TUE INCOME TAX.
Speculations In Regard to its Repeal or
Modi.Ovation.
A Washington dispatch of Tuesday, to the
Baltimore Sun, saya
Fragt? what has been developed within a few
days past it is evident that the question of repeal
or modification of thu Income tax will cause ex?
cited and prolonged discussion in the approach?
ing session of Congress. The matter ls of espe?
cial Importance to large corporations and indi?
viduals of Immense Income. Certain of these
have combined, it is alleged, and lormed a party
with a large aggregate fund subscribed to use
here In lobbying a repeal of the income tax,
which expires by limitation next June, or, railing
m this, to prevent a continuance of that las' in a
modUled form, as ls proposed by another party.
A few representatives and seuutors have made
known their purpose of opposing thc continuance
of the btw In any Torin, and will demand that lt
will be permitted to drop from the .statute book
with the expiration or the limitation airead v fixed
by law. Ou the other hand, a large number of
Congressmen are known to be in favor of modify?
ing the law and continuing it Indefinitely. There
ls variance of opinions as to Hie exteut of modifi?
cation, some advocating two or three per cent.
Instead of five, wiih provision that no income less
than five tnousaud dollars shall be taxed; others
argue that three thousand dollars should bc the
limit.
These differences can be readily reconciled, it is
argued, and this accomplished, the majority in
both branches of Congress is very decidedly in
favor of re-enacting thc law ina modified form.
Besides the argument that the act is luquisltorial,
AC. the repealerssay lt Induces perjury, and they
offer, as illustrative of this, thc many thousands
of cases reported to tnc commissioner of internal
revenue. Oue case mentioued is where a wealthy
man returned ons hundred thousand dollars in?
come, and a corporation one hundred und fifteen
thousand; and recent official Investigation has
shown that in the first case the man's income was
over four hundred thousuud dollars, and lu
the second case the corporation's income sub?

COLUMBIA, November 24.
The Labor Convention met this evening. About
three hundred delegates were present-nearly all
black, and mostly legislators. The chairman was
R. B. Elliott, colored. The irst speakers were
Stamford and Wright, colored, and Speaker F. J.
Moses, Jr. They all counselled temperance and
moderation, bit did all they could to inflame the
passions of their hearers. Moses significantly re?
minded thc convention that thc negroes had not
obliterated by blood shed by ncjro hands the
bloody stains of ages of oppression. J. J. Wright
told thc convention that, as long as a few men
held large tracts of land, laborers would bc de?
frauded of their jnst due3. He was In favor of
dividing the lands or thc profits equally, and
wanted to show that the laborers were the equals
and superiors of the employers.
The Committee ou Organization nominated R.
B. Elliott, colored, for president; P. J. Moses, Jr.,
- Sigwald, W. J. Whipper, R. C. DcLarge, W. B.
Nash, II. J. Lomax, L. Wimbush, colored, and J.
H. Goss, white, vice-presidents; A. J. Hausier,
colored, secretary, and B. P. Jackson, white, as?
sistant, A motion to recommit was made on thc
ground that all thc officers were lawyers and poli?
tician's, and that the workingmen were not rep?
resented, especially the Charleston longshore?
men.
Turbulent speeches by Elliott, Ransler and
Whipper followed, in which the longshoremen
were denounced as making it a political conven?
tion, and their leader as trying to reenact thc
scenes of Military Hall. AU th? officers named
declined to serve except Jackson, who was elect?
ed. Elliott was then elected president, and T. F.
Clark, president longshoremen, vice-president.
Amid tremendous 'confusion, bawling and hoot?
ing, the convention was declared organized, and
adjourned*
It ls reported that Criss veil A Co. will resist
the cancelmeut of the Blue Ridge contract, on
thc ground that their delay was caused by un?
avoidable circumstances.
The bill to repeal the township law will doubt?
less be passed; there are only five votes against
it in the House.
.In the Senate, Donaldson Introduced a bill to
authorize the Legislature to purchase the lot on
Meeting street, known os thc Clubhouse, for
United States Courthouse, which received Rs first

the Comet Sur Light Infantry.
At 1 o'clock Governor Scott sent In his message,
which was read and referred. After which both
Houses adjourned.
The Governor's Message.
The message opens with a nourish of felici?
tation to the members of the General Assembly
upon their occupancy of the new legislative quar?
ters in thc unfinished Statehouse, and thc hop?
ls expressed that the lustrous beauty of the nqft
halls may be "typical or the brightening pros?
perity of our beloved State, of her unstained hju
or and untarnished credit, and may witness the
purity, the patriotism and the wisdom of her
councils, until her principles are as Unaly estab?
lished as the foundations of this edifice, and peace
and prosperity prevail within her borders."
AN IXCORUUITIliLK ADMINISTRATION-UK FAVORS
A RSDUCTION OK TAX RS.
The Governor then proceeds to boast of the Im?
proved condition of the finances of south caroli?
na, which, with wonderful effrontery, he attri?
butes to the refusal of the Legislature to yield to
the gentle Influences of Individuals and corpora?
tions seeking state aid for railroads. HevirtU;
onsly exhorts thc Legislature to persevere In the
same Incorruptible course. A cheap bid tor popu?
larity, in the shape of a declaration m favor o: a
reduction of the United States Internal revenue
tax (what has Governor Scott to do with that?)
is followed up by this paragraph :
When the present State Government came Into
power wo found that the Provisional Government
controlling thc State from tho close of tho war
had contracted many debts, for the prompt pay?
ment of which, as well us to meei thc current
expenses of the State Government, it was neces?
sary to provide. Among the hal?.Inks was a
floating debt amounting to $477,983 SO. This debt
! was due to various county officials- sherill's,
! magistrates, coroners and oilier claims against
the State. By authority of law there hail also
been put in circulation bills receivable to the
amount of $222,000. In addition to this was Hie
past due interest on the State debt, which had
accrued from theist of July, 1807. All of these
various amounts have been paid, and thc bills
receivable redeemed. At the present time there
is but a small floating debt that Hie Slate Treas?
urer WlU bc compelled lo meet. Owing to these
payments thc expenses of the state Government
were heavier hist j ear than they will be for the
present fiscal year, and the assessment ol taxes
may therefore be considerably reduced lor the
coming year, and the tax burden upon the vari?
ons branches of industry made lighter than the
taxes of almost any other State.
HIS ACCOUNT Ol' VIII: STATK I)HUT.
Tlie leading figures or thc State debt are given
as follows:

The Governor adds:
During th? past fiscal year, at a season, too,
wheii our capitalists, merchants, farmers, me?
chanics and others had all their money Invested
in their various branches of business, a iiiilUon
of dollars for taxes was received into tho State
Treasury. To more fully illustrate tbs ability ui
our people to meet all necessary taxes, we m u
refer also to the payment by oar oitlaeos into tba
Federal Treasury, a-; Internal revea ie, a tax
amounting to the sum of $2,d22,cjo es-making
an aggregate af taxes paid into tu State sud
Federal Treasuries the past year of over
and a hair ralliions of dollars.
TOE CREATION OP A SINKING FUND.
There arc In thc Stine Treasury $2,754,
railroad honda and other securities, which
otntnend be held and ultimately used as a
ing fund for the liquidation of the State dc
they are of a class and character which mn
crease in value. In addition to this, I wouh
gest the propriety of taking iuto considei
the very able plan devised by J. (?. Holmes,
of Charleston, to provide for a small sit
fund, by which thc entire State debt may bc
off by thc redemption annually of a small an
of State securities. It ls believed that this
would enable us to pay our entire debt in ?
years, and would convince mottled me
home and abroad, of our determination to pr
for the pmtnpt payment of all our secnrltii
they become due." The State being sovereig
action eau be brought against it to enforce
ment of claims against, her. Its credit, t
Tore, and the price of its bonds, depend upi
resources, the honor and good faith of thc
Government. The credit of thc State shou
regarded ss a sacred trust.
SPHCIK PAYMENTS.
Thc Governor advocates the policy of the
paying thc interest on its debt in gold, u
that this course would assist very material
bringing gold and currency on a par. This
sure, he says, would attract foreign capita
courage immigration, and lift the credit
prosperity of thc State. No section of cou
he adda, is so well prepared to both pay in
and demand gold In return for the produc
thc soil furnished to the markets of the worl
INSURANCE COMPANIES AND BANKS.
The message Recommends that aUjj insui
companies doing business in the State, as wi
all banking institutions other than nat
banks, b;- required to deposit with the Compti
General sufficient security to protect thc pi
holders or depositors against loss.
A BO ITt1 Tin: BLUB RI DOB RAILROAD.
In regard iii thc Glue Ridge Railroad, thc
ernor says:
At the special session of the General Assei

The company concluded to advertise ror

was a blunder, and conceived without thought

not Injuriously affect the value or our securities ?
the market, as many will not fully undcrstati
that the assistance "to thc Blue Ridge Rallron
would be o contingent liability, that the Sta

SWAMP LANDS AND THU LAND COMMISSION.
The message Indulges in some speculations i
to the possibility of draining and reclaiming tl
swamp lands or the State, and a rose-coiore
I picture is drawn of thc grand results which th
execution or such a scheme would bring abonl
Passing then to the more practical subject or Hi
operations ?r the new Lund Commission, th
Governor says:
Up lo the present Hine lhere have boen pur
chased in the several counties, for ibo purpose ti
thc Land Commission, 41,000 acres of laud, wine!
is now lu process of survey and division luti
tracts of eligible siz>: for pure.?asers ami occti
liants. I recommend an additional appropri?t im
to this beneficent object, of securing home
for the worthy and Industrious mechanic um
laborer, which will establish many small lar
mers ls thu place of mu comparatively ms
heretofore holding that relation, anti consequent
ly will insure tho netter cultivation of the so:! um
I thc expend? ture of a greater portion of i heir 'earn
! tugs ai hume, instead of being dissipated in lux
nry ami extravagance in distant cities. Tin
bonds issued lor the purposes of the Land Coin
mission must become of lirsi-elass security, ai
they will not only h ive thc credit of the Slat
but the money arising from the sales of the lauds
with their Improvements as au uddilloual guar
antee. Theauiiual Instalments of paynieuts foi
these lauds will bo ample to meet the Interest on
them, as well as to provide a sinking fund foi
their redemption at maturity, without the possi?
bility or Having to resort io taxation for that pur.
pose. Their baute, therefore, cnn ha\e no possi?
ble injurious Influence on Hie credit of the state,
but should rather enhance it, as thc subdivisions
or large bodies orland, much or it uncultivated,
Into small und productivo ranas would ai once
treble its value and afford an increased basis of
taxation to the same extent.
TUB HOMESTEAD QUESTION.
On thc subject of homestead relier, thc message
says:
Tue law securing a homestead worth one thous
and dollars, with the produc?s thereof, and live
hundred dollars worth of other personal property
to each head ufa family whose property may lie
levied upon for debt, commues tu rulhl its beuefl
cent design, but there ls uu sufficient reasons
why its benefits should bc restricted to Hie land?
holder. The professional man, the mechanic, tho
farmer aud tho laborer, are equally ctn iii. <i to its
advantages, AI present the proprietor of
tho homestead may rent ??ut portions of it to the
farmer, the mechanic and the laborer; and if
by sick.less or misfortune they should get b Mind
hand, their little property is liable to seizure,
liven tho food provided :or his family m.iy i?
taken from them, and they cx|ielled trout meir
humble .shelter nu l exposed tu tho severities of
waiter ami all this while their landlord ls enjoy,
lug in comfort the munificent bounty ol tho S ate.
This is neither right nor just, nor lu accordance
with sound public policy. The poor, tu?! unfortu?
nate ?HUI Hie helpless, should ever INS the special
ob eels m* public rogar i. I therefore recommend
to y.mr favorable consid?ration tim propriety ol
BO amend ng thu llomeste d law that Us princi?
ples should ne applied to iii? laboring classes, and
that the personal property of tho urofessioual
man, the farmer, ilf: mechante aaa laboring niau.
lucluding their books, tools, implements, cattle
clothing, rurnltnre and provisions, shall be ex?
empt from seizure and salo for debt to the
amount of Ave huudred dollars. This will only
be carrying out in good faith the principles es?
tablished by the homestead, and extending to all
the beneiiis and exemptions now con tined to
comparatively few.
TUE ANTAGONISM OP LABOIl AND CAPITAL-A
SPECIMEN DBMAUOOI E.
This brings Governor Scott to his pet theme.
He says :
Among the evils of civilization may bc deemed
the antagonism of capital and labor, and thc
strifes and conflicts which generally accompany
it. Perhaps In no portion of our Republic has
this antagonism been more imperiously enforced
and more distinctly recognized than in South
Carolina, where, among the large landed proprie?
tors, who owned, toa great extent, the soil and
controlled its legislation, thc laborer, whether
while or colored, was considered ona level with
the slave, and if there was any discrimination lt
was in favor of the slave, who generally had au
owner, and. therefore, a protector in the con?
trolling class, while the white laborer owned
himself and had to care for himself, and no soli?
citude was fell, for him, except upon the eve of
?ttl election, when his vote was wanted. If taint?
ed willi the blight of labor, it was of no conse?
quence bow intelligent or worthy in other re?
spects Hie individual might be. au interdict like
that which expelled onrilrat parents from Kilcn
rested on him, and the remark of some rosy
lipped malden, he is only a mechanic, has been
the flat of ostracism to many a promising and
aspiring young man from the charmed circle of
gooil society, and frequently of exile from friends
and home to a community where labor was not a
disgrace, nor being a mechanic disreputable,
ci Hie exteul of Hus vital loss to Hie South, some
estimate may be made (rom the fact that, in ad?
dition lo the many thousands scattered through
out the \Ve<t, there are upwards of seventeen
thousand Southerners, a goodly portion of whom
are from South Carolina, al the present moment
devoting their talents and energies lo the build?
ing up ami extending the already enormousbusi
m .-s of the City of Ne?- York.
And yet many of Hie class whose former domi?
nance was so baleful to the general Interest and
prosperity of the state, insensible to the afflictive
lessons ol' the ordeal through Which they have so
recently passed, learned nothing, forgetting
HOI hing, nor realizing ihat they ure only the
shadows nf the power they once exercised, while
not only their sceptre hut their dominion is rap?
idly passing from them into the hands of the
speculator and the money lender,'and of those
who feed and ratten upon tia: vices, Hie weak?
nesses and the misfortunes of mankind.
Hui notwithstanding the decrepitude and de?
cay of so large a portion of our former property
holders, the moated influence still weighs ita
strength lu opposition to the rights of labor, and
availing itself of thc resources ut its command,
has assumed not only to determine the wages of
Hie laborer, but to lix his social status und lo
treat him as a subordinate and as an iuferlor and
dependent, to be coerced Into Submission by the
dread that resistance would result in the loss of
employment to himself and of bread lo his family.
And the workingman, like the bridled horse, un?
conscious of his strength, has been content to
occupy the abject position assigned to him of toil
and drudgery, of penury and degradation, for
the scanty means of subsisteucc doled cul to him.
while bis children have grown up uneducated and
nnreflncd, without the means ol improving their
condition, reckless of thc past, hopeless of thc
future.
Hut although In these straggles hitherto thc ad?
iare liss generally been with the capitalist, the
workingmen, by realizing the Importance of con?
centrated effort and of proper organization, are
meeting their employers on more equal grounds,
Insisting that they shall have a voice in determin?
ing nie value of their labor, and in inanv Instan
ces these demands have been complied willi.
Success has encouraged ol hera who are pressing
toward the same goal, and lam cheered lu the
hope that the day ls not distant when thc em?
ployer aad employed will realize that they aro
mu? nally dependent on each other; that the
rights of one and the interests nf the other are
perfectly compatible and equally deserving of
recognition and respect, and iHat ?ill will acqui?
esce in the sentiment that a fair day's work is
entitled to a fair day's wages. In communities
where the system of compulsory labor existed,
the antagonism of labor and Capital was greatly
aggravated, the capitalist beinjr the master and
the laborer his slave, whose labor and person
alike were under lils control, and who regarded
lum but too frequently only In his legal relation
of a chattel, in whom he had no other Interest
and felt no other sympathy than the amount of
labor he could exact from him, or what he could
sell him for In thc market.
Hut Mus system ol' coercion ?ud degradation
which defied thc claimsof humanity and the re?
straints of law, and which in debasing labor, In?
juriously affected all, both white and colored, who
lived by lt, was. in the order of a wise und benell
ceut Providence, suddenly stricken mortally and
Irretrievably to the earth, the relations or master
and slave were instantaneously abolished, aud
the workingman was made free to dispose of his
person and his labor In whatever direction or
manner he might deem most advantageous, while
in many eases a remnant of the old habits re?

large majority are yet loth? to recognize thc full
equality before thc law of their former slaves, and
grudgingly dole out tu theui thelracaaly earnings
as tho igh it was a gratuity and not a right, and
their d Ucrential courtesy is bat too frequently re?
paid with arrogance, exaction and abuse. These
exhibitions of bitte ru ess and injustice are greatly
to bc deplored, and require Hie prompt and'etfec
lual interposition of law to protect the working
mau in his rights, and to enable him to fully re?
alize that he ls tho owner of his own labor and en?
titled to a fair compensation for it; that he is
thc protector pf his wife and children: that his
hornets his sanctuary, where none can molest him
or make him afraid;and (hat he ls secure in his
right of life, liberty and thc pursuit of napp!

lt should be the earnest effort of every man to
secure a home, however humble, for himself ami
family, and add to tis comforts gradually from his
earnings, ll Is earnestly lo be hoped that facili?
ties for acquiring such homes will be greatly aug?
mented, nod that an increased number of Indus?
trious and deserving persons may soon be settled
on their little farms, with the pleasant conviction
that their labor is for their own benefit and thal
of their families. I!y settling In neighborhoods in
contiguity to each other, they can avail them?
selves of the beucflts of association for educa?
tional ami industrial Objects, and also for the pur?
poses of pr-.tedion.
I earnestly recommend, therefore, the passage
of such laws us will protect the workingman
from thc rapacity and dishonesty or his em?
ployer. Mon who have been faithful and diligent
in fuimilng their contracts br (Hitting in mid lay?
ing by thc crops, as was universally admitted al

sity for their labor has somewhat relaxed have
been driven from the plantation upon some
frivolous pretext .uni ail compensation for their
lab.ir refuse! them. And these outrages are
palliated and excused by sonic of the very Journ?
als Who were previously loudest in praise of Hie
laborers. Thus at tho close or the season, with?
out money and without employment, the laborer
is thrown upon society, to beg or starve, to be.
come depredators on Hie community, and candi
dates for our jads and penitentiary.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The remainder of the message ia made up of
paragraphs on what may be called routine topics,
such as tho census, the university and public
buildings, the asylum* for the Insane and for thc
.leaf, dumb and blind, education, quarantine, ami
the penitentiary. Concerning pardons, thc cov
eruor says that thc number granted in the last
year has been unusually large, but Justifies thc
granting of thom on '.he ground tiru they were
indispensable io preserve the civil rights of thc
partios concerned-which means, probably, that
he could not lose Hie chance lo transmogrify
condemned felons into good Radical partisans.
The message submits for thc consideration of tho
(leneral Assembly tho propriety of exempting
from taxation lor live years all capital hereafter
invested In manufactures, lt als:> urges the
passage of a law providing for the binding out ol'
apprentices. Governor Scott ventilates, at some
length his peculiar views of social selene:. He
declares thal "the great necessity of thu South
is tho want of practical men and women," and
attributes thc lack of them to "tho noxious lu
linen cc of slavery."

Secretary Bout well's Programme-Gold
and Silver In 1871.
A Washington dispatch to the New York
World says: .
From semi-olllclal sources I have ascertained
that, after some consultation with leading New
York bankers and aHo with Western financiers,
Secretary Poutwell lias decided to submit at an
parly day-probably in lils annual report-thc
following programme mr a return to specie pay?
ments to tile consideration of Congress:
L The national banks to redeem their notes for
greenbacks by July 1,1870.
2. The government to redeem its greenbacks in
gold after January 1,1S71.
3. Free banking for all parties upon bonds bear?
ing interest at 4 per cent. In gold.
4. This point ls not quite settled. There ls some
division lu regard to the question whether the
banks shall be permitted to Issue notes as now.
or whether the United States shalt take o' arge of
all circulation by the issue of greenbacks on a
plau somewhat similar to that of the Bank of
England, lt ls. however, understood that no
greenbacks of a smaller denomination than five
or ten dollars will be Issued.
The free-banking clause of this programme,
which finds great favor among those who have
been permitted to see lt, was inserted to satisfy
thc Western States, where the greatest obstacles
to a resumption of specie payments now exist.
-Eight sheets nf .I. E. Schmidt's new Athis of

meeting of German astronomers ut Vienna, and
were highly praised. The atlas consists of twen?
ty-five plates, each six feet live Inches in dimen?

the more perfect accuracy of thc new plates, lt
is stated that thirty thousand craters are marked
on them, while only live thousand arc delineated

OTIS J. CHAFES-Born lu Newport, R. L, for

ber: aged 54 years.
The name ol' OTIS .1. CHAFKE was the synonym
of all that was noble and pure lu manhood, ten?
der and devoted in the husband, wise and ad'ec
tiouatc in the father. Though enjoying lu un
eminent degree thc respect and esteem of all who
knew him, It was In private life, in the home cir?
cle, that lils virtues shone with peculiar lustre.
Winning the love urn! admiration of those whose
privilege It was to know him lhere.
The Christian gentleman, he beaiititlcd each
Character he Ulled. When MI ricken Wy sudden
disease, Iii the midst of platts which promised a
successful fm ure, no complaint escaped bini.
When months and years of suffering lind passed,
und Hie seal of u Mortal malady was plainly visi?
ble in the emaciated form and feeble step, "only
walting" was the unmurmuring response to the
solicitude of friends, who bewailed hisdec liu lug
health.
Only walting 'till thc reapers
Have the last Mieaf gathered home
For the summer time is faded
md the auiuuiu winds have come.
Quickly, reapers, gather quickly
The last ripe hours or my heart,
For the bloom of lire is luded
Aud 1 hasten to depart.
Only walting 'till the angels
Open wide the mystic gate,
At whose feet I long have lingered,
Weary, weak and desolate.
Even now I hear their footsteps,
Hear their voices far away,
If they call me, 1 am waiting,
Only wailing to obey.
And when the angel voices were very near, call?
ing him to leave those he had loved so fondly,
without fear or doubt did he obey the summons.
With the Christian's faith, he calmly uttered these
words-O, blessed words, more precious to wile
und children than stores of earthly treasure :
"I am passing through thc dark valley, but Jesus
ls with me ami / will not be afraid." Then turn?
ing on his pillow, "to sleep," the dear ones weep?
ing around lum soon knew that he would awake
only lu the likeness ot that Saviour whose love
had guided and supported him to the end.

pSr WE LIVE IN THREE CLIMATES.
In this country we have, at different seasons of
thc year, thc temperature of three climates. Our
springs und autumns have a softness and mild?
ness that belong only to tho Temperate Zones;
our miil-suiumers are torrid, and our mld-wiutcrs
almost arctic in their frigidity. These changes,
involving a variation of from ninety to one hun?
dred degrees of Fahrenheit during the year, are,
upon the whole, conducive to health and long life,
but they loud to entail upon us some distressing
complaluts which can only be escaped by thc ex?
ercise of due care and the use of a proper anti?
dote when the system ls predisposed to contract
them. The chief and most annoying of these dis?
orders ls dyspepsia, once supposed to be Incura?
ble, out which, since the introduction Ot 1IOSTET
TBR'S STOMACH HITTERS, now abftut twenty
years ago, has proved to be a perfectly managea?
ble disease.
iii i li? spring and fall, hut more especially In
thc fall, Ihesyinloms of dyspepsia are generally
aggravated. The profuse expenditure of the ani?
mal Quids under the buming sun of summer, is
apt to leave thc stomach weak und indolent and
incompetent to thc task of perfect digestion. It
requires a tonic which will rouse lt from its leth?
argy and brace and Invigorate without, irritating
or inllntuing lt. This tonic has been provided in
tile wonderful vegetable preparation which has
replaced In a great measure, all the old palliatives
formerly prescribed by physicians, under the
false idea that the disorder could not be radically
cured. Thc success of HOSTETTER'S BITTERS
In all the varieties of dyspepsia, acute or chronic,
lias clTectually exploded this fallacy, and it ls now
recommended as a spcclllc for indigestion hy
