The Legislature. The CJcneral Hssombly of South Caro-1 Una look a rccC*s for llio Christinas lioli-} days at a late hour Jloiu'ay nijrlit, ami j those members who ili<l not <;<> on the j Excursion to Atlanta vcslvrday rc turned | lt> their homes. Tn nrtothr-r wilnmn Wo irivo a li>t of the Acts which have been ratified. In tlie Hottse tiie lhiilrud bill, anil the Election bill, were made special orders for January Vi. In the Senate the bill to iv.jii!afe the! pay of trial justices in Abbeville county, ha* received its second reading. We arc not aware of any reason why there should be special legislation as to the trial justices of this county, but we aroi certain that wise legislation for all the; trial justices w il! result in great good.1 it is said that the bill now before the Senate i>roiioses to fix tiie pay of the trial, justicesat Abbeville village ; >. titty dollars, while the country justice will re-; reive only half that sum. As the Circuit Courts have about absorbed all the legit* *" V-..oi?nou r,r ?!.n 'IVi'il Invtiri> Court JlU.llt- UU.7HIVOO W4 4..1.I v?.v - , I the amounts named may bo suflicicnt to pay them for the actual service which they Way be able to render. Hut wc are in favor of a litth: sensible legislation which will remand al! trilling cases toj the Justice Court, where they properly j belong. Lot the Justice try nil e tses of pettlt larceny, whether it be crops from l he field v livestock from the farm, or chickens from the coop. (Jive the Jus-; tiee his proper business, and then pay him a reasonable lee. If tlie Trial Justices at Abbeville were required to try! the many contemptible cases which are now S3nt to the Circuit Court for trial by that expensive machinery, many thou-1 Band dollars would thus be annually sav- ' ed to the tax-payers of this county, even ; inougll I.'IC XllM Jiisia-us ituuu salaries. To show the sincercty of the Legislator' In his holy reverenco for the Sabbath I daj*, and to manifest his consistency in his cflorts to stop railroad trains (<n Sun- p day, we suggest that some of the>e ex - ? ccedingly pious gentlemen Intro luce a J bill to prevent cooking in the kitchens! of private citizens and hotel keepers on j Sunday. We are very much afraid that these pious Legislators cat warm dinners! every Sundey and then straightway go' to the capital on Monday morning like' good little Sunday scholars, and vote to make the railroad company pious, and to compel their employees to lie over Sunday at some country bar room. The registration or election till is sure to conic to ths front again. A vigorous' advocacy of the measure will moot an earnest opposition. During the recess it; might be well for the Governor, in con-! sequence of the imminent danger which j this bill threatens, to appoint a day of j fasting and prayer. Of course anything) which a little rural paper might say j Would have no influence with the I.egis-j lator, and hence wo let. the matter pass. It is to be earnestly hoped that no fur-! ther unwise or impolitic legislation will: be proposed at this session. There is much needed work which ought to be done, but which receives very little attention. Our criminal laws need revision. The proper codification of our laws are of the first importance, but the | farce of reading the report of the com-1 mission to theSpeaker and a large num-i ? * j ~ DtT DI Ullipry seiiis ii?t? guiiu *jii n 5in.11 every night. 15ut whenever the rail-! roads are to bo interfered with, or the! registration bill is to be discussed, there 1 seems to be a pretty full attendance. The accomplished work of the Legisla-1 ture, we believe, will meet with almost! universal approbation. .We would only J object to so much special or local legis-! tion. Why enact a code ot laws especial-j 1)' for the governance of the Trial Justice ; at Barnwell? In our opinion, the sauio, rules and the sarno pay should govern j the Trial Justices at every Court House. 1 The general stock law for the whole State is a matter of congratulation. The only mistake made was in extending the time until October 1st before it should go ; into operation in some of the counties.! s. It should Lave been of force everywhere' at the same time, March 1, 1S82. The Registration Bill. This bill which has perhaps strirred up more feeling than anything, which lyis yet been brought before the Legislature,! is to be further discussed after the ad- j innn?mnnfc fhr tha Christmas holidavs.> The section requiring the payment of fees for tlio privilege of registering, and the clause demanding tho deposit of live !, dollars on appeal from tlio decision of the Superintendent of registration have been g struck out, and the proposed law is not now near so objectionable as it was in its original shape. We doubt tho expediency of any law i on the subject, and are firmly of the opinion that the law will certainly defeat tho very ends which it was intended to accomplish. As wo understand, the avowed purpose of tho advocates of this -law is to prevent fraud in elections and to perpetuate honest government In; South Carolina. Will it do it? Suppose we have a law which requires the voter to register before the first o!" June preparatory to his voting in the following ^November. In the case of a majority of the voters of the County, this is the bnsi- i est season of the year. Will they at such j a time, before the candidates are in the' field, and long before the campaign will have been opened, quit their work and ' subject themselves to the humiliation ot 1 a registration, which requires them to 1 take their tickets to the polls in Novem- ' bcr to entitle them to vote ? We believe that one-half of the Democrats of this county will neglect or refuse to register, while it is a well known fact that the Republicans would lose a crop and then swim the biirgest stream in the count}*, before thev would forfeit their jightto' vote. It takes all the drumming and draggooning we can do to bring tlio J)cm ocnus 10 me pons, wimu uiu nqjiiuiiuun cannot ho held away. By taking a plain practical common sense view of it, any man with a single eye can see tbat regis"tration is surely the forerunner of the *leath-knell of the Democratic party in South Carolina. Suppose though the alleged necessity, for the registration law was the real reason for urging it?(that of preventing J'rands in elections.) Who violate the election laws to tho greater extent? The Republicans or the Democrats ? For his able and fearless opposition to tho bill our Representative AV. II. P;ir-i ker, Esq., has endeared hi uself to his. constituents, who should not be untnind ful of him for lii.s efforts in having the most objectionablo clauses of the bill struck out. We hope that ho may be 3'Ct able to defeat the whole bill. Our Expensive Courts. If our Legislators could be induced to turn their attention to the real interests of the people, instead of fooling away | their time with the registration bill, they . could do us incalculable good by revis-! ing the criminal laws of this State. From the annual roport of the County Coin mis-' sioners of Abbeville county it will be seen that the jail fees for the! year have amounted to 82,98-1.90, and that the Courts for the same length of time have cost us $2,4^.iu. mv j?ua ^ expense fox* the greater part was incurred J by keeping prisoners in jail, charged' with and waiting trial for the most in.sig- i jiiticant offences, and the time of the Court was taken up with tho trial o! cases, some of which were unworthy o) notice in a respectable trial justice's office. Why not have the trial justice to , * try all cases in which there are not more than fifty or a hundred dollars involved? By having the trial of such cases as sheep stealing, hog stealing, stealing crops from tho field, stealing live stock or domestic animals, tho treasury of this County would be saved a dratt of ?3,000. When it is possible to effect such large savingto the different Counties, is it not Strang, that there should be no Legislator willin; to inaugurate a move which would bene fit us so much ? (,'Jirouio.s frou: !;o of Blacking'! Boxes. Wo propose t<> t:ive two stioh chromos I* to tlio 111st member of the lieneral As-! J sembiv who will oppose tlio hic.her c lii- j' ration of our younjc inni. by speaking;' ami voting against the I'niversity appro- j I priation, ami at tlio wine timo refrain ' from any reference to tho poor over-bur- \( tlioiic?l tax-payer. We want to .see just; one Legislator who has the iudopendiMieo!1 to speak out and express his iusul! to thai1 poor boy:-*, on his o\\ n aeeount. The jioov; I bovs of this State should remember the j' men who would deny theai any higher ^ education than may be obtained in tlie*i1 public schools. While 011 this subject we ' wnnM say that we lail to see the consist- 1 cucy of favoring low grade school-*, and ' opposing higii grade colleges. How such ' inconsistency can ho reconciled is more J than we win understand. Ifaneduca-j cation is a good thing, and tho Suite pro-' poses to give a low grade to all, we see no, reason for debarring the poor young men j from higher attainments. The University would be maintained to give our poor; young men lhe opportunity of obtaining;, that education whi.*h would enable them to hold the best f laces of honor and trust. I j This opposition t<> the higher education ( would seem to be a mere blind to pre-, | vent worthy poor young men from being t anvthimr else than drawers of water and s hewers of wood. T1ip.su men who would ( con line the education of our jioor boys to j the grammar schools, know t!iat their , own chances for preferment would be di-j, minished by thuir education. liich , men's sons arc scut oil* to College, and j ( wiien they return the scholars in the public schools are expected to vote them all the places of profit and lion- j ( or. I'.y depriving the public school1, scholar of the advantages ot a high- i < r collegiate education he can bo kept I down, while the educated man rises high-j4 erand higher. To oppose the nppropria- | * tion for the support of the State I'niver-' sity which will give superior advantages^ to worthy young men, is little less than a I positive insult to every ambitious poor iwiv in t ii-. si.itc. Tiipv nractieallv say,! the lower branches of education are good | enough lor you, and if yon should get a! good education, you might crowd us out of tho good oliiee.i which wo now hold J This insult to the poor boy of the .State i has been o tie red quite often enough, and i wo have wondered why the voter does; not resent the down right injury to his own son, who, !>y a little educational advantages, uiight rise to the highest odices of honor and trust. It seems that the i politicians believe that no poor father wants his son to rise in the world. Thcj poor people should demand the right to higher education for their children. diet-ring Railroad News. j Captain Kirk, engineer of tho Atlantic j j and French Rroad Valley Rai 1 road, pass- j < ed through Abbeville yesterday alter-1 j noon 011 his return from a meeting of 11 Railroad magnates at Asheville, N. C. j j The Captain reports tho most cheering i prospects for an early completion of a ' J through line communication to the Sea. j It is proposed if terms can be made with \ !ho South Carolina Railroad to make that i? road a part of the continuous line, but 'j in case of failure to do so, they will go to; j I'ort. lloyal. It is believed that our peo-,< pie will have to contributo very little.' money. In a few days the projectors of i this most magnificent road will submit ' } tiieir propositions to our people, which if ( accepted, will insure the completion of j the road in two years. It is their inten-1 .visit.ir/Mi of (liO Iniv. !

As usual with <i that class of newspaper wi iters, the an- j1 tlior of t!ie article in last week's Prcsby- j I terinn would lead t lie public to believe (J, that his disputant lacked "manliness," j and was deficient in other matter* which ! t go to make the gentleman, to say nothing, j of the Christian. The Itev. Win. Brown j; directs his letter to I)r. Adger, whom lie! J alleges criticised him under the nom dc; i plume of "Rutherford.'' We all know H that no better man than Dr. Adger lives:' in this section, and we are at a loss tojt know why the editor of a Christian jour- J nal will publish .such communications. \ i It seems that Christians quarrel about the [ tinollnct uml tlt?n ?*1V !?tnp!l!1- t est things known in the English lan-; j1 gunge.

National Education. Tin: talk of educating tho children of the country at the expense of the nation ! should furnish food for thought for those persons of a reflective turn of mind. In ! the course of ten years we should not be j surprised if some Senator or Member of Congress should, as a means of boot- J licking the. rag and hob-tail portion of his! constituents, propose to sell thocapitolj buildings at Washington, and s?ppropri-1 ate the proceeds to the education of their half-grown boys and girls, while thosej too small to be sent to school should each ? receive a stick of candy, a whistle, or a, drum on Christinas day. The public| lands would soon bo exhausted, if thej Government should attempt to educate every boy and gill in the country, and j then after having got a t;iste of the public j money, something else would have to be taken to appease their desires. ? ??

Effcct of the Malionc Victory?Efforts for ft Now Party in Georgia?What G'on. Longstrcet Says of the Situation, <fcc? [J.'attimorc Sun.] Atlanta, December 7, isfil. ? Few men in public lii'c in Georgia are commanding more attention in the South than General .lames Longstteet, the l.'nllc.l Stales Marshal of Georgia. Whenever poiilirs are discmsed Mime inenilier of the Republican party wi.l lie licunl to say something with ren:rence to the posit'on that (lie General will lake in Ilie polities of IhisNtate from now on. Not that (veil. Lonuslreel is much of a politician, for he is not. On the contrary, his quiet ami reserved manner does not give him the elements of a politician, lie was cutout for a soldier, ai.d ' not a politician. I Hiring the war he made a i good soldier, and now, In the time of peace, j lie is administering tlie affairs o: his otlice as ! l.'nitfd State* Marshal with the same prompt- i liess and determination that made him the 1 reputation that lie has of being one of the j very t>est uenerais mill me mie > omeueriicy lti-.il. He is an oldfriend and great admirer of Senator Malione. lie residesat Gainesville,on Hie Atlantaand Chariott-J Air Line, and comes to Atlanta daily for the purpose of attending to liis duties, lie reaches here In the morning, and returns home in the afternoon, leaving i he ollice in | charge oi his assistiint, Major Hen. Ports, an ! ex-Con federate soldier, who, havi ug lost a leg j in defense of his country, is now trying to j earna living in the employment of the (iov- | ernmeiil. Gen. I.ongstrect says the Mahone i victory In Virginia is the outcropping of simi- ; lar iiiovemenl.s that will be Inaugurated In ev- l cry Sonlliern State. He Is of the opinion that Mahono's victory will be followed by others of a similar charaeler in the ci I ire South. The people, he .says, are tired of i lie old way of doing tilings ami want a change.and think that now :s the lime tootled It. " To the corresponded t of the Nidi, who visited hlni lately, hesaid: "I am g'ad to sec that some of the old Doinocratle leaders have onte out and shown that they no lomjcr intend to advocate tarill" for revenue, and arc now In favor of protective tarill' on American lmiusirics, and 1 also see that a good many prominent. l>cmo- , crats In Washington are eonsiderins: the propriety of following Hendricks ai <1 Voorhees. There is no Mahone here at present, and consequently no Malione movement litis yi t formed shape, hut 1 think that there will be something of tin; kind started here soon, as well as in ail of Hie Southern States. The i movement wilf make itself known very soon. | There arc a great many young men in (Instate who have been waiting Ibrllicohl hunkers to get out of the way. The Republicans of Georgia are no'.v all united, and there is no- ' where to go hut into a progressive party, and j besides that Is the very place the," want to go, as the Republicansbelieve in progrcssiveness, and they will feel at home in a new progresimi'ii' 'I'lntv /.til, flrlioi* m iir? willi llif? Independents or the independent# can unite with them. Next year is the oil year in tlie Presidential election, but it is 0:1 rear in (ieortria polities,as in tin; Fall a new Legislature that will have toelect about liai 1'>>f tin1 Judges 01'the .State, and a successor to Senator Ilill, Congressman from every distriet in (he Slate, and a lull list of Slate House olli? ers will have to be elected, also, and In thiselcition the progressive or new party should ligi.re. Suppose the tickel were divided so as to combine the strength of the various element!! of the Stale having progressive ideas, a party could begotteti together that would elect thai ticket without doubt. I am almost sail died Senator Hrown would c? me with us. ile is a progressive man, and has progressive ideas. lie Is* not the man to go backwards Sena lor llrown is a pretty good Republican. Ile <11 Democrat in ollice, but a Republican in principles. I would not be surprised if he werj not in with the new party n?.w. Stephens ai d Felion will no doubtailgn themselves wilh the new party as each of these gentlemen have live and progressive Ideas. I>r. Felion was in to sec ine the other day, but I did not. see him. being out at the time he called. 1 afterwards called lo *ee him, but failed to find him. Toombs, wlio idolizes Stephens, will hardly take any steps In polities, lie belongs to the old ltxiirbon school,and will doubtless slick I 1 old '.Mollicr 0 corgi a.' My opinion Is thai tie young men of Georgia will lead the new parly. They have progressive ideas,and know well how to present them to the average voter. 1 do not know of any particular Slate Issue which will be prominent in the next campaign. A taritt | that will protect labor anil home Industries , will be one. 'J'lie Republican parly basal- j ways favored protection ot labor and home i industries, the payment of the National and all hoiK st debts. and no redueUon of tnrilf ' until the debt is reduced to a half billion, j Ma hone's victory, in my opinioi., was not due to the adjustment of the debt qu.-stion, but to progressive ideas,advocated by progressive men. I have known Malioncsince l.siW. It was in the Spring that 1 became acquainted with him, and since then have had no cause to dislike him. He is a progresssvc man, and a good man. We have been good friends since (lie day that we first met, and 1 hope that we will continue so. I always have a good feeling tor my brother soldiers, and am clad to see that so many that were led to ruin i by old Ionics coining out now with new and progressive parties, and rid themselves of the | old fogy lines that once controlled llicm. The j campaign shouul be commenced at once, and ! made lively from the beginning. 1 am conii- ] dent that such a policy will win." In rcpl.ifcto ! the question If lie would become a candidate lor Governor or other ollice of like prominence, Ucn. Longstreel said: 'T have no desire to oiler lor anything, but I shall take a lively part in the campaign. No one has any right to refuse to do anything that will advance the best Interests of his State or his country. Soldiers are not generally good stump speakers, and all of tin experience I have had in public life has been in tlie field. 1 hardly Ihitik, however, that I will be called upon to do much active work. The young men of the country can conduct the campaign better than the old ones, and their umbition will lead them to the trout. In my opinion the carious elements of the Slate combined can defeat the ring or old Bourbon hunkers In a fair and square election. As it now is,a small circle of liourbonsare run ning the state in their own Interest, and the young men are getting tired of being held bi.ck, and don't propose to play second fiddle any longer. Until this small circle of politicians are turned out and new men put in, with live and progressive iib'ns Lbcv will have to remain In oh scurity." When allied If lie would lead I lie movement, <>encrul I.ongstreet xuld: "Well, that Is something that 1 can t say as yet,because there lias been no organization. I will say this, however, that when the campaign opens that J will do all that 1 can to turiher its success, and will use all ol my energy in the cause that 1 thiiil; is the one that should be advocated by the progressive spirit of Hie entire Sou ID." S. W. 1'. The Parts of a Sermon Proper (o lie Published. [Associ'tlc Reformed prcst yfcrian.) "A distingulftcd divine relates that having preached belore the 15ible Society in Math, a cominittec of the Society waite J on liiin to request the putilicati<iii of so much of the sermen as related to the subject on hand." If some of the sermons of out day were published on this condition, their printed would ill Iter from their delivered form. It is not becoming in laymen to be censorious of clerical performances, lebt they be retorted upon after ilie manner of l)r. l'luiner, who when publisliiiigascrmon,remarked that "if there were any who did not like It, they could go and write a better," nor would il be proper for one minister to indulge much in e-'iticisms upon another, lest he himself Jail under the same condemnation; but at the same time, It is legitimate to remark that the adoption of a rule to publish no more ot a tllscouise than what is appropriate to the subject, would, in many instances, trim down such discourse, and seriously abbreviate it. J f the principles of a sober and Judicious criticism weicapplied to those ol our pni|)it j dibits which are proposed tc be published, some of tliem would be admitted without objection oraiteiation, wiiile others would be subjected to erasures and corrections. The introduction of one is fur-fetched, and duils largely in platitudes, and solar as appropriateness is concerned world suit as well as any oilier subject or any o'.her text, and consequently that discourse is niinu an introduction in the judgment of the committee of publication, or of the publishers. The subjee of another, is foreign to the text and inappropriate to the occasion, and Is ! therefore ruled out. The objcc-ion to another is that the good things in thedis ;ourseare neutrali/.ed by the utterances of doubtful if not of unscriptural sentiments. To c<me within tiie rules, a sermon worthy of the public ear and of the public eye, should be extual, sound, appropriate and instructive. J: may be brilliant but not textual?eloquent, but not sound, orthodox but not appropriate. J. U. SHERIFF'S SALE. rbos. J. Robertson and others against Thomas ttobison?Judgment for Foreclosure.
