A great deal of complaint has been made in some quarters uf tho Stalo about Demo-' eratic extravagance, and it may bc of some, interest to comparo this extravagance with what may be termed Republican economy, using thc term in a Pickwickian sense. The present tax levy by tho Democratic party for the State, County und School fund in Anderson County is nine and une fuurth mills. The tax levied for these purposes by thc Mackey llouso at thc time ff hot) it was on its best behavior- was fifteen mills. Now take off thc county tax, three mill?, and the Constitutional School tax, 2 mills, ond we have for Stato purposes ton mills under thc Republicans for Stato pur poses. Then take thc County tax, two and a half mills, and thc Constitutional tux two mills, from tho Democratic levy and you have four and three fourth mills fur all State purposes. Then it will bo seen that tho Republicans required a tax of ten mills to run I he departments of (he State Gov eminent which the Democrats only levy fuur und three fourth mills to run. Now this is less than half the amount taken by (be Republicans, and the government is belier administered und mme protection und encouragement given to the people of thc Slate than was given by tho Republi cans. Wc have had no Com babco or Cainlioy ur Ellenton riots, and tho lives and property of our people have been niven greater protection und security. This is a grand record for ony political party to achievo in six years of administration, but under thc foregoing comparison nil of the advantages of Democracy over Republican ism do not fully uproar. Wo have shown that thc Republican Stato tax wis ten mills, while tho Dc ino? eratic State tax is only four and three louttit mills. Nuw it will bo remembered thar, it takes a tax of three and one half tn i i ls to pay thc interest on the Stato debt. Jt was largely thc creation of Republican frauds, and therefore the responsibility for its exis tence rests on the Republicans It is a charge upon the State, and must bo paid by uny party which may control the Stato. There fore it should be l iken off of both the Re publican and (he Dcmoerutio levies. This leaves six mid a half mills levied by thc Republicans to run all of the departments of thc State Government, except tho inter est on the public debt, and only one and one fourth mills levied by the Democrats to run nil of the departments of tho Stuto Government except interest on tho public debt. Then comes tho incuiitostiblo fact that thu Republicans levied and collected six nnd a half mills lo run the very depart ments of tho Siuio Government which the Democrats are now running on onu and ono fourth mills. Dring this to a money basis and we will got a belter idea of tho amount involved. Under the Republican adminis tration thc assessment was higher than il is now, and one mill then raised about 81 15,? OOO, while it only raises $120,000 now. Therefore, tho Republican levy of six and a half mills raised 89-12,000, whilo tho Democratic levy of ouo und a fourth mills only raises 8100,000. Think of it! then tho Republicans required $792,?000 a year moro in tuxes from (ho people to run the iStnto government outuido uf tho interest on thc public debt than tho Democrats did. We uro now saving by Democratic Govern-? ment over three quarters of a million dol lars every your by Dcmooratio Government. If this is extravagance, wo think thc peo ple will approve extravagance. Of course, thero nro grumblers who will try to put themselves in power by criticising Demo cracy, but let every ono bear it in mind that tho defeat of thc Democrats meaiiB a return of the Republican party to power. Those I who wish to indulge tho luxor/ of paying Buoh taxes as tho Republicans collected^ iontoad of tho taxes collected by tho Demo crats, should holp to breik up tho Demo? oratio party, but thoso who wout to retain good government should continue their al legiance to the pirty which hos mado tho roto! ms wo buvo shown. Th es o reforms by tho Democrats should certainly oauso people to hesitate a long time beforo they run off after now gods.-Anderson Intelli gencer. A Diovr Letter. In this remarkable cITusion it will bo seen (hut tho sublime and the ridiculous follow oach other io brilliant and laughable succession: MY DEAR ?MISS C.-Evory timo I think of you my heart flops up and down li'-e a ohum-dasher. Sensations of unutterable joy caper over it like young goits on u stable roof, and thrill through it like Spnnish needles through n pair of tow linen tro weera. As a gosling swimmeth with delight in a mud puddle, so swim I io a sea of glory. Visious of ecstatic rapture thicker than tho hairs on a blacking brush, and brighter thr.n thc hues of a humming bird's pinions, visit mo in my slumbers; and horno on their invisible, winga, your image stands beforo inc, aii'l I ms ell out to grasp it, lifo a pointer snapping ut a blue bottle fly. When I Grat beheld your an gelic perfections, I was bewildered, my braid whirled around like a bumble bee under a glass tumbler. iMy oyos stood upon like cellar doors in a ouuntry town, and I lifted up my cars to oitoh thc silvory accents of your voico. My ton?uo refused to wag and in silent adoration I drank in thu sweet infection of love. Siuco thc light of your face full upon my life, I sometimes feel ns if I oould lift myself up by my boob strops to thc top of tho Presby terian stccplo nnd pull thc bell ropo for singing school. Day and night you ure in my thoughts. When Aurora, blushing like a bride, rises from her saffron couch; when thc jaybird pipes its tuneful lay in tho npplo tree by tho spring house; when thc chanticleer's shrill clarion heralds thu coming morn; when tho drowsy beetle wheels his droning flight ut sultry noontide and when tho lowing cows como homo at milking time, I think of theo, and like a pieco of gum Mastic, my heart seems to stretch clear uotoss my bosom. Your foro bend is smoother than tho elbow of on oH coat. Your eyes aro glorious to behold, lo their liquid depths I seo legions of little cupids bulbing like a cohort of ants in an old army cracker. When their Gre hit mo upon my manly breast, it penetrated my whole anatomy as a loud of bird shot would go through a rotten npplo. Your nose i? (rom a chunck of Parian marble, and your mouth puckered with sweetness. Nectar lingers on your liys Uko honey on a boor's paw and myriads of unfledged kisses ure there ready to fly out and light somewhere, like Duo birds out of n parent's nest. Your laugh \ings in my curs Uko tho wind burp's strains or tho blunt of a struy lamb on n bleak hillside. Tho dimples on your cheeks uro like bowers and beds of roses, or hollows in cukes of hotne-mudc sugar. I nm dying to fly to thy prcscnoo ond pour out the buming eloquence of my love as thrifty housewives pour out hot coffee Away fruin you I nm ns melancholy ns o sick rat. Sometimes I cun hear tho June bugs of despondency buzzing in my cms, und feel the cold lizards of despair orawiing down my back. Uncouth fears, like n thousand minnows, nibble at my spirits, und my soul is pierced through with doubts as nu old ehceso is bored with skippers. My lovo for you is stronger than thc smell of Coffy's patent butler or tho kick of a young cow, and moro unselfish than n kitten's first caterwaul. As thc song-bird hankers for tho light of day, thc cautious moma: for the fresh baoon in tho trap, ns a lean pup hankers for new milk, so 1 lo ii ti for I hoc. You uro fairer than a speckled pullet, sweeter thon a doughnut fried in sorghum molasses, brighter than tho topnot plumage on the hoad of n muscovey duok. You ure candy kisses, raisins, pound euko and sweetened tody altogether. If these few remarks will enable you lo sec the inside of my soul, and mo to win your affections, I ahull bc as happy as a woodpecker on a cherry Irco, or a stage horse in a green pasture If you cannot reciprocate my thrilling passion, I will pine away like a poisoned bedbug and full uwuy from tho flourishing vine of life, an un timely branch; und in thc coming year, when the shadows grow from thc hills nnd tho philosophic frog sings his cheerful evening hymus, you, happy in another's love, outi como and drop a tour and catch n cold upoo tho lust resting piuco of yours truly, V The sermon willi which tho Hov. George G. Milo astonished his Unitarian congre galion, in Chicago, by a renunciation of bc lief in God or n future lifo, was n bitter at tnok on Christianity. Speaking of tho general disbelief in n literal hell, ho said: "Yet, defenders of conservative theology would do woll to guard strongly tho gates of hell, for when they full thc chief scourge in tho hands of tho church lins lost its lush Nay! tho system then already totters to full; for tho foundations of orthodoxy aro laid in tho bed of hell." Ho thinks that tho churches of a century henoo will teuoh mo rnlity fur its own soke, and leave tho ques tion of a future lifo to speculation.
