THE SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE Tuesday, May 14, 1877. In the Senate, the proceedings were d void of general interest. In the House, the committee on coun officers and offices reported favorably on bill to provide for the filling of vacancies i nffinua onH tn rppnlate the holding VV/UUVJ VIUVVV -- - -o w elections for the same. A message from the Governor, transmittir a letter from the superintendent of the Sta Normal School, was received. The Govemc in his message, took occasion to call attentic to the condition of the State University, st ting that the State was clearly responsible f the payment of the past due salaries of tl professors of the same, and recoramendii that provision be made to meet them ; also r commending that an appropriation be ma< to pay the salary due to Chief Justice Mos at the time of his death. The letter from tl superintendent of the State Normal Schoc after setting forth the condition of the schoc stated that $1,100 are now due the institutio and asking for its payment. The messaj and accompanying documents were referrc to the committee of ways and means. The supply bill and the appropriation bi were under discussion, but no definite actic resulted. The bill to make appropriations for tl payment of the salary and mileage of mer bers of the General Assembly and officers the same and incidental expenses, passed second reading with unimportant amen ments. The following passed a third reading : B to regulate the levy and appropriation of ta es : to prevent clerks of Probate Courts fro practicing as attorneys. The following Se ate hills passed, and were ordered to be e rolled as acts: To reduce the pay of coi missioners and managers of elections at other clerks; to repeal the act for the relief the widows and orphans of persons killed f political opinions ; to repeal the act to prote the interest of the State in guaranteed ra road bonds. The report of the Wright investigating coi mittee was taken up, hut, pending a motif by Myers to raise the injunction of secrecy ai print the evidence, the House adjourned. Tuesday, May 15. The Senate was in session to-day f< about only an hour. The bill to authorize tl Governor to lease out convicts was reportf on favorably. The bill to amend the chart of the State University was postponed nextsessiou. The bill to amend the inilit law was reported on favorably. At 1 o'clock the Senate repaired to tl House of Representatives for the election a Chief Justice, and upon returning adjour ed at once. In the House, the committee or. incorp rations reported favorably on a bill to arnei the charter of the town of Yorkville. The committee on education, who were i quested to report on the condition of the Sta Orphau Asylum, reported that they had vi ited the same and found seventeen office aud attendants, with seventeen girls and thi ty-seven hoys to take care of, and recorame ded an appropriation of $212 a month for tl support of the same. Referred to the coi mittee on ways and means. The consideration of the appropriation b was resumed and continued until 1 o'cloc when the Senate appeared and took the sea assigned them, Lieutenant-Governor Simpsi /*1' 1.1 taking the chair, t he Uliair anuounceo in the two houses had met in joint assembly elect a Chief Justice of the Supreme Coui 1^^^- ' iu obedience to a concurrent resolution passi by the General Assembly. The resoluth was then read, and the Chair announced th five minutes would be allowed for nomiu tions. Sammy Green (Rep.) asked whether t election was for the long or the short teri The Chair stated that members mustconstr the resolution for themselves, and the resol tion was again read for their benefit. Nominations being in order, Mr. Orr rc and said: "Mr. President, I rise to nomina Judge A. J. Willard for the position of Chi Justice of the Supreme Court of this Stai Judge Willard has, for a long time, filled t position of Associate Justice of the Supret Court with honor to the State and with di nity. I am satisfied that if he should be pi moted to the position of Chief Justice, he w - - - T .*11 still bold the balaDce ot Justice impartial! aud continue to be the honor to South Car lina that he has been in the past." W. J. Andrews, (Rep.) of the Senate, noi inated the Hou. \V. D. Porter, of Charlesto Myers (Rep.) seconded the nomination Judge Willard, and in doing so he said gave hira great satisfaction to be able to d monstrate to the country that they were d termined to recognize worth, irrespective party or section. On the motion of Hamilton (Rep.) the noi | inations were closed. The roll of the Sena [ was first called, and the vote stood 15 f ' Willard and 15 for McGowan, Senator Ga ? alone of the Democrats voting fqr McGo an ; the Republicans all voted for McGowa 11 " - TT ? 11 _ J I The roll or me nouse was caneu, aim i vote stood Willard 86, McGowan 39, Port 2, Kershaw 2, aud Wallace 1; total vo cast, 130; necessary to a choice, 65. T chair annouuced that Hon. A. J. Willar having received a majority of the votes ca was du'y elected Chief Justice to fill the v caucy caused by the death of Chief Justi Moses. The Democrats in the House, with the e ception of Mr. Bryan, al! voted for Willan the Republicans centered on McGowa There was not the slightest enthusiasm, ai the whole matter was over in fifteen minut after the election. The House immediate adjourned. Wednesday, May 16. In the Senate, the bill to declare ai r punish fraud in the sale of produce, passed second reading. In the House, a concurrent resolution elect an associate justice of the Stiprer Court, on Friday, 18th instant, was adopte f A resolution that the General Assembly a journ sine die on the 24th instant, was offered ? and laid oyer. The return to the writ issued for a new election in Fairfield county, to fill the vacancies occasioned by the resignation of Gibson and Bird, was read to the House, showing that the electiou was held on Monday, and ri had resulted in the election of Messrs. Henry A. Gaillard and Thomas S. Brice, (Dems.) by a majority of 1,868. These gentlemen being in the hall, were sworn in and assigned to seats. The committee on county officers and offices reported favorably on the Senate bill to regulate the appointment of county officers. 10 The remainder of the session was consumed in considering the appropriation bill. lie le Thursday, May 17. of In the Senate, at the opening, the president announced messages from the House, which proved to be eight several messages, informing the Senate that eight several Senee ate bills, sent to the House, had been rejected by that body, as I The bill to amend the charter of Gaffney ?? ' f tt r\n ono/1 o f ki rrl r>aa Ul VHJ |/aoocu a uiiuu ivhuiu^. After disposing of some routine business, )f. the Senate went into joint assembly for the ^ purpose of electing Trustees of the University of South Carolina, and adjourned immediateee ly on returning. In the House, the committee on Ways ly and Means reported favorably on a bill to re;d organize the militia. The same committee, on t], the Governor's message relating to an appropriation for the salaries of professors of the University, reported that they recommended that no appropriation be made at this session. ?* The bill to reduce and fix the salaries of certain public officers, was continued to the or next session. d- The committee on railroads reported favorty ably on the bill to incorporate the Spartan" burg and Rutherford Railroad. The consideration of the clause in the appropriation bill, providing for the payment of the interest on the consolidated debt of the State, was then resumed, Mr. Hood having the le- floor, in favor of the payment. After?n exhaustive argument upon the condition of the ty State finances, Mr. Hood made an earnest a appeal to the House to pass the section, tain king as his keynote the fact that seven mills of was only half of his last year's tax, and that the people could much better afford to pay )g this debt this year than pay $700,000 in ad te dition to the regular tax next year. >r, Mr. Bradley introduced a resolution that at )0 2.30 P. M., or earlier, the House come to a a- vote on this subject; and that speeches be or limited to fifteen minutes. A motion to table oe this resolution was lost, and Mr. Simpson ig moved to amend the resolution so that, ine stead of the vote being taken at 2.30, it le should be taken at 10 P. M. This was agreed es to, there being an honorable understanding ie on the part of the House that, if the House >1, adjourned tonight before 10 o'clock, it >1, should not deprive members of their right to n, speak, and the order of the House would fall. %e Mr. R. R. Hemphill then took the floor in }d opposition to paying the debt, holding that the debt was not a contract, because of its ill fraudulent nature. The cousolidated bonds >n had been given a value of fifty cents on the dollar, when originally they had no value at ie all. The other side talked about the honor of n- South Carolina, while there was still before of them the mournful spectacle, .n which he had a taken part two days ago, viz.: the election d- of a carpet-bagger. He was in ta:or of supporting the A .iinistration, and quoted from ill the Governor's message recommending a tnorx ough investigation of the debt, m Mr. Simpson asked if he had read the pron viso in the section. n- Mr. Hemphill said he would come to that 11- in time; but was satisfied that the Cxovernor s id meaning was to investigate first, and then of provide for the payment. He went on to or show that the committee had exhibited a lack ot of intelligence in providing 8300,000, which il- was too much to pay the interest. Mr. Hood here explained that $260,000 n- was necessary to meet the interest on the in bonds already funded, and the additional id 840,000 was appropriated to meet the additional debt that would probably be funded in the meantime. Mr. Hemphill then took the position that jr 8300,000 would not be enough to meet the ie interest on the debt, and he was in favor of ;(1 finding out how much the real valid debt was, er before they blindly appropriated an amount to which might be either too much or too little, ia A notice having been received from the Senate that that body had concurred in the tje resolution to elect an Associate Justice toof morrow, Mr. Simpson moved that there be no n- meeting of the House to-night, his object beinw to allow an nnnnrfnnit.v for caucusing Oil io- that matter. This was agreed to. id Mr. W. C. Brown, of Anderson, then took the floor in opposition to paying the interest e- on the consolidated debt, arguing that the te debt should be investigated before the approis priation was made. ra At this point the Senate arrived at the bar ir- of the House for the purpose of going iuto a n- joint ballot for the election of seven trustees lie of the University of South Carolina, appoint11. ed to take place at 1 P. M. to-day. Lieutenant-Governor Simpsou took the ill chair and announced the object of the joint k, assembly. A number of nominations were Lts made, and after a ballot, the following perjn sons were declared elected : Rev. E. J. Mevat nardie, R. \V. Boyd, Hon. B. F. Perry, Col. to F. W. Mr-Master, Col. C. H. Simontou, Maj. rt, J- D. Blanding, Col. James H. Rion. ed on Friday, May 18. at In the Senate, immediately after the ora" ganization, Hon. W. A. Walker, of Chester, appeared, and after the election returns had be been read, was duly sworn in as Senator from 111 that county, vice Dublin Walker, and was asue signed a seat. u" The Seuate then went into the joint assembly, and on their return the bill to prohibit ,se j the absence of certain officers was taken up. ;te j This bill provides that no officers of the State, ief | the legislators excentcd. shall be absent from I .~ ~ 1 , ' -----te their respective counties for more than thirty he days, without permission of the Governor, ue i under forfeiture of one year's salary. This is ! Cochran's bill, and there was a tilt between '?" 1 him and Taft, who moved to strike out the j euacting clause. Taft said he had gone out y> i of the State while he was a county officer, and ?' 1 didn't care to impose such a restriction on j others. Cochran said that because the gen33*' tleman from Massachusetts had gone off to n* his home and neglected his duty, was no reason of why the practice should be indiscriminately t allowed. Taft did not know where the geu'e* tleman from Massachusetts was; if he (Taft) 'e- was meant, Cochran was at fault, as usual. ?f He (Taft) had been in this State ever since he ; was fourteen years old. Cochran : "So much n* the worse for the State." Taft: "It may te have been worse for the State, but I have or never had to rise in this body to defend a ry connection with the corrupt government of w" j this State." The bill passed a second reading; n- also the bill to fix and reduce the price of he 1 dieting prisouers. A resolution by Corwin, er that when the Senate adjourns to-day, it stand lte adjourned until Monday at 7 P. M., was adopted. Ayes, 24 ; nays, 4. The bill to provide stationery and fuel passed a second readiug. It allows the members a" of both houses five dollars each for stationery ce and postage per session, and one huudred dollars for the Senate aud one hundred aud fifty x" for the House for stationery, per session, for ^ I the use of committees. n- In the House, the bill to reduce and fix 1(1 the salary of certain officers, which had been e9 continued to the next session, was reconsider'y ed and placed on the calendar. The consideration of the clause in the appropriation hill, providing for the paymeut of id the interest on the consolidated debt of the a State, was resumed. Miller, (colored Rep.) of Beaufort, spoke to in favor of the section as it stood, taking the ne ground that it was the wish of the adtninisd. tration that the section should pass, and that ,d- it was of vital consequence to the State that the tax should be distributed over two years, I instead of paying five mills this year and twelve mills next year. i Mr. Connor, of Abbeville, made a strong speech in favor of paying the debt, only after its investigation by the commission. He was ; in favor of incorporating in the bill a section i which would pledge the State to the payment | of the debt after its examination, in order that the public credit might be saved from I injury from a misunderstanding on the part ! of the public creditors. Wells, of Richland, (colored Republican) ' spoke in favor of the payment of the debt, j and went so far as to state that the whole debt was valid. At this stage the Senate appeared at the bar of the House. Lieutenant-Governor Simpson took the chair and announced that the joint assembly had been called for the j purpose of electing an Associate Justice of ; the Supreme Court of South Carolina. Mr. Coit, of Chesterfield, nominated Capt. j Heury Mclver, pressing his claims in an earni est speech, bringing out his spotless record ! and fine abilities in bold relief. Keith, of Darlington, (colored Republican, as a representative of the Peedee section) rose to second the nomination, and, in so doing said that it afforded him great pleasure, as a representative of the colored race and of the Republican party, to show that, where a good, honest and able man was presented, the Republicans were willing to support him. Gen. Gary rose, also, to second the nomination of Col. Mclver, but was informed that he was out of order, as only one second was permitted. General Gary asked and obtained unanimous consent to continue, and said no fact had afforded him more pleasure than that the candidate presented by the Democratic party, should have been seconded by the opposite side. It was becoming that it should be so ; because he who held the scales of justice should hold alike for blacks and whites, for Democrats and Republicans; he should go to his position as the choice of the white people and as the choice of both parties. It seemed then that they were fortunate in presenting che name of Henry Mclver, a native South Carolinian, an accomplished jurist and a Christian gentleman, who would give satisfaction alike to both political parties. He would stand conspicuously as the representative of the intelligence of South Carolina in contrast with the Chief Justice, and we can ask the people to look upon this picture and then upon that. [Applause from the Republicans.] Thos. Hamilton (Republican) under the pretence of making another nomination, also succeeded in seconding the nomination of Mclver. The nomination then closed and the vote was taken, resulting in a ballot which is unprecedented in the post-bellum annals of the Suite. The total vote cast was 129, Mclver receiving the unanimous vote as well as the unanimous nomination of the joint assembly. After the President had announced the unanimous electiou of Mclver, the Senate retired, and the consideration of the fifth section of the appropriation bill was resumed. Mr. Youmans, of Barnwell, made a vigorous speech against paying the interest. \f r- Qkom m Mtrorl tr\ omonH frrnv's amend iU., VIIWW J ~ meat to appropriate 8100,000 to meet deficiences, &c., by inserting 8300,000. to be held subject to the direction of the General Assembly. The manifest object of this motion was to strike a compromise and avoid placing the power to decide the validity of the bonds in the hands of the commission. Mr. Collison, of Edgefield, spoke in opposition to the passage of the section, aud Mr. Orr closed the debate in an eloquent speech in favor of the passage of the section. A resolution having been passed to come to a vote on the vexed question at 2.30 p. m., at that hour all debate was closed, and amid intense excitement, Minort, colored, moved to lay Gray's amendment and Shaw's amendment t<> the amendment on the table. The vote was taken, and the amendments were both tabled by a vote of 74 to 25. Mr. Simpson then moved that 8300.000 be stricken out of the fifth section and 827,0,000 inserted instead ; that sum being the exact amount necessary to meet the interest on the present consolidated debt during the present fiscal year. This amendment was adopted. Mr. Connor moved to amend the section so that, instead of the conimission being empowered to determine for itself the validity of the debt, no part of the appropriation should be paid until the commission shall have reported to the General Assembly and until the General Assembly shall have determined the same to be valid and bona fide. The chair ruled this amendment out of order, in view of the fact that the vote on the main question was pressed. Section five was then passed without further amendment. On motion of Mr. Sheppard, an additional section was added between Sections 5 and 6 of the appropriation bill, appropriating 81,000 for the purchase of the sixth and seventh volumes of the new series of Supreme Court Reports, and $2,300 for the furnishing of stationery for the executive and legislative departments. A niuth section was then added appropriating 84,000 to pay the balance of the per diem and mileage compensation due members of the last General Assembly for the session of 1875-7G. The vote was then taken on passing the bill and ordering it to be engrossed for a third reading, and the bill passed by :i vote of 79 to 18. The House then took recess to 8 P. M. The House resumed its session at 8 P. M. The supply bill was taken up and passed its second reading, after two hours' discussion, with sundry amendments, the most important of which are the following: In section 1 the tax is raised from 7 to 71 mills. This increase was in consequence of the fact that the attorney-general has given an opinion that the $40,000 in the treasury, which the committee had counted in their estimate, could not be used. The sundry amendments to the appropriation bill, together with the abovementioned fact, would leave a deficiency of S22.000, and \ of a mill will just raise about 825,000. In Section 2, which provides 3 mills for county purposes, exceptions in several counties were made for special taxes already authorized by special acts. In Section 4, which forbids the collection of any other tax than is laid down in this section, an amendment was inserted excepting taxes to meet the interest on bonds issued by the counties in aid of railroads. In Section 11 the cost for advertising delinquent real estate was cut down to one dollar from its present rate of two dollars. Notices were given of amendment on the third reading, and the bill then passed by a vote of 82 to 9. Saturday, May 19. In the House, Mr. Massey presented an extract from the presentment of the grand V-rv-U rolotinr* fn tKo fdr\ f?Ck 1 Q U7 jury Ul 1 ui tv LUU11LJ, itnuui^ U\y vuv I\/UV/V <? The committee on ways and tneans reported unfavorably on h joint resolution to authorize the State treasurer to pay 820 to each stuj dent of the South Caroliua University, who resides out of Richland county, to enable ! them to return home. The joint resolution I was then rejected. A resolution was adopted instructing the ! committee on the judiciary to prepare a genI eral bill in relation to workingof public roads. I The consideration of the report of the speI cial committee as to the conduct of Judge j Wright, was postponed till next session. The following were read a second time : i Senate bill to provide for the filling of vacancies in county offices ; Seuate bill to amend ; the charter of the town of Yorkville; and bill to reduce the pay of county commission; ers and their clerks. A joint resolution to appoint a commission j to codify the acts was postponed till next ses' sion. Effects entirely disproportional to causes, are frequently induced by the simplest cirj cumstances.

We are often asked if it is too late to sow. We answer, from experience, it is not too j late until the 15th of July. After that time, we ] would not advise any one to sow it. By doing t this you can get two crops from the land every ] year, provided you sow in time and have the ? season. It is not muoh of an outlay of money to c get the seed. It is for your good and your bene- x ' fit, gentlemen. It does not matter to us what a x man's horse feed costs him. We have the seed at ( $2 per bushel. W. H. J. P. HERN DON.
