COLUMBIA;, s c. Sunday Morning, November28,1874. ?J Per Cent. When, in August, we took some pains to show how Radicalism was raining Golnmbia, we were rapped over the knnokles for it by onr Radical city contemporary. Bat now it soes more clearly, and is ready to aid the people in giving "the municipal autho? rities a thorough overhauling." This will, doubtless, be done at the people meeting whioh is called to-morrow, at 12 o'clock. It is proposed by the new city ordinance to raise enpplieR for 1875, to collect a tax of 2%. per cent, on the value of all real and personal property, whioh, with the addition of per cent. State and County taxes \ and a searching license law, will make about 5 percent, for those who paj ?ioenBe and 1 for others. That is the music which the people are called apon to face, and it is not surprising that they do not relish the sound. The Clerk reported in our columns, yester? day, that there will bo a deficiency (estimated) to be provided for in 1876 of $85,365.25, even supposing tbe present levy to be paid. That is tbe prospect ahead, and it is not encou? raging to business men or any others. Tbe citizens naturally feel curious to know how the city has been brought into each a deplorable condition. This would be difficult to show, but we catoh a little light here and there. At a meeting of the City Council on August 24, of the present year, the City Clerk reported that prior to the fiscal year 1873 no specific tax was levied to pay interest upon the city debt. In the years 1873 end 1874 there was levied a tax aggregating fifteen mills for this purpose. There was realized from these levies from January, 1873, to August 1, 1874, $60,556.34. The amount of coupons Todeemed during that period was $44, 450.75. "From whioh it appears," said the Clerk, "that the sum of $16, 105 59 was diverted from the special interest fund to pay current espouses." What is to be done abont this? At this came meeting in August, the Clerk reported the oity debt to be, as far as he had been able to ascertain, $703,113.13. This shows an addition to it of over $353,000 in four years, or nearly $90,000 a year. Tbe Legisla? ture, in March, 1872, authorized tho Mayor and Aldermen to borrow money and to issue bonds for the purpose, "to an amount which, togther with the outstanding indebtedness of the city of Columbia, shall not exceed the snm of $600,000, it being thereby in? tended that the whole indebtedness thereof, whether by bonds or other? wise, Bha.ll at no time bs increased beyond the said snm of $600,000." What is to be done about tbat? In otber days we got along very well with a tax of one per cent, on real estate. This was estimated at $3,500, 000, and yielded $35,000. Lioenses yielded about $20,000 more, and made the oity income $55,000, which was enffijient for an economical and honest government. But since, through in? crease of taxation on real estate, and tbo addition of the tax on personal, and increase of tbe amouut received from licenses, tbe iucomo bus got to be about $115,000, the oity has been in constant embarrassment. It baa to barrow money a* ruinous taten. It has to pay its employees by note3 re? ceivable for taxes. It is compelled to resort to shifts continually. And now, having exhausted all expedients, but those of reduction of salaries, curtail? ment of expenses, abolition of useless offices, and rotarn to strict and capable administration of oity affairs, or re? signation of offices tbey ore plaiuly in? competent to fill, the Council mako a 2% peroent. grab at the pockets of tbo tax-payers to half help them out of their difficulties. But tbo citizens who pay the taxes prefer to look into the matter of debt thns piled up against them, by those whom they did not choose to govern their affairs in tbis stylo, or, as for that, in any style. Two &nd a half per oent. is too digging for' a luxury of tbis kind. It is time to call a halt and see exactly what is the matter, and to apply a remedy, if any can be fonnd. There are Borne good natured and well-meaning members of the Council, besides the jolly and well meaning Mayor, who will Agree with os tbat the thing can go on no longer on tho present schedule. Gkant.?The Richmond JJispatcli pats tho Presidential question thus: Re-nominate Qrant and there oan be bat two.results?either the North will repudiate him and elect a Democrat, or else Grant will be oleoted and tho Nortb thoroughly converted to the Soutbern theory of tho nature of our Govern? ment. - Tho ucncral Assembly. We bave had occasion to notice the good order and excellent temper c! the present Legislature. The first weok of the session has closed, with a decidedly good tendency. The pre? sence of a bettor element in its com? position is very manifest. It bas not yet had oppnrtunitp to display itself in foil force, but the proceedings after tbiB dato will become more scriotiB On Tuesday, the inauguration of tin i Governor-elect will take place, ana bis views und general policy, wo are given to understand, will then bo fully indicated. Wo cannot anticipate them, but measures of reform are so^yesieu by tho goneral voice of the country, and demanded by tho necessities of all partios and clnsses in this State. Seve? ral resolutions looking this wuy huvo already been introduced in the Houso of Representatives. Wo wait to see what tho present week will more fully develop. When we have tho new Go? vernor's message, and learu the consti? tution of the oommittecs, particularly those of Ways and Means and Privi? leges and Eleotionain the lower House, we shall be able to better judge what is in storo for os. Tho business of re? form ia a grave matter, and if entered upon earnestly, will bavo to bo con? ducted in the midst of many difficul? ties, drawbacks and complications. But we will not attempt to forecast how it will fare. We shall see what we shall see. Who la He? In the proceedings in the Houso of Representatives, on Friday, wo observe a bill offered by Mr. Copes "to pre? vent one person from holding more than one office of profit and trust." It is doubtful whether it is altogether | fair to single out a person in this way and plaoe him under legislative disa? bility. Why shonld all tho world and the rest of mankind be unrestricted in the right to hold all the offices of profit aud trust they can get, and "one person" bo thus ruthlessly limited? Mr. Oopes ehows some delicaoy in not bruiting his name about to provoke the jeors^of succeBsfal rivals. Bot we have a consumiog curiosity to know who he is and how he cm live and sport a diamond breast-pin upon only one office of profit and trnst?

By a pri? vate letter from Edgeficiu, wo have received some additional particular* of tho murder of Mr. John W. Lagone, of that County, to which reference was made in yesterday's Puucnix. Mr Lagone had been to Augusta on busi ness and to escoit two brothers a por? tion of the way on a journey they were about to make. Ho hud returned to Johnsou's, on the Charlotte, Coltini bin and Augusta Railroad, wbon he mounted his horse, and, in company with au acquaintance, was riding along the public road, whou two shots wore fired from a thicket, causing Mr. L. to fall from his borso, iu tho ago? nies of death. The animal galloped homo, followed closely by tho fright? ened mule npon which his companion was mouuted. It is known that Mr. Lagone kad about $150 on his person, but the mnrdetor oarried it off, as bis pookets were empty when found. The deceased waa a brother-in-inw of Mr. J. N. Huffman, of the Fork. Tho Au? gusta Chronicle and Sentinel says: "Trucks wore found near the clnmp of bushes from behind which the fatal shot was fired, aud traced to tho house of a Buspooted negro. The shoes of tho latter were found to corruspond exactly with tho tracks. Mr. La grono's hat was not fouuil, nor was thero any money on his person, although ho had $150 wheu bo left Augusta. It is a remarkable fact that several members of the Lngrono funnly havo boon killed within two hundred and fifty yards of the spot where tho rooent assassination tookplaoo. There j ure only three of the male mombers of I family left." A colored man, named Andrew Gar-1 roit. committed sniaide. in Beaufort County, a few days ago, by shooting himself with a shot-gun.

A Washington correspondent tele? graphs that the President has become| so utterly disgusted at tho manage? ment of affairs iu Arkausus that hol gave a gentleman, who called upon him Tuesday relative to that matter, to understand that bo did not want to bear auy more about it. Ho did not intend to interfere except it should bo come absolutely necessary to maintain tbo public peace. The representatives of tbe different factions now ut Washington are greatly disappointed at tbe President's course. They sup? posed tbat be would at ouce recognize Smith, und then follow up bis action with a supply of troops. Senator Dorcoy, of Arkansas, is now satisfied that bis friend Smith will have to tight it ont on bis own account. But all is peace and quiet in tbe State. A Cakd to Sensible People. ? IS i tioual reader, if the aspect of tbe wea? ther was uncertain, you would not be foolish enough to venture out without an overcoat or an umbrella.
