The Abbeville Senatorial Election.
The mallei* lias linally been settled
jii the Senate by declaring tho Abl>e
Yillo Senatorial election null aud void,
by a. volo of J 8 to G. Tlio subject
carac up on the report of the Committee
on Privilogcs and iiloclious, (sign ed
by Hoyt, Powers and llosc,) on th<j
report of the county cauvassors foi
Abbeville Count}*, in an election whicli
was hold on 25th of May, 1S(J0, tc
choose a senator for the said county
and recommending that as L. L. (Julfin
would have a'clear majority of for
ty-eight, if the Calhonn Mills precinct
where the votes was illegal, be llirowi:
out, he should be admitted to a seat it:
the Senate; and excited a warm discussion.
lloyt said that he had takon the
beet legal advice, in regard to the pro
prietj- and legality of the recommendation.
Leslie doubted his law, and
called upon Corbin to expound it.
Corbin was of the opinion that nci'her
Colonel Cothran nor CJuftin was entitled
to the seat; that there was no law
which would warrant the Senate in
acting upon tho recommendation o'
the committee, lie" then offered a
resolution providing that tho Abbeville
election be declared null and void, and
that neither Colonel Cothran nor Uufiin
bo entitled to a seat.
To quote from tho report of the
Charleston "Maxwell- commencoed
to speak in support of Corbin
:a resolution, and recommended a
new election. He was interrupted by
lToyt, who desired to know if he knew
. how many lives had hecn'-Bacrificcd at
tho lust election, and how many more
would bo sacrificed if another wore

iiciuj to which Jiaxwcll replied that
lio hud fcaid, when tlio question was up
before, that if it cost ?200,00U it should
be held, as a precedent must be estab
lished which would redound to the
honor of the State. There must bo no
more lives lost. Wo must let the people
of the State know that they will
bo protected in tho expression of their
opinions. If the people daro to at'
tempt anothor act like that at Abbe vi-lc,
it will not stop with tho sacrifice
of one or two lives. To prevent sucl

| Tnr State Taxes.?Tho State tax
! for; thej-ear 1S69?1S70, is to be at the
I rato of onr-hulf of one per cent,
against three-fourths of one per cent
last year. The taxable property of
the State is estimated, at $16-4,000,000,
I upon which a tax of one-half of one
I per cent, will amount to $S20,000.
'The Comptroller estimates tho expenditures
of the year at $036,293. but as
the interest of the debt is to be paid
in gold, the premium upon which at
120 per c^ht. (the l'rtterent being $338.it?93,)
will be $67,738, and there is also
a deficit in the estimate of Legislative
expenses of about $60,000, tho
Charleston News calculates that, there
' will bo a deficiency lii tho income of
the year of uo lees than $264,(>00 at

Wliy Emigrants Should Go South.
A friend has handed us a Copy of
tlio Brooklyn (New York) Utuou
from which, wo copy tho following
well-timed remark* on tho subject of
Southern emigration.
Public sontimeut at (he South has
experienced u change on tho Kuhji-ot
of diveiaitlod labor that is destined to
render that section the most prosierouh
of any portion of our country.

profits on manufactured products and
transportation, rather than encourage
tho artisan at home. All their energies
with slavo labor wcro directed to
the cultivation of thoso rich products
of cotton, rice, and sugar, for which
their section enjoys a monopoly.
From tho recent speech of General
Wade Hampton, nt tho Georgia State
Fair, n? well as from every representative
of publo opinion, wo perceive
that the people see alive to their true
intoresta, that of encouraging not only
the cultivation of their old staples,
hut of evory other product fbr which
their soil and climate is peculiarly
adapted livery portion of tho South
produces corn equal to the West, and
lsome sections grow the host wheat In
j this country. There is no section so
(rich in (ho various natural advantages
as tho Sent hern States, Almost
everything that is grown in the
Northern and Western States flourishes
there, and hosides their soil and
! climate, ther are rii;h in
! ber?4.ho hard pine, every variety ot
I oak, ash, poplar, cypres?, and other
I wood*, nre abundant. And along the
I Alloghanies, from Virginia to Alula:
buum, in probably the riehct-t section ol
the world For the variety of its minerals
; eoal, copper, zinc, marble and
lime, have been.developed in a rude?wlave
labor?way for many, years.
Skilled labor, science, and capital nr?
now directing their attention to this*
region. But porhaps the greatest advantage
tli,e South possesses over overy
other soetion of our vast eotinfrv is
- J
its imtnen?o water power, scattered almost
everywhere throughout tho hillj'
sections of the interior, surrounded
with tlje raw material for working into
manufactured products, and contiguous
by rail and river to tho market*
of the world, not requiring throe bu?hols
of corn to scud one bushel to tnuric
ot.
True there aro localities along the
low flatlands of tho coast, near swamp
ttnd sluggish water courses that art
sickly, hut tho wholo interior and hilly
sections are more free from local
diseases and epidemies than tho West
or North. In proportion to the population
moro old persons can be found
throughout tho South than in anyjoth
er section.
