They have served the State faithfully ; aod that service has been an honor to the State. They have the bench, and the State is the loser thereby. In after years the period of the judgeship of these jurists will be referred to with pride by j 'South Carolinians w?o delight in what is I 'Praest and besoin tbe history of tbe State, j The knowledge of faithful, patriotic service of the State, when she most needed such service, -and the consciousness of the esteem of those .who bold probity io greater regard than | tpartisanship^will afford to these gentlemen greater satisfaction while Irving io the shades of private life iban they could have experi? enced had ' they purchased the privilege of ' wearing the -etmiae by a submission to partisan dictation. Of tbe men selected to succeed them we know but little, eave their prominence in j .ooonection >wnb factional politics during the ! ?last three years. To 'this they owe their .?l?vation to tbejjudgesbip.

Our idea of a judge is a jurist who construes the law as he finds it, who administers justice asan abstract quality to all alike, and not ? partisan who will construe law to anil a certain man or fac? tion. IMPORTANT TO MERCHANTS About four months ago the South Elstern Tariff Association adopted the ''Iron Safe CUase," which now forms a part of every policy writien on merchandise, a compliance wi ?b which by the assured, is of the highest importance. The clause is as follows : IBON san CLAUSE. Thefollotcing covenant and warranty ? hereby made a part of this policy : 1st The assured will keep a set of books, which shall clear y and plainly presenta com? plete record of business transacted, including all parchases, sales and shipments, both for cash acid for cred; t. 2d The assured" will take a complete item? ised inventory of r tock on band at least once in each calendar year, and unless such inventory has been taken within twelve calendar months prior to the date of this policy, ont; shall be taken in detail within 30 days from such date, or-this policy shall be null and void. 3d. The assur?e will keep sotb- books-and inventory securely locked in a fire-proof safe at nigh;, and at ali times when the store men? tioned io this policy- is not actually open for ^usines::. The assured expressly assumes the absolute obligation to produce such books and i rivet? t orv in an uninjured and entirely legible condition, after any fire which may j have destroyed the stock of goods, or any part j thereof, cr the building or storehouse in which j the bostoVss was earned on.

THE LEGISLATURE. TUESDAY NOVEMBER 28. i The first day's session was not marked by anything unusual except the reading of the Governor's Message, which we published last week, as an extra. Senator Buist introduced a bill repealing the Dispensary bill and substituting therefor a high license bill, which provides that "no license for the sale of- intoxicating liquors shall be grunted be any municipal authorities in any city, town or village io this State, except upon the payment, br the person applying for the same, to the Treasurer ot the county io which such city, town or village is situated, the sum of $250, in addi? tion to the license charged by such'city, town or village, for the use of such county, to be applied io the ordinary expenses of the county; and no city, town or village shall grant such license tor a sum of les? than $250. This is regarded at the first gun io the fight against the dispensary. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 29. H0C81. In the House, Mr. Hammett introduced al bill to prohibit the manufacture or sale of cigarettes, u'.der penalty of $100 fine or 3 months in jail. Mrs Voa Kolnitz introduced the same bill that Senator Buist introduced in the Senate, abolishing the dispensary. The salary reduction oill was taken up, it being part of the unfinished business of last . year. The Governor's salary was reduced to ; $3,000 Railroad Commissioners reduced j Irom$1,800 to $1,500. Superintendent of! Education from $1,9*0 to $1,500. Clerk of j same from $1.050 to 600 Librarian Supreme i Conrt from $900 to $800. Adjutant-General from $1,350 to $1,200. Clerk of same from | $1050 to $900 State Librarian reduced to i $800. Solicitors $1,300. excepting the ' Solicitor of the First Circuit $1,600. Mem- | bers of Legislature $4 per diem and 10 cents j mileage. The hour of 1:30 having arrived the j House, according to previous appointment, heard resolutions and speeches in reference to the death of Mr. S. M. Wylie, a member from Chester. On motion of Mr. Breazeale, of Anderson, a committee was appointed by the Speaker, consisting of three members, to confer with a similai committee of the Senate io reference to the Code. By this means it is boped that the Code can be quickly passed as a whole, the committee being directed to consider each section and report back to the House. The recommendations of the committee will doubt? less be adopted and consequently there will be little trouble in passing the Code. Among the new bills introduced is one to take away the cUrter yt the Port Royal and Augusta Railroad. The provisions of the bill are so worded as to prevent any individ? ual or individuals representing the Georgia Central Company from getting control of it when the reorganization is had under the provisions of the bill. SENATE. The first fight was upon Senator Buist's bill to allow corporation? to organize un? der the general law w;th less than $1,000, 000 capital stock. Senator Efired op? posed it but it finally passed. The House bill to prohibit prize fight? ing in this State was the rirst passed this session, and WHS yesterday sent to the Governor tor his signature It pro? vides for A penalty of $1000 or three years' imprisonment for both principals aud seconds. The Governor returned three bills to the Senate with the reason of his refusal to sign them lucidly set forth. They were: 1. To incorporate the Isabelle Power Company. 2. To incorporate the Beaufort and Port Roy?I Railway Company. 3. To incorporate the South Carolina Sewerage Company. They were all, be said, of a speculative character and granted power which he con? sidered dangerous. . (There was no session of the Legislature on Thursday, Nov. 30, it being Thanksgiving Day.) FRIDAY DECEMBER 1st. HOUSE. The salary reduction bill was further considered. Clerk Gray's salary was re? duced to $600. Stenographers' salaries were reduced $1.000.

The ?Senate was not in session and the ! Hou.-e transacted very Hule business. This j will close our report for this week, as the legislature went to Augusta yesterday, and! there will be no account of proceedings until j tomorrow. We willi continue our report in the next issue. Our readers will understand that we publish only such matters as are o, general interest The Sage of Pisgah Prefers Uni? versal Suffrage. Mr. Editor :-After a year spent in pre? paring his Austrian Ballot BiU, ?Ir. R. I. Manning gives us a long letter in advocacy of it. Now it would have been much better j if Mr. Manning bad published his Bill j instead ot his letter, so we could have ! judged of ita merits. I agree with you both j that it should not be judged from a political ? standpoint; but on the patriotic ground of j j what is tiest kr the State al this time. I can? not agree with Mr. Manning in bis conclu- I : sion that it will place the State permanently t ! in the whites' bands. I have been informed by j I Northerners thal the law has been violated j ; North, iu ways that its advocates did not , expect In our Slate, 1st., the per cent, of educated negroes is anout equal to the per cent, of j educated whites, and iu a contest, tbe result j ; would not be.so sure. 2d. It would disfrau- , ? cbise a large per cent, ot our worthy white j ' citizens, wbo did uot have any advantages of ? ; education in their youth. To this I am ; . unalterably opposed. The mind revolts ut , j the thought ot taking the franchise from this j ! class of our old citizens, wbo have risked ; ! their lives on many a battle field io the j : defense of their country, and now in their j j old days must be set aside, as of no accouut ?now. 3d. In a contest between whites, the: j side which has the most educatiou would win ' irrespective of issues A too limited suffrage 1 is always dangerous. The tendency in j j America to-day,is towards greater wealth iu ; the hands of a few North, and a limited . : suffrage South. Both are extreraly danger I ousto the welfare ot our own country. The j fundamental principles of the American Government are founded ou universal j suffrage. Destroy that, and the throne tot j ters. The Constitution of the United States j guarantees to each tuan a oallot, restricted ia ; some States for crimes done. If he should ! bave his ballot at the primary election, why not at the general election? Some of the dangers ot the day are tiuiply "bug-bears" in Mr. Manniug's imagination which be would do weil to get rid of. It is a reflection ; j on this intelligent Republic that we have to go ! 1 to a Monarchy to learn how to conduct our ! I elections. Possibly, we are drifting towards : a MoD'arcbial form of government, as recent evKuts seem to show enough to make the bones of the fathers rattle in their graves.* i Pisgah, Nov. 27. J.
