The Press and Banner A.bbeyille, S- C. Wednesday, March 24, 1875 '' - Veto of Oaims Act .r=r~ Governor Chamberlain .has vetoec the bill for paying the floating deb: of the State, and has-presented ir the nocompatiyiug message an admir abJe Btatcoient^pt^th^ reasons whict control bisection; in the premises. Ho states^thqt being convinced thai tone pljffc would be adopted, he tarn * ^d /|u&-, attention to securing on( /wbifcji-would afford tho best protec tiorr to t,Ue State and bo least burdenBome.#fWSey people, and with thai due advice and counsel, gave hws^cdnsent to a plan whiefc emlirMQ^fLrst, tho appointment bj the Govetu^r>.of a commission ol three, wi?b*j>6w?r to audit all claims of the ilussee inferred to, rejecting ic Ti'hole or in part any claim presented upon any grounds satisfactory' tc 4l"?' oQ/?rtrwl (!in net inn (if nil ifUUUJj OWWUU| tuv tvv*uw??v? v. ,?? claims thus approved by the comrnision to one-half of their nominal value, and third, the payment of the claims when thus reduced in four equal uunual installments." The bill was 60 modified in the General Assembly, as to deprive tbc Governor of the appointment of the commission, and apart from this the Legislature failed to carry out a policy^of retrenchment?these changes have brought about an entire change in the attitude of tho Governor. He says: "The supply bill for the present fiscal year has not reached me, but as it passed the House of Representatives, it provided for taxes amounting to eleven and seven-tenths mills on the dollar for general State purposes. Adding to this in most of the Counties, six mills for regular and special County taxes, and from one to three mills for local school taxes, we have an aggregate of taxation wholy without precedent, as it is without justification. To all this are yet to be added the taxes for town, village aud municipal purposes in some instances amounting to more than all the taxes for ;all other purposes. Nothing will induce me to contribute to swell this al ?? Ul~ M IWI^ luiuiciauic uu1ucu ui imauuv/u. Some of these claims are doubtless honest, bat the majority of them are the fraudulent Legislative certificates. "They are universally regarded," says tho Governor, "as the culminating evidence of a prevailing system of eorraption which has disgraced our Statq and offended the nation lie says ; "Since the regular session of the General Assembly for 1S70-71, the State had paid prior to the present session, on account of legislative expenses, the vast sum of $1,661,000. According to the registry already made by the Clerks of the two Houses unuerarec.mt resolution of the General Assembly, there are still outstanding claims of the classes embraced by the present Act to theainouut of $883,000, of which auiountover $50U,000 consists of claims for legislative expenses. Is there never to be an end to the payment of such expenses? Is the! fact that such claims are outside to be I successfully pleaded in justification for! their payment, without regard to the present ability of our people? I speak, therefore, with accuracy as well as with justice when I say that these claims, as a whole, do not constitute an obligation which the State is bound to recognize or liquidate until her honest and valid indebtedness and the annual expenses of her government have been fully met. Certainly they cannot with my consent, be made the occasion of a levy of taxes in addition to the unprecedent amount already levied for the present year. But, if I could overlook all other objects to the Act, there remains one object which would, under ? ?** nJ?/?nmofon/ifta fnrhlH mv annrnvMil OUJ UHV/UUiJWilvvg, iviuivt .MJ v.M. I of the Act. I mean the character as a j whole of the commission limned in the j Act. Upon this point I speak with re- j luctance which all just men will appreciate ; but I am a public officer, bound discharge an imperative public duty, and, while I speak with reluctance, I must speak with perfect plainness. The commission named does not, as a whole, command my confidence for the work assigned to it. I am equally confident it does not, as a whole, command the confidence of the public for that work. The duties required of the commission demand the highest chacacter for intelligence, honor and incorruptibility which the State can furnish. By no gfcult or agency Of mine I am forced to declare that, in my judgement, the commission named in the Act does not meet that demand. The amounts involved *re too great, the frauds believed to be involved in the claims to be examined j mlHA-onroofi onH rwirvoHintr thf> temptations to collusion and bribery are too powerful, to allow me to consent to placing these duties in the hands of any man whose circumstances and associations excite the faintest doubt of his inflexible determination to stand as an insurmountable barrier to the further advances of corruption and fraud." ? "We understand that a chess match played a few evenings since by the two gallant croquet champions, which resulted?as all encounters between the sexes not ri e*arm??, but where wit and will only are necessary, usually do?in a complete victory to the lady!

Wo could have told the result in advance, if wo bad boon asked to do so. We do not wonder that the crowned heads upon the checkered board would fight most valiantly for the fair commander ?rho handles tho pen with such grace *nd beauty. We aro only surprised that "Mallet" doos not propose to play a gamo at which two may win. Thk beautiful weatber lasc ounaay brought a large crowd of loafers to the publio square. Jack Gordon says he won't start po Africa for a year yet. That's bad on Abbevillo.

Although our friend Mr. G. A. Douglass by the ^ act does not hope to make a name 1 "more lasting than brass," he has opened at his own expense a new re1 ceptacle for the bleaching bones of nil iUn ntiiniolu ll'llicll lift t in neglected spots in and around the town of Abbeyillo. Mr. D, is not a believer in Darwinism, yet he has gone to great expense, in purchasing land for the purpose, and has now a number of men gathering up the ' bones of all deceased cattle for the object of having them removed to j. the now burial ground They will not be crowded together in great numbers but will bo placed in small I quantities at respectful distances from* oach other. Mr. Douglass is not i ablo at present to erect a monumental shaft of granite, to reach to shadowy heights, but will mark the several spots where they r#st by suitable posts and rails of durable timber, upon which Biiau irau uiu vines mut will shade the ground and furnish dolieiouw fruits to the wa3'faring man during tho summer. Many of our citizens will no doubt bo interested in this work, and will during the summer months pay frequent visits to this now city of the dead, and thus encourage a benevolent noighborin his labor of love. ? Ex-Preside.vt Jefferson Davis has wriften a letter recently io which hn the false rccort that dur jing the late war be favored a policy of 'general conflagration and indiscriminate slaughter." All that ho did urge was the iuvasion of the North, as a measure of defensive strategy, by whith the Federal armies might bo forced to withdraw into their own country.

The Emporium is keeping up its reputation as a splendid place for the ladies to get anything they may need. Tin: nogro who was arrested in Abbeville some timo back, by a Georgia detectivo, (in which arrest Messrs. i Norwood and llobertson took a prorainont part,) has been sentenced to twenty years on the chain gang in Georgia. m ^ The Orangeburg Ntwt and Tints has two editors and neither of them can give a legal receipt fur a subscription to that paper.

Farrow, 1 Brown and .Daniel. We cheerfully put it on our exchange list, as we have long wanted a Sparlauburg paper. It is a readable paper and contains a fine variety of selections and editorial matter. Success to it. Since tho editor of tho Greenville Newt has associated Phoebus with blackness, he seems to bo in constant communication with the gods. Paris Mountain, near the town of Greenville, is offered for sale. This was once tho homo of Gcu. Waddy Thomson. An abortionist in New York recently killed an accomplished actress in the practice of her profession upon Mrs. Anna J. Curtis. The murderess is in the 'loombs. If the Legislature can usurp the rights of tho people and clect a Comptroller-General, what may they not do? Wje aro much in neod of a little money juBt now. Reader, if you are a debtor, won't you relieve us? Ever so small an amount will help. Some of the young ladies of Abboville who have been absent for a while past, have returned. Mrs. T. C. Gower, of Greenville, has been quite sick, but is now convalescent. New fences are going up on various lots in town. _ J$?g&s-TJ N5? - . * -v^.--;v'-~? ?,Z~~"' The Savannah News says'.that Mr. McDapiel'^ act"to enable parties to waive and renounce the homestead, and exemptions. -pro vided by . law :haa been 1 signed by the Governor. -The aet pro vldes that It-shall ' be JawfulI for any head of a family, entitled by Jaw to a 1 homestead ^exemption,- to waive and renounce for a valuable consideration by writen mortgage or deed, intended to 1 have the effect of a mortgage, or coni veyed in favor of the debt or debts of any creditoror creditors, to secure which said mortgage or conveyance shall be executed and therein the person or per sons making such waiver, and any person applying in their behalf, or in behalf of any others claiming homestead or exemption through his or their title shall be estoped forever from setting up any claim for homestead or exemption or either of them, in any Court in the State as against the payment of said debt or debts, so long as the same ehall remain unpaid; provided this act shall only be applicaqfe to debts contracted in the purchaseof plantation and household supplies and clothing for the famiWo need some such provision in our own State. The limitations of the act seem to be a sufficient safeguard against abuse. Flowers.?As tho Rpringapproach es and tbo season for out door work is at hand, wo ask from the ladies <1 A CmIA some aueiuiuii iu uu\h-iu, a utm time and devotion spared to their cultivation will give more pleasure than can bo derived from any other occupation. There is nothing more beautiful than a little plot of bright flowers, and the lobor required is so trifling that wo often wonder at the 1 absence of them. See to it, ladies, that every attraction possible bo ' given to your homes. If you have i no room out doors, cultivate pot 1 plants. The meanest of God's creatures lovo flowers. Bia Job for the Jury.?The ju1 riee of Greenville are charged wivh | the repair of the damages sustained bv the Countv in the late freshet, as / w will appear from tho following para- I graph from the Gretnville Republican. I "Wo aro informed that his Honor ] propoees discharging tho Juries on ' Friday in order that they may repair 1 the damages of the freshet." Before all the bridges of thatcoun- J ty aro rebuilt or repaired, the jury- , men will this Summer sing: ( "Where can rest be found." I Storms AND INUNDATIONS.?From ' all parts of the country, our ex- J changcs bring the record of destructive storms and inundations. The floods in Pennsylvania and Maryland havo been especially destructive to [ property, and fearful tornadoes have ' passed over portions of this State and 1 Georgia, blowing down houses, fences ? and forests, and destroying many 1 valuable lives. In our own country * the fall of rain has been unusually J h??w fnr lhe season. ^ , Easte.i Sunday.?Next Sunday the 28th inst., is Easter; being the festival in which the Church commemorates the risen Saviour, and 1 putting on its festive robes, calls up- j on its worshippers to join in its soul- 1 inspiring servicos. It once again 1 shakes of tho dust and ashes of its J Lenten humiliations, and breaks * forth in thanksgiving and songs of c "P ? o? n n ;Q nlwnvtt 1 li r> first JiUOivi mu HI f. . .... Sunday after the full moon, which follows the vernal equinox. _ H? Last Sunday was a beautiful day, j and there was preaching in all the ( churches, except the Baptist. Mr. | Pratt was absent filling an appoint- i ment at Warrenton. As wo suggested, the preaching at Pickens last Sunday was not delayed . on account of our absence. That 1 | was right, It was impossible for us to be thero. There arc already in the Clerk's _ ofBce Borne twelve hundred liens to rccoid. The increase in number will be at least fifty per cent, over 1 last year. Business is said to bo reviving in all the commercial circles, and tlio country is faBt recovering from the financial panic of 1873. Easter Monday.?Wo aro requested to state that the congregation of Triuity Church will hold their annual meeting on Monday next at half pas', ten o'clock A. M. Thanks.~To Capt. E. Cowan, tho polite ugont of Whann's Phosphate, we return our thanks for a convenient memorandum book and calendar for 1875. *4^+ There is a good store zoom to rent in Cothran & Wilson's range. The stand for a grocery business is tho best in town. Messrs. Christian & Bowie are making money by their billiard tables?averaging something like five dollars a dav for one of ihcin. Weather.?The last few days have been clear and cold. Farming operations are very backward, and tho work of preparation goes slowly on. Corn planting is now the order of the day. Spring.?Last Sunday was the 21st March?tho Vernal Equinox, that marks the beginning of Spring, with days and nights equal, and the promise orsettled, tranquil weather. ? Throughout the State the papers givo accounts of freshets in the streams. Greenville now boasts of a Sausage Factory. Abbeville has several "hash faotories." The advertisements of the Shoriff of Newberry appear this week in tho Propr*f$ic9 ifye. JL - .JI-. Sunday School Addresses and FeetwasWog. " [j ; Wo have misplaced our copy of " the Lmrcnsville Herald of tire 79th tj inst., or we might give some beauti- D ful extracts from a "hygienic" or a ?i ?5rinp " nlmntnsmoforieal i' UlgUIUII4>M>|j j O || communication which appeared in h that paporovor tho signature of "L.," ^ which signature perhaps meant to li convey to tlio casual reader tho im- ? pression that it embodied tho com- ft bined wisdom and learning of "Laur- ? ens." It seems to us that no native u could have written this communica- >* tion, which is worthy of a national j "grand lecturer on religion and hy- y gicno," and \vc suggest that the author at once procccd to deliver a lew o Sunday school addresses, and a dis- 11 ' a course or two on tho subject of feet- ti washing. The town council should ? sco lo it that his lights arc put out o promptly at nine o'clock, as, if ho is ? allowed to continue to crowd his jj mind the brain may become sur- ci charged with gas. As it is, he now ? merely emits a prophylactic wliich it> P calculatcd to deprive the M. D's and D. D.'s of their occupation in that locality. . Capt. Moorman, of Newberry, was ^ in town last week, attending to business in the Probate Judge's office. It d will be remembered that the Captain, some five or six years ago, won the heart and hand of ono of our most ostimable young ladies, and it is to bo inferred that ho has a good feeling for tho plaeo which blessed him with such a lovely wife. They now have three household gods, viz: g Wardlaw, Lewis and Thomas, who ai we trust may livo to be as old and as d aseful as those whose names they S bear. 2 Wo regret that Mr. Robert Jones ?j has concluded to givo up his place in ;ho office of the Clork of the Court at a, hisplace. Mr. Jones' health of late ai ias been such that he thought it best oi jot to perform the great amouut of .vork that would bo required of him n that office. He is one of our best al :itizens and a most efficient officer o! who onjoys the respect and confi- tl lonco of all of our citizeus. 11 Mr. J. W. Trowbridge will fill the ^ )laco recently vacated by Mr. Jones, md we have no doubt ho will make h m efficient assistant in that impor- tl ant office. al Wash i no ton News.?The Sonate T ias disposed of all its proper business F >ut the Republican Senators seem letorraincd to pass somo resolution indorsing the action of the President ei n Louisiana, which tho Doraocrats ai vill resist as long as practicable.?

The storai passed f( jver Augusta, Ga. to Edgefield, Ai- c ten and Orangeburg doing consider- lble dumago in its path. The little girl spoke volumes when she said, tears ran down her cheeks, "I forget a great many things which happened last jrear, but I can't forget the angry words I spoke to my dear mother, ? who is now dead. n h Keep your word young man if ? you would be respected and sue- c ceed in busiuess. The man who C fails in his promise is only a half * a man. Never break an engagement. . Mr. Wm. Bowie, of tho Santuck f neighborhood, believes strongly in ^ fertilizers. His successful experience j of many years entitles his opinion to \ weight. H? shows his judgment by I tho paper he takes and pays for iu nHunncfl. \ Mr. TV. H.

Daily and Weekly for 187G. The approach of the Presidential election gives unusual importance to the events and developments of 3875. We shall endeavor to describe them fully, faithfully and fearlessly. THE WEEKLY SUN has now attained a circulation of over seventy thousand copies. Its readers are found in everv State and Territory, and its quality" is well known to the public. We shall not only endeavor to keep it fully up to the old standard, but to improve and add to its variety and power. tfsTHE WEEKLY SUN will continue to be a thorough newspaper. All the news of the day will be found in it, condensed when unimportant, at full length when of moment, and always, we trust, treated in a clear, interesting and instructive manner. It is our aim to make the WEEKLY SUN the best family newspaper in the world. It will be full of entertaining and appropriate reading of every sort, but will print nothing to offend the most scrupulous and delicate taste. It will always contain the most inreresting stories and romances of the day, carefully select and legibly printed. Thn Agricultural Denartment is a prominent future in the WEEKLY SUN, and its articles will always be found fresh and useful to the farmer. The number of men independent in politics is increasing and the Weekly Sun is their paper especially. It belongs to no party, and obeys no dictation, contending for principle, and for the election of theDestmen. It exposes the corruption that disgraces the country and threatens the overthrow of republican institutions. It has no fear of knaves, and seeks no iavors from their suppor. ters. The markets of every kind and the fashions are regularly reported. The price ofthe WEEKLY SUN is one I dollar a year for a sheet of eight pages, land fifty-six columns.
