I E HE.HL L
DEATH OF I. P. ALLEN, Eso.-The Greenyills
Enterprise brings the sad intelligence of the death
of Mr.. ALLEN, which occurred at his residence, in
that town, on Monday last. MFR. ALLEN was a
New Englander by birth, but came to this city
when quite young, and for many years conducted
q school with great success. He subsequently be-
came connected with tho firm Of McCARTER &
ALLEN, but had retired from business previous to
the war, and purchased a farm near the city. Du-
ring the war he removed to Greenville, 8. c., and
remained . citizen OF that place until his dca tn.
FREIaHTs.-The large amount Of merchandise
now being shipped to this place from Northern
ports, intended for all points in the South and
West, and the heavy increase in the arrival Of cot
ton from the interior to be shipped to the North
and Europe, has induced considerable activity in
freights, and several large ships are now on the
berth for Liverpool. The demand for room in
steamers bound North is much ahead Of the sup
ply, and freiglts from here have temporarily taken
a rise. Our steamship agents have placed on ad-
ditional steamers. Among them Messrs. J. & Il.
GETTY have the Prometheus; Messrs. STREET
BROTHERS & Co., and CoURTENAY g. TRENHOLM ex-
pect the Eclipse, the James Adger and the Rhode
Island will soon be ready, and Messrs. RAvENEL &
Co. look for the Saragossa. We may, in conse-
quence, expect lively times in the freighting bust
ness during the Winter.
TAXATION OF RAILRoADs.--We obtain the follow
ing information from the Columbia Phoenix An.
other very interesting case commenced yesterday
evening, before Judge MOSES. The point is the
legality or constitutionality of the tax imposed by
the last Legislature on the gross income Of rail
roads. The Charlotte and South Carolina Railroad
made their return under the law, and made ar
engagements to pay the tax. The Greenville Rail-
road made it's return, but did not pay the
tax, and an execution to collect the tax
was issued. The South Carolina Railroad
made no return, and was double taxed, ac-
cording to the provisions of the law. and an execu-
tion was issued therefor, upon which the latte,
corporation has presented o petition, praying for q
prohibition against the collection Of the tax. This
is the question the argument on which was com.
menced last evening. ARTHUR, MELTON & MELTON
for the railroad, and F1cKIrNa & Pope for the
State.
