The Senate has by a vote of 19 to 10 passed the bill repealing the Prohibition Act for Oconee County. There is, how? ever, very little doubt that the House will defeat the bill, and leave our prohi? bition friends in Oconee on top again. The correspondents of the New? and Cbiirier never let an opportunity pass without making some uncalled-for fling at the temperance people. This may amuse tbe reporters, bnt we are glad to see that it does not hurt the advocates of tempe? rance._ Governor Hampton was unanimously re-elected to the United States Senate; :'?> by the* Democrats in the Legislature. This is a compliment which Soc th Caro? lina is always ready to confer as long as che is represented in the Senate by such men as Hampton and Butler. Some of oar exchanges were congrat? ulating the people on the fact that .the - present Legislature bad no talking mem? bers in it. They were a little premature, as the precent House has developed quite a number of able and ready debaters, who do not hesitate to express themselve8 when they see proper. The State is to be congratulated on this fact/for discussion is necessary to the proper determination of a great many important questions. When we asserted last Sommer that the South Carolina University had come to stay, some of our friends were dis ' posed to be offended with the statement. ? The vote, in the House last Monday in ;which the friends of the University polled 76 votes while the opponents only got 29, ought to convince all tbat farther opposition to the University can only make an opportunity for the airing of a little surplus rhetoric. It cannot ac? complish any other object. The Univer? sity i* here to stay. The Senate by a vote of 17 to 15, de? feated the bill to repeal' tbe Lien Law.. Senator Moore voted against the motion to strike out the enacting clause of the, bill. While we did not concur in the particular features of this bill with some i amendment?, we think it ought to have been passed.. We do not favor the repeal of tbe landlords, lien for rent, and think i it would be better to pass the bill to take effect twelve months after date, but we axe satisfied that the country would be more prosperous if the lien for supplies were abolished. Some time ago the Intelligences predicted tbat it would . be a waste of valuable time to attack the South Caro? lina University and tbe Citadel. ? The greater part of the day Of Monday waa spent in fighting the appropriation in the House, but jYpassed by a vote of 76 in favor to 29 opposed. This was proba? bly a waste of over five hundred dollars to accomplish no good, and ye' this same foolishness is to be gone over within the Senate. The obstructionists will learn from experience, if in no other way, that Sooth Carolina does not intend to go backwards in the cause of .education, while every other State in the Union is moving forward. Tbe House has passed a bill to amend the charter of the city of Anderson, which was introduced by Col. Eueker. It was introduced for the purpose of permitting the collection of a sufficient tax to meet the interest and installments to become due on the subscription to tbe Savannah Valley Railroad, but instead of amending the Act authorizing tbe collection of taxes to meet these bonds, they have simply removed all limit upon the taxing, power of the City Council. . The present charter limits the tax to thirty cents on the hundred dollars for city purposes, and in our judgment this limitation should be restored. We be? lieve nine out of ten of our business men j concur in this opinion. The amended bill was introduced and passed the House without tbe City Council ever being con? sulted or even seeing its provisions, and without any petition, as far as we can learn, from the citizens of Anderson. The point was doubtless not called to the attention of tbe author or the Rep? resentatives, or it would have been cor? rected. We trust this provision will be restored by the Senate. By this means a proper limitation will be put on the city government, without in any way damag? ing the railroad interests. In fact the credit of the city will be better with this limitation than without it. . The Legislature has had a very inter? esting contest over tbe bill to repeal tbe law exempting manufactories from taxa? tion. In the Senate tbe bill was defeated by a vote of 18 to 17, while in the House it was passed by a vote of about two to I one. We have not seen tbe vote of the ! members from this County in detail, except tbat Maj. Moore voted for the repeal in the Senate, and Mr. Scudday spoke in favor of the repeal in the House. We are gl ad their views did not prevail, for experience has shown tbat the law tends to develop manufacturing in our midst, and manufacturing brings pros? perity. The exemption only extends for ten years. In tbe meantime, the State gets the taxes upon the increased valua? tion of all classes of property around the factories, and at the end of ten years gets the taxes upon tbe factories them? selves for all time to come. It tends to increase the wealth of tbe State by bringing not only money here, but popu? lation also; and it affords profitable em? ployment to women and children, who are in considerable degree a non-produc? ing population. It builds up towns, and creates a demand for all kinds of agri? cultural products, which greatly benefits the farmers around the factories ; and by bringing the mills within reach of the cotton-fields, affords a home market for cotton, which tends to keep up the price. It is the best law the Republicans ever passed, and we are glad to see our State Senate conservative enough to retain it. ? A "professional beggar," recently arrested in New York, is found to have lived "luxuriously in an elegantly fur? nished honia," j THE RAILROAD LAW. . The News and Courier eodorees tho views we expressed lost week about the Railroad Law, and concludes its article with tbe following strong and forcible presentation of the needs of our State: What is wanted in this and in every other State, as the Savannah News forci? bly says, is capital. Immigrants are also wanted. The South has an abund? ance of the elements of-wealth excepting workers and money. It is a short-sighted policy, therefore, to tax foreign capital so as to drive it away, or keep it from us; and it prevents or cramps progress and development to make foreign capital bear unnecessary burdens. Tbe true policy is to encourage the investment of capital and the promotion of public en? terprises by the enactment of liberal laws. South Carolina, as a rule, has been liberal enongb, but there is no lib? erality, or justice, in subjecting railroad companies to regulations which would not be tolerated, or expected to be borne, by capitalists engaged in any other class of business. Tbe Legislature, we are aware, has but little time before it, if tbe determi? nation is to adjourn on the day before Christmas. This, however, should not be permitted to stand in the way of such amendments to the Railroad law as are demanded by tbe highest interests of the people of the State. South Carolina should pay the salaries and expenses of tbe Railroad Commission, and substitute tbe Massachusetts law for the entangle? ments, obstructions aud ambiguities of the present system. It is tbe duty of tbe Legislature to determine amendments to the Railroad Law upon their merits, and not lay them aside simply to avoid extending tbe sess? ion for a few days. It should be thor? oughly discussed and fully examined before action, and if necessary a recess until after Christmas should be taken. Too many interests of the State are in? volved to be thus summarily disposed of. ???? THE THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY. Removal of Professor Woodrow on Hla Refusal to Resign?Resignation of Pro? fessors Bosga and Hemphill?The Re salt of Teaching Evolution "As Probably True." $13?; - _ The Board of Directors of the Theo? logical Seminary ..met on Wednesday morning! twelve of the thirteen members being present, of whom five were new members. The President stated that tbe purpose of tbejmeeting was to settle tbe position of the Seminary in reference to evolu? tion. The first blow delivered in tbe contest came from the disciples of Dr. Woodrow. who opposed the sealing of Rev. Dr. Adams, who had been elected by the Synod of Georgia in place of Dr. Clisby, the latter having been displaced by the Georgia Synod, beef .use he refused to obey .the instructions of the Synod to stop the teaching of evolution in the Seminary. Dr. Adams, however, was seated by an overwhelming vote. Agaiust.this action a protest was entered by- three of the Board. " The next blow came from the disciples of orthodoxy, who introduced the fol? lowing paper: Whereas the Synods of Georgia, Ala? bama and South Georgia and Florida have disapproved of the views of Prof. Dr. James Woodrow on tbe subject of evolution, as contained in the address submitted by him to the Board of Di? rectors in response to their request for him to give fully his views as taught in this institution, and have also instructed the Directors to take steps to prevent tbe teaching of such views in their Semina? ry ; ana whereas the Synod of South Carolina haB disapproved of the teach? ing of evolution except in a purely ex? pository manner, without intention of inculcating its truth; and whereas Prof. Woodrow nas publicly announced that if he continues to be their professor, he will hereafter teach as probably true tbe hypothesis of evolution ; and whereas he is thus disqualified from remaining as a professor in theirJSeminary, and thereby rendered incompetent to discharge du? ties in wbich'he speaks in the name and by the authority of these Synods; there? fore, be it Itesolved, That this Board, in obedi? ence to the above instructions, appoint a committee, consisting of Messrs. Stacy, Webb and Sibley, to wait on.Dr. Wood row and ask for his resignation. This paper was adopted by tbe follow? ing vote: Ayes?Messrs. J. B. Maok, James Stacy, G. W. Scott, D. E. Frierson, F. B. Webb, H. L. McKee, W. C. Sibley and William Adams. Noea?Messrs. T. H. Law, James Hemphill, T. B. Froaer and W. J. McKay. The Board took a recess to await the reply of Dr. Woodrow. in the afternoon the following commu? nication was received from Dr. Wood row : f'7b the Board of Directors, etc. Gentlemen: I have received by tbe bands of your committee the preamble and resolution adopted by you, in which you ask for my resignation as Professor in the Theological Seminary. "I have no desire to continue to teach in the name and by tbe authority of the Synods which control the Seminary, since they have expressed disapprobation of my views, but yet I am constrained respectfully to decline to offer my resig? nation, for tbe reason tlu.t I would there? by acquiesce in and so to some extent recognize tbe justice and rightfulness of the action of tbe Synods on which you base your request, and -vInch I regard as illegal in form and incorrect in fact. "The resolutions adopted by three of the Synods to which you refer condemn, with greater or less clearness, my teach? ings as unscriptural and contrary to our standards; and this condemnation has been expressed without judicial investi? gation, by which alone such matters can be authoritatively determined. "I bold, on the other band, that my teachings, so far as tbey are expositions of the Sacred Scriptures, accord perfect? ly in every particular with the teachings of tbe 'Confession of Faith and Cate? chisms/ and, so far as tbey relate to natural science, do not on any point contradict the Sacred Scriptures as inter? preted iu our Standards. "In view of these facts, J respectfully ask that you proceed to determine the questions as to my alleged incompetence and unfaithfulness in teaching what is contrary to tbe Sacred Scriptures, as in? terpreted in our Standards, by a full trial, as is provided in tbe Constitution of the Seminary, Section 2, Article II. Yours, very respect lull, "James Woodrow, "Perkins Professor of Natural Science in Connection with Revelation." A resolution was then introduced look j ing to the removal of Dr. Woodrow, in order to prevent his teachings and thus obey tbe instructions of tbe Synods which control the Seminary. Before discussing the resolution, the following action was taken: That Dr. Woodrow be invited to appear before tbe Board, at 7.30 p. m., to show cause why tbe pending resolution may not be adop? ted. A committee, consisting of Messrs. Adams aod Law, were appointed to communicate tbe invitation to Dr. Woodrow, The Board tben took a recess until 7.30 p. m., at which hour they reassem? bled, when Messrs. Adams and Law made tbe following report: "The committee appointed to wait on Dr. Woodrow and put into his hands the resolution requesting him to appear and shew cause why tbe resolution proposing to remove him from his professorship should not be adopted, beg leave1 to re port that Dr. Woodrow replies that he does not desire to comply with the invi? tation of the Directors." After the reading of tbe above report the resolution proposing to remove Dr. Woodrow from nis professorship was taken up, amended and adopted, as fol? lows: "Inasmuch as the Rev. Dr. James Woodrow, Perkins Professor, has de? clined to appear before the Board of Directors to show cause why he should not be removed from bis professorship ; and inasmuch as he has already bad a full hearing in person before three of the Synods and through bis friends and ad? vocates before tbe fourth Synod; and inasmuch as these Synods have already condemned bis views and teachings on the subject of evolution ; and inasmuch as, in bis reply to the committee appoint? ed to wait upon him, Dr. Woodrow de? clares bis unwillingness to tender bis resignation; therefore, Resolved, 1. That he be, and hereby if, removed from bis professorship, accord? ing to tbe authority given this Board. [See Constitution, Sec. 2, Articles 11 and 13.] 2. That the Secretary be directed to officially notify Dr. Woodrow of this action. The following resolution was also adopted: Resolved, Tbat in taking this action t..j Board desires it to be distinctly un? derstood tbat in its iuterpetration of the instructions received from the Synods it does not understand tbat any undue restrictions shall be placed upon any professor of our Seminary, or limita? tion put upon the discussion of any legitimate doctrine or hypothesis; nor does this Board itself desire to limit discussion on any proper subject; provi? ded, always, that the views inculcated shall be in accordance with tbe Stand? ards of our Church. Immediately after the adoption of tbe above resolution, Rev. T. H. Law asked if the Woodrow matter was disposed of, and learning tbat it was, be drew from his pocket and read the resignation of Rev. Dr. W. E. Boggs as Professor of Church History, who requested tbat it take effect June 30, 1885. Tbe resigna? tion, which seemed to bave been pre? pared in anticipation of the action of the Board of Directors with reference to Dr. Woodrow, was promptly accepted without a dissenting voice. Next Rev, W. J. McKay took from his pocket and read the resignation of Rev. Dr. C. R. Hemphill as Professor of Biblical Literature, who requested that it take effect July 1, 1885. This resignation was also accepted. Tbe Board then determined to meet in the latter part of January, 1885, for tbe purpose of filling tbe vacant professor? ships. The whole case, as presented by tbe majority in the Board, is this: Dr. Woodrow's views, in his carefully pre? pared address, were placed by him be fore the Board last September for their judgment as to whether he could proper? ly be permitted to teach them, Tbe majority of the Board, after a two days' discussion, approved these teachings. The minority protested, and this brought tbe case before tbe four Synods owning and controlling tbe Seminary. All of these disapproved of the teaching of. evolution "as probably true," and three of these Synods instructed tbe Board to prevent such views from being taught. As Dr. Woodrow announced that if a professor, he must affirm that evolution is probably true, the Board was com? pelled to disobey tbe instructions of tbe controlling Synods or else to remove Dr. Woodrow from bis professorship, which latter they did, in accordance with the provision of tbe Constitution which says ''the Board of Directors shall have pow 1 er to remove from bis office any professor who shall be found unfaithful in bis trust or incompetent to tbe discbarge of bis duties." A few months have wrought a com? plete revolutiou in the position of the Board of Directors toward Dr. Wood? row. Last September his teachings were approved by nine members and opposed by four; now nine members oppose the teachings and four approve them?all of the latter being from tbe Synod of South Carolina, three of whom hold over by elections previous to this year. Tbe action of the Board created no surprise or excitement among the Semi? nary students, as the result was what they expected from the action of the Synods, on which they had been fully in formed. The discussions in the Board elicited no acrimony, and the courteous action of the able President, Hon. James Hemp bill, won for him the plaudits of the en? tire Board. Tbe Board adjourned at 10 p. m. Wednesday night. ? Tbe highest priced clock iq Ameri? ca is owned by a Wall street broker in New York. It cost $34,000, and was made in that city. ? A man in tbe electric light business at New York says tbat the holiday mar? ket will soon be stocked with a novelty in the way of a low-priced electric lamp to be worn in a scarfpio. Tbe lamp is connected by a wire to a small pocket battery. A simple contrivance serves to turn on tbe electric current and produce a light of one candle-power. Tbe bat? tery is compact and handy, and will give three hours' continuous current without replenishing, ? A Mobile telegram says; "It is reported on good authority tbat D. T. Parker, formerly of Mobile, and others bave struck oil at Cullom's Springs, Choctaw county, Alabama. Work has been going on there for a year, and last week, when the drills were dow n 900 faet, gas came up in great quantity. It is eaid tbe flow of oil is so great that all of it cannot be secured. There is every reasou to believe that tbe report is correct, as well known indications of the presence of oil have been apparent for some time. The well is located about 130 miles above Mobile, on tbe Tombigbee river. ? Gen. Hampton tells me that while .on his Mississippi plantation, he saw a tame crow tbat could laugh and talk. The bird would Bay "Hello!" "How are you ?" and several other things of like import. It was the most wonderful raven since the days of Barnaby Rudge end Edgar Poe. One morning a vast number of crows assembled in a tree on tbe plantation and prepared for a pow? wow. The tame bird flew among them and, rearing up, saluted the congrega? tion with a brisk "Hello 1 How are you ?'' His astonished brethren scattered in alarm as if they had been fired upon from a mountain howitzer. This mar? vellous fowl of the air was to have been sent to the New Orleans Exposition, but its sudden disappearance prevented. Gen. Hampton surmises tbat some negro shot him, by mistake.

Turner and hor mother, Mrs. P. E. Bryan, for nineteen years residents of Humboldt, Tenn., make the following statements as to tbe merits of Swift's Specific. Mr. Turner's case is well known in that community. She says: "I was afflicted for two or three years with Eczema and Erysipelas combined. My whole system was broken down, ray strength and appetite gone, and I became as helpless as a child, being lifted from place to place by my friends. I was treated by the best physicians in the com? munity with Iodide of Potash and the other usual remedies for such cases. I was given up to die by my friends. My sufferings were beyond description, and I bad lost all hope of recovery. Last January I was induced to try Swift's Specific, having received a pamphlet from the company detailing its merits. The first hall dozen bottles bad the effect to bring back hope to my heart, and tbe thought of being well again brought joy and gladness to tbe household. I have taken altogether 24 bottles. Tbe sores have all healed up and disappeared; my strength has returned, and I am able to do ail kinds of house work. Swift's Specific, I honestly believe, snatched me from the grave, and I do not know how to be grateful ~nough for ?ny recovery. mbs. Sarah E. Turner." I know that S. S. S. has saved my daughter's life. She was the most wretch? ed looking object that I ever saw when she commenced taking it, being perfectly helpless. I thank God that we ever heard of it.

It is amusing to see how tender-footed ceitain blood remedy proprietors have become of late. They make much ado about "apes and imitators," when none are in sight. The proprietors of B. B. B. would say most emphatically that their remedy stands upon its own merit. Should we attempt to imitate, it would not be those who do not understand the modus oper? andi of that which they offer. Our own long experience in the profession pre? cludes such an idea- The field for blood remedies is large and broad affording ample room for all present aspirants. We do not desire to close the door against others, neither shall it be closed against us. B. B.
