OWEE COURIER. i ! R. A. THOMI'SON. I). A. SMITH. II. T, J.VY.SKH. Y THOMPSON, SMITH & J AYN KS.* 'HURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1800. Legislative Nous. WO Vosume tho consideration of jr the volumo of the Acts and Joint j. Resolutions of tho General Assom I ply of South Carolina passed at its [ recent Session : [ "An Act to provide for the ro ; vision, digest and arrangement of j tho Statute Laws of South Carolina," , is most important legislation. The ! Constitution of the State requires that this revision and digest of the j laws of the State shall be made ! ovory ton years. Kx-Judge Malier, j of Barnwell, a learned lawyer, was yk&eotcd by tho Legislature to per l fohn this important duty, and we :t hay? groat confidence in his ability .? mid experience asa lay wer, and bo Mllpvo that ibo duty will be well and fplmpartially discharged. He is to be * paid $5,000 for his services. He is I required, as provided by the Cou ll stltution, to form a ponai code by j making a revision and consolidation '? of all tho laws in force in this State i relating to crimes and the puuish 'J mont therefor, and shall revise, ^ abridge and simplify thc rules, prae tice, pleadings and forms of use in .)$this State in the trial of crimes mid ! misdemeanors. The penal code and ;{ tho digest and revision of the Stat I uto Law is to be reported to the 4 legislature for the final action ol" j that body. ! The "Act to provide fort lie budd ying and maintenance ol' the Clemson ! Agricultural College,1' appropriates $?48,000 for that purpose. In the ||Voftnva88 preceding the session ?il* the ^Legislature, which passed^ this Act, V tho friends of the institution pun Mtondod that it could be put into j? operation at very little expense to [Idilio people, by using the funds be <r.longing to the ,Wnnors under the ^'control of the State, to wit : #12, fl 000, interest on the fuml given by i;|,thi CoiVgress of the United States for ' the purpose ol' founding an ..Agricultural College; the Hatch M .' fund, #15,000, for an Experiment j Station; tho fertilizer tax, #20,000; C roaking in all ?J 17,000. Hut the j opponents of the farmers said, "run j your hands into the treasury ol' the ^^tato and take tlje money from I tho re," hoping in thal way to make capital out of their view of lim way tho appropriation should be made. '!c*j?ho contest will continue until these ' appropriations conic from the proper j'- source, sp that the people may see I that they do md have necessarily to I pay heavy taxes for even the bene j fits of tho Agricultural College. ? An Aot was passed authorizing 1 tho Board of Directors of the lVni ! tontiary to lease or purchase a farm lf4>h which to work the convicts ol' tho State, saying thal the price for i t'ae same shall not amount to more f?.tlan #40,000, and that thc convicts S shall not be leased or hired hereafter ' to work in thc phosphate mines. J? All such legislation, especially buy ,lvHng a farm upon which to utilize ide I labor of the convicts, is wrong. The convicts ought to be kept in tin' , Penitentiary at hard labor and close j confinement. The hiring and leas / ing of convicts has been a scandal to tho people of thc State. They ' should be put to trades or other : labor in the State prison, and md bc i treated by avaricious contractors like ; dogs, mid abused in a shocking inan ; nor. The State, owning the phos phate rock, could well alford to enter : upon . the manufacture ol' guanos, . and sell thc same at cost to thc pco j plo of the State. Wi- commend I this view to those in authority, li Tho Legislature continues to id chango the time for holding the .? .Circuit Courts in the 8th Judicial -'iii Circuit. The courts for Oconee will ?be held at Walhalla on thc fourth . Monday in February, the lirst .Mon day in July, and the lirst Monday in Octobor. All persons interested in tho courts "will take due md ice and ! govern themselves accordingly." An Act requires that the polls al Vd all State elections shall be opened al H HCv?n o'clock in the forenoon ami ;p dose at four o'c lock in thc after '1 noon of the day ol' the election, and g shall be kept open during these hours I without intermission or adjournment; .? and all persons offering to vote shall j bo sworn by the managers thal they i'ftro qualified to vote, and have nol |voted during the election. An Act to amend the law in re flation to the "probate ol' deeds oi i other instruments in writing foi a record," passed both houses and b : nov/ of force. An this si al un- i; ' very important we will publish lin ; entire Act in a short time. Wi will also publish entire the Acb ' amendatory, relating lo labor con ; tracts, in relation to jurie;;, relating I to tho manner of taking renuncia tion of dower, relating to (he aliena ; tion of homestead, and in relation t< gah. An Act allowing all persons liabh ito perform road duty in the Count; j of Oconee, and who reside outside o tho incorporated towns and village: Vsjj&f said county, aie hereby authorize* 'iW^Vit 1to tnc ^,<m,lty Treasurer ?

Tins news is {?(tte, but it will bo good for next year. Tho Republicans Would Reduce the South to a Condition of Political Vassalage. On last Saturday Congressman Lodge, of Massachusetts, Chairman of tho House Committee on tho elec tion of President and ViCO-Prosi dont, and Repr?sentatives in Con gress, introduced Ids long-talkod-of bill to regulate the elections of Rep resentatives in Congress. It is a carefully prepared and shrewdly drawn bill of twenty-one sections, being a combination of tho Austra lian system, (but emasculated of its chief virtues,) with Federal control of elections. Thc Australian system, as in force in Massachusetts, is pre tended to be adapted and applied to all Congressional and Presidential elections in all the States. Such is tho avowed purpose of the bill, hut Oil close examination, it is seen that tho excellency of tito Australian sys tem is completely annihilated. This system, ns ttow itt force in Massachu setts, maintains inviolate the secrecy of the ballot, and each voter lins to read ami write bis own ticket, thus practically enforcing nu educational qualification, for no one eau vote correctly and intelligently without being able to rend and write. But this excellent system is emasculated of this, its chief virtue, by providing that voters who cannot read or writ?', and consequently cannot mark their own tickets, may have tickets marked for them by one of the supervisors of election. Mach polling place is put in charge of six supervisors, three from each political party. So far tho election is in control of tho States, but the bill provides that upon the petition d? li ve hundred voters in any district, thc Federal Government will take absolute control of thc election, by appointing the managers and super visors of elections, and place all the [Deputy Marshal:-, around tho polls that may be deemed necessary. And just here is where thc sec tional string comes in, and secures its practical application to tho South only. lt. proceeds on the idea that tho people and officers of the States are not to be trusted, and that purity, patriotism and loyally to the government is vested in Congress, and not in the States. In the North and Northwest, if either party should get up such a petition as this bill requires, showing a want of confi dence, or a suspicion of dishonesty on the part of the State officers, it would be justly repudiated by thc people nt the polls. Here, however, il will bo easy to get five hundred negroes lo sign such a petition; ami tims thc effect will be that in the North the elections will bo held by the Stale officers, while in thc South they will be held by Federal officers appointed by thc Republican adminis tration. One will bo nominally a lie ' publican ; another nominally a Demo, eral, but no decent democrat need ever I expect tobe appointed. Tin- result will inevitably 1)0 the precipitation of a condition of things in tho South similar to the reconstruction period, followed in its wake by a bitter con I Mid of races, insuring at Inst the more I perfect supremacy of the white ratio. ; There is no use in disguising the tact, that the while people of thc ' South will preserve themselves and their government free from negro domination, and no force bill which a Republican Congress can pass, can ; ever impose upon the Southern peo ! pie again the horrors and humilia tion of tlie reconstruction period. lilli every power which the bitter and partisan Republicans can bring : to boar will bc used by them to per petuate (heir supremacy, even though ! it involves the kindling anew of all thc strife and consufiou of thc recon struction period, and the suppression Of the material prosperity which is now being achieved by thc new South. Thc Northern capitalists, regard less O? party affiliation, who have I invested their money here and bc I come identified with our material development, will deplore with us j tho inevitable result that will follow tlie new political crusade against the South. Congressman Crisp, of Georgia, one of tin ablest Southern Rcprc* SOU tat I VOS, speaking ol' the political situation, to thc Washington corres pondent fd' the Atlanta Constitution, , any* i "Tho Republicans from thc Prcsi , dent down, seem to have lost si^lil ; of any other question save the one . so unnecessarily-and I think crimi ' nally raised hy thom-in respect lo the political condition of the negro Jill ihe South. I have never seen j such bitter political prejudice fis ex ' lists boro now on the part-of the nv j:, o rage Republican politician against H j the South. They seem willing tc j subordinate all other matters, except, i j perhaps, their decision to obtain largo appropriations for questionable* objeets, to their purpose to so inter fere and meddle with affairs in tho South as to stir up strife between the races and thus bring about dis cord and disorder. Looi at Southern appointments. Tho administration seems to prefer to appoint incompe tent colored men to important'offices rather than select competent white Republicans to such places. What good end can be subserved by such a policy as that? The majority in Congress judges of the election of members from passion and prejudice and party feeling, rather than from the sworn evidence. They want what the people did not give thom-a good working majority-and having obtained that, they avow an intention to pass laws that will place all the machinery of elections in the States under the control of the Republican administration. They have bad such a law once, and they want it again a law ostensibly passed to secure a free and fair election. Vet it is nothing more than a law to cheat and defraud the people and perpetu ate themselves in power. The coun try is Democratic. The party in power know it. They feel that un der any law which permits the free expression ol' the popular will they will bc repudiated, and in their des peration and desire lo retain power they seek to pass a law that will ena ble their returning boards to count them in, even Uiough a majority of the votes east may bc against them." "It cannot be operative in the North," said Mr. Lane, of Illinois; "il is clearly intended for thc South. lt will bc a great outrage upon the people of the South if passed. How ever, I doubt if it ever becomes a law. ll is undemocratic, a step to wards centralization, and is a direct stroke at local self government." Our Seneca Correspondence. SKxKOA, S. C., .Mandi 18, 1800. The weather is always a good thing to talk about, and we will just mention that last Sunday morning was by far the coldest of the season. Thermometer registered as low as fourteen degrees below freezing. A few marlins had put in nu appear ance, but I guess they found they had made a miscalculation as to thc time to come. Speaking of the weather, yester day, between two di 1 three o'clock, the cry of lire was heard, and it was found that tlio Masonic building had caught near the ground and in a very few minnies would have been in Haines. 1 Icing in day time, it was dis covered in lime to be extinguished before much damage was done. It is fearful to think whnt might have been the consequences lo our town if thc fire had gotten under way. It is thought by many lo have caught from a spark from a coal engine, while others think differently. Our townsman, Mr. J. II.

O. Arm strong: To make a terrace level, to ono piece straightened scantling J X 0, 12 to 10 feet long, nail across it at one end ono piece same thickness and width tltl'CO feet long, and to the other end nail an other piece in ?arno way and of same di mensions. NY hon this is done you have a two-legged hench, and if your long lop scantling is straight on top edge you aro now ready for an ordinary spirit level, which you confine about middle ways the long scantling. When tint, is done you have a very accurate and simple terrace level. To convert this into a ditching level, if it is 12 feet long and you desire to give J inch fall in that distance, saw oO" i inch of one foot of your bench; if 1} inches tall is desired, saw oil' one foot 1} inches. If you have no level Messrs. Coleman Ai Co., of Seneca, koop tho spirits bottlod for sale ai 15 to 25 cents oneil, and a person with ordinary me chanical ability yan soon slock it. Mr. Armstrong says that it is a very good idea to locate terraces now, but that they will stand much helter it' Inuit up in April or May, as they SOOIl become coated with grass and are m this way made much stronger. Our farmers are well nj? with thc times in t hc use of improved farming tools and machinery. Mr. K. 13, Veiner has just received one of tho latest improved cuta way disk barrows, which is ono ?if thc best pieces of machinery of its kind we have ever seen.
