The Democratic members presented ? following paper : Upon passing the' Bill relative to boncw of the State of South Carolin: ita third reading, we rote " No" upon i ry section and line, for tho following eon?*: Under this Bill a tax ot six mills addition to all other tsjees, must be le' to pay the interest on the amount of Si debt as reported by the Treasurer.

This amounted in the aggregate totwenty-i mills, which our people cannot pay, which cannot be necessary for any le-: mate purposes of an honest governm Bowdan, if the stocks and bond? ben " fort-siasued, the total amount of which en unknown quantity, were issued in n formity to, and by the authority of li already passed, then they are already gal, and need no further law to valid them. If they were not issued by autl itv of law then they should not be m legal by the rasage of this Bill. A maud fer a Bili to declare the bouda < .tocks already issued legal is a clear c lesaion that ai of them are not leg which is further confirmed by the pro etona of the Bill, which exonerates the fleers who issued them from all legal r ponsibility for any violation of law a good faith, of which they may have be guilty. Hence, we solemnly protest, the name of the people, against the pi sage of a Bill which we hold to bf- unr cMsary, unjust and burdensome, and to t people we will appeal directly. Signed by J. E.

Social F.vila Stare Us lathe Face. .The seeds of terrible social immorali ties aro taking root throughout the coun try ; aqd f yen the high-toned South is becoming infected with the dangerous dhtoasa. In Baltimore, an Old. and dis tinguished Methodist clergyman, Dr. Huston, has trodden " thc p ri m rose path of dalliance,' ' and, in shame and sorrow, has laid down his holy commission und given up his Church-a most lamentable caso, and one which attracts universa attention. And in Kingston, N. Y., a few day? ago, the body ?-of Miss Ida Van Steen burg, a rich heiress, and a beautiful and aoeomplished' young girl of the highest class, was brought from New York, whither she had been ou a visit, and aftor being lodged for a few hours at the house of a butcher, was buried-by unknown men who accompaniAd it-without the presence or knowlodge of her friends. An Investigation has bean ordered, and it is thought a lamentably dark affair will be unfolded to the world. Confidence in common honor and hu man Integrity weakens every day. These things should not be in a moral Christian land. It is the business of the sound moralist and tho Christian citizen ta make every day crusades, against tho social evils that blast the good name or mt) num.-il 18 mu uuty nruiar] great power the Press to preach and tight f against evils BO damning in their resulta. If the editors, and the preachers, and the moralists all take up the cudgels at once in opposition, wo think there will'soon come amelioration and new life.

Seualor, to represent the lOtk District of j Georgia in the General Assembly, is de^ cidodly another piece of good luck. Col. Stylos is editor of the Albany Weekly ?far?, and his Senatorial District consists of the Counties of Dougherty, Lee and Worth. His majority over his opponent was m-ire than live hundred. Col.

The v?ry first thing to he done is to cleanse Uip-stomach and bowels from ail diseased mucus nod slims, which ls clogging these organs so that I hey cannot perform their functions, and then .rouse up and rc-to re thc liver to a healthy action. For this purpose trig surest and best remedy ls Brhrnck'a Mandrake rills.

It Ia then, hy the great healing and puriivln? properties of Sehen?'* Pulmonlc Syrup, that all ulcers and cavities are healed up sound, and my patient ix cured. The essential thing to he done In curing Con sumption is to get up a good appetite and a good digestion, so tliAt thc Uodywlll grow In flesh and Ret strong. If a person has uUeused lungada cavity or ariscesrt mere,-the cavity cannot heal, the matter cannot rip^n, so long as the system ls below par. what ls necessary to cure ts a new order of iblngs,-a gund nj.petite, a good nutrition, the body tn grow In neall end get fat ; then Nature Lc helped, tho cavities will heal, tbe-matter will ripen aua be .brown off in targe quantities, and tue person regain health und strength. Thu, ls the l rue 'and )uly ulun tu Cure Consumption, and If a person is rory had. tf the lungs are not entirely destroyed, ir even if one lung ls entirely gone. If there ls mongh vitality left Tn the other to heal np, there is ?iope. I have seen many persons cured with only one 'ound lung, live and enjoy life to a rood old age. I'lilS ls what Schenck's >feoJc!r.es will do to cure .'onsumptlon. They will clean -out the stomach, iwreten und strengthen it, get up a good digestion, md jrlre. Nature the assistance she needs to clear .he system of all tho disease that Is In the lungs, vhatever the form may be. It ls important that while cslnj Schenck's Hcdl :rnes?care should be exercised not to take cold: ?eon, lr.-dnors in cold and damp weather: avoid light air. aud take out-door exercise only la a genial and warm sunshine. I wish lt distinctly understood that when I recom nend a patient to be careful in regard to.taking aid, while using my Medicines, I do so for a special .ciison. A man wno has but. partially recovered rom the effects of a bad cold ls far more liable to I relapse than one who has been entirely cured; ind lt ls proctaaly the sr.me In regard to Conaump lon. 8o long as the lungs are not perfectly bealed, ast so long is there Imminent dooger-of & fulLre urn of the disease. Hones lt ts that I so atrenu lusty caution pulmonary patients against exposing herasel ves to an atmosphere Chat is not genial and .leosant. Confirm^ ('msumptivos' -lungs are a naxs of sores, which the least chango of atmos ihere will t?llame. The grand secret of my suc es? with my Medicines consists In my ability to ubdue Inflammation instead of provoking It, aa nany of the faculty do. Ar. .nftnmed lune cannot, rlth safety to tho patient, be exposed to the biting lasts of Winter or the chiliin?: winds of Uprlng r Autumn. It sheela be carefully shielded from II Irritating luflnences. The utmost caution tionld be observed In thLs parUeniar, as without: lt cure under almost suiy clrcurosta-cesls np Lmpos iblllty. Thu person should ba kopt on n wholesome and turltlous diet, and all tbe Medicines continued alli the hod v has restored to lithe natural quantity f tlesti and streugtb. Iwan myself cu Md by this treatment of the worst ind of Consumption, and. have lived to get fat and carty these many years, with one lung mostly one. I have cured thousand* since, and very, rany have been cured by this treutmfent whom I ave never seen. . '.
