J "Jt&* "We are indebted to Dr. John Wilson, of the HouBe of Representatives, for important Legislative documents. '. .W^*'We invite attention from merchants and others to the semi-annual announcement of Messrs. Armstrong, Cator & Co., of Baltimore, which appears in?another column. Reliability, fair dealing and low prices, with an extensive assortment of goods in their line, render this house- a favorite iu this section. Give them a 'trial. " o.i: i ^. _. ?ST The. MarlboroUgh Times is the title of a new paper at Bennettsville, S. C, in lieu of; the Bennettsville Journal, recently defunct. The editor, Mr. J. Wesley Smith, announces his determination to avoid extremes in politics and to labor for the interest of the whole peo? ple. We have placed the Times upon our ex? change list. We have been requested by A. O. Nor? rie, Esq., Probate Judge for Anderson County, to state that his notice to administrators, exec? utors, guardians, &c, has been published, and that he means what is said in the advertisement. Returns must be made within the time pre? scribed, or rules against defaulters will be is? sued, at their costs and charges. So, take heed and govern yourselves accordingly. -i-* We are informed that the "Pure Gyp? sum," advertised for some weeks past by Mr. John H. Holmes, of Charleston, is found to contain ninety-nine and two-thirds per cent, of \ soluble matter, instead of eighty per cent., as heretofore stated. This is important informa? tion to farmers who intend using the Gypsum, as it leaves only one-third of one per cent in? soluble matter, and thus demonstrates its claim as a pure article. The Usury Bill. On Friday last, tbe Senate effectually squelch? ed the bill to re-establish the Usury laws in this State. The enacting clause of the bill was ?tricken out by a decisive vote, only two Sena? tors voting against the motion to strike out. We are pleased to record this action of the Senate. Religions Notice. We are requested to state that Rev. R. P. Franks, Presiding Elder of the Greenviile Dis? trict, will preach in the Methodist Church this (Thursday) evening, at 7$ o'clock. Also, that Eev. R. Harper, of Wi?iamiton, is expected to ?preach on Friday evenirg. These services are preliminary to the regular quarterly meeting, which begins on Saturday next. In the Field. Tho Cuthbert (Ga.) Appeal places in nomi? nation the names of Messrs. Cobx and Bacon as the most suitable candidates for the offices , of Peace and Plenty, for the year 1871. It hopes they will be unanimously supported, es? pecially by our planting friends. As the nom? inations take place within the present month, the necessity of a choice devolves upon the farming community. It remains to be seen whether they will select an imperial govern? ment, under King Cotton, or a free and inde? pendent condition of affairs, under the lead of, .Corn and Bacon, the backbone and sinew of a , people's strength. -9-. The New Circuit Judge. The proceedings of the Legislature show that the vacant Judgeship of the Seventh Circuit has been supplied by the election of Col. Mont? gomery Moses, of Sumter, for ;he second time, and by an increased vote. The opposition brought Gen. McGowan into the field, and we are glad to know that he received a very com? plimentary vote. Mr. Moses is the brother, and was for many -years the law partner, of the Chief Justice, and is considered a lawyer of fine abilities. He is an affable, courteous gentleman, not much in public life heretofore, and will make a goodju - dicial officer. In politics, he differs from the Chief Justice, and has hitherto acted with the Democratic party. We trust that he will re? ceive the support of all law-abiding citizens, without regard to party affiliations, that he may be enabled to maintain order and tranquility throughout his jurisdiction. Death of an Aged and Honorable Citizen The Laurcnsville Herald brings us the pain? ful intelligence that Oswcll Richardson, Esq., ' on6 of the oldest and most respected citizens of that county, has been gathered to his iathers. Nearly ten. years ago, Mr. Richardson was par? alyzed upon one side, and has been an invalid cripple ever Bince. On Sunday night, 19th of February, he was stricken again with paralysis, and lived only a few hours. He was buried with Masonic honors on Tuesday the 21st ult. Mr. Richardson, previous to his affliction, was prominent in the public affairs of his county, and at one time filled the office of Sheriff to the entire satisfaction of his constituents. In? deed, he was one of the most popular and ac? commodating public officers we ever knew. He was kind of heart, upright in every relation of life, and sternly inflexible as a man of honesty and integrity. He was truly a Mason, and ex? emplified that broad charity which is the foun? dation stone of that ancient order. And withal, he was a devoted and exemplary Christian, and we trust has gone to join the innumerable throng "in that house not maxie with hands, eternal in the heavens." Tho Greenville Railroad Swindle. It will be seen that the House of Representa? tives has adopted the bill granting State aid to the Greenville and Columbia Railroad. As originally presented, the bill provided an en? dorsement of the Company's bonds to the ex? tent of $10,000 per mile for all the road now controlled or hereafter to be acquired by that corporation. This proposition has been modi? fied, so that the State endorses tho bonds for $2,000,000, without qualification. In this shape, the bill goes to the Senate, and we look to that body for an estoppel to be placed upon this wholesale plundering scheme. But should enough Senators be found sufficiently pliant to secure its passage, we are assured that Gov. Scott will veto this infamous measure, and ,it will then require two-thirds of both Houses to overcome the Governor's veto. The requisite number will doubtless be obtained in the House of Representatives, through bribery and shame? less corruption, but it is confidently expected that eleven Senators, at least, will interpose their power and prerogatives as representatives of the people to prevent the final consumma? tion of this wicked measure. It is a bold fraud upon the tax-payers to re? quire this heavy endorsement of the present corrupt managemcat of the Greenville and Co? lumbia Railroad. They acquired control of the I Road through chicanery, and now that it has failed to remunerate them, an attempt is made [ to secure an endorsement of their bonds for I two millions! It might be tolerated,, if there was any ultimate benefit accruing to the State, I but we conscientiously believe that the vilest purposes are contemplated by the "Ring" of speculators now owning that corporation; and instead of the money being used to place the I Road in first-class condition, it is our firm con? viction that the greater portion will find its way into the pockets of these miserable sharpers. But wherefore the justice of granting further State aid to a corporation in which the com? monwealth has no interest ? The stock owned by the State has been purchased long ago by these same enterprising individuals, and if it has been a dear purchase, let them sustain the loss, and not regain their money from the hard earnings of honest people. It is a villainous, thieving transaction, conceived in fraud, brought forth in iniquity, and pampered by the vilest corruption ever known among legislators, or men claiming to be such. ? The Bine Ridge Railroad. The following is the bill to repeal the Act authorizing the endorsement of. bonds for the Blue Ridge Railroad to the extent of $4,000, 000, passed in 1868. This bill originated in the Senate, and is a substitute for that presented by Mr. Whittemore. It received a second read? ing in the Senate on Saturday last, and unless the Legislature postpones adjournment, it can? not reach the House of Representatives in time to become a law this session. But we are not sanguine at this writing, (Tuesday night,) as to the adjournment of tho Legislature on the 1st of March, as agreed upon some weeks ago, and we would not be surprised to hear that the im? maculate law-givers had concluded to extend their labors for a few days. If this proves true, we have no doubt that the enemies of the Blue Ridge Railroad will Bueceed in withdrawing the endorsement from its bonds, and virtually make an end of this important enterprise, at least for the present. The bill sets forth as follows: Whereas the faith and funds of the State of South Carolina were, ?'. by the Act of Sep? tember 15,18C8, pledged to the payment of the bonds known as the Blue Ridge Railroad Com? pany's bonds of South Carolina, to the amount of 1^4,000,000; and whereas the faith and funds of the State were pledged upon express condi? tions which have not been complied with; and whereas it ha9 been found impossible to nego? tiate a sale or hypothecation of said loan, either to the United States Government or private capitalists; and whereas only ?1,100,000 of the said bonds have thus far been pledged as colla? teral security; therefore, Be it enacted, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, now met and sitting in General Assembly, and by the authority of the same: Section 1. That an Act entitled "An Act to authorize additional aid to the Blue Ridge Rail? road Company, in South Carolina," so far as the balance of the bonds authorized under that Act, viz: $2,900,000, which have not yet been Eledged as collateral security, are concerned, is ereby repealed, and the Comptroller-General of the State is hereby required to cause the im? mediate return and cancellation of the same. The Columbia Union learns that Hon. Wm. H. Trescot, Solicitor of the Blue Ridge Rail? road, has written a cogent letter to Senator Wilson, of Anderson, in defence of tho present management of that Road, and against the pas? sage of the bill to repeal the State endorsement of its bonds. .-?. A Disgusting Scene.?The Columbia cor? respondent of the Charleston Daily Republican lifts the veil upon one of the most disgusting scenes that has ever transpired in the presence of a legislative assembly. Our readers can imagine the disgraceful tricks and grotesque conduct of men calling themselves law-makers, who would permit a horde of scoundrels to desecrate the State capitol by such infamous practices. And it is this sort of thing that has pushed through the House of Representatives the swindling measure in aid of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, or rather for the bene? fit of the crew of speculators and sharpers now controlling that corporation : There was a scene in the Judiciary Commit? tee room this afternoon, which exceeded in barefaced impudence anything that has yet made its appearance in this or any other capi? tal in the Union. This room, which is located next door to the House of Representatives, was turned into a bar room, in the interest of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad. Bad whiskey, beer, porter and segars of the same stamp, were brought into this room by swinging lobbyists, and given out freo to the members of the House, many of whom drank freely until they became completely incapacitated to attend to the busi? ness which their constituents sent them hero to attend to. It was certainly a deplorable sight, and one that is calculated to degrade and great? ly lower' the Republican party in this State, if it should-be permitted to pass unrebuked. I assure your readers, however, that this in? fernal work wan sprung in such a manner that it was impossible for Speaker Moses, or the ma? jority of the members of the House of Repre? sentatives, to know what was going on outsido, as they were busily engaged on the appropria? tion bill; and it is well to state also that such a scene will never be permitted to occur again during this session at least. I would rather be silent, and bury the shame which a few bold, bad men, even in presence of strangers from other States visiting the capital to-day, have I brought upon us, but I cannot; I thereforo, in i the name of the great majority of the members I of the General Assembly, denounce this vile I and villainous transaction.

Mr. Swaijs presented the credentials of Mr. J. F. Beckman, Senator elect from Georgetown, and the member was sworn in ; as was also Mr. J. Hollinshead, Senator elect from Abbeville, and Mr. Samuel E. Gaillard, as member from Charleston. Mr. R. H. Cain sent in a protest against the admission of the the latter gentleman; which was referred to the committee on Privileges and Elections. The enacting clause of a bill to cancel and retire the hypothecated Blue Ridge Railroad bonds, was stricken out, and a bill to repeal an Act to authorize the granting of additional aid to the Blue Ridge Road, was passed to a third reading. The bill provides for an appropria? tion of $400,000, to redeem the bonds now un? der hypothecation. The House appropriation bill was referred to the Committee on Finance. The following passed: A bill to regulate the manner of drawing juries; bill to establish a new Judicial and Election County, from por? tions of Barnwell, Edgefield, Orangeburg and Lexington, to be known as Aiken County. At 3.25 p. m., the Senate resolved itself into executive session. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The House met at 12 M. Mr. Jervey introduced a resolution, that af? ter adjournment the Sergeant-nt-Arms shall, within twenty days, collect, take r.n inventory of, and store in some room in the State House, the furniture of the hail of the House and committee rooms, lock up the same and deliver the key to the Secretary of State, and that the Sergeant-at-Arms shall receive five dollars per day while engaged in such service. Mr. Ramsey introduced a resolution to post? pone the day of adjournment sine die to the 15th of March. Laid on the table. Mr. Jones introduced a resolution, that when the House adjourn, it stands adjourned to Tues? day, the 28th instant, in order to attend the ceremonies in erecting a monument over the grave of B. F. Randolph, on Monday, the 27th instant. Adopted. On motion of Mr. Whipper, the vote where? by the resolution was adopted was re-considered, and the resolution wa3 amended so as to read that the House should adjourn to 7 P. M., on Monday, and adopted. The Committee on Ways and Means reported favorably upon a joint resolution to appropriate $47,000 to the State Lunatic Asylum, which was ordered to lie over. The following passed: A bill relating to the Greenville and Columbia Railroad; bill to re? lease the lien of the State on a lot in Charles? ton, owned by the South Carolina Institute, for the promotion of art, &c. The vote on the passage of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad bill was, yeas 77; nays 23. Mr. Frost rose to a point of order, claiming that, under the Constitution, the clause of which he read?no bill authorizing extraordiry expenditures could be passed without a two thirds vote of both branches of the General Assembly?that eighty-three was two-thirds of the members of the House, and that accord? ingly the bill had not passed. The Speaker ruled the point not well taken, holding that two-thirds of the members meunt two-thirds of the members present. The Re? formers, with the exception of Mr. Sullivan, o( Greenville, voted nay; also, the following Re? publicans : Messrs. Moses, Andell, Boseman, Frost, Holmes, Small and Talbert The bill, as passed, gives the endorsement of the State to the bonds of the Company, to the amount of $2,000,000, with a privilege to the Company of converting their bonds into State bonds, dollar for dollar. The bill is not compulsory upon the company to build a foot of road, but sim? ply gives them the power to extend the road if they see fit. Mr. Kuh, who was absent when the vote was being taken, came in afterwards and desired to have his name recorded upon the journal as having voted no. A ioint resolution was passed which provides for the publication of the decisions of Lne Su? preme Court delived during the last three years, under the supervision of J. S. G. Richardson. A bill to charter tbe Northeastern Railroad Company was parsed to a third reading. The road is proposed to run from Aiiendaie, on the Port Jioyal Railroad, to Ninety Six, in Abbe? ville county. The discussion of the bill con? sumed the time of the House until 3.30 P. M, when it adjourned to meet on Monday next, at at 7 P. M. The following paper, signed by seven Repub? lican members, was presented to be entered on tho journal: We, the undersigned, vote "No" upon the bill "relating to the Greenville and Columbia railroad company," and herewith record our reasons for so doing. 1st. Because we believe that it is a wilful and deliberate attempt on the part of those in whose interest the bill was framed, to enrich them? selves at the expense of the State. 2d. Because tue State has already a lien upon the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Com? pany, equal in amount to the present value of the road, and for the additional $2,0f>n 000 sought to be obtained by the passage of this bill, the State will receive no security whatever. 3rd. Because the present owners of the road having possessed themselves of all the stock of the State owned in tho road at a nominal price, i and arc now enjoying all tho iunefita and ad? vantages accruing therefrom, therefore they are I not entitled to any aid or i>-aislance from the State. t . 4th. Because the effect of its passage will be to injure the credit of the State abroad, which J even now docs not rest upon the most secure and substantial basis, owing, we fear to the mis? management and cupidity of those to whom the affairs of State were entrusted. 5th. Because we believe it will inflict upon the Republican party of the State a decree of censure and reproach not easily borne; it in? creases taxation that has already reached a bur? densome and oppressive amount; it reflects se? verely upon thdse having the controlling pow? er in the General Assembly, and whose duty it was and is to prevent the passage of those iniquitous and atrocious measures. Finally, We most earnestly protest against the means used by the majority of the mem? bers of the House of Representatives to secure the passage of the bill. Under the "previous question, which was called upon the entire bill, no opportunity to discuss, amend or change any of the odious provisions which the bill so abundantly contained was given. Monday, February 27, 1871. SENATE. The Senate met agreeably to adjournment, .it 5 P. M. A quorum not being present, the Sen adjourned without transacting any business to 12 M., to-morrow.

THE PAIN KILLER Is by universal consent allowed to have won for itself a reputation unsurpassed in the history of medical prepara? tions. Its instantaneous effect in the eradication and ex? tinction of Pain in all its various forms incident to the human family, and the unsolicited written and verbal tes? timony of the masses in its favor, have been, and are its best advertisements. The ingredients of the Pain Killer, being purely Veg table, render it a perfectly safe and efficacious remedy taken Internally, as well as for external application, when used according to directions. The stain upon linen from its uso is readily removed by washing with alcohol. This Medicine, justly celebrated for the euro of so many of the afflictions incident to the human family, has now been before the public over thirty tears, and has found its way into almost overy corner of the world; and wherever it has been used, the same opinion is expressed of its medical properties. In any attack, where prompt action upon the system is required, the Pain Killer is invaluable. Its almost instan? taneous effect In Relieving Pain is truly wonderful; and when used according to directions, is true to its name, a PAIN KILLER. Cheering Facts for the Bilious. Every day demonstrates more clearly that liver com? plaint, in all its distressing forms, can be controlled and cured without difficulty or inconvenience. It is an obsti? nate disease, but its obstinacy is not proof against the pertinacious, remedial and restorative operation of Hos? tet tor's Stomach Bitters. That genial corrective compelt the organ to do itt duty. It mutt secrete regularly and health? fully under the influence of the Bitten. Their action brings it back from a state of rebellion into perfect har? mony with the laws of health. If there is costive nes?, it disappears ; If there is side-ache or back-ache, it ceases; if the skin and the whites of the eyes arc tinged with super? fluous bile, they recover their natursl hue ; if the appe? tite Is' goii'-, it returns; if the digestion is impaired, it is restored; in brief, whatever the symptoms? of th* com? plaint may '<? . ..mi whatever the phrase It has assumed, a eure it certain. Such are the uniform effect* of this prep? aration where bilious disease has been already developed; but in cases where there is merely a constitutional tenden? cy to liver complaint, it may be prevented throughout lite by the regular use, iu small quantities, of tills palatable antidote. These are proven facts, and should be miriously gondcrcd?or, rather, they should bo promptly acted upon y all persons of bilious habit.
