Taxes in North Carolina.

Much complaint says the Sprrtal, ia heard
OF the Ugh taxes in South Carolina. AS n
means of comparison we append tho items of
taxation Of the North Curolinian tax act. From

clude that they are not taxed more than their
neighbors:

"On our table is n sample ofcotton grown
by our conntryman, Mr. Evans, which recently
sold in New Orleans market, by Mess-s. Jor.

enough Of its classif cation 10 make il an oh
lect 70 the brokers, or a still better price could
have been obtained. We are assured that the
cotton was cultivated, picked and ginned by
Dir. Evans precisely AZ he did the rest Of his
crop. Hence the high figures it commanded
are attributable to its intrinsic merits, which
were. OF course. we'll understood by the excel.

Senator Hunters Speech.

We have read with much interest the late
able speech Of Senator Hunter of Virginia. on
the revenue and expenditure of the Government.
IL exhibits thorough mastery Of the questions
Of finance involved, is very elaborate ia de-
tails, and is characterized throughout by great
clearncss Of statement and cogency of reason
ing The Senator is opposed to any change in
Tie present tariff, and thinks that it is inprac-
tIcnble to pass through Congress- n tariff suft
| cIehtiy high to enable the Government to meet
It's very extraordinary expenditures, accord.
| ing to the estimates Of the Secretary Of the
Treasury. These expenditures however may
be very considerably reduced, SO as TO Le
brought within the revenue of the Govern
ment; and the Senator cutters into detailed
exposition of the mode of eirecting this.
The Secretary estimates the amount Of the
expenditures for the next fiscal year at S73,-
100000. and this with d Post Office deficiency
of$i,000.OO0, would raise the total expendi-
lures TO SIT 900 600. But the Senator shows.
that this amount should bc reduced to the ex
tent Of sl2 600, 900 the average o uncxrcnled
annual balances. This deducted from S73 600
600, would leave $Gl,OU0.UO0, and this with
"Se
amount of expenditures S65 .0oO, 900.
lhis estimate is based upon the existing ap-
preparation of SC, 600, 900 from the Treasury to
the Post Office Department; but the Senator
thinks that this amount should be saved, hy
making the Department self sustaining A
blii IS now before Congress. which by abolish
ing the fr"nking privilege. and raising the
rates ofPostage, will probably save the amount
Of :6.0Oo,o 900 to the Government. nnI thus re-
d"cc the annual expenditure to 500 ,OO0, 900 or
$4,000 600.
The Secretary estimates the annual income
Mt So? 100000 aud thus We have nh annual sur
plus of Sl3.oOD, 900, whicl, would furnish ample
menns, for the ordinary expenses of the Gov.
crnnent.
The Senator enters into n detailed cxamina.
tion OF the Secretary's estimates of the receipts
from the Customs and the Public Lands. TO
show that they are moderate and must pro-
duce revenue of 69,OooO00; and conse
qucntly that it Is inexpedient. at present to
change the tariff of 1851 particularly as the
Secretary does not anticipate IL deficiency un.
til the expiration of the next fiscal year.
The Senator enters here into an able de-
fence OF the tariff Of 1857, and ans wers conclu-
sIvely the objections f. he measure, that it add
cd too many articles - 40 free list, that 1t gave
LOO little protection to Use Pennsylvania iron
Interest,-and that it imposes al ralorcm in
stead ofspecific duties Ills defence of The al
"aforem system is indeed mastery and he
shows conclusively that it is more stable, less
liable to fraudulent abuses. and imposes fewer
checks upon importation.
The speech concludes with all able y,niica-
tton Of the principles Of free trade, and glow.
ing tribute to the expansive capabilities of
American enterprise. if left to its natural de-
veoPment. and untranmelcd by odious COM
mercial restrictions
