The House is arranged upon our mixed basis. Now, the effect of this combination is to give to the eastern or tide-water section of the State a majority in the Senate, which remains fixed without regard to the changes of popu- lation and property. On the other hand, the mixed basis Hon. Ml'scoe Russell Hunter Garnett 51 gives the majority in the House to the western portion of the State, and it is one of its recommendations that, if any county or section is overtaxed for one decade, it thereby b...ecomes entitled, in the next ten years, to an overshare of representation, so as to increase its power to correct this excess of taxation. It is a self-adjusting machine. And in taking the average of taxes for ten years, it not only secures representation from accidental variations of taxation, but it furnishes security that the majority will not use the taxing power to increase the future representation of its section. The Constitution of South Carolina is thus arranged upon the very principle which I have before advocated as true ; that is to say, it requires the concurrent assent of the two great interests to the passage of any law.
