W. W, HUMRHREYS. ' ; ? , THE SUPPLY BILL. ' / - The committee have completed the' supply bill, and it will soon be presented to the Legislature. T"ho general. State . tax, exclusive of the two mill school tax, is five and one-half mills. In addition to this is the county tax, and poll tax which ie limited to persons from twenty-one to sixty years of ige. The taxes are paya - ble in gold and silver coin and national bank notes, in two equal instalments, in May and October. It is left optional to pay the May. instalment is May or pay I the whole in October with a penalty of . six per cent on tthc mit instalment THE SILVER BILL. The bill, for the remonetization ofsil ver, which passed Congress by more than a two-thirl Vote? was returned by the President to the House, in which House the bill originated, with his objections. The House at once proceeded to pass the bill over the objections of the President Mr. Cox of Now Yojk, in speaking of the veto message, said, 'Ii was a fraud by a fraud." The yeas and nays being taken/ resulted in yeas 196, nays 73,?which be . ing more than two-thirds of the votes'! cast the bill was sent to the Senate. The j Senate proceeded at once to its considers- j tion, and passed it over the veto of the ?'President, by a vote of yeas 47, n^ys 19. The silver dollar is now a legal tender for all indebtedness, which is not payable in a specific meal or commodity. - ! THE CUBAN WAR ENDED. * The Cuban nnsurrection, which was in-! sugurated in 1368, and had for its object the independence of the island, has, after a long and bloody struggle, ended by the surrender of the insurgent forces, induced by concessions, made by the Spanish gov? ernment. The war has resulted in the granting of rights to the Cubans, which they'did not before possess, but whether of sufficient importance to compensate them for the ten years' war is doubtful. Ac-' cording to the terms of surrender, Cuba will be represented in the Spanish Cortes, in proportion to its population, and the provincial and municipal laws of Spain will be applied in its government and 3 d ministration. Our sympathies have been with the struggling Cubans, but having, failed in obtaining their independence, we hope ths rights they have secured will stimulate industry and.add to the pros? perity of the island; - PEACE ESTABLISHED IN EUROPE. The treaty of peace between Russia and Turkey was signed at San Stefano, on on last Saturday, the anniversary of the . enfranchisement of the serfs of Russia. The condition; of peace are, the payment by Turkey of one-thousand four hundred millions of roubles, with forty millions of pounds sterling in bonds added. Russia j will acquire by way of indemnity conaid- j arable territory in Armenia, including Ears and Batoum. The Mahommedan power in Europe is novt completely over* thrown with no,prospect that it will.ever j be re-established. It is not now probable that the peace of Europe will be further oisturbed., Austria yields to the inev? itable, and however much England may ? growl and threaten, she is powerless to resist the results which naturally fol? low the defeat of the Turks and the de? cided triumph of Russia. Peace may no w be regarded as established in Europe. The University Bill has passed both Houses of the Legislature, and will ' doubtless become a law. In the discus? sion of the All, Gen. Gary is reported to. have said: _ It matters not to me who favors tin's bill, whether' it be Governor Hampton or Governor anybody else. I shall not fol-' low. in any auch lead. I am a straight out Democrat, too, in this_sense. I have been charged with being an opponent of j the Administration. I throw back the charge. I do reserve the right, and will ' exercise it, of advocating that which I think, is right and condemning that which I regard as. wrong, matters not whom it may hurt I ha re heard that it j was customary for a number of members1 to closet themselves with the Governor and find oufWhat he desired to be done, thus violating precedents which had been established of these separate departments of government determining for them? selves questions, which might come re . sportively before the General Assembly. At present we want peace and harmo? ny in the Democratic party, and such attacks as these on the administration can produce only dissencion. Governor Hampton has the unquestionable right to hold and express opinions on the University bill, or any other bill. To deprive hJVn of this right would be to make him whom the people have selec? ted as their leader, not to follow blindly bqt intelligently, a mere cypher, and de? prive the State of the counsel of one whose experience and sources of infor ? mation should give to bin opinions weight and consideration. The Hon. Ben. Wade, who was for? merly for a number of years one of the United States Senaters from Ohio, died, at his residence on last Saturday. j BY TELEGRAPH, MILITARY REVIEW POSTPONED. * 60Y. HAMPTON TO BF. PRESENT, Tuesday, 19th day of March, the Day. Special Diqtatch to the Anderson Intelligencer. Columbia, March 6th, 1878. Adjutant General Moise will issue an order to-day postponing the inspection of troops at Anderson from the IPth to the 19th of March. Governor Hampton will be present if the Legislature adjourn iu time. The debate on th; Bonded Debt con? tinues without interruption iu the House, which will not come to a direct vote for ssveral days. ?The Legislature will not adjourn be? fore Friday 15th inst H. Speech of Hon. W. C. Brown' in tbe llon80 of Representatives on tbe Bond Question. Mr. Brown, of Anderson, obtained tbe floor and spoke as follows: It is with a degree of embarrassment that I approach this momentous. boud question, but I feel that it is a matter in which every member ought to act Calmly and dispas? sionately. It has been said that the Democratic party is solemnly pledged to pay every debt that is outstanding against the State, but I emphatically deny this. I deny that we are bound to pay any fraudulent debts. The Green campaign'did not bind us to pay these. Coming on down to tbe convention ia August, of which convention I had the honor to be a member, and a member of tbe committee appointed*to draft a plat? form of principles, let's see what was., done. At that convention nn executive committee was appointed, but they had j no power to bind the people of the State I by any pledge they made. -? They had no power to. go beyond the' platform j which was adopted by the Democratic j [ convention. It is true the Wallace House passed certain resolutions, and great j j stress has been placed upon them by those who have spoken on the opposite side, but what was the state of the coun? try when these resolutions were passed ? The' object uppermost iu the minds of all the good people of the State was to defeat Chamberlain and his horde of thieves. We would have been justifiable in making any promises in order to get out of their clutches. I would have voted for anything to defeat Chamber .lain. '' But were these promises binding? Everything was confusion and commo? tion. Nobody knew what a day would brim; forth. At that time*in the rays of the morning sun glittering bayonets were shining, upheld by Grant and his minions. Can you tall me that anything we did then can bind us now ? Why, we would have done anything to relieve our beloved State. I stand here to-day pledged to pay all honest debts. The committee, after tbe most careful and conscientious laboring for nearly six months, examining everything that could throw light on the subject, have made a', report showing their conclusions after investigating the whole subject. .Now, can we, who have only looked at the sub? ject ia a cursory manner, pretend to set up our judgment as. against theirs ? We ought to be bound by their report be? cause they understand the'subject much better than we possibly can. No law can .pass an act in which fraud enters. Frauds vitiate any contracts. Suppose Chamberlain shoulc have presented flfcy millions in bonds they would have to 4>e consolidated, whether issued legally or illegally, if we be guided by those who urge upon us to pay all the debts. Do you think, sir, we should pay those cou? pons which were stolen from, the State and covered and consolidated? These bonds are not legal obligations against the State. The law required that one million of bonds should be issued and they issued two millions. Now, should we be compelled to pay this additional million ? ! These bonds were deposited in vaults here aad then shipped to New York. In May, 1871, tbe tax payer's conven? tion proclaimed that this million was is? sued fraudulently. Every paper in tbe . State published to the world that the; e bonds were frauds, and that'the people of the State were hot going to pay them. Mr. Brown here read extracts from reso? lutions adopted at various public meet? ings and ^onversions, showing the de? termination of the people of South Carolina not to pay any debts contracted in fraud.. And yet, in the*face of all, these warnings of the tax payers, he went on to say, gentlemen get up' here and call the holders of these bogus bonds ? innocent bondholders. These scoun? drels were aiding and abetting the Radi? cal party all the time; and yet we hear them called innocent creditors. They had every opportunity of discovering whether the bonds were genuine or not, and if they bought worthless claims, it was their own doing, and .they are the only ones that should suffer. Is it pos? sible Tor any honest man to suppose that thuse speculators wire ignorant of what they wore doing whe n they bought these bonds for fifteen, tventy-five and thirty, cents on the dollar ? What ground could there be for heaping up the debts? Is it reasonable that we should come here and consider as sacred the bonds of these bloated bondholders ? The ques? tion narrows down to this, whether we should sacrifice the bloated bondholders or force o?r honest people to pay two millions of fraudulent debts? Is it rea? sonable that we should go on and not sustain the report of the committee? They came in with an admirable report. Is it right that we should not accept this report? Pause and think, gentlemen! There is another point of view in which this should be considered?political ? which i/i one which I do not like to con aider, but I must do it. The Democratic party cannot afford to carry such a load as this fraudulent debt if you place that load on' us, men from all parts of the State will rise up and refuse to pay it The mountaineers, those sturdy sons of toil, with their brawny arms aud sunburnt faces, will rise up and refuse to be forced into paying this monstrous, illegal debt, 'which you are trying to saddle on them. No. gentlemen, I cannot for a moment believe you will do such an unjust act. Why favor Northern capitalists to the in? jury of our own beloved and impoverished people? - . During the last campaign nearly every public speaker proclaimed from tbe stump that our people ought not to pay the heavy debts contracted by the infamous and thieving band of public plunderers who had infested our State. Georgia threat? ened to discard her fraudulent debts and all the newspapers thoughout the country waged a relentless war against those who made the proposition. The people all over the land said if Georgia repudiates her debt she will be ruined. But, not? withstanding all this, and all the threats of those who wanted to pay everything, Georgia actually refused to pay a large part of the obligations against the State which were tainted with fraud. What was-the reselt? Her bonds went up from that day. Has it ruined the honor of Geogia? Does she not stand as high as South Carolina? It will bo tbe same herea if we discard nur dishonest obliga? tions as Georgia did. Our bonds will ap? preciate in value,our honest creditors will feel easy, because they will know that we will pay all our honest debts, and as for the dishonest bondholders they deserve to suffer. No, I don't propose that our poor people shall be compelled to pay these unjust claims. It is said by some that the Ereat seal of the State is affixed to these onds. But how did tbe signature get there ? A set of scoundrels stole the name of the State and forged it on those bonds. They were no better than highwaymen. If a man is caught by a band of highway? men and told to siga a note for a large snm of money on the pain of death if he refuses to do so, do you think when thtie thieves come to get the money and he refuses to pay it, that they can force him to pay it by law. This is a parallel case and there is no difference whatever. One is just as bad as the oiber. Are we more interested in these bonds than we are in our own State? Why, sir, I feel that none of us would- to' do such a thing as this. Why, sir,.if I should vote to com | pel my people to pay the fraudulent claims and. further oppress them with taxation to make them pay, I would not dare to face my peop le, I could not go back and face my honest constituents. No, sir, as long I live I shall raise my voice against paying these debts." The New Lieu Law. The following bill, which has finally passed both houses, and only waits to be signed, is of much importance to the people of the State et Large : An Act to secure Landlords and Persons making Advances.

Dr. Gurley's method of treatii g Rupture is the best I have ever tried. Hi bos cured me. R. C. M. , Marietta, Ga. , Kpllepsey. My daughter has for the last three years 4>ecn subject to epileptic fib, having ai many as three a week during the mojjt of that time, and a continual jerking of the hands and feet. I have had her treated by a great many different doctors and failed to get any relief until I tried Dr. Gurley. Since he com? menced treating her she has been free from jerking of the hands and feet, and has not had another fit. I believe she will be cored by his treatment. Mas. It. House.
