniards of Santiago to ceaso slaughtering the Yirginius people, or ha would bombard tho town, ii being recognized by sympathetic Amoricaus. Tho Western papers announce that tho residents of Virginia City, Nevada, pro? pose to present a silver briok to this bravo oflioor for his manly aotion ia the case of the Virginius. The brick will bear this iusorsptiuu: "Lamberton Lor? raine, you are a 'briok;' this is another? presented by Americans who love huma? nity and its manly defenders. Virginia City, Nevada, TJ. S. A., 1873." The testimonial is characteristically Western. Tue Confederates in Congress and "the Borbau" Men.?The Congression? al Direotory is now oomploted and ready for the press. In making up its biographical sketches of members, tho fact has been developed that about forty held military or civil offices in tho late Confederacy, and also that a considera? ble numbor, especially from tho South, wero conneoted with tho FreodmouV Bureau. Tho Confederates havo au? thorized a full statement of thoir official relations with the rebellion; bat those who hold positions in the Frcedmen's Bureau, have, it is stated, without ex? ception, indicated a desire that no men? tion should be mutle of tbnt f.tot. Some damaging disclosures are made in the Washington letter* to the New York Tribune ood the Cincinnati Commercial, not onljr in regard to Attorney-General Williams, bat other member* of Grant's Gabioet, as well as the praoiioes which prevail in the management of tbo White House. President Grant was re-elected on the promise of economy, and these letters gtve us Rome idea of the economy he and hie subordinates are practicing* The Tribune navt?: "Tue iDv'eatig?iiuii 01 the charges ugainst Attorney-General Williams promises to briog to light practices iu nearly, if not quito all, the executive departments, which uro cer? tainly not consistent with n strict eco? nomy, if, iudcod, they uro with honest administration. The payment of $1,000 for a carriage for the Atturuey-General'8 family, is but. an ordiuury affair. In the Treasury Department, sumo of the ex penditures are of the most extravagant character. Our Washington correspond? ence instances 340,000 for temporary oleiks, 850,000 for atationpry, $40.000 fur furnitu.ro and carpels, ?50,000 for | coal, wood, gas, tumblers, hatchets, pi tellers, towels, etc.; 865,000 for uowr-| papers, repair of wagons, cure of horses., j brooms, brushes, matches, soap, etc.; and it is stated that the immes of private servants are borne ou tho pay rolls of tbo Government. There seems to be a | complete system of pioking and steal? ing, high und low. Is it any wonder that Congressmen speculate iu Credit Mobilier and vote themselves back pay iu such an atmosphere? Or that liof-s | Shepherd is confirmed? Or that every i day brings news of the absconding of defaulting oQicials? Aud yet Cougrea? is told that there is no pOHHtblo chance for retrenchment, except by stopping work ou the public buildings." Fataij Affray at GnaNiTKviLtiK ? The Aiken Tribune, of Saturday, gives J the following version ef the uufortu uate Bbooting iu Graniteville, <>u the 25tb. The Tribune says: "Grauiteville contributes her quota to the list of outrages by which thu fair mime of .our County was smirched on Christmas day. A difficulty occurred there, that day, between Peter Renew and Giddy Pardue, in which tho former was shot, and it is thought mortally wounded, by the latter. Renew was drunk and very turbuleut, aud, alter two utterupts to ahoot other people, en? gaged iu an altercation with Wesley, tho lather of Giddy. Whilst this was pro? gressing, some ono kuocked Renew down. Hh urcse aud tired three times at Wesley Pardue, when Giddy Pardue enne on the scene and shot him iu tho abdomen. It is believed thut the wound will prove mortal. Nu arrests have yet been made." We have since learned, from a gentle? man from Grauiteville, that Reuew died ou Saturday night last. Sickles.?Even the Now York Times rejoices at the Cuban embroglio, if for no other reason than that it has resulted in the removal and disgrace of Dan. Sickles. Dan. began life us a New* York rough. He will now have a obance of returning to the dirt from whence he sprang. Tho Times dismisses him con? temptuously thus: "We confess that w3 are heartily glad the public service is rid of bim, aud wo eurneatly trust that we bare now beurd thu hut of him, or, at leset, that he will not be chosen again to represent the Americau people, or auy section of them, iu uny capacity whatever. Wo may now state thut the recent negotia? tions with Spaiu were carried on with? out reference to Sickles in any way?his own bad judgment and worse temper having rendered it impossible for the Spanish Minister to hold any intercourse with him at a very early day. We may almost be thankful for this Virginias affair, if it ha9 been the means of dig? ging a grave for Sickles." . Tue Famine in Iowa ?Tho destitute families in North-west Iowa number us (follows: Iu Osceolu County, 200 fami? lies; in Lyons County, 100; Cherokee, 10; Sioux.
