The monsces offered all cla*se* of moneyed investment by bills introduced into the Lea mature unsettled everything, and no effective work could be done for the development of the reaoitrcet of the Sta'e while this apprehension lasted.

Farmers generally have, by sad ixperionce, learned to make breadstuff and oine meat at home. There ought to be uore hogs on the farm. But to get the .verage farmer out of the old ruts made by its daddy, and his daddy's daddy, is no mall job, you may be sure. We "clodhoplers" are not half farming, anyway. We Inu't know how, and what is more, we don't ry to know. We don't read, we don't tudy our interest ns we should. Not one ut of a thousand knows the chemical proprties of the plants we cultivate ; not one in hundred knows the analysis ef the fert'liers he uses. 1 think I have known a farler to use guano by the car-load, not knowig what he was buying or the ingredients hereof. I rarely find a merchant who nows the analysis of the guano he sells us.

Several eery important Bills hare been cousidered, the more important of whieh is ihe great prohibition Bill. As I informed you in ray last a committee ef one from eaoh County was raised to whom was referred all the Bills on this subject. That committee tackled the ponderous documents with a good deal of eaergy, and aftor a long diseussion agreed to report unfavorably on all exoopt the oris known as tho Childs Bl'l. This Bdl was formulated by the Ex-Committee of ths Prohibition Party, and is cmsidered ironclad. After it' thorough disoasaion, it was decided to appoint a sub-committee of Ave to thoroughly consider this Bill, and report it back to the Targe committee w tb proper nmAndmontf f vmit* hnmKlu U onraianfeli va I whh placed on that committee) Oar prohibition brothers in the house were so fearful that the commitleo wou'd delay time in repor ing that thej paiscd a rssslulim te require us to report bj Friday noon, which was d >ne. and it was made a special order for Wednesday next, after third reading Ilills, and from day to day until disposed of. This Dill is looked upon with suspieion by some of the strongest friends of Prohibition as not the measure that the peopie want, and as not b.ung competent, from its provisions, to bring the rel ef asked for by the psople. It is very ponderous, emhraoing thirtyseven long sections, and comprehends a very o.implicated system for maneging this evil, and the chances are that it will be out up and amended so muoh that it may loose its dispensary feature before it is enacted into law, and it miy be killed entirely, and a Bhorter and more simple one taken up. The Governor's idea, as recommended in his annual message, acems to be Tery popular, and is gaining dally as bring the best way of disposing of this harrassing measure. His plan is to i*sue high licenses in incorporated towns aod cities, ns at present, but let the Revenue go into the State and County Treasuries, leaving the oorporati >ns to lake care of the drunkards, and meet expenses of the business in some other way than by using the funds derived from this business as they do now. It is known that many towns actually charge such high license that the reve nue derived in this way pays all the Town Taxes, ibis seems a hardship that our fellow citizens should pay the Corporation Taxes on property that was obtained, in many instanoes by ertorlion and high prices for the necessaries of life. Another very important Rill will be discussed ou Wednesday. A Joint resolution to require and authorize the State Treasurer to publish that ail bonds not met at maturity will be extended for the term of four years, at the same raio of interest as they now bear. This Rill will provoke a long, and perhaps b ttcr discussion. Anstlior measure is meeting with a greet deal of opposition by insurance companies, is te rcquiro them, before commencing business, to deposit with State Treasurer 000 in Stato bonds. This measure is sa d to lend to work a hardship on Insurance companies, andciuse them to raise rate) upon those who indu'gs iu tha luxury of insurance. TheSaliry 13iile in both House and Senate are creating a great deal of conjecture, and a feeling is increasing to do something towards reducing same. Tho Clemson College appropriation asked for by the Board of Directors passed to its third reading, and will perhaps meet with no opposition. It appropriates $40,000 and provides for its completien by May, 1893. This npprop-iation was asked for on the grounds that tho funds accruing from the CIcmson bequest, the Hstoh fund and tho privilege Tax, whioh ara alrotdy suhjoot to use for building and completing this formers college, cannot bo utilized as promptly its itm n?o?nei>ies of tho institution require at this time. This, perhaps, will be the last appropriation asked for, as tho resources of the Collego will bo sufficient to keep it np, when onoe un tor way. Our co'lesgue, CjI. T. C. Dunean, has introduced a bill to repeal the Free pass Act. It does not mest with much favor, and tho prophcoy is that it will bo defeated and leave tbo law ns it now stands. Our d legation nro all in their seals, ready and willing to look after the interests oi our people. and enjoying the bast of health. The Personnel of the present House, is said 10 be ahead of ihe last, and a spirit of conciliation is manifest, that Me hope may work for the go d ef all our people, occasionally a little tilt takes place, anl a little ambitira exhibits itself as in the ease now pending in reference to putting Charleston in the Seventh or Dlaek District. It is bsing strenuously opposed by the Charleston Delegition, but a grest many are favorable to the scheme, as a kind of punishment to the old "City by the S<-n," fir the manner in which she cast her vote in the list general election. It is sai l that she cast 0000 votes in the primary for Mr. Urawleyant only 1300. for Cleveland, and aga n it meets with favor when we consider the ability of Charleston to oirry the district In any eleetion for the Demeoraoy. Since ray last the Gevernor has been installed The afftir was con luoted in a very quiet way, only requiring ten minutes to sdutinistsr the oath of office to the Governor and Lieut. Governor, and to hear the speeehes. Bills are still pouring in, and appearances at present indicate that eur session will be proleuged to the holidays. Thanks for your kiqdness to us. ilevpeotfully.

On Wednesday, the inauguration of the Governor and Lieutenant Governor took place at 12 o'clock M., and was witnessed by a "orowded house and waller* " n? ^ -/ uv UW?ernor's address was very br ef, but replete with good senso and sound judgmsnf. Ho invited lbs attention of every member of the House, t) give his mossag-s a thorough and thoughtful consideration in all its ramificalions. A bill rooomtneading a constitutional convention, was the all-absorbing question of the day last Friday. After the subject was elaborately disoussod, it appeared that the House was overwhelmingly in favor of the movement. The great iron-clad prohibition bill was also taken up and made the special order for next Wednesday, at which lime a powerful discussion will doubtless take place. New bills are coming in more rapidly every day, and although the death roll is increasing, the recruiting rank* more than supply all deficiencies, and the ealendar grows daily. Union seems to be well represented in the State House.
