THE UNION TROUBLES.

On Sunday, Jan. l, MIR. MAT; STE
VEINS was dragged from his wagon a
few miles from Uuion Court House,
and murdered in cold blood BY band
Of armed negro militia. The attempt to
arrest some Of item was resisted with
arms, and one or more Of the militia
outlaws were killed.
Some Of the arms held by the colored
militia were taken from them, ard it
appears, as We learn from the Columbia
Pkenir, that on Sunday, Jan. l, Capt.
ALEcK WALKER, the colCred captain
of the militia, applied to the parties who
mad charge of the guns, belonging to
the militia, but his demand was refused,
and he was subsequently arrested
charged with the killing Of Mr. NAT.
STEVENS. Fifteen Of his militia were
also arrested. On Wednesday evening,
q party Of unknown horsemen went to
the Sheriff and peremptorily demanded
the keys of 'he Jail they we've given
up, and they proceeded to the Jail and
took charge Of Eve Of the prisoners
Captain a. WALKER, CHARNER uEsN.
DON, JOE VAN LEW, ANDY THOMPSON
and SyLvASUs WRIGHT The next
morning, the bodies of WALKER and
IIERNDoN we're discovered in the road ;
and it was afterwards fusad out that
THOMPSON and WRIGHT, were badly
wounded.
We are further Informed tAat Mr.,
Smith, Qhe acting deputy,) Who was
woun cd on Sunday last, died on
Thursday night.
A number Of the good citizens Of
Union hare visited Columbia, asking
protection from the State authorities
from this shocking state Of affairs. The
Governor, We learn, has been absent,
and what will be aone remains to be
seen.

TERRIBLE CRIME--.MURBER OF
MR. "A. e. RWRARM,%-----..---
The Columbia Phonir of Saturday
last brought us the shocking intelli-
geuce Of the murder Of, Mr.~A..E DU-
BARD, on the public highway, about aiz
miles above Columbia. It seems that
Mr.. DuBARD left Columbia, for his
home about -6f.eeu- uiles-sbose that
city, on Thursday afteraooI ids.. About
Elk miles from the city his body was
found, pierced through with several
slugs. He was robbed Of his money
aud watch, but the bupdles in bis buggy
were left. 1t is supposed that be was
instantly killed His coat was burnt
with powder, proving that the marderer
stood very close when the fatal shot was
fred. Mr.. DUBARD was advanced IN
years, and Que of the most respectable,
highly esteemed aud useful citizens Of
Richland County. For many years a
leading member Of the Methodist
Church, and one CT its strongest pillars
at toe time of his death. A man Of
unimpeachable character quiet and M
ostentatieas, bat firm, intelligent aud
reIiable in all things. 4 man of deep
an earnest piesy, and Of large hearted
charities--a man against whom there
could not have existed animosity to
prompt such an awful deed, for he was
kind aud generous and just to all.
The Phonir says: "But as a pious
" God fearing old man, it is to be pre-
"suued that he was net unprepared for
"the quick summons that came to him.
Z" His yiolcut and sudden death will ex.
Z" cite general and genuine sympathy.
"The assassin is not yet known; but it
I" is to be hoped that the officers of the

.rHg STATE TAX.

The Legislature, in its recent action
lerying tax for State purposes, OF
nine mills, exhibited recklessness IN
handling the vital aud sensitive matter
Of taxation, which surpasses all previous
acts Of wrong and oppression done BY
South Carolina Radicalism. The vote
upon this paramount question showed
how totally ignorant the members were
even as 10 the wants Of the exchequer
to meet the extravagances Of the party.
l. was a random voting, with au appa-
rent disposition on the pars OF some.
who probably knew little more OF what
was being done. to reach the highest
possible figure that could be pushed
through. There seemed to be no sort
Of calculation as to how much money
would be needed to run the Radical
State machine, but simply to create as
great margin as possible in which to
"operatc."
We have had promises Of retrenchmeut,
and the organ Of the party at Charleston
has urged it, and Gov. SCOTT, even, in his
message, advised II; and We stood
ready to approve and commend any step
we might see taken in that Apea'eo.-
But this recent action looks as though
reinstatement in power, for two years
more, has been sci7 the opportu
nifty to drag with immunity yet more
heavily from the pockets Of the honest
and industrious people Of the State
In 1869 the levy was seven mills-lasf
year Gas though, if possible to, produce
the impression Of some returning sense
of justice and economy it was put at
five u.ills anG now, when another elec'
ton has been secured, the FIRST cnor
nous tax is cycrleaped by two mills,
end we have q levy of niue mills, or
ainety cents upon every hundred dol
Jars valuation Of property-the valua-
tion being arbitrarily put, and, In
some instances, at more than two hun
per cent. dred above the actual value.
whilst alAoss in every instance it is
exceeded. The same act authorizes
three mills for county purposes-maki' 2
sl20 upon every (es'ilnaied) hundred
dollars worth of property.
This has been done, too, at time,
when, from the lips of every one-e1
ccpt, probably, those who live from the
public treasury-we hear the cry of
siringency in monetary afairs-when
The State is poorer than it has been
since The war, and when distress, ;from
want, is staring thousands in the lace
during the year upon which We have
entered, before another cros.is made.
