A conductor on the Chicago and Alton Railroad is reported as having forbidden honeymoon "billing and coo ing." ObsOTving a bridegroom's arm Out of place, he forbade further demon strations.

Tub SricTAL Session.?Those who jrrpfess to be informed say that the special session of the Legislature, which convenes on the 21st October, has been i called to consider the recent decision of tho. Supreme Court in the Morton A Bliss bond case. A bill is to be pro seated, and it is eipecled that it will pass, taking away from the comptroller the power to levy a tax to pay the inter est on the bond. Should the Governor veto the bill, it is asserted that thcro 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 tho enrolling committee totho Governor. ?iVctrs & Vruricr. A Detroit paper relates the following story in connection with the dog tax in that city : "A boy about icn years of age, leading a lively little dog, cnilud 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 my 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 the boy stroked him saying, *Poor Dan ; how Billy will cry whon I tell him you are dead !' Groat big tears rolled down tho boy's fuco and is a little time those around him made a puree sufficient to save his dog, and a ffrson went with him after the license. The boy's eyes fairly spark'ed at his unexpected luck, and, speaking to the dog, ha cried, 'Hut you're saved, let's go light home to Billy !" Tho N"ew York ITorald's money article of Sunday, under the head of Southern Securities says: "The dealings in this * market were so limited as scarcely tt deserve commen*. An effort is again beiug made to foist some of tho worth less issue* of South Carolina o-nthe mar ket, and to again soducc the pnblio into buying bonds which sooner or later must undergo material chango for the worse. These efforts are stimulated by a recent decision of the Supreme Court of that State, which unfortunately, as vre are informed, cannot be reviewed by the Supreme Court of the Unitod States. The people of South Carolina will un questionably pay with eheeriulnoss what if legitimately due op their public debt, but the temper ef tho State, if we may judge from th* tone of its press and tho statcrasnts of it* leading citizens, is fiercely antagonistic to any swindle, even though it be perpetrated by a legislature and enforoed by a count." TnE Lath Duel Betwbe? MM. ItAVa asd Cabbagnao.-?The Pari? Gaulois gives the following details of the recent encounter botwoon MM. Bano and de Cassagnao, tho foutusr recently .elected to thp French Assembly by the. Radicals, and the latter being editor of a bitterly hostile Paris journal. The duel wee fought on the 7th instant on Luxembourg tcritory. Tbc (jaulois says: la thv? first assault, aftor a i'ciut, M. de Cassagnac reoeived a wound which, beginning above his glove, rau up the foroatna nearly to the elbow. Four times, without interval or respite, did their weapons meet, and each time thero was a succession of thrusts, parries aud feints, performed with almost naugicul celerity. Twice the adversaries come into bodily contact, and then it wns that M. do ('as ??-?ao took an opportunity of pouring off the blood which tilled hit* shirt slscve. The duol lasted fourteen minutes, and the soconda proposed a suspension which M. de Caiwugnae refused, as he f?a?*ed that his fore arm might become woakun bj the loss of blood. In tho firth bout M. de Oasvngnac made a rapid move ment, antrM. Rano, jumpi ng aside, re ceived a-cut on the upper- part of the arm. A strsnro of blood began to flow and the arm foil powerless. Mia adver sary's wenpou had pencruted deeply. Further combat was iup ?s-.iblo, as the. .seconds agreed. Without uttering a word tho two ad\ersarios saluted oioo other and withdrew with their f-iouds.

Let us have new streets, a town Mar ket, a pohlic weigher, and several other necessities and wc shall gladly shake ! hands with Ocaugoburg'ji Tora Council rlect. A ?raTC Question. Unquestionably tho gravest sernjeel of public consideration lor the people of lira Slate is the disposition of uur debt. There is enough of confusion and uncertainty in its condition to occupy the wisest finnieiers of the time. The refusal or neglect to pay interest, together with other issues raised, have already completely floored the credit of tho State. Confidence has gone ami the trump of resurrection will not re store it, if another session of the Legis lature passes without seme practical solution. We understand, from one who ought to Lnow, that tho bonds of this State oT every class have been "-expelled the Stock Kxehangc, and that there is an understanding with the bankers, brokers ami business men of the North not to accept them, nor, in ! fact, any security subject to public control as collateral lor loans Our bonds are quoted day after day at tho same figure, and we take it their stand ing in the. marRufc is merely nominal. The court has exhausted its authority in placing the rights of the creditor under the sanctJon of the constitution itself. M't venture to say that no S*tatc in the Union has ever'boforo lifted the rights of the creditor to suoh a para mount bright, and up to this time it has not had any appreciable effect on the bondo nor contributed muoh to the restoration of public confidence. The Legislature is ss rightfully jealous of its authority over the whole subject ef the finances, and the time is ?3 short before tho proposed special session, that tho mackinory to collect that tax could hardly be ?et in motion, even if it had not be oomo so odious in the eyes of the people as to- inulte iis collect ion without the special sanction of tho Legislature any thing but easy and agrecablo task Practioally, therefore, the deoision hus been without effect, except ai it may tend to weaken or assist the contemplated actiou of tho supremo powor of tho State, rested io tho Legislature, upon the subject. A shadow has overwhelmed our oredit, and, anxious as the Republican party is to make some fuir and houorablo adjust ment, the only hope in t his emergency rests in the wisdom and authority of the Legislature.? Union-Herald* The Waterce Swamp. C*Y9J ~ A BOLD PLAN FOR S TRAIG II VEX IN U TUE KI VEIL One Hundred and Twenty Acres of Lnnd lo be Kcclnim eel at a Coat of One Million Dollars* [ConnssroNnr.xcKor tiik. NkWs k Couaiaa.] Leigh Hunt has touchingly remarked, "I for my part mnst ft ill endeavor, till I die, to push the world u little further into the suushiue." Although my world is a very narrow one, 1 trust that a iomowhat kindred motivo prompted mo to intrude my thoughts upon those of your readers most directly interested iu this matter, and whom 1 can better reach through your generally circulated journal than by any other means. I beg lcavo to premiso that l am very conscious that thcro are many better able to present this subject in its true light thau 1 am, but ad tbwy have not done so, upon my repeated invitation, I venture again, more at length, to bring it to view. 1 have repeatedly cxptesscd the opinion that the 15N RECLAIM ED LANDS ON TIIK WATER EE, now enmparately u?eless, would feed the State if brought into safe cultivation. If this proposition can be substantiated, suroly a State badly provisioned will make great efforts to reclaim these lauds. This is no new idea. J'ifty year.s since Col. Adam Blanding was most earnest in this matter, and just boforc the war intelligent and patrotic gent le rnen had devised and were prepared to execute a scheme to effectuate this great work. It may be well to observe thai in the opinion of many of more enlarged experience and observation than I can assume to have, there arc. in this State, NO LANDS COMPARABLE TO TfJUSB of the Watcrcc for the production of corn, except, perhaps, those on the uppor Pcedce. Indued, 1 hare known person "of experience who have aaniincd carefully the river lauds and pr.iries of the Fouthwest, who regarded the Watereo lands superior for corn pro duct. We have cotton lands iu abund ance all over our State, but our uplands are unsuited to ooru and tho grasses. We have lauds .suited to these products, but our Nile which enriches the land devours rctnorsclcs-sly its products. The product, per acre, in corn on Wateree lands equals that oi the Ohio Valley and the prairie* of the great Wcat, but freshets and want of drainage render the crops uncertain ta the extreme. There arc between the shoals at Camden and the junction with tho Congarec one hundred aud twenty thousand acres of BWamp land, uuw of little value, with the exception of a few plantations near Camden, which are capable of produc ing, without manure, over fIFTY BUSHELS OF COHN DER AClfE, if well drained and cultivated, or I surpassing in native 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 abuudaul and compulsory the lauds could, to n moderately certain extent, be protected by embankment, and were valued at fifty dollars per acre : now the greater portion of them is deserted. A few, somewhat protected, even now are vain ed at thirty dollars per acre, while thousand* of acres ol I he richest lands in the State could be bought at two dollars per acre, and some at one dollar per ucrc. Suppose these utilized and producing millions ol bushels ol grain, thousands of horses, mules, cuttle, sheep and bogs, and reflect that many of these things aio now importe'd into the State at an cxpenpc of tranportation exceed ing their prime cost Tho whole of these lauds would not now sell at an average ol ten. dollars per aero. Indued. I know places where, subdivided, the swamp lands, hitherto nioul valuable, will not sell at all even at two to three dollar* psi acre, whilo open uplands adjoining sell readily for twenty live dollnrs per acre. The good uplands in this State near railroads are pretty well appreciated, and can soon "begin to stand alone," although their inferiority te bottom lands for grata is universally acknowledged. Lands which will pro duce fifty to sixty bushels of corn per aore, or a bale of cotton without man ure, sre surely worth fifty dollars per acre, piobably ono hundred dollars ; but even rate them at fifty dollars, their present value docs not exceed ten dollars per acre. I am informed upon good authority, from one who hns examined into the subject from good data aud thorough acquaintance with the whole swamp, that it will cost about UN K MILLION OK HOLLAHS to straighten tho river and perfect tho lateral draius and dykes. If thin be so, und its verity can easily be tested or disproved, this work would add four millions of dollars to the wealth of Kershaw, Ilichland and Sumtcr Coun tics, and of taxable property to the State. That this work will be done in time cannot be doubted. It is impor tant that it bo done now while the lands aro depressed in value, and can only thus be enhancod, ?and while they arc yet under the control of our own people. It is earnestly hoped that a joint stock company will be formed at onco by those immediately concerned, and tho work kept with all its profits among ourselves. It is deemed certain that the Legislature, in view of the immense addition of* taxable property to be created, will KXE.tll'T THE LAND? OF Til IS COM PAN V FROM TAXATION for a period of ton years. Will not the "large proprietors, whoso lands are a burden to them, earnostly join in this work, which will require from them only a contribution in lands, which will becomo a heavier burden still unless sonic effort is made to redeem them ? W. M.S. * A DoutCHfh'IMciiire. I Wc clip from the Sumtcr Walrhni mi this charming picture of countrylife and most truthful illustration of the pros perity of the colored pc.nle. We do not care to publish the political sugges tions of tho writer, because wc think that in the honest and earnest political influence of the colored people is the salvation of the State. The eorrospoti dence of the. Watt hman says: ''On cither side of the dean but ir regular path, a variety of plants and flowers shed thuir fragrance on the sum mer air, an old fashioned sweet rose tree being the most conspicuous. Tho cy press climbed tho cottage window, and its bright scarlet blossoms seeuie d to welcome the visitor. Through an open gateway wo bsw the ueat little vegetable garden, w ith a grape arbor in the mid dle, and a good supply of those eiculents which go far to make up the least of u farmer. A few raspberry bushes and i?n occasional fruit tree stiowc.I that the occupant kucw the valve of good fruit. "On entering tho cottage, wo were struck with the extreme uoatness and cleanliness of every portion. The walls were nicely white washed and adorned with sonic cheap priuts. A small cup board exhibited through its glass, doors a modest stock of crockery, bright and clean. A musket was suspended above the door, a water bucket stood on the shelf, its brass hoops burnished like gold. The floor and the deal table wore scrubbed with the utmost care. A few books were seen on a?shelf, and gave a new charm to the room. The cottage was of the most humble kind. It was built of round limb* lor scantling, and clapboards instead of lumber. There were four small rooms, all apparently neat and orderly. 1 The farmer who lives thero told us that he and his two daughters (he was a widower) cultivated his little farm of eight acios and kept everything in order in the house. His laud had been bought * y his hard earnings as a farmer and gardncr in the neighboring town, and his cottage was built by his own hands. ? lie had bis little wagon and mule, but could not yet afford the luxury of a cow. 'Tie seemed tbe picture of Content ment, and we could not helpcomp tring his life of hard and honest labor, ch? r cd by tho sweet but simple joys with which Uj had summit led himself, to the core worm and troubled existence which is the fate of many. '?Ami now. gentle leader, you no doubt have located this cottage in some rural district of Old or New Kngland. Hut you arc mistaken. The year left blank above was l>7il, the State South Carolina, the neighboring town our own Sunttcr and the precise* locality of the model farm was, ,/ainc* Hill. "The farmer was not the sturdy Kn glish nor wiry New Kughtml peasant, but a swarthy Southern freed man who had once been a sieve." Sure Wouldn't Skll,?A man stop ped a Tennessee woman, who was driv ing her family through tho streets, en route West, and tried to buy her "rig," gelling this reply : "Stranger, yer'er a wastin' ov yer broth, talkin' to mo 'bout Sellin' that, creeter. lie's too nobil a aniuiil, and he coni':> down fron ancestors datin' back to ther time what I can't remem ber.

So, stranger, yer mout as wsll elose up yer fly-trap." Will Franco Accept a Ii in?. The London Spectator dues bot be lieve that a restoration is possible iu France 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 the Orleans branch under the leadership of tho (Jointe de Paris, and the Legitimists, under the Cointc de Chambord, will simply pro elaim the latter King as Henry V. That decree once passed, no resistance is, as they fancy, possible; for Marshal McMahon has promised to obey any deciec 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 either charmed with the restoration or bo merely passive. The Kin^, restored to his throne, will grant whatever liber tics he pleases; the nobles will be grati fied with a Second Chamber; the priests with tho 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 there is McMahon and the army, which has no traditions connected with the BoUrbous . l! they think that the Republicans will easily submit, the Legitimists deceive themselves. There is M. Thiers, still the second power iu Franco, who iu a I recent speech said that a liberal mon archy, his early dream, was no longer possible and that henceforth he couscc rated his life to the consolidation of the Republic; there again are the people, to whom all the traditions of the Cotnte de Chambord are antagonistic, and who will not be ruled in tho nineteenth cen tury by the ideas of the fifteenth. lSolIicrcd* An interesting instance of fluctuating connubial felicity has recently been for ced upon our attention On Tuesday morning, a man with wrathful features came into the office, and laconically ordered the insertion in ths Journal of a ''To Whom It May Concern," forbid ding all persons from harboring or trust ing his wife. etc. He paid tho bill ns if it was a pleasure to him, and left.

He did output in an ap. pesranee the next day, but the day fol lowing he walked in. and, with an air of desperation; ordered for the third timo the momentous advertisement to be published.
