THE LIEN I.AW NOT DISTURBED.
The bill repealing section 4, chapter
120, of the general Statutes, h-.? been
thought by some, who have not .ooked
into tho matter c losely, to seriously
disturb tho Lien Law. But this ia not so.
Tiie section alluded to is on page 349 of
the General Statutes, and reads as fol
lows : " Every person or persons who
shall mortgage the samo goods or chat
tels a second ti me, a former mortgage
being in force and not discharged, shall
have no power of liberty of redemption
in equity or otherwise." Section 4 was"
intended to lake away any right of ref
dcuiptioti from any person who should
be guilty of gi ving a second lien on prop
erty to one party where it had already
baen mortgaged to another. The section
really a ni o u n ted to no th i n g. as very few
persons of the class who would be ras
cully enough to give a second mortgage
on property, knew of its existence, and
if they did, few if any could redeem prop- i
erty twice mortgaged. The repealing of
section 4, chapter 120, therefore, hurts
nobody, as better laws exist that give
more adequate punishment to those dis
posed to commit frauds against any who
may be willing to do ?hem service.
Tlie Error in the Supply Bill.
The error in the Supply Bill has exci
ted a great deal of attention, and many
have been thesurmises as to what should
bi done, a id wh it wmid be d me, about
it As will be seen, however, by a Co
lombia telegram, in another column, the
Comptroller General is proceeding un
der the Act as it stands, and preparing
circulars to that effect to send to the
C 'univ Treasurers.
From the Register.
HOW HASTE MAKES WASTE
SHORT SESSION ECONOMY.
It bits boen discovered that an impor
tant error has been committed in the
pass ige of the act to raise supplies, eu
a oed by the Legislature which has just
aoj turned, the enrolled a?t as ratified by
tiie two houses and approved by the Gov
' - W '& rc-Vi ? it u im? %M?feHajfHIti-j
the two houses. The bill as it left the
House (if Representatives provided for a
general State levy of four and one-half
mills This was amended by the Senate
so as to read "four and three-quarters"
mills.
The Senate further amended the bill
by inserting in Section 2 a provision of
$3,000 for the militia of Charleston coun
ty. The House refused to concur in
these amendments, and on the recom
mendation of the committee of confer
ence thc Senate receded therefrom. But
the act as enrolled, ratified and approved,
contains them both. This isa uiost se
rious matter, and may operate to invali
date the entire tax act, one of the most
important if not the most important act
which it was the duty of the Legislature
to pass. The Slate government cauno1
lie carried oil without a levy of taxes, and
it is a grave question whether the collec
tion of taxes can be accomplished under
such a paper as the one on tile at the cap
itol and entitled "An act to raise sup
plies and make appropriations for the
fiscal year commencing November 1st,
1870." It stems plain that "four and
Um ?> quarter mills" caunot be collected
as i -. expressed in the enrolled act be
cause no such provision passed the two
?uM?Ki. And it seems equally plain thal
; m mfr, HOT TacftWtf, neVSp-ro
Governor. The provision as to the $3,000
for the Charleston militia is not iS?t?<di
of so great importance, but in that par
ticular the enrolled act is not a true copy
of the original bill.
Tho tax act is on? of that class of acts
about which the constitution is most par
ticular, inasmuch as it raises a revenue
from tlie people. Such an act cannot
even originate in the Senate but mus
have its origin in the popular branch of
the General Assembly.
Section 18 of article 2 of the State con
stitution says: " Bills for raising a reve
lille shall originate in the House of Rep
resentatlves, but may be altered, amend
e l or rejected by the Senate; and all otb
er bids may originate in either house
and may be amended, altered or rejected
by the other."
Seoti on 21 of article 2 reads : " No bill
shall have the force of law until itshal
have been read three limos and on three
several days in each house, has had the
great seal of the Slate ailixed to it, and
bas been signed in the Senate house by
tho President of the Senate aud the
Speaker of the House of Ropiescnta
ti ves."
This is one of the results of the haste
with which the Legislature carried on
its business during the latter part of its
session. It was next to impossible that
so much could bo done in so aborta
time without some mistakes occurring,
but wo confess we were not prepared
tor so grave an error as this. We hope
that some means may be found * > avoid
til ; necessity of an extra session
Wo do not think that any one of the
c'o ks or committees can justly be blam
el for this oversight, as the pressure of
labor upon them was simply immense,
and such as human nature could not
encounter successfully.
The Supply Act Stands.
Special Dispatch lo thc Xetc.i and Courier.
COLUMBI A, January 2.-The comptrol
ler-general will proceed under the Sup
ply act as it stands, and is preparing cir
culars to that effect to semi to the County
Treasurers.
Tho Treasury is busy paying the Jan
uary interest on the Deficiency bonds.
REPRESENTATIVE CALLISON ON
ED GEFIEL D'S MATERIAL CON
DITION.
With a view of obtaining the ideas of
representative men from all sections of
the State as to her prospects for 1880, the
Charleston JSews and Courier circulated
slips among the Representatives and
Senators during the recent session of the
Legislature, on which were printed the
following questions:
"What are the material prospects of
the State for 1880 from your standpoint ?'>
" Upon what facts do you base your
ideas?"
As regards Edgelield, the subjoined
reply was recel veil from Representative
Callison : Our County ia in a better con
dition financially than at any time sine J
tho lamentable crash of 1873, and the out
look for 1880is highly encouraging.
1st. On account of restored confidence
in a wiso, economical and stable govern
ment under thc auspices of a Democrat
ic administration.
2d. The present high price paid for cot
ton as compared with several preceding
years has enabled the planter to meet his
engagements, pay off some, if not all,
his old debts; money circulates freely
from hand t.> hand, and the people are
cheerful and confident of their ability
to ride the tidal wave of tho incoming
material prosperity.
3d The enlarged area of ou- arable
land devoted to small grain, oa in par
ticular, as very many of the planters
raise large quantities of them for sale, as
well as to feed their stock the year round.
In fact, tiie red rust proof oat has saved
the Planters in Western Carolina from
utter ruin, and it takes but little labor
and will produce more forage than any
other crop we plant Therefore, we con
sider it one of the saving factors that has
added to our material prosperity.
[From the Charleston Netos & Courier.]
The Reception ol' Gen. Grant lu the
Sooth.
Unless the Northern Stalwarts doubt
the sincereity of the good people of Au
gusta and Beaufort, they must be con
vinced, against their will, that two South
ern towns, at least, are thoroughly recon
structed. It was not possible for Augus
ta and Btau ort t > go f r her than they
did to prove to the world that the South
is forgetful and forgiving.
Gen. Grant did not traverse the Conti
nent, and does not visit the South, as an
ex-President of the United States, entit
led as such to official courtesy and respect.
It was as a successful soldier, as the man
who crushed-out "the rebellion," that
Gen. Grant was welcomed on the Pacific
slope and in the Quaker City. No at
tempt was made to establish for him any
claim to public ?ff c im or gratitude by
reason of his service as President. Tho
mr**"C"*"? of th? excursion - knew that stnv
such effort would be dangerous. It is not
forgotten in the North and West that the*
grossest public lean lals tim country has
known sprang out of the Gr tnt adminis
tration. Thousands who we're ready to
renew their expressions ol' gi au in to the
General who brought the warlocks would
have refuse?! to approve, or even condone,
his act as President. Any such approval
or condonation would have been twisted
into an expression of a desire to make
him President again As soldier, not as
civilian, he makes his prognsi tl.r?ugh 0.a.
country. It was his own choice, or that
of the persons who are engaged in his ex
ploitation.
Gen. Grant in coming to tho South em
phasizes this policy, in bringing with him
Gen. Sheridan, a man as different from the
ideal soldier as Gen Grant is from the
ideal President of a Constitutional Re
public. Tne chosen companion of Gen.
Grant in his Southern tour is th-i Barn
burner of the Valley of Virginia; 'Jie bul
ly who branded the peoole of Louisiana
and Mississippi as " banco Iii," ami invited
?he President so to prcuaim them, and
leave the rest to him. It is just 6ve
years ago that Gen. Sheridan sent his infa
mous telegrams to Sectetar}' Belknap.
The answer swiftly came on January (J,
1S7?. "The President and all of us have
full confidence, and thoroughly appn :e
your course." Nothing is wanting on
Gen. Grant's part to show that he comes
to the South as a soldier, and that bar
rark-room methods and parade ground
rules are as dear to hf i as ever
Is there anything in all this to entitle
Gen. Grant to public hospitality in the
South? As ex-President he expects no
thing, and he is entitled to nothing^ for
[-nelpie." ;^tffthe' Conqueror of "t?o South
ue sorely has n ? claim upon our consid
erafion. Yet in Beaufort he is received
as though he were Washington and Le
in one, and in Augusta be is told hy an
influential newspaper that ''the represen
tativesofthe New South extend cordial
greeting to theCoxovvnono/theolJ' Time
has indeed brought its revenges when tren.
Grant is ni ad* welcome by S allin raer
because he is their Conqueror. TV y who
can swallow this need not strain ai Sher
idan. And they do not?
We have no desire to rekindle section A
animosity, or to enrage H;>y S utthera
heart by dweelingon memories of Confeder
ate days. No uewspaDer in th.: South
has been more zealous than the Netos and
Cmrier in the endeavor to bring about
true pacification and real reunion. No
newspaper is more anxious to m ike this
country one in sentiment and hop -, and
indivisible in future But there is nott)
in^' to gain, for any cause, by loadvmg
and adulation. Give Honor to whom
Honor is due; and so mark the distinc
tion between those who have served their
country, which ia our country, with un
selfish devotion and earnest patriotism,
and those whose public conduct is narrow
and selfish, or brutal and capricious. To
act otherwise is to say that the South
does not appreciate the difference lu
tween a Lincoln and a Grant, or between
t Hancock and a Sheridan. It is to say
that all men are ali'
, "'V'nVs is not Sout"u':
rtJ sentiment; it is not Ajnerieali s-nti
rirJit.. The respect of our quomdam foes
we have enjoyed, because they believed
,hat, in war, the Southern people were
iones!, sincere and self-sacrificing; These
irant reception us, if they continue, will
convince the whole country that the
Southern people are disingenuos, or are
wanting in a nice sense of what is due to
honorable self-respect.
GRANT IN AUGUSTA.
What the Press Says of the Es-Presl
deat's Reception.
lt is reported that the object of General
Grant's visit to the city of Augusta is to
iccept the proffered Presidency of the
lireat Augusta canal, and to advise the
Mayor and Council relative to the Mc
Bean troubles.-Athens (Ga ) Bann r.
If it shall be impossible for Gen ral
Urant to accept the hospitalities of the
city of Augusta, tendered him by the
City Council, how would it do to send
Babcock in his place ? Augusta's patriot
ism ought to have nome sort of recogni
ion.-Rome (Ga) Courier.
lie was received by the Mayor and
Councilmen, and escorted to thc L'uion
ioepot by a procession of colored worship
pers who were engaged in celebrating tale
emancipation proclamation o. Abraham
Lincoln in ISG-i. This is all ver well, but
A.ogusta didn't do the handsome thing by
the future President. She ought to have
.aken him up the canal by all means. It
s true it is not as big a thing as the in
er-oceanic Nicarauguan concein, but there
s much more Tealty about it. Couldn't
Augusta make him President of the canal,
ihelve him from the impending Presiden
:y, and save tho expense of his trip to
S'icaraugua'I-CharloUe (N. (?) Observer.
A man in our sanctum, the other day,
.ernarked that when the country runs
iround after Grant with brass bands and
.he like, the country makes a jolly old ass
>fitself. Wasn't he right?-Jxigrangc
Ga ) Reporter.
Gen. Grant, in his travels through South
karolina and Georgia, is received with ev
:ry evidence of good will by the pennie,
>oth white and black.- Cincinnati i,'a
cite.
We don't take any (irani in ours. We
ire down on toadyism, lt is disgusting
0 see Southern cities inviting Grant lo
'isit them. This boot-licking spirit in
onie quarters is what makes Blaine and
inkling curl their lips when they make
heir flings at the "Southern chivalry."

Washington Republican.
Gen. Grant should be convinced by this
ime that the people of the South bear
im no malice. The cordial nature of Ins
eception at Columbia, Augusta and other
oints shows that, in spite of the rna: y
cts of oppression which the South was
>rced to indure at his hands, her people
?member only that he is their guest and
ie soldier who redeemed his pledges to
len. Lee at Appomattox in the face of the
itterest opposition on the part of Repub
can politicians.-Baltimore Gazette.
SENSIBLE TALK.-The Winnsboro' Netos
'isely says : Correspondents of newspa

tate. Every one in the State, from Gov.
lampton down to the humblest, citizen,
ho rode on horseback, or kept his place
1 the line, or obeyed bia club president's

inety-two thousand men to save the

MIT FIRST CHRISTMAS DAY IN
HEAVEN.
Written in Memory of Little Fisher Day
Meritt.
The merry Christmas-tune had come,
The time of ail the year,
When happy hearts are in each home,
Cud tables with good cheer.
But ah ! om1 hearts were very sad,
The house seemed void and lone,
No baby voico now made us glad,
All joy in lifo seem'd flown.
I sat wi til bowed head, the tear
Unheeded fell ; when hark !
A sound of music till'd the air,
The place no more was dark.
"Hark! the herald-angels sing,
Glory to the new-born King."
Heavenly voices filled the room,
Vanished all my doubt and gloom.
Swtet one voice falls ou my ear.;
Thrilling tones which once did hear
Lisping notes of baby's love,
Cooing like some gentle dove.
Now, the words came, soft and clear :
Jesus Christ has brought me here.
Dark the path on earth, and wild :
Jesus Christ was once a child,
Well ire saw each throb and pain
Teeming in a baby's brain,
Tiny hands all wrung in woe;
Josus loved your-baby. So
Cradled in His loving anns,
Faraway from earth's alarms,
Your dear lamb tho Shepherd bore.
Let your faith now upward soar;
See the precious bab}' face,
Gone al! sorrow, not. one trace.
F.yes that once with pain were bright
Now aro filled witlt Heavenly light.
Tiny hands now clasped in Joy,
Mother, hear your precious boy :
No more sufi''ring, not one sin,
Where shall e'er my praise begin?
Freed from earth without one stain,
Mother, join the joyous strain,
Happy baby, to be giv'n
%*My first Christmas Day in Heaven."

as overseer ou the Huiet and Vaughu

A Prompt and Eninuatlc Denial From
Mrs. Vuughan.
To the. E Mom of the Edgrfield Adoer
liner : The startling statements recently
se*, afloat by Mr. Oscar Foy. whereby bo
charges that I have boen criminally in
timate with him, and that he and I poi
soned my late husband, 1). T. Vaughan,
make it necessary that I should at once,
find in tho most public manner, put upon
record my emphatic and unqualified ?lo
ni d of the false and malicious accusa
tions which he has made against me.
Hail I been so infat?ate?! and enamored
with Mr. Foy as to poison my husband
:>n his account, tho mostnatural sequence
>f the crime wouhl have been tho con
min mat ion of its purposes by my mar
rj'ing him afterwards. By joining him
iii so 1 .?nous a crime, I would have
?dace?! myself so much in his poweras
to nut!:? it a necessity for me t ) marry
lim.
I do most so'eninly assert that I have
lot at any lime had any criminal inti
macy with Mr. Foy, that I have never
MI ter tai n cd any purpose of marrying
lim, nor held out to him any induce
nents of that kind.
I furthermore deny that I poisoned
Vir. Vaughan, or had any knowledge of
my poison being administered to him
o cause his death.'
My mother, Mrs. Huiet, was at my
louso during Mr. Vaughan's last illness,
iud vas in the room where he was, from
?me to time, up to tho moment of his
loath
Tho whole story has boen concocted
ind fabricated bj' Mr. Foy lo revenge
limself upon me, because I refused to
iccept his proposals of marriage, made
o me aftor Mr. Vaughan's death, and
iccau.se I could not longer koop him on
ny premisos, on account of his pressing
hese proposals, and his too frequent use
if intoxicating liquors, to the neglect of
lusiuess,
I hope the people here, who have
mown me all my life, will not give
eady credence to a story coming from
uch a source, which would make me
ut to bo such a heartless, wicked and
bandoned wretch, as this vile falsehood
i'ould ropreseut me to be.
I have expressed my readiness and
.illingness to my friends, with whom
have consulted, to have Mr. Vaughan's
ody exhumed and subjected to oheinl
al analysis.
It is painful tobe thus inrust before
