The Tax-payers Convention lias met, and ;
well discharged its duty. Its temper and j
work were gratifying, not only to the con- j
scrvative people of the State, but have j
awakened- a responsive echo throughout j
the whole country. Tho actions of the j
oody were dignified and moderate; it con- j
rincd itself strictly to the objects for which
it was convened, the discussion of groat
and manifold evils, the necessities of the
8tate, and the manner in which the one
might be remedied and the other supplied.
Before the meeting of the Convention,
the question was sceptically asked : "what
good can be accomplished ?" We never
had any doubt that much might be effected,
and were strongly impressed with tho
idea, that the convention was a nrcestity
Now that it has met and done its work, and
its record is before us, the same doubters
ask, ;whathas been accomplished V Xoj

since the adjourgmeut of that body, can ]
fail to give a satisfactory answer to the J
question. Its moral effect hgp been great, j
and wo believe will reach far into the fu- j
tare, and will yet bring forth much good
fruit in many directions.
But the Convention possessed no legisla-1
tive or governmental powers. It could j
not make laws for the accomplishment of
those ends whioh suggested themselves to ;
its wisdom, and provide an efficient machinery
for the execution of its decrees It
was only an advisory body, anfl could only
concert schemes, and recommend them to
its constituency. To these constituents it
must look for the accomplishment of its
suggestions. A convention of representative
men is called iu a crisis like the present,
pnly that it may, by the exercise of
combined wisdom, devise methods for relief.
A collection of Solomons and Solons
aiight consult, and plan, and recommend,
and all to no purpose, unless those whoi
isk their advice, will carry out their
ideas. j
Qu!1 Jkiop!c"~are now called upon to
arouse themselves and go to work. The
Tax-payers' Convention recommends the
organization of Tax payers Unions in every
county and every precinct. The object
of thece Unions is to combine the people
for purposes of self protection. It must
be apparent to all, that unless some change
in soon made in the conduct of affairs in |
this State, we will be ruined. We arc now :
undergoing a pressure of taxation that
strains us to our utmost capacity. Every
man knows for himself that his burden is
luiost more than he can bear. If he looks
>oyond his own affairs, he will see that his
neighbors and acquaintances are, with rare
exceptions, in the same condition. Many,
with noxious hearts, have for weeks considered
the question, where they were to
obtain the money to pay their taxes, while
their distressed countenances showed
what they were suffering. The majority
of those who were so fortunate as to he
able to pay their taxes, did so only by j
self-denial. Plain food must be eaten.'
plainclothes must be worn, education!
must bo neglected, all luxuries thrown;
aside by many, a large part of whose dear-!
ly earned income is absorbed by the government.
We are not afraid to make the
assertion, that there nre some in Kershaw
county, so unfortunate as to own a large
amount of unproductive property, who
have been compelled to pay one-half of
their annual income into the public trcaoury.
The case of one lady has been called
to our attention. She owns a small house
upon the rent of which she is dependent
for her support. This house is assessed
at $1,500?the annual rent is $180. She
must pay the State $30, by way of taxes
?om-sixth of her scanty income Her
town taxes will amount to $12 on the same
property, so that $ 12 are taken out. of her
scanty living of $180. and she gets almost
nothinj iu return.
Figaros of this character show the practical
workings of our tax-laws, and their
fearfully oppressive nature. We do not
think that our people fully realize thair
situation in all its bearings, and they need
to liavo al! the facts presented to theui,
and to reflect upon these facts. The tendency
of uchconsi leratioas may be to dis
: c.i a many. The danger is,the apathy of
mo : r be duo to despair; they leel their
condition, but lo k vaguely around fir
rJi<v' to spring ii in some (juaitcr, (ley
know not whence. Jiut a different spirit
should be encouraged. Relief is within
our own reach, if wo seek it in the right
way. and with the pr. per spirit. We must
wake up. and go to work with energy and
courage. We must lo active and determined.
but at the same tiino prudent and
conservative. These tax-unions waive all
politics Their platform is broad enough
for all, the only thing required of a member
being that he shall be desirous of see
ing an honest, cheap government in South
Carolina, and willing to work for the accomplishment
of that end. Xo distinctions
are made on account of race, color, or
political creed- Every colored man in
the State is directly and vitally interested
in the objects of the Union. If he ever
expects to own any property, and be comfortable
and contented, he must see to it.
that taxation is reduced, and government
economically and honestly administered
The tax-unions do not propose to organize
any political party. Their object is to
unite our people tor selt-protecnoir, ic
present a solid front against fraud and
corruption wherever it may exist, and give
a substantial support to any candidate fur
public office, who may show a good record
and give promise of honesty and fidelity,
without regard to party.
Wo hope to see the policy, recommended
by the Tax-payers Convention, and
'endorsed by the public meeting on SnturI
day lust, earnestly, actively and honestly
j carried out.
Public Meeting.
Pursuant to notice published in the last
issue of the Journal, a meeting of the
citizens of Kershaw County was held in
Town Hall on Saturday last.
On motion of Dr. E. M. Hoy kin. Col.
W. M. Shannon was called to the chair,
and Wm. D. Trantham requested to act as
secretary. On taking the chair, Col. Shannon
cxplaiued the object of the meeting
to be, to receive the report of our delegates
to the late Taxpayers' Convention,
and to take the steps necessary to put into
successful operation the policy of the said

meeting was ready for the transaction of
business, whereupon Gen. J. B. Kershaw,
of the delegation, arose and addressed the
house in his usual earnest and forcible
manner, presenting an interesting review
of the action of the Convention,
and urging upon all good men, without
regard to party affiliation, race or previous
condition, the absolute necessity of organizing
themselves into Tax-Unions, with a
view to securing an honest and economical
State government, and a consequent
reduction of taxation. In his judgment the
prospect was never more hopeful. Much
good could be accomplished by con ert of
action. This was no party question?no
matter of opinion?but a cause common
to all classes. Let us organize with the
determination that wo will have relief, invite
all to unite with us, aid compel such
as will not leud us their aid to stand on
the other side. Gen. Kershaw then offered
the following resolutions:
in&olvcd, That wc earnestly urge upon
the people of Kershaw County, who arc
j in favor of an honest and cheap government,
the duty and necessity of organizing
Tax-Unions, in accordance with the reeouimendations-'f
the Tax-payers' Convention,
upon the single principle of intelligence,
honesty and economy of administration,
and the preservation of the rights
and liberties of the people, irrespective of
all considerations of party, race, color, class
or condition.
That the chairman of this ,
meeting, at his leisure, appoint a commit-]
j toe of five from Camden, and three from j
each of the other old election precincts of
Kershaw county, to organize one or more
Tax-Unions in each of said precincts, ami
when a sufficient number shall be organized,
to organize a central Union, consisting
of delegates from the precinct Unions.

were submitted by Dr. H. M Boy kin,
M. Bauui, Capt. T. II. Clarke, Gen. J. D.
Kennedy, Arthur J'. Linniug Esq, and
the Chairman, Col. W. M. Shannon, after
which the resolutions were unanimously
adopted.
On motion of Capt. James M Davis, a
committeo of three were appointed to raise
funds necessary to defray the expenses of
the delegates from this county, appoiuted
to carry the memorial of the Tax payers
Convention to Congress, to and from Washington.
Capt. J. M. Davis, M. Baum
Esq, and J. T. Hay Esq. were appointed
upon the committee.
On motion of M. Baum Esq, both of
our distinguished delegates, Gen. J. B.
Kershaw and Gen. James Chcsnut, were
earnestly requested?if it be not incompatible
with their interests?to go with
the Memorial Committee to Washington*
The meeting then adjourned siiif ifir.

The Senate has reconsidered its action,
by which the bill to pay claims held in
trust by V? oodruff and Joiics, Trustees,
was lost, and has passed a bill to pay
$156,000 of these claims. Mr. II Oardozo,
Senator from Kershaw, voted against
the pa.-sago of the bill. We observe that
A. T. Latta has been confirmed as a Trial
Justice for Chesterfield. Tim Hurley has
introduced into the House a bill to suppress
intemperance, pauperism and crime,
I which provides that dealers in intoxicating
liquors, and the owners of the premises
where such liquors are sold, shall be
responsible in damages to the husband
, wife, child, parent, guardian or employer,
who shall bo injured in person, property
j or means of support, by reason of the sale
oi' liquor to any one. The Senate has (
passed a bill providing for the re-assess- J
ment of lands in the State during the pres- ^
ent year. 11. W. Purvis, the colored ad- a
jutant-gcncral of the State, has resigned, 5
because the Legislature cut down the t
militia appropriation, and took it out of s
his hands. ?
The committee to whom was referred j
the Memorial of the Taxpayers' Conven- a
tinn in rnforonpfl tn f.h? nsspssmnnf of a
property, have reported a bill, which provides
that the Judges of the Circuits
shall, ou or before the first day of July of ^
every fifth year, appoint three intelligent 1
tax-paying citizens in each of the counties t
of their rcspecti vo circuits, who shall form ''
a county b.^ard for the equalization of
the value of real property, to which the a
auditors shall submit the returns of real I
property, with all additions made by them,
and whose duty it shall be to see that |
such property is taxed at its true value r
The time of adjournment, sine die, has t
been fixed for the 14th inst.
A bill is before the Legislature to inn
corporate the "South Carolina Society for |
the prevention of cruelty to animals." j
A bill has been introduced into the a
Senate to provide lor the relief of A. P. *
Turner, of Spartanburg county, who claims *
that his nroncrtv to the value of SG000 .
u
was destroyed by disguised incendiaries, t
because lie was a zealous Republican of- a
ticcholder. This bill provides for the '
levy of a special tax for the purpose of reimbursing
hiui for his losses. It is stated
that Turner was engaged in illicit distill- c
ing and turned informer, which incensed
others following the sauie vocation, and t
led to the destruction of his property. I
An appropriation bill has passed both c
Houses, and disposes of 81,031,150 as f
follows: Salaries, contingents, etc., 8222.
400. Public institutions, 8189,750. Pub- ?
lie schools 8300,000. Legislative expens- 1
es, including printing. 8319,000. In ad- '
dition, the sum of 8592,772 has also been 1
appropriated for special purposes.
The Senate has passed to its second reading
a joint resolution, providing that ths I
Attorney General shall institute legal pro- '
ceedings against Xiles G. Parker, late .
State Treasurer, for illegally issuing Con- |
version Bonds of the State. ]
The tax-levy for the next fiscal year <
has been fixed at thirteen and eleven- '
twelfth mills for State and connty purposes.
It is rumored that the Governor in- .
tends vetoing the appropriation billon the i
ground that it does not sufficiently provide 1
for the support of the government.

The Court room was thronged all this

The war office has received no official

A dispatch from Sir Garnet Woolsev,
of a date prior to the taking of Coonassio,
declares that the overtures for
iieacc on the part of the Ashantees were
ireaeherous, and part of a plot to lure the
irniy to destruction.
A special telegram to the Telegraph
from the Ashauteo expedition, says that
ihere was a sharp engagement on the 4th
)f February which lasted seven hours. An
immense force of Ashantees under the
leadership of the king in person, aided by
his principle chiefs, opposed the passage
jf the river Dah by the British. Two
officers of the Highlanders were killed and
ihirty men wounded. The Ashantees
ivere routed, with heavy loss. The King
ind his officers abandonc . their army and
look to flight. At the close of the battle

which can be given to the cause of
