Tho Supremo Court of tho Stato hos decided that the Court of Probato it without j mi sdi o ? tion in the partition of real estate, and consequently all sales so made are oe yet of very doubtful validity. The defeat is io tho constitution, and cannot bo cured or ohanged by legislative enaotmont. --? . . From Washington. Congress convened on Monday last. The message of the President was read in both houses. The message is satisfactory generally, except in its reference to elections in tho South. In tho Senate, Mr. Blaine, of Maine, raised the bloody shirt in a s?rica of resolutions. In the House, an animated debate hot ween Wood and Cox, Domoorats, and Garfield and Hale, Republicans, took placo in roferenoe to the President's message, wherein tho question of -suffrage and elections in the South is men tioned. Prom Columbia. The Legislature has gone to work in earnest, and His stated in ali quarters that it will adjourn before the holidays. This course will give great satisfaction to the people. The election for United States Senator is yet to take place. Oovernor Hampton is tho only prominent candidate. Tho condition of Governor Hampton's wound ls a source of muoh anxiety to the people of the Stato. Our latest intelligence is, that his con dition ia botter. Dr. Kinloch, of Charleston, says it may he necessary to amputate his leg. Tho First to Suffer. The Supreme Court has dismissed tho appeals in tho cases of tho State against P. L. Cardoso and Robert Smalls. AU tho members of the Court filed separate opinions. F. h. Cardoso, it will bo romemborcd, was convicted of conspiracy to defraud tho Stato on tho 7th of Novombor, 1877, and sentenced by Judge Townsend to two years in tho county jail and to pay a fino of $4,000, or in default of the payment of tho fine to an additional year's imprisonment. Hubert Smalls was convicted of accepting a bribe on tho 11th of Novombor, 1807, and wns sentenced to three years at hard labor in tho State Ponitontiary. Motions in arrest of j judgment wore made in each case and the convicts are now nt largo on bail. Unless theso persons are pardonod or disre gard their bond, they will be punished. Smalls is a member of Congross and Cardoso fills ft publio offico in Washington! Vise Governor's ftlcssuge. Tho nnnual meesago ie from Aoting Go vernor Simpson, who states therein that {Vom the limited time ho has boen iu offioo he is unable to present an elaborate mes sage. On thc subject of taxation, ho refers to tho mode of assessment of proporty -for taxation and tho equalization of assossmcut throughonfc the State. He says chere is great necessity for change. Last year, he says, 110,239 children attended the publio sohools, wbioh is an increase of 14,000 ove* tho attendance tho year previous. Tho Governor is in favor of opening the University at an carly day. Referring to this suhjoot, ho says ho docs not noderestimate tho denominational ool Iogca which now exist in this Stato. They are contributing largely to tho eduoation of our people, and thoy well deserve tho patro nage whioh they rocolvo, and moro. But in order to complete our educational fabric, wo should havo a Stato institution not only worthy of the past, but fitted for the in creasing wants of the future. The general condition of tho mnlitia shows groat improvomont. Many nominal organi sations of tho National Guard, on inspeotion, ?had failod to moot tho requirements of law, havo hoon disbanded, but ail effective bodies have been retained, and tho Stato Volunteers have rapidly iooreased in numbers and ofnoionoy, and their oondition is highly credir ?able to their officers and tho people. Tho ?apply of arms and equipments, however, is /totally inadequate. At trifling cost, tho Palmotto monument oan be restored to ita original condition, and should be done. Tho material developemont of the Stato is warmly commended. Ho is in favor of tho the stook law-no fence-for the entire State. Thero aro 600 convicts in the Peniten tiary, whoso labor should bo utilized io some way, either in completing tho Co lombia Canal, reopening the Santee Canal, or digging phosphates-or all of these. He says truly: "If wo intond to become a great, strong Acid prospo/ous State, the mudsills of our building must be made of material devel opment. Ootumonoo witl/ that, and all - itreogtu ?ad groatneet r, JJ will como of thomsoNes." Tho Governor li io favor of reenacting tho lion law.' He says iu couolusion, he congratulates the General Assembly ?od the whole State upon the peace end good order wbieh hu marked the conduct of oar people daring tho past jeer, end especially during tba exolting circumstances of the political earn? paign through which we have just passed. Sinoo tho last war we have constantly olaimed that if the State could but be plaoed baok under the control of those to whom it rightfully belonged, on aoeonnt of their superior qualiBoatioos of integrity, oompotenoy and interest, free from foroign intorfereooo ahd domostio incompetency and misrule, that the violence and turbulence thereby engendered, and which woro fast beooming ohrooio features in ber history, would instantly disappoar and that peaoo and good ordor would immediately r?assort themselves. In 1876 this revolution was accomplished, and tho late campaign during tho present administration fully vindicates tho juatioo and truthfulness of our claim in that event, and should sileuoe forover tbo libels and slanders to which the char acter of the citizens of tbe State has been so'long, so unjustly and so shame fully subj oo ted. Wo as a peopto aro enti tled to rojoioo at our redemption from govr remontai misrule and its oonsoquouoes, and I feel euro that good men everywhere, nben they como to understand tho situation will join with us in our rejoioing, and will sympathize with us iu our struggle for tho permanency of that redemption. Lot mo axpress the hope that nothing will occur in the futuro to mar this rcoord, and that our people throughout the Stato will unite together in the preservation of the public peaoo and continued supremacy of the law. PROCEEDINGS OF THE LEGISLATURE, COLUMBIA, November 29, 1878.-lu tho Sonate, Mr. Gary introduced a bill to repeal i joint r?solution entitled "A joint resolution providing a mode of ascertaining the debt of she State and of liquidating and settling tho ??ame," approved March 22, 1878.

Tho -RCSsion of tho General A-ssonibly pro miscs, from tho indications so far observable, to be characterized by absence of excitement and a persistent attention to business. Roth houses appear to havo settled down at oneo to rontine work, and the almost universal determination now seems to be to drive thoir labors forward to a speedy termination. Litt lo feeling was mani? foaled over tho oleotion of officers, they being apparently regarded as mero preliminaries to organization. Altogether the general tone is satisfactory. Conservatism and earnestness seem to pervade all the members. In tho eleotion for Clerk of tho House Gol. John T. Sloan received 75 votes, James A. Hoyt 20 and W. 1). Motts 11. Both branches of the General Assombly ad journed over and enjoyed thanksgiving day. Gen. J. 1). Kennedy and ex-J migo Cooke are mentioned as candidates for Code Commission ers. Gen.

Tho new bill will make vory radical changes in tho presont method It proposes to abolish tho present State Board of Equalization, and establish a new ono composed of oue representative from each County Board in the State. Tho County Boards will also bo arranged so as to have equal representation of every portion. Some members advocate the entire abolition of tho State Board of Equaliza tion. ThiB is one of-tho most important ques tions likely to arise this session. Major Frazier, of Sumter, and Mr. Richard .Dozier, of Georgetown, ?re candidates for Judgo in tho Third Circuit. Gol. C. II. Simonton, of Charleston, is men tioned as ono of tho Code Commissioners. A Wonderful Trade Balance anti its Moral, Tho latost statement from tho bureau of statistios shows that for tho ten months cud? ' i ag Cotobor 31. tho ox?ese of exports of mer? ehandiso from tho country ovor tho imports amounted in value to $237,000,000. Tho excess of exports for the year will not thoro , foro fall below $285,000,000. This has ena* bled and will onablo ns to keep nt homo tho ' year's product of our.gold ?nd silver mines, 1 and to ad nocording to tho ascertained figuro* i for tho ten months, about four and a halt' mil i lions moro-un nggrcgato increase in our stook of precious mot?is during thc year of between ninety and ninoty five million dol lars. Thc current of trade is in fact Mr. i Sherman's boat ally. i But wo have not told tho entire story of tho . country's 'remarkable good fortune. The bal nuco in our favor is chiefly paid in bonds, ' scooks and other securities issued in thia country. It is estimated that wo owod at I ono timo tho nations of Europe fifteen hun 0 dred millions in government bonds, railroad stocks and all sorts of corporate and munioi Cal pledgos. This immense aggregate bus con rcduoed to the neighborhood of three , hundred millions-so low, indeed, that it is r said to be difficult to got togother in London s the bonds 'desired whon balances to this country are to bo paid. Another year will doubtless annibilato our foreign indebtedness, !" and, of oourse, tho annual drain of interest - money on that account. f This remar hubie result is not wholly due r to excoseivo ozports, largo ns thoy aro, but partly to a doorense in our imports. The ? value of imports for October waa bul$37,000,? OOo, or $28,000,000 leas than the ox porta, and o $6,500,000 leas than tho imports for the cor-? 0 roaponding month of last year. During the reign of extravagance that culminated in the '* oraah of 1873, our imports largoly exceeded >? our exporta, the excess ranging from thirty. niue millions to over ono hundred and oighty 0 million?. Inatoad of bonds coming homo wo |. sent abroad two hundred additional millions each year. This wont on until a condition o. 0 general bankruptcy waa roached and then a a radical ohnnge took plnco. We bogan to soil n more than wo bought. During tho yoar eada " ing June 30, 1876, the favorablo excess waa 8 $79.643,481, 1877, $151,152,094; 1878, 257, 786,904. The promise now ia that the balance d for the present fiscal year, ending with next 0 June, will be c von greater rising to some whore 0 about $300,000,000. Let no ono think that this grand result le ontiroly duo to an onforoed oconomy. It ia b partly due tc that, and partly to our inoroaaed it facilities for manufacturing, to our uso ol ,. machinery in tho making of crops, to om enterprise and industry nod indus try. We no longer import much iron and stool, and 'f and our importation? of cotton or woollen . goods are annually deoroasing. Wo are oven beginning to export these manufactured produots In considerable quautitios. At the same time we are making cheap or wheat, t pork and oven cotton. We grow nearly all ; the necessaries of lifo, and aro rapidly oom? 1 ing to manufacture both for homo use and export the ohief artioloa that wo formorly bought abroad. * We aro a fortunate nation in short. Wo s are M a people getting rioh, faster perhaps j than any other nation ever did. But are wo of the South got ting a proportionate part of the benefits flowing from tho favorable trade 1 balance? Assuredly not. And tho reason why soarcoly needs statement. Cotton that 1 ' ??IL-U^.JL?XI.L41'?L-IJJi.' i ? nu ?es.?ssl^j.

Northern factories find profite in almost every or ti ?lo we coner? mo. Wo find none in cotton. It ie, in fact, a groat quos tion whether we are not annually bocoming poorer, while the balauee of the country ls rapidly becoming richer. There Is only one way out of the diffioulty*-*-we must manufac turo moro. We must, nt least, attempt to supply homo consumption. Wo may talk and economizo and legislate until the oows oom? homo, and little permanent good will result while we permit other States to produce the wooden buckets that swing in our wolla and the coarse wagons on which our unproflt- I ablo bales of cotton are hauled to market, \Atlanta Costitution, Tho Couttitlon of dov. Humptott. There waa an unfavorable change in the condition of'Gov. Hampton yesterday, which caused considerable uneasiness upon the part of the people and telegraphic dispatches were sont to Charleston for Dr. Kinloch, and to Augusta for Dr. Campbell, requesting those gentlemen to repair at once to his bed aide. A speoial train left Charleston yester day afternoon with Dr. Kinloch, who waa expected horo last evening at 8 o'olook. We trust that by tho nkill Of tho eminent surgeons who have his case in band and thoso who bave beea summoned to their aid, and through tho moroy of Him who dooth all things wisely and well, that thia bitter cup may pass from our lips, and that the people of (hid Stato may shortly be able to praise God for his goodnoss to them in granting Wndo Hampton many moro y oars of useful ness.
