The children Of the Wisncr (colorctD

Tuesday ut noon, when two young men
from MorchouSc, who We're pretty full
OF bcnzinc, came dashing along on their
horses and rode through the midst of
the children. One Of the men discharged
his pistol in p;lssing-wc are informed,
ut Il dog, or perhaps in spirit of bravo
and the hoOfS Of one of the horses
struck without seriously wOunding, one
or two of the children. The men were
pursued by the Sheriff and arrested
Mr.. Slack summoned Il cloud Of witness
SOS (to save expenses to the parish) and
the accused We're put upon trial We'd
nc5'lay, and acquitted on Thursday.
We can but condemn such conduct as
this on the part of good citizens. The
little negroes ought to have opened I,
way for the furious horscmen, but the
highways belonging to all alike, those
who use them should do SO with refer
cncc to the rights Of others. Streets
are not the place for children to play,
but at the same time it is cruel fol-
forSrnncn to ride among them at tho
risk of serious injury to the children
We doubt not these young men arc
heartily ashamed of their conduct, anG
We forfcar giving their names.

Lynching Negro Murderers.

INDIANAPOLIS, November II.
Three negroes, who murdered the Park
family, near Henryvillc, Indiana, were
taken from Jail, at Charleston, at two
o'clock this morning, by q mob of one
hundred and fifty men in disguises, and
hanged from tree half mile from town.
And the brutal murderers received
their just deserts. But had this lynching
have occurred in Edgefeld, the town
would ere this have been swarming with
Yankee soldiers, and our Jail would have
been packed with our best and most
prominent citizens. In Indiana, how
ever, the government pets" can be
disposed of in the most summary man.
ner, and it is all right. Last spring a
similar lynching occurred at Unionville,
and near a hundred persons have been
arrested OH the lying report of some Rad
ical negro, charged with being implica
ted in that affair. Consistency isas much
jewel in Governments and Government
officials as in private individuals.

THE ADVERTISER.
Edgefield, s. C., Nov. %, 1871.

Shall we Pay our Taxes, or Not2
The two great public questions that
asitate our State just now are: Shall we
pay our Taxes? And shall we not repu-
tliate all State Bonds issued in fraud?
AS regards the first question, our Coun-
ty Treasurer is now calling again for the
payment of Taxes; and notwithstanding
that we have already paid one State and
County tax this s-year, andthat Gov. Scott
promised not to force the collection OF
another tax this yearr-which promise he
is now shamelessly -disregarding-yet if
it is as sconvenient for us to pay taxes now
as it VIII be early nextspring, we see no
particular good to result in postponing
the matter. Z.
And furtKerinore, ,Aweare assured by
the County Auditor and the County
Treasurer that the taxes now assessed
against the taxpayers of this County
amount to but little over half of those
assessed during each ofthe lasttwo years.
And II this be the case, perhaps 1t would
be we'll to pay up said tax for 1871 with
out delay-before the Legislature shall
have time to add an additional per cent
to the assessment of our Equalization
Board. There is law that taxes must
be paid to support the Government; and
perhaps instead of bringing the Govern
ment to dead lock by refusing to pay
these taxes, It were better and safer to
bring the corrupt officials before the bar
of legal justice, and there sift and pun
ish their misdeeds.
P. S.-Since writing the above, we
have read an able letter from Judge AL
drich of Barnwell upon the matter un-
der discussion. Judge Aldrich is men,
Der of the Executive Committee of thf
Tax Payers Convention, and addresses
his letter to the Hoi:. James Chesnu'
Chairman of said Committee. 1t will bc
remembered that the Convention adj
journed subject to the call of the Presi-
dent and Executive Committee. This
letter is published in the Charleston pI
pers. Judge Aldrich strongly an,lahlN
advocates the non-payment OF the taxes
but advises that nothing Of the sort shal,
be done without mature deliberation aud
perfect unanimity of action throughou;
the State. He says:
In view of our present mortifying and
distressed condition, renew my propo
sition of last spring, not to pay the taxes.
But as such a plan of action cannot be
carried out utwitnoutunanimity end concert
OF design, it will be necessary for the
Convention to meet and perfect the de-
tails, so that every taxpayer will not on
ly have its moral support, but be instruc-
ted as to the mode Of operation. Hence,
/ address this note to you through the
newspapers, in order to invite attention.
elicit discussion, and prepare the public
mind for the cheerful reception of any
scheme that may be prepared for adop-
ton.
We agree with Judge Aldrich and 9TH
er inf1ueGtialmen, that the time has come
for the re assembling of the Taxpayers
Convention. And while we have given,
above, our honest advice to the tax pay
ers of our County, yet should the Con
vention be called to meet again, and ad-
wise differently, we should certainly not
council Edgefeld to mar the general plan
Of action.
