PMOEic Rights For We
21"O0S.

The negro delegates to the
Grant Convention numbered over
fifty, and they imperatively de-
manded that a declaration of
complete equality should be made
in the platform. The white del
egates felt the necessity of con-
forming to the wishes of their
sable allies, and the Ingenuity OF
the committee on resolutions was
taxed to the nttermost limit for
the purpose OF manufacturing a
plank which would be accepta-
BILE to the blacks withort proving
too offensive to such white Re
9ublicans as still revolt at tie
idea of perfect social equality
between the two races. Finally
the difficulty was solved by the
invention of a new phrase. The
second resolution reads as fol-
lows:
Complete liberty and exact
cc-:ality in the enjoyment of all
civil, political and public rights
should be established and effec-
tually maintained throughout
the Union by efficient and appro,
pirate State and Federal legisla>
ton. Neither the law nor its
administration should admit of
any discrimination in respect of
citizens by reason Of race, creed,
color, or previous condition of
servitude.
The term "public rights" is en-
tirely new, and it will need to be
defined. On its face, when taken
iu connection with the accompa-
nying language of the resolution,
it would seem to be a demand
for the admission of negroes to
hotels, schools, churches, places
of amusements, and all public
institutions or assemblages on
terms of perfect equality with
the white race. That is as mild
an Interpretation as this Sc oond
clause of the platform upon
which Grant stands will bear.
and it might be stretched beyond
that.

Al Promising Platform.

The platform adopted at Phil
adelphia by the ofiee-holders'
Convention is a most "promisipg".
panacea for all political evils.
The working man, the soldier,
the sailor, the farmer, each
receive precious words of prom
Use; capital and labor are to be
united and henceforw ard work in
harmony, u commerce is to
thrive, and the public debt be
paid without effort. The heavy
burdens now resting upon the
South, are lifted by a ten line re-
solution, and nowhere in the
broad land is there to be left any
thing for complaint. But, alas !!
such words bring no healing
upon their wings; they are ae
cheap as they are ~delusive, and
only uttered to be broken. The
Republican party will be tried
by its acts, which have every
where and at all times during the
administration of Grant, set at
defiance the Constitution and the
real interests of the people; it can
well afford, upon the V of an
election. to be prolific in pledges
of reformation. Will an outrag
ed and insulted people be again
deceived? Can the ofice-holders,
who are annually stealing hun
dreds of millions ofdolla,s, delude
the taxpayer Ivy paper promises?
We do not think so. By their
acts shall we know them.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Communion service was observed in
the Presbyterian Church of this village,
on last Sabbath, the pastor, Rev. J. r..
Riley, officiating, assisted by the Revs.
Samuel Donnelly and T. G. Ligon. The
services, commencing on Friday even
ing, We're of more than ordinary inter
est, and several acccssions were made to
the church.
In this connection it affords us pleas
IRE to mention having enjoyed the priv
ilege, ON that occasion. of listening to
several discourses delivered by an old
and valued friend, and also former
army associate, Rev. Il. Chevis Ligon, q
native Of Abbeville but now preaching
in Newberry District. He is quite a
young man. and was ordained only a
few weeks since. For one so young in
the work Of the ministry, he manifests
the most gratifying evidences of ability.
and his friends have reason to feel just
and pious pride in the promise he gives
in his new and holy calling.
We wish our friend well in his sacred
warfare, and doubt not he will find it
more congenial to his nature than the
warfare we led together in hostile squad
ron and in the chilly biyouac. -Laure,,s-

Editor Abbeville Press and Banner:
AS I am not known to all the citizens
of Abbeville, some of my friends sug-
gest the propriety of publishing the ac-
companying letter, from an old acquain-
tance and valued friend. Fearing that
it might have the appearance of egotisnl,
I have hesitated, and only consent now,
that the people of Abbeville, whose suf-
frages I ask for the office of schoo. COM
missioner, may know something of my
antecedents. 1 have not the time nor
taste for personally soliciting votes. If
elected, 1 can only say, I will try to dis
charge the duties of the office to the
best of my ability.
Yours, &C.,
JOHN F. OSBORNE.

John F. Osborne, Esq:
My dear sir: see by the newspapers
that you are a candidate for school COM
missioner of your county. May you
succeed.
+ think your habits eminently fit you
for the position. Your executive abili-
ty, habits of industry, Jealous and con-
scientious performance of duty would
make you an admirable commissioner.
I can state this after years of daily in
tercourse with you as an officer of the
Georgia Relief and Hospital Association,
whose ce-President and Secretary l
was.
You managed the large and impor-
tant trusts committed to your care as
superintendent of the wayside home,
with marked ability and fidelity, and to
the satisfaction of our association. AS
commissioner, I think you would be the
right man i'll the right place. Your
dignitied urbanity. courteous but firm
bearing, would make you acceptable to
teachers, and, I think your administra-
live talent and uniform attention to
your duties, if elected, would make you
Il blessing to the children. If you were
as we'll known in Abbeville as here, you
would poll a heavy vote. 1 shall be
glad, if alive, to hear of your success.
God bless you Major. I am very re-
spectfully, your humble servant,

County Auditor, who will immediately
execute the law, which pfovides that
where Tax Payer fails to make a Re-
turn to the County Auditor, or his Dep
uty, within the time prescribed by law,
the last Return made by said Tax Pay
er will be copied from the Auditors
Books and fifty per cent. added thereto,

the Assessors on the different dates, as
confusion occasioned by large number
of Tax Payers at the close of the AS
