The executive committee of the Phila delphia Reform Association has e?lopHe<La. renolatlon to whleh tbey nfpM thai the ?jittVeqaired from the city, (oae milliqp dbQpra,) Cc proved, by levying a special nj of ten cent* on the hundred dollars of tax dbU property during' ths yean 1875 aad 187ft, ronftdhntthat the tax-payera of Phil adelphia' would gladly submit to this rather tbaa wlnpi the foilure of a eoawmorn tioa which has boen heralded no promi nently before the world. . IX THE SUPREME COURT, On the 20th lasfanf, the following order w*| made : It is ordered ttyat at the April tertn of the Court, commencing on the third Tuesday ol April next, the eauscs on the several circuits shall be called In the following order, and the time to be allrwsi to the "hearing of caus es from each circuit sh.ill be laJ&c day fixed for the commencement of the next, except as to the 5Hxth Circuit, to which shall be allow ed two days 4 Fifth Circuit, Tuesday April 21 ; Third Circuit.

It ED EMIT I ON OF FOR FEl TEDLAXDS. On th6 24th ultimo, "a bill to provide for the redemption of forfeiteJ lauds, upon cer tain conditions," ralif\n^tud bccame a law. Iu section 1st it is provllod that all lands forfaited to the State for non-payment ol taxes, and where tho titles to s:vid land*, under ihedaw, remain iu ihe State, may be redeemed by the owaer?, representative?, or hcira at law of said land.", within twelve months from the ratification of this act, up. on the payment of all taxes, costs and peu alties due and owingnpon the snin*. It is also provhlod in said sectlou that if the owners, representativcMnr heir to said Lands foil or negloct to redeem within twelve months from the ratification of the act, then, any judgement creditor, mortgagee jot othor person interested, may redeem In three fuatki liter the time *nUuwod to ownors. Loirs, or representatives, upon tbo same terms m is allewsJ thorn. " In section 23 it is provided that after the twelve months from ratification has clipped, the .county Auditor is to advertise all for feited lands unredeemed thirty days prior to sale, and it is also provided, that said lands ?hall not be sold for loss than thoir assessed value, at the time they became forfeited to the State ; the terms of said sale to be one third eash and balance in nne and two years, purchaser elects to pay all at onoe. *SCHOOL FUND APPROPRIATION. The State Superintendent of Edueatlon, Was made the apportionment of the appro priation for common school purposes. In aocordahcs with the provisions of the law this year, apportionment Is made up :n the basis of sohool attendance for the year en ding June 80, 1878, instead of the scholastic population, as has been heretofore the ease. Kershaw County is entitled to 6,718 dol lar* 60 cents: but on account of the tardiness of seme of the Cbunty treasurers, (our coun ty treasurer is not the of them) only two thirds of this amount has boon paid over. Tho bill providing for the appointment of Conkmiealoners to Invejtigato the alooholie ?nil furmcnted liquor traffic and manufac ture, hu pw?l the United 8t?M Senate by A vote of 2ft yea* to 21 My*. The op - petition te the bill, judging from the vote, mmm to hate been considerable. There-is apparently nothing Improper in thle nnrraeit of the National Government to obtain statistical Information In regard to 'the morel, industrial, hygienic and social question* involved in the manufacture, sale and ue of aleehiie and fermented beverages, - or in regard to efcy breach of industry* and commerce.

The Comptroller General has approved a large number of Applications for alwtement of taxes in this County, and numbers of ap plications aro still before him. As honest, square. Republican govcrn mcut, with every dollar economically drawn from th'e people and wIkI; administered for their interest, is the platform on which Tmk Uviox-lIsaALD proposes to atsud or Call. The former* of Illinois appear to l?c assum ing a po'itical organisation preparatory to the fall campaign. In three Cong;cssianal districts of the State conventions have been called for the purpose of nominating farmers' candidates for Cougross, and it is thought that similar action will be taken through out the State. Captain George Tupper, who was oen tencod to five years' imprisonment at the May. 1873, term of the Court jGenoml Ses sions for Richlaud county, for man-slaugh ter, and who has been incarcerated in the county jail sirce th:vt tituo hns had hit scn tenco commuted by the GoTernor. The sub?committee appointed recently liv the committee on Tensions to consider the claims of the survivors of the Mexican war for pensions, held a meeting, recently, and agreed to pcrfcct a bill to meet these coses. A bill is already pending wliich provides that the iurvivors of the Indian wars uud the war with Mexico shall a'l be placed on the same fooling as the soldiers of 1812, or the widows and orphans of such soldiers. The womnn suffrage movement appears to !>e making more progress in the West than m tUo Kast. Tho Iowa Senate, bus, by a vjic which lacked but ono of beiug uuaniui ous, adopted the House joint resolution for r. constitutional amendment giving women the right to voto. The West seems to be a favor ite threnIre^>r 'trying political and social experiments. It led tho way in the whole sale divot co business. The indications are that the centennial Appropriation jot> is done for, and the won der is what it begun for. The United States Senate flatly refbsos to voto tho SJ.OUO.OJO asked for by tho jobber* as ss entering wedge, ami the prospects for getti/.g 51 ,('00, 000 appropriated by the Legislature of Pen nsylvania seems also doubt fbl. The State Senate has passed a bill making the appro priation, but the watch dogs of tho House are growling about it, and say that no such sum sbould be taken from tho treasury, fot the simple roason that it js not there. So, if Philadelphia wants a celebration, she can celebrate. If she waul* to pUy the snob and entertain European roj-alty, she must pay for it. It is protty clear that neither Con gress nor the Pennsylvania Legislature will throw itself away on tho proposed shqw. The man who docs the daucing must pay the ftddlcr. Tbo cry from Now York, Philcdelphia, Boston, Chicago ami other biifinots centres U that there is more money than thcro is pro fitable inrestmeuts for. Woof the "rural districts" are luuglioJ nt becnuso we say there is need of an increaso of circulation. The New York DnfUtin says ?'the persistent cry in certain quarters for more currency sounds preposterous." Speaking only for the commercial interest at the Urge ccntres, the Bulletin says, gloomily : , The abundance, it need not he added is not an indication of a healthful condition of the business interests of tho country. It tells of widc-sproud stagnation, curtailment of mercantile operations, suspension of en terprise, uncertainty of tho present, and hesitation as to the future. And all this, too, when the ordinary oondilionsof a more healthful state of things were rarely more promising. It Is unnecessary to dwell on on the causcs which have led to this dead lock. In the United States Supreme Court seve ral eases are pending in the nature of a test as totlie obligation of Northern life insurance companies wltieh had agencies in tho South up to tho breaking out of the war. The oases are those ofthe heirs of par'.ic* who had effectod insurances on their lire* with the local agenoioa of certain Northern insurance companies. They had paid up promptly, and the heirs offer to |?ro re their ability and w.lingnesa to oontinue the annual payments which wero either refused by tha loc-vl agents or the said agent* had left tha Coufoderacy. Among the emiaeat council engaged in these cases ar? et-Justioe Curtis, Hon. Lyman Trtmint and den. Oarflcld, for tha insur ance coapaniee. The com pan lea have se cured titrable array of oounsel to maintain their causa, for if tha Supremo Court should decide agaiqst them they would probably be called on t? pay In hundreds of oases, iarol *.aga vary large amount.

The legislature has adjourned, and the members have, with but few exception**, returned to their lonf-deeerted homo?not perhaps, without some missgiring* u to their course during the session. It might hare been supposed that upon the adjournment of this body)? Cblimbk?especially in the vicinity of the State House?would have lost the busy look jyith which she has boasted for aeTcral months last past ; but it seems that the excitement ban not abated very materi ally. There are neores'of clerks, attachees, 1 kc,. who Lare as yet been unable to their money, and they still linger in and around the Cspttot. I deem it unnecessary to go into detail with reference to the measures adopted by the General Assembly, as I presume your road era will peruse the recently adopted law* in the columns of your paper. The contest for the mayoralty and other city offices grows greater each spproaching day. Tue Republican convention met la*t Monday evening, tod almost unanimously nominated the present incumbcnt, Maj* John Alexander, for mayor. The Con servatives, I learn, do not intend to interest themselves in the election, and therefore will make no nominal ions. A? a general thing our mcrchauts are driving a fair business, aud the complaiuts about "dull-times are not so frequent as they were last Fall. The weather is about as difficult to settle as the claims of the "attachecs." Yester day was uncomfortably warm and bright ; to-day it is mining, with heavy winds. From the display made upon tho streets yesterday, it would appear that military ardour is gushing out at tho small end of the horn. A company of militia paraicd yes terday afternoon with but sixteen men, and, one olKcer. It is announced that a second edition of l>r. La Ikirde's History of the South Caro lina College is now in press, and will be shortly published. It will embrace addi tional sketches and a life of the author, le tter. J. L. Reynolds, and promises to be an iutercating work. MORE ANON. THE FINANCIAL DISCUSSION. Hie discussion ef financial questions in tlie Senate seems likely to continue for soma time. The Senate is in no hurry. Mean time there is said to be much uucasiuess in business eirclcsin tho Northern cities, lest there be somothiug done to increase tho vol umo of currency. ' 'j X". V Jl1 ?

Colcmbia, March 20. 8onator Maxwell soys that he delivered the joint resolution directing the Attorney general to^prosecutc Parker with other acta and joint resolutions to the Governor at 6 P. M., on Tuesday, and got a receipt from Houston. It is said the press copy book in the Governor's office showed such receipt to have been given, and Maxwell exhibited tho receipt ou Thursday. It had been de manded from him, but ho refbsed to give it up. Moses, It is sold, holds Maxwell's cer tificate that the receipt he gave him as for a duplicate copy of the bill. A gentleman states that on Thursday he saw in the hall of the private secretary of the Governor a leaf which had been torn from the copy book and which contained this very receipt. The mystery of the transaction lies between Maxwell and Moses Parker is iu good mood. I The ring is in const emotion and is holding ittle caucuses*.

Tho Ira of Cans on & Brothers, wholesale merchants in Now Alba ny, wcing that tho panic waa developing in to a formidable mowter, and fearing an en tire break -up of their buaineao, gathered themselves together in council to discuss tho expediency of closing up their business un til after the crash had passed oror. To go on seemed utter?destruction ; bank notea were at a discount, and goods sunk I r.p~*.ar and y that It would ouae did not close. Ono mem ber of the Arm suggested that liberal adver tising wigbr float them through the troubled waters safely, and argued that the Tory dull ness of the times would be' the means of drawing special attention to their odvertiso rneut if they were happily constructed. This argument won nt last, and the other mem bers of tue firm gave Jtheir consent to make the trial. Accordingly a bargain was that evening ma le for one-half page of the next mornings daily paper. The advertisement contained the information that bills on cer tain banks that were at a discount would be received by this firm at par. The result was magical. Money poured into the lends of Messrs. Cannon a. Brothers in such lavish quantities that the panic passed by on the other side, while their less discerning neigh bors went to the wall by the doxens. They spent thousands of dollar* in advertising throughout the entire "linrd times," a pro ceeding which wns not only very profitable to them, but a.i absolute Iwsncfit to tho pub lic.
