E. B. MURRAY, Editor. THURSDAY MORNING, NOV. 20, 18TP. THE MEETTNG OF THE IXGISLATTJRK. The session of the Legislature, which corvenes on next Tuesday, will be a very important one, as many matters of inter? est to the State will be discussed. We hope the session will be a short, harmo? nious and successful one, which will bene? fit the State and establish a rigid economy In every department of the government. Our people are a poor people, and noth? ing could give them a greater degree of satisfaction and encouragement than for onr State government to be run upon such principles of economy as to be in keeping with the necessities of the time. Certain reductions ought to be made in I the public expenses by abolishing or consolidating offices which ore supernu-1 ous, and curtailing the expenses of all j others, where it can be done consistently j with the public interests. We do not j think the State should be penurious in j dealing with its public servants, but we I do think all salaries should he propor? tioned to the value of the work to be I done. The State should pay as much as [ a private individual for the work neces? sary for It, but it should not pay any I more. Under Republicanism an idea was engrafted into our public policy that every man who served the State was en? titled to receive a princely support for himself and family. This idea has not been wholly eradicated yet, though con- J siderable reductions have been made. It I may be termed picayunish, or anything else, but it is our firm conviction that I 'expenses of the State can, and ought to, I be brought down to correspond with the I expenses or the government before the I war. The expenses of living now are no more than they were then, and we do not j perceive that our public officers are any abler or purer than the men who served I us then. It is, therefore, impossible for I us to perceive any reason why our pros- I ent system should not be made to corres- I pond to the expenses before the war in South Carolina, in all cases where the amount of work has not been materially increased. The State should go on in i the work of retrenching, wherever it can be done without injury to the State, by shutting off incompetent service. We I may have occasion to particularize some of the places where reductions can and should be made, as the session progress cs._ THE HOMESTEAD LAW. The Abbeville Press & Banner says: Our neighbor the Anderson Intelli- I oencek has greatly excited the fears of the poor debtor of Anderson County in I reference to the Constitutional exemp-1 tion guaranteed to them by the Constitu-1 tion of the State, and the rich creditor has laid.the flattering unction to his soul that the year of jubilee has come. The Walhalla Courier, the Pickens Sentinel, the j Newberry Herald, if we remember rightly, j have each bad labored articles on' this subject, leaning to the Intelligencer.'s I mistaken version of the matter, in sym pa thy for the poor debtor, and discussing the effect of an alleged decree of the Court. Sheriff DuPre received instruc- j tions the other day to proceed in certain | cases as if those who had no land were j not entitled to the homestead exemption in personalty, with the intimation that tho Court had so decided, as tho newspapers had alleged. . Our Sheriff wrote the Clerk of the Supremo Court for a certified copy of the decision, and from the following let- I ter it will be seen that no such decision has been rendered: COLTJiTBIA, Nov. 8 1879. J. P. C. DtjPre, Sheriff?Dear Sir: The Court have rendered no such decis-1 ion as you refer to. In the case of Dun can vs. Barrett, the Court decided that tho Legislature had no right to extend tho exemption so as to embrace articles not speciued in the Constitution. In the subsequent caso of Spencer vs. Harman, I the Court re-affirmed this. In that case, cotton, corn and bacon made by a man I on rented premiees, were claimed, but not allowed, under the decision in Dun can vs. Barrett. \ Youra truly, Albert M. Boozer, Clerk. This way of bridging the matter over J sounds very well, but when the decisions I are read it will be seen that their legiti-1 mate construction necessitates the con elusion we have reached. It is true no caso involving the sale of a horse or of j household property has been before the j Supreme Court, but the principle in? volved has been discussed by the Su-1 preme Court in the cases decided. It is a most unfortunate and, we think, a I most unreasonable decision, which the [ Legislature at its approaching session ought to remedy as soon and as effect- j ually as possible. SHAM DEMOCRACY. The card of Mr. W. J. Gayer, the indo- J pendent candidate for Mayor of Charles ton, is published on another page as an I example of the consummate presump tion and reckless effort at deception which is usually characteristic of the men who prefer their own promotion to their country's welfare. Mr. Gayer pro-1 fosses to be a true Democrat, but for that matter professions do not prove any? thing. The devil has often professed holiness. However, to establish his loy? alty, he quotes Gov. Hampton as author? ity for his course, forgetting, we pre? sume, that Satan himself has often tried to sustain his course by quoting Scrip? ture itself. The trouble with Mr. Gayer is, that he talks Democracy but acts Re? publicanism. He, and men of bis stamp in South Carolina, are to Democracy what the Prince of Darkness is to reli-1 gion. They are both trying by artful I devices and well matured circumven? tions to overthrow that which they know it would be useless openly to attack. This is the old ruse, and Mr. Gayer has played it so bunglingly that be has not even given it variation enough to make it interesting, for he is thoroughly un? derstood to be a simon-pure Republican donkey, who is *trying to terrify the country by wearing a Democratic lion skin. His braying has already marked his identity, and all who vote for him will do so with a full knowledge that they are voting to elect the Republican candidate. It is generally circulated that Gov. Hampton is actively engaged in promot? ing the interests of one of the gubernato? rial candidates in this State. Of the cor? rectness of the statement we know noth? ing, but if it turns out to be well founded it will not be likely to benefit his favor? ite. The people of South Carolina h3ve got the idea some way or othor that they have the right to select tho Governor, and they are Just headstrong enough to do it. They will not submit to dictation in this respect, even from our greatly admired Senator, who would be fully qualified to appoint an executive officer, if the Con? stitution only allowed it. The Democrats of South Carolina aro not willing to be blindly load by a combination or by an indivdual. They submitted to some? thing of the kind in the last election, but they will not do so again. Every man who runs this time ought to be closely scrutinized to ascertain if he possesses the requisites necessary for the office he seeks, and the very best man who offers should be taken, whether he is the favor? ite of some distinguished statesman or not. It is the people who are to be serv? ed, and it is the people who have the right to select their servants. TBE STATE FAIR? The late State Fair held in Columbia was a decided success, The exhibition Itt the various departments Were not only good, but In many respects, superior to those of former years. A large number of citizens from different parts of the State attended, the hotels, and boarding houses were crammed, and the Fair financially a BUccess. Tho exhibitors from Anderson woro remarkably suc? cessful, as will appear from the list of premiums awarded them, published in another column. Tho State and County Fairs, if efficiently directed and properly patronized by the people, will greatly promote the development of the indus? trial enterprises of the State, and add to the material prosperity of ail classes. A POLITICAL MANIAC His Respects to Grant, but Heath to the Union. Chicago, November 13.?Tho Daily Hews having invited the Governors of the States and prominent Southen men to send congratulations on Grant's return, received a number of such congratula? tions, including one from Hon. Alexan? der H. Stephens, from General Long street, and the following from Hon. Rob? ert Toombs: Atlanta, Ga.?M. E. Stone, Editor: Your telegram received. I decline to answer, except to say present my per? sonal congratulations to Gen. Grant on his safo arrival to his country. He fought for his country honorably and won; I fought for mine and lost. 1 am ready to try it over again. Death to tbe Union. (Signed) R. Toombs. The General Pronounces it About Correct. A reporter of the Constitution called on General Toombs, and after reading this dispatch to him asked if it were genuine. The General read it and then gently re? marked that it was about correct. "It certainly represents my views," he said. "I did not intend to answer, the editor's dispatch in full. I merely de? sired him to congratulate General Grant on his safe return. I then went on to say that I was ready to fight again for my cause? that of establishing the rights of the States to secede. Why shonldn'tl say it? I feel it?I mean it?it is in heart and why should I deny it? Why should I crawl about and bogm to tell lies in my old age ? I don't like the Union and they know it, and I have nothing to hide. The polioy of suppressing sentiment is all pretentious. Seymour got a bigger vote in New York in '68 than we have ever got since, and we've been choking the North with butter ever since. The Un? ion cannot last. Honest government is impossible under the 14th and 15th amendments. The Radicals injected 500,000 snags into the belly of the Consti? tution and they did it for the purpose of breaking down our institutions. They will succeed I hope and believe. Yes sir, I telegraphed the Chicago man my hon? est views. I speak for no one but my? self, and I don't care to tell a d?d lie about it!" The Other Letters to Grant. Washington, D. C. November 11.? Your telegram of November 8, to me at Atlanta, Ga., has just been received here. In reply I can only say if I could be in Chicago on the "occasion of General Grant's reception there, referred to in your telegram, I would certainly pay my respects to him in person, and "vince my kind regards by tendering him, with thousands of others, irrespective of par? ty, a hearty congratulation on his safe return from his extensive travels, and for tbe high honors he received wherever he went on bis tour around tbe world. His generous, magnanimous and patiiotic sentiments, expressed to the ex-Confed? erates at San Francisco, met a warm res? ponse from the breast of millions in this country without regard to sections or those political differeces of opinion which led to the late lamentable conflict in arms. That no such differences may ev? er rise again should be the earnest desire of every patriot Alexander H. Stephens. Gainesville, Ga., November 11.?I beg leave to congratulate you and the good people of Chicago upon tho return of General Grant to your city. Atten? tions received during his tour around the world were just tributes to tbe great American soldier?statesman, and should be remembered with pride, and all should express appreciation to the great man safely returned to his native land. We have many excellent men who most naturally ana properly aspire to the highest office of the people, but it seems deeply set in their hearts to ennoble the Nation by again honoring Grant. Most respectfully. James Longstkeet. Columbia, S. Cm November 11.? Thanks for your politeness, but I must decline the invitation. Wade Hamptok. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS, Gleanings from oar State Exchanges. Clarendon Press: Several of our far? mers have been recently threshing out their rice. The crop is light, owing to the continuous long dry spell embracing the blooming and fruiting periods.Our colored erratic barber and Baptist preacher, G. T. Tucker, who decamped from Manning upon hearing of the arrest of the late burglars, cut his throat upon receiving intelligence of their conviction and sentence. His reputation was not good here. Darlington Southerner: Only four of the members who were connnected with the Presbyterian Church at tbe installation of the Rev. William Brearley, which oc? curred nearly forty years ago, witnessed the installation of his successor on last Sat? urday.The Macedonia Baptist Church (colored) of this place has, since the 1st of September, through its pastor, Rev.

Hoyt, con? taining about fifty bushels of corn, a quantity of fodder and pea vines, belong? ing to a colored man named Simpson Pope, was discovered to be on fire, and budding and contents were entirely con? sumed. A horse belonging to the same party was also burned to death. Kershaw Gazette: Mr. John Jackson, in the "Lost Territory," lost his corn crib by fire, last week. Camden Journal: Capt. John Burdell has declined to accept his re-appointment as county commissioner, and last week Governor Simpson wrote to Gen.

Authur, who declined, and since that the office has been on a search to find some suitable person to fill it. Lancaster Ledger: Cotton receipts are falling off. We quote good middlings at 10 cents.

Yorkville Enquirer: Mr. John Nelson a worthy citizen, aged about 76 years who resided near Rock Hill, camo to his death by accident late Saturday evening last. He was returning to his homo from Rock Hill, and when about one mile from town, as is supposed from circumstances, be fell from bis wagon, the wheels of which passed over his nock, breaking it instantly.

Tho deceas? ed was buried at Roek Hill with Mason? ic honors, A singular coincidence in the death of Mr. Nelson is that the former husband of his deceased wife?a Mr. Workman?was killed by his team run? ning away with him within a fow feet of tho spot where Mr. Nelson met his death. Union Times: On Friday last, as Mr. William Smith, overseer on Mr. S. W. Porter's farm, near Jonesville, was cross? ing the railroad, sitting on a load of seed cotton, the jolting of the wagon as the wheels struck the iron rails threw him off, his head striking upon the rails, in? flicting a serious wound, and painfully bruising bis back ?rid fltc'f?.

Origin of fire incendiary. Killing op a Colored Boy by a Drunken Rowdy. ? Dispatch to the News and Courier from Spartanburg No? vember 16: "At 10 o'clock lost night Pet Hawkins, a colored boy aged about tweu ty-Ohe years, was shot in the left breast by some uhkown party and almost in? stantly killed. Mr. J. J. Eckman, in front of whose store the shooting took place, says that he heard somebody Bay, with an oath, "Take your band out of my collar I" but before he could get to the door he heard a pistol shot and saw a man run. Two negro men say they saw the man who fired the pistol,"but can only identify him as a strange white man with a cap on. At the coroner's inquest over the re? mains of Pet Hawkins, the evidence wont to show that Thomas White, of Cowpens, this county, did the shooting. Ho was arrested at 2 o'clock this morning. To? day tho coroner continued the case, gathering additional evidence. The jury's verdict was to the ofTect that Pet Hawkins came to his death by the hands of White, who was committed to jail to await his trial at the next term of court. White, testifying in his own behalf, says he was drunk at the time, and knows nothing of the affair or what he was do? ing at the time. The only mystery now Is the motive?the jury finding no mo? tive which would evon justify a quarrel. Fatal Burnings.?Lost week the neighborhood of Meadow Woods, in Bogansvillo Township, had two fatal acci? dents from burning. On Monday two colored children were left in the house while their mother went to the spring to wash. The oldest went into the yard to play, but in a short time the youngest came screaming to the door, its clothes in flames. Both children ran to the spring, but before relief came the child was so badly burned that it died in a fow hours. On Wednesday following, on Mr. B. Fincher's farm, a colored woman with an infant child about three days old, were burnt to doath by the roof of the cabin catching fire from the chimney. After the fire no traces of tho child could be found, and only the skull, a portion of the spinal column and a part of tho heart of the woman wore taken from tho ruins. ?Union Times. ? From the Charleston Democrat, tho organ of Mayor Sale, we learn that Gen. Gary is a warm friend of Hon. W. W. Sale, and earnestly desires his re-election. Also, that a morning paper will soon be started in Charleston to advocate the nomination of Tilden for President and General Gary for Governor. ? The Aiken Journal and Beview learns with satisfaction that the proposed rail? road from Edgefield Court House to Trenton, a station on the Charlotte, Co? lumbia and Augusta Railroad, is fast ap? proaching completion, and urges upon the people of Aiken the importance of also completing at once the proposed con? nection of this road with Aiken. This connection, it says, has already been sur? veyed at a considerable expense, and a special committee whs appointed some time ago to procure all necessary infor? mation. ? The Memphis Appeal declares that in two years that city has lost nearly eight millions of dollars and buriod six thou? sand of her people. Filthy gutters, bad drainage aud accumulated garbage, it claims, were the cause of it all. The Ap? peal now pleads for such method of puri? fication by fire, drainage, fumigation, street paving and the most vigorous en? forcement ot the well-ascertained laws of health as shall insure the city against a recurrence of the epidemic. Otherwise Memphis is threatened with decay, if not extinction. ? It having been asserted that General Hancock, who had charge of Mrs. Surratt before her execution, treated hor with severity and refused to allow a clergy? man of her church to see her in order to grant her absolution, the priest who at? tended her. Rev. J. A. Walter, of St. Patrick's Church, Washington, has made the following statement: Truth and jus? tice compel me to deny the statement with reference to Gen. Hancock's partici? pation in the execution of Mrs. Surratt. I attended Mrs. Surratt on that occasion, and met with no interference on the part Gen. Hancock. Gen. Hancock had great of sympathy for this unfoitunate lady, and waited until the last moment, hoping for a reprieve, I consider it an act of justice to Gen. Hancock that this statement should be mode."
