WALHALLA, S. 0, t Columbia, S. O., February 2,1001.-We should have statod heretofore that on tho vote tn the House ou tho passage of tho Charleston Exposition bill, Mr. Brown voted against and Representative Thompson lu favor of tho passago of tho bill. Representativo Thompson introduced a hill permitting tho United States to ao qutre by purohaso aud condemnation suoh lands above tho Southern Railway in Spartanburg, Greenville, Ptokeus aud Ooonoo oountioR ns will enablo tho Fede ral Government to erect a great park or forest reserve in tho States of Tennessee, Goorgia, Nortli Carollua aud South Ca rolina. A bill has boon Introduced tn Cougross for this purpose, carrying an appropriation bf flvo million dollars, with a Duo prospect of success. Ono of tho disturbing factors hore is the oaao of Dean, Sheriff, against Spar tan burg co tm ty, by tho Supremo Court, deciding that the mass of special legisla tlon whloh has accumulated hore for years is unconstitutional. Joiut oom mlttoos have been appointed to .econ struct legislation along this Uno and they havo commenced their practical labors by reporting bills to replaoo this baue ful legislation. Uno of these bills flxos tho amount of compensation to bo paid to the county officers in tho various counties of tho State, tho same hoing graded in proportiou to tho population and necessary service required. Wo ap pond tho amount to bo paid thereunder to tho officers of Oe on ce county: Auditor, $712, $475 to bo paid by the State and $287 by tho oounty. County Treasurer, samo salary as that paid to tho Auditor, aud name propor tion to be paid by State and oounty, tho Treasurer to havo cost of $1 against each delinquent tax-payer alono for execution issued. Sheriff, $1,000, in liou of all costs and loos chargeable against tho county, aud lu addition 20 cents per day for dieting each prisoner while lu his custody, and aotual traveling expenses for himself and prisoners and lunatics whoa called boyond tho county. Clerk of the Court, in liou of all costs and foes chargeable against the county $250. County Supervisor, $550. Each County Commissioner, $8 per day, without mileage, for tho number of days allowed thom by tho law now in foroo. County Superintendent of Education $425. That tho mombors of tho County Boards of Education shall oaoh receive $3 per clay and 5 cents por milo for oaoh milo necessarily traveled, but not to ex ceed seven days in oaoh year. The Township Assessors to re?oive each $1 per day, upt to exoood two dayB in auy ono yoar, oxcopt whou real ostato is to bo assessed, when tho number of days shall not exceed throo, and no mllo ago. Mombors of County Boards of Equali zation shall oaoh receive $2 per day and not moro than three days, exoopt whou real estate is to bo assessed, whou tho days shall not exceed ilvo, and live couts por milo for necessary travel. Coroner, $125. That tho salaries and other compensa tion hereinbefore provided for shall bo paid by tho counties wherein the services aro rendered, except such portions thereof as are payablo by tho State under tho terms of tho act. Tho amount tQ bo paid tho Sheriff is largo in compai ison to what he bas here tofore received. Wo do not seo why tho Township As sessors should not recelvo the samo por diem allowed members of the Hoard of Equalization, with mileage added. Tho bill may or may not becomo law. Monday uext being snlesday many of tho mombors of both houses went homo. Practically nothing will bo done until Tuesday. Representativo Thompson introduced a concurrent resolut lou to allow a bill to bo introduced to charter tho French broad and Southern Railway, running from Asheville, N. C., vis Toxawwy, lo rickeus county, to Kesley or to Walhalla aud Changa crook, in Oconeo county. This road is to bo built primarily for the purpose of moving tho largo quantity of tine timber In tho mountains traversed by this road to tho Atlantic coast. A few bills havo passed both houses and been ratified, bu'; they aro mostly of a local character, and not important. A fight ls progressing here betwoon Charleston and Port Royal, growing out of tho removal of the naval station from tho latter place to the formor. The "deep water" at Port Itoyal sooms to havo lost Its attractions for the general government. The greatest question hero is the eon '*8t ovor "child labor" lu the manufac turing establishments in the State, and tho education of mill labor generally. Tho question has assumod a political oharaotor, and will doubtless bo precipi tated into tho next campaign. Thus far, after long and hot discussion, tho Legis lature has refused to interfere in the matter, aud your Senator .iud Represon tait ves are fully commute, to this phase of the question. On two occasions in tho House the majority along this line was large. Tho discussion of this qucs tlou before tho committees and in tho two bodies has occupied more time than all else before us. Compulsory educa lion ls held by some to bo a remedy for tho evils attendiug tho elevation aud education of factory operatives; but generally lt bas very fow advocates. Othor bills on tho subject of "child labor," as it is called, aro before both houses for action; but nothing radical eau pass. Tho smallpox scare has passed over, and everything in this respect is sereno. Burnt I pox oases lu tho State. Vaooina Uon 1? tho remedy. On Friday tho House discussed the subjects or interest ou money loaned, salo of tho State farni??, short speeches arid Sunday traius on railroad A. Inter est is to remain aa at pr?sent, no sal? of ?tate farms, spoeohee long and short vfill continuo to bo made, and one Sun day train ouoo a year to Goose Creek church waa authorised. Col. Brooks, o* Kdgefleld, has a bill before tho House to inoroaso the amount to bo paid to pensioners. Tho inoreaee is $50,000; but thia is not enough. Goor gia pays $700,000 a yoav, where ours has only been $100,000. Generally and incidentally the ques tion of taxes is ref erred to here. Oconoo people complain of high taxes, Say 12 milla. The tax in Union county ls 27 milla this year, seven of the mills being for educational purposes, Tho Senate diaoussod taxation of cot ton mill stook, bacteriology, phosphate rock, ito. Ou Thursday the Senate discussed the proprloty of compelling some of the rail roads In the State to take out ohartors, at tl other matters. There was a majority and minority re. port on Sonator Horndon'a bill creating aboard of pardons. Tho majority re port was unfavorable. The constitution of 1805 authoriees and requires the crea tion of a b<> ?rd of pardons. lu tho lb' HO a warm discussion oc curred over the appropriation of $20,000 to completo the dormitory at Winthrop Collogo. Tho truBteeV; hired labor and had the work eommonood instead of lot ting lt out to tho loWeaVresponsible bid tier and loss resulted.' Il o wo vor, the House, although in ill humor, carno to tho resouo of the young ladles at Win throp, voted enough money to completo tho butldlug, and Iriotoasod the capacity* of accommodation for tho students to the number of flvo hundred. This was the day on which one of tho child labor bills was killed by a vote of 00 to 82. Much dlBousslon preceded tho vote. Ou Wednesday in the House, a long discussion was had on the bill of Mr. Thomas, of Richland, to ro-oast . the school law, aud iuorease tho salary of ono or moro of tho officers ip tho offioo of tho State Super in tendon I of Education. The bill was def eat eii by alargo majority. Tho subject of marriage lioonse was debated. Tho opponents of tho moasuro contended that lt "squinted" towards a divorce law, and was, there foro, laid on tho table. A bill to compel tho Charleston Ferry Compauy, between Charleston and Mt. Pleasant, to carry passengers across tho rlvor at a reasonable hour, passed. Auothor bill, to limit the pay of mom hors to thirty days, was laid on tho table. Wo will bo hore, in all probability, for "forty days aud nights." Tho House also passed a bill giving to those who suffer "montai anguish" dam ages by tho failure of telegraph compa nies to deliver messages at tho proper timo. Every now aud then "lost bonds" or niuo Ridge railroad or bond script oomes up for consideration. The Supreme Court of tho United States has knooked tho boud script transaction of Mr. Wes ley "higher than a kito." In the Senate a bill, regulating the do livery of liquor, by railroads in dry coun ties, was,discussed and amended. Sena tor Horndou offered an amendment that a penalty for violation of the law be $500, but thia was lost. A bill to rogulato looal Are insurance companies was discussed, as were other matters. Tho drainage amondment to the con stitution was adopted, and a law will be framed at this or tho next - aesslon to carry out tho same. Tho House has passod a bill refusing to hire convicts for farming purposes. February 4, 1001.-Both branches of tho G?n?ra! Assembly woro iu session to day, but on account of the absence of mauy members nothing oould bo done except tho disposal of business of a looal nature. N Husmos.-* will commence in earnest to morrow and continue until adjournmout takes place. Tho redistricting of the State Into "contiguous and compact" Congres sional Districts is in order, but the pre sent members of Congress and those who want to follow in their footsteps aro feohorning for their own advanoement, aud may provout anything from being this session. John Marshall day was celebrated tn Columbia this evening. Judge Simon ton, one of tho Circuit Judges of the United States Court, delivered an abie and most instructive address on the oc casion.

In tho South Carolina and West Indian Exposition. In 1890 the State of Georgia made suoh exhibit at the Cotton States and Inter national Exposition, whloh baa brought millions of capital to Georgi?, X mean by uudovolopod resources, the minerals, stones aud marble, moro espe cially tho building and monumental stones and granite aud marbles of this SUte.

This same suc cess applies to the monumental and building granites of Georgia,. Now, your Exoellouoy, Soath Carolina has as fine marbles, granites a d build ing stone (moat of them undeveloped) as Georgia has. In this county and York county there ar? as lino marbles as can be found in tho world-arid as for Ano monumental granitos, South Caro- ' iiua excels In them.

If fi ve or six thousand of this could bo usod for Buob an exhibit as I : speak of, it would bring more capital to tho State than ali the balanoo of tbo appropriation. Will State incidentally that I collected and proparod the oxhibtt of monumental and building stones and marbles for : Georgia, having boen appolutod by Gov ernor Atkinson for this special feature. , And hoing acquainted with the forma tion of my own State (having traveled ovor tho greater part of it,) I am in a position to know what benoflt will bo dorivod from suoh a display, -??4?
