Our superior arrangements hayo enabled Xis to present QOT. Simpson's mossago in full to our roadors this week. Wo shall ondoavor at all times to lipread beforo our readers tho latest intelligence from all quarters. Tho Legislature Met in Columbia on (bo 'JOtb instant, but we have au yet heard nothing of its proceedings. Tho body is largely Democratic, und can pass auy measure that may be deemed promotivo of tho public welfare, tho'Netts and Courier, speaking of tho unfinished business of Inst year, states that there aro thirty four unfinished bills and joint resolutions, though but few of them aro of much importance. It mentions two propositions to amend tho Stnlo Constitution so aa to have tho Stato aud Congressional elections on dille rent days. Wo ogroo with thc Netos and Courter that if it be desirable to separato these elections, tho two box law would accomplish that end as well nud prevent tho excitement nnd loss of tiiuo consequent upou two elections. 'Ibero arc also several bills to amend, thc elcc 'tiou laws as to voting precincts, also lo regulato ?costs. Tho last we regard as a matter of im portance, for in rare cases do public officers iu ditfevcut counties tax tho samo cost Tor tho sanio services. Wo want to see costs reduced and thc luw made so plain aud intetligiblo ns to be impossible to bc misunderstood. Tho fence law is to bo amended and a registration law passed, as required by tho Constitution. Tho school question and a law to regulate the salo of patent, medicines is also among tho unfinished business, also a bill to prevent aud punish thc intermarrying of tho races. Tho News and Courier thinks this matter should bc left lo regulato itself trusting to a wholesomo public opinion to keep it down. In this wo do not agree. Wo believe it should bo inado a criminal offence for whites and blacks to intermarry. Such laws exist in several States, mid wc should have them hero, for Ibo sake of peace as well ns morality. People cannot and will not endure such unions, and whenever nttemptcd il often results in a breach of thc penco or sonic act of violence. There aro always found men and women, who havo little enough respect for themselves and their raoo lo form such alliances, aud, if tolerated, what is now of rare occur rence is too apt to become more common. On tho subject of now legislation, tho News and Courier calls attention to a number of changos in tho law recommended by thc press of diffe rent counties, as follows. "There is a general desire for improvement of the homestead law, either by bill or by nu amendment to tho Constitution. Tho codifica tion of tho laws of tho Slato is a desirable work, and is strongly urged by tho Camden Journal. Aiken ncods a Court House, and tho Journal and Review calls (he attention ol' tho Legislature lo it. Tho Barnwell People urges that it bo made a penal offence, as iu Georgia, to carry j concealed weapons. In several quarters lt has been suggested that llioofTico of Cornily Auditor bo abolished, Thc duties of publio ollicors generally, as thc KBOWBE COUIUKR points out, needs defining. A change in the law in relation to tho liens of mechanics, is also advocated by tho CovniKR-that tho sub-laborer bo required to go to tho owner of Ibo premises and notify him Hint he is going to work ou thc building aud that bc will look lo him for pay. A change in tho insurance law is also recommended, with tho view of compelling tho companies, in case of losses by fire, to pay to tho assured thc whole amount upon which thc company received pre miums. We think Dial (he Legislature should mako Immediate provision for thc citizens of South Curoliua who lost a leg in service, or in consequence of service, in the lato war. Such an act was passed in 18l>(>, when $20,000 wero appropriated for Ibo purchase of artificial legs. Tho Stale can afford to do this for those who did so much for lier." Among Ibo items of proposed legislation, wo regard the amendment of thc Constitution in reference to the homestead and in other particu lars; thc passage ol'a plain ami intelligible fcc bill, reducing costs considerably ami (bc revision and codification of thc Statute law as (ho most important. These matters should rcccivo tho prompt and special attcntiou of tho Legislature. Tho County Debt. Wo aro informed by thc Clerk of tho Board of County Commissioners that tho unpaid dobt of tho county for past years amounts to $1,003.78, and for tho present year $1,397. 93, aggregating a county debt of $3,001.71. Tho creditors of tho county nro clamorous for tboir pay, some of them threatening Mm, and no man can deny but that thoso debts being duo and allowed, should bo paid. How cnn this bo done? Wo can seo no way but tho lovy of on extra lox, und if such courso bo found nocossary, our Logislattiro should act promptly and fearlessly in tho matter: In thoso hard times a Binall addition to tho tax nf each individual will provo a burden but how about those to whom tho county owos a ooneidorablo debt for goods or work and labor expended under n fair contract? Shall \hoy be ruined, whon nn honest debt is duo them, and which could bo paid without sori oua inconvenience* Wo hnvo always con tended that prompt payment would stive tho .county money, for a cash transaction invites competition and low prices. Whon, howovor, ajeontractor i9 loft in uncertainty ns to tho time of payment, all public work is J. ft to those who havo capital, at their om pricer. If now to high prices for w.ik be added emt against tho county, who oan question but that it ia true economy ae woll ns honesty to moot these debt?. Tho expected fund from tho railroad is uncertain, as .ludgo Bond hos again granted an injunction in favor of the Air Line Railroad, and the fund, if realized, Would not settle our psst debt. Ho is the ..." lost flnnuoter who looks difficulties squaro io (be fuco And proparos to moot them, though it may cost hardship aud self denial. Thoeo debts mast bo paid, and tho sooner tho bettor. If tho existing county debt wore our only trouble, wo would caro little for it, but the futuro is by no moans inviting. Tho lowest basis of taxation, tho valuation of last year was: Real cstato, $1,104,124, and tho per sonal proporty, $455.97G, aggregating $1.620.114, which, nt thrco mills, would ruisb $4,800.34. Tho valuation for next year, ns reduced, it: Real estate, $920,293; personal proporty, $431.83 3, aggregating $1,357.62 0, will rai80, ot three mills, $1,072.57, a con? 1 siderablo falling off. If wo hnvo been annu ally falling bohind on a higher valuation, it is easy to seo wo cannot meet our annual expensos on tho rule of thrco mills. Tho loading items of county cxponsos last year wore courts, including stationery and lunacy, $1,035; constables, *529; Trial Justice* $200; Clerk, $119; Sheriff, $G2-1; County Commis sioners, $108; Poor House, $500; bridges $'IG5; aggregating tho sum of $4,-192, npnrt from tho numberless expensos, which would foot up in nil ovor $5,000. Will our oxpensos hext year bo loss? Wo think not. Thoro aro uow live prisoners in our jail and four at ?\nderson, ut an expenso of $9 per month, and il tho numbor docs not increase, it will hardly diminish. Wc hnvo tho prospect of a long and expensive criminnl Court in tho spring, und considering tho hard timos and scarcity of provisions tho Poor House expenses ure likely to bo bouvier, with u probability of of heavier bridge expenses. Wo can hardly oxpeot that a tux of three milla will fall less Boort than $1,000 to $1,600, in mooting tho oxpouscs of next year. Wo must look theso matters squrely ii? tho face, pay our past debt aud strive lo economize Tho Blue Ridge Railroad. This great enterprise, tho lino of which Wu8 indicated in bis day by Mr. Calhoun, and tho work on which was begun nearly twenty years ago, bas boen snfTcrcd to lio dormant fur scvornl years. Tho litllo work dono on it by thc Radical party after tho war was mero of a speculation than un honest desire to completo tho road and bcnelit tho State. Thc great importando of tho road bus been lost sight of in the bad management of tho party in power and tho lino of connection with tho Wost marked out by nuturo seems about to bc abandoned. Sholl our poople permit this without any effort to complete tho road? Shall this line bc superseded bv other and more distant routes, and our Stnto bo insulated by roads bordering hor Western frontier and currying trade und travel into Georgia and North Carolina. Wc hope not. Tbisrotld .-bonld bo completed ns n convenience and as II necessary stimulant to tho develop ment of our own State. Wo have always contended that its completion was a certainty, marked out by nature and demanded by our interests, but lill must admit that tho longer it is delayed tho more injury wo sustain. Wo can conceive of no moro importunt mutter demanding tho attention of our present Legislature than the completion of this road. Il may bo wo uro unable to appropriate money at this timo to this end, but ennnot some scheme bc devised whereby n privnto corpo ration would take the work and carry it on: Wo think if tho Legibluturo would pass un act donating tho interest of thc State, if any, in tho road lonny company who would under take its completion, and further, would donate to such company three hundred or more cen. viols without wages for a proper length ol time, tho company to feed, clothe und guard them, that somo onf> in a year would, with thc work dono, undcrtako tho completion ol thc road. This would OOSt tho State nothing for wo bclievo there uro now about ?c?er hundred convicts on tho penitentiary rolls and many of them uro funned out nt nomina wages. If crime continues, in Uro years wi will have fifteen hundred idling uwuy theil time, while this grout enterprise is neglected If no company will undertake the job then tin State could carry it on at little expenso will convict labor and thus reap the great bcnelit likely to flow from it. Would tho road, in ll pecuniary point c view, bo a paying investment? Wo think i would, ns it would bo tho shortest lino fror thc grain and meat producing sections of iii West to tho sea const and to tho cotton bolt ? tho South. Wc reason further from tho trad and travel over thc Air Lino Hoad, wilie now is remunerativo, und which with th development of thc country, will Incroni annually. Wo understand that fourteo freight und four passenger trains wero or gaged on this r';ud one day last week, ar, that with its immense rolling stock nu splendid road bcd, it is barely able io do tl business demanded of it. Would not n dire connection with tho West pay oven bett than this great thoroughfare, and as ll country becumo mero populous and tl mineral nnd manufacturing rcsonrcoa abu this lino wcro dovelopcd, we might PO.'O eeo (dodo tho business) of tho road won ioe.ioa-e. In fact, if completed, this roi would become nt onco a feeder to tho .\ Lino Road, to a projected road from Wi halla, Seneca City, or Anderson to Suvunn and also alford i\ direct connection willi t son at Chnrlcston. Who cnn estimate l business of such a road and who cnn tell immense inllucnco on tho tho local dovelo mont of tho country through which it wot pass? It is nn enterprise worthy tho co sidoration of our State Tho political influence of the completion this road is a mutter of no sundi importan Tho South and Wost, ns nn ngricultu pcoplo, aro nnd should bo closely allied politics, but thoy nro by railroad connocth and trado so remote from each other ns to f no interest in common. While wo buy fr tho West nnd tho West from il?, all our tri pnsscs through tho Eastern States, and i West fools no interest in us, us their r friends and tho consumers of their prothu Our cotton, rico und sugar go North whort is manufactured and prcpurod (pr market it from thence to tho Western customer, wi their corn, meat and flour reach ns in samo remoto way. Neither looks to other as connected in interest, and hot their influence in the government is thro with tho Mastern Slates. Oivo us onci direct routo to tho Wost and our trade well as travel would go directly to that s lion, and a common Interest would com mo ecotiut)8 politically. Wo would find in a Tow years that tho lMuo Ridgo Road would beoomo un important fuotor iu our national elections. AB it now is, tho North, by linde and railroad connections is bound to tho West and Munds between us and that section, - .--? ? ? [From tho Abbovillo Press nud Banner.] Walhalla, Oconoo County.

Children ( aro easily imbued with tho ideas of their ^ parents, and if they show on interest in cdu- ^ cation, that interest is suon truusfcrrcd to tho child. Parents du not seem to apprcoiato tho ^ valuo of oxamplo to their children, nor do they seem to understand haw closely a child watches evory action and lR>w bard tho child tries to imitate and do exuotly es papa cr | \ mamma does. This is a very imperativo | < reason why they should show moro interest. Ono notion of a purent luis more influence, ! j for good or evil, with a child, than many words. How is it right to reiuso them an 1 example in thia case? By no means givo i them tho advantage of it; explain to thom your motives in tho matter and seo if it will j f not create a dooper interest in their ached j a work. Children ure warned sufficiently ? o against evil, but they do no receive enough | u instruction or ex mn pies in the good they j c should do. Thc people of tho county should . . show moro interest in educational mattera, if not on their own account, on account of and fur tho benefit of their children. Knowl edgo is a good heritage, and yon cannot lcaio your ehildron a better legacy. It ia u legacy j that no ono can be deprived of, and it is j au investment that pays good intersst.

Parents should seo to it that tho guardians of their P childrens' educational welfare should be itu y tcllectual, teachers of ability, moral worth and thorough education. Now fruin all tl.io cannot tho people of the county seo that they should manifest a deep interest in our Union? Should they not exert themselves for their childi en? Should they nut endeavor hy their presence and aid tu stimulate the teachers lo renewed efforts? Now will they do sn? | r Tempus OMI??'? confirm?t, and wc will sie The touchers of thc county.

Since Sam'l Tibien is out of tho question, Sam'l Randall is talked of in some quarters. In tho general confusion Randall's boom was overlooked. It is young, but enterprising.
