The Taxes.

The action Of tho comptroller
general in giving fiftoon days I'D
ditional for tho collection of taxes
without the penalty is exceedingly
gratifying to tho thousands of i'm
pecunious taxpayers throughout
tho State. Tho alacrity with which
the people of South Carolina ro-
sponded to the call for tho ton por
cent. contribution was sufficient
evidence of their. Willingness to pay
their quota for the support of their
administration--tho first they had
enjoyed in years. So tho largo
sums now uncollected speak more
eloquently than words of the hard
times through which tho people arc
passing, and of tho impossibility of
raising money to satisfy the de-
mands of the government. Appre-
ciating this, the comptroller.gen
oral is unwilling that they shall
incur penalty for not performing
an impossibility. At the same time,
it is hardly probable that there
will be any additional extension
after this. The taxpayers should
therefore stretch every norve to
put themselves on the right side
of the treasuror's account during
the ensuing two weeks. While the
State is liberal to her ci,lxens, she
needs money and must have it.
Taxes had better be paid at once,
in order to avoid the penalty.

POST OrEIcE DErIctENc1Es.- 1T is
discovered that tho post Office
department, in tho matter
Of salaries alone, will present
to Congress deficiency Of $;2Sl,O 900
for the fiscal year, and ask for
relief. As the salaries of post,nas~
tcrs are iixod by law, it is difficult to
understand why there should be any
deficiency, but Postmaster General
Key says that Congress was fully
informed that there would be a de-
iicicncy when tho last appropria-
ton bills were up, and that it is not
the fault of the department.. Other
officers of the department say thu
the fault is with certain Democrati
members of Congress-, who wanted
to mako a great show of reductions
in the appropriation bills for cam
paign purposes, even though thoy
knew that q deficiency bill would
have to be passed before tho end of
the year. The namo Of Randall is
especially mentioned as one If the
