Wi make, the following brief resume of their pro cgodiiJgs: 4.. _ . T HE L1KN LAW has been repealed by the Senate, w'd the bil sent to the House, where it will not encoun ter any serious opposition. This bill, nor before tho House, destroys the preferenci givfn to parti.es making' advances, and th< result wi II te felt very seriously at this tinu by both merchant aud planter. * # , EXTENSION TO TAX-PAYERS. *' r 1 ^ ?* ??(!inn **111 k, II is leareu mat nu rem e*wi.o?w.? "... ... granted. A joint resolution was offered bt Senator Uunn, giving tax-payers to Marcf 15, but objection was made and the resolu tiun went over. Aftorwarcb^ the Senatt Committee on Finance reported a bill iutro duced and : pigeon-holed six weeks ago, which authorized the Comptroller-General with the consent of the Governor, to give such extension as he might deem necessary This bill canrw have its three readings and b? -<igned by the Governor until after to day HSth.^when the penalty attaches. Our peo. pie cannot po-sibly pay their taxes by to-dav, for in our County, the Treasurer is allowed to use only oue receipt book at a time, aud -IL^PWJ.JU ? 1 consequently can not fill out uibre than a hun'dred^iitjd fifty per diem. It'will require at least one month hard work to collect the .tax in this County, and if the attempt is : made to ^ollect the penalty for non-payment, 'make a case, carry it before the Courts, and see if 20 per rent penalty can be extorted from thei/j because of their inability to pay, . .owing to the* short time,, five, days, allowed for the collection. No justice is in such a 1 - mL _ !., II.., _ J4_ fnm ' (hl'UUIt>,,il4>(M'lt[nii IA) WIICl'l it pciiiiujr iui uon-payincnt is an exceedingly doubtful legal question, even when ample time is given for the.payment of the tax prior to affixing the penalty, and much more doubtful does it.become, when only five days are allowed for* five thousand people tb pay their taxes in. TRIAL JUSTICES. Under the new apportionment Kershaw County is entitled to nine Trial Justices. Mr. C. Shiver has recently received the appointment of Trial Justice. Now is the time .for several more candidates for this honorable and d'stihguished position to make application. J ndge Sutherland and J. T.TruesI del have been continued in office. But alas! if Mr. WhittctnoreVbill, which we notice below, passes and bobomes a law,, the Trial Justices are apt to have a very hard time and uopay. Besides, to carry out the provisions.of the bill, will bring great odium ' upon them. Ilearkcn td Mr. Whittcmore's bill.concerning ^ THE POLL TAX. . ^ provides that if the poll tax is not paid .> within the timo presoribed by law, a penalty iof two dollars shall be added to each, ma'' Icing it three dollars altogether, besides nia^ king failure to pay a misdemeanor and pun. ishable with thirty days in County jails.? f Lists of .delinquents are to be made out and 6 given to the various Trial Justices, who shall proceed to " warrant" .the offenders, and s j. ? *' * ' jail ' them if they do not pay up. For this V service they are to receive no pay, but the Sheriff or other officers serving the wan-ant is to receive one dollar, payable by d^fendent, e in each case. What'a blessed thing it will ^ be to keep the Trial Justices busy collecting poll tax! And how much more satisfactory s to those who tfo pay, to see those who receive the beneht of their labors, made to fork up. ' The Senator from pTrlington is on the 1 right track. ISb ^ ' ' The enacting clause of the bill to abolish x w ^ the office of County Auditor and devolving ^ his duties upon the Clerk of the County, was stricken out on Saturday last. There are tjvo maov office seekers., in the party, to have made this bill a popular one and^we are pot surprised at its fate.. ^ Washington Correspondence. a WASHINOTQfr, January 11,1873. Although tRero is a great deal of work ibe^bre , Congress and the' fibre short, tfiirtgS e !prcgress as leisurely as though the session was to last six months; night sessions how>t ever, towards the close will expedite busi ncss somewhat. . J .. . ?' \ THE MAIl?TE6 have laid siege to Congress, and purpose ma' king the prohibition of liquor-selling a Na r tioual question. In pursuance of this idea, n the introduction of a bill by Senator. WiJson ( providing for a special commjssion to in. vestigatc and report upon the subject of restraining intemperance by legislative enactd uient was the first step in'the programme. Sumptuary laws have ever been obnoxious, r in this country. Even in tho land of l,steae dy habits." the Maine law has proven a failure, and although wc may ever so much deplore th^ ovils of intemperance, wc will hardly be'able to regulate the appetites or morals of the community by statute. If the proper f authorities will see that none but pure liquors, vinous or malt, ii sold, that coming L clearly within the provin'ce of legislation, a 3 a long step towards eradicating the evil re suits of tippling will have been taken, and 9 temperance be made easy; but the fiery j draughts of jwison which we imbibe with each glass, whether it be champagne or lager beer, creates a thirst for more, and ihe result e is, we aroa nation of hard drinkers. Sena tor Wilson is a safe and proper advocate of . this reform.. He cannot damage himself politically. as he has reached the highest goal of his ambition?the Vice Presidency?and B he has been a life temperance man in pref cept and practice, so because ''Old Heelt taps" has no mouth for the sperrits, we shall have no more cakes and die L> CHEAP PE.WAGOGCERY. The military capet-bag Senator from Mis" sif-bippi?Auies?feeling it incumbent on c hiui to get his name before the public, hit a happy thought and put it in the shape of a bill to ro-orgauize the army,- which pro vides in" effect; that negroes will havo the game opportunities for promotion in the thir" ty-six white regiments as they now. have in 0 the four negro regiments. Ames was a regular army, officer before he made himself Senator, and will no doubt receive the hearty thanks of his former comrades for this mark of his regard for tbem. Well, he 1 don't care much for the army, they arc not . making Senators iu Mississippi just now, and r the uegroea are, and that is just the difference. Although this bill is the logical se? qucnce of Radical teachings and practice, we ' shall 6nd considerable opposition to it from t those who mouth most of the "man and brother."

The-proceedings in the Credit Mobiler investigation for the coming week are expected to be very interesting. Judge Jere Black as counsel for McComb, is determined to .have the stock better, stock certificate book, and stock ledger of tho concern brought before the committee, and when this is done McComb has an avalanche of testimony that will completely overwhelm Ames and Alley and soil hitherto, unblemished reputations both in and out cf Congress. c.

Between the two. committees the Credit Mobilier will require a deal of whitewash to make it presentable BRIBERY IN KANSAS. The examination of Hon. Sydney Clark before the Committee investigating tho charges of bribery against Sonator'Caldwell, of Kansas, disclosed a nice condition of affairs in the politics of that State. Clark stated that Caldwell told him that his election cost him 175.000 in money and the Kansas Pacific Rail Road promised to pay part of the expenses which they have failed to do, but he (Caldwell) purposed squeezing it out or them when thoy came to Washington asking for Leglislation. Clarke told Cald well in answer to his question ''that ho w^s a very unreliable and dishonorable man." His investigation will show up how Senators are made aud Legislatures -bought. RUMORS FROM NEW ORLEANS. The receipt of the news here of the withdrawal of eight Kellogg Senators pnd their taking scatcs in the fusion 'Legislature and a a ? n the issuing or an address cnarging tjcn. Long9tieet and others with ' conspiracy created some considerable Sensation, especially as accompanied by-rumors that there is a jpospect of a compromise between the Pinchback and fusion Legislature on the condition that the .offices of. Governor and Lieutenant Governor, be given to McEnery and Penn while the other officers go to the Radicals. BANKING.

The work referred to ia Hostetter's Alma n&c for 1873 The medical portion of it treats of the various ailments to which the human system is subject, and sets forth the peculiar prop- . crties of Hostetter's Stomach flitters?the pu- I rest and best tonic known?as a preservative of health and strength, and as a remedy for debility and disease. The Almanac is printed in all the principal languages of the civilized world> and reaches a larger number offamilies and individuals than any other medical treatise that ever issued from the press. No man or woman who has due regard for that choicest of heaven'&blessings, bodily vigor, should fail to read the plain, simple and convincing articles which this truly practical publication contains.* The miscellaneous matter is varied, instructive and amusing, and the calendar department copious and comprehensive.

All is clear, explicit, forcible, and reconcilable with reason and common sense. The proprietors, Messrs.
