The rebuilding of the. Burnt District of Charleston is of Importance to the whole State. As long aa it remains in its present dreary condition, the outside world will not believe, that the city ia thriving. The ap? pearance of active prosperity brings with it an increase of prosperity; andlt is rather j hard that a community, which bas made as < much solid progress as Charleston has done, should be cried down only because the houses destroyed in 1861 have not yet been I rebuilt. There is a demand for dwelling- ? nooses suitable for persons of moderate I' means, bot the demand ?B not sharp enough I to warrant capitalists in running the gaunt- 1 let o? State and Municipal taxation. The I "houses could be rented at once, withont detriment to the houses now in tbe market, I and capitalists and tenants are confident that in a few years the barren acres of the burnt district will be covered with pleasant homes. But ve cannot afford to wait I Every day of walting does the city some hann. And the work cannot be accom-1, pushed unless capitalists are offered some j sort of premium to induce them to lay out I I their money. This is proposed to be given 11 them in the shape of an exemption, for five I j years, from State and Municipal taxation. I, THE Nsws ls thoroughly In favor of offer-1 i lng every possible inducement to those who j t are' inclined to rebuild tbe Burnt District, j1 Bat this must be dose in such a way as to j1 avoid the infliction of loss upon any ciasB of 11 citizens. The people outside of the burnt I e district cannot afford to pay additional 11 . taxes, for the ben e?t, of persons in the burnt I ? district. There must not be any redaction ' in tho amount of property servlog as the basis of taxation. And here lies the objec-1 < tlo? to the bill now before the Legislature, li That bill proposes to exempt from taxation, I ( focl:svpnriod of Ave years, all bondings or I ' improvements in the burnt district, and the I ^ lots of land ' upon which they may stand. 11 The vacant lots are now taxed, and will j < continue to be taxed If no building or im- J1 pro vernen t be put upon them. The pro posed bill, therefore, would reduce the . amount ef taxable property ia Charleston j by the assessed value of the lots apon which J - any improvement might be made. The sum I j to be raised by taxation could not be dimin ished, and the rate of taxation, upon the I property not improved, and outside of the bare t district, would necessarily be increas-111 ed. This would be unfair to the taxpayers 1n at larga. They have a right to expect that j \ there shall be no reduction in the amount of I e taxable property, and that, at the end of I n five- years, the taxable value of the previous ly exempted property shall speedily make np for the previous apparent loss. We think that the bill before the Legisla? ture should be so modified as to prevent, for five years, any Increase In the assessed valne, for tax purposes, of any property in the burnt district, upon which houses may be built. This would leave the tax upon a boase abd lot at the figaro at which tbe vacant lot is taxed. It is ?quivalent to abott four per cent, upon the cost of the building, and that is enough to lead capital? ist? td put their money into the work. Take a lot worth $1000 with a bouse worth $5000. The tax would be only fonr per cent upon $1000, or $40; the exemption for Ave years belog equal to four per cent npon $5000, or $200 a year. And at the end of the five years the ground tax would be reduced, be? cause the buildings throughout the burnt district would then be taxed at their full value. A Distinction, With a Difference. We take pleasure in saying that Repre? sentative Charles Green, of Georgetown, did not vote for "Honest" John Patterson, as telegraphed to THE NEWS, but plumped for Congressman Elliott The two men, Patterson and Elliott, are as different as light and dark. Tom Scott's Work. A recent article ic the New Tork Finan? cier suggests an explanation of the persis taney with which Mr. J. J. Patterson plotted and planned to secure his election as United States- Senator. The financier showed that the 1 ou them Security Company, the mammoth monopoly, which is striving to swallow the principal railroad lines io the South and to the Pacific, contrives to enroll among Its stockholders Influential Congress? men from every State through which its lines pass. The bead schemers are Simon Cameron and Tom Scott of whom Mr. J. J Patterson ls the disciple and bosom friend. Hot long ago he is said to have gone North to obtain tbe money with which to bay bis election, and the public have a right to sup? pose that, in the United States Senate, Mr. Patterson will do the work cut oat for bim, and be the willing tool of the Pennsyl? vania Ballroad and the Southern Security Company, lt ia related of a moral member of the. Pennsylvania Legislature that, to? wards the close of a profitable session, he .rose in his seat and said : "Mr. Speaker, if *?Tom Scott ain't got no more work for us -"to do.I move that thia House do now ad 'joirn sine die.? Something of this tort will be heard in the United States Senate if many more or the Patterson stripe can buy themselves a sent j The Conssrv Hives In the Li eg Isl ?tare. Tbe Conservative vote, io the election o? | a United States Senator, on Tuesday, was BO split np as to cou nt for nothing. There are thirty-one Conservatives in the Legislature,* and only by acting together can they make their influence felt. Five of them voted for J. J. Patterson, seven voted for Pointer, nine voted for Judge Moses, seven voted for Saw? yer, and three voted for Graham. Thus the vote was frittered away. The Conservatives may have thought that lt mattered little which way they voted. It mattered much. A Conservative vote gave Patterson his ma? jority in the Senate. Who knows that a massing of the twenty-one Conservative votes in the House upon Graham or Moses would not have attracted sufficient outside votes to prevent the election of Patterson on the first ballot? However this may be, it ls certain that such a want of unanimity among the Conservatives as is indioated by their vote for senator gives confidence to the public enemy, and disheartens the peo? ple who look to the Conservative phalanx for decisive and, above all, united action. Whether the Conservatives number ten or twenty pr thirty, their only hope of producing any substantial effect upon the majority is j by standing together. A score of Intelli? gent men who cannot be Beared or bribed, who will raise their voice when danger threatens the State, who will be the watch? dogs of the treasury, who will oppose only what is foolish aod bad, and support only what is wise and good, must have a consid? erable moral influence in a body like the General Assembly of South Carolina, but that influence is lost when they show the world that, in the face of the enemy, they break tho line and fight each after his own plan of battle. We sincerely hope that, in Tature, the Conservative members will be found shoulder to shoulder. Unless they are, their presence le the Legislature will certainly be of no benefit, and may be of harm, to tho State. Jrnannol. g EVEN PER CENT. SECOND MORT? GAGE BONDS SOUTH CAROLINA RAIL?
