Rebel Rule.
Some time since, Gen. Candy issued an
order that a County tax would be levied in
South Carolina for the support of the colpred
people who had been thrown out ofemploy-
ment for the manner in which they voted in
the late election. d 1t is not at all improba-
bile that this order will be extended to North
Carolina, and our Union Republican friends
in this State be taxed again on account of
rebel perversity and malignity. The tax
under which we arc now laboring was
created by the rebels. who instigated and
fought out the rebellion. Union men think
it hard that no distinction should he made
in its payment between themselves and those
who are responsible for the debt. The rebels
add insult to injury when they force another
tax upon the loyal people by throwing
women and children helpless and starving
out of doors, because the men voted to ex-
ecute the will of the nation. There are
thousands ofhungry colored people roaming
about the State seeking employment, who
would have been employed if they had
voted tn please their rebel employers. 1t is
not surprising that little meal or
piece of meat should sometimes turn up
missing when wife and children have been
fasting forty eight hours. 1t not surprising
that colored people should be found in Jail
when they are baited with corn or meat left
lying in fence corners to tempt their empty
stomachss Is it surprising, considering the
hostility exhibited towards them by our
best men," that they should be put to Jail
for want of security, when all that is neces-
sary to send them there is for man to
swear that he believes the "nigger is going
to kill him or burn him up? If this oath is
taken with we'll affected terror, the effect
produced is very fine, and the poor I'M
fortunate goes to Jail.
Do men know what they are doing when
they let their devilish passions so far prevail
over their little judgment as to enter into a
conspiracy to stock this State with paupers :
The matter deserves serious consideration.
There are remedies which may be applied if
the evil becomes more alarming. We refer
to national legislation on the subject, and
not to any unlawful remedies.
