reconsideration. Taft then moved to adjourn, which was not agreed to. Witherspoon (Dera.) moved to strike out section 5 entirely as amended. This motion looked very much like locking matters, and Taft moved to make the further consideration of the bill the special order for 8 P. M. This was agreed to ]by a vote of 15 to 12. The bill to utilize convict labor passed a Second reading. This bill provides that the M^^Governor shall appoint a board of three diHKktors, and shall hiraBelfbe ex-officio a memI Br, who shall have general supervision of penitentiary, its inmates, property, &c. ^^*That ths board, as soon as practicable, advertise for proposals for completing the penitentiary, including tbe labor of the convicts; - such contract, if entered into, to be ratified by the next General Assembly. That the convicts may be hired out to contractors within the State for any kind of work except agricultural labor. The contractors are required to enter into bond to the amount of $50,000 for the faithful performance of the contract and for the humane treatment of the convicts. The lien bill passed a third reading. The finance committee reported favorably on the supply bill aud tbe bill to make an appropria ? v M _ j* tion to pay the salary ana mileage 01 members of the General Assembly, &c., with amendments. The amendments to the House bill are not important, the tax levy remaining at 7} mills. The amendments to the second bill increase the pay of members for last and this session from $600 to $800. Both bills were laid over for consideration. At the evening session the consideration of the appropriation bill was resumed. The vote whereby Taft's amendment to appropriate $75,000 for deBciencies in place of the 5th section having been reconsidered, Nash moved to make this amount $50,000. Bowen opposed the amendment, and thought it dangerous to open the question of deficiencies. The State conldn tpay all such claims, and should not pay a part. Gary favored the amendment Ho thought this was fair and square. The payment of this amount would not increase the bill one dollar, as they had taken that amount from the'appropriation for schools. Jeter thought this was a bad move. It was unfair to discriminate in favor of one class of deficiencies. He thought the Senate was taking a dan? 1a cfrfbp r?nf. fhp gtjruu.-i aiejj n ucn iudji ovugt.v fifth section. He was in favor of paying the interest on the public consolidated debt^ The State was bound by the consolidated debt and was compelled to pay the debt. He considered that the State was bound by the acts of its legally authorized agents, whose actions were afterwards confirmed by the consolidation acts, and saw no reason forgoing behind this act. In order to sustain the credit of the State, he was in favor of authorizing the Governor to effect a loan at once, and then levy the $270,000 tax to meet this loan. If this was not done, what iucentive would the bondholders have to bring in their bonds ? Swails was not only in favor of levying a tax to pay the interest on the public debt, but also to pay deficiencies. They were both debts, which the State was bound to meet, not at some convenient time in the future, but now. A new broom should sweep clean, and the democratic party should beware that they did not make a fatal step in their new departure. Crittenden was in favor of paying every cent of the public debt after it was investigated, but he proposed to do this by a joint resolution to authorize the Governor to effect a loan, and not by levying a tax this j'ear. He was willing to vote a tax to pay past due salaries, as a debt which stood on higher ground. /rhe vote was then taken on Nash's amendment to appropriate $50,000 to pay deficiencies on salaries, in lieu of $270,000 to pay interest on the public debt, which was adopted. <' % Cannon moved to add the following as Section 11: "That any balances by specific levies heretofore made and not needed for the same shall be subject to the draft of the comptroller-general, by the approval of the Governor, to be used in the payment of deficiencies in appropriations." Adopted. 'HI? L ' 11 AI ??-I .aarlinrr f h Q 1 ue 1)111 Hieu ptt33CU IU a tllii u loauiug, whole Senate giviug notice of amendment on that reading. In the House, the proceedings were mainly devoted to the discussion of reports of the majority and miuority of the committee on the Charleston election. The final result was the adoption of the majority report and the exclusion of the entire Charleston delegation ou the grounds of fraud and intimidation. Wednesday, May 30. In the Senate, the report of the committee of conference ou the bill to fix the per diem and mileage of members of the General Assembly for the next session showed that they had agreed with the House committee in fixing the per diem at jive dollars instead of three hundred dollars & session, the time not to exceed sixty days, mileage ten cents both ways. The Senate adopted this report. This does not apply to last session or the present session. The appropriation bill was taken up ou the third reading, but postponed without action to 8 P. M. The concurrent resolution to elect a judge of the fifth judicial circuit was referred to the Uwlii>inrv with instructions to con J"'*" ? J ' fer with the attorney-general, ana report tomorrow. This matter provoked a heated debate ; Taft, Swails, Nash and others insisting, without avail, to incorporate all the circuit judges in the resolution. The Senate met at 8 and immediately took up the appropriation bill. Gaillard (Rep.) offered the following amendment to follow Section 9 : "For the payment of warrants of the comptroller-general, issued for stationery for the Senate committee rooms and clerks for the regular session of 1876, ?800." Adopted. Taft, (Rep.) moved to amend Section 5 by adding a provision that the deficiencies be paid pro rata. Adopted. Maxwell offered an amendment to Section 2, subdivision 5, providing for an appropriation of ?15,548.25 for the salaries of the professors of the Uuiversity, past due, for the present fiscal year. Adopted. The bill then passed a third reading, and was sent to the House with the Senate amend_ ments. Several unimportant bills passed a second readiug, and the Senate adjourned. In the House, the proceedings present nothing of special iuterest. Thursday, May 31. In the Senate, the first matter of iuterest was the announcement from the House that that body had refused to concur in the Senate amendments to the appropriation bill, and had appointed a committee of conference, consisting of Messrs. J. J. Hemphill, Blue and Simpson. Senator Gary was very much moved by the announcement of this committee, and very plainly intimated that he considered the composition of the committee a cut and dried thing. He said that, as the House committee was composed entirely of those in favor of the interest section, lie thought it only fair that the Senate committee should consist entirely of those opposed to this section. The president appointed as the Senate committee, Messrs. Jeter, Witherspoon and Nash ; the first named being in favor of, and the last two named being opposed to the 5th section. Gary was not satisfied with this committee, and asked that Mr. Meetze be added. The Chair ruled this to be out of order, and Gary appealed from the ruling of the Gliair. as me committee stood, he said, it was a foregone conclusion that the amendments made by the Senate would fall to the ground; It was the same old Eight to Seven business. He had the highest respect for the impartiality and integrity ol'the president; but he had evidently made a mistake this time. He could not sit in his seat as the autocrat of the Senate. The mouth of the Senate could not be gagged by any parliamentary legislation. He would oppose such action as long as he had the power, seeing, as he did, that it was a scheme to build Up the bloated bondholders of Wall street, and add additional taxation upon a people already ruined by excessive taxation. Swails(Kep.) said he had been sitting in the Senate for nine years, and had never heard a similar question raised. He sustained the Chair, and ventured to explain that the action of the conference committee was not necessarily binding upon the Senate. The vote was then taken on the appeal, and the ruling of the Chair was sustained by a vote of 2.1 to 2; Taft (Rep.J and Gary (Dem.) voting in the negative. Livingston, from the committee of conference appointed to settle the difference between the House and Senate on the bill to further reduce the number and pay of officers, attaches, Ac., of the General Assembly, stated that an agreement had been made, anu the bill was ordered to be enrolled. The differences are not important. The next matter taken up was the all-important bill to make appropriations for the payment of the salary and mileage* of the meml>ers of the General Assembly. Ac. As has been frequently intimated, a heated debate was the result. After several minor amendments had been agreed to, the amendment seeking to fix the pay of the memliersat six hundred dollars for the'last, and two hundred dollars for this session was taken up. and here the battle was pitched. Mr. Witherspoon (Dem.) moved to make the rmv $.'500 for last session and 8200 for this session. Taft (Rep.) moved to indefinitely postpone this amendment. Crittenden (Dem.) seconded Taft's motion, and supported his action by saying that the pay for the last General Assembly was llxed by statute $600, and jthepavfor this session was regulated* by the 'Constltiftioti to be at the same rate per diem as the last regular session. They could not reduce the pay of the members of the General '^sijeinbly, foiMhe^c two;sessions, any more than they 'could reduce the pay of the judges. The law guaranteed them $1,200, and the members had, as a fair compromise, agreed to take $800 for both sessions. He would, he Bald, vote for the $800, and would vote, under protest, ' that the law should compel them to take that amount. Mr. Witherspoon was unalterably opposed to placing the amount at eight hundred dollars, and, while he would not be understood as imputing unworthy motives to any who differed with him, yet he felt that he would be doing an injustice to the people to ask any more than five hundred dollars. It bad been said that the laws and the Constitution had fixed the amounts, <fcc. The Constitution said that the members could not increase their salaries; but he could find no provision which forbade them from reducing their salaries, if they were so disposed. The appropriation bill was the charter by which they received their money, and, if they didu|t appropriate more than five hundred dollars, all the laws in the land could not compel them to take any more. Every man was entitled to his own convictions, however. He did not mean to impugn the motives of any one. Mr. Gary said that he heartily concurred with the Senator from Greenville (Crittenden) in holding that they were entitled, under the law, to twelve hundred dollars. They proposed, however, to be moderate and cnt down their pay thirtythree percent., and reduce their salaries one-half in all future Legislatures. They had reduced their own salaries lower than alftbe other State officers. If their constituents were not satisfied, ? .1 i? J u-? fKontfnl wen JUL Uleill UO uianniinucvu iio uno iia??iin*i?< that he did not represent any picayune constituency, and he thought it came with a poor grace from those who sought to fasten upon the tax-payers of South Carolina a $270,000 tax to pay the bloated bondholders of Wall street. You who want reform must not do it in such a picaynne style; we want reform that means reform, and not the mere sham of a reduction for the purpose of manufacturing a little cheap notoriety. The olher side bad talked loudly of sustaining the credit of the State ancfthe'stain of Repudiation,! Ac., and then turned right round and asked their own officers to repudiate half their salaries. He was not to be scared by any newspaper talk. It must be recollected that several of the Senators had received their $800, and had parted with their certificates, and it was more than could be expected of poor frail human.nature to give back what they had already got outof the treasury. I have, he said, always been willing to draw $1,200 and I am willing to do so this morning, and if I saw fit I would give $100 of it to the executive committee of my county to carry the next election with. Those who only wanted $500 could accommodate themselves by only taking that amount. Mr. Meetze, (Dem.) was in favor of the $800, and thought that it was not a discretionary matter with them. It was a matter of law, and they had thought it best to compromise the matter and place it at $800 instead of $1,200. They had given evidence of their desire to retrench and reform by passing a bill reducing their pay one half for the next session, and he thought no more could be expected. Green, (Rep.) and Nash, (Rep.) were of course in favor of all they could get, and so expressed themselves. Mr. Witherspoon in reply to the suggestion from the other side that those who only wanted fcuvi npewl not take anv morn, said that he did not intend to take any more. He had taken the position that the State was too poor to meet her debts, and he was not going to be inconsistent enough to vote for any more than he thought she oould afford. Mr. Bowen, (Dem.) concurred with the senator from York, (Witherspoon) and took the ground that the assertion that they were compelled by law to take so much was ridiculous, and that it was a matter which remained solely with them. A vote was then reached, the question being on the indefinite postponement of Witherspoon's motion to place the pay for the two sessions at $500. The vote stood 17 to 10 in favor of indefinite postponement; the seventeen immortal names being: Bird, (Rep.); Duncan, (Rep.); Gaillard, (Rep.); Green, (Rep.); J oh nson, (Rep.); M ketze, (Dem.): Swails, (Rep.); Warley, (Rep.); Carter, (Rep.); Crittenden, (Dem.); Evans, (Dem.); Gary. (Dem.); Livingston, (Dem.); H. J. Maxwell, (Rep.); Nash, (Rep.);. Taft, (Rep.); Williams, (Rep.) Mr. Cannon, (Dem.) theft moved to make the salary $400 for last session and $200 for this session, which was voted down by the same vote as the above. Mr. Gary then said that if the other side were soanxious to be economical, be would go as far as any of them, and moved to strike out the section entirely and have no pay at all for either session. The vote was taken on this extreme reform movement, which was lost by a vote of 15 to 12. Those voting for no pay were: Messrs. Bowen, (Dem.) Counts, (Dem.) Cochran, (Rep.) Gary, (Dem.) Crittenden, (Dem.) Jeter, (Dein ) Livingufrm i TVin I Mfifitze. f Dem.l Nash. (Reu.) Taft. (Rep.) Todd, (Dern.) and Witherspoon, (Dem.) The vote was then taken on the adoption of the $800, which was agreed to by a vote of 17 to 10. Those voting for the $800 were; Senators Bird, Crittenden, (Dem.) Duncan, Evans, (Dein.) Green, Livingston, (Dem.) Johnson, II. J. Maxwell, Mektzb, (Dem.) Nash, Swails, Taft, Warley, Williams and Carter. The appropriation was then raised from to $94,f>oo to meet the increase of pay just adopted, and the bill was then passed to a third reading. The following Senate bills have been approved by the Governor: To provide for tilling vacancies in county offices, &c.; to regulate the appointment of county officers; to reduce the pay of county commissioners. &c.; to render officers of corporations responsible; to require school claims, &c., to be sworn to ; to carry into effect Section 14, Article IV of the Constitution relative to the judiciary. At the evening sessiou, the supply bill was taken up. Cochran moved to amend Section 1 by reducing the tax from 71 to 5] mills. Taft thought this too little; but Cochran's amendment was adopted by a vote of 16 to 11. In section 2, which provides for county taxes, the tax was left at three mills, there being special taxes added in the counties of Union, Greenville, Charleston, Marion, Wil% * ' Ml liamsburg and Ularenoon, ot one mm eacn, and in Orangeburg of half a mill, devoted to past indebtedness. In section 4, which makes it a penal offence to levy any other tax 'than is 'prescribed' in the bill, an attempt was made by Taft to strike out the penalty, but it was lost. The section, as it stands, prohibits the levying of a tax for the Bonanza claims. Cochran moved to amend Section 6 so as to make members' certificates for 1876 receivable for taxes. Adopted. In Section 7, Bowen moved to amend by changing the time at which the first instalment is to be paid (from the 1st of June to the 1st of July) to the loth of June to the 15th of July. Adopted. In the same section Gary moved to amend the interest to be charged on non-payment of first instalment from 1 per cent, a month to 7 per cent, per annum. Adopted. The bill then passed its second reading, without further amendment. In the House, the appropriation bill was received lrom the Senate with sundry amendments, one or two of which were read. The Wrmau r#.fn9pd to fonnur in anv oue. and ap ! pointed as a committee of conference Messrs. I J. J. Hemphill, Blue and Simpson. A message was read from the Go\ernor announcing that he had approved the following acts: To empower the Governor to ap pointa trial justice for Blackstocks; to amend ! the charter of Gaffney's ; to prevent clerks of j probate courts from acting as attorneys therein. Fkiday, June 1. The disagreement between the two houses I relative to the appropriation bill has assumed ! an alarming aspect, and the chances are now | nine to one that this most important measure, j for the passage of which the General Asseraj bly was especially couvened, will, after weeks of labor, be lost. The contest during the j three meetings of the conference committees was extremely warm, aud a host of proposij tious were submitted by the House, none of | which were acceptable to the Senate. | The most prominent among these proposi; tions were as follows: The House committee first offered that if the Seuate would recede ! from their amendments, and allow two hundred and sixty-three thousand dollars to be I appropriated to pay the interest on the consolidated debt, the House would then agree to pass a resolution authorizing the Governor to 1 borrow money, to the amount of one hundred thousand dollars, to be pro-rated for deficiencies. The Senate committee refused this proposition. The House committee then offered, in addition to the above, to authorize the Governor to borrow two hundred thousand dollars to be pro-rated for deficiencies. This was likewise refused by the Senate committee. The third proposition by the House committee was that, if the Senate would recede from its amendments, the House would agree to appropriate two hundred and seventy thousand dollars, to be apportioned pro rata between the public debt, the Bonanza warrants and deficiencies ; and, further, the House would agree to authorize the Governor to borrow as much as two hundred thousand dollars to pay the balance that might be due on these claims. ! This was also refused, and the House then offered, as a final proposition, that if the SenI ate would recede from its amendments, except the amendment relative to the Lunatic Asylum, the House would agree to strike out the fifth section. Even this was refused by the Senate. On the part of the Senate the only proposition of importance offered was that a financial board should be appointed to canvass the whole indebtedness of the State; that a tax of seven and a quarter mills should be levied, and then, when the debt was approved by the board, to pay pro rata without discriminating in favor of any one class of claims. The House committee refused this proposition. There were, of course, other minor propositions, which proved no less unsatisfactory. The composition of the committee of free conference leaves no room to hope that a satisfactory agreement will be reached. The House committee are all in favor of the fifth (or interest) section, and the Senate committee are all opposed to it. It is estimated that the loss of the bill will prolong the session fully three weeks. In the Senate, at the night session, the flnmmirtpp nf mnference on the matter of the disagreement between the two houses as to the amendments to the general appropriation bill, reported that they had met the committee from the House, and, after three separate conferences, failed to agree, and therefore, asked to be discharged. The Senate adopted the report and sent a message to the House asking for a committee of free conference. Messrs. Crittenden, Howard and Gary, were appointed on the part of the Senate as the committee of free conference. The bill to make appropriations for the salary and mileage of the members of the General Assembly, &c., was taken up on the third reading, and the 6rst section amended bj raising the total appropriation from $81,400 to $105,000 to meet the expenses of the General Assembly for the last and this session. Meetze offered an amendment that no Senator or member should receive more than 8200 who was sworn in either house after the 25th of April. Nash violently opposed this measure, and was wise enough to see that this amendment was a direct thrust at the members of the late Mackey House. Meetze supported hib amendment on the ground that members who bad continuously refused to recognize the legal government should not be paid for the work they did not do. A vote being taken on the amendment it was lost. The bill was then sent to the House with the amendments by a vote of 19 to 12. In the House the Speaker stated that the House having declared the seat of D. A. Straker, of Orangeburg, vacantia new election had been ordered, and he had received from the county board of canvassers the following returns and the certificate of election of Mr. Dibble: Whole number of votes cast 5,308, of which Dibble received 2,575 and Straker 2,536. Scattering 15. Mr. Dibble, who was present, was duly sworn in and assigned a seat. The bill to prevent the intermarriage of rages and define the penalty for the same, was killed by an overwhelming vote. At the night session, Mr. Simpson, from the committee of conference on the appropriation bill, reported that they had been unable to agree. He moved that a committee of free conference be appointed. Adopted. Messrs. Hood, Bamberg and Miller were appointed the committee, and a message was sent to the Senate. The House adjourned until 8 p. m. Monday, there being no business on the caleudar. Vote, yeas 52, nays 36. Saturday, June 2. In the Senate, the House concurrent resolution of inquiry as to the constitutionality of the election for Circuit Judges on the 16lh day of December, A. D., 1875, was postponed to next session. Monday, June 4. In the Senate, the House bill to prohibit the sale of seed cotton, between sundown aud sunrise, passed a second reading. In the House, a resolution was offered by Mr.. Younians that the two houses meet in joint assembly on Wednesday, the 6th ol June, for the purpose of electing a Judge ol the 5th Judiciul Circuit of South Carolina. Mr. Miller offered an amendment to in elude the Judge of the 8th Circuit also. Yeas 42; nays 25. Concurred in. Mr. Miller presented the papers of contest in the case of Straker vs. Dibble. Mr. Sheppard objected to their reception on the ground that the House had adjudged Straker in contempt, and could not, therefore, communicate with him. The papers were rejected The Senate and House are at loggerheads over the appropriation bill and the wheels ol business are clogged. The Senate has stricken out the clause paying the interest on the public debt, but has added over one hundred thousand dollars in the way of increased sala ries and other items. The House refuses con currence. Clear thought and vigorous action depend | upon that perfect condition of system result | ing from pure blood.

AS the prospect for a good wheat crop is excellent, better your condition by sowing some of your best lands in Millet Grass Seed. Corn, to-day, is worth from 90 cents to $1.00 per bushel, and some are paving $1.25. Now, gentlemen, for your good we advertise and advocate this thingMillet Hay. A man knowing a thing as we know the value of these grasses?Millet and Hnngai rian?cannot help but speak highly of them. It is not the profit we derive from the sale of the seed that induces us to advocate these grasses. It is for your benefit as a forage for your horses, mules and cattle. We sometimes think if these grasses were a very prolific kind of cotton, and would make as much in proportion, to the acre as these grasses do, what a big sale and demand there would be for it. Why not risk $2 and get back from $40 to $60? You can do it with tne right kind of preparation and a good season. Do Sou get it in any kind of a cotton crop yon make ? o. These grasses are as certain to revolutionize the country as a horse, mule and cattle feed, as farmers are to plant cotton. W. H. A J. P. HERNDON. COLLARS.
