Colone Rlou will no doubt cause his suggestion to be duly considered. In our issue o yesterday, bo gave bis views' of "tin situation and tho remedy." It will bi observed that Colouel Rion bas little ex pectation of a material surrender o power on the part of thoso who nov bold tho reins of legislation. He hopes however, that some "check power" ti poi taxation and appropriation may bo oou ceded. To Ibis end ho suggests cer tain amoudmouts to tho Constitution c thc Stato. Tuns Ulltt TuXUllOU, We have recently examined, with in forest and profit, the report recentl; made on this subject to Governor Hofl mau by a commission, consisting u Messrs. D. A. Wells, Edwin Dodge um George W. Cuyler, who had been ap pointed to revise tho laws, io New York for the assessment and collection o tuxes. The rpport is a very ublo one and will be found of groat valuo to th country at large. It is shown that tb present system of taxation in this COU ni r is full of crudities, irregularities and at sn nhl ?es. As an exchange remarks: In respect to general remedies, Mt Wella promises -that it is desirable t effect equality and certainty in URHOS? mont und collection of taxe*, with cou: partitive freeuom from trouble and ut uoyauco to tbe tax-payer; that the mor concreto and lesa diff.inud a system <: taxation can be made, the better for th people, nud the better for the Slate-foi with tlie exception of' direct taxes o income, and upon thoso articles, bk spirits und tobacco, which ure consume solely for per.-oual gratification, taxatio dill'nses itself willi a wonderful degree < uniformity. While it is not necessary I tux all descriptions of property ill ord? to insure (quality and uniformity, it i indispensable that no system of taxatio should be adopted that does not iu uniformly and equally on all property i tho Buino kind. For discontent arisen o tho part of the tax payer, uot from til amount paid, but from tho fact thu while be is compelled to pay, his neig! bora and associates tuuuuge, in som way, to escape. Aud Mr. Lowe, Chat nullor of the English Exchequer, sat tho whole soorot of taxation consists i preserving this equalization of pressun and that "all experience shown that people wbo are moderately prosperm will bear the heaviest burdens of taxatio without complaint, when they feel titi the distribution is just and equal; bi wbeu tho distributions are nneqnu somebody inevitably in being eitlx crushed or plundered." It is this el meut of uncertainty and inequality j thc. methods of assessment and oollectit ihat muhen a tax un arbitrary exactioi repel laut nud destructivo alike to oap tal, manufactures and commerce. ?

It remains to bo tieeu how many of them will obey thc dictation thus im? posed. Tin rc Tux ('omni in>.l<>t>erH, or Tribune*, Willi U Veld Pow rr, Mn^nltd. Mr. Mern minger proposes *'a change iu tho constituency-' of South Carolina aa tho only peaceable remedy for our po? litical illa. This a dp ea rs lo us to beau impracticable proposal at present, both hooaiiae it is not iu tho power of a State convention to take away the right of suffrage-already vested, und In onoae it coolly proposes voluntary political sui? cide to thu blacks. Any form of person? al terrorism nod intimidation is also ob? jectionable, except aa ii dernier resort, because it sows thoBccds of anarchy and of contempt for law in our midst. Wc would say, thou, let the constituency, ut least for the present, until its incurable rottenness bu further demonstrated to outsiders, roma u aa it is. Even those. Southern States which have now over como tho negro voto hv white majorities might object to any effort practically ex? cluding negro suffrage, at present. And besides, we need un immediate check upon wasteful extravagance bef?te the next general Stute election. We. there? fore, propose fur the public TO consider that tho tax-payers of the Slate not only refuse to pay the tuxes, if attompted to be collected next full, but firmly refuse to pay any tax ut all, after thu tax for 1870, until some such provision for their protection na the following be embodied lu thu Statu Const i tnt iou: "Al each general State election there shall also bo elected three Lax comme - sinners, or tribunes, to be chosen exclu? sively by a majority of those suffragans only, irrespective of nico or eolor. who cati read tho Stato Constitution und who also pay u tux upoti S5?U worth of pro? perty." 2. "These tux co mai issie nc is or tri? bunes shall ouch possess an absoluto and final power to veto auy tux that shall be in excess ot the rate of six milla on the dollar upon the real value of ult property in tho Stute, fairly aud equitably un? scaled." It will bo observed th- t thia sugges? tion of oura proposes si ii.ply to suppl . meut tho existing state of things HY FORCING u clause for the protection ol' property-holders into tho State Consti? tution, and by appointing proper officers, properly chosen, tu etiforcu that clause, for thu wisest constitutional provision cannot enforce itself. This oluiiso would give the tax-payers no power to com roi or block Ilia Government, but only the ability to keep tho Government from plundering tho State. Tho Roman tri? bunes were fnuud necessary to protect tho rights of person; Sou Mi Carolina needs tribunes to protect the rights of properly. Tho United States Govern? ment, we believe, will not meddle with fltii local contest, but will let tho State Government tight against the tax-payera, successful ly if it outi. If, however, tho Radical party blindly dare to try forco to prevent au ?quitable a measure, it will probublv hasten its own overthrow in 1872.- Wiimsbftro Neics. Mr. Wiusmtth-so fur from being dead-has written the following letter to tho Spartanbtirg papers: DEAR ?rin: I have seen in the Charles? ton pupers a movement by tho Chamber of Commerce, to cull a convention of tho tax-payers of tho Slut i to meet in Columbia on the second Tues.lay iu May. I hopo tho tax payers of Spin taubttrg will cull a meeting promptly, and appoint delegates to said eonveution, and na I shall bo unable to attend such meeting, I desire, through your paper, to express my approval of tho movement, winch I hope may eventuate in relieving the tax? payers from the ruinous burthens which have beou imposed upon them by a cor? rupt L?gislature at its lust session. A united, prudent and decisivo movement on tho part of the tax payers cannot fail to bo felt, and may be productivo of much relief. Very respectfully, J. WINSMITH. CAMP HILT,, April 10, 1871.

Ba? z etij iys tho respect ol' tho grout majority of tho population, mid has four timos uecepted tho position of Chief Magistrate. It is a remarkable fact that Ibo Presi? dent, Cabinet, Legislature and Judiciuty ure itt favor of laying down their power iu favor of thu United States. Tho con? stant cou!motion of seveial years bus c impletely paralyzed industrial pursuits, aud the resources of i he republic have so diminished that it catiuut pay its ex penses, and the confidence of tho people ! could ';t lo ne lia'vo preserved tts existence. i Cabrai occupies three or four mountain villages', und, with a small force, bun been able tu distillb a considerable dis? trict for ii loug time, though he hus few Dominican folio wot H. Luperon has latoly created distil b atices itt tho North of tho 'island, but it could uot bo discovered that either Ol these leaders had a fl ig or- organized governuicut, eveu iu form.' Incessant trouble from such leaders led the popu? lation to agree? to tile Spanish occupa? tion; but tho harshness of the rule of Spam, the folly of many measures udopted und a fear of ro-enslavernent led to the driving of ibo Spaniards from the island. The population is fixed at 1G0.000. Many of the richest portions of the island are uninhabited. The people had generally heard of tho question of an? nexation on nil parts of thc Uland; and it hud beon discussed everywhere. There was a nearly unanimous feeliug that beitou aud tran?} ditty could come only from annexation. The grouter friendship tor the United States than for other powers is due largely to colonies which went out to thu island years ago Tbe people soem moro unanimous for annexation than the commission hus i known any people to bo upon any great political question. Au exceedingly sundi portion IS opposed to annexation, uud I these ura' chiefly truders-Or agents ol foreign bouges, whofJ?biif i ness would suffer by tho chunga. Tho comuiissiou, abd all connected with it, traveled iu all parts of- the island without gu trd or wea? pon, aud in perice' safety. The physical, mental und moral condi? tion was found much batter tb ii wai au t ici put ed. Thc population is aliuosl wholly of mixed blood, in every conceiv? able degree.
