When the General Appropriation bill was passed iu the House, that body added to it an~?ppropriati?n of $25.000 for taking tire census.' The Senate would not agree to this and retumeA-iheJiilLtft-^the House sher of thia feature. Upjon this there was quiteji disouas:on as to whether th Hons? ahould recede or stand firm Mr. Ready, Mr. Folk and Mr. Jones voted to stand firm, Mr. Blackwell voted to concur in the action of th S?nate. '}?: ?! 1 On this question Mr. Ready ws3 allowed th*$? mir&teafand he made an effective talk. ?He nrg'ed the mern bera to be firm. The House waa clear ly in the right and should not give way. Colonel Folk delivered a very impressive speech in support of tbs action of tho House, s He did not be lieve in weighing the question by ex pediency or by dollars and cents. Th? Constitution upheld the House, and he would never consent to back out ' ~*ecli?f8e of the c?ns?aerations which had b?en urged. Farmer Tillman, who has been pub 1 rahing some very strong articles upon the management of.the Sooth Caro lina Collleg? and the Agricultural De partment, continues to hold his own j. retty well against the big guns fired at him by the friends and officials of these institutions. They thought each time they replied to him that he would be annihilated and wonld not dare to raise bis head again, but he has'raisad it, and has torn the bark off of them in his replies. He has truth and justice on his Side and we want to see him " hold the fort" to the end.-Camden Journal. Acts of General Interest Passed at the Last Session of ibo Legislature.
