The Tax Bill.
The Bill providing for the assessment and
taxation of property has r?aohod ui too lato
for full notieo. It is quito Mosaic in its char
acter, containing sixty-seven pages of printed
matter, with one hundred and forty-eight sec- j
-tions. By it a iax is imposed on all real and
personal proparty; tho former including not
only laud, city, town and village lots, but all
structures and other things so nnnoxed and
attached morato, that would pass by a con
veyance of the land ox lot; the latter includes
all thitig3 other than real ostato which have
any prouuiary value, aud moneys, credits, in
vestments in bonds, stocks, joint stock com
partes, or otherwise. Tho term money is
held to moan and includo gold, silver, and
olhor ooin, bank bills, and other bills or notos,
authorized to be oircuiatcd ns monoy. Par
ties who fcol indisposed to pay these taxes are
most respectfully referred to the policy ve
oommondod by tho " Charleston Mercury "
and " Columbia Phoenix*," and at the same
.v*'oic make tho following questions the subject
-of serious reflection : For what purposes are
>..-theso tuxes imposed? Who alone is to bear
' tho burden of this taxation in the Stato??
"Whether those who bear theso burdens havo
any representation, or any voioo whatovor iu
.fcho govornmout of the Stato, or in tho prepa
ration of this tax bill ? If not, who havo ?
Thoiv identity with the Stilo, and thoir social,
political and intoliootttaj statu1. White men
of the Stato and tac-paycivi, "picture it,
think of it." Ponder well in your minds and
ict us all act together.

This body, now .sitting in Jannoy's Hull,
uve met with somo difficulties, w.hioh have
lomowhat impeded tho progress of legislation,
md perturbed tho oulra qigh?tyof Ilio legisla
ors. No money to run the machino, which
mods greasing sadly, w.ts announced, much
o ilio consternation of somo of the members.
But immediately other stops were taken?and
mother offort is made to got their pay. The
monstrous Bill preventing; discriminations be
tween persons, on account of race, color or
provtous condition bus, after a stormy debate,
passed the House. Many of tho whito Radi
cals aud negroes voting against its passage.
Among tho most conspicuous of the former,
was one if nun kr, of ? tum tor, whose remarks
wo regret our space forbids us publishing.?
He said he opposed the bill because it was
the first entering wedge towards sooial cquali- j
ty, and that ho.appealed to the colored meni- j
bora of the IXouso, ol native birth, to be care
fill how they put Ihomsclvcs iu a hostile posi
tion to their old masters in forcing themselves |
into positions that they arc unweloomo. Ho
hoped that the colored members would use
movo than ordinary discretion in legislating
at this period. Ho regretted that many of
tho white members of the body had not back
bone ouough to advocato their honest convic
tions with relation to this Bill. Ho called on
all uativo mcmbors to opposo tho Bill. If
other white, men dodjcod tho question . he :
would nr-t, and whouover this question bo

to lako sides witl Ina own color. This lias

Thoughts ou the Constitution.
Edv/?RD A. , , , the Southern 11 in
to vin , ridiculos tho Constitution of the Uni
ted States, aud makes a labored effort in a
long appendix to his History, lo prove that oil
of tho excellence and merit to be found in
that documont is to be attributed to chance,
not to any unusual foresight or wisdom iu our
Revolutionary forefathers. This may or may
not be , if we allow that it is, it exhibits an
ruo?uraging insthnoo of Providential caro.?
Tiic great distinguishing feature of our Fede
ration system, the equal representation of the
States in the Senate, he traces to tho jealous
bickerings that came near dissolving tho Con
stitutional Convention. Iu whatever way
that document originated it certainly is a re
markable instrument. Faults it certainly
possesses, as everything not directly from Cod
must have. But thos? faults aro gonovally,
yot wc may say wholly, of tho aims oniixvt"
v.i?.w?l?. au.??? .*.? or clearness, ot posi
tivonoss, and covtaiii subjects, particularly
one, likely to be of groat aim groving inter
est, wore overlooked in most surprising
manner. But tho groat principios, tho gone- j
ral framework that must undo.lie a popular
government arc clearly enunciated. No right
that ?3 ftaorcd to freeman -? absent. We aro
perfectly safe in the assertion that no polii ioni
emanation ever created more astonishment,
than it did at the time of its promulgation, or
has brought about moro astounding results in
the samo period of timo. Truc there may
have boen in the Convention some few vision
ary men?mere sophomorical spcoulatists, who
gavo themselves up to r? busty ransacking of
history for loose precedents, and who would
have fastened upon the people some fanciful
Utopia of a republic, but they were fow ill j
number and without weight of iufluoucc.? |
Most of the fra m ors were mon who had boon I
tried iu tho Gory furnace of war and had como i
forth puro gold. They were distinguished !
for common sense and business sagacity, ibi i
ivreproaohablenes > of character, and wore with
fow oxooptious men of same pretensions to !
piety.. The instrument they adopted, tiled
by the standard of tho " fruits" it has borne, I
is entitled to our enthusiast to support. The !
events of tho war have supplied some o? the j
omissions, and altogether, there Is much loss I
aliauoo for a divinimi of oOilttmoilt iu regard to !
its interpret.'lion for the future. The contest j
is not ??ow what does the Constitution mean .'
what does it require? what will it have ??

jeivod its decisivo intorprohillort by the ro- C
suit of tho war. Somo powers were unques
tionably added to Congross. Slavery was sot
tied, secession was settled. But tho right of
a Slate to rogulate her internal affairs in hor
own way, to proscribed the qualifications of
electora, $o, was not in issue. Neithor was
the question of negro suffrago. The mogio
rallying cry among tho northern masses was
tho " Union, tho constitution, tho enforce
ment of the laws." And for Union as tho
the symbol, synonym, tho sitie qua non of all
their National greatness and prosperity, many
fought, sufforod ami contributed of their
monne, who would baye ardently opposed a
war for conquest, for stripping a sovoroign
Str-le of any of its ancient rights and privi
leges, for negro i/.ing ten great States and ma
king them more Radical- dependencies. Tho
Radicals havo subverted tho theory of the
war. Remembering thai, they obtained pow
er in 1801 by accidental divisions in tho Dem
ocratic oamp, they wore afraid of losing the
flesh pot-< if the Southern Slates were allowod
to come back. Henoo they must be .subjuga
ted. They musi be placed under the vule of
negroes and ?arpot-baggors, who " liko auto
! match ohoss-playora would move the pawns at

that the South was conquorod territory, out
? of tho Union necessity must bo: " rocons/^r
! ted"-la theory that justified the Southern
j view of tho doctrino of secession Wo aro
not grumbling at the doctrine, but only at
Radical incon.sistcucy. So much misery has
attended all wilful depavturo from the teach
ings of the Constitution that we are willing to
try it awhile. All things that operate widely
and beneficently are simple. Cod in Nature
accomplishes wonders with different combina
tioy of a fow simple elements. Tho Gospol
j of t.he aun of God has been condensed by its
j founder into one jculonoo, if not one word.?
j The governmental wisdom of the world has
been enshriued in our Fuudaiuoutai Law.?
Under it wc distance all the Nations. Wc
j have strayed off, and punishment lias followed
us swift and mcroiloss. Its simplicity is uo
objection to him who considers that the wis
dom of man is at best foolishness.

Now York correspondent of the Augusta

o cottoti piantoli! :
It seems to bo pretty well settled that tho
jotton crop for 18(57-8 will be about 300,000
jale* loua than the estimates of ono year ago.
ft is who estimated now that, with a somewhat
reduced acroago, tho crop for 18G8-0 will
nevertheless, bo fully 8,400,0000 bales. I
have to caution planters against tho repetition
of tho oxporiono of last ful), when tho price
was forced down to 15 i cents in this market,
Mid tho planter deprived of a fair return for
his labor und capital. I must repeat the ad
vice which I then gave, to delay marketing
the crop as long as possible, r-ftcr tho prico
falls to 35 e^uts for Middling in this mf.rkct.
All that can be got to market while wo are
above that figuro will be so much clear gain
of strength for strugglo in supporting the
prico after wo fal! below 25 cents in this mar
ket, and let planten see to it that they arc not
again jockeyed.
Wcp.:c going to luWO cheaper food. Not
so cheap ss in ''old timori," to be sure, but
much choapor than in the past two or three
yean. Thi'i will help the marketing of cot
ton goods very much. Northern labor is to
bettor employed. That iu another circum
stance in favor of cot ton. I'-gypt has returned
to grow wbe:?t ; oho will supply no cotton;
tborofovo, le? Ame.loan plantees hold *?n and
they will got their price. At the same time,
