Pursuant I a call made by a
number of the leading eitiaeus of
the county, a very large meeting
was held at the Court House in
the town of Greenville on the 16th
instant, to consider the interests
of the tax payers, and if possible
lift the load of taxation that other
wise must prove ruinous to the
property holders of the entire
community. .
On motion, W.'E. Hunt was
made temporary chairman, end on
whose motion Charles T. Worth
ington was called upon to preside
over the meeting.
On motion, the following Vice
Presidents were chosen front the
several magisterial districts: M.
F. Johnson, W. W. Stone, Augus
tine Chew, James Stone, W. P.
Montgomery and S. Archer.
On further motion, D. L. Stone
was made Secretary or the meeting.
A desire beiug expressed to bear
the views of members of the meet
ing as to what means could be de
vised to relieve them of the taxes
so soon to be collected, Messrs,
Taxton, Frank Valliant, Trigg,
Percy, S. Archer and Bolton were
called for, each of whom, after
stating the wrongs inflicted upon
the property owuers, and the caus
es of such a general inability to
meet auy taxes at this time, urged
npon the citisens of the eouuty to
stand ns a body, and if necessary
and prudent to resist the collec
tion of any taxes whatever.
On motion, the Chair appointed
Messrs. W. A. Percy, M. F. John
son, S. Archer. L. B. Valliant, J:
C. Estill, - Cowan and A.J,
Paxton a committee to draft reso
lutions ; aud Messrs. B. T. Worth

taxes. '
r, 6 n fifi titer mdlioh a committee
6f tlu'co,' couipol 'of Messrs.
W. It. Trljrg.VT. G. Yergcr,and
C. AV. Lewis, was appointed by
t'lu t'lnilr to call upon the Board
of Supervisors (then in session)
and nnk of them a reduction of the
county tnges to tho extent of (heir
lawful authority.
On motion the mectiug adjourn
od till tho following day (171 b), to
give tic illfleront coinniitteos am
pic time to make their reports.
Tuksoav, Nov. 17,
The meeting reassembled at the
limo appointed and reports from
coniniittccf were prescuted.
The Chairmau of the Committee
who waited upon the Levee Board
reported their inability to secure
but a slight reduction in the taxes
mentioned as levied by them.
The committee to wait upon the
Board of Supervisors to ask a re
ductiou of county taxes met with
a like response that they were
unwilling to assume the responsi
bility of reducing said taxes. '
The Chairman of tho Committee
on Resolutions proceeded to road
Ui6 resolutions, as follows :
' Whereas, for the past five
years, iu spite of our earnest pro
tests and persistent efforts, the
rate of taxation imposed npon us,
and which we have been forcod to
pay, his steadily grown greater
year by year, whilst the values of
property have as steadily decreas
ed and in about the same ratio ;
and whereas, all effort to reduce
or check the same has been una
vailing, and the protests of an in
dignant and cries of a despairing
people, have been alike unheeded
by our corrupt and rapacious ru
lers ; and whereas, we do earnest
ly believe that the power of taxa
tion has been subverted from its
true purpose that of maintaining
a pure and well-ordored govern
ment, administered in the inter
ests of tho people into a source
of wealth for corrupt officials and
venal politicians; and whereas,
taxation for all 'of its legitimate
purposes has proven an utter fail
ure, and is a success only as a
moans of bankrupting the State,
and impoverishing the people;
and whereas, the taxes for the pre
sent year amouut in the aggregate
to a sum so enormous as to render
their payment a simple impossibil
ity, and to induce us rather to see
our property forfeited than 16 at
tempt their paymeuti therefore,
Be it resolved, That we, the tax
payers of Washington eonnty, In
mass meeting assembled, do here
by bind and pledge ourselves, one
to the other, to refuse and resist,
by all legal meaus, (be payment of
auy and all taxes levied for the
current fiscal year upon real estate
of which wo are the owners, or
GUEEW'ILLE, WAHIIirVCwTOTV CO.,
which we have under onr eoutrol.
Resolved, further, that we nrge
and invite the co-operation with
ns of every tax payer, white and
colored, iu Washington county,
in this effort to save ourselves
from impending ruin.
Resolved, further, That we rec
ognize the fact that a certain am j
oont of taxation is necessary to
the maintenance of all govern
nientti, and would cheerfully pay
of the present taxes what would
he necessary for that purpose,
were it possible to do so, but we
have found it impossible to obtain
any. redaction in the levy, and
through the tax gatherers macbi.
nery must pay all or none, .
Resolved, further, That we take
this step in no spirit of re
sentment, with no intent to
produce discord ' and civil com
motion and with uo purpose of ob
structing the State and County
Governments In the due aud llglti
niste exercise of their powers, but
as the result of mature and earnest
thought, with a full knowledge of
the ouo sequences and a steady de
termination to abide them, and as
the shortest road out of utter
ruin, and the ouly means left us
with which to secure safety for the
present and relief for the future.
Resolved further, That In union
and organisation we must find our
strength and for that purpose we
Invite the co-operation of the tax
payers t each county in the State
and urge the WKanlsaJ.'an of the
Tax-Payers Leagues toaot iu oont
cert for the preservation' of our com
mon fights and interests.
Resolved further, That.lhe Chair

and efficient men in, each neighbor
hood of the county for the purpose
of securing the signature of every
tax-payer upon real estate to these
resolutions, and that for that pur
pose the Beoretary of this meeting

number of copies.
Resolved further, That the per
sons so appointed be and are here

questions before the people at

was whether it ought to bo per

A Terr Xotable rrrforaUH(f
It U instanced as perhaps the
most striking of the 'many proofs
of the enormous brain power of
the great Napoleon, that he could
dictate npon different subjects to
several secretaries at the same
time, or as fast as 'each could
write, and continue such dictation
for an indefinite time. The mat
ter is stated as a fact in several of
the lives of Napoleon, and I have
never seen it questioned in priut ;
indeed, I believe that something
very similar Is narrated of one or
two other celubrated characters.
.During one of his visits to his
vast possessions in the northern
comities of New York, several
persons were with Gouvcrueur
Morris in his office one day, when
the conversation happened to turn
npon tho remarkable power of
Napoleon to which I have alluded.
Some one remarked that the abili
ty to write on two different sub
jects at the samo time with a pen
in each baud."
That is true," wns tho ro
ponso, "but I never heard of any
one who could do that."
" I think I can," remarked Mor.
ris. "Lot mo try."
Turning to his desk he arranged
two blank pieces of pupor boioro
him aud took a pen in each hand.
" I was about to fill out a descrip
tion in a deed," be said, " and I
must, also write a letter to the
grantee to accompany the deed,
Now lot us see If I can do it all at
once."
Aud to the amazement and ad
miration of all present, each of
whom we may be sure scrutinised
tho performance with critical
watchfulness, he did it as cleverly
and rapidly as though he had been
writing cither separately ; and the
task was performed with excel
lent penmanship, without blots or
erasures, and without a mistake or
confusion in expression.

Immigration Bureau.
The thousands of surplus olll
ciuls who wear purple and flue
linen aud fare sumptuously every
day at tho expenso of tho people,
is ono of the most fruitful sources
of discontent on the part of the
property owners. No wonder that
taxes aro enormous when such an
army of utterly useless officials
are quartered upon tho people.
Ono of these eating sores is tho
Bureau of Education, with its
county superintendents, drawing
not less than one hundred thous
and dollars for services that can
bo performed for nothing by the
citizens of the different counties
Another fester is the Bureau of
Immigration established for no
reason on earth but to pcusion a
party favorite. Immigrants need
no " hired man" to guide thorn to
the country. They po where the
laws are Just, tho land is good, and
the burdens of government light,
The New York Tribune draws
this picture of the Bureau of Im
migration and Agriculture:
The Commissioner is ono Griggs,
a person of dusky color, who
doesn't at all trouble himself about
immigration and doesn't know
anything about agriculture. The
only official function in the exor
cise of which ho is at all respited
cut is that of drawing bis salary,
which he docs monthly with great
spirit aud persistence. Compas
sionating tho fatiguing nature of
this service, the last Legislature
voted him several "assistants,"
who receive each Hie neat honorO'
rum of $125. per month, Ono of
them, known lo his familiars as
Charley Bush, was a hackmati,
who has dcscrlod tho box for the
bar, and employs his time in ab
sorbin f ardent spirits and playing
at all-fours. Once in thirty days
he appends his name to a receipt
for his salary ; and that is all tho
writing tho ex-Jchu does iu the
Department of Agriculture. An.
othor "assistant" is one Shadd.
who is nlso Speaker of the House
Another is Little, who is a State
Senator. Another is Spelman,
who ii also a member of the Leg
islature Such is tlio Department
of Agile ii 1 1 ii re In a State which
sorely needs the very wisest aud
most conscientious care of this in

at once luuhablu aud shameless.

Captain A. L. Pierce, lcvce tU-
tractor, who by his low bids saved
this levee district ten or twelve j
thousand dollars, was getting on.
He landed at Neblctt's 31st of
October, with a hundred convicts,
and broke ground on 2d Novem
ber, The heaviest station, 17 feet,
he has completed one section aud
begun another. Ho has sub-let a
portion at ow figures, and seems
full equal lathe heavy responsi
bilities resting upon him. I hear
he landed a few days since with a
force of white labor at Bolivar,
and is going alieid with the work
expeditiously. How he has disap
pointed tho higVprlco men who
thought lo make a fortune on their
contracts iu ouc season.
A now era has dawned upon us,
thanks to Captain Pcarce, and
taught the lovee board that earth
can bo moved as cheap now as be
fore the war. The vast number of
competitors has brought things to
a level. Wo are not bound lmi.d
and foot and sold to largo capital
ists, as wo were soon after tho
War, when tlicy took largo con
tracts at 60. cents per cubic yard,
and built levecs at a cost of about
?0 cents per cubic yard, thus ma
king 15Q per cent, ou their con
tracts.
' I thank you for tho expose of
tho taxes paid by tho country since
1867-8. We can scarce rcallao that
wo havo become so powerless as
free citizens, holding tho inesti
mable (?) boon of clectivo fran
chise, as to permit our public ser
vants, (ho !.cgisltu,re aud Boards
of Supervisors., to oppress us in
so outrageous and scandalous a
manner,
Our officers were well paid be
fore the war, and wliat wero the
taxes J four to four ami a half
mills on tho dollar. - A hundred
per cent, is a large advance ou the
expenses of an administration;
but wliat would we have said if in
1860 some seer or prophet had told
us in a few years wo would bo
paying tkn jiunuhkd or (1000)
per cent, inoro taxes than we then
paid? Tell it not in Oath! lest
tho pcqple rebel and fall upon our
extortioners and thrust them from
the land.
It is well for tho peace of the
country that tho largo majority of
voters pay no taxos, or nominal
ones, or the exposition in your
paper of 17th October of the heavy
burden of taxes borne by us would
produce a revolution in 30 days.
A revolution in public sentiment
is going on, if not in arms. Wit

let Mississippi officeholders tnito

high priced provisions, stagnation
in business, aro prolific sources of
revolution. How those wlm have

Tho following is the Presidcnt'i
thanksgiving proclamation:
Wo are reminded by the chang
ing seasons, that it is time to pause
In our daily avocations and offer
thanks to Almighty God for the
mercies and abtgdancc of the year
which is drawing to a closa
the blessings or free govern
ment continue to be vouchsafed to
us ; the earth has responded to the
labor of the Inisbnndmnn; the
land bas been free from pestilence,
internal order is being maintained
aud peace with other powers has
prevailed.
It is fitting that at statodjporiods
we should cease from our accus
tomcd pursuits, and from tho tur
moll of our dally lives, and unite
in thankfulness for the blessings
of tho past, and lit the cultiratiou
of friendly feelings toward each
other.
Now, therefore, recognizing
these considerations, T, Ulysses 8.
Grant, President of the I ill tod
States, do recommend to all eitl
zcus to assemble in their respect
ive placos of worship on Thurs
day, the 26th day of November,
and express tholr thanks for tho
mercy and favor of Almighty God
and laying ssido all political con-
ton t loin and secular occupations
lo obsorvo such day as a day of
