The Woman Suffrage Question in the House.

A most ridiculous debate took place in the
House; Wednesday night, on the question of
woman suffrage. A joint resolution to submit
an amendment to the Constitution, comforting
electoral privileges on women, to the people, at
the next general election, was recommended
by the Joint committee to whom the petition of
some women's rights females had been referred,
and the question arose-"What will we do with
it7" The gallant Byas, who didn't cane the
reporter of the Ners, had been one of the
committee, and delivered one of his torcible
and learned arguments in favor of granting
suffrage to the dear ladies', but hoped that the
of the Legislature.
Jamison, a little squatty member from Or
angcburg, of very inkY visage, took up the
cudgel against his. distinguished colleague,
,Byas According to his philosophical and
comprehensive view of the question, woman
suffrage was a thing not to be thought OF. He
spoke, he said, as married man, of thirteen
years experience, and it was his opinion that
if any more rights were conferred on women
than they now enjoy, it was all up with the
men. He thought it woman's place to stay
at home, attend the house, cook the meals and
patch the old mans breeches, &C.. and felt as
sured that all married men would agree with
him. 1t was only the young springald that
was aiming at making fair weather with his
dulcinea, by preaching up the rights of the
sex. said he, that would speak in favor of the
movement; but he opined that they would all
live to change their views, if ever they mar
ried and profited by his lengthy experience of
thirteen years with a wife.
Hurley, in his facetious style, commenced to
reply to Jamison, stating that, in his opinion,
any woman who had been subjected to the
misery of living thirteen years with the mem
Der from Orangeburg, not only deserved the
right of suffrage, but any and all other fran
chises privileges or fhvors which a legislative
assembly might confer upon her.
Jamison sprang from his scat and took indig..
nant exceptions To Hurley's use of the word
woman. 4 most ludicrous and turbulent scene
ensued, the Speaker striving to preserve order,
and Jamison vociferating that he understood
the English language and knew what he was
talking about. As soon as quiet was somewhat
restored, Hurley stated that, in his Judgment,
there was no better word in the language, nor
more charming specimen of Gods handiwork,
than woman; that he had used the word in no
offensive sense but, inasmuch as it was objec-
tionable to the member from Orangeburg, he
would take it back, and say that any man who
had lived thirteen years with that member was
entitled, &C. This pacfied the rilcd husband
from Orangeburg and restored harmony, and
the whole matter was finally laid upon the
table-Columbia Pheni1.

/ The TAXES THIS YEAR.-The rate OF tax
alton this year will be about twenty; times as
much as we were accustomed to pay before the
war. Yes. more than that There will be
about ten times as much collected on less than
half the amount of taxable property, which
would of itself increase the rate over twenty
times: and, besides this, real estate was for
merly assessed at never more than half Its
selling value, which, being taken into conside-
ration, throws the present rate up to at least
twenty-five times as much as that which was
customary in ante bellun, days. What COM
mentary on reconstruction and so-cailed Re-
publicanism in South Carolina! The various
taxes are rs follows: For State purposes,
mills; for County purposes, mills Blue
Ridge aid, mills; interest on public debt, b
mills total, 20 mills We have here two per
cent. on all the property in the State, appa-,
rentfy, but when, as is the fact, great part OF
the real estate is assessed at higher sum IMAM
its real or marketable value, this two per cent
must be proportionally increased: The entire
toYoble nrorerty. as returned In the Comptrol-
ler', reportof 1901, is assessed at S1S3, ,9l3,
367. It is to be presumed that the property IN
the State has increased some To be safe, and
to put it in round numbers, we will say that 1t
amounts to $1S4,00G000. Two per cent. on
that will amount to S9,6SO,000, which is about
81 100000 more than Comptroller General
Neagles extravagant estimates. To this must
be added the immense receipts from the La
cense Act, which we have heard no one estI-
mate at less than S1O0O,O0o. There is no tell
ing, even approximately, what amount Will L; be
wrTe,nched re, from the people under this most IN
famous mode of raising revenue. But take II
ot, 81 600 600. We then have to defray expen-
ses to the sum of 81 ,6SO, 900. The entire APP
propriations of the General Assembly, outra'
eeous and extravagant though they be, and the
will will reach over $4,000, ,OOO-which leaves
balance of S2,6SO,OOO for Scott, Parker u 20.
for electioneering purposes and private haas use
l. is just as we predicted d soma ont time and ths
greedy cormorants are now turning upon the
people people. The hard-handed farmers must be

The number of stars in the Milky Wayis
estimated at 100000. "In order," says
Humboldt, "to realize the greatness of this
number will call attention to the fact that
there are not in the whole heavens more than
5000 stars visible to the naked eye"
1t is said that "time cuts down all, both
great and small" House rents, however, are
an exception, for they are always going up.

Southey says: "a good man and wise
man may at times be angry with the world, at
times grieved for it; but be sure no man was
ever discontented with the world who did his

ANOTHER PROTEST AGAINST THE OFFAL NUI-

The Board Of Commissioners of Public Docks
met Yesterday sundry bills, amounting to S25,2GO 81,
presented by the Auditing Committee, were approved,
including one from the city for $780, for rent OF the
supply yard at the foot Of Gansevoort-St.
circumstances were received from about 100 mer-
chants and others, against the building of dumping
board on the bulkhead at the foot OF Madenane for
the use of the contractors for street cleaning nasmuch
as it would be highly detrimental to commerce. Com
missioner Wood said that Madenane had been selected
as the least Objectionable point that there was no
dumping place the East River below Goyerneur-st
and that all street refuse had 10 be carted from the
lower the dumping place on the North HlVcr,
above Washington Market, at an enormous expense.
Wherever the dumping was located some people
would consider II nuisance. lie therefore moved a
reference Of the remOnsTauce TO the Executive Com
mttee. ,
Commissioner Henry stated that since voting for the
building the Dumping BOardhe had come TO the con-
cusiOn that expense Of cartng the refuse TO some
other place would be trivial compared with the loss
which might eusue from niuTlng commerce. lie there
fore moved, amendment that work be forthwith
suspended and the remOnstrdntS invited To appear be-
fore the Executive Committee for hearing, at D. m
Monday The amendment was carried, Mr.. Wood alone
