At his suggestion, however, the Hon. Horatio Seymour was on Saturday nomi? nated for the position, and lt is understood will accept The opposing Democratic candi? date is Tom Field, the district giving 2500 ma? jority. Mr. Seymour does not reside In New York City, but Oneida County, and His a novel thing In New York State politics to elect a can? didate for the Legislature residing in another j county. A Republican journal says all parlies should unite on Mr. Seamour, as it would be an honor to New York to elect such a man. -A correspondent of the London Telegraph draws a lively picture of the social condition ol Parla at the present moment, by which lt seems that lt is not only the e*.?rnal appear? ance of the city that is being so rapidly re? juvenated, but the people also are already assuming the '.ante-beliurn"gayety and joviali? ty. Day cj day the number of persons who "usually ?'ve there, and nearly as many more who come from afar off, are flocking to town and Betti! nc themselves down as of old; taking to all their iormer occupations; doing but i ness and killing time in that wonderful manner fuir which Parisians have been celebrated lime out of mind. According to the correspondent, Paris was never I more flourishing than now, and the tradesmen are literally "full ol bu?l ness." The , workmen-masons, carpenters, smiths, tinmen, glaziers, painters, printers, tailors, shoemakers and the rest-were never so well off before. What between some 10,000 of their fellow craftsmen killed at the taking of Paris, 20,000 who are st 111 prisoners, and 40,000 German workmen who left Paris at the commencement of the war and have not yet returned, there are now at least "0,000 fewer pairs of hands In the city than lhere were last year. The consequence is that workmen now get whatever wages they choose lo ask. Rents have not risen much, and alihough ihe ptice ol provisions ls bi^h, more meat and vegeta? bles are consumed thau formerly. As a corol? lary, the populace \m contented and orderly, and the police say tha beyond a rare wineshop dispute, or ll?e dlsiraeiion of having occa? sionally to bunt up a Communist, they have really nothirg to do. -The following was the sentence passed on Saturday upon HawUins, the polygamist, by Chief Justice McKean, in EaU Lake Cuy: "Thomas Hav kins, I am sorry for you, very sorry; you may not think so now, but I snail try to makf you think so by Hie mercy which I shall show you. You came Iron England to this country with the wife or your youth; fur many yeATS you were a kind husband and a kind falber. At length, however, tbe evil spirit of polygamy templed and possessed you. Th.m happiness departed from your household, and DOW, by the complaint of your faithful wile aa * the veidlci of a law-abiding I Jury, you Btand at the bar as a convicted crim? inal. Tte law gives me a large discretionary power io passing sentence upon you. I might both fine and Imprison you, or I might im? prison you twenty years and fine you $10,000. I cannot imprison you for less than three years, nor fine you less than $300. It ls right that you should be fined, among other reasons to help to delray the expenses of enforcing the laws ; but my ex? perience in Utah has been such, that were I to fine you only, I am satisfied the fine would be paid out ol other funds than yours; and you would go free, absolutely free from all punish? ment, and then those men who mislead the people would make thousands of others be? lieve that God had sent the money to pay the fine; that God Lad prevented the court-room from sending you to prison; that by a miracle you had been rescued from the authorities of the United States. I must look to it that my [judgment gives no aid or comfort to such men; I must look to it that my Judgment be not so severe as to seem vindictive, and not so light as to seem to trifle with justice. I will say here and now that, whenever your good be? havior and the public good shall justify me in doing so, I will gladly recommend that you be pardoned. The judgment of tbe court is, that you be fined $500, and that you be imprisoned at bard labor for the term of three years." Contrary to all expectations, there was little or no excitement in the court-room. The at? tendance was large, but generally all main? tained a proper decorum. Notice of an appeal to the Supreme Court was given by the prison? er's counsel. Thc .Municipal Change. The installation of the Mayor and Alder? men elect will take place at the City Hall, at 12 o'clock to-day, and the Executive Com mittee of the Citizens' Party request that there be no public demonstration on that occasion. It is desired that the installation be a purely formal affair, and that all Bhow of exultation be avoided. ?p **et *ne *?overnor Speak. It has always been the practice in this State to pay tho taxes for a given year in the year following; the taxes for 1870, for example, being payable in 1871. At the last session of the General Assembly, how eve;, the period of collection was changed so <iz lc make the taxes of both 1870 and 1871 payable during the present year. The effect of snch a change could not fall to be disastrous in the extrema For the year 1870 the State tax, due and payable last spring, was nine mills on the dollar. For the year 1871 the State tax, due and pay? able, under the new plan, this present month, is seven mills on the dollar. The tax of nine mills (1870) amounts to $1,647,000, and the tax of seven mills (1871) to $1,281,000, making a total tax, to be paid in the year, of $2,928,000; an amount more than seven times as great as the State tax before the W?r, But, in addition to the State tax, there ls the county tax, which ie payable at the same Lime, The county taxation for 1870 amounts to $618,047, and for 1871 to OOO. Adding the several taxes we find that Ihe people were called upon to pay, this | y ear, the following amounts ; btote tax, 1870.$1,647,000 | State tax, 1871. 1,281,000 County tax, 1870. 618,047 ( County tax, 1871. 549,00-" , Total.?4,095,047 And even this amount is exclusive of the joli-tax of one dollar, which adds $300,000 .o the general estimate. It must be remeni lered, besides, that all real and personal properly in South Carolina is taxed at least .ts fall market value, and that the taxable rwoperty of the State is largely reduced in dinount by 'v'ae consequences of tbe war. Iu Jther words, while the value of the property af the people of the State has sunk from 3489,000,000, in 1860, to $183,000,000, in 1870, the amount to be raised by taxation in one year is increased from $400,000 to $4, 250,000. The publication of this unvarnished str^e ment in THE NEWS, last March, gave dee to a discussion in which nearly every journal in this State tcok part. The general decision was that the payment of four million dollars IQ taxes, in one year, would reduce to beg? gary an already Impoverished people. The circumstance that the taxpayers, being nearly exclusively whites, were without representa? tion in the Legislature whose members squan? dered tbe public moneys, and imposed taxes to defray their own extravagant appropri? ations, a ided fuel to the flame, and in a very short time the white people of the State were prepared to oiler a united moral resist? ance to the collection of a tax so heavy as to be tantamount, in many cases, to confis? cation. / The proposed double-tax of four million dollars, together with the large increase in the State debt, led to the holding of public meetings in Charleston, which meetings re? sulted in the assembling of tbe T^xmy^rs' Convention last May.r This body, comjT?sed or men 6T mtelligence and position, r^u??1?. ered the question maturely, had appointed a special committee to Confer with the Gover? nor of the State in relation to the postpone? ment of the collection of the tax for 1871, made due in November, 1871, but which, under the old law, would have been collectable io March, 1872. The committee submitted the following report, which was adopted : That Impressed with the conation (under the peculiar circumstance!* ot the case, and In view ot the fact mat the people of the 8tate are thus called upon to pay the laxes for two aeparate years in one,) of the justice of the measure o? relief proposed, they have had an Interview with the Governor, who has autho? rized them to sta'e to the Convention, that while the various offices will be open in No? vember lor the reception of the taxes at that time, from such of the citizens as may be then prepared to pay them, yet that the period for 'heir payment will be extended to the lat of] Murch, 1782, within which lime, if payment i's made, no penalty will ar -lie. ' In the 3ame Convention, the Committee of Eleven, of which General M. C. Butler was chairman, reported, also, that they had urged "the inability of the people, after .paying the taxes now being collected, to 'pay a second tax in November next," and that the Governor said, in reply, that "it "had been represented to him by well "informed citizens in several parts of the "State that for a large clas3 of citizens, "whose taxes were small in amount, the "month of November was a more convenient "time of payment than any other, and he "hoped that to that class of citizens the col 'lection of the lax at that time would not "prove oppressive;" but, yielding to the r. presentations of the Committee, the Gov t;nor "re ii ested th tm to report to thc Con "vention that be would authorize the Comp "troller io suspend the collection of taxes in "all cases where the payment thereof was "inconvenient to the taxpayers-that this "postponement should extend to the 1st "of March, 1872, and that the penally "for non-payment should not be enjorced in "the meantime." We have recapitulated the circumstances which led to the holding of the Taxpayers' Convention last May, and have reproduced the explicit and deliberate promises of Gov? ernor Scott, because we have reason to be? lieve that it is not intended to give the tax? payers the extension ol lime upon which they counted. We have before us, 1er in instance, the Columbia Union ol Monday last, containing the following official notice OFFICE TREASURER RICHLAND COUNTY, ) COLUMBIA, October 20, 1871. j The books of the Treasurer of Richland County will be opened on the 20th day of No? vember, 1871, for the receipt of taxes due the State and County for the year 1871. The penalty ot twenty per cent., provided by law, will be added to all taxes remaining un? paid on the 15th day of January, 1872. The rate of taxation for the year 1871 is as follows, viz : State tax per centum. .. 7 mills County tax per centum. 3 mills Poll tax per capita.tl C. li. BALDWIK, Treasurer Richland County. Mr. Treasurer Baldwin here gives notice that the penalty provided by law will be added to all taxes remaining unpaid on the 15th day of January, 1872; while Governor Scott pledged his honor that the period of payment should be extended to the 1st of March, before which time no penalty should attach. It may be that Mr. Baldwin's notice is a simple compliance with the letter of the tax law, and that Governor Scott has not forgotten what be promised six moDtbs ago. But the people are becoming uneasy and suspicious, and it is due to them that they Bhould know the truth that they may be ready for the worst. Governor Scott or his tax officers CUD, at least, relieve the people from what is a position of painful uncertain? ty. We hope that this will be done. The Charleston Election. [From the Columbia Union.] We have not seen a respectable Republican who has endorsed the scheme lately put on foot in Charleston to defeat the will of the people. It was one of the lamtist attempts that ever came to our notice, and we do not wonder that those engaged in it took pains to burry back home after the matter was decided When a Republican gets so far advanced as to refuse to submit to the decisions ol the ballot box, the [sooner be goes to some other fold the better. We believe in contesting elections where fraud is known te have been practiced, Out the evidence of that fraud must be adduc? ed, or the fraud charged at the time of the election, and not two months after it is over. [From the Colombia Phoenix.] In the case of the Charleston city election, t seems that Judge Graham did not take long ,o come to a d?cision. Messrs. Worthington and Soge seem to have been promptly "squelch id." They were snuffed out by the Charles on lawyers. The array was inspiring. Ex Ipeaker Simons, ex-Governor Magrath, J. B. Campbell, Esq., Sandy Brown, Esq., C. H. 81 aonton, Esq., and others, put In an appear .?ce. Well, Messrs. Worthington and H?ge rere found utterly unprepared. They were dipped on Ute Outer skirmish line. Even If heir case had any merits at all, they J?? not tave the chance to suggest them. The history ?f law cases never before revealed such an asy victory. We congratulate the people of Charleston upon the result, and hope that the ood old city will improve under the new mu iclpal government.

Have yon ever drank a cop of my Douar^rea ?> Ii you bay each Ten elsewhere, I'd advise yon on the score of economy to try mme, as I guarantee it to be all pore Tea, and not the combination of Tea and foreign mixtures generally sold la thia market at that price ? It will be worth the time consumed to call and examine the varied stock of GROCERIES, CROCKERY, FRENCH CHINA, FANCY GOODS, TOYS AND TINWARE, now la Store, by no means my complete stock, but still well assorted and quite extensive It affords me great satisfaction to be able to state that, while a few storekeepers make a cer? tain article a so-called specialty, and offer it at low figures, I endeavor to make a tpecialty of every thing in my stock la the matter of quality and cheapness, and thus stand a better chance of affording satisfaction generally.
