Pabib, July 16.?The debate on
Magne'a tax proposals was continued
in the Assembly, to-day. The Minis?
ter, referring to the rate <??? the salt
t-\". aoonaed the Bepnblioau deputies
of subordinating the fiuanoial interests
of the country to politioal considera?
tions. This was followed by a scone
of tumult aud 'disorder, whioh com?
pelled President Buffett to temporarily
suspend the sitting. Subsequently,
the Minister's proposition to inoreasu
certain taxes was rejected?335 to 256.
This result involves, tbe defeat of
Magne's entire financial plans. Ven
tavoo, deputed of tbe Oommittee of
Thirty, read a report on various con?
stitutional propositions referred to tbe
committee. It states that the oommit?
tee recognize the irrevocability of Pre?
sident MoMahon's powers, but deolare
the septenate merely upaoe to party
for seven years. The oommittee de?
cides to set aside Pieriere's bill and
substitute their own, wbioh consists of
six clauses. Tbe first maintains the
title of President of the republic;
second establishes ministerial respon?
sibility; third confers legislative power
upon the two chambers, appointmeut of
members of tbe upper House or'Senate
to be subject of a future bill; fourth
provides that tbe President alone is
authorized to dissolve tbe tower Ho..bb
or Ohauber of Deputies; fifth pre?
scribes that tbo congress of both
chambers shall provide for o, continu?
ance of tbe Government, in ease Mar?
shal MoMahon dies, resigns or reaches
tbe end of his term of office; sixth
says no modification of constitutional
laws is to be allowed, unless first pro
Dosed by tbe President. The Assem?
bly appointed Monday uext for debate
on the report. All Parliamentary pur
ties are disappointed. The Left con?
siders the committee's bill aims ut a
dictatorship, without putting no eud
to party agitation. The Legitimists
and Imperialists aro also agaiust it,
aud rejection is considered certain.
As was expected after the defeat of
his plans by the Assembly, Magne,
Minister of Finance, has teudered his
resignation; he will continue in office
uutil his successor is appointed.

OBITUARY.
"Tint they may real from their labors."
Died, on the 30th day of April, 1874, at
her residence, in Ricbjand County, B. 0.,
Mrs. JULIA 15. KILLIAN, in the fifty
seventh year or her age*
The words of Scripture quoted above are
peculiarly applicable to her, for death
came to her, not as the king of terrors,
but as the aweot messenger of her Re?
deemer, to deliver her from the pains of
tho floan and lead her to the eoenes of per?
fect and eternal peace. Hho was an bum?
ble professor of the Christian religion,
having connected hereolf with tbe Preaby
tsrian Church, in Columbia, S- 0., in the
year 1849. For many years before her
death, her health had been delioato, but
bor duvotlou to her dutiea, to her family
and her habit of eelf-?aorifice, would not
permit her to yield to aiokneas and ackno w
ledge heraelf an invalid. (Several years
wgo, hor husband wab Bmitten with a pa?
ralysis of ono side of bia body, which ren?
dered him oomparatively helpleaa till the
time of Lib death, about five months be?
fore that of Mrs. Killian. Itegardleas of
her own health an dot the pain which she
contiHnally suffered, ehe nerved herself to
bear this great trial, and summoned all her
energies to enable her to alleviate the suf?
fering winch it canted him. At laat, when
he who alaolongreaiatod theencro aebments
of disease was confined to hie ohamber, ehe
watched at his bedside, day and night, for
one long month, her paling cheek and
waeting form betraying the fact that her
own life, too, waa ebbing faet away. She
never realized the diminution of her
atrength till hie death rendered her atten?
tions to him useless, and then, the extra?
ordinary stimulus to exertion being re?
moved, abe betook heraelf to her bed, aud
consented to receive from her family and
frienda those kindly offices which had
formed ao large a portion of the occupa?
tion of her own life. Tenderly and care?
fully they watohed her, but little did it
avail, exoept to prove their affection. No
one ever prized more highly than abe the
love and ontoem of those whom she loved,
and doubtless the satisfaction which this
Save her waa no small palliative to her
ouble affliction. For five long, weary
months, ahe lay and suffered, atill striving
to conceal the full measure of her pain,
that she might epare the feolinga of thoae
who nympathized ao deeply witb her. Fre?
quently, as often aa her sickness would
permit, ahe would endeavor to converse
oheerfully and pleasantly, actuated even in
this by the spirit of self-denial and kind?
ness which bad characterized her life, but
human aid could not stay tbe destroyer's
hand, and at laet she followed her beloved
husbt.nd, in whose company she had tra?
veled twenty-five years of the journey of
lire.
Her loss to her family cannot be repaired,
and can only bo alleviated by tbe constant
recolleotion and observance of her example
and precepts. And many besides her fami?
ly aud family oonnectiona will miss her
sadly, for bor kindneaa and sympathy were
confined to no narrow circle. She waa a
devoted wife, a most tender mother, a kind
mistress, an unwavering friend, she waa
possessed of uunenal intelligence, and her
energy and perseverance in the perform
aucu oi her temporal dntiee were only
equaled by the conacientiousneaa which
was tb'.dr origin. Though ahe would have
wished to live for the sake of her children,
yet when death came, he found her ready.
How ineffably bright and glorioua must
have appeared the world of spirits on
which her oyes opened when ahe closed
them on thiel How delightful to her muat
be the green Molds whioh line tbe banka of
the River of Lifel How itweet her rest "by
the still waters!"
