Beaufort S C. ?? The Legislature and The Taxes. There is a great similarity between death : and taxes in that they are both certain to j t onic and both generally find us unprepared. 1 No one 'ikes to pay taxes, but the reluctance to pay"has spread to Columbia, where tlmv J arc reluctant to levy the m it appears. Now it is useless to continue the old system, which l:as brought us to ruin, spending without getting. Our expenses must be paid, our ' interest must be met, our scho ?ls mii-t not be closed. Therefore we say to tli ? assembly, vote a sufficie nt t::x to meet these out goes, i be more careful in your own logi.dative ex- i penves, cut ofi'13?e crowd of'idlers who infest I the coridors of the State House, and return to your constituents and report, \ ou wih not be condemned for doing your duty.

The formidable list of delinquent taxpayers, puhi sh'd in the Republican 'ast ; week, furnishes evidence of a mcessity for a more stringent law for their collection. No estimate upon which to base a tax levy h'-1 made sife'y without taking into account the lar^e number of those who habitually neybct'<> p ty at all. lf?ll I were obliged t > pay t lie l?-vy could be reduced twenty-live per cent.

Already are politicians beginning to calculate the chances. Here in South Carolina, where we are secure in a rousiug majoiity for Grant, we rest secure in i "Ur faith in the succt S3 of our candidate. The terrible (L&reuce to us between a nati nal victory or defeat should lead us, too, to consider whether our confidence rests upon a secure basis. A perusal of the fallowing table will, we think, satisry 'houghtful and intelligent readers that the fi ht may be closer than any since the Republican party came into power. We think every State indicated as Republican will give a majority for the administration candidate, and that every >tate indicated as Democratic will give a majority tor the auti-ad ministration candidate. We give the following brief reasons why we have indicated the States named as doubtful : California gave Grant hut 514 majority in 18(38 In 18G9 it was Democratic by ?000 majority. In 1870 it was D< mocra ic by 675 majority ; and in 1871 by reason of peculiarly popular Ri pu: lican candidates it became Republican by 5069 majority Connecticut has been a doubtful S'ate since 1S00. New York by an outburst of popular indignation at the Tammany iniquities elected a R^pub be in State tie ket and did so by the aid of *20 0: 0 Democratic votes ; but the Repub can party i s divided by factions aud the f?ud is too biiter for any compromise. IVnusylvania is the least doubt'ul of all and will probably give an administration majority New Jersey is alwa)s inclined toward Democracy, and, although Repub tican in the legislature, last y?dr she gave Paiker. D<a ocrat, 5 00 majority for governor. Indiana is always close, requiring the hardest wotk from the Republicans. New Hampshire has recently shown a disposition to return to the Demnoratic fold, but can be carried by bard work for Grant. Florida is just jn-w iu trouble with her Republican officials and is very <ioubtfu>. Louisiana is iu a like c-'Udition, the tight between the Casey aud Wariuouih factions giviug the Demo* ciats the advantage. TABLE OF T ROB ABILITIES. Certain fur Grant. Certain against him.

March On Friday last the House passed to it lird reading, what is called the "origins Impropriation bill." This bill does not pre ide for the payment of interest on th nblie debt, and levies an eight mill tax fo ic State and three for countLa. Thi ;tion is not likely to stand. A determine! [f??rt will be made and will be successful t ish through the bill legalizing the bon sues and providing for the payment c itcrest. This will require a fifteen mill ta >r the State. The Governor sent in on Thursday a vet f the Blue Kidge bill. The objections r le Gov- rnor to the provisions of this at ;em to be self evident. He has stron oubts of the constitutionality of the bills r redit authorized to be issued ; he condemn lie increased taxes necessary to pay a liabil ,* not due for twenty years ; ami urges tha istice to other creditors demands that thes onds shall not be made a preferred debi le also calls attention to the extravagant f the legislative expenses and the rydispoS: on to levy taxes sufficient to carry on th overnmcnt. All these well taken points were lost upo lie general assembly. The bill was passe ver the veto by L'2 to ?> in the Senate an y 1<>2 to IN in the House. The memorial of Lucy Stone and ofln trong inin led women in favor of worn a uffrage was referred to a joint special com littee. Senator Whittemore appeared a hiunpion for the oppressed females.

They could not get Vmajori y ' of the convention to approve such a cour e as there was considerable opposition to '. Grant manifested. So they managed to got ' a majority of Grant men on the Committee on resolutions and platform, and the in true 1 tions came in at the last of the convention? tacked on to the tail of the platform.

There have been very t great nurubeis to b*arall these gentlemen. j but on Tuesday to hear Mr. huiz the!

Mr. Shurz ! commenced precisely at one, his lirst seii>r j tence causing perfect silence. It if not I nectssary to give tveu a syunpjds of the apetch, as it is before the country eutirc. s 1 It was certainly a gnat oration, subtle. t passionate, sometimes brilliantly eloquent, almost perfect in tone and gesture. l\ople ^ I were captivated, hut not ronvinctd. He adduced very little new evidence on the , subnet, and eveu that was open to a difC i - ' - - _ i> I'erent interpretation. as mni mu v showed clearly iu his immediate reply. * Mr. Morton pioved conclusively n a very e few moments, that if theie was I lie slightest ground for euspiciou that our ntuuai1 i ity law?or the law governing ilie sale of ie aims, had bieu violated the wlmle Senate :e [ were as ready to investigate the matter, ! and as ready to vote for the resolution, as d Mr. Sumner or Mr. Shurz. It was the ie preamble with its unpatriotic, dishonoring inuendoes, and unjust, unfounded insinuations, which aroused the indignation of 4 ' the other Republican Senators, and called forth their eloquent vindication of our honest President and his administration. Mr. Shurz himself did not dare in his last speech, utier a word implicating the Pres- - J j ident or his secretary of war, because be i could not find a peg on which to hang a i suspicion or an inuendo. The case seems i now to be brought down to the Chief of 1 Ordnance, against whom a "job" is charg- ^ ed. If it is proved against him, let him be brought to justice, or if innocent, let him be cleared, and the whole administration no longer charged with the irregularities of its suboriioate olhcials. Even the Democratic papers stigmatize Mr. Shurz's speech and Sumner's preamble, as unpatriotic. The qu> stion is asked too, why did these Senators not call up tbis mallet two years ago, when it was Irtsh iu their rniuds? What prevented? They cannot give a satisfactory reply, aud there stems to be none, but that now they hale General Grant aud are determined in their efforts for his overthrow. Thrs will prove, from present appearances, an im- J possibility. The Senate was also densely ? packed yesterday to hear Sena or Morion, who iu reply, delivered one of the most convincing, thoroughly patriotic speeches, which has been heard for some time, recalling the stii ring memoriel ut the war, aud with great force aud earnestness reviewing the ben. ficent principles aud aenem incuts of ihe Republican party. From the "lime that tiled men's souls,iy *4 when Lincoln was elected and weut to Washington at the risk of assassination, and the nation stood aghast at ihe grim spectacle of war? frotn that hour until tho pi est ui one, the career of the party seem d to siand out in letters ot light. \\ ill those halloaed memorus be forgotten? Not by ibe 1st of June, most certainly. * That thrie have beeu abuses and errors, no one will dvuy. But all earthly institutions are humau and liable to error, and wnat other paity will be entirety immacu.ate? As for any third party, it cannot, exist alone in ibis country at the present time, who the memories of the rebelliou are so distinct, North and S utb. One hi ay lie formed, but as Morton said, "it will have to gravitate towards one party or ibe other, and at length become absurd.'' Senators : umuer, Trumbull and Shurz, caiinot and wiil not affiliate with ibe Democrats. Let theui then keep heir personal animosities in the back ground, and in June unite with the R. publicans to k ep Democrats and rebels out of power, and'when the Republicans a.a'ti are v ctoiious, they will find that there are other Senators as well as thems Ives who are hi xmusto purify the pirty. onl inau-uiate all reform measures needed in the politics of the d*y? reforms . 2 which are needed in the present and will '?? in ihe future, till the dawn ot the inoru Hi? ?>t the inilleuiuui when "a nation'a ??llir?-i> shall be righteousness, aud its tx(colors, peace."
