Charleston, April 4.?Dear Sir : You

the State tax on neg-ocs will fooii be increased
to five dollars per capita, ami that
ibis belief lias been adopted on the authoriiy.of
Mr. Greg?.
The opinions of this gentleman on all
practical subjects are always listened to
with attention by the public, nor am I
disposed, on the present occasion, to treat
them with levity ; xt the Baine time, vre
should all liavo a suitable respect for our
own understanding, and not le willing to
yield our convictions implicitly to the con..
irol of. mere authority, or shut our eyes
ngainst the perception of plain absurdities,
through blind respect for their imputed
nultjorej^ ?
was really said bv Mr. Gregg in I
Iiis speech at Edgefild Court llouse, in
November, (if that is the occasion referred
to) was that if the road should cost Si 2..
Op.0,000, the tax on negroes would be raised
lo $2.50?not'$5, I believe. Before proceeding
to examine the correctness of
this opinion, we will briefly review one or
two other statements made by the speaker,
in order to show how little safety there
isvyi accepting, without examination, tlie
iof&rnpalio!) or reasoning even of the most
practical and experienced.
Speaking of tlie Erie Railroad, of New
York, he alleged that it had cost forty
millions of dollars, and the shares being
nAm f Al r\ a ? - 1 * *' " 11
nvn ai cnuu iur 9iuu paia in, 11 louowcd
that this great work was worth, in the csti
inalion of the public, only 5 per cent, on
840,000,000, or no more than ?2,000,00^
"Wbat are the real facts of the case ? They
are as follow : That the road cost ?34,000,
OOO; tiiat being built with $10,000,000 of
subscribed capital, and ?24,000,000 of borrowed
money, it folloi^B, when iho shards' .
will still sell at $5. that, in the opinfftmKof''
the public, the road is worth the entire sum
of $24,000,000 of mortgage debt, and
$500,000 of the subscribed Capital in addition.
In this there is nothing conjectural,
for there came from England in S.?n

English stockholders. \viih power to advance

therefore, wlio havo adop,tod^ho belief that
tlio tax on negroes may* be raised to^^a
each, lo meot'tuo ??quiremonts of tlio Blue
Utdge lload, slftirfil^ekatninu iho question
for themselves. Ilavo they cousldercd how
many negroes thero are in the Stajo?
Tlio numljfer is about 400,000, and a tax
of &5 each1* would produce a revenue o!
$2,000,000, whereas tlio interest 011 *12,.000,000,
t|}e extreme limit of Mr. Gregg's
most extravagant conjecture, is but $720,?
000. But ?2.50 was tlio tax with which
wo wgre threatened, not $5. Let us submit
this also to the_t<&t^f a rational examination,
The fir<t'ppint to bo deter
iiiiued i? llie'cfl&tfof the road. Mr. Gregg ;
says it will lie $12,000,000; but I submit
that tliis being avowedly 11 mere conjecture,
and coining froi? one so extremely infelicitous
in tlio solution of arithmetical problems,
is really entitled to no consideration
whatever, when opposed to the Estimate of
an engineer of the highest reputation,
based upon such data as tho actual careful
survey of tlio entire line, and tho exact a<*?
measurement of all tho work to bo done.
This estimate is $7,725,000, and it may be
cited in proof of its accuracy that the woik
already accomplished, amounting to onethird
of the whole, is entirely within the
imms ot Uol. (jwynu'a estimate. Tliis
should be conclusive as to the remainder,
for every description of work is embraced
in the progress already mado.
Total cost then being at $7,725,OCO
And the amount already expended
up to 1st Nov'r, 1859, according
to President's report,
boing 2,594,000
There remains to be expended to
nccompiisb the work 5,131,000

The endorsement of the State already

the amount realalizcd and expended

Leaving this amount $2,205,000
Klill Available for iho work' provided- funds

obstacle to the completion of this great

13ut who proposes to raise the lax, exclusively

j as follows: Tlio wholdo amount of taxes
raided last year was $(535,524 ; an addition j
! of $180,000 would require an inereaso of j
ahout 30 per cent, iu the rates. On 95 i

the road. 1 tut every reasonable thinker !
will repudiate so monstrous ail idea. II?
will admit thai llic rond must have a considerable
revenue. lie will concede to its
ftiends and supporters the reasonableness j
of believing, as tliey do believe, that with {
?1,000,000 more of subscription from the
State and ?1,000,000 more of endorsement
they will be able to raise the remaining
?800,000 on the credit of the Company,
and the Company paying the interest on its
own bonds, for the performance of which
its ability may be fairly inferred from the
experience ot every Southern road, clie Stale
would lie left to provide the interest on only
5*1,315,000, or $78,000. This would require
an increase of 12j per cent, on la>t
year's lax. or about twelve cents additional
on every negro, and in proportion on other
property.
It would bo great presumption to insist
that these expectations will he exactly ful
filled ; a want of candor not to admit the
fallibility of all human judgment, and tho
disappointment to which the host founded
expectations of men are exposed. 13ut tho
fallibility of his judgment isiftot an argument
against ihe exercise of all reason.
And those who will agree to dismiss prejudice
from our counsels, and allow reason
her legitimate authorly, will pcrceivo that
the plain, practical and common, sense view
of this matter is the one hi*r? nrnRi :
f I
And if tliey are willing to admit, as all 1
should l?e, the possibility that the Stato
may be obliged to do somewhat more than
is stated ; that she 013' be called upon to
advauce somewhat more of-the ajigual interest
until the resources of tharoad are
fully developed, tliey will be as ready to
concede that in progress of time these re- i
sources will be multiplied find enlarged, as
in the case of ever^. railroad in tbis great
and growing country, and -the Stnte amply
repaid for her courage and munificence.
You ask how long the taxation to be imposed
will endure? The reply is very simple.
The Bank of the State from its annual
gains can pay $300,000 s>f putyig debt
