The South, there is no denying the fee
is to the United States what Ireland is t
Great Britain. A threatened war shoul
have dictated a more generous action o
the part of Congress. In event of a de<
laration of war, can the Southern 8tat<
take part, from national pride, and from
patriotie desire to sustain national honor
Suffering undtr the ban of political oetrs

of the matter until next day, when votin|
on the resolution!, indefinitely postpone!
them. Although the Senatora from Bout!
Carolina oppoeed the amendment, yet tho;
voted for the amended bill. The telegrapl
incorrectly reported that they had vote

capital slock of the company is fixed a
12,600,000, in shares of one bundre<
dollars each, and it is provided that th<
incorporators may meet and organic
as a company when four hundred thou

The distance to Columbia would thei
be much shorter, and take in a seetioi
of country very deairable to pa*

without the sanction of two tliiids of the
voters of the State. Ten thousand dollars
re appropriated for expenses.
The Senate passed a bill to provide the
manner or conducting special elections, and
the amendment lo the constitution causing
the State and Federal elections to be held on
the same day.
The House adopted a resolution to ad.
journ on the 26th, subject to the call of the
speaker, who may convene the House In
special session upon the demand of a majority
of the inembera. . Picket.
Columbia, C February 13th.
The only feature of general interest in the
legislative proceedings, to-day, was I lie pus
sage to it third reading of the House bill to
relieve the State of its guarantee of lite
Dlue Ridge bonds, wlduh was accomplished
by a vote of 80 to 19, and is tqoivulenl to
its final piasige by the House, inasmuch as
tlie debate upon any measure is pratically
confined to its second roading, and thelbird
reading is purely a mailer of form. The
nature of its reception by the Senate ii still,
of course, a matter of doubt ; but that body
has shown in more cases than one its remarkable
facility for the sumersault business,
and there is no knowing after all but that
the bill may pass.
In the Senate, this morning, there was
also a little sensation in the shape of a pelitioi*
from various bond holders in New
York, praying for the acceptance of the
funding scheme, mentioned sometime ago in
this correspondence, as proposed by Mr.
Wesley, of the Union Trust Company, New
York. The petition was brought toColum
bia by Mr Wtsley, who is in town for a few
days looking after the interests of this device,
and ia as follows:
New York, January 81. 1872.
To the Honorable the Senate and Jlouee of
Jiepretenlativee of the State of South Carolina
:
The subscribers. your petitioners, owners
and representatives of owners of bonds of the
State of South Carolina respectfully pray
your honorable bodies to provide by law
for the funding and consolidation of the various
loans of your 8tate into a registered
stock, not to exceed the sum of ten millions
of dollars, with interest payable quarterly,
at and after the rate of six per cent, per annum
; and your petitioners are willing to
exchange the bonds of your Stale now held
or represented by them for such registered
stock at the ra'e of seventy-five per cent,
of the p*r vilue of said bonds; provided,
that in any law creating such registered
stock as prayed for by your petitioners there
shall be a provision made for a permanent
tax sufficient to pay the interest thereon
snd ereate a reasonable sinking fund therefor,
and also provide in the same statute
that the debt of your State shall not be further
increased, exeept by a vote in favor
thereof cast by a majority of the legal voters
of your State at any general election.
Thia petition ie signed by eighty-two
firms, corporations and individuals, of
whom the largest owners of stook have
claims varying from $60,000 to f 100,000.
The petition was offered by Senator
Na?h, referred without debate or comment
to the eommiltee on fioanoe, and ordered to
ha nrinted.
By Mr. Duvall, bill to provide for the
payment of jurors' and wllnesaU' tickets,
which provides that county treasurers be
required to pay jurors' and witnesses' tickets
on presentation out of any moneys in
their hands, and to receive such tickets in
payment of county taxes.
The report of the present land commissioners,
Senator H. K. Hayne, hns also
msde its appearance, and a careful perusal
of its eighty pagea will tend to prove the
truth of that gentlemen's recent remark
opon the floor of the Senate that he had
stolen nolhiug while in office heoeoec his
predecessors had left nothing to steal. All
of whioh ia suggestive of a elever cartoon
by Naet, daring the recent Tammany troubles
In New York, In which the four chief
braves of that tribe were pictured ss stand

linger of ecoro aod obloquy to bla left hand

that there have been wind lee. The predecessor
of DeLarge wm Leslie, and now the
question comes, what would Leslie have to
say il he were asked who had committed
the swindles in the office of the land com*
toissioner?
In the House to-day the proceedings, outside
of the passage of the Blue Ridge bill,
were exceedingly uninteresting. The only
new measure of any importance was the
introduction by Oreen of a bill to compel
attendance at eohool of children between
the eges of six and sixteen years, which provides
that every parent, guardian or other
person having children between the ages of
six and sixLen in their employ or charge
shall send such children to school for a period
of at least four consecutive months in
each year. Noncompliance with this act
is declared a erime, and is made punishaole
with fifty dollars fine and thirty days' imprisonment,
or thirty days' labor on the
public roads. Picket.

A Triumph
No medicine erer offered to the people has
won for itself such n reputation in so short a
time, as Dr. TUTT'S EXPECTORANT.?
Wherever it has been introduced, it has superceded
all other Cough remedies. It not only
cures the Cough, but so thoroughly purifies the
Lungs, that no fears of its return need be apprehended,
Memphis, Fobrunry 11, 18ft9.
Dr. Wm. 77. Tutt :
Sir?I have been suffering for nearly two
years with a severe cough and great difficulty
ol breathing. My weight was one hundrod
and forty-five pounds; and when I commenced
taking your Expectorant, I was reduced to
oni hundred and sixteen. X had tried almost
everything ; bad terrible night sweats. I hare
taken bait dosen bottles. The night sweats
have loft me, the cough has almost disappeared,
and I have gained fifteen pounds in weight.
I believe it will cure my cough. I recommend
it to all my friends. OLIVER RICE.
Dr. Tutt'a Hair Dye ia the Best in Use.
Rk-ANIUATIxq thb Hair.?When the hair
ceases to draw trom the scalp the natural lubricant
which is its sustenance, its vitality is,
as it were, suspended, and if not promptly attended
to, baldness will be the oertaiu result.
The one sure method of avoiding such an un
pleasant catastrophe is to use Lyon's KatiiaiRon,
which, when well rubbed in the sculp,
will speedily re-animate the hair and prevent
it from falling out. Besides that, this inimitable
rcsuscltant and strengthener of the Hair
nourishes and stimulates its young and tender
fibers, removes all obstacles to their growth in
the shape ot dandruff and dirt, and ultimately
produces a new crop of hair, stronger, flossier,
and twioo as abundant, as tbo old. As ? bail
dressing it is notably the most agroeatde, refreshing
and serviceable articlo ever placed
upon a dressing table.

The Philosophy of Tonio Stimulants
Some substances bnve the power of influencing
the chnnge* which go forward in the humnn
tissue*, without themselves taking any
integral part in those changes. Salt, for instance,
hastens transformation and waste, and
consequently creato* the necessity for a more
liberal diet; while, on the other hand, alcohol
retard* change and waste. On this principle,
Dr. Fisch, in his Bitters, has funished a preparation
having nmong other properties that
, of preserving both the materials and the for,
C3S of the system, and in this, as in other
things, " A penny saved is a penny goined."
But it is not only in this negativo way that
Dr. Fisch's remedy works for the building up
of the physical man. While it holds back
the wasting processes, it spurs forward the
repairing processes. It promotes the flow of
the alimcnlative juices in the mouth, the stomach,
and the liver , and thus enables the system
to utilise more food?to mako more blood.
The scriptural assertion that " The blood
thereof is the life thereof," is the expression of
a physiological fact ; and the amount ol food
i which a man can eat with relish, and digest,
, affords the exact measure and index of tho
man's strength. And when once Dr. Fisch's
remedy has given the start to an improvement
in this direction, the unaided energies of nnture
take up the work and carry it forward ;
and thus render tho amelioration permanent.
