[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, December 14. THE ABBEVILLE ELECTION CASE. In the Senate, to-day, W. R. Hoyt (from the Committee on Privileges aad Elections, to which was Recommitted a report made by them, about ten days ago, on the report of the county com? missioners for Abbeville County, on an election which was held on the 25th day of May. 1S69, to choose a senator for said county.) submitted the following report, under the instructions given them by the Senate: 1 REPORT. Tour committee do not deem lt necessary to send for further evidence in the oase, as the evi? dence already before your committee ls sufficient w io enable thom to comp,/ wita the instructions al this cody. According to the testimony of Mr. L. P. Gunin, the pol! at Calhoun's MlBs was not opened until half-past 8 o'clock, A. M., while section seventh of an act of the General Assemblv, approved thc 26th day of September, A. D. 1808, requires that the poll should be opened at o o'clock, A. M. Secondly. It ls shown by the testimony of thc same gentleman that he saw the chairman of the Board of Managers appoint a person on that day to act as manager of elections at tho product of Chairman's Mills. Thirdly. It ls shown by Ute testimony of Mr. L. P. Guffln that three persons registered at the precinct of Child's Cross Roads, but it is not shown whether they were qualified or not un? der Section Seeond of Article Eight of the Consti? tution of this Slate; and bore your committee beg leave to state that lt is evident to them that the Board of County Canvassers were of the opln ! ion that it was the duty of the Board of State Canvassers to throw out bad or Blegal votes, and they themselves had not the power so to do, from the fact that evidence to prove illegality, Intimi? dation or fraud accompanied Ute statement of the votes sent to tte State canvassers. Your committee have been famished by Mr. Guffln with twelvo affidavits showing that there were many persons who were intimidated to each an extent that they were afald to and did not vote. These adda vita are corroborated by the testimony of Mr. Thomas A. Sullivan, who states that he was at the Bradley's Mills Precinct on the day of said election, and that there were betwoan thirty and forty persons driven from the pod bym embers of the Democrat:-; party aud not allowed to vo'o. Mr. James S. Cothran, who. according to the statement of the Board of County Canvassers, re? ceived, the wichest number of votes for senator, was not serv id with a copy of the protest setting forth the grounds upon walch his election was to be contested, but hearing that Mr. Guffln claimed the seat and .-.hat lt was claimed that voters were Intimidated at Calhoun's Mills, furnished yonr committee with ten affidavits, setting forth, that the election was orderly and that all had tho right to vote as they desired. In accordance with the resolution referring the ax>rt of this committee back to them, yonr com ttee beg leave to state tb rn the vote for State senator, according to the statement of the board Of county commissioners, was as follows: J. s.

JVDCK CARPKN^-R. The following letter was anbmitted by Cort received and referred to thc Judiciary Oornmitt CHARLESTON, S. C., December 10,1SS! Hon. D. T. Corbin, ivesfOr.i oj the Senate, lamb?a, S. C. SIR-A charge has been made against rae, appears from your published proceedings, tv member of your honorable body, in his place the floor of the Senate, that I have as a Judge b< unjust to the colored people of ray circuit. if this ls true, then 1 am unworthy to retain : important aud responsible position I now occu if false, 1 am entitled to a vindication as public the accusation. Inasmuch ns I am unable mee: it in this general and sweeping form, I r pectfully ask or your honorable body that i charges be made specific, end for a full and th eugh Investigation of my ofG ci al conduct. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, E. B. CARPENTER, Circuit Judge JUDGE RUTLAND. As soon as thc above letter from Judge C penter wa? received, Hayae .sarcastically; ssl if there was one of asimilar character from i judge of the Fourth Circuit, (Judge John M. R land;) if there was such he would like to have read. This remark created a little laughter, a the approving nods to Haync from some few the senators seemed to say, what was ir. fen from hts (Ilayne'B) remarks; that Judge Rutlani official conduct would not stand the ?est of an vestigation like that of Judge Carpenter. The letter of Judge Carpenter was read in t House, also, and on motion of DeLarge, w after saying "Oh ! ho, that ls all right," moved -ecelve it as information, which motion w adopted. Some ene of thc colored members sent a resolution requesting the Eouse to appoln committee of six to propose articles of impea? ment against Judge Rutland. Thc speaker sc the resolution back, and stated that as thc were no charges of official misconduct before t House, the resolution was not iu order. RECESS. Tho joint resolution of the House to take a i cess from the 22d of December to the 5th of Jan arv, was brought up in thc Sen&tc to-day. Hay moved to amend it by substituting 23d for 22 Arnim moved to amend by inserting 4th inste, of 5th. Uaync's amendment waa adopted. T members of thc General Assembly will, after al?o twenty-two days of wors, have a rest of twel days, at $6 pcrday. ' DON'T "LAY OUT, M?LZSn." A bill, introduced by Hayne ia the Senate t day, which received Rs first reading, provid that lt shall be the duty of each enrolling oiric of this State to open, at some convenient pla? within each township or polling precinct, an omi for thc purpose of enrolling such classes of pc sons as are described in section 2 of an act cnt tied "Aa act to organize and govern the milit or tho State of South Carolina;" that ten day notice bc given, by publication in a newspape of the location of the office, and that if any pe son liable to be enrolled shall neglect or fall i present, or cause to bc presented, hie name f( enrollment, he shall be subject to a fine of nt more than twenty-five dollars. RANTOWLE'S BRIDGE.' To-day, in the Senate, the Committee on Road and Bridges reported a bill, which received il first reading, providing that the charter of Rat towle'sBridge, over the Stono River, in st, Paul' Parish, Ce lie ton County, bc vested In Mrs. Elm beth S. Messervey and her heirs, and that th rates of toll be thc same as provided by law; prc vlded that voters going and returning from th polls, and children gelug lo aud from school, b passed free or charge. EDUCATION AND QUARANTINE. Joint resolutions of the House, requesting th Governor to inform thc General Assembly wha action he had taken to secure for the State th benefits of an act passed by Congress dona tin; public lands to the several States und Territories which may provide colleges for the benefit o agriculture and the mechanical arts, and ateo ti establish workhouses at the Charleston quarun tine station, were submitted to the Senate am concurred ia. THE BONDHOLDERS' BILL, Otherwise known as the bili to "better proteo the holders of Insurance policies in the State,' was brought up in the House to-day for its sccont reading and passed without a dissenting voice. The hurried and undignified manner in which ii was passed in thc Sec ate was severely comment ed upon, ai were its provisions also, by many ol the members, and it was thought that when thc bill came into their hands it would meet with considerable opposition. THE EDUCATIONAL BILL. Thc special order for one o'clock-the report ol the Committee on Education concerning a bill en? titled "A bill to establish and maintain a system of free common schools for the State of South [ Carolina "-was taken up about half-past one o'clock, and discussed uutil after three o'clock. After a long discussion on section 2d, providing that a school commissioner shall be elected la each county at the general election in October, 1370, it was postponed Indefinitely. Section 21st, providing that the Govcrnorshall lill all vacancies caused by death or failure to qualify, and section 22d, providing that thc school commissioner shall visit each school in hts county at least once dur? ing the regular term, received their second read? ing. Sectiou 23d provoked a long discussion, lt provides timi it shall bc the duty of thc school commissioner "to see that In every school under his care there shall be taught, orthography, read? ing, writing, arithmetic, geography, grammar, history or thc United States, thc principles of thc Constitution and laws of thc United States and or this State, and good behavior." Corbin thought that it was thc intention of thc framers of the 23d section to "burst wide open thc heads of lite children of the free schools or thc State," and a?> he did not wish to Bee their heads, nor those of the teaohers neither, split open by cramming too mnch or the various studies mentioned, he would move to amend by inserting the clause provided that they are far enough advanced. Jilison thought the "senator from Charleston" attempt? ed to bo sarcastic in his amendments; anyhow, he wanted a "square light over thc bill," and didn't object to any kind ol discussion; but he thought that if some of the senators had taken in their course all of the studies alluded to, they would be none the worse off: in the State (Ver? mont) from which thc "senator from Charleston" hailed, they taught the children tho principles of the constitution and the laws or thc Culled States, and he didn't sec why it couldn't bc done in South Carolina. Corbin, Interrupting. Oh, well, Vermont, .'rora which I came, is a very good state to emigrate from, and I hope South Carolina will always bc a good State to emigrate to. Nash, colored, to Corbin. Do I understand you to say that Vermont is a good State to emigrate from, and a bad on? to go back to? Corbin. Oh no, lt is u very good State: it always protected ?he colored people; there was never any slavery lhere. After this by-play, sections 23, 24, 23 and 20 were passed through their second reading. ANOTHER ERUPTION. Section 27, providing "that each county school commissioner shall receive as compensation Tor his services the sum of-dollars, payable quarterly by the county treasurer," was taken up. Corbin moved that the blank be filled np by lase: .lng the words one thousand, and that a clause be added providing that the commissioner for Charleston County receive $1500. Nash wauted the commissioners generally to receive $coo, and those of Beaufort and Charleston Counties $1000. Donaldson though: $50S each was enough. .Hilson mentioned no sum, but argued that if the commis? sioners attended to their duties they would have a great deal to do; that lt would taketwenty year6 of hard work to advance the free schools of this State to thc height of efficiency now ocenpicd by those at the North. The Land Commission, in the persen of Leslie, began to show signs of an erup? tion. Finally the "crathur" opened, and threw out a stream of abuse or thc Democrats whom lt believed aever were ncr never will nc educated, tried Jlllson ever so hard, and there? fore they shan't have any laud. In passing he said THE NEWS "was the press of the state." [Tins was intended as sarcasm, but some of the senators didn't soe lt in that way, and cast In? dignant looks landward, as much as to say, just listen at lt praising a Democratic sheet.] Further, it was of the opinion that Hie commissioners wouldn't work hard. In fact, there was one rrom Darn well County who waa a noble fellow, he worked about three days in the year and he would not work any harder; he could draw stoney, though he had taken the census, that ls,. he had taken it from thc books of thc deputies, and had drawn $800. Thc land commissioner, wound up by hinting tb"* thc increase of salaries was not much needed, hui would give good offices to some people, whereupon Corbin arose and said that probably he would take one. That state? ment being within the range of probability, Les-' lie replied, I have no doubt of it; I thought so. A motion for adjournment, which was carried,: interrupted the discussion, which was then con-, fined mainly to tr marks about what salaries were ' given to school commissioners m the Northern States. Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont and other States were heard from; in fact, a stranger who should have happened to have listened to thc debate, and Jicard thc senators say "In my State (New York, Vermont, or other Northern States, as the ?ase might tit,; so and so is the case," would have supposed that the Senate of, South Carolina was the United States Sonate, In which neither South Carolina nor any other Southern State was represented. PUT THEM OUT. 1 As the correspondent of THE Nif wg walked lute the House this morning, Just before lt was called to order, he surmised from the "black looks," ; (blacker than usual) of the members that some? thing was wrong, that something umuna) was afloat. His surmise was correct. Shortly after the House was caked to order, C. D. Uayne, the postmaster of Aiken, who has uo nose, offered the following resolution: Resolved by the House of Representatives, that the reporter of THI: DAILY NEWS, and all persons connected in any manner with said paper, be and they are hereby excluded rrom serts upon the floor or this House, and that thc Speaker bc re? quested to Instruct the clerks or this House to withhold rrom all stich persons all information In rcrcreuce to the proceedings of this body. Barney Horton, colored, from Chester. I second "dat." IL M. Smith, (Democrat.) 1 call for thc yeas and nays. Wilder, colored. Mr. Speaker, read trat resolu? tion again. Tomllnson (substantially.) Mr. Speaker, I did not hear the resolution ou account or the noise in the House; please have lt read again. [Thc clerk read lt.] Now, Mr. Speaker, I trust such a reso? lution os that will not be adopted. I trust that the dignity and seir-respcct of members will pre? vent the adoption of that resolution. On!/ con? sider, I ask, how small and contemptible lt would bc to adopt lt. DeLargc, colored, hoped the resolution wonld not be adopted, saying substantially, I soe. no necessity for it. I am willing lo accord to thc press that freedom and privilege guaranteed to them under the laws of this State and thc United st ates. I am aware they sometimes carry abuse to the extreme that all good men condemn it. I myself care nothing what any newspaper lu this or any other Slate says in relation to my official actions. Let them say what they please. If you adopt this resolution, lt will look as though you were afraid of somebody-it is foolish to act so. If you exclude this reporter from thc floor, there ls no power to prevent him from occupying a place In the galleries, unless for disorderly con? duct. Sims, colored, moved that the consideration of the resolution bc indefinitely postponed. Hayne, colored. I withdraw thc resolution. IL M. Smith. I withdraw my motion for a :a!l Tor yeas and nays. Sims, colored. 1 withdraw my motion to post? pone. Burton, eolored. "Mi . Spokcr, I offer de loiter? ing resolution :" Kesolved by thc House or Representatives. That the reporter or THE CHARLESTON DAILY NEWS is hereby expelled from this fioor. DrlfQe, colored. I move that the resolution be laid on the table. Burton, colored. "What for you do dat V Drifflo's motion was put and carried, very few voting against it, and of them four-fifths were colored. lt has been asserted that the resolutions to ex? clude thc correspondent of TBS NEWS were due to Christopher Columbus Rowen, who stands be? fore the world charged with being a Congress? man from the Second District of South Carolina, a murderer Irom Georgetown, South Carolina au incendiary and robber rrom Jacksonville, Florida, and a perjurer, bigamist and coward "at larje.'' A^ ROARING LION. The bill to giant Messrs. Dickinson et al the right or way over thc Charleston and Savannah Railroad wat taken up in the House again to day. DeLargc at on e took thc Moor and read a long mendal rrom the railroad company protesting against the righi or way being granted, on the ground that ll would conflict with thc Interests or thc road anti or its charter. Sma-lls, colored, next had thc fiosr, and Intimated that Elliott had not acted as he promised he would. Elliott branded thc statement as raise, whereupon Smalls said Elliott was the roaring lion or the House, but there was one among the members (and that ouc was Smalls) who did not stand lu rear or him. The Speaker rapped Smalls hilo his seat, and the whole subject under discussion was rererrod to thc Commute- on Railroads. O??NKRAL ELECTIONS. Rowley's bill to amend thc act providing for general elections and conduct of the same, was read in thc House to-day. It provides that char? tered bodies, which shall discharge employees because of their political opinions, shall have their charters taken away; and if planters and others discharge their employees because ol' their political opinions, they shall be fined $1000 and be Imprisoned at the discretion of the Judge. STRAY ITEMS. lt is reported that thc agents of thc Chatham Railroad have bought a lot of crape since Hie pas? sage of the bill to prevent bnbsry and corruption. Messrs. Magrath aud Peake, of thc South Carolina Railroad, Meredith, of the Greenville Railroad, Harllec, or the Wilmington and Man? chester Railroad, Mciver, oftbe Choraw and Dar? lington Railroad, and two representatives of the Georgia Railroad, are here. Judge Willard had a large reception to-night. L. THE MOBILE RACES. MOBILE, December 15. Thc winter meeting at the Magnolia Race Course commenced to-day.

Hoar has beca? nominated Associate Justice ot the Supreme Court, and Purvlance Knited States Attorney Jor the Western District of Ten? nessee, North Carolina bondholders are urging Fedora1 Interference in North Carolina finances, on the ground that the Fedoral Government must en? force constitutions adopted under thc Recon? struction acts. PROCEBDINOS OF C0NGRE88. In the Senate Sumner presented the-petition of the recent colored labor convention, preying for .a division of the public lands in the South among them. A resolution was offcre* authorizing Delano to Gtor rewards for assaults on revenue officers. Resolutions for adjournment from Ute 22d to the sth of January wcroconcurrcd In. While opposing a motk a to adjourn to the 20th Instead of thc 5th of January, Sumnersaid : "We have Georgia, Virginia and thc cable ronnectlon pressing upon us for consideration.1' Pomeroy added, "and Coba"-wlen Sumner replied, "the .least said abeut that the better." A resolution was introduced for the \1ommittco ?of Public Safety to take cognizance or-r.tcamboat, railway and other disasters. Carpenter argued against the departure of thc Spanish gunboats, maintaining that.ectual war existed, and that our proper attitude was abso? lute neutrality. The ?House adjourned without .any action being taken. I The census was discussed up to the '-hour of ad? journment. NEWS AND QVSSIF ET MAIL. The New Circuit Judges-A Nice Kettle of Fish. A dispatch or thc 12th instant, to the New 'YorkTribune, says: The trouble regarding the Circuit .lodges ls deepening, and the :present indications are that ?unless some of their names arc withdrawn from the Senate by .the President, they will bc rejected. The oppositioa ls moally confined to Urrec. name? ly: George II. Yeaman, for the Ohio Circuit; George A. Pcarre, for the Maryland Circuit, and William McKennan, for the Pennsylvaaiu Circuit, and ls developing with great vigor. The most ob? jectionable of thc nominees ls Yeatman, and Alie borden of the charms against him ls that he ls not in full accordance with the Republican party. Already remonstrances are pouring In upon .the Senr.tc Judiciary Committee. One member of the committee alcae has received more than r. dozen protesta, numerously signed, from Ken? tucky, and others have come to hand from Ohio. One of thc Supreme Gonn justices has raid that thc President ls already considering thc propriety of recalling Ve?man's nomination. The objec? tions to McKennan arc that he ls Incompetent. Pearre ls opposed on several accounts, aud lt ls rumored that his record ls not quite satlrfactory In regard to some Internal revenue mattere In his district. It appears that a large number af seua toBS are dissatisfied wita the nominees lu their districts, because their own recommendations and those or thc representatives were whai&' dis? regarded. Thc Fifteenth Amendment. TVc same correspondent says: The Importance of raUfyiug tho Fifteenth amendment has appeared to the Democratic fiiencs of Chief Justice Chase ina novel and In? teresting form lately. It U asserted by linSnen tial Democrats, who favor tho nomination or Judge Chase for President by the Democratic Convention of 1S72, that thc ratification of Hie amendracnt will be of infinite service to tl? Democratic partisans of the Chief Justice, Inas? much as he can bring to his support un Immense negro veto which no bona /Ide member of thc party cnn do. Pendleton, Hendricks, Huff, man, General Hancock, and others, being all on record as against negro suirrage,. cannot, it ls nrged. receive the nomina? tion in ease the Fifteenth amendment ls adopted by the required number of sutea; and lt ls furth? er urged by these mends or Mr. Chase Unit the Democrats cannot, hope to beat thc Republicans except with the aid of the negro vote. The Chief Justice having always been on the side of thc colored men, lt is claimed that he has their sym? pathy and confidence to a greater extent than any man in thc country. In this view of thc case, tt ts not Improbable that many of the Demo? crats will regret to sec Hie amendment become a part of the constitution. A Washington letter to thc Baltimore Gazette says: Th re is a rumor In town to-day that informa? tion has been received from Democratic sources at Albany that noeuort will be made by thc Leg? islature of New York to repeal the vote of that State In favor of thc Fifteenth amendment (so called.) From all I can learn, 1 think there can bc now no doubt that said "amendment" will, at all events, be declared adopted by this adminis? tration under any circumstances. Whatever Georgia, New York or Ohio may do, or refrain rrom doing, therefore, will not, In the least, ar? rec? thc action or the government, either in the Legislature or executive brandies. The country must bear with this additional outrage until next Cougress, when lt is to be hoped that the posses? sion orono or the Houses or the National Legisla? ture will enable Democratic States to wipe out not only this bnt the whole series or unauthorized enactments-'.amendments''-indicted upon us thc past nine years. Thc Supremo Conrt aad Habeas Corpas. Thc Washington correspondent or the Balli? more Gazette writes: Thc practical ett'eet of Trumbull's MB (ir itbe comes a statute) upon prisoners now in custody of the military authorities will undoubtedly bc tb subject them to trial by court martial, it pro? fesses to declare what thc law already ls. Some arrangement, however, (the exact natura of which ls not. known,) has bren made bv which the lives of such men are to bc secured. If a ease shall arise under this last enac' ment, doubtless the Supreme Court, would decide it to be uneon st.tution.il and void, (If hy re-ignatlnn. like that ol J uduc Grier, should not leave tho Radicals in n majority.) and, notwithstanding tho inhibition, Issue the writ of hxibeas corpas; bnt it ia already ?mown that General Grant would follow the wiil of Congress, and disregard the mandate of thc court. This would aiord thc first instance in whirU a Pr?sident has dared to Ignore the ox plieit order of the Snnrcmo Court of the United Slates, dcs'jjnrtl bj lim framers ot ttie constitu? tion as the guardian of personal liberty. The Cotton Tax. A dispatch to thc N w York World says: Tlic argument of thc cotton tax before the Su? premo Conrt has been finished, Mr. Hoar and Mr. Field speaking for the government, and P. Phillips, of this oity, and Benjamin H. Curtis, ol Boston, against ttie constitutionality of the tax. Thc sum Involved In this particular case is only twenty five hundred dollars, but the total amount to be affected by the decision is estimated as high as twenty millions of dollars, lt ?loes not follow, however, even if Hie unconstitutionality ol' the tax bc affirmed by the court, that this entire snm will bc at once refunded. Probably only the monies will be promptly refunded where thc par tics neide regular protest and appeal as required by law. 'It ls conjectured that this has been done In comparatively few cases; but If thc decision be averse to thc tax, it will follow that all this money has been wrongfully taken and it will bc the duty of Congress io provide for Its repay? ment. Some members say lids will bc done, in th?'debate on the repeal of the tax, lt was con? ceded that the tax was only defensible as a war rueusurc. Other nits cf Gossip. From thc Washington dispatches to thc Noith? em press wc glean the following paragraphs: Governor Unhook. oTGeoigia.is here, hobnobbing members of Congress to get possession of his State, and 'hen, by manipulation, have himself sent hen: ns United States senator. Information is received that rnnttc"s arc now so arranged with reference to thc Legislature in South Carolina that GoventorSeott win come herc as United Slates senator fiom that State. .lohn Russell Young, K"q., late managing editor or the Nev York Tribune, has been tendered n position as editor in charge of a Radical paper In Montgomery, Ala., willi the salary of ?io.oco. and n fighting editor thrown in as a protector, thc latter to receive $3uoo salary. SPARKS FROM TUE WIRES. A hirge amount of assorted war material landed at Fort Maria, Jamaica, Tor the Cubans, has been seized by thc British authorities. Sherman has arrived in New York and will re? main for several days. The Spanish gunboats arc ready for departure. A northeast storm is prevailing at Fortress Monroe. G. P. Barlow, of Florida, committed suicide at Terre Haute, Indiana. -The MasHachusett?

THE LABOR QUESTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. Thc question of labor among farmers has as- j Bumed a ecrlois nature. There never was a time ? when the energy, patience and tact of the South? ern planter have been put to such severe tests. He is sarronnded by a concatenation of circum? stances Bufilcicnt lo uiar thc hopes of a more sanguine people. Since the close or thc war to the present he has roanaped, by hook or crook, to coo: ru and more or less labor, tim r.istcm deteriorating, though, each year, and thc supply decreasing, until ?niily it hue become almost entirely unavailable. Thc course which contributed most to render thc first part-of this assertion true, has been thc existence in our mit ?st of Radical demagogues, who make political capital ont of the negroes on every ques? tion which pel?tes to them and the native Whites, That which has lent most to raider thc second true has b m ihe injudicious policy of the laud owners In renting their lands to the only laborers whom, under existing circumstances, tho?' could possibly expect to obtain. These canses, together with the effect of the re? cent Labor Convention, which were represented from nearly every portion of .the State,'have re? duced therpraspects for farm-laborers thc coming year to still smaller proportions. Farmern everywhere favor thc Introduction of the Chinese. No matter what may bc their status, whether they be law-abiding or not, or have any sense of moral responsibility, thc cry' ls-let them ?me. Au old gentleman the?other day made the profusivc wish trna they might laud herc iu less than twenty-four hours thicker than bail stones ever fell. He afterwards qualified it by adding, "if we coule" feed them." That thc South does need more Labor to de? velop her resources and make her more prosper? ous Is a palpable fact. The party In power in this Slate is opposed to any movement which has for Us object au Increase of labor. We, therefore, cannot expect any aid from thc State in getting Immigrants here. But, Mr. Editor, cannot Tun N>:wt, os thc representative paper of Cue State, suggest some plan by widen this resnU may be accomplished, the opposition of Scott and his sable subjects to Hie contrary notwlthstnndingt Let the land-owners and all others who may favor the project, form Immigration societies in every county of the State, and every person on becoming a member contribute an admission fee. After the societies have been thoroughly organ? ized,and the membership increased to Its maxi? mum, let each member pay Into thc treasury of hts society a certain percentage of the State tax, to beupplled to defraying the expenses of Immi? gration-the rate of percentage, of course, to be left, to a vote of each society. lu this way each member would pay propor? tionally, and-'by fixing the rate sutllciently high a munificent sum could be realised. Let every man who becomes a member do so with the determi? nation to vote for as high a rate nf percentage on his Suite tax as lils means will permit. Then let him make his ^arrangements accordingly to meet the payment. If he ls a farrrter, let him plant to make a bale or two more of cotton; If a merchant, let him reduce lils expenses ol living. I/ct every one malee temporary sacrifices for the benefits he will ultimately receive. After each organization has paid its assessed amount, let thc whole ho turned over to an honest and reliable agent, elected by the different.antic? ues, whose duty lt shall bc to apply the funds thus placed lu his hands to defraying thc ex? penses for transportation of Immigrants. On their arrival, let oach county receive a prorata number accor.liug to the sums raised, to he dis? tributed to the highest bidder for thc price of labor among thc members of thccoclety. In this way a general diffusion of immigrants would be made throughout thc State. They would become satisfied by the presence of numbers, and at thc same time receivcihe highest prices their labor would command. Competition would drive the negro to work, aiid. ln the course of a few years, thc supply of labor would equal thc demand. Of course, all cannot, at first, expect to obtain Immigrants. But the introduction of other labor? ers will supply the demand of some, and no doubt create a competition that will place the negro within command Of those wiio may fall to get Im? migrants. I offer these suggestions with a hope that the subject under consideration may be agitated, and the plan proposed Improved upon to a successful termination. More labor ls what wc need, and until we get lt onr progress as agriculturists and manufacturers will be comparatively slow. Fork of Edlsto, December, 1869. PAYSAN. A CHINE8E CONTRACT.

TIVE.-A free and regular circulation of thc blood is essential to health. It places thc whole system in a state of active defence against all unwhole? some Influences, and ls an especial safeguard against the Inimical effect of sudden changes of temperature, and of dam) and cold. If proper attention were paid to this important fact, there would not only be a great decrease n thc number of cases of stomach, bowel und renal complaints, but also In thc number of deaths by consumption and other pulmonary diseases. At this period or the year, when thc dividing line whleh separates a genial from an inclement season has just been passed, a course of H0STET TER'S STOMACH HITTERS will bc found o? In? valuable service in improving thc condition of the vital fluid and gently stimulating its flow. Vio? lent coughs and colds, like intermittent fever, are thc frequent effects of a chilly atmosphere upon a debilitated organization. Diseases of the kid? neys often proceed from the same source. How essential it is, therefore, for persons of feeble con? stitution, to invigorate the vital organization at thc commencement of winter. Fortified by warm clothing without, and HOSTETTER'S BITTERS within, the frail and delicate may brave with impunity an amount of exposure and hardship which, under other circumstances, would pros? trate them on a bed of sickness.
