Tho Legislature, in its recent action, levying a fax Tor State purposes, ot j nine mills, exhibited a recklessness itt handling the vita! and sensitive matter of taxation, which surpasses all previous acts of wrcng and oppression done by fcouth Carolina Radicalism. The vote upon this paramount question showed how totally ignorant the members were even as to the wants of thc exchequer to meet the extravagances of thc party. lt was a random votiug, with an appa? rent disposition on thc part of some,, who probably knew a little more of what was being doue,, to reach tbc highest possible figure that could be pushed through. There seemed to be no sort of calculation as to bow much money * would be needed to run the Radical State machino, but simply to create as great a margin as possible in which to "operate." We have had promises of retrenchment, and (he organ of the party at Charleston has urged it, and Gov. SCOTT,even, in his message, advised it j and wc stood ready to approve and commend any step we might see taken in that cfinestse*.- j But this recent action looks as though J a ic-instatement in power, for two years more, has been seized as the opportu ni.y to Jmg with impunity yet more heavily from the pockets of ?he honest and industrious people of the State. In 1869 the levy was seven mills-last year (as though, if possible,, to> produce j the impression of some returning sense of justice and economy) it was put at five mills r and now, when another clec-1 tion has been secured, the first cnor mous tax is overleaped by two mills, ?ad we have a levy of niue mills, or j :;incty cents upon every hundred dol? lars valuation of property-the valua? tion being arbitrarily put, and, in some instances, at more than two hun per cent, dred above thc actual value, whilst ahaastvin every instance it is j exceeded. The same act authorizes three mills for county purposes-makii g 81 20 upon every (estimated) hundred dollar* worth of property. This has been done, too, ai a ' time, when, fre?a thc lips of every one-ex crpt, probably, those who live from the public treasury-we hear the cry of stringency in monetary affairs-when ilie State is poorer than it has been since tho war, and when distrei?.s? ;from want, is stiring thousands in the face, during the year upon wh ich wc have entered, before another erc-? is made. Thc icccsMty for this terrible tax if there bt necessity, even under the existing state of affairs-can only be lound in the most profligate cxtrava j:ancc-thc purpose to grow .?ch from I be people's pockets, and to make poor? er, the large, intelligent class oS'whites. j who arc al?o excluded from all partici-l patina in the affairs of State. Wo proclaim this tax an oppression , a n; oust rous oppression, and io the face i \ of all justice and hoi e-ty, wc protest i rf.-.ii st it, as ruinions to the iuduotries 11..! prosperity of thc State.

The attempt t arrest some of t?em was resisted wit arms, and one or more of the militi outlaws wert killed. Some of the arms held by thc colore militia were taken from them, and : appears, as we learn from thc Columbi Phoenix, that oo Sunday, Jao. 1, Capt ALECK WALKER, the colored eaplai of thc militia, applied to the parties wh had charge of thc guns belonging I the militia, but his demand was refuse: and he was subsequently arrest cd charged with thc killing of Mr. MAI STEVENS. Fifteen pf hts militia wer alttO arrested. On Wednesday even:ur: a party of uukuown horsemen wcot t the Shcrii ind peremptorily demande* the keys of the jail ; they were give! up, and they proceeded to the jail am took charge of five of the prisoners Captain A.

We are farther informed* that Mr Smith, (the acting deputy,) who wat woun cd on Sunday last, died ot Thursday night. A oooiber of the good cit ??ens ol Union have visited Columbia, asking protection from the Mate authorities from this shocking state uf affairs. Tin Governor, we learn, has bien absent, and what will be-oeoo remains to be seen. J6$* The Bennettsvillc Journal has betn discontinued, fro? wool ,of. pa? tronage and failure of patrons to pay we apprehend chiefly in consequence of thc latter. News-prefer bills are tlmmost difficult of all bills to collect. With many the idea seems to prevail that the editor aod printer eau be put off, with impunity, to the last, and-if he is Derer paid-why, it dont make tr nen difference. And yet oo mao, or act of men. white or black, work as maoy hours out the twenty-four, or contribute more to tbe general j.ro+petity. Some men will take y out paper three years, with' out paying, and then ask you to stop it, and teail fur what i* due-borne never think of paying abd never intend to pay, if their action* are no indication. Soute grumble when the Lilt lor two or three year? sobsori pt ?un ia presented, say they didn't think they owed so much, and ooo half the tine didn't get tbe paper.

Io short, they would find that an editor isa hard work ed mao, a much abused mao, and in most eases a mighty pooily paid one. A. T. STEWARTS PROJECTS.

THE Sl MDAYSTHOdh F8STIFAL AT THE METHODIST CHURCH. .VB EDITOR :-Occupying the posi? tion you do, the brief and modest notice giveu in your editorial columns of the recent Sunday School Festival at the Methodist ?hurch may do-(as far as yon are concerned ) But you will per? mit an outsider, I hope, to do that wit ?ch you might not feel it to be in good taste for you to do-speak a little more at length in regard to the merits of that particular occasion, with the hope, meanwhile entertained, that thc goner al interests of this noble cause in the country, may be accelerated thereby. I will say, then, thai I was gratified nay, delighted, by the occasion referred to. Iii truth, I liad, previously, but an inadequate conception, of the attention which is being given to, and the inter est which is generally felt in, the Sab bath School io ?ur community. I found thc large church thoroughly crowded with the good people of Sumter, irre spect?re of denomination, and many, even, white and colored, in thc galleries And as I looked upon thc beautiful scene, I thought it one upon which the blessed Saviour himself smiled, and around which the good angels- delighted to hovf.-r.' The decorations were chaste and in beautiful design ?nd execution. The rine clad arch, encircling the pnl pit, like a bow cf promise, and set off with light*-, like stars io a crown. The rich and symmetrical ever green holly springing up aa it were from a basis of spot les* white, ita bows laden with beautiful gifts for the children, and fronting the scene, to adorn tue picture. And this supported on its tight and left hy the brillant .'whatnot," redolent with Xe* Year presents. The charra ing wreaths that hung upon thc walls and ereireled the columns. All this was appropriate and lovely; and when yon said that credit WM due Mr. J. D. CBAIO and the yoong ladies who wor ked so zealously in that department, vou expressed bul faintly what was their doe. ' i har? learned, too, that great credit waa doa to other Indicar connected with thia School, for their unremitting zeal in gathering and arranging (ho large number of presenta that wt rc .provided, and distributed. And 1 am sure that their hearts were gladdened when they wi fueled thc beaming coan! ?nances of tuc happy children,aa they eat in live? ly erp<fctatic4?, or advanced, with bou nd tiig joy; to receive their token? of affee lion ir um the hands of the Sup? tinten-1 dent. ,K?T3?.::? iz a r CK** Thc c^'refn?i w^fwg*ti wHb fwwyer hy Bev; NOAH QBAUAS?, ol t??c Baptist Churnh?wm* ba? bees? invited to offi etetUL T??etr ?m*, ?owe of thai ?went Swd*f8*k ?mis\?,*h\ch i* so foil of iot^tfto for the ehristian heart, \tp}^'^co^Kyi FLoarxc* BBQW.

Elder, of the new ecclesiastical District of Sumter, deiivers some closing re? marks, which enliven the wbolo scene, and constitute a fitting close. The parting sung is song, which sweetly dies upon the car, as the large assemblage risc to retire. And now, Mr. Editor, I did not pro pose to trench upon your space, and if I have done so, I hope the sacred cause in which I have written, will be my sufficient palliation. A VISITOR. WHY THE TEACHERS ABE NOT PAID. MR. EDITOR :-We desire to ask why we cant get our pay ? I dont like to give my ideas on this subject; but,ss I am forced to do so, I will with plea* sure. Thc reason why we caot'get our pay is, because there are certain men lob? bying around the oCce of the State Superintendent of Education, who no doubt tickle his ear with propositions to speculate on the teachers'claims. If this is cot so, the signs are suspicious* and I candidly believe it is true. 1 have oecular demonstration of it, in letters I have seen, from those connect? ed with the office named (State Super? intendent of Education) and also from others who arc lobbying around his office, for the purpose of speculating on teachers' claims. I may be asked for proof of this state* tnent. To all who detnnud this, I reply as far as the letters are concerned : 1st. Last spring I saw a letter, written to a gentleman of this town, by one of the clerks of the Superintendent of Education, which informed him that he could get (he teachers' claims cashed by a discount of five per cent, on the dollar. The gentleman who received the letter is an exeeptien-one who ia deeply in? terested in school matters, And manifests a proper interest in seeing that the teachers get their full pay. Ile kindly advised not to agree with any such swindling game, as he would not h m self. 2nd Last fall I saw iu the hands of the same gentleman, in this town, another letter, written by some of the parties in the same c-ffice, at Columbia, informing him that he could get the teachers' claim cashed by a discount ol fiveprr cent, on the dollar. And ?he good gentleman, like a good shepherd to his sheep, and like a father to his children, would not allow them to be swiudled oat of one cent, if he could help it. He loaned them rooney with-' out interest, and advised them again not to agree with the swindling offer that came from Columbra. Now, my reeders, yon may call this nonsense. But we are informed that there three kinds of nonsense, to wit: bard nonsense, soft noosensc and fool ish nonsense, but keeping teachers cut of their tuition, by not sending their checks, I call ?wiudling nonsense. Now, I will give you tho third reifer to this town from Columbia, to swindle teachers ont ot their money. This was sent direct to another teacher sod my. self; but wc can't see it. They saw it was no ncc to write to the gentleman lowborn the two first letters Were ad. dressed ; and now they try the teachers direct, for several letters of a.similar character to that I herewith publish, were received by other teacher a, Bviog unacquainted with the gentle? man who writes me this letter, I trust he wi1! pardoe me for publishing it, and take it at hard nonsense, for soft, fool? ish and swindling nonsense will hive no easy job to outdo hard nonsense. My candid opiuioo of the reason why the teachers cant get their pay te, beca ate some of these men, who- t?e occupying the best office in the educational depart? ment of the State are not in the proper discharge of their duty, hut linga swiodliog atona, and theo bide their hands, or, in other words, furnish a list of teachers names, to Whom proposi? tions to shave their claims may bc made. Then, when tbe job it.finished,, ia Kepa Mr. 1 lit-g-stone lor bia aber? of the profit's of the business. When I wish to sell my -claim, I will let the swindler* ol, the South Carol ina Bank and Treat Company know it Bat wait ,utttir yoi are called on, wou't yea ? w.>jrr>3$fe ^?>, :?**? swindler* boccme th? topic of tb<: day.
