?HS WORK OW ?HB ?JSiSKW.
The Legislature which has just ad
journed has done many things which ii
ought not to have done, and has left p$*l
done macy others whleh it ought to haw.
attended ti, but, despite these ?hortcori
inga, it j>cs done a great desi for which
it ic entitled to commendation. To be :'n
with, it has kept the length of the sei ir. J
within one month, thereby setting an ox
ample which the r/eoplcV wise, will
insist shall always be followed in the
future. ? short session is the only ssfi
guard against extravagance and a multi*
pliclty of law?, ^ho Legislatur? costs
the State about twelve hundred dol?an
per day, sud it ls decided economy to
bave tho session reduced to the lowest
figure at which the business can be at
tended to. Wo have too much legisla*
tion, and nothing is BO fruitful of it a
long sessions. The real interests of tb
State will be promoted by only making
such changes in the law t* may be shown
to be net^ssary, and not geing into the
theoretical legislation which long sessions
are likely to.entail. With short sessions
once firmly established, the membere will
hereafter prepare such bills as are im*
portant be tore the meeting, and present
them promptly, whereby their considera
tion will be assured, and all the necessi
ties of the country, amply met. Tbs
Legislature bas taken this step in the
/ight direction.
Another good measure, for the passage
of which the Legislature deserves credit,
is tho "Act to provent tho intcrmsrrying
of races," which is necessary for the pu
?i ty of society and the proper protection
of both races. Nearly every State in the
Union, North, South and Weat, has euch
a law, and on? Legislature bas done well
in passing it. O?pt. Massey, of York, ls
entitled to tho credit of introducing the
measure in the House.

Considerable commotion has been cre
sted ia rome quarters by the discovery
that tbe Supply Bill w?\s incorrectly an
rolled, and so ratified and approved, con
taining tho Senate's amendments to tbe
House bill, which were as follows: First,
State tax, 4| mills, instead of ?ij mills;
second, no tax to pay back indebtedness
of Marion County, and third, $8,000 for
tho fourth Brigs le of Charleston. These
first and third amendments were, on mo
tion of Mr. Murray, not agreed to, and
the second wai, on motion of Mr. Moody,
not agreed to. In this shape a confer
ence Comrjittee on the part of the two
Houses was appointed, cousistiog of
Messrs. John B. Cleveland, T. C. Moody
and W. C. Brown on part of the House,
and two Senator*1, who agreed to recede
from the Senate amendments, and the
report of tuic committee was adopted by
both Houses, so that tbe amendments
?ere stricken out. The bill was then, itv the
Senate, ordered to be changed to an Act
and enrolled for ratification. This was
done, and the Committee on Enrolled Acts
reported't properly enrolled and ready for
ratifiai *v upon which the President of
the Senate and Speaker of the House, in
accordance with the rules, rat! Qed the
the Act. I*, was then presented to the
Governor and approved by bim, two days
after which it was discovered the Bill
had been ratified and approved in a dif*
fcro form from that in which it was
passed. This presents the question as to
whether the Act is valid or not, inas
much as it is not approved in the shape
in which it passed. Those who contend
for its validity claim that it is essenti
ally the Bill as passed, and that tho evi
dences of its genuine ?to being its ratifi
cation and approval are such as to give
it validity," although irregularities have
attended its enrollment, while those who
contend against it claim that it is no Act
st all, inasmuch as it did not paos the
Legislature in tho way that it was ratified
and approved. The question bas not
been discussed at very great length in
sny of the papers, except tho Register,
which desires an extra session of the
Legislature to correct thc error. This
will hardly be called, however, for the
cost of bringing the Legislature together
would amount ?* nearly as much as the
additional tax, and if tho session should
lott ten days or. two weeks it would
amount to considerably more than the
fl 'ditton*! tax. The law will, therefore,
g > upon tbe statute books and hp enforc
ed in its erroneous form,' for it is cheaper
to do this than to assemble the Legisla
ture to correct it.
?.THE AIKEN IDEA."
The position of Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken,
our immediate Representative in Con
gress, has been quite a surprise, and the
subject of very general discussion among
his constituents. Col. Aiken has never
bad much love for the Northorn Democ
racy, but wo bad supposed he recognized
the necessity for a close, solid and ag
gressive alliance between the Democ - \?
of tho whole country, in order to success*
fully combat tho cohorts of Republican*
hm, which is held together throughout
the entire Union by the cohesive power
of publio plunder, as it has been aptly
termed' Indeed, we presumed that he
was a firm and unyielding Democrat,
devoted to tho principles of the party,
sod are no little puzzled to know just
what bis petition in the matter Is. We
do not agree with him in thinking that
both political parties have outlived their
usefulness, for we hold that the Demo
cratic party represents truly the genius
of our Republican institutions, oed its
triumph will not bo a useless one, but
will maris thc return of our country to
tho nure and patriotic government of our
forefathers. We "say bave our preferences
as to men in this party; bul its men aro
insignificant campnrcd with tho principles
of tho party, and it ls this that makes tho
partr one that should .-iridium, and '

in view of these fiicts, wo think the let
ters Cf Col. Aiken untimely and unfortu
nate. They tend to weaken the Nations!
Democratic party aa for as they hate any
i influence, and to produce disaffection ai
home. While every aim should bo to
bring tho wholo Democracy into compact
line, Ure result of the expression of each
views as ihosc expressed by Col. Aiken 1?
tp discourage, if not to disintegrate, the
party. Even if his assumption that both
parties have outlived thuir usefulness is
correct, which wo dissect from, it does
riot help Col. Aiken, for it Is reduced to
a choice between these parties anyway.

The taxes for Anderson County during
the present year will be 9| mills, in
cluding everything. This ir. on the last
assessment, which Is considerably below
the aseaesament of the year before, and,
therefore, the amount raised by the tai
this year will probably be equivalent tc
what would have been raised by 9 mill?
last year. This tax is to be paid in twe
installments this year as it was last, witl
s penalty of five psr cent, on tho first
half if not paid.
The Senate committee, with Genera
Taft as chairman, appointed at the firs
session of the last Legislature to investi
gate tho investigating committee, o
which Senator Cochin was chairman
reported just before the adjournment o
the Legislature, completely endorsinj
the committee and approving of its work
It seems that there was a difference be
tween Taft and Mr. Cochran, which le?
tho former to desire to catch tho latter ii
some irregularity in thr work of the in
vestigating committee. In order to di
this he bad a committee appointed t
overlook the accounts end work of tba
committee. It seems that a larg
amount of the testimony was copied ii
tho bond-writing of-a member of Mi
Cochran's family, and Mr. Taft cap?ete
to show that large sums of money ba
been paid for this work, while the testi
mony and vouchers showed that it ha
been done gratuitous'/, and that th
State actually owed M- Cochran a bal
ance on the compensaron provided fe
tho committee. The report of tho com
roittee was adopted by the Senate, an
thus the investigating committee he
been vindicated and Mr. Taft Completel
foiled in bis expectation of involving Mi
Cochran.
In our editorial correspondence fror
.Columbia, under date o' December 23, w
did Spoakcr Shepna.d an injustice i
saying that he had violated every partit
mcntnry rule in appointing a committe
of conference on the Appropriation Bi
who were not in accord with the Hons
in refusing to agree to tho Senate am?ne
menta increasing the appropriations b
some thirty-five thousand dollars. Th
committee consisted of Messrs. Jobi
stone, Simonton and Aldrich, and whe
tho conference met .ho Honso committe
agreed substantially to every amendmer
made by tho Sonate. Whoa the repoi
came in, Mr. Sheppard stated that h
bad been informed that ho bad appointe
a conference committoo which was cot i
sympathy with the action of the HOUB<
upon which each member of tho comrai
tete ct it'id that he had voted against som
Ono or more of tho Senate amendment
which placed them all ia affinity wit
the action of tho House, and gave to th
Speaker the right to appoint them o
this committee without violating the r<
quiroment? cf parliamentary law. Th
selection of the committee was, howeve
generally considered by the advocates <
reducing the Appropriation Bill as ni
fortunate, and as equivalent to yieidit
the position of tbo House, as tho gentl
men on the committee had tbrcugboi
the whole session, with the occasion
exception of Mr. Aldrich, voted for tl
larger appropriations. The result we
therefore, fully predicted and expect?
as uoou as the committee was announce
It was an unfortunate selection for tho
who were Becking tu cut down the appi
priatione, but there was nothing in it
reflect either upon the Speaker or t
gentlemen appointed, aud we make tl
correction in justice to all of the part'
concerned.

INSOLENT AHV UNFOUNDED.
Tbs followk^ article from tho New
York Sun deserves unqualified comdem
nation, for lt~>s both insolent to the South
and without justification in the facts. If
the Sun is only as true to Democracy as
the South is t?tere will bo no complaint
as to its course. This paper, however,
seems to take pleasure in abusing the
South sod our people whenever opportu
nity affords, and bas done the Democrat
ic party and tho country as much harm
as sny psper I. *he country by its per
sistent abuso and misrepresentation. The
article given below is a fair sample of
the fabrications which emanate from its
columba:
Mr. D)n Cameron was made Chairman
of the Republican National Committee,
not only because be is bold, rich aaa
powerful, bat because he is personally on
thc best of terms with many of the South
ern leaders. This is remarkable, but it
is also true. He wines and dines them,
and transports them free to horse races
sod other entertainments.
Besides, Mr. Cameron is always read/,
as hie father was before bim, to grind a
little axe for sny of them in a strait ; to
get an appointnietv. ^.ade, a contract pro
tected, or a railroad pass provided.
Thoao who think these relations of no
importance may remember how he
shouldered into tho Republican Senato
Cen. Butler, of P nth Carolina, when all
tho organs were denouncing him as the
author of tho Hamburg massacre.
The conspirators of the third term look
forward to a period in their game when
they may need Southern support, and in
case it should be necessary to count
Grant io, and seat bim by force, they
want the Confederate long-swords on
their side. This is the meaning of the
Grant demoostration among the worst of
the late rebels.
With the existing Administration, with
the regular array under Sherman and
Sheridan, and tho flower of the Confed
erate brigadiers, tbs conspirators think
they would bo strong enough to defy the
people, North as well as South. The
Confederates traded with Hayes, and
why should they not trade with Grant?

r ' seeming chiefly to bc attracted, by oe?

on the evident amiable relations between

railroad stations in purding towards tbe j
inila. He expressed coubidsrable sur
prise at seeing so much equality in ex?
tstence. He said that all the indications
be had seen pointed to a reunited coun
try and the fading away of sectional feel
ings. He set mea to be coo vi need that
the Southern people are principally de
voting themselves to tho development of j
their own internal resources. At Colum
bia he remarked that he was the only
living ex-president, and the Judge re
marked thst he might not bear that title
Et year from now. tien. Grant said that
a year from now Mr. Haves would be
ititi President, and Judge Mackey said:
"Well, a year and a few months, may
be." Justice Willard remarked that
Judge Mackey was playing on the words
"ex and "next" President, and Grant
laid bo understood, aud seems to have
il?ut up immediately and permanently.
Girant pointed to a blackened chimney aa
be entered the city and said. "There's
me of Sherman's monuments." He
teems to have talked at some length re
garding the incidents of the war, speak
ing particularly of his interposition to
prevent the threatened arrest and prosecu
tion of all Confederate Generals, of .the
butnane treatment of Lee's army at Ap
pomattox, and in prevenliug the des
truction of private property by his array

Gen. Grant asked if the Democratic
party was not divided in this State, and
tho Judge says that be gave him very
emphatic assurances to the contrary.
He alco , developed an interest on the
subject of tissue balloU and said that
Hampton's denunciation of them was a
bold step and gratified him, and was a
virtual admission of th<dr use. It being
stated that the necessity for them existed
occasionally for the preservation of civil
isation ho remarked, rather jocularly,
that he hoped that the necessity wouldn't
irise too frequently.

larp still retreated, and fiually threw up
loth bands and said, "For God's sake,
Tim Chappell, don't crowd me; I don't
