Taxation.
In the political campaigns oMhe last fe*
years, in this State, the argument was advanced,
and strenuously urged by the oppo
sition. that the burden of taxation* must
eventually fall upon the laboring man. As
this class formed the main strength of the
Republican party, the proposition was meant
as a warning to them against the rash and
prodigal extravagance, with other people's
money, of those whom they were keeping in
office. This argument was combated by the
Radical advocates, who ridiculed the idea
that those who had no property should pay
the taxes, and comforted their constituents
with the thought that the arrogant landholder,
the oppressive rich man, who unjustly
owned all the property, made by the sweat
of the freeduian's brow, was rightly made to
pay heavily, in order that the poor man's
representatives might run a gorgeous government,
and live in ease and magnificence.?
This specious argument was^addressed, not
only to the colored people, who were immediately
captivated by its beauty; but also to
the whites, who were supposed to be dissatisfied
with the unequal distribution of wealth,
, aud ready for a system which promised confiscation,
and levelling of conditions.
The policy, evinced by this course of reasoning,
was supposed to be that of the Republican
party in South Carolina. This
conclusion was strengthened by the merciless
manner in which real estate was assessed far
above its real market value, and then taxes
levied upou this fictitious basis at rates
which were oppressive and ruinously "high..
Farther, Congressman Kainey. who should
know how to speak for his party, in enlightening
our affectionate fellow-countrymen of
the North, last summer, upon the condition
of affairs in South Carolina, was not ashamed
to admit that the Republican party was a
party of high taxation, but rather gloried in
the fact, and boasted that their intention
1
was to pile on the taxes until the owners of
land were compelled to sell it, aud thus enable
all to own a home-stead. All this ho
said, although he knew, or being a representative
man should have known, that any
man, possessing a large bedy of land, was
not only willing but anxious to sell portions
of it at reasonable prices to any one who waa
able to buy, and that the only" reason why
such sales were not made was because the
landless were to poor too buy. This utterance
of our Congressman was construed to
JMLI LI I II II I' 1 U^.1 Ul mil ll'HI. ttliu It IS
hard to see how it could signity anything
else.
Now, strange to say, everything isch.mged.
lly some curious transformation the burden
of taxation is shifted from the land-owner and
capitalist, and laid upon the shouldjors of the
working-man. At least so says the Columbia
In ion-Herald. The industrial interests of
the State have been, for sobic time past, in a
condition of breathless suspense, waiting in
dread anticipation of the crushing demands
of the Legislature, and trembling lest their
feeble frames, already weakened by financial
disaster, should be ground to powder.
This anxiety has manifested itself in the
columnsof the press throughout the State, and
respectful protests, and earnest appeals have
been addrossed to the Legislature. The I nion
Herald takes occasion to tell us that our
fears are unfounded; in fact that we have
nothing to dcr with the matter, because the
farm-laborer, the mechanic, the house-servant.
the employee of every description, pay*
the t,tret, if the merchant is taxed, hciuipo
ses it upon the consumer in the form of additionafyrofit;
if the land-lord is taxed, the ten.
ant must uiake it up in paying a higher rent;
if the planter is taxed, he takes it out of the
wage* of his hands; if the railroad company
is taxed, the pay ot its employees is proportionately
diminished.
We are glad to see our coteuiporary taking
this position. Work at it and elaborate
it, until the poorest man shall sec that his
xnoney i? squandered at Columbia. That
whatever affects one portion of the hody politic,
is felt by the whole. That no branch of
industry can be oppressed, and the others
not suffer. That the interests of employer !
and employee, buyer and seller, white nod ,
colored, IJeioocrat ami ikepuuuran, iiru
identical in this all important m atter. This
is undoubtedly true, and can bo proved.
The Union-lie rut J uses this argument by
way of a caution to our rulers, urging retrenchment
in public exjaeuses, and regard 1
for the interests of a constituency, who arc '
already beginning to wince under their bur*

and the danger is, that what we now have 1
will leave as for safer quarters.
This is a serious uiatter, and must be attended
to. Although promises of reform
and economy are made and reitoratcd, the
mountain of taxation goes on increasing in
maguitudc.
Plant Less Cotton.
Iu these troublous times, when all departments
of industry are, to a a greater or less
extent, paralyzed, it is our wont, though we
may not be able to state the exact cause of
the stringency in monetary affairs, at least
to look about for the means by which to
prevent our being placed in a like position in
the future.
. At first, the general impression in reference
to our financial condition was, that, in a very
short time, credit would be restored, money
would creep out from its hiding places, cot
ton would command a fair price, aud in short?
that everything and everybody, save a few
reckless gamblers, would move along as
though nothing had happened.
But sach has not been the case.. The
crash is upon us. Its effects are felt, how
seriously no one can tell. Like that produced
by a ston" cast into the water, the
circle, in which the force of the panic in
Wall street has been exerted, has widened,
only increasing in momentum, until, now,
the whole country is convulsed, and thousands
upou thousands of men are financially
ruined. In vain does the planter, the merchant,
or the banker seek a plan by which he
may be enabled to make both ends inq?>t.
The thing is done, and the sooner the fa^
is realized, the sooner will all be in a condi
tion to retrieve their losses.
But, though the picture is so gloomy, it
has at least one encouraging feature Every
' en 'on oe if 1 11 11 1 r?<1 f i -J
miBiurvuuc id u uics^iu^ w mi * ?i<v?.vm?v..
a lesson. Hitherto, the people of our
southern country have giVen their attention
almost entirely to the production of cotton,
to the exclusion of other articles of equal)
if not greater importance. For several
years, the staple has commanded remunerative
prices, and we have prospered. But, at
last, when wu thought ourselves most secure,
the crisis has come, yie price of cotton has
declined to a point far below the actual cost
of its production, and we arc set back several
years in our business operations. True, the
loss is well-nigh irreparable, but a valuable
lesson can bo learned therefrom. The Bhip
has been lost, but the position of the rock in
the ocean has been definitely ascertained. ;
and many others may be saved from a simi- j
lar fate. So, let U3 become wise and behold j
the truth as it is presented to us?we must
do something else besides grow cotton.
But some will say, our soil is peculiarly
? w mm?raising in i nuun. sllU H(J ifo
not wish to give it up. We answer? such
is very true ; hut it is equally adapted to
the growing of grain, and of such animals
as sheep, cattle, swine, &c.
The "Middle Belt" of South Carolina!
possesses natural advantages of the highest
order. The soil is so various and the cli- j
mate so genial and favoring, tliat we may j
grow a superabundance of all products, from I
the most delicate luxury to the most valuable
substantial. Besides this, we have in
our midst, beds of almost every kind of i>re,
while the admirable sites where the music |of
the spindle and loom should be heard? '
tfhero all kinds of machinery can bo operated
successfully and profitably?are innumerable.
The field is, indeed, so inviting,
that it cannot remain long unimproved.
Our own people must manifest more enter- i
prise, must look more to their interest, by i
availing themselves of those blessings which
a merciful Providence has conferred upon
them. They must depart from the grooves
in'which they have hitherto moved, or they
will, sotne day, have greater cause to rpgrct
their present apathy.

The extra session of the Legislature closed i
on Monday lost, tho time fixed by law for '
the regular session being Tuesday, the 25th i
inst. The close of the session finds the Hill
to adjust the public debt still hanging firo^
nothing having boon done with it.
The Act to raiso supplies, which fixes the rate
of taxation at sirUrn mills, has been autctidcl
so as to make the taxes payable in two
instalments, one in January, and the other
in August, next '1 liis arrangement will
afford irreat relief, as it will give tlie fax

The complications, growing out of the i
Virginius affair, seein about to result in a
war between the'United States aud Spain.
The whole country, North and South, is aroused
and iudignant. aud alniosta unit in the
sentiment that condign punishment should be
meted out to the perpetrators of the outrage.
The Spanish government says that it is only 1
a question between the Cuban authorities,!
and pirate*, and that no interference will
bo allowed. Gen. Sickles, the United States
Minister at Madrid, has been, insultingly
repulsed in his efforts to obtain satisfaction,
and fears are entertained that he may be
mobbed b^ the excited people. Spam has
no right to proclaim the crew of the Virginius
pirate*. They were acting unlawfully
in attempting ta.land upon the coast of Cuba,
but tliey were not outlaws, enemies of
the human race, bent upon bloodshed, robbory,
and crime ; they were not the desperadoes
to whom the law gives the name of
pirates. Therefore their summary execution
was nothing less than brutal butchery.

Stripes, and the whole proceeding a disgrace
to the age, and an outrage upon international
law, which the A ilized nations of the world
arc .interested in maintaining.
Our sympathies are with the patriotic party
in Cuba. For years they have maintain- j
.eduu unequal war with Spain, struggling for ,
liberty. In this contest they have not been j
treated with common humanity.Those ta-1
ken prisoners of war have almost always been !
shot in culd blood, property has been destroyed.
and every right of man has been
violated with devilish cruelty.
It is high time that these things should
stop. A war between the United States and
Spain will inevitably free Cuba. * Upon the
subject, of war the Spaniards speak with
haughty arrogance and defiance.
They have either too littlo sense, or too i
much courage to fear the scream of the
American eagle ; we rather think that they
have'i '? 1 r "
first, and, if a ft reign war shonld have the J
effect of uniting the hostile factions of the
Republicans and Carlists, the contest may
be quite fierce But no man can doubt the
final result. The vessels, armories, and forts
of the United States are being made ready 1
for war. The President, however, will do
nothing until Congress meets. The war
making power is in their hands, and we arc
told that they will protect the dignity of our
country.

Captain Fry M-trching to Death.
Regarding the manner in which Captain
Fry and his companions marched to their
fate, the advices show that they wore landed
on the 6tli, about nine o'clock in the I
morning, from the steamer in which they
had been confined, tried and condemned to
death, and taken first io the captain of the
port, and then to the jail.
' * 1 *' "?i. :?.?. tl<?
About midday, on uio iui uisuuu, tnv
fiscal, or the prosecutor in tho ease. Captain
J. M. Autran, of the gunboat Cuba Kspan<?la,
handed to the vice consul. Mr. Sell mitt,
a permission from the captain of the port
and commandant of marine, Don Raman
Itranduris, to call and sec Obtain Fry at the
jail, who desired to see tho consul.
Nto latter immediately proceeded to the t
jail, where, after the usual formalities, he \
was admitted to see Captain Fry, who informed
him that he hail been asking for that
privilege, or that right rather, ever since he j
had been first brought tothe port, but without [
avail, and he had only been granted this boou i
now within a few lifurs of his death, as he
was to be shot at four, and desired to make
his declara'ion and protect, having been captured
with his steamer, upon tho high seas,
and. therefore, protested against all and
every part of the proceedings Thi- protest
was concluded at about L! p m , and the consul
immediately transmitted n copy to <1 enera!

ssengers, were placed under guard, and all
ought into the port of Santiago de Cuba
i the first day of November.
On the.evening of the same day, after
iving delivered over all the papers belongg
to the Virginius, he wasjrefused permisun
to apply to his consul for aid and proiction,
and this was only granted him after
iing condemned to death with the major
jrt of his crew, under no known public
Itv or pretext; and, as Captain Fry was hurrid
to make his preparation for death, he
culd make no further statement, but deares
that the foregoing is his true declarator
which he signed in jail, at two o'clock
i?i the 7th of November, 1873?two hours
pivious to his execution.
This protest was a proved hy several 01
tb foreign consuls,%ith whom Mr. Schmittt
avised. But his Excellency Governor Burril
was highly incensed at the consul's nctin,
and informed hiui that he had demanded
tfe revocation of his exequatur.
Another insult was was put upon the
onsul, for just previous to the moment'on
\hich the prisoners left the jail three soldars
as guards were stationed at the consul's
ruidence. one at each corner -and one in
frcit of his door. It happened that the
Frnch consul,his chancellor and several other
pesons were at the time with Mr. Schmitt,
anl as the time was too short to demand an
emanation and have tho soldiers removed?
aseveryone stopped to Inquire if the United
Shtes consul was under guard?joined in
nuking a proves verbal of the circumstance.
TO TIIE PLACE OF DEATH.
At four o'clock p. in. precisely, the condemned
were marched out of the jail, which
ii not far from the consul's offieo, and filed
pst four by four. Most oi* them in passiijj
saluted the bare flagstaff of the consulate
biigclining their heads. The last to go by

good-by to the consul and groups of gentlemen
standing on the piazza of tho consul's
