which cast u gloom over the party is
to be deeply regretted, and should
have the effect of deterring others

Four shots were successfully fired al
him, but he escaped by putting spurs

The Tax Levy

The most important matter before
the Legislature at present, is the bill
for levying the taxes, and we sec
that the Committee of Ways and
Meaps, have agreed. to recommend
the levying Of State tax Of twelve
mills, to-wit, f-o mills for general
purposes, two mills for the school
fund, and FIVE mills for DEFICIENCIES OF
the previous year. Ado to thiS,three
mills the usual County Tax, and in
Abbeville two mills additional for
building the new Court House, and
two mills more as recommended by
the Grand Jury. and provided for by
resolution introduced by Senator
HeI.;nshead, and We shall have to
pay here in this county a tax of neal
two per cent.
1t will be seen that no provision
has been made for the payment Of
the interest of the public debt, and
this payment it seems IS to await
proper adjustment and reduction ol
that debt.
