Some of them have boon -u-isc and sgtkc foolish, they that were foolish being chicly on the side of the Uepudintionists. Some "wondrous theories of political economy lrrtve bc-cn brought forward. Tliis v. :vs to be expected, liul <n* 1 people were not prepared for the startling theories of public morals that found in the General Assembly unblushing propounders. With /enI all tiic more violent feeeause it was not according to knowledge the advocates and apostVos of tin new mora! code have arisen in their seat? in the House avid proclaimed the inntilit.x and futility of keeping our word, am this they have done without shame 01 confusion of face. Cirantieg that tlx "Wallace House of which they formed i imrt made a deliberate and solemn pledge to "stand by < he valid ami nov recognized settlement of the bond debt," a raemlier from Anderson?W. ('. Jlrowi ?boldly assert* tlixt the pledge is no binding. "We would have been just ilia ble," says lie, "in making any promise: in order to tret out of their (I'hatnberlaii and eoni p.-my's) clutches.

At that time in the rays of tin morning sun glittering bnyonets vrcr* shining, upheld by Grant and hi: minions. Can yon tell me that anything Ave did then can bind ns now ? Why, w< -\vonld have done anything to relieve on boloved iState."' Ue expresses surprise that "those win have spoken on the opposite side" hav plaeed "great stress'' upon the Wallae House resolutions. He evidently eon skiers the sanctity of our public word o honor as something out-of-date am strange, our pledge a temporary make shift, our promise made only to b broken. Wo had kindly supposed* that Mr Brown, us the apostle of the revised cod of morals, was left in unenviable loneli lies* t'VUlI UIIK'II^ HIV |ru\itu?i\ J'.ut Abbeville has furnished him with s zealous proselyte. Our represontativi W. K. Bradley preaches the gospel ae cording to Brown with the fervor am daring of a neophyte.

AVe juisi by his violent, unsupported assertion liltout thcrepudiationist'K bug-a-boo, "th< bloated bondholder;" wo allow him t( prepare his "tar and feathers" for tin Consulidationists; we say not a won about his warning the House agains "these yer lawyers"?they can take ear* of themselves and Mr. Bradley too; bu ... .. M? we it1usi j>rklosl jho .,AL llrown :ls his guide, counsellor, an< friend, in mutters of public morality When he says that "the Wallace lIous< pledge was nothing but a politico dodge," we earnestly protest, for we di not wish our Mr. Bradley to provo him self to be a political dodger, ile eoul< not appear before his constituents in i more humilitating plight. Abbevilk county places "great stress" on morality both public and private, and she expect her representatives to make no promise and give no pledges which they will no keep sacred and faithfully fulfill. Sh can hardly believe that one of her son hiisln her eapitol openly and forsake o argument pronounced his own solerai pledge to have been a mere "politica dodge"?a "straw" that was "clutched at' when his party was "overboard.'' Bradley atid lirown make a great mis tako when they suppose that because ou people are poor they cannot allbrd to hi honost,?that their hick of money is , good reuson for a commensurate lack o morals. -Silver and gold they have no ;nucli to give to the bondholder, but this thev have given and will not retracttheir word of honor. And he will 1101 deserve well at their hands who b\ sophistry and specious dernagogisn strives to induce them to falsify theii sacred word or break their solemn pledge. T?. "Anf/\ 4]%n ni ill HUiVJWUIVJ WUUMOk Bradley and Brown are those of anothet of our Abbeville representatives?V. A. Conner. While speaking on the same subject Mr. Connor said "I have heard members on this Hoor announce the monstrous proposition that they were not bound by pledges made when we were in straightened circumstances. I am surprised to hear it said that wo are not bound by resolutions parsed in the "Wallace House, and that we were so hard pressed that we would vote for anything. I for one consider mvsell bound by these pledges, deliberately and solemnly made, that "we would stand by the legal, valid and now rccoytiizcd settlement of that debt." Stocli Phrases n lo Commune. The debates in the Senate and the House during the present session have been remarkable for many peculiarities of which the constant use of stock phrases and epithotH is one. The speeches on tne usury bill, the university bill, and the bond debt have been especially remarkable for the frequent occurrence of these epithets. It is characteristic of the demagogue and the communist to make use of violent terms whose strength is intended to make tip for the weakness of the argument. Furor arm a minxtrnt, und Uiti most handy weapons are nicknames and striking epithets. This accounts for the tiresome iteratiou of sueli terms as "the bloated bondholder"the bloated aristocrat'' with this as alternate --"glove-handed aristocrat;" "the poor taxpayer" and several others. The impassioned orators among.-the Kepudiationists warn the Consolidationjsts not to j. .pay the .debt bocatiso by so doing they will be working in the interest of "the bloated.. bondholder." .The university bill is opposed, because it is in the inter,est of "the bloated, glove-handed aristocrats.'* And as for "the poor tax-payer" .?lie Is the most distinguished and best cared for man iu the State,?he has a. legion of champions. It is to be hoped that such communistic and popularityliu 11 ting expressions, will never be heard jn our legislature again. Our people wish arguments and not nicknames, intelligent deliberation and not indulgence jn violent language "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing," The pGopJc of Abbeville do not enjoy the joke* craekfid in the legislature at the expense of ono or two of their representatives. Nor do they take.delight in .the equivocal praise and doubtful' compliments which tb.c 1'kvnix and.the Journal of Ccmpierce bestow on theso,.yune gentlemen., : - M..: ' 1 JJrothor Brown, of the Chrixtiaa Neighbor.

A few days ago wo received a printed licet with tiio above heading, and just ?c!ow tlie heading the name of "Kdward I. Sutton, invent ?r," Itelow the lame was the cut of a plough >cain and handles on two wheels, one vheel under the beam where the liandles vere united, and the other under the >oint near tho clevis. Between the vheels were two upright shafts passing hrotigh the heam, and cacli flattened ino the shape of a scraper at the foot. The "?Jreat Southern Cultivator Company, Washington, 1). C.," says on this iheet that this implement in the cultivaion of cotton will do the work of ten nen with hoes. A])pendcd to this asserion is a certificate of ex-Governor Iiroglen, of North Carolina, saying that he had xamineil the implement, and doubts not t is a good thing. Another certificate Voin an officer in the Department of IllHllCC ill >> v., V4fc o go to pet a* recommendation for a )lough,) savs he has examined the model f this plough invented by Sutton, a olorcd man of North Carolina, and hercfore commends it to the farmers and danters of the South. On the reverse side of this sheet is the following letters: "Permit me to eall your attention to his improved invention as a valuable 11cjuisition to the cotton cultivators. Your very influential position as president o :he" Agricultural Societies of our State vill enable you to present the same to the armors, and shall be pleased to furnish t to any at the low price of ten dollars. Wv shall be pleased to have you examne our machine and pass your judgment ipon its value. Very respectfully, KioiiAitn H. CAIN, 'Washington, 7). ('., .January 20, 187S." \\'i> h.ivc thus minutelv mentioned tliis 'act simply to advise our readers that the I'ommissioner of Patents has told us thai much to his surprise the latent talent ol invention is being rapidly developer! hrougliout the South, and that according :o nutnbers there are now more patent? issued io Southern than Northern patentees, and strange to say the cnlaml man omcs in for his patent, as in this inst i nee. We are not surprised at a colored mar inventing a substitute for the hoc, fori! las always seemed to us, if we were subjected to the necessity of hoeing our crops ;here would soon be an invention of souk sort on hand to shift the labor. Ifociiu otton and picking cotton are two thing; white men don't like to do, nor will thej lo it if they can hire anybody else to do i lor them, nor do we blame them. And strange as it may seem, this very disagreeable and hard work is most common' Iv performed by the women on the farm, both black and white. For their relief we say, give "Daddy's" invention a trial. We have seen it, and saw it before we ever had any idea a SoutI L il I * ?1 I I l?l \ Jimi nil* fliuiu II it, and we are prepared to believe it woult io ?i:ootl work on the. level sandy ant' kvliito lands of onr lower and caster! omities.

During the Congressional recess wo rereived the following letter, prefaced with in apology for troubling us, and winding ip with a vote of thanks if we would re>ly, A'c. When we received the letter i voting friend happened to be near tu vhoni we read it and asked Jiis opinion. <aid he, "that is just about the area I 'plant, and 1 think I made money last 'year as bad a year as it was. My cotton 'crop paid the expenses of the farm, and 'laid in my groceries for this year, and I 'have considerable corn, peas and fodder 'for sale, killed my own meat and am 'out of debt." Now as nearly as we can recollect these vcro bis veritable words, and it tells the vhole story quite succinctly.

Tin; business before ns during this session lias lieen so eoniplieated, and of sueii varied and important interests, that j | it has necessarily been a prolonged one. I { We were so long waiting for the impor-j i taut report of the "15ond Commission" : that the lull gave opportunity to memI bers to introduce many unimportant, and | I ?iHiii? l?ill< \lsiiiv nii-iiihnrs si*lilll I i to think that tliey Ml".ST INTRODUCE A MI.L, J and the more the better, not that the pub; lir interest demands it, but to let their j constituents know they are doing sontej thing. This sort of thing eosts the State j a great deal, and wins but a poor reputation to the members for the people at homeoften know more about what they are doing than they know themselves. ! Five hundred and ninety bills, joint and concurrent resolutions have been introduced this session, and not more than 150 have been ratified. Then there seems to be no understanding between, the two Houses as to the course of business, and consequently, bills in relation to precisely the same subject, arc introduced in j both Houses, read three times and passed I and in several instances both bills have I been engrossed; a sort of i)i)uni.Kt>-nAUiti:i,KD legislation. I The trouble is how to get rid of one of; them, and the suggestion is to allow both j I to be ratified, and let the Governor veto i one. I sun nose this must be a new de-1 | parture hi* legislation. There is a groat i ileal to bo learned in this tiling of legis! lating, and some of us are yet in the ' Freshman class,. and it Is questionable I whether we will over graduate. I don't know a simple measure that has passed the House in the last ten days that would I I interest your readers. It seems tti me, i almost every church In the State is ineorI porated, ferries across all tlie rivers char- | I tered, and every school house has an act of j incorporation forbidding the sale of li- I Iquor within three miles, or as theSenatorj < from Charleston calls them ineorpora-1 I tions to "encourage pedestnanism." .Almost all of this sort of business should *be done by the clerks of County Courts. | The great bone of contention since last | Tuesday night week has been the r.ONDKn DKRT QUKSTIOX. This lias been discussed every day, though the nights have been devoted to general and official orders. You have I had my views upon this subject, though | I not in full. I have all the time intended j when the vote was taken, to vote to exI <.iinlo tlie (iwcns and other clipped cou I pons because the commission sav '"they I j were not authorized to be funded under I the act;" but in reference to the other j | bonds they do not say this, but only that j they were not valid claims. The fact is , all the other bonds were principally an-' j thorizod by the act to be consolidated, jtliey were consolidated in strict confonnI ity to the terms of the act; they had the j signatures of the Governor, the Comptroller General, and the Secretary 01 SUite, and according to numerous decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States the purchasers of them, without notice before maturity, are not required to go behind that. I heard carefully all the legal arguments, all the authorities quoted on both sides and in my j humble judgment, the State will be required to fulfill its contract. I admit they were fraudufent, but the fraud was kuowii at the time of the passage of the act, the j act w:ts voted for by the Democratic members of both houses, stud would not have been carried but for their votes. I heard the present .Senator from Union, who was I senator at that time, and one of the pur') est men in .South Carolina, say that it 11 was the very best settlement that we .1 could fret and if he had e\cr been of any service to the State during tliyse '! "dark days," it was when he east his vote I for the consolidation act. The ltepubli'jeans then in power, were holding high ; carnival over the property of the State, 1 i wasting the taxes of the people, and leav" i ing the debt unprovided lor, and when | they proposed by that act?it matters not JI what their motives were?to repudiate 1 j six millions of their own debt, and scale '! the balance to fifty cents on the dollar, it *; was a godsend to the taxpayeis of the Ji.State. The holders of the old bonds ae> cepted the compromise because they * thought it a finality. I diil not wish to put the Suite in the unenviable position ^ of attempting to evade this contract, ulli> matoly heiugeompolled by the court to re' cognize it. Those are my UOXKST VIKWS, and I do not fear to give utterance to mv ' convictions. I suppose my people sent I j me here as an honest man, and an indei pendent thinker to do what I thought i was best for them. 1 claim to have done i it, and to have voted for one measure I against my own personal interest, bei cause I believed it for the public good. I , do not represent a people who expect me l to write home to tliein to ask them how (o 1 j vote on any public measure. I have a ! better opinion of their intelligence. I am here to work tor them and think for them and talk for them, as I have better opportunities of getting information and understanding the situation hero on the spot than they can have. I do not propose to sit still, and indulge ; in "eloquent bursts of silence" when a question of viUtl importance comes up, I t'.w IV.?ir nf ln'imr mi tlir* iDiiumiihir side oil' ' the question.

It was' i authoritatively stated on the lloor of the J j House that lie had declared himself in favor ol' standing by tlio Consolidation Act, in an answer to u letter from Senator Kobertson during the canvass, asking his opinion on that subject, (Jov. Hampton 1 was right, and I am glad to be on the j right side with him. We could notation! j to antagonize him, for he is worth to the I people of South Carolina in theappronclij ing canvass all of the doubtful debt. J Some would-be statesmen havo endeavored to show the inconsistency of Gov. ! Hampton in recommending in his j message last year, a ''thorough scrutiny" | of the debt, and at the same time favoring the Consolidation Act as a finality. His reason for it was known at that time, or ought to have been, and that reason I influenced me when, in a speech at that I session, I favored "a lull investigation with a view to provide for the payment of so much of the same as is found to be valid and no more." THE It K A SON* was this?during that doubtful period it was currently reported that the republicans, who had possession of the plates from which the bonds were printed, wore using them to issue duplicate bonds, and< forging them, audit wax with a view] I to ascertain if that was a fact. As to tliej declaration that "this bugaboo about the Treasury being Hooded with coupons presented for taxes is without lorn;" it was true at that time because the holders of them knew that they would not be received if presented as we pronosed to investigate the debt question before recognizing any bond. I thought thej* would be willing to wait as time has proved that they were. 15ut now the f j coupons are coming in, and the largest ; ia.\-pnyor.s in iiiw iuhioji uuvu joi-wiiiui i them to the Treasury, ami they are lying J there; mid these rich men have not paid one dollar of taxes during the hist fiscal) year. Why dont we make them pay? . Kclio answers 'why?*' 1 had the honor to be appointed, l>y the . Democratic Caucus, on a Committee of ten to devise some place for the SKTl'LEMKNT OK THIS VKXKI) QITKSTJOX, and thus preserve the unity of the party jJ in the approaching canvass, and secure | (?ov. Hampton's full and hearty con-|( currence. That Committee after rapeated meetings agreed upon a plan of settle- 1 ment which was supported by the caucus to-day with one dissenting voice. Thus 1 the question is settled, so far as the Legislature is concerned, and will tilti- i inately be adjudicated by the Courts, as it k would have been in the event of the adoption of the report of the Commis- J sion. This is a fortunate settlement, as it relieves tl>? State of any apparent repudiation ano keeps tho <|uestion out of the coming canvass. So that tho democratic party will have plain sailing, and with a solid front, tho independents y having been frowned down, will achieve t another splendid victory. The leading republicans in the House say they are _ satislied with Hampton's administration. The House has passed a KKSOLVTIOX TO ADJornx _ on the 20th, but as tho bond question is J virtually out of the way, we may linish j up sooner. The phosphate bills, the sup- ( ply bill, and tho tax bill aro yet to be j acted on. THK TAX KS will be called for in two instalments, as last year, in May and Octobor, and will he a little heavier on account of having ^ to provide for the interest on the public debt. tiik coMrr.oMisi:, reforml to, acknowledges all those bonds ? reported as unquestioned, and refers the ? ?remainder to a court, eomposed of throe 1< of our Circuit Judges, to be elected by flip (Jpnernl Asunmhlv with the l'isrht of T Appeal l>v either partv to tlio Supremo I Court of IheState, or tinned .States.

This is the best possi-[ j ble arrangement as it includes the whole i ol'the indebtedness of the State. This I ? compromise meets my hearty approval, It is^realiy no compromise on my partij for I*wouId have favored this before the j a discussion began.
