The Poll-Tax.

The non-collection of the poll-tax from the
newly-enfranchised citizens of this State is at
last receiTing attention from the Legislature.
The Constitution sets apart the revenue derived
from this source to assist in the support of free
schools, but another clause makes provision
that no person shall be deprived of the right
of suffrage because of non-payment, as is the
case in other States. AS there is no penalty
attached, the collection of this tax is practical
ly out of the question, where parties are dis
posed to evade payment, and it has been the
experience of the past that many were so dis
posed A bill has been introduced in the
House of Representatives, which directs that
County Tzeasurers promptly collect the poll
tax from the property of such persons as are
liable, in the same manner that they distress
for other taxes Non-property owners failing
to pay the tax are made liable to twenty days
hard labor on the public roads and highways.
County Treasurers are to furnish annually a
list of such persons to the County Commission
ers, who are authorized to compel their attend
ance for labor by any "lawful means" 1t is
difficult to determine what are the "lawful
means" by which the Commissioners can COM
pei the attendance of delinquents, and on this
point the bill is said to be silent. But we
trust that our legislators will provide adequate
remedies for this growing evil, as not only the
interests of free schools demand it, but practi-
cal justice and equity require that these bur-
dens should be more equally divided.

MIR. Ligon,s School.

We are much gratifed to learn that the
opening week of Mr. Ligon's school has been
signal success. He has upwards of forty
scholars already enrolled, and the prospect
of large number hereafter We hope our cit
izcns appreciate the Importance of sustaining
this effort to furnish educational advantages at
home Ample room for Improvement in this
particular among our citizens, as they are too
apt to be content with meagre facilities in their
own midst, and readily supply the money to
sustain other schools elsewhere. There is no
reason why Mr.. Ligons school should not be
the nucleus for first-class academy of the
highest grade, and it only needs the effort and
cooperation of our own people to accomplish
it. Some years ago, Anderson was widely
known as an educational centre, but this has
all passed away, and VIC must begin anew to
build up and encourage every effort to increase
our present advantages in Importance and
merit

Legislative Proceedings.

We are unable to give the usual synopsis of
proceedings for the last few days, and will no.
tice only the most important features. The
Senate was not in session on Saturday. In the
House, Mr.. Hayne offered a resolution that the
General Assembly do adjourn sine die on the
1st of March. A motion was made to lay this
resolution on the table, which was defeated
ayes 12; nays rs. The resolution fixing an
adjournment was then adopted by close vote,
and ordered to be sent to the Senate.
On Monday, in the Senate, aconcurrent reso-
luton from the House to adjourn sine die on
the 1st of March, after lengthy discussion,
was concurred in by vote of ten to eight.
The House resolution to investigate the affairs
of the Blue Ridge Railroad was also concurred
in, and Messrs. Corbin and Nash appointed on
the part of the Senate.
In the House, Mr. Wilkes introduced a joint
resolution authorizing the County Commis-
sioners of Anderson to alter the time of per-
forming labor on the roads in this county du-
ring the present year, which was appropriately
referred A joint resolution that Hon. j. l..
Orr be allowed $500 compensation for extra
services as Judge of the Eighth Circuit, passed
its second reading.

A New Railroad Project.

A recent visit of Gen. Harrison, President of
the Blue Ridge Railroad, to the city of Char
lesion, has disclosed the fact that there is new
railroad project on foot, looking tothe advance
ment of our long-expected connection with the
great West We have always thought that the
South Carolina Railroad should be more di-
rectly concerned in the completion of the Blue
Ridge Railroad, and we are glad to know that
there is a prospect of that strong corporation
lending its powerful aid in the work. Thesys-
tenn of railroads in this State has been governed
hitherto by short-sighted policy, never reach
ing into the future, and grasping the ultimate
relation of different lines All-of ouF-Roads
have been constructed with view to local and
temporary advantages, and regardless of the
growth and progress of our own State, much
less the chance of being distanced by our neigh
bors. 1t will afford us pleasure to record the
successful termination of the negotiations now
pending, between the Roads above named, and
which in due time will be made public. We
are not at liberty to enligbten our readers auy
further at this time, but will take occasion to
give them the earliest information when a def
mite result has been attained. In noticing the
visit of Gen. Harrison, the Charleston Daily
Republican says:
''We understand that the object of his visit
is conference with some leading citizens who
are specially concerned in the management of
the principal railroad lines. We do not know
the details of the contemplated plans, but the
great object in view is to complete our system
of internal communication by direct connec-
ton with the great West through the Blue
Ridge, and any plan that offers a reasonable
hope of success should meet with cordial sym
pathy and prompt cooperation in this city.
The recent action of Georgia, in regard to her
Central Railroad, the consolidation of the line
from Norfolk to Bristol, indicate the zeal with
which lines north and south of US are being
pushed forward. Our neighbors are alive to
their interests, and threaten to distance US in
the contest for the western trade, and to isolate
Charleston and South Carolina by the opening
of direct western railroad lines just beyond or
borders on either side.
Especially does it seem important that there
should be unity of action between the Blue
Ridge Railroad and the South Carolina Rail-
road, the managers of which must appreciate
the wisdom of any course which will make
a finished and harmonious whole CT rail sys-
tenn now incomplete, fragmentary and Ian
gushing"
