THE VOTE IN THE House on the
proposition to make four counties
out of Charleston and Colleton was
very close. How the bill would
fare in 0 full house cannot be
foretold. Whether Colleton shonld
be div4ed or not may be a matter
of doubt, but no question should be
raised as to Charleston. It cannot
be divided too quickly.
TuE GovERNoR has approved an
not to prevent public officers from
issuing checks except for funds
actually in their possession. The
text is not given; but from its
title it would appear that all officials
are included. He has also approv.
ed an act granting aid to the State
Agricultural and Mechanical Society
-to what amount is not stated.
WE ARE INFORMED by Colonel
Rion, the member of the National
Democratic Committee from South
Carolina, that the Committee do
not regard the silver question as in
any way a party matter; and that
the report that the meeting of the
Committee, to be held at Washing
ton on the 22nd inst., was for the
purpose of considering the silver
question, is not true. The meeting
to be ,held on that day was appoint
ed last March, and this meeting has
been postponed to the 22nd of May
next. This of itself shows the
report to be entirely without founda
tion.
YSTqRDAY WAS THE anniversary of
Washington's birthday. Before the
war it was celebrated with great
pomp and parade everywhere, but
sinee then its glo ry has diminished.
Charleston, however, still clings to
the uiniorg 'of the Father of his
Country ; and the military and civic
display yesterday was mnost im
posing. Governor Hampton, Gen.
Fitz Lee, Geni. Bradley T. Johnson
und other celebrities were present.
The only obagrvance of the day in
Winnsboro was the closing of the
Bank. Everything went on just as
if there had been no Washington.
Thus does the dead p~ast bury its
dead.
rEOW'LE MAY BE under the pleasing
delusion that the acceptance oftbe
Consolidation Act will leave a total
debt of only $5,965,000. This is ain
errer, -unfortunately. The ' out
standing consolidation coupons and~
bonanza warrants reach $1,049,629.
Besides this there are proven bills
of the Bank of the State for' 4789,
179 and an unknown amount not
proven. The cheering intelligence
is also given that the liability - of
the State on account of the Savan,
nah and Charleston Railroad yill
not be reore than $765,000, with~
interest, fleaven knows how muely.
Then there are Spartanburg an'd
Union Itailroad bond . With a
funded debt of $6,965,000, a float
ing 'd#j of $1,785,000 and a con
tingent liability of $756,000, and
perhaps nidre, always "with inter
est," the Sige has no reason to feel
Purm.-proudc. Thep dog isn't so
dee do. fat after all.
