and privileges they are disturbed. 1t cannot
in verify, be claimed that antagonism of the
races is feature of the alleged opposition
against the general government. And it ii
equally true that men of all shades of color
and political sentiment enjoy their opinions
and exercise the rights of free citizenship with
out fear or molestation.
If the evasion of United States revenue
laws be assigned as one of the causes render
ing troops necessary in the South, it can be
shown that the evasions or attempts at eva
sions, making allowance for the difference in
population, are no more numerous in the
South than in the North. Such offenses are
committed in the South, it is not denied
That they are committed in the North, on a
larger scale, is also an admitted fact. In the
absence of previous hostilities between the
sections, the same offenses against the same
laws would be committed North and South
The offenses are not prompted by hostility to
the government, but more by the cupidity Of
the individual, as is shown by the fact that in
the South, especially, large majority of those
detected in defrauding the government OF
revenue are identified with the political party
now in power. And such delinquents, we are
happy to believe, are not so numerous nor so
desperate that they cannot he brought to jus,
tice by ordinary civil process, as easily in
South Carolina as in Ohio.
Aside from the above considerations, our
social system is in more healthful condition
than is that of the North. Our laboring pop
ulation is happy and contented. There are
no extensive strikes to be subdued by military
surveillance There is no conflict between Ia
Dor and our scanty capital. There are no So
cieties of Communists in our midst. Mobs do
not parade the streets of our cities demanding
bread or blood, terrorizing the people and
rendering life and property insecure. But to
the contrary, in this view of the case, all is
peace and quiet So it is in all the different
ramifcations of the subject. The South is at
peace, not only with the United States Gov
ernment, whose supremacy is duly and fully
recognized, but also with all the world and
the crest of mankind;" and it is unjust, not
only to our section, but to our national repu-
tation, to attempt to make the impression that
allegiance of the South to the general govern
ment can be maintained only at the point of
the bayonet.

THE TAX PENALTY.

The Governor has approved the act recent
ly passed by the Legislature, providing tor an
extension of time in which taxes may be paid,
without incurring the 20 per cent. penalty
provided by law. The act makes it compul'
sorry on the comptroller:general and the gov
ernor to extend the time, so as to conform, as
nearly as possible, with the old statute on the
subject, which givesabout sixty days from the
time the books are opened. The books were
opened in this county on the first of January,
which will cause the time to expire about the
first of March. We are informed by the
Treasurer, that near eight hundred persons in
this county have not yet paid their taxes. =

THE MILITARY IN THE SOUTH.

In the recent testimony of Gen. Mcdowell,
commander of the military department Of the
South, before the military committee of the
House of Representatives, with reference to
the proposed reduction of the army, that off,
Ger said it would be unwise, at present, to
make any reduction. AS a reason for so
thinking, he said: "There is still much op-
position in the South against the general gov
ernment, and it would be difficult for the civil
authority to execute the laws in some portions
of the South, if not for the presence Of the
military" This is rather broad assertion,
and one which the General should have been
more particular to qualify with specifications.
So far as the presence of the military in this
State is concerned, it is not matter of any
concern to the people; nor is the presence of
the troops regarded by our people as inimical
or menacing. BUTT cannot be urged, at this
day, with any show of foundation, that our
people are hostile to the general government,
or that there is the least manifestation of a
disposition on their part to render necessary,
armed Intervention for the purpose of pre-
serving order. A disposition for peace and
quiet pervades this State, and, we think, the
entire South. The two races are harmonious
ir all their transactions, and the blacks are
not disturbed in the full enjoyment of all the
privileges and franchises accorded to them by
statute. They preach and pray, they sing and
dance, they marry and are given in marriage,
they sit in the jury box, their voice is heard
on the hustings, in the forum and in the legs-
lative halls; they constitute our militia, and, as
free and independent citizens, they work when
they choose to do so, in none of which rights

In the House, the day was devoted to the
consideration of private bills.
In the Senate, Oh the 9th. in discussing the

nue. taxes on whisky and tobacco, and to col
lect an equivalent amount of income by means
of increased duties on imported goods. The
bill was referred to the committee on ways
and means.
