Legislative.
The legislative bill to proride for the
pay .of members aud attaohees of the
(5boWal Assembly, as it first want from
the Senate, appropriated $150,000 for
this pnrpose, and fixed the Honse con?
tingent foud{ hi #15.000, and that of
the Senate at $10,000. In the House,
it was oat down t? ?130,000, and the
contingent funds respectively to $3,000
and ?2,000. Upon being returned to
tba Hanate, it refafaed to concur in the
reduction of the general umount, as
also in that of the Senate ob n tin gent.
A committee of conference, appointed
yesterday morning, to harmonize these
differences, resulted in failure. A
committee of free conference was next
raised, and recommended that the
House should .recede from its
amendments. Upon tbis being re?
ported to the House, the Speaker
/ruled that the effect would be the
same, whether the House agreed
to it or not. It would become law in
-either case. Mr. Wallace, of Union,
moved that the House refuse to adopt
the report, and thus throw the whole
responsibility for the proposed und
unnecessary increase of sumB appro?
priated above what it had voted for,
<s?9& the Senate. Mr. Trenholm, of
Charleston, approved of the motion,
ot*ting that the sum agreed upon in
t the Aouse was $20 for each member;
? while that contemplated by the Senate
-would e?o*l $200 for each. Mr. Cur
? 4?sr of .Bichland, who was on the Con
?ference Committee, argued that tho
'-HoDBe-shoald agree to the demand of
-the Senate, upon tho ground that it
knew its affaire best, and oonld best
. jadge what it needed. Mr. Boston, of
?ewberry, thought likewise. The
House disagreed to thereoommandation
? of.the Conference Committee, by a vote
<*?T ayes SI, nays 71. The reform and
conservative tendency of the House
stands iu this matter in fine contrast
.with the grasping and extravagant dis
?-posriion of the Senate. The second
jectton of the bill, which has been
concurred iu by both branches of the
Oeneral Assembly, is plainly unconsti?
tutional. It makes the pay of mem?
bers 8600, under oover of the Aot of
March 13, 1872. Unless it should
'meet the veto of the Exeoutive, it will
cause some trouble yet, and certainly
give di8satisfaotion to the people, who
would like the professed reformers
%vhom they have sent here neither to
infringe tho Constitution, which they
have sworn to support, nor to make
themselves an exoeption to the role of
-economy, retrenchment and reform,
'which the; claim the oredit of having
'-adopted.
Since writing the above, the Oo
veruor has signed the bill, accompa?
nied bj a message, pointing out its de?
feats, both in substance and form.

The Law of LuriUturd and Tenant.
A bill iu reference to landlords and
*snantsi the purpose of which is to
,give the landlord his proper redress,
when the teuaut refuses to pay, by a
!ees expensive process than now pre?
vails, received its seoond reading in
tfbe House of Bepresontatives, yester?
day, and was ordered to be engrossed
lot a third reading. Iu view of its ne?
cessity, ae frequently demonstrated in
this city and in other parts of the
State, within the last twelve months,
we reprodaoe the addition to the
statute as proposed in the bill, and
?hieb has passed the second reading.
Important amendments were offered
to> it as it came from the committee by
oar young represuutatives, John T.
Sloan, Jr., of Eichland, and Joseph
W. Barnwell, of Charleston. Mr.
Sloaa clearly explained the proseut
cumbrous and expensive proceedings
necessary to be gone through with
before a landlord coald reoover posses?
sion of premises, for which tho ten?
ant might negleot or refuse to pay.
The bill, which originated with Mr.
Wm. Simons, one of our Biohland
Representatives, und whose objects
have been promoted by the amend?
ments and explanations of Mr. Sloan,
is a very good ono, and wo are pleased
to see that it is io a fair way of being
enaoted into law. Chapter LXXXEV
of Title I, Fart II, of the Qenoral
Statutes is amendod as follows at tho
cad of the 15th Section:
"But when any tenant, holding any
lands, tenements or hereditaments,
ander either written or parol lease,
.shall neglect or refaao to pay the rent
reserved at the timo the same beoomec
<f ae, the landlord may recover possos
-sion of the demised promises, on proof
of snob rent boing due and in arroar,
and of saoh negleot or refusal to pay
the same, by judgment of a Trial Just
tfco, or by judgment of theiGeArt of
Common Pleas, When the amount of
saoh rent exceeds $100, with costs, to
be levied of the goods nod chattels of
suoh tenant. And any Constable or
Sheriff to whom the execution .upon
Buch judgment is directed, shall pro?
ceed to:"fcxeouta the- name, in the same
manner as other judgments and as
Xits of hebere faciae-posaessionein are
eouted in this State, within ten days
from the date of receiving the same."

A Reasonable llrqaent of Charleston.
The Charleston Chamber of Com?
merce has forwarded a memorial to
Congress, asking the appropriation of
8100,000 for Improvement and deepen
ing tho bar of Charleston. Only
$18,000 wus appropriated at the lust
session, but the city went ahead, and
from its own resources put a powerful
steam dredgo at work, with grutifyiug
and promising results. The preju?
dices which may have operated against
extending aid to Charleston, have, in
a large measure, died out, aud, it is to
be hoped, will no longer be a bar to it:;
just share of uationul aid in the uc
oompliskment of an object whu.io
beneficial effects will exteud beyond j
looal bounds. It is slated that since
the origin of the Government Georgia
has received $321,023 and North Caro?
lina $740,377 for improvement of their
rivers and harbors, while South Caro?
lina has had only $88,254. This was
disorimination not sc much iu favor of
our sister States, which only received
their due share of attention, but
against South Carolina. Whatever
may have beon the obstacles in
tho way of her receiviug pro?
portionate aid, it is time, certainly,
that they should be overcome. The
majority in Congress ought to feel in?
terested in the State because of its
political complexion, and the Con?
servative minority will no doubt he
ready to assist in this matter for better
reasons, and bocause the Conservative
minority of the citizens rely upou their
co-operation in procuring the needed
aid. There are cogent reasons of a
general character why the appropria?
tion should be mudo. Charleston, as
the News and Courier justly says,
"Is the moat important city on the
South Atlantic coast, and whatever
cheapens and quickens communication
with her, as dredging out the bur will
certainly do, is un advantage to the
commerce of the whole oouutry. In
like manner, the procuring of a depth
of water enflioient to admit of the en
tranoo of the largest vessels, at any
state of the tide, would lead to> the
connection of Charleston with Europe,
by direot steamship lines, which, on
their outward trip, would carry the
cotton and naval Btores of the South,
and, in return, bring haok tho immi?
grants whom the South aud West cull
for, and the manufactured artioles they
require. The proposition to niuke
Chariot ton a port of entry for tho
Texas immigrants could then be
promptly pot in shape."
The Southern ItallroaU to the i'aeific.
A momorial in behalf of the Texas
and Pacific and tho Atlantic and Pa?
cific Railway Companies, Bi'gued by
Thomas A. Soott and A. Pierce, as
the Presidents of these corporations,
was presented to Congress on the 9th
iuBt. From the arguments used in be?
half of the bill, we take the following:
They say a Southern trunk line of
railroad to the Pacific is a necessity,
and ite construction should bo insured
by the Government as a practical
means of settling the Indian question
and enabling its vast territories to be
safely inhabited und developed. The
oompletion of this line would, it is
claimed, enable the Government to
movo troops cheaply aud rapidly, dis?
pense with probably three-fourths of
these escorts employed in Texas aud
the Southern Territories, und thus re?
lease the Government un expenditure
umoi ntiug to millions of dollars yearly;
and it would, moreover, be of immeu.se
advautago to tho nation "by bringing
into market hundreds of millions of
acres of good laud which are now dead
property to the United States; by add- I
ing millions of population to tho pre?
sent uuinber of producers and tax?
payers of the country; by more thau
doubling, or, indued, indefinitely in?
creasing tho anunul yield uf precious
motals in the United Status; by a vast
increase in our revenues to ho derived I
from importations from Asiatic couu-1
tries; by tho general stimulus nud
trade in all the Statos East of the Mis?
sissippi to supply tho wants of tho ??t
tlers in the near regions tu bo tra?
versed by tho road; aud by all that di?
versified good iu tho pursuit of which
England, France, Belgium, liolloud,
Russia and Austria have spont such
enormous sums of money, pledgod \
without stint to their public credit,
and found their reward in tho control:
of the commerce and trade of the
world." It is further argued that tho I
construction of this open highway, un-!
obstructed by snows during the entire 1
year, acroBS the continent, would prove
to be a practical measure of recon-J
strootion for tho South, and that the ;
increased yield of cotton and tohucoo
from the newly-developod country
would Bwell tho value of our exports,
and thus aid materially in the reten?
tion of our gold and silver for homo
oiroulation. The memorialists say, iu
conclusion, that they do not purpose
I to besieg? Congress by personal pres?
sure and solicitation, but to rely confi?
dently on the menta of the case as now
1 presented.
Not Gbactouslt Done.?Governor
Gbumberlain felt compelled to sign the
appropriation bill, yesterday?con?
trary to his better judgment. The
following are his reasons:
Executive Ohamder,
Columbia; December 22, 1874.
Gentlemen of the Senate and
House of Rei'iiksentativbs: I have
this day approved the following Act:
"An Act to make appropriation for
tbe payment of the Hillary and mileage
of the members of tbe Genend Assem?
bly and the salaries of tbe subordinate
officers and employees and other ex?
penses incidental thereto;"
In affixing my official approval tu
this Act, I feel compelled to state to
your honorable bodies Mutt I have had
grave doubts respecting my duty in
tho premises. The mode iu which the
Act was lin.illy passed, under the ope?
ration of the joint rules of tbe two
houses, is spggt stive of mote lhau cue
difficulty of a legal and constitutional'
naturo. The Act iu its present form j
has been distinctly und decisively dis-:
approved by one house. Ita dual pus-1
sage is due wholly to a joint ruin of I
tbe General Assembly. I cannot at
tbe present time euter upon a discus?
sion of tbe legal tffeel of Ibid fact,
bat it is easy to ?es how grave are the j
questions involved uud with what I
lucility such a rule msy be used to de?
feat the will of one or the other house
of tbe General Assembly.
Again, whoever will inform bioiself
upon the subject will be satisfied that
the tax of ouo mill on the dollar,
levied to meet appropriations for legis?
lative expenses for the present risen!
year, cannot produce more than 3110,
000 or $115,000. The amount appro?
priated by the Act is, therefore, iu ex?
cess of the means provided to meet the
appropriation, aud one of thu prime
requisites of good administration is
thus early set aside.
Again, the old evil of appropriating
a gross amount to meet contingent or
incidental expenses re-appears. There
are, so far as I am able to judge, no
expenses of thu General Assembly
which are properly contingent. Every
item of legitimate expenditure is capa?
ble of being ascertained in dollars and
cents, aud no oooasion exists for mak?
ing an appropriation in advance of a
ktiow ledge of the exact amount needed
to meet such expeuaes.
Lastly, iu the mode of payment pro?
vided iu Sectious 2 und 3 of the Act,
the proper safeguards, in my judg?
ment, are omitted. What 1 deem these
to be, I have indicated iu my inaugural
address before your houorable bodies.
1 greatly regret, in the interest of good
administration, that your honorable
bodies have not provided a mode of
payment which is, in my judgment,
conformable to a sound und sale prac?
tice.
Having thus briefly poiuted out the
features of this Act which seem to me
objectionable, 1 acknowledge with gra?
titude the many features of the Act
which stamp it with au honorable su?
periority over our recent appropriation
Acts. Galled upon, as I urn, to act in
view of what is practicable and attain?
able, with only a brief time in which
to reflect upon my duty, unless I sub?
ject the members of your honorable
bodies to eerious personal iuoouveui
enco, and especially iu view of the very
great improvement in this Act upon
former similar Acts, I have reluctantly
deoided to give the Act my official
sanction.
D. H. CHAMBERLAIN,
Governor.
There is a principle of good in
things evil. The scene at the morgue
iu New York, where the dead bodies of
Mosber and Douglas were exposed, has !
an element of pathos in it which the |
brutality of their lives rem'- s greater
by contrast. The wife of Mother is
said to be us bad as thu dead burglar
ever was, aud yet, when she fell upon
the remains and kissed them, one is
remiuded of Nancy Sykes und Hill.
It is true, the womao iu real life dis?
played, even in her weakness, the
tigress. At war with society, she was
disposed to defy law to the lust. AI! t
the logic in the world will never con?
vince her that tier husband was killed
justly?but that he took his chances
and lost them.
j
Arkansas politics already rival in iu- I
tricacy the Schleswig-Holstein ques?
tion. A new clement is to be added to j
their confusion by the p.irlisuus of
Smith dropping him und taking up
Brook?*. The arguments, by which I
tb?y prove, that after all, Brooks is toe j
only real Goveruor-eleet of the State,
do not carry u heavy ioad o: convic?
tion to their friends iu Congress.
There ure reminiscences of similar
urguments from tho sime source about
Baxter aud Smith; and all three cau
not bo the Governor at once. Ar?
kansas is iu a fuir way to be severely
let alone.
