THE WATER-TAX MEETING.

Protesting Against the ENorbltant Rates
Suffrage a Remedy for Existing Evils.
Last Saturday one of Knox's largest "busses,"
containing baud and drawn by six horses,
appropriately decorated parlded the streets of
Washington for the purpose of calling atten.
tion to meeting of indignant watcr-tax pay
ers which was to be held in front of the Metro
politau Hotel in the evening. Tho horses
were covered with banners, bearing the follow
ing inscriptions: "WaterTax Meeting at the
Metropolitan Hotel Tonight" Taxation With
out Representation is Tyranny" Every Citizen
is Aggrievod by the Illegal aud Exorbitant
WatCr-Tax, Suffrage Is our only Relief" At
eight o'clock, the time announced for the
meeting TO begin, about two dozen persons as.
sembled in the vicinity of the hotel, aud mat
tiers looked very Equally" for the success of
| the affair. Finally, after an hour spent in
drumming up recruits, about one hundred
spectators were gathered in, and the ball was
opened by Mr.. Robert ID. Akers, who nomi.
mated Mr.. Lee Crandall for president of
the meeting, the motion being unanimously
adopted. Mr.. AkeIs was then elected secre-
tary, and after making short speech he in
troduccd the following preamble and resou-
tions, which likewise found no dissentcrs:
| WHEREAS, As Americans we arc taught to believe
taxation without representation to be a crime;
and,
| WHEREAS, We, the people Of a great city, the
| Capital of the Nation, with population of one
hundred and sixty thousand people, second tn none
| IN intelligence are denied the right held by the
lately liberated slave Of the South and the deni-
Of the slums of our great cities, viz the right
of suffrage and,
WHFREAs, Government by appointment has
proven to be but Il machine for the smoother work.
Ing OF fraud and tyranny, as lately eXemplfed in
the arbitrary and unwarrauted increase of water
rates In this District therefore,
RyOrtd, That IL Is the sense OF this meeting that
the recent action OF the Water Commissioners In
increasing the rates from 10 200 per cent added to
the many preceding offences al the government of
appointment would be sufficient in any COmmu-
nifty possessing the franchise to sweep them from
public iGvor forever.
RcsO,ttd, That deprived as we are of the fran
chise, our only p'escut resource is to euter our
solemn protest against the outrageous injustice of
| this new burden saddled upon the shoulders of an
already tax-rldden community.
| EtsO'lcd, That the present cXigency forces upon
| rs the conclusion that the only remedy for the
evils We suffer under rests In the securing of the
elective franchise and be II further
ReSOig1d That in view of this fact, we pledge our
selves to work IN any and every way, not only to
rid ourselves OF the water aud other rings but to
labor earnestly for securing the right of suffrage
hoping and expecting In that right 70 find at least
redress tor public wrongs.
NIcssrs. c. W. Dtnnisou, ]. II. Crane, and
| Martin Fianncry then addressed the crowd,
after which it was announced that the meet

Cobbs Island.
Tho disappointment attendant upon the
postponement of tho excursion of Equal Di-
vision to Cobbs Island was widespread, but
II is pleasant to know that the people under
stand thoroughly that the postponement was
as much surprise to the Division aud its com.
mittee as to tho outside world.
As heretofore stated, rs soon as the knowl-
edge of the fact that the steamer Frances,
which had been engaged for the trip, had
been held in New York under financial diff
culties reached the committee meeting
was held, and with the appreciation of the
Division the chairman of the committee was
delegated to proceed to New York, aud make
whatever arrangements lie could to secure the
presence of the steamer for n'u Saturday
evening. The representative of THE REPUB-
LICAN met Mr.. Arthur Shepherd last night,
the chairman of the committee, who returned
here yesterday morning, aud from him OBJ
tanned the particulars of the detention of the
steamer and the arrangements he had made.
II appears that the boat had bocn held up
in New York, pending the payment of
the crew for their labor Tho pay roll
had been made out, but no payment had
been made by the charter parties, aud
to secure the crew the owner of the boat, Cap
tain d. s. Babcock, President of the Stonngton
route, ordered her held. In the meantime the
advance charter money then due had not been
paid, and tho vessel was tied up. After in
terviewing Captain Babcock and Others plan
was proposed to Mr.. Shepherd, who proceeded
to execute it. This was to have the chartered
parties of the boat release her to the owners,
in order that they might carry out the exist
ing contract with the representatives of Equal
Division. This arrangement was perfected,
and acting directly with Captain Babcock,
who appeared disposed to do everything posi-.
bic TO assist the association named, Mr.. Shcp
herd succeeded in procuring the presence OF
the Frances here next Saturday Mt twelve M
At i've o'clock p. IN. she will 81 il with Equal
Division for its excursion TO CObb's, and all
who may be able to 60 will enjoy a most de

Exiled and Plundered for Opinions sake.


Last summer Mr.. Swails, prominent
South Carolina Republican, was arrested by the
Democratic County Executive Committee,
aided by q mob Of armed Red Shirts, for the
crime Of being q Republican, and made to leave
the State under threat of death if he returned
and the mob even built mound by the road
side and put u head board to it, announcing II
as the grave Of Swails, probably considering
him dead so far rs South Carolina is concerned.
Mr.. swails was compelled TO abandon his
homestead, one of the finest in Kingstree,
upon which his enemies cast longing eyes and
determined to possess Accordingly, as Mr..
press suit was brought against him for libel
and the coveted property attached by one OF
the mosta of his prosecutors. The papers
were never served upon Mr.. Swails, but were
probably left for forms sake at the house from
which he had been driven, lest he should be
tempted to return and endeavOr 70 save his. The
KugstTee Star has for II few weeks past tccmed
with threats against Mr.. Swail in case he
should venture TO return TO the State. The

should have appeared In person 10 answer the
charges having expired judgment is now
claimed by default of his appearance. An
outrage of this kind perpotrated by foreign
government upon citizen of the United
States would arouse the executive and lcgis-
lative departments, aud redress would be
demanded aud had, hut committed by au-
uIorty of n State the General Government is

time but feebly expresses it. Upon reaching
the Island rush was made by bathefs for the
water, and in II few minutes about 100 persons

short-livcd, however, for the pcstierous sea
nettle got in its work and a stampede was
made for the shore, calls for fresh water being
frequently heard. After four hours spent in
fishing, Grabbing and sailing the party re-
turned home, resolved to 90 again If the op-
portunity offered. The officers of the boat
came in for share Of praise, especially Cap
tain Bonneville, Purser Bond, aud Ned Kolb.
