BETHEL. -Alessrs. T. +. Wilson & Son, the en-
terprisng propretors of the Depot House at this
village appear to be Hourishng finely. They
have recently been putting on an addition to their
building, whereby they are able to accommodate
nearly one hundred guests at time, and they
evidently do not intend to be outdone by any of
the neighboring landlords They certainly pro-
vide well for any who may give them a call Mr.
Wilson announces his second annual ball on the
evening of the Fourth Of July, which will doubt
less be an enjoyable occasion
The annual fair of the White River Valley
Agricultural Association is to be held at Bethel
sometime next fall, at which time among other
attractions, spirited horse trot may be expected.
DR. G. L. +. Sparhawk of Gaysyille lost a
valuable span Of horses at this village on Satur-
day last His driver had driven the horses into
the bridge near the depot in order that they
might not be frightened at an approaching train
of cars. While endeayorng to hold them in the
bridge, he broke a rein and the horses ran, cross
ing the track just the train was passing, in
stantly killing one horse and njurng the other
50 badly that he was subsequently killed the
wagon also was thoroughly demoralized, but the
driver escaped unhurt. No injury was done to
the train as 1t was moving very slowly at the
time.

PARIs.-Matters baye been growing from bad
to worse in Paris with remarkable celebrity dur
ing the week past The Red Republicans have
almost complete control of the city, have barricad-
ed the streets and daily and almost hourly COM
bats occur between them aud the army of the
Theirs government. A large number of both
parties have been killed, and the greatest frenzy
is exhibited by both sides. In this hour of her
extremity, Paris has but one hope, and that is
that the Germans will reenter the city and restore
peace and order. This appears to be the only
alternative, and the only chance for the presqya-
ton Of even the city itself,

R.moval OF Political Disabilities.

Wednesday Aorning. March 20. 1871
removal OF Political Disabilities.
From tue reports made in the Congress
sional Globe. we observe that both the
South Caroline members of the United
States Senate-Messrs. Sawyer and
Robertson-made strong and earnest
appeals in behalf OF further removal
of those political disabilities which
attach to many OF our citizens. 1t is
true that the bill that they advocate does
not provide for complete amnesty
ing, us it does. certain exceptions-but as
we understand Messrs Sawyer and
Robertson, they advocate this partial
measure of relief rs the best to be done
in view OF the sentiments of majority
Of their cole leagues. This is also the po-
sition of Mr.. Beck, the Dem ocratic mem
ber Of tue House from Kentucky.
Whilst we cannot assent to the spirit
of some of the arguments that Messrs.
Sawyer and Robertson employ in the
course of their reported remarks, yet we
are fres to say thnt their efforts in this di-
rection are entitled to recognition on the
partof every citizen who desires to see the
country harmonious and proper govern
mental principles prevail. Amnesty
and enfranohisement for the South" has,
in fact. come very generally to be the
policy of conservative Republicans. The
movement, lately inaugurated in Ohio, to
put the Republican party on new de-
parture, suggests the following as live
issues, viz: Uni0ersal Amnesty, Free
Trade, CsoiI Service Reform and Hurd
Money. Tie manifesto issued to the
public by the movers make this as their
first point-that the further continuance
of the policy of disfranchisement is in
compatible with proper regard for the
fundamental principles of republican
government and sound craftsmanship.
The movers say further, that whilst they
intend to "maintain the great results of
the war" ",oe insist that its enmilies and
r,sentn,ents shall be buried, that all remain
ing causes of irritation shall be remoued,
and that all political disabilities imposed for
participation in the rebellion shall be abo-
lished'' This declaration on tho part of
the liberal Republicans of Ohio. engaged
in the new movement, will be appreciated
by the Southern people interested.
They earnestly desire, we believe, to
unite with good men all over this broad
land in the effort to establish peace and
prosperity, aad to devote their energies
to the work of development moral, ma
terial and mental

Hon. C. G. Memminxer TO Gov. Scott.
Under date of MARCH, "a, Mr.. Mem
minger addresses O letter to Gov. Scott,
giving his suggestions of the remedy for
existing evils. As to the cause of the
combinations which have exhibited
themselves in the upper Counties of the
State, Mr.. Memminger remarks:
"There con be no difficulty in ascer-
tnining the cause of these combinations
1t is undoubtedly the conviction that the
existing government of the State is ut
terly corrupt; and that it has failed in
all the duties which are required at it's
hands; that there is no adequate securi-
ty or life or properly, aud thnt the taxes
laid by the Legislature must eventuate
in virtual confscntion of the entire in
come of the citizens"
He then proceeds to consider whether
this conviction is we'll founded. He
then suggests that there should be a
change in the constituency which elects
the Legislature. He says:
ga more intelligent body of voters,
and one directly responsible to pay the
taxes which are imposed by their repre-
sentatives, would speedily provide n
remedy. Under their auspices. an intel
ligent and virtuous Legislature wonld
again make it's appearance, and the laws
pointed to administer them. would again
command public confidence, and ensure
the peace and tranquility of the State.
''Al this can be obtained by simply
following the lead Of that State which
our present rulers would regard as the
fountain of political wisdom, and amend
ing our constitution 80 as to conform the
qualifications of voters to that required
in Massachusetts, Let the voters be
only such rs can read and have paid
some tax for the support of the Govern
ment, and the representatives will at
once change their character. Such q
qualification in the voters would discri-
inmate only against ignorance, aud
would place it in the power of every man
to take part in the Government, what
ever may be his race or color
Whilst MIR. NJ. appreciates the difficult
ties connected with carrying out his
programme. he holds that these difficult
ties are not insuperable. In conclusion,
he gives his persuasion that no other
peaceful remedy can be made available,
and he uroes his plan upon the Governor
and all those who seek the permanent
peace and welfare of the Stntc. AS n
citizen devoted to South Carolina, Mr..
Memminger will find his views duly con-
sidered. Fully impressed, as we are,
with the great Importance of securing
relief without violence. from existing
evils, we commend to general considera-
end.

Resistaace TO Taxasion. ~ ~
GRHENvMLE, March "a. Il

f Mr.. EDITOR: The question Of taxation,
always an important one, has now as
tsumed, to our people, unusual ,impor;
tauoe. have received reliable informa-
ton, from q majority of the Counties 10
tho State, that not more than two-thirds
of the land owners have paid their tax,
and in some Counties nearly one.haf
have not paid their tax. and, in almost
every instance, it has resulted from the
inability of the owners of property to
pay. How can the people live, and pay
their taxes, when, in very many cases. it
takes one.half their income to pay their
tax? The average tax levied in the
several Counties is about twelve dollars
on the thousand dollars, assessed value,
of your entire property, productive and
non-productive Now, we oil know that
our people do not realize more than
seven per cent. upon the assessed value
of their property, and majority do not
realize that much. The reader will thus
perceive, at glance, that, if he realizes
only seventy dollars from his thousand
dollars worth of property, and pays to
the County Treasurer twelve dollars of
that seventy, then he pays, less fraction.
the sixth part of his income for tuxesi
Now, whenever q person realizes less
than seven per cent. from their property,
then, of course, it takes probably half
the income to pay tax. Now. we all
know that if it takes one. fourth or one
fifth of a mans income to pay his tax. lie
cannot continue long TO do any business.
Now, there is only one remedy for this
grievous wrong, and that is II firm resolve
on the part of the people not to pay the
next tux; and. for the purpose Of secur-
ing unanimity and CONCERT of action, let
several of the leading citizens of the
State present respectful remonstrance
| to the Governor. and then, if he cunnot
or will not afford us relief. then. the next
best thing for us to do, let these sume
gentlemen call convention, to meet at
Columbia, and to be composed of inhn-
entail citizens from the several Counties.
who shall unite the people upon some
means of relief. Now, in my humble
opinion, the best thing we can do. if
remonstrunce fails, is for the people to
unanimously refuse to pay the next tax.
This is peaceable remedy, for we thus
do not make any resistance to the law,
but simply fail to pay our tax. The
citizen thus places the necessity Of action
upon tho State, aud, if even good
majority of her citizens do not pay their
tux, undertake to say that she cannot
collect the tax. 1 hope that you viii
agitate this question. NJ.

RICHMOND AND THE SOUTH. Letters

latory terms of the prospect of keeping
open the lines connecting us with the
Southern coast. A letter IRON Colum-
bia. S. c., assures us that Richmond
mny open n trade with that section. We
have two lines connecting us with the
South Carolina cupitnl-one by Dam Vile,
the other by Wilmington, N. O. There
are several branch roads at Columbia
that open m extensive area of fertile
country to those who establish inter
course with that city.
The route by Wilmington, by branch
lines, connects very directly with Charles

The active aud harmonious operations
OF the several roads forming the const
line hold out the brightest promises for
Richmond. Our people should profit Ivy
their opportunity.-Richmond Dispatch
