The capital of the company ls urne ty thousand dollar?, which is privately subscribed, with the immediate object of mak? ing a trial shaft and driving a driftway on the English side, about half a mlle* beyond low water .mark, with the view of proving the practicability of tunnelling under the channel. The completion ol this work Will fa rn's a data for calculating the oost of continuing the drift- j way-from each shore to a junction- in - mid channel, and, capital will then be subscribed for that purpose, or for enlarging it to the size . of/ah ordinary railway tunnel, as the eagl (neers may deem most expedient. -{The. Washington correspondent of tbe . Springfield Republican, who bas excellent op? portunities fo^udglojg, gives some sign incant facts in reference to the feeling which prevails lu-polit ?cai circles there Just now. According to his statements, the particular friends of { General Grant are becoming decidedly anxious and nervous They do not like the custom? house, developments at all, and many promi? nent Republicans express the opinion that unless Leet ls done away with the repu? tation ot the President will be irreparably Injured. The mention of General Porter's name also begins to be accompanied by omi? nous shakings of the head. T?e correspond? ent considers It certain that the Presidential campaign will bo a very exciting one. The Republican opponents of the administration' have, grown stronger within the last month, and are not SJ despondent as they were a lone time Senator Wilson, who prides himself on his dis? cernment, ls said to predict the liveliest kind of | ajcampalgo, and does not consider a Republi? can triumph inevitable. Senator Stewart has I changed his tone lately, and hints that there | 1B room for Improvement in Customhouse j matters) the President ls being urged by many j .to-dlspense with the advice of Mess; s. Morton, Conkling&Co.; and, In short, it is evident that a panic, or something very much like a panic, 1B brewing at headquarters. -Verdi, whose "Trovatore" has been ham? mered wherever music is known, and whose "Travlata" has been Bung on every stage In the civilized world, has gone to Africa for his last success. Unlike Meyerbeer, who also soughttn the jungles for hl3 latest Inspiration, Verdi has lived to see his Ethiopian opera pro? duced in royal style under auspices ol the Viceregal court for whose master it was com? posed. The Khedive, ofter exhausting the resources of French opera and ballet, took a new .departure by ordering t he rep resent ion of this newest production of t he Italian school on Christmas Eye-"Alda," for that ls the title ol the opera, ls Egyptian' In Its plot, and apparently more true to the locality than "Un Bailo In Maschera" ls to Boston. Not only did Verdi labor on thi3 composition for two years, but the Viceroy sent an eminent archae? ologist to Paris to prepare the costumes with historical accuracy, and dragged Egypt for vpcal talent to secure llfl.pxoper.presentation. Tne-cost of the orera t? pat at seven hundred and fifty thousand francs, and not only all Egypt but much of Europe rushed to attend its flrst representation. Immense prices . wj^ 'Dald for seats, standln^-ropm being qn?l?d at ten dollars' a square Toot, and alto? gether the triumph of Verdi and of his royal patron ^was most distinguished. When the Khedive allows the, precious Bcore to go to less favored lands, the merits of the work may be more fully understood, but at present the cost ol "Alda" is the most prominent feature, and that is sufficient to stagger impresarios who have not the revenue of a province at command. -A report on the quarantine abtne3 at the port of New York has been prepared by com? mittees appointed for that purpose by the Chamber of Commerce, the Produce Exchange and three other commercial associations. The general findings ot this grand Jury of mer? chants are as follows: Tho health officer, at his option, unnecessarily detains and controls vessel?, merchandise and persons, whether infected or not. Exorbitant charges are made on merchants and vessels solely to promote private interests. Great risks and les es are occasioned by the unnecessary detention?. The quarantine management ia inls respect is onJ?to.*e escaped by consenting to numeious bleeding processes - such as the poying of double . harbor ratea for lighterage exclusively controlled by the health offl' cer; giving two dollars (gold) a head for bringing passengers up to the city, and twenty-five dollars for the mall, and one dollar extra each for outside letters, and from thirty dollars to sixty dollars for the use of the health officer's steamboat to tow up tbe ve?sel herself. The annual expense of one steamship company alone, on these ac? counts, is not less than fifteen thousand dol? lars. Charges for other services are on the same scale-as forty dollars each lor trans? ferring Bick persons, from quarantine to Ward's Island, and thirty dollars each for burying the dead. Great as are the direct money damages to New York, through this quarantine system, the committee take a larger view of the subject than merely ^pro? test against those-lor they see that; the indi re.4 injuries ara far greater. For one case, they cite, the fact that during the laBttwo years about one hundred thousand bags of j Rio coffee have annually been diverted from New York to Baltimore in consequence of J maladministration at quarantine. Oar Stake In the Game. It is perfectly well understood in Savan? nah that the proposed lease of the ^outh Carolina Railroad, by the Central Jwlroad Bing, is tantamount to the commercial ruin of Charleston. ? Cbarlestonian, now doing | business in Savannah, writes aa follows to a merchant in this city: * "What do you think of the editorial in Mon? day's CHARLESTON NEWS ? It ts what the writer has experted/ The Georgia Central Railroad owns the majority of ?ie stock of the South Carolina Railroad, and now submits propositions to lease that road, guaranteeing four per cent, on the stock-. This will be pre? sented at the meeting of stockholders, and the Central Railroad and its friends, having i majority of stock, will carry their point. All the Cbarlestonians here are very much mor? tified, and feel deeply for the future of Cnarle6 ton. It is true that I have spoken to Mr_, In a laughing way, about Charleston, but, when I see a fatal stroke aimed at her pros \perUy,l feel my mother's blood tingle In .my veins, and would do anything in my power to avert the fearful blow*." This plain talking comes home to each and every one of ns. It shows what is thought of as, and what is feared for us, io the city which is to be made rich by our desolation. We do not think, however, that the Central Railroad Ring have a control? ling interest in the stock of the South Caro? lina Railroad. They hope to carry their point by dwelling upon the certainty and comfort of a guaranteed dividend. They believe that the stockholders will accept a four per cent, dividend, as an equivalent for the assured loss of their stock in a few years, and for the certain destruction of the commercial life of Charleston. The four dollars a share may, at first, seem a boon to? those who are in need of money, and who have no direct interest in our good or evil fortune. But the object of the proposed lease is to divert from the South Carolina Railroad its through business, which is the backbone of the income of the road. As all railroad men know, this can be accom? plished in a very sbort time, under the pres? sure of high and discriminating rates oT freight Once done, the Central Railroad Ring will allow the South Carolina Railroad to be sold out by any bondholders who choose to bring suit, or, their lease ended, they will turn the road over to the stock? holders with nothing to depend on but a fraction ot its local trade, wholly insufficient to pay even the interest upon the mortgage4 debt. lu either case, the stock is worthless. A live years' lease, therefore, gives the stockholder a total sum of twenty dollars, in yearly dividends, for the shares which are now worth, in the market, thirty-seven or forty dollars. That the effect of leases is pretty well understood, i3 indicated by the experience of the Macon and Western Rail? road, to whose stockholders the Central Railroad guarantees a dividend of ten per cent. When the lease was effected, the price of the stock of the Macon and Western Railroad was one hundred and twenty three. It is now one hundred and five, or less. We undertake to say that, if the South Carolina Railroad be leased by the Central Ring, the fall in the stock will be Jar greater, in proportion, than in the case of the Macon and Western Road. And if a lease would result in a total loss of the property of stockholders who have no direct Interest in the trade and progress of Charleston, what must be ist effect upon those who do business in, or with, this city ? The extent of the business brought to Charleston by the South Carolina Railroad, (omitting the receipts of grain,) is shown in the following table: COMPARATIVE STATEMENT OP COTTON, LIVE STOCK, tO., BRQJJGHT TO CHARLESTON, BY TBS SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD, FROM 1866 TO 1871, IN?

When the whole force of the Central Railroad and of its thrall, the South Carolina Railroad, is turned against Charleston, we shall receive none of this business save such local freight as, in spite of exorbitant rates, is obliged to come here. By this busine33 we live. Every bale of cotton, every barrel of flour, every barrel of naval stores, every bale of | merchandise is a source of profit to Charles? ton. The wharf-owners, the ship-owners, the factors and brokers, the merchants and bankers, the clerks, the mechanics and the laborers depend upon these, and upon t'je freights sent from Charleston, for their yearly income. For the'year 1871, 228,004 tons of freight were sent from Charleston over the South Carolina Railroad, and it is as clear as clear can be that, without this immense business, to and fro, not a tenth part of the present population of Charles? ton could make a decent living. The price of houses and lots wonld instantly decline; taxes would rise in proportion ; the young and the active, the capitalist and the shrewd merchant would flee hence as from a plague stricken shore. This, we repeat, is our stake in the game. This is what Charleston has depending upon the Buccess or failure of the Central Railroad Bing. We say, then, that every man who lives in Charleston or by Charleston, who has property here, or who earns his living here, is interested to the fall extent of his yearly income, whatever that may be, in retaining the control of the South Carolina Railroad in the hands of the people of the city and State. They who are not with us are against us. This is the cause of the rich and the poor-or the whole people. We must break the Ring on Tuesday. And we hope that every stockholder will stand ready to cast his vote against any proposal for leasing or selling the road. This is the first thing to be done; but more remains behind. We cannot Bleep securely until a majority of the stock of the South Carolina Railroad Company is owned in South Carolina, by men who will hold it, not for speculation or for dividends, but as the only sure and certain way of retaining the business by which the city lives-as the only sure and certain way of preventing the common ruin, and of insuring a steady in? crease of prosperity and wealth. Confiscation ! It conveys to the outside public a very in? adequate idea of the burden of taxation in South Carolina if we simply tell them that, in a certain period of time, so many thous? and dollars were levied and collected. They want to know how the present tax compares with the tax of before the war, and how both compare with the amount of property subject to taxation. All these facts can be shown in short space, for the purpose of I enlightening our neighbors as to our condi? tion, and of demonstrating to the people of [ South Carolina the unparalleled magnitude of the contributions desired to be exacted from them. The tax for 1870, due and payable be? tween January 15 and March 1, 1871, was at the rate of 9 mills on the dollar for State purposes, and 3 mills on the dollar for county purposes, aud amounted to ?2,265, 047. The tax for 1871, due and payable be? tween November 20,1871, and January 15, 1872, was at the rate of 7 mills for State purposes, and 3 mills for connty purposes, and amounted to $1,830,000. The proposed tax for 1872, payable in in? stalments before July 1, 1873, is at the rate of ic mills for State purposes, and 3 mills for county purposes, and amounts (on the same assessment as that of 1870 and 1871, Viz: $183,000,000,) to $3,477,000. There is, therefore, paid and to be paid, between March 1, 1871, and July 1, 1873, the following sam : Tax of 1870.12,265,047 Tax ol 1871. 1,830,000 Tax Of 1872. 3,477,000 $7,572,047 Poll tax, three years. 450,000 Total.S8,oaa,047 Before the war, upon an average of ten years, the annual expenditures for State and county purposes amounted to only $400,000. The correctness of this statement is chal? lenged by the Columbia Union, which de? clares that the average annual tax before the war was $610,173. We take the Agares of the Radical Organ, for the sake of argu? ment, and we find that, before the war, the State and connty taxation for twelve months was $610,173, or $50,847 a month, andtbat the present Radical taxation is $8,022,047 or twenty-eight months, or $280,501 a month-the rite of taxation being more than quintupled. There is another test. In 1860 the real and personal property of the State was as? sessed for taxation at $489,000,000, and nearly all real estate was assessed at far less than its value. At the present time the assessment is only $183,000,000, al? though all property is put down at its full value. The tax of $50,847 a month, before the war, was equal to a yearly charge of 12? cents upon every hundred dollars' worth of real and personal property. The tax of twenty-eight months of Radical rule, at the rate of $286,501 a month, is equal to a yearly cJtarge of $1 88 upon every hundred dollars' worth oj real and personal prop? erty. This is not all. In one year, the State debt, as admitted by the State officials, is increased from $7,665,908 to $15,707,908. We may, therefore, put down the known cost of the State Government for the twen? ty-eight mom tbs at: State and county taxes.$ 8.022,047 Increase of debt. 8,102,000 Total.$16,134,047 That is to say, nearly nine per cent, of I the assessed value of all the real and per? sonal property is consumed by the increase in the public debt for one year, and by the taxation for twenty-eight months. And for this vast expenditure the people of the State who pay taxes have nothing to show but discredit abroad, and distress and dis? quiet at home. THE Marion Star publishes a cogent arti? cle in favor of minority representation. Savannah Owns Vp! [From the Sava: nah Advertiser.] The proposed lease of the South Carolina Railroad by the Central Road seems lo have evoked a decided opposition in Charleston, il we may Judga by the tone of the late editorials in the papers of that city. ****** Whether the stockholders of the (South Carolina) road will entertain the same feel? ing ot loyalty toward Charleston and Its in? terests, irrespective of their own, remains to be seen. The terms offered are four percent, annual dividends on the par value of the stock. During the past five years, the road has paid little, If any, dividen!, consequently the above offer will prove a very tempting one. _iflieti?tgg._ WASHINGTON LODGE, Ko 5, A. F.
