Ig^fevtor the paymentj ~r 4-U.tlint tnvos annually taken and they left pppr:' it was this which was (icpopuhitnfw the older States and would eventually, if continued, end in bankruptcy and ruin. His excellency Governor Chamberlain had on several occasions urged upon this legislature the necessity of keeping the appropriations within the amounts which could be collected, but this body had already appropriated ?170,000 more than would be realized by the collection of taxes ; and as thj people could not possibly .;A1< for tlinn nmi' puy il l(Cil> 1V1 Wl.\ uiuu ....v, imposed, the reduction ot salaries and the general expenses of our State government became an absolute necessity. He hoped therefore, that the legislature would not 6trike out the enacting clause ot this important bill, but would begin by its passage the fulfillment of their pledges for retrenchment and reform ; that they would proclaim by their votes upon this measure that they were in spirit with his excellency the governor, and, like him, would not be satisfied with those ; yaguc and verbal expressions of economy which public men were ever ready to make in regard to public expenditures, but only with that earnest, inexorable economy which proclaims its existence by accomplished facts." "Upon the conclusion of-these remarks, the motion was withdrawn, and the measure came up before the house on its second reading. ThisJPSL^0!- Livingston's maiden sffeech tn the house and attracted universal attention and commendation." We have not seen a copy of the bill but according to the statement f the F/'<j)iixy whilst it is good as far i'S it goes, in some particulars it does not <;o far enough?that it does not reduce the number of otficers. or tlip ihivs of the Legislative scs sion?tliiit by fixing the number ot days at forty, and giving a libera! Compensation from ?(! to S10 per day. fli^re would be a saving of $200 oil each member, or an aggre. gate of ?30,00, while ampfe time would be allowed for the Legislative session. Our sessions are entirely too long, and independent of their necessary effect in thus increasing the burden of taxation, they give a wide field for the exercise of fraud and corruption. The work of reform should commence here, and tiie people would then feel assured that the Legislators were hi vuiuvai. Not so in South Carolina. The Xew Orleans correspondent of the New York Times says that a large proportion of the property of that city pays no taxes. The poor are forced to pay very promptly, but the rich, whose annua] taxes amount to from $1,000 tc ?5,000, find means to bribe the^corrupt officials, and thus go s?)ttfree, - - - *? j *" '" d Besides a large poi'tjon of the" city property is owned .fry nojjfljresidt^ts. who have no from whom the^'qj^^iu^'^e^o^looted, and thus. year after year, rents are regularly paid* tb Secret agents the property pays no taxes, The rich do not always escape, how. ever, and the ease is * rotated of a ,is? wealthy millionaire Lacroix, wl^ pwtfiiuicioiisly refused to pay his taxes ffntil they reached the hu^ sum of ?80,000, and a portion oM * ' property v/ss sold to pay the -SOlfl We manage matters better J| this State aud, whatever the complaint of high taxes', * it i (3 ^ W I I VV/ IUV4 y 14 11 VI I u'? burdens arc not increased by improper indulgence ' &> ' defaulters.

THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL j The Augusta Chronic!0 and Sentinel igives some well-timed advice to the j Southern people, in view of the probable passage of the Civil Rights Bill, 1 and counsels, as the dictate of true wisdom, a policy of forbearance as the | I only one which ca'i advance the in! I 1 tercsts of the Conservative party and jtho good of tho whole South. The i very object of the bill is to goad the i people of the South to the commission | of acts of violence, and we can best I defeat the schemes of our enemies by j calmly awaiting the course of events, land the change of rulers which must ; be brought about if the Southern peoiple will only act with becoming moderation. The bill has been shorn of jsomo of its most offensive features, in striking out the cemetery and public school clauses, but it is distasteful enough as it is, and the Chronicle and Suntinet consoles its readers with the {suggestion that whilst there is every | reason to believe that should tho bill - i - ?1...1 . i. _ pUS"? II Will KOOI1 ut' rcpuuivu, in kiic i meantime its provisions may be evaded , without ary infringement of the law. It Pays: Again, there iH a very reasonable hope that the act will not remain j longer than eight or ,ten months on i the statute book. It is mainly the worjj of men who have been repudiated by their constituents. The hearts) i of the Northern people are not in this J insane measure. The House of Repre!sentatives which is able and willing j to repeal it is ^jymuiy elected. The Semite -vrrfPTack a conservative inajoriity by less than half dozen. If the peace of the country is maintained in I meanwhile, the anti-Iiadical sentiment I will grow, and the accessary recruits from the .Republican side of the.Senlate will bo secured?and a year hence the Civil Rights bill may live only as j a memory of an abortive effort 'o j kindle strife. li Let us,'' then, by all | j that is patriptic and wise and heroic, j have peace.
