COIT on Mondi tei dered ils rostgnation of the o0ice of Cmptroer 4General of this Stato, The Legislature. During the past week tie Legisla ture has been hard at work, and has considerably cleared the calendar, despite the daily Increase of a dozen or =i'e bills a day reported by thediffer eut committeg. A number of acts have been ratfided already, but they are not of general interest, or else have iot beeii suilolently reported to inforth the general reading public of their nature. The bill to prohibit dueling promises . to float triumplhantly through both houses, witkh-e proviso that it shall apply only to Offenees conmodtted after its passage. The old law required conviction of the offense of dueling as a pre-requisite of disfranchisement, but the proposed law compiels every officer elected or appointed in the State to make oath bimself that he has never partLicipatedIn a duel in any way, ,osides providing for conviction and punishrment; and in these days ef office seeking it is argued that a great check will he placd on the passions of ambitions men. The heaviest fight of the session has been in the House over the passage of the liquor license law. The bill al ready mentioned in those columns providing for a State license of a hun dred dollars was postponed till next session by a vote of fifty-seven to fifty five. The Charleston delegation op posed it alaost solidly, and Mr. Seegere, of Richland, said its passage would destroy the Democratic party. Other members opposed the bill on the - ground that liquor eelling li-a nuisance and crime that should not be sanction ed in any way. They favored total prohibition or nothing at all. Others opposed the bill because it gave the proceeds of the license to the State in stead of the couties. The following day Dr. Gary, of Abbeville, moved to reconsider the -vote killing the bill, and his resolution was adopted. A nrotion by Colonel Simonton to post pone the bill to the next session was lost, amid sone excitement, by a vote of 31 to 67. Mr. Murray then intro duced a substitute, framed to meet objections, and it passed a. second reading by a vote of 74 to 34. The motion to reconsider was tabled and the bill practically becomes a law. *The full text is kiven elsewhere. The feature 18 that it pernits tihe free sale of wine, eider and beer, and double taxes whiskey and other distilled liquors. Colonel Simnonton said hie was wilt ops foiioYlw . TItaf oaf is better' than no bread, and that by encouraging tihe substitution * of light beverages for whiskey many of the evils of drinking will be avoid ed. It is said that this bill will meet with little or no opposition in the Senate. During the dehates in the House a pietition of eight thousand ladies of Charleston, covering thirty yards of signatures, askinig for prlo Iuibitory legislation, was unrolled, as n'lso a petition ten feet long from ladies of Anderson. A fight, very amusing to outsiders siad very desperate between the par ties directly interested, has been wag ing ever sinco the beginning of the sessionl, over a bill to incorporate the Municipal Water Gas Company of Chiarleston. Th le Charleston Gas Comi pany now holds a monopoly, and Is fighting desperately to defeat the bill. Water gas Is made, we believe, by ex ti-acting the hydrogen gas of the water fromi superheated steam and thon comn bining It with illuminating substances such as llaphtha and gasoline. This is a very cheap process, but in its manu facture a large proportionl of carbonic oxide gas is generated. This gas is more p)oisonous even thah carbonic acid gas, It Is claimed, and on ihis the Charleston Gas Company makes the fight. Statistics of tihe number of peo plc suffocated by not turning off their gas have been presented to thme Legis lature, showing that In almost every case water gas was used. Opinions of experts and municipal ordinances of other cities forbidding the introduc tioni of water 'gas, are also poured Into the ears -of the count ry members. On thec other hand, the Water Gas Comn pan~ly produces counter statistics and counter arguments, also from good authority, wvhich go to showv that wvateri gas is as harmless asMary'alittle lamb, anid It also rings all the changes on the cry of anti-monopoly. The Senate , committee reported unfavorably and the Hlouse commnitte favorably on the charter of incorporation. In nmeither house a decisive vote been taken, and ci renlars, pamphlets and lobbylsts meet the legislator at every step. What our law-givers don'tknow about water gas now is not worth knowing. Senator McCall, of Marlboro, intro duced a bill on Wednesday to exempt boufide lnmigrants.f'om all taxes except for school purposes for five years. after their removal into the State. This provoked lively dliscus sion, some urging that this is a died crimnination, agaiust citizens, to which it was replied that every immigrant aidds to the value of property. The bill passedl a second reading after re ducinig the time to three years. The irrepressible confiet between the Charlotte, ColumbIa and Augusta .and tho South Carolina Railroad over the charmter of the former requirIng. it to conneet with thlatnem. wasree. ed iti the Sonate by a resolution Senlator Smythe, to direct the attorney general to institute proceedings in thi cotts at once to see if. the Charlotto Road ha" not forfeited its Char'ter bl a refbsal to connect tracks. Consid erable disCnssion eniuod. Senatoi Smythwasserted that opposition to thi motion arose from the personal influ, ence of the officers of the road. Th attorney-geneiral had declined to aci on his own responsibility. Senatol Hendorson's anodinent to mnaki action discretionary with the attorney. general was adopted by a vote 17 tA 15. The resolution is as follows: Whereas, &c.: Therefore be it re. solved by the sanato of South Caroli. n, the House of Represenitatives con. curring, That the ittorney-general be and he is hereby, dlrecte( to institute if In his discretion (lie same be ex)edl ent after Jinquliring into the facts, ii the proper court sitting next after Ilii seswtD of thle General Asseinblv shall adjourn, such proceedings as unay be necessary to determine the questior whdther the said Charlotte, Columbie and Augusta Railroad Company hat violated the foregoing provisions of iL CtLer-, alla hs not forfeited all itf Cor)orate rights and privilecges. And that the said attorney-generil do re)orI his actings auld (oings under thli resolution to fhe noxt session of tit General Assembly. Nothing will be done to chango thie existing law in regard to phosphates and that issue seems to have eitirch died out, with the increased knowi. edge on the subject obtained by tih report of Attorney General Coinct and of the /hlospiato Commission. One other measuire of general in. portance was the passage of a resolu tion acquitting Col. J. C. Coit of al responsibility for the theft of the bilit of the Bank of the State, and releasing him of the poecutiary obligation nat by him to restore the value out of li private means. This menasure wa passed almost unanimously. The Senate has not yet acted tipo the resolution of the house to fix I day for adjournment. It. wishes firsi to find out at what tino the worl will be completed. THlE NEGRo .18 A ItULEI.

The feel little hope of idhing themselves ty negro restoration. They saw thel tate robbed of lands for negro homes and the property stolen by those who claimed to be the friend of the negro. They saw taxes wrung f'omn property to eaucate the negro, and a large por tion stolen outright and. the schools made inerely a mockery of education Now they see sovonty-flve thousand colored cilidren in free schools, anid nearly twelve hundred colorod teanh ore instructing them under the benelt. conce of the State. They see, also, an aminiuent of the Constitution adopt ed manking iIxed and irrevocable atp propiiations for free and] equal educa tion, and the Governor of the State decluring for still greater increaso in the facilities for instructing both whites and blacks. They see business and confidence revive; they have jmtore labor and pay ; they are steadily Incrensing their friendly rolations- with the whites by leases of linds, and many of them are becoming stnall pro prietors siuco they have ceased to neglect Industry to follow the con iands of selfli leaders, and a large proportion of the more thrifty class have oponly taken their politicid stand with the whites while thousands of others, espeelally In minority counties, refuse to take any part in politics. They have a majority of from twenty to tilrty thousand in the State on a Istrict color line. -division, but there will never be another solid negro vote cast in this State. Superir intelli gence and will must rule hero.as in all other places in' the world, and both whites and blacks understand it. There will be unjustifiable methods here to repress suchl negro counties as Beaufort and Charlesi,on, and they will nee d the correcting hands of jus tice; but until all the laws of human nature and of Interest shall b revers ed, the white man will rule the Inferi or race, and lie will do it better In the South at this time than the negro can rule himsei.
