The Old Hero Thinks " He Has Turned the (.'omer." For three days after the amputation of his leg, Gov. Hampton's condition was extremely critical. Then, for three or four days, be was reported as steadily improving-past the crisis. Thenagaiu, on Monday, tho sudden and horrifying announcement was made that he was certainly dying-was beyond ail hope. And now, as we go to press on Wednes day at noon, comes the cheering news that he has again rallied We subjoin the very latest telegrams that we can obtain. They are from the Augusta Chronicle and Constitutionalist, of Tues day and Wednesday: Co HTM BIA, December IC-Hampton's condition is deplorable. Tho absent members of bis family Lave been sum moned to his bedside, and the worst may bo expected. We are to lose h ?m. COLUMBIA, December 17.-Governor Hampton's symptoms are said to b? un favorable to day and his general condi tion an improvement on yesterday. He has certainly been much worse lor the past two days; but to day has rallied slightly. COLUMBIA, December 17, 9 P. M. Gov. Hampton's condition isstill critical. He, however, told a gentleman who saw bim at six this evening that he thought he had turned the corner. He takes nourish meut in model ation and alto gether his condition is more hopeful. THE VICTIMS. It is now ascertained that no less than forty Protestant ministers died of the yel low fever during the epidemic in the South. Thi? is a sad mortality. Whilst a few may nave run from thepestilence the min isters generally must have stood manfully at their posts, or there could not have been any such mortality among them. As far as we have been able to learn only some few Northern Methodist preachers fled. The Southern born remained with their flocks and, forty of them died on the field of duty. All honor to their memo ry. A splendid shaft, or a grand free memorial church should be erected to the memory ofthe forty martyrs. Some eight or nine Presbyterian ministers died in Mississippi alone of the fearful scourge, we believe. We have recorded the fact that thirty two Catholic priests are reported as hav ing perished from the same destroyer. The physicians, too, were great sufferers, and very many of them died. We have nor, seen an exact statement of the number. The scourge brought out some of the no blest traits of humanity, whilst also re vealing some of the ugliest and most re pellant characteristics of poor fallen hu man nature. "HARDTIMES." A recent trip to Charleston revealed to us, more clearly than we have before seen or felt it, the utter stagnation prevailing ia business. Not alone in commoicial circles is this depression felt. First,'the planters are falling behind, then the mer chants who have sold them goods upon time fall behind with their factors, and from these two centres of prosperity the sluggish streams of stagnant business per meate to all industries and all trade3 and professions. The cry of ;'hard times" is universal. Not alone is it heard here in our immediate locality, where severe droughts cut short our crop?, but from all parts of the State the cry is thc same. The question is not how "to tide our selves along," "waiting for the better times," but it is what policy to pursue by which we can regain a plane of solid, sub stantial, firm prosperity. The reply is an old one, so often heard that our farmers are grown weary of its repetition. Never theless, 60 full is it of importance, so preg nant of possible good results, that we re peat it. Omit planting so much cotton raise more hogs, oats, wheat and corn. For ourselves, we believe it would be a good thing if cotton went to three cents a pound if it would force our people to investments in the line of manufacture?, where our cciton would be converted into clothe, and towns would spring up whose inhabitants would consume the surpln sace of other product? which we could raise.-j\inety*Six Guardian. NEGROES IX CONGRESS. It is said that in the Forty-sixth Con gress there will be but one negro-Sena tor Bruce, of Mississippi, unless our O'Hara should gain the seat from the Sec ond District. In Washington it is freely preoicted that Bruce will bc the last of bis race who will ever get to Congress. The Radicals of the North who control matters in some Statesand cities will not elect tho "colored man and brother," and in the South it looks as if be did not stand much chance of political promo tion. In 1870, there were nine blacks in Congress; in 1872, seven; chango with a bale of cotton to be in 1874, four; in 1S7C, three; and in 1879 the prospect is tl at there will be but one. After that the place that knows him no more forever. In the next House there will bo one hundred and fifteen new members out of two hundred and ninety-three. Of these some have served in former pears. FIVE DOLLARS A DAV FOR THIRTY DAYS. The House of Representatives has made a good compromise by passing a bill al lowing members five dollars a day for not more than thirty days. The reaction from the exorbitant rates of previous sessions led many to demand that the pay shouh be fixed at three dollars a day ; but sev eral members showed that this reduction would practically prevent poor men fruin serving in the Legislature, as incid?ntal expenses are no inconsiderable matter, and three dollars will not cover them. It is much better to give a good per diem and to limit the length of sessions. The la borer is worthy of his hire, but he must n>t be too long finishing his job. L'r.d r the proposed bill, the pay of the members will be only ? bout twenty five thousand dollars, against several hundred thousand in the palmy days of Radicalism. Ami besides the consideration of exr-ise, a short session will be of service in prevent ing useless legislation. Only measures of general interest will receive attcntbn. Again, many of our best citizens arc will ingtospenda month in Columbia, but they will refuse to serve if required to absent themselves from business all winter and onri n cr A PICTURE GALLERY OF PLOWS -THE BEST IN THE WORLD. Have our farmers and planters noticed the beautiful card of Hart&Co, of Char leston, in another column? This card? with its eighteen cuts of famous PluWSj makes a very pretty picture. The pretty picture, however, is the least part of the matter. The Plow is thc thing. Well, among the eighteen, certainly every one may be pleased. The Plows are made by Avery it Sons, of Atlanta, and sold by Hart & Co., of Charleston. A NEW PAPER IN C'OLIJJB BIA THE WEEKLY HERALD. A new paper, in eight-page form, has been started in Columbia. It is called ihe Columbia Herald, and issued every Saturday. The editors and proprietors arc Messrs, Daley it Haye?. Price of sub scription, one year, $2 00; six months $1.00.

[KOK Till-: A11VEUTISKB.] S TKO NO SUGGESTIONS TO OUR M EMBERS OF THE GENE RA L .ASSE URLY. Editors Edgrfield Advertiser: While the members ol' the Le^islaluiv are wrangling over Ihe "State's Indebt edness," could you not suggest to our immediate Representatives the propri ety, the justice atiil tin; honesty of doing something toward paying thc honest and bona fide debts duo by Kdgel'u-ld County to its long suffering and impoverished creditors-somo ol' whom will have to witness tin' sab- of their lands fir taxes, in consequence of trusting ihe financial integrity ?f tho County ? We have al ready had two iuvestigatious by gentle men whose ability and honor are beyond question. Now, if there are any op posed to the payment of the amount re ported under tho last investigation, let us have the reason for it; if none be jjivon, we can assume that those opposed to its payment are '"repudiators," and wish their neighbors to bo defrauded ot' their honest debts. No one wishes the fraudulent debt to bo paid. I do not be lieve tho people desire thc County either to repudiate or evado its indisputable and well established indebtcdess; but, ii" this be so, how are we to act ?LS to debu due from ouuciiis'tnto another? A hove all, what kind of morality is thus to be inculcated ? And there is another matter, Messrs. Editors, that I wish bi call the attention of our Representatives to-of far greater importance, and more lasting in its re sults than any before the Legislature It is what is commonly called lhe"Stock"' or improperly. "No Fence Law"-a law, Hit- simple i-1 Vex-1/ wi' ?ri.;..i,, im ?... uudtii each individual fence bis pasture lands enclose his st(.ck--kcep them from inva ding and trespassing upon his neighbor's laud and crops. It is altogether Kttjiet flnous to go over the threadbare arguments in favor of, or to stale objections to tho law here. 1 simply add ono reason for the passage of ??ucl) a law, not b.-rcioiorc given by its advocates. It is this: Very many td" our "public highways," or "public roads," arc twice as old as our oldest inhabitants, built when the people were but thinly set tled, with but few towns and villages as objet live places, and with but little refer ence to avoidance of hills, bogs, or cross ing ofs!rcams\ Our condition is emir ly altered. Villages have sprung up over the entire country, and our old roads, alter wearing out our wagons and carriages, have become worn out themselves. At present we need more public road-?, shorter and better ones- thereby saving monc3T and tim?. Those wo will g t by the passage of the "Stock Law," with but little inconvenience oi injury to any one, and with 'he greatest benefit, not only to tho majority, but almost to the whole people. This question is solved by the conflict of our old and new sys tems; it is irrepressible, inevitable, and the advocates ol' the change must win soon or late. The progress, agriculturlly, and the improvdd financial condition of the people of those coun'ies that shall adopt this "Stock Law," I am confident, will iinall}' force us, through pride, if not through interest, to abandon the "fences of our fathers,'' give up our old system, and adopt thc new. And we further more believe that, if not equal to it will bc nlmost equivalent in its beneficial re sults in building up tho County, to an entire exemption from our annual taxes for many years to come I have yet to hear of a single land owner who wishes ar intends to deprive his tcnanls.of pas turage ol' their stock; it is t niphatically a poor man's law, without injury to any. H. W. ADDISON." OUR COLUMBIA CORRESPON DENCE. COLUMB?A, Dec. l?th, 1S7S. MESSRS Entrons: Everything is pi egressing as well herc is could be expected, and tho members )f tho General Assembly are working lard to close the session on the ?3rd If his is done, there will bo a great volume il business that must go over. No more lew bills will bc all wed from now on, ixcept by unanimous consent; and half if those already introduced will have to ie postpon d for want of time. Tho Phosphate bill has received three cadings in tho House, and it is a capital all, exceptoneor two extraneousaniond neuts, of which I disapprove. This 'hosphato bill as it passed tho House, viii yield the State twice as mueh roy ? ;lty as the present arrangement The divorce law has been knocked into toms A bill has passed the House which viii enable those who hav ? lorTeitod heir lands to redeem them on vory lib ral terms. A bill to provent thc traftic u seed cotton has been indefinitely post ioned. The joint resolution creating tho Bond Courtis upon trial, and has been discuss d pro and con with great ability. A li ai vote as regards abolishing this Court rill be bad on Monday, tho 10th, and my npression is that the House will vote jr the repeal. If s > tho Senate will ancur. The supply bill will bo rep u ted to iori ow morning, with two appropria, on bills-a majority and minority. The onunittco is about equally divided in ?peet to the interest upon the bonded ebt; b ab parties are willing to pay >me portion, one about ?200,000, ?he : ther twice that much. Our County indebtedness for tho pas has given us much trouble, and is still doing so, inasmuch as there were two reports-majority and minority-from the Committee appointed to look into the matter. On account of a clerical error in the minority report and a defect in the Act of the last General Assembly, ? considerable portion of the funds due creditors is locked up in the hands of the County Commissioners. The dele gation mot and agroed to provide for the minority report, a majority of them, and introduced a bill to cover the minority report. And yesterday afternoon, at the suggestion of Gov. Bonham, I presented the said bill. The bill which had been referred to the Committee of Ways and Means was withdrawn from tho liles of the House. But I fear tho passage of any bill in reference to this vexed mat ter will be endangered by tho shortness of our time. The present indications aro that we will stick to the concurrent res olution to adjourn on tho 23rd instant. T. J. LONG MIKES STORK, S. C, Dec, 7th, 1878, A. F. M.

McLANE S CELEIJRATED LIVEE PILLS, FOR THE CCUK OF Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, DVsrersiA AND SK. :: HEADACHE. Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. PAIN in thc light side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pres sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side ; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extent's lo the top of thc shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appe tite and sickness; thc bowels in gen eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of mem ory, accompanied with a painful sen sation of having left undone some thing which ought lo have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, md he complains of a prickly sensa tion of the skin; his spirits are low; md although he is satisfied that exer :ise would be beneficial to him, yet lie can scarcely summon up fortitude ?nougli to try it. In fact, he distrusts ?very remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases dave occurred where few of them ex sted, yet examination of thc body, tfter death, has shown thc LIVER to lave been extensively deranged.
