MEssRs. EDITORS: The telegraph
has informed us several times that
Gov. Orr is in Charleston, in consul
tation with Gen. Candy, in arranging
for the taxation of the people of this
State. We are further Informed,
that the State appropriation bill will
shortly be issued by Gen. Candy, and
that it provides literally for the Judi
ciary, penitentiary and public insti-
tutions, and that the State tax bill
will appear at the same time. You
will, Messrs. Editors, confer q favor
by informing the public if the Re-
construction Acts authorize Gen.
Candy to impose taxes on the people
of this State, and whether there is
any law or authority of the so-called
State of South Carolina authorizing
Gov. Orr to participate in adding
burthens on an over-taxed people.
Taxes are not collectable until June
next, some six or seven months
hence. If we are to be State on
the basis of the Reconstruction Acts
of Congress-, there is ample time, by
our future rules, to impose taxes. If
not, then the Congress of the United
States can provide for the necessary
taxation. We are of those who be-
lieve we have still some rights left;
and so believing, we make the in
quiry, whether the authority is given
to Gen. Candy and Gov. Orr to Jim
pose and collect taxes from the peo-
p. of South Carolina?
MANY TAXPAYERS. B
So far as Gen. Candy is concerned,
he is acting within the purview of
the Reconstruction Acts passed by
Congress. for, if weread them Alright,
he has supreme control over his Mill
tary District. Gov. Orr, we presume,
has been called upon merely as
medium through which information
as to the different sections of the
State may be obtained.
