COLUMBIA, S. C. Wednesday Morning, Nov. 25,1874. Sonthern Htate.' Debts. The statement made io a Richmond special despatch: to the Now York Herald, concerning a plau that baa been formed to convert the bonds of delin? quent Soathera States into a security that oan be enforced by legal proceed? ings, is one that interests ns here. It ie stated that the American Bond Funding and Banking Association, of London, through whose agency fchitj scheme is to .be carried out, has al? ready made arrangements with the Governors of several 8tates, inolnding Sesth Carolina. The debts are to be retired by the association, and bonds having thirty years to ran, with inte? rest payable in London, are to be re scItscI by it. Its seoaruy is to be a sinking fund, which shall be provided for by taxation. The holder is to pro? ceed by mandamus to oompei the aud? itor to collect taxes to satisfy his claims, independently of the will or action of the Legislature. Altogether, it seems an impossible scheme, and a jumble of words. If it contemplates legislation by which a State shall open its ooorts to the holders of its obliga? tions and oonfer upon them the right to oollect tbem by having taxes levied for this purpose, enoh right and reme? dy would all be very well. It once conceded and a part of a.contract, they could not be withdrawn. But what delinquent State, or any other, will en? ter into snob arrangement as that? What State will set up a judicial ma? chinery to be run against itself? We have only glanced at this plan. It may have merits that we cannot see. Ex? cept this compulsory part, it strikes us favorably enough. EuitoruAN Annr.es.?If complete readiness for war is thu best means of insuring the continuance of peaoe, the tranquility of- Europe, remarks tho Pall Mall fxazelte, must have b eon of fectnally secured this year, in which large additions have been made to the forces of every European power. The proposed legislation in reference to the German laodsturm will increase the military strength of Germany to an.extent hardly yet realized, though iho Upener Gazette estimates the in? creased force arising from a first oall of the lundsturm at 300,000 men. The French army will, beginning from this year, be increased within twelve years to 1,800.000, a foroo sopplemented by a Iaudsturm orgtoizttiou not less ex? tensive than that of Germauy. Russia will io the same period muster a stand? ing army of 750,000 men, and a re? serve of 1,710,000 men. Austria has made en muoh progress iu the deve? lopment of her military resources that she could take the field with 500.000 to 600,000 nreu. Italy oonld follow with 4UO.O0O men, and Turkey with 200,000, while wa have 500,000 men to defet) J our own soil, and could contri? bute from 70,000 to 80,000 men to? ward the prosecution of a European war. The Cuban insurrection still lives. The insurgents, indeed, have not been so aotive or aggressive at any time within the last three or four years as they are now, and it is upon the re? ports of the Spauish authorities that this important faot is disclosed. Don Carlos, fighting for the monarchy in Spain, is evidently doing good servioe for the cause of independence and of the Republic in Cuba. A French Newsi-ai-uk Office. ?-A Paris correspondent says, in describ? ing the office of the Figaro: "Open? ing upon the grau 1 gallery that rune around the Spanish palio or rotunda, aro the rooms or halls that lead to the rooms of the various employees. These ?ro all furnished in magnificent style, with rosewood furniture, rich carpets, tapestry, bronzas, and marble statues. Some rooms ucoommodate a single writer, others two or three. The prin? cipal editor, De Villomessaut, occupies a small room on tho ground floor, to the right of tho principal entrance. There are also a richly furnished coun? cil room, io whiub all the literary force moot euoh month; bed-rooms, bath-rooms, aud breakfast and dining rooms?for all the literary force of the paper, save the editor-in-chief, eat, sleep and livo iu the building. There is also u very large room, whose sides are hung with masks aud glittering foils. Eich day, at 2 o'clock, all thu omployeos assemble iu this room aud rooeive lessons iu fencing from an ex? pert. This iu obligatory on euch one, for the reason that eaoh individual is expected to hold himself in reudiut.ss to call or bo called to tho fluid of honor at a moment's uotico. Any hesitation in snob k eise Would secure thu instant 3ifiaiia<Ul of 'the individual involved." TUE BT ATE LBOIsk&TUHK. TOESDAY, NoVEMBBR 24, 1871. SENATE.

The recently elected Senators appeared at the Presi? dent's desk, presented their creden? tials, the oaths were administered by the President, and they took spatu. after prayer by Ks v. David Harris, of Edgefield, the President uddreused the Senate as follows: Sbnatokh: Oo resuming the duties of this office, to whioh the people of booth Oatolina have re-elected me, and for which I feel profoundly grateful, it is perhaps unnecessary to occupy your time with aoy review of the results or significance of the late canvass. I fully appreciate the increased responsibili? ties devolving upon us, and trust that our administration?ezeontive, legisla? tive and judicial?will meet not only the highest expectations of onr friends, but command the aommendation and approval of the whole people of the State. We have a great aud difficult task before us, requiring the exercise of the highest wisdom, experience aud sound judgment. Much is expected of eaoh of us by our constituents, and iu the various conflicting interests you will be called npon, as legislators, to deoide, your patience, feelings and philosophy will be sorely tried. But I believe you have only to act with firmness and prudence for the general public interests to ren? der harmless the shafts of euvy or disappointment which may bo aimed at you, and receive the thaoks of all good oitizens. To those with whom I have beeu formerly associated, I need hardly say, that it will be my highest ambition to so disohargu the duties of the chair that all our proceed? ings shall be harmonious, aud con? ducted with the dignity and decorum that haB always characterized this body. I shall always oudeavor to act impartially, and in accordance with the rules adopted for your guidaucu. If 1 err, I trust you will attribute it to au error of the head and not of tho heart. Whilo uoknowledging, then, our grati? tude to Almighty God fur his con? tinued care, protection aud blcssiug, let us resolve to act with ualm delibera? tion and wise decision, which will fortify us against all asuaulte, iuvuine rable to all unjust or ungenerous criti? cism. Not wishing to trespass further upon your patience, wo arc now ready to proceed to business. The Senate proceeded to the elec? tion of President pro lern., to servo iu the absence of tho Lieutenant Go? vernor. Messrs.

Ou motion, adjourned. Propositions of tue London Bund uoldkks' Associati >n.?The New York Herald's Riehmund IV?.) special of November 17, auy-: Arrangements bo tweeu the British bond-holders und the Governor and Treasurer of Vir? ginia for fuudiog the present debt of thia State havo at last been entered into with some satisfactory results. The Legislature of Virginia, at its last session, appointed Governor Kemper! and Mr. R M. T. Hunter, the Trea? surer, commissioners to confer with tbe creditors of Virginia to seo if something could not be done to put her debt on a satisfactory basin. Ac? cordingly, they had a meetiug on the loth instant, which resulted in no? thing. Since then, and largely owing to Governor Kemper'? exertions, au nrraDgement has been mudo by the Virginia commissioners and the Ame? rican Bond Funding and Banking As? sociation, limited, of Loudou, by which the British association eugugus to retire the present debt and receive iu lieu thereof bonds payable iu thirty years, with priucipul and interest pay? able in London in gold coin, tbew?olo to be secured by a sinking fund, nnd tbe payment of interest, principal and sinking fund to be taken out of tbe hands of the Legislature and vested iu the Auditor, who can be compelled to levy tiud collect taxes to pay them by mandamus iu either S:ate or Federal Courts. The American Boud Funding aud B inking Association is bucked by the tirst capitalists of Europe?Lord Northbrook. chief of the bouse of Hiring; Rothschild <fc Gilliat, of Lou dou; Hope, of Amsterdam, nnd Salo? mons, of London and New York. It has already made arrangumemeuts with the Governors of Arkansas, Mis sissippi, Alabama, South Carolina. North Carolina aud Virginia to accept its proposition to fund oortain speci? fied portions of their publio debt in bonds payable in London iu gold cotu, and those Governors have under? taken to recommend the measaro to their respective Legislatures. The Governor of Georgia has re? jected tho proposition, and that Stute will be let severely alone. In the opi? nion of many the Legislature of North Carolina will not aocept the terms pro? posed, because thej will biud her to pay, hud put it in tho power of tbe boud-holders to collect their interest aud debt. The legislation provided to secure the payment of tbe new botids bus been prepared by counsel emineut at the American and English bar and is approved by Frederick Knapp, of Berlin, who is the German authority on American law, ami Mr. Benjimin, I of LondoD. Itisbisud ou the deci? sion of the Supreme Court of the United States iu the cases against the { I Western cities und Counties?Van I llollinai) vs. Q lincy, Gepcke vs. Dti ! buqite?and those adjudications which \ hold that a court has power to enforce I the collection of u tux when the L<v I gislutttre has provided the necessary machinery. Tho legislation by this I association does provide necessary ma? chinery to secure tho collection of a tax, whether a Legislature is willing <>r not, and makes it a contract, so as to hu irropeulable.

The Plainfield Tragedy?The shooting of the two ohildron of Joseph Brown, of Plain Hold, Conn , by his son, a lad of twelve years, proves a shocking instance of juvenile depravi? ty. The children wore*at play during the absence of their parents, when the boy brooght a loaded gnn from the bed-room, saying b* wan going to kill some of them. Ho took doliborate aim, and fired at his infant brother, who was only two feet divtaut. The little one was fearfully mangled. A little girl, in whose lap the babe was sitting, was also struck iu ibu fuoe aud shoulders, a ball passing through her oheeks, cutting her tongue and knock? ing out two teeth, while several lodged in ber fuoe and neck. As soon as the deed had been done, she laid the dying babe on (he lounge and bade Qeorge ruu to the village fur his mother. The boy went; but instead of telliug of tho affair, remained with her until evening, when both parents and himself returned homo. Stretohed upon the lounge lay the ghastly corpse of the babe; crouching in thu corner was tbo wounded girl, who had pre? pared a rude bandage for herself, aud for five hours she bad borne indescrib? able pain from her wounds. Thu boy acknowledged his guilt, and said he was only iu fun, and did uot menu to kill the children.

Nov8fl3 Is Stimulation Necessary??This qnes'ion is practically answered in the affirmative by thousands of physicians every day. Sometimes they proscribe the ordinary forms of alcohol; some? times tinctures which uro pimply infe? rior alcohol, more or less medicated; but no small proportion of the faculty give the prefereuce to Hostetter's Sto- j mach Bitters, us the most carefully j prepared medicinal stimulant at pre? sent known. It is impossible for pre? judice itself to be bliud to the marked success with which this extraordinary touio and alterative has been adminis? tered in oases of dyspepsia during the last twenty years. If it were ponsiblo to canvass tho wholu couutry for canes iu which it had effected a cure of tins obstinate and agonizing disease, they would number millions. No wouder, then, that it has become a standard 1 medicine in every State, city, town j und village in the Uuited States, and j that names, the most distinguished ill literature, art and science, are the vouchers for its remarkable properties. The immense manufactory at Pitts? burgh, with its extensive storehouses,! is the largest establishment of the kind in this couutry, and probably in the world. The amount of manual labor employed in the preparation of the Hitters, to say nothing of thu uteam driven muohinery, is greater than that of any other proprietary medicine es? tablishment on this continent, uud, by the biKssiug of Provideuco, the bene? ficial results of this unequalled tonio aud alterative are co extensive with Its continually increasing Bales. It is the household touio of thu American people, und in ull human probability will be ho for centuries to come.

Oue of the young Indies, l ou reuobing the oily, informed her two j brothers of tho affair. The youug gen I tlemen immediately set out and soon , mot up with tho quartette of drum? mers. One of thu brothers uskod the fellows what tboy meant by their con I duct, whereupon one of them made un I insulting reply. Tho brother imme? diately floored biui with a blow from l bis fist, and treated another to a simi? lar dose. Another of the drummers ! thou advanced upon tho young gen ' tlumau, when the other brother brought hitn to the ground with a htick. The fourth drummer fled. The party will doubtless be more careful in the future, and learn not to insult i young ladies. i Augusta Chronicle wul Sentinel. *? ? - All natnre now bespeaks the close of tbo year: "And darker shadows kisy the stars And mount upon the shining b.irs Of niltuinn*n waning light; Wtnle gu-<ts of mournful music break Kiom hollow winds that stir and hbuke ?jThu Hounding halle of night."
