JPBSSLDENT'S MESSAQJE.
The Antrnal Messngo of President
Grant when coin paved with the vo.
fciminous Messages of sonic of his predecessors,
is a brief document. It
presents a concise reviow of tho vaa-ied
domestic interests and foreign
relations whieh form tho subjects of
congressional legislation, nnd sets
forth its conclusions distinctly and
decidecWy. I-t is moderate in tone,
AAiiinnrat.irn i ti T\nlinv rn/1 i 11 n*n

a ekort synopsis of its leading pouitions:
Tho President congratulates the
county upon tho enjoyment, of peacn
and tho-blessings of" freedom, wilLga
territory capabte of supporting a population
of BQfr.OOO-.OOQ, afid r^ch in all
tho elements of mineral and agricultural
wealth-*irpon abundant harVMt*j
and an overflowing revenue.
On the swbjoct of reconstruction, he
pnyB: "Seveu States which passed ordinances
of secession have been fully
restored to their places in tho Union ;
tho eighth, Georgia, held an election
at which she ratifh-d her constitution,
republican in forna, elected a Governor,

os the bopo that the recent elqctiops
in Mississippi and Texas will bo iblTowe4
by much legislative nctiou, as.
Will elope the work of restoration* by
tho admission of thpeo Stages. , < .
Ho recommend such legislation as
will secRjre a gradual return to specie

tp fluctuations in the currency. The
method he afcya to seoure tli6 former
of these results ^r? as numerous as
speculators on pplUieal eoonomy. . To
secure the latter he pees but one way,
and that is to authorize tho treasury
to redeem its own paper at a fixed
price, wheufiyfiC.oPl'Cfitinted, aud to

State Auditor's Rktort.?The following
is a synopsis from the report
of Mr Rmbon Tomlinson : _
Toe total amount reeeivod on oc- |
count of taxes for fiscal year 1869, t( J
October 31,, I8G9, inclusive, is $1,028.
>90.98. Of this amount, according t?
ho returns received up to the writing
' of this report, $58,123 was paid on au
count of Poll Tax, and 8982,600.08 for
Jmrposes of State Government. Tho n
l?o1L Taxes of Orangeburg, liiehl^nd ^
und Charleston not yet l'ully collect- &
cd. L
After reviewing the former tax laws tt
of tho State, the Auditor says: The ?>
jreal property of the State is estimat- e
I cd at $7(3.125,021, n in At.d the peri.Konal
at 838, 82S, 410, flaking u to,11al
of' $I14,95!1,'1G7. "But," hays the
J Auditor, "it is genera! admmittod, 1 ^
1 believe, oveu by those most opposed
' to the present Government, that the ^
. irottl estate and personal property of
i j the State would be below their true
I viiluo at $200,000,000."
i "The Stato Board of Equalization
; j was called together and found the
property returns as jibove staled, t.
. jTho duty imposed upon the Board by "
r! the law in as clear and explicit as ?
' j any other duty under it. That duty j 8
r J was to raise the real property of thc.s<
j several counties to what they believed jC
' j to be its triie vahio. This they ?lid. | ^
1 II has been asserted that this increase |
t was made in order to raise the amount j
of revenue needed by the State, b
Such is not the case. The revenue j r?
" could havo been raised as readily by
increasing tho per centum of taxa.
tion; and the clamor which would
have ensued in that event would havo j ~
> ceii no groater. The Stato Board I '
was aware that this increase wnild;
boar heavily upon some individuals,!
::nd hence felt the responsibility rest- \
ingnponthem; but they were also ?
aware that if no increase was made in
tne ualuation, an increase would have
to be made in the rate, and this would
not only he oppressive upon individuals,
but upon counties, as compared;^
with other counties. It has been as-j
sorted that this board is a monstrous'
anomaly, and that it ought not to bo
permitted to exist. Similar Boards
exist in all tho States, where this s) storn
nf tflwitlftn ** * !*#*
operation n.io found to ho admirable
incentives toward securing l'uir and )
equal assessment in tlie various lo,,ol,J
communities. The people in the different
counties of this State will see
see to it in any future assessment of
their real property that, very little
work shall he left for the State Board v
of Equalization."
