*We see nothing rn the discussion upon jtho Mr. j Paris QitahM proposing to levy ? tax of. two millo opon the people of EdgeQeld, for the benefit of persons discharged from em? ployment because of their having ex ercieed their political rights end privi? leges, which thrown any additional light upon the subject. There are no facts produced wbtoh sustain the alle? gation. There ie no statement made of tho number of persons thrown out of employment for this alleged cause. No; proof that so large ? 33m as ??,000 ?jvonld be required. Nor is there a oiugle reason given why the property ?d frith these laborers, who perhaps ?ever oa\7 or heard of them, ohbnld be takenkrom them for their use and bo bool. It it a bold, miked, uuauatained proposition to ceizo upon the property of the people of Edgofi?ld and give it <to illeli! 5 Dd tho efloot of anoh Bpo liatfiid of - property-holders, not only ?apdb them a* on injustice) and/Wrong, but upon.tho recipient? of the bounty as pn invitation to thrlftlessoess and depondonoo, harj evidently never en 'torcd the beads of those who oonoooted this' measure. No better plan could be fixed opon to generate end encourage a cliss of professional iuv.ziroui. Sooh ? bui, if adopted, would be a premium -upon - idleness, systematic discontent and -Vagrancy. 1 ItA * effect would sood spread beyond the limits of Edgefield, and embrace the whole Stabe. Pretended persecutions for po? litical opinions wonld become valuable etook iu trade, in which, instead of from their hdue^t labor, men would essay to make their living. It was well"; thoii, that tlie bill Was laid 00 tthe table.' Bub it is impossible to view *witoTany more favor, the motion made by Speaker Elliott in connection with the -^Barter, instructing the Judiciary Committee to ( ascertain if comb in a <tiocs, euoh as ?ru named in tho bill, oan be punished by existing laws; and if they cannot, to report,what (addition? al legislation is necessary to reaob them. There are no oombinntione re? ported to ^be Qeoetsl Assembly upon <7bioh.tho committeo oan tako there quired aotion. The fact that they are "?named" in the bill is hardly enough. Beaidoo, what right has the Legialu turo" of South Carolina to interfere with.: the relations of any classes of ?oitizono to eaoh other iu business? It would hardly undertake to dictate to bankers, merchants and manufaturers whom they shoold engage as clerks and assistants. No more should it presume to compel the laod-holders to employ any particular class. The merobant avails himself of the services of such persons as he thinks will ad vaoce his interests, and no one can question, or has ever questioned, bis right {n the premise. The right of the laud-holder is jiiot as oaorcd. If nofjwhynot? Why should he, more than any one else, bo required to give reasons for his conduct in the manage? ment of his business? Why should the idea be entertained that he alone otn be compelled to retain persons in his employment whom it may not suit him to keep? And why should any human being out of a mad house sup? pose that business arrangomsnts which are dictated and compelled can be pro? fitable and satisfactory to either em? ployer or employee? It is obvious enough to nny fair-minded raun that farmers* as weil as cserchants or bsck ?era, will seek, rather than refuse, the labor of tboao who have the will and oapaoity to advtnoe their business in? terests nod ;udd to thei- profits. The same instinct and judgment will in? fallibly lead, tbem to saver their con neotion with soph ss are unprofitable, as will not work faithfully, as are themselves' discontented and breed discontent wound them. Mr. Elliott's instrootiuus to the Judiciary Commit tee will engage them iu a very ques? tionable and unprofitable j inquiry. What are called eombicationis exist all over tho world and in all kinds of busi? ness.. Manufacturers combine to re? duce/prices of labor, or to ron on short time. Operativen combine to demand a certain fixed price, and sometime* to hinder others from tak? ing less./ Planters combine to plant more or lese cotton than usual. La? borers combine to ask higher wages for their work, end to induce otbora to join tbem in the demand. Why should combinations be regarded as political, ?od in an unfriendly light in one case, aad not iu all? But we are not de? fending unlawful or injurious combi? nations. We are tresting only of such onderetaudlngs between men and [vttgtroowitf tie ?ovm;iaro%Bor? ana mkammaTf. restraints npon which would violate tbe rights of the citizen, injure bias In Mb good*/ and work harm'to his proa^rHy. We tnlabt properly inquire ?bother a politlosj party, by ita uuoibera and organization 10 oheige of the great interests'of a State, baa a right to enter into combinations end arrangements to ezolude from offices of power, trnat aod profit, those j citizens who do not boloiig to it, and may not ohooso to oo-oporate with it? Bat nothing is so common as this? We know well what it Ib in South Carolina. Yet the right is exercised by a less just tenure than a similar right on the part of individual oiti Saus, should they ohoose to assert it. i The offices in the gift or ander the control of an administration, are nut tue property of party or clique, bat of the community at large. On the other hand, a farmer's land is his own territory, inherited from his ancestors, or bought from theprooeeds of bis labor, and no one oan control bim in reference to it any more than without process of law he oan enter the boose which is bis castle. Look at the history of the party tnisoalled Republican in this State for the last eeven years. It has used every posai bio devioe, exhausted all menus uf aleotions, appointments and combina? tions to keep down aod oat of public position the citizens who support the Government and pay the taxes, aud <jG3*ossed!y most oomp*t?nt, by train? ing, education, character aod atake in the oouutry, to manage publio affairs. It has doue this systematically, per? sistently, and, sometimes, raaoorously. It magnifies this praotioe as the nor oor-stone of its policy. It haB and olaima the distinction that whatever Us short-comings, whatever its lack of honesty and capacity, it has been partisan to the oore. It combines Jlwaye in its own interest and in the nterest of . ita adbereuts. We make Qu complaints about it. We are only using it aa an illustration. We say that, when we reeall this history, when we look .upon those iu the publio service, w'wen we Bee practically car? ried out not only thoexolueiou from it, bat the ostraoism of the most reputa? ble aod capable citizens of a whole oommonwealtb for.a long term of years, throagb party and race combi? nations, und tho principle npon which it is dono cherished as a distinction and merit above all others, it is idle for Speaker Elliott to seek cause* of offence in tho plantiug interest, in tho steps they take to maintain their self respeot aud the peace of their homes. They bat exercise the rights of freemen iu doterminiog whom and bow many laborers they will or oan employ. TUB STATE LStHilliATUUt';. Tuesday, January 19, 1875. SENATE.

A Royal Okoan.?The stomach has been well named a "royal organ," since it sways and controls the entire system, every gland, tissue snd nerve sympathizing with it as the servants of a prince sympathize with their master. Euch one of them is fed aud sustained by it?even the brain itself, the oentre of sensation, is absolutely dependent upou it for sustenance. Consequently, when the stomach fails to purform its ull important office, the subordinate organs also falter in their duty. The reason why Hostetter's Stomach Bit? ters have such wondroosly beneficial effect upou the general health, and are such a reliable preventive of disease, is, that they .speedily overcome weak? ness or disorders of the stomach, and thus insure complete nourishment of the entire system and a healthful per? formance of its various functions. Unlike those stimulants whose uloo holio principle is unmodified by judi? cious medication, the spirituous basis of these Hitters, which is of the purest description, holds in solution herbal alteratives und invigornuts to wbicb a foremost runk ban been assigned in mutoriu inedica. But it is not alone the fact that those sovereign botauic elemeuts enter into the composition of the Bitters that constitutes them suoh a benign tonic and oorreotive, but also that they are so happily combined that the full effect of each in exerted upon the disordered or debil:tated system. I I'bo digestive and secretive organs are the first to experience their beneficent operatioD, which extends, by sympa? thy, to the bruin, the nervee aud the circulation.

What a de? lightful country for tourists to investi? gate! Ab, Arcadiaa are rart I "Dib tauce lends enchantment to tbe view." On closer inspection, those fields, bo fair from some lofty height, are "old fl-ld," or poorly-tilled cotton or corn fields, or perbapa broom-sedge, weeds and briars. Those splendid groves are worthless pines. Here are dilapt dated fences, nupsinted buildings and no greeu velvet lawns, (unfortunately, the latter almost an impossibility ) Instead of Cuttle upon a thousand hill?, there are thousands of hills with no cattle at all. Like a huh in tbe centre of the State, this beautiful little city has railroads radiating toall parts of tbe State and beyoBd her borders. With a water power sufficient to turn millions of spindles to munufactnie the cotton c^utreing hare; with miles of canal, a race-way already construct? ed, it turns a single grist mill and pumps water to a small reservoir on Arsenal Hill Practically it is locked up, aud (be key m Rhode Island There is undeniably some unproduc? tive laud in this Stute, but there is a vast area that will compare favorably with the North or West.

There are in sight of this city bottom lauds in natural fertility equal to the Wal hi 11 or Mohawk Valleys, waiting purchasers ot $5 to 810 per acre, in? cluding improvements, and a better market for all productions than any at tbe North, particularly for hay. Large land-holders offer to subdivide their lauds, and sell for $1 each alternate farms to energetic men with means to improve them. What is tbe reason present proprietors do not thrive? Want of will, skill and money. It was a stunning blow to be at onco de? prived of everything but their real estate, and a palsy of debt on that, perhaps. Bad government is tbe rea eon given here. Miserable govern? ment, indeed, to paralyze a whole peo? ple. But a brighter day is dawning. A better government was inaugurated with tbe inaugural of Gov.

We want 5,000 meobanics and manufacturers to build bouses, mills and machinery. With tbe best timber for furniture, wagons, osrriages, agricultural implements and household wooden-ware, all, or nearly all, come from some other State. There is a fortune here for some broom - maker. We want 10,000 energetic farmers to buy these ehs&p. good lauds, and by skill and improved im? plements make tbem model farms, aud drive out of the State or into tbe fire plows patented in the days of Romu? lus. We want better fruit, and more of it, and a better cultivation of every? thing. We want more schools and Bchool teachers. We want 50,000 good books to drive out tho 100,000 dime novels. Within the first are apples of gold; in the other, corruption, do banchery, theft, murder. We want 50,000 copies and more of the Weekly Times, with its well-written or selected articles and news, and whole ample page of oboioe agricultural instruction, alone worth double its cost. When this beautiful country is developed as it should be and will be, then this cen? tral city of 10,000 will double and quadruple its inhabitants, and the whole laud be a delight to dwell in.

Ska I Weed Tunic and Mandrake Pixm.? I These, deservedly celebrated end popix lar medicines have effected a revolu? tion iu tbe healing art, and' proved the fallacy of several maxims Which have for many years obstructed tbe progress of medical science. The' false supposition that, "Consumption is incurable," deterred phyaicaus from' attempting to find remedies for that diseabc, and patients afflicted with it reconciled themselves to death without making au effort to escape from a doom which they supposed to bo ana voidable. It is now'proved, however, i that Consumption can be cured, and that lit has been cured in a very great' num? ber of CHses (some of them apparently ' desperate ones) by Schenbk'a Pulmo nio Syrup alone; and iu other oases, by I tbe same medicine in oonneotidn with' i Scbenok's Sea Weed Tonio and Man? drake Pills, one or both, according to tbe requirements of 'the cafe. '' Dr. Sobenck, himself, who, enjoyed uninterrupted good health for more than forty years, was supposed, at one time to be at the very gate of death, his physicians having pronoanoed his case hopeless, and abandoned' bivd to his fate. He was cured by the afore? said medicines, and, since his recovery, mauy thousands similarly affected have used Dr. Schenek's preparations with the same remarkable success. Full directions accompany eaoh, making it uot absolutely necessary to personally see Dr. Schenek, unless pa? tients wish their longs examined, and for this purpose he is professionally at bis prinoipal office, corner Sixth end Arch streets, Philadelphia, every Mon? day, where all letters for advice must be addressed.
