F.?'.:eii l p Your Old Cattle, and Make Them Look Young. patten ap vour old cattle before the Stock Law overwhelms you utterly, make them look young, and get them ready - tc Vuip to England. Mr. Harvey Allen 01 BfcJ", aa English capitalist, has written to Governor Hagoo 1 from Lynchburg, Va., t?mt several British moneyed men are pre pared to,embark in the business of export ing yocrg rattle from the South Atlantic States to thc pastures of Great Britain, and asks that tho Governor inform him jf possible before he returns to England, kew many young cattle, from one to two years old, could be annually famished at 'tat S'ooth Carolina ports, the class of an ima'j. usually bred, the average price, the prevalen?" of any disease, and any other information thi* may be obtained. Mr O'.v.ty alludes to the Agrarian troubles in Great Brits'e as affecting most seriously the farming interest of the nation, and be ll tves that the meat supply needed may be furnished at IrFs co?t and preater profit by f-xporting from the South young cattle and grazing them on the high priced lands of the Kingdom than in producing them on such lands. He refers, also, to the btnefit to the South by the establishment of direct steam trade to Great Britain, wbich would be a consequence of the progress of the enterprise. Governor Hagood has referred the letter for reply to Commissioner of Agriculture Butler, rho will be giad to obtain data on the subject. .lohn F. Hobbs. There were those who predicted last fall when John F. Hobbs announced his "in dependent" candidacy for the solicitorship ot this circuit that he would within a year be evolved into a Radical. He at that time averred that bis Democracy was un surpassable and unimpeachable. Those who so predicted are surprised to-day at the sudden fulfillment of their prophecy, when they seo Ibis unimpeachable Demo crat endeavoring to renew the rusty chains whim have fallen from the State, and his ;U.'tiy association and dallying with the dirtiest and most unprincipled of the ne gro politicians with whom the State is vet unhappily afflicted. " It is said that these accusations which Hobbs is concocting have been in several instances signed by one set of negroes as .witnesses', and that when the Democrats ?ave appeared fer examination another ??et bf Bablo affiants have appeared in their 'itead and sworn precisely to the same ef .<f?c:. It.is also said that there is such a gameness in the chargeB as to lead to the belief that they are mado wholesale and afterwards filled in with the names of the *ffonders ?s i hey may happen to turn up. Of course an obliging colored friend hav ing been posted, would not object lo testi-1 fy of his own knowledge as to the truth of these charges. ' And so it goes.

PRESIPEKT: I think it is time that the State should define lier policy in re gard to tbe convict labor of the ?State, if it be our intention'fo make the most mon. ey out of them in the" shortest possible time, then it would le best to let them out ? on sealed proposals to the highest bidder. But. I do not think that that would be wise statesmanship, as it would only bene fit the individual .ontractor, without any corresponding benefit to the Sta'e, We, should rememter that we have a State to build up, and if we desire to place South Carolina abreast of the other States of ? this Union, we must.take a broad, liberal and comprehensive view of our condition. We have to-day more undeveloped terri tory than any of the original thirteen States of the Republic. Out of nineteen millions of acres, we have in cultivation only five millions; and in a commonwealth capable of maintaining five millions of inhabitants, wc have only one million. If we look-at these figures, and regard them as we-should, we will go to work like men determined to build up our waste places, "and make the world better for having lived in it." The experience of the civi lized world has taught us, that the only way to prevent crme is to punish tlie criminal; and the surer the detection and the swifter the punishment, the less crime will be committed. -I have no sympathy L>r that sickly sentiment that sheds tears over the wretch who would rob a maa on th"e^rt?g^rjiighway, and burn np cur, houses frorn^m?f?g?a?^^ -X.9JL. property thus destroyed is not only lost to the victim, but it is lost to the County, lost to the taxable property of the State : aud as all tai payers have a taxable in terest in the property of their fellows, it is but sisjple justice that these criminals, t'iese destructives, should be made r.s far ai practicable to build up that which they have so maliciously and wantonly destro ed. For that purpose, I would farm then ont to all the new Railroads projected, or that are being built, fur in no other way can we so well dispose of this labor, or re ' cuve a larger return of taxable property and population for the:State. Every mile of Railroad completed, adds eight or ten thousand dollars to the* wealth., of thc State, beeides the enhanced value of the Linds on either side ol the road. In my County we have a practical illustration of ] the developing tendency of Railroads. Lock at that section over which the Char lotte, Columbia (fe Augusta Railroid runs, once lovely in its native drearini-ss, new s'udded with beautiful farms and villas, the homes of prosperity and refinement. Besides, four or fi ve enterprising and thrifty Villages nestle on the bosom of that cele brated* plateau, whose influence reaches the remotest bounds of our County. We n-?ed more such, with their schools, church- j e3 and refined society, to weld our people into one moral, homogeneous masi. Now, Mr. President, what dops tliis bilj propose to do? To huddle six or seven hundred unskilled convicts wuuin the walla of the penitentiarv, where they must be fed and clothed at the expense of the ^taxpayers of the State, and be unprofitably employed, if employed at ail. According to the report of the Directors, there has been a daily average of 280 prisoners within the wails of the penitentiary du ring thc last year; and notwithstanding they had the joint earnings of all within, and over two hundred hired ont, the State appropriated to that institution, in round numbers, forty-five thousand dollars, which clearly proves that the talk of profitably working them within the penitentiary walls is mere twaddle. But, Mr. President, it is -aid by thc friends of this Bili, that Railroad corpora tio.is and their overseers maltreat these convicts. In answer to that I would sayi th-i State has as much power to enforce th-drgood treatment in building up these permanent highways, a3 shebas anywhere else within her borders. I would piace all those safeguards around them that human agencies can devise; I woold have them well fed, clothed, and moderately worked with good medical attention when sick -: and any one who would inhumanly abuse them, should be punished by the courts But if we pass this Bil!, we will stop all these roads that are now struggling- hero ically against great odds, to develop tl o resources of our State. I have no direct interest in any of these enterprises ; but I do want to see our gallant old State abreast ol the times and bounding forward into that linr.tless prosperity that can be co erced by limitless activity and unconquera ble enterprise. I greatly desire to see our people prosperous, happy and contented, and to that end I have devoted my life. Therefore, Mr. President, and gentlemen of the Senate, I trust-, this Bill will not pass Br. Strom's Bill. To make it a misdemeanor to entice or perma.de a laborer tn leave the em ployment of another, or to employ a laborer under con rael rviih an other. Bc it enacted, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, now met and sit ting in General Assembly, and by the authority of the same, That any per son or persons who shall entice or j persuade by any means whatsoever, any tenant or tenanta, laborer or la borers under contract with another, duly entered into between the par ties in the presence of ODe or more witnesses, whether such contracts be verbal or in writing, to violate such contract, or shall employ any laborer or laborers, knowing him, her or them to be under contract with another, shall be deemed guilty of a misde meanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be fined not less than twenty five or more than one hundred dol larp, or be imprisoned in the county jail not less than ten nor more than thirty days. Approved December 24, 1880. Oar If ext Governor. An Anderson man confidently states that Hon. B. F. Crayton, the present State Senator from that County, will be our next Governor. Mr. Crayton is a man advanced m years, and stands high as a business man and experi mental farmer. He is no politician ; and if he is our next Governor it will be one instance in Soutu Carolina of j toe "office seeking the man.'" One obstacle in Mr. Cray ion's way is the fact that he lives in the up-country, | which will not exactly suit the "ring." We have not examined his record and do not know how much cnn be said against him ; but if he actually runp, he will find ont before hp -is elected that th? best of men are not free from newspaper comment. We wish him gcod lock.-Abbeville Me oin m. Charleston is materially curtailing her fire department.

Probability of an Extra Session. . The opinion prevails that upon the expiration ot the present Congress the new Congress will immediately convene. Thi following reason is given for this opinion : There is some reason to fear that th : dilatoriness of Congress before therecess may lead to au extra ses sion. There will be ouly fifty-eight days between the 5th ol Janua.-y, when the hoiiday vacation cioses, and the 4th of March, when the 4Gih Congress expires. Eight Sundays and' the holiday of Washington's birthday will reduce the number of working days below fifty. Soma of these threaten to be wasted in the dispute over the proper method of counting the electoral votes. Al though the Democrats in the House have reached no conclusion on the subject, it is generally expected that the joint rule wili be brought up af ter the recess and a determined at tempt be made to secure its passage. The Republicans appear as much in clined to fight off any action as ever, aad if both parties maintain this at titude there will be a deadlock. The funding bill will consume some time, as the Senate will very likely amend the bill in some important particu lars" arid send it back to the House. Then there are the important ap propriation bills, which UsuaUy coii snme about as much time ns will be left after the two houses meet again. It will thus be seen that- some of the apprehensions lest-som? of the necessary bills may Lot pass aud au extra session be required are not irfiTontrded. The Democrats are ut terly opposecTto an extra session, and most of the Republicans feel the same way, but the frieuds ofthe candidates for all the House positions anxiously desire lo have the new Congress meet in March, so that they can begin to draw their pay right away. Other wise the Democrats who now fill these places will retaiu them until next December. Then there are sorn? Re publicans who want to have Congress meet in the spring, so that commit tees can be appointed to go South and investigate alleged election frauds during the period before the opening of the regular session in December. Whether these elements will be strong enough to force an extra session it*is too early to tell, but there is some reason to fear it. The New Secretary of the Navy. The. President, cn the G;h, sent to the Senate the nomination of Nathan Goff, Jr., of West Virginia, to be secretary of the navy. The nominr tion of Gen. Goff caused general sup prise except to the few who knew of the President's intention to make it. When the nomination was presented to the Senate, Gen. Golf was in the Capitol in the room of the Senate com mittee on appropriations. He is a native of West Virginia residing at Clarksburg. He was colonel of ihe Third Virginia regiment in the Un ion army and rose t the rank of brigadier t'?neral. During the war he earned tue reputation of a gall.tnt and able commander. Ile his been United States district attorney ol West. Virginia for twelve years. Four years ago he was the Republican nora inee for Governor and, it ?3 said, ran ahead of his ticket considerably, but was of course beaten by the Demo cratic nominee, Governor Matthews. The nomination of Gen. Goff is be lieved to settle tho disposition of the navy department in Gen. Garfield's Cabinet. He had every prospect ol keeping-Ids place as district-attorney of West Virginia, 'L.he wo nf PI! M andie \9uuiu hardly resign a twelve thousand? dollar office to take a seat in the Cabinet if he did not expect to hold it longer than for the fig end of the administration. Everything indicates that his appointment was approved by Gen. Garfield, and that he will be continued in the position for the next four yeara. This will re cognize the claims of the Southern Republicans, aod especially those of West Virginia, while it will prevent the charge of church influences and prejudices, which the selection of so prominent a member of Garfield's denomination as Campbell would have provoked. The new secretary of the navy is about 44 years old and looks even younger. STAT?^N?WS. The Laurens il-ulroad was s^ld in Co lumbia ten days bael.*, under decree of foreclcsure. The property was sold lo Col. A. C. Haskell f(.r thirty thousand dollars, he being the only person who made a bid.

It is thirty two miles long, aad fs considered c very cheap piece of property at tho p ice paid. At length the negro Neil W. Blair's long suspense ia over. Through the per sistent exertions of his counsel, Capt. T. W.

Ile was to have been handed on the 28th instant. He has been respited four time?, twice by Governor Simpson and twice by Governor Jeter. Major Melchera, of Charleston, ha's been in the up-country recently prospecting for landon which to settle i>0<) Menoniles] whom he hopes to bring to this .Slate in the spring. That will probably lase about 100,000 acres ol wild land if they oin se cure it in one tract for the.formation of an extensive colony, and efforts are now be ing made to clear the titles of some prop erty desired for their nee Thc board of directors ofthe Peniten tiary at a late meeting agreed to hire out one hundred and twenty-live convicts, as soon as they could be spared from the Penitentiary, at ten dollars per month, to Mr. Pringle, of Charleston, for work in the phosphate mines near the city. All of the railroads which have been paying money for their convicts have agreed to increase their payments hence forward from five to seven dollars per month each. The News and Courier has been inves tigating the condition ol' the colored lu borers in some of the lower and middle counties, and finds it satisfactory, many colored men being fount! to ba possessors of very considerable property, and persons of that race owning a large proportion of the real and personal estate on the Sea Is lands. The South Carolina Jockey Club have determined to have another race meeting at the Washington course, Charleston, in February.
