A Good Move! Some days ago we reminded the General Assembly that a statutory provision that no . addition should be made to the State debt without the consent ol the people, was of no' value, inasmuch as the next Legislature could, if it chose, repeal the prohibition, and -issue new bonds and stocks at discretion. At the same time we suggested that, it the ^Legislature were acting in good faith, they - ?should adopt, at the present session, a con? stitutional amendment providing that no new debt shall be created except. by Actrof Assembly, ratified by a two-thirds popular vote at the general election succeeding its passage.. This amendment could be voted on by the people in October, and, when rati? fied by the Legislature in December, would become a bindiDg part of the organic law of the Slate.. With .sue h a provision engrafted upon the constitution, any Improper addition to the public debt would become impossible. We 'con fess th at we did no t expect the Leg? islature to heed the advice we gava - Tc our mind the proposal to prohibit any in crease of debt was a trick intended to de -ceive the public. But the Legislature have . taken up the question in earnest, and yes? terday a joint resolution, such as we had ad? vised, was introduced in both the Senate and the House. We hope that the Joint Resolution will pass as easily os our.correspondent predicts. Wben the volume of debt is limited, we shall really, know what difficulties we have to face. We can then address, ourselves -with .some confidence to the ungrateful task of : making the best ot a bad bargain, and of shouldering the liabilities imposed upon us Dy official ml'iconduet and heedless and ex tr?vagant legislation. How to Secure oar Gatos. The commercial future of this fair city is doubtful, only because of the danger that it | may. be deprived of the advantages which have caused trade and commerce to increase with gratifying steadiness, in spite of war, - of pestilence and of vicious legislation. Looking back upon the past seven years and their result, we may feel conti dent that no effort on the part Of our rivals can pre? vent Charleston from becoming the foremost city en the South Atlantic coast; provided that there be no change in.the railroad policy by which, und through -whicbV we have thriven. But take from Charleston the South Carolina Railroad, and the connecting steam? ship lines which the road ?apports, and noth? ing of consequence remains. A brisk trade in potted shrimps and palmetto canes will not support fifty thousand people. At this time, therefore, we can see both the weak? ness and the strength of our position. And we have written in vain if we have not satis? fied the public that it is indispensable to the j welfare, nay ! to the existence of Charleston, that the Sooth Carolina Railroad shall not be bought np or leased by any persons whose interests are diametrically opposed to our own. The plan of our adversaries is to buy up quietly a voting majority of tho stock of the road. Having accomplished this, they will put the road ander the management of their | own creatures, or lease it directly to the coi pora?on which they represent. Either course will produce the desired effect; the road j instead of working for the benefit of South Carolina and the development of Obarles - ton, will work for the benefit ot, a rival rail? road and rival city. The great question, therefore, is to devise means for preventing j any clique from obtaining as mach stock as is necessary for the successful prosecution of | their purpose. We firmly believe that it is as much for th A advantage ot the stockholders of the South Carolina Railroad to resist a lease or sale, as it is for the advantage of the people of this city. Bat there are large speculative holders of stock, who will pot it on the mar? ket whenever there is a tempting advance in price. There are, besides, many stockhold? ers whose necessities, from time to time, force them to sell their stock. These two classes are expected to offer to the Bing, in larger or smaller lots, the shares still re? quired. We cannot expect any help from the. speculative or the necessitous holder. Other persona have bought the stock as a permanent investment, being assured that the road, before long, will pay handsomely. There are still others who look less to the j direct profit in dividends, or in advance of | price, than to the profits from their trade or profession, which the possession of the stock assists them to retain. They have a stake in Charleston amounting to many times the nominal value of ihelr stock. The loss of their yearly income could nol be compensa? ted for by any price that a clique might oiler for their railroad shares. And it is by means of such holders that we had hoped to block the game of every opponent. With a major? ity of the stock held by persons whose inter? est in the city, whether as merchants or me? chanics, or as owners of rear estate, was fra greater than their interest io the stock, we might laugh at any Biog. Their boasted J millions could not buy what was not for sale. There are ten thousand voters in this city. Au average holding of one share would make Charleston safe, and insure to every man the peaceful pursuit of his calling. But it is difficult to reach the citizens in detail; espe? cially when rapidity of action is required. Then, again, some men are only too anxious to shirk their share of the burden. Count? ing on the sagacity of their fellow-citizens, they leave others to do the work and pay the money, while they take a liberal part of the beneficial result In this manner, large property-holders escape, while persons .of less means carry more than their part of the j load. This is unjust. If, as we maintain, it is indispensable to the prosperity of all classes of citizens that the control of the South Carolina Railroad remain in Charles? ton, it is right that all classes should unite in whatever measures may be proper for obtain? ing and keeping that control-every man, ac? cording to his property or income, should con? tribute his quota of money, because, to the full extent of his possessions or earnings, he is interested in saving Charleston from min. But we fear that the people will not, of their o wu accord, divide out the load so that it will press ligutly upon each one of us. The rich man is slower of motion than the poor man. They who have little give more than they who have much. It is not denied that "something must be done," but each man waits for his neighbor, and the enemy the while thunders at the gates. This,brings us to a consideration of the important point whether it is not proper and necessary for the City Government, as the corporate representative of the whole peo? ple, to take the matter in hand, and accom? plish at one stroke what, we fear, never will J be done by individual effort The Drawing of the South Carolina Land and Immigration Association. It was to be expected that the drawing of | the South Carolina Land and Immigration Association should cause far more disap? pointment than gratification. The number of prizes was large, and the public did not pause to reflect that the number of tickets was very much larger. There is hardly a village in the State where some sanguine ticket-holder had not counted on winning the Academy of Music or the one hundred tho.usand dollar prize. There were legions who.were ready to assume the role or injured innocence if they did not secure a prize of a thousand dollars. For all this we were pre? pared, but, knowing the integrity of the j managers and the care with which the draw? ing was conducted, we did not anticipate the conclusion at which some of the ticket- j holders have arrived, viz, that no prizes of any consequence were drawn, and that the Association made a fortune by the opera? tion. We should have taken no notice of j this feeling, had it, not found expression in a courteous demand that THE CHARLESTON NEWS, which had spoken favorably of the scheme from the beginning, should inquire into the condition of the Association and pub? lish the resnlt of its investigation. We did not feel at liberty to slight this request, and as soon as the books of the Association were substantially closed, we called for a state? ment of the result The books were thrown open to oyr scrutiny, and we have obtained a certified exhibit of the whole receipts and and expenditures of the Association, which exhibit must set at rest the doubts of the friends, and the suspicions of the opponents, of the Sooth Carolina Land and Immigration Association. The Association had determined to make their enterprise successful, if work and a liberal expenditure of money could insure it They advertised the scheme. thoroughly by means of advertisements and circulars, while resident agents canvassed their re? spective sections. But the stringent laws against lotteries in macy States, the want j of sympathy, in the North and Northwest, with the objects of the Association, the fact that several similar enterprises were before the publie, and the lack of money in the Sooth, threw insurmountable difficulties in the way, and, long before the day of draw? ing, it was manifest that the balk of the tickets would remain unsold. As the draw? ing had been once postponed it could not, in good faith, be again deferred. It rested with the Association, therefore, to decide whether the amount of prizes should be re? duced in proportion,to the number of tickets disposed of, or whether the full list of pre? miums should be drawn, the Association taking the benefit or the unsold tickets. Experience Bbowed that pr o rata drawings always gave dissatisfaction, and the Asso? ciation decided, wisely we think, lo take the risk of a complete drawing. They hoped that this course would disarm h os trie criti? cism. Having stated the main reasons why so few tickets wero sold, and having ex? plained the motives which led the Associa? tion to carry out the entire scheme as pub? lished, we submit a brief statement of the resnlt: The whole number of tickets disposed of was_. 28,467 The number of unsold tickets held by the Association on the day of the drawing was. 121,533 Total number of tickets...:. 150,000 The proceeds of 28,467 tickets, gold at $5, were.'!.$142.335 Deduct expenses, already paid. 105,G Cash balance, available for prizes drawn and miscellaneous disburse? ments.$36,447 This exhibit demonstrates the fact that the Association made no money out of the drawing. Out of the $36,447 the Associa? tion paid all the prizes that were drawn, and, besides EO doing, they gave $5000 to the State Mechanical and Agricultural So? ciety, S500 to the Confederate Widows' Home and $500 to the Catholic Orphan Asylum. When the few outstanding claims are paid, the Association will have absolute? ly nothing left. We have taken particular pains to ascer? tain the receipts and disbursements in the City of Charleston, and we rind that the whole number of tickets sold in the city was 5639, realizing $23,356 net casb. The ex? penditure of the Association in Charleston, in prosecution of the business was $44,500, exclusive of over $10,000 paid out in premi? ums. This proves, we think, that Charles? ton bas no cause for grumbling. As far as we are coucerned, the foregoing statement must bo taken as final. The Agares are certified to by the bookkeeper of the Association, and are strictly correct We receive them as convincing!' evidence, if such were needed, that the drawing was managed fairly, and that the Association did not make any profit by the enterprise. We hope, therefore, that newspapers which have demanded an investigation will print the result of the inquiries which, at their instance, we have made. THE list of lands npon which the State tax is unpaid takes up two and a half .columns of the Edgefleld Advertiser and one column of the Lexington Dispatch. Ac? cording to Neagle & Co. this is another proof that the people can stand a higher tax than that of 18711 A Dainty Volume. LEGENDS AND LYRICS. By Paul "H. Hayne. . Philadelphia: J. B. Lipplncott ?fe Co., 1872. . Charleston : Fogartie'd Book Depository. .In .Mr. Hayne, South Carolina possesses a true poet. Long ago bis tender verse had earned for bim a place amongst the foremost devotees of the Southern Mase; bat these Legends and Lyrics are marked throughout by a simplicity, grace and ideal charm which fairly challenge comparison with the best poetry of the modern school. There is a finish and completeness in every poem, from trie modest sonnet to the more elaborate efforts, like The Wife of Brittany, which forms the piece de resistance of the volume, whicb tell of a bappy union of the witchery of art with the fire of genius. Without the weird dreaminess of Timrod, or the bold and ringing vehemence of Randall, Mr. Hayne bas a rich and glowing fancy, and a purity and delicacy of style which invest his poems with a subtle beauty all their own. The concluding verses of the book, address? ed to the mother of the author, breathe an exquisite tenderness and an affectionate reverence that must go home to every heart. . We give them entire: TO MT MOTHES. Lice streamlets to a silent sea, These songs with varied motion Flow irom bright Fancy's uplands free, ' ' Tu Lettie's clouded ocean ; ?

Persons who are predisposed to dyspepsia, und their sufferings from thia cause greatly aggravated by damp weather, easterly winds, and sudden changes from a mild to a chilling atmosphere. In fie spring, therefore, the pangs of indigestion are seriously augmented by the atmospheric varia Hons peculiar to the season, and lt ls incumbent upon ad who desire to pass through the ordeal of ita cold mists and insalubrious gales willi easy stomachs, and untormented by the indescribable torments which accompany dyspepsia, to tone and strengthen the digestive organs with a health? ful and cflectlve vegetable lnvlgorant; and no one nt all ramlliar with the medical record of the age, can question for one moment that HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS ls tho Tome best adapted to this purpose. The credentials of tho Great Restorative are un? equalled in number and character by those of any other advertised medicine In the world. If ever there was a preparation to rank as a National Rem? edy, tals wonderful specific has a fair claim to the title. For a period of twenty years it has literally been the Champion Tonic and Alterative on this side of the Atlantic. In popularity lt has never been approached by any of its would-be competi? tors, and its annual sales are so far in advance of those of any other medicine of its class, that com? parisons would be ridiculous. One or two con? clusions is Inevitable. Either the American peo. pie are deficient in common sense, and Incapable or rational discrimination, or Hostetter'a Bitte? ls the best preventative remedy for indigestion, rever and ague, bilious remittent rever, constipa? tion, rheumatism, nervous complaints, aod all maladies cr an epidemic type.
