THE JOURNAL.
CAMDEN, MARCH SO, 185?.",,
Shall We Pay Them
The present condition of afters in
South Carolina is lamentable! Xi the
close of a season which for its propi*
tiousness was almost unparalleled, our
. ..people found that the products-of their
labor were worth comparatively little,
that it was impossible for them to meet
their obligations, and that^ to procure
" the means of living in the most economical
manner, was all they could
tfr
?j" Almost unparalleled also, is the
. uto-incencv of the money market, which I
T-'"w * . -- - i
is greater thairataDy time since the
?frar. Altogether
unequalled, even in these
days of extravaganoe, have been the
expenditures of the government and
equally great has been the decline in
-value of property, both real and per.
sonal.
The actual expenditures at the State
Treasury for the fiscal year ending Oo. 1
toberSt}- 1370, were ?2,194,321.82.
Assuming that one.Uurd of that amount,
, ?|7^1,440,GO was expended by the
Counties, ana wo have as the total expenditure
of the people's money,'the
enormous sum of 32,925,702.42,. for
' 5*- Ol ID-ft
tae year ending uoiooer ox, xo< u.
It is proposed to collect for the taxes
of last year, the sura of $2,265,047.00,
which 6um is now being collected, also in
November next $1,830,000,000, making
the total amount of County and
State taxes collectable this year (1871)
$4,005,047.00!!
"The state of the country in other reis'equally
distressing. A reign of terror
exists in some portions of the State,
and every thoughtful man feels that we
are on the eve of anarchy, and may be,
of trivil war.
The questions naturally arise whether
we,( are able to pay these enormous
taxes,/ and second, why arc two taxes
i?:-J. j..*.:? -u? 9
levtcu uuiiujj me ouui'j ji;ui ;
As to the first, a Reference to tho report
of the State Auditor, showing the
actual amounted general taxes collected
for the year 1869, will show that
amonbt to he $G99,875.75 whereas the
amount that was to be levied, was
$1,62^,658.11, demonstrating the fact
that hut a little ovor one-third of the
taxes charged, was collected.
This fact^ii seems to ub, is conclusive
that it is. utterly impossible for
. o-v *# > . - v ,. '
our people .to respond to this exorbitant
demand^abd'.. theic{bro j^iat they
Ac to the second question, it appears
to ua, that tho-reason V to be found in
our answer to the first (juestiob. That
ia to'feay, the expenditures for the year
ending October 31,1870, being $2,194,32182,
and the amount of taxes
colleeted for tho same period of time
but 869^865.75, how .did the
State procure the' means" of expending
over two millions dollars ?
Deducting the amount collected from
that expended, there will romain within
a fraction of fifteen hundred thous<
and dpllars of expenditures over receiptfly
^nd the only way in which that
balanCei -eauld be raised, was by throwing
off fhfe market State securities and
selling tbem to make up such deficient
cy.
We consider then, that the $1,2S1.?
00 to be collected in November next, is
to cover this deficiency, so as make it
appear^ upon the as.?euibling of the Legislature,
that the State debt has not
been increased.. Having arrived then
at this conclusion, and feeling satisfied
that our financial affairs are in the
hands of unscroupuloos men who would
hesitate Rt no sort of fraud, we will consider
the question, shall wo pay these
taxes ?' Will we jiot be giving encouragement
to'our rulers, to strike deeper
into our vitals, and play a still bolder
game of fraud, bribery and corruption,
by paying them.
ft
Does npt their action look very much
like confiscation ? Are our peoplo prepared
to give up houses and lands, their
homes apcl firesides to those who are
crushing the life out of us, without a
struggle?
These are questions before the people.

Sunday last, Trial Justice Sutherland
held'an inquest upon the body of
an old--colored ' woman. From the
evidence, it appeared that the old
woman iwent to ohuroh on Sunday
week, below Camden, about four or
five miles, on Boykin's place; that shs
was not again heard of until Friday,
when a ^colored man . by the name of
George jPaary-told some-of her friends
that he.-had heard some one groan
lDg in at*' old coal-pit by the side of
the road leading from the church to
the Deasplace, and upon approaching
the spot fquud the old woman in the pit,
unabtyto get out. The savage did. not
attempt to help her out but left her
jthere,* aud Wept about his busfness:
that Friday, they went to this

place, and found the deceased, unable
to speak or move.
They assisted her oat, bat abo
| died before they arrived home,
j She had literally starved todeath,
[ exposed , to the inclemetfcy W the
weather for five days and nights.
What should be done to the brute
who saw her iq the pit on Wednesday
and said nothing about it until Friday,
and made no attempt to extricate her,
but who virtually was the cause of her
death, yve leave to the great phiJantbropists
who. haVe constituted themselves
tl\e especial guardians of the
colored people, to flay.
Can any man with a sense of moral
responsibility, oanceive how-it is possible
that a fellow man can be so lost

The Sheriff of our County lias received
a judgment against the County
for nearly ?1460,00, amount due him
for services rendered. We understand
that he will press his judgment as
soon as possible, and sell thc-Courthouse,
jail and poeihouse, to satisfy it.
If he does so, then the County will
be taxed for the amount necessary to
redeem the property sold. So much
for the splendid financial management
of the County affairs.

We need, however, make no special
praise of this magazine. The reputation
it has, obtained, and the appreoiation
in which it is held by its tens of
thousands of readers, are tho surest
marks of its great worth.
We cannot too highly commend the
talent and exceedingly practicial abili*
ty of its editor-in-chief, Col; A. D.
Jacques, who, aided by a valuable
and influential number of the best
agricultural writere of this country,
has made , tho magazine what it is.
One remarkable feature of this
magaine is its prompt delivery. It fe
mailed in time to reach every subscri*
bfer by the firat of the- mouth, and if
there is any fuilrue it must beirrthe
Postoflice Department. This prompncss
is a characteristic of the entire*
business management of the proprie

such degradation and wrong is the last
method of providing a remedy. They j
see, too, wit!a regret, that they cannot

tneso vilo governments care nothing fo*
education, lavish millions ou extr#\va.

poll-tax and other funds the* pretend
to appropriate for education. What,
then, must they do ? It is a solemn and
a serious question. We use plain language,
and we always, mean what we
say. The people o'i the South intend
some way to ngnt oat ot tnis mttt. it
is a clear ca?e to our observation. Thcv
have been waiting, with unexampled
forbearance, for light, to sec their way
clearly/ TIib light is dawning. They
are a brave, and a heroic, and a libertyloving
people. They lovo self-govern-,
ment and liberty with passionate dovution,
and will fight for it, if noccssary,
again. Remember, it was a Southern
man who first saw the first revolutionary
war appronohing, and as early as
1765 exclaimed, as we now do, speaking
for the same gallant people, "It is
in vain to extenuate the matter; we
most fight; I repeat it, sir, we must
fight." Some form of revolution is the
only practical method of sweeping away
this filth. And it is coming. Well may
the guilty tremble, for it is God wh)
is about to make the wrath of man to
praise him, and the remainder of
wrath He will restrain. Well muy we
prostrate ourselves before His throne,
and pray for some mitigation of ap
proaobing calamities.

The Greenville Mountaineer is of
opinion that the State taxes for the present
year can never be paid. Many
have not paid for last year, and cannot
do it. It says: "We have 6een delicate
women and decrepit old men selling
the provisions which were absolutely
needed to keep their children from
"starvation, in order to obtain money to
pay their taxes, whilst others were goiog
from friend to friend to borrow
money." And wo doubt whether
Greenville is in a worse plight than the
rest of the State.
Judge Dowling, of New York, has
commenced to Bend to prison the bogus
greenbacks?otherwise called the "sawdost"?swindlers.
This nefariousjtrade
has flourished so long in New York
that oitizens began to donbt whether
they ever would be suppressed, and it
is, therefore, a - source of pleasure to
know that the good work has commenced.
If it were only possible to
imprison those who encourage these
swindlers, the juih would be almost Ailed

Nor need IdoL more .to. sngUcate the

for peace and security, tbi jj^o point
to their unanimous support jtf'a party
which sought, last year, a ba a for the
healing of the hideous disga#< |of socie^
ty, in a concession of legal ei flacy and
obligation to the amendment of the
Constitution and the' reconstruction
acts, asking porbmBa^refura
but an boncst and just adrawistration
of affairs.
These concessions apd .^lyertiires
for peace were scornfqH^Mwfcd" by
the colored people and tbeti; leaders.
Under the high-sounding actf proton*
tious title oT "National Guffis," the
negroes were armed and equm^jd with
the deadliest and costliest wjnpons and
munitions of'war, at the expense of the
people. They were excited] Incensed
and infuriated, by the speech 9 of false
and \ unscrapnlous demagog ks, who
played upon their blind pas tops and
prejudices,' as at skilful b&i tor? Upon
tin nnqairn unit rthrdip.nt cherds of his
instrument, until they were p ady^for
oarnival of blood at the biddin ^of their
leaders. The Commissioner, managers
and hoards of election iflre bo selected,
and the election lawj bo cunningly
devised, as to secure tf?e result
of the ballot- irrespective offihe will
of the people. " Thus hy fraudL.hy force
and by ounning artifice, negroi domination
was secured, and tho.wlwe'H were
practically disfranchised, Ityo Legislature
thus constituted, autLjmany of
the public officials, openly, notoriously
and shamelessly plundered tl e people
of the State, recklessly squant ercdihe
public money, appropriating i fV> their
own uses, and selling their w)t$? pnd
their influence fur the passamraf hVfB
to .'open .the treasury to corruji speculators.
By these znfins tho i*peuditures
of the State government have
been "increased" to more than times
the amount required before rfe war,
"VKile the meaDS of the people boe correspondingly
diminished. Tho HKorfor

millions of dollars, are exuotediu -this

the. nogroea, in man f places,
have becaripi Violent, tiucaterjag and
.dangerous. Mulder, arson ani pillage
l&ave stalked through the larfi almost
unrebuked of justice, while ftfcrj defensive
act oi' the white vioums, has
been magnified into a national crime.
A)1, these are facts known to jou. That
Jin consequence, tliero Bhould be a disturbed
condition of affairs in some localities,
deploruble though il be, is not
to be aduaircd. Let us rathe*be thank
. . .. i e 1 A*
fill-that it has Doeu courueu to me
counties of Laurens, Union, Spartau
burg, York and Chester. We will consider
these disturbances for* moment.
In Luurens and Chestedtbero were
collisions between the tiruetl militk, or
national guards, (negroes) and > the
whites, in open daylight, thepircumatanccs
of which aro well knofn to you.
In the other counties disguised parties
have, from time to time, within tho
last three months, administered Lynch
law in certain cases. Wlile these occurrcuccs
are greatly to be deplored,
and some of thctn merit nud have receivcd
almost uuivcrsal condemnation;
the collisions in Laurens tnd Chester,
by far the most serious oflthein all, aro
regarded by the best in? who know
the facts, us necessary tnd justifiable
acts of self-deferce. on the part of th<5
whites. It is very gentrally believed
that their prompt action prevented that
general" war of races, wlich thoughtful
men have regarded imunuent for some
years post.
While these things hive occurred in
the counties mentioned fhioh are all nt)'w
quieted by -the-;d:saTttisg of t?o militia
in other counties, profound peace hjs
prevailed. Hero, for instance, we have
enjoyed an unbroken reign of quiet and
order. Thore was, at the last Court ol
Sessions, not one act of violence demanding
investigation, a circumstance
which elicited the congratulations oi
tho presiding Judge.
Ilore tbero haB been no organized
and threatening -demonstration of thl
militia, who though armod, have not, J
-1 f>i?niol\or] witL^nTr
am lniormeu, uceu iuiuuuvu
cartridges. On tho other hand, I am
satisfied there has never been iu this
county, any organization corrtwpondinj;
in any way, to what is termed the "KtiKIux-KIun,"
or any other unlawful
association. I take it that the condition
of things exists in by far the larg
er portion of this State. But, likt
causes produce like results, and thfi?y
fore, any demonstration on the part ol
the negroes, and especially the armed
militia, wbioh would render our peoplt
apprehensive of an attack, would veq
probably induce organizations fo;
defensive or preventive operations, and
possibly lead to similar disastrous conflicts
as ensued at Laurens .and Chester.
