THE ITALIAN IM MIO BANTS Who lately arrived at Columbia and were represented (for reasons which would lend to dishearten further arrivals) to be in a suffering condition, have been sought after by several planters, and provided with good homes. Men in earnest about work, cau find ready and steady employ ment in South Carolina. We need help in tho agricultural department. Let the immigrants come in; DARK LEEDS. A family of Charleston consisting of a mother nnd four daughters have been arrested upon the suspicion, of having dealt foully with the Into T. A. Johnson, who having died in Charlestion, was buried in Blackvillc. The four daughters were arrested first, and circumstances imply that the husband and father of the suspected, was the victim of their concert ed action. A rigid investigation is going on. SANITARIUM. During the past few months several invalids from the north,desiring to escape the severity of their native clinic, have located in Orangeburg. Their opinion of the climate is flattering, but wo regret to say, that our town docs not afford such accomodotions as these visitors require. Orangeburg needs a hotel on tne plan of those in Aikcn, and in several towns of Florida. A hotel combining rare com forts, and conveniences for divcrsiou (ample grounds, bowling alloys A.c. &c) An enterprise of this kind properly man aged, will attract many a visitor, whose means will be freely spent while he bene fits in the salubrity of our splendid cli mate. SA RBA Til IN OHA RLESTON. Special among many features which individualize the old city by the sea is its observance of the Sabbath. There aro characteristics, marked and iinnus!li keable, which cling inseparably to her historic name. Her hospitality, and re finement, her social circles, and public spirit, all of which strike the visitor with admiration, nnd freshen those of the manor born whom circumstances have separated from her with pride, but nono so touch the rosponsiyc cords of the soul, as the universal calm which welcomes the Sabbath day. The clatter and din of the busy week is hushed, ami peace broods along the streets lately resonant with traffic. The sweet chime of St. Michael's seem to herald with lively notes the "resl day." It is not the sullen toll win h broods sadly upon the air, nor is it the full diapason of the silvery toned bells of Moscow, so fitly described by Dr IVlhio; Yet there is a peal which calls to wor ship, an inviting voice, those who would. Civilization demands some innovations, which even there grate upon the ear, but no people so entirely abandon tho cares of tho week, and respect the day as here, and its grateful observance invests tho city with a charm, already sacred in her glorious past, and struggling present. tue taxes. A misapprehension exists on the mind of many regarding tho "Convention of Taxpayers" which by common consent through its delegates, lately asaembod it* Charleston, are to meet in Colombia in February. Tho voguo impression was that immediate relief would bo given, by the Convention, and a disappointment is consequent, inasmuch as tho people again have had to respond to tho radical steal. The action of tho legislature, in fixing the period for tnxpaying was so soon sub sequent to the outrageous tax bill, that the "Taxpayers Convention" could not effect any measure of relief. But tho feather has been laid on the camel's back, and the sifting of this outrageous fraud will soon begin, and with tho help (sub stantial help when called for") the rings will bo pursued to the end. Even the colored people of Beaufort county arc crying out Thief Thief; Let every honest hard working man, white or colored join in the hue and cry, and tho temple of Dagou will come down but the Sampson of the people's will, will be alive nnd well to rejoice over the rout of the Philistines. to 1 he beleg a tics a ppointed for oha ng eb up g to tue taxpayers convention. The apprdaching convention will bring together the intelligence, and patriotism of the State, together wifh those who rep resent the property interest of each county Their deliberations will be non political, except to show that the party in ?;ule, are sapping the life of the StaSc at large. That the ignorant, and credulous are basely practised upon by designing and unscrupulous men, from any and every portion of the globe (whether from the bounty jumper's don of "five points" or from the ranks of renegadoism in South Carolina) all intent on one purpose, to rob the people, by fooling, and hoodwink ing tho negro. The convention will fitly memorialize congress for relief; us eitizens claiming rights under the flag that de mands loyalty, it will be mete to hear, and consider their greivances. We offer a single suggestion to our delegates, which they can turn to good account, Vis: To examine the laws regulating the assess ment of property, nnd those defining the powers of the "board of County Commis sioncis," who unquestionably exercise the power of rating assessments. Then to procure irrefutable data as to the value of property in the county, and array these side by side with tho assessments made by the county board and Auditor.The values of property are fixed by a market price, by sellers and buyers. If such values are not to be bad, then the price must be set by the sale of other similar property. In a word tho taxpayer must be justly assessed, and not dragged up like a cap tive to bo fleeced as one in the hands of pirates. It will be a search of short du ration to find, that the assessments in Oraitgeburg have bepn monstrously above the market value of tho property. A horse or mule rated at $150, that will not bring on market $100, is necessarily a wrong on the part of the assessors. A house or piece of land assessed tit $10,000, that will not bring $7000, is, by the same rule n wrong on the part of the assessors. We havo nothing to do with the motives of the officers soenlarging the assessments. Wo look at the patent facts; Wo know ourselves to be wronged, pressed down by a galling load that a people cannot, and should not bear, and if the Bkiiest of the ruling power obliges its hirelings to wrong the people, then as tho people, we must exposo the injustice received nt their hands. It is a grand farce for a respect able tax payer to subscribe loan oath to tho value of his property (which lie is willing to sell it for) if necessitated, and then to find his return repudiated by a decision of an arbitrary board, who scout his I dec larations, and oblige him to pay taxes j from thirty to one hundred per cent above tho market value of his property. The colored people, may learn in time ! how their whilom friends use only to abuse them. Let them rend the resolu tions concerning the Republican printing company, and bo prepared to be deserted by such friends just ,so soon, as it suits their purposes to drop them. A squeezed orange is generally thrown away, and the Intetax hill is squeezing tho laboring man hard; lie is feeling it, ami is not satisfied, but he must suffer yet more un til ho asserts his r gbts,. of ousting the plunderers who are fattening, upon him and bis children. "Whereas the Constitution of the Uni ted States and of South Carolina guaian tecs to all citizens, irrespective of race, color or previous condition of servitude, cquul rights and. privileges; and whoicas the Republican Printing Company, al though sustained by tho Republican party has repeatedly refused to employ colored compositors because their whito employees being ncmbers of the Typographical Union, dislike to work in the same apart ment with colored men, and thrcuton it is alleged, to leave rather than do s?; and by their action in r andering to the preju dices of their white compositors, the said company violates tho Constitution nnd laws of the United States and of this State, and disregards tho principles, plof; form and plcdgesof tho Republican party, and inflicts upon the colored compositors of the Stace a flagrant wrong descrving of censure nnd rebuke; therefore, "Resolved That a committeo of five be appointed by the speaker to examine into and ascertain the cause of this unjust discrimination nnd refusal to employ colored compositors, nnd to recommend some practical means to compel the said company to give the colored compositors of the State an equal opportunity with the while to obtain a livelihood; and that the said committee report to this House the names of persons composing the said Republican Printing Company." Destitution Amoxu tiik Fki:ki?ikx. ?Lust Thursday evening about forty col ored people from near Mnenn, Georgia, passed through on cars en route for some point near Memphis. The agent in charge, rvho has recently traveled through portions of Alabama and Georgia, says that great destitution provni's among the colored population. Some of them arc living by camping out and subsisting on the mast, and in some places acorns are gelling for fifty cents a bushel. In Ala bama some of them, old and young, are in astate of nudity, and subsist on hickory huts and turnip salad. Within the next ten days three thousand of thorn will pass through our city to Memphis for Arkan sas, while a great many are going West. ?Chattanooga Commercial. Tin: carpetbag Governor of South Carolina, one Moses, who is charged with stealing several bundled thousand dollars from the State Treasury, h:is been guilty of another and even worse kind of theft. He coolly took p< rtion.j of Macau lay's celebrated Kssay on Milton, and put it in bis message as bis own language. Since the ass attempted to imitate the lion by putting on bis - skin there has been no folly equal to this. Tiikysay that Gov. Moses, of South Carolina, recently stole two-thirds of the message of the Governor of New ? Hamp shire, and Detroit Free Press thinks it a wonder that he did n't steal it tdl. The Free Press may be sure that the other third was valueless, for it has been several years since a Smith Carolina official neg lected to steal anything that was worth stealing. A gentleman in search of a man to do some work, met on bis way a lady not as young as she onco was, and asked: "Can you tell me where I can lind a man?" "No, I cannot," she replied, "for I have been looking these twenty yrun for one myself. ?. A gentleman who rather suspected some one was peeping through the key hole of his office door, investigated with a syringe full of pepper sauce, and went home to find that bis wife had been cut ting w< od and a chip had hit her in the eye. ? A dry-wittcd soldier of the tenth Ver mont during tho war, was heard to pray once when the bullets were falling in showers, as follows: "U, Lord make me us thin us a knife." Somebody in a Georgia court 'applaud ed,' whereupon, the judge indignantly remarked, "Now dry up; I will let you know that this is no camp-meeting." Josh Billings says, very truly: You'd belter not know *o much, than to know so many things that ain't so. A Bargain?A ludicrous transaction in which each party thinks be cheated the other. Lawyoi?A learned gentleman whores cues your estate from your enemy and keeps it himself. Watov?A clear fluid once used as n dr'ik. Tribute of Respect. At ft' meeting: of the Orange Base Ball Club, held 23rd inst tho following Pream ble and resolutions were unanimously adopted. "Whereas, in tho Providence of an all wise God; our brother member, Win, B. Mops has been taken from among us by the band of death, while in vigor of youth and with bright hopes and prospects for tjio future; and whereas, it is proper for us to express the sympathy we entertain for his family in their trial and hcracve mcnt, and tho sorrow felt by us individ ually and as a Club: therefore be it. Resolved that in the death of Wm, S. Moss, the Orange Base Ball, Club lias had taken irom its roll, the name of a true and energetic member. Resolved, that we do sincerely sympa thise with the family in their bortaove inont. Resolved, that we will ever checrish the rccoleclions of our deceased brother, and that a page in our minute book be incribed to his memory. .Resolved, that a copy of these resolu tions be sent to the family of the deaoesed and that they be published in the Orange burg Times and Xetc$.
