C., May 30,1877. On second reading of the appropriation bill, last night, the Senate refused to provide for paymeut of interest, this year, on the consolidated bonded debt. The difference between the two houses on this subject will necessitate a committee of conference, aud on failure to adjust matters satisfactorily, the session of the Legislature will necessarily be prolonged several days. T- 1 1 ? - fmalno millfl In 11 w0u1u require a icvjr w ? meet the ordinary expenses of the government and pay the interest due to all the several classes of State creditors and floating debt As the State cannot possibly pay all this year, it is thought best not to attempt to discriminate in favor of the consolidated bond creditors, as provided in the appropriation bill. Resolutions will be adopted setting forth the utter inability of the State to provide for interest this year, and declaring it to be the unalterable purpose of the General Assembly, to provide for the creditors of the State as t best we can, so soon as the commission, to be appointed to enquire into the validity of the debt, reports to the next session. The House, last night, by a vote of 66 to 29, adopted the majority report of the committee of privileges and elections, excluding the entire Charleston delegation, on account of fraud and intimidation at the last election. The House has adopted the concurrent resolution to elect a Judge, on to-morrow, to 611 the vacancy in theflfth (Carpenter's) judicial circuit. Should the election be ordered, the names of Meetze, Kershaw and You mans are moniinnnh as nrnhable candidates. i. d. w. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM BLACK'S STATION. i Black's Station, S. C., May 24. Business, as usual, at this season of the year, is dull at this place. But close as the times are, some improvements are going on with us. The Baptist and Methodist denominations have each a house of worship in process of erection and uearly completed. The Baptist church is 60 by 40 feet?a plain but very neat and substantial building. The Methodist church is 50 by 32 feet?artistic in design, well constructed, and in point of beauty and convenience will compare favorably with any church edifice of modern style. The small grain crops in this section are looking very fine. As yet there is no ap pearance of auy blight; although the farmers say the crop has not yet reached the most critical stage of susceptibility to injury. Corn and cotton are looking well. Both crops are clear of grass and weeds, showing clearly that the planters have not been idle. If there is anything to be regretted in regard to the cotton crop, it is that too much has been planted, in comparison with the amount of cereals, while the cotton crop has been highly manured with expensive commercial fertilizers. Should the price of the staple be Inw next fall, which is probable, in view of the European war, with a short supply of breadstuff* in the cotton States, the result may prove quite disastrous to our people. A fracas occurred near this place, on last Saturday night, between Robert Stewart, colored, and Van Ransalear Wilson, white. The latter wounded the former in the leg with a gpatf- shot gun, inflicting a severe but not serious wound. Trial Justice Wm. C. Black issued a warrant for the arrest of Wilson, and after an examination of the case bound him over in a bond of $1,000 for his appearance at the next term of the Circuit Court. Mr. James C. Gaffuey, a young man of promise, was run over and killed on the trestle of the Broad river bridge, on the York county side, about 12 o'clock on Tuesday night last. Mr. Gaffney lived in Spartanburg county, and after eating his supper, left his house, remarking that he would go over into York county. The supposition is that while crossing the trestle the train approached, rendering escape, by moving in either direction, impossible. When struck by the locomotive, he was within about 30 feet of the end of the trestle. He fell below the trestle, fearfully mangled, and was discovered by the bridge watchman soon after the occurrence. Mr. Roseborough, the watchman, on making hig_ usual inspection after the train crossed the bridge, discovered a coat lying on the track, which led to investigation, when he found fragments of bone, and heard groans beneath the trestle. He then called Mrs. Roseborough, who went down to the dying man, remaining with him, administering to alleviate his sufferingstfntil her husband could call to gether some of the neighbors. Trial Justice Black, acting as coroner, held an inuuest over the dead body, the verdict of which was that "the deceased came to his death by injuries inflicted by the passenger train, passing over his body at or about 11.40 P. M. on the 22nd of May on the trestle at the railroad bridge of the Atlanta and Charlotte Railroad, near the east hank of Broad river in York county, and that the said Jas. C. Gaffney came to his death by misfortune." It is but proper to remark that the deceased was not intoxicated, as many not acquainted with the facts might infer, at the time of the unfortunate accident. As a singular circumstance in connection with the lamentable occurrence, it may be mentioned that on the following day, while on the way to the church-yard to inter the remains, a train came near running over the vehicle containing the corpse, and was only prevented by the exertions of Mr. M. F. Ross. Eoo. CATTTU n I DAT iVl I Pfilfil. ATITBR i n El gvuia vaiwumn uuvkuuu. v??i Monday, May 21, 1877. The Senate was not in session. Tbe House met at 11 o'clock, a. no. A joint resolution to raise a commission to investigate the indebtedness of the State, being unfinished business, was taken up. A long and boated debate eusued, which resulted in the resolution passing a second reading. The tax bill passed a third reading. Tbe following passed a second reading : A bill to repeal the charter of Chestnut Grove ; to reduce and fix the per diem, <fcc., of members of the General Assembly, (with an amendment by the House that no member shall receive salary for more than sixty days at any one session ;) to amend an act concerning hawkers and peddlers; to prescribe the mode of proving Bank of the State bills tendered for taxes ; to reorganize the militia ; to establish State board of health, and Seuate bill to fix the salaries of certain officers. At the night session, the following were read a third time : Bill to reduce the pay of county commissioners and their clerks; to provide for filling vacancies in county offices. The following passed a second readiug : Bill to prohibit the same person being scheol trustee and teacher; to repeal the act establishing State scholarships, to require all school r claims to be sworn to. The bill to exempt certain articles of personal property from sale under execution wa3 indefinitely postponed. ? Tuesday, May 22. In the Senate, the following were introduced : Joint resolution directing the attor I ney-general to procure the names of the coun- j ! ty treasurers holding office ou and after the j j 14th of December, 1876, uuder the so-called i j Chamberlain government, and to ascertaiu j ! what amounts each of them collected and re- ' ! ceived by virtue of their office, and what dis- j position was made of the same, and that he report to the next General Assembly. The following passed a third reading: Bill to prohibit the unauthorized absence of officers ; bill to reduce the price of dieting priso- j ners ; bill to punish fraud in the sale of pro- j duce ; joint resolution to pay the balance of ; Chief Justice Moses' salary to his widow. In the House, the special order for noon being the joint resolution to ratify the constitutional amendment to levy a tax of two mills for school purposes was taken up, and after some debate the further consideration of the matter was postponed to the next session by a vote of 58 to 33. The debate, which was participated in by Messrs. Petty, Simpson, Sheppard, Hamilton and Wells, showed the House to be divided in three different respects upon the question. The Republicans were, of course, all in favor of the passage of the resolution. The Democrats were also mostly in favor of it; but a good many were opposed to its passage at this session because of the fact that the House had already incorporated in the appropriation bill an amount equal to the amount which would be raised by the levy of the two mill tax, say 8200,000, and as the appropriation bill has passed out of the hands of the House, the House, of course, cannot alter or amend it, and now to pass tne constitutional amendment would virtually be addiug $200,000 more to the amount of the tax levy. To alter and amend the appropriation and supply bills at this late day of the session to make them conform to the proposed constitutional amendment, would necessitate the adding of four or five days to this already too long session. Besides these reasons there is a faction who are absolutely opposed to the passage of the resolution at all from a religious standpoint, taking the ground that under its provisions the Bible, will in course of time, be excluded from the schools eutirely. Th^ other side favor the passage of the resolution on the grounds that the people pledged themselves at the polls at the last election, holding that it will give permanency to the schools, and will, in the present depressed condition of finances, give $270,000, which will, with economy, carry on the schools for three months. This side, during the debate, advanced the following statistics : Last year 52,283 white and 70,802 black children attended schools. The State appropriation was $202,000. The poll tax realized $62,000, and the local tax was $146,000, making the total fund for 1876 $410,000, or $3.30 for each child at school. For this year the State appropriation is $200,000, inclusive of the poll tax? giviug for each child $1.62. This amount, it was urged, would, with the strictest economy, run the schools only about two months. The several divisions of sentiment upon the matter rendered it impossible to secure the requisite two-thirds vote, and consequently many of the friends of the measure voted for continuauce, in order to save it from being killed at once. Wednesday, May 23. In the Senate, a communication was received from the State treasurer showing the balance in the treasury at the present time to be $59,282.87. The treasurer further states that he finds no evidence of any funds received in the State treasury from any of the late Chamberlain county treasurers. A message from the Governor was received announcing that he had approved of the following acts: To reduce the pay of commissioners and managers of elections; to repeal the act to protect the interest of the State on guaranteed railroad bonds ; to repeal the act for the relief of the widows and orphans of persons killed for their political opinions. The Senate adjourned until Friday at 12 M. In the House, the bill to reduce and fix the price for dieting prisoners to thirty cents per day was taken up and amended so as to give the county commissioners and sheriffs power to hire out convicts in jail to work on the streets, &c. The Republicans consumed about an hour in debating motions in opposi tion to the bill. The bill was read a third time, then reconsidered and recommitted to the committee. The House adjourned until Friday, at 11 A, M. Friday, May 25. In tiie Senate, the bill to provide for the interchange of circuits of the circuit judges was returned from the House with some important amendments, which were concurred in, and the title of the bill then changed to ?? T k? Will W n f uttf ktn oi vtir au auu l uc i/in piu* iuco uiab uiuuu oiai j days after the passage of the act, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, or presiding Associate Justice, shall cause to be made a roster of the circuit judges of this State, and shall assign each of said judges to hold the fall terms of the courts of one of the circuits for 1877, commencing with the First Circuit, and the judge of the First Circuit shall continue to be assigned to the other circuits in regular order as the circuits stand in their numerical series, and the other circuit judges shall be assigned to hold the courts in other circuits as the Chief Justice may select them, so that the circuit judges shall regularly ro tate iu holding the terras of the courts in all the circuits of the State. There is also a provision iu the bill that where a circuit judge shall, by death or otherwise, be prevented from holding a terra of court in any circuit, the Chief Justice shall appoint a member of the bar of this State, of unquestioned standing, integrity and eminence in his profession, who shall hold the terms of the courts of the said circuit, and shall be obeyed and respected during his term of ser vice as a circuit judge, aud shall be paid, according to the actual time employed, at the same rate as provided by law for the services of circuit judges. Mr. Boweu, chairman of the WoodruffWhittemore committee, presented a report from ^hafc committee, which stated that Mr. J. M. McCay had admitted to the committee the possession of a certain book containing information of great value to the committee, that he had been summoned by the committee and ordered to give the book up, that he had gone to Abbeville to get the book, aud instead of turning it over to the committee, had, in contempt of the committee's authority, placed it in the hands of another party. The committee, therefore, asked that Mr. McCay be dealt with as the Senate saw fit. Mr. Witherspoon, another member of the committee, then submitted the following resolution, which was adopted: lie-solved, That the sergeant -at-arms of the SenI ate. without delay, do arrest Mr. McCay and I brin# liim before the bar of the Senate to show j cause, if any, why he should not be attached for ] contempt of this body. This resolution was Dut into effect immedi ately, and thesergeant-at-arras retired to hunt up his prisoner. The sergeant-at-arms soon returned with Mr. McCay in custody, and foli lowed by Mr. Maxwell, Mr. McCay's counsel. | Mr. McCay was brought before the bar of the I ! Senate, and the president read the resolution j under which he had been arrested, and asked i what defence he had to make. Cochran stated i that as it was the object of the committee to get possession of the book more than to pun- I ish Mr. McCay, he wanted to know if it would be in order for the party now holding the book to turn it over to the committee, and ! ! put an end to the matter. The Chair ruled that this course would not be in order at the ! present stage of affairs. Witherspoou said i that Mr, McCay's offense was that after beiug ; officially uolified by the committee that they wanted that book, and after he had ackuowl- ! edged the service of the summons, he trans- j ferred the book to a third party, and thus de-! prived the committee of the book. Mr. Mc- ! i Cay then asked the privilege of being heard through his counsel, Mr. Maxwell, which privilege was accorded him. It was soon developed that the book was in j I the possession of Mr. Maxwell, McCay's at-1 torney. Maxwell, without much delay, delivered the book to the committee, whereupon proceedings against McCay were suspended. In the House, the committee on privileges and elections reported the case of Prince Martin, the colored member from Fairfield, who has labored heretofore under the double disqualification of having entertained a divided allegiance between the Wallace and Mackey Houses, and also between two ladies of his own color, each of whom claimed to be his wife. The committee reported in substance that the original protest against Martin has been withdrawn, and a protest on the ground of bigamy preferred, over which the committee holds it ha? no jurisdiction. Hamilton moved that Martin be allowed to purge himself of his contempt and be sworn in,which was adopted after some debate. Martin appeared at the bar of the House, purged himself of contempt, was sworn in and seated. The "fence" bill was taken up and another long discussion followed. The colored members, Humbert, Reed, Keith and Miller, all spoke against the measure as being oppressive to the poor farmers of both races. Lawyer Hemphill, of Chester, went into statistics t<> show that to fence a forty-acre lot costs two dollars per acre, a ten-acre lot four dollars per acre and a one-acre lot ten dollars. He exhibited a written agreement, signed by one hundred and sixty farmers of York county, who had successfully practiced the proposed plan in their own neighborhood and found it to work to advantage. The farms of the entire county of Mecklenburg, N. C., had also adopted this plan, and found it most economical and satisfactory. Humbert, of Laurens, supported the measure, and said that it is a poor title to land which compels a man to allow every other man's stock to graze on it or necessitates large expenditure of time and money to fence them out. The people of this State are driven to buy supplies from the West simply for the want of such a fence law. According to the last assessment there are in round numbers 103,000 acres of land under cultivation in Laurens. The original cost of fencing this was 8315,000, while the stock in the county was only valued at 8115,000, from which it appears that three dollars of fencing is required to keep out one dollar's worth of stock. Before a man can safely invest capital in cultivating any unenclosed land in this State he must, under the present ruinous system, invest 28 per cent, of it in fencing. Bradley said that there is no good reason why the low country should oppose this law. It is a necessity in the up country which asks not that the low country shall accept it, but that those who desire it shall be allowed to adopt it. Youmans said that the passage of the bill does not decide the question, it merely submits it to the people to decide for themselves. Sheppard called for a vote ou the motion to strike out the enacting clause which was the ground of the discussion. The motion was lost. It was then moved to continue the bill to the next session, which was also lost. The House then took a recess until 8 o'clock. The House resumed the consideration of the fence law at 8 p. m., hut after two hours' dehate and a host of amendments, the House adjourned, without reaching a conclusion, until to-morrow at 11 A. M. Saturday, May 26. In the Senate, on motion of Mr. Corwin, Mr. Meetze was relieved from his agreement to "pair" with Whittemore, it having been definitely ascertained that the latter would not return. A resolution that the Senate do hold two sessions daily until adjournment sine die, the first to begin at 11 A. M., the other at 8 P. M., was adopted. In the House, on motion of Mr. Vandi ver, Peter Papiu wa9 released from further confinement. The House concurred in the Senate amendment to resolution authorizing the Governor to appoint a Trial Justice resident in the town of Blackstock. The unfinished business of last night was resumed, being a bill to authorize the County Commissioners to submit to the voters of the various counties a proposition to alter the fence law. A proposition to except the county of Richland was rejected. Horry, Marion, Colleton, Beaufort, Charleston, Williamsburg and Georgetown were excepted, and the bill was passed to a third reading. Mr. Orr, from the Committee on Ways and Means and the Judiciary Committee, reported on the Charleston case, and recommended that Mackey, Brodie, et. al., be not seated, because there existed in that county so much violence, intimidation and fear that no fair election was held. Mr. Miller^from the same committee, submitted a minority report, recommending that fhp rlolon-ufinn hp aputpH nn nnrorint* thorn .. " I & "?> selves of the contempt.

BETTE R YOUR CONDITIONT AS the prospect for a good wheat crop is excellent, better your condition by sowing some of your best lands in Millet Grass Seed. Corn, to-day, is worth from 90 cents to $1.00 per bushel, and some are paying $1.25. Now, gentlemen, for your good we advertise and advocate this thingMillet Hay. A man knowing a thing as we know the value of these grasses?Millet and Hungarian?cannot help but speak highly of them. It is not the profit we derive from the sale of the seed that induces us to advocate these grasses. It is for your benefit as a forage for your horses, mules and cattle. We sometimes think if these grasses were a very prolific kind of cotton, and would make as much in proportion, to the acre as these grasses do, what a big sale and demand there would be for it. Why not risk $2 and get back from $-10 to $50? You can do it with the right kind of preparation and a good season. Do vou get it in any kind of a cotton crop you make? No. These grasses are as certain to revolutionize the country as a horse, mule and cattle feed, as farmers are to plant cotton. W. H. & J. P. HERNDON. HOES. A LOT of good Hoes for sale by A W.
