We olip the following dmirable refuttit(on of the 4'Counter .i Memori. al" from a communication to the l'lonix of March 4th. Oil looking into statistica, we learn that the property, real and personal -.f t Ie Umf1ed States, as ItssCsdLl in 1870 for liirposes of taxation, was vainled at $14,178,986,732... On this I.sses'sneut there wati it'viod for State pu poies the1- num of $68,051,209, be. Aig nearly .1.45 mills on the d dlar. In Soutih Carolinia the assessed vau I m or 1870 was .$183,13,337, upon xhich there wau levied, for Etatv murpo.)Oe5, a tax of 9 mills on the follar : that being nearly 10 per en. higher than the average levy t the United States. But the real 'alue of property in the United states for 1870 is given at $30,068,. 18,50'7 ; being more than double the 9-4 2s.ed value, upon which valuation he tax collected for State purp.c:i .iounted to only $2 26, tay 2.- in iis nII tIe dollar. In douth Carolina ho real value . is put for 1870 at 208,46,989, whioli, instead of be. 'g double the asse'saed value, as was lie cast in the United States taken t thu aggregate, was only a fractioi '-re ts;:n 13 per . ent. above the Lse-sed value ; and dpon this vitit. ion there wvas collected, according i ste censub report, a tax, Iutilitttit ig in t he, hggregate, to $1,321.337, ciig at the r.ate of 6.35 ,.ills ou ic dollar, or very nearly three times t oncb as the average tax of fhe 'iited States for the year 1870. , ii yet otir South Carolira Solons l'eet a holy hurror at the complaints I Ile tax payers as being almost r011:11 s.,. "Stop your cle.m-,r," .ey s , ini subtance; ,"we only barge you $1.97 per capita for gov ring 3 o'-." Co.nottiling; ts uly. 1at ti its look a little further into this intter, by comparing, or rather by .Sir.stiig individual 8:utes. In 'ew Yolik,she amsessed valetic of 19-o. nrty !or 18O was $1,967.001,185, 1iie the r.Vo I is.given at $6,500,841, 0. ; mnore than threo timei tile lis 1-4:-ed value, tnd upon this tissess itent was collected, for Statq pur 0o es, $8,720,155, being 4.43, not tite 14. mill to the dcllar- while he atitount olilected was only in lopm tion to 1.34, say I nills on Ite dollar of tho rgal. v..lue.
