The Legislature,
Some of our citizens and a few of our
exchanges seem to think that our Legislature
has done but little because only a
few acts have been passed up to this
time. When a Legislature is composed
like ours, with a majority of Democrats
in the House ami a majority of Republicans
in the Senate, is it any wonder that
they make hasto slowly. We think it i
decidedly better to do nothing than to do i
find work. Our Democratic inenibers
deserve the gratitude our people for their 1
energy and fearlessness in upsetting and
displacing the corrupt Radicals who have
heretofore rulc-?J to onr ruin. By this
course the State was relieved of a dirty (
ik'gro Senator from Chester which act
gave the people of that county a chance .
to put a respectable citizen in his place.
Whittemore couldn't stand to be investi- (
gated and he has gone to his Northern ,
home, not to return. A gentlemen has ,
been called to fill hi* place. There are ,
many other instances of like character. (
We only mention these to show what we ,
mean. No other Democratic House of
Representatives has had as many dilficulties
to contend with as the present ,
House and w? think it a little unreasonable
to expect too proniiit Legislative ac- (
tion at present.
The matter of the ]>av of members of ,
the Legislature has been discussed for
several weeks. This subject, we regret to
say, has, for several years consumed at
each session much time at a heavy expense
to the tax-payers of the State. We 1
hope that the per diem of Legislators may 1
now be definitelv fixed at Reform figures. '
i
As we understand it, the Democratic
1 tn re- '
jnuiu utrrsti UUTU VWU . <luee
the pay all the time, while the Radicals
are not content with less than the
full pay allowed by the old law. The 1
Radicals, it must be remembered, control
the Senate, and the Democrats of the '
House are powerless to pass any law
without their concurrence. We believe
that our Representatives have been faithful
to their trusts, and deserve the coin- | *
mendation of our people. I
A Deserved Rebuke.
Rev. John Miller, the delegate from (
the Associate Reformed Presbyterian !
* * " u.A ,
?>yno? K> me rresuviuiim ucuiim "* -i i
scmbly which recently met in New Or-li
loans, in his address before the AHsembly* J
wont f>ir religious editors, who it seems, J (
have less of the christian charity and j |
brotherly love than men of the world. 1
He says:
"For the past few vears we have been .
treating with the L'nited Presbyterian j
Church, of kindred origin, and of iden- (
tieal doctrines and usages with ourselves.
But unhappily the editors of religious j
newspapers, and ministers on both sides I (
of the line, have indulged in political j
discussions, and the union now seem* |
hopeless. We stand divided; not on ,
Christ, but on Cjosar. When will <-hris
tians learn that the kingdom of Christ is j
not of this world !"'
H'c Don't Believe it. j
It bus been reported that Rcprrsenta
tive H(kk1 was the forty-tirst man who |
went bank on McGowan in the caucus il
nomination for Chief Justice. We dojj
not believe the report, and think the pub- j
lie should withhold their judgment until i ]
he is heard from. Such a report, if not r
contradicted, is likely to injure our IU-p- j
resentative, and wo hope that our people ,
will wait to hear from him on this sub- j
ject. Mr. Hood should, and we have no 1
doubt will, at ouee set himself right upon
the record.
The Iron Conucction.
The Railroad is still to be built. Are j
you doing anything about it. If Lowndesville
allows the Georgians to get the ,
contemplated railroad from Augusta to
Clayton we will be forever left out in tho
cold. The road can easily be built if all
take an interest in it, and do a part of the 1
work. Make tho stock receivable fori1
freight and passage and there will be no j
lack of stockholders. If Lowndesville 1
is in earnest let her people speak out. A |
pull all together will do ine worn.
It. 11. Hemphill, Esq.
This Representative tor the manly ex- i
pression of his opinions lias been made ''
the target for some unkind shots from ,
various persons in Columbia. The recent i
attacks upon him are regarded here as i
uncalled for. If it is worth anything to J
Hemphill, we will say that his constitu-!
ents eudome him, and that they shall!
expect hini to do his duty fearlessly. Ab-1
beville will stand or fall with her Representatives.

Gen. M. \V. Gary.
The Ciroliva Spartan speaks our senti- | J
inents when that paper says: j
Gen'l. M. W. <Jarv, with his charactcr-11
istic independence is "spnaking in!,
meeting" in Columbia, and seems deter- i;
mined not to "hide his light under ail
bushel." We do not agree with Gen'l. ]
Gary, in the various positions In; has as- <
xuined, but alter all there is some "moth-1 (
od in his madness," and it will do no j
harm to have one man in the General As- i?
svmbiy who has the courage to openly if
criticise the acts of those "who rule the;,
ranohe," thereby making them morej
<"tutions in their movements. Kvery i
quwtion, whether it is the election ofj
Chief Justice, the ysury law, or the pay-!:
uicnt of tlie public debt, should have * a! j

secure a satisfactory solution. After nil

The EMcnton rrisoncrs.
The Charleston papers bring us the intelligence
of the disagreement of the Jury
in the trial of the Kllcnton prisoners.
For several days the public have been
confident that there would be either an
acquittal or a mistrial. Abner W. Atkinson
was acquitted, but as to the others
there was a mistrial. As the public is
well aware this suit was brought by
C'orbin and Stone to make political capital
against the whites, on account of the
riot which the negroes incited last .September
in Aiken. On the Jury were six
whites and six negroes. The whites
were all Republicans except <Joorge W.
Williams. They divided on the color
lino?tho whites being for acquittal and
the blacks urging conviction.
The prisoners are required to give bond
to appear at tho next term of the Court
10 go through this farce again. It is to be
hoped that we may some day be relieved
uf such persecutors as C'orbin and Stone.
Wo hone our people will take Tost
master Kc?v at bis word, and tell the
commission that they want post routes to
roach the people aJl over the country.
This is called "Star Service*'?horse
routes from cross road to cross road?
ovcry route they so procure leads to an
appropriation of money, and inures to
the benefit of the people upon them. It
would stimulate the business of the
country, and the habits, and thoughts of
the people.
We hope our'people will take the suggestion
to heart. Call meetings and instruct
our Congressmen as to the wants
5f the people in every part of the conn- ,
try. If these post routes are wisely arranged,
and earnestly demanded, thev
will be had.
Election of Judges.
The IIouso of Representatives has
passed a resolution to go into the election
jf Jiulircs for the Fifth and Eighth cir- :
?uits to-day. This puts Carpenter and
['ooke on the spit. Carpenter will no ,
:lou|>t Ik; relieved of his circuit. We i
hink it a little uncertain what will be- '
iome of Cooke, but we think it likely ,
:hat he will be re-elected. If there is '
such a thins as rewarding Judges he will
oine In for his share.
The Fence law.
This law I think unconstitutional,
inch a law never was in olden times.
Washington was as wise a man as we
iiave had in late years, and he never favored
such a law. "What is a poor man <
:o do that ha* no land? What is theL
small land owner to do with all his crop .
jxposed to the stock driven to and from
mantel r xnis wouiu rum uic smani;
farms on the way side. My ideas cannot
be brought to agree with this law. A
man owning one thousand or fifteen hun- <
lied acres of land might comply with
his law; but a man running a small (
farm cannot nor never will agree to this
law, and if made to come under, will
leave his native State, and seek a resting i
place in another clime. I say all the time,
keep a good fence around your crop
uul let stock have free access to all pas- i
Hires as they have alwaj'S done in former
lays. I know our Governor is all right
mil, I hope enough of a farmer, to see a
poor farmer righted. Any common man !
hat would vote for the fence law is want- '
tig in brain, lam a Hanger from near
he sod where the venerable Pettigrew <
ivas reared and could he be with us at tin*
present, would say let every man keep
rood fences and keep out stock.

Heroic Encounter With a 31 ad Dog. ;
Gosukn IIim., May 12th, 1S77.
An estimable lady, the wife of Mr.
Ruins Kviins. was hit ten lust Wndnesdsiv
evening by what is generally .supposed toi
tmvo been a mad-dog.
M rs. Evans was passing l'rom the
kitchen to her dwelling when the dog
ivas discovered within lour or live foot of
lier. It eanic up, smelt of, and bit her before
she suspected any danger. She then :
started to run, when the dog became furious
and made repeated ellbrts to bite
tier again. Fearing he would do so, and
probably bite some of her children who
were in thc yard, with a courage and
heroism unequalled, she caught the dog
by the neck and carried him by main
force to a chicken coop which stood conveniently
near and, with the assistance ol'j
an aunt, put him where he could not J
harm any one else. Unfortunately in
helping to get him under tho coop the
aunt had her thumb grazed by the dog.
Where it came from no one knows.
We hear however, that a dog of like
description passed through the yard of
Gaines Kay 111 Laurens, biiing every dog
on the place, a colt for James Duckett, a
dog for (.5. Thomas and came very near
biting him, and although he had'an axe
with him and hunting for tho dog, he let
it pass on to the river, which was crossed
without any difficulty it seems, as le
went riirht bv Josenh JImrhevs and bit
two of his dogs with impunity?travelled!
on, bringing up in Mac English's, plantation
; {Missing right by John Smith's, I
Jr., he bit his dog and was still spared to
inflict his rabid spite on an estimable wife
und mother.
Isn't it strange that a rabid animal
diould be allowed to roam over the country,
and no efforts whatever made to stop
its mad career. Is it cowardice or indifference
to the welfare of their neighbors
which will permit such things?

general Legislation lias been done during
the past week. The bill tf) reduce and j
tix the price of dieting prisoners in county
jails passed its second rejidin.tr. The
price linallv agreed upon was thirty cents
per day. The bill to utilize convict labor
also passed its second rending. This I
think will be a great saving to the taxpayers.
I visited the penitentiary on
riiursdav, and was surprised to see its
utter failure as n penal institution. It is
a place to lodge mid provide l'or lazy thieving
negroes, who are unwilling to make
a living bv honest labor. They work but
little and seem to be allowed to take I
their own time about it, moving at a;
sluggish gait. The only work that I saw
that could be called work was iu the
blacksmith shop where they were ma- j
king some good raii road picks, horse j
shoes, plows, <fce. JJut I venture the assertion
that it costs the State irtorc to !
make these articles than it realizes for
thein. Hand labor cannot compete with
machinery, and the sooner such work is (
abandoned the better. It seems to a cas- (
ual observer, that the whole force would 1
be better employed quarrying granite, of

making bricks. Il* the canal had not ,
beeti foolishly disposed of to shrewd .
yatikees the iabor of the eon riots could
be well employed in deepening and widening
tin; canal and building a dam
across the river. The contract of sale 11
trust will be set aside on the ground ofi
failure to comply with the terms of sale
by the purchasers. This matter is in the
hands of the Attornt.v General and will
be thoroughly sifted. It is undcrstvid
that the phosphate companies will hire
all the convicts if they can get them, and
no doubt they can as soon as the bill becomes
a law. There is an absolute necessity
for the law at the present time.
Tfcere are four hundred and fifty-two
convicts in the penitentiary, and they are
being recruited every week, and it is
thought there will be eight hundred before
the end of the year. The people
must bo relieved of this burden of taxalion
and this bill provides fur it, and I .
hone it will be nasscd bv the Senate. .
The House passed a joint resolution to go *
into the election of Judge of the fifth "
fir-nit (Carpenter), but it was defeated
in the Senate on Saturday in consequence ['
of tin* ab.srticc of President Simpson, Jt
the vote lieiny^U to 10 and Swails being I
in the chair the casting vote against J1
it. It is very unfortunate that any of <
our Democratic friends should feel call-| (
cd upon, bv matters of private interest ] t
to be away from their post, especially in ' ,
the Senate where the vote is a tie. 1 i.
think the matter will be started again in .
the House, in some shape, and if all our
Senators arc on hand it will go through *
certainly. J
A word now on the unpleasant subject *
of pay of members of the Cleneral As- i
leiribly. I know our people must be tir-11
ed ??f this, and disgusted, as they have a J
right to be, with the action of the Senate, j
secured as it was by Democratic votes.
They voted six hundred dollars for the
regular session and two bundl ed for this '
extra session. The regular session was 1
rmly twenty-four days, and almost noth- '
i nt? done, and by what sort of arithmetic '
they can vote themselves six hundred 1
dollars for it, and two hundred dollars 1
for this session when we have already
been here forty-one days, T am at a loss to ]
know. It is simply absurd, and 1 am t
satisfied the House will promptly vote it
down. I cannot sav what the House will .
agree upon. 1 judge it will he more than
some ol" ns think it should he, and it will 1
ho so because of the obstinacy of the
Senate?the concurrence of both* Houses
being necessary to settle the matter. I
really think it shouldNiot under any circumstances
exceed four hundred dollars
for both sessions, but I have little hope
of blinking it down to that figure. Some
of our Senators voted for eight hundred
dollars, and 011 the same day they voted ,
to receive no pay at The people
must put their own construction on tins '
kind of political tergiversation, but I
confess to my disguest at such child's
play on the part of grave Senators.
The committee of conference 0111lie appropriation
have had three meetings
since Saturday and have failed to agree.
They meet again this morning with little
prospect of agreeing however, and if they
tlo not, another committee may be appointed
or the bill will be killed and we
will have have to start "do novo."
The question of providing for the interest
on the debt, and I really think it
unfortunate that the committee of ways
and means touched that question
fit this session. Nobody thought
about providhui for the* drht, but j
merely investigate it at this session ; and!
lain satisfied that the bondholders did)
not expect it. Hut when it came up upon
the report of the committee piovining
for an appropriation of $'_7<i,O00 to pay interest
before we knew what we owed
then came; the "tjg of war." It was,
however, passed by a large majority in
the llonse, but it was defeated in the
Senate; and now the cnort is to compromise
througn committees of conference,
two of which have been appointed,
but from the composition of the committee
it is like trying to mix oil and water.
The resolution to impeach Judge
Wright conies up to-night, and, if our
Democratic members get back from their
homes, it will pass, and that suspends
him until he is tried, which will not be
until next winter. In the mean time we
hope he will have sense enough to resign.
Well, Mr. Editor, we have the consolation
to know that we have gotten rid of
many objectionable ollicials since we
have been here, "and the end is not yet."
Mr. Samuel Dibble was seated last week
as a member from Orangeburg, in the
place of Straker, the Bermuda negro,
whom we struck out early in the session.
Orangeburg is happy. Newberry might

BY II. K. II.
Press mid Drmncv :
On the morning of the2Sth of July,
8o!?, I awoke, as I had done for tlia
:ist ton |>recceding it, and found myself'
passenger aboard the splendid ocean- j
learner "(,'ity of Baltimore," Lound!
or the "Kmerald Isle," the home of j
ny forefathers, the shamrock audi
urze. i was then some nineteen
ears of age and with my opportuni-;
ies and facilities for obtaining a cor-1
ect idea ol the geography ami gener-j
tl appearance of the country of Ire-;
and and of the true character of its;
nhabitants, I should have been better!
>osted,yct I was like the great major-:
ty of the American people to-day
grossly ignorant upon these pointw. j
I had somehow formed an idea, I suplose
from having often heard of the
'bogs of Ireland," that it was a low,
lat,'marshy country something like
tortious of Florida, r.ud that the
rcat majority of Its inhabitants were
epresented by the Paddys and Ucdiys,
with whom I had met in America.
Entertaining such ideas as these
lie reader can well imagine my surprise
and the deliglrtful sensation proluced
upon my feelings when in go-!
ng upon deck, after dressing myself
>n the morning in question, there was:
m'sented tor my aumirauon aim ioj
ny astonished vision one of llie most i
magnificent landscape views which
s to he had anywhere within the con-1
inesof Europe. This was the estua-j
y and adjacent country loading from
he city of tiueenstown up to the city
>f Cork?couceeded by travelers to he
>ne of the finest scenes any where to
)c met with in the old country.
The sun was just peering over the
:ops of the distant hills and guildingl
A'ith his early rays the bosom of the!
jlacid waters, which, as :f to contri-l
iute something to the fairy scene, had j
>f a sudden calmed down and were]
low scarcely moved by a ripple. Thei
nighty stcajnship lnui reefed her sails
md was gliding swiftly along like Uj
hing of life, apparently without a:i
Ilbrt. Away to the east and imme-|
liately in our front could be seen the
leautiful little city of Queenstowu j
esting, as it seemed, on the very
A'aters?so abrupt is tlie blull'upon I
vliich it is built and so closely' does it I
ine the margin of the sea. fStill fur-1
heron could be discerned the arm of j
lie sen at whose extremely, a distance j
>f some nix miles is located the splen-l
lid city of -oi l;, a city nottd tor its in-!
ititutinii.s of learning and the nnsur-j
iassed erudition of many distinguish-!
:d scholars and scientific men who re-i
iiile there.
This beauliful stream of water j
breads its silvery way thron?h l'er-i
ile fields and from whose shell-bound i
janks, dotted here and there by state-1
y residences of the wealthy, rise in j
eiitle ascent 011 either hand a sue-1
session of bills the one above the other
intil they kiss the clouds. Thus
vas presented at one view u vast ex
ent of country and lieing the most |
ertile and most highly cultivntetl of
my portion of Ireland, if not of all;
Europe, and the* crops, which consist- j
d of almost every variety of forage, j
oot and cerial known to civilized I
nan, being yet unsevered from the

A farmer in Ireland who culti-j
rates a farm of fifty acres is consid-j
'red an agriculturist of no mean pro-i
jortions, and well may lie be as upon]
his he will produce more actual i
nonev's worth annually than is pro-1
Uieeo upon nvu or six umn wuu
iu tuber of tic res of our average lands,
lie will have this farm divided into
iix or eight fields containing each from !
hree to ten, acres and separated from |
acli other bv beautiful hedges nindci
>f thorn which is indigenous to that j
ountry and which is admirably!
idoptcd to the purposes for which it!
s used. The.su hedgesare kept nicely!
rimmed in order to prevent their en-j
irouchment upon the farmer's land,
uid at the distance at which J first)
jehehl them, reminded me of the!
ledges of privit or uonymous to bei

some of these fields, or patches, as we
tvould call them, even were in wheat
ilmost ready for the sickle, others in!
dovor waist high and in bloom, othersi
n oats just beginning to head out and!
igain others in, barley, buckwheat,!
uruins, mangleworizle?and many j

of the country at this point,
n one grand prospect, and appearing
n the distance much smaller than
[hey really were and being distinctly ;
leparated by the hedges before alluded '

sxtensive flower garden whose out-1
inca were only the more distinctly 1

lor was this pleasing picture marred j

in landing that the whole face of the;

vas clothed in nature's most lovely
labiliments.
We knew that Ireland was called
lie "Emerald Isle" and that the color
>f the emerald was green but never
iad it entered into our youthful iniagnation
that there was anywhere in
his sin-cursed world to be found a
lountry blessed with such universal
,'erdure, such a lovely carpet of velvey
green as everywhere meets and
heer.v the eye in the central and
southern portion of Ireland. The
