DAWSON A CO.. No. 149 East Bay, Charleston, S.C. FRIDAY, MARCH 24, 1871. NEWS OE THE JO AT. -Gold at New York yesterday closed at Halli. -The New York cotton market closed steady at 16^0; sales 4864 bales. -At Liverpool, noon, cotton was firmer; up? lands 7ja7?d; sales 13,000 bales. -Mr. W. D. Mann has sold his interest in the Mobile Register to Mr. Isaac Donovan. Hon. John Forsyth remains its editor. ? -A merchant In Indiana who recently cele? brated ?ls "wooden wedding," was presented among other things with 10,000 feet of lumber and thirteen large poplar logs. -The New York Tribune truthfully remarks that the Presidential campaign of 1872 will be "the moat Inluriated contest" we have ever had, owlrg to feuds existing In the Republican ranks. -The health of Chief Justice Chase is im? proving slowly, but not the less surely and steadily. The hope of his' complete recovery seems certain to be realized, before the meet? ing of the Supreme Court next winter. -AbiU now before the Wisconsin Assem? bly provides that whenever eleven Jurors, Im? panelled to try any criminal case or cIvU ac? tion, shall agree upon a verdict, such agree? ment, duly announced in court, shall be taken and held to be the verdict ol tho whole jury. -Robert Chambers, the celebrated publish? er, who has Just died In Edinburgh, worth, lt Is said, some ?600,000, began life as a poor boy, entire!) dependent OB his own exertions, laying the foundations ol' his fortune by open? ing a small circulating library with a little borrowed money. -8t. Louis, Mo., it ts stated, has become the great depot ol Brazilian coffee for the supply of the West, the Importations being made by way of New Orleans and the Mississippi River. Coffee brought by this route, it is said, can be sold from a quarter to half a cent per pound uniter the prices of the Atlantic cities. -The Richmond Dispatch says that the work Ot cutting out and deepening Butler's caual across Dutch Gap has fairly commencer!. . The contractor who has undertaken the work obli? gates himself to.flnlsh it In ninety days. This will shorten the distance to Norfolk bv river about seven miles. -The New York Sun, which ls nothing if not erratic and sensational, proposes Charles Sum? ner anthe Democratic candidate for the Presi? dency in 1872. It says : "He would carry all ?the New England States, all the Southern States, and pretty nearly aU the remaining States. Indeed, we cannot name a State with any confidence which would vole against him If he were the Democratic candidate." -The New York papers remonstrate against a bul lately Introduced In the Assembly of that State to enable tho losing defendant In a di-, vorce suit to marry again, at the discretion of the court, after three years have elapsed from tb^date ol the decree. The virtual effect of sach a measure, lt is shown, would simply be to legalize the moral and social leprosy known as Ree love.- New Yorkers will soon not need lo go to Indiana to get all they may want In the way of divorce taclllties. -Judge DowUng, of New York, has com? menced to send to prison the bogus green back otherwise called the "sawdust" swin? dlers. Thu nefarious trade has flourished so long In New York that citizens began to doubt whether they ever would be suppressed, and it is, therefore, a source or pleasure to know that the good work has commepced. If lt wore only possible to imprison those who encourage these swindlers, tbe Jails would be almost Ailed with a precious lot of scoundrels. JtttnV?tta of the oyster beds ol the Chesa? peake and its tributaries ls computed to em? brace S00O acres. These beds yield to com? merce about 23,000,000 of bushels annually, and lt ls stated that a sufficient quantity be j aides is taken to form the chief provender of 20,000 persons. We learn, from a review of the oyster trude of Baltimore for the last year, UraMhe capital employed In that city la carry? ing on the canning alone of the oyster is $10. 000,000. About 8,000,000 bushels of oysters are consumed by the pacKers. one-fourth of which are packed raw in cana and shipped to various points, packed in ice, while the re? mainder: are steamed slightly and sealed her? metically in cans of one, two and three pounds each. The manufacture of packiug oases, tin cans, the printing of labels, Ac, constitutes in itself an immense revenue aud gives employ? ment to thousands of persons. -A Washington dispatch of Tuesday last says : "To-day Senators Robertson and Sawyer -accompanied D. H. Chamberlain, att.oruey - general of South Carolina, and u C. Carpenter to the Executive mansion, the two last named having been delegated by the Governor of that State to visit the President on the subject of affording protection to the peop'e iii the upper counties of South Carolina, uear the North ?CarJina Une. Mr. Chamberlain represented the condition of affairs in that section, nod de" sired to know how lonu tbe lour companies of oavalry, now on their way thither, would re main there, lor, he said, il their sojourn was only lor a brief p.-rlod lt would do nu ire harm than good. The President llsieneo patiently lo the representations made to him. and assured these gentlemen the troops should remain there long enough to restore peace and secure obedience to the laws, even If they should be thus employed during the remainder of his administration. The gentlemen expressed themselves satisfied, and will to-morrow leave tor home. When Senator Robertson was asked by the delegation to accompany them, be cheer? fully consented, saying that as the representa? tive of all classes in South Carolina, he would do anything In MB power to secure an audience with the President, and he would render a like service to all others who sought a remedy for persecutions of which they complained." -The following very gratifying intelligence comes to us from Washington: "The Demo? cratic strength in the House will be increased to one hundred members by the gain in New Hampshire, and the decision of the committee on election to-day is in favor of Edwards, Democrat, whose seat was contested. Three more are expected from the Connecticut elec? tion, two from California, and two from Texas, which will mase the House stand at the next session, 136 Republicans, to 107 Democrats. / - there are 246 members, and a majority Is 122, the Democrats will then only lack fifteen votes to control the House. However, with their present number, which destroys the two thirds rule, and the reinforcements they are constantly receiving from the Revenue Re? form Republicans, they have thus far in the session carried every measure they have brought forward, and defeated the attempts of the Radicals at extreme legislation.'' The Taxes. There is unrest and deep-rooted discon? tent in the crowded city, in the quiet coun? try village, and under the roof-tree of every upright citizen of the State. The heart of the people is touched. Their wives and children are threatened with starvation, or a dependence upon public charity. A?d the whole cause and. reuson is expressed in the one word, TAXATION--a taxation which is tan? tamount to CONFISCATION. The people have endured in silence the oppression of arbi? trary and unequal laws. They have seen i ? the last semblance o? constitutional liberty melting away, and have not stricken down the official despota who would make a Gol? gotha of South Carolina. They have been insulted and trampled upon by the horde of negroes, and foreign adventurers, whom Re? construction put in authority over the State, and have contented themselves with praying for deliverance. This people have hoped against hope, and have awaited with gloomy I dignity the relief which does not come. Their reward is that our motley legislators are encouraged to greater crimes against the public good. As the fruit of four years of obedience and peace, it is proposed to wring from the people before next winter the enormous som of $4,000,000 dollars. This is for State and county taxes alone. The municipal taxes would add another mil? lion to the score. According to the last report of the Comp? troller-General, the assessed value, for taxa? tion, of all the real and personal property in the State, is $183,913,367. And, in all these calculations, it must be borne in miad that, in South Carolina, real and personal prop- J erty ls everywhere taxed at its fidl market value, and is, in many parts of the State, taxed upon au assessment three and Jour times as great as the actual market valae. The rate of taxation for State purposes, for the fiscal year 1870, is nine mills on the dol? lar. This tax is now payable, and i9, in fact, over-due. The tax for the year 1871 is seven mills on the dollar. This tax, as the law stood, would have been payable in March, 1872, but, at the session just ended, the General Assembly changed the time of collection, and made the tax of 1S71 payable in November neut. The people, therefore, are called upon to pay as State tuxes, during the current year, 9 mills on the dol? lar Tor 1870 and 7 mills for 1871. The tax of 9 mills amounis lo $1,647,000, and the tux or 7 mills to $1,281,000. The people are required to pay for State taxe3, between March and November of this year $2,928,009 -more than seven times as much as the State taxatiou before the war, when the State was prosperous and the people were rich. But this is not all. To the Slate tax must be added the county taxes for 1870 and 1871, which are, also, payable between March and November. The rate of county taxes for 1870 is 3 mills on the dollar, with an ex? ception made in favor of seven counties, which pay four mills, and of four counties which pay five mills. This county taxation for 1870 amounts to $618,047. For 1871 the county tax is 3 mills, or $549,000. Adding the amounts together we find that the tax? payers are called upon to pay, this year, the following amounts : State tax, 1870.$1,647,000 State ta\, 1S71. 1,281,000 County tax, 1870. 618,047 County tax, l?7i. 519,000 Total..$4,095,047 And eveu thia amount is exclusive of the poll tax of oue dollar, which add3 3300,000 to the general est?mate. The negroes pay uo taxes-not even thc poll tax. Omitting from the calculation the taxes paid l>y State officials, who steal with one baud one hundred times as much as they pay to the State with the other, we find that the white people of the State are called upon to pay, in about niue months, no Ies3 than $4.250,000, which is more than 2 i per cent, upon the assessed value of the property in the Slate, and is leu limes aa much aa the gros3 amount of tuxaliou be?ure f the war, when the assessed value of ihe reu! ? and personal property iii South Carolina (ac? cording lo the United .-tates census of I860) was $489,000,000-luken ut far less lb au its market price. Ia other words, while the vain? or the property of the white people of the S'uie is reduced from $459,000,000 tu $183,000,000, the amount rained by taxation ia increased from $400,000 to FOUR MILLION TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOL" LAB?. This is a TAXATION which is tantamount to CONFISCATION. The Signal Bureau. It is pleasant to note the lively interest which the Charleston merchants and ship? masters take in the efforts of the Signal Bu? reau to complete the valuable weather re? porta regularly furnished ta the dally press. We are glad, therefore, to chronicle the fact that vice-President Tupper, of the Chamber of Commerce, has appointed a committee, consisting o? Messrs. "E. H. Frost, W. P. Hall and F. W. Dawson, who will co-ope? rate with the Signal Bureau in extending and perfecting the meteorological service. Ser? geant Evans, the Observer in this city, is a highly intelligent officer, and the .Charleston record is intelligently and accurately kept. THE Columbia Phoenix says that Senator Robertson "is not the only member of the "Radical party of this State, who, after sub? ordinating the intelligent white people of "South Carolina to a degrading and corrupt "rule, and after thus dissolving the bonds ol "society, now seeks to relieve himself of the "responsioility for the present state of things "by throwing upon the ostracised portion of "the State the onus of a disturbed state of "society." The Xu-Klui Bill. The New York Evening Post, a Republi? can paper, says that the question at issue between the advocates of Mr. Butler's reign of terror in the Southern States and its op? ponents is simply whether a desirable end justifies-the use of criminal, ciuel and un? lawful means. Shall the constitution be thrown aside, the form of our government revolutionized, and a military despotism substituted for it over half the land, in order that the Southern people may be prevented from breaking the peace among themselves? The Tribune asks : "Has the Republic a 'right to defend its own life?" The ques? tion is a good one : "Has the Republic the 'right to defend its own life?" but the answer is not, as the Tribnne would have us believe, "Yes, by committing suicide." If the life of the Republic is threatened by a few mobs in country villages, what becomes of it when the constitution is repealed, and the General Government usurps the powers of aU the local and municipal authorities? j ?Harrie?.

WILSON & BROTHES will issue at an early day a Catalogue of the FINE GROCERIES with which their establishment ls stocked! But at present they desire to call attention more especially to an extract from "The American Grocer," relative to the great Tea swindles which are now being foisted upon the American peo? ple. All lovers of Tea should peruse the remarks of the editor of the able Journal from which the extract ls taken, and be warned in time. Referring to the large Tea Companies of New York City, the writer says: "I nave now lu my possession a sample of bogan Tea, wit bout one single leaf of t he original Chi? nese Herb to adulterate it with. It was made for a Monster House, sold to a Monster House, used by a Monster House, and distributed by the base, corrupt myrmidons of that self-same Monster House throughout the United States of America to do Its deadly work of gradually poisoning the free, yee unprotected, people or your Great Re? public." The citizens or Charleston who wish to avoid using the poisonous compounds, too often sold under .the name of Tea, should take the precau? tion of purchaslog only from responsible houses, which have au established reputation for dealing In PURE TEAS.
