cratic government, and by this moderate

| BY way Of reminder, We deem this q
good occasion to present our readers with
. o aynopsis Of the last tax they paid to
Chamborlain's ring government, in order
| that, by a comparison of tbeae Ggurea
: with the present Democratic tsx levy,
they may sec the difference in the point
of dollars and cents between the govern
ment We now have and the one from
which We have been delivered. The tax
passed at tho session of i875-76 for the
Hyear 1875, was as followB:
For State purposes ii milla, 90 follows
For salaries mill, for penal and chari.
! table purposes mill, for schools mills
for legislative expenses Ito Iiiiis, foI
printing ] zai!i, s5E interest g mills, foI
the Little Bonanza l mill, for the Big
Bonanza mill, for deficiencies l 9.lO
mills. Total, II mills. For County tax
Anderson County, 8 ITO mills, making
O total State and County tax of Il 7-1O
millo, or 1.5 mills more than the pres.
ent le-;.
But great as this difference is, it is still
greater If we compare it with the tax
which Chamberlain and his co.usurpers,
the members of ths Mackey House and
the Senate, which was then Republican
body, attempted to levy upon US last
year. They passed tax bill lcvying l5
; mills for State purposes, and 3 mills for
the County of Anderaon, making c levy
; Of 1e mills, oF 81 Iniiis uioTu than the
present tax levy. The present levy OF
IL mills for State purposes is not
hale what they levied for State purposes,
and the present tax bill is less upon A.n-
derson County by thirty-fve thulpand
dollars than The tax they tried t. levy.
aud 1t 10 $4,000 lesa for the Coan.y c:
Anderson than IL did actually pay under
the last year OF radicalism.
4 Now. we have written the shove to
chow our people that while there may be
further improvements to be made, that
they have already been saved enough in
/ Che single matter Of taxation to repay
| them for sustaining the present adnliria.
