The election was held last week. Laurens has gone back to her first love, and hereafter licenses will be granted for the sale of spirituous i liquors. There was a tight contest. J Prohibition is being agitated in a j lively manner in several towns and citie3 ox this States. It does seem j that this question will, ere long, as- i snme a national aspect in earnest, and no one at the present can safely prophecy the result. Whiskey may be ! legally run out in time, but it is our j candid opinion that until the mil- j lenium it will never be totally de- j stroyed. j A bill has been introduced into the j Alabama Legislature to remove the ; legal disabilities of women, and it will i probably be passed at the present ses-: sion. It puts a married woman on j precisely the same footing with a man i as to all her property rights. Another bill has for its object the protection of the wives and children of hard-labor convicts. It gives half the price of hire received by the county to ihe wife and children. The Hon. Benjamin Franklin Pcrrv, i ex-Governor of South Carolina, died ; at his home, near Greenville, on the : 3rd inst. He had been in declining ! health for some time, and had reached ' the advanced age of eightv-one years, j His was a life of usefulness, both to \ the State and National Government, J and his name will occupy a bright j page in the history of our grand old ! State. He was Ihe father of the Hon. W. H. Perry, our present Kepresenta- j tive in Congress. The national drill, which it is pro- j posed to be held in Washington next! May, promises to be the grandest mili- j tary display ever witnessed in our j country. Already one hundred and j Tiinft organizations, including two from j ? ' ? South Carolina, and representing twenty-seven States, hare made known their intention of taking part in the drill. Fifty thousand dollars to be expended in prizes has already been i subscribed by citizens of Washington, i The report has been circulated about' "Washington that the Austrian mission | would be offered to the Hon. Frank ; Hurd, the free-trade champion. We are glad to notice that the report has j been denied by Mr. Hurd. lie says i that his highest ambition is to regain j his old seat in the House of Jlepre-! sentatives. He is thoroughly devoted | to the cause of free trade, and he is I too able a man to be sent away when [ he is engaged in a cause so nearly ; affecting every citizen of our country. A special dispatch to the Hews and Courier of December 2 gives a full account of the lynching of a colored man in Florence on Tuesday night. As usual it was an attempt u> assault a young white girl. She made a gallant struggle and her cries for help ; brought assistance, when the villain fled. Fie was afterwards caught and fully identified by the girl, and on Tuesday night met the fate abovedescribed. It does seem strange that >V iiClI ? C ii?. ? v, nau ov/ that some men will commit such acts ^ when they know certain death awaits them if caught. The following is the oath which Governor Richardson took on Tucsday before entering upon the duties of his office: I do solemnly swear that I am duly qualified, according to the Constitution of the United States and of this State, to exercise the duties of the i l -1 T 1 1 I Oince 10 wmcn jl nave ueeu uieuitu, and that I will faithfully discharge to the best of my abilities the duties thereof; that I recognize the siiDremacy of the Constitution of t^ie United States over the Constitution and laws of any State, and that I will protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of South Carolina as ratified by the people on the 16th day of April, 1SC8. So help me God. Soon after the great calamity to Charleston we, with others, advocated some relief for the sufferers by the j earthquake in the way of their taxes., We are glad to notice that a bill pro- j viding for a reassessment ot the property in certain portions of the counties of Charleston, Berkeley and Colleton is now before the General As sembly. It is nothing but strict jus- J; tice to the people of Charleston that;, they should be relieved from paying i ] taxes upon property which in reality j < they do not possess, and thereby a 1 reassessment becomes necessary. It also provides for a rebate in certain ; [ cases where the money lias been ai- j3 ready paid. The bill should pass, ana j we hope it will. j < ?e>o -> toThe delegates sent by the States and ! , Territories met in Philadelphia last j' week to arrange for the Constitutional! i Centennial to be held in that city next j j September. The following programme j j has been arranged for the occasion I ( ? ^i.i? J?i:i ! , aiici wnoiuciauic uciiucittiiuii.

Petitions have been freelv cir- ; cnlated over the State and numerously j signed asking for a pardon, or at least! a commutation of the death sentence. [ The action of the Governor is awaited j with the greatest interest, but so far he has said nothing in regard to what his action will be. It has been reported that the condemned man will make a statement disclosing his whereabouts on the fatal night, but that it will not be made public until after it has reached the Governor. A i.ocal "barter of Washington says that Mrs. Cleveland is talking over the approaching social season with the ladies of the Cabinet officers witn a great deal of interest, and in a vein that promises plenty of gavetv after the month of mourning for ex-President Arthur is ended. The usual State dinners and receptions will, it is said, be attended with many select entertainments at the White House, to be given in honor of guests of the President and Mrs. Clevelana. The wife of the President is in excellent health, and entirely prepared to under go the exertions whicii the active social season will demand. During the past year forty-two manufacturing and other enterprises have been incorporated in tlris State under the Omnibus Act, passed by the Genetal Assembly, authorizing the Clerk of the Court to issue certificates in "certain cases made and provided." The amount of capital represented by the forty-two enterprises referred to is $1,377,000. It is a significant fact, as indicating [the growth'of high moral sentiment in the State, that sixteen churches, with a total capital stock of ADn hovA hspn inruirnnratrx] rinr V--JVVV, .....V ' - I iny the past year, and that eleven J benevolent and educational societies have also been organized. The churches and charitable institutions are keeping even step with the marvellous progress of industrial enterprise in South Carolina. In the one case we have the evidences of our material greatness, and in the other, running on a parallel lint-, an illustration of the civilizing tendencies of the Government under which we live. Ex-Governor Bullock, of Georgia, was in New York a few days ago, ntiri in conversation with a reoorter of the Mail and Express, said in reference to prohibition in Atlanta: "The city does a big1 jug business now. There are several counties adjacent that have no local option laws in force, and they furnish jugs lo the thirsty citizens of Atlanta. An express train comes in every afternoon, called the 'jug express,' with some hundred or so jugs filled with good whiskey, consigned to citizens. As much interest is taken in the arrival of this train as of one bringing a circus. There is no law to prohibit whiskey being conveyed to a private residence in a jug. I think pretty near as much whiskej is drunk as before, only it i9 not done openlv. Native wine is not prohibited, and a great deal of it is consumed. Atlanta is naturally a wet city, bin the county is dry, and the Ul v > vies ui iuu wuui i n mi niuov the city defeated the wets. Atlanta has not suffered from depression in business, as some allege, because of prohibition. At the end of two years the terra expires, and I think we will adopt a high license system." The Sunday Reics contained excellent cuts and biographical sketches of Governor .Richardson and all his associates in the States offices. It is a fine looking body of men, and under their charge we feel sure the ship of State will be steered clear of all breakers. It will perhaps he interesting to some of our readers to read a portion of the sketch of Major Leitner, the Secretary 1 of State, as he is a native of Fairfield: Major W. Z. Leitner was born on the 23rd of September, 1829, about 1 four miles southwest of Winnsboro, in ' Fairfield county. His father was 1 George Leitner, a large and very in- , telligent planter of that county. Hav- ing received his preparatory education at Shirley's Institute, near his home, 1 he matriculated at the South Carolina < College in 1846, and was graduated in j 1849. Among his classmates were Judge Simonton, Gen. James Conner, Judge William Wallace, D. Wvatt ^ Aiken, Hon. J. P. Itichardson, and 1 other leading men of South Carolina, j Leaving college, he taught in Shirley's , Institute for three years, being the Latin and Greek tutor. He com- ( m- need the study of law in 18o2 in 1 the office of R. B. Boylston, of Winn6- j UftTTinri- r+fO f{ o f in j\j i auu wvvii ^iwviuttivu x *j j law in 1854, he commenced to practice in Winusboro, remaining there four years. On the 2nd of June, 1858, he married Miss Annie D. Dunlap, of Camden, to which place he moved, and ? has successfully practiced law there j sinco, taking a prominent position at :iie bar. 1 Major Leitner was warmly supported I oy the Fairtield delegation at the nominating convention in August. ' " ? - c The correspondence of the News v ind Courier from Washington says: a Speaker Carlisle and Representative t Morrison have arrived here for the winter, and in consequence there is a evival of the tariff question about the * lotel lobbies. Messrs. Carlisle aud i Morrison were together for a short j ;iine after their arrival, and after ex- a changing the usual courtesies had a )rief conversation about the probable L >rder ot' business in the House this I vintcr. Mr. Carlisle says an effort (. >honld be made to consider some legis- j. ation looking to a reform of the tariff, . )ut owing to the shortness of the ses- 11 ion it is doubtful whether anything in j C hat direction can be accomplished. ; Hr. Morrison is very sore over his de-; p eat and talks quite openly about the ! | neans resorted to by the Protectionists j " o st-cure his overthrow. He says his s arifl'bill will probably be reachedinthe e >rdinary run of business during the | c, oming session, and he will exert j T iimself to secure its consideration, j ieprcsentative Hewitt will be in Con- \ o frcss during the first month of the j g ession, and as he is anxious that! rj orae action should be taken on his j . dministrative features in the bill they rill pool their issues and work togeth- P r for the consideration of ihe Morri- 11 on bill. Mr. Morrison recognizes the n act that, to be successful, all factions . f the Democratic party in the House lC rill have to combine. He expresses P , doubt whether the Randall wing of n ?ii.,?.?ii ,n all the party will be willing to corae to such an understanding. He says it must not be forgotten that the approaching session is a short one anil many of the Randall Democrats may insist that all tariff legislation shall be shall be postponed until the Fiftieth Congress. Tiie London correspondent of the Xew York iStai\ commenting upon the fight against unjust rents by Irish tenants, says: The movement against unjust rents j is increasing hourly in the most re- I markable manner No combination of tenants before attempted ever approached this in the completeness of its success. There is scarcely an estate in Ireland, outside the rigidly Loyalist districts in the North and the places Iwlil n ^ I %? W UC1 U SCi. WtiiJCWi. nau pibiiuu?> t.v.vii effected, where the organization is not established and making rapid headway. Over three-fourths of the entire area of Ireland it bids fair before Christmas to embrace the occupies of tlie land with scarcely an exception. The movement is not confined to Catholic and Nationalist communities; it has extended to some of the Protestant and Loyali>t districts and estates where Catholic and Loyalist live side by side. The tenants have gone too far to recede. The landlords must give reasonable atabements of rent, or find arrayed against them the entire nation beyond the borders of the foreign colony, and a portion of their own followers. Other members of the National League are prepared to follow in the footsteps of Dillon and I O'Brien, and take their places when necessary in the anti-unjust rent movement. James Kellev is already acting as banker of the money of tenants of Roscommon. The attack on Dillon may be regarded aa insuring the acquittal of all agrarian prisoners to be tried at the coining assizes. The country understands the issue thoroughly and is often ahead of its leaders then lagging behind. Every hour the nation is becoming more ungovernable by the present Government; and recourse to coercive measures increase the difficulty enormously. As the breach grows wider, coercion will have to be more frequently resorted to and will assume severer lortns, involving sterner resistance. Thus the Government is plunging the whole coun try into disturbance and creating for itself a situation that will eud in breaking it to pieces, unless its present policy is reversed. The ministry, iti spite of its sudden show of vigor, is in reality miserably weak and vacillating, or would not be afraid to try what a concession programme could accomplish. But what can be expected of men who resolve to shelve Ireland and at the same time determine to demand the cloture and gag the Irish members? An Explanation Seeded. We learn from our exchanges that (Japt. J. 1j. latue, an acKnowiedgeu j Republican, has been appointed to aj clerkship in the Internal Bureau of. Revenue for the District of South: Carolina, and that Mr. W. McB. Sloan | was discharged to make room for his j appointment. The facts as we arcable to gather thein are about as fol- \ lows: Major Bradley, the -Collector, who I went into office by the appointment of; Mr. Cleveland to succeed Major Bray- j ton, the Republican Collector, found ; in his office Capt. J. L. Little, an acknowledged Republican of the deepest dye. He at oncc discharged him for reasons satisfactory to himself and the public and appointed Mr. \V. McB. Sloan to succeed him. On the 30ih November Major liraciiey requesteu Mr. Sloan to rcsisn. Mr. Sloan declined to accede to the request without reason? for his discharge, the on)v reasons having been given that he was engaged in other business, which virtually admits did not interfere with his business as deputy* collector. Mr. Sloan having declined, Major Bradley appointed Capt. Little to succeed him, aud virtually kicked Mr. Sloan out of the office. Public officials are always the subjects of legitimate criticism, and what we and thousands of other citizens of South Carolina are anxious to know is for Major Bradley to explain why he turned Capt. Little off, Tf fnr on-ffi/iloiif fMSfl!) tvh** hli llflS Lfc XV* OUmViVllt vwvv.j ? mmj -- ? ? . , been reinstated, an acknowledge Republican, and a good Democrat discharged to make a piace for him. "Was there no other Democrat competent to 511 the office? If Capt. Liitle was competent, and no other reason existed for his discharge except that he svas a Republican, why wa9 he discharged? If sufficient reasons existed for his discharge, why discharge a competent Democrat and reinstate Little? We want light, and the public lave a right to and do demand an explanation from Collector Bradelv. We Acknowledge that we are opposed to civil service reform root and branch, Mit the above is not & question in vol vng that subject. We want light. The Agricultural College. The bill to establish an Agricultural md Mechanical College in South Caroiua has just been made public, and he following: items are some of the ' )rovi?iont> included in the bill.J Section first provides for its cstab- j ishment under the name of the Agri- : :nltural and Mechanical College of : South Caroliua, its location to be here- J. iftcr determined. The first board of rassees is to consist of Messrs. Johnou Hagood, M. L. Donaldson, K. A. jove, E. L. River?, E. T. Stackhouse, < E. Davis, Allan Johnson, D. P. j Duncan Bud B. K. Tillman. They f nd their successors on the board of ] he South Carolina Agricultural De- ! mrtment shall locate and govern the College, and mar make such rules and j iv-laws as thev deem neccssarv. not | \ ^consistent with the laws of South I Carolina and the United States. The next few sections of the bill rovide for declaring it a corporate * ody, capable of holding property, 2 aing and being sned, the ability to Jj lect a secretary and providing for his ompensation, and that the State Yeasurer shall be ex-nfficio treasurer f the board of trustees. The Act I ives the board power to exercise all ights invested in them by virtue of y ic Act, and possesses them with all r ower necessary to accomplish the s ust imposed in them, the establish- n lent of the collegc, election of a pres- ? lent and board of professors, with fc ower ot removal, to subscribe and *j jgulate the course of iustructiou, and E npMnoaHnoiMMiHiiMHWMi provide for the books to be used with and by cot.sent of the professors. No student under the age of fifteen year.s will be admitted and he must possess a fair knowledge of arithine- i tic. grammar, geography. readins?. spelling" and penmanship. The course of study shall embrace English language aisd literature, mathematics ciril engineering, agricultural chemistry animal and vegetable anatomy j and physiology, veterinary art, ento-; mology, geology, and 6uch other natu- i ral pc-'cncoe as may be prescribed; technology, political, rural and house-! hold economy, horticulture, moral! philosophy, history, bookkeeping, and especially the application of science and the mechanic arts to agriculture in the 8eld. The professors shall be required tc lecture at farmers' institutes during the vacatiou under such rules and regulations as shall be pre-, scribed by the board of trustees. Other sections of the bill provide that every student of the College shall j labor at least one hour each day upon ' the farm. And in case occasion demands it the hours of labor maybe increased to not exceeding three hours . pur day at the discretion of the faculty. Tuition fees shall be charged in ' the College to such amount as the i board of trustees may deem proper, j but in no event more than forty dol-1 lars shall be charged. In case of sat- j isfactory proof of inability to pay the j trustees may admit pupils" free. The j rate of wages allowed to students for i their labor shall be determined by the i board, and when board is furnished it shall be at actual cost. Section 13 provides tliut^ the superintendent of the fanu, horticultural and other departments, and each of the professors, shall make a written and detailed report of the workings of their several departments annually to the president of the College, which said reports shall be kept ou file in the office of the secretary of the board of trustee?. Agricultural operations on the farm shall be carried on experimentally. Careful experiments shall be made annually of the field crops, in keeping, feeding and latteuing stock, and in the preparation and application of barnyardjand commercial manures, and a detailed account of them shall be published in the annual report of the board. The College shall serve also as an experimental station, making trial from time to time of hew vai;e- j ties of fruits, grains and vegetables'. I The reports shall contain an account of the management of all the several fields, pastures, orchards *and gardens of the College as designed by permanent names or numbers, and shall give an account of the preparation and enriching of the land, the planting, cultivation, harvesting and yield of the crops, and disposition of the same. The management of the stock, with a careful comparison of the eost of keeping, growth and profit of the several breeds kept on the farm; also an account of the students' labor* tpeciflu* ftimsnnf- iiRpri in pach of the several departments of the College, with other details, in 6uch a way that the reports as issued from yfe&r to year shf.ll contain a continuous history of the College, farm and garden. That one-half of the land scrip fund now appropriated to the South Carolina College shall he appropriated to the maintenance of the Agricultural College. All surplus arising from privilege tax on guano no* necessary for the Agricultural Department is appropriated in same manner, including all moneys received from phosphate roy ally over and above |200,000, and that the said board of trustees are authorized to commence the work of establishing said College wheu $50,000 shall have been accumulated as aforesaid. Section 17 relates to ftje place of location which shall be moat advantagous to the people of the State, due regard being paid to healthfuiness, and that ninety days' notice be given in at least three papers, the board will receive proposals from counties desiriug the said College iu its boundaries. The board is authorized to make a requisition on the superintendent of the penitentiary for any number of convicts not exceeding one hundred, such laber to be used iu construction i of said College. The foregoing, of course, is only an outline of the bill proposed. It has j many good feat ures, and if the proposed College can be established with- 1 out an increase of taxation, we liearti- J lv approve the bill and hope it will i pass.

It is a commo:: thing to be stopped on the sireet by a ii rsmnan and asked for a wcuusvu, wuiwu 10 wuuii twu uiiu u half cents of our money. These incidents are somewhat startling at first, and suggest highway robbery, but the appeal is made in such a humble, pitiiul tone that the feeling of alarm soon vanishes. "Forthe love of Jesus, Senor, give a poor sick man a centavo. I've had no Dread or coffee to-day." And receiving the pittance the beggar will ride off like a cowboy to the nearest drinking place. The national drink Is called cana (pronounced canyah), and is made of the fermented jmce of the sugar-cane. It coma ns about 90 percentalcohoi and is sold at two cents a goblet, so that a spree in Uruguay is within the reach of the poorest man.

The vestibule* of the tenement houses and the patois or courts which invariably furnish a cool loafing-place in the centre of each, are commonly paved with the knuckle-bones of sheep, arranged in fantastic designs like mosaic work. They always attract the attention of strangers, and it is a standing joke to tell the tender foot that they are the knuckle bones of human beings killed during the many revolutions. The ladies of Uruguay are considered to rank next to their sisters of Peru in beauty, and there is something about the atmosphere which gives their complexion a purity and clearness that are not elsewhere found. But when they reach maturity, like all Spanish ladies, they lose their grace and symmetry of form and become very stout, xnis is unaouDtecuy owing in a great degree to their lack of exercise, for they never walk, but spend their entire lives in a carriage or rocking-chair. ?[Chicago Inter Ocean. ??? A Dangerous GIrL In the country, not more than 15 miles from Modesto, resides a young lady who has developed into a perfect electric battery. The first evidence to that effect that the younc lady had, presented itself to heri few evenings ago. She was atout to retire, and extinguished the light in her room, and with a quick motion rolled back the bed covering, when lo, and behold! the bed immediately was turned into a sheet of fire. The young lady, much frightened, streamed " "Fir* i" and afc th? same time crabbed the bed covering in her arms. "When the other members of the family arrived at the door of the room they found her standing in the middle of the room in the midst of what seemed to be a flame of fire, but no sooner had . the bed clothes been taken from her arms than the flames disappeared. Experiments made by the young lady since have proved that she has become possessed of a vast amount of electricity, which shows itself at every opportunity. The young lady is not at all satisfied with the phenomenon, as it requires the greatest caution on her part to keep from starting up a small bonfire by the iiiiffhtMt mnvcmflnt of her haads.? [Modesto (Cal.) Bepublicam Pen Picture of an Eloquent Congressman. Mr. ? was the talking member of tho House of Representatives in the Forty-ninth Congress. The impulse to take the floor seemed to be irresistible to him. He made three speeches where any other member made one. There is nothing eloquent in Mr. 's appearance. His figure is stumpy, and a long-skirted frock coat doesn't improve tho outlines. A very fat la.co. which In repose is broadened by a grin, conveys the impression that Mr. may be a humorist.

Baked milk, a contemporary tells us, almost equals cream in richness, and will be found very beneGcial in all cases where nutritious diet is advisable. It will sometimes work wonders in consumptive people. The milk should be new, put into a stone jar, tied over, and 6et in a slow oven for some hours. If left in all night so much the better. A hot oven will have a different effect entirely; the slower the oven, the thicker the milk w.ll be. It may be taken just as it is, while warm, or if preferred, cold. It is better to bake small Quantities, not more than sufficient for each day's consumption. ? *? She Gave Her Flower to God.
