Subscribers who do not glvo express notice to tho contrary, are considered wishing to con tinue their subscription. # 2. If subscribers Older tho discontinuance of their periodicals, the publishers may continuo to send them until all arrearages uro paid. G. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from tho office to which thej directed, they aro hold responsible until they have settled their bills and ordered them dis continued. 4. If subscribers raovo to other places with out informing tho publishers, and the papers arc sent to tho former direction, they aro held re sponsible. 6. The courls havo decided that "refusing to taVo periodicals from tho oftioo, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, ls prima facie evi donco of intentioned fraud." G. Any person who reooives a newspaper and makes use of it, whether ho has ordered it or not, is hold in law to be a subscriber, 7. If subscribers poy in advance they are bound to give notice to tho publisher al tho end of their time, if they do not wish to continuo taking it, otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it on, and tho subscribers will be re sponsible until an express notice with payment of all arrearages, is sent to thc publisher. "TilE LEGISLATURE, In 1859, says tho Register, was in session three wcoks, passed sixty nots, at a cost of $20,000. Both sessions of tho present Gene ral Assembly have already ocoupiod ton wooks, only thirty nets havo been passed, and tho cost is about $120,000." This is no flattering exhibit for tho prosent reform-bod j, but we doubt not it has had many complications to contend with which have crippled ?ts working capacity and pre vented* such progress as could othcrwiso have been made. Besides, there aro, doubtless, very many'bills in various stages ot progress towards acts, and in tho last few days of the session tho work of tho body may incroaso so rapidly as to prosent a fair result for the eleven weeks. It is not the amount of legis lation tho pcoplo aro interested in, but its character and c ftc ct upon tho economy of the government and the encouragement it will afford to tho dovolopmont of the material TOsouroos of tho State. Wo aro untnformod what nets havo beon passed, but hope whon tho session closes tho people will seo in the work of the body many praotioal reforms which will in tho futuro sensibly roduoo the burdons of taxation. Tho country expects this, tho party promised this and tho pcoplo will not bc satiafiod outside of this. Two questions, which have ocoupiod much time, are the pnymont of tho interest on the funded debt of tho State, and tho pay of the members themselves. Todo the former would be just and in accordance with the cont tract onterod into by tho Stato under tho eon sol i dation not with persons acoopting its provis ions, hut at this time a t.tx (or tho purpose would bo burdensome Those opposing tho jnoasuro put their opposition on tho ground that no interest should bo paid on any bond until its legality has boon fully investigated and decided upon, and ai this cannot be dono beforo nnothor session, no tax need bo levied. On the other hand, the administra tion and its friends favor investigating tho bind*, but contend a tax should bo levied and bb in the treasury ready to pay so soon ns tho noxt Legislature has noted on tho bonds under a proper report. Tho Hnuso favors a tax fdr the interest, while the Sonato opposes if, ond'as yet no agreement has boen roached. The question of tho pay of the members themselves has excited a groat deal of dis cussion. The Houeo voted to pay the mem bers Ave dollars per day for tho two sosslons, whi would bo ampio compensation and woulu still bo nn not of reform, as under the existing law their pay would fur tho regular iossion be nearly thirty doll ur? per day and thf same for tho extra session. If ls true tr) consequence of tho long sonnions of -tho Badi* cal Legislatures they rarely? received above fWe dollar? per day.'tuough 'it wa? in form of A salary of $600. The session before Christ mas, lasting about' thretrwefeks, would bo etltitlod' to this salAry.thdugh-' itrw6uld ha unjust to oluini it, not only bodatiao' of tho shortness1 of the'scsslon; but'beo-nt?o n?th?r?fc . .-... .... ,;? ???;??? ? ? ? ?>**">>*!*IM? .whaler .*M aoeflinpliabeU, r^.-MOon of tho House uod?r the olroumstancos Is just to the tax payers and honorable to that body* IQ the Senate there' is a great dirleton of Opinion. Mr. Witherspoon, of York, intro? duood n resolution that tho mombors bo. paid $500 for the two sessions, and, advocated it with groat forco. Ho stated tho St ato was nopr>' tbe pay as, largo as it oould afford and ample remuneration to tho mombors, ond though tboy oculd not increase t'hoir pay, they could reduce it. ?be resolution was opposod by Messrs. dary, Crittenden and Moot zo, Democrats, and nearly if not all the Republi cans. Tboy contended that under the law they wero entitled to $1,200 for the two sessions, and they proposed to compromiso by taking $800. On u, cudi .tho veto stood (7 to 10. Messrs. Mootiei Crittenden, Evans, Gary and Livingston, Domoorats, voting with tho Republicana for $800:"'Mr: Cannon, of Spnrtanburg, then proposed to pay $100 for the regular session and $200 for the extra session, which was rojeoted by the same vote. On motion of Mr. Gary, a roto was then.taken that the Senate should hare no pay for either session, which wat lost by n voto of 15 to 12, our Senator , and all the Domoorats going for it. The $800 pay was then adopted by a rote of 17 to 10, tho Domoorats auppirtiug it being Messrs. Crittenden, Evans, Gary, Livingston and Meotr.o. Tho appropriation bill was then raised for pay of mombers from $75,000 to $94,500 to moot this increase The llouso has not concurred in the notion of the Sonata and wo hardly think it will. Tho Register and News and Courier are fighting tho question, tho Register gently re minding them that $800 por annum is equi va? lent to twenty bales of cotton, while tho Xe wa and Courier dubs the proceeding as the Salary Grab. Thero oan be no question under tho existing law but tho pay of members for tho tw< sessions would exceed $1,200; but this was t< bo a reform Lsgislnture, and for tho lengtl of the session $600 would be higher pay that was taken by the Republicans. The sossiot of 1875-76 lasted nearly five months cohnting adjournments, whilo it can bardi; bo expected the two sessions of tho presen body will last above three months. Wo wil not, however, quarrol about tho pay of th members, if proper practical reforms b introduced and pnssod. If gront good to th wholo people can bo accomplished, then th wholo people will rejoice nnd commend tho? who have been the instruments to work ou thnt good. Tho voto on the salary question is gnthofe from the correspondence of tho ivctcs an Courier, and it is our authority for the name voting for the $800. Usury* A friend from Bachelors' Retreat request us to publish an articlo from tho Grecnvill Enterprise on the usury law, being an ndvc ency of unrestricted interest. The nrtiolo long nnd its nrguments specious, singing tl old song that money is a commodity und worth what it will bring in the market ar that all laws limiting thereto of interest < money will be evaded. The writer furth alleges thnt tho present extravagantly hif rate uf interest it due to the "unsettled cond tion of tho government, high taxation, dill col ty nnd great delay of enforcing con i rael bankrupt laws and general distrust." Tl nrtiolo has much truth mixed with mat fallacies. It sets out with a falso premi and this leads througout to a false conclude Wo will bo glad to publish any commun cation from our Bachelors' Retreat friend < this subject, as <.ro desire both sides to I heard, but holding our views wo hardly thu we should seek out opposing articles fro other journals. However, wo will try publish the article on our outside next we? ns by request. Tho writer of tho article treats money an ordinary commodity and compares it goods of tho merchant and other chattel We have repeatedly demonstrated tbe falla of this position. Money is stamped by It and the usage and consent of nations wi peculinr powers possessed by no other kool commodity. Possessing no intrinsic vnluo it alono c pay debts, buy every thing nnd meet nil mai requirements, The law having given tl character to ?(should restrain tho abuse of by capitalists taking advantage of the necet tics of others. It is portable and easily concealed, millie of dollars being capable of being oncea on tho person, to bo brought furth to dca ti others through their necessities. It is imperishable virtually, which is i true of any other commodity, corn and otl products having to.be Bold in ono season or lost forever. As water is the substanoo by whioh specific gravity of ull other articles is fou so money is and should be the subject valuation of all commodities. Now watei fixed and so should be money, and all < would adupt-itsclf to it ns a standard of val If it varies in valuo thon there is no ccrtni in anything. Whilo interest is unlimited capitalists 1 novor invest their money in productive int try, but will food on the miseries of the j to tho injury of tho Stato and her mate interests.

Fur nearly a oentury State had on her statute books tho most st gent usury laws, and that sho prospered, great wealth of South Carolina prior to war abundantly proves.

To the Courier: It has been B?X weeks to daj since the General Assembly convoncd, ami ye we have passed no appropriation bill, the mos important work of tho session. Tho features o this bill has involved so many of thc interest: of the State (hat lt has elicited a great deal o discussion. The interest on tho public debt tho deficiencies of thc past year and the bonanzi claims have all been lugged into the discussion each having their advocates, either from inter?s or policy. Thc bill reported hy tho Ways and Mean: Committee of thc House only provided for th? interest on tho bonded debt, excluding tho de ficiencies anil tho bonanza claims. Upon iiii: subject tho members and Senators aro divide? into several classes. First, there arc those win favor tho interest clause of thc bill, with a viev to establish our credit, ia order to arrange soo to buy up tho bonanza claims, &o. Second there aro those who desire to provide for^efi aiencicB and bonanza claims. Third, lhere ar those who do not wish to make provision fo tbe payment of any of State's indebtedness fl tho present session. Fourth, lhere are tho? who desire lo repudiate every claim or del against thc Stale. With ibis wide difference < opinion the time of tho BCSS?OII lias becu wastei and ns yet nothing definite lias b en settled upoi Tho reasons why lite commit tee reported the bill providing for the payment of the interest o the bonded debt of the Stato are: First, boonu; our party has made peculiar pledges both in tl campaign before the election and in Carolir Hall last winter lo pay the interest as soon i possible. Second, because the consolidation a of 1873-71 is regarded ns a practical adjustmc of our bondod debt, the effect of tho aol bcii the sann as if tho whole incurmontof debt 1 tho Radicals had boen repudiated and our de Bet at thc same figures ns it was under Govern Orr ia 1808. Third, because of tho peculi provisions of tho consolidation act itself, whi would endanger our government and run aground, if the interest was not provided f< and thus keep out tho coupons of tho bom which are receivable for taxeB. Fourth, beean of a desire to eatablisli our credit, and rede? as speedily ns possible tho many promises low taxation, which wo have uo abundan) made. Fifth, because if no provision is mn at tliis session of thd* Legislature tho accumul Mon of i ni crest on t ho bonds will bo BO groat ll at tho next session of tho Legislature tho t will necessarily have to bo BO high that ( people onnnot bear it. These aro sear of the reasons that he prompted thc oomtnittee and tho House in th action upon this>mattcr. Thia is also tho dca of tho Governor and those who aro his ad vis and his counsellors, lt ia- desired,, however, tho House and tho Governor thai a oommiss shall be appointed to scrutinize tho bonds ( asoorlahfif they have boen consolidated acco lng tO'law, or if tho proper bonds have h consolidated. While hore might give reason why tho donclbuolen'and: bonanza cia wcr? not. provided for in tho bill This is t the character of somo of the defldidndies i the bonaaEtvelnims ar? such that (hoy must thoroughly- sifted and'overhauled'belford' pi me.nl, mid'for tho further rensort'' that a tai meet all theao olnimat would bo so enormous to burden'oor people with a taxation that'll could not bear at thia time.

Ry this division lu the Souato we havo wasted time, and if tho committee on free conference does not agree wo will havo to begin a new bill la tho House.

Many important' measures havo passed this week and will become law, 8uo1i as the fence or stock law in a modified form, law to rotate the Judges and chango the timo of holding tho couria, with roany ot hors of equal importance The only important matters now on hand for thc session, besides the appropriation bill, are tho impeachment of Wright and the election of | a Judge for (.bO/Fifth Circuit. . . ; ., This session has been attended with iii ni ny difficulties, and though the members bavo worked hard with two sessions a day, the session lias beon too long.
