The Defeat Of, the Police Bill.


We have another instance OF the queerly
inconsequential conduct Of 1.-The House OF
Representatives. They had the Polce'bill
before them, and after great to-do laid it
on the table. There it remained until last
Monday, when it was taken up and placed
on the calendar. This sudden change OF
front led the public to believe that the bill
would pass; and lol it was defeated yester-
day by vote OF rs to ls. Who would have
thought its Jesting apart, the House: OF
REPRESENTATIVES have acted wisely and well.
The reiection OF the Police bill will be hailed
with satisfaction by every man who has at
heart the tranquility and well-being OF

Charleston's. Peril.

:. We do not think it necessary to set fortf
at length the reasons which justify the con-
clusion that the loss OF the South Carolina
Railroad, or its passage into the keeping %
the Central Ring, must lead to the CONNER
cial ruin OF Charleston. The whole OF this
branch Of the subject has already been
thoroughly discussed in these columns. II
is sufficient now to say: that at least nine,
tenths of the trade and commerce Of the
city depend upon a continuance OF the facili,
ties for collecting and distributing freight,
and forwarding passengers secured to
Charleston by the South Carolina Railroad
and the connecting steamship lines, which
lines could not exist for q month IL deprived
OF the support given them by the road =
Stripped Of her vast business in cotton,
grain. naval lstoresi and lumber; with the
shipment Of phosphates and all manufac.
tured goods. curtsiled by high rates OF
freight; withithe efforts OF the jobbers aud
merchants to compete with the North made
futile by like cause; with the bulk Of the
banking capital driven to more profitable
felds. and the remainder offered at prohib-
itoryy prices; with thousands OF persons de-
priyed OF employment and depending on the
city for temporary OF. permanent relief; with
all occupation for. mechanics and laborers
taken away, by reason OF the stoppage OF
improvements and the closing and removal
OF mills and factories; with real estate fall
ing in price, making it needful to advance
the percentage Of taxation in the proportion
in which property is less able to bear it.
with these evils pressing upon the people,
Charleston, In q few years, would be dead
beyond all hope Of resurrection. The COM
bining influe ices OF negro rule, and OF tie
loss of all business but that which the lipger-
ing inhabitants could extract from their
common wants, would destroy Charleston
more effectualIy than fire and pestilence
could ever do.
We have no desire toalarm the people, or
to add one other cause OF distrust to the
many vexations which embarrass them. It
is our duty to telLthe plain truth, as we uu-
derstaad it, and it shall be our aim to sug-
gest what appear to>us to be sure and effect
uai ways OF averting every danger and OF
retaining the advantages which, as they
strengthen and increase, will make Charles
ton the foremost city Of the South. -.

killing tbs Goose i!

The one great aim Of the General Assem-
biy is to raise money by taxation. Upon no
other subject can their action be foreseen
with any degree OF certainty. They abuse
to-day the measure which they affectionate-
" embrace tomorrow. What would induce
q body OF intelligent and disinterested rep.
resentatives Of the public to take one course,
Invariably leads our sanity solons to move
in the opposite direction. But upon the
question OF taxation they are as true as the
needle to the pole.
1t is rather surprising, therefore, that they
do not pause to consider what effect their
hasty legislation is likely to produce upon
the public revenue. A tax OF twenty mills
will not realize twice as much as q tax Of
ten mills, because persons who could pay
the lower tax cannot pay the higher one.
For the benefit Of the lawmakers We lay
down this axiom: In computing the reVe-
nue. from taxation, two and two do not make
fourI The Legislature might, for instance,
Impose tax Of forty mills, but 1t is safe to
say that the proceeds would not be three
times the net result Of tax OF ten mills.
We would, besides, remind the Leglsla-
ture that Charleston, as tax-paying COM
munity, deserves mc.e consideration than is
given her. Public spirit and enlarged views,
the members Of the Legislature have not.
They may, perhaps, be made to understand
that whatever retards the growth OF Charles
ton impairs confidence and unsettles the
community, lowers, in the same degree, the
ability Of Charleston to pay taxes. The as.
sessed value Of the real and personal proper.
ty in Charleston County is about forty mil.
lions, one fourth ofMe taxable property Of
the ao1ole Slate. About three-idurths of the
property of the county lies in the City o.
Charleston. Now it should be the aim oil
the Legislature to fondle and caress Charles
ton. to make her hale and hearty, to en-
courage the efforts Of her people to grow
rich: because, the aoealttier Charleston IS
the more taaeS she is able to pay! This II
a plain proposition. Just as pruden
housewife iaLtens her festival turkey II
order to enjoy it the more when the time
comes for it's digestion, so the Legislature
should falten up Charleston, with the vleV
Of squeezing from her every year satlsiac
tory amount Of taxes.
Yet the Legislature deliberately do what
as tax-collectors, they ought not to do, ont
leave undone what they should do. The

FIRE IN THE BELMONT Coal BANK
Last evening fire was discovered in the
Belmont coal bank, on German street
between First and Second streets, Centre
Wheeling. The excitement for time
was intense, it being rumored that eight
coal diggers were in the bank. The
wives, children and other relatives OIL
the men who were supposed to be inside
of the bank crowded round the mouth
of the mine, crying and wringing their
hands in grief. The report proved tc
be unfounded; all the workmen and all
the stock was got out uninjured. The
fire was communicated to the bank
from the furnace, and in few moments
the flames were burning bravely. The
Belmont Hose Company was sent fol
and work was shut down at the mill
and in a few minutes all the nailers
boilers, nail feeders, helpers and every
body else that could lend hand was a
work, aiding to extinguish the flames
The hose was attached to fire'plug
and the bank was flooded with water
When we last heard from there-eigh
o'clock last night-they had the fir
under control.

VALUABLE HORSE KILLED.-When
Dan Rice's circus closed its season here,
Dan turned his stock out to Craze al
the Fair Grounds Among the animals
was the beautiful and highly trained
white stallion Stephen A. Douglas, a
horse that has been more admired than
any other that was ever exhibited with
the only exception of Dan Rice's blind
horse Excelsior, Jr. On Monday, while
the horses were scsmpering across the
grounds, Douglas attempted to jump
over the picket fence, north Of the
stand, on to the race track. Failing to
clear the the fence, he came down on
the sharp pointed pickets, and was 90
badly Injured that it was found neces-
sary to shoot him to put him out Of his
misery. The horse was valued at $1,000,
though Colonel Rice would not have
sold him at any price.

SALE OF FURNITURE.--The attention
OF the public is called to the sale Of
handsome furniture at the residence Of
Mrs. Catharine A. List, corner OF Main

Wednesday morning, September IL
The impression is prevailing that most
of the finest articles have been disposed
of. Mrs. List requests us to say that
they have declined all offers for private
sale, and that persons desiring superior
articles can secure them at price
much below cost.
