I say this sorrowfully and with regret, tor I fear that my words may - bring disappointment and grief to the hearts of many dear friends-to friends of the church-at least for a- time, while many more who biye acquiesced in my election may wish that my reply had been otherwise." H-*tM nioe point ol law is pending for arbltra tton before tb Pittsburg coarta.

Seventeen yean p&sed nd he still remained single, sober and Industrious, with one image imprinted ? pon bis heart.

As long as the municipal censes partook of the character of pol regulations, and were small In arnon there was no dlsposltioa to resist the The licenses are now extremely onere and in some departments of business aim* .prohibitive. It is not, therefore, a mat for surprise that the. citizens of Chariest should avow their readiness to save the selves if they can. The courts of the State must deci whether a license law, other than for poll purposes, can, antler the present constit tlon, bs enforced; but, in the mean wai the public have the assurance that ma thoughtful lawyers believe the license la of State and city, to be a direct violation the constitution. It is known tbat BOD citizens have never paid the license ta and the public have sufficient reason f employing counsel to defend them, and f Withholding, in the meantime, the pa, ment of the tax. This is the course takit lu Columbia, where a Uce se law similar \ that of Charleston was adopted and pul llshed. In these days no man pays a tax for pi triotic reasons. When he gives np an part of bis gains he does.so because he can help it. It is useless, therefore, for the cit authorities to appeal to the patriotic sent ment bf the people. That sentiment stop short of the breeches pocket. The licens tax will not generally be paid, nor ought j to be, and it remains to determine how tb deficiency in the-munlcipal revenue is to b supplied. , One Alderman who opposed the licens law gave lt to be understood that he pre faned an - additional tax upon property Perhaps be owns no real estate. The t aeon of the tax law is that real and personal prop erty shall be taxed at their value; but ir practice the major part of the burder falls upon real estate, which cannot be over looked and is never undervalued. Any in crease of the tax upon property would, therefore, fall, in the main, upon real estate. Now, any man who owns houses and lands knows that they do not pay, in Charleston, more than three or four per cent, upon their value. In most cases the State and county taxes amount to nearly one-half of the rental. It is to the interest of the city to relieve rather than to oppress raal estate, and it is demanded that no additional tax be levied without an inexorable necessity There is only one way in wbich the defi ciency caused by the failure of the license law can be met, and that is by a redaction of expenses. We shall be told, of coarse, that it will inj are the city to lessen the expenditures for police and street purposes and the like. Bat we can aSord to dispense with parks and promenades. The streets show very, little sign of improvement, and even upon important thoroughfares the city officials refuse to bear one-half of the coat of re paving. About the police, the less said the better it will be for the Oonncil. The citi zens can protect themselves more cheaply and effectively than they are protected by the city police. -._ . The conclusions at which we arrive are th se: The people will not pay any tax which they bavs a reasonable hope of es caping from; the license law is of so doubt ful a validity that the people may properly ref ase to pay it; the real and personal prop erty cannot, without severe hurt, stand any material additional tax; the Council, there fore, must meet the loss of revenue caused by the collapse ot the license law by reduc ing the cost of running, or walking, the mu nicipal government. These are the opinions of THE NEWS. They who d sire to controvert them may do so if they can. . They shall have a fair field, and no favor. A Sonth-Sea Babble. The United States are invited to annex the Sandwich Islands, which are left in an orphan condition by the death of King Kamehameha. When we have a constitu tional government at home, it . will be time enough lo talk of extending the area of civ ilization. But, after all, some of oar State governments are better suited to Hawaiian ' savages than to decent Americans.
