?7?B. M?JttBAYt~Kdltor. THURSDAY M?ttNING, NOV. 2D, 18?0. THE MEETING OF THU USGISLATUIUB. Thc session of tho Legislature, which convenes on noxtTuosday, will bo a very important one, aa many tnattens of inter est to the S tato will be discussed. We hope the session will be a short, harmo nious and successful one, whioh w ill bene fit tho State and establish a rigid economy In every depa.tmcnt of tho government. Our people aro a poor people, and noth ing could give thom a greater degree of satisfaction and encouragement than for our Slate government to be run upon such principios of economy aa to be in keeping with tho necessities of the time. Certain reductions ought to bo in ado In ' tho publio expenses by abolishing or consolidating offices which aro superflu ous, and curtailing the expenses of all others, where lt can bo dobo consistently with the publie interests. We do not think the State should be penurious m dealing with ita publio servants, but we do think all salaries should ho propor tioned to the valuo of the work to be dono. Tho Stato should pay as much as a private indlvldunl for tho work neces sary, for it, but it should not pay any inoro. Under Republicanism an idea was engrafted Into our publio policy that every man who served tho Stato was en titled to receive a princely support fer himself and family. This idea bas not been wheily eradicated yet, though con siderable reductions have beon made. It m \y bo termed plcayunish, or anything else, but it ls our firm conviction that ^expenses of tho State can, and ought to, be brought down to correspond with tho expenses of tho government beforo tho war. Tho expenses of living now aro no more than they wore then, and wo do not porccive that onr publio officers aro any abler or purer than tho mon who served us then. It ia, therefore, imposslblo for us to perceive any reason why our pres ent system should not bo mudo to corres pond to tho expenses boforo tho war in South Carolina, in all cases whero the amount of work baa 11010000 materially Increased. The Stato should go on in tho work of retrenching, whorovor it cnn bo dono without injury to tbo State, by shutting oft" Incompetent service. We may havo occasion to particularizo somo of the places where reductions can and should bo mndo, as tho session progress es. _? _. TUE HOMSffraAD LAW. Tho Abbovillo Prut & Banner says: Our neighbor tho AHPBRBON INTELM OENCER boa greatly excited tbo fears of tho poor dobtor of Andorson County lu reference to tho Constitutional exemp tion guaranteed to them by tho Constitu tion of tho Stato, and tho rich creditor has laid.tho flattorlng- unction to hiB soul that tho year of jubileo has come. The Walhalla Cmrier, tho Pieken? Sentinel, tho Newberry Herald, If wo remember rightly, bayo each had labored articles on' this Hubjc-ct, leaning to tho iNTKz.r.tciBNCBn'a mistaken version of tho matter, in sym pathy for tho poor dobtor, mid discussing tho effect of an alleged dooroo of tho Court. Sheriff Du Pro received instruc tions the other day to proceed in certain oases as if thono who hod no land were not entitled to tho homestead exemption in personalty, with tho intimation that thoCourihn&sodccldod, as tho newspapers hodolloged. , Our Sheriff wrototboCIork of the Supremo Court for a cor tiflod copy of the doohuon, and from tho following let* ter it will bo econ that no such decision has boon rendered : COLUMBIA, Nov. 8 1879. J. P. C. DuPns. Sheriff- Dear Sir: Tho Court bave rondorod no such decis ion an yon refer to. In tho caso of Dun can va. Barrett, tho Court decided that tho Legislature had no right to extend the exemption so as. to ombraee articles not speciued in tho Constitution. In tho subsequent coso of Gponoor ve. Harman, the Court re-affirmed this. In that ease, cotton, corn and bacon made, by a man on rented premi?os, wero claimed, but not allowed, under tho decision in Dun can vs. Barrett. Yours, truly, ' AMER* M. BOOZER, Clerk., Thia way of bridging the matter aver sounds very wol), but when the decisions aro read it will bo soon' thai ihoir legiti mate construction necessitates tho con clusion we hayo.roached, ' It ls trueno caso involving tho sale of a horeo or of household proporty has boon boforo the Supremo Court, but tho principle in volved hoc becu discussed hy tho Su premo Court In tho cases decided. It is a most unfortunate n'"ve think, a most unreasonable dov *\ which the Legislature at ita approaching session onght to remedy as soon and as effect nally ns possible. SHAM DKMOCMACY. Tho card of Uv. W. J. Gayer, tho indo pendent candidate for Mayor of Charl ea ton, is published on another pago as an example of tko consummate presump tion ' and reckless - effort at deception . which . is usually oharactes-idt?? o? thc { mon who proler their own promotion to their country's welfare. M r. G ayer pro fesses to bo a true Democrat, but for Us?t matter professions do not prove any (Mci*.. Tho devil haz often professed holiness. : SoWer or, to establish his loy alty, ho quotes Gov.

Of in? cor reetnesA of the statement wo know noth ing, but if it turns out to be vrell founded it will not bo Hkely to benefit bis favor ite. Tho peopte of South Carolina have got tho idea iamb tray or other that th ny bav? tee right to aelcei tho Governor; ano) they aro just headstrong enough to do' it.

A largo number of citizens from different ports of tho State attended, the hotels, and boarding, houses wore crammed, and tho Fair financially a success. Tho exhibitors from Anderson woro remarkably suc cessful, as will appear from tho lint of premiums awarded them, published in another column.
