The preudre of business upon thc Legis lature lu?? week necessitated long morning mid night sessions, and the ufternoon? were crowded with business of various kinds, which prevented the preparation of our usunl weekly letter, nud therefore we will attempt in this lotter to give a brief fesumo of lite past two weeks legislation, which Will practically close tho work of the ses sion, as Wo will finally adjourn on Tuesday morning at four o'clock, and thus ret?an our homes on that evening in time for thc Christmas holidays, having completed thc work of the Legislature In just four weeks, which makes tins the shortest session that luis been held since tho war. When we left off our lust letter tho dis cussion of tito propriety of abolishing TUE DONO COU8T was Just begun, and appeared to be quito a boneless task. It was discussed from doy lo day for about three days-Messrs. Drown, Childs, Shaw. Cooke, Moody, R. R. Hemp hill, W. K. Bradley ami Murray advoca ting its abolition, and Messrs. Kennedy, Humbert, Johnstone, Searhoro, J.J. Hctup hlll, Shnud, Miles, Aldrich, Buist, Slmon tnti nt\.\ Haskel! opposing. Ti.? sp?ec-hcs were warm in interest, und some of them quite eloquent, while sumo were to u cer tain extent personal. Of this latter class was the speech of Mr. J. J. Hcmphill, who was put up to using certain articles from thc INTKLMOENCKB upon the coupon CABCS 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 thc udvocotes of bondholders in that city. Mr. Murray replied, showing that he had read only portions of tho articles, which, when taken as a whole, showed that his position was nt that time in fuvorof the Rond Commission's report, and opposed to the payment of tho fraudulent portion of thc debt, without committing himself to the Court. He also argued that the failure to get Kimnton's testimony occurred after the articles were written, autl that if ho had favored the Court bofore, that would have been enough to change his opinion. He said that the bondholders hod tried first to break up this Court by tho auits on couponu, and thut if tho on tract was not binding on theta it should not bo on tho Stato. Ho argued that if tuc Bund Court decided thc question in favor of the people, tho Su preme Court of thc Stato or of the United bluies would decide it to be au unconstitu tional court, und thus tho question would return to thc Legislature after all. He wau in favor of settling thu question perin u II emly, so as to satisfy the people, and at thc sume time give security to the bona fide bondholders. When tho hour for voting arrived, >.he roll was culled, and the vote stood titty-throe for abolishing the Court, and fifty-seven against it. Mr. Murray then changed his vote to the major ity, so as to move a reconsideration, out tue Bond Court mon blocked this move by moving to reconsider and to lay that mo ! tion on the table, which wus warmly sup ported by Cen. McUowan, and tho question wau thus finally disposed of. Wc will pub lish Dr. Brown's speech in full next week, as he has been oo busy lo furnish us a copy of it up to thia limo. Although we failed to abolish the Court, tho discussion did a great dcul of good by showing up the truo character ol'the. debt, which prevented the ArPHOI'KlATION OF AKY INTRHKST to meet the accruing interest on the doubt ful debt of the Stute. It required very lit tle effort to preveut this levy of interest; and as soon ns thc decision upon it was mude, Mr. Murray offered us section 18 of thc appropriation bill a proviso that enough of the money alreudy in the treasury which was held to pay thc interest on tbs doubt ful debt, if it should be decided valid, shall bc taken to pay the interest on tho valid und honest debt of the State for next year. This was fought very hard by tho Charles ton delegation, and Messrs. Haskell, Slue, J. J. Hcmphill und others, but wa1 suppor ted by G?n?rais Kennedy, McGowan, R. lt. ?cmphill and Mr. Murray, and was adop ted by a voto of 77 to 40. Thorc was then a motion mud* to reconsider this vote, fud thc motion wus luid on the table. The next night Mr. Buist moved to strikeout I the whole section, but his motion was laid ron the table by a vote of 70 to 2u. .un. I McGowan then moved to make tho ninney applicable to thc post due coupons of lftTi! uml 1877. Mr. Murray opposed this, be cause a lav/ 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 the owners ol them were willing to take bonds, and showed that it would raise the taxe, to take this course, und therefore ho moved to lay Oem McGowan's motion on the tablo, which was agreed U: by a vote of 75 to 13. Dr. Brown thou cawed tho pre vious question, which was sustained und thc bill pos-sed and v.-us sent to the Senate, where the section was sustained by a vota of 28 to 0. The consequence of this was to reduce thc tax levy for next year to 2| mills for ?tute purposes, and but for the decrease in tho taxable property of the State, owing to thc agreement of the Legis lature to accept the County assess men ts for tho present year, and havo a now usacsr ment made next year, thc amount wou'.? have been Mill less. THK TA ron ANDKUSON OOUICTY will be: for State purposes 2? mills, forcom mon schools, 2 mids; nnd for County pur poses, not exceeding 3 mills-so that tho tax for next year cannot be more than 71 mills for all purposes, ana 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 Muy and tho other in October, with thc privilege to the tax-payer of paying all in the last named month by paying a pen alty of five per cent, on the first half. The cost of advertising delinquent lund sales has also Leen reduced from one do! tar to twenty five cents, and every consid?ration which is projier has been cxtonrlrd tn ti.? ciilecn. An ucl has been passed requiring land owners upon tho streams in Anderson County once in each year, to clear out the logs und brush which are washed down by freshets. This is n measure to assist drain age and health, and if properly carried out will confer great benefits upon tho owners of bottom lands without seriously incom moding any one. The fence law has been passed tor Abbovillo. laurens und Newbcr-1 ry. The act authorizing divorces in South Carolina has bee repealed, and it now stands as it did before the wur. Cumula tive voting hos boan abolished in tho town of Andereos. Thc ?ulq? of Master has been created in Anderson, Sumter and other Counties, and a law passed to accelorate partition, which will in a considerable measure remedy thc evils likely to result from tbs decision of the Supreme Court in reference to the jurisdiction of tho Pro bate Courts. Tho 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 each, for their Stato business, and the fees heretofore allowed in civil cases. Messrs. Pinson, Singleton and Newton have been confirmed >y tho Senate for Willlamstoh, Brushy C.-cek and Garvin, and ~Ml hold their offices until tho Spring of 1880. Ap pointments will have to bo made in tho other townships and tho delegation has de cided to refer the selection to the Demo cratic voters by a raUt AST I.KCTION for the different positions.

Bills will most 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 thc credit of the State, for since thia action has been token the value of tho bona fide bonds of South Carolina has heen raised throe cents on the dollar, which shows that the capital ista ore begining to understand that out people oren) tepudlationist*, hut that they intend to pay their honest debts ond lop off the fraudulent ones. The Senate ?truck out tho cnontiug words of tim hill linililnjj the pay of members of the Legislature to thirty days, nnd so the law stanils as it did befora tho session. Col. Mattlson's proposed amendmentlo t,,e Constitution, which pro vides foi- elections of members of the Legis lature once in four years and sessions once in two vears, has been post po need 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 ho necessary to pass a now law every year. The election for SUFRRINTKNDRNT OP THE PENITENTIARY cante off last Saturday, and Dr. T. J. Lips comb was elected. Gen. R. H. Anderson, Maj. T. B. Lee and Mr. Thompson Earle were also nominated.. Tho friends of Maj. Lee secured thc signature cf a majority of the Legislature for his appointment to the position, Ond after that waa discovered the friends of the oilier candidates combined, and secured thc passage of a resolution to elect, and succeeded in bringing influence* to beor sufficient to defeat hint. Of courso having started out ahead, thc friends of other candidates felt that he was thc man they had to beat, and his original strength was the causo of his fluni defeat. Dr. Lips comb is a good mau, but wc regret that Maj. Lt o was not elected. It is due to him to say that ho was nota candidate, and hid friends down here are entirely responsible for mentioning his name. THIC BORD co in rr DECISION has been rendered, and tho majority, con sisting of Judges Thompson and Aldrich, agree in declaring the fraudulent portion of the debt of tho 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. Thc majority hold that the act creating the consolidation bonds was unconstitutionally passed, and that these bonds are no stronger obligation upon die State than thc original bonus which were exchanged for them. The decision virtually sustains the bond commission's report, and if carried out will rave th? people about two million dollars. The decision was entirely unlooked foi, and tho friends of the bondholders ara very much put out with it, although they hope for better luck in tho Supremo Conrt, whither they have appealed. The case will occupy two or three years lu litigation, and in the mean limo the people of thc State will have a breathing spell, and be ulti mately prepared to take care of the State upon the debt question. Thc health of aOVERNOR HAMPTON is improving very slowly, and there are conflicting accounts about it. though we think tho' best authority is that he Ls im proving. He says that he has passed thc crisis, and will get well, which is a very favorable indication. This will be our last letter from Colum bia fur this session. The legislative session is over, and has boen ti short onein'days, out long in thc amount of work. It has, however, been a harmonious* and pleasant one. This is especially true ot the Ander son delegation, who have been very dili gent, ana have not disagreed upon a single important vote during che term. Wo ore all glad 11 mt the final adjournment will bo had to-night, and that to-morrow wewlll once more bo among ou? Mends in Ander son to enjoy the Christmas holidays. _ _E. B. M.

I tell you a dose of Colorado is the best remedy for consumption ever discov?red." Such aro some of the praises lavished upon Colorado as a resort for consump tives, and only prove how egregiously ignorant these speaker? and writers are of the real nature of the disease: If we were not personally acquainted with Borne of tbaao praises and'know them to be. honest, well-meaning people, we should euspeot that they baa been "roped" into an advertising scheine! to augment tho price and sale of Colorado lands, or were working in the intcreat of some Colorado hotel-heeper. Persons suffering from a tnerf iriflainziicz of thc tung tissue aro doubtless often completely restored by & brief residence in Colorado or Florida. But when scrofulous matter has begun to accumulate ia the lungs, no climate, however healthful, can alon? effect a cure. A thorough course of medical treatment is required, aided by such hygienic measures os the condition of tho patient will permit. Tho scrofulous matter must be absorbed and expelled from tho sys tem by theiss ?f ??iueut alteratives. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is a powerful alterative, and, aid*d 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, bosnien the locality is ono of the few which enjoya special immuni ty from this disease.
