the display of idrtuous indignation on

; N6w this sum, large as it is, does
not look? so -tremendous, unless we
consider the condition of these States.;
Nearly -;or : all of ihem are more r or
less embarrassed with anti-war debtsy
or debts created since the war by the
natives br'.the carpet-aggers; : liook

is sd being 'waged between the true
people and. the 'Itepudiatiomsts. as
to i the boneatand-4ast way j of
disposing : of : the large ,. nd Top"
State Is taxed annually by the Fede-
ral. Government to the amount of
WILMINGTON,
nearly six million dollars. The taxes
thus taken- from the peopW of that
State for; Federal purposes, .would
liquidafeTihe State - debt in . a few
years. When we turn f to North
Carolina we find our people paying
nearly, two and a half million dollars
into the FederalTreasury; each year.
This is about three times as much as
the Sta'te 'raises by taxation for its
- i,"r ,,: ; .... ., . ,'5. .
own r purposes. ; Suppose a parlC of
this large sum ; could :be abolished.
Suppose, say - one "million or one mil
lion and a quarter was paid instead
of the present sum, there wpaldbe a
saving to our people of over $750,X)00
annually. The figures we published
recently showed that many tens-of
millions over what was needed actual
ly were collected as Internal revenue.
In faut,. eitamtSliaaotir
r " , . . . ,1
estimates for 1880-81, 'showed that
there was an actual surplus . from
revenue -pf.190,085,117.92, andithjrt
this surplus would , again arise ; in
1881-82. ' : Of this vast sum '$4i,639,-;
840 goes to pay off the war 4 debt,'
whilst nearly forty-nine million is . in
excess of all jdemands.t' Why not
then reduce the internal revenue?
Why continue to raise nearly fifty'
million -: dollars in excess annually?
Why oppress and burden the South
ern States with at least ten million
dollars more than is needed?
1 . luere, ought to be a change in the
Uaw so as to provide for a rrradual
reduction each year. We favor thisf
but, mark you, we favor also enough
taxation; to prevent the protectionists
f rom - increasing the tax raised by
foreign, imports. ''r ; & ' ' '
f The true policy isT(;to place tlie
Federal ? Government first upon an
economical basis. Then to reduce
the internal revenues. After this;
razee the war tariff and reduce the
burden upon tho people by this sys
tenrof indirect taxation.-4 Ascertain
What is necessary to carry on ; the
Goyernm nt and ) pay off tho : war
debt gradually, and then the Congress
should modify both tariff and inter
Lai revenue to meetthese ends.' This,
as it appears to us, is the common
sense way of procedure. It is surely
the just and moderate way-.of dealing
with the questions.

but it attached no importance to 'the
merely sensational parts. . We never
thought there were any good grounds
for the statement that Governor Jar-

dealing with the Richmond & Dan

.Referring to the rice crop in that section,

of interest just at this UmeV -' r: ;;?
"The rice market is unusually quiet; just
now, and but few sales are being made, Tbe
old crop is about exhausted,-and that por
tion of the new crop which was nearly ready,
for market has been destroyed by the recent
storm; hence the. receipt of any portion of
the hew crop has been delayed about three
weeks. !'. ;;.,-.;..,; '--ui ---
' "The Salilla and Altama'ha rivers escaped
with but slight loss. The jjreat Ogeechee,
suffered severely both from the washing of
its banks and from salt water; loss,' 50 per

damage on the Savannah fiver, particularly
those plantations nearest the sea coast, many
of them not only losing their entire crops,
but all their bouses, barns.and many of their
people. -Loss, 25 per cent, of the crop. : .. ..
"The Combabee, Ashepoo, Santee and
Cooper rivers are all badly salted and will
lose- ill the young rice, besides that cut and
on the stubble in and around Charleston..
Oh Pedee, Waceamaw and ' Black ' rivers,
