OCHN?TlTlTTIOXAIi A SII?XDMl .NTS. j Two amendments to tin- Consti tution of this ."Mate will 1)0 voted upon by the people nt tho next Genom I Klee (ion on November 2nd. Itjs probably safe to say that a majority of tho voters will never investigate toe merits ol' these amendments before they give their sanction. The ?rst ?-; ?.That Section ?I I, ?Article IX. ns rn li fted on the Kith dav of April, ISijs, lu utuoiided, so a~ tn rea?I as follows: .. '.Suellen 14. Any deht contracted bv the state shall lu- by lean on Stute lionds, or st.lek. ni amounts not less th u one hundred d?>llars ??tedi, l??':iring inter est and payable semi-annually, sud payable within Hfty-yenrs titter ibo tiiud passage of the law ? ul liorizlng such dehl. A correct registry ul such hon?ls ??r slock shall he kc*pt by thc tn-asurer in numerical order, sn as always i?> oxliil tho number amt amoiiul unpa'ul anti tu whom sev erally made payahlc.' " We .--ce no objection to such un amendment, and i: will doubtless pass without opposition. Tho second however ls a mutter which concern us, and is ol" vital importance. It relates to the (Jen. sus and rends as follows: "Article ll of (lie Constitution shall bc HO amended thal hereafter in placo of Sections 4 amt ?'? ni' sahl Article, thc following shall 'ee substituted ami known as Sect ii m 4, t" vv ll : "Section 4. Th? I louse ef llcpresonta llves shall consist ol' ne- hil iel rr; I ami twenty-four members, to ne apportioned Htnong the several counties according to the number of inhabitants contained in each ; an enumeration of ibu lui ubi tan ts fur tills purpose shall be made in elgh teen hundred and lllllcty-Onc ami shall he made in the course' of every tenth year thereafter in Hindi a manner as ?hall he, by law directed: / v.u e/. </, That the dencrul Assembly may at ?ny time in its discretion adopt tin- immediately proceeding 1'uited s.ates census as a correct enumer.it ion'of.t lie inhabit a nts of thc several counties and make the np. portion men I ami assignment of Repre sentatives among the nevera! comities aocor<liiii_r tosaid ( numeration: l'rOVliJt?il, however, This amendment shall not pro vont thc General Aseemlity from prov id lng for an enumeration and apportion ment prior*tn ISOI in thc manner now provided for hy law . Cnder ?ill circumstances, amend ments to tho Constitution are mat ters of importance and should bo accomplished niter thc questions are thoroughly understood. This last "amendment in effect annuls the requirement that the state aimil lake a Census, of tho inhabit by allowing the Legislature to adopt tho Cuited States Census. Representation in the hulls of legislation is a mattel which all citizens guard with jealous caro. To bo properly represented, Ire land is striving to-day, and moro than a century ugo for this cause In part, the llovolutionury War was fought. Indeed, rho confidence ami stability of a government ls de pandant upon every section bel?g allowed full and free representa tion. 1) plurilms union, is the motto and it ls well to bear In mind that those who, in wisdom founded our Government, thought proper lo di vide il into two departments, State and National. To each is given rights,duties uni] privileges, ami it is w ell, at least in tins par ticular, tu adhere tr. the line mark ed out, and not merge the many in the o/l?. The State should Ix compelled to take a COUSUS, independent of the United Stud's, ami it ls boped that our condition i.-. not such to force us to mahe this complete surrender <>n uccontil ot tin? mere pitta noe allowed for this purpose, it ls Indy a bad condition ol* ami i iv, when a State cannot pay for an apportionment of her repreeontatives in the legis lature. If we had Ibo assurance that tho Democratic I'urty would always remain lu power, hi tho 'National Government, and that it U'Otlld never become corrupt, it might bo different, but oven then il would be Well to have a State census. Wo have no assurance that our political sea will always be calm, and il ls no', tin- part of wisdom to tear away tho safe guards, because no ?langer Is in sight. Who can tell when another Chamberlain, Moses,Gran! or Hay os will arl?e? Do wo want such men to determino how many men ii 'ii bo elected from "black ?lis triets," and tho number that Lau* rous shall send? A political party that Would steal the Presidency would scarcely be worthy of con " rldonec in such matters as this, We say Jot every voter in South Caro lina, and especially lu this section vote "No" to this Amendment.

I happened in a saloon one after noon in the month of October, a la dy in deep mourning followed by ll little child, entered one of the fash ionnbl" saloons I happened to tie in at t he t inie, she stepped up to tile ? bar ami addressing thu proprietor Maid, : "Sir, can you assist me, I have no home, no frierais, and am not ! abb to work." Ho glanced at lier, .uni then at the child with a mingled look of curiosity and pity, evidently he was much surprised to see a woman in such a place begging. Without asking any questions he gave her some change, and turning to tho.se present, said, "({entinten, here i- a lady in dis tress, can't soi .e of von help lier a little?" They cheerfully acceeded to hin request, and soon a purse of two dollars was put into her hands. "Madam, Kalil the gentleman who gave her tb?' money, "why do you eome to ?i saloon,?it isn't a propor plae. for a Indy, and why are you driven to auch a step?" "Sir, said the lady, I know it isn't a proper place for a lady to be in, and you ask me why J nm driven to such ii step, I w ill tell you in one short word, pointing to a bottle be hind tho counter labeled "Whis key," that is what brought nie here. Whisk, y. I was once happy and surrounded willi all tile luxuries that wealth could produce, willi a fond, indulgent husband. Itut in an evil holli" IK; WHS tempted ami not possessing- the will io resist the tempation, fell, ami in om* short year my dream <>f9 happiness was over, my homo was forever desolate and the kimi husband and tim Wealth that some OH I led mine, was lost. Lofft never to return, and all by the accursed win?' cup. You sec before you only tin wreck of my former self, homoleflfl and friendless, with nothing left, mo in this world but this little child." And weeping bitterly slu* affection* atejy carrosser! tho gobion curls that shaded U face of oxqll.sito love liness. Regaining her composure and turning to the proprietor ehe continued; "Sir,the reason why I occasionally enter n pl we like thia la to Implore th*** v. bo de*l in Uiln ibuKlly pola lil mi un-mi iiiimin iniinninnumi son to desist, to stop a business that spreads desolation, ruin, poverty and starvation. Think ?nie moment of your own loved onvs and then imagino thom In tho situation I am ll?, I appeal to your better nature, I appeal to your heart, for I know you possess u kind ono, to retire from u business ruinous to your pa trons. Do you know the money you take across tin- bar is tho same as taking the bread out of tho mouths of the famishing, that it strips clothing I rom their backs, deprives them of their comforts of this life, and throws unhappiness, misery, erinn* und desolation in their once happy homes. Oh, sir, I implore, beseech and pray you to retire from u> business you blush to own you aro engaged in before your fellow men, ?ind enter one that will not only be profitable to yourself but to your fellow cr?atur es also. You will excuse me if I have spoken too plainly, hut I could not help it when I thought of the misery, the Ullhai plnoss and tlie su tieri II : it bus caused me." "Madam, 1 um iud offended, be answered, in a voice husky with emotion, but I thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you have said. "Mamma, sahl the little girl, who in the meantime bad been spoken to hy some ol" the gentlemen pres ent, taking bold of her mother's hand, these uontlcmen want tue to sing "Little Bessie" before them, -.hall I do so V" they all joined in the request. Placing her in a chair she sang in a sweet, childish voice the following beautiful song; Out in Hie gloomy nigh) I .sadly roam, I have no motlier dear, no pleasant homo; NM one cures fur inc, no one would cry I'lven if poor little I?OHH?O should die. Weary atol tired I huvu boon wander ing :dl day And asking for work, Inn I ain ton sundi t hov say : ^<>n thc dump!ground l must md l:?v mv head, Amt fathers a drunkard and mother is .had. Wc were so happy till father drank ruin. Then all our troubles and ?orr. WS he gt) n ; Slow Iv they faded till one summer night Found their dead faees sll silent and w hite. Then with hig tears slowly dropping I said. Father is n drunkard and mother ls dead ; Oh if the temperance moil could only find Poor wretched father ?nd talk verv kind. UH late tempor?neo tuen I>1?H??O try Or poor little ll?nalo will ?oon starve stet die. All (he dav lung I have boen begging bron I, Father ls a drunkard ?at mother ls dead. Then tho (rame of billiards w?? ! loft tn nnbdiod, the curds t; co a aside und tho unompted ".!?> ?> r. unlined on the counter, nil had pros sednear, some with pity beaming eyes en!rune.ot with tho uuitte-d voice und beauty of tho ehll who seemed better fitted tn he with rn gelsnhove than in such II pl iee. Th . scene I shall never forgot to ms-: dving day and the sweet cadenee of her musical voice still rings in my ears, and from her lins sunk ? deep into th" heurts of th'>ne g "ti ered around h??r With her ^o! lou hair falling carelessly uhnut a her, the beautiful eyes illuminated with s light thal seemed not nf this earth, she formed n picture of nitrit e : and Innocence worthy of the fo ntus of a poet or painter. At the close of the song many were weet - lng, men who had not sh?><l a tea" for years wept Uko children. On<* young tuan, who ha 1 resisted with j scorn the pleading : <>f:i loving moth- | er, entreaties of friends tos? riv . and lead ft better li fe, to desist iront a course that was wasting his fortune and ruining his health, now ap proached the child and toking hot! her hands in his, while tears stream ed down his cheeks, exclaimed in deep emotion, "dod bless you my little angel, you have saved me from ruin anti disgrace, from pov erty and a drunkards gi ave. If there aro angels on earth, you are one, God bless you, (?od bless you." And putting a note into the bund of the motlier, be said, "Please accept this trifle as a to ken of my regard and esteem for your little girl. She has done me lt kindness I can never repay and remember, whenever you are in want you will timi me a true friend," at the same time giving her his name and address. Taking her child by the hand she turned to go, hut paused at th" door, and sahl, .'dod bless yon gentlemen, accept the heartfelt thanks of a poor, friendless, woman for the kindness and courtesy you have shown her." Before any one could reply she was gone. A silence of several minutes ensued, which was broken l y the proprietor, who exclaimed, "Gentlemen, that lady was right und I have sold my last glass of whiskey, if any of you wont any more yon will go elsewhere." "And I havedrunk my last glass," said a young man, who hud long been given up UH a drunkard, ton low ever to reform and as utterly beyond the reach of those who ?hud an interest in Ids welfare. "Be held a tiling that wa-,and is not, and yel is." \V. 0. - Annual Report.
