,L Taxation in 01iio; and South Carolina
d,
isjg
Wo aro indebted to Sir. J. Hollins o
lictul, among other papers, for a copy
lir of the Chicago llepublicun which eonsi
tains an interesting article upon taxaoi
lion in Ohio. From this it appears
m. that the amount raised in Ohio by
li- taxation in 18(J9 was: For State parol
.pose*. $4.045.476.58; for County purje
J poses, $(i;272.o4.">.50; ibr township lc
vies, ?7,108,000.73. equal to an aggrcri
gate of $17,420,081. <u- at the rule oi
i*t 1.50 per cent., on ?1.000,000,000, the
^'.'assessed value of tho property of the
i State. In the cities, llio city tax
lie . 1
}s amounts to 3 per cent., in some cases?.
s:J In.this view*, some moy suppose
"- that we in South Carolina, have no
icreat reason to complain of onei'ous
jn taxation. But 2 of one per cent.,
[I, means j.50 and 2, percent.: and more
ir- when property is arbitrarily assessed
v* with us, at double and treble its marlC"
kct value. The weight of taxation
<0 besides is tbe more heavy that it falls

n???l replied with graceful but telling
efleet on the rarity of Mr. lJinghain's
Christian charity in interposing tho
tenets of religions belief against u
great government establishing a diplomatic
relation. It was of the same i
kind of proscription that had burned !
Catholic convents and hung witches
in Massachusetts. At this the whole I
Massachusetts delegation bristled up, [
but lliugham got the floor with an-!;
other burst of rhetoric in defence of
the liberality'of his Christian charity.!
Covode then had a spurt, and Dawes
made a few remarks, alter which Mr.
15rooks again got the floor, and hurled
back with great vehemence the
charge that bo had been a Know
Nothing. It was so* old a story, and
had been'denied by himself so often,
that he declared that Dawes knew it
was an untruth mul L-nou- il.-it
lie repealed it he was uttering an unIrutli.
Jin was willing to use a stronger
word than that wore it parliamentary.
]>y this time, tho House wrs in an
uproar. Ingersoll, of Illinois, who
was iu tho chair, let tho gavel fall till!
it resounded likn a trijr-hanimer. Order
was restored. and,-after a few moments'
calm, one of the delegation of
i Puritans- (as .M r. Cox callcs ilassechu*
jsachusetls members.) got up, in the j
1 person.of lToar, brother of the At-I
torney (ieneral, to defend his State
from the witeh hanging and conventburning
charges. To do this, he
i charged that the Democrats incited
the riots, hung negroes- and burned
colored orphan asylums iu New York.
; No sooner had. lie said this than the
j whole J louse was an its feet. From'
i tho Democratic-side there were a doss-l
I en members addressing tho Chair,
' while the whole Ueptibliean side was
yelling "order! order!" The l>emojcrats
rejoined by shouting across the
iaisles "sit down !" "ait down!" "sit

every member got into his seat. .
! Twenty members bad insisted that
! no debate should go on until -Mr.

, under the rules and read at the clerk's

is very pungent, but not par!

I shout of laughter at this as well as at j
:the warm condition of the chairman,
whoso iat ftico was covered with'perUpiration
from the hard work lie had
