APPLICATION OF THE LEGAL REMEDY.
The Executive Com mittee of the Tax.
payers Convention met in Colum bia las,
week. We learn that the gentlemen in
attendance have given their attention to
the troubled condition of our State
finances, as is meet and proper, aud that
they are preparing to push legal RENE
dies against participants in the despe.
rate games enacted by our State officials.
1t would not surprise US that the action
OF the Executive Committee might be
anticipated by some of these officials,
=ud imitation vi Mr. himpiou, that they
should take flight to other regions.
Therefore, We hope to see no unneces.
sary delay in instituting whatever legal
remedies against the thieves and plum
derers that learned counsel might sug-
gost. We believe that the law will oom-
pei surrender Of their trusts, where it
can be shown clearly and unequivocally
chat high officials have exercised those
trusts to their own private advantage,
aud to the detriment OF the public veal.
Then. il there is law to protect the olsi.
z-ns of this commonwealth from rapa.
o,ous plunderiug and vile combinations,
10; its Ggis be invoked at once. We
would earnestly urge the affiliation of all
good men, irrespective Of party politics,
In this movement to reach the oonspira-
tors by due process OF law. AS in New
York. 80 let 1t be in South Carolina, that
the people demand redress Of the courts.
1t is the only safe, thorough remedy, in
our Judgment, and will prove a bulwark
of safety in the future.

While Joe Crews aud his clique were
i'm Laurens. all was confusion, turmoil
and riot. Since they left, all has been
peace and order. as muoh SO as any
County in the United States. Now, see
Gov. Scott's picture. Gov. S,ott gives
us specimen of somebody's speech.
tsomebody's name not given,) but does
not give Joe Crews speech at Waterloo,
Is attessed by more than thirty gentle
men who heard it, A majority of Gov.
SCOTS judges are not of his party.
Among them is Judge Orr, on old time
Democrat! As far az know, until re-
Icently, Gov. Scott did not make q single
appointment in Laurens outside of his
party. Gov. Scott received deputatiou
!Of gentlemen from Laurens kindly, and
from his manner, led them to suppose
he believed them. Was this or was it
not hypocrisy? If the Reform party had
not exposed the swindles OF Gov. Scott
and his clique, how else could they have
stopped their reckless, if not tbieving,
career? Gov. Scott was opposed to mar
tial law, but now defende it stoutly. See
his message Gov. Scott says South Ca
rolina is not taxed higher than other
States; but lie does not soy she is not
increasing her debt far more rapidly; but
Is not this putting of the evil day? The
time will come when the debt must be
paid or rapudiated. Gov. Scott taxes
the poor man out of his home, and then
points to the Homestead" You must
give uo better bid, Gov. Scott. When,
ten years ago, was worth four times as
much as am now, my State tax was
$40. My tax last year was nearly $500,
or twelve times as much cd cdioren,; and
yet Gov. Scott says our taxes are not
high. To the press and people of South
Carolina, hold in, hold inl The game is
to exasperate you to words and deeds of
violence, 80 as to give Grant pretext to
"let slip the dogs of war;" Not quite
one-half of the people Of South Cnro-
lima 1.-THE whites) pny taxes. This should
be remembered in comparing the tax of
this State with what is paid in other
States. See the tax of Delaware. In
South Carolina, the tax payers have no
representation. Is that the case in any
other republican government in the
world? Those who levy the taxes do not
pny them.
Why is Gov. Scott so sensitive about
the credit of the State? Is it because
the want of it stops the profits and spe.
cnlations OF the ring? Certainly it is
not because he wishes to reduce the
taxes. Beware Of little debts" "Think
what you do when yon go into debt,
says DIR. Franklin. Why should poor
South Carolina go in debt at all? Would
it not be better to wear the sold coat Q
little while longer?" We sadly need
school of political economy. If our
Legislature could keep a fair ledger &C.
count, and see on the balance. sheet how
we stand. If they are honest. they would
know how to shape their course. WHO
shall teach such school? Shall Leslie,
or Hurley, or Crews? sit is foolish to
lay out money in purchase of repent
ance."

Immediately after the Chicago FIRE,
the directors met and resolved to make
up the stock at once, and as soon as Su-
perintendent Miller was released from
the convention then in session in this
city, lie made an examination OF the
affAirs OF the company and fixed the
amount necessary to be raised to make
tue assets up to the full standard re-
CURED by our laws. The directors,
without delay, called on the stockholders
for Sl,500,O0 and the same is now
being rapidly pnid in in advance of the
time fixed by the Superintendent. Snoh
action is worthy OF uii praise. and inst
what the public expected from the
wealthy stockholders of this company.
Thirty days from now will find the oom.
pany's assets over $4,000. 900. and it's
future will be as brilliant as its past has
been Insurers appreciate such libe-
raiity, aud the company is now geaping
u rich reward in premium receipts, mora
than double those Of the corresponding
period OF last year. It is right that it
shonld be SO. The Home continues to
make policies as strong as any in tho
