The engineers in Charge of the Croton Aqueduct report that, on Saturday. September 25th, the water was five feet seven Inches below the top of the dam. and was falling at the rate ol seven Inches every twenty-four hours, and that, consequent? ly, the flow of water in the aqueduct was re? duced to less than 13,000,000 gallons a day. The quantity of water in all the city reservoirs on Saturday was 230,000,000 gallons^ The daily consumption of water in New York ls estimat? ed at 68,000.000 gallons, or 50.000.000 gallons more than the 18,000,000 gallons a day now flowing through the aqueduct to the reser? voirs. On Saturday, therefore, New York had leas than five days' supply of water. Newl'ork is entirely surrounded by salt water, and her condition would be pitiable in case of a total failure of the Croton works to furnish the daily supply. _ That Terrible Taxation. The State taxes now collecting, for the year 186S, amount in the aggregate to about $1,200,000, and the Slate taxes for the year 1869 are due and must be paid on or before March 1st, next. It is not likely that the expenditures for 1869 will be set down at less than $750,000; so that the people of the State, within a period of less than nine mor tbs, will be called on to pay into the treasury at least two million of dollars. And this is without taking iuto account the taxation of the. cities and counties, which will swell the total taxation to the neighbor? hood of three and a half million dpllars. Of this enormous sum, the chief part will go into the pockets of Radical officials who' hold their positions, not for the public g^pd, but for their personal aggrandizement; and it is no wonder that our people should cast about for some means of equalizing the tax? ation and of making every class bear its share of the common burden. The State Constitution forbids the levying of any poll tax except for educational pur? poses, and if it were not prohibited by the organic law our niisrepresentatives In the State Legislature would not be eager to di? minish their waning i>opularity with their only stay and support, by imposing a tax upon the colored people. From the State Legislature we need not expect either econ? omy or equity, and tho taxpaying citizens must look to their own efforts for redress and relief. One suggestion made by a country con? temporary is, that the land tax be equalized by making the colored laborer who works on shares pay a proportion of the land tax equal to his interest in the crop. Under the existing arrangement, the laborer's one third of the crop is net profit, while from the two-thirds of the land owner must be deducted the expenses of the farm, in order to show what is made by the year's risk and troubl?. The Mea is that he who shares in tlieprofit ought also to share in the expense; and if the planters in the different neighbor? hoods act with unanimity, they can undoubt? edly make the laborer bear his part of the load of taxation. The whole question is a ven- simple one. As the expenses of the farmers increase their profits decrease. They expect to pay State taxes; but when the amount of the tax is four and five times as much as in any pre? ceding year, the probability of profit be? comes particularly small. Their corn crops may fail ; their cotton may be cut down to a third of a crop; but the tax-gatherer goes his rounds as usual, and makes no difference in his demands, whether the season i>? gwU or bad, successful or unsuccessful. The planters, then, when they find that exces? sive taxation eat? way their profit, must increase their man or the coming year by reducing their other i xpenses. Labor, as an important element of cost, first demands attention. The planter first carefully es' '. t?mates his working expenses, on the bash) of i a crop of the average of the last three years, i to be sold at the average price. If he finds . that in consequence Of the increased taxa? tion he has little chance of doing more than i make both ends meet, he must in some way , reduce his outlay without diminishing bis i expectation of a crop. There is no room : for making less his personal expenses ; they are small enough already. All that he can do is to call his han?ls together and tell them frankly that they mast accept less compen? sation for their work. The hands can be made to see that this Is done In no spirit of grinding or oppression, but because the planter cannot pay more and make money. They will understand this readily enough; nor will they fail to comprehend their situa? tion. They will see. that it is the Radical Legislature of the State which injures them; while the planters desire to give the laborer the highest compensation they can afford. The 3um.e course of action applies to laborers who are hired by the month ; and the result of the plan must be to convince the laboring classe? that their only hope of higher wages, and more comfort for their familiefi, is in electing to office upright and capable men, in the place of the knaves and tricksters who now impoverish whites and blacks alike. The value of labor is determined by the demand, and the demand is determined by the profit to be derived from its.eraployment. Excessive taxation, therefore, in diminishing the profit of the emptoyer.. Jessens the do? rn md for labor, and forces the laborer to work at a lower rate or stan-e. We hope to see wages advance; for than this there can be no better sign of a solid improvement in our position; but while taxation, is as high as it is now, the laborer, however worthy of his hire, must exj>ect to see his yearly profit grow steadily and suroly less. . THE population of Horry County, accord? ing to the census just completed, ls as fol? lows: Whites, 7373; blacks, 2889. Total, 10,262. In 1860 the population, according to the United States census, was: Whites, 5564; blacks, 2398. Total, 7962. During the nine years the county has therefore gained 1809 whites, and 491 blacks-the total gain being 2300. ' , THE important letter from our able and trustworthy Washington correspondent, which we print to-day, contains a full histo? ry of the Sickles embrogHo, a sketch of the position of the high officials in regard to the P'\ posed tax on cotton, together with preg? nant hints about Virginia affairs and the policy of the administration. THE negroes in Laurens are stealing cot? ton at agreat rate. The only present remedy is great vigilance on thwart of the plant? ers, and an agreement among the mer? chants not to buy loose cotton after night? fall. Any merchant who refuses to enter i into sachan agreement ought to ba care- i fully watched. 1 ( Tfte g trike thc Wharves. The strike of the Longshoremen; under, the auspices of the "Longshoremen's Pro? tective Association," lias doubtless caused great embarrassment to our shipowners, and has certainly retarded the deliver}' and ship? ment of the produce-and merchandise which cumber up the wharves of thc city. But the Longshoremen have the clear right to combine to obtain higher wages; it rests with them to say at what rate they will or will not work. On the other hand, the ship? ping agents must determine for themselves whether they can afford to pay the price de? manded, o.- whether they can get the work done at a lower rate. It ls their right to employ whom they please, at whatever price they may agree upon, and when the Long? shoremen endeavor to prevent any p?rsons from working, because they take less than the standard price of the association, they commit an unlawful act and expose them? selves, we should judge, tb the severe penal? ties of the law. The whole matter is lucidly explained in the following extract from a note in Mr. Mc Culloch's edition of Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations:'' "If any number of persons choose to com? bine to refuse to work, except for 41 certain amount of wages, or for certain hours per day, or week, to forbid them would seem to be a most oppressive interference with one of the distinguishing privileges of free laborers. It was found, too, that, practically, the laws against such combinations were good for noth? ing, and that, instead of putting them down, they gave them a secret character, and made them be easily perverted to other and more objectionable objects. But when workmen have power to refuse to employ themselves on terms of winch they disapprove, they have got all, In this respect, to which they arc entitled. None of them have any right to dictate to their fellows, or to say that, because they object lo certain stipulations in the terms offered by such and such employer?, no one else shall be allowed to accept them. A pretension of this sort strikes at the very foundations of society, and, If tolerated, might enable juntos of de? signing Individuals to Inflict Irreparable Injury, not only on the employers of labor, but on the manufacturers of the country, am? consequcnt ly-on the lasting Interests of the laboring class. We need not. however, be surprised to learn that this ls what numbers of workmen In vari? ous places have attempted to do; and that combinations have been formed, not for the legitimate purpose of refusing to work except on certain conditions, but for preventing other workpeople who may disapprove of or not choose to insist on these conditions, accepting thc terms offered by their employers. The measures taken to enforce this most unjustifi? able pretension have, in some Instances, been of a very obnoxious description, and have evinced thc existence of a very dangerous spirit. Nothing should be omitted that may serve to root out and suppress combinations for such illegal ends. They are completely subversive of that security essential to the prosecution of all indastrlous undertakings; and are, at bottom, as hostile to thc interests of those that enter Into them as they are to the interests of everyone else." But tho Charleston Longshoremen, nearly all of whom are negroes, are now striving to compass their ends by brute violence anti intimidation. On yesterday, they attacked and wounded a white man, not a member, of course, of the association, who was working on] the wharves at the old rate3 of uml later tn tue <tRy they htrrtprt brick? bats at the laborers who continued to work, bruising them slightly. Encouraged by the impunity which attended their first on? slaught, tliey made a second attack; and to-day we may look for a more serious dis? turbance unless our pusillanimous Chief Magistrate plucks up the courage to do his duty and protect the working laborers from Lbe violence of their black assailants. If Mayor Pillsbury will not do this, the men who desire to work must take care of them? selves without his help; but we cannot for? get that tito same official who now sends-a contemptibly .small squad of policemen, armed with their staves, to save from harm a body of industrious laboring men, could turn out the whole police force, with Winchester rifles anti fixed bayonets, as well as a batta? lion of United Stutcs troops, when there was a likelihood that a number of Georgia gentlemen, with their Charleston entertain? ers, would resent, as it deserved, any in? dignity that a colored mob might offer them. Gold Below Par : Perhaps the most irregular phase of the recent agony among the bulls and bears of the New York Gold Room is the apprehen? sion that, we are told, was at one time seri? ously entertained that gold might sink to par, or even-be quoted at a discount. Thc New York Ilerairf gravely alludes to thia as one of tlie "terrible consequences" of the panic, which were averted by the timely suspension of the operations of the Gold Board. It says: "Had the Gold Byard gone into regular ses? sion, it would have been necessary to foreclose the outstanding accounts of every member in default. From fifty to sixty millions of gold would thus have been brought under the ham? mer, and the singular spectacle would have been witnessed of gold selling down to par. if not below it. This would have been the Indu? bitable result of the forcible eulo o? so much gold. The mistake waa discovered in time and prevented. Every member of the Exchange would have been bankrupted, for the heaviest capital-could not have withstood the pressure of such Immense sales." SOMEBODY in the Postotfice Ring wants a fut job; and so, we are told, the newpo3tage stamps ure to be discarded and a complete new set is to be furnished to the exacting public. Tlie next issue will be ornamented, like those formerly in use, with the vignettes of Washington, Franklin, Jefferson. Jackson and other statesmen ; and it is to be hoped that a phrenological examination of the heads of these historic worthies will show their bumps of adhesiveness to be reasona? bly well developed. They should, at least, be made to last until the eud of the present administration of General Grant. THE printers made sad work of a para? graph in the special telegram from Wash? ington which we published yesterday. The paragraph should have read thus: "Promi? nent Northern Republicans write to Secre? tary Boutwell, strenuously opposing the proscriptive policy of the administration to? wards Dent and Hamilton, the Conservative candidates for Governor in Mississippi and Texas. They urge that thia policy, LTper sioted in, will infallibly give the Democracy the control of the entire South at no distant toy." 1 il) a nt s.
