Many and extravagant statements have been made regarding the assessment and collection of taxes, and those not fami? liar with the actual facta, when com? pared with collodion of revenue for the same purposes in other States, are doubtless frequently led to believe that taxation ia extravagant and unusual. I undertake to say that not a State in the Union has oollected less tux in the same length of time in proportion to its popu? lation and resources. The following is a correct exhibit of the appropriation of moneys, the levy of tax, collection of re? venue per annum, and the delinquent list for the years 1868,1869 and 1870: Total taxation for 1868, rate of taxa? tion, State, 7% mills, $1,338,742.19; total amount oollected, 1,163.053.28; delinquent, 175,688.91; total appropria? tions for the year 1868, exclusive of in? terest on public debt, for whioh no ap? propriation waa made, 817,968.28. Total taxation for 1869, rate, State, 6 mills, $1.014,901.83; total amount col? lected, 766,736.08; delinquent, 248, 165.75; total appropriations for the yeai 1869, inoluding interest on pnblio debt, $1,191,805.09. Total amount for 1870, State, 9 mills, $1,670,063.66; total amount oolloo tod. 1,146,037.06; delinquent 624,026.60 total aDDronriations for the year 1870 $1,604,058.54. Total delinquent taxes, $947,881.26 twenty per oent penalty, 189,576.25 total, $1,137,457.51. If the tares, os shown in the forego ing statement, had been paid, aa the: should have been, it would have save? the State at least $2,500,000 of bondel debt. BONDED DEBT. It mast net be presumed that the in crease in the bonded debt of the Stat is the oreation, iu any considerable de grce, of the existing administration This increase represents mostly liabili ties contracted under previous admioit trations, the form of the obligation, i some cases, alone being changed, whil a large fraction consista of bonds issue to meet the matured principal and a< arning interest of the ante-war debt, i order to maintain the faith and credit c the State. The $700,000 of bonds ii sued for the Land Commission form th only portion of the debt actually create by the present administration, and fe this the State baa an ample equivaler in the lands purchased, whioh will alt matety repay both principal andinterea By referenoe to the varions Acts cite in the foregoing statement of the Trei sorer, it will be soon that, with the e: caption of those authorizing the issue < bonds for the Land Commission, thc severally provide that a specified som < money sholl be raised on bonds of tl State, and not simply that a give amount of bouda shall be issued. Tl amount of bonds to be issued for th purpose was not specified by law, as oi Beonrities were untried, and, therefor had no determinable market value, the General Assembly had attempted I approximate the probable market vail of the new State securities, they won doubtless have rated them at not mo than five or ten cents on the dollar, pr vided that iu this they had beau guidi by the views of the opposition pre? whioh, in its efforts to break down tl State oredit, fastened apon these seoai ties, in advance, the stigma of a threi ened repudiation, and declared that tb would bo worthless to the holder. B it was believed by the Financial Boa that oar securities might be so made appreciate aa to be negotiated at p< and that $1,000,000 in our bonds won thus purchase $1,000,000. Aa the result of the ?inancial poli adopted, these new bonds commande in the early part of 1870, from 80 to per cent, of their par value, and so w satisfied was I that oar securities-be ing, as they did, six per cent, intere payable, in gold-wonld, in the natu order of things, farther appreciate, tl I refused my consent to sell even at th? comparatively high rates. This ap] rent confidence of capitalists in the St Government aroused its opponents ti combined effort to depr?date the bon and not only were the most activo ic vidual efforts made to discredit oar se rities, but even the Chamber of Cc meroe and the Board of Trade of Charl ton lent their aid to the scheme of predation. The exchangeable value a State bond depends: First, npon ability of the State to poy the intel npon it as it aoorqes, ana to redeem i maturity; and, second, opon the rec nized and acknowledged disposition i intention of those who administer affairs of the State, to provide for punctual liquidation of all its jost o g?tions. As the resources of the Si were, and are, unquestionably am; oven on an ordinary scale of taxation oompared with ita indebtedness, doss of persons especially hostile to State Government, and thc princi upon whioh it is founded, directed ti efforts to make it appear to capita that tho State administration waa rapt and profligate, and that a pop reaction had taken placo that would e bear them into power. Foanding t olaims to consideration upon these 1 pretenoes, and pretending to ropre the people of Sooth Carolina, they b ly proclaimed their purpose to rep ate all debts contracted subsequent the adoption of oar new State Cons tion. As, by this course of action on part of men professing to have the nor and credit of the State pooaliar heart, the purchasing value of tho bi was seriooBly diminished, thereby quiring-an increased amount in bom raise a gi von amount in money, it fol that they, and hot this administra are responsible for any undue inoi in oar bonded debt, apon the jost prinoiple that every mac is aocoun for the natural cons?quences of his tvQUr. Added to these osases for the de? cline in the value of onr securities was the manifest want of confidence among capitalista in the management of onr fiascoes by oar Financial Agent in New York. . ' In proof that this scheme to discredit the Oovern ment of the State has its ori? gin in political causes, I cito the follow- ; ing extracts from the' Ob or lei ton Daily News, a widely circulated journal, pub? lished at the commercial centre of tho State. The first of these extracts, taken from the issue of'that paper of dat? pf Joly 17,1868, but ten days after the now ' State Government weni into Operation, makes it evident that the determination to depredate our securities was formed -f almost simultaneously with the advent of the present administration,'end be? fore it could have rendered itself, by any ' I act of its own, obnoxious to thu charges of corruption or improvidence; ' " ?BAYOHKT' BONDS.-It would, doubt-; less, be a very comfortable thing if, the' debt of the State could'bo paid, or tho interest fonded, until the people, under a legitimate government, are able to meet their public obligations.' 'But this cannot be done by the motley Legisla? ture now in session |n Columbia; nor can they, by the issue of- 'bayonet* bonds, provide, SB proposed, for the de? ficit in the annual revenne of tho State. "The Legislature will, of course, bleed freely every property-holder in South' Carolina, and, aa long as they nauru the machinery of the law, may compel the payment of taxation. Negro Legisla? tors, negro Sheriffs and negro Constables may distrain, and there the s?beme of financial White-washing will come to a premature end. "Beyond this they cannot go. What capitalist would touch 'bayonet' bonds issued by our bogus Legislature? Would New York or Boston touch these bonds, issued by authority of a horde of uo groes, and in faoe of the protest of the white people of the State? Wonld not our Northern brethren prefer to wait until after November? "The State debt of South Carolina the debt now existing-will be paid to the iaat cent, whatever the General As- ' sembly may do; but no 'bayonot* bond, for whatever reason issued, will ever be i recognized by tho white people of the. State." I Beferring to tho Act of the General Assembly providing for the payment o? the interest on our State bonds in specie, the samo paper Bays, under dato of De? cember 1, 1869: "We can pay our debt as it stands. The question ls whether one year more of Badical rule will not so largely swell tbe total that the people will, at the first opportunity, shuffle off the weight of care, and repudiate every dollin of debt oontraoted after the war. ? ? * * # * "Had the Governor advised that tho war debt be paid-a debt contracted for the advancement of a canso in which our people embarked fortune, lifo and honor -an attentive ear and willing heart I would have met the proposal, and tbe whole subject would baie been consider? ed with kindly and generous care. * ? * * * * "Every merchant or financier docs see, or will sue, that the whole ?cheme is a job and a swindle. Beyond tim, there is the certainty that the law of specie payments will assuredly be repealed aa soon as property-holders and honest men have a majority in the councils of the State. This majority we shall have in leas than a year." The cry of repudiation thus raised by a large portion of the press, and con? tinued, with a shameless pertinacity, in the interest of a small and malignant po? litical organization, bas done much to produce the recent depreciation of onr securities, coming, as ifc did, at a time when the money markets were rendered peculiarly sensitive and stringent by va? rious causes. The debt statement mado at the meet? ing of tho Tax payers' Convention, in May last, and that furnished by me to the Congressional Committee, in Septem? ber, were correct, to the best of my knowledge, at those dates. My informa? tion as to the sale of bonds was then necessarily limited to the amount re? ported by the Financial Agent and Trea? surer. $2,200,000 of tho amount of conver? sion bonds, issned as above stated, were signed by me for the express purpose of withdrawing from the market and can? celling an equal amount of those issued and hypothecated nnder the Acts for re? lief of the Treasury, the payment of the interest on the public debt, and for the Land Commission. They were signed abont the time the Tax-payora' Conven? tion assembled. Subsequently, the Financial Agent represented that the rapid decline in tho value of oar State securities disabled bim from getting con? trol of the bonds deposited as collate? rals, and to relieve which these conver? sion bonds were signed at that date. The action of that body, and of the Charleston Board of Trade, in reference to the proposed sterling fand loan, warn? ing capitalists abroad against ita negotia? tion, and declaring that, if negotiated, it should never be paid, had'a most dite ostrous effect upon our securities, and thereby compelled a large and rapid ic crease in tho volume of oar bonded debt, At the time the sterling fund bill was en' acted, I deemed its policy a wise one and it was endorsed as a good finanoia measnre, by many leading finanoiers both in thia State and in New York. It design waa to replace our securities, al ready issued, with a uniform class o bonds, many of such securities not bein/ a good delivery at the Stock Exohang in New York. This loan was calculate! to commend itself to capitalists, foi while it changed tbe form of the deb advantageously, it was guarded with tb irropealable restriction that its proceed Hhould be "exclmively used in exchani for, or in payment of, the existing publi debt of the State.-" Its very terms thus show how unwa: ranted was the action of the Conventio in stigmatizing it asan intended inoreai of the bonded debt of the State. I view of all the facts in tho premises, tb sterling loan, thus discredited in a< vance, was not put upon the market. The gentlemen who guided tho aotic of the convention, on questions < finance, expressed, as a further obj ec tic to the loan, their want of confidence j the Financial Agent in New York. 1 evidence of tho real purposo, and tl wantonness of these systematic attacl upon the State credit, I would montic that I thereupon proposed that tbi should designate the syndics, or agen for tho negotiation of the loan, both : London and New Ysrk. I further pr posed, with the unanimous consent the Financial Board, to guard holde under this loan from loss, through ai possible subs?quent notion of the GOD ral Assembly in regard to it, by entorii into such stipulations on behalf of t!
