The enormous expenditures of the present State Government com pared: with the wise economy ot ante bellum days, can he made ap parent by a simple statement of figures. Before the war, and even as late as 1807, the current expenses of the State Government did not exceed ?400,000, yet the exhibit ot the last fiscal year, as taken from the Treasurer's books, shows that over 1,000,000 have been received, and that there is still a deficiency oi more than ?1,250,000. Iu other " .-words,;the cost of the State Gov ernment for the fiscal year ending 31st October 1872, is ?2,850,000. The largest item in the expendi tures is the charge for Legislative ovncnses. Before the war, the cost ? * of a Legislative session was $40, 000, yet, during the last year there -. have been paid out under this head $541,267, and we are informed by the Governor's message, that the Outstanding pay certificates amount to ?1320,000. The graud total then, ie ?8G1,267, exclusive of the charges for current and permanent print in sr. Even according to the liberal estimate of ?600, for the pay and mileage of each member, the cost ,.of a session should not have ex ceeded ?93,600, and the difference between this sum and that above ~given, it would be difficult to ac cdiiut for legitimately. It is proposed to raise for the expenses of-the "present- fiscal year, +Vin /lofii-onneoa of the last, the uuv ? ^ . sum of $2,250,000, which will re : qnife a tax of fifteen mills on the 'dollar, estimating the vain* of the property of the State at ?150,000, 000, But, according to the Comp troller-General's report, as urged ??.by our friend of the Carolinian, the ' 'estimated value of this property is "'$184,000,000, and trie proposed tax ~ woul$ raise five hundred thousand dollars more than scemsto be designed i by tbe General Assembly. Some of oar Georgia exchanges * are instituting a comparison be tween the financial condition of the two States, very much to the advan tage of their own .State. They es timate the co?t of the State Gov ernment to the white Georgians last year at $2.50 per head, and to the white Carolinians, about 88.35, v and look upon our condition as somewhat desperate. The only - hope for us is in- a reduction of the ov???rwlifnrf>ti nrwl in this all nroD erty-h'olders, be they Democrats or .Republicans, are equally interested. The question is not oue of party, but of existence itself, of solvency or bankruptcy, ot life or death. , - . - Oi-pciTTnNrs van the Debating Society?Which is the best conn try newspaper in the State? and, Which are the handsomest men in Abbeville ? If the Society lias any trouble in deciding, we would beg leave to suggest that they call in the Editor of the Daily South Caro 'Vnian. Perhaps a determination of the last might aid in settling the first.' Beauty is a matter of taste, perhaps editing a newspaper may.be. Who knows? !N". B. Perhaps there is still an other question which might be profitably discussed : Which is the best mode of getting a complimen tary notice from the Carolinian?to get the editor to pen the notice, or to write it oneself? - f?1" During a recent visit to Co lumbia the Junior had the pleas ure of meeting Mr. Gilbert, the genial and talented editor of the Sumter Watchnvm, and had a pleas ,:&Ht interchange with him of the courtesies of the. brotherhood. Td i ? i i m i Where is the Census Taker? Mr. T. D. Young, of Lowndesviile, furnishes us tho following interesting items with regard to what occurred in his experience.

A New Fence Law.?A bill lnf l been introduced in the IIou.se by Mr I Joseph Crews of Laurens, which pro jvides lor a complete alteration of oui j present fence law?making it the du : ty of the farmer to fence up his stock and cattle, and not to fence out hi: own and his neighbors. Tho censm of 1S50 shows that tho cost of the fenoinsr then existing iu this Stat< amounted to $10,000,000, and four j fifths of this sum would be saved b} a law requiring every man to fenet i up his stock.
