Wednesday, March 24, 187 * -THE CLAIMS BILL. *<V >T* Tiiia..l>ni for the payment amoi others of the fraudulent Lcgislati Piy Ossificates, after being veto by !tbe Governor, earae up again 1 cooaideratuni in tbo House of Ilepi serrtatrt^s last' week, when it w ruled by the Speker. that it bad : ready become a liw from the failu v *>f .the Governor to return it with ith-rco days. The matter was refern ;to the Judiciary Committee who fa od to agree, and the House by a vo i63 to 46 sustained the rulings of tl :Speaker. The facts and law a jtbesc Tbe bili was sent to Govern (Chamberlain for his signature < Thursday. The State Constitute .(Article 3, Section 22,) provides th "overy Bill or Joint Resolution whi< .shall have passed the General Assei bly,'except on a question of adjour mt>nt, shall, before it becomes a la' bo presented to the Governor, tii .if bo approve ho Khali sign it; if n< he shall return it, with bis objcctioi to the Ilouse in which it shall ha -originated." It is also provided th "if a Bill or Joint .Resolution shi not bo returned by tbo Govern ^within tbroo days after it shall ha been presented to him, Sundays e ocptod, iC shall have tho samo for ;*nd effect as if ho had signed it, u , kss the General Assembly, by th( adjournment, prevent its return, which caso it shall not bavo sui . force and effect unless returned wit . in two days after their next meeting Governor Chamberlain was alio ( eld* three days for considering the bi Tho three days (excluding Sunda oxpircd on Monday. But the Hou . adjourned on Thursday, and did n meet again until Tuesday. JNeith House was in session when the thr days expired; nor could the Gove nor have returned the bill to the Sc ate, had the -body been in session, f the reason that the Constitution mandatory in requiring that the b shall be returned to the house " which it shall have originated," whi< Houso in this case, was the House Representatives. The Governor d return the bill within three days the next meeting, but it was he that this did not satisfy the requii meats of the Constitution, which d not contemplate such an adjournme . or reccss as that referred to. T1 position seems to be an absurd ou nnrl rnnld nnlv bo taken bv men wl are playing a desperate game. T! validity of.tho Act will doubtle come up for adjudication by tl courts, and the interests of the Sta protected in the premises. Treasurer Cardozo Sustained. Tiie Address for the removal the Slate Treasurer, came up for co sidoration before the joint assembly the two Houses on Thursday las and after an elaborate defeuce by tl counsel of Mr. Cardozo? Messrs, < D. Melton, Leroy F. Youmans, ar W. D. Porter?occupying two daj the vote was taken on Saturdi morning, by the Senate and Houi respectively, and the address w defeated in the Senate by a voto 19 to 11, and in the House of 63 45. Thi<, we think, a very proper co r<ln<tinn of wIioIb. and wo do n see how an unprejudiced observe who reads tho statement of tl Treasurer, or the elaborate argumen of his counsel, can decide otherwie As to tho correctness of his motiv< as well as to the requirements of tl .law in respect to his action, tl Treasurer has found a gallant chat pion in the Governor, and has bo< fully sustained by the Conservati1 strength. Tho attack upon him w .douhtless prompted by those wl found in tho sturdy independence the TreaKuror the chief obstacle tho consummation of their schemes plunder.

' " ! .'V ;. j. i ?? ??* J tj LEGISLATIVE. 'H ~ The Legislature is still in session. ; the adjournment having been dc-j '|laycd by the trial of Treasurer 5. j Cardozo. It has been the longest ~ session since the reconstruction except that of 1869, which continued j until the 27th March, and has perv? haps as little to show for it, ns any L>(j other in the way of legislation. It y,. has been more remarkable for what e- it has left undone, that? for what it as has done. Some good laws have il- Deeil pusttisu, uut mauj muic iiavo re been defeated. i" No law has been passed for the election of Justices of the Peace, '1* as required by the Constitution, tc and recommended ."by the Govern10 or; the bill for reducing salaries 1C which would have saved one hundred thousand dollars annually to the State, has beeu defeated; and hi ' ' on the contrary the odious Claims at Act, has been passod, which together with other excessive appron priations, will swell the tax levy n- beyond that of the past year.? iv, Among other measures which failid ed and which the farming interests of the country seem imperatively le> to demand, was the bill punishing pe the selling of seed cotton after At > ' -J i--/ ? " aarK, ana oeiore uajuguu ^ Among the important measures or of the Session, are the following: ve . . . , . . x A joint resolution proposing an ce amendment of the Constitution, so n_ as to authorize the County Com i,. misoioners to levy the School tax in aud keep it in the couuty; also the ch bill to regulate the payment of h- claims against the County; bill to punish the fraudulent packing of w- cotton; bill for the relief of secuN* rities of official bonds; the Census bill, fixing the compensation at 5 cents a head; bill to reduce alli acts relating to the powers and duties of County Commissioners into one act and amend the 6ame. D. Among other important changes or the bill provides for a specific levy is of taxes for Couuty purposes, to ill wit: for roads, for the poor, for in public buildings and for fees <fcc.? The amount levied for each pur?f pose shall be kept for that purpose id only, provided if there be an excess iu any year for any purpose, 'd such excess may be used to pay any just claim against the county. After the disposal of the Cardont 1 . zo matter, a comptroller-general is e to be eiectea, ana me tax levy is 10 o be pased, ;vhich is still hanging 3e fire in the Senate. A bill to amend bs an act relating to the adminstrajc tion of derelict estates has passed; to bills to regulate the labor of con' victs in the Penitentiary and to amend the Lien law have been indefinitely postponed. New Hampshire and Connecticut Eleoof ^ The drawn battle in New Ilaiup^ shire has given some encouragei(j' ment to the Republicans, aud led them to believe that th^ "tida! ty wave" of last fall has spent its bc force, and that with renewed effort as they may succeed in carrying the of Connecticut election which comes to off on the 5th of April, and then be enabled to coQtrol the August, n* September, October and November 01 elections. In New Hampshire the ir' substantial fruits of victory are 10 with the Republicans, 6ince they will control the Legislature which ,8 meets in June, and elect a Repub3e' lican instead a Democratic Govern10 or, thuB reversing the result of laet n. year. The condition of parties is jn very different in the two States.? re The Democrats in Connecticut are as much stronger than in New llamp10 shire, where the parties have been ?f nearly balanced, and in the electo tions during the past two years, the Connecticut Democrats have carried the Governor's election by *1- ? i r* /? xL _1 7 pluralities or nve or six tnousauu | votes. Besides, tlie Republicans of )?J that State with the exception of General Haw ley, have endorsed r(! Grant, and will have the weight of of his third term to carry. The ;c, case was different in New Harap e shire, where they repudiated the a- third term and thus secured a parj tial victory. If Connecticut should ir_ be carried by the Republicans upon a Grant platform, it would furnish a strong incentive to the third ,c' term aspirations of the President. Grant's re-norainatiou, however, 11 r I seems to be conceded as a foregone conclusion, and there seems to be no doubt, both of his desire and )t ability to secure it. The Connec)n -iicut election will show what the JJ3 people think of it, nt nt Rev. F&othixuha.m has decided >n that there is no such country as ie hell. If there is no such plac?, 1{* where will (leli.pque.nt subscribers go ? ?. - + P> It is said with truth that a man Jr" may forget bis business, his family, is and all the sacred obligations of Uo life but he always remembers where he got his counterfeit bjll. 'Raw Bone Fhosphate Works in Abbe villa . Tbe town of Abbeville at nc distant day is bound to rani among the first towns of the State Her citizens are enterprising anc thrifty, and capitalists are seeking new chanuels for the investment o their surplus capital. Some of th< monied men here lend to theii poorer neighbors on accommoda ting terms, others invest in goodf and make advances at prontaDK rates to the impecunious planter* of the County, while a few bav< been gulled iuto lending theii money to the County for the prom ise of twenty per cent interest the sight v\hich principal or inter est would now delight the longing eyes of the doped lender beyonc degree. The latest enterprise how ever that any of our citizens hav< engaged in, is the collection ol bones preparatory to the establish ment of phosphate works in th< incorporate limits ot the town.? This work has becu "actively" go ing on for some time by our euer getic citizeus Messrs. Perrin & Hil and we are pleased to learn tha their efforts thus far have bcei quite successful. Their collectioi is already large and varied, and ii worthy of the notice of the scien tiet and the curious. So far thej have taken only whole skeletoni of the horse or mule variety of ani mals. Lesser bones they hav< deemed not expedient to put ir their collection as it is though ! that the phosphate in them woulc not be profitable. They are nov doing a "moving" business and thej hope to supply our planters wit! any reasonable quantity at mucl iess than the usual rates. Either o the principals or Mr. Richard Hill sometimes called "Boss'' for short will take pleasure in exhibiting their stock to customers, which u put up in raw hide sacks contaiuin^ from 300 to 500 pounds each. Theii sale department is in the rear o Mr. A. M. Hill's store. Arrest of an Editor. Something of a farco was cnactec by tho House of .Representatives or Friday last in tbo arrest of J. G Thomson, the editor of tho Union Jlcruld, for alleged contempt and vio lation of the privileges of the House The offending paragraph whicl evoked the storm, was as follows : ' "Wo publish to-day another vel< message. It will bo read overy where by honest people with appro bation. Tho plundorers, led by Les lie, were fall of wrath. Green, Hum btrt, Hamilton, Thomas, Keith, Gantt &c., wore oagor to exhibit the intens< indignation which filled their right eous souls, and ever and anon Lesli< would wander around to stir up th( unimals to renewed howls of aa^uisl and despair. No pack of jackal! scenting the carcass ever made night as hideous." The ground taken by the editor ir his defence, but which he was do prived of the opportunity of pre senting, was tlioirapregnablo one, thai the only offence for which ho coulc be made amenable to tho Lcgislatun would be "some contempt committee in the presence of tho si?id house, 01 of some disobedience oi tho order o: the said house, or breach of the priv ileges of some member or momberi thereof, either in presence or ont o tho nresonce of said house." Th< * House soon became convinced itsel: of the absurdity of the proceeding t?nd discharged the editor. It is tim< that Legislature bodies, as well m Judges, Bhould learn that their pow era aro limited, and that tbe liberty oi the citizens is protected by strong constitutional safeguards, and cannot be safely infringed, Blaine and Grant.?The rccen reception of Speaker Blaine ir Philadelphia, and nomiuation foi the Presidency by a Republican or ganization there has created sora( excitement in administration cir cles in "Washington, and has arous ed a bitter feeling in the Presiden and his friends against the Ex Speaker. Grant is said to charg< upon Blaine the defeat of hii whole revolutionary policy befon Congress, and to regard his hostili ty as a bid for the Presidency.? c* j.__ n ?L. 1. 1-. A senator i/uuieruii wuu uuimuia nit Republican party in Pennsylvanu however, keeps aloof from th< Blaine movement, and without hi: aid Blaine's chances there are hope less.

The Louisville Courier-Journal has a wo.I-considercd articlo in'reply to the j rabid utterances of some of the lead- m# k ;ogUepublicaD journals, which, whilst an( bolstering up the pn6t policy of thoir I party, seeks to keep alive tho section- pra ? al issaos, which they seom to regard ari( f as essential to its success. ldr ) Prominont among these is tho Bos- prc * Ion Advertiser, which attributes the s|jC . political, social and material depresj 8ion of the South, not to the polfey of ^ 5 Reconstruction which elevated ono ex( j race at tho expense of tho other, and e(jj 5 subjected both to tho domination of coc , tho carpct-bagger^ but to tho refusal j8 , oi tne ootter ciasacs to tako part in p8j tho work of reconstruction, and aid ' in keeping down tho spirit of law- ^ lessnesB and disorder. cot As our Louisville eontemporarj* lo well says, this comes with bad grace ijb, from men who proscribed tho representative men of the South, and even j overthrew the bogus governments ol mc Andrew Johuson becauso they were cat not radical enough. As emancipa- mc tion was a war measure to secure rer victory in the field, so universal suf- p0, frage soems to have been a party 0f measure, foisted upon tho people of Rj, tho South, by those who scrupled at q0 nothing and inaugurated "a ruio ana rac 3 ruin policy." Universal suffrage baa rac 1 brought unnumberod evils upon us, f0j 3 and if wo have been able to live ma " through them all, and to anticipate ca| i a brighter day, wo owe nothing to a8 3 the party which has nevor oxtended ecj - to us the olive branch, but almost mi 3 everything to that sober eecond ttni ! thought, which has repudiated the aB { policy of the party, and is now disj posed to extend tardy justice to the { ^ people of the South. T. The Cincinmti Commercial is inflam- th< ut ?Ka fnllnunnnr f>vt.rn.p.t. frnm Srtn. t.h* J v" ?" ?fc> ator Norwood's lato speech : sat "That war, sir, was fought on a on f principle. Its origin was in a differ, once of opinion on tbe right construetion of tbe Constitution. We of the ' South, honestly believing that rights cal j which we held were guaranteed by th< 3 that instrument could not uo prestrv- th< P cd in the Union, sought to secure on| ' them under another and independent r government. Wo struck no blow at f the existenco of the Federal Government, and so impartial history will ale pronounce its verdict. But wo all pj( know tho result. When tho war DQ closed we laid down our arms, went . . peaceably to our homes, and set to 101 work. Tho scene was sad beyond sal 1 thonoworof mortal nen to tell. Two err . billions or property in slaves had van- 8U| . ished in a night. More than another . ; billion had crumbled under the iron tread of war. Hundreds of millions ^hi more invested in Confederate bonds of \ were swept away in a breath. Mauy so* millions more of Confederate treasu3 ry notes perished in tho samo instant. f Besides all this, nearly every planter . was in debt, and his land, which in cit f k n mnin tnno nil t l\ n f u?n u IaPi r\ f* liic P #. . buo main nuo uii buttu u ao iviv vt ?io \s\j . estate, was covered by mortgage." ^n( , That journal admits tbat the state3 ment of the ruin which followed the 8tl. war is not overdrawn, and yet would tP J add insult to punishment, and is con- C(jj > tent with nothing, save a coufea- __ 3 sion that the poople of the South ^ wcro traitors and doserved to bo I hanged. Such is the policy of the party still, which only lately urged on the Force bill, and would yet resort to proscription and confiscation, if extreme measures of co ercion had not been ' repudiated by the sober good-senso of |tho country. The party has outlived its da}T, has accomplished its work, and now must give placo to anothor w> which better comprehends'the signs T of the times, and the necessities of " , the future. If the Democracy will only bo true to itself, and act with becoming moderation in the day of victory, it will bo able to chain sue- f| cess to its standards. -J ? lltt The Pt'cken* Sentinel says ho is rot ( ^ without tho hope of being relieved of ? his heathenish darkness by tho aid of tho proachcr, (how oncouraging this ^ must bo to tho minister,) and wants j to know if wo havo a similar hope. he As wo live in a christian community ^ in the blazing light of civilization we pr< think iD our caso tho 'similar hopo" th' has ended in fruition, but then, wo have , "A hope, a glorious hope," that a preacher may yet perform for ^ us an important office after we have induced some good man's daughter to wear a bridal veil. Wo admit, with yon, Mr. Sentinel, that you and we, although in quest of different blessings, look more or less to the came source. p Several large holes bavo been dug on the public square preparatory to setting out shade trees.

When au incompetent or igning officer attempts to forco or ,ort through fear from a newspaper tor the praise that only fair and npetcut officers are ontillod to, it simply monstrous. When a newsier editor can with impunity assail 1 official acts of the President of > United Statos, does it not appear itemptible in a potty State officer, attempt to deprive a citizen the urty of froo speech?
