Taxes.

Ihe Legislature has adopted joint rcso
luton to levy 0 mills on the dollar to raise
supplies for State purposes for the current
yoar In our County the Commissioners
have ascortaihed that tax Of four mills will
be necessary to settle off existing demands
aud detray the current expenses of the Coun.
~ In this view our people may expect a
higher tax than ever before levied In 1869,
seven nndahnlf were levied for State pur.
poses, and threoamiIls for County purposes =
In 1870, five mills wcro levied for Stltc and
three mills for County purposes The pres.
cnt resolution, in view OF the general poverty
and depression Of The people, is very dis
hcnrtcning; but VIC can do no better than
quietly submit to the inevitable. looking for
ward with hope for better day. No ono
cn forget the flattcring promises held cut to
the people by the Radical speakers in the
late canvass nor fail to see, in this measurc,
their utter unreliability. The heavy taxes of
their administration were attributed, in n
great measure, to the accumulated interest
on the State debt, laid over hy the previous
administration. They wcrc told the taxes
would be decreased, incompetent officials
would be removed, surpus offices abolished,
excessive salaries reduced, and u general .ys
tom OF rctrenchmcnt aud reform inaugnratcd
within their own prr,y The crtiro course
of legislation has been The reverse of these
PROMISES, md the proceedings of the Lcgis
lature has been such rs to call forth the con.

It is, however, bat the fui!mcnt Of what
was predicted by the Reform party, anl Of

| Messrs. EHito,S: We have seen with re-.
grct that Mr. Wilkes, of Anderson, has in-
trodueed Bill to repeal tho Act which re.
pcilcd our nsury Laws---in othor words, Mr..
4 Wilkes wishes to- have those Lnws again of
| fo:cc in this State
| Now, Messfs Editors, we are not Il lender
of money, except in rery sp.aU SUMS, these
generally without interest on tho contrary.
we fear would always like to borrow; hence,
ursympat..ics should have US to unite with llr.
Wilkes and those who think with him. But
other considerations enter into tbs matter. -
we, however, do not propose to enter tito
them all, but will only submit few plain
thoughts. What is money? only rcpreser-
t''ion of valuo. Then, suppose. Nlcss,s.
Editors, that we were worth $40 600 in cash
aad you wero worth $4,000 in Land, lsc.
&o Suppose. again. you could rrnt your pos.
sessions for l,400 or3l 500 per annum, and
we could lend our money for tho same, canyou
tell us why Mr. Wilkes slionld restrict us to
S'O0 and leave you to make 81 POO Or l 500 +?
I"" would almost mLcl, if the Legislature
Lould say that you should not rent your
Farm, which is worth $1,000 per annuu for
more than $4,000. We do not perceive Tic
difference between $50 in cash uud COW
which will bring 500 in market We think,
therefore, the Legislature has the same rigLt
to say we shall only have Sl4o PR oauum
Tor our COW as to say VIC shall have only 10,
for the use of our money No, Mcssrs Editors,
everything is w"il. just what it will brin- in
tic market. Legislation cannot make it worth
more or less, unless supported 10y nn a, itrary
Government It may, however, drive the
c'pitn we SO much need f,om our State. Let
The money come to US, if we cannot ar,rd to
to borrow, perhaps others cen. and from them
we can get employment. Bur, WE did not
propose to argue this maftcr in all its BEARINGS.

An amusing story appears in The London
Drily News oi an elderly gentleman Who,
living near Nottingham, being unmarried, and
enjoying the reputation Of being Iich, recently
made bis VIII lie LclueaiLcd various sums
20 friends and relatives, but bis attentions were
chiefly directed to public charities. Tie gave
$40 600 to The General Hospital, and a SINH
lar sum to the Society for the Propagation Of
the Gospel in Foreign Pats. These provi-
stems in his will gradually became known,
and nothing could exceed the attention paid
him BY all manner Of people, who wished to
anticipate those expressions Of gratitude which
were the natural reward Of such generosity
Presents were showerel upos iliim. fio was
compelled to make long VISITS to bis numerous
acquaintance. Indeed, il was at friends
house that he died aud this gentleman was
only too glad tgproyide a sumptuous fun
cral and pay an the expenses. Unfor;uuate-
". it turned out that the elderly pbilauthro-
pist, so Ear from having any money to leave,
died in debt. His lcgacics were but freaks Of
