For the first time in eighteen years, the Democrats control the lower House of Congress. Of the two hundred and i ninety-two members who com pose the House, one hundred and seventy-two Iare Democrats, fourteen Independents. |and one hundred and six Republicans. ! Of the whole number, one hundred and ; eighty are new members, and of these 'one hundred and twenty are Democrats, and less than sixty are from the South iern States. ! As the President and Senate are Rc jpublican, the work of legislation does I not promise to be very harmonious, and the House may antici^tUe constant cheeks in the exercise of its powers, and :obstacles in the work of reform. Jlold I in>r, however, the purse strings of the 1 ,t Ml,,I M-ifl, ., |,?|CU ?f i power lor two years, derived directly } from the people, it is able to command ] a controlling inlluenee upon the vferions departments of the national administra tion, ami to do much in the way of re form, ami in moulding the policy of the (Jovernincnt for the next two years. To the full extent of it* powers, it is anticipated that the work of retrench ment and reform will he fully carried out. Expenses will he cut down with a free hand, and every department of the service will feel the touch of the prunint: knife, in tin* lopping oil' of abuses and corruptions. It is supposed that tlie total expenses will be red need some SoD,ooo.ooo-that is, from Ssoo.oiio.ono to $&r>o,y;)o,000?the Indian Bureau from $7,000,000 to $4,000,c,00 ? judicial ex penses of 000,000 will bo largely re dueed?the river and harbor appropria tions cut down?the army and navy reduced, and lavish expenditures check ed iu all quarters. In fact, economy and reform will be th/-order yf the day, and will be used as a winning card to control the next Presidential election. In all these efforts at reform, the House may anticipate the opposition of a He pumicau fenaie; out, mooing me purse strings and furnishing; the motive power of the Government, it eaii at any time lictate terms to that hotly by a refusal to furnish the appropriations. We may anticipate a long session, and that noeilort will be spared to unearth all the abuses and corruptions of the administration, anil that (lie zeal of the House will be quickened by the hope of getting up some telling documents for the Presidential election. The key note of its policy is well sounded in the ad mirable address of Mr. Lamar before the Democratic caucus, and we are sure that the Senate will follow the course pointed out by the distinguished Missis sippian, to restore the Government to the principles and practices of its found ers. The election of Mr. Kerr to the speakership seems to have given general satisfaction, and we may anticipate the utmost harmony in the ranks of the party in carrying out the work of the session. ? * Too .tinny Non-Produccrs. Mr. Daniel Dennett, of New Orleans. has written an article, for the Time# newspaper of that place, givinirifood and sutlicicnt reasons why Louisiana is poor and tlie Crescent City unthrifty. He shows that not one acre in ten of the soil of the State is in cultivation, and not one acre in ten of the richest lands. Almost exclusively upon agriculture the people depend for prosperity, and yet not one in seven fo'lows the plow or works the hoe. Me shows, too, that out of a population of seven hundred and twenty-six thousand, in 1S70, the enor mous and startling proportions of six hundred thousand arc non-producers. And this is true of the hest farmiair and finest stock-raising State on the conti nent! He says: "What we want i? ten men at the nlow handle where we have one. We Want much less land, to the hand, and more complete cultiva tion. We want hundreds of thousand small farms, in 1870 Louisiana had but 28,0110 farms and plantations. It ought to have had at lea-t. 200,000 farms. Our .State, if under a high state of culti vation, like some portions of Europe, with large investments in home facto ries, mills and machine shops, could ea sily support a population of live mil lions. It now but poorly supports one seventh of live millions- The German Empire, with a surface about equal to that of live such States as Louisiana, and with a soil far inferior to ours, supports forty-three millions of people, a larger population than that of the United States in 1*70. If Louisiana, Mississip pi, Texas, Arkansas and Alabama had live men at the plow, where they now have one, the business, prosperity and wealth of New Orleans would increase about in the same proportion. New Orleans looks for prosperity from a . i rup.>i I'l 1 PIUI'U, uiiu uiiiiiiiitj imui population. Our State hive is too weak. We want more bees lo secure an ample yield of honey.?There are too many drones and too many moths in the hive. That's exactly what's the trouble. A good .State government is a very good thing i?nd a bad Stale government is a very bad thing, but there are oilier good ami bad things besides these." These remarks apply to the whole Moulli, ami to nownurc more lorejoiy tlnm to our own State and County. We haveliumlruils of acres of ?*in productive lands, lacking cultivation because so many of our people of all classes, sexes and conditions crowd our towns and villages or linger about cross-road stores, whilst the plow stands idle in the fur row, and our lands are lying waste. The labor of tlie field lies at the basis of all our prosperity, ami if this be lacking, it is folly to talk of honest government and oppressive taxation. Important Decision. The Auf/wita C/ironicfr &' &rnfinrfre fers to a decision lately made by an Ohio Court, which is very important to all merchants ordering produce from the West. The decision is to the ell'ect that the bill of lading covers only the goods actually received, and that the railroad company is not 1 initio beyond that. The C. & S. says:? "It is to be presumed that this on.se will find its way to the .Supreme Court of Ohio, and if the decision of the lower Con it. he sustained hy this tribunal, it is prohahle that there will be a revolution in Augusta in the method of doing business with the West. The custom whieh prevails here now, and which has tkivtvuiliwl fn?' coViM-111 v/ifiru will nf i?r? cessity he abolished, as no prudent dealer \v<#uItl !'r?*J 'ale in continuing it. if a provision dealer orders a car load of c??ni or of bacon from Ohio or Chica go, the shipper draws a sight d"aft for the price, attaches to it the railway company's bill of lading, and forwards it for collection. The dealer pays it, taking the bill of lading a guarantee that the goods for which he pays have been delivered to the railroad, and are! on the way to Augusta. Hut under the decision published this moruiug he is absolutely at the mercy of the shipper, and takes the bill of lading at his peril, j If he has ordered ten thousand bushels j of corn and pay a Right draft, with hill of lading attached, f<>r the price of ten 1 thousand bushels, and only one thou-' sand bushels arrive, lie lias no redress in the event of the insolvency of the party from which lie purchased.* A ease similar to that reported in < incinnati is pending in Maryland, ami in thai State the lower Court held that the railway company was responsible upon its bill of lading, whether the goods were actu ally received or not." ! I, F. CI SL ATIV E. The most important matter of Lcgis lative business during (lie past week ' has been the supply or tax bill which passed the House at 1 mill less than tiie figures agreed upon a week ago. The ! sum amounts to iij mills, distributed as follows: Sec. 1. l-'or salaries 1 J I'lMll (lliU tJUU 1 UliMt; 1 11 r) L I till ions 11 ;5. Public schools 11 1. Expenses General A*scni 1)1 v 11-10 5. Priming \ (i. Interest on public debt 2 14. JJeticiences 1 2-5 OA This is ] of a mill less than the bill of the last session which the (iovernor ve toed, and a fraction less than the one lie recommended. The House also on Wednesday passed the bill to its third reading which provides for the pay-, incnl of certain claims (the big bonan za.) It levies A mill annually for fourj tmikiv Tlin I v i I 1 to hiiv Mil'tMin i mini if - < !edncss (the little bonanza) will be re j ported back from the Com in it tec of I Ways and Means, to which it was re 'committcd. It is expected to levy 18-15 of a mill annually for four years. So the whole levy wiil be. except for the counties, within 11 mills. This is regarded as a triumph of the moderate party and is owing to the.per sistent eflbrts of the (Governor, and the most discreet of the members. The bill 84 mills county tax for Abbeville, A mill of which is to pay delicienccs of the present year. In the Senate, a bill to repeal Section 55, Chapter CXX, of the General Stat utes, relating to liens on crops, after being amended so as to take effect on the 1st of January, 1877, was passed to a third .leading. A bill to amend an act to establish l>y liiw mu vuimg [irt'CMit'is V1 niv >?iiwu? ' counties of the .State, after amendment was passed to a third reading. The Judiciary Committee reported favorably on bills to amend the law in relation to obstructions in streams; to amend the law in relation to arrest, commitment and bail; to amend the law in relation to Trial Justices in Co lumhia; to auihori/.e the foremen of : trrand juries to administer oaths; to re | lievc defendants in criminal cases from 1 attendance on the Supreme Court pend ing appeals; to amend chapter of the General Statutes, relating to ipiarantine. In the House, were introduced a bill to repeal an act to secure advances for agricultural purposes, call I he lien lu\v;j jabill to encourage tl>e restoration ol I old buildings, and the erection or new ( lies; a bill to repeal an act to repeal j the usury laws of this .State, and to; 'limit the rate of interest a bill to tax owners of dojjs. In the Mouse, Mr. W. M. Holland in troduced a bill to compel merchants and | others sampling cotton to return the samples to the bale before weighing the same ; bill to repeal an act entitled "An I act for the better prot?ci<>n of land! jowners and persons routing land to oth-1 I ers for agricultural purposes," and to; amend an act relating thereto, and bill to establish a new judicial and election j !county from portions of the counties of! Abbeville, Laurens, Newberry and Edgefield, to be known as Ninety-Six County. The "election forjudges will likely not conic oil' before the holidays, il will probably be a strict party light.

Knowlton, (if Orangeburg, is strongly supported by Ilayne, of Marion, and the Orange burg delegation. Ivnowlton is in good odor among the colored members, and from this fact is Whipper's main rival. Sea brook is also strongly supported by | the Independent Republicans of the Charleston delegation, and is by no means-weak among the Regulars. In Tin: SKCON*o cinctriT the light will be between Judge Maher and II. M. Thompson, of Williston, i Barnwell County. Thompson is Les-| ; lie's pet, and was the attorney for j Blackville, in the Barnwell and Black ville ease. Judge Maher will,of course, be opposed on the ground that he is not a Itepuplican, but his election is put j down as among the certainties.

"Vasiiiuton, December 7. The Presidents message opens: In ibmltting my seventh annual message > Congress in Llie centennial year of ( ;ir national existence as a free ami in-|, ependeiit people, it affords me great;] leasure to recur to tin; advancement! iat has been made from the time of the >lonies lOD years ago lie President earnestly recommends iat a constitutional amendment be ibmitted to the legislatures, making the duty of each Slate to establish and ,revt*r maintain free public schools, ; lequate to ilie tdueation of ull children j ? i the rudimentary brunches, irrespeet-l, 'e of sex, color, birth-place or religion, |j >rbidding the teaching in said schools! ' reiigious, atheistic or pagan tenets, id prohibiting the granting of anyj :hool funds or school taxes or any part: ieroof, either by legislative, municipal' r other authorities, for the benefit or j d, directly <?r indirectly, of any relig-j. us sect or denomination, or in aid orj u* the benelit of any other object of I ly nature or kind whatever. lie alludes to the importance of cor-| ictini* the evil of vast' amounts of un- I ,xed church property, mid estimates nit by 1S90, if unchecked, this proper- 1 ' will reach a sum exceeding uOO,- J 0,0(10. He would suggest the taxation ' all the propfcrty equally, excepting ily the last resting place of the dead Relations vvith most foreign powers > )iitinue on a satisfactory and friendly oting. Alluding to smuggling through the ee zone and cattle raids on the Rio rande, the President says an exped ient of an armed vessel on the Rio rande for (hat purpose is on trial, and ^is hoped that, if not thwarted by the mllowness of the river and other nat ral obstacles, it may materially eon trili te to the protection of the herdsmen of] exas. I Discussing specie resumption, the! resident says: ''Too much stress can Dt he laid upon this question, and J! iipe Congress may be induced to in-| ire the consummation of the act of thej st Congress at its last session to bring j jout specie resumption on and after I inuary 1, 1879, at the farthest. It!, ould be a great blessing if this could i 2 consummated at even an earlier ly." I commend to your earnest considera nn ji reneiil of so much of. flip lc.>nl . nder act as makes those notes receiva le for ileitis contracted after a certain tie, lo be fixed in the act itself?say A later than January 1, 1877. A hear- J reaction would set in at once, and'j itli it a desire to make the currency i Inal to what it purports to be. lie suggests that Ihe Secretary of the 11 reasury be authorized lo redeem say i' )t to exceed $2,000,001) monthly of le- ' U tender notes by issuing in theirsiead ng bonds, and that additional power given the Secretary of the Treasury ' accumulate gold for final redemption, ! ther by increasing the revenue or by i . creasing expenses, or both.

They are in nearly every I istance exorbitant. The President says: "Make educa-i on compulsory, so far as to deprive all! arsons who cannot read and write! oin becoming voters after the year >'J0, disfranchising none however, on rounds of illiteracy who may be vo rs at the time this amendment takes led; declare church and State forever) parale and distinct* drive out license: nd immorality, such as polygamy and i je importation of women for illegiti-j late purposes. Our Next President. 'rlitnr Pri'HH k Banner: There has probably never been a rpies oii before the people that haa excited ai lore lively interest than as to who will j race the Presidential chair next. I i o not propose in this article to put the! ublie mind at rest on the subject, hut I j mply aim to arouse the people out of! le lethargy into which they have al tweii themselves to fall after the late lepublicau tritiniph. All over the coun y the Republicans are rejoicing over n: downfall of the Democratic hopes, ml the merry fellows are congratulating Boss" Grant on the certainty of his .-election lor a third term. The money uestion seems to have turned Ihepub c mind from the right track, and cen tred it on money. CSrantand his jolly row arc truly thankful at the sudden irn of affairs. Washington set the ex inple of limiting the Presidential term > two years :tt most, sind now we have Yankee tanner who is so eminently seful as chief executive, as to demand third term over the heads of seventeen ther Presidents. He even goes fur ler?he makes a great sacrifice in serv lgsucha little penny concern as the nitcd Slates of America, the tame na on the presidency of which our illus ious Washington considered an honor > hold. The whole thing of Grant's adminis ation has become disgusting to decent fwntl<* Tim fnwii'ivri i>>. 1 ii icti?rc cm if is; lid, have become so disgusted at the isgracel'ul rowdy, drunken frolics at 10 National Capital, that they very re ictlantly coiue as ministers to Ulysses' our'. Now the question has been agitated >r a l'?ng time, ''Are we to have Grant ir u third term? The election next car is to he one of the most important iat has ever occurred in America. It in the centennial year, ?hcn we are ) cclehra'e our lirst one hundred years f independence. If Grant is elected for a third term, it not dillicult to see whether we will k*er cab-orate another century of inde im deuce. "Anything to heat Grant." Walhalla Items. The Kcowce Courier says:?
