The South Carolina Legislature is to
meet to-day, in extra session. The
grounds for its assembling, as stutod in
the proclamation of the Governor, arc:
1. That it shall supply the otnhujion of
tho General Assembly, at its last session,
to provide the annual tax, by enabling
the Comptroller-General, before the
151b. of November, to give the necessary
legal notice of the rates per centum of
the taxes; 2. That the decision of the
Supreme Court of the State, which re?
quires the Comptroller-General to levy
a rate per centum of taxes to pay interest
oq certain olasses of bonds, and to do
which requires legislative action, shall
be carried out by that action; and 8.
That the "General Assembly shall take
into immediate consideration the condi?
tion of the public debt of the State.
We learn now that that the financial
distress will also form a subject of
Executive' recommendation for its re?
lief by the issue of 81,000,000 of bills
receivable. Thefe can be mado of im?
mense advantage, if proper restrictions
are plaood upon tho issue. We Bhall
look with anxiety to see what the Le?
gislature will or can do with these very
grave problems. The question of the
public debt is one of immense impor?
tance, and all parties appear to be
agreed that it shall be reduced, either
by throwing overboard and utterly
refusing to pay the portion of it regard?
ed fraudulent, or by scaling it in such
way as to amount to a praotioal reduc?
tion. The main object of soaling all the
debt, rather than refusing to pay the
Bpurions part, is to save tho party the
stigma of fraud having beun committed
by itH trusted officials. Parties inte?
rested in doubtful claims will also have
a better prospect, through this process,
of having . the* reoognized and paid.
A pool can be turmod, into which they
will all be oast, to take' their chances.
Next to these speoial matters, the ques?
tions of manufacturing and immigra?
tion should receive attention. Sinco
the last session, which failed to pass the
bill for exempting capital in manufac?
tures,' only by disagreement between the
houses on some minor points in it, it
has been freely discussed in the State,
and no journal or public man of any
party has appeared or spoken in opposi?
tion to it. All of every shade of poli?
tics agree in its necessity, and all antici?
pate good from its passage. So, too, as
to immigration. There ib universal agree?
ment upon the subjeot. Men, money, en?
terprise, labor, skilled and unskilled, are
more needed now than ever before in
the history of tho State. With all our
advantages, immigrants give us a wide
berth. A fine country, a gcod climate,
remunerative crops, good pasturage,
cheap lands, valuable minerals, choioe
tomber, water power unsurpassed, afford
a field for indastry and enterprise un?
equal, d anywhere on the continent.
But the tide of immigration whioh
flows steadily from Europe, and has in?
creased 22,000 souls in the last year,
making a sum total of 816,514, soarooly
touches our shores. It seeks the North?
west. That section is rapidly increas?
ing in wealih and population. Wo
should make strenuous exertious to
secure a portion of this tide, bearing on
its bosom a rich freight of human
brains, muscle and will. Organized
effort should bo put forth to induce it to
turn its course in this direction. We
believe, however, that the sorest method
of inviting immigration is to promote
manufactures. The best immigration
measure is to exempt manufacturing
capital from taxation, and, as auxiliary
to it, to open lines of railway to tho
North-west. Men and capital will seek
the fields of labor whioh they regard us
safe and pleasant, and whioh, with tho
comforts of life and advantages of edu?
cation, promise the largest remunera?
tion to toil, indastry and wise use of
means.

Oar community has hardly realized
the severity of the yellow fever scourge
in Shreveport and Memphis. From
the 13th September to tho 12th October,
there were 976 deaths in Memphis, 700
of them resulting from yellow fover.
There is a slight decroase reported now,
and the sanitary condition may be con?
sidered as improving. At Shrovoport,
every buBioeas house is oloscd, and
every member of eight leading business
firms is dead. Notwithstanding the
distressing financial stringency every?
where prevailing, generous response has
oeon generally mado all over the coun?
try to tho appeals of theeo suffering
cities, Columbia has done but little as
yet, bat wo hope that at the ooncert
soon to bo given in aid of those oition, a
hindsomo sum will be realized.
Battle Flags.
From a gentleman, who has recently
been passing some time iu Atlanta, Qa.,
we learn that he saw in the Young
Men's Library, of that city, the flag of
the First South Carolina Regiment of
Colonel Gregg, and also the flag'of
Musgrove's Company, supposed, also,
to have belonged to the First Regiment.
These South Carolin? flags were picked
up in Riohuiu?d by some one unknown,
and in due time presented to the library
of the young men of Atlanta. Our in?
formant Bays that they look battle-worn,
and show the hard sorvioe through
whioh they wero borne. They are
piously preserved, are gracefully fes?
tooned over an nrohed door-way, aud
form one of the most, conspicuous
objects and most striking ornaments in
the building.

The signal defeat of the Administra?
tion in Ohio is made mora notable by
the fact that the Senatorial aspirations
of a favored member of the Cabinet urn
thwarted by the ohoioe of a Demooratio
Legislature Mr. Delano purposed
stepping from tho Interior Department
to the United States Seuate over the
head of Mr. Thurman, aud the Presi?
dent has not withheld his hand in help?
ing him to the leap. Ho was the choice
of the Administration, and he had its
countenance and its active assistance.
The business of the department has
been allowed to take care of itself, while
the Secretary has busied himself about
the country and joined personally in the
management of the canvass iu Ohio for
his individual interest.
Death of Mr. W. C. Harris.?The
death of this gentleman?Mayor of
Uui'ui?has been announced. The
Uuionville Times gives the following
particulars of tho sad affair:
Our community was shocked on Sa?
turday morning last, at reoeiviog the
news by the down train, that W. C.
Harris, one of our largest and best mer?
chants, and the esteemed Iutenduut of
our town, had been killed the morning
before, about seventeen miles from
Charlotte, on the Air-Line Railroad.
We have never seen a oommunity so
deeply affected, as was oars on recoipt of
the sad intelligence. Mr. Harris was
one of our most r??peotod citizens. He
had been to New York and purchased a
very extensive stock of goods, aud was
on his way home when the sad a Aid out
occurred. It appears that the train Lad
stalled on a very steep grade, aud the
engineer was making efforts by backing
and starting ogai?, to overcome it,
when Mr. Harris rose from his seat and
attempted to cross the platform into tho
back oar. Just as he opened tho door
the bumpers of the oars were close to?
gether and he made a step, at tho same
time reached ont his hands to catch the
railing of tho other car, when the engine
suddenly started and separated the. plat?
forms so far that he missed his step and
grasp and fell through. The traiu, it is
supposed, backed uud went forward
onoe or twice after he fell, aud as often
passed ever him. A brakenian disco?
vered him at last, jumped from the car
and pulled him out from botween tho
front and hack wheels, but life was ex
tinot, and he lay the most horribly
mangled oorpso ever seeu. From bis
waist to his toed every bone was broken
and large pieces of flesh were picked up
on the track.
The accident occurred near Wright's
station, and, strange to tell, the con?
ductor of the train, a Mr. Long, left the
body just whero the brakemnn hud
pulled it to, on tho Bide of the truck,
with tho head down the embuukmeot
aud tho feet up towards the track. No
further notice was taken of tho body,
and it remained there for hours. At
Gaytouia, six miles beyond, the con?
ductor instructed tho section master to
"go and see about it."
Terrible Sufferings at SaA.?The
schooner J. II. Stiekuey, which urrived
at Baltimore, Friday, brought the of?
ficers aud crew of the wrecked schooner
Sylvan, of Baugor, Me., from Charles?
ton, ?. O., for Providence, Rhoda
Inland. The Sylvan left Charleston,
September 30, with a cargo of 12G.UU0
feet of lumber. On tho Cth of October,
at noon, tho schooner eucouuterod a
gale, in whioh she was wrecked. The
names of tho rescued crew wero Captain
Vuazie, Mate Henry P. Hatch, Steward
Emile Lo Blanc, and throe colored sea?
men. Whan rescued, thoy wero nearly
naked, their olotbes having been nearly
washed from their bodies by the action
of the waves. On board the schooner
Sticknoy thoy woro humanely treated,
clothed and fed, and are now partially
restored. There was no insurance upou
the Sylvan, and her value was estimated
at $7,000. She was partially owned by
by Captain Vcuzie, who, with his men,
of oourae lost everything they hud with
them.
The New York Trihunf, of Friday,
says: "Perhaps tho moat important fea?
ture of the day iu Wall streut was tho
official announcement of the liquidation
of tho affairs of Jay Gould, preparatory
to his retirement from Wall street.
Mrs. Gould's health has become im?
paired, and it was deemed advisable to
order a ohango of sceuo aud climate.
Mr. Gould has, thus far, been making
preparations for an early departure
from the city, to bo absent a number of
mouths. It is not yet known whether
he will go South or to Europe, tlioso
being his objective points."
Mr. Thomas Hamilton lost fully 100
acres of ont rioe, carried away by tho
flood on the Ashopoo River. His loss
is estimated at $5,000.
Condition of the Chop.?The report
of the Bureau of Agriculture at Wash
ingtoo, an to tho present condition of
the octton crop, ie unfavorable. The
aversge condition of the crop off '78 is
ai moon beiow thai ox r72 m the latter
yosr was in exoess of '71. The area in
'72 was one-eighth greater than in '71.
The autumn was more favorable for de?
velopment and picking, whioh resulted
in an increase of about 1,000,000 bates
lust jear. The area of the present year
was increased about ten per cent., bat a
large portion of it bad to bo abandoned..
Tbo planting was lato and the seasons |
most unfavorable. The caterpillar and
the boll worm have not boen idle. Tbe
prospeot, therefore, in most unfavorable
for a large yield. In many portions of
tbe South, there will not be a half crop
made. Hundreds of acres had to be
abandoned on account of late and unfa?
vorable seasons. The sevens and pro?
tracted cold weather delayed planting
for three or four weeks at the com?
mencement. As soon as the plant be
gaa to show itnelf, the rain set in aud
tbe grass made such headway that a
large part of tbe crop bad to be aban?
doned in ordor to secure half a stand
for that portion of tho ucrenge whioh
the producer resolved upon cultivating.
TLi4 is a gloomy picture, but th-) tcsilt
of the preseutyear's planting operations
will show that it is not overdrawn. In
order to seouro anything like a yield, at
I all commensurate with the vast nereago
in cotton, tbo autumn must continue
favorable for development aud picking.
The Washington Bureau gives it as its
opinion, based upon the reports of its
correspondents from all sections of the
cotton-growing States, that the fall sea?
son must be of average length aud com?
paratively favorable for picking to in?
sure a crop equal to that of last year.
PerBons who have traveled extensively
through tho South know, from actual
observation, that the yiold this year will
bo far less than that of last year. In
many plantations in Georgix, the lust
stalk has already been picked, aud the
favorable season for further develop?
ment will bo of no avuil. If the crop
has tnrned out in other States as it has
in Georgia and South Carolina, and we
believe that it has, the yield will be as
much below that of last year as the lat?
ter was in excuss of tho preceding year
of 1871.?Awjusta Chronicle,
Oqo of tho most unfortunate result"
of tho financial panic is tbe discharge of
hnudreds of workmen from various
large manufactories iu tho priucipal
cities. Tho recent heavy discharges
from foundries in aud around Philadel?
phia, and the previous similar occur?
rences iu New York, gave a melauoholy
premonition of more extended trouble.
It ha3 now extended to the New Eng?
land cotton aud woolen mills, one sus?
pension in Rhode Island being already
announced, and the Manufacturers'
Board of Trade of Fall Rivor, Mass.,
having agreed to recommend a suspen?
sion of all mills two days in each week,
and to run only eight hours per day the
other four days, for the present. Seve?
ral Western manufactories have also
taken steps to curtail expenses, und in
Baltimore likewise nctiou has beeu taken
at one or moro large establishments
looking to their economical working
while the pauic continues.
Loss of the Steam-Tuo Oldham.?
The Wilmington (N. C.) Journal, of Oc?
tober 18th, says: "The steam-tug Alex.
Oldham, which left here last Saturday
night for Charleston, under command of
Captain D. P. Morgan, wus lost on
Wednesday, about ?vo miles off the
mouth of Little River. Her pumps re?
fused to work, and, as she could got no
headway, she became unmanageable,
and was swamped by the heavy sea that
was running at the time. Her crew
succeeded in getting off safely."
A Pair of Fools.?A man named
Harper, who lives in Missouri, writes to
tho St. Ltnis Caucasian to say that he
will hot $5,000 that President Graut,
"unless no dies from natural or other
causes, will bo assassinated on or bofore
tho 10th day of April, 1871." It is
doubtful which is the greater donkey?
the. mun who made the bet or the tnau
who printed it. What a good card that
bet would bo just beforo an election!
The oaso of Page McCarty, charged
