The Junior editor of the Frras and liaivifr while in Columbia was very favorably impressed with the pn-so/ic! of the General Assembly, they appeared to us to be a body of earnest, zealou*, working m?n, who were disposed to do their duty as they knew it. Of one thin;* it is certain, that they j have a head of their own, and accept j no man's dictum, and no measure passes them without full, free and fair discussion. We were impressed with the number of young men, both in the House and in the Senate, and it i-( 1 llwwf j j L' i Ht'KllOWK'U^'ll lililt in\-j ?? .v?. tlie highest, both as to intelligence ami as to industry, and many of tlioni have a bright and honorable future before them. Speaker Sheppard it is concede^ >? t?est presiding otlicerj that we have had for many years, and we believe, that he has very f? \v equals and no superiors, he is graceful, quick, and attentive mid his rulings always prompt and correct. We doubt if any State has such youthful Solicitors as our own, they were all in attendance upon the Legislature, and seemed to be an intelligent and handsome lot of men. We confronted and viewed several colored Solons occupying seats, and upon inquiry found, that there were several in the House, and two colored Senators, one from Beaufort and the other from Georgetown. Some of the colored members from Georgetown are Democrats, but the whole colored delegation from Beaufort is Republican. AVo vt'/ii'u in TToilCP whfMl 1110 bill to provide for the preparation of the rolls of the troops from this State* in the Confederate Army passed, and listened with much interest to the eloquent and impassioned speeches of Messrs. McCrady and McKessick in favor of the bill, both these gentlemen referred to touching incidents of the hardships and bravery endured by our soldiers, which had come under their own observation, and reviewed them with much feeling and emotion. Mr. A. 8. Todd of the Anderson ? Journal, is engaged as Engrossing clerk of the House of Representatives, and evinces the tame politeness, energy, and activity in the position, that characterizes him as editor of his excellent journal. Tlie Senate Chamber is occupied by grave Senators, who appear to know the needs of the people, and seem willinrr frv tlmir lincf oiiilonvnri; tn lil'n J "t> ,V,,U W4'V' ' 4 WWWV V..?v? ( mote their happiness and prosperity. Lieutenant-Governor Kennedy presides over their deliberations with grace, dignity, and impartiality. Already muttering!) of the next campaign are heard, and the friends of tiie candidates are pushing the claims of their favorites forward with great energy. We heard it intimated that there was some probability of requesting Senator Butler to resign his seat, and enter the next Gubernatorial race, while others hinted that a dark horse would come in and bear off the prize from both of the avowed - I eadidatcs for Governor. The general impression is that Speaker Sheppard will be the next Lieutenant-Governor. In view of the expected early adjournment of the Legislature and the great # number of bills on the calendar it is hardly ex peel t'd that the bill in regard to the trial justices of this County will 1 I . * "- ui una sv'ssiuu, mm m.-iu what wo could gather, our own opinion is that it will be smothered in a pigeon hole, and consigned to the tomb of (lie Capulets. Our delegation are all comfortably quartered, they are practical business men ever on thealert for any measures tliateflwcs our people, willing to |d<> what they think is for their best interests, ami always cheerfully doing what they can for their constituents. We return our thanks to Senator Maxwell and Representative Nell for courtesies extended and kindness shown us on our trip. Xol a Candidate. The Barnwell People, a few weeks ago, did the senior editor of the Press and Banner, the honor of nominating him for the office cf Secretary of State, and several brethren of the press have seconded the nomination in worns 01 compliment anu t .\itimvc of good feeling towards him personally. As words of kindness in friendship and approval are more precious ihan rubies, we have heretofore transferred some of these notices to our columns and this week we present others. This is not done with any view of creating the impression that we would be a candidate for the office, but in order that we might preserve and present to our readers their expressions of favor and compliment. In acknowledgment of the evidences of friendship and esteem which first prompted the nomination, and in . uttering our assurances of our hearty appreciation of the kindly expressions iu seconding the same, we make outmost profound bow, while saying that we have no political aspirations whatever. If we can be of any service to the people of (he State, it shall be in the endeavor to furnish them with as good a newspaper as it is possible for us to make. As editor we can serve the* people better than we could as Secretary of State, and in the former position we hope to serve them for many years yet to come. Reeking no oflice, and believing that the people prefer an honest expression of opinion, (even if that opinion conflicts with their own.) to any attempt to follow public current, we shall with due deference to others, say whatever we believe to be right, and then furnish the reasons for the faith that is in us. Again thanking the brethren for the honor which they have conferred, we would say that our only aspirations are, to publish a good newspaper. To be the editor of such a paper is to attain a higher honor than any which cau be conferred on any citizen at the ballot-box or elsewhere. The County of Berkley. The Legislature has about completed the work of dividing Charleston county. The portion detached from Charleston is to be called Berkley county. We are inclined to think this a good move. J-roni tiie primeu reports in the newspapers, of the Jaw in reference to the pay of trial justices for Abbeville county, we are inclined to the opinion that it will become a law. While the fees of the office will not be sufficient to enable a trial justice to make a living out of the office, the public will be greatly the gainer. Jiy the new law, which will save this county a large expense, no trial justice has the daily temptation before him to ^ become a public nuisance. If old officers should resign, new ones will take their places, or heller still, if successors ca:inot be found, their offices will be closed. With this stale of affairs the public will breath freer?and cheaper. All the trifling business of our Circuit Courts come from the trial justices as the natural place for the commencement of such work. The present iniquitous laws are such that the most circumspect citizen can scarcely keep out of the meshes of the law. W e - thiuk it about.time for our Legislature to adjourn. Small Pox?Vaccination. ( In another part of the Press and Banner we' copy sonic articles 011 the subject of Vaccination, and commend the same to the attention Of our readers. As the small pox is scattered to every quarter of tiiis country, it would ^ i e nothing hut common prudence to j piovide against the appearance of this disease in our own locality. In urging the importance of vaccination, we would also warn on:' people as to the necessity of the greatest caution in ( getting the beat virus. Get the matter only from the druggist in whom you ^ have the most implicit confidence,and < under no vircumstancc vaccinate your- " .elf with a scab from the person of a j neighbor, nor allow any physician, i under any assurances whatever, to in- f duce you to take the risk of poisoning , your blood for life. Theonly safe rule I is to use the virus taken from the cow. ! While a few physicians may he in t 1 doubt as to the fact, yet a large pro- 1 nortion of the intelligent medico I fra- ] tornity fear evil results from vaccina- t lion with scabs of the sores taken ' from nnscund persons. For instance, t the scab i? u formation from the blood, and is made up from all that is in it, j; and if taken from the arm of a person j a til ict ed with scrofula, consumption, t diphtheria, any syphilitic taint, J or other blood-poisoning, these dis- ( I eases are transferred to the person so j1 vaccinated with the same certainty [j ; that these afflictions are transmitted < ! from parent to child. Than this there j lean be no subject of greater Import- ( ! ance. Far belter would it be to sutler s an attack of this fcarfnl malady thai) j j to be inoculated with scrofula, con- i sumption, syphilis, or other incurable J blood-poisoning. Pure virus may he obtained and the 1 same inserted in the arm at a very J small cost. It would, therefore, be the ] utmost follv, o'l the score of economy, j ! to run the slightest risk of contamina* < jtin? the blood. Allow only phvsi-|i I cians whom you know to possess the j j i virus, to vaccinate you. To suffer IJ i yourself to be vaccinated from the|< ' scab of a child, even though to all ap- J J | pea ran cos it may be perfectly sound,!; is to take a risk which no intelligent > sensible man need incur. ??? , Isn't it Time to Adjourn! < We are of opinion that the Legisla- i ture should adjourn at once. They are J floundering about and doing every , j conceivable thing which they should JI not do, and leaving undone those!1 things which they should do. The L ' registration bill will likely become a < ! law. The general stock law will have J , to be revised or tne Democratic party j; | will suffer. All the talk about linker-j j j ing with the Constitution has had on-j. i ly the effect of creating distrust in < the minds of the voter. The constant j and never-ceasing efforts to make fat offices for superanuated old fossils 1 does nothinir to satisfy the public of ' any desire to fulfill the oft-repeated ji j pledgeof (he party to reduce the nuni-^1 berof offices. Our Courts are an in- , j tolerable burthen, which will increase i | our couuty.taxes about fifty per cent., ( and yet no man proposes to relieve us. 11 j The codification of the laws goon by 1 j gas light by a slim house, after the ! members have spent the day in effect-;; j tive work at scuttling the ship. With j j these faots before our eye?, we see noj, i earthly use of keeping up the show. I anyjlonger. Come home, gentlemen, j; j We already have enough laws on ourj j books?such as they are. "While the ] expense of continuing the session is! I an item, yet it is nothing when com-j pared to the hurtful legislation which 1 is going on. . . Tjiose of our young friends who i have a plethera of ready cash, and j know not how to dispose of it to the I best advantage, may rer.d with profit : the article from the JVtw York Sun on j ! the subject of the matrimonial lottery. ( All young gentlemen who expect to I pool their money and draw out more j than they put in, wubld do well to ! study that article. An, old gentleman j 1 came to this town last week looking fori : gudgeons to form a lodge in this town.:! : PAY T1IE TOLL TAX OR GO TO j JAIL. I ! The Senate Passes the Obnoxious Bill | Aftet a Spirited Fight. [ yews and OourkT.] Coi.r.MWA, January 18.?In the Senate to-day Hie only discussion of any public i importance catnc up on the tinal reading j {of ihe bill to provide for the belter ' enforcement of the poll tax. Attera brief but spirited light the bill passed. Mr. Callison moved tl at the enacting j clause of the bill be stricken out. Mr. ; Sickling seconded the motion. ' ! Mr. Callison thought that the bill \v:\s harsh and exacting, that it savored of in-! I humanity, and that he could not and i would not yote to imprison any man be- ] , cause he was unable to pay a"tax of one j dollar for the education of another poor man's child. Ho loved liberty for the ' | sake or liberty, Jie worsinppeu at ner j shrine, and lie would uot vote lor any law i that would infringe upon the rights and I J liberties of the people. The bill before , the Senate was wrung in principle and I wrong in economy. Mr. Hendei'son said that the bill makes ! no new penalty, it takes the poll tax as it ' found it, and took the same penalty pro vided for the non-payment of the tax as contained in the Act of 1H77. The object! of the biil is to simplify the enforcement i : of the poll tax and make its collection | I easier. If the Constitution says we shall have a poll tax its collection should be enforced. The public schools of tlie State .look to this tax for their support. It would be more childishness to oppose the passage of the bill on any sentimental grounds. It is not calculated to oppress . any manor injure any man. There would be no objection to a reduction of the pen; alties in the bill, its object simply being | j to make the law plain, clear and positive, j Mr. (iaillard was opposed to the passage of the bill as it stood and thought the, ! provision looking to the exemption of; I persons not paying the tax upon the pre- j , sentation of a physiciau's certificate as ai hard and unnecessary measure. If the i j taxpayer is maimed that should bosuflii cicnt to excuso him from paying the tax | without the certificate of a physician, 'which would no doubt cost a great deal j ; more than the taxpayer is able to pay. \ This was a matter that might bo safely i left to the county commissioners or the treasurers or auditors of the different i counties. j Mr. SinytT e opposed the bill. The pen- j 1 alty of imi i is >nment is put upon no oth-. er tax that the Legislature levies. If. there should be imprisonment for the i non-payment of the poll tax ttiere should ' i also be Imprisonment for the failure to I pay any ami an otner tuxes, u wmim ue , unjust to provide so severe a punishment | ! for the failure to pay this tax when the failure to pay any other tax is not visited j with the same penalties. ! ij Messrs. Wylie and Ilarllee supported; .the bill, giving their reasons at some; j length. I The vote was then taken on the motion i to strike out the enacting clauses. Those j | voting in the atliimative were Benbow, I Bossurd, Callison, Gaillard, Kinslcr, Me- j 'Call, McQueen, Miller, J. \V. Moore, | Seigling, Smthye, Williams and Wither- j spoon?12.

Moore, Mvller, Patterson, Perry, Shank- ] ]in and Wylie?18. So the motion was ; defeated. | I Mr. Izlar then moved to strike out the, second section of the bill which provides the penalties, and upon the motion of Mr. j i Henderson to indefinitely postpone the motion to strike out the' yeas and nays j Were demanded with the following re-j suit: . I '1 hose voting in the aflirmativo werei Beatty, Bradley, Brown, Coker, Cray ton, j Vonm'ison. Gaiilard. Ilarllee, Henderson, Larligue, Maxwell, McQueen, T. J.

The bill finally passed ."tier i;mending , the sccoiul section so as to read as follows : Ski-. 2. Should any person Ii.il or refuse 1 t to pay said poll tax he shall he deemed A I guilty of a mi.-dcmcanor, and, on conviction thereof before any trial justice or ' other Court having jurisdiction of the same, shall be punished by a lire which j shall not cxceed five dollars, together t willi costs of said suit, or by imprison- t i ment in the county jail for a term not e.\- 1 I ceeding live days, and the sentence may ] j be imposed in the alternative. * j I Charleston and the West. ? i HE TKIK LINE EROM TliE COAST TO CINCINNATI.

He is largely interested in the valuable coal and iroii deposits ?f the Cumberland (Jap country, and has lone much to advance the interests of;' he new railroad. Col. Campbell has for < hirty years been engaged in railroad af- ' airs, and for nine years was connected < ivith the Marietta anil Cincinnati Railroad ' us purchasing agent. He is nowheioas ' ho representative of Messrs. Child tfc ' )liver, of New York, who in turn repre- 1 sent a syndicate of capitalists. I called ' m him this morning and secured the ful-;' owing interesting facts about the road | tvhich promises to do so much to develop ! ] he commercial interests.of Charleston j I md the State. Col. Campbell said : j] "We have already concluded a contract j' ,vith the Atlantic and French Broad Yal-1 ] ev Railroad from Edgefield to the North ! Carolina line, distance 120 miles. \Vei< rnve also arranged the preliminaries of a j < lontract with the Aiken, Trenton andi' ICdgefieid Railroad, distance 2-'> miles. |1 Phis gives us a total distance of l")2 miles! I ii Siuiili f?;iriitin;i_ \V? Imvfi illroadv ar- M angcd to extend the 1 "no northwardly |' *roni the .State line across North Carolina]" md East Tennessee into the Kentucky ! ;-oal fields at Cumberland Gap, a distance; < >1' lfSO miles. We propose to build a lino; I roin Cumberland Gap, 43 miles, to con-h ieclions with Louisville and Cincinnati!; railroads, already in active operation. The j > oads with which we will connect are the;' Louisville and Nashville, the Cincinnati i' Southern and the Knoxvillo Central. The 1 intire length of our completed lines, < reaching from tho Kentncky railroad con- ' lections to Aiken, South Carolina, where j1 kve will conncet with the South Carolina!' Railway, will be 375 miles, forming theji diortest possible line that ever can be J' iuiilt from the South Carolina coast to tho < jrcat Northwest, This line traverses a 1 ^really diversified counttv. opening uph the finest and most extensive coal fields j: in the Continent, disccting every known | rariety of iron ore, developing the rich ; marble deposits or Tennessee and ner; due, lead and copper mines, furnishing j m outlet for the timbered wealth of aj hitherto undeveloped region of country, i and supplying the Northwest with an j ?asy route to the South Atlantic coast and the ports of Europe and the world. The continuation of this road, or lines of road, will bring the coal-fields of Cumberland ] Gap nearer'to Charleston than any other! coal fields, and will make Charleston one nf the most important and cheapest coaling stations on the Atlantic coast. It is estimated that the coal traffic alone of the road will fully justify the building of the road and pay the interest on the capital invested. Being the shortest line to the Northwest this road will also furnish the cheapest and easiest line of transportation for the grain and products of the country through which it passes and from the great Northwest ^eynnd. "The line completed, Charleston will be nble to compete successfully with the Baltimore and the Northern markets. Charleston is nearer bj* live to six hundred miles than any other importing city in the Union to tho coffee growing regions and the sugar producing countries mid to the rice fields of the world. With the proper improvement of the entrance to her harbor and the cheap coal that this road will beableto lay down at her docks to supply outgoing steamers with fuel, fchd beihg tiieisliorlest posible litie to the [Train fields of the Northwest, it is contiilently believed that the groceries to supply tho Northwest will hereafter be largely imported by Charleston houses. "Another most important branch of business that will be developed is the trade in yellow "pino lumber for which there is a constantly increasing demand among tho car builders throughout the entire North. "The road can bo constructed at a moderate cost, not exceeding a total cost per mile of 535,000. This includes the road completed and ready for business. There are no grades in* the line over seventy-five leet to the mile, "The conditions of the contract which | has been made with the Atlantic and French liroad Road are that Child &' Oliver, who represent an independent! syndicate of capitalistr, complete the road by the 31st of December, 1S84. They expect to complete the entire line of 375 miles by that time. It will take some tune to complete the consolidation of the several roads of which this line will be composed, but active work will be begun j in a very short time. Until theconsolidation is completed tho work of constructing tho French Broad Road will proceed under the old dt rent ion. ot the entire] line something over lifty miles have been graded." J. C.

My Dear Harlow:? 1 have yours of the l">th inst., and have no objection whatever to give you all the' nforniation I possess on the subject of i Confederate bonds, which some specula- j ors on the stock exchange have made the ] subject of inquiry, on a rumor sedulous- j, y sp ead abroad "that there are vast sums j ieposited in the Dank of England and! ilsewliere in Europe. The Confederate government never had but two means of raising money In Europe; one was by he export of cotton, all ol which was onsigned to the house of Frazier, Trenlolm A Co., of Livorpool; the other was jy a loan efleeted through Messrs. Erlau-1 ;er ct Co., and Schroder <fc Co., the pro- | !ocds of which were all received by Colin : I. MacKae, tinnncial agent of the govern-j nent. At the close of the war thg Uni-' ed States government claiming the right! i o receive the entire assets of the Coui'eJ-1 irate government instituted suits against! frazier, Trenholin tt Co.. and against MacRae. After determined and pre-! racted litigation Frazier twnlmlm a-' Jo., were driven into bankruptcy, asj heir whole business was destroyed", and | heir credit broken by the apprehensions ;i :reated in the mercautile world of the re-j suit of the enormous claims hanging ji )ver them, when they really owned little i )r nothing, and I think the United Slates j iltiinatcly recovered a few thousand dol-| ars as a compromise. Macltac proved in ; lis ease that he had rendered full audi aithful account to tho Confederate gov-: ;rmnent of tho entire proceeds of thej< oan in payment of supplies and muni-:: ions of war to various commissariat and piaster masters, officers in this country: iwl of coupons on bonds, but lie was | eady to render his accounts over again f the United States would agree to reim-l turse him any balanco found due in his| avor. This was declined. Tho case isj reported in law reports 8 10. (!. 09.

'opnlar Prejudice?Prevalence of the Disease Due to Ignorance?Dr. Bayfe Points Ont the Great Saving of Life From the Use of Vaccine?How to Eradicate the Disease. The spread of smallpox through the iountry and tlio many deaths that have esulted and are oeeuring everyday have concentrated public attention to such a lejjree that the old discussion has been ousciUited as to the value of vaccinaion. Very many people are careless in his matter, because they have been told t was riovalueas a guard against the conation, and others neglect it from all idea hat vaccination is one of those antiquat- ] d practices that originated in remote, iges, and should now be relegated to tho iimplfl minded and superstitious. Cer.rtnrlir-ll 11 ract i t ioiierS IlAVf! I (tin uiiimua ??* mviuv... r. >cen industrious in promulgating these lotions, apparently with no better motive liuu opposition to well-established ousom. People who have neither the time lor the inclination to inquire into the subject accept a mere passing dictum in J dace of ol.l and respectable authority,! iiul, unfortunately, others and too often nnocent persons bocomo the sufferers. I'o heli) the doubting to a thorough understanding of the question and to put ho'oro everybody the best knowledge pro-1 urable, a reporter of tho New York Herald called on Dr. Lewis A. Say re yesterday and obtained his views. Dr. Say re was resident physicians if tho* city of New York twenty rears ago, and is, therefore, an authority ipon a subject he treats with so much ibilily. MISLEADING PHYSICIANS. The reporter found Dr. Sayre in his dBce on Filth avenue, and as soon as lie explained tho nature of his business the >urgeon said : "tilad to see you ; sit lown. Smallpox? I have been thinking i good deal of it, seeing tho reports from ill over the country. Do you know I liavc often thought it would bo a good thingif this city was scourged to tho very lieart with that discse to teach the pcopfg heir duty ? Nothing else will overdo it. Nothing. A lot of these new fangled phantom physician-; have been telling them pretty stories and the foolish people have taken them lor truth. They will find too late that tliej' aro like the practitioners?phantoms. The man who itniw fn discus* vaccination with anv :>ther view than to insist on it emphatically is an idler. I will show you some the reasons why, and let tho readers of Lhc Herald judge for themselves. From tho most careful study of statistcs and of ilia opinion and experiences of the most icknowlegcd authorities, physicians have Co me to tho positive conclusion that smallpox is capable of being entirely a radicated from any community by a proper and presistent system of universal And repeated vaccination. From tho vcar 1798 (when the the immortal Jenner announced to the world his great discovery) to the present time facts have been "constantly accumulating for the elucidation of tho most univorsally acjcpted truth ever demonstrated by tho science of medicine, and that is that vaccination, when properly performed, is a certain and perfect protection against smallpox. Now, there s the point. Hammer that in as hard as ever you can. Vaccination, when properly performed, is a certain and perfect protection against smallpox, I repeat. That was my opinion twenty years ago, and all I liavo heard, read and seen since then strengthens that opinion. I urged compulsory vaccination then, I urge it to-day with tho accumulated force of twenty years' additional experience." ONE DEATH IX EIGHT THOUSAND VACCINATIONS. Dr. tt'iyre took up some memoranda 1,1? i-uCai-rinn tn (lw.m easionally, went on in un earnest, impressive manner ' "In 1827 a most malignant and fatal epidemic of smallpox raged in Philadelphia. Urs. Cox, Condie and Meigs, of the committee of the Medical Soeiety ol that city, report that but one?now yon ought to repeat that 'one'seveial times to fasten it in the people's mind?but one well ascertained death from that disease among 8,000 vaccinated persons came to the knowledge of the committee. Let the phantom physicians take up that point and consider it. Drs. IJcll and Mitchell report that of 240 esses of variola and varioloid tested at the smallpox hospital, 155 wore unprotected by vaccination, ol whom eighty-five died ; nine were inocculated, of three died, and sixty-three had been vaccinated, of whom but a single one died. Thcro is unotLcr good place to pause." Reporter?With regard to the frequency of vaccination, Doctor, in the same person ? "I am coming to that. I have shown that it is abundantly proved that, vaccination will prevent smallpox, and now I must say it is generally admitted that its protective inlluenco is not of life-long duration. It diminishes in proportion to tho lapse of time from vaccination, until it has boon several times repeated, or until the system has been so thoroughly infected with the vaccine poison that it will then as a permanent protection equally as well as the person had suffered irom tno smaiipox iisuu. RE VACCINATION. "A very good authority, Dr. O. 13, Wood, says that 'it cannot now ne denied that a single vaccination does not afford tho pernianeut security it was supposed to do. Probably nearly one-half of those vaccinated successfully are liable to more or loss effect from the variohis contagion, though it is asserted than wiien the operation performed with fouro more insertions instead of one the proportion of protection is much greater. Now, again, Mr, Simon, in his famous report, says that lie was much struck v. ith tho fact that persons who had been vaccinated years before, and who during this interval, had perhaps repeatedly resisted smallpox, would at length, in a certain proportion cf their number, yield to smallpox." Reporter?Was this observed at any time ? I)r. Say re?Yes; it most frequently happens during the times when smallpox was soverly epidemic among the unvaccinated, and when larne masses ol persons with vaccination of many years were exposed to tho test of a strong epidemic influence. Under this ordeal it became evident that for sorno vaccinated persons the insusceptibility conferred by cowpox was not of life-long duration, and from a careful analysis of cases it was shown tliat tins iessoncci security 01 certain vaccinated persons bore at least some proportion to the number of years which in each ease had elapsed since vaccination, but there were not materials to prove any uniform rate of increase, from year to year, and the increase, such as it was, apparently continued up to thirty years ol age, alter which period it seemed that the liability to contract smallpox underwent a continuous decline. Look After the Implements. [ Gcrmantomi Telegraph.] As winter approaches we cannot refrain from saying that the careful thoughtful farmer never allows his ploughs, harrows, cultivators, mowing and reaping machines, hay-tedders, niid other imnlemcnts and machinery, to be exposetl tc the weather, or where they can be damaged by fowls or stock. Ho provides n covered place for thein all where the rains and snows cannot penetrate, with either board llooriug or placed upon scantling to raise them from the ground. Such ry>rtions of the iron likely to rust should be painted over slightly with any cheap oil paint, and it will add to the preservation and appearance of all implements and machinery, especially if the woodwork is also painted. When this is inconvenient the iron should bo cleaned of dirt and greased with pieces of fat pork. They should also be put in good repair in the winter, in order to be ready for operating when needed in the spring. Leaving this repairing until another season opens frequently causes damaging dciays, which uiinnlil ;il\v!iv? lir> nrovided against. There is notjiing like being always ready with llieso tilings for any emergency. All ordinary wooden repairing ought to be done by the farmer and his hands during the rainy days and in the winter, when there is plenty of timoon hand for that purpose. Every part of a wheelbarrow, except the wheel, ought to be made on the premises; new forks and handles nf iron rakes, repairing even some portions of the farm machinery, building of garden and yard fences, repairing roofs, building ol corn-cribs, hog pens, wagon iind cart shelvings, making the frames o! hot-bedk, all the many jobs constantly requiring to bo done nhout a well-conducted place too numerous to mention. A person becomes very bamly in the use ol good tools alter a short experience, and saves many a dollar, without consuming any time necessary lor the usual demands of the farm.

Disturbing Elements in the Political Field?Views of a State Senator. 1 {Spccial to the Baltimore Sun.) Washington', January 15.?It is ?n- J derstood that there is now being organ- ! ized in Washington by certain well- , known gentlemen from Xorth Carolina a movement looking to a coalition of disaf- j lected Democrats wilh the Republicans \ For tho pnrpeso of defeating the regular Democratic organization, and, so to *pcak, Mahonoi/.ing tho State, thereby soeuringan Independent element in Congressional district that are largely Antii\rAhil?ltwvM u'lildK ?? ?!! v/tunlt in rt!<nl;ir: I | "ii'vmwi,, " "??? w?..v | ing certain Democratic Congressmen and j .securing also a United States Senator next winter when the Legislature meets. | That there is a movement of that kind on hand docs not seem to admit of a doubt. Several of the gentlemen interested in it are here, and certain conferences are reJ ported to have been held with the President and others high in authority. The I wholo matter is attracting much attention here among leading politicians of both parties, as some such movement has been anticipated evoi since the Virginia election. WHAT A STATU SKN'ATOU SAID. State Senator John N. Naples, of North Carolina, ono of the leading Democrats and a man of liberal and progressive ideas, in conversation with your correspondent to-day, gave the following interesting account of the situation. Ho said: "There can be no such issue raised in North Carolina as that which divided the Democracy of Virginia. The State debt is settled,"and if any legislation on the subject is desirable, it would bo simply an extension of timo for creditors to exchange old bonds for new ones, and in all probability this will be done by the next Legislature. There are questions, however, upon which the people of the State I might be divided, should they bo issues in the next canvass, such as the county government law, the liquor license law. the railroad question, and perhaps tariff I issues. It is very likely, however, that | these will not be" live questions during j i the noxt canvass. NEOliSS.VnY LEGISLATION. "Tho Legislature at its special session [ this winter in all probability will legislate jon these questions to the entire satisfaction of tho people of both parties. My own opinion is that the county government law wil ho repealed ; the option given to county commissioners on the license questions will also be repealed. A bill to provide lor a railroad commission to revise freightand passenger tariffs j and protect the people from alleged abuses will be passed, and certain other legislation looking to tho protection of North Carolina industries will engage tho Assembly. "I do not believe either party wants tho State tc mix up again in building railing railroads, and I am satisfied tho pooI pie by a large majority would oppose any interference with any corporation or set of men who have tho ability and tho determination to construct the Western North Carolina Railroad. Tho western people want tho road, the eastern people do not want to be taxed further to build it, henco both sections will ho satisfied if the road is built without cost to tho .State. MANUFACTURES TO BE EN'COUHAOED. "It isthe policy of the conservative element of tho Democratic partv to throw no obstacles in tho way of capital invested in the Stato, from whatever quarter ; but on the contrary, to invite it, and protect it when it comes. It is also tho policy, as I believe, of the Democratic party to protect North Carolina industries and manufactories, and the State will claim the protection for her industries that has boon j extended to New England. In twenty : live years from now the spindles of Now | EngUnd will be humming on the eastern slope of the HI tie Itidgo in North Carolina, where the water power is sufficient to . turn all Hie wheels in New England. "The Stato has taken a new departure lately, and the gentlemen who control the State affairs are progressive men, and believe in taking the State out of its old 1 ruts and putting her on a different footing oefore the world than tho position she j has formerly occupied. Under the management of .Mr. McGehn, commissioner of agriculture, and the aid of the Governor, and the Richmond and Danville . Railroad, North Carolina has been more prominently brought before the world within the past three weeks than in all of 1 her past history. Her mineral, agricultural manufacturing and forest wealth has been brought before them at Atlanta, and the result will show a greater increase in i wealth and population in North Carolina j in ten years than any other State. "If the Democracy are true to the great interests of the Stato and tho rights of the people no Mahone movement can succeed in North Carolina." THK YOUJ'O DEMOCRACY. Some of those engaged in the move1 ment for a coalition of the independent , Democrats and Republicans in North , Carolina are of the young Democracy. The burden of their complaint is similar to that of young Democrats in several 1 other Southern States, that nil the honors and emoluments go to the old stagers, and the young men of the party arc left out in the cold. It seems, however, that on a of , the most prominent of the disaffcited I Democrats has enjoyed high political honors %Thc views given in this correaI pondencc of last night as coming from State Senator Staples, of North Carolina, are believed to be practical and correct. In a publication made here to-day Senator Ransom was credited with the expression that the Democratic party of North Carolina would go to pieces in six mouths. Senator Ransom this afternoon very indignantly disowned giving utterance to any such opinion. Ho said ho had no idea that any Independent moveI m ^nt could succeed in North Carolina, or th.it there was any considerable disaffection in the ranks of the regular Demoe racy. lie Imd no fear of the State being carried next 1V.1I as usual, and of his own re-election to the United States Senate. Trustworthy Corners. (yew York Tribune.) Owners of land, whether in small lots or large, are too apt to lind themselves in difficulty or leave their heirs in trouble for want of permanent ana ineffaceable landmarks showing tho precise location of the corners of their properties. Sometimes a wooden post is planted, which, in ' tho course of years, rots or becomes loose and when looked for cannot be found. Stones set on the surface are by no means safe from displacement. In small lots a fence-post is usually set as exactly as possible on the corner, but these lots often attain a value which makes every inch . a measure of considerable gain or* loss, and there are many uncertain inches in the sectional measure of a fence-post. A largo manufacturer unwittingly put tho wall of a lofty ant: valuable building ovor his line,*beguiled by a displaced mark. His neighbor, a grasping "man of business," took advantage of this to make a conscienceless claim, and great . expense has been incurred already for surveys and legal proceedings without any sett lement being yet made. This lias put other neighbors to looking up and se, j curing their "corners." A good plan lately pursued is to sink in the ground at (under) a corner, a stone of some peculiar i color, from a distant source, with the exact point of tho corner, a stone of some pei culiar color, from a distant source, with tho exact point of the corner on it drilled or chiselled. Another stono is set upon that one, which reaches above the surface as an indicator or finder. If it is a fence corner, a post is set on each line three or four feet from the corner, and the rails extend to a sham post which nnnn tlio indicating or surface stone, and is hold tirmly by (ho rails. I This leaves all tidy and perfectly sale and precise. Tho winter season, during i rniJd weather, is a favorable time lor thus | securing tho boundary. The Latest Absurdity. [ Winsboro Nciwt and South.] I Opponents to higher education have : raised the cry that it is a scheme to boneI lit the rich at the expense of tho poor, j Let us look into this charge. A two mill ] tax for public schools moans two dollars j on the thousand; and any taxpayer , i who returns less than one thousand dolj lars pays, exclusive 01:' poll-tax, less than ; two dollars a year for his children's eduIcation. A so-called rich man, owning j fifty thousand dollars, pays a hundred 'j dollars into tho public school fund. Inj eluding poll-tax ho pays a hundred and . one dollars; or two dollars more than j his thirty-three neighbors who return a ' poll ami a thousand dollars each. Thus 1 lie contributes for each of them three dollars (roughly estimating) for school pur| i poses out of"his own pocket, and all for j the irood of the State. Now tho good of itlie State demands also high education. 11 So ten thousand dollars, or one tenth of a I mill, is appropriated for tho college. iT iis talk about the college being for rich j people alone is all gammon, but admit it ('forsake of argument. Here again, the ; rich man pays five dollars for higher education, and each of his neighbors ten rrnls In ntlinr words lie KaVS. "eivO 1110 j buck ten fonts fur my soil out of the | three dollars I have given you for yours, land I shall lie satisfied." Thereupon a i! great howl is raised that the poor tuxs paver is swindled. >i The truth is Hint the college is not iti tended for the rich, hut for the poor who I cannot go abroad and pay high rates. It s will bun benelicient institution for all ( classes; and for its support, as wi?Il as for public schools, the rich man, as > shown above, pays the lion's share of Hie taxes, lJut polilieioiM need soincshib, bolelh to mystify the ignorant.

Executive Committee State Board of Health, Columbia, S. C., January 20, 1882. In view of the fact that thd smallpo* lias appeared in the State, ttnd Ifro probability' of an epidemic of it {hvading, at rtn narly period, this State, as it hits already fjonc, in its epidemic character, several of the Northern, Western and Middle Stales; und in view of the probability of this disease springing up in distinct "and separate centres, which from the increased travel and the reception of those who have come j from, or passed through, the numerous' localities now infected, the Executive' Committee of the State Board of Health have thought it advisable to issue this cir-! cular with the object of specially direct-1 Hie nUention of the neonle and the' medical profession to tlio danger which j threatens, so tlint a mitigation oranitn-i mnnity from an attack of this loathsome and fatal disease may be secured. The Executive Committee of the State Board of Health, thou, urgnnpon the people the necessity of vaccination, both for adults and children. They urge upon the people the great advisability of the revaccination of all those who have not been vaccinated within fourteen years. They urge upon the people the advisa-j bilitv of the revaccination of every one who docs not bear upon the person a dis-1 tinctly marked typical scar. They especially urgo the need of immediate vaccination. Tho Board would emphatically advise the members of tho medical profession | within this State at once to procure from some well established and reliable vaccine bureau or vaccine farm, as E. L. Griffin, M. D., Fond du Lac, Wisconsin; from Caswell, Ilazzard <fc Co.. Now York ; or from Codman & Shurtlert, N. Y., through the mail, asulllciency of animal virus to vaccinate several persons, as a beginning, and to use the virus as soon as it is obtained. (The cost of tho virus is about one dollar for every ten points.) Tho committee-suggest to the apothecaries the advisability of procuring at intervals a fresh supply and retailing these virus points. That virus be taken from a fresh pustule, and tho people bo urged to have vaccination performed by a physi clan, who can jitflge 01 ino condition 01 the pustule; and that he he requested not to uso virus taken from adults, but use that from healthy, well-nourished infants who had not been previously vaccinated. The Executive Committee'of the State Board of Health would also recommend that each incorporated city, town and village, at once appoint a public vaccinator. That it procure a small amount of vaccine, say at an expenditure of five dollars. That it should obtain this at once through the mail. That these corporations appoint two hours each day during which vaccination can bo performed gratuitously. That the several Boards of County Commissioners and Boards of control of all Penal and Charitable Institutions in the State bo requested to have those under their control at once vaccinated. That the sub-boards urge upon the authorities in their neighborlnods the necessity of general vaccination. Smallpox being a contagious disease it is very important that every case be promptly reported to the nearest SubHoard of Health. The Sub Board should, with the physician in charge of the case, co-oporato for its restriction. The patient should bo isolated as much as possible from all other persons, and ishould alone occupy a room in which an unnecessary furniture has been removed. The house should be specially designaj ted by some conspicuous placard being placed upon it. Upon the recovery or death of the smallpox patienttheroom should be thoroughly disinfected. No person recovering from smallpox should bo permitted to appear in public until his person and clothing has been disinfected and he be provided with a certillcato from the attending physician that all danger from contagion has been passed. Every person dying of smallpox should [ be thoroughly washed with a zinc soluI tion, (sulphato of zinc, 4 oz.; common sail, 4 oz.; water, I gallon,) wrapped in a sheet wot with the solution of zinc, placed in a light ooltin and buried immediately. The clothing, towels, bed clothing, etc., should at once, before being taken from the room, be placed in a tub of the solution of chloride of zinc. All discharges should either lie rccievcd in vessels containing a copperas solution, copperas, i lb.; hot water, 1 gallon,) or should be immediately covered with tho copperas solution. The room, upon the death or recovery i of the patient, sliotiki do at once vaoaieu. ; It should then be fumigated. The room should ho closed as tightly as ! possible; sulphur, about 4 lbs., placed in | an iron pan supported upon bricks placed j in a wash-tub containing a littlo water, j The sulphur should no set on lire by hot coals, or by the aid of a spoonful of alcoj hoi, and the room closed for twenty-four hours. It is best to burn all articles which have been in contact with persons sick with j the smallpox. If the articles are too val; uablo to be destroyed, those of cotton, ! linen, woolen, as thin blankets, etc., (should be treated with the boiline-hot solution of zinc, introducing piece by piece and boiling for at least half an hour. Heavy woolen clothing; silk, furs, stutled bed-covers, beds and other articles which cannot be treated with the zinc solution, should be hung in the room during fumigation, their surfaces thoroughly exposed, anil pockets being turned inside out; afterwards they should be exposed in the open air, beaten and shaken. Pillows, beds, stutled mattresses, upholstered furniture, etc., should be cut open, the contents spread out and thoroughly fumigated. Carpets arc best fumigated on tin tloor, but should afterwards be removed to theopen air and thoroughly beaten. The Smallpox in Chicago. Chicago, January 19.?Dr. DcWolf, l health commissioner of this city, says that unless the people protect themselves by vaccination smallpox will be rauipanl here and not a man, woman or child will be safe. Chicago has enough cases of its own, but neighboring towns and State; are doing their best to increase them Yesterday seven tramps, broken out ami I covered with the filthy disease, came from I other cities and walked into the hcaltli [ ollice.
