WASHINGTON, February 81.


It is stated that Mr.. Douglass, commissioners
of internal revenue, has drafted bill, at the
request of the committee on ways and means,
which concentrates the whlskey tax at 70
cents. A tariff bill Is reported In the Senate
from the finance committee, which makes tha
duty on tea ten cents, on coffee two cents, on
rock and bulk salt nine cents per hundred
weight, and in packages twelve cents per hun:
dred weight, on cleaned rice one and half
cents per pound, on hides and skins FIVE per
cent, ad Udlorena. After the frat OF July the
dulles on cottons, woods, silks, iron and steel
will be reduced ten per cent. Barley and
various drugs have been placed on the free
list.
In the Senate the entire day was occupied In
discussing the sale Of arms TO France, Morton,
Conkllng and Sumner speaking. Conkllng's
amendment instructing the committee to In
ouire whether any senator had been IN unlaW-
ful communication with the agents OF foreign
governments was passed. This points at

DISASTROUS FIRE IN MARIoN.-The Crescent
saws On Tuesday morning the fine dwelling
house of Mr.. Samuel NJ. Stevenson was dis
covered to be on fire. The inmates of the
house were sitting In The house, unconscious
OF their danger and great misfortune until
servant ran in and informed them that the
roof of the building was wrapped In hames'
with but two hands on the place, Of course,
nothing could be done to check the devouring
element. In few hours the dwelling, kitchen
and smokehouse, and all oulbuildings, except
the carriage house on the west side OF the
public road, were in ashes. The furniture was
saved, bnt slightly damaged, and With but
very loss; but, Notwithstanding this, Mr.. Ste
veDson's loss cannot be less than $500. 1t Is
not known how the fire originated, put the
general supposition is that the roof was igni-
ted by spark from the chimney. There ap'
pears to be but the QUE opinion, that this terri
bic calamity was accidental.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIE NEws.l
COLUMBIA, Wednesday, February 21.
In the Senate to-day, Smalls introduced
another bill to provide for the inspection OF
phosphates, more stringent In Its terms and
more general In its application than the for
mer one. It extends the supervision of the
inspector over guanos and all descriptions of
commercial fertilizers.
In the House, the committee on privileges
and elections reported favorably upon the
new election law proposed by Jervey. This
bill provides for an immediate count of the
votes after the closing of the polls, but spolls
the effect of this just and sensible proceeding,
by making no provision for the representation
Of both political parties upon the bonds of
commissioners of election.
The House then took up the appropriation
bill. A long discussion ensued, and without
action the House adjourned. PICKET.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD.
From the New YORK Daily Bulletln.l

Great interest has been excited IN Charles
ton and throughout the South generally by the
proposed sale or lease of the Soulh Carolina
Railroad to the Georgia Central Railroad. AT
the annual meeting of stockholders IN Charles
ton, few days ago, rather stormy scene
took place. The report was not favorable,
and decrease of business during the last year
was announced. 1t was also stated that the
company was seriously embarrassed by float
fneand other debts. No dividends have been
maid for the last five or six years, and the roll
ing stock and road bed are known to be IN
bad condition. Under these circumstances, II
Would appear that the sale or lease OF the road
TO parties who would place 1t in good and pay
inc condition would be equally advantageous
to the stockholders and the people Of the State.
But this view appears to be by no means popu.
lar, and very angry feeling has been elected
by the reported negotiations of the Georgia
Central Railroad for the lease OF the read:
The South Carolina Railroad extends from
Charleston to Augusta, Ca, one hundred and
thirty seven miles, and, with branch roads to
Columbia and Camden, making total OF Two
hundred and fOrty-three miles controlled Dy
the company. The Georgia Central extends
from Savannah 10 Macon, one hundred and
ninety.Cwo miles, with branch and leased
lines to Augusta, Milledgeville, Columbus, Al
bany, &C., forming total of five hundred and
forty-one miles. This is q prosperous, we'll
managed railroad and does q good business.
Mr.. Moses Taylor, of this city, has bought
heavily in this railroad, holding, We believe, q
controlling interest In 1t, and Is now d.
rector.
Notwithstanding the outside pressure OF
public opinion in South Carolina, IL IL very
probable that 1t the stockholders of the South
Carolina Railroad were guaranteed anywhere
above four per cent. ON their stock. they would
gladly accept it. This view is warranted by
The favorable reception accorded to certain
resolutions to that effect Introduced in the
heen made. but the Indications are that the
negotiation will be soon effected. Nor is il
probable that the transaction would be other.
wise than beneficial to Charleston. Any par
ties making themselves responsible for the
n6ad would be obliged to increase its facilities
and business In order to reimburse themselYee
