Exchanges have noted the enormous increase of taxation laid on Orangcburg t County, and while they howl over their own burdens, with a generous sympathy for sufferers like themselves, they echo the shameful levy. Thesuffering consequent upon this will be felt in many cases.of those who will be forced to part with their property to fill the bottomless maw of radicalism. The taxpayers conven tion will have a job when they undertake to checkmate the State Government, but we believe the game can be blocked. Louisiana is seeing the dawn of day, after a curse of african night, and South Car olina may be freed of carpetbag rule, which is worse than ignorance. It is in telligent rascality. ??m from the qermax zeitvnq. How appreciated the germans are in the up counties, is proved by a circum stance which occurred in Abbeville. The citizens of this torvu collected a handsome sum among themselves, engaged a band of music, and the largest hall, ordered several kegs of Lager from Charleston, then inviting all the German farm labor ers arouud for twenty miles, with their wives and children to n ball, and it turned out a real merry ball. Everyone was delighted,and the affair was a success. The native gentlemen and German ladies enjoyed the waltz and polka together, while the Germans were equally dolghtcd with thcqundrille &c,und this free inter course of good feeling happened in a town where Germans were hardly known here tofore. Abbeville county orders now 1000 German farm Inborers. This county knows now what Germans can do; a circumstance of last year opened the eyes of its people; One family of a German, his wife and a boy of eighteen years, strayed to Abbeville, where* their travel money ran out. They begged for work, but nobody offered cither work or wages, finally a farmer engaged them, and said he would risk the matter, to rent them a peico of land, also horse wagon and plow, and during the year to furnish the provisions; If they should make nothing, all right. The German began work, as only a German does, with a will and a heart, the result'of his labors, was eight bales of cotton Wurth ?500, he gave the fanner two bales as rent, for the land and the horse, two bales for advan ced provisions, which left the renter four bales, for which he at once bought a horse and wagon. The fanner immediately sold him 100 acres of land on ten years credit, and now the German laborer is his own matter, and probably Ibis year will make his eight bales of cotton, ns well as his corn pens, &c, and then we inny say his earnings, will be his clear profit. How long will it take before this German will be an independent man; come one nnd all nnd do the same. The elder "Moses" has been elected Chief Justice. The taxpayers convention will ussom ble at Columbia very shortly. It will bo composed of nten whoso experience in public lifo entitles their opinion to weight. Tho wise nnd tho fearless, tho honorable nnd patriotic, are to meet to pass seu tnnce upon the pluderers who, have the effrontery to call themselves rulers, and have not the shame to be above the corn man theif. Secure for the time being behind a pnrlizan judiciary, and banded together, each knowing the other to be deserving of the felon's garb, yet none daring to turn State's evidence, they have gone on from one degree of enormity to another until the modem nomenclature of scoundrel as is applied to them is as ac ceptable as the title of "Masters" was farcical to "Flute Snout, Quiuco & Co" when nt the call of "Bottom"jthcy "spread themselves" as actors. The convention need not confer with tho crew at Colum bia with the hope of exacting promises of reform. Such au effort would be as utterly lost in effecting good, as the party is lost to any sense of right. Years long years in which millions have been wrung from the people, in which many a home has been forfeited to tho State, in which thousands hove been driven away from our borders, in which we have been the servants of ignorant and beastly hirelings, havo passed by, and the abuse has grown to a curse, until the very name of "the party" which rules, is as hateful as evil can be. No; any conference with them must be decisive upon one of two points, either to relinquish the grip upon the people's life,or take a people's finale. The cry comes from every portion of the country "will the people of South Caro lina consent to bo thus fettered nnd rob bed, and make no resistance." It is a reproach to us all, yet wc counsel no vio lence. There is an appeal that can not fail at Washington if filly mnde,nud push ed to hearing. Let that appeal bo mude; and let tho complex machinery of wheels within wheels,rings of Governor.Seualora legislators, courts, and understappers go to smash, and let us h we once more a ruler somewhere to be found,.who what ever b? his political coat, shall be entitled to the name of an honest man. At this juncture the lantern of Diogenes would hardly light us to such on one in high places. [communicated!/] A meeting of the share holders of the Roberts Subsoil Attachment was held on the 20th inst. The meeting was called to order by J. A. Keller who was afterwards elected President of the Company. The ballot ting tor Secretary and Treasurer resulted in the election of F. H. W. Briggmann. On motion of Col P. S. Folder the name of -'Roberts Subsoil Attachment Company of Orangeburg" was adopted. The Prcsi dent is to appoint agents to sell planta tion rights, and all share holdeis are re quested to sell plantation rights for the sum of five ($5) dollars. F. II. W. Briggmann will act as local agent at Orangebnrg C. H. It was resolved that the Secretary have printed certificates of plantation rights. Dr. \Y. F. Barton moved that the pro ceedings of the meeting be published in the Orangeburg papers, the motion was carried, after which the meeting ad journed. For further information relative to the sub soil attachment, apply to F. II. W. Briggmann or Dr. Jos. A. Keller. F. II. W. BRIGGMANN, Sec, and Trens. Brevities. Several Swedes passed by the planta tion of Dr. Bates searching for work. Wo understand that he offered them land &c Judge Mackey consents to recognise Mr. Youmans as a member of the bar, notwithstanding Judge Carpenter's order to the contrary. On the first, a baud of robbers stopped a train near St. Louis, put the conductor, train hands, and Express messenger un der guard, then robbed all the passengers, and the Adams Express Safe. Loss heavy. Judge Carpenter was brought up be fore a cointniteo of investigation at Co lumbia, for discharging a negro jury in Kcrshaw County for incompctency. Tho jury could neither read, or write, and bad brought in a verdict contrary to evidence, Tho judge did well, but how dared be to offend those who mnko judges. An Old feud Revived [From the Neica & Courier.'] fiy^fti Tho political feud, which had its origin twenty-fivo years ago between Jefferson Davis and Henry ?. Footo, both then of Mississipi, and warm political opponents and which lived through successive party campaigns in the State and the country, did not abate ono jot, except for a breif and delulive tru e, when Mr. Davis be-' came President of the Confederate States, aud Mr. Foote a member oftheCoufedc iate House of Representatives, and sur vived the wreck and ruin of the war and its defeats. It seems to-day to have in1 creased in inteusity and bitterness in spite of.their gray heads and growing wisdom and thousands of cxainplesof part, and persounl reconciliation tha,t have oc curred while they, perpetuated their quarrel. Recent publications ?.f Mr. Footo in Washington papers ' nffeeting Mr. Davis have added, fresh' mate rial to their mutual wrath, nnd now it is reported that a duel is actually being arranged by which to cud the feiid forever. Tho following letters form the present climax of the trouble, the fuse appearing in the Washington Capitol, and being a private letter written last fall: i.kttku from Mil. dav18 Mkmpiiis, Tknn., November 25, 1873, ?Sir.-, Dear ?\r, Yours of the 20th instant has beeil this day received. I have not seen any of the articles which you inform me It. 8. Foote had written in abuse of me, nor have I had any desire1 to read whatever he might write. In 1851 I published him as constitu tionally a liar, atd his subsequent career only served to confirm me in that judg ment. Since that date, thcrc.'ore, I have taken no heed of the utterances of said Foote. His flattery, when he was seek ing political preferment in tho Confede racy, and his abuse when, faithless to his trust as a representative in t\\? Congress of the Confederate States, lie was prepar ing for his subsequent desertion to their enemy, were alike disregarded by me. You arc at liberty to use this as yen think proper. I remain, respectfully and truly, yours, Jkfkkuson Davis. ni:i.i.i(.'i:ui.nt c.vno fijom Mi:, footh. The following card is published in the Washington Chronicle by Mr. FoOte: As a portion of the community may possibly expect from me some notice of the in mi ting and grossly nspersivo letter over the signature of Jeffcrmn Davis, which yesterday morning made its pearancb in the columns of tho Capitol? though the glaring nieudacity of all the allegations of fact contained therein might well justify me treating the letter itself and its infamous author with cool and passionless contempt, jet, for certain reasons hot difficult I imagine, to ho di vined, 1 have thought proper to take a somewhat different course, I shall not now gu into a detail of past i occurrences with a view of my own vin dication. It is not possible for the ruined and disgraced champion of disunion to sny aught of me, or of my public career, which could in the least degree disturb my equanimity. Ho has cherished nn undying hatred for me ever since his own presumptuous arrogance, on a very noted occasion, compelled mo to slap his jaws in this city in the winter of 1847-48. The hostility thus ei gendered whs afterward Much heightened bj my defeat of his( treasonable aspirations to the office ofi Governor of Mississippi as a secession' candidate in 1851. My constant and uu yielding opposition to him nnd his nefari ous schemes in Richmond during the war of tho rebellion for three years was not at nil calculated to assuage his enmity. My free, but unanswered, and \- veilUire to say unanswerable, expositions hut sum mer of his indecent und seditious attempts to keep alive in the bosoms of his coun trymen feelings of irritation ami' aliena tion which ought never to have been brought into existence, have doubtless much inflamed the malignity which was slumbering in the recesses of a heart capable of all mischief I rejoice to know that the blighting curse of Mr. Davis's commendation it never can now be my ill fortune to incur. Rut I bid this mighty man of Gat b, who writes so blus trously for publication in the newspapers, that I do not live in absolute conceal ment; my whereabouts may bo easily found by him or his idolizing confeder ates. He knows, as thousands of others know, that for full twenty years J have stood ready to accord to him buch satis faction as he might deem nccccssnry to his deeply-wounded honor; and that, whatever general views I may entertain touching tho propriety of settling such is sues as have arisen between him and my self in the mode rcforcd to, yet that, from i special deference to him, I shall be alto gether induced to make his an exception al cose The habitual calumniator of of honest and patriotic men has no right to skulk behind tho hypocritical pre tences of extreme piety.
