Loss about $100,000, probably cov? ered by Insurance. -On Sunday afternoon a fire of considerable magnitude was raging lh the woods In South Carolina, beyond Hamburg. Of its extent or damage to properly we are unadvised, but from the high wind prevailing, lt is probable that considerable destruction of fencing, etc., will result. -The New York Evening Post is angry with Congress for occupying itself almost en? tirely with Ki;-Klux bills, and thinks lt is time wasted, as they are all unconstitutional. Gen? eral amnesty lt still holds to be the best reme? dy for disorders at the South, so far as Con? gress is concerned. -Distinctions on account of color are being rapidly obliterated' In Congress. The House of Representatives contains five colored mem? bers, and on Saturday that body deposed a White boy acting as a page or messenger, and appointed a negro youth in bis place. This is the first Instance in which a colored boy has been appointed a page in Congress. ' -A telegraphic dispatch announces the death of ex-Senator Jacob H. Howard, at his residence in Detroit, Michigan; on Sunday morning,-of apoplexy, with which" he was first seized on Friday evening last. 'Senator How? ard closed his last term In the Senate at the expiration of the Forty-first Congress, on the Sd of March last He was a zealous Republi? can, able Lu argument, and especially ardent In the support of the war measures against the South during the administration of Lin? coln. Professionally, Senator Howard was a lawyer o'f considerable reputation. -The joint high commission, in full force, attended an amateur fox hunt on Saturday at the country residence of S. T. Suit, in Prince George County, Maryland, some six miles dis? tant. The rainy day interfered somewhat with the sport, but it passed off something after the English fashion. The hounds and foxes num? bered about fifty, and were brought from Vir? ginia a few weeks since. Slr Stafford Northcote won the first race and the first fox. None of the American commissioners indulged In the sport beyond being mere spectators. A dinner of fourteen courses was subsequently served to the distinguished guests. -The feature of the debate In the House on Saturday w^s the speech of Elliott, the negro member from South Carolina. Elliott had a carefully prepared speech in support of the Ku-Ktux bill, which be read, and which was listened to with much Interest It made high pretensions to learning, and exhibited a good deal of familiarity with the writings of Story and other commentators on the constitution.. Elliott delivered his speech In a sort ot pulpit j style, a id was not near so effective as when ne spoke some weeks ago extempore. The Democrats freely assert that bis speech was written for bim by Ben Butler. -tfbe Golden Age, for this week, contains tile following .remarkable statement: Swin? burne vibrates between the inspirations ot wine and the exasperations of madness, and between fear and disgust at his conduct peo? ple are forced to exclude him ti a their houses. A sip of wine beings ou the craze which goads bim into behavior setting,at naught all decency. What can be done with an illustrious young poet who. Invited to your reception, makes such havoc with the pro? prieties as to reach across the room with open Jaws to bite the bare neck ot a handsome yoong lady, whose beauty bas attracted his gaz?; or who'turns from tbe person with whom he happens to be conversing to butt his bead furiously against the wall. \ -The sentiment between the so-called Libe? ral and Clerical parties In Rome made itself violently manifest o a the 10th instant, at the Church of the jesuits, after an exciting sermon by Father Thomasl. - The disturbances were continued on the following day, when a fight took place between the parties on tbe plaza. The soldiers of ifing Victor Emanuel interfer? ed, charged upon the rioters, drove them into the church, and arrested some nineteen or twenty, including Father Callan, a priestat the altar, whom they charged with "insulting apoliceman." The prisoners of both parties were taken to the lock-up amid a booting mob, In which the anti-clerical element seemed to preponderate. The cabiPbas furnished no Intelligence of the sequel, but the event Illus? trates the state et feeling In'the Roman capi? tal under the new regime. -General Butler te about to issue, in pam? phlet form, the speech of Speaker Blaine and his reply, delivered In the House on the 16th of Maren,' concerning the appointment of a special committee to investigate the condition of the Sooth dnrlng the recess. He will also publish his celebrated letter, which brought on this memorable set-to. General Butler, .kian explanatory note, asserts that a combination was made among certain Be publicans in*the House, of whom Speaker Blaine was tbe lead? er, to prevent the passage of any bill for the suppression ol'Southern outrages. HM intends, lt ls stated, to circulate half a million copies or this pamphlet In order to. head off Blaine's ' presidential aspirations. Tb? speaker; on the I other hand, rt is .alleged, will leave General ' utter out When lie appoints the House com- I mlttees, or at least place him In Bubordinate t positions* aa a punishment for his fight with i the speaker. - i tte Augusta Constitutionalist contains an accountofalynelilagln Washington County, Ga., on Tuesday Dight last which says : From ( ?-private letter from Sandersville,- Washing- "* ten County,, under date bf Wed hes tray, we are ( advised of a shocking occurrence which- took ' place there on Tuesday night. Last week tue { barn and a tables ol' Mr. E. S. Langende were t burned, together with a floe young mart1, a \ mule, and a qi tani ity of corn aud fodder. Tho , fire waa believed to have been incendiary, and , suspicion oi tiring the property fastened.up?u a negro man named Elbert Harris, who was arrested and commit.ed to jail, to answer lue ' charge. On t uesday night about two hundred 1 disguised men wont lo the Jail,* secifred en- ' trjiiice, and laking out ihe uegro Harrte carried ' him lo Laug meade's pond und snot him to 1 death. The body of the negro was discovered on Wednesday morning, it having been thrown into the pond by his executioners. -On Sunday, March 15, there arrived in the Mersey one of the largest importations of sil ver that has ever taken place at Liverpool. The Onion Company's steamer Wisconsin, Cap> tain williams, which arrived that day from New York, had on board the enormous,quantl ty ol 65 tons and 5 cwt. ot sliver colo, prlncl pally Spanish and Mexican dollars, a large amount of which ls intended for this country, and the remainder for different parts of the continent As Boon as the Wisconsin was secured at her moorings In dock, the work of getting the specie boxes ashore was com? menced, and in a short time safely completed. Wagons were In readiness, and the specie was conveyed to the London and Northwestern raliway Btatlon, where lt was placed in 14 dosed railway vans, and dispatched to London by an early train on Monday morning. Are the Taxes Heavy Beyond Endu? rance T THE Columbia Union, the administration organ, buckles on its armor, and endeavors to prove that, after all, the people of South Carolina are very lightly taxed. It denies that there is any such thing kt this State as exorbitant taxation, and declares, that the trouble ls, * 'not in the amount of taxation, but "is in taxation itself." We have the right to assume that the Union reflects the opin? ions of tbe State officials, and that lt is their champion and apologist At all events, it presents the strougest argument it eau find to sustain its off-hand conclusion that "no "one who bas really examined tbe matter "carefully can, for one moment, oonscien "tiously assert", that the taxes levied by the State government "are heavy*beyond en "durance." The main argument ot the Union is contained in the following para I graph ; "The state tax is nine mills on the dollar, or nine dollars on the thousand; or, In other words and plainer terms, a man who is worth one thousand dollars in real estate or other property, wonld pay to tbe State Just nine dol? lars, and no more.- If the county added four mills, which is about the extent of any county tax,.that would add four dollars mote, ora total or thirteen dollars on a thousand. A perron worth two thousand dollars would pay twenty-six dollars Sta toland county tax; one worth three thousand dollars would-pay thirty aine dollars, and one worth ten thousand dol? lars would pay one hundred and thirty dollars. Now, we submit to tbe judgment of a candid public lt this ie exorbitant taxation ? If a per? son worth fen thousand dollars cannot afford* to pay one hundred and thirty dollars tax, he ls indeed a poor stick. The trouble 5s not in the amount of taxation, but is tn taxation Itself?' Even a hasty glance at these statements shows their dis ingenuous ness. Tbey do QOt tell the whole troth. The State tax is nine mills on the dollar, and the county tax does not exceed four mills additional. But this is the tax Jo r 1870, due last month ; and In November next a second tax (for 1871) falls due. For instance-the tax of 1870, to which alone the Union refers, is $2,415,047. Under the old law, tbe tax for 1871 wonld bave been payable in March, 1872 ; but the General Assembly, at tts last session, antici? pated the time of payment, so that the tax' for 1871 should be due and collectable in No? vember, 1871. The people have, therefore, to pay, this year, about 13 mills on the dol? lar for 1870, and about 10 milla OJ the dollar for 1871. The whole tax for the year is $4.395.000-which ia ten times the average andual coat of the State grpo',""">nr for tan years preceding the war. The mrfn who ie "worth one thousand dollars"- must pay, this year, a tax of twenty-three dollars, in? stead of.thirteen dollars, as stated by the Union. In the very beginning of its argu? ment the administration organ suppresses half the truth. But the fallacy of- the statement. of the Union- lies deeper than this, lt puts the laxes ot?he year at $13 on $1000, or $190 on ' $10,000, (we have shown that they are nearly twice os much,) and flippantly says that, if a person worth ten thou? sand dollars cannot afford to pay one hundred and thirty dollars tax, he is, indeed, a poor stick. We say so too. Bot the Union confuses assessed- value and real value/ There iftot a mau in South Caro? lina who is assessed for taxation at $10,000 who is worth ten thousand' dollars, or whose property, if sola, would produce anything like that sum. The Union assames that the assessment for taxation established the worth of the thing-what it will bring. Ia this way the Union may, at once, by increas? ing the assessment double or treble (in its own mind) the value of ail the property in. South Carolina. To the outside world, it is a conclusive explanation to say that the Caro? lina ex-Blavehoktera are growling because they now have to pay a tax of $13 on tue $1000, while before the war they had to pay only a few cents. The. truth is, and the Union ought to know it, that all the taxable property io South Carolina is assessed for taxation at far higher than its market value. In Charleston the assessment may be nearer the reality than it is anywhere else, but even here $4.006 was added to the taxable value of a house, because the owner spent upon it, io pai ut mg and repairs, just one thousand dollars. Aud we caa say, without fear of contradiction, that in tbe country districts property ts assessed at double, treble and quadruple its value. We have in our mind now a tract of land in Orangeb urg assessed ai $10,000-,. which could- not be SOM for $3000. The Union would say that the owner of this laud is worth $10,(100 aud must be "a." poor stick" ' if he cau't pay. $130 io taxes. The truth is that the tax of $130.is upon property worth ?inly $3000. It is a tax ol'mure tuan four per cent, upon what the plu.uier te really worth. lu November lhere will be os muco more to pay. "According to .he Union, a mau worth $10,000 pays $130. accorUiug to the truth, uiuan worth $3u00 java two hundred and thirty dollars. This S a distinction with a difference. We go further aud say trhat, the taxation jil h year must be measured by the income mi of which the taxes are paid Upon this jceusiuu we cauuol go'into particulars. It s sufficient fur ihe moment to say. that the ?ross income ol the State of South Carolina ,lite j ear will not exceed $20,000,000. Aud , ina Slate aud euuui) taxes, io Oe collected ibis year, ?mouin to $4396,000, exclusive of .ax arreara, .winch swell the total to over B5.000.000. 1 bid is one/Ourt*, o?,the whole gross income <.f the Siale. Out of the re? maining il5 000 000 must lie paid the codi uf living, uie -vages of laborers, the wear and lear ol stock anu implements and the like. No wonder that cuse3 are reported dally where the entire nat income (exclud? ing taxes) derived from property Is leas than the amount of State and 'county taxation. Yet the.Unio? has the coolness to say that the taxes are nert heavy beyond endurance, and that taxation is not exorbitant South ?Carolina Radicalism, o? which ttje Union is the defender, demands, as taxes, ONLT-OHB FIFTH of the whole income of the year ! JuDOE BOND, in his charge to the Grand Jury yesterday, said t hat the'Conrt and Jory must "make this State a place where we may live "without fearof midnight asaassi "nation, and of being dragged from onr "houses and murdered by people who have . "710 rigM io doao.n We would mildly sug? gest that this Stale is not, even without the Circuit Co art and Grand Jury, a very furnace of wrath, and, at the same time, we should like to ask who are the people who have the righi to assassinate and murder in South Car? olina ? That there is such a race, ia the infer? ence naturally drawn from the remarks of Judge Bond. Perhaps he waa incorrectly reported. Or, he means the negroes. . Kew Books.
