Tho v poople were led to bope for some reform on the part of our law-makers, the Legislature being composed largely of new men; bat this hope is dissipated* by their first action, proving (hat they are but little better tban their predecessors. Mr. Patterson boasted of the fact of buying up votes sufficient to secure his mat in the United State* Senate. There wore even candidates ; viz : J. J. Patterson, R. B. Elliott, R. F. Graham. P. J.

Columbia Correspondence of the Enterprise. Columbia, S. C., December 15th, 1872. Mr. Editor?The past week has been rather replete with matters of interest and excitement In the legislative and politeal circles. Until theeleotion on Tuesday, there was much doubt as to who would fill the position of United Statee Senator tor six years in the plaee of F. A. Sawyer, whose terss expires the 1st of March, prox. The Conservative members of the Senate and House bald a caucus tbe night before, and agreed in tbe first plans, not to vote at aoy time for either Scott, Patterson, I or Elliott, the then most prominent candidates. I Secondly, to concentrate on either Chief Jus? tiro Moses, F. A. Sawyer or Judge Graham, as soon as any ons of them developed enough ^ of Republican strength united with oar vote 8 to win tbo election. This accounts for the ? scattering rote of the Conserratiros on the o fijst ballot, which was purposely done. As f your readers know, it requires a majority of J' all tbo votes enst in each houso to sccuro an ^ election. " Honest" John Patterson rtndica- ^ ted his reputation as a man of business, by si polling on tho second ballot, a majority of one )' in the Senate, and on the first ballot, a major- a ity of two in the House, losing as yon see but ^ little ammunition. As is always the case, va* v rious rotes wcro changed to him, and appear ,t on the socond after tho abovo result was d known, making his majority appear larger.? n Various bills of publio interest, and some of publio utility, amending the code and other matters havo passed their three several read- ? ings in eno branch of tho Legislature, but as si none havo passed throe readings in both, it ' would bo premature to tiamo them yet, Tho n tax levy has been the main matter of interest ?. in legislation during the week, and tnnch dis- p enssion had upon it in the house. The main ti feature of the fcrll as you know, arc a lory of five d mills for current expenses, two for education, three mills for county purposes, and fire for * dcOcicnces of the past fiscal year. The Con- c servatives were united in their opposition to a the section for doficicnccs, until all dcficicnccs o of the past year wero itemized, and the levy 'j mndo specifically to cover them. A proviso was also introduced that certain claims of ae* knowlcdgcd validity and prossing character, i| should be the first paid from tho proceeds of h said tax. On these grounds tho Conservatives ' voted almost solidly against the hill on its ?' final passage in tho hou?c. It has now goae ?o Om i- ??- -- - ...... n.u lie up n 1 inai nuirj to- a morrow. Senator Donaldson and tho other y Conservative Senators will probably take about the same position upon it, and endeavor " to secure some guaranty that the proceeds of n the deficiency levy shall not be paid out ex cept on unquestionable claims. The danger n is that most of the proceeds will be gobbled up '' by tho huge printing claim (which is but a '' balance) of $.125,COO and pay ccrtifioutcs (also * a balance) of$230,000. A strong effort will be ? made to baro both of these claims thoroughly it investigated, but there is no telling what a c South Carolina Legislature will do. No levy J is proposed to pay interest on the public debt, 11 If Judge Orr resigns we will have to eleot a Judtto fur the Eighth Circuit, during the pros- j out session. Tho Oreenville delegation aro all -j well and at tboir posts. Thus far the 34 Con- tl servstivo members of tho House and Senate, ? havo acted in perfect concert, on all matters of importnnce. Both House* will adjuiirn U from Friday the 20th, until the 7th of January J proximo, yours truly, > 8. 8.

Would euoh persona then be likely to invite any who ought not to be here? It Is preposterous I Cannot even 'Uncle Sam" see that the hall tnu$t ba a well-conducted affair, or ladies will not atend f Suppose a few persohs are present, with whom some of the company are not in he habit of associating, what hatra can be lone by merely being in the same room with such persons t Does not the same .hing happen nl pio-nioe, and everywhere! )nly the ball-room ha* this advantage?one leed never recognise a ball-room acquatn,i>ncf. "Uncle Sent,1* no doubt, approves <>f >io-nio<*?thinks them eminently moral and >roper. Now, who oan deny that at a pioIto there is often a much more promiscuous issemblage, and vastly mors opportunity or eontacl with improper persons! At a lance, most of the time is taken up with ianctng, the partners are changing con itantly, and really very little time a allowed fot conversation ; where-* is, at a pic-nic, when two peo >le get together, they often have to rensln so for hours, no matter how diasgreeible it may be to one of the party. Again, firle gcnernlly occnpy themselves at pieties screeching and screaming at the eight if spiders and bugs, as if they had dclhinm renieos; and at most to-called convertsion (!) parties, the company engage in nme ridiculous romping gnnte. nnd instead if aoting like rational beings, they spend in evening racing round and round the ootn, like a party of lunatics. How mttch nore sensible is dnm-ing, where the peodo sre not only enjoying an agreeable exroisa and recreation, bat behaving themelves like ladies and gentlemen. "In the second place, it is injrri<>us to lealth." Of eoor-e it would be Injurious to ;o to one ball after Another, nnd thus be np light after niaht: but is it ?i ?ll ut-i _ - . ? V ?"

It is u?t haU so dangerous s sitting about at a pic-nie nil day, on the lamp ground. 11 Unrhs Sam " surely has ever danced, or ha would know that it is very heating exercise. If a girl 's in pary cos'utii", * he is perfectly safe, with pros er precautions; the room* are generally rann, the dancing keeps her so, and when he go s out, she has comfortable wnpa rhioh protect her until she reaches Imnie? I least, that is the case w ith girls whom ne generally meets at dnnoes. Probably Uncle 8am a ' have not sense enough to ut on warm covering, or lie is too stingy ? prnviJe it for thein ; then, of course, the aiming ought not to l>c blamed I "Third, it lends to make one light mind d." Is it Irtte that tins ia "universally ad lilted ?" Persons are generally light-hem t> d at a dance, just as they nre at a concert, converssl ion parly, or any commonly rec gniz d innocent place of amusement; and he dancing at the one is merely the expres inn of this, as laughing or romping may e at the other. As to " the feverish exitenient in the preparation for the dance,'' list it all hum'-tig. A young girl probably ?rls more of this "feverish excitement* bene play ng at a concert, or even neting n* deswomnn at a Church fnir, than ever heire a ball. It ia tine, that "serious retlea ion" msy We "excluded," hut would not ny nrnusem-nt have the same effect, and et he perfectly harmless I Who ever ioi ul^es in "serious reflection" while playing n the piano for a friend t And must plsylg on ill" pinno he howled ai as "this most hominaM* and pernicious practice ?"

Lastly, what does he mean hy " all the issipstion of the ball-room," and eotnparng it to *'ihe horrors of a drunkard's life?" here is shout as much connection between lie two, as between sn organ in a Church nd a negro break down. "Uncle Sam," ain afraid you are a sad old fogy ; you id not le iru to dance while you were ouvg, and now it is ' sour grapes" with ou.

Tee, it is plain "Uncle Sam" la tn tavor of a in ion; hut methinks he lakes rather a ound about road to it, in assailing dancing -his aim is as crooked as his legs. Hut, in all seriousness, young people oust have some smusement, and where can i more harmless, agreeable, and even benficial one he found than dancing t So far roni its being a nervously exciting exer ise. it nrovidea an silminlitu browing off thcae feelings Old people ometimes dance, or resort to other me?m o get up an excitement: but with the oung, it is reversed, end they require omelhing to enable them to throw it off ? >o we not see children leaping end deneng when they are happy f Why, it ia e latuial impulse. Again, even if persona never intend to i?ep up their dancing, it ia well for them o learn how. on account of the eaae and race which it imparte to the movement*. Cvt-ry child ought to he mode to dance; he sill find that it will he of use to him in af er years, whether he becomes a deacon or dancing roaster. Now, a word in conclusion, for the round ances, (and let me nay, in the first place, hat it a exceedingly vulgar, to aay the east of it, to apeak of them as ''hugging ances") As to supposing that a. lady is Mowing a gcntlet ian to take liberties with er in dancing the round danoea, or that here ia anything analogous in them to sit* Ing in the same position in a parlor Is Imply stupid.

The eases are precisely he same. The position is never any mora nought of in s round danee than is the olding of the hand in coming down the teps. Those who have keen brought up in poto society have generally been in the h%b, of seeing round danees. and of partioipa. ng in them; consequently, whatever oh* ictioue there may be urged against them, I varied .Stock of Holiday Goods? liars given below. hiv? loi| el ice been erased from their mind*, ur ?li? aevvr had aoy . lodgtncpl there.

As a remedy for Dronchial Affections and ' Chronic diseases of the Lungs, nothing ever ' betoro discovered equals Dr. Pierce's (J olden Medical Discovery. The Culture of the Hair.? Just as sitrely as n soil infested with Canadian thistles can bo made to produce iino crops of golden grain, the > scalp now sparsely covered with harsh, dry, j unmanageable hair can be made prolific- of ' silken tresses. All that is necessary to effect 1 the change is tbe right kind of fertiliser.? I Leaving the agricultural chemist to determine ' | how the barren lands shall be made fruitful, wo | positively assert that Lyon's Kathairon is unequaled as a fertiliser and beautificr of the 1 hair. Tweoly Ave years of success is the basis 1 of this unqualified statement. During that time it bas been used by many millions of j both sexes, ar.d tbe first instance in which it has failed to fulfil the expectations of a rational purchaser has yet to be discovered. It will 1 not cause hair to grow on a varnished gourd ; but wherover the roots of hirsute fibres remain < undisturbed tt wilt cause them to put forth new shoots, and in all cases where the hair has become thin it will increase its volume. , Correct the Stomach. It is a well ascertained physiological faet that the origin of most of the ills that afflict humanity is a deranged condition of the alimentary canal. The bowels become constipated and sluggish, und tbence arises a traiu of painful and distressing maladies. As a preventive and cure, tboro is no remedy so safe and sure as Dr. Tutt's Vegetable Liver Pills. Wkst Poixt, Ga., Sept. 3, 1871. W. ?. Tun : Dear Sir?I have been an In/alid for flvo years, and have with fortitudo and patience i tried nearly every patent medicine known to tbo people without any effectual relief. It was suggested by some of my friends to tuko your Vegetable Pills, for which I am under obligations for said saggostion. It being a favorable one, I propose to stato the effects. I weigh more than I ever did, and mr health is far bet ter than it bun been iu five years. I certainly give all tbo credit to your Pills; and as soon as there is an increase in the family, you may bet if it is a male that bis name shall be Tutt. i Publish if you choose. J. A. DONALDSON. Dr. Tutt't Hair Dye ael* like Hagic The Hnm&n Body, its Waste and Repair. The body is undergoing continual waste, both in the voluntary processes of labor and action generally (mental as woll us physically) and also in the involuntary processes (respiration for example.) This waste must be repa i rod by the blood, as it continually circulates and corn us into eontaot with the various portions of the system ; and the losses of the blood must be supplied from food. As tbo material of tho body is derived from the substance of the food, so nil vital power is derived from force stored up in the food. Pood is organio matter in a state of molecular tension ; and when, in digestion, it becomes decomposed, this tension is given out in the form of physical forces, such as muscular power, animal heat and the like. Every thought that we think, every breath that we draw, avery slighteat motion or gesture that we make, wears away the organised tissues to some extent. In a healthy condition this waste produces a prop< rtionatn degree of appetite and digestive vigour. But in imperfect health it is not so. Eithor the appetite is deficient, or the forees of tho digestive organs are not adequate to convert into nutritious blood that amount of food which the appetite craves. Now Dr. Piseh's Bitteis is a tonic and stimulant adapted by its j ingredients to create an agreeable appetite, I and also in like degree to stimulate the dlges-1 ttve power*. When this mnoh ii accomplished, end the system onee put in the way 0f ap* 1>r?priating nourishment for iteelf, we nay ook upon the eure aa already effected. Time nd careful Bring will dojthe roat.
