the end in a clear und distinct nianncr,

amazed, and thoroughly impressed with the
awful indemnity of the occasion.
After this, the Rev. (I. A. Hough made a

audible. He continued in prnycr until the

Of this amount $21,011 is ebaigeablc t?
the legislative expenses of 1373t74. The
amount appropriated by the act of March 0,
1874, for the payment of cmpljbjecs and
contingent expenses of the general (assembly
.was $112,000 1
The treasurer recently rcpojted that
vouchers
had
been presented lo him for
$140,321.4(1, and that he had pirti y paid up
on that amount. Sonic of the eh ims above
noted consist of balances unpi id on the
vouchers Fo presented. But tl c mass of
these passed claims arc additions tjo the over
reported by the treasurer. Of the
claims pn^Ty^WiMiii^^ fail
ed in the house?an equal amoMt belonged
to' the same class. It would, thSjercfore, ap
pear that the officers of the genr?hl assembly
of 1873 74 nuiBl have drawn waittrohts in cx

If not, can we have redress??ihion-llerald.
There are many inaccuracies in tho above
list, to our knowledge. Does^ the Unien
Hcttild really wnnf a complete list? And
is its knowledge so limited that it cannot
givo us u ?b( of claims paid (fit of the ten
thousand dollars, contingent fund of the
Senate. "Can any one interested give us a
complete list ?" Why, of coi rse they can,
if they will. Demand it, MrgEditor, and
perhaps you will get it. We Save heard of I

Wc know that few roadi in the South arc in
better condition to-day than the Greenville
Road. And bbthere ia a good deal of travel
from thin section on this roar/, we say to our
pleasure seekers and others who anticipate a
trip to the mountains this Summer, not to
let idle rumors, of perhaps interested parties,
alarm them. Wc guarrantce them a Bale

The Legislature-.
This body adjourned yesterday a week
ago, and all the members went home. Thir
ty-six acts of a public nature were passed by
a four months session. The work done how
ever, towards reform in the Government, is
of a nature to please the people. Wc will
revirw it in some future issue.
Three Masonic meetings held last week
and all the anti-masonic "better halves" in
a disperalely had humor. Our "better
half" mildly remonstrated with us, and the
result was a r.hort handled broom in the
house.?Merchant and Farmer.
We'll bet our Ja*,t quarter that it was a
long-handled "three string broom," and
hard ;o breakc, and it wasn't broken on our
contemporary's knee "nuther."
