A GARD TO THE TAX PAYERS OF
ORANaEBURG.-Att the meeting called onl
last sales-day. recommended to the
taxpayers not to pny until after the
meeting OF The Tax-Payers' Convention.
At that time. T expected this convention
to be Immediately called together, and
some action taken in relation to this
grievance. The convention is ordered
for the 17th Of February, which will be
too late, I fear, for any practical result,
because most Of the Taxpayers who eau
pay will have done 80, and the treasury
of tho ring will be at The food-tide. l

tion, no other County has given TIE

DEATH OF AN EsrINABLE LADY.-Mrs.
Nancy Coke died at her residence, noar
Salem Church, in Marlboro County, on
tho night OF the 9th inst, OF paralysis.
after an illness OF only one day. At the
time of her death Mrs. Coxo was about
seventy seven years of age, and had
been member of tho Methodist Epis-
copal Church for upwards Of sixty years.

Inc OOunCy AuoltOr anu tne OouhGy
Treasurer are each appointed by tho
Governor, with the advice and consent
of the Senate. and are subject to re-
moval from Office. "whenever Ito him)
there appears good and sufficient cause. I"
The Board is to meet, whenever the
General Assembly shall direct. at the
Auditors Office. and having taken an
oath, shall Immediately proceed to
equalize tho value OF real estate, $40
that each tract or lot shnll be entered on
the tax list at it's truo value." The testi-
mony as to the inacouracy and errors in
the work done by these Boards comes
laundering from every County, and
makes a volume OF complaint which the
General Assembly, if it be wise, will
take into the most serious consideration.
And while upon the subject, lot them
examine the law which places this high
duty in the hands of men, two Of whom
in each County hold their Office by mp.
pointment and at tho pleasure of The
Governor. Tho others arc men, who,
in n largs part of the State, know very
little of the delicate duties with which
they are charged. 1t is not necessary
to sny any more TO show tho insecurity
OF tho property Of the people. and we
need not indulge in any reflections upon
any one to prove the truth of the asser-
ton. If the Governor was tho best of
men, If the County Trcasurers and Au-
ditors were in all cases enlightened
and virtuous citizens, the law which
virtually puts it in his power through
them to fix the assessments of property
for taxation, could not but bc considered
unwise, unjust and dangerous. When
it is further considered that tue power
and right of revision of assessments by
the State Board of Equalization, do not
practically exist and have not been ex-
orciscd, the whole matter is mado clear,
that serious and grievous wrong has
been done the rights and interests of
taxpayers. Hero we have solution of
the e1travagant and reckless assessments
which have been made. The people do
mand correction Of the evil.

PRESIDENT GRANT THINKS TIE RErUB.
L1cAN PARTY OVER. WEIGHTED. Per
haps tho most significant speech tho
President has ever made of political
nature was addressed recently to somo
prominent Republicans who called upon
him ut the White House. The Presi-
dent said: 81 begin to think that it is
time for the Republican party to unload
There has been too much dead weight
carried by it. The success OF our arms
during the rebellion, and the confidence
that the Republican party was strong
enough to hold up any burden, have i'm
posed all tho disalf.ction in the Guif
States on tho Administration. I am
tired Of this nonsense. Let Louisiana
take euro Of herself, as Texas will have
to do. l don't want any quarrel about
Mississippi State matters to bo referred
to me. This nursing of nonstrositics
has nearly exhausted the life of tho
party. l am done with them, and they
will have to take care Of themselves" F"

THE TAxEs.-In reference to tho
taxes now assessed on property, we will
state that We heard good Citizen Of
our County say this week that he had
ante-war tax receipts on tho property
now owned by him for fifteen cents, tho
then tax, while now he pays between
eleven and twelve dollars on tho same
property. There has been no new
buildings or other improvements to ac-
count for this great difference. How is
this for high?-Ke0wee Courier.

PRUSSIA AND THE PopE-A Berlin
correspondent of tho London Ners
states that those who look on Prussia rs
tho champion Of Professionalism grnp-
pling With The Catholic Church arc mis-
taken. The issue in Prussia is not be-
tween Professionalism and Catholicism,
but the policy OF Bismarck is equally
hostile to the pretensions Of High
Church Protastants and Catholics,
though not directly ho ,tile to Christi
anity 'a administered by any church dis
united from State. It is not theolosi-
cal quarrel which is now raging i'll Prns-
sia; it is not O secular quarrel waged by
the State with favorable eye for Pro-
testantism; and it is not quarrel from
which Professionalism can hope to win
any substantial advantage.

Standing Fhe.

A young soldier going to bis barrachroom to
sleep for the first time, quietly kneeled down 20
pray in the prescrce Of bis comrads. This act
was the signal for q s,osn Kisses, shouts and
whistles filed the room with hideous noise
Belts were thrown at the knesing soldier, and
one man lsaped upon the bed and shouted in
bis ear. Bat he was unmoyel to the eud ol
the PRAYER when he arose and sile0tiy went 20
his sepose. The next night bis comrades eager
ly watched to see if he would dare 10 pray
second time. To their surprise he again d'op-
ped on his knees, md they saluicd him with
the same noises as on tbe previous oveniog.
He did not finch, however. The third even
ing be koesled down and prayed, regardless o!
their continued mocking and noise. On the
fourth evening the noise was less. On the
9th it was still less and on the sixth one OF
the soldiers exclaimed:
." lie stands fire; be stands Ere. Hes senu-
ine"
After that, 10 one disturbed him. He bad

Abuse or Old Horses.

fegl a deep ympaL,y ior Oh horses I.
is q common practice in this'counlry to'male
an old horse break The colts. and too often,
work with them f,r years Itis hard for an
old horse to work uith'acol, ora young ac-
tive, horse Oh horses, Ike men, are oiten
capable of performing more hard work than
some youog ones who car beainthem for an
hour or more. The OLD man wants to take
moderate jog. and can hold out al iny but
little immode'ate cxor,ion for' few minutes
unsirinss him perhaps al day. An old horse
driven a, the Top Of bis speed for few miles
spoils the days journey When oace made
sore or strained, the result is stiffness the mex,
day. The old horse should no. haul his load
to town and then he forced 70 rtro, back. Il
does not injure him SO much to do heavy
work with slow motion as TO do light jobs at
the fast gait
Again, the Old horse rcqtires more time to
eat his meals and rest Die nerves. OF all'ani-
mails the horse is the worst Aabused. Although
he has been our most faithful aud profitable
servant, yet 10 his old age the laah.is applied
to force ont his youthful yieor. The olGes he
grows, the more he feels Gle lash. lie is Of
ten turned ont Of doors to give place TO tho
colts. Too often the neglect aud abuse he is
subject to. because be is li,.le oli results in
greater loss than is made up in the care Of
young horses The last part Of tho horses lie
may be more profitable if rightly used, than
the first part. There Is more comfort aud
less danger ia WORKING Oh horses We UNDER
stand them aud they understand rs, and VIC
should be willing 90 conform our wishes to
ih,irs Il would he more humane as well rs

long as it would pay, and take them out and
shoot them down Bu, lhe practice is 10
knock them about as much as they viii bear
90 pay well and then trade them OF to some
more inhuman wretch than ourselves. The
old servant has gone among strangers, and he
receives no sympathy 10 bis las, extremity.
We do not blush % say that man who
has eui yci the pleasures aud profits Of
good horse, as long as be was profitable and
then shoves him oa among inhuman Jockeys
is an iuhuman, trcscberous and suspicious
friend. The man who does So without regard
70 how The horse may be cared for, is, 10 my
estimation. Of suspicious character; and I
never see horses abused SO as iooKcite pity. bu,
my fymathies are directed 20 the mans vito
