Death of an Satlmable lady.
Oar City hao bwo called on daring th?
part weak, to mourn the death af ooa of
Ita moat eatiroabla ladies. Mr*. Oowaa,
wlfa of Tbomas O. down, Esq, died al bar
raatdenca, an Waahingtoa Street, last
Thursday morning, 28th alt., after an ill
neas of saesral days. Mrs. Oowaa was a
good woman In all the walks of life, and
her plaOa in the household, in the church,
and in society, will not ba easily filled.?
liar funeral was preached in the Presbyterls
an Chnroh, on Friday, at 11 o'clock, A M, by
Dr. Wilms* Wiluaiis, (Dr. Bum, the pastor,
being abseot from the City.) attended
by mamy sorrowing friends and relatives,
nd her remains were deposited In the
? ? ? .i .
Death of Son. Horace Greeley.
Mr. Grbblbt died at hie home, at half past
six o'clock, on Friday* S9th ult., and was
conscious at tho time of his death. While the
excitement of the late Presidential eleetion
was at its greatest foroe, Mr. QbbbLbt was
submerged in sorrow by the oalling away of
his wife to whom he was c&rotedly attached,
and by whose sick and dying bedside he
had spent many weary nights, In watohing
over her, which no doubt greatly impaired bis
health, from which he became an easy prey to
the grim monster. And now, before the fass and
fury of the late campaign is out of sight, one
of the prinoipal actors is called to his last reward.
The loos of his life long companion, togothor
with the disastrous resultsof the aotim
contest through whioh he had just passed,
proved too great a strain npon him.
Mr. Grbklbt was strong in his convictions,
and ardent and powerful in his advocacy of
them. His great aim was to benefit his fellowcountrymen,
the laboring classes especially |
did bo desire to elevate; and exerted a greater
influence than any other man in the country
to abolish the institution of slavery, upon
which he warred with uncommon aeal. His
magnanimous course towards the South,
since the war, will forever endear his name
to the people of the Southern States. Tbua
closes the eventful career of an eventful and
remarkable man.
Tho Legislature?Governor's Message.
The L..a.slature of this Stato met in Columbia,
on Tuesday 26th ult. Both Senate and
House had -quorums. Tho former was called
to order by the last President, as Mr. Gleaves
the Lieutenant-Governor elect, was absent on
account of sickness; and Mr. S. A. Swails
was elected president of Senate, until Mr.
Glcavcs should appear and qualify. The
other officers of the body were then elected.
After the calling of the House of Represent**
tires to order by the noting clerk, A.O. Jones,
an election was entered for Speaker and S. J.
Lee of Aiken County was elected. The other
officers were thon elected. After transacting
a small aiujut of business, both houses adjourned
over to Monday, 2d December.
Doth branches of tho Legislature havo ta- ,
ken initiatory moasures of reform, the Senate ,
restructing its number of attaches to fifteen, ,
and the House to twenty-four. This action up.on
the vestibule of ths session, forebodes well
and we rejoice at so auspicious a prognostics- :
t ion.
The Republican party of this State, now that
they have entered upon another lease of power,
owe it alike to their organization and to ,
the Stato, to follow up theso reform movements
by others, until they will reach through ,
the entiro channels of the government. What
is wanted in South Carolina, just uow is good
government, honestly administered, economically
sustained. Honest Republicanism we
will hail with delight, under the present con*
dition of things; for honesty, simple bonesty,
will give us that healthful condition of
State finances without which it is difficult for
any people to prosper and thrive, no matter
how industrious and economical they may be.
Let the present members adopt as their watch- 1
word, No more bribery, no more corruption, I
no more gelling of votos, no more validating <
bills, or Dlue llidgo bills, eto., etc. Wo shall ]
watch the proceedings earnestly and will daro |
to be hopeful. j
On Monday, 2d inst.. Governor Scott sent ,
in his last message, or valodictory. The tenor j
of it, is to state bis reasons far the condition (
of the State, say an affectionate farewell, and r
to rotirc. He gives himself some trouble to j
abow tho opposite party is largely to blame
tor the terrible fix we are in.
The correspondent of the Charleston 1
Courier, under date of the 26lh ult., say?
in regard to the poliey of the new officers '
of our Slate Government: "The corres- 8
pondent of the Courier, to-day had an in* 1
terview with a leading member of the in- s
coming administration, the subject of which '
was the proposed financial policy of the 1
new government. ' The most important r
question,' said my informant, ' is the ques- 1
tion of taxation. I don't think that the a
people can expect a leas tax than that at- 11
tempted to be levied by Mr. Neagle. The r
Legislature will, as eirly in the session as '
possible, pass an Act to levy a tax for the ''
year, and the levy will probably be abont 1
twelve mills independent of the County tax. *
This tax, however, will be for the purpose *
of paying the exponas* of the State Gov 1
eminent/ He also stated positively that no 1
tax for ioterest on the debt woul 1 be lev- n
led at all ; that the administration proposed 1
to leave out the debt altogether, until a c
commission, composed of gentlemen cot io
any way connected with the Government,
or owning bond*, could ascertain what
n
bond* were fraudulent and what valid."
c
Two Oood Officers Re-elected.
It affords as much pleasure to read in tbe b
proceedings of the Legislature, that two most H
efficient officers of tbe last session have been ^
re-elected, vis: Mr. Josapuua Woodhuff,
Clerk of tbe Sonate, and Mr. A. O. Joneh,
Clerk of the House. We have been more ot r
less intimate with Mr. Woodruff, and know g
him to. ho not only un efficient officer, but a n
pleasant and agreeable gentleman. Mr. ;
Joaks, a colored man, has also discharged bis t
official duties with great aceeptableness, as f
far as we are concerned, and this is bis gene- j
ral reputation with all whose opinions we a
know. Iloth Houses hare done well In regain- j
ing them. n
Meeting of the Agriewllnrn', and Mechanical
Society.?We are requested to state that tbe
stockholders and subscribers to the Oreenville ''
Agricultural and Mechanical Society, will C
meet in the Court House, on Saturday, Uth f
inst., for the purpose of organising ac.d elect- l
jtf officers. A full attendance of Ibo rarm- ,
bcrs is desired, | y
ly criticised by the people, who My that
he hue cattmed to ^create a Legielatare
where, for want of a quorum, ooue existed
before. Mnch excitement exiete, but the
Legislature at the Capitol having, in both
branehea, been called to order by officers
and means provided by the Constitution of
the State, and being composed only of men
holding regular certificates of election, and
having been offieiaily recognised by Got.
Lindeay, who waa Governor of Alabama
when the Legielature nanrmbled. and who
sent hia meeaage to and approved billapasted
by them, are determined to hold their
organ:satioo, relyiug on the regularity and
legality of their course, and the sense of
justice of the Federal Government."
On the 29lh uit.. Gov. I.awia replied, in
answer to a committee . from the Legislature
in the Capitol, that two bodies claim
bis recognition ; that the members of the
other received a msjority of the votes cast,
and that he could not recognize the Capitol
Legielature, because, if the persons who, he
said, did not receive a majority were included,the
body would be without a quorum.
We hope these difficulties will be promptly
settled; as now, above all things cine,
the Biatrs of the Month want barraoay nod
quiet within their borders.
Congress-?President's M easage.
Congress met on Mondey last, and th^ President
sent in his message tlio same day, a
synopsis of which is published. In alluding
to matters pertaining to the South, referring
to the Ku Eluz outrages, the President ex>>
presses his conviction, that the time is not far
distant when the obvious advantages of good
order and peace will induce an abandonment
of all such combinations, and when it will be
unnossary to carry on prosecutions, or to indict
punishment in order to protect eitir.ens
from lawless doings of such combinations.
The President says that various enterprises
will he brought to the attention of Cougrcss for
ido cheapening of transportion of produce
from the West and Atlantic sea cost, and suggests
that steps should be taken to gain all
svailablo Information to ensure equitable and
judicious legislation. In this connection he
refers favorably to the proposed route to conacct
the Mississippi valley with the Atlantic
it Charleston and Savannah, by way of the
Jhio and Tennessee rivers; also, to the proposed
extension of the Kanawha and James
[liver canal and tho Chesapeake and Ohio
ranal, and to the proposed canal around Niag-a
Falls. lie says that there should be an alnost
continuous system of land-locked navi?ation
from Maine to the Qulf of Mexico, naN
ure having provided a greater part of the
'outo, and the obstacles to bo overcomo being
vithin tho skill of engineers.
Moore's Southern Business Universitt
We call attention elsewhere to the adverisement
of Prof. B. F. Moore, who conlucts
the above institution at Atlanta, Ga.
> rt'uuui* visii. mere, we nad the
pleasure of meeting him and of forming his
icquaintance, and we know that a gentle*

conducts his University with
inecess alike to his pupils and to hitn?e!f ?
[V> yonng men who propose engaging in
>ook?keeping, or in any mercantile business,
>r hanking, this University offers superior
ndueerocDts, especially to young men of
louth Carolina. It is preferable even to
Baltimore, whitber a good many from this
lection have been going, as it is next to
>eing at home when in the State of Geor'
;ia, this is eminently true of Atlanta. Mr
ilooRK, the President, is well known in
>usin*ss circles as a first class, business
nan, thoroughly posted and a fine instrucor.
He employs the services of five assist,
mis in the different departments. The ns.
isl time required to instruct students is three
nontha, and a life scholarship, which gives
h? student the privilege of attending as
ong as he desires, only eoats sixty dollars.
The University was founded in 1888, and is
n a flourishing condition, being patronized
ty the sons of the best business n en of At-,

there, the Iteptblieene soeoeeded is

in hoCh hooM. According to (heir
new eonstitulion, if we understand it
aright, a bare majority will pees any mensure
over the Governor's veto, therefore the
Conservatives having that majority, ean
control all their legislation. The Republicans
knowing how matters stood, at the
time of the regular opening of the session,
organised a legislature of their own. and bv
Admitting to their body aueh men of (heir

fess that we were altogether gratified with
what we saw, baing pleased with the inetruo*
tion afforded there to the young men. Indeed,
we doubt if a better one exists North or
Booth. Young men in attendance upon this
institution, are taught, by positive practical
experience, all of the routine of duties ever demanded
by the most successful merchandising

single end double entry purchase end sell goods

Colombia Correspondence of th8 En
terprise.
Columbia, S. C., Movembor 27,1872.
d/r, Editor?On Mondny, 25th inst., Messrs.
Donaldson, Qoodwin, Moore, and myself, took
tho cars at. Urcenville, to attend tbo annual
meeting of the State Legislature. Wo were j
joined at Honoa Path by Col. McCullougb, |
which made tho delegation from our County
ooraplcto. Along tho route, other members ,
continued to get on board, together with the 1
usual throng, mostly colored, who annually
attend the meetings of the Legislature, seek- '
ing subordinate appointments and pay for
imaginary services to thnt body. The csrs
| were crowded, nr.d it was after dark when we
reached Columbia. Our delegation, with Col.
R. E. Bowcn, the rcprcsoutaiivo from Pickens,
and sovurai other Conservative members, arc
oomfbrtubly located at the Tlcndrix House.?
On tho night of onr arrival, we attended acaucu8
of members of the House, when S. J. Leo,
A. 0. Jones and Williams, were respectively
nominated for Speaker, Clerk, and Ser- I
geaut-ut-Arms. On Tuesday, ut 12, M., the
House was called to order, hy A. O. Jones, the
old Clerk, and proceeded to orgnnizo by electing
tho above nominees ns permanent officers.
The Conservatives number 24 out of 121 in
the Houso, and 8 out of 82 in tho Senate.?
They made no nominations for officers of cithor
house, but voted with the majority, making
the elections unanimous. Various resolutions
were offered, and speeches uiadc, on
Tuesday, with regard to limiting the number j
of attacboes, and the number of committee j
rooms to be ronfod. The spoeches were from
both sides cf the house, and nil favored retrenchment
and reform, tnoro or less. No defi- j
nite action oi* these matters was taken, until
Wednesday, when wo succeeded in limiting
the number of employees to 21, and instructed
tho 8ergeaat*at* Arms to report the number to ]
tho House before renting the enmmittoe rooms. |
Both of these matters were great abuses in the
last Legislature, end it augurs well that re.!
form lias been instituted in them. Indeed,
the temper of both the House and Senate
would seem to bo all one could desire at present
with regard to economy and retrenchment.
I only hope it may continue so, when the corrupting
influences of lobbying rings and political
speculators are brought to bear upon
them. Four-fifths of the House arc new members,
and a majority of the Senators are also j
elected for the first timo. Much cordiality j
was exhibited by the old members of all pnrtics,
who were rc-elccted, when they first met
each other in the hall. So far, the cry lor ro- |
torm comes up from all qunrtcrs, and from all
parties. Even the colored prcucher, who
opened the proceedings with prayer on the j
first day, prayed most devoutly that Qod
would make our new Governor a man arter His
own heart;" and deliver our legislators from j
all bribery." To this one of our new members
from Greenville, Col. Met! , audibly re- I
sponded, " Amen." In the Senate, they have !
reduced the number of employees to 15, and by t
resolution dispensed with tbesorviccs of a paid
chaplain. Gov. Seott is quite sick, and could
not send in his message until Wednesday.
Thursday was thanksgiving day, and as Friday
(hangsman's day) was a bad day to inaugurate
a new Governor, both tho Senate and
House adjourned until Monday. It it devoutly
to be wished they will then go to work in earnest,
and make the session as short as possible.
It is unfortunate that the corrupting influence
of a Senatorial election (which takos place on 1
Tuesday week,) will so soon be brought to |
bear on the new (or old) members who have
cotno up with such good resolves. Patterson,
Scott and Elliott arc all the candidates yet ,
declared. Rumor suys the first two proolaim
that members may uatne their own figures as
the price of votes. Yours truly,

Charleston, S. C., Nov. 26th.
Mr. EJit?r : The City ol Charleston, "The
City by the Sea," ia all quiet, and a reason-,
able business ia being done. The merchants
have done thia year a very fine holiness;
hut Ilayne Street and lbs Bay are now doing
little hut filling orders. King Street
is all alive with shoppers, and there is much
here to lead the mind to enquire, " Is
Charleston progressing or stationary ?" iti*
certainly not receding and losing ground,
unlets relatively. In some respects Us
progres^has been decisive and clear, but
then other interestn lanquieh.
Tlie new City Council have done much
to save it from the ruin which threatened
it under the .Radical administration. It
has given confidence and security to nil
here, and preserved it from demoralization- ;
It is delightful to walk the atrceU, everything
and person is so orderly. ,
The Rev R W Mmiminger, minister of

chapters: 1st. The Church ; 2d. Socialism ;
8d. Christianity and Esthetics; 4th. The
Pulpit; 5ih Universalism and Calvinism;
flth. Civilization and Devil Worship. It is
very profound, philosophic and Catholic.?

The Last Plea for LaborTha
el-ciion far County officers is over,
and I can now put in a plea for labor. If
I oan in any way enoourage the mechanics
to think tlint they are (he backbone and
capital of the country, and that their position
in society it as good as any class of
men on the face of the green earth, I shall
have accomplished all I started out to do.
I hoard a would-be aristocratic lady say,
i "Ha is only a raeohanic I" It was applied
as a term of reproaoh and contempt. If
sha will but think, she will soon see what
machanio* have done for the world?the
jewelry that ehe wears and worships ; those
silks and lacs, bonnets and chignons that
she feels neoess.iry to her existence; that
powder, paint and false teeth that you cheat
the world with; that mirorthat you wore
.ship before; that picture of your beautiful
self, you gaze on so admiringly, nod all the
artificial appurtenances that so largely constitute
yoOr * make up"?all of these are
the p oduotions of mechanics.
But they have done no'der work for the
world than this They have moulded the
ploughshare end shaped the aword ; they
i...... ii.. ~r ? i
war; they have ninde the world what it is1
Newton, wlio filled with glorious splendor '
liie liironeof science; Milton, from whose
: lips poured the tide of poetical inspiration ; '
1 Hetscheli, who placed nr.other star in the
^ canopy of the heavens ; Shnkerpeare, na* r
, tore's sweet est child ; Franklin, who snatch* I
j r-d the forked lightning from its eternal I
home, and placed it at man's disposal, and
Morse, who taught it how to > peak our
I tongue; Fulton, who made palaces walk 1
the waters like a think ot life; Walts, who
gave the iron horse his fiery breath and lo i
comotion?all of these are indebted to mechanics
for their glorious renown, and hut i
for their aid could never have achieved lite 1
success they did, nor could they have made '
them known to the world. ,
The military men of fame were as depen
dent on the mechanic for their success as
those in peaceable nnd scientific pursuits.?
IIow could Alexander, Cassar, Nop leon or
Washington have ever achieved a victory,
had not the mechanic placed the instru*
mcnt of war in the hands of their soldiers?
They reared the mills that grind out the
stnflT of life; and every church nnd palace,
whose shining spire tends upwards until its
glittering point seems like a star on the
sombre night, see his handiwork ; and the
proud argosy that banters with the mad* I
create I wave, end hears the commerce of '
nations, receive its shape, beauty and stability
from tli-- mechanic.
In short, young lady, your own mansion i
and its glittering furniture, and nil that
makes it beautiful ami attractive, was made
hy a mechanic. Everything thnt you use
in subsequent life will be furnished to you
hy the mechanic; and when your soul goes |
hack to Him who gave it, the mechanic ,
will make your case hear you to the grave, .
already prepared with instiuments lie
made ; and when your form shall cense to
? 1
walk among the haunts of men, will rear a
shaft ot marble above yout dust-ret uraing (
form, and thereon will neatly clds-1 the
name of one who looked with contempt up |
on a mechanic I
Y?>n who have labored hard all your 1
lives, it is timo you were making yourselves
comfortable. Old age is coming on, when
you must rest?buy you a little home, make
it comfortable?this ia your first duty.-?
Have some plaoe where you may begin to (
accumulate all the necessaries ol life ; furnish
your house by good books to read?
here is, often lim?s, more happine?s in a
logxcabin than in a splendid mansion ; "all
is not gold that glitters."
We me rnnklng ispld advancement ss a
manufacturing people. All the mechanics
lack, is a little more study, to carry out
their original designs. Many useful i'leas
have been grappled up by toreign mechanics,
on account of his superior education,
which enabled him to correct 8<>me minor
faults, and taking from you your mcdel,
thereby making himself rich fr?m your
Hard labor, in order to compete with them,
you mutt do more to cultivate the higher
order of mechnoiet You must let the sehool
end workshop go together. Guess work
must eventually give wsy to acienlifio
knowledge. Q K

Dancing
Mr. Editor i, There is, perhaps, no evil
more ooroittooly praclloed by all oIium of
loeiety, sod more pernicious in He effect*
,hnn dancing. I propose, therefore, to
give some reseont why it riiould not be
practiced.
I will remark, in the flrel place, that it is ,
degrading, both to the perron practicing it J
tod to society. This might at first seem to t
tie an untrue and unfounded statement; but '
when we remember thet in the dance, al' ^
si arses of eocicty mingle together, and that, |
lines the lower olaeaet cannot come up to l
the higher, the higher mutt come down to 1
the lower, we aee more truth in It than at j
Bret sight appear#. Young ladiea associate
with younir men in the dance, with whom
ihey would not dare to be eeen on the
street; and, according to iheruleaof the 1
danoe, they ere compelled to.do bo. And j
then, in the danoe, young Indies allow f
greater privileges to be taken by young
men than they would think of allowing io J
i he parlor?especially is this so in what it i
sailed the ''round danoe," or, more appro* J
priately, the "hugging danoe."
Nothing is more disgusting tha>) to see I
those, who call themselves ladle*, allowing j
young men to embrace tbem, as they do, in (
Lhe "hugging dance." To say I lie least o' ( i
it, it shows a woot of proper self-respeot. i |
In the second plaea, it is injurious to the |
health. Regularity in the hours of rising ?
and retiring is a necessary pre-requl*"le to 1
Lhe enjoyment of good health. But, at our .
modern dancing parties, this lew of nature i
is violated, and half, very often threefourths,
of the time that ought to be given
to sleep, is spent in dancing. And how of- r
ten ia it the oase, that a comfortable garment
worn through the winter's day, is j
thrown off at night und a lighter texture as 1
sunned, while the thermometer is balow z<t
ro ? Oan anything be more injudivial to (
good health than there? But this point ia *
so elear, we will dismiss it without saying
more, and hasten to our third remark: ?
That it tend* to make one light-minded.?
This ia almost universally admitted, botli
by the opponents and advocates of this '
abominable practice, and, therefore, needs '
very little to lie said about it The most (
thoughtless trifi r with Divine tilings,know ]
Lite hail-room to be a place pre-eminently '
without serious thought. So Well is this |
known t,hat it has become n fnvorita retreat 1
for those wishing to drive off such thoughts. !
Any one who will think for a moment how j
all the thoughts are engrossed in prepare- 1
lion for the gay assembly, what feverish
excitement while in it, when it is pas-el, |
how the hturt is sealed against serious re 1
flection, must acknowledge that a better
place for such a purpose could not he found, i
But all this may be admitted, and one plea 1
still remains. It may be said, that when
more privntely done, the evils ol dancing I
are avoided. I would ask, fs it *o done?
No matter how privately done, are not its
tendencies stir- ? It eeems to me, that ju-t
a? by partaking of a social glass, at home,
a taste fortltong drink is cultivated, which
end* in all the hoirorsof n diimkard's life,
so the private dancing parly cultivates a
la-te for dancing, which ends in ail the die
ii|-alion of the bull-ioom.

rhe Human Body, its Waste and
Repair.
Tho body is undergoing continu.il wntto.
ji/iu 111 iiiu vuiumary processes <>I moor ftlia
tclion generally (mental as well as physically)
ind also in iho involuntary processes (respiration
Tor example.) This waste must be repaired
by the blood, as it continually circulates
ind coioes into contact with tbe various portions
of ibe system ; and the losses of tho
Idood must be suppliod from food. As thu material
of the body is derived fr?m the substance
?f the food, so all vital power is derived from f
rorce stored up in tho food. Food is organio
matter in a stnto of molecular tension ; and /
nrhon, in digestion, it becomes decomposed, /
this tension is given out in tho form of pliysi- 7
?al forces, such as muscular power, animal
heat and tho tike. Every thought that wo
think, every breath that we draw, ever* slightest
motion or gesturo that wo tnako, wears
away the organised tissues to some extent. lu
it healthy condition this waste produces a pro*
pirtionate degree of appetite and digestivo
rigour. Hut in imperfect health it is not so.
Either the appetite is deficient, or tho forces of
the digestivo organs are not ndequato to con*
vert into nutritious blood thnt amount of food
which the appetite craves. Now Dr. Fisch's
I'ittets is a tonic nmi stimulant adapted by its
ingredients to create an agrecnt-lo appetite,
and also in liko degree to stimnlato the digestive
powers. When this much is accomplished.
and the system once put in the way of ap*
preprinting nourishment for itself, wo may
look upon the euro as nlrcadj* cffectoJ. Time
and careful living will do the rest.
