The following is the report tit City Appraiser Coogan, which was presenteil to Council last evening, and which was ordered to be published in the d ali y papers of the city : OFFICE OF CITY APPRAISER, 1 CITT HALL, CHARLESTON, January l, 187L J . To the Honorable t?o Mayor and Council : t I respectfully submit herewith the following sta'einent of thc transactions of this department for the year ending on the 31st day of December, 1870, pfemlsine which, however, I wou'd say In remarle, explanation or suggestion, that'although lt is granting to notice the nearer approach of full return of all property In the city by the own? ers or agents thereof than as last year, there are still In default to the amount of $30,570 non re<urned, against $6S1,650 in 1869, when most of the property now In default was not claimed as taxable by the etty, being above Shepherd street, and some as farms. Except, 'hm awaiting action of thc courts, most all in default ol'return la in the upper or north? western part of the city, and is so In common or connected", without fence or other mark of boun drry discrimination, as to defeat completely r.rery effort to describe, locate or identify lt, and equally so to ascertain the ownership thereof in some cases, all of which must continue to he so until properly surveyed and discrimin? ated. There are some also who think and say, the acts ofihe Legislature and ordinances of the city to the contrary notwithstanding; that they are not liable for taxes above Shepherd Btreet, nor for farms lu that part or the city above Calhoun street-a matter whl"h wHl work disagreeably ir not prejudicially tia positively dc ilded. Some | j complaints have been made by persons from va? rious parts or thc citj or over valuation or prop? erty, which were sei.t to Council, whose decision thereon I am not aware or; but anticipating some such appeal this year-as such has ever been and ever will be, I suppose-I mention tile subject for I j consideration in making the next bill or supples and taxation for 1871. The remarkable difference between the number or dogs returned ror taxation and those for which | | badge* or licenses have been taken out is ob? viously caused by non observance or compliance with the license law, and ought to be corrected. In concluding this introduction to the report 1 am happy In acknowledging that the efforts of lids omce to ?et asl Je all possible inconveniences heretofore thereto' pertaining, and to esta'ush greaterTacllltles for those having business with lr, has been fully and satisfactorily reciprocated by the alacrity and promptness of the great bulk of the eutlre citizens in performance of their paru to the corporation.

To these considerations, and some labor ia producing their result, I was not voluntaiiiy or willingly, but irre sisttbly attracted and forced by the ever-present, danserons and threatening magnitude of this debt, ir the effort prove equal or favorable to the end intended-thc relief md regeneration-or our city from her oppressed condition-I snail feel the satisfaction of having essayed the desire to do my part of a duty common to every citizen. I offer lt thus that all may examine, and ir jadged feasible, that steps may be soon taken to Its accomplishment; or else, that ir lt be not the best, that lt may urge those more competent to the consideration and si lutlon of this suhject so paramouu: to all others for this cltyH? future weal or woe. Upon this aubiect much has been already said, and although the result desired has not been folly accomplished, what has been said bas done much to reveal and expose to unmistakable view the real cause of the onorotf9 taxation bf the people. Here tofore, the burden ot our taxes was laid to the charge of extravagance of the adratnlstatlon, and every other Imaginable cause than the trne one. The magnitude or the debt Is now plainly be? held by all who wish to turn their eyes or thoughts that way, and lie,.of Charleston, who does not, may well be compared to the mariner who, though provided with every nautical Indica? tor or the approaching storm, rests listless upon his couch while his rated ship ls rorced hy adverse winds upon the furious bosom of the heav/ng deep, till dashed upon the lee-shore rocks, a help? less wreck, where all has perished. Our city, onr ihtp, ls on such a sea; she ia heavily deck laden, while her ballast ls tar too scant; on the least troubled sea, she must contlnuonsly careen from ilde to side, and should a gale arise, without she ue well maarered, manned and sailed, she will as Inevitably sink, never to rise, aa will the sun sink in .he wes; this eve to rise again to-morrow. Our debt ls heavy and toppling over us. and we ire unable to avert the Impending ruin, except by mme means not yet proposed. The now present sad condition was long ago aprehended, even before the debt was near so jreat; but, unfortunately, not before lt was fixed upon us. home time before and up to 1807. though the people were then rich, the community was so alarmed by the enormity of the then debt, that most all other matters of consideration were comparatively evanescent: and la that year they rjullt up a scheme more plausible than practlcat to rearrange the debt to be paid In yearly periods Tor twenty-five years to come, when all, it was said, would be paid by. the phantasmagoria! the? ory of a ?inlelng fantl. if there ever was a theoretic hallucination of i man's mind more opposite to the end desired than 1 my other, lt ls this delusive Idea which'so many 1 rainly fostered, of paying euch debts by means or I mch fonds. It la like adding a cumbrous, awk- 1 ward, useless wheel to .1 machine whose weight | ind friction already Jadc? the motive power that 1 aow must altogether atop. 1 For upwards or twenty years thia contemptible 1 {aggie or a sinking fond was kept up in England 1 to pay her uatioual debt. Parliament and the na- \ tlou believing, notwithstanding the most.decisive 1 experience to the contrary, that it was rapidly r diminishing the public debt. 1 Dr. Hamilton, or Aberdeen, has the merit t of having dissipated thia dehialon, the gross- < est, certainly, that ever imposed on any people. 1 He ahowed in ala work on the National debt, 1 published In 1813, that the finking fund. Instead 1 of diminishing, had really added-to thc debt; and 1 he proved ur demonstration that the excess ct i rerenue.nv taxation or otherwise, above expend!.- 1 ture, ls the only finking fund by which any part I of the debt can be discharged. "Tho increase of J revenue," lie observes, "or the diminution or ex- I pense, are the only means by which the sinking I fund can be enlarged and Its operations rendered 1 more effectual. And all the schemes for dis- I charging the National debt by sinking funds ope- 1 rating at compound interest, or in any other 1 manner, unleaa so far as they are founded upon I this principie, or by borrowing money elsewhere 1 at a -cheaper rate than at home, to redeem the I debt at present worth, are completely Illusory.'' 1 In another part he baa shown "that lt must not ; he supposed that the influence of the sinking fund 1 was negative merely, or that lt was confined to 1 the futile operation of making money to be bor- I rowed with the one hand to be loaned out with 1 the other." It Is clear that a process of this sort | could not take an atom from the pabilo debt, but 1 In point of fact lt added largely to Its amount. 1 The sinking fund has been a cosily os well as de- 1 lus Ive piece of quackery In England; proved ao 1 lally by experience and demonstration or her best . political economists, and was therefore aban? doned. . It may be safely said that the same results < would be found on proper Investigation or each 1 and every sinking rund In the world, no matter where-similar causes produce alike effects. , What kind of a balance sheet would the sinking fond of Charleston be able to show to the credit or this Institution, H called upon to-day ? It has been In existence since February 10, 1824, and perhaps before-forty-six years say. How do we now find lt? By last official report lt appears , that, during tills time, there ) as been drawn from the people and sunk In this fund the sum or $891,- , 124 33, which was invested to compound interest and pay the city debt ! The estimated value <>r ', a l the assets or this Institution, In May last, by two leading brokers of thia city, is set down at . $240,097 26, showing a loss or about seven tv-1 bree per cent, or what waa committed to it, instead of , Increase so confidently hoped for by the fothers ; ind advocates of that utopian scheme; and it ls questionable' if there would be found one doll ir, to the credit of this fond, while it ls probate thar it wonld be fomd In debt If charged with the coat - or ita machinery amtenghieers during this time. While those who Instituted this Tu nd may be held ttfimeless, having meant well though wrong ?me of it, they cannot be so deemed who still , :ouilnnelt, knowing Its folly by the experience >r forty six yeats in this case, and thc . udgments of the greatest political economists irououitced against such, as not only futile, but, pernicious, lt ls deemed proper to here briefly ! ireseo t the error of hope for any benefit to be { lerlved from Wi-se Kinking funds; first. In order ;o wind up and discontinue that ghost of it that low exists here, and next, ro admonish against luch in future, especia ly that we see In some of ! he several plans proposed to pay the city ik-br, treat reliance placed upon this rope of sand fund, vhtch ls, however, about as practicable as the .eat of these plans, and in thia there ls no dis- ' laragement meant to their authors. The rirst, thoughnot the greatest, error" In these Jlam?, lt ls thought, la lu the estimated value of ? fte city assets, which are placed at $1 soo, ooo, while ' .heynrenjut worth even. $600,000. Another ls the j dewof ad vantage of a sinking fond loto which Is mt the st?cRB bought tn, perhaps,' to swell the -, imoant of such already there, and nailed asset-, .00, as If they were obligations of some other our ?ration due this Bin king fond, and lu this way, ee: getting rich as one would, who, having re? learned his discounted notes at bank, would carefully put them away In hie strong box. and Fal' them as ao much more of his available isseu. lt they are put there In order to warrant the 1 -alslng of taxes to pay Interest on them as T they were still outstanding, while they ire really bought In and ought to be for iver cancelled, lc bor ers closely on raia ng money by taxation under raise pretence, iud ls wrong. The true reason for imposing taxes mould be made manifest to every contributor .hereof, and should ?tot be perverted from thc mrposes raised for under any such thlmble-rlg ring-legerdemain or squinting Jugglery. But when we come to that part of the Intro luctlonofone of these plans where particular it ress ls laid upon the . assurance that, "ir this lian be adopted, 'twill secure the payment of the chole debt a"iiar, Ac, Ac, in the short apace ol hlrteenyears," weare inquisitive to ask how, ind live to that time r To do that, we undertake ,0 prove by the following Agares that lt would ?equlre for the payment of the debt alone in that hue,, an annual appropriation of $529,699 io o meet the Interest and principal, though lessen ?d from $5,137,208 10 $4.691,914 bv Mic of all the laseta, and redemption of stock to that amount: A.

A ls the Interest on the remaining debt; lithe surplus appropriation la (Um mutton of the debt, while the sum ul all the inter, st and principal together Ls $6.889,988 30, or thirteen times the yearly and equal appropriation required. That the people could bear taxation to do this, and pay the coat or carrying on the government also, ls too clearly Impossible to merit a second thought. The Insufficiency or all the schemes heretofore set forth to relieve the people from this debt, or to modify itu consequent embarrassment, have been too fully proved In the second article by "Civls" In thc Republican, In a pamphlet on the whole subject, and In the general judgment of all, to warrant any hope from any of them, how? ever meritorious the efforts made; and In these ls particularly Included that all-absorbing gulf, called the sinking fund; "that ihlng that but ever swallows and that never can be hued." But though the object sought > nd so much to be desired has fallen short of rmi realization, it does not by any means follow that it cannot be yet attained. It is. Indeed, confidently believed that a plan now exists that will satisfy full pay? ment or every dollar or principal and Interest of the city debt, In two years less time than as it now stands arranged, with a saving to the city In that time or $4,566.152 70, or in each year for twen? ty-five years $182,046 io, which, with the value of Its Interest added at io per cent, simple Interest oaly, win leave tho general prosperity by that time en? hanced over ten and a hau" millions or dollars, whtlo our insufficient money foclll ties will be at once stimulated and Increased by $2,508,580, borrowed atacheap rate and payable I a small sums periodically for a long term, ir thia may aeem toogood to bebrue, it la nevertheless held to be not only practically sound, bot most simple and easy In attainment, ff lt may seem In tlie nature of a paradox that every dollar of the debt can be paid wi ti its interest also, and still save the city over four and a half millions, that, too, ls not only true, but easy to the mind's conception, as will ba shown by tabular state? ment and explanations thereon herewith pro? duced Tor examination. In all, there ls nothing proposed or needed more than 'the advautage of present circumstances Jndlcloully and timely ap? piled, with vigor and unanimity, to the accom? plishment or the Important end-desired. In order to elucidate a-problem even leas diffi? cult than this or ena city dent, and to attemot Its solution Ina safe course, lt may be besito, first carefully examine the subject ss lt now Btauds, and next to advance and applv such propositions or means as may seem best"to sur? mount d.faculties and produce the desired se sult. ? - To that wc now proceed. In column MD?.' or the subjoined table we find tho sam or the principal of the debt as it becomes dne each year, and ia AE" the principal and interest together os lt now ls-the interest is reckoned at Ave per cent., to which the city T^x reduces lt. The footing or this column shows that the debt will have drawn from the people, when all ts paid, over nine millions of dollars, which ls about two-thirds thc true raine of all the real property In this city. Kow, to change this fatal condition of our affairs to one mofe favor? able, without detriment to any, bur, as is hoped, with benefit to all, it is proposed to pay all the holders of the city stock at present, Instead of walting for date of Its maturity. To do this equitably, colamn "B" Is prepared to show the prospective value of a dollar In stock, with tts own interest ot Uve per cent, compound? ed and included at twelve per cent, per annum, to any or the periods the principal becomes due on. and "C" Is prepared to show the preaer.! equi? valent of "B" prospectively. In the sar,, ? ray "F" is the present equivalent or the sums that hecome due, with their interest compounded and Included os explained lu the case of column "B," and, therefore, the sum of "F" ls the present value of '-D," or the debt prospectively. The ob lectlnvlew In Hading the present.value of the lebt ls to attempt an illustration of a truth, quite plain when examined fairly and fully, and of ?jreat advantage in relieving the city from a large part or this debt, while every stockholder can be paid the full present value of these securities at mee. On Investigation or this, we fear not lt will ie deemed well-founded In ract. The whole ones Hon, and the advantages claimed, depends upon .lie changed condition or things. We who are so poor.y possessed or the circulating medium jf ail industrial pursuits, are certainly not the ht people to be stock or bond owners.. Money ts too -carce here for necessary use, and hence com- ? nands. nnd will continue to command till we be? come relieved and prosperous, very high Interest, ivhlle lc ts snpcraiunchint at>roa<l at very low rates, where the security IB satisfactory, indi n vidual ly. few here can give such security; hence ;he scarcity of money and the paraiyzatlon or alt ndnstry. But suppose t hat all the stock dne by ;he city was to day oirercd for r?demption at its jresent value In cash, es lt ought to be where inoney ls worth so much In ready nee, ls lt not -easonable to think that the City of Charleston irould oe deemed as good and desirable security .'or the sum needed for this purpose? Surely one irouid think so, especially when it Is known that his would be her only debt, he eby made so i mali as to warrant the self-evident conclusion of 1er immediate prosperity. Assuming this to be io, we next propose to borrow abroad the earn re? hired, which will be.$2,927,870, lesa the value or Sour available assets, or exactly (2,608,684. r this ve Issue our bonds In amounts, and pay ible In time as lu column "H" ot table, from one :o twenty-five} ears, without the-hampering pue? rility and nonsense of a sinking lund. This rill require annually $177.990 only to pay ;he principal and interest in that time, lt will be seen that the sum of columns G and-H, n each and every one of the twenty-five, years, s $177,990, and that their sums total ls what the :lty will have paid at last, or $4,449,715 26, against ?9,845,503 94, as at present arranged, lesa whatever .he taxes may be on city stock from now to that time; or, If the tax on lt be to that time as it now is. exactly $9,060,897 95, and the difference, be? tween the present condition and this i roposed, ls n favor of thc city at the end of the final pay? ment of the debt, the sum of $4,566,162 70, or per rear for twenty-five years, $182,646 10: and if xonsy saved be no lesa useful and valuable than that we borrow or bay with other commodity, it is fair to count its Interest value also in favor of the city; If we say at 10 percent, perannnm, sim? ple interest, for the time of twenty-five years anon the medium of the first annual and the final lum saved, ic would be over $6,986,988, or, If add ;d to the sum saved, In all, over $10,502,150. But If counted at compound interest, which ls its real calue, lt would be over $18,142,400. [The elaborate tabular statements, herc submit? ted by the appraiser, reached us at too late an nour for publication in this issue.-ED. SEWS.] We here see, though but ln*part, the difference m favor of thc whole people or the city In that jived without detriment to any one. Bat there ls another and great, benefit which may naturally ie hoped for to follow from this Influx of resl money, bon owed though lt be, to toke thc place M these little more than shaky collaterals for less than half their face at ruinous rates. It ls no stretch of imagination to preconceive the revitalization of an Industrious people by a iii ttl den cy of that the scarcity of which now duds them, hand and foot, to idleness; while lt would be difficult to express the accelerating In? fluence produced upon every Interest, social, com? mercial and mechanical, as lt would be to tell the mm of countless millions. If these hopes become realities, as they muy if there Is determination ind progressiveness In our people, whose united ic!ion ls alone needed to achieve this object, para? mount to all others, man has neither seen nor yet :hought of a change so favorable as this place, this old city, with all her natural advantages, ls inmediately 'hereafter bound to experience. Thia ls the time to sot, or perhaps never again, ir we go on much further In the old course to? wards the preclploe or our already Maible ruin, lt may Boon be us dltfiult for as .to stop half way 38 lt would be for one tumbling over Magara Falls lo do so on the downward course. If there be any who hope that the city can ever pay the debt as lt now ls, save by final bankruptcy, such hopea ire as vain and fruitless as wonld bean Individual effort to paddle a keeliesa skiff against a .tortuous nine-knot stream, or climb a smooth, obtuse, in. verted cune that towers high above their reach. If the State will but graut us her bonds for our railroad assets, as itu boped Bhe will, thia city san be thus redeemed at once. Under these Impressions, which dally become more Imposing, and convie: ions that but become more inttuaifled by the fullest proofs of Increas? ing deterioration of all In this place, and with the hope of dplng some good, however little it may be, this subject hus been assumed with great dir ?dence, but still with real and care if not with ability, and ls so submitted by Your obedieut servant, P.
