that each class of industry might be the best

a committee of three was appointed by
the chair to draw a resolution expressive of
the sense of the meeting. The following gentlemen

newly-elected United States Senator from Louisiana,
is a Jew. He is the third Israelite
who has occupied a seat in the Senate?the
others being David Yulee, of Florida, and
Judah P. Benjamin, of Louisiana. It is
said that some auti Grant Republicans are
quietly organizing a movement to bring forward
the present secretary of war, George W.
McCrary, as the candidate for the Republican
nomination as President. Tennessee owes
Maryland, and it is stated that the latter will
sue her sister State in the Supreme Court of
the*Ufiited States.-*-*>' ^xHjfovdrnor Tlkriranft,

to supply the vacancy occasioned by
the death of Hon. Julian Hartridge.
THE PENSION LAW.
Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken furnishes the Charleston
News and Courier with the following information
in regard to the pension law recently
passed by Congress:
Ou the 25th of January, Mr. Hayes approved
the "Arrears of Pension Bill,"'thus
making it the law. Every mail since has
brought me one or more letters from friends
in South Carolina, expressing gratification at
this fact, and inquiring how the writer should
proceed to secure his (or her) back pay, for he
(or she) the pensioner, had been in the Seminole,
Black Hawk, Mexican or some other
war, with which the "Arrear bill" had nothing
to do. Before this reaches you, their
hopes will have been blasted, but it may not
be amiss to publish a few thoughts upon the
subject of pensions, as our people at the South
are morbidly sanguine that the present Congress
will give many of them material relief
by passing pension laws, which will apply to
Southern as well as Northern soldiers who
were in wars anterior to 1861.
In 1871 (I think) a pension law was enacted
granting a pension to every soldier who
had been disabled, (or his representative if
he had been killed) in the "war waged for
the suppression of the rebellion." Of course,
this meant only Federal soldiers. The day
of payment of the pension was to date from
the passage of the law, aud all soldiers who
did not, within five years from that date, ap
ply for a" pension, were to be debarred.
The "Arrears of Pension Bill" amends
that law so as to date the day of payment
back to the day of the death or wounding of
the soldier, and removes the five years' restriction.
So, if a soldier was wounded at
the first battle of Manassas and is drawing
but $8 a month, this bill gives him additional
pay of nearly $1,000 in the aggregate.
There are over 300,000 of these pensioners,
and their number will be greatly increased by
the removal of the five years' restriction and
this lumping off to them of ten years' pay at
one payment.
No one estimates that it will require less
than $30,000,000 to pay these arrearages, and
some say it will require all of $100,000,000.
The only obstruction now in the way is the
passage of a bill to appropriate money to
meet the demands of this arrears bill. Whether
this will be an impediment of any conseauence.
vou mav iudge when I tell you a
wooden legged Federal general framed and
introduced the bill in a Democratic House
which passed it; it then passed a Republican
Senate, and was approved by a Republican
President, who, convinced at least of its impropriety,
hesitated several days before he
would sign it, but had not the nerve to veto it.
The appropriation committee will doubtless
recommend the necessary appropriation ;
the Southern mejnbere will not oppose it
from that delicate sense of honor peculiar to
them; the two parties, North and South, will
vie with each other in approving the appropriation
; the money will be required to come
forth, aud the man who chews tobacco or
takes an occasional glass of grog will have to
pay that much more for his quid and his
toddy.
The surviving volunteer soldiers of the
war are really a power in the land, and the
two parties North are vieing with each other
to secure their votes, so that this arrears pension
matter is not, and cannot be considered,
a just claim upon the Treasury of the United
States, but is virtually, if not really, a political
measure advocated by either party to defeat
the other. Neither will gain or deserve
special credit, and so "honors will be easy."
A few more words upon the general question
of pensions. On the 9th of March, a law
was enacted to pension the surviving soldiers,
or the widows of soldiers, of the war of 1812<
Would you believe it, there are now on file in
the pension office more than 26,000 applications
for pensious under that bill ? I did not
think this could possibly be the case, but so
v it is. Human longevity has been admirably
illustrated since the passage of that bill. As
I have received what appeared to me to be a
fair proportion of these pension claims from
the veterans of the war of 1812, I have multiplied
that number by 292, the number of
representatives upon the floor of the House,
and find that the product is but little more
than one-third the reported number of applicants.
I have wondered where these 26,000
veterans or surviving widows came from.
The effect of the unanticipated number, I
fear, has killed the possibility of the passage
of a law pensioning the surviving soldiers of
the Seminole and Mexican ware. These wars
were fought principally by Southern soldiers,
and this will be another reason why pensions
will never be paid to their veterans. When
the pension bill relating to these wars was
recently under consideration in the House,
some oue moved to amend by adding a clause
:? . ?i.?
granting a peusiuu iu every vujunreer auuucr
who was in the Federal army from 1861 to
1864 inclusive. Would you believe it, it
passed by acclamation, which really killed
the pensiou bill; therefore, I can but say to
the Southern survivors of the Florida, Black
Hawk or Mexican ware, possess your souls in
patience, for I do not believe the Forty-6fth
Congress will award you one dollar for the
duty performed or the exposure and risk you
suffered for "our common country."
There is auother pension bill yet to be reported
to the House, which restores to the
peusion roll those men and their widows of
the South who were once on the roll, but
were stricken from it by an act passed in
February, 1862. Whether it will be reported
this Congress I am uuable to say. And if
reported, whether it will become a law, no
one can?, telp c You have heard of the man
who "said no".one but'a Creator could anticipate
what would be the verdict of a jury.
You or I can diagnose the hidden verdict of
a half dozen juries, even South Carolina post
bellum juries, easier than we could anticipate
the fate of a bill in the Forty-fifth Congress,
unless it were& bill known to be for the
benefit of the eDtire North.
I do not believe the bill restoring the
Southerners to their rights will pass; first,
because the Republican party do not think
we have any rights they are bound to respect;
and secondly, because the Northern Democracy
are so nearly of the same opinion, that
they will not oppose the Republicans in order
to favor us of the South. The National
Democracy to-day are practically divided by
the Potomac and the Ohio, and unless something
is done to remove this line of division

Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
LETTER FROM ROCK HILL.
Rock Hill, S. C., February 10.
Our streets have been quite crowded for
the past two weeks, with wagons of various
shapes and sizes, drawn by mules and horses
of like dissimilarity, all from North Carolina?wagons
laden with vegetables, garden
seeds, apples, corn, oats, flour, dried beef,
etc. W hen the contents of the wagons were
disposed of, then came the offer to sell the
team and wagon. Several succeeded in
making a clean sale of their entire stock in
trade. ? Several
droves of fine mules and horses
have also been in our market, and scarcely a
day passes that we don't see some farmer
leading from the sales-lot, one or two newlypurchased
mules, showing the increased prosperity
of our farming community. Nor do
our farmersiafck for the latest and most improved
styles of agricultural implements; as
we have in our .midst farmers and mechanics?the
inventors and patentees?of some of
the best adjustable iron plows now in use.
A spirit of rivalry induced them to improve
upon old styles.
'Thay phosphate question has agitated the
minds of the survivors of the Grange organization
; but no decided step has been taken.
Yet the planters agree that they feel themselves
somewhat imposed upon by the phosphate
monopoly.
Trial Justice Fewell has had notice from
the Secretary of State of his re-appointment
arTrial Jiistice.?! , :
Some cases of trespass of stock, in violation
of the recent stock law, have been recently
tried by Trial Justice Fewell. Appli-1
cations for redress under some of the more
recent-acts <>f the legislature, have also been
made to him.' The applicants of the latter
are con6ned to the colored people, who seem
quite fond of litigation. But little encour.
agement is needed to make them "go to law,"
as they say.
Miss Wade recently gave a public exhibition
of her class in calisthenics. The class is
admirably drilled, not to have yet taken a
full course. The manoeuvres peculiar to
calisthenics were new and quite novel to most,
if not all,- the audience. The various attitudes
assumed in performing the different
evolutions, bring every muscle of the body
and the limbs into play, which is well calculated
to strengthen and fully develop the entire
physical system. Calisthenic exercises
are not necessarily violent, and we think if
introduced into our schools as a recreation, to
which the pupils shou d devote one hour each
day, it would be highly beneficial to the general
health of the children. It is a sport
that can be indulged in, indoor and out.
The new school system recently adopted
here, seems to be working admirably. Entire
satisfaction now seems to prevail among
the advocates and patrons of this wise and
judicious system.
It is a self evident fact that our town is not
yet finished, but continues to grow. The
trustees of the Baptist church have purchased
a beautiful lot upon which they propose to
erect a <handsome church edifice. W. B.
Wilson, Jr., and A. E. Smith have recently
purchased eaeh a most desirable location,
upon which they propose to build each a residence.
We would suggest that our postoffice building
needs some improvements made upon it.
The vast amount of matter that comes here
requires more room and a bettei-arranged office
in order to accommodate the people and
the distribution of the mails. If the windows
were filled with lock-boxes, we feel satisfied
that such an improved arrangement
would be couducive to the convenience of
citizens, and more especially so to our merchants,
whose mail receipts are very heavy.
The cost would be but a trifle, compared with
the satisfaction it would secure.
Mr. James Young died at Gordon's Hotel,
Saturday, at 4, P. M. He came here, some
eight years ago, from Illinois. He married a
daughter of William Sturgis, after which, he
and wife emigrated to Arkansas, where they
remained several years. They then went to
Illinois. He became insane and was placed
in an asylum, and his wife came back to her
people. After her return to this place, Mr.
Young recovered from his mental derangement
and was released from confinement. He
was unable, pecuniarily, to come to his wife.
She sent him m?>uey, and he came here several
days ago. Since his arrival, he has been
confined to bed. His exposure and utter lack
of attention, since his release, so completely
| prostrated his entire system, as to render his
recovery impossible. He was kindly treated,
on his return. Dr. Hope waited upon him,
but could not save the dying man. He leaves
a widow and several helpless children, for
whom the sympathies of the community are
deeply enlisted. His remains were interred
in Laurelwood cemetery. Lux.
ftaT A Chinese couple were married by a Sacramento
Justice, who informed them that,
according to Section 500,000 of the Code, it
was necessary that the bride should be immediately
kissed, either by her husband or somebody
else. The bridegroom said it was contrary
to Chinese propriety for a husband to
kiss his wife before folks, but if the justice
would exclude the Chinese spectators, he
would obey the law in the presence of the
Americans, whom he regarded as of no account.
His suggestion was followed, and he
kissed his wife.
