Jas. T. Bacon. Thos. J. Adams. EDITORS. Edgefleld, 8. c., ?>ec. 25. 1884. Congress adjourDed on Saturday last, until the 5th of January. The Senate, on Monday, receded from its opposition to the appropria-1 tion of $14,000 for the State militia. ! The appropriation waa therefore re .tored to the bill, and the militia will get the money! _ lt Will fit Wet. On Saturday next, by order of the Council, an election will be held in the city of Columbia on the question of license or no license, lt is not j ?ard to predict how this election will go. ^_ "Not" Visionary." President Eugene Verdery, of the Augusta an ?Knox vii le Railroad, says that the Augusta and Elberton Bail road and the road from Augusta to | Newberry via Edgefield are not vi nonary, but are bound to be built I within the next fi re years. The char ter for the latter road has been grant ed lately by our Legislature. There Seems to be Hope in It StiU. A meeting of the Carolina, Cum berland Gap and Chicago Railroad | Company is to be held in Aiken on ?be 20th of January. We are glad to make this announce ment, for the advantages to Edge field, and to South Carolina, of the proposed road are too vast for us to relinquish effort to further it until the last possibility is exhausted. The men and influences behind this road are good. Let us hope that the j money is now also near at hand. Address of Each One of South Carolina's Delegation in Congress?

Communica tions addressed as above will prompt ly reach the several Senators and Representatives, or the same end cac be accomplished by addressing to their respective Houses in Congress. Congressman Aiken's Bill. There is some prospect of an eighth Cabinet officer-Secretary of Agri culture. -The House has passed the bill, fathered and indefatigably push ed by Congressman Aiken, of South Carolina,- which has been so long j pending,, elevating the head of the j Agricultural Department into the po sition of a Cabinet officer, and giving I him the.title of Secretary of the Be^-jJ partment^^Agr^uh_^,^J^ retary. It is believed by friends of j the measure that it stands a fair! chance of being approved by tie; Senate. Deatb of Mr, Charles Spaeth, of * Augusta, We copy the following from the Chronicle and Constitutionalist of Saturday last ; and we can also bear testimony to the nobility, benevolence and geniality of Charles Spaeth. We knew him well, and have never known a better man : Last hight, after several weeks of serious illness, Mr. Charles Spaeth breathed his last. He was fifty-six years old, and had been a resident of Augusta for more than thirty years, during which time he was a prominent representative of the Ger man element of our population, and a worthy and highly respected citi zen. He was a lieutenant in the Washington Artillery and took conspicuous part at Pensacola and Shiloh, receiving a painful wound in the latter battle. He was the first President of the German Schuetzen club, and was one of the most popu lar Germans in Augusta. He had a remarkably fine baas voice, and was a member of St. Patrick's Church choir for many years past. An exemplary man in all the walks of life ; he was just in his dealings - with his fellow-men. He did many acts of charity in a quiet, unostenta tious manner, and was a public spirit ed citizen. By. thrift and industry in business he had attained to easy circumstances, and was a man of marked 'influence. Aspiring to no office himself, he took an interest in all public affairs, and was a strong friend and advocate of measures which he approved, and was staunch and powerful in the support of his friends. He was a man of great be nevolence and subscribed liberally to all schemes looking to the- public weal. .-^Generous, honest and true ; he was a noble, big hearted gentle man,, and hundreds of friends mourn his death to-day-a man-whose like Augusta.'will not soon see again. The Columbia correspondent of the Qmtsituiion, in speaking of the dis missal of Dr. Woodrow from the Theo logical Seminary, and the uncondi tional resignations of Dr. Bogga and Prof. Hemphill, says : " The action of the Board haa produced a decided sensation in church and social circles here, and it is believed that the death knell of the venerable institution has been eonnded and its destruction sear at hand. The decision of the board-is deprecated. Dr. Bogg's and Prof. Hemph ill's course is commended, and Dr. Mack, who instituted the crusade against Woodrow., is highly rebuked. In this city Dr. Woodrow is ardently upheld by an overwhelm ing majority of Presbyterians. Prof. Hemphill goes to Louisville to accept a professorship in the Theological Seminary there, and Dr. Bogga is not determined as to bis future course. There are 50,017 postoffices in the country and nearly 100 Democratic voters for every postoffice. The mao who thinks he would like to be Presi dent would do well to interview Mr. Cleveland at almost any time after the 4th of next March. a ?8 ci? ep> vii 10 Be ter 14 Ec bi 14 cae Hi bei ll ter Wi ed Gei mil lo?

Since oar last issue, the following bill, introduced by Col. Folk in the early part cf the sealion, has been passed and beopme a law : That the County Commission sr s of Edgeield be allowed to borrow a aaa of money, estimated by them aa aufficieat to meet all contracts made by tbe County during the' next fiscal year. Th? act empowers them to pledge th? incom ing taxes as a security for this loan If our Commissioners caa borrow the money, thia certainly looks like a I move ia the right direction, and as if j the said Commissioners had the laud able desire to run],the business affairs of the County on business principles. If enr present Commissioners should be the pioneers'in the great and good wo?k of paying the indebtedness of I the County cent for cent and dollar for dollar, they weald make their j names deservedly famous. A Measure Which WU1 Beget a Rash | for Good Place?* The bill int rod need by the jodi? clary committee to provide for the taking of the census calls for a tak ing of Ute census en or before June 1,1886. The governor is authorized to appoint a superintendent at a sala ry of $8,000 per annum, and travel ling expenses. The superintendent is to appoint three clerks, at salaries of $1,000 per annum each, and number ef elerks, copyists and com puten, at salaries not less than $700, nor more than $1,000 per annum. The bill appropriates $60,000 for the payment of ths expenses of the cen sas, and $7,000 additional for pre liminary printing, office rent, postage and other necessary expenses. Tne governor is also authorized to make a requisition on the United States treas urer for 50 per cent, of the amount expended. Grad nal Completion or the State Hon sc. A bill baa been passed having for its object the gradual completion of j the State House. The amount of $75,. 000 is appropriated for the work du ring the year 1885, to be need m the completion of the main building. The Governor, the Comptroller-general and the Secretary of State are ap pointed a commission for the purpose of letting eat the work and seeing that it is completed, and the Super intendent of the Penitentiary is di rected to furnish each labor and ma terial aa the commission may deem necessary. Thia plan will, if pur sued, take about ten years to com plete the State House, the estimate of the architect being for the entire work about $750,000. Postponement of the Divorce Bill. The bill to grant divorces for adul tery and to regulate the granting of i the same ia upon the House Calendar | without recommendation, the judicia ry committee having failed to aeree upon a report The matter will be postponed until next session. The Court of Common Pleas is to have jurisdiction insueh suits, with the power, after granting divorce, to make the necessary deeree concerning the estate and maintenance of the parties and of awarding alimony.-. The clos ing section of the bill provides that | when a divorce is granted according to the terms of the Act, the party iity of adultery shall ?dlcr Fa wu re of the Seed Cotton license. The somewhat Bte /tiing bill of Sen- r itor Howell, of Oolleton, to license & rarchasera of seed cotton, was reject- 1 id by 28 yeas to 7 nays. Senator lowell argued strongly for his bill. 8 lenator Youmaae, of Barnwell, op? osed it aa smacking of Russian ab olutism and creating monopolies, lenator Talbert voted for the bill. -5 "be Lien Law Repealed by the House, tl In our last issue we announced that t1 he Senate had killed the bill repeal- w ig the Lien Law. Subsequently, how- ' per, the House has passed the bill j ad repealed the law-except as to tl mdlords' liens for rent. If the Sea le now coincides with the action of . ie House, laborers will have to look > planters aloa? for their supplies to ;xt year. About the only effect ill be te take the poor man out of ?( ie merchant's power and hand him m rer to the landholder, thus dividing bi e profita of tbe lien business more co nerally. We cannot see any spe ^ al good or special harm to result. rgeQeld'8 Tax to be Tea and a Half ?illa. itt The Supply Bill, as it passed the Jc Duse, provides for the levy of an gregate tax for Stat?, County, spe- gI( d and school purposes in the re- ^ ec ti ve Coqn ties as follows : Abbe- ^r Ie 12 mills ; Anderson 10} ; Aiken ?aj }; Barnwell 1H; Beaufort 11}; or rkeley 18}; Charleston 10?; Ches- eui .13$; Chesterfied 16 ; Clarendon ?ol }; Oolleton 12$; Darlington 10*; Pa!

Blow at tke life of the Militia. tre The Senate Committee recommend- lest striking out that section of the laai aeral Appropriation Bill giving JJ L.000 for the support of the State ^e i ti a, and the * discussion which fol- 0ut ed waa animated and entertaining, say ?eau!ted, we are very sorry to say, the :he upholding of the Committee's emendation, and the destruction, be] haps, of the militia of the State, to f ator Talbert spoke warmly in sup stoc t of the militia. He said the times has changed since the war. Then befc .. , . natl ng men were compelled to per- eraj 1 militia duty ; now they do it mai lout compulsion. He said that villi ie military compauiea were com- y id of the very flower of the youth be State, and they should be sup ed by the State. State University and the Colo in - 1 Canal Upheld by the Assembly, he General Assembly bas appro ted $88,000 to the support of the s University, including the Cita leadenly and theClafiin College; $15,000 and the work of 200 icts to the Columbia Canal. All lese appropriations were fought, equi this over ro*d num the 1 all 0 fami C 'Ut ville Tt merv folio toora and nail, by a strong minority. As regards tbe State University, it ppponentp, among wbom wap Senator Talbert, were defeated in tbe mo t brilliant and signal manner. And we are delighted beyond measure that they were. Senator Talbert also fought the Canal appropriation with all his might. Judge of the Fifth Circuit.--Superin tendent of the Penitentiary. On Saturday, the 20th, the General ABaerrbly re-elected Hon. J. D. Island ing a Trustee of the South Carolina University. Mr. Li lauding had re signed on account of being a Presi dential Elec or. Hon J. B. Kershaw waa re elected Judge of the Fifth Circuit. Col. T J. Lipscomb was re elected Superintendent of the Penitentiary, and Norton W. Brooker, E*q., ol Edgefield, was elected one of the Di rectors. Miscellaneous. In the Senate the Aiken County Prohibition Bill wasindefinitely post poned, by a vote of 18 to 17. The House Bill to prohibit the manufacture or dis-illation of intoxi cating liquors in Pickens county W?P rejected in tue Senate by a vote ol 17 to 14. The joint resolution to repeal the constitutional two mill educational tax was continued to the next session The bill to license dogs was rejected by a vote of 28 to 3. - Senator Youmans' joint resolution providing for a Constitutional Con vention was, on his own motion, con tinued until the next session. There was a short debate on the bill to declare and protect the iden tity of married women. Senator Smythe defended it and Senators Earle and Mauldin thought it unnec essary and unsuited to our policy. It was killed-yeas 23, nays ll. The Senate has by a vote of 19 to 10 passed the bill repealing the Pro hibition Act ior Oconee County. There ie, however, very little doubt that the House will deleat the bill. The first amendment to the Appro priation Bill offered waB to increase the appropriation for artificial limb* for soldiers of the State from $3,000 to $7,000. This was agreed to. A motion to strike ?ou. the appro priation ot $2,500 for the State Ag ricultoral Society was lost by a large majority. Section nine of the bill appropriates $391.337 tor the payment ol the in terest on the public debt. It was passed without amendment which completed the bill. The committee OQ the judiciary re commended that a bill in relation to substituting county courts for the present trial justice system be laid over until the next session.

ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK -A Gran iville correspondent ol the Aiken wrnaland Review says: "Times . some while back have been very )omy, but now there is a change, e are getting along finely. The aniteville Manufacturing Company > been very busy for the last two three weeks shipping goods. I opose over 3.000 bales have been d in the last two weeks.

I aw we will get the same old wages maybe a little more."
