Comptroller Colt Resigns. Oovernor Hagood Accepts His Resignation. COLUMBIA, Dec. 20.-The Gov ornor to-day sent to the House the fol lowing message and accompanying letter: COLUMBIA, S. C., Dec. 20, 1880. Gentlemen of the General Assen sembly : I beg leave respectfully to inform your honorable body that James C. Coit, Esq., comptroller-general, has this day tendered to me the resigna tion of his office, and that I have ac cepted the same. The reasons inducing this step on the part of the distinguished public officer alluded to are set forth in his letter of resignation, which is here with transmitted. I have to express my regret that the State is deprived of his valuable service JOHNSON HAGOOD, Governor. OFFIcE COMPTROLLER-GENERAL, CoLUMBIA, S. C. Dec. 18, 1880. To His Excellency Johnson Hagood, Governor : Sia-I beg leave herewith to ten der my resignation of the office of comptroller-general of the State of South Carolina. In resigning the office to which I have been elected and into which I have been recently installed, I feel it due to myself, as well as to the people who placed me there, to state the reasons which move me to do so. While not personally favoring the nomination of a general ticket in June, it was my fortune to be placed upon the State ticket by the unani mous voice of the Democratic Con vention which met at Columbia at that time. Within one short month thereafter, while engaged in an earn est endeavor to discharge faithfully the duties whish bad been previously imposed upon me and feeling as I thought a just pride in having done so with honor to myself, I was sud denly stricken down by an unforeseen misfortune. I have never felt that I could blame myself for any care lessness in the management of my office as special commissioner. Yet the fact that a loss did a occur in thet office was a source of deep morti fication and distress to mA The mortification and distress was increased by the manner in which the information of the larceny was con veyed to me. I rejoice and shall ever be thankfal that the discovery was made in time for the facts to be ascertained, and that no imputation can rest upon my character. I cannot but regret, however, that it had not been sooner and in a differ ent manner brought to my attention. The extent of the loss to the State being unknown, and supposed to be large, naturally created an alarm in the public mind, It was impossible to place the public in possession~ of the facts in anticipation of a trial in the couirt. Under these ,'reamstances it was thought by some that my name would be a load upon the Dem ocratic party in the heated canvass which was then anticipated in the State. Had the executive committee pos sessed the power to fill my place with out the call of a convention, and could I have honorably withdrawn my name, I would unhesitatingly have done so. The call of a convention in my opinion would have tended to a dis organization of the party in the State, and the best interests of the people would have been in jeopardy. In this emergency, while expressing to the executive committee my ina bility to make good the loss to the State, I assumed the loss and agreed to devote the labor of my life, if ne cessary, to its liquidation rather than hazard the welfare of the people. I will not deny that I had great hope, when the facts were made known by an investigation into the whole matter, that a generous people would not permit a public servant to be financially ruined if it was ascertained that he was not to blame. My expectation has not been dis appointed. The generous action of the General Assembly has this day placed it within my power to honor ably resign my position and remit to the representatives of the people their right to select another to fill the office I hereby vacate. I beg that this communication may be transmitted to the General Assem bly that the people may know that what I did pending the election was * for no purpose of securing to myself a position of honor and trust. I desire it further that I may ex press to the members of the General Assembly my sincere thanks for their kind action of this day, and to assure them that I shall with pride ever hold in remembrance the expression of confidence in me personally exhibited by those who favored the action of the Assembly. I beg to assure you that I have not hastily adopted this course. It has been my desire foi a long time to lay down my trust at the first opportunity that I could hon orably do so. Very respectfully, JAS. C. Corr, Comptroller General. The Laurens Railroad. Facts and Gossip about the Forthconing Sale-The Bidders and their Plans. News and Courier. Pursuant to the decree of fore closure made by Judge Kershaw in the case of James S. Gibbes against the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company and others, the Laurens Railroad will be sold in Columbia on the fis Monday in .Tanuary next will have upon Charleston interests. Prominent railroad men and capital ists in the city either know very little about the matter, or are not disposed to give their views for publication. Receiver Fisher of the South Caro lina Railroad said to a Reporter of The News and Courier yesterday that he was not fully posted, and coald give no definite information upon the subject. He had heard that the bonds of the Laurens Railroad, amounting to about $130,000, had been largely bought up by the purcha sers of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad; that they held about 880, 000 of these bonds, a large controlling interest, and he presumed they would bid for the road. Col. S. B. Pickens, the general freight agent of the South Carolina Railroad knew nothing about the probable purchasers of the property, but be had heard it rumored that the Air Line Railroad would bid for the road with a view of securing a con nection at Greenville with the Green ville and Laurens Railroad now un der contemplation. Mr. S. Lord, Jr., representing the purchasers of the Greenville and Col umbia Road, said it was probable they would buy the Laurens Road. They have been negotiating for the purchase of the bonds and have agreed upon the price. The only thing remaining to complete the contract is the payment of the amount at which the bonds have been negotiated. If the Air-Line Road should buy the property with a view of con structing the new line from Laurens to Greenville it is thought probable that the extension of the line to Columbia would become a necessity. This would give Charleston another outlet to the mountains, and bring the new line into direct and healthy competion with the Greenville and Columbia Road. The price agreed upon by the purchasers of the Greenville and Columbia R(ad for the Laurens Railroad bonds is eighty cents on the dollar.

SEC. 6. This Act shall go in to effect on the first day of January A. D. 1881. Ex Gov. R. K. Scott killed a young druggist named Drury at Napoleon, Ohio, Christmas night. A dispatch to the Charleston News and Courier gives the following particulars : Drury was a clerk in Knowland's drug store, and celebrated Christmas Eve with several young companions, among them being Scott's son, who drank too much, and not wishing his parents to see him intoxicated accepted an offer of Drury to share the latter's bed at the drug store. About 11 o'clock a gentleman sent by Mrs. Scott to find her son discovered his whereabouts, but failing to induce him to go home returned to the hotel and reported the facts to Gen. Scott. The General then went to the store, called Drury up and asked for his son. Drury denied that young Scott was there. The father insisted on going to the bedroom. Drury preceded him and on reaching the door of the room turned round and refused to admit Scott. The General drew a revolver and fired, as he claims accidentally, the ball passing through Drury's brain, causing instant death. Scott ~ hi~ ~nn and returned tn th1~ linteL I Tuhe .Her aId. TIHOS. F.

The Legislature appropriated 85,000 for the expense of having the State represented at the York town Centennial, which will take place some time next year. Congressional Amenities. A disgraceful scene was witness ed in the lower house of Congress the 21st between Messrs. Weaver and Sparks. Sparks said that Weaver had stated what was un true and that he was lacking in the qualities of a gentleman. Weaver said, "I denounce the gentleman personally as a liar on the floor of the House." Sparks replied, "You are a scoundrel and a villain.' Thereupon the two honorable gents shucked off their coats and made for each other, but a fisticuff was prevented by other members. Mrs. Cross, known in the world of letters as "George Eliott", die d in London the 22nd. Her- maiden name was Marian Evans. She was the finest female novelist that has ever lived. Among her best works; are "Adam Bede", "Middlem arch", and "Daniel Deronda". Col. Thos. J. Lipscomb was unan imnously re-elected Superintendent of the Penitentiary the 21st by the Legislature. The following gen tlemen were chosen Direc,tors: B. H. Massey, of Yor-k, Clinton Ward, of Edgefield, and E. S. Allen, of Spartanburg. Hon. A. T. Akerman, of Carters ville, Ga., died the 22nd. He was Attorney-General of the United States in 1870, and was for a time the leader of the Republican par-ty in Georgia.

Bratton, of Fairfield, was elected Comptroller-General by the Legislature the 22nd in place of Mr. Coit r-esigned. There was the heaviest snow in Northern Virginia the 20th and 21st known for thirty-five years. No Cure No Puy. Dr. Pierce's Family Medicines arec guaranteed to cure, for particulars see wrappers and pamphlets. They are reliable, have not sprung into pop ularity in a week or month and gone out of favor as rapidly, but being sus taiued by merit, have won a world wide reputation, necessitating a bran ch in London, to su pply foreign coun tries, while the home sales are enior moss throughout the United States Golden Medical Discovery purifies and enriches the blood, preventing fe vers, and curing all skin and scrofu lous affections, stimulating the liver to action, relieving billiousness, and curing consumption, which is scrofula of the lungs. If the bowels are cos tive take Pierce's Pellets (little pills). Both sold by druggists. CHICiAO, Ill., May 5th, 1879. WORLD's DISPENsARY MEDICAL As SoCIA TION : Gentlemen-For years I have been a great sufferer. My trouble first started with terrible ague chills and constipations. This left me in 1878 with a racking cough and frequent bleedings from the ilungs. Since this time I have becn continually doctor ing, con sulting physicians without number. From them I received no benefit or encouragement. The most noted physicians of our city who last visited me expressed their opinions in the brief but hopeless words, 'Take good care of yourself the few days you have to live, we cannot help you.' I grew steadily worse under their treat ment. One day, through reading your Memorandum Book I learned of the Golden Medical Discovery. With but little hope of relief, I purchased a bottle and took it. To my surprise a saisfaction it did me more good The Anuual Appointm ets of the N. C. Methodist Confer ence for 1881. F.
