* We publish elsewhere a short letter from
or eneeoed representative, Col. 8. 8. Cajrtkndbx,
new In Cplumbia. The priaoipal
measure* before the Legislature, bare been the
Ht btll, which has not yet passed both houses,
nod tbe election of United States Senator to
eueoecd Senator Satyer, aad tbe election of a
successor t? Judgo Melton. Tbe taa, State
and .County* *111 be fryut fifteen to seventeen
mills ao4 will no doubt be passed to-day.?
The election of J*. J. Pat tenon was the most
shameful proceeding that any Legislature,
howe'ter corrupt, could have been engaged In.
Roarfltlv Had ih? NMNik A/ tVn alaetlnw i-?
announced, when Patterson was arrested, en
the most positive testimony of bribery. Tho
v poople were led to bope for some reform on
the part of our law-makers, the Legislature
being composed largely of new men; bat this
hope is dissipated* by their first action, proving
(hat they are but little better tban their
predecessors. Mr. Patterson boasted of the
fact of buying up votes sufficient to secure his
mat in the United State* Senate. There wore
even candidates ; viz : J. J. Patterson, R.
B. Elliott, R. F. Graham. P. J. Moses, Sr.,
F. A. Sawyer, R. K. Scott and S. T. Pointer.
The Greenville delegation voted as follows:
T* Q. Donaldson, Esq , voted ior R. F. Grahan^A^ga
Moore and MeCullough for F.
and Messrs. Crit'enden and
A. Sawyer,
election ot Judge of the Fifth
Circuit, our delegation voted together supporting
Leroy F. Toumaos, E?q.
The Legislature will adjourn for the
Christinas holidays, but the time has not
been agreed upon by the two.bouses.
Confirmation.
Judge Orr has been confirmed as Ministcr
to Russia by the United States Senate. The
following comments of the Columbia Phvent'x
arc eminently proper:
"Hon. Jamss L. Orr has been conflimod
as Minister to the Court of Russia, and we
presume that his acceptance is a matter of
course. This Is one of the greaUst dia
tinetions which the Government has to
confer upon its tons, end has usually been
bestowal npon those who move in the
i.; i --i . - -
x.gur r r| HT?8 Ol Iftn'nl and Usefulness
Judge Orr has had long experience in political
life, and baa made hi* mark in the
political history of the eouotry. We believe
that he has aimed to arrve it faithfully.
While we have differed with him in
many thing*, we take pleasure in
bearing our testimony to hia patrs
iotiem, talents and integrity. We
are gratified at his appointment, and trust
that his sojourn abroad may be plcasnnt and
agreoablo. Wo havo to regret his departure
at the present crisis of affairs in this State.?
Wo shall very much miss his iufluencc and ef
forts in favor of good government hero."

Chester Again Burnt.
A destructive Are occurred io the
'own of Cheater, on Sunday morning
last, 15th iuat. About twelve of the
principal business men of the place
were burnt cut, causing a loss of $133,250,
upon which there was an insu
rancc ot only ?00,000. The principal
pari of the town ha* been destroyed.
The cauae of the fire is unknown.?
This i?v we believe, the third time the
place has been destroyed by fire Bince

Columbia Correspondence of the Enterprise.
Columbia, S. C., December 15th, 1872.
Mr. Editor?The past week has been rather
replete with matters of interest and excitement
In the legislative and politeal circles. Until
theeleotion on Tuesday, there was much doubt
as to who would fill the position of United
Statee Senator tor six years in the plaee of F.
A. Sawyer, whose terss expires the 1st of
March, prox. The Conservative members of
the Senate and House bald a caucus tbe night
before, and agreed in tbe first plans, not to
vote at aoy time for either Scott, Patterson,
I or Elliott, the then most prominent candidates.
I Secondly, to concentrate on either Chief Jus?
tiro Moses, F. A. Sawyer or Judge Graham,
as soon as any ons of them developed enough ^
of Republican strength united with oar vote
8
to win tbo election. This accounts for the ?
scattering rote of the Conserratiros on the o
fijst ballot, which was purposely done. As f
your readers know, it requires a majority of J'
all tbo votes enst in each houso to sccuro an ^
election. " Honest" John Patterson rtndica- ^
ted his reputation as a man of business, by si
polling on tho second ballot, a majority of one )'
in the Senate, and on the first ballot, a major- a
ity of two in the House, losing as yon see but ^
little ammunition. As is always the case, va* v
rious rotes wcro changed to him, and appear ,t
on the socond after tho abovo result was d
known, making his majority appear larger.? n
Various bills of publio interest, and some of
publio utility, amending the code and other
matters havo passed their three several read- ?
ings in eno branch of tho Legislature, but as si
none havo passed throe readings in both, it '
would bo premature to tiamo them yet, Tho n
tax levy has been the main matter of interest ?.
in legislation during the week, and tnnch dis- p
enssion had upon it in the house. The main ti
feature of the fcrll as you know, arc a lory of five d
mills for current expenses, two for education,
three mills for county purposes, and fire for *
dcOcicnces of the past fiscal year. The Con- c
servatives were united in their opposition to a
the section for doficicnccs, until all dcficicnccs o
of the past year wero itemized, and the levy 'j
mndo specifically to cover them. A proviso
was also introduced that certain claims of ae*
knowlcdgcd validity and prossing character, i|
should be the first paid from tho proceeds of h
said tax. On these grounds tho Conservatives '
voted almost solidly against the hill on its ?'
final passage in tho hou?c. It has now goae
?o Om i- ??- --
- ...... n.u lie up n 1 inai nuirj to- a
morrow. Senator Donaldson and tho other y
Conservative Senators will probably take
about the same position upon it, and endeavor "
to secure some guaranty that the proceeds of n
the deficiency levy shall not be paid out ex
cept on unquestionable claims. The danger n
is that most of the proceeds will be gobbled up ''
by tho huge printing claim (which is but a ''
balance) of $.125,COO and pay ccrtifioutcs (also *
a balance) of$230,000. A strong effort will be ?
made to baro both of these claims thoroughly it
investigated, but there is no telling what a c
South Carolina Legislature will do. No levy J
is proposed to pay interest on the public debt, 11
If Judge Orr resigns we will have to eleot a
Judtto fur the Eighth Circuit, during the pros- j
out session. Tho Oreenville delegation aro all -j
well and at tboir posts. Thus far the 34 Con- tl
servstivo members of tho House and Senate, ?
havo acted in perfect concert, on all matters
of importnnce. Both House* will adjuiirn U
from Friday the 20th, until the 7th of January J

and I presume is nearly completed. The

Richland creek, I was invited by the well (
known and clever engineer, Mr. Richard j,
Chatham to gst aboard, and go to the Sain- *

hall cannot spring up like a muehroom ; it
has to he gotten dp by eome one-?there are
obliged to be managers, and theae are generally
the most efficient pertona who can
be seleoted. Would euoh persona then be
likely to invite any who ought not to be
here? It Is preposterous I Cannot even
'Uncle Sam" see that the hall tnu$t ba a
well-conducted affair, or ladies will not atend
f Suppose a few persohs are present,
with whom some of the company are not in
he habit of associating, what hatra can be
lone by merely being in the same room
with such persons t Does not the same
.hing happen nl pio-nioe, and everywhere!
)nly the ball-room ha* this advantage?one
leed never recognise a ball-room acquatn,i>ncf.
"Uncle Sent,1* no doubt, approves <>f

>roper. Now, who oan deny that at a pioIto
there is often a much more promiscuous
issemblage, and vastly mors opportunity
or eontacl with improper persons! At a
lance, most of the time is taken up with
ianctng, the partners are changing con
itantly, and really very little time
a allowed fot conversation ; where-*
is, at a pic-nic, when two peo
>le get together, they often have to rensln
so for hours, no matter how diasgreeible
it may be to one of the party. Again,
firle gcnernlly occnpy themselves at pieties
screeching and screaming at the eight
if spiders and bugs, as if they had dclhinm
renieos; and at most to-called convertsion
(!) parties, the company engage in
nme ridiculous romping gnnte. nnd instead
if aoting like rational beings, they spend
in evening racing round and round the
ootn, like a party of lunatics. How mttch
nore sensible is dnm-ing, where the peodo
sre not only enjoying an agreeable exroisa
and recreation, bat behaving themelves
like ladies and gentlemen.
"In the second place, it is injrri<>us to

;o to one ball after Another, nnd thus be np
light after niaht: but is it ?i ?ll ut-i

ne would have so many ball* to go to f

part of a night occasionally devoted to

hr wti off, and a lighter textnre as-omed,"
slial of that ? It is u?t haU so dangerous
s sitting about at a pic-nie nil day, on the
lamp ground. 11 Unrhs Sam " surely has
ever danced, or ha would know that it is
very heating exercise. If a girl 's in pary
cos'utii", * he is perfectly safe, with pros
er precautions; the room* are generally
rann, the dancing keeps her so, and when

"Third, it lends to make one light mind
d." Is it Irtte that tins ia "universally ad
lilted ?" Persons are generally light-hem t>
d at a dance, just as they nre at a concert,
converssl ion parly, or any commonly rec
gniz d innocent place of amusement; and
he dancing at the one is merely the expres
inn of this, as laughing or romping may
e at the other. As to " the feverish exitenient
in the preparation for the dance,''
list it all hum'-tig. A young girl probably
?rls more of this "feverish excitement* bene
play ng at a concert, or even neting n*
deswomnn at a Church fnir, than ever heire
a ball. It ia tine, that "serious retlea

hominaM* and pernicious practice ?"
Light-minded," indeed I "Uncle Sam"

bought, that, he was made s > l>y that one
ueer assemblage which he reeina to have
ttended, as the irishman thought that he
ras bruised by sleeping on one feather, and
rood-red what would have become of him
ad he elept on a whole bedful I Ah, ' Un
le Sam," it was not the dance which made
ou so?you could not have been "aw
bese" at first.
Lastly, what does he mean hy " all the
issipstion of the ball-room," and eotnparng
it to *'ihe horrors of a drunkard's life?"
here is shout as much connection between
lie two, as between sn organ in a Church
nd a negro break down. "Uncle Sam,"
ain afraid you are a sad old fogy ; you
id not le iru to dance while you were
ouvg, and now it is ' sour grapes" with
ou. You know, it seems, the old saying,
you can't leech an old dog new tricks."?
'reliably you are not an oh), after all , but
ou don t know how lo dunce, and you hate
3 see your sweetheart going off t? dances
7ith your rival; you think they are giving
im the "ins de track" on yon. Or, maybe,
ou are how legged, and it is not beewnng
to yon to "trip it on the light fantastic,"
but you should not let your mimt be warpd,
ou that account, afs<> ) I dare say, you
hinlt, though, "all's fair in love and war."
Tee, it is plain "Uncle Sam" la tn tavor of a
in ion; hut methinks he lakes rather a
ound about road to it, in assailing dancing
-his aim is as crooked as his legs.
Hut, in all seriousness, young people
oust have some smusement, and where can
i more harmless, agreeable, and even benficial
one he found than dancing t So far

As a remedy for Dronchial Affections and '
Chronic diseases of the Lungs, nothing ever '
betoro discovered equals Dr. Pierce's (J olden
Medical Discovery.
The Culture of the Hair.? Just as sitrely as
n soil infested with Canadian thistles can bo
made to produce iino crops of golden grain, the >
scalp now sparsely covered with harsh, dry, j
unmanageable hair can be made prolific- of '
silken tresses. All that is necessary to effect 1
the change is tbe right kind of fertiliser.? I
Leaving the agricultural chemist to determine ' |
how the barren lands shall be made fruitful, wo |
positively assert that Lyon's Kathairon is unequaled
as a fertiliser and beautificr of the 1
hair. Tweoly Ave years of success is the basis 1
of this unqualified statement. During that
time it bas been used by many millions of j
both sexes, ar.d tbe first instance in which it
has failed to fulfil the expectations of a rational
purchaser has yet to be discovered. It will 1
not cause hair to grow on a varnished gourd ;
but wherover the roots of hirsute fibres remain <
undisturbed tt wilt cause them to put forth new
shoots, and in all cases where the hair has become
thin it will increase its volume. ,
Correct the Stomach.
It is a well ascertained physiological faet
that the origin of most of the ills that afflict
humanity is a deranged condition of the alimentary
canal. The bowels become constipated
and sluggish, und tbence arises a traiu of
painful and distressing maladies. As a preventive
and cure, tboro is no remedy so safe
and sure as Dr. Tutt's Vegetable Liver Pills.

W. ?. Tun :
Dear Sir?I have been an In/alid for flvo
years, and have with fortitudo and patience i
tried nearly every patent medicine known to
tbo people without any effectual relief. It was
suggested by some of my friends to tuko your
Vegetable Pills, for which I am under obligations
for said saggostion. It being a favorable
one, I propose to stato the effects. I weigh
more than I ever did, and mr health is far bet
ter than it bun been iu five years. I certainly
give all tbo credit to your Pills; and as soon
as there is an increase in the family, you may

The Hnm&n Body, its Waste and
Repair.
The body is undergoing continual waste,
both in the voluntary processes of labor and
action generally (mental as woll us physically)
and also in the involuntary processes (respiration
for example.) This waste must be repa
i rod by the blood, as it continually circulates
and corn us into eontaot with the various portions
of the system ; and the losses of the
blood must be supplied from food. As tbo material
of tho body is derived from the substance
of the food, so nil vital power is derived from
force stored up in the food. Pood is organio
matter in a state of molecular tension ; and
when, in digestion, it becomes decomposed,
this tension is given out in the form of physical
forces, such as muscular power, animal
heat and the like. Every thought that we
think, every breath that we draw, avery slighteat
motion or gesture that we make, wears
away the organised tissues to some extent. In
a healthy condition this waste produces a prop<
rtionatn degree of appetite and digestive
vigour. But in imperfect health it is not so.
Eithor the appetite is deficient, or the forees of
tho digestive organs are not adequate to convert
into nutritious blood that amount of food
which the appetite craves. Now Dr. Piseh's
Bitteis is a tonic and stimulant adapted by its j
ingredients to create an agreeable appetite, I
and also in like degree to stimulate the dlges-1
ttve power*. When this mnoh ii accomplished,
end the system onee put in the way 0f ap*
1>r?priating nourishment for iteelf, we nay
ook upon the eure aa already effected. Time
nd careful Bring will dojthe roat.
