W^n^aay 167?. ?c?.ctt?? ?f H?l?rl... The Hooso of Rsproaeototiv*s ia en gaged in considering a bill to fix and reduce the salaries of certain public officers. It ia intended to go into ef i f eo x u pon the expiration of" the Incum? bency of the present officers. It ia good as far as it goes, and in some di? rections, perhaps, goes far enongh. Bnt we see no diminution of offices in it, and it ought to be supplemented by ?nother bill, wbioh would largely re? duce legislative expenses and the oost to the. State of the members them? selves. . This might be effected by re? ducing the number of days of the session; ssy to forty and making the per dies compensation liberal, sBy from S6 to 310 a day. This would save the State the sum of $200 for eaoh ^asssbe?. or an ?2S*?*2*to of 839,000, and the time allowed for tho session would be ample for whatever good and necessary legislation may be required. This arrangement would tend to ex? clude jobs. The field would be n?ir-' rc^ed and1 the time limited v.-it hi a ?which legislative rings could be formed and operate. We were pleased to no? tice that, upon a motion to strike out the enacting elause of tho bill on Mon? day, Col. J. W. Livingston, of Ooonee, came to tho front to defend tbo ob? jects of the bill. It was bis first speech of the session, but beiog ai?t?iy, u??d?d ??u tu ilia p?i?i, hud a 'desired effect, and the notion to strike oat was withdrawn. -He cbaraoteriaad the multiplioation of offloee and tbo unnecessary inorease in salaries as one of the greatest errore in modern M?islati?n, tending lament? ably to the injury of the public aer-I vvioe. It was the teaching of political i ??leouomJlate, aud an axiom in represen? tative governments, that as you in oreeee the fees of offioe, you oreate an undue desire to eeoare office; and that as you thereby lessen tho probabilittee ?of aaouring honest and competent offi jials, yon open wider the doors of fraud aoi corruption. To pay these numerous ofluaials, taxea had to be largely increased. This was one of the prime eanees of the depopulation of tbo older States, abd anlese checked, would eventually end ia their bank? ruptcy and rain. Thfe general princi? ple, applicable to so many other Statee, had a peculiar application to South Caroline, owing to its extrava gaaoe and oorroption in the recent peat. The exoees of over f170.000 ex? penditure above the reoeipts from taxe/<, could only be met by the pro? posed reduction of salaries and all other expanses of the State Govern? ment. He oonolodud with a com? mendatory reference to the reform views of the Governor, and hoped that the Legislature would not be back? ward to second them, but would, like him, seek to fulfill their pledges of re? trenchment and reform. As we have said, opposition to the bill was headed off bj this sound and earnest presenta? tion of the necessity of action. It waa a word in season. Yesterday, the dis? cussion, which excites a lively interest, was continued to the honr of adjourn? ment. _ '_ l f ejiaufcacx us tn? Air. In response to the resolution of the Senate*.*aking for information relative to affairs iu Arkansas, the President goee out of , the way to express his opinion, that Brooke wae elected Go? vernor In 1672, and to characterise the new Constitution as the result of violence, intimidation and revolution? ary proceedings. He gone still further and makes tbe dangerous and uncalled for soggeation, that all this action must be overturned. Iu his desire to make oat a case against Arkansas, he disregurde hie own previous declara? tions and policy, aod prates about the "rights of minorities." The President I and his party, which, fortunately, i9 no longer tbo same as tho Republican party, mean to hold power at all baaerds, and at every opportunity invent or make occasion for violent proceedings . towards the Son them States. Tbe purpose to rale or ruin, or rather to rale a ad ruin, is hardly veiled any longer. The oloven foot ia peephig oat. Another onslaught on the South, in order to perpetuate party rule and ieonre as' many Presi? dential'terms as may be desired, and all in tbe 'uaaee H "stability of go verament,'a?<|^S-igbUof minorities," ia plainly tb if program me of the ad mia^tiooa^vy^aot Grant. ' Out. Aa we remember the matter, and aa shown by Mr. Josopbus Woodruff, in his letter to Senator le General Assembly . entered contract wilU the Republican 1 ig Company, oil tbe 10:hduyof tbe present session, to do certain spe? cified pnblio printing, for two years, fo. 850,060 a year. The proceeds of the tax levied to pay it may not amount to moro than 810,000, but tbe sum will be the no lers (lac, and have to be provided for. It will oome again, iqstho shape of a deflqieuoy or claim. There is another point where we Beo that a reduction can be moro justly male. The $12,800 wbioh it is pro? posed to appropriate for beneficiary atodents in tbe University gives very little satisfaction, and can well bo dis? pensed with. The prinoiplo upou wbioh it is based is wrong, the snin out of all reason, tho good to be uc GoznpMshed by ;t cert to nothing. Tho olausa should by all menus bo struck out. A Good Bill.?A bill, introduced by Chancellor Johnson, of Marion, to declare and nrntprt ihn rights of mar? ried women and children under poli? cies of insurance taken out for their benefit, passed its second reading in the House of Representatives, la.-1 Sa? turday, and will very likely beoomo a j law. It provides: "That if a polioy of insnranoe opon tbe life of any person wbioh has al? ready or may hereafter be taken oat, in wbioh it is expressed to be for the benefit of any married woman, or for ] tbe benefit of herself and ber children, or for the benefit of herself and tbe| I obildren of her hasband,, whether pro I cured by herself or ber hasband, shall enure to the nee and benefit of the person or persons for whose ose and I benefit it is expressed ta be taken out, land the Bum or net amount of tbe in |snranee becoming dae and payable, by the terms of tbe policy, shall be payable to the person or persons, for whose nse and benefit it shsll be ex? pressed to be taked, free and dis? charged from tbe claims of the repre? sentatives of the hasband, or any of , his creditors, or any party or parties | claiming by, through or ander him or them, or either of them: Provided, however, That if the premium paid in any one year oat of tbe property or foods of the hasband shall exceed the sum of $300, the exemption from tbe elaims of the creditors of tho husband shall not apply to so mach of ssid pre? mium paid aa shall be in exoeas of | $500; bat suoh excess, with tbe in* terest thereon, or so mach thereof as | maybe necessary, shall enure to the benefit of snob creditors, if any: Pro j vided. The same be necessary for their I payment." -???-? Mb. Editor: In your issue of tho 4th inst., we notice a futile effort on tbe part of Rambler (a whiskey drum? mer) to ridicule "L-xmgton City," by describing "his adveut &a." Arriv? ing at 4 in the morning, be seems straok with the deserted appearance of the place, aud at ouoo inakes it u happy illustration of the "poem of tho Deserted Village"?a suitable time for a simpleton to make a simile; a time, too, when his own native city (Frog Ltevel) would have answered as well. After an ineffectual attampt of a half hour to find a bouse to suit his fume, as we suppose, he stops nt the hotel, whi t o he finds tho old man, who an? swers his calls, to be tbe host, und where his mouth is made to "water" opou seeiog the old man take his! usui! glass of sarsaparilla. At this1 stage, bo becomes impatient, and fail? ing to bear bis host invite him "to join," or to say, "here goes," he cou olades that tho inuooent old man is d?d unsocial, thus betraying the vile Eroolivities of his unooutb uatare. [ad be felt an Interest in ihe business he (mis)represents, it seems be should have seized this opportunity to exhibit I his sample*; but, lol they had been already appropriated to his own thirsty cravings. We would suggest to his employer to increase the quantity of his samples. Instead of vials, give him bottles, that be may have some the whole trip round, and not be. an* noyed at tbe mere sight or gargling of a sarsaparilla bottle; and should he make hie second "advent" into our city," we hope he may arrive by day, that onr boys might meet him, and with their usnsl civility, show him the egg-battery and other little simple Lexington iassTatieas, and if he never returns to receive snoh courtesy, we hope he may still continue to indulge in his poetio similes, until he learns tbSt \ "All upstarts, iasolent in plsoe, Xleraiad as of thtir vnlgar raoe."

BT JUNltJS. The acquisition of any and every? thing nuder tbe sun requires labor? oiiber labor of the mitid or body. Tbis is a command imposed upon man. Says tbe Good Book, ^Thoa ehalt earn thy bread iu the sweat of thy faco." The people of Booth Carolina to-day are io aa emergency; that emergency in "bread and meat." There is no use in trying to deny it. It is upon you, and we empbaticslly say, "i'ho people mast go to. work, and go to work to rnaku it this year." j Fathers must touch their children, by precept and example, that tho great virtue, the power and tbe nccossity of the times, is only to be found of thai which bends this article, "Libor omniu vincU." The people of South Caroline, rnuet and should luurn to be independ? ent, not to bo dependent upon any other State for their meat und bread, their hay and the fertilizers upon their farms. It matters not where a people may live, whether on thy rich alluvial bottoms of the Mississippi or on the fertile soil of the grain growiug prairies of the great North west, u liin oi poiicy pursued by Ibeui us is pur sued in this State, will, woul l and must bankrupt, ruin und starto them eventually out. Show1 me a pcopli whose emoke-houses uro stuffed with bacon, nod whoho barns are tilled with grain, and I will hhow yon a poople who oannot and will not be affected by low-priced cotton, or high-priced gruiu and bacon. On the other haud, enow mo a people with lean, meatless smoke? houses and empty corn-cribH, aud I will show you a miserable, discontent? ed, poor, grumbling, good-for nothing set of wretobee, whose depeudout, poverty-strioken, destitute condition can und never will be reached or benefited by high-priced ootton or re? lieved by ths ?j?bt "?v?rabio iieua. The troth is, tho people have beeu oopperiog too much on three cards ? "credit, cotton and guano." To snob an extent have they ventured their lust bottom dollar, that they have nothing left bat Gothic 6truoturesof males and horses, together with their lands, and in nine oases oat of ten, these are pledged to some man or Arm, who have famished them with supplies to make their crop with. Yet, in tho face of all this lowly poverty, embarrass? ment and perplexity, wo read and ob? serve in newspapers?yes, newspapers, who pretend to give information? "that the acreage of cotton is loss and less, and that tbe people ure turning their attention to the planting ol grain." ??>?>? To His Excsllency Qov. Chamber? lain?D&am Sib: It is really refreshing to see that you really mean honesty and reform in tbe government of South Carolina. You have done moon; you can do more?much more. I well I remember your remark io the Tax Payers' Convention: "Onehonest man |oan pat a host of thieves to flight." Now tbe people of South Carolina t\<>k you to be that honest man. Your [soggestions to curtail tbe appropria i tions are admirable, and for fear you may forget it, allow me to suggest how you oan save, perhaps, $100.000 or $200,000 more. The outstanding claims against the State iu the shape of pay oertideateH, issued to John Djo and Richard H >o in, perhaps, $500, ? 000. More than ono-balf of them ought never to be paid, and why? Be cause the individuals iu whose favor | tbey nre drawn many of them wore never in the Stuto capitol more than ouco; and many have drawn pay aa committee clerks who can't rend; some for services rendered Uou^e of Kopie faontatives; some for labor; some, as porter*, and various other ways, most oi ihem at jive dollars per day. Think of it, committee clerks who can't read nor sign their namen, nor tell what committee they served on, and yet the honest people have to pay a special tax to feed suob rascality; and now if your Excellency wishes to save tho State a handsome sum, lot there be n I committee appointed?not of members of the Legislature ?who oan get in lormation as to the services of the| original patties to these papers, aud not allow one dollar, unless it oan be clearly established that the services were performed. This work can be 1 done and without any expense to the State. Io many of tbe Counties, too, there is a deficiency. Why? Beoaose claims are pot in, witbont number, for services rendered and prisoners fed and oared for, aod money advanced by certain offioiats, without regard to time, nnmber or place. All this fraud oould be overhanled and many thou eands saved to the State, if your Ex? cellency will take the bull by tbe horns, now that you have oommeooed. and olean oat the Augean stables.
