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

' 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<

An Act allowing all persons liabh

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."

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

Speaking of the weather, yester

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

while others think differently.

--DRAU CouiuKJt: Tho farmers all seem
to have terrace fever, and as it is not the
good fortune of every ono to own a level
or to he able to employ some ?nie else to
do the work, we give below some facts
which have been furnished us hy our en
terprising farmer friend, Mr. J. 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. With this harrow un
broken land can be well broken and pul
verized at same time to a depth ol' six or
seven inches hy going over it only twice.

In ponce let us pursue our daily

Wo think that Abbeville made a

reason we might just as well repeal
tho laws against theft and murder,
because thoy do not entirely prohibit
these crimes. That prohibition does
prohibit, we ask the eareful observa
