New matter is being prepar ed and bills introduced daily, am), at j the preaeni rate, if they adjourn before Christmas, more than three hundred bills will he left on the calendar for the next legislature. Some very im portant matters have bepn passed) upon, and among them we tnpptjon the hill to prevent and punish tjjc in termarrying of the rapes ; arid ulso the public debt question has been practically settled opd we hope is for ever bejopd ibe reach pf politics; also the bill'relating *Q forfeited lands which is a very humane and just measure | also the supply bill and general appropriation bills have made rapid progress and it is Ihprjght that the lax next year will pot exceed 0 12 mills?possibly comp under. While these matters have received the necessary attention they deserved, there arc other important matters oi general interest which sccrn to be dragging slowly along. The registra tion law, strange to sa}*, seems to meet with little help. The bill to re peal the "Two Box Law," one for Slate and county ollicers and the oth er for Congressmen and Presidential Kleetors, meets with stubborn oppo sition from the up-country and will probably fail. The bill to establish an Agricultural College on the old University grounds at Columbia for while children, comes up well sup ported and will possibly pass. It provides for Hie restoration of the Agricultural College Fund, the pro* cceds of which were invested in Slate bonds, and afterward gobbled up by Financial Agent Kimpton. The Trus tees of the University, through its committee of which Hon. Samuel Dibble was chairman, ask for authori ty to use the interest of Ibis fuud for the education of white children in Co lumbia as well as of colored children at Orangcburg wilh free tuition, also to establish for each Congressional District such additional scholarships as the income will allow. It is pro posed to inn the school with three professors, tuition free to all children. The bill giving the power to school districts of local taxation as far as 1 1-2 mills is slill hanging lire with out even a vote. It does not seem to meet with the favor its supporters expected. The bill granting divorces for adultery is in its passage wilh several warm supporters. We hope it will die befote it reaches its third leading?we want no such law in this State. The bill lo facilitate the com pletion of the old Hluc Ridge Rail road is under discussion and we hope the Legislature will act cautiously in this matter. The road has already cost the State nearly four millions of dollars in money besides her endorse ment for one and a half millions anore. It is estimated that five mill hmw will lie needed yet to complete it. This is a huge undertaking for an impoverished pcop e and we trust the members will consider it wi ll be fore lhejr act. A hill appropriating 820,000 for the purchase of artificial legs for Confederate soldiers was ^passed lo its third reading. Ranging Up the Stocking. "Who* nnd where this custom bog an ?wc tcannofc exactly say, hut we do ttknow tthfitt ort is one of the most de Jigbliul ifcfttur.es connected with the ?Christinas holiday*. From the car .liest period of .our remembrance, and .as far hack ae tradition reaches it has been a .custom to g.lv? gifts to the '.little or?e?ay. In view of this., the startling announcement is made with authority that Mr. Tilden docs not desire to hi a candidate again. He is growing l< he an aged man and desires rest fron the "constant woiry and irritation consequent upon active participation in politics." His fortune is ample, ins ambit\on und his political nspita ralions have been satisfied, and the inclination is growing stronger every day to enjoy the quiet comforts und peace of home. Ho was*once elected President of the United States, once too often cheated out.of his right, and now. the question arises, wbother he will not iive better in history as an elected and cheated President than to run again und serve four years. The South, notwithstanding Gen. Gary's preference, is willing to let the old man rest. - mm + m The State Debt Question. .In a previous issue wo expressed the hope that the decision of the Su preme Court, recently made upon the bonded indebtedness of the stntc, might be acquiesced iu by Hie Legis lature arid this much vexed question be thus taken out of the campaign ol 1880. it was there, nnd is now, yerj desirable that this question be not made un issue in tho next election. It is absolutely necessary that wo go into that election as little encumber ed by mailers of this nature as pos sible. Indeed the only question thai should exercise the minds of oar peo ple in that contest, ought to he a Democratic rule as opposed lo Radi calism, or its equivalent, an honest government as opposed to that of dis honest}'. We are glad therefore that a general acquiescence lias been given not only by the Legislature but by the bond men and the anli-l ond men, and that an appropriation of 9109,000 has been made for tlio payment of accruing interest. We consider this, though a necessity, one of the most important measures acted upon by the Legislature, Ireland. This country, rendered historic as much for its misfortunes as anything else, has for the last year presented the appearance of a pent up volcano making every effort to burst forth in a terrible erruption. This condition of Irish affairs is due to a long series of troubles finding their origin in gov ernmental oppression nnd political exclusion by the English. The cli max has been reached in the present year by tho close competition ol American products and the terrible suffering consequent upon a bad sea son and a general failure of crops throughout tho country. Tenants have failed to meet their rents nnd landowners arc pushing them for pay ment. In the midst of this state of things, Irish leaders at home have advised them to pay as far as possi ble and to resist ivy force all demands beyond their ability to pay. Some measure of iclief, by way of conces sion, must be made by the govern ment or the trouble is not yet ended. Starving people recognize no law. Sunday Freight Traits. This Florence Tim* a favors the passage of the Act to prevent freight trains running on Sunday. It says: 4*Thcrc are many reasons why the Act should be passed, prominent among which are, that men need rest as well as brutes?rest of body and, of mind and that it is a violation of physical laws not to rest one day iu seven. Statistics abundanly prove that men who habitually woikon the Sabbath soon wear out. There are highar rea sons why the Sabbath should be re spected by railroad corporations. Moral responsibility must rest some where, shirk it as they may. If it is getting to be a belief that railroad men can violate the Sabbath upon the ground of expediency, it is high time for the fallacy lo be exploded.*' Gen. McGowan's Election. It seems that the election of Gener al McGowan as Associalc Jnstico of the Supreme Court, has given general satisfaction throughout the State. He has devoted his life to the study and practice of the law, and when he was yet a young man, he took a aland at the hai which it took others years of labor and study to reach. No one [who knows him will doubt for a .mo ment that ho will adorn the high and responsible position lo which he has been promoted. South Crroiina lias no truer son, or one to whom she would sooner turn with confidence in the hour of difficulty or danger.? ('Olumdia Yeoman.
