of this charge lies in the implication
that there is an antagonism between
the up~country and the low country,
This cannot be. We are all parts
Of common State, and every secs
ton does her duty to. the best Of
her ability.
Again, it is objected, as T am in.
formed, that I am
LOW COUNTRY MAN.
Mr.. President, my ancestors came to
this country two hundred years ago.
Since that tilno they have never left
South Carolina. Hero they were
born, hero they laborcd and here
their bones rest AS for myself,
from my earliest recollections I
have been a citizen Of Fairfield.
From here [ entered the army.
Here | have spent my lie. If an
unbroken heritage Of two hundred
years does not entitlo me to a share
of devotion to tie interests Of our
mother State, know nothing that
does. But, Mr.. President, if gon-
tloman should como from Chester
to Fairfield, and prove, within six
months, that he isia proper person to
represent me, l would support him
rs heartily us if he had been born
and raised in Fairfield. I cannot
bear the insinuation that I could be
false to fairfield, because my fore
fathers lived in any other portion of
! our common State. That insinua~
ton was unjust. I know no section.
10 the last charge, that
IAN a LAWYER,
will say but little, as time presses
Lawyers arc not antagonistic to
farmers; indeed, the prosperity of
the one depends on tho welfare of
the other, and Notwithstanding my
fliend's assertion that the lawyers
thllve IN proportion to the poverty
OF ti'e country, would merely say
that unless times improve, the law
yers will themselves remove all cause
for discussion by lying down and
dying of starvation. AS to lawyers
encouraging law-muking, il is we'll
knowa that they are most conserva-
tive, and cling to established GUS
toms. Nor do they work in cliques,
as has been charged.
An analysis Of the votes Of the
Legislature shows that the lawyers
divided every time, most frequently
half and half. Now, T am lawyer,
and although I am not as good one
as | would wish to be, will stand
by my colors. I believe that farm
ers should be represented. They
make us good members us could be
found. What I object to is the ex-
clusion Of any class, whatever it be.
This is unjust. No man should be
thus practically disfranchiscd.
In conclusion, Mr.. President, let
me say that 1 hope T have not Of
fcnded any one. Such was not my
intention. I am obliged to yon all
for your patient attention, and hop
ing that we will be all united, and
will win u glorious victory in 1873,
take my scat. [Applause.

Washington Territory.

The Territorial Auditor, T. M.
Reed, having received reports from
all the counties, publishes statement
from which the following is compiled.
1t is interesting: The total taxable
valuation is slS,222,515 SO, a net
gain of s1,637,O3S OF. This gives
a per capita of over 1914, assuming
the population to be $4,000. The
total gain in seventeen counties
was s2,02S,6S5' 50, while in seven
counties the loss was 1,647
so. Had it not been for this retro
erosion of three counties the gain
in the Territory during the past year
would have been nearly II per
centum. Some of the counties show
remarkable gain. Columbia heads
the list with s399,3ll; Walla Walla
follows with s333,97O; Pierce with
1882, 2S4; Whitman with s320,190;
and Kitsap s1O0,027 50. San Juan
shows the least gain s6,445. The
counties showinga decrease are Pacific
S110,S0o; Cowlitz S103,674; King
s79, 4S7; Wakiakum, $4,000 so;
Island S26,442; jefferson S25,644,
and Mason s4,569. The decrease in
Cowlitz county may be attributed to
the transfer of the railroad company's
machine shops, rolling stock, ETC., to
Tacoma, at the same time largely
adding to Pierce county assessments.
King county has lost by two of her
coal mines stopping operations and
a lessening in the prices of Seattle
town property. The six eastern
counties show a gain of S1,212,176,
leaving only s726, sos 50 for the other
II counties which have shown gain.
The greatest relative gain was in
Pierce and Whitman counties.
