10 the Tax Payers of Fairfield

Thinking that aome action should
be taken on tho part of tho Tax Pay.
ers of Fairfield, in response to tic
resolutions passed by the Charleston
Board of Trade, cohdenhatory of tho
burdehsome system Of taxation fas-
tened dpon us by our present corrupt
Legislature, we respectfully call on
the tax paying citizens of this County
to meet at the Court House on the
first Monday In May, to consult togeths
or as to the best plan Of alleviatipg
our unfortunate condition and to ap-
point delegates to represent US in the
State Convention to be held in Colum.

Convention would not be tied down to
any special plan. Every voter who
isin favor of any kind Of reform
would vote fora Convention ! and if
wise and good men could flnd their
way into such a body, doubtless somo
plan would beadopted whiohss%opld
improve the condition Of things. >
Many schemes would doubtless be
presented, and if nothing more could
be effected than the Illinois plan of
allowing : representative aiihority,
much would be gained. p But Il um
much more hopeful than that. be-
lieve that if We would all unite in n
vigorous and good tempered effort, we
could procure, At kthc least, a tax
paying qualification for the voters.
Even such qualification could be ar
ranged, 80 as not to disfranchise pres~
ent voters. BY adopting a scheme
similar to that which prevails in cor
porati'Ds, and fixing grade to each
vote propor,ioned to the tax paid by
the votcr--that Is to Say, allowing an
additional vote for every ten or tw.n.
y N0i" van P"iu LII support OF tue
government, very efficient check
could be introduced. This plan would
have the great recommendation Of
restoring, in some degree, the excel,
lent provision in our late State Con-
stitution which established a rate of
representation, compounded of pro-
perty and population.
1t seems to me that if all parties
would simply unite at present in pro.
noting the call of a Convention, a
great advance could be made towards
q peaceful solution of our difficulties !;
and | would suggest to you as an edi-
tor with much influence on both sides,
whether it would not be your best
course to set aside all differences atd
urge that the first step be taken at
the next session of the Legislature,
and that the question be referred to
the voters at the next general cleo.

be called.

An Illustration Used Against its Auth or.

In his speech on Wednesday last in
the United States Senate Mr.. Schurz
said
The Senator from Wisconsin in a fiue
strain Of classic cloqueuoc likcncd the
Senator from Massachusetts to Brutus
striking his dagger into C1sar's breast
after Casca and Cassius had already
done their work. 1t Vas a beautiful
figure, and the likeness is better
than tho Senator from Wisconsin
thought. TO be sure the dagger was
not leveled at the breast of republican
ism, but the weapon went straight
into the heart Of C;c&arism and the
Senator from Wisconsin, scholar as
he is, will remember that the world
has since agreed to call Brutus "tho
noblest Roman of them all: GAp-
plause in the galleries.

Tho condition Of political affairs ii
South Carolina is cxtraordihary.-
This every one must admit. And
some extraordinary and peculiarly
local cxpcdiont, to bo searched out
and contrivcd by the wisest men,
within our State, assembled in Consti.
tutional Convention, and by then,
alone, is absolutely essential to har.
mony, security and peace. Sober
citizens must some how be induced to
give hearty and earnest support to
the ST. to government, tr lawlessnoss
and violence will most surely cndeav.
or to apply their brutal remedies both
for real, and also for imaginary Ills.
1t is, therefore, most cheer(ully that
we respond to the appeal of Mr.. Mem
minger, made in his letter to the
editor of this paper, which we publish
to day, and call for a Constitutional
Convention, to consider and debate
our condition, and contrive a method
of harmonizing all classes of our peo-
| pic.
We, at the same time, declare,
that we arc opposed to any attempt
by said Convention, when it meets, to
take away the right of suffrage from
any oitizen of either race who has
already exercised it because, in the
first place, we do not believe State
Convention will have any except a
revolutionary power to do so, and be
cause, if it had, there are better
means of producing harmony than
depriping any man Of the right to
vote such for example, as minority
representation Or an extraordinary
Board of Tax Commissioners, elooted
exclusively by property-holdors, with
veto power upon taxation and ap-
preparation, but only when it is cxces
sive or tho plan Of voting now in
use by corporations, rs suggested by
MIR. Mcmmiuger.
II viii DO observed that No 10 not
lay great stress upon the special
gricvrnce Of the tax for 1871 being
called for two months earlier, and
thus made a tax Of Is 3-5 mills on
the dollar. We bolieve that the
State Legislature will undoubtodly
give quietus to all further talk
about tho matter, by simply extend.
ing the time Of putting on tile penalty
for non'paymont Of the tax to March
lst, 1872. It is comparatively "a
small matter, and q request by tho
May Convention, respectfully made,
will meet with cheerful concurrence.
The State Government, it Is true, by
the change of time of collecting the
tax, gains two months time, and
should, in consideration Of that gain,
havo made. tho tag onesixth less.
But we haye concluded not ttto, ,fprthes
