A Proposed Change In the Charleston
Municipal Election Law-Miscella-
neous Legislative Measures.
IFRoH OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE
COLUMBIA, 8. c., February IL.
The most important feature of to-day's legis-
lative proceedings has been the refusal of the
House, by the decided vote Of hfty-eight to
thirty, 10 levy, at this session, the tax for the
fiscal year of ls73-T4. The arguments which
have been used for and against the levying of
this tax at the present session have already
been fully recited In this correspondence, and
the House committee on ways and means, in
whose hands the matter was originally placed,
had determined upon poslponing the levy until
next winter, when, 1t was argued, the Legisla-
ture would be In o better position to Judge
what amount of TAX is necessary than they can
be now. The House, however, ordered the
committee to report q lax bill, and as has
been reported they did report bill providing
for a levy of slx mills for general purposes,
two mills for schools, three mills for defcen-
cies and three mills for the counties. This
bill came up for debate In the House to-day.
and it was summarily disposed of upon mo-
ton of Representative Bosemon BY having its
enactiDg clause stricken ont by the vote
above stated. Thi "se settles the ques-
tlon, and it follows tnat t..e levy will not be
