?OLUMBIA, S. O. .???tarday Morning. October 17,1874. Pawom or Tiger r *?no -ring ?nd riog organ are very :soah puzzled over Edgefleld. Fora vinie, the letter of Mr. Tillman was paraded as evidence of a possum po Sky, ?ad now we have spread oat oer ~3&ia resolutions of Gen. Gary, offered fJk Ahe mass mooting on last sales-day, s& proof paramount of a tiger polioy. jfcdoes not aoem, to ordinary appre .?aoosions, that both can prevail at the -touaia time, or be seriously entertained "itr the same community. Poseum and 'Ziger, we think, oould not ran on'the :-fluae sohedale. The resolutions of H55eau Gary have not received the on . ?joroemont of the people, as it is not i?&ted that they were adopted. So therefore, they are only the expres -jECHs of individual opinion. The -sscoout of it is, then, that Mr. Tillman jShinke -the poaaurn polioy tho best, ? ^hilo Gen. Gary advocates a schemo S&at -is somewhat different. We shall not pretend to judge between them, or ?t> discuss any of the features of either ^lan of speculations. They are both x? a oharaoter to invite Badioal com astent; both oapable of being perverted ia the interests of liadioal prejudice, tod both weapons whioh oan bo *iiroitly turned against the true into .sects of the people. We regret them ia -this aooount; aud there are even .-rftrongor objections to some portions of "Shorn. Bat no sensible man oan object its tho first resolution offered by Gen. ftarj, to reduce tho acreage planted in Mtton, for 1875, one-third, and to isoreeaa the acreage in oereals one third -or more. That was the advioe sf the "National Grange to Southern planters last year. It has boen our j-dvico to the planting interests for -xoreral years. We shall never have ?ceosperity, no natter what the cha oacter of the State Government may ?ve, until we raise our breadBtnffs, meat, .xad, in genera), everything necessary .io seoare home comforts that the soil neill produoe. There is nothing politi xal or objeotionable in that. It would 3? aa instructive example to tho whole .?St*.to. It would operate a redaotion 9*. icbor now employed in making oot Saa, bat that labor would be put to . fcfiUer^ise.-and would go to the estab? lishment of independent homesteads. . Tbc State Board of Equalisation, L it-'ia not generally known that, bo ji?es the Governor of the State, the j??eretaty of State and the Oomptroller , tarinoral, ex officio members of the ^State Board of Equalisation, it ia re? insured by the Statutes that there shall ho elected -one member, from each Con ?peeaional District. The qualified ? jfteoteze of each Congressional District . jfaaAJ, *atthe general election, in 1874, -wad every fourth year thereafter, eleot .jmrsons to serve as members of this 3&Mta Board. Only in ease of vacancy st. each office, by death, resignation or iiiaorwioe, -has the Governor the power \ ?e-appoint persons to fill it. We called ?js??antion to this law last winter, and -sfeowed how it had been violated aud r*fcw it was meant to be violated. The . JL-iAisa incumbent on this Board are iiighly important, it is to meet in Co iffissbia, (the law says on or before the I?*h October, bat that is, of course, im yeaaiule;) aud the members take an .juih or affirmation that they will, to Hfira best of their ability, equalize the T?laation of real property among the several Counties, towns, cities and vil Ls^jee in the State. They are to receive . >5r*m tho Comptroller-General the ab .??Usiots of real property transmitted to ii?m by the several County Auditors, *-ad equalise them according to certain general rules laid down for their ao .. It will be seen that the office is one it much oonsequence to a people over /&xrdened with tazaiion. The provi je?vQ? of the law constituting it have 3BS032 deliberately set aside. There ?ij,v? been no elections, appointments ?nuve boen made without authority, no s&tix has been administered, no ab .riracta of real property sent up by County Auditors have boon considered -&etd no equalization really effeoted. ?Tow, wo snderstand, there ia some die s-oeition to have the elections, and to a?4?t Conservatives to the position, in trder that they may look after tho pro? tection of property. All that is very <wslL and wo hopo it will be done. But iao inactivity of those who direct oar 4&a3za and who should have attended 'bo the matter before this and ordered Sae election, shows that tho low is one "Which they find inconvenient and do? lore not to see enforced. They would evidently prefer to give it the go-by. trust, however, that it will be **lled np, considered, revived and put -ist? effect, and for this purpose it is that we bave made thie contribution and indulged in these reminiscences. Frivolous Objections. At a speech in Yorkville Mr. Thomp? son, of the Union-Herald, assumed that the Conservative Convention which .met here last week had no right to en? gage in any political aotion. HiB ground of objeotion was that the Tax Unions arc non-political, that they are a protective society to guard the rights and interests of tho tax-payers. There is a misconception here. Tbo Con? servative Convention was different in its organization from the Tax-Union Convention. It was not made cp from representatives of the Tax-Uuions, nor was tho Tax Union machinery used even to call the convention into being. They are distinct from each other. Bat we would not consider such aotion as was taken by tho Con? servative Convention improper to be taken by a Tax-Union Convention. It was not political in any senso that could bo objected to. Its action wus merely negative. It refrained from potting candidates into the field be? cause some were already nomiuuted whom it oould support. Wo do not think that tbo exorcise of so small a right as that oan be successfully con? troverted. Radicals, however, think that Conservatives have no rights left at all. In their judgment they cannot bear arms, resist thieves, or decry cor? ruption. Now their right to abstain from nominutiog candidates is con? tested. By-the-way, we should like to know of Mr. Thompson wbethor he yet thinks that the true solution of oar troubles can only be found in re? sisting the payment of taxes while thieves have ^control of tbo govern? ment? Does be still bold that to be the most effectual modo of guarding "tbe rights und interests of the tux payers?" <-??-? Tlic- Wumltjrliijj JUckty. Hannibal White, at a political meet? ing in York, stated that "Jud&'e Mackey had but recently told him that ander no oiroumstances would ho sup? port Kersbaw in preference to Wal? lace."

We refuse to believe it even upon tho testimony of Hannibal, eon of Hamilcar, bearing the strange sur? name of White. "Under no circum? stances," did you say, Hannibal?

Mb Editor: "Tax-Payer" having lost his temper and overlooked tbe aabjeut of his first letter to make n per? sonal attack on tbe writer of tbo arti? cle signed, "Ooe Who Expects to Pay His Taxes" and other parties, I will simply dismiss him to the oblivion be deserves by refusing to keep up a cor? respondence with one whose spleen overflows ia every line, as I am no match for "Tax-Payer" in '?scurrility" or "low abuse."

As regards myself, I will simply say that taxes for this year are not yot due, (a fact wbioh, if "Tax-Payer" really paid taxes, ho would certainly have known.)

His wife woald be glad to obtain information of his whereabouts. North and Soulh-To tike Point. We find a very suggestive article iu the New York Times, from whioh we ouii a few sentences. The Times be? gins by asserting tbat the negro mast be protected in bis rights, and adefs: "But to sit down and invent stories of murders, or to exaggerate tbo ru mors wbioh oomo in all Bortjj of wild shapes from Alabama or Louisiana? this is a work which we should have thought uo man of ordinary humanity would be willing to undortake. The uttompt to. set North against south, or white BgainBt blaok, is not only not justified by the plea of 'political ueces Bity,' bu^that plea only aggravates the offence. The sooner the whole couu try is at poace the better will it bo for tho people. As we poiuted out the other day, we cannot afford to have a large section of the Union lyiug iu a state of prostration, not to say of abso? lute beggary. When the South was prosperous, wo derived practical ad? vantages from her prosperity. The Southern people came hero for many of tho necessities aud almost all the luxuries of lifo. That sourco of trade is goue, and oau anybodysuppo.se that the mercuntilo oommauity docs not fcol the loss? Tbe eil'ort to excite fresh ill-feeling between tbe North aud South is, therefore, shortsighted, viewed merely in its relation to our own interests?even if we did not choose to consider it from a higher ground." All this is true; und as to the busi? ness relations of North and South, un? less a different polioy towards tho South bo pursued, thoro will be yet worso news from the South for our Northern friends. Tbero will be re? pudiation. Not repudiation from ma? lice or viudictiveness, but repudiation from necessity. With regard to tbe source of the ru? mors of tbo reputed Southern cruel? ties, the Times makes these sensible remarks: "Wo kavo noticed one very curious fact, und it is this: The reports of a 'reigu of terror,' and all the rest of it, uevercome from the State iu which they aro suid to have broken out. Almost all these blood-and-tbuuder stories are, oddly euoagh, dated from Washing? ton. You read in tbe boad Hue 'Fright? ful Atrociti(.B iu Alabama?More Ne? groes Butchered.* But when you come to look a little lower down, you find that the dismal tale is dated from Washington; and this, we must con? fess, strikes us as very suspicious. Some weeks ugo we despatched several special correspondents to Alabama and Louisiana?men on whom we knew tbat we could depend. Wo bavo re? ceived and plaoed before our readers throe or four letters from them, but al? though they show (what wo all kuew before) that Southern society is utterly disorganized, yet wo cannot see any evidence of a reign of terror." Tbe Times says tbe Republican party began the work of reconstruc? tion and will be held responsible for its successful accomplishment. That responsibility it never can fulfill. Its reconstruction bad the fatal sordid seed in it of wbioh it must perish. The object to gain votes by giving tbe negro tbe ballot, all unfit as be was for it, is the great and ruinous error of the whole system. Tbe Times says: "A perfect project for restoring peace, order, and prosperity to the South woald have oalled for something more than human ingenuity or wis? dom to devise." And tbe piao for gaining Republican votes by making the negroes votors was tbe best thing that "human inge? nuity" ooald invent for defeating uny "project" that might have boeu pro? posed. Bat for that plan, for tbe gratification of party greed and parti? san rapacity, the Republicans could have made, probably, a wiee system of reconstruction. Party depravity is at tbo bottom of all oar woes. Finally, the Times announces the following proposition, tho truth of wbioh none can deny: "Wo shall never have a united country while one section of tho popu? lation is being bounded on to crush tbe other section. Party interests and politioa afford no excuse for a crime of that kind." Here is the whole matter ia a nut? shell. And when shall this bounding on of ono seotion of tbe Union to crush tbo other cense? The qucstioa is for the North to answer. -?1 FuitonaoTT, Benedict & Co., Charles? ton, S.

D. 017 Tho New Orleans Republican records tho presence there of three or four thousand regular United States troops, with eight ships of war, and says that two battalions of cavalry arc on their way tbitber. All this is to restore a usurpation wbioh can only be kept alivo by suoh means. Diphtheria in a mild form has made its appearance in Kingstreo and sur? rounding country. All cases have been uttooesafally treaied. Fett Sketcli. The New York Herald contains inte vesting sketches of tho Conservative State Convention recently assembled in Colombia, which do ample justice to the ability, dignity, patriotism and high oharaoter of the delegates, and dieoover in their action evidences of far reaohing judgment and praotical statesmanship. The following deecrip ' tion will be reoognized as only just aud trno: The frantic efforts ot the Cbamber lain-Patterson ring in South Carolina to preveub a fusion between tho Repub? licans, ludepeodenta and the whole body of the Conservatives has been a complete failuro. The ready accept? ance by the former body of Gen. Ker shaw, tho Conservative leader, as cun didate for Congress in tho Fourth Dis? trict, extinguished tho last prejudice among tho whites, if there ever was uuy, und to-day a highly respuetublo convention at Columbia adopted, with? out a dissenting voice, the white aud tho negro oaudidato, with the sinaple platform of ??honesty und economy." Tho Conservative Convention was one oi tho most respectable, tho most hope? ful und tho least partisan which has ever been held iu the South siuce the war. Tbo helpless minority of the Conservative vote iu itself, und the riotous legislation and uiliuiuislratiuu of the State, have rallied all thinking people upon tbo one issue of their in? ternal domestic affairs. Absolute con? cord exists umong tbo whole bulk of whites, tbe great hotly of the blacks und fully one-half the leaders of tbo Republican party. The regulars ure left to their organization, their patron? age and their chicanery. If the United Sfutes Goverumeut will iusuru u fair election by means of inspectors ap? pointed by United Status Judges, South Carolina will probably exhibit tho unexpected tableau of tho most Africauized of reconstructed States a voluntary convert to order and reform. No crowd of political servitors followed them, and few spectators were present; no cheers were given. A quiet, chastened spirit, almost religious iu its expression, tbe culture and character of the whito people of tho State was represented, and I could readily be? lieve tbo assurance given mo that neither before nor since tbe war had u body of men of better appoarauue over been assembled iu South Carolina. Tbe appearance of the convention was iu the highest degreo respectable. I have attended for several years tbo re? nowned conventions of tbe State of Massachusetts ut Worcester, where, it is said, the best yeomanry in America are brought together. Tbe convention of the South Carolina Conservatives was certainly not iuferior, although much smaller. A very notable pro? portion of very young men, most of whom had carried a musket, filled the front row. An Autumn Su??estion.?Now, as heavy fogs urise und searching winds commeuoe to blow; now, as tbe human body, exhausted like inanimate nature by tbe beats of summer, begins to wilt and droop; now, ere the inolement weather makes its trying onset; now is the time for a preparatory course of the host acclimatizing medicine in ex? istence, liostetter's Stomach Bitters. Fever and Ague is rampant in all parts of the country. Quinine, the physicians admit, will not quell the phase of the disease which at present pervades the entiro West. It is well that it is so, for the remedy (so-called) is deadlier than the malady. Bnt if qninine is inefficient in intermittent fevers, liostetter's Bitters is irresisti? ble. It would bo safe to make a con? tract, under heavy penalties, that any given "fever-and-agae district" should be exempted from the disorder for any particular time, provided every inha? bitant would take the Bitters accord? ing to directions daring the term of contract. There lias never been an in? stance in which this sterling invigo rant and anti-ferbile medicine has failed to ward off the complaint, when taken dnly ns a protection against ma? laria. Hundreds of physicians have abandoned all the officinal specifics, and now prescribe this harmless vege? table tonic, und nothing else, as a pre? ventive and cure for all the forms of ohills and fever. 'Vigor is tho thing most noodful in these cases, as well as in dyspepsia and nervous affections, and liostetter's Bitters are the safest, surest and most wholesomo strength? ening preparation that human skill has yet concocted. Ol?t'l Business Necessities.?In these days of progress, most enterprising firms use every moans of putting their names before their customers. Iu no way can this be moro conveniently and attractively done than by nsiug Printed Letter Headings aud Bill Heads. Thoy have como into such general uso by Merchants, that one seems old fashioned who doos not ubo thorn, and the custom should bo generally adopted by the Country Merchants. Walk Bit, Evans & Cogswell, Charleston, S. C, furnish Letter and Bill Heads of all grades, and at tho most reasonable prices. Send to them for samples and prices. By tbo way, Messrs. Walker, Evans & Cogswell aro gutting np and soiling like hot cakes, somo excellent books for our Merchants. One, tho Merchants' Cottou Book, for keeping correct accounts of purchases n6d shipments of Cotton; tho othor, tho Merchants' Rill Rook, for readily knowing how tho payments on their customers' notes and ncooants stand. Roth books aro exceedingly complete, aud answer tho purposes exactly. 017 Mr. Biohard Maher, Sr., an old citizen of Augusta, died Thursday at his residence, "The Woi:k Begun."?Soulh Caro liua is tlie scene of the most remarka? ble, political movement of the ago?a movemont which, auder proper guid? ance, may work oat the redemption of the whole South. It ia nothing less than the consolidation of the Conserva? tive party, including all the wbito tax? payers of the State, with the Inde? pendent wing of tbo Republicans, composed chiefly nf freedmen. This is the theory which we have often re? commended to tbo Southern whites for adoption; but pride, prejudice and injudicious counsel from homo poli? ticians have deterred them hitherto from taking this only path of Bafels/. If, instead of Bending delegations to tbo President and to Congress, and re? ceiving the cold shoulder from both, tbo despoiled tax payers of South Ca rolina bad addnssed themselves to conciliation of the negroes, they could long ago huvo regained much of their lost poffer in the State. They see this now as plainly as we Baw it a year ago, and we only hope that tbo wisdom bought by their costly experience does not come too lutu. Perhaps the delay that has occurred is all for tbo best. Had tbo tax payers been less thorough? ly plundered, the State officers and the Legislature less profoundly steeped in ignorance, corruption aud wickedness, aud the future ushudo less black to the eye nf hope, tbo South Carolina whiles might not huvo been stirred up to tbo urgent necessity of saving them eelves by any means that offered. Tbo change of sentiment, if tardy, is ut least complete. 1'hey no longer have the shadow of a doubt of their true policy?which is, to join iu hearty good faith with the freedmen as allies, friends and protectors. The prosperity of the negroes at tbo South is insepa? rable from that of the whites. The freedmen need (be co-operation, sup? port, protectiou aud direction of the whites; and the whites need the affec? tion, confidence, und, still more, the votes of the freedmen. * * * * * These sentences (Kersbaw's) have the ring of the mctul; aud if the spirit that pervades thorn should be main? tained high and intuet during the campaign, we have faith that the next election iu South Caroliua will result iu the overthrow of tne heartless crew who have so long offered to mankind the spectacle of tbo worst government iu the world.
