Legislative Proceeding!). On Tuesday, tho 4th, in the Senate, Whittemoro introduced a bill44 relating to certain . bonds ol'the State of Sooth Carolina illegally issued." There is a fair-sounding preamble to the bill as follows: Whereas, tho debt of the State of South Carolina has boen in violation of law largely increased ; and, whereas, certain bond) of the State have been ILLEGALLY LSSUJSD, and by tho assumed authority of the financial board of tho State hypothecated for loans, and forfeited tor the non pay ment of said loans at uiatnri'y* and whereas tho General Assembly has beeu convened iu extra session for the con sideration aud adjustment of the entire debt of the Suite, therefore be it enacted, &0. Section 1 ?ii the bill provides that41 alt that part-of the bonded dela of the Stale of South Carolina which, as has been al leged, was hypothecated tbr security for loans by theorder of tho financial board, and forfeited and sohl because of the maturity of said loans, the amount of woich has never been ascertained-the State did not redeem the said bonds koo wm as conversion bonds, which were authorized by an act of the General As sembly, entitled an act for the conversion of State securities, approved March 23d, 1869, but which were not issued in ac .cordance with the provisions of said act In exchangn for other outstanding bonds or stocks of the State, and of which no record of exchange can be found In the office of the State treasurer, amounting in the aggregate to 8?,'K?5,000, bo and the same is herein declared to be in exis tence . WITHOUT WARRANT'OF LAW, aud no provision shall be mado by the General Assembly of this State for the payment of the principal or intermit of any portion of the said l>onds, until the holders thereof shall have established the validity of said bonds and the obliga tions of thc State thereunder. . In reference to this bill of Whittemore's the Columbia correspondent of the yews <i Courier says: '! But none of thc members and none of the outside influential leaders of the parry appear to have any practical or well-digested views as to what should b*? done about the debt, and there seems to be but A .MEAORK PROSPECT of any action bei^g taken which will materially relieve the State from her financial "embarrassments or lighten at all tho present burdensome rate of taxa tion. If they can in any way circumvent the mandamus of the court* and prevent the levy of a tax to pay the interest upon the bonds, as they believe they have al ready done by the act depriving the comptroller of the power to order the rato of the levy, they will probably stop them and leave the debt m statue quo This would, of course, keep the taxes within tho present limits, but they have sb many jobs 'on hand in the way of claims for outstanding and unfunded ob ligations, that the probabilities are that the rate of taxation will be increased largely, even though no provision what ever should be made tor the payment of interest on the bonds." A resolution was adopted, unanimous ly, requesting the Governor to send in immediately for confirmation all appoint merits made since the last session. A good deal of bud blood was manifested against the Governor on account of his appointments. The following bills wore ratified: A bill to incorporate the Pleasant Hill Bap tist Church, of Edgefield. A bill to in corporate the Reform Apollo Society, of Charleston. A joint resolution to confer certain powers on Mrs. S. M. McBride. A bill to renew and amend tho charter of the Home Insurance Company, of Char leston. A bill to charter Kirby's Cross roads, in Marion County, and a bill to incorporate certain Presbyterian church es in Sumter County. A bill to recharter WhitoHall Ferry in Beaufort County, was passed to a third reading. In the House, the calendar was defer red, and nothing worth mention was done in the way of regular business, the House soon going into a committee of tho whole on the decision of the Supreme Court concerning the bills of the Bank of the State._Thagrpare*fc-jauifusiou and eon- i sternation was manifested by the leaders of the party. Speeches were made by Hnrley, Bowloy, Boston and others. They all predict thc utter ruiu of the State and disruption of the Republican party unless something can be done to contravene the decision. They say there are probably two or three millions of the bills out, and that the government cannot possibly be run if they are made receivable for taxes. Sperry, colored, of Georgetown, intro duced a resolution that a joint committee be appointed to investigate the matter, | and find out just how many of the bills of the State were ont; for, in his judg ment, unless something of that .sort be done there was no telling how many of the bills might not be issued now, after the decision had. been published. J. D. Boston, colored, of Newberry, saw no good in thc resolution of Sperry, The question with him was not so much the number of tho bills out, but what was to 1H> done to save tho party, even though only a million dollars of the bills were on the market. He was overpow ered with despondency when he reflect ed upon tho dangers of the situation. Here, says he, we have already a floating debt, a bonded debt and a high rate of taxation, which would tax the skill of the ablest financiers to grapple with, and here comes the Supremo Court of the na tion and kills the last hope of the Repub lican party. He felt that the decision was a dagger's thrust at the Republican party, and did not believe that it would ever have been rendered but for the fact that the colored people had entire con trol of the State, and their enemies want ed to put them down. Paris Simkins, colored, of Edgefield, Artson, of Charleston, and others also spoke pretty much in the same tone. Artson introduced a resolution that they regard the decision as a direct blow at the state Government, and that the levy of all taxes be suspended for the next : year, and the treasurer be authorized to issue certificates of indebtness to carry on the various institutions. On Wednesday, the 5th, in the Senate. ' Mr. Andrews introduced tho following concurrent resolution : Whereas, the recent decisions of the United States Supreme Court in the mat ter of the bills of the Bank of the State is calculated to work a disastrous finan cial ruin, unless the same caa be delayed in its operations, or averted ; therefore heit Resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring, that, in ac cordante with said decision, the said bills of the Bank of the State be, and they are hereby, declared a legal tender for any taxes that mav bo due the State; and the State aud. the oounty treasurers are here by required to receive the same therefor, bot none other than the genuine bills; and that, In order to ascertain which are {tenuino, no bill or representation of the ssue of the Bank of the State shall be received into tho treasury of this State, or by any county treasurer, in payment of taxes,'until the same shall have passed through the office of the comptroller general of the State and there stamped as genuine; and for the purpose of carry ing ont the purposes of this resolution, an expert shall be employed, with a sala ry Axed by law, whose duty it shall be to examine said bills, and decide upon the genuineness of the same. In the House, Dr. John A. Barker, of Edgefield, Introduced a bill to provide for the better keeping in repair of the fit Mio roads and bridgea, and tn levy a tot for that purpose i referred to tbs oom mutee on road?, bridges arid ferries, and ways and means, jointly. Dr. Barker knows that this tax is not at all necessary, if the County Comtnis .'proners of the different Counties would "sc*C that the present Road Law in fully carried out But porhaps he thinks Re publican policy" w'ould be better upheld b v levying an additional tax from tho whito people than by punlshiug a few r? >ad defaulters. Have a law passed, Dr. ?, to make the County Commissioners do their duty, ?sui g*V* ca Ca arts toptm ish offenders, and the roads and bridges will be pot in good order without any additional tax. Dr. Barker also introduced the follow ing resolution, which was adopted: JiattitvcU, That the committee on ways and means be requ&sted to submit, by biU or joint resolution, a remedy to meet tho financial embarrassment created by the.recent decision of the United States Supreme Court, relative to the bills of the Bank of tho State - In the Houso a number of bills wore transferred to the regular session, which looks as If an adjournment was contem plated. The Blue Ridge scrip bill, the bills re ceivable bill, and other such jobs seem utterly paralyzed in view of tho danger which is apprehended from the hilts of ? t io Bank of the State. Hi the Senate, Thursday, th.- ?th"; . I?iy ito, -'i Aiken, iutrodu. ed his bill lu I repudiate six million four huuchfwi and fll'ioer. thousand dollars of conversion bonds. The printing bill, introduced by Whittentore, was made the special order for Tuesday, 11th. The two phosphate bills wero laid on the table. The follow lng were passed and sent tr? the House: A bill t*> punish persons for removing or secreting property levied on by the sher iff; a bill to amend Chapter 781, Part 4, Title 1 of tho General Statutes ; a bill to recharter White Hall Ferry, in Beaufort County. The concurrent resolution, in troduced by Andrews, relative to the bills of tho Bank of the State, was, after a long discussion, referred to the com mittee on the judiciary. The bill to ex plain or amend the act to entitle aliens to hold property, passed a secoud read ing. In the Houso the scaling bill was in troduced by the committee of ways and means. It ignores entirely the fraudu lent conversion lionds. and purposes to scale the balance of tho funded debt, stocks and l>onds at the rate of forty per centum of their fa-o value and interest up to January, 1874. This would reduce the debt at a rough estimate down to about five millions. There ls uo differ ence wi atevcr made between old and new bonds or stock. The bill levies an nually a tax ef three mills on the dollar to pay the interest upon the proposed new bonds, andprovidesa sinking fund. It also appropriates ten thousand dollars, to be drawn upon the order of the Gov ernor, to carry the act into effect. Not a word is said about the floating debt. The committee of ways and means al so introduced a bill to carry into effect the decision of the Supreme Court in re- j lation to the bills of the Bank of the State, lt proposes a commission to call in the bills and examine them, stamp the genuine ones as receivable for taxes, and set aside the balance ; and appropri ates five thousand dollars for the ex penses of the commission. Stiring speeches were made in the committee ot the whole upon the bill* on the Bank of the State by Hurley, Humbert and Rob ertson. From the Phoenix we extract the fol lowing synopsis of the speech of tho Hon. Mr. Hurley, the immaculate Tim, on the Supreme Court's decision In refer ence to the Bills of the Bank of tho State Tim knows whereof he speaketh, and we com mend his remarks to the attention of j bis Radical compeers i u particular, and of j the people in general : Mr. Tim. Hurley next obtained the j floor, and delivered a very Rood speech indeed, dealing in hard facts and stern figures, and bringing the lamentable condition of the country into strong view. He said that $3,00?,000, exclusive of interest, were necessary to run the State Government on the schedule which had been adopted-five times as much, that is, as it required in old times. After itemizing the ct i it?rent deficits, he came to consider the tax which would be need ed to raise the required amount, and showed that it could not be done under the present assessment. The value oi the personal property in the State has shrunk $1,250,000. We bad here a state or mm gs unparaiieiea m any otner coun try. The difference between the majori ty, who were consumers, and the mi nority, who were producers and Uix payers, was greater here than anywhere else. The burden of tax falls upon less than one-fourth of the people. The prop erty is not here to tax in the measure which many desire, and the tax falls with crushing weight upon tho few who have it to pay. To go on. then, in the same ruinous way, we have either to in crease valuation of property or the as sessment, and one was about equal to the other, and neither a feasible or proper remedy The State expenses have in creased regularly every session forty per cent. Why do these" deficiencies con stantly tarn up? The most liberal au propriations, oven in excess of tho I amounts asked, are regularly voted, but they always fall sh--rt. The practical question ?ad forced itself upon every one, what guarantee is there that money granted would be honestly applied to its proper uses? The universal feeling is thar, the Republican administrations have been shamefully corrupt, and it is dan gerous to trust them any longr-r If officials proceed in the usual way to levy a tax of $4,000,001), the amount needed to cover past deficiencies, and provide for the other expenses on tho usual scale, there will not be a dollar of it paid The citizens will and should refuse to stand it And no power can go into a man's house and collect a tax in excess of a proper valuation of the property upon which it is laid He said that, fur Iiis ?trt, he was neither Republican nor emocrat when it comes to such a ques tion as this Men were obliged to take care of themselves He drew a picture of universal corruption, the Legislature, Executive and Judiciary all bavins hands stained with plunder . At this very moment we are more indebted to the Supreme Court of the State than to any other cause for our pitiable condition. He didn't care about these fellows or fear their frowns. When no man's prop erty is safe, it is time to bo serious and in earnest. d help South ( -arolina ? she was in dire distress. There were schemes to be brought here so extravagant that $3,000,000 tax will only be a drop in the bucket. He knew of one claim thar had been bought in Charleston for $22S cr $326, which was to be presented here at tho valuation of $120,000. Rascalities in numerable wore on the tapis. Under the circumstances ho was in favor of levying no tax at all, but to relj' upon certificates of indebtedness to come in competition with the bills which were now to be resurrected and brought into circulation. There were many expedi euts by which delay could bo produced, and delay was of vital consequence Hur ley's speech, the portion of it on the rot tenness of the State Government,? the proportion of tax-payers, and the dancer proceeding any longer on the old line ol extravagance, was listened to with mark ed attention. For once he was grave and serious, and seemed to hear the rumbling of the great storm of dissatisfaction and discontent which will surely break over the head of the'Republican party. On Friday, the Renate, in committee of the whole, discussed the Supreme Court decision upon the bills of the Bank of the State. Speeches were made by Smith, .'Conservative,) and N. B. Myers, (color ed Republican.) In the Senate the report on the contest ed election case of Byas against Andrews, from Orangeburg, was discussed from half past 12 to half past 2, and Andrews was finally seated with but one dissent ing vote. The Senate thon went into executive session, and coufirmed quite a number of appointments by- the Governor. We notice in the list that Mr. F. A. Belanger was confirmed ns Auditor for Edgefield, and Mesure. Tillman Watson, Wm Park man and M. W. Turner were confirmed as Trial Justices for Edgefield. The proceedings in the House OD Fri day were rather n ? i n terestfiig.^and then adjourned until 7 P. M. Menday, the 10th. On Saturday, iri t?it? S?ti?te, Mr, Whi temore introduced a fail td provide a stay of execution. ??t~Says the Rome (Ga.) Courier: " From the cotton regions come the re port of giiirhouse burning which if con tinned will necessitate tho re-organiza tion of the Ku Klux*.

Death of Dr. Max. La Borde. Our friend and countryman, Dr. Max. LaBorde, died on Thursday afternoon last, in Columbia Dr. LaBorde was bom in Edgefield seventy years ago, and spent the first half of his life In his native home. And Edgefield is proud to claim as her son, a man whose whole career WILS SO profoundly honorable and useful. Tbis career leaves behind it impression.-? of a character strongly and distinctly pronounced. A sense of honor, quick and nice; a patriotism, fervent and full of vigor in its devotion to home and country ; a mind, ever grasping after, and mastering, the secrets of science and tho graces of literature; and a liftir: true us oteel iu its response to the vibrations of friendship-marked and leavened a long and honorable life' The Phoenix thus announces the death of Dr. LaBorde : We are deeply grieved to announce tho death of Dr. Maximilian LaBorde. This .sud event occurred yesterday afternoon, ut G o'clock, of bronchitis!, after un ill ness of more than two weeks, which he bore wit!? exemplary patience and un murmuring resignation. The end was so gradual that, for forty-eight hours pre vious to his release, hr- wits a dying man. Such euthanasia well corresponded with tho gentle heart and placid temper which marked his career during a long, busy and eventful life. Wo shall take another occasion to present a sketch of his lite and labors Tbe one has boen us con spicuous and pure as tho others have been unremitting. They were all employed on the side of virtue and morality, and in promoting tbe great interests of in telligence, education and culture. Perhaps it was fitting, and there is some consolation in the thought, that he should not survive the college, with whose prosperity he has been identified for thirty one years, which ho loved and served with singular alfeetion and en thusiastic devotion. Recent changes, upon which we will not remark here, left bim wit bout a home, and God in his mercy has loosed the silver cord and taken him to "ahouse not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens" Dr. LaBorde was born June 5,1804, and died November 0,1873. Few lives have been more beneficent and useful. Its close will be universally regretted. The Phoenix, of Sunday, says: "To day, the remains of the lamented Dr. LaBorde will be reverently laid away in the grave in Trinity church-yard, where he has worshipped for near a half cen tury. The good man has gone, but has left behind him a name which will not soon die. "Only the actions of the just Smell sweet and blossom in the dust!" Death of Gen. Hardee. Lieutenant-General William J. Hardee diedatWytheville, Va., Thursday morn ing last. The Constitutionalist, of Fri day, says : " Our night dispatches bring the sad intelligence of the death of Lieutenant General W. J. Hardee, formerly of tho Confederate States Army. One by one the giants of the lost cause are passing away. He illustrated that manhood which Jefferson Davis characterized as "too pi mid to eat thc leak, or bow the knee to mortal man " Our people will remember this noble Georgian long after the "mouldering fingers of time" shall have defaced the memories of many who caused this hero and his gallant corps, those "nights of dsnger" and "days of waking" which his comrades of the Western Army shared and remember " Gen. Hardee's remains were carried to Selma, Ala, on the 8th, for interment, and were met at the depot hy a vast con course of citizens. Stores were closed and business was suspended, and the whole people uuited in honoring the illustrious dead, and the funeral was perhaps the inrgest which ever took placo in Selma. Thousands wore at the cemetery, for the people loved Hardee. The General's old war horse, Shiloh, with empty saddle, and his ?ld Confederate gray coat upon it. brought tears to tho eyes of many a man who hail seen the loved form of the golixnt dean on the neld of carnage and amid the smoke of battle. A Doubtful Remedy. In the State Senate on Saturday, Mr. B. F. Wbittemore introduced a bill for stay of execution. Doubtless his motive in offering the bill was for the temporary relief of the people, and whilst we con sider the remedy under any circum stances a doubtful one, yet we would be gratified to see this, or any other proba ble means of relief and respite, fairly tested. Therefore let Whittemore's stay law go into effect forthwith, and if there is any good in it let the people have the benefit thereof without delay, for surely our monetary affairs will never become more stringent and pinching than now. An Important Grange Movement. Tho Granges arc now taking tho first steps towards a movement, which, if suc cessful, must lead to a complete and startling revolution in this country keeping the wealth of the South at home, and delivering us at once from the po litical and commercial tyranny of the North This movement is the shipping of our entire cotton crop to Liverpool via Charleston or Port Royal. The pioneers in this great mutter are the members ol' Alston GrangeNo. 3't, of I?eKalbCounty, Georgia, and their measures are now at tracting universal attention and discus sion. They have circulated the follow ing paper among the farmers of their County for their signature, and every one to whom it was shown, has signed it: Whereas, Cotton is selling in Atlanta at 131 cents ; and whereas, the same cot ton is worth in Liverpool I? to !'|d. ill gold, equal to 19(u:lt>|u. currency; and whereas, a bale ol cotton cnn be shipped via Port Royal or Charles to., and sold ii Liverpool lor lew. than 8lf> per bale, it is clear the farmer is losing $1G tn ? Omi every bale sold in Atlanta Be it there fore agreed among us, whose names are hereto signed, that we will ship our en tire crop tn Liverpool via Charleston or Port Royal, sending ourown supercargo, who will sell it to the manulacturer, and account directly to us for the proceeds. More than two hundred bales before sundown of the same day ; and by this time, in all probability, two thousand bales are ready for shipment. AU who desire to make the venture are invited to apply to Joseph Reese, Master of Al ston Grange, No. 22 , Decatur, Georcia. who will give the desired information a? to when the vessel will be ready to sail from Port Royal. We should like to see just such a move ment inaugurated in Edgefield, though we confess that the entire leaving-out ol the merchants in tho matter, is a point that will provoke much discusi?n. Direct trado with Liverpool via Charleston, Port Royal and Savannah, is what the (Cotton States need above everything else. But we think this emancipation of our agriculture and commerce must come abolit by the united action and co operation of bot li planters and mer chants jSSr-The Louisville Courier-Journal, of the 27th ult, says: "Mr. Jefferson Davis is ?gain able to appear in the di ning room of the Galt House.

The Columbia correspondent bf th Charleston Neu s tt Couria' thus account for the unusual consternation in th Radical ranks in reference to the decisio of the Supreme Court concerning th Bills of the Bank of the State: " The question with tho General AB acm bly ls evidently not how much ouch tho government actually to oost, or wha would be a reasonable expenditure lb tlie work which is done, but how mucl taxation WILL THE PEOPLE SUBMIT TO and how far can they venture in forcinj them to pay. That which frightens " tin party" about the decision of theSuprenn Court is not so much the embarrassmen which the State government may suffer but that they believe, or at least fear that it is tho beginning of a movemeni on the part of the general government against them. Conscious of continued evil-doing they aro apprehensive that thc administration at Washington hat concluded to throw them overboard as toe fmrdennomc to cai-ry any longer, and thal this decision is the first move in thal direction. This it ls which has caused tlie panic among them. They are Inca pable of understandlinr how the Supreme Court could render a decision so serious ly affecting tho Republican government iii the State, unless the court were either unfriendly to the State government or oise influenced by corrupt motive?. Many declare that THU SPPREME COURT WERE BRIBEn, and that tho money was paid them either by tho holder? of the bills or by the leaders of the National Democracy, who desire to have the Republican adminis tration of South Cand?na overthrown and ruined that they might use it ss a political lever." /SET The Niables, crib" and ot?tor oui? buildings un tho premises of Mr. Mar? ahull Jot'dan, nw Grmmwood, together with Ids whole crdp eitcept that which was id store at the latter place, was burnt oil Mdhdoy night) Hit* dd f&- file M?nbhester ?em?toM ?hi?ks it mighty Jiiird tii?t ?RAfcf ni?s?get along this winter on ft doable Bttiary* abd. there aro the workingmen of' the country enjoying the.Jux.ury of reduced 'wilges? higher taxes, and in many' 'instanbes no ? work..
