The State Auditors Report.

The Report, of the State Auditor has
been published, and enbodies much
valuable information with regard to the
taxable property of the State, real and
personal, and the amount of ta1es as
sessed and collected. -
One'of the most noteworthy facts e3-
hibited by the Report, is that out Of
10000 voters iu the State only some
41,0o0 have paid their poll tax. As there
are about sixty thousand white voters
the blacks, it is very evident, have moi
paid sheir pelftax. There is no d!sfrsn
enlistment on account of failure to pay
and as a consequence the blacks have
refused pay. Vested with the contro
sof the government they contribute noth
ing to itsssupport-no. eseAfac palt.J
poll-tay.
Another unpleasant fact exhibited b5
the Report, is the increased rate of Taxa
ton for the present year, During the
year ending October 81, 1870, the tota.
amount received for State taxes was
s6s9,s75, This year the State tax (inclu:
ding thepoil tax will beat least ST..
10000. Prior to the elections Of octc.
last, we had q State taxof s mills on
the dollar. The Radicals won, and, ct
once, increase the tax to 8 milk.
A large part Of tha report Is devoted
toJhequestioa Of the liability Of rail,
roads to Be tp5ed. The assessesssd vel,
.ue Of their property ip Che staseamppn nts
to slTe77 Sso, and If these corporations
paid theft due share Of the burden OF
ztaaatioa the taz-payersS OF the State
would be relieved TO tho extent OF s5o,'
.ooo.aogpsl!y. Why should they not be
taxed :.

statistics Of the Report;

The Legislative fermcnt over the
troubles in Union and Spertanburg,
seems to be subsiding; towhiel we sup
pose the temperate Message of GoHsr'
nor Scott materially contributes.
Whipper's Martial La" Bill has come
from the Committee on Military Affairs
with,a favorable report. The Commit
tee, however, recommend that the Coun-
| ty Of Ncwbarry be not included in the
counties which are to be placed under
martial law. The Bill will go through
the House, but we trust will receive it's
quistus either IN tha sslate or at the
hands OF the Governor.
Cain, the member from AbbeVille,
seeks to immortalize himsslf, by intro
ducing bill, reciting, that as numerous
outrages occur in tho said county, and
the laws connot be enforced by the civil
authorities, the Governor beinstructed to
call out the militia in the county to as
sist the civil authorities, and the eX-
penses OF the same be paid out of the
contingent funds of the State. 1t is
somewhat singular that none Of these
outrages that move the member, have
come to light as yet. The general I'M
ipression seems to be that they exist only
i'll the imagination of the legislator,
! The Bill to repeal the Act creating q
State Police has virtu0usiy passed both
Houses. 1t is g. singular fact that O
number of the members Of the General
Assembly were at one tiine members of
the force, and such as were are very bit
