A Small Way of Doing Business. The following circular has been forwarded to us by the Comptrollei General, with the statement that the Legislature made no appropriation to ». MR'uy tlie e^pepscs of carry Lig put the provisions of the ^ct/atid that there U no way lit which he can reach those interested, unless tlie newspa pers of the State will generously pub lish the circular. Qf course Comptroller fleueral Stopey is in no way to blame, 'H>ur1t"is*diflerent witli the Legisla ture, for it is tlie same picayunisb policy of destestable meanness which subjects the press of the State to so hiauy drafts upon its time and capi tal. If a new carpet had to be bought for the legislative balls or new desks for the members, very good care would •be taken to proyiijs for paym'ehtV and It would be thdugh't d’freak bflnsani- iy ' ifr'lke'Sergeunt-at-Arms were to write to the carpet or furniture ‘deal ers, and state that the Legislature had decided that' new carpets and new "desks vi'et-i;'necessary, blit had made too appropriation, and that there was ho way ©f getting them unless tin carpet'innl furniture dealers would 'gcncromly supply them. Now this is precisely what the Legislature has done in-this instance. In fact, it is ^rhe meanest' kind of sponging, be cause that bhdy* itolled upon tlie fact that the newspapers toijched by sym pathy would net refqsp to publish, for the reason that it would iuflicta hard ship upon the meritorious beneficiar ies of the act. No profession or occu pation is subjected lo so many drafts upon its generosity, for which no thanks arc ever returned, as the news- toape? prosrf, knd no profession is lia ble to so many 'rLka and heavy charges for current expenses. . When the beneficiaries are eluirclies, benevolent institutions, or needy pri vate individuals, we grin and bear it, without uttering a complaint, but When it is the great State of South Carolina, to which we have to contrib ute our quota of taxation upon the capital engaged in our business, we protest that it is a very small, misera ble way of doing business. Never theless ve think our patriotic Comp- trellbir-Cfcftilti'aJ hc.s do.}e right ic ap pealing to the gehofosi'ty of the press an-behalf of the Wptmded veterans, who have so many claims upon the sympathy of our people, ahd 'fo'r their sake we make rbqnl fdr 1 the' circular, while at the same time we protest against this forced levy upohourcapi tul and resources.

Correspondence of Tlie Aiken Recorder. Washington. March 1ft, 1886. Within a week Congress has had two oppotunities to suppress a cus tom that has been criticised by the whole country. I refer to tlie custom of junketing funeral excursions whenever a Sena tor or representative happens to die. It is one against which public senti ment has long manifested itself. Yet the junketing goes on. It is estimat ed that the expense of transporting tlie remains of Senator Miller to Cali fornia by special train and sending with it a Congressional committee which will return in the same way, will be $20,000. The expense of tlie. funeral train and committee tiiat have gone with the deceased Representa tive Hahn to New Orleans, will cost at least half that amount*. i " 1 One member of Congress has had the courage to declai«Hutnst*lf again*t this senseless way of Spending thi people’s money. It was "MrV Qates, a one armed Democrat from Alabama. He offered a resolution to amend the House rules so as to prohibit the ap (.'ointment of funt ral committees to ac company tlie dead bodies of members beyondthe limits of Washington City. If it should be ado. ted, then tlie pro posed plan of confining the delivery o eulogies over d«*eeased members t<> special Sunday sessions would be next in order. It isfearrying the matter furthur tbanei hermityorgood taste demnm 9 to lay aside the nations bus ness tor a whole day when a member’s death is announced, and for another whole day to honor his memory with pane gyric oratory. No patriotic member cf either House of Congress would wisl t ihave his demise stop public busim • or desire a junketing expedition t*. celebrate it: 1 Death h'as been busy in tlieFortyninth Congress, having taken already two Republican and twoDeinocratie mem bers from the lower House, and trom the Senate, one Republican Senatoi and a Denocratic vice-Prosident. The Sudden death of Ex-Governor Hahn of Lousiana, a prominent Republican Congressman from that State, was ascribed to the bursting of a bloo< vessel from violent coughing.

Thiseon- slsts of all grades, from a*$5 Overcoat to $40, the finest. There is very little change in these garments; tlie pat terns are very neat in style, and con servative in Colors, and the linings in Satin and Silk make a fashionable over-garment that no one need be ashamed to wear. Just think of it, the best‘dressed gentlemen fire now patronizing tills Emporium for Fash ionable- Dress and businoGa Suits, which are made to fit equal to any Merchant Tailor’s work and at one- half the price; There are “no better goods out into Suits tlian can be found in this well selected Stock. You can find everything a gentleman needs froni his Hat down to his Shoes, such as Underwear, Neckwear, Hats, fine Shoes, and fine Clothing. This is undoubtedly the LARGEST AND MOST COMPLETE STOCK in the State, and at prices for the same Grade of Goods cannot be competed with anywhere. My long experience in this business and having the taste (which has been proven), has given me the advantage over other competi tors, in having the FINEST AND MOST RELIABLE STOCK in tho City.
