This decision will proba? bly reopen tho troublesome question of recon? struction in that State." -Loudon was tho scene during Christmas week of a grand wedding between Eui Percy and Lady Edith Campbell, eldest daughter of the Duke of Argyle. Tho union of two such great, ancient and wealthy families male quite a sensation in the metropolis. -Trams on the Central Pacific Railroad are running on pchedulo time to Carlin, Nevada{ six hundred miles from San Francisco.* Track layers aro at Humboldt Canon, twenty-five miles further east. No interruption has occur? red from snows so far, the twenty-two mile? of snow-sheds at tho summit of the Sierras work? ing satisfactorily. ? -It is reported that Surratt bas in course of preparation for tho press a omplete history of h's wanderings during bia efforts to avoid the government detectives and escape arrest, and that he will divulge everything he knows bearing in any way upon the parties con? cerned ia the assassination of President Lin? coln. -The legal-tender law frequently gives rise to trouble m California, whare public opinion has never tolerated anything but gold. A man recently offered a greenback as a legal-tender for his fare on the Central Pacific Railroad. The conductor refused to receive it except at the current rates of discount, and finally put t the man off the train by force, injuring him severely in doing so. -The Vienna Press asserts that the represen? tative of the Greek Government at tho Paris Conference will not bo permitted to offer any proposition, but will attend only to give infer mation in regard to the 8 abjects under discus sion. The conference will frame a project of settlement, which it will be the duty of Greeco to adopt after its aoceptanoe by the Sublime Porte, and the.withdrawal of the Turkish ititi mat um. -A cable dispatch says that a system of .penny postage between Great Britain and this country is advocated by many members of the new British Parliament; that a memorial sign ed by hundreds of the members of Parliament has been presented to Reverdy Johnson re? questing him to urge the American Govern? ment to adopt a system of penny postage be? tween the Uaited States and Great Britain, and that the London Timos prints thc memo? rial and comments favorably thereon. -Tho New Yurk Herald says our cow3 from Mexico is to tho effect that tho ropublic is on the evo of revolution. General Alalorie is spoken of as the leader, thc purpose being to put Porfirio Diez at the head of affairs. Tho people were disgusted with the Juarez ad? ministration. There was no security for Americans, one of whom was murdered at Vera Crnz just before the steamer left, and although the assassin was known, he was per? mitted to escape to Havana. The Mexicans were much incensed with the United States, some ot them being clamorous for another war with us. -John Minor Botts, whose death wa3 an? nounced on Saturday, waH born in Prince Wil? liam County, Virginia, in 1803, and was at tho age ot eighteen admitted to the bar. ? He retir? ed after a few years to his farm in Henrico County, bu1: was a member of the State Legis? lature from 1833 to 1839, and a represeutativo in Congress from 1839 to 1843. Ho was a warm friend of Henry Clay, and was one of the ear? liest and most vigorous denouncers of what ho considered the tergiversation or Mr. Tyler. Mr. Botts was re-elected to tho Thirtieth Con? gress, but after its close retired from pub?e lifo. During the war he maintained a sort of neutrality botween the Union and the Confede? rate interests, but has been since its close a supporter ya the main of the Congr3ssional policy of reconstruction. -The London Times thinks thero is "one branch of civilization in which the Americans have undoubtedly sot an example lo tho world." This is our free newspaper exchange system and cheap newspaper postal rates. No system of "exchange" between papers exist in England, and with no favor from the govern? ment the cost of such a system would bc im? mense. The rates of postage, too, are so high that the greater part of newspaper transporta? tion is done by private enterprise. The post office, Ea vs tho Times, performs the least pos? sible amount of work at the greatest possible y expense, The cost of a paper is doubled by receiving it by post. In view of these facts, there are some misgivings, about the coming control of ail telegraph lines by the British Postoffice Department. Unless the govern? ment shows more regard for the press in the management of the telegraph the public will suffer by the change. -William Alexander Louis Stephen Hamil? ton-Douglas, Duko of [Hamilton, Marquis of Hamilton, Marquis of Doaglas, MarquiB of Clydesdale, Earl of Angus, Ear.' of Arrau, Earl of Lanark, Baron Hamilton, Baron of Aven, Pol mont, Mnchauslure, and In ncr dale, Baron of Abernethy and Jedburgh Forest, Duke of Brau don and Baron Dutton, is a young man of about twenty-:breu years of age, who seems to have more money than vrit, and more wicked? ness thin either. He and his youngest broth? er, Charles George Archibald Hamilton, bave lately been making Paris the scene of th Mr ex? ploits. The other night coming from the opera ball with a party of friends, like them? selves under the influence of wino, they assault? ed the oocupant oF a carriage who refused to get out of their path, the Marquis beating him over the hoad with a loaded cane. The police interfered ann drove tho noble rowdies into tho shelter ot the Maison d'Or, whoro they so? laced themselves in the company of some noto? rious courtesans. Yet these men are the representatives of one of the oldest and proud? est families of Groat Britain. Verily, a here? ditary aristocracy is a valuable institution ! CHARLESTON. TUESDAY MORNING, JANUAliY 12,1869. The Real Estate Tax. The City Council, at their meeting to? night, will probably act upon the scheme of taxation proposed by the Committee on Ways and Means, which includes a tax of | 2J- per oent. upon all real estate. This tax on real estate, an increase of j one-half per cent, on the tai of last year, we are Btill constrained to oppose, not on account of any disposition to interfere with Council in their deliberations, but because the whole matter is still open to discussion, and because nothing has been said or writ? ten which har changed our opinion that the increased tax is, under the circumstances, both unwise ...nd unnecessary. No one will deny that a tax oa real estate of 2 per cent, is as much as property hold? ers -tan pay, and more than they can afford. Thc real property in the city is assessed at far more than its value; vaoant lots pay taxes as though dwelling houses and stores still stood upon them, and it is no uncom? mon thing for eligible stores to be rented for the amount of their taxes and the cost of insurance. We do not hesitate to say that real estate in this eily is miserably un? productive; for with a tax of 2i per cent., and taking into account State taxes, insu? rance, and repairs, the actual return upon the value of the property would not aver? age moro than three per cent. This --is the simple truth, and we should like to know whether oppressive taxation is not keeping down the marketable value of real estate, and actually preventing the growth of the city. The object of the committee in raising the tax to 2? per cent, is to resume the pay? ment of interest on the city debt. This restoration of our credit we most earnestly desire, and we hold that every reasonable sacrifice should be made to place Charles? ton in a solvent position. But it is whim? sically foolish to say that the resumption of | the payment of interest will increase the value of real estate. Property holders never regard the city debt as a morigago upon their houses and lots, nor do they ever face the fact that all their real estate io responsible for the debt of the city. And in regard to the additional value tobe given to real estate, we tell the committee that inoreased trade and inoreased business alone will cause a demand to spring up for houses and land, and make them improve in price. We are, nevertheless, ready to sustain the new tax, if without it the city interest cannot be paid. The estimated revenue for the year exclusive of the real estate tax-is $207,300, ind the estimated expenditures are, in Luding the interest, $700,000, leaving a deficiency of say $500,000. In the expen? ditures are iaoluded two sums which we propose to strike out: 1. Floating debt se? cured by deposit of collaterals, $50,000. I. Improvements, $36,000. Total, $86,000. The first amount, $50,000, is money bor .ovred from the banks, and we know that t can be carried for twelve months more, f required, upon the same security which he lenders now hold. If this city, when >ayiog its interest, cannot borrow $50,000 LS readily as it did when it was not paying he interest, the resumption will, it seems, io our credit more harm than good. The Becond amount, thirty-six thousand lollars, for improvements, we cannot ufford o spend. The committee set down fifty housand dollars for streets and pavements, vhiuu will keep thc grass from growing on he sidewalks, and should keep the whole ?itv in ordinary repair. Beyond this amount, ve arc not willing to spend u single dollar, )ccause it will do more harm to add one burth io the tax ou real estate than for he city to remain in its unimproved condi ion for another year or so. The same ar? gument holds good in relation to the fifty housaud dollars of borrowed money, the nterest upon which for twelve months will >e as nothing in comparison with an uddi ional taxation of ? per cent, on real prop trty. Cutting off this amount of eighty-six thou land dollars, for borrowed money and im iro vernen ts, the du fie ?ency in the city budget s reduced to Bay, four hundred and four een thousand dollars. A tax of 2 per cent. >n real estate-the tax of last year-will iroduoe four hundred thousand dollars, and .he balance, fourteen thousand dollars, nay be either made up by receipts overrun aingthe estimate?, or by deferring its pay? aient, to the succeeding year. We do not like the practice of cutting off from the top to tack oa to the bottom, but we know that a tax of 21 per cent, on real estate will be wellnigh ruinous; and as we have shown that t*?e interest on the city debt oaa be paid with a tax of 2 per cent, only, we urge Council to vote down any proposition te make the tax one iota more than that amount. Belli nd the Throne. The recent speech of Mr. E. B. Wash burne, chairman of the Committee on Ap? propriations, when introducing the first bill from that committee, has naturally excited mu J h attention. It told the Republican majority, in plain terms, that public nen Would be held responsible to the people, whose servants they were, and that the time had come wheL v. new departure must be taken by tho Radical parly. It also re minded Congress of their weighty duties in view of the financial burdens that press so heavily upon the entire business of the country, and make such severe exactions upon all classes of its citizens. This speech presented in broad terms the important fact that (he controversies which have controlled the politics of the nation for a long series of years are just passing away, and that a new class of questions are now arising to take their place. The pro? tracted strugglos of the forum and the Sen? ate was finally adjourned to the battle-field, and tho great war whioh followed plunged the ooi"utry into expenditures of money, and neoenji tifH? the accumulation of debts that have scarcely a parallel in modern his? tory. Slavery haviug been destroyed amid these convulsions, and the grounds of a long-standing quarrel forever removed, the subject of finance now looms up as the great theme of the future. To this theme, in its multiform aspects, Mr. Washburne calls the attention cf Congress and the country. The relations which Mr. Washburne is known to sustain to General Grant give unusual significance to his words; and from them we may venture to hope that rigid economy, searching retrenchment, the strict accountability of officeholders of every grade, and especially those charged with the collection and disbursement of the pub? lic monies, and the supremacy and enforce? ment of the laws in every' branch of the government and in all sections of the coun? try, are to be the cardinal measures of thc new administration. Tho Mandamus. The following is the conclusion of thc peremptory writ of mandamus issued by the Supreme Court in the Charleston contested election case, a copy of which will be served on each member of the Acting Board of | Aldermen : For these reasons and causes you say you cannot declare the persons aforesaid elected to tho offices claimed by them respectively, and cannot allow the said persons to enter upon the several and respective offices claimed by them as commanded. And, whereas, afterwards to wit, at tho some sessions of our said Supreme Court last afore? said, upon consideration of jour .aid return and of the caso shown by you therein, why you refused to declaro said election and against the awarding and issuintr of said writ of man? damus, and upon consideration of the atgu Dients of connsel, os woll as on your behalf, mowing causes aforesaid, as on behalf of said petitioners in support of their said petition, it iras considered by said Supreme Court that you lad certified thc return to said court insuffi :icnt cansos for not having declared said elec? tion, and against the awarding and issuing of said writ of mandamus, pursuant to the writ iforesaid. The said Supreme Court being of opinion, and having determined and adjudged if the matter aforesaid, that in cases of a con ;csted election, under the act aforesaid, it is lot competent .or the Acting Board of Alder ncn, for causes aforesaid, as aforesaid, to dc ?lare an election void: Now, therefore, we, seing willing that full and speedy just ico .mould je done in tho premises, do command thitt im nodiately after the receipt of this writ, and without delay, you declare said election, so that iomplaint be not again made to tho said Su? preme Court; and that you certify perfect obe lience and true execution of this writ to the laid Supremo Court, in the City of Columbia, >n the 30th day of January, 18C9.
