The Accounts of the Abbeville
Banner.
Our friends will bear in mind that
we have no control over tho nceounlw
duo the "Banner" office. They are
the property of tho former proprie- j
tor, IIr. W. "YV. Farrow. We bought!
onl}'tho material, and good-will, nnd'

THE LEGISLATURE.
The proceedings of the Legislature,
so far, have been unimportant,
nnd it is supposed, that they will
close their work by Christmas.
"With their immense majority, the
Radicals are able to carry any of their i
measures. In the Senate there arc 61
Democrats, 7 negroes, and 18 white j
Radicals. Fortbe Senate from Ab-j
bevillo there are two claimants?j
Colonel Cothran, (Dem.,) who was
legally elected, and Mr. Guflin (Rad.)J
who was defeated. In tho House |
there arc 15 Democrats, 72 negroes, j
and 30 white Radicals.
The Senate Committee on Elcc-i
tions have not vet resorted unon the!
. i
Abbeville election case. It is saidj
that the Committee will likely report i
iu favor of the c'.aim of Colonel'
Cothran, but that the result in tliej
Senate is doubtful; and that they .
will probably refuse to admit cither
claimant, and declare the scat va-'
cant.
Apart from the titles of tho bills:
introduced, we hare 6eeu but little j
to indicate the charactcr of the
pending legislation. The moat ex-j
treme measure introduced seemsf
to be a bill to authorize the issue j
of State bonds to the amount ofi
$2,000,000, to purchase homesteads
for the laboring classes.
Reports not very complimentary
to the present Land Commission;1
are in circulation: Says a corres- 1
pondont of the News: tvThe3r speak
of s. prominent member of the
Legislature, who bought a tract of
land for $7000 and shortly after sold,
it to the commission for ?22,000;
. of a Judge who bought a tract for
$300 and sold it to the commission
for $1200. Some* of these delegates
have asserted that land (somcj
r\f nm rfni'iiK* ?>
w- ? W4VU t?& V) uuiltig U. LIVll Ui (
the year, under water, and others j
mere "pino barreus,") have been
purchased by tho commission at
rates which only the most fertile
lands in tho vicinity would bring,
and some of them pluiuly hint at
collusion between the sellers and
the agents of the commission.
Another report is, that F. L. Cardoza,
(colored,) Secretary of State,
and a member of the Advisory
3Board of the Commission, has re-:
signed because of hi3 disgust at tho!
corruption which existed in the op-1
erations of the commission.
It is said that the recommenda
tion of the Governor, in hi9 raes-j
sage to the Legislature, to ^'takc j
ioto consideration the propriety of
authorizing the State Treasurer to
meet in future the interest due on
the Statu debt in specie," has occasioned
if report be true, the
hatching of a bill to provide for
the payment of priucipal and intertL.

candidates are Judges Orr,

The Labor Convention In Columbia. ul
ft
During tho past week tho much ci
talked of Labor Convention met in ti
I Columbia, and after a few days'ses- b;
pion, adjourned without being ablo to ?i
|do anything to realizo tho antieipa- O
tiens of itx projectors- It is not tin;it*
first tirao in human affairs that the e:
vigor and micccss Of the performance p<
j has fallen short of the "loud and'bi
| sounding phraso of tlio manifesto." I it
j Called for partisan purposes, and toin-jti
laugurato a war of labor upun capital j ui
;in tho interests of Radicalism, there tj
! was, as a matter of course, tho usual i tv
number of inflammatory harangues, jt'ii
and denunciations of white employ- rc
crs, but the Convention very wisely. A
abstained from the attempt to iix the w
rates of labor. J at
A member from Orangeburg offered
a resolution?which was laid on the ev
{able, after much discussion?that the! pi
follo-.ving rates of wages be given to!
laborers for -cultivating cotton and [
corn: First class. $15 ; second, 812 ;" t
third, 69 per month, and th laborers |
shall receive in addition to the above -0f
3 pounds bacon per week, peck corn,
quart molasses, pint salt, fur his' no
hoard; and if working for a rdiarc of
the crop, they shall receive one-half
of all th?- provision crop, and one-lit.
third of the cotton raised upon the j-f]
farm. The planters to furnish all the
farming utensils and sufficient horse jX;
power to cr.rry or. tho farm. ;
Tho Convention contented itself*
vvith adopting a memorial to be pre-;mi
sented to tho legislature, praying!th
that body to provide by statute, |,.(1

that the lalioiing clashes may have a fair repre j nj

practically denied them in the rural districts, w,

6, That when lands are 6old under execu
lion, the sheriff shall divide them as nearly as uu
practicable, into tract* not exceeding fifty acres af?
each, in order that the email capitalist?mny o\
be enabled to purchase.
We bdiave that this measure will gr.atly fa- j tr
cililnte the aeq'iiiition of land by the landless I 52
nn-1 lh?t it can be rendered legally practicable
by provid ng that the decree ot s?le,' in each D
case, shall declare that only so mneh of the >n

judgment.

Your memorialists are satisfied that the et* p
actmem of the laws herein prayed for will be jsl
of vast benefit to the ngucoltura! lib"rer, aud IV
will gra itly tend to advance ilia industrial rt- \ g;
construction of the entire State. I
The above requirements are com-j
paratively harmless, bdcI we suppose j In
that to them no serious objection can Ia
bo urged. The planter will likely not ^
object to giving his employee a lien aI
upon the land aud crop for the paymontof
his wages, or making his suit ^
for the recovery of the same a pro- n,
tprrcd claim upon the Docket. in
The appointment of a County Com- ai
rnjBsiOQor to approve contracts be- .
tweeb employer and employee, can
do no harm, and may bo productive ol
of good, inasmuch as it will relieve
the planter of tho odium of driving -F
a bad bargain with the laborer. Tho c<
objection to multiplying officos, and
ihuq increot-itig the' taxation, is the ^
most serious one that can bo urged,
and applies with even greater force to

We direct ntU?ntioii to tho cominuication
which comes to us from seveil
of tho most prominent and rospoc:d
citizens of Cokosbury. It brings
> tho light one instance out of many,
bieh aro daily occurring, and which
l'o fast driving our people beyond
lat limit, " beyond which forbearneo
ceases to be a virtue," Some
ivolous complutnt is made by mi
inployee bef'oro a neighboring roagis ate,
which ho treats as it deserves,
y disregarding it, Tho laborer iuilediately
postr-ofF to tho " Sensation
fliee " at tho village, and pours his
lie of fancied wrong, into too willing
ira. A warrant is issued, and some
otty ofiicial "armed with a little
I'ief authority," proceeds to exercise
, upon the best citizens of tho Disict,
by arresting them,- frequently
iider circumstances of great indigni',
and hurrying them off fil'teeu or
\eut3* miles to the village. In the
i.sc at C'okesburv, the attempted ar.st
is by a colored Constable from
bbeville, who did not produce the
arrant for his arrest, or show the
ithority under which he acted.
Why are magistrates appointed in

ovido against this very evil ?
