What an independent journal
thinks Of Radical Liquidation.
AFRICA IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

Those are pitiful stories told by the South
Carolina bOndhOlders. We hope every one
has read our reports Of the two meetings held
in this city by the victims of carpet-bag ra-
pacity. The narratives remind us strongly
of the experiences OF Baker, Speke, Living
stone, Chapman and Reade In Africa. These
travellers all report that the master passion of
the negro kings Ia the levying Of taxes They
collect taxes Of the wayfarer not only once
but two, three and a dozen times. There is
no shaking them of by putting in the plea of
having once paid. Among these little tyrants
in the home of the negro no such thing as
good faith is known. The most solemn prom.
ises are broken when string OF beads can be
made by the treachrry. Speke and Baker
used to beard these little despOts in their dens,
and call them liars and thieves. Instead of
being offended at the plain uth-telling, the
African king would burst ont laughing and
express himself highly complimentod. The
negro rulers of South Carolina, made worse
by their carpet-bag allies, are repeating to
day, in the middle of this country. the pll-
Laying games Of Central Africa. At the sec
end meeting of the indignant bondhOlders
held Thursday. a gentleman from Charles
ton declared that the taxes had been collected
IN the State often three times over, that theN
are not used for the purposes for which the!
are raised. that for want Of funds there Is no
