The Proposed Income Tax. WASHINGTON, NOV. 30.-AD income tax will be a conspicuous feature of tbe internal tax schedules upon which the majority members of the Wa vs and Means Committee are now working:. Details of the pian are gradually assuming de6aite form. It will ex? empt Individual ii comes and will apply .only in g?nerai to inheritances aud ; corporation?. Bata furnished by the Treasury Department show a that during the ten years the tax was in existence, the receipts ia rouad uumbers were ^247,000.000. High - water mark wa? reached tn 1866. During that year the receipts aggregated $73,000,000. aod in the year following they were $67.000.000. The great increase tn population and wealth since then leads the committee to believe that a tax ou corporations alone will furnish con? siderable of the amount of revenue needed to supply the deficit caused by the reduction in tariff duties Chair? man Wilson now believes that ?35, ^^n^^ftJiiL*^^ in bili just made public fie reached the conclusion after a careful examination of the new tariff bills, and >hi?-con? clusion is shared by Secretary Carlisle, with whom the chairmae bas bad re? peated conferences A tax of ld eeota a pack on playing carda has been suggested, and will non doubt be adopted, as all the majorrTvl members ^ar^be^jj^pp^i^'^orS The committee has reached no under- j stauding as yet (regarding whiskey, 'Ti' is not likely that the ?fax viii % ! increased bey oct d 10 a&cn*^ ?'rg??lo?; | . with a fair probab?itj^ tlrat*lr may.' remain untouched. ~ f.-?>-> i i mm -- Richard I Manning, a Representa tive from Sumter County, is preparing a bill embodying the Austral.au ballot Syrern, which he will offer at the next session of the Legislature. The Spar? ta, n has on several occasion* given this plan of voting, ft is fairer 'hau the eight-box law. Of course it* imposes' an educational qualification, for the man, who eau neither read nor wrire, cannot vote. Several Southern States have adoptai rta plained they^a^em ti? * like it" lt insures a fair vote, lor each voter makes out his own ticket and no j one is allowed to supervise it. Several separate stalls aire arranged near the OCX. Tbe managers hare all the ticket?, each one of watch ; con ta tai. t he names of all candidates to be voted for. As the voters file in, each is ?applied with a ticket. Hejggea roa stall where ? s be will find a de^fci^afl pea or ..pencil. He erases the "names of the candidates he does not wi?h to vove tor; or thc Uw may provide for marking thc name of the caudidatea vot? d fdr. The voter is allowed so much time to prepare his tick^Jbc>spoilsv one ne returns it and gets) ?aejbnd ofe^v' There caa be j no cheating, or buffing of the ballot i box. We hope the legislature will pass ; The eliteness witbV?tfch Sen? ator Bu?r^bW the qwestion" in writing of Oes. Hampton's proposed league of Democratic erras ts worthy of admiration. Judging from his let? ter, he ia not cogorxan* of any defec? tion from Democracy ia South Caro? lina ; he does not know that there are irreconcilable principle? involved tn the contest here ; he ts oblivious of any purpose to subvert thc party and make its organisation the bond-slave of Populism. He think? peace and harmony good things that ought to be bad. Peace, he says, "eau be secured on perfectly honorable terms if our people are allowed to get together."! We infer from this that it is only the ; malign influence of party politicians j which keeps Democrats and Republi- ! cans throughout the Union from rush- ; ing into each other s arms and forming j one grand joint-frock political asso- j elation, with a common head and an ? omnibus electoral ticket. As the Sen- ? ator is so apprehensive of au appeal j to the negro vote resulting from aJ Democratic organisation on the lines i laid down by Wade Hampton, we hope j he will come to Columbia and induce j the Legislature to prevent negro mle j by passing the Australian ballot law. ! -State !
