Comptroller Colt Resigna. Sovenor Nagood Acept His bResignation. 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 Assem 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 JbE'soHN HAGOOD, Governor. OFFICE COMPTROLLER-GENERAL, COLumBIA, S. C. Dec. 18, 1880. To Bis Excellency Johnson Eagood, Governor : SIt-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 Columbip at that time. Within one short moath thereafter, while engaged in an earn est endeavor to discharge faithfully the duties whish had 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 me. 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 thankful that the discovery ws 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 eat 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 court. Under these circumstances 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 tendled 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 ra:,ner 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. Vrery respectfully, JAS. C. Corr, Comptroller General. The Laurens Railroad. Facts and Gossip about the Forthcoming 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 first Monday in January next. There is considerable public in terest in the disposition of so valuable a piece of property. The sale will be made at public auction, and it is like ly that there will be a number of bidders, although it cannot yet with any certainty be predicted who will be S th purchaers or what effect the sale will have upon Charleston interests. Promiuent 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 -aid to a Reporter of 77te News and Courier yesterday that he was not fully posted, and coild give no definite information upon the subject. He had beard 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 680, 000 of these bonds, a large controlliig interest, and he presumed they would bid for the road. Col. S. B. Pickens, t!:e general freight agent of the South Carolina Railroad knew nothing about the probable purchasers of the property, but he 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. ---oe a An Act To PROVIDE A PUNISHMENT FOR CAa.RyIN; ANY DEADLY WEAPON CONCEALED ABOUT THE PERSON.

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 ibe 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 Gcneral drew a revolver and fired, as he claims accidentally, the ball passing through Drury's brain, causing instant death. Scott got his son and returned to the hotel, reported the shooting and was ar rested and taken to Defiance for safe keeping, there being much excite ment and talk of lynching here. His preliminary trial occurs on Monday. Drury was to have been married on Tsay.o The Keraxl TH1OS. F. GRENEKER, 2 -RS. W. H. WALLACE, NEWRERRY, S. C.

WORL's DISPENSAR MEDICAL As SocIATION : Gentlemen--For years T have been j a great sufferer. My trouble first started with terrible ague chills and aonstipations. This left me io 1878 with a racking cough and frequent bleedings from the ilungs. Since this time I have been continually doctor ing, consulting 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 ood care of yourself the few days you have to live, we cannot help you.' I E~ 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 ~ and satisfaction it did me more good B than all the drugs I had taken the C year around. I am now steadily using C it with J,enefit and recommend it to u all to be just what it is advertised. B Sincerely yours,L JAMES P. McGRATH, 50 Wright Street u ae Annual Appoinnnents of the 1. C.
