the reason that they have had no Home

Slave Contracts,

The Judiciary Committee in the
Convention has submitted very i'm.
portant report upon the matter of
debts still duo for negroes purchased
bcforc tho decree of emancipation.
That report proposes to cxpungc
ovory cent due for debts so contracted
Wo observe that Mr.. Rutland and
Whittcmore, Of Darlington, opposed
tho adoption Of the report, on Monday,
but while in the midst Of tho discus
sion, the hour Of adjournment arrived.
This is question of very vital i'm
portanco for the Convention to take
mp and if tho report submitted by
tho Judiciary Committee, and which
will be found in tho report of the pro.
cccdings in this mornings NEws,-be
adopted, it will be surprising.
There is a growing tendency on the
part of that element which mainly

Convention, "to make slavery odious."
TO accomplish this, they are willing
to ignore every moral obligation that
forms tho cement of community of
indiYiduals.
Slaves a0ere property,--and why
not acknowledge it z? So there must
be something due to tho owner of that
property, who transferred it for con.
sidoration to another party, but which
consideration is still unpaid. Now
what docs common sense and common
justice declare : Simply that he who
owned tho slave, and sold him "on
time" is entitled at least to the value
of his services from the timo he was
sold to the time ho was set free. I
If tho Convention take this horn of
tho present dilemma, that body will
not only show its conservatism, but
also it's good sense. t

What Raoo Inhabited South Carolina be

Horc is question for tho scientific
to consider According to II report
from tho Charleston Courier, Prof,
Francis s. Holmes, of Charleston, has
made discoveries in tho bods of mari
on Ashley River, where operations are
now going on, on vast scale, which
will load thinking mon into now
avenues of thought.
The Courier has been shown three
specimens from this bed, viz: ID a
brick unburned, which, says tho Con-.
rter, is evidently the handiwork of a
race who existed long before tho red
men; (2) q section of an elephants
tooth, and (s)a perfectly preserved
tooth of q horse, which was petrifiod.
Strange to say, Professor Holmes
has, for years past, says the Courier,
zealously advocated tho theory that
before tho so-called aboriginal In

The following letter, in reference to tax
es to be collected on sales, viii DO read with
interest by our merchants and business
men:
HEADQUARTERS
SECOND MILITARY D1srR1oT,
CHARLESTON, S. c., January %, 1868.
1Ym. S. Hustle, Esq, Sheriff Charleston Dis
trict, Charleston, S. g.
SIR: Referring TO your communication Of
December 20, 1867, am instructed by tho
Commanding General to reply to your in
qures as follows
You inquire, "whero goods were sold on
commission in 1866, and settled for, previous
to Lh passage Of tho Act Of 1866, is 20
cents on tho 500 to bo collected, or not p"
Although your inquiry is confined to cases
of sales on commission, where the proceeds
are accounted for before tho passage of the
Act, the reply is applicable to all other
cases embraced under tho clause in ques-
tion.
Assuming the facts out Of which your
inquiry grows, to be rs stated by you, and
II appears that, during tho year 1866, prior
to The passage Of the Act raising revenue
for the year 1867, thcro was no law in op-
Grafton subjccting TO taxation transactions
of the class referred to by you, but that by
the last preceding Act on tho subject, the
rate Of taxation was fixed at 20 cents OH
tho 500, that being :ho amount fixed by
the last law preceding that of December,
1860.
Your second inquiry Is as follows: "Mcr-
chants having done business continuously
on their own account, or for account of
others. during 1866, delivering thcr goods
as they sold thcm, arc thoy to pay tho tax
of December, 1866, rs passed by tho Lcgis-
lature, NJ is their Tux to be scaled down to
90 cents on tho 500, or is no tax to DO col.
lcctcdf
Merchants doing business on their own
account, stand on tho same footing with
commission merchants Sales accompanied
by the transfer of property effected by them
prior to the passage of the Act of Docem-
Der, 1866, arc not Liable to taxation, under
the provisions of that Act AS to this lia-
bility of such transaction to tho tax of 20
cents, an answer has already been given,
under your first inquiry.
Your third inquiry relates to the proper
rate OF chargeablc taxation, in the case Of
newspaper publishing.
The business of publishing and vending
newspapers, including tho sale of advertise
ing space, is regarded as mercantile in its
character, and accordingly the provisions
Of the first clause Of General Orders No.
90 arc applicable TO taxes, laid upon trans
saotions in tho course of such business.
Tho rates chargcablo upon tho gross earn.
ings of such establishments. arc to be fixed
with reference TO the principles hcrcinaf or
laid down, in regard to the general mercan-
tile business. Very respectfully your obc-
dicht servant,
