This mows will l;c welcomed by all our readers tins morn"V' ing, and by all the friends < f South Carolina iti and out of the State. The ofiler J, of Senator is the well-earned reward o' our distinguished-"Chief Magistrate, lor the full enjoyment of which Al?l?ovi!le i Cocuiy wishes him speedy and complete restoration to health. Tne same telegram which brings this glad news dashes the public joy with th? siul fact that after four weeks of intense suffering, heroically endured, hoping ' , against hope to save the fractured limb, ie at last Governor Hampton's l<g has been amputated below the knee. This was deemed necessary to save his life. Latest account* report his uoruilion as favorable. The prayors and sympathies of the whole people are with the distinguished sullerer. W: ? - Three Dollars I'er Dic:n. One of the healthiest signs in our present Genoral Assembly is its unmistakablo tendency to economy in money and time, which is much money. Not only are short sessions the cry, but in harmony >viith that note conies the sound ol 'Three Dollars Per Diem," which is li.;e music to the ears of the "poor tax-payers.'' Wo have said our say on this matter of reduction of pay, often enough, but it will be forgiven for giving below the views expressed thereon by "M." in the editorial letter of the A ndemon Intellffaicer. We say amen to them. 'Dr. Jchn Wilson, of our delegation, has introduced a bill fixing the per diem of members at three dollars per day, ami there is very kittle doubt that it will bt adopted, and thus the Legislature havinj. cut down their own compensation, will be enabled to. curtail other expenses without subjecting themselves to criticism. Three dollars a day is a smal! compensation, but it is sufficient to secure the services of as good men as can bo procured at higher salaries, and therafore it is all that the Suite ought to pay. The reduction will make the position a inore honorable one than it woutd be with a hiirh salary, for the experience ol every State has boon that high salaries for members of the Legislature brings Into co in petition for the olBee a class oi , aspirants who care moro for the money than for the honor of representing thei: constituents. ??> The Columbia Daily Register. Wo cannot refrain from complimenting the Register on its improved appearance. It is now a large-sized daily, of quite a metropolitan appearance. We congratulate our Columbia co-temporary on it* healthy condition that justifies so great an enlargement, and we bespeak for it all the increased good custom and prosperity which its enterprise and ability deserve. Nor is this the only change. To its editorial staff, already in the ncrson of Col. Jas. H. Hoyt gifted with great power and with a ready pen, it has added, simultaneously with its enlargement, Col. J. W. jL Pope, so well known throughout South Carolina as one who wields tlu *? pon of a ready writer which in bis liatul> i* the free lance of a fearless knight. In t'ie Greenville Daily News and the {Speights' (Spartanlrarg Daily, C<>I. Pope has made his mark as a graceful writer and a clear-headed guide of public opin i.?n. The Itcgistei' is fortunate 111 us editors, and tbe editors are fur tun ate in their journal. Success will reward them. .<s>.?. BjrS News From Columbia. We yield a huge part of our editorial space to the long and interesting editorial letters from Columbia, which our readers will find in this issue of tbe /Yew and Banner. The indefatigable senior editor is always instant in season and out of season, and although in Columbia and Charleston on pleasure be is bent, he stlil has a frugal mind and a sense of editorial duty. Our readers will bo glad _ to see the emphatic testimony Le bears ?6$to tbe high character, great ability, and ?' ceaseless assiduity which he found characterizing our Abbeville delegation in ^ the General Assembly. This is as it , ought to bo, as it used to be, and as it klways will be, if we send thither representatives worthy of old Abbeville. > s V Southern Christian Advocate. v , - This time-honored and favorite organ -of our Methodist friends now comes to ?" na ereatlv enlarged and imnroved. Its typographical improvement is due to its new and enterprising publishers, Messrs. ^ Walker, Evans <k Cogswell, and wo are / glad to see that this religious journal is again to be published in Charleston, the place wlieae it first saw the light. We 5. rogret to state that Dr. P. M. Kennedy, who has so distinguiscd himself as its editor, has been forced by declining *" Health to leave the editorial chair. His ' successor, Rev. 8. A. Weber, however, * has "already shown, as associate editor, that the pen of editor-in-chief could not T ' be entrusted to a more competent and faithful hand. t?- Lay On, 31acduli. The Lexington Dispatch of last week - contains a long and able communicalior from ''P. Q." on the Equalization o Taxcs-and the Slate Board." The artich exposes and denounces the injustice o x* tho recent action of the State Board, am ? also has a few strong words to say in re plv to -the News and Courier.

I His foot had not been doing so well du-i I ring Wednesday and part of Thursday, though tiie general condition of his 1 health was good. On Wednesday after-1 ! noon Ik; was inaugurated as < iovernor for. the term for which hi: was so recently, (elected, without any perceptible bad. ' cll'cet. and after the departure <>!' i the committee's from the House and! ! from the Senate he slept more' soundly than usual without taking' ! anodynes. Thursday afternoon he again' 'slept witoiit resorting to the use of auio-! dynes, and continued tn sleep until early i ; iii the night. Alter which he was wake-j : ful and rest I cms, passing: rather an unfa-; j vorable night, but l'ridav morning hej I appeared to be better and more comfort-! able than ho had been for several days. J i Alter the fatigue consequent upon the; ' dressing of his foot, lie again fell as!eit>' land was still asleep when we called at his 1 ) house between eleven and twelve o'clock, i From statements made to me I am led j to believe that tin- Governor is indeed in j a critical condition, and it is more than; ! human sagacity can foretell to prcdiei ! the result which will follow the aceidont j which we all so deplore. It is now geu: e rally conceded that it would have bven j ' better to haveauiputated tlie limb inline[diately alter the accident than to have i oven risked the chances of saving that [ member or of l'.siug a life so valuable to j j his country. j He has eaten very little since the acci-: !dent, though betakes nourishment in.

He doesn't sutler greatly but bus to i take anodyne to induce sloop. A wound j which he received in the same leg during: the war occasionally troubles him con-; siderablv. JJe hasn't sat up any since: the accident, but ischeerful as to his own [condition, and takes unabated interest in ' I the politics of the State, and daily reads i his letters and the newspapers which are sent to him. While this is true his condi- j I tion is such that Ik* receives but few calllers. ilis immediate family remain with j him constantly day and night to attend to his slightest want and to observe any I change in hiseondition. The physicians, i Doctors Tally and Taylor call twice cvlery day to dress his loot. ! A committee from the House met to' night, (Friday) consisting of thirty-live j members?one from each county?with | General McGowan as chairman, when the. J whole subjcct of KQL'AMZATtOX was discussed, ami it is believed that there is a disposition on the part of1 the Board of Initialization, to make the Drown taxes stick to Abbeville, while, there is a disposition to relieve Lexing!ton, Lancaster uud perhaps other coun-i ! ties. . i ARUKVlt.T.K IS NOT A KAVOUITE ! j with some of the gentlemen at the cap-! j ital, and they are perhaps a little nettled I ! because thu!/V?? and Jimnwr exposed j j the outrage which they perpetrated upon i us. i Senator Maxwell lias introdueeu a mil I into the Legislature to authorize the IJjiieriir ami the County Commissioners to mm-: out convicts confined in the county jail. Should this act become a law it will save Abbeville county from one thousand to fifteen hundred dollar* annually. This is a law , lnueq needed and wili go far towards relieving us of the expense of keeping prisoner*. The election of usxtku states sknatolt will romp oli'next Tuesdav, and from id! I (that I can learn (Governor Hampton will! receive almost a unanimous vote, and without a telegram Tuesday afternoon announcing a dill'ercnt resuit you luav] set it down that he has been elected. As a whole no delegation stands higher j or has more inlluence in tholier.cral As-i seinblv than does the Abbeville delegation. They are always in their places and vote right. Colonel Rice's bill to enact a stock i.aw, will pass the Legislature without a doubt, j jit has already been read twice in tliej i House and is now before the .Senate.; Our people may uiakc their preparations! for a change. It is understood that the ActingG?vcr- j nor will not interfere to'stay the execu: tion of * i"nivin i ! | ! beyond (ho time to which he was respited ! by"Governor Hampton, the -Oth in tunt. j jJudge Maekcy to-night said that he! t would reeeoinmend that his sentence be! | commuted to life imprisonment, on the! [ground of his objection to the death pen-j i ally in any case, lie expressed the opin-! j ion that capital punishment should be' ; abolished. j To-day the debate on the "uiVOUCH inI.L ' was extremely interesting and brnTight out the strength of tho House to a great 'extent. Col. C. K. Miles of Charleston, j from tho Judiciary Committee, reported) |a substitute for a l?ill that had been introduced to repeal the existing Statute on | : the subject of Divorces. The substitute! provides that no divorces shall be grant- i ic l but for the cause of adultery audj 1 further enacts that tho party against> whom the decision is made-dialI not l?e! j allowed to marry again during the lilcj j time of the other party. Tho discussion j ! was exceeding able and was engaged ini by l>r. lirown, Judge Cook, M.Carwile, I i Johnstone of Newoerry, J. J. Hemphill of Chester, M. Fickcn of Charleston, j ; Messrs. Bradley, Usee and Hemphill, of our delegation. Dr. l'.rown, Judge Cook, and General Hemphiil opposed liie passage of the bill ami the General was sure t lint tIit-re were cases ol desertion that , would sanction divorce. This brought iCapt. Bradley to liis feet who charged the General with true Roman valor and ! really made an excellent speech. Col. ! ltice presented the legal argument in j clear and frociblo terms and vindicated ;tue bill. It was passed through the : Houseb.v an overwhelming majority.

The sovcriignty 01 the Slate having been destroyed by he wni', and iu de?ii uctioii having been reejgtiizeu and deeiared by Congress, the high.'hi legislative body of the t' inted .State*, and l:e?e aeis never having been repealed orde l.ired by the Supieme l.'on.t of the United ilates to be uneonslituiioiml, we arc eoin>eiled to recognize them us accomplished uets, and to govern ourselves by them ac ordihgiy. it is, theiejore.elcarthut ihestatc laving ceased to exist as a sovercignt}, its / nidations in the way of bonds or any othe. orm 01 indebtedness, was also destroyed ilong wijb the sovereignty oi the Stale, ui:d ,ve therefore have legally and logically no lute beiluui debt, as our obligations were obligated wilh our right* having been (laurelled by liie sword.
