' 8ept *?, 187? 11 ' tkt NEW Y?ltK SUN FOR ?87fli Tnu Sd*x will bo printed every day during the year to cucio. Its purpose and method will be the tame is In the pant: To present all tho trews in a readablo shape, and to tell the truth though the heavens fall. Tat: Sun has been, Is, and will continue to be in* dependent of everybody and everything save the Truth and Its uwn convietlont of duty. That It the only policy Which an honest newspaper need have. That Is the policy which has won for this newspaper tho confidence aud friendship of a wider constituency than was evor enjoyed by any other American journal. Tut Sux Is the newspaper of the people. It it hot (or the rich man against the poor man, or for tho poor Utah against the rich man, hut It seeks to de equal justice to all Interests in the community. It is not the organ of uny person, class, sect, m party. Thcro need be no mystery about its loves and nates. It is for the honest man against the rogues every time. It Is for the honest Democrat as against the dishonest Republican, aaa for the honest Republican n against tho di-honcst Dem? ocrat. It docs not take IU cue from the utterances ?f any politician or political organisation. It gives its support unreservedly when men or measures are lu agreement with the Constitution and with the principles upon which this republic was founded for the people. Whenever the Con? stitution and constitutional principles are violated ?as lu the outrageous conspiracy of 1976, by which a man not elected was placed In the President's office, where he still remains?It speaks out for the right. That is The Sus'a Idea of independence. In this respect there will be no change In its pro? gramme for 1379. The Bvh has fairly earned the hearty hatred of rasaal... frauds, and humbugs of all sorts and sizes. It hopes to deserve that hatred not less in the year 1879 than in 1st8,187t, or any ve?r gone by. Tux Sun Is printed for the men and women of to-day, whose concern is chiefly with tho affairs of to-day. It has both the disposition and the ability to afford its readers the promptest, fullest and most accurate intelligence of whatever in the wide world is worth attention. To this end the resources belonging to wcll-eiitablished prosperity will be liberally em? ployed. The present disjointed condition of parties In this country, and the uncertainty of the future, lend an extraoidinary significance to the events of the coining year. To present with accuracy and clearness the exact situation In each of Its varying phases, and to expound, according tolls well-known methods, the principles that should guide us through the labyrinth, will be an important part of the Tub Sun's work for 1879. We have the means of making Tux Sun, as a political, a literary, and a general newspaper, more entertaining and more useful than ever beforo; and we mean to apply thorn freely. Our rates of subscription remain unchanged. For the Daily Sun, a tour-psgo sheet of twenty eight columns, the {price by mail, postpaid, is SS cents a month, or SO.SO a year; or including the Sunday paper, an eight-page sheet of fifty-six columns, the price is 83 cents a month, or 87.70 a year, postage paid. The Sunday edition of TheSex Is also furnished separately at Si.20 a year, postage paid. The Sunday Sun, In addition to the current news, pre? sent* a most entertaining and instructive body of literary and miscellaneous matter, in bulk twice as great and In value not Inferior to that of the best monthly magazines of the day, at one-tenth of their cost. Tho Wkklt Sun Is especially adapted for those who do not lake a New Tork daily paper. The news of the week is fully presented, It* market re? ports are furnished to the latest moment, and its agricultural department, edited with great care and ability, Is unsurpassed. The Weekly Sun is probably read to-day by more* farmer* than any other paper published. A choice story, with other carefully prepared miscellany, appears in each issue. The Weekly protests its readers by barring its advertising columns against frauds and bum bugs, and furnishes more good matter for less money than can be obtained from auy other source. The price of the tt-h.t Sun, elgflt pages, fifty six columns is St a year, postage paid. Vor clubs of ten nendlsg 83.0 we will send an extra copy free Address ? L W. ENGLAND.

TOWERS ?fe CO. 1 CTflt 10 13 E. B. MUKKAY, Editor. THURSDAY MORNING, DEC'R 26, 1878. FROM COLUMBIA. OI K EDITORIAL LETTEB. Coumdia, S. C, Dec. 23,1878. The pressure of business upon tbe Legis j lature last week necessitated long morning . and night sessions, and the afternoons were ! crowded with business of various kinds, ! which prevented the preparation of our j usual weekly letter, and therefore we will I attempt in this letter to give a brief resume of the past two weeks legislation, which Will practically close tbe work of the sos I slon, as wc will finally adjourn on Tuesday I morning at four o'clock, and thus reach I our homes on that evening in time for the i Christmas holidays, having completed the I work of the Legislature in just four weeks, l which makes this the shortest session that ! has been held since the war. When we left off cur last letter the dis? cussion of the propriety of abolishing tue hoin'd court was just begun, and appeared to be quite a hopeless task. It was discussed from day to day for about three days?Messrs. Brown, Childs, Shaw, Cooke, Moody, R, R. Hemp hill, W. K. Bradley and Murray advoca? ting its abolition, and Messrs. Kennedy, Humbert, Johnstone, Scarboro, J. J. Hemp hill, Shand, Miles, Aldrich, Buist, Simon ton and Has kell opposing. The speeches were warm in interest, and some of them quite eloquent, while some were to a cer? tain extent personal. Of this latter class was the speech of Mr. J. J. Hetnphill, who was put up to using certain articles from tbe Intelligencer upon the coupon cases before Judge Mackey to show that Mr. Murray approved of the Court, and was therefore inconsistent in now favoring its abolition. Mr. Haskell furnished him the articles, which were sent up from Charles? ton by the advocates of bondholders in that city. Mr. Murray replied, showing that he had read only portions of the articles, which, when taken as a whole, showed that his position was at that time in favor of the Bond Commission's report, and opposed to the payment of the fraudulent portion of the debt, without committing himself to the Court. He also argued that the failure to get Kimpton's testimony occurred after the articles were written, and that if he had favored the Court before, that would have been enough to change his opinion. He said that the bondholders had tried first to break up this Court by the suits on coupons, and that if the contract was not binding on them it should not be on the State. He argued that if the Bond Court decided the question in favor of the people, tbe Su? preme Court of tbe State or of the United States would decide it to be an unconstitu? tional court, und thus tbe question would return to the Legislature after all. He was in favor of settling the question perma? nently, so as to satisfy the people, and at the same time give security to the bona fide bondholders. When the hour for voting arrived, the roll was called, and the vote stood fifty-three for abolishing the Court, and fifty-seven against it. Mr. Murray then changed his vote to tiie major? ity, so as to move a reconsideration, bat the Bond Court men blocked this meve by moving to reconsider and to lay that mo? tion on the table, which was warmly sup? ported by Gen. McGowan, and the question was thus finally disposed of. Wc will pub? lish Dr. Brown's speech in full next week, as he has been too busy to furnish us a copy of it up to this time. Although we failed to abolish the Court, the discussion did a great deal of good by showing up the true character of the debt, which prevented the appropriation of any interest to meet the accruing interest on the doubt? ful debt of the State. It required very lit? tle effort to prevent this levy of interest; and as soon as the decision upon it was ' made, Mr. Murray offered us section 18 of the appropriation bill a proviso that enough of the money already in the treasury which was held to pay the interest on the doubt? ful debt, if it should be decided valid, shall be taken to pay the interest on the valid and honest debt of the State for next year. This was fought very hard by the Charles? ton delegation, and Messrs. Haskell, Blue, J. J. Homphilr and others, but was suppor? ted by Generals Kennedy, McGowan, R. R. Hemphill and Mr. Murray, and was adop? ted by a vote of 77 to 40. There was then a motion mud* to reconsider this vote, and the motion was laid on the table. The next night Mr. Buist moved to strike out the whole section, but his motion was laid on the table by a vote of 70 to 20. Gen. McGowan then moved to make the money applicable to the past due coupons of 187G and 1877. Mr. Murray opposed this, be? cause a law had already passed providing for funding these coupons in State bonds, and took the position that it would be bad policy to pay these coupons in money, when tbe owners ol them were willing to take bonds, and showed that it would raise the taxes to take this course, and therefore he moved to lay Gen. McGowan's motion on the table, which was agreed to by a vote of 75 to 13. Dr. Brown then called the pre? vious question, which was sustained and the bill passed and was sent to the Senate, where the section was sustained by a vote of 28 to 0. The consequence of this was to reduce the tax levy for next year to 23 mills for Suite purposes, and but for tbe decrease in the taxable property of the State, owing to the agreement of the Legis? lature to accept the County assessments for the present year, and have a new assess? ment made next year, the amount would have been still less. thz tax fob anderson county will be: forStatepurposes2J mills, forcom mon schools, 2 mills; and for C'ountv pur? poses, not exceeding 3 mills?so that the tax for next year cannot be more than 7i mills for all purposes, and will be less if the Coun? ty Commissioners can get on with a smaller sum than three mills. This tax is to be collected in two equal installments?one half in May and the other in October, with the privilege to the tax-payer of paying all in the last named mouth by paying a pen? alty of five per cent, on the first half. The cost of advertising delinquent land sales has also been reduced from one dollar to twenty five cents, and every consideration which is proper bus been extended to the citizen. An act has been passed requiring land owners upon the streams in Anderson County, once in each year, to clear out the logs and br?h which are washed down by freshets. This is a measure to assist drain? age and health, and if properly carried out will confer great benefits upon the owners of bottom lands without seriously incom? moding any one. The fence law has been passed for Abbeville, Laurens and Newbcr ry. The act authorizing divorces in South Carolina has been repealed, and it now stands as it did before the war. Cumula? tive voting has been abolished in the town of Anderson. The office of Master has been created in Anderson, Sunuer and other Counties, and a law passed to accelerate partition, which will in a considerable measure remedy the evils likely to result from the decision of the Supreme Court in reference to the jurisdiction of the Pro? bate Courts. The bill regulating Trial Justices in Anderson County has been changed by a bill introduced by Dr. Brown, so as to allow two at Anderson with a sala? ry of twenty dollars each, and ono in each township with a salary of fifteen dollars eaeh, for their State business, and the fees heretofore allowed in civil cases. Messrs. Pinson, Singleton and Newton have been confirmed by the Senate for Williamston, Brushy Creek and Garvin, and will hold their offices until the Spring of 1880. Ap? pointments will have to be made in the other townships, and the delegation has de? cided to refer the selection to the Demo? cratic voters by a primary election for the different positions. The Presidents of Democratic Clubs are requested to make arrangements immediately for holding these elections and publish them in the Intelli? gencer, so as to give full notice. An act has been passed which will, it is thought, in future prevent the tender of Bills of the Bank of the State or coupons for taxes, as it imposes very stringent regu? lations for the use of them, which will vir? tually amount to a prohibition, and thus a vexed question is likely to be settled.

Mills will inost probably fund them into bonds at fifty cents on the dollar. The effect of this* legislation has not, as was prophesied it would do, injured the credit of the State, for sinco this action has been taken the value of the ooita fide bonds of South Carolina has been raised three cents on the dollar, which shows that the capital? ists are beginning to understand that our ficoplc arc not rcpudiationists, but that they ntend to pay their honest debts and lop off the fraudulent ones. The Senate struck out the enacting words of the bill limiting the pay of members of the Legislature to thirty days, and so the law stands as it did before the session. Col. Mattison's proposed amendment to the Constitution, which pro? vides for elections of members of the Legis? lature once in four years and sessions once in two years, has been postponecd to next session," but from the present feeling of the members we think it is pretty certain to pass. The lien law has been" indefinitely extended, so that hereafter it will not bo necessary to pass a new law every year. The election for SUPERINTENDENT OF THE PENITENTIARY came off last Saturday, and Dr. T. J. Lips comb was elected. Ucn. R. H. Anderson, Maj. T. B. Lee and Mr. Thompson Earle were also nominated. The friends of Maj. Lee secured the signature of a majority oi the Legislature for his appointment to the position, and after that was discovered the friends of the other candidates combined, and secured the passage of a resolution to elect, and succeeded in bringing influences to bear sufficient to defeat hint. Of course having started out ahead, the friends of other candidates felt that he was the man they had to beat, and his original strength was the cause of bis final defeat. Dr. Lips comb is a good man, but we regret that Maj. Lee was not elected. It is due to him to say that he was not a candidate, and his friends down here are entirely responsible for mentioning bis name. THE BOND COURT DECISION has hecu rendered, and the majority, con? sisting of Judges Thompson and Aldrich, agree in declaring the fraudulent portion of the debt of the State void, while Judge Hudson holds that every consolidation bond is a valid debt resting upon a contract which the State cannot seek to set aside. The majority hold that the act creating the consolidation bonds was unconstitutionally passed, and that these bonds are no stronger obligation upon the State than the original bonds which were exchanged for them. The decision virtually sustains the bond commission's report, and if carried out will save the people about two million dollam. The decision was entirely ur.looked for, and the friends of the bondholders are very much put out with it, although they hope for better luck in the Supremo Court, whither they have appealed. The case will occupy two or three years in litigation, and in the mean time the people of the State will have a breathing spell, and be ulti? mately prepared to take care of the 8tate upon the debt question. The health of GOVERNOR HAMPTON is improving very slowly, and there are conflicting accounts about it, though we think the best authority is that he is im? proving. He says that he lias passed the crisis, and will get well, which is a very favorable indication. This will be our last letter from Colum? bia for this session. The legislative session is over, and lias been a short one in days, but long in the amount of work. It has, however, been a harmonious* and pleasant one. This is especially true of the Ander? son delegation, who have been very dili? gent, and have not disagreed upon a single important vote during the term. Wc aro all glad that the final adjournment will be had to-night, and that to-morrow we will once more be among our friends in Ander? son to enjoy the Christmas holidays. E. B. M.

The Consumptive's Paradise "Go to Colorado I It is a perfect Ar? cadia for Consumptives I Consumption cannot exist iu that climate. People who go there even in the last stages of the disease, after a residence of only a few months, come away perfectly restored. I tell you a dose of Colorado is the best remedy for consumption ever discovered." Such are some of the praises lavished upon Colorado as a resort for consump? tives, and only prove how egregiously ignorant these speakers and writers are of the real nature of tbe disease. If we were not personally acquainted with some of these praises and know them to be honest, well-meaning people, we should suspect that they had been "roped" into an advertising scheme, to augment tbe price and sale of Colorado lands, or were working in the interest of some Colorado hotel-keeper. Persons suffering from a mere infiamation of the lung tissue are doubtless often completely restored by a brief residence in Colorado or Florida. But wheu scrofulous matter has begun to accumulate in the lungs, no climate, however healthful, can alone effect a cure. A thorough course of medical treatment is required, aided by such hygienic measures as the condition of the patient will permit. The scrofulous matter must be absorbed and expelled from the sys? tem by the use of efficient alteratives. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is a powerful alterative, and, aided by the Pleasant Purgative Pellets, is an in? valuable agent for expelling scrofulous matter from the lungs and system. Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, at Buffalo, N. Y., offers special advantages to this class of patients. The best methods of medical and hygienic treatment, are there pursued, besides the locality is one of the few which enjoys special immuni? ty from this disease. Sweet Odors.?Almost every flower tint possesses a desirable odor is used in the Unique Perfumes made by Dr. Price. It is from these rich blossoms that Dr. Price's Perfumes obtain their sweetness and floral character. His Flo? ral Riches, Pet Rose, Hyacinth and Alis ta Bouquet are tbe fashionable odors.
