The Senatorial Election.

We publish elsewhere tho report of
the Senate Committee. The position
assumed by the Committee is that the
election should be pronounced null
and void, because Of illegal conduct in
the County Canvassers in not reject
ing tho vote at Calhoun's Mills. But
Wright, the Chairman, admits that
the decision of the County Board is final
and that rs "no corruption is charged
the committee cannot 60 behind their
report" But is it not doing so to take
testimony MS to matters which came
properly before the. County Canvas
sers, and upon which they have passed
judgement? IF tho County Canvas
scrs' Judgment is final, Col. Cothran
is entitled to his scat. But no, Col.
Cothran is Democrat and not only
Beverly, Nash, but the Republican
party, is willing "to camp outside Of
the Constitution !" to exclude him;
But say they, the Republic cans have
Il majority in !Abbcvi lc, and it is i'm:
possible for a Democrat to carry fair
election. We fake issuc-wo deny
tho allegation We ,coptrovert the
charge. But Why hold election at all,
if it's, to be prejudgcd in that way u?
A popular election in Abjcvi11e is
Tho m'crest' farce, if the dicission Of
the Board Of County Canj;ygassers IS IS to
be 'oterrarGd in that way. In .'fnturc-
let US have no election at'all. let the
Republicans select their men. That
wohid BIO as fair as. tho present pro
cceding. ~ "@ -; '''.'

STATE AUDITORS REPoRT.-The FOL-
lowing is synopsis from the report
of Mr. REUBEN Tomlinson:
The total amount received on .oc-
count of taxes for fiscal year 1869, t.
October 81, 1869, inclusive, is S1,02S.
iGG.0S. or this amount, according t.
he returns received up to the writing
of this report, s56, 1913 was paid on ac
count of Poll Tax, and s9S2, ,6OG.0S for
purposes OF State Government. The
Poll Taxes of Orangeburg, Richand
and Charleston not yet fully collect
cd.
After reviewing the former tax laws
of the State, the Auditor says: The
real property of the State is cstmat-
cd at SIG, G,125,O21, n IN Aid the per-
sonal ut s3S, 92s, 44G, Making u to-
tai Of Sl14,9 ,953,4G7. "But," says the
Auditor, ''it is general admmittcd, !
believe, even by those most opposed
to the present Government, that the
real estate and personal property Of
the State would be below their truc
value ut 5000, 1000, 900"
"The State Board Of Equalization
was called together and found the
property returns rs above stated.
Pho duty imposed upon the Board by
the law is as clear and explicit rs
any other duty under it. That duty
was to raise the real property of the
several counties to what they believed
to be its true valuo. This they did.
1t has been asserted that this increase
was made in order to raise the amount
of revenue needed by the State.
Such is not the oasc. The revenue
could havo been raised as readily BY
increasing the per ccntum of taxa
ton; and the clamor which would
have cnsued in that event would have
cen no greater. The State Board
was aware that this increase would
boar heavily upon some individuals,
and hence felt the responsibility rest
ing npon them but they were also
aware that if no increase was made in
the valuation, an increase would have
to be made in the rate, and this would
not only he oppressive upon individu
ais, but upon conntles, as compared
with other counties. 1t has been as
serted that this board is Il monstrous
anomaly, and that it ought not to be
permitted to exist. Similar Boards
oNlst in all the States, whore this sys
tenn of taxation prevails and in their
operation aIc found to be admirable
incentives toward securing fair and
eqnal assessment in the various loca
communities. The people in the diff
ferent counties of this State will sec
see to it in any future assessment Of
their real property that very littl,
work shall be left for the State Boart
Of Equalization."
