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 % !

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. !
