Tho Assessment Law?. Eenori uf ibo Special Com ?n; i'ec- o? One from Euch County to Whom waa re ferred ao much of the Report of the Comptroller General aa re-iutts to the Late Action of the Suite Uonrd of Equalization. W h'j rea-} it appears from t'.ic repon if thc Comptroller General and the tab!"* exhibited therewith that th 3 State Hoard ot Equalization, nt its meetii g in October last, recommended that the real estate of Abbeville Comity not in liicorncratcu cities, towns and villages fchould be ns sr;-c.l thirty per cent., and thc real estate of said County in incorporated cities, towns and villages should be assessed twelve per cent, higher tlmu wa? ! ged by tho Auditor nnd Hoard of Equaliza tion of said County under the Act of March 22, 1878; and whereas sait! action of thc Stale Hoard of Equalization baa 110 operation until confirmed by the Leg islature, but, if accepted, must remain unchanged for tho next five years, when the State Hoard of Equalization \vill have its next meeting; there!'.re, Resolved, Thut so ni .u h ol the report of thc Comptroller General as rehiles tn the late action of the State Hoard ol Equalization bo referred to a special Committee of one from each County iii the State to consider and report thereon The special Committee to whom wai referred "so much of the Comptroller General's report aa relates to the assess ment of hinds und thu action of tiic Statt Hoard of Equalization," beg leave to re port: That they have considered tin same as well as th. ir limited time wouk allow, but have not been able to give thu attention to thc subject which it? iuipor lauco demands. Your Committee find on the statut book 11 system of taxation essentially dil feront from that which existed in tili State from 17'JU up to the reorguuizntioi of the. Stute government under what i known ns thc reconstruction Acts of Con ?Tess in I.SOS. This system is new to OU people, who have not becomo accustom vi to its forms and operation. It was im ported into this State, for thc most purl from the State of Ohio, one of the larges and richest States of the Union. It is i; some respects a good system, but it i elaborate, complicated und cumbcrsom - too much 10 for a small State not ric in resources, like South Carolina. You Committee hope that ut some future linn not very distant, a co iiinissinn may b appointed to consider thc subject ol tax ution ns ti whole, which will have time t work in the recess and revise anti amen or abolish the whole system, and repot tho result ol '.heir labors for legislativ action ; but it is a subject too largo am complicated for intelligent action dunn the short and busy period of one sessio of the Legiflluturc, and therefore you Committee have not, undertaken to ri commend any such radical change of th ?aw, but have addressed themselves oui to the work of r.udeliyorjng to reined for the time the most pressing evils 1 tho system. The Bill of Right?, Article !, Sectio ?ld, declares "that all property subject t luxation shall be taxed in proportion t ita value." Tiic Constitution, Article II, Sectio 33, declares "that all taxes upon propel ty, re?' or personal, shall be upon th actual . niue ol' the property tared, ns th - rt i ? 10 nhill! bo ?sccrt.? ??ctl by un Hisses.' ment tunde for tho purpose of layin such tax." It also declares, in Article IX, .Sectio 3, thal tho "General Assembly shall prc vide by law for 11 uniform and equal rat ol' assessment und taxation, and nhill prescribe such regulations as ?bal! seer a just valuation lor taxation of all prop city, real, personal aid possessory, ex ccpt mines, &c." And in t'..c same article, Section 6, i i? further declared that "the Gcncrt Assembly shall provide for the valuatio and assessment of nil lands and the in provcnients thereon, prior to the assen hiing of ihe Genom! Assembly for 1371 and thereuUer on every fifth year." Thc General Assembly has undertake to carry out iheae provisions in Ibo mai ncr following: They r quire thc land* l bc assessed nt their true value, and thc the tux is laid by simply declaring a p centum upon that assessment which wi prodf-re the amount desired. It ?3 tht apparent that the most important fact in tho process of tuxaticn, that whit lies ut tho foundation ol' the whole mm turo, is ihe assessment of value*, '. accomplish thut purpose, the ibllowii machluery ia employed : Au Auditor nppointcu for euch Countv, whose du it is to asneas the lands; a Countv Bon of Equalization, whoso duty it ?H equtt?T'.e the valuation of tho scve Sircels in thc County ; and then a Sti tiurd of Equalization, who are requii "to equalize the valuation of real prop ? ty among the severul Counties of 1 State." It ia seen, at a glance, that power tr? fis tho assessment ia very i portant; that it-is, in fact, tho powci taxation, except the declaration of per centum.' It is trite, as stated by Comptroller General, that under 1 system "tho absolute vuluation of property of the taxpayers is a matte 110 consequence to them; but while absolute valuation is thus o?'little mut tho relative assessment of property i the greatest consequence. Injustice done,, demanding prompt reparut: when the property of an . individua valued higher than similar property his fellow taxpayer." It is precisely 1 that ia complained of: there exist general and well-founded oninion I there i* injustice in tbo "relative ns. luent" nf the value of L.nds mad0 for In 1874, the Legislature, by joint n lution, provided for a rc-asses?uient the hinds of tho State. The aasvssrr waa made by thosa who lind little km edge of the subject, and little care al it except to raise from taxation a h ? mount, of 2*?O??y. It is believed i this assessment was grossly imper! unequal and excessive. The lost Legislature attempted to rcct this grievance by thc Act of Mt 22:\, 1878-"to amend the law in rein to thc assessment HPd collection of tax Ac. Under this law, which was ono ] in advance of tito regular time for e assessment, thediflercntcounties, thro their Auditors and Corney Ltoardi Equalization, have made "assessme Most of these assessments were bt tim assessment of 1874, which had 1 acted'under for the years 1874-o-6-7. The Stato Hoard or Equalization convened in October last, *nd by res tion raised some of these new assessor - n dably lhotse for the Counties of boville, Chester, Chesterfield, Hamp Horry, Kershaw, Marlboro, Willn bu'g and Lexington. Thin valuation, so changed by the S Board of Equalization, must remain basia nf titviiijnn for ?he next five y unless tho Legislature in tomo changes tho samo or provides for a assessment.

From these and other consideration!*, your Committee ate. of the opinion that thc valuation of the lands of tho diff?r ent counties of the State as now fixed by tho State Hoard of Equalization ii not ( equal and just and needs correction; bm they arc also of opinion that it i- im practicable for this Legislature to corro? t thc same. To make thc correction as it ought to bo done would renoir- thc tak ing of much testimony and mm. h more lime than we have at our disposal. The duties of this body are legislative, and lo sit here ns a supervising Board ol (Equal ization for thu whole State would result in the necessary neglect ol' proper legis lation, and would bo a violation of our duly. Your Committee, however, would recommend that this Legislature provide for a rc-assessment of ail real estate, to be taken in th,, year 1870, iyid thal tin law for making the assessment be no amended as to secure a true, just and equal assessment in accordance with the Constitution. Thc last general ati???menl was made in 1871, and the year 187'J is thc proper year, under tho Constitution, tor a re le?sessinent. Your Committee think thal it itt a ne cessity for thu Legislature io Itike, r:? <i whole, the assehsiiients as made by the counties or as raised by the Slate Hoard nf Equalization, 'i ney cannot but sup pose the tonner mort! negr the true value, and therefore they recommend the adop tion of the following resolutions: Reto vtil, Thal the General Assembly, at its present cession, shall provide by law br a general rc-assessmcnt of all lands and the improvements thereon in thi'j Stale, to bu made in obedience to the Constitution, in thc year one thousand eight hundred and .-evenly nine (107?.) l?etolvt? hythe House ul Representa lives, tho fcjemite concurring, That Hie recent valuation and iissoi-suient ol' tho real estate ?d' the dillerent counties ol' this Slate, made anil reported by the Auditor-* ami Hoards ?d' Equalization of the dillerent counties under the Act of March 22, 187N, shall stand as the legal valuation and assessment ol' said counties, respectively, for thu collection ol' taxes until the next general assessment, and that th?

He became au apprentice in a prin ting olliee in 1812, and with the travel ers instinct developed,started in 1811 on a pedestrian tour through Europe. This ? ns thc commencement of a career a* a ravelcr which luis made one of the most useful men in the world as well as one of tile greatest travelers. His literary fe cundity has been amazing. It may in deed be said that he has made the En glish reading people familiar with all parts of the world. From the Nile to the far Lapland, from Japan to "Mexico, bc traversed tropical plains and deserts and the frozen plains' of the North. His des cription were equally graphic sketches in delineating the customs of the List, or describing the dwellers of the far North and bis journey iugovcr thc lichen-covered plain* behind tho reindeers of Lapland! or in India, China and Japan, or in Rus sia or Greece. The charm of his writings i* a siiuple, narrative style aud a graph ic description of men and things, customs ?iud manners, minute details, which (all short of tedium and yet are sufficiently minute to show thc people ns they are. Mr. Taylor wa* nota profound social phi lecpher, nor an ethnologist, nor un arch aeologist. He found a sufficient field in furnishing the public with a photograph of society us he saw ir, leaving other fields to specialists. He has published about a dozen works of travels, some dozen volume* of poems ami poetry, four or live novels, beside* several translations, and was engaged at the time of his death upon a lifo of Goethe and Schiller, which wa* to have been his iua>ler-piece. M r. Taylor's great work iras his trans lation of Goethe's nuisttfrpieee, "batist." In this work he displayed a thorough sympathy with his author, and an under ?t.anding of that profouuiferi worK of poets, which he has admiral .y reproduc ed in his translation. Th i mere tyro who carefully compares tho translation with the original will perceive the thor ough knowledge of the Germ?n language and its nice shades, the intimate acquain tance and reproduction of the original metres in that wonderfully diversified production, und the vast labor which must have been expended. If Mr. Tay lor bad done nothiug but.make Faust in telligible to English student* and schol ars, lie would deserve the gratitude of this country. While this is true, ?md he lue* followed his author with marvelous literalness and fidelity, one may even yet wish that Coleridge could also luivc trans lated Faust. Mr. Taylor was essentially a popular writer, of great fecundity and wonderful industry. Ho was properly, what bc waa in fact, the greatest of traveling corres pondents, for most of his works appeared in newspapers before publication in books. As a poet he has never touched the popular heart, and perhaps his translation of Faust is bis most enduring work, uuless he left his biography of Goethe in shape for publication.
