Niie Mine Mills Taxatio.j.

a correspondent of the Charleston
News, commenting on tie nine mills
tax amendment, adopted by the House
Just prior to adjournment for the
holidays, says: Il meets with decided
dlstavor, and there is no doubt that it
will meet with further opposition
after tho Legislature has re assc mbled.
Even among the Radicals thcro arc
many fighting it now.
In the debatc In tie House, O'Cor-
hel spoke at length in favor of the re-
duction of the rate of taxation. He
desired that eight mills should be
Levied previously for the latter rate !.
If thoro vas a deficiency bill intro
duced he would support it, should it
be shown to him that it was right and
just. The entire expenses of tho
counties arc borne to-day BY tho
counties themselves, whilst previously
they were borne by tho State. The
cnly expenses Of the State, at present,
were the payment of tho State off.
cials, no one Of whom received mo,c
than three thousand dollars salary
lie desired to know where this vast
amount of money vas to 90. lIo con:
tinucd in this strain for some time;
ind succeeded in staving off the adop
tion of the nine mills amcndment;-
O'Connell is good worker, and al,
most always carries his point.

"ThingS Grow No Better, "

In South Carolina things grow no better.
Gov. Scott, in asking for assistance, SAYS
The hn'hluX have regular organization,
with staff and line officers and graduatiols
OF rank, and act as regular military force;
and he declares that the Legislature had
to have the roads to the capitol picketed,
while tney were setting recently, to prc.
vent themselves from being "gobblcd up"
This is all horrible, but we hate no hest.
tation in saying that it is the not unnatural
consequence of the caricature on govern.
ment that has existed in that State for the
past four years. Nothing can well justify
mob law, but when q civilized community
finds itself subjected to the rule of its
most ignorant members, aided or managed
by knayish adye nturers, all rational men
know that mob law is not unlikely to re.
suit. Society in the South is in an unnat.
urol state, and it is kept in an unnatural
state by policy ofproscription which has
long since ceased to have any excuse. The
proper men to legisIate for the south are
those in whom the community has most
and as long as they are pre-
vented we shall have trouble. The weak
point of the complaints that come from
some of the States about Ku-KluX is that
those who make them have all along dc.
clared that prescription was necessary TO
their protection. Ii now appears, howey.
er, that it is no protection at all.-ITho

Emigrating the Wrong Mnr.

In the face of the frequent emigration
meetings and unceasiBg emigration tall
that prevails in Tennessee, it is rather dis.
heartcning to read such paragraphs as thi,
and not be able to deny them:
"a Texas paper reports that, since last
September, $4,000 immigrants from Ten
nessee and Georgia, with l,G64 wagons,
have entered the clone Star" State, and
that this is but part Of the great tide
wave of population flowing to the South
west"
We should feel discouraged if we did
not know of another movement going on
to make up this acknowledged loss from
Tennessee. From the Northern States
and Europe, men and families come to
Tennessee every week. Coming by public
conveyance and generally in single partiess
they do not attract much remark but we
are satisfied that the aggregate is quite
equal, in point of numbers, to those who
are leaving the State, while, in possession
of capital, industry aud intelligence, the
new comers have very considerable advan-
tage over the old Out-goers.
Noticing the same paragraph quoted
above, tho Washington Chronicle says
ga gentleman of ample facilities of in
formation states that 5000 families have
within the last few years cmigrated from
Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, mostly to
the South. A large number of these have
taken I'D farms in Virginia, espeeially in
the Shenandoah Valley. 1t is found very
profitable to sell land in Pennsylvania at
from SlOO to $500 per acre, and rcinyest
at from S2 to S25 per acre in equally good
Or better land in still more genial cli-
mate"
This is the class of men that East Ten
lessCe needs. And a little systematic
,lfort would bring them by the score.
They would bring their capital, their
'tock, and, what is quite as nccdful, their
of farming and stock growing

Eating With Forks.

NJ. ". Peters, of Ostego county, New
York, wishes to know "why it is not con-
sidered polite to eat with u knife" He
says he has mingled with all classes in
New York city and elsewhere, and has
noticed that the male persuasion who
eat with their forks only, generally car
ry u gold headed cane, part their hair IN
the middle, and spend the money their
fathers have earned ; the gentler sex who
never put their knives in their mouths
usually sport u long trail, read novels,
iirt with braimless fops, and think it de-
grading to know how to cook steak or
make loaf of bread. notwithstanding
all this, it is fact that, in proportion as
our social civilization advances, fourtined
silver OF plated silver forks are fosand
for ale in hardware and house finnish
ing stores sll ovey the country. There
are two reasons for this. A knife sharp
enough to divide meat on the plate is an
unsafe not to say dangerous instrument,
to put in the mouth. It il also in the
nature Of shovel while the frsk per-
mits only slow and select feeding, which
is q sure mark bfrrfncnwnt in man on
brute.
The Sweetwater enterprise. (Sweetwater, Tenn.) 1869-187?, 1871-03-23

The designs hitherto entertained by
the parties engaged in the San Domingo
job are thus set forth in the columns of
the Tribune .n
"Thc plan of the annexationists has
heretofore been to bring the treaty be-
fore the Senate, convened in special OK
ecutive session, after the adjournment
of Congress, when no adverse influence
could be brought to bear from the House,
and when its confirmation, they thought
could be insured. Then, that annexa-
ton might be considered to be fully ac-
complished in the long interim before
the December session, troops were to be
sent to occupy the island. It WIS thus
intended to carry the matter so fur that
it would be impossible to recetle, and
the House would be forced to vote the
appropriation" tH
This has more startling aspect than
anything before published respecting
this porteirtogs scheme. If the attempt
should really be made to employ such
hgh-handed measures, the consequences
to those responsible for them would be
grnver than they probably have any no
tion Of But we are glad to be assured
by the Tribune THAT the idea Of forcing
matters in this way has been finally aban-
doned by Gen. Grant and his associates
in the annexation business.
