A conductor on tbe Chicago and Alton Railroad is reported as having forbidden honeymoon "billing and coo ing." Observing a bridegroom's arm Out of plscc, he forbade further demon strations. "But 1 have a right to hug her," said John. "Not on a Railroad,' eaid tire Conductor; "there is a law now against all unjust discriminations on Railroads, and as I haven't a woman for each man on the train to hug your ac tion is in violation of ths law, and must be stopped." T:iK SriciAL Session.?Thoso who profess to ba informed sav that tho 'special session ot the Legislature, which convenes on the 21st October, hss been t called to consider the recoot decision of the, Supreme Court in the Morton & Bliss bond case. A bill is to be pre seated, and it is expected that it will pass, taking away from the comptroller tho power tolcty a tax to pay the inter, j est on the bond. Should the Governor veto the bill, it is osscrtod that there is no doubt but that it will be passed over bis head. The bill will be an exact copy of the one ratified last year, which was mysteriously lost on its way from ! the enrolling committee to the Governor. ?Macs & Vruricr. A Detroit paper relates the following story in connection with the dog tax in that city: "A boy about ten years of age, leading a lively little dog, called at the Central Station and asked if that was the placo whero they shot dogs. Being answered in the affirmative, he said: "Well, please shoot triy poor little Dan. He's an awful good dog, and he plays with the baby all day, but father's dead, and mother's sick, and 1 can't raise money to get a license." Then turning to the dog tho boy stroked him saying, *Poor Dan ; how Billy will cry when I tell him you are dead 1' Great big fears rolled down tho boy's fuco and in a little time those around him made a purse sufficient to save his ddg, and a yrsoa went with him after the license. The boy's eyes fairly spark'cd at his unexpected luck, and, speaking to the dog, he cried, Mint you're saved, let'ago right home to Billy 1" Tho flow York Herald's money article 'of Sunday, under the head of Southern Securities says: "The dealings in this * market wexe so limited as scarcely tt deserve commea*. An effort is again being made to foist some of the worth less issue* of South Carolina on the mar t, nnd to again soduoo tbe public into )uying bonds which sooner or later must undergo material chango for the worse. Those efforts arc stimulated by a recent decision of the Supreme Court of that State, which unfortunately, as we nro informed, cannot be reviewed by the Supreme Court of the United States. The people of South Carolina will u n questionably pay with cheerf ulnoss what it legitimately due on their public debt, but whs temper ef tho Stato, if we may judgo from the tone of its press and tho statements of its leading citizens, is fiercely antagonistic to any swindle, even though it be perpetrated by a legislature sod enforoed by a court." Tns J.atb Duel Brrwiir* MM. JtAHa *kd CABBAQNAC-y-Tbe Pari? GauloiB gives the following details of the recent encounter botwoon MM.Raoo and de Casftagnao, tho foomec recently elected to the French Assembly by the . Radicals, and tbe latter being editor ol a bitterly hostile Paris journal. The duel was fought on the 7th instant on Luxembourg teritory. The Gaulois says: la the Srst assault, after a feint, M. de Caseaguac received a wound which, beginning above hid glove, ran up the foroafna nearly to the elbow. Four times, without interval or respite, did their weapons meet, and each timo there was a succession of thrusts, parries aud feints, performed with almost magical celerity. Twice the adversaries came into bodily [contact, and then it was that M. do Cas sagoo took an opportunity of pouring off the blood whi^ch lillod bia shirt slsev**. The duol lasted fourteen minutes, and tha seconds proposed a euspoosiou which M. de Caesagnae refused, as he fca>-ed that his fore arm might bcoomo weaken by the los? of blood. In the fifth bout M. de'Casvngnac made a rapid niovc ment, ?anrl'M. Rano, jumpi ng aj?ide, re ceived a cut on the upper- part of the arm. A stream of blood began to flow and tbo arm foil powerless. Hi* adver sary's weapon bad pcucruted deeply. Further combat was inp >3->iblo, as Ins seconds agreed. Without, uttering a word the two adversaries saluted o.?ch other, nud withdrew with their friends. THE OEANGEB.URG NEWS Ai'GlSTlJN B. KXOWLTOX, .

[ j^isl i ISATIKDA1, ? SKPT. 13, 1873. The result of the recent election was surprising only to those who were unac 1?ainted with the results of the regis tration. On Monday evening t,ha Republicans booime aware th it th o Independents' were in a majority, and, in effect, gave up the struggle. This they did the more readily as the Inde pendents had widely placed upon* their ticket no njan who, pSity prejudice aside, was not esteemed and respected by our citizens generally. Vio.haye been fairly and squarely Im-;, ten nod wo Utipht as well mrif up. Aim! we are ouu5\K nt that the ""^efijig of dir>np]ir>iutmcnt which naturally re ? alls from a defeat will bo entirely for gotteu if our aucccssful opponents will bring to their administration of uur municipal affairs (as we believe indeed tbey will) a spirit of fairness toward tneu of all colors and parlies, and a desire, demonstrated by works, to favor rather thau retard that rapid yet healthy growth of which Orangcburg has al ready shown herself so capable. Let us have now streets, a towu Mar ket, a public weigher, and several other necessities and we shall gladly shake I bands with Oraugoburg's Torn Council i rlect. A Grate <fcm Mtion. t, nquestionably the gravest strhjeci of public consideration for the people of lb s State is the disposition of our ilcbt. There is enough of confusion and uncertainty in its condition to occupy the wisest fin-tneiers of the time. The refusal or neglect to pay interest, together with other issues raised, have already completely floored the credit of the State. Confidence bns gone ai>d the trump of resurrection will not re store it, if another session of the Legis lature pasHcs without some practical solution. IV e understand, from one who ought to Know, that tho bonds of this State of every class have been ??expelled the Stock Exchange, and that there is an understanding with the bankers, brokers and business men of the North not to accept them, nor, in fact, any security subject to public control as collateral for loans. Ou r bonds are quoted day after day at the same figure, and we take it their stand ing in the. murkut is merely nominal. The court has exhausted its authority id placing tho rights of the creditor under the sanction of the constitution iticlf. W? veature to say that no S^tnto in the Union has ever*before lifted the rights of tho oreditor to suoh a para mount bright, and up to this timo it has not had any appreciable effect on the Sonde nor contributed muoh to the restoration, of public confidence. The Legislature is se rightfully jealous of its authority over the whole subject of the finances, and the time is ?3 short before tho proposed special scasioo, that tho machinery to collect that tax could hardly be set in motion, even if it had not bo nomo so odiou* in the eyes of the people as fco' make Us collection without the spocial sanction of the Legislature nny thing but easy and agroeahlo task Pructioally, therefore, the deoislon has boen without ofloot, exoept as it may tend to woakon or assist the coutemplatcd action of the 3uprcnio power of tho State, rested in tho Legislature, upon the subject. A shadow has overwhelmed our orodit, and, anxious as the Republican party is to make some fuir and houorablo adjust | meet, the ooly hope in this emergency rests in the wisdom and authority of the Legislature? Union-Herald. Tlie Walerce Swum p. t <' r A BOLD PLAN roil STRAIGHTEN ING THE RIVER. One Hundred and Twenty Acres of Lnnd to be Iteelnlm cd at a Cowl of One Million Dollars. [CoBRSHrosnr.nck ur rnv. Nr.Ws k CouRlBR.] Leigh Hunt has touchiugly remarked, "I for my part must stiii oudcavor, till I die, to push the world a little further into the sunshine." Although my world is a very narrow one, I trust that a somewhat kindred motive prompted me to intrude my thoughts upon those of your readers most directly interested iu tbis matter, and whom 1 can better reach through your generally circulated journal than by any other means. I beg loavo to prcmiso that I am very conscious that there are many better able to prescut this subject in its true light thau I am, but as they have not doue so, upon my repeated invitation, I venture again, more at length, to bring it to view. 1 have repeatedly exptessod the opinion that tho UNRECLAIMED LAN"VB ON THE WATERKE, now comparately useless, would feed the State if brought into safe cultivation. If this proposition can be substantiated, suroly a State badly provisioucd will make great efforts to reclaim these lands. This is no new idea. Fifty years since Col. Adam Ulanding was most earnest in this matter, and just before the war intelligent and patrotic go?tlc men had devised and were prepared to execute a scheme to effectuate this great work. It may be well to observe that in the opinion of many of more eularged experience and observation than I can assume to have, there arc. in this State, NO LANDS COMPARABLE TO THOSE of the Watcrco for the production of corn, except, perhaps, those on the upper. Peadce. Indued, 1 have koowti person *of experience who have examined carefully tbe river lands and prairies of the mum Invert, who regarded tho Watcreo lands superior for corn pro duct. We have cotton lands iu abund ance all over our State, but our uplands are unsuited to oorn and the grasses. We have lauds suited to these products, but our Nile which enriches the land devours remorselessly its products. The product, per ncre, in corn on Watcroe lands equals that ol the Ohio Vnlley and the prairies of the great West, but fieaheto and want of drainage render the crops uncertain ia the extreme. There arc between the shoals at Camdon and the junction with tho Congaree one hundred and twenty thousand acres of swamp land, now of little value, with tho exception of a few plantations near I'amden, which are capable of produc ing, without manure, over FIFTY BUSHELS OF COHN PER AClfE, if well drained and cultivated, or surpassing in uativo grasses the blue grass of Kentucky. Now it is equally impossible to cu'tivate these lands, or to expose sheep to the inroads of the freshets. When labor was abundant and compulsory the lauds could, to a moderately certain extent, be protected by embankment, and wore valued at tifly dollars per acre : now the greater portion of them is deserted. A few, somewhat protected, even now aro valu ed at thirty dollars per acre, while thousand* of acres of the liehest lauds in the State could be bought at two dollars per aero, and some at one dollar per ncrc. Suppose the?c utilised and producing millions of bushels ol grain, thousands of horses, mules, cuttle, sheep and hogs, and reflect that many of these things aro now imported into the State at an expenco of traiiportation exceed I ing their prime cost Tho whole of these land-, would not now sell at an average ot ton dollars per aero. Indeed, I know places where, subdivided, the swamp lands, hitherto moat valuable, will not sell at all even at two to three dollars pet acre, whilo open uplands j adjoining sell readily for twenty five dollars per acre. The good uplands in this State near railroads are pretty well appreciated, and oan soon "begiu to | stand alone," although their inferiority : te bottom lands for grain is universally ! acknowledged. Lands which will pro duce fifty to sixty bushels of corn per aore, or a bale of cotton without man ure, are surely worth fifty dollars per acre, probably ono hundred dollars; but event rato them at fifty dollars, their present value docs not execod ton dollars por sere. I am infuruted upon good authority, from one who has oxamined into the subject from good data and thorough acquaintance with the whole swautp, that it will cost about om; million OK DOLLARS to straighten the rivor nod perfect tho tlateral d raius and dykes. If this be so, I and its verity oan easily be tested or disproved, this work would add four millions of dollars to the wealth of Kcrshuw, Richland and Sumtcr Coun ties, and of taxable property to the Stato. That this work will be done iu lime cannot bo doubted. It is impor tant that it bo done now while the lands are depressed iu value, and can only thus be enhancod, "und while they arc yet under the control of our own people. It is earnestly hoped that a joint stock company will be formed at once by thoso immediately concerned, and tho work kept with all its profits among ourselves. It is deemed certain that tho Legislature, io view of the immense addition of- taxable property to be created, will KXEMl'T THE LAND8 OF THE COMPANY FROM TAXATION for a period of ton years. Will not the large proprietors, whoso lands are a burden to thorn, earnestly join iu this work, which will require from them only a contribution in lauds, which will become a heavier burden still unless some effort is made to redeem them ? W. M. S. A Douiesfh' Piciurc. We clip from the Sumtcr W.atchm au this charming picture of country life and most truthful illustration of the pros perity of the colored people We do not care to publish tho pditioal sugges tions of the writer, because we think that in the houest aud earnest political influence of the colored people is the salvation of the State. The correspon dence of the. II'atrhman sayg: "Oa cither side of the clean but ir regular path, a Variety of plants and flowers shed their fragrance ou the sum mer air, an old fashioned sweet rose tree being the most conspicuous. Tho cy press climbed tho cottage window, arid its bright scarlet blossoms sccmo d to welcome the visitor. Through au open gateway wo b?w the neat little vegetable garden, with a grape arbor in the mid dle, and a good supply of those esculents which go far to make up the least of a farmer. A few raspberry bushes and t?n occasional fruit tree sliowct that the occupant kucw the valve of good fruit. "On entering tho cottage, wo were struck with the extreme neatness aud oleaulincss of every portion. The walls were nicely white washed and adorned with some cheap prints. A small cup board exhibited through its glass, dours a modest stock of crockery, bright and clean. A musket was suspended above the door, a water bucket stood on tho shelf, its brass hoops burnished like gold. The floor aud the deal table wore scrubbed with the utmost care. A few books were seen on a*shelf, aud gave a new charm to the room. Tho cottage was of the most humble kind. It was built of round limbs for scantling, aud clapboards instead of lumber. There were four small rooms, all apparently neat and orderly. * The farmor who lives there told us tint he and his two daughters f ho was a widower) cultivated his little farm of eight actcs and kept cvcrythiuK in order iu the house. His laud had been bought ? y his hard earnings as a farmer and gardncr in the neighboring town, and his cottsgc was built by his own hands. ' lie had his littlo wagon aud mule, but could not yet afford the luxury of a cow. ''lie seemed tho picture oT contcnt | mcnt, and we could not help comparing his life of hard an 1 honest labor, che r cd by the sweet but siniplo joys with which lu had surrounded himself, to the care worm and troubled existence which is the fate of many. "And now, gentle reader, you no doubt have located this cottage in some rural district of OU or New Kngland. Rut you arc mistaken. The year left blank above was 1S7?, the State South Carolina, the neighboring town ?Mir own Sumker and the precise locality of the model farm was, Jantet Hill.

Tho Loudou Spectator docs not be licvu that a restoration is possible iu ''ruiico without a long and bloody civil war. The hope ol the Royalists is that the Assembly will meet, and their party, by the coalescing of tho Orleans branch under the leadership of the Comto de Paris, and ibe Legitimists, undor the Comtc do Cbambord, will simply pro claim the latter King as Henry V. That decree once passtMl, no resistance is, as they fancy, possible; for Marshal McMuhnn has promised to obey any decree of the Assembly; the civil authori ties have all been secured by sweeping changes, and still more sweeping threats and the peasantry themselves will be cither charmed with the restoration or bo merely puseivo. Tho King, restored to his throne, will grant whatever liber ties he pleases; the nobles will be grati fied with a Second Chamber; the priests with the control of education; and the ancient happiness of France will bo res tored with her ancient monarchy. To this consummation the interview at Grobsdorf paved tho way. The unity iu the Assembly is said to be strong enough for this, purpose; but tbeic is McMabon and tho army, which has no traditions aonnoctcd with the Rourbons. If tb??y think that the Republicans will easily submit, the Legitimists deceive themselves. There is M. Thiers, still tho second power in France, who iu a recent speech said that a liberal mon archy, his early dream, was no longer possible and that henceforth be consec rated his life to tho consolidation of the Republic; there again arc the people, to whom nil the traditions of the Comte dc Cbambord are antagonistic, and who will not be ruled in tho uinetconth cen tury by the ideas of the fifteenth.

It was put in type, and as the paper was about to go to press, n nervous, sharp featured, bright eyed woman of fifty uppcared on the scene, bringing a writing from her hm-baud to the following purport; Augusta, August 15.
