the head are still lavish of their disin.
terested (?) advice to the people of the
South. ihey are especially extravagant
in counsel to tho "unreconstructed"
voters of Virginia, Mississippi and Texas
begging them to reject their State Con
stitutions whenever and in whatever
form presented. One of their principal
ral objects is to prevent the ratification
OF the Fifteenth Amendment, as they do
not wish the mere handful of negroes at
the North to vote.
The reader will remember that Cen
gress has made the ratification of the
Fifteenth Amendment n condition pre-
cedent to the restoration or admission of
Virginia, Mississippi and Texas to the
Union. So our dear Democratic friends
of the North would have those States
remain "out in the cold" indefinitely if
they will only reject all the terms offered
by Congress we admit, not ac-
ceptable to them, but certainly the best
terms they can get.
1t will be long time, we imagine, be-
fore the Southern people will again be
found under the influence and leadership
of such journals rs the New York World
Journals which have no real interests
in common with us, aud which arc sim
ply actuated by motives of personal in
terest.
1t has now been moro than four years
since the work of reconstruction com
menced. During that time all the
Southern States except Virginia Mis-
sssirpi and Texas has been, after fash
ion, admitted into the Union. 1t is pre-
sumcd, therefore, that all our people
have learned something from experience.

cialiy, that the voters of the three .'un

pudent dictati,n of the Marble hearted
World and its coadjutors will, and
of right should not exert the slightest
influence.
Let these advisers of the South attend
to their own business, and we will at
tend to ours. They have already done
us incalculable harm, as we all know to

R5Sirhe, return of the, County Assessors
made the valuation of Real Property in
this County 81 Al, 900, and the State
Board made it 1889, ,207.
The Charleston Daily Ncws in com
mcnting upon the additions made by the
State Board says: "whether the increased
assessment was made by simple rule of
thumb or from information in possession
of the Board" it has no means of know
ing.
Now it must be noticed that the addi-
ton to the assessment made in the case
of Orangcburg County is greater by 100
per cent. than that made in any other
County i'll the State.
This would show that the returns
made of property in this County had
bceu dishonest; lower than in any other
County in the State. This insinuated
imputation we repudiate. But it is upon
no chimera or fancied slandcr that we
would protest against this treatment of
our County. 1t is because our lands
were valued at their full market value,
and in many cases higher than their
market value in the assessment made and
equalizcd by the County Board, and that
this increased valuation of the real pro-
perty in the County is disproportionatc,
unequal and unjust, that we protest
against it. 1t is because this increased
and exorbitant taxation cannot be paid,
that we protest against it.
Two-thirds of our peoplc-nay, nine
tenths of them cannot pay it, and in
anticipation of the executions, levies and
sales that must ensue, we protest against
it.
Blighted by the accidents of war, pc.
culiarly felt, our County has been strug-
Cling to regain her former status. In
dustry and economy have triumphed
over disorganization and disadvantages Of
the new state of affairs, and over bad
seasons, only to be consumed by this ig
norant and unequal taxation. Whether
this action of the State Board was due
to "information in their possession Oh
whether made by simple rule of thumb,
we cry out against it as infamous-w,
protest against it as wrong.
We might cxpiate upon the subjec
under the burning sense of wrong re
ceived, but forbear. We have sale
enough.

Health and the Apostolic BIessing Havinc
said, in the letter which we addressed to yon
Venerable Brother, on the fourth day of Sep
tember last, that subjects which had already
been carefully examined and decided by an
Ecumenical Council cOIfld not again be called
in question; that therefore no place could be
given in the approaching Conncil for any de-
fense Of errors which had been condemned
vited non-Catholics to a discussion, we now
learn that some of those who dissent from our
faith have so understood those words as to be-
ieve that no way is left open to them of making
known the dlficulties which keep them sepa-
rated from the Catholic Church, and that al
most all approach to us is cut on. But 30 far

that we even 60 forth to meet them; and moth

to be able to stretch out our arms with fathers

never certainly have we wished to impose
silence upon those who, misled by their educa-
ton, and believing their opinions to be right
tnink that their dissent from us rests upon
strong arguments which they would wish to be
examined by wise and prudent men. For

SO that even out of the contest of a discussion
undertaken solely with desire of finding oui
the truth, they may receive a more abun-
dant light to guide them to it. And may very
many propose this to themselves, and carry
It out In good faith. For it could not be done
without great profit TO themselves and To Others
to themselves, indeed, because God will show
HIS face to those who seek him with their whole
heart, and will give them what they long for; to
Others, because not only the example Of emf

THE House WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE
Hon. James Brooks, of New York, arrived her,
this morning to attend the meeting of this com
mittee, Of which he is a member. The commit
tee met at the Capitol this morning and imme-
diately proceeded to business. By an order OF
the House they are required to report
within two weeks after the beginning OF
the session. The members of the committee
dined with their colleague, Mr.. Hooper, of
Massachusetts,, last evening. There was gen
eral comparison of views as to the outlines OF
the bill which the committee will propose for
enactment into law on such matters as have
been suggested by their observations and inyes-
LEGATIONS during the past season. 1t is probable
that there will be an effort made at the coming
session Of Congress to modify both the internal
revenue and tariff laws. AS to the tariff law
there will certainly be some important modifica-
tions, as it is understood that one of the commit
tee, Judge Kelly, has submitted propositions
that are approved by his colleagues generally.
wherebyprovision is to be made for the removal
of the tariff on large number Of articles that
we do not produce in this country, in the aggre-
gate making a reduction Of tariff income OF
about seventy millions Of dollars in this direc-
ton.
