The treasury receives about $25,000,000 a month from the in ternal revenue tax. The town of Union in this State . has passed an ordinance lo exempt all manufacturing concerns from taxation "provided said m anufac tui ies shall not establish, maintain or carry on shops and company stores.""_ A large Glasgow, Scotland, tea chest company has purchased 10, 000 acres of forest land in Nortbf Carolina, with 75,000,000 feet or stumpage to use the lumber fo the veneering of tea chests. A fac tory to prepare it will be built at Wilmington. The Orangeburg manufacturing j company has! applied for a char ter. It is to build a cotton mill, the capital stock to be $200,000 One half of the stock is common and the other preferred. W G Smith, of Bamberg ; T C Duncan, of Union, and B H Moss, of Un ion, are the corporators. The Charlotte N. C., Grand Ju ry in considering the great in crease, in crime, attribute it ina large measure to the constantly increasing desire for gambling ? among the people, and says "that j ."-the fair hands that so deftly han- j die the cards at progressive euchre parties should be as severely dealt with as are the negro crap shoot ers." Judge Ernest Gary in a recent) charge to tho grand jury at George town used the following wise . words : He. said that the. trial by jury was the bulwark of liberty and and that the objections made were hot to the system itself, but to its admio istration. "A corrupt juror," said Judge Gary, "is a - greater menace to the social organization than the criminal, upon whose j guilt or innocence he passes." The Abbeville Press and Ban ner says : "Excepting Gov. Till man no man who has held the of fice of governor has shown the backbone and bravery of Gov. Mc sweeney, and we think he deserves the support of every temperance man in the Sfate. Speaking for this newspaper we propose to stand for his re-election. We are for McSweeney against the field. Look out now for opposition to him from those who oppose the re strictions of the dispensary law." BOND QUESTION.

Our Triumph in China. The trade of toe United States ? with China has been growing more rapidly in recent years than bat- 1 that of any other nation. It ia * destined to grow still more rapidly / in the future. The day undoubt- C edly is not far distant when this ur country, owing to its wealth, en- re terprise and physical advantages, JJ will have more of the trade of th China than any other nation. The jj? administration's triumph in keep- tr< .ing China intact, and in maintain- t?< ing an open field in her domain m .for the commerce of all couutries en has rendered this out-come cer- *5 lain. This is a victory which will ?J still further increase the iufluence oy of the United States in the politics cei of the world, and, incidentally, it s,z will gain hundreus of thousands of J* votes intbe.comiug election foi mg the party which gained this tri- thc umph for th* country.-St. Louis fro Globe-Democrat *! LEGISLATIVE NEWS. Senator Gruber's conniy court bill is in a fair way to become a law, having passed its third read ing in the house. This bill seems to bo chiefly demanded by the law yers, but provision is mada for an election by the people before it is saddled on any county. It is more than probable that the completion of the State House will be authorized by the present assembly. The senate has the matter in charge. Of. course this important matter should be no longer delayed. But the talk, of selling the Governor's mansion grounds and building a new one, should have a rest, until the State Fx uso is fully completed and paid for. On the 15th in the House, "Mr. E B Ragsdale had a bill limiting the number of acres of land which an alien may own to 100 acroB. Mr Ragsdale was satisfied with the Act of lt>96, limited the own ership to 500 acres, and the bill, by his request, was killed. Mr Means's bill to regulate the ownership and hunting of game came up and was supported by Mr Means and Dr. Hopkins. Mr Ashley and Mr Stevenson thought the bill had better be killed at once. It proposed TO pun i sh a man for going on another man's land in pursuit of game. Mr Lofton said the committee was unanimously opposed to the bill. There was now sufficient legislation. Mr Means was willing to amend the bill. On motion of Mr De Bruhl the bili was indefinitely postponed. During the week just past Mr Ashley introduced a bill which provides that the question of dis pensary, prohibition or high li cense be submitted to the people. Senator Graydon and Senator Ap pelt propose to ehange the 'dis pensary system. Representative J. B. McLaurin of Marlboro and Representative J. 0. Patterson of Barnwell also have dispensary bills which have passed through the engrossing department and will. probably be introduced to day. The majority of the new measures, already introduced or proposed, seek to submit the en tire matter to the people, the ob jeot being to let each county regu late the sale of liquor in its own way so that the constitutional re quirements are enforced. There seems to be a very great deal of dissatisfaction with the county boards, and there will be a determined effort to effect its un doing. But with so many contend ing influences and with so many issues at stake, there is no telling whether the matter will te fought out upon its merits or whether Borne compromise will be effected. If indications count for anything the ?t*te board will be abolished.r Lap' week the house killed Me Wharton's bill to provide tor the alection of county dispensers. The bill was discussed by avowed friends of the dispensary, and it svas rather amnsing to hear them in tho arguments pro and con re site that tho present system of ap pointment by the county board fosters paternalism to a dangerous legree, or on the other hand that the primary would become con Laminated if the dispenser wer* to be made an eleotive office. Mr. Moss has introduced a bil ?vhich contemplates the addition jf two judicial circuits to the present number, making ten rhese circuits will be somewhat lifferent from the present arrange nent, as the grouping proposed s more compact. Mr. Moss' idea s to provide a means for ridding he courts of litigation which is lontinued from court to court on iccount of the limited stay of the residing judge. Economy ii not ?verlooked, and the additions ;ost is proposed to be as slight as ?ossible. The income tax law is regarded .8 almost a nullity, and the touse last week passed Mr. W. L lauldin's bill to do away with the aw which bringa no revenue to he State from a majority f the counties, as no way has been rovided to enforce the law. The adoption of Mt. Roger's aarriage license bill by the house nd the passage of Mr. Baoot'e bill D cede certain portions of ullman's Island to the United tates government for a military ost were matters of moment last eek. "There will be another fight on tr. Ashley's bill to reduce the tax a fertilisers to 25 cents a ton. Nomen as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble.

A bill prohibiting the hiring ot invicta for work on farms drew it prolonged discussion, which ided in the decision that the pre tence should be given to counties ?rwork on public roads, $4 per onth and expenses to be paid for ich oonvict. The wide tire bill passed the sen 0 by a good majority, after an lday discussion.

Jan. 15.-Special. -Representative Finley of South Carolina, the only new membei,of the delegation, is likely to become a strong man of the delegation. Although this ie his first experience in the United States Congress, he has had considerable legislatve ex perience, having been a member of the South Carolina Legislature. Among his colleagues in the Legislature were two of the mem bers of the present South Carolina delegation in the House of Re presentatives, Congressmen Wilsqi and Talbert. Mr. Fmley rather tall gentlemen and of com manding presence, and it is said that he has a spleodid voice and isa good speaker. Thus far he hse not been heard in the House, the session not having 'advanced long enough as yet to afford a new member much opportunity. He is known, however, to be a good talker, and he will doubtless, be heard in the House of Represen tatives before very long. Per sonally, Mr. Finley is one of the most genial members of the South Carolina delgation in Congress. He is getting to be quite a favorite among the Washington corresond ents, who natnrally take to men who furnish news.

Chase, Chief Justice of the United States Suprome Court, put this query to h i 8* colleagues on tho Be?ch: VA man cannot be tried for treason unless he is a citizen of the country, can he?' 'Certainly not,' wus the answer of every Justice. 'Then,1 said Mr Chase, ?Mr Davis cannot be tried for treason unloss he ie aoitisen of the United States, can he: 'Assuredly not,' was tho joanimous reply. Con you show rae under tho authority of tho Con stitution, or any law of Congress,' went on the Chief Justice, 'where any man [is a citizen of these United States? The people of this Dountry nre citizens of their re spective Stales, and notcitizensof the United States.' This position being assented to Mr Davis was not tried. Mr. Chase's 'discovery! led to the adoption of the 14th amendment.,' Ob. no; the real' reason, as explained by aneminentj ( harleston lawyer, (J. B. Camp.. bell.) who visited Washington at that time, was that the United States Government did not dare o try Mr Davis for treason ; that every line of the trial would have been read by the people of the North, who would then have seen for the first time, by the evidence and the arguments of Mr. Davis's lawyer, Charles OtConnor, that the So 'ih had an absolute constitu tonal right to secede.- News and io irier.
