TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1885. 3l*B8CKlPTlON $2 OC LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS. KKXATK. Columbia, S. C., Dec., 11, 1885. The Senate to-day defeated b}' a voti of 120 to 11 tin? bili requiring the incoinc of the penitentiury and agricultural de^ partnient to be paid into the State treasury, and passed the bill perniittinir the sale without licensc of domestic wine by the makers thereof. The memoria of the harbor commissioners o Charleston was acted upon adversely A motion to indefinitely postpone th< bill abolishing the lien law was lost af er six speeches by a vote of 14 yeas t( to 17 nays. The main question will b( put to-morrow. In joint assembly twenty-five Acts were ratified. Senator Woodward's desk was deco rated with a bouquet sent him by ladiei of Fairfield, in Acknowledgment of hii interview in the JV'euv* and Courier 01 the Fairfield Regulators. To-morrow the Senate will find soini important matters awaiting its verdict? the College tuition bill, the lien law repeal bill, the Columbia Canal bills, th< bill for the abolition of the railroa< commission and the census bill. Senators Smvtho and Buist, in re sponse to inquiries, gave the followini explanation of their voto against th< motion to indefinitely postpone the bil repealing the lien law: Immediately following the bill was one which hu< already passed the House, and whicl established the priority of certain liens It has already been printed in the yew, and Courier. It gives the landlord tb< first lien and the laborer the second without the requirement of writing oi recording. This lonvno tVio out in the cold. The enactment of thii bill would bo more obnoxious to th< Charleston Senators than the sweeping repeal of the whole law. They sough to get it taken up first but failed. Th< repealing bill catne up. If it shouh fail the lien law /eould exist with th< priorties to be settled by the bill fol lowing. If it should pass the repea thus enacted would deprive the priority bill of a foundation to rest on. Tin Senators prefer no lien law at all to on< amended as the priority bill proposes so they voted to-dny against killing th< repealing tho repealing bill. Parliamentary tactics will be employ ed freelv to nrevpnt th? noocoiw ?!?!. v -- j ?V/l Willi er. Thera was no vote to-day unac counted for except by pairs, and th< Charleston Senators seem to hold th< balance of power on the repeal. Thej probably cannot control the priority bill In the House to-day the bill to appro priate $75,000 for the completion of th< State House, the bill to amend the char tor of the Georgetown and North Caro lina Railroad, and the bill to provide foi the appointment of local boards o health outside of incorporated towm were passed. Tho corporal punislimen bill was indefinitely postponed. THE STATE TAX LAW. The ways and means committee o the House at a meeting to-night fixer the State tnx levy in the supply bill a five and a quarter mills, a quarter of i mill, or $35,000 less than last year The items in the appropriation bill ag gregale $15,000 less than last year. Th< surplus on hand will supply the differ ence. Columbia, Dec., 15th 2885. The calendar was taken up and the work embraced in it was rapidly dispos ed of, so that by 1 P. M. the special order bills were reached. Nineteen bills passed a third reading. The titles of the three following being changed to acts : Bill to direct the I Comptroller General to report the nnnief of all citizens of this State who are disabled from earning a livelyhood by | reason of wounds and other disabilities iucurrod during the late war between the States; joint resolution to pay I). D. Verner twenty-eight 38-100 dollars overpaid taxes for the year 1877 ; and a joint resolution to pay to L M. Gentry the amount due him under the warranty deed of the State, A number of House bills were amended on their third reading and returned to tho House for concurrence, i ..u.?nK uioiii cue uiu 10 amend Section 2478 of the General Statutes relating to Htealing grain, etc., from the field. The bill provides to declare the offense h felony and punish it accordingly, but Mr. Smythe's amendment, which was adopted. reduces it to a misdemeanor and tho imprisonment for it to one year. ? \\.;M honsb. Columbia, 8. C., Dec. 15, 1885. The announcement in yesterday's Iiegittei?that the bill to abolish free tuition in tho South Carolina College ' 13 wouiu come up tor antcussion, drew a very Urge crowd of visitor*. The lobbied of the House were packed, a conconsiderable part of the orowd being students of the College and cadets of the Citadel Acadcmy. A numb?r of J members of the Methodist Conference s were present, and touk a deep in- i terest in the proceedings. Several of 1 the College professors, who wore pros- t , ent. follow ?d the discussion with close t attention, and the larsje number of la- 8 dies, who occupied the sofas, reliohed i the discussion and were delighted with the result. i 1 The bill whiqh was introduced by t : Col. K. 11. Hemphill, of Abbeville, came ? ill* \r in f Un i* * *?*?? I /?? ? -I - c %?|/ ?.%% aj in VMV olioniVMI, MUl HUM UU* t I'errod from day to clay as a special or- < dev. When it was taken up the deU.r- i munition was to got through with it. ] It is exactly the same bill that this * member introduced nt the lust session of 1 the Goneral Assembly. It will be re- 1 mcmbered it was rejected last session < by an overwhelming majority. Since . then the question has been constantly i agitated i*? the public press, the friends . ' of tha denominational colleges taking 5 an active part in the discussion and writ- i I ing much against the free instituilion f feature. The argument which they i urged so energetically was that the law allowing free tuition in the t Colleg 4 works injuriously to the welfare of the - denominational institutions. Colonel ! } Hemphill's bill was designed to voice this sentiment and to remedy the fancied evil by doing away with the cause r ?-free tuition. Previous to the opening of the debate the reporters of the Jtcy. inter nisde a canvass of the members and figured out the result pretty accurately. s Col. Simonton of Charleston moved v that the enacting words of the bill be stricken out, and made a short but exe ceediugly able argument supporting that motion. In the course of his re' marks he said : After a careful examination into the 2 condition of affairs it has been decided j that one-half of the young men now in the University will be compelled to abandon their studies and return to - their homes if this bill should pass, r Is the significance of this fact apprecia,, ted? These young men who have made " a sacrifice to come here and get an education aro to be forced to leave their t books ami return home. Those young i men are poor. Are we who are the repj rcsentatives of the iinpovetished people to say to these young men that they * must abandon their efforts to get an eds' ueation simply because they are poor. y 1 am an advocate of free tuition. I be * " - Iictu mill, civrjr Vlll/.eil <>l I HO tMUlC 18 ' on titled to tho benefits of tho College. 1 There is no innn who does not recogt nize that a good education is the host s gift that he can possibly give his child. , The Constitution is filled with instructions to the Legislature to provide for * the education of the children of the ' State. If it is the duty of the Siate to j furnish education to the voting men of j the State, is it right that those benefits shall he conferred only upon those who can attortl to pay for the privilege ? No, let us open this institution to all 1 the chiidren, so that the poor may enr joy the benefits of a higher education. I The argument is used that the colleges sustained by the bounty of the State 1 are rivals of the denominational eolle, grs of the State. Is not this protection ' ? run mad ? What good can the passage of this, measure exert upon these denominational institutions ? Will the forty dollars which it is sought to com pel each student to pay, help these col logos ? I do not ask you to consider , this question as members of ly relig' ious denomination, but as c.Jzons of 1 the State. Have you an}' right to dor prive the poor young men of the State . of the advantages of an educution ? . This is the one question." Colonel Siuionton proceeded to argue the question ' in his convincing manner. Mr. Blue of Marion, asked : "Cannot - the State provide equally for the higher r education of the young ladies as for the P young men ?" Colonel Siinonton replied, "Why, ccr4 tainly." t Mr. R. H. Hemphill said th?' present i bill was the same one which he had had the honor introducing at the hist meeting of the General Assembly, ?nd f which had been overwheiningly voted l I down. He said the bill u-.-tu nntl?in? , t - - v _ 6 but a declaration of the constutional ?-equiremonts. His bill only sought to 1 compel tho trustees of the university to . be compelled to charge tuition to all the . students except tho beneficiaries. All he asked was that the law as it exists ' shall be carried. It is not necessary to ' discuss this question, for it has been fully discussed in the press of the Stnto. The object of the advocates of this . measure is simply to sen that the deJ nominational colleges of the State shall , not be unjustly discriminated against ' by allowing free tuition in the South Carolina College, lie said he was in < favor of a fair and friendly rivalry be> tween the colleges. ; Mr. Scudday of Anderson followed in 1 > a realty eloquent speech. ( i Mr. Stanyqrne Wilson of Spartanburg made ono of his earnest speeches against the motion to strike out the en- ' i acting words. .He discuss-d the question in all its aspects, denying at the I outset the obligation resting on tho , i State to educate her sons in higher education. He elaborated this point and ' quoted from Adam Smith to sustain his ' proposition. He urged tho point that J if the State provides for the education of tho masses in schools, it is all that ' can be expected, and that, after getting a common scool education, such boys as 1 have the right stuff in them will find a < , way to get a higher education. Ho said ] i he would not raise his voico against the , University of the State : he recognised it as a necessary institution, but he 1 thought this free tuition feature was do- ] intc crreat harm to Ho w ... ? J Mr, Wilson's speech was a remarkably strong one from his point of view. ( The debate was farther participated ( in by the following members : Messrs. ( Spencer, Pettigrew, Donaldson of 1 flrnonvilln W ? T -..v.... ? , ... <1, ujrjtHs Ansel 01 . Greenville, Aldrich, Pope of Newberry. Rasor, Haskell. ' * Mr. Hatson said he had listened very ^ carefully to all the arguments advanced 1 by the friends of the hill, but he had j not heard one of any force^ He agroed f with Mr. Haskell that the aim of the bill is to destroy the college. Th? ene- * mios of the oolfege are taking this in- ^ lidious method of breaking down this T nstitution. Ho said the spirit of the ? aws is that the State shall provide free q uition for her sons. Mr. Hutson made ;he most of Irs seven minutes, and his " ihort argument carried conviction to the C ninds of his immense audience. 8I This ended the debate and the yeas ind nays were requested on the ques- ?I ion of striking out the enacting words S >f the bill. This was the result : Yeas j JO ; nays 39. As soon as the vote was ' leclared the crowd in the lobbies testiited their approval by a burst of ap- l[>lausc>. This the Speaker promptly S checked. The crowd now thinned out j, rapidly, most of the visitors repairing \ , :o the Senate chamber to hear the dis- 1 .r 1? i ' f ;uMaiiiii 01 uiu lien law. vThc following are those who voted t igainst the motion to kill the bill : j Ansel, Blake, Boggs, Bowen, Bradlej, , Bramlett, Brice, G.

Grkkxvillk, December 18.?A conention of the policy-holders of the Itlantic division of the Mutual Selfindowinent and Benevolent Association f America has been in session all tolay in this city, Mr. JoJin 0. Peoples, of Tewherry, presiding. The convention ras caueu to oruer by the Kev. W. 1). layfield, in consequence of the national r homo association, with headquarters t Fort Worth, Texas. The Atlantic '{vision has issued nince its organizaion on December 24, 1884, twontyight hundred and forty-four policies gjjregnting about #18,000,000insurance. )uing its existence it has received and ut by its officers hero something over (>0,000. The division withdrew from he home association on November 27 fist, just ten days previous to the failure f the association, and sot up as an iniependent association. The stated object of to-daya convenioit was to decide upon going on with Is business as an independent organizaion, but the proceedings have developd so tangled a condition of its affairs bat continuance is deemed impossible, i ome crooked looking facts have tran-| pirea. a committee appointed to exmine the legal status of affairs asceriined that the withdrawal from the orne nsssociation was illegal and in pen violation of tho constitution, beides without the consent of the tnemers; that the assets of the divisions re liable for the debts of the association ml that a mandamus could compel the cessment of money to pay those debts, his astonishing information struck con- * lernation upon the unposted members J [id there was talk of an immediate dis-1 ilution. The report of the president/ id that of the secretary and treasureif low that the division is carrying $18/ VWInaMMnA" ?? *-* ...nii.niivti , mikv ib mm umKianw ig coupon claims amounting J 1,700,000 that fall due between 11/ id 1889: that the treasury contain* 3 uit of $023. This statement of r* nances, together with tho Tint thy* ilMMIIW M?M?8??WKO???? s hopelessly involved in the downfall of the home association, seemed to have settled the hash of the concern, and the convention has spent the afternoon in ?ndeavoring r?? determine how to wiu<l llie thing up. The president, the Kev. W. 1>. Maylield is in Texas, and it transpires toil ight that tho secretary, who 1ms charge and control of the funds is not under bond, notwithstanding he represented to members of the convention to-day that he was under bond with good sureties for $5,000. The convention met to-night and discussed the subject of disposing of the cash on hand when Deputy Sheriff' Gilreath entered and attached the balance of the funds for Blythe and Mayfleld, attorneys of this city for legal service. A deputy has taken charge of the secretary's office and effects, and the coven tion is engaged in unravelling possibilities that to-day's discoveries and events have brought within rango. It will be endeavored to get the money on hand deposited in bank subject to the order of the Court.
