The Senate passed the bill to repeal j the Act prohibiting the sale of spiritu-1 ous liquors in Oconee county. The j bill to revise the usury Jaw was killed, j There was no opposition whatever to ! the bill to permit the sale of dome-tic j Wines (manufactured in the State) j tr-tfhnrtt ? lifv?nvfv Tho hi'l to amend I Section 1,021, General Statutes, relat- j ingr to disbursement of poll tax, was : killed. The House hill to require the board j of agriculture and the directors of the penitentiary to pay into the State treasury all moneys collected by them from any source had been unfavorably reported by the agricultural committee, who considered that it would hamper these departments in expenditures which were proper but could not be anticipated by the General Assembly I in its appropriation bills. Other Sena- j tors objected to it because it would i place both departments at the mercy , of legislators. It was speedily dis- j posecf of when it came tip for its second reading-. Senator Moody moved to indefinitely postpone the unfavorable report of the committee. Senator Youmans moved to table this motion. This last motion prevailed by the following vote: Yeas 20; nays 11. The bill was then killed. The House bill to repeal the Lien ; Law came up in the Senate on the 14th I idst. Senator Earle moved to strike out the enacting word*, and made a speech in favor of his motion, Those i who spoke in favor of repeal were Senators Woodward, Sligh and Leituer, and they were opposed by Senators Earle, Moody and Wallace. Those /* /*/* fiAno'f'AV?C T^oll RA?U ) nviv W1IUVVI ? J AXW.. ! bow, Coker, Earle, Field, Ilowell, McCall, Moody, Moore, of Hampton, Simmons, Smith, Wallace, Williams and Wingard?14. Those voting no were Senators Bietnann, Black, Bobo, Bnist, Clybnrn, Izlar, Leitner, Mauidin, Maxwell, Moore, of Anderson, Munro, Patterson, Rediearn, Sligh, Smytbe, Todd and Youmaus?17. Senators Byrd and Woodward, who wonld have voted "no," were paired with Senators Tatbert and Reynolds. The motion being lost, the question recurred on the passage of the bill. At this point the House appeared to participate in the ratification of Acts, and the bill, with the other special orders, was postponed until the next day. " v On the following day the discussion was resumed. On the" motiou to pass the-repealing biHj1 the vote stood: Yeas?Biemann, Black, Bobo, Buist, Clyburn, Izla, Leitner, Moore, of Anderson, Monro, Patterson, Redfeam, Sligh, Smythe, Todd and Woodward ?15.

A motion to reconsider, and to table that motion was lost. So the matter was left still open. The Senate killed the bilfr fixing the yju, priority of liens?giving the landlord the first lien, the laborer the second. The matter came np again on the 17th inst., when the bill to fix the prioritj' of liens was reconsidered, and passed. On the 18th the bill was passed to its third reading, in the following shape: "Section 1*. That fron. and after the r>assap-e of this act the landlord shall have a lien npon the crops of hi* tenant for his reut, in preference to all other liens. That laborers who as>r?t inmaking any crop shall have a lien thereon to the extent of the araonnt dee them for such labor, next in priority t? the landlord, and as between such laborers there shall be no preference. That all other liens for agricultural supplies shall be paid next after the satisfaction of the liens of the landlord and laborers, and shall rank in other * respects as they do now under exist-' ing laws. "Sec. 2. That no writing or recording shall be necessary .to create the liens of the landlord, and of the laborer, but such lieu shall exist from the date of the contract, whether the same be in writing or verbal. O JLLU-U an aim ijaiio vi ; acts inconsistent with or supplied by j this act be, and the same are hereby,! repealed." This bill does not affect liens for supplies, bat places such liens subordinate to landlords' and laborers' liens. Senator Pattersou endeavored to have reconsidered the "adverse vote of n the Senate on the bill authorizing the payment of expenses of county school commissioners incurred in attending meetings called by the State superintendent of educatiou. He was supported by Senator Buisi, and opposed t- "x XT ... oy oenaior jLouiiiaus, upun miiusc' motion the reconsideration was refused and the bill finally killed. The bill to regulate the hiring out of convicts caused a long debaie. This bill removes the restrictions imposed bv the Act of 1884. As amended, however, it provides that any contractor or any other person or persons who shall violate the provisions of any law regulating the hiring of convicts shall be held guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be punished by imprisonment not exceeding five years or by fine not exceeding $500; , and in all such cases any convbt ehall Ka n AAmnifnnf trifnoco fnf* tJin UV OB wuipviv.??v H t M1VOO 1VI tuv _/ 11* I The bill reported by the judiciary committee to repeal the Barnwell county Prohibitory Act, catne np for its second reading. Senator Smvthe said that it had been introdaced at the request of the Senator irom Barnwell. The Prohibitory Act had been passed by this body at the instance of the former Senator >.(Dr. Lartigue), but that gentleman had appeared before the judiciary committee to stite that the law had" failed and to ask for its repeal. Senator Yonmans in supporting the bill based his argument on the inefK- j Cacr of the law. There were good j people on each side. He himself had | been little interested in the matter, and i was no partisan, but he had been com- j pelled to take this position. The i county was distracted, the law was j . ; flagrantly violated and the adminietra-j tion of justice was closed. What had ! more effect on his mind than anything | else was an inspection of the books of ! the United Sta'es internal revenue j department, it appears irom tnesc records that in 1S8S, before Prohibit ion had been decreed, the United States issued licenses to twenty-three whiskey I dealers in Barnwell comity. In 1884. J after the county had been inadc "dry" ; T>y Act of the Le<rislature? twenty-eight i United States licenses were issued, and j in the seven months since last May the issue had increased to thirty-eight It was estimated that only one-third of the whiskey sellers had United States I licensee This was the condition of! the county^ He referred to the failure of the efforts to punish illicit liquor selling. liie Dili was mriner ai*cu?seu uy ; Senators Moody of Marion, and Howell I of Colleton, who spoke against it. The [ motion to strike out the enacting clause j of the bill was?yeas 18, and nays 1(5. i So the bill was killed. Thecensns bill passed by the llou-e ' came np on the 16th inst. After some discussion the Senate rejected the bill; by a vole of 19 to 14. 1 When thft concurrent resolution rel-j jISS v : Bl . " a i\e tn Frderal aid to education was reached on the Calendar Senator Youman? moved to-strike oat the resolving words. After brief debate between himself and Senator Buist, the Senate voted on the question. There were H yea* and 19 nays. A motion to make the resolution a special order for Friday was lost bv a vote of 13 to 1(1 rill . 4 IV. J lie ICMJ1UUUM Wits lilCIl iiuwpicu ?yeas 18, nays 10. A concurrent resolution was passed and sent to the House providing lor adjournment on the 2-ith inst. Senator Smytlie's concurrent resolution providing for the return to Asher Palmer of his stoves, &c., which the Senate refused to pav for, was, after some discussion defeated bv a vote of 19 to 15. The Columbia Canal bill appropriates S15.000 out of the State treasurv. to be returned from the surplus earnings of the penitentiary. Ir parsed the Senate by a vote of 20 to 14. The bill to compel tiie charge of a minimum tuition fee of ?40 in the South Carolina College, caused some debate, but was killed by a vote 18 to it). A large number of bills, oficcal or limited interest only, were pas.-cd to their third reading. The canal bill passed its third reading without opposition. Senator J. B. Moore's bill to make the appropriation $5,000 only, was killed. The House bill (Dr. Pope's) to regulate lawyers' costs was killed by a vote of 18 to 15. The bill to reduce the Railroad Commission to one member, appointed by the Governor, was passed to its third reading by a vote of 26 to 7. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

It appropriates $83,641.38, and provides for the completion of the contemplated work : before the next session of the General Assembly. The bill to provide for the infliction | of corporal punishment was killed. The bill to authorize the sinking fund commissioners to invest such portion of the fund in their possession as they may deem advisable in the purchase and improvement of lands for the use of the State Peniteutiaary was indefinitely postponed. The Senote amendments to the bill to n.tilize the labor of convicts were agreed to. As the bill passed the House i prisoners sentenced to one year or ! less imprisonment were made liable to [ work on public works. The Senate j fixed the tenn at sixty days. The ways and means committee of j the House submitted a report on that | portion of the Governor's message rc| ferring to the lost tax year. The comi miltee suggest that the State treasurer ! be authorized to borrow $150,000 and ! the county treasurer^ one-third th*> { amount lieved for county purpose? J They say that ii>- their opinion there i are but two ways in which the defi! ciency caused by the failtnv ro levy a I tax in 197G can be summ ed. One is j to rai3c the money the money by extra j taxation, and the other to amend the I Constitution so as to permit the issuing | of bonds to cover the amount, 'i hey | cannot recommend tins latter proceed: inff. They think that an extra tax of one half a mill for two years will supply the deficiency. The report was laid upon the table to be considered later in the session. Gen. Hemphill's bill to apolish free tuition in the Sonth Carolina College, caused a long and warm debate. Mr. Simonton moved to strike out the enacting clause, and spoke in favor of ; free tuition. Messrs." Scudday of An; derson, Spencer of Chesterfiield, Lyles | of .Richland, Aldrich of Aiken, Rav>or ! ofTQranjreburg, Haskell of Richland, j atpd fiatsou i.of Hampton spoke on the same'side. Messrs; iiemphill ot Abbeville, Wilson of Spartanburg, Pettigrew;:oJf Darimgtoti, ^Donald-mi and Ausett dfOreenvilfe, and Pope of Newberry, spoke in favor of the bill. The "yeas and nays were called on the .notion tO"SE#ife:Otrt the'enacting^ clause, and <re.?-n 1 te&TYeas 80, nays 39. So the bill was killed. " ''The .fclouse adopted a concurrent resolution looking to the purchase by the State of the old "Star Fort" in Abbeville couutv. near Ninetv?Six. The j secretary of State has been directed to inquire npon what terras the property [ can be purchased and to report to the ! next session of the (xeneral Assembly. A resolution has also been adopted [ requesting the Representatives in Congress of the State to secnre if possible a repeal of the 10 per cent, tax on the circulation of State banks. Mr. Ansel offered a resolution to adjourn sine die ou the 23d. Ten members objected and the resolution went over until the 18th inst. A resolution was also introduced by Mr. Chandler providing for a recess from December 23 to January 5. This likevricp wpnf nvnr nttitar r.hfi mips. The bill to reform the criminal practice in the Conrts of Sessions was recommitted to the judiciary committee. There was very little chance of its passage, as the lawyers are very far apart on the subject. There was a long and stubborn fight in the House lasting' over two hours, on a biil to provide a stenographer for the Third circuit. The opposition to the bill came principally from Marion, Chesterfield, Ilorrv, Georgetown and Williamsburg counties. After moch filibustering the bill wentthrongh with amendments inclncling the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth circuits. The bill passed by a vote of 60 to 40. Mr Folk's bill to bar the dower of married women was defeated, and a similar fate befel Mr. Rice's bill to instruct the Governor to cull a Constitutional Convention. There was some discussion on a bill to regulate the fees of physicians aud surgeons for testifying as experts in criminal cases, in which Mr. Pettigrew. of Darlington, made the statement that some of the doctors in his county were in the habit of hunting np post-mortems for the fees. The bil! was finally pa-sed. The bill to license the buying of seed cotton ii! Orangeburg county came tip and wa? passed with amendments, embracing in its terms the counties of Charleston, Edgefield, Anderson, York, Fairfield, Greenville, Chester, Abbe villc, Marlboro. Laurens and Union. The bill fixes the license at $o00, and makes it a misdemeanor for any one to buy seed cotton withont having taken oat a license. Tl?e question of adjournment '.*as incidentally discussed in the House during Thursday morning on a resolution from the Senate to adjourn sinedie on the 24th. A motion wa* made to postpone the consideration of the reso lution until Mondav, and in support of this it was urged that it would be unwise for the General A>semblv to commit itsrlfto adjournment at this time, as it might be possible that*, a new census bill would have to be considered. The motion .was adopted. The hill to pro.vide .& liqnor license for Beaufort county wj?s reached on Friday. The Prohibitionists were ? ?

The bill introduced by Mr. Donsr- i i lass, of Fairtifhl, relating to the ap-! | poiutmeut, powers and duties of tIirr| ) board of equalization, was ki'h-d. The appropriation bill contains a j feature important to the military. It provides thai no company shall receive its proportion of the gl4,00'J appropriation unless it ha?- 'trilled at h ast i once a month during the vcar, with | not less than twenty men in ranks. - Mr. Lee, of Sumter, moved to re-! commit the bill with a view of getting j in an amendment appropriating ?25,000 fen- tlie taking of census. Mr. Lee i* the author oi' the census bill which had passed the House and which was kiiled in the Senate. Mr. Haskell, the chairman of the wars and means committee, stated that he had submitted the amendment to the committee, who had by a vote of 3 to 1 refused to recommend ir. He suggested thai, the amendment might be introduced in the Senate. Mr. Lee thereupon withdrew the motion to recommit, and moved to reconsider the vote whereby the bill was passed to a third reading. The I motion prevailed and the bill was again before the House. Mr. Lee's j auiciiuujuut. ? a5 u LIIU question was called, the amendment adopted and the bill again ordered to a third reading-. The following bills were rejected: Bill to amend the act to limit the ages j of pupils attending the tree public! schools, approved December 7, 1S83; bill to authorize the payment of ex peuscs of the County School Commissioners incurred in attending meetings called by the Str.te Superintendent ot Education; bill ?o relinquish all the right, title and interest of the Siatecfj South Carolina in and to certain real estate whereof Mary Jane Ilabon ot j Horrv, a bastard, died seized, and vest j the same in certain persons therein j mentioned; bill for a distribution of j school tax money between the two race>, accurtiiiig uiu uiaw paiti uv i each. Mr. I?lne's concurrent resolution | looking to the conversion of the Citadel into a female institute elicited a short debate. Mr. Haskell otiered a substitute to the effect tliLt the Committee on Education inquire into and report a plan to provide for a free college for girls outside the Citadel AcadeMy. This was agreed to. THE APPROPRIATIONS. The House committee of ways and means reported the bill to make appropriations, which contained the following item?: Governor and Lieutenant-Governor, ?10.650; Secretary of State, ?4,100; Comptroller-General, $6,450; State j Treasurer, ?7,100; Superintendent of Education, S(>,400; Adjutant and Inspector General (militia), 818,900; Aftornev-General, 87,8G0; State Librarian, 81,025; State House and grounds, $1,660; judiciary department, 856,750; health department, ?12,100: tax department. 894,400; agricultural department, 824,909; Univer^its 821,100; Citadel, 8-0,000; penitentiary, 8109,000; lunatic asylum, 822,810; deaf, dumb and blind, $14,231; Catawba j Indians, $800; miscellaneous, 869,490; | total, 8499,735.

This is in accordance wilh tne bill recently passed by the House requiring these departments to pay all the moneys collected bv them into the State treasury, and fjrbiddii:<r them to draw out except upon legislative appropriations. There were but few changes made in these figures. An appropriation of $150 for the Carolina Teacher was stricken out. The appropriation for the Citadel was reduced to $17,000. All efforts to reduce the sum for the University failed. An addition of S25,000 was made for taking the census?as above stated. THE TAX LEVIES.

Happy Thought in the Night. For years Mr. Jas. K. Ackiey, ol 163 West Fayeite street, Baltimore, had suflVred with neuralgia su that he could hardly sleep. But lie writes, "One night I was suffering very much and the thought struck me that Brown's Iron Bitters would do rnc some good, and perhaps cure me. It was a happ\ thought, and to iny great joy it has entirely cured me after using two bottles. After three monshs I have had no return of the symptoms. I cheerfully recommend it as the best tonic I have ever used." Neuralgia sufferers, tafce the hint: The Hard Winter in Kansas. At Arkansas City, Kansas, snow to a depth of seven inches fell on the night of December 11, and remain* on the ground yet, covering all tlie 1'ecd from the range of cat:if, except on bottom lands.

(Southern Ctlticn'or.) Up to the }?re>cnt us:>Hth lli<* former k-,. i....,.; ,i '1*1,,, liar* UCCll iuumi^ ivn nanii i uv, v,v#usummation of his plans, tlie linal outcome of his lab??r and toil, in the shape i)f cotion bales and other crops, have been the objective points before i im. Now, these cease to be matters ofexpection and become matters of fact. We hope hi.s expectations have not been too large and his crops too small: we trust that having sown wisely, he has reaped bountifully. Dut, however, well he has done, lie might have done better; farming lias not reached perfection and a retro?p". I may be very useful. Let ?-.s go back together and review the year's work. Looking at it now in.the light of results, was your year's work well planned? In the first place was the work undertaken proportionate to your means; did you !r* ip.Arn vnn mil M well manage; did you attempt to ilo more than you could well manage; jid you have enough horse-power to work to best advantage; did you make all thesubstitution possibleof machines and horse-power in place of more costly human power; did you spread out the manure you had over too many acres; did yon buy fertilizers judiciously and economically: did you cultivate your land so as to save it from washing, and is it in better condition how than it was a year ago; how is the balance-sheet between expense and receipts? i?.wi? JLJIIWCa > KJL IKJ (lll^VUI VjU1. in a calm, candid spirit, laying a>ide all conceit and pride of opinion. Do not attribute to *casoi:s what might have been preventer! by foresight and energy on your part. It is ar. old tiick of farmers to explain all failureby laying them at the door of bad seasons. Difficulties occur in every occupation; the successful man is he wtiA uruviilos l\>r and over comes them. But to our questions. Was your work well planned: did you have fixed plans or did you just work along as weather and circumstances suggesied? To illustrate: There are certain kinds of work which can be iloiu* oti wet days and when, the ground is to.) wet to plow?ffoiiuf to mil!, hauling manure, gathering litter, hauling wood making composts, etc. Dili you always look ahead and arrange, so that any of these, which of necessity must be done, were done and out of the way when the time f.?r plowing came? When the period for planting a crop drew nigh and preparation for it could not be deferred, did it find von with comnosts in sacks o:* barrel. already hauled out and distributed conveniently about the fields to wnich they were applied, or were your team* stopped then to do hauling when every animal should have been hitched to a plow? Had you studied out carefully ihe best appliances and most expedios method of putting out compose, and was everything ready to do the work rapidly and well? if your laud was rolling and the rows had to be run on a level, as they always should bi;, had you established your lines of levels -! ... L.J il." ..I ur guides, Ol" uau me piowueii times lo wait tor you to run one, and if (he hurry was very great, were the rows nm by guess and therefore imperfectly; was the quantity of compost to be applied to an acre decided on, and were there ony arrangements to guage it? A mo>t excelU-ut plan is to make a memorandum in advance of all work to be done, adding thereto anything that may be suggested by daily observation and experience. Consider this list carefully and c??aoi:..u ?t.~ i?.. ,..o 11911 UIU UI -1UI ill U ciio uitn'uo items are to be executed, and recast the memorandum accordingly This recasting should be done several times in the course of a \ear, as circumstances may unavoidably interfere siud necessitate changes. Was the- work undertaken proportionate to your means; did vou have funds in hand (working capital) sutlicient to pay for all the labor nccduil, all the supplies, all the fertilizers, ami all the implements which couM be profitably used, or did you have to place yourself at the mercy of merchants and dealers and obligate yourself to pay fifty to one hundred per miiro for such things than thirv could be had for cash? Do you think you can make such large percentageon money used in farming? It is donbjfnl if there has been an average of eight per cent, made by farmers during the last ten year?.' Scarcely any legitimate business pays more than that, if you did not h:ive tiie necessary working capital to cultivate as much as yon did, it would have been &ai'er, it would have been betier to have undertaken less. What prolit and pleasure is there in cultivating thirty or forty or fitly more additional acres, tne wr.oie yuua or wnicn, :mu more too, mast go to Mr. Merchant? A> has been tersely and aptly said, you simply make yourself the merchant's overseer over free Negroes, with a guarantee that they shall make him so many bales of cotton. Had you not better save yourself the worry and I vexation of spirit; had you not better let your land test and recuperate? It money can be borrowed at seven per cent., with a reasonable ptospeot <>i making1 ten per cent, on its use, one j might be justified in borrowing; but j how is It when inonev is borrowed at 1 uy per cem., wnn a very c: rem: prospect of not making more dan eight or ten percent, with it? I- ii not passing strange that >car afier year men will make such venture-? Habit and a blind, unreasonable hope alone must lead them to do it. Tiiejv have been contraction and shrinkage in almost every business?let farmcis follow the good example also. Cm down the number of acres cultiv;t:?-d, specially in case of crops that require much work; make up your mimt r.? strike the first blow at the col ton iichl. [t has made you ilie slave of the nn r ;hant and placed vou at the mercy <<i Lhe negro. Strike for independence jfboth. Select the bestlandyon have, 'specially that which is rich in humu-, iiid concentrate upon a few acres ot i? ;hc labor of preparation and the nanarc you can get and give ihe crop lie most thorough cultivation?aim for two bales to the acre instead of :wo acres to the bale. If you can liake it, there will be some" prolit; :here ir certainly little or none in the jxtensive system you have followed or years past. The Southern Forestry Congress. The session of the Southern Stales forestry Congress at Defuniak, FIm.. ast week, was largely attended by Iele<?ate3 from Florida and the neijrh >uring Southern States and from j Northern State4. Interest in forestry, is shown by the larjje delegation of eDresentative men, has more than ulfilled the expectations of* Governor \-rry, Patron of this first. Southern forestry Congress. An interesting feature of the exercises was the planing and dedication of trees in a naional circle to every State and Terriorv in the Union, in the circle ot f honor livfcoak trees were dedicated, vith imposing ceremonies, to Oliver iVendell Holmes, Whittior, Paul laync, E.
