THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

What has come TO US of the Presi-
dents Message is satisfactory in re-
msrkable degree. When ii comes in
full we mean 10 publish it. In the
meantime we are constrained to epiro-
mjze tina, which has already been tele-
sraphed.
The President recapitulates the sum
and substance OF his admirable Thanks
giving Proclamation +; takes the very
6rmest ground in support of the Recon
suuc,ion Acts of Congress; says good,
strong word for the Freedmen; talks
with rare practical sense with regard TO
tie Nationsl Debt /; speaks firmly in
favor of the admission of vi ginia. and
alludes hopefully to the Mississippi and
TEXAS elections; reflects what we have
always thought BoutwelI's theory of
disposing Of the currency and debt /;
talks with great calnness aud genuine
philosophy of the great questions Of
political economy which aeita,e the
country; alludes to the Cuban question
in the fairest conceivable spirit: has the
courage to iterate his faith in the Mon
roe Doctrine while evsding the bombast
and absurd brsvado of the Ostend
Manifesto of James Buchanan; treats
Of the Alabama Clsims with great
ciesrness and reliance upon a sense Of
American rights in the premises; and,
with characteristic frmness, declares
against the renewal of the reciprocity
treaty with Canada. As far as it goes,
il strikes US as one Of the calmest,
most decided, honest and admirable
State papers that ever emanated from
tie White House. Grant, the President,
seems to be a worthy successor OF
Grant, the General.

TaB CALIFoRNIA LEGISLATURE is in

they will not do lie to pass the Fifteenth

a chance to deposi, ballot at the next

to ask them for their services nor honest
enough to pay them for their exercise.

curious mark on its back like a skull

the comb, aud draws much honey into

there are many bees lowering round

aligh,s and moves toward the door they
do not take much notice: yet one sting
would kill it, and il has no means of
burning the bee in return. So much
troubled are some hives by these curious

of wax just within the hive door, allow

moth, and it cannot enter. On the

bees occasionally pull down some of the

THE TAX QUESTION IN ORANGE
BURG.
rysox OUR OWN oonarspmDrsr.l

s., TYBoN OUR OWN coRREsPaNDENT.
OnnsalBuRa, August Ca word now in re-
gard to theetate taxes. When it was learned
that the Board Of Equalization had added 300
per cent. to the valuation OF property IN
Orangeburg, the taxpayers Of our district,
after mature delberation, appointed q COM
mittee to wait on "his Excellency" and the
other excellencies at Columbia, to petition an
abatement. The committee were received
courteously and assured Of the willingness Of
the authorities to do justice to the taxpayers.
The com mittee we're sent back TO instruct the
citizens that their grievances should be stated
in petition, endorsed by disinterested per-
sons, and forwarded through the County Au-
ditor. A general raid was made on foolscap
and the,appHcations were duly deposited with
the proper dignitary, and in due time, among
the rest, your correspondent repaired to hear
his doom. He was not disappointed when he
learned that an abatement was mlde, at the
caprice Of the County Auditor, OF 3S and so
per cent ON Main-street property, and only Is
per cent. on mine in Msrket-street, which is
less elgibly located and OF less intrinsic value.
Three several appeals were made to Caesars
court; but in vain. The wrong and injustice
shown, made no more impression than tenn
perance lecture would on the Sphinx; and am
constrained to think, that as q few Of us yet
hold dear those political views which will one
day triumph over corruption, we are taxed pro
rata with the contempt expressed thereupon.
It is Illuminating to see men who cannot,
without hired assistance, write up their books,
presume to express an opinion as to the value
Of property, and suffered to decide in relation
to assessments, their decision being based on
the amount Of goodwill they bear towards the
taxpayer. But such state Of venality can
not last long.
