That the owner or holder of stock, in any in corporated company, liable to taxation on its cap ital, shall not he taxed as an individual, for such stock. Taxes which were anciently contributions ar bitrarily demanded at the will of the Sovereign, have in the present more advanced stale of politi cal science, been levied will, greater equity. Ac cording to the existing theory on this subject, they are considered as the portions of the. properly of individuals, which ea h has to contribute to the public treasury, to delVay the puUb. espouses.— From this definition, it would follow, 1. That all should contribute who have properly, and arc protected in person, and es tate. 2. That taxes ought to he assessed according to the nett income, of earh individual. 3. That they should never be permitted to in jure the sources of income. 4. That the ratio of taxea to income, should be ns small as possible, in order that the revenue of the State, as well as of the individual, may lie allowed to increase. It is not doubted that a tax which being uni versal in its operation, should he levied on nett income, without injuriously affecting its sources; and which should ho in the smallest possible ra tio, which the necessary expenditure of the gov ernment would pennil, would he the most equita ble. It would undoubtedly be so, in an old set tled country, where the value of property whs fixed, its productiveness in a great degree uni form, and especially, where the luxes were heavy. There is difficulty however, in the application of such a system, to a people chiefly agricultural, in habiting a country comparatively new, and in which the vclue, and still more the productive ness of property, are unequal, and fluctuating.— Happily, it is less necessary among such a peo ple, because the amount required to meet the ex penses of the Government, is so small, as to re lievo from all apprehension of pressing too heavi ly upon iml viduul income. In such a state of lb ngs, it is sufficient, if the objects of taxation, aresuchusnro ordinal ily productive of income. Income is derived, I, from land; 2. from person- i a 1 estate; 3, from moneyed capital; 4, from la- l hor. The last in the system proposed, is taxed i only hy the imposition of taxes, upon certain ’ species of personal property, hy the agency of which it is performed. Lunds, negroes, slock in trade, hunk slock, &c. &c. are familiar objects of taxation, under the present system. No reason ’ is perceived, why stock in other corporations than Ranks yielding profit to the proprietors, or mon ey at interest should not he equally liable.— J These have therefore been included. Stock cat tle. exempting a sufficient number for domestic uses, have also been considered as proper objects 1 ot taxation. The excess is kept for profit, and is productive of income. The same principle, after allowing a like exemption, is applicable to mules and horses, and is applied to each of these objects, t in some of the Stales, similarly situated with our own. i'ho exemptions proposed are those for the J most part with which we are familiar, being pro vided for in the present system of taxation, or I other cases to which they are extended, arc thought to bo within the spirit ot existing provi sions. This remark however cannot be applied to the proposal to exempt from taxation the pro perly ol a person whose real and personal estate docs not amount to hundred toi lers. It is proposed that such persons shall still he liable (o the capitation tax, lor the purposes of I education, but it is thought that they may he I safely exempted from nil other taxes, on the i ground that the income of so small an 4 amount of I pioperty must necessarily he consumed in the i support of the proprietor, and consequently that the tax would fall exclusively on his lalior. For the purpose of c irryiug out such a system it will lie necessary to have, 1. A census of each county. 2. A map showing the quantity and bound aries of lauds held hy individuals, distinguishing between those which arc owned by residents and non residents, and specifying such as are vacant, or unclaimed, if any such there me. The law should authorize and require the re ceiver to assess all lands not returned at their full market value, and to return such assemenet to the collector, who sluuild In* required, if the amount of tax is not paid after no tice in one or more of the public gazettes of the Slate, to proceed to sell the whole tract so assess ed, paying the -.urplus above the amount of taxes into the Treasury of the Stale, subject to the claim of the owner, if such claim be made within years alter the sale, and established to the satisfaction of the Governor, who should he au thorized to draw on the Treasury for the amount, in favor of the claimant. This course would be | justified by (he consid ration that tire State isin | tetested not merely in receiving the taxes on lands, but also much more so in having its lands occupied—and still further by the fuel that the requsition of oar present lax law. to sell such P«rl of land in default, as will be sufficient to pay the amount of taxes, lias had the effect of render ing most tax collector’s titles ineffectual and val ueless. In regard to lands which are found vacant, or unclaimed, the receiver should be required to give notice, in one or more of the pub lic gazettes of Ibis *>tule, particularly describing their location ami boundaries, mid stating that unless the same be claimed, and the taxes there- i on (which, if claimed, the receiver should be re quired to assess at their full market value.) he paid, ! the same will lie returned to the Executive De- i pari nient us vacant lends, and will be thereafter! liable to be sold, and granted by the IStute, on 1 such terms as the Legislature shill prescribe, al any time after the expiration of months from the time when the same are so re turned to the Executive office; with a further proviso slating that if any person claiming title to any land so returned shall within months after its return to the Executive office, present to the Judge of the Superior Court of the ' minty in which such land lies, a petition stating his claim thereto; the Attorney or Solicitor Gen eral shall lie bound to reply to the same, in be half of the State inatanter, and the said Judge shall cause the issue so made up to be submitted to and tried by a special jury, at the next term of the Court, whose decision shall lie final savinir to the Court the right to grant a continuance or new trial, according to law and usage; and that upon filing in the Executive Department a cer ■dicale of the pendancy of such petition, it shall be the duty of the Governor to forliear from sell mg or graining the said land, until the issue on such petition shall have been fi lla i| y j ecidcd ■ manner atoremud. | In the Counties in which the lands have been distributed by lottery, maps may be made and transmitted from the Surveyor General’s office, leaving to the County officer only the duty of ascertaining the occupants of particular lots, and which arc vacant. In those Counties in which lands have been granted on bead-rights, actual surveys will be necessary, but the expenses of both opentiona will be more than reimbursed to the Stale, by the course recommended in relation to defaulters, aud unclaimed lands, and the Slate will moreover have accurate maps of all the lands within its limits, and their several partitions, forany future exercise of the taxing power. For the purpose ot receiving the returns of all property, real and personal, liable to taxation, un der the Act, the Receiver, should he required to attend in each Captain’s district, for a certain number of days, to be specified in the act and of w iich he should give a notice, to be specified in like manner. He should be directed to receive all returns made to him, on the oaths of the person making them, and at such valuation, as they may affix ; but if any person should fail to make a return, or to affix value to the property, the Receiver should then be required to assess the annum of taxes due by such individual, with a right of appeal from such assessment, in such rnodras the Legis lature should prescribe. The Receiver should he directed to return to the Collector, a digest of the taxes so returned or assessed, whose duty it should lie to collect the same in the manner now prescri bed by law. It is recommended that the several Collectors lie required to deposit in certain banks, to he from lime to time designated by the Legislature, or if they shall fail to do so, by the Governor, the amount of their collections, the receipt of the proper officer of such bank, to entitle them to credit at the Treasury. E it-li person making a return, should be requi red to specify in district columns the several kinds of property liable to taxation underthe Act, and in ca»c of land, to specify its qualities and boundaries. The Comptroller should he directed to prepare and transmit to the several Receivers, a form of the returns to he made by individuals, and it should hr made the duty of the Receivers to cause such form to tic published in the nearest gazette, at least one month before the lime ap pointed for making returns. The Comptroller should be moreover required to prepare and transmit to the several Receivers, a form for the preparation of their digests, which each receiver should he required strictly to ob serve. All powers given to the Receivers, Collectors and other officers, by thei listing laws, not incon sistent with the provisions of the new act, should be continued to them. _ It is not easy to make a satisfactory estimate of the amount of revenue, which at any given rate of taxation, such a system would produce. The difficulty consists in fixing a just valuation on some of the objects of taxation, and in ascertain ing the quantity, as well as value of others. The operation of the system for a single year, would however, go fur to remove it. At present all that can he done, is to submit some data, from which to make a conjectural estimate, taking care to avoid excess in each particular. The lands of the Slate, estimated in round numbers at 35.5UU,0(10 acres, and at the low value of $3 per acre, give a taxable properly ofs 106,500,000 The Slaves in the Stale, estimated in like manner, at 243,000, and valued at S4OO ea h, give 97,200,000 Stock in trade from the books of the Comptroller General, also in round numbers, 7,000,000 The Capiial of Banks, and other monied slock corporations liable to taxation, by the proposed sys tem, and taxed as hank capital. Slock Cattle, liable to taxation un ilnrtkn \tro\muml aynlnm, Horses and Mules, do. Moneys outstanding, on note, bond or mortgage, Bank capital and that of other mon ied corporations, is not extended in this estimate of property, sub ject to the proposed general adva lorem tax because it is intended that it should he taxed as at pre sent. Looking to the foregoing enumerated objects o ' taxation, considering the low estimate of th< lands, and of the probable amount of those item in the list, whose objects have not been ex,endec Irom want of satisfactory data, it seems fair I. conclude that the value of taxable property in th- Slate, as thus defined, vould not tall short of twe him 'red and fifty millions of dollars. But if to secure to the State, a certain retnn of the amount which its necessities may requir* , we reduce it to two hundred and twenty milliom . we shall found our estimateolmost exclusively o these items, the qu entity of whi h has been ai cerluined, and on the low valuation, which ho i been attached to them. The tax on two hundred and twenty millior ; value of property, at such rat, advalorem. as th Legislature shall think proper to impose, wi t constitute the first item in the resources of th Slate. The second will ho the dividends on Ban' Stock. Tne next will he the notes and bills for ••••• money lent and discounted by the Central Ban!. It will of course lie desirable to ascertain wit c as much certainty as may be, the amount of ai • nual revenue, which such a system of taxatio t would produce. But ns it could not, even it adopted now, he made available furtheyear 184( , it seems proper first to consider what are the lii hililiea of the State for that year, and what ai i the resources which can be marshalled to meet them.

The citizens of the vicinity having assembled at the house of Dr. Elijah Hcut, formerly ot Abbeville District, S. 0., on the Bth of Novem ber, 1839, to perform for the deceased the last offices of friendship and humanity, and witness the solemnity of his interment; Maj. Jas. Ruffin was called to the chair, and Joseph J. Caldwell Esq., appointed Secretary, when the following preamble and resolutions were offered, by B. H. Rice, Esq., and unanimously adopted : Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God, to call from among us an esteemed neighbor and valued friend, in whom were united the polite, accom plished, and high-minded gentleman ; the social, enlightened and public spirited citizen ; the ten der, humane, sympathising and skillful physi cian, and the systematic, scientific and enterpris ing planter, whose appearance among us was hut of yesterday, whose residence here, though not long enough to entitle him to the privilege of citizenship, yet was long enough to attach and endear him to us while living, and to call forth our most sincere and heartfelt sympathy for his death, which came merciless in haste upon him, in a land of strangers, far from his native home— from his wife, his children, kindred and old and well-tried friends, whose presence would have consoled, and whose tender offices would have soothed even his expiring moments. Resolved, Therefore that as we appreciated and esteemed Dr. Elijah Hunt, during his short sojourn among us, as a pattern of manliness and intelligent worth, wc deeply deplore that stroke of providence which has, in him, so prematurely for us, blighted our hopes, and made heavy our hearts, Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with his distant, and unknown family, in their irreparable bereavement, and would comfort his weeping widow and orphan children, with the assurance, that though strangers tended his dying bed, yet his pillow was smooth, and around his grave the tears of sorrow fell. Resolved, That a copy of this preamble and resolutions, be forthwith forwarded to the family of the deceased. ‘‘ln vain tor him the officious wife prepares, The fire foir-blszing ami ih • vestment warm- In vain his lit lin ehi (Iren pee ing out Into the niii'glmg storm, demand theirsire )?“'• i™.« „i innocence; Alas ! >or wife tinr children abmi i.o n.hoid Aor triends norsacud home.” On motion of H.H.

Pos sessed of ;>.ll the qualities of mind and heart that endeared her in so eminent a degree to a large cir cle of re atives and friends, distinguished by all that characterizes exalted purity and worth, enjoy ing the benefit of a highly finished and accomplish ed education, added to great advantages of person and manners, how deep are the fountains of grief thathave been opened by this mysterious and af i flictive dispensation The young, the accomplish j ed, the talented, the joyous, the interesting mem ber of the social circle, the kind and affectionate j daughter, the ardent and devoted sister, the sincere i and constant friend, is no more! Long will her | memory tie cherished with the most enduring fond ness and affection, and her many virtues ran never . cease to be embalmed in the hearts of her nearest and dearest friends. To th sewho knew her inti mately, her disinterestedness of character her I sweetness of temper, her retiring disposition hei j great sensibility, her consistent and affable depoit ment. he -kindness to servants, and her charity to the poor, will ever be the subjects of delightful contemplation, and may wed be regarded as almost a modei for imitation. Her mind had long been drawn to the subject of religion, and for a period of twelve months previous to her death, she was deeply impressed with the important concerns of her soul, and the realities of a future state The biblc was her favorite book, an 1 she delighted to pore over its pure and heavenly truths; to dwell upon its precious promises, and to tal- of the hap piness and consoi tions of the Christian. During the protracted sickness whit h terminated her earth ly existence, she disp'ayed the greate.it patience and resignation to the wi.l of her heavenly father. Not a murmur or complaint escaped her lips, and all her fee-mgs and conversation indicated that the sentiment of her heart to ilod was, “Not my will, but thine he done.” She retained her reason o the last, and as the trying hour of dissolution ap proached, and she was told that she could survive but a short time, she united, at her own request, with her surrounding friends in frequent prayer, and she herself sang, as far as her feeble strength would permit, her favorite hymn, “I would not live always.” Such were the last moments of this most inter esting character, affording to her friends the great est of all consolation, that she was a believer in the truths ot religion, that her trust and hope was in the Lord Jesus Chris' as her saviour a id redeem er, and that she has gone to join the spirits of the just made perfect in a purer and better world.
