W IN N 820lO. I. MEANS DAVIS, Editor, Wednesday Morning, April 1, 1874. The Counter Memorial. The Rads have sent a counter felegation to Congress. 'And who arc these firtiious ' luifibaries that are to confront and confound the 6txpayers ? Their names are spelled thus: R. 11. Gleaves, S. J. , Leie, '. L. Gardozo, D. 11 Chamberlain, .I F. Wlhittemorc, MlcIntyre, Nash, Owens, Jiurley, and Neaglo. Won't these make a respectablo showing I Gleaves and Lee presided ov&- the Senato and Ihouse, and will tell how fraudulent measures are - passed though the legislaNtre. Car-dozo Vill tell what ho -knowe about pri'nto ing, and what ho knows about tiking the State Seal to New York to itsuo fraudulent bonds. Chiamborlainl will explain the work.-ings of Kempton and t h e financial board. Whittemore will tell now members how he was kicked cut of Congress twice fur selling Cadetships, ind how he can greiaso a grab through the Senate. Tim Hlurley will explain to the avaricious how he came to So(h Carolina with five cents in his -pocket, and in seven years pays more taxes than theWvholo taxpayers' convention. Neiglo 'wi recount the honlest acts of his life uudcr circumstances of tenptation from the time he was a divinity stu dent at Davidson College, through his army cxperioneo to his late col lecting expedition against Mloses5 an34h, Lolinityro and 'Owenls are thrown in to tell any thing (hat the others don't know. Thin is a iepre sentativo committeo 'of tie *arty bhy in the nanme'of cohimon sense wasn't Aloses added 7 he would have really added additional repectalbili ty. A few Major Generals an-d Brigadier Generals of the Militia might have been sent also, to repre.. sent, the chloient thilitary 'braneh of the Government. Another Outra-, In our local coihanns will be Found an account of the reported defaleationl of tle County Treasuire', ly whicl about CYhtccn thousun: dolla's of the .1oney wrung from the peopl'a for taxes, h ave d isappared widfiou't a voucher to show fur it. Withot Pausing to consider who is th' guilty ind i'jduaj, we Proceed tb lay this fraud and outrage upon the ltadieal party. This (lefleit a:nounts to over one-fourth of the total taxes collect ed, and tho deficiency will pr0oduce the greatest embarrassment to the County. The County fmend and the school funds will all ho cut on', andl we will have the same old story of the people ground to dea'th, nnd their creditors going begging. Thih blow falls upon rich and poor, white and colored alike. The merchant who supplies the paupers with food, th'o miebanic. who builds bridges and re' pair highways, the whbito and the bolored teachers who hold pay certifi eates as recoinpense for their efc hausting labors, the white and the coloredl jurymon, who are ctilled fronm their crops to aid the law in i-a course, even the poor old rheunmatie superannu1atedl white and colbrod pau pe, who draw their monthly dole of two do'lars from the County Trbas. ury-all these are compelled to boar the consequ'Jnces of Rladical misrule. We care nothing about the deficiency is stolen in Winnsboro or in Colu m. bia. But the County funds dirdotly Interest us. Being imniediatoly at our doors we can see how they are din-bursed And when we see these drasipated in this manner, our indig nation can scarcely be kept within bounds. It is high time for white and colored to unite in overthrowing this despicable government, which robs and su indies without discrim Rination, those who sn jport it as w ell as those who oppose it. This state of affairs cannot long continne. Sehf defence wvill cause the people to rise in a body and redress their grievana ces. Never was tnhere a more ojipor. tune timo for presenting the alterna tive suggestod by the New York TPribune-R EronM ort lF.voLUTIONr. The Taxpayers in Washing'ton. The Taxpayers' Committee in Washington are working like beav era. 1By a dhivision of labor they have Visited most of the leaders in the various departments in WVashiing ton. By no one wore they met with die Courtesy except the President. For this the President has been severely rasped by the New York Tribune, and many Southern Journals. Vice-President Wilson received them warmly and expressed great i'n. tefest, making a favorable impression ulon his visit is. The Cabinet ofli. cers were clled . upoh, as ' also, Morton, Carpeuter, Boutiwell, Pratt, Lognu, Fenton, Bayard. Blaine, Dawes, Beck und many others. The corres pondout of the News and C'ourier in forms us that the dologatos are miet everywhere with sympathy, and .their staitements are unquestioned. Even our own representativen are infeted with the contuion of virtuous indigna tioti, and agree Uiartify that t1i;ro should b, reform, but they don't, gree as to lhe reforiner. They see m to-)re fcr D. H. Chamnberlain, formelly o the kinpton'l 'inauiahil "Board. 'We will give further -details in tire words of the News &nd'courier corre oiident. .It will doubtless sui-priso most of your readers to hear that, among the pileasantost of the muany intiviCs'S which the delhgates have hmd here with public men were Th'ose wit-len1. Wim. Teeuumseh Sherian and etin. BHnjamini F. Butler. Sherman was in n'partioularly good hiumor when visited, anud indulged freely in jiokes and reminiscences 6f Sulhtvan's Island'in the olien time. Thure Ware several di the delegat9 iLh whom lie hal formerly beetn acquaiut ed, and an he stobd pleasantly chat ting with them it was hard to real ize that the Here of Co1unibi'a was before us. Ben Butler was very cordial, said that he knew thiug.i wera) very bad in South Caroliian and prdinisod that ivhen tflo mecnorial e6mes before the judiciary coinmrlittee of the House it "should have a fair liowing."

The convcr*sation turned on the prospect of getting the black 'Yotera iuterested ii Reform, when one 'of the delegates despondingly as.ured the general that he had made twenty three -pecehes in the Reform canvass to meetings of his fellow-citizens. Evory speech had been 'oeoivcd with kociterous deinonstrations of applause and sympatby ; but when the polls were opened not five IReforma niygers could be found niywhere.

But since the damp~ge has been doiie, its een,'ience has hecome very tenider. The taixpayers of onr State hold up their hands in an earhest apyeul for aidl. They wilhl bless him who, ai'da th'om, whoever, lhe be. Geon. Sher man or Beast .Hutler could carry the consetvative tote; if he previoaly helped us. - A Venomous Toad; sul an Angi-y 'rebi dent. Th'e cavuse of the surprising out.. hurst of petulance of whieh this l'rceidenmt wais guilty, on the occasioni of his interv'iew with thei taxpayers, has been cxplained. It appears t hat Ilionest Johnm 15tterson, who disgi'iees the Senatorial chair from South 'ai-o Iia, had an interview with Grant, just before thie taxpayers m:.'ke their call upon that dignitary. Tdko domie Veinoons toad lie sqatted at the lPresident's ear, hilsaing falselfood after fabehood, and beliinirg wih his "enomi thie detient people of So'uthi Carolina. Knowing wvell that for his deeds and the crimes of his party there diouhl be no lpalliation, and afr'aid to meet his accusers face to .tace, he endeavored to check mate the-'n by exciting the angeor of the P'resident, and thMh, rbndering him blind to reason. In thE lie partially succeeded, Bunt fortunatdly, tlo-ugh Grant for a while lost control of him self, he was finially convinced that the whiold tale tlat had been poured into his ear was a tissue of' falachoods, atnd thant the people of South Caroli-' na are willing to judgo himt entirely by his future course towards' them. Weare surprised th'at the President should have suflered himsell to be beguiled by this infamous creature, whose whole career, from its begin. nling in Ponn.s..a. to i:s en in .South Carolina, has been peculiarly obaracterized by -resoality and ratpiki ty. If Grant por.mits ilaiself to be gulded and infloonced by 'such sotun drels, he deserves'evory particle 'ef abuo that can be fieaplo upon him. In the second place, a great mani, dispensing justice would never le inl fluenced by personal motives. So that even if every'whito in'a, woi man and child ill South Cairolina hated the PreaideIt, lie shaoutI still, if h1o poslesses troe gr;ttiaqss, itqui re itito their wrongs. Crunt. the President, and'Oroit the man, are two different: individuails. The ruler of a nation should have no nerves of sensitive ness. lie should 'be virtual11y 'ot storn3 or uarhble, doing right for rights Bake e;cn to his enemies. Again, Granht shald oipeot ithuso from tihe 'So'ith. lie knows as well as ive knot that ho is iu:firectly re iponis ible for (avrey particlo of ra. 3nlity ti it his 'been perpetrated in the South in the namaio of fCpuIi. innisin.

With a knowledlge of these fcts iefore hinu, how could he be sur.prised to hear that 'ha had bec" 'Viliiied in the outh ' If the whole Taxpayers 'onivet-om, even, instead of one or two elteg ites, had denounded him-, they .1:eld have justifliabl., for when Ia.id hli up to that time ever bfreuded them or given theMn a Word of sy ip ichy I We see therefore, but little re.t on inI thi fury iiit whohi l he lashed himself aLfter hcaring tie calumnarios of Patterson.

Slowcagoaly oulld our delegates havo recogpnized this magntnimity, and a.,sured him that lie wats not regard ed uith tie bitter feelings that had been alleged by that vetnonous rep, tile ; Patteson and that tie whites of Souith CArolina, ini tieir joy uapol beiig facld, would gladl y forget tiae past, and hail hiam as a bensefactor. lBut Granit's ear had been poisoned anad lie lost this opportuntity of con ciliatisg the enstire Souths.

In another column *ill be fo id a report of the interview between the Taxpayers an'd President Grant. It appears th'at UlyneB was mebh 'CAas perated by the remarks of 'don.

It will be remembe'red that in th'e in vestigations had b'onee-nin-g thle 4'3lack FrIlla)' in few York, when gold ran bp to V8, and iany brocers. were ruined, it appeared that Mr's.

The Union's report of Gen. nary's speech cutained the following : "Ile conceded that Grant was a great kol dier, but hail tWrhished his gobd infte forever by his subsequent coUrse that to covdr up some f his a'oods he had sicri.eed bie own wife " This is said ta be a garbled report but at any rate we doel a utterance maioe liy iA prievto Oitizen in debate, as beueathl the n~tf'e or the higheit odicial of the nation.
