Special Tax.

The Legislature has refused to pass bill
authorizing the County Commissioners to levy
q special tax to pay the past duo indebtedness
of the county. This We regard unwise, as
the prompt payment of county indebtedness
would secure low bidding for all county
work and save more than the little hardship
resulting from an extra tax. If every credi
tor Of the county knew his claims would be
promptly met, and in case Of deficiency,
would bs met by special tax tho noxt yeat,
The oonld calculate at what price he could
build bridge or do other work. When,
however, experience and observation show
that a claim may be postponed for years.
men in undertaking for tho county bid with
THAT uncertainty. Besides, is it right that an
thenest creditor Of the county should be post
>poned for years, perhaps ruined by failing to
three, two and one year old and should be paid.
We think our taxpayers feel this way and
would willingly pay our past indebtedness.
1t may be said tho people are poor and
cannot pay moro than the annual tax. We
>admit cur people are poor, but they are honest
.and we think would hardly feel an extra tax
of one min. Our neighbors of Pickens have
paid over twenty mills tax, and last year paid
about nineteen mills and cannot we. to meet
our honest debt, pay eleven millsf Taxation
is o necessary evil for the purposes of govern
ment and should be kept at as low figure as
possible. While this is true. more is lost than
gained by failing to make it equal to the ne
cessary expenses of government, or by refus-
ing to meet all deficiencies. The money
levied for county purposes is expended in the
county and among our own people, and goes
Immediately into circulation amoug US. In
this way tho people do not feel the exhaus-
tion from suoh taxation, which results from
taxation for State purposes, whore the money
is carried out of tho county and expended
elsewhere. We think the bill should have
passed and that the rubbish of our past in
debtedness should have been removed. With
clear record we might hope the usual tax in
+ the future would keep us clear Of debt and
give our county good credit

The Female College,

The Legislature has refused to pass the bill
to exempt the buildings Of this institution
from taxation. We think the bill should have
passed. IL - true the uu,idings are private
property, but they are devoted to public pur-
poses, and purposes Of the highest character
the education Of tho daughters of tho county
rand State.
Education is the life Of tho country. It is
the spirit of the people, and female education
is not less, perhaps more important, than tho
education Of men. Women arc tho formers
and moulders Of the youthful mind. Men
are good or bad, learned or unlcarned, in a
great degree, according to tho teachings Of
the mother. AT tho freside noble aspirations
are implanted in the youth of the country.
From the lips and heart of tie mother that
moral instruction is received which is essen
tial to true greatness. In fact, no man can
overestimate tho value Of the great work n
which this institution is engaged. Mon and
women labor in different spheres, but the
worth of men in their sphere depends much
on the capacity with which women perform
the duties OF their sphere. The one is select
out impressive on tho young mind, the other
minges with tho hustle and turmoil of the
world. The work in which Or. Smeltzer is
engaged is not only noble one, but it is of
tho highest public impo rtance. He has inn
ppriled oil 10 this undertaking The natitu-
tloD is in its infancy, struggling to rise and
spread its influence wider and wider, and it
should be encouraged. The little tax collec-
ted from it might we'll be omitted and the
institution aided by public aoknowledg.
ment Of its high public purposes.

aTaxes..

We SEQ from the correspondence Of the
Greenville Ne,os that our taxes next year
are likely to be lower than. at any period
since the war. The Legislature has released
enough Of the fund accumulated to pas
interest on the public debt, which had been
held awaiting tho decision Of tho court on
the questioned bonds, to pay tho interest
on the valid debt Of tho State. It will not
therefore be necessary to levy any tax to
pay the in terest 90 tho public debt. The
correspondent fixes the tax as follows: For
State purposes, two and half mills; for
pHblio schools, two mills; for county pur.
poses, three mills, making q total of soven
and half mills. If our information bo
correct this will be pleasing news to all
our readers. We need breathing spoil
these hard times, that our people may get
out Of debt. Low taxes will help US very
much 10 this respect.
COLUMBIA. December 19.-The Court of
Claims, popularly known as the "Bond Court
consisting of threo Circuit Judges, announced
its decision To-day upon questions submitted
to it in relation to portion Of the South Car
olina consolidated bonds, coupons and certif.
catoe Of stock issued under tho not Of 1873,
known as the Consolidation Aot. The opin-
ion holds that tho vouchers upon which said
consolidated bonds and stocks wore issued, as
specified in tho conclusions reached by tho
Court, amounting to about 81 100000 of said
bonds and etocks, were not issued in accor-
dance with law and authorized to be oonsolic
dated under the not of 1873. and that tho
consolidated bonds and stocks exchanged for
said Vouchers so far as they rest thereon for
thoir validity, are not q binding obligation
upon the State of South Carolina.
Tho opinionis pronounced by Judge Thom-
son, Judge Aldrich concurrng.
Judge Hudson delivered dissenting opin,
ion holding that every consolidated bond
Issued under the act Of December %, 1873.
known rs the Consolidation Act, is n valid
obligation of tho State Of South Carolina.
The opinions cover somo fifty or sixty pnges
OF foolscap, closely written. The case will

SAN Francisco has one peculiar street
railroad. 1t is above mile and half
long, and runs in California street over
steep Mob Hill, place of handsome
residences. The cost of building it was
$4,000, and it has never paid a divi-
dend, but the owners do not mind that,
being among the wealtiest men on the
Pacific coast. The stranger is astonish-
ed to see the cars moving without any
apparent motive power. Between the
tracks is continuous slit, under which
moves wire cable. An attachment OF
each car, operated by lever, grips or
lets go this cable as required, and the
cable is moved by a powerful engine I'M
derneaih the street. The plan works
well but is very costly.
