The General Assembly. DECEMBER 18. The House worked all the morning oo the calendar and nothing of general interest came up until Mr. Magill, of Abbeville, introduced the following r?solution : "Whereas, the- -i#pes3deet of the Unt'ed States and party are now visit log in our State, and Whereas, . the General Asse? bl y is sow in session aod desires to extend to l:he President aod the gen Wemen ac companying bini that courtesy due bi? exalted character and official position, be it, "Resolved, by the House, the Senate concurring,. that aa io vi ration be and is hereby extended to : the Pr?sident o f the Untied States anti the gentlemen cota posing his party, to visit the Gen? eral Assembly now io session and ac? cept the privileges of the floor of the two Houses." Dr. Wyobe, of Newberry moved to received them as in form ati on. Mr. Duncan, of Newberry said : '*I hope this matter will not be dis? posed of to this way. I am opposed to extending such courtesy to a President for whom we justly entertain so little respect. I therefore move to table these resolutions." Speaker Joses said that, as the presi? ding officer, be doubted the propriety aod policy of adopting such a motion as Mr. W vebe had made Mr Manning, of Sumter, said that the matter had come before the Ilouse and any act iou looking to receiving ;.t as information would have a bad appear? ance The House ought not todo that, seither ought it to lay it oo the table lt oaght noe to go into journal. He thought that the best thing that could be done, was for the author to with? draw it. Messrs. Patton, Watson, Tatum, and Raiasford, the latter three, leading Reformers, spoke in favor of the adop? tion of the resolution aod ttrged the House to pay the reapoct due the office of Pr?sident The resolution was adopted without dissent. . Mr. Davis's bill to change the system of practice in trial justice courts was discussed at length. Mr A. K. San ders's.bili to regulate the foreclosure of mortgages OB Teal estate came up with amendments and unfavorable minority report, and caused the most important discussion of the day. Mr. Patton moved to strike out the enacting words. The bill changed materially the laws of the State relating ta mortgages and was aimed particu? larly at Scotch mortgages. Mr Wiofe ler made a strong argument io favor of the bill, and offered a substitute bili, a little more carefully worded. Mr. Skin? ner opposed it as did Mr. Gadsden and others. Theo the substitute was killed ou motion of Magill. The bill was theo passed, as amended, io this shape : Section 1. That form and after the passage of this act no sale under or by virture of au y mortgage or other io struemeut io writing, intended as secur iuy for a debt shall be valid to nasa the title of the land mortgaged unless the debt for which the security is given shall be first established by the judg? ment of some court of competent juris? diction; and ali sales shall be made by the officers! of the court as now or hereafter provided by law, or uniese the amouot of the debt be con? sented to io writing by the debtor sub? s?quent to the maturity of the debt, such consent io writing to be re? corded to the office of the register of mesne conveyance, where the mortgage or other instrument in writing given to secure such debt is, or ought io be, re? corded. When Mr. Manning's Australian ballot bill "to promote the independ? ence of electors and to enforce the secrecy of the ballot" was called up, Mr. Manning said the bill was a most im* portant ooe. He had in trod need it ia response to what he believed to be a de? mand for honest elections. He realised that it could oct pass at this session. The bal'ot needs purification* The Aus? tralian system was oo experiment. Many of the coup tries of the world aod the States had adopted it. All be wished to ask was that the special re? port of the committee to continue it till next session, be adopted and orge every member to take it bone with him a od give it careful consideration. The bill was thea continued to the next aessiom. At the night session Mr. Duncan attempted to revive the Cleveland outr ter, bot was promptly sat down oo by the house. The new liquor law was taken op and after a long fight the majority passed it to a third reading over all opposition. A bard fight was made against the the bill, but it was without avail as the measure was labelled ''Administration" aod argument bad oo effect. The Senate passed the Metropolitan Police bill. The Conservatives aod non-partisan Reformers made every effort to defeat the tyrannical measure, but it was carried through as an ad? ministration bill over every protest and argument. The law gives the Gov? ernor and two commissioners, whom be is to appoint, police control of every towo and city in the State containing more than 1,000 inhabitants. There were a few other bills passed, but none of special importance, except the bill in reference to the terms upon which railroads lying within the State may be purchased, leased or operated, and the bill reported -by Mr. Moses in reference to publio advertising. It j provides chat the rate hereafter shall i be one cent a word for the first inser? tion, J cent a word for subsequent in? sertion?, with 5 ceo ts a word for cap? tions, each insertion. The committee's amendment, making it two and ooe cent respectively, was defeated. Mr. Moses who reported the bill, gave several instances showing "space rates'1 to have been taken advantages of hy certain publishers, and with leads and slags,-grossly abased. The bill effects a decided cot in the present legal rate, even wr?en set solid. The bill to establish a reformatory for youthful criminals was killed. DECEMBER 19. The House considered third reading bills and passed them in order. The bill to provide against combina - t ions of fire insurance com pa ? i e s p r o - ?oked a hard fight, bot Was finally passed and ordered sent to the -'enate. The bill reducing the salaries of auditors was passed. The salary of j the auditor of Sumter County was fixed at 1,100. A largo number of Senate bills were passed io the routine order without de? bate. At the night session the Constitu? tional Convention bill was taken op. The bill was amended in several par? ticulars. The time of meeting was fixed for the 2 i Tuesday in September, and the election of delegates on the third Tuesday iu August. The first Monday in March was Sxed as the day for the beginning of regis? tration and ten days will be allowed. The proposition to appropriate $2,500 to the State Fair was discussed at length, but the amendment was laid ^n the tibie. The bill to prohibit the three-fourths clause being.attached to any insurance policy was reported unfavorably. The Senate disposed of the jim crow car bill by laying it on be table. The appropriation bill was taken up at the night session. The most import? ant committee amendments adopted were those increasing the appropriation for the South Carolina College of ?21, 000 as fixed by the House, to $25,000 : the Citadel Academy'from $15,000 to $18,000; Clemson from $15,000, to $35.000. and the Winthrop Normal College from $55,000 to $65,000. Mr. Boi8t succeeded in getting the restoration of tba salary of the Charles? ton quarantine ofEcer to $1,800 from $1,400. Mr. Walker did the same service for that office at Georgetown, from $300 to $500, aod Mr. Verdier persuaded the Senate to restore the salaries of the office at St. Helena and Port Royal to the figures prior to the slash in the House, viz : $800 each. An attempt was made to have the salaries of the two new Judges increased from $3.000 to $3500, but the motion was voted down. DECEMBER 20. The chief incidents of the day in the House were the parting address of Senator-elect Tillman, the consideration of the metropolitan police bill and the continuation until next session of the claims of the old State Bank for bonds lost. The bard work of yesterday provided a pretty good li n of third read? ing bills and among' (hem were the schemes providing for the Coos ti tu tional Convention, the bill permitting the more general use of surety bonds, tbe Lexington-Columbia bridge bill and the s?beme by which it is proposed to crash oat the Southeastern Tariff Association. Among the first of the second read? ing bills taken ap to-day were those incorporating the Abbeville, Pelzer and Piedmont Railway Company, and to allow the commissioners of York to borrow money with which to pay past indebtedness. Gov. Tillman, who was leaving the city in the afternoon, came into the House to say good by to bis friends, and was invited to make a short speech. He did so briefly. The Senate bill to authorise the Treasurer to issue to Samuel Lord, as receiver of the State Bank, bondi or stock equal in amount to 50 per centum of the par value of certain 7 per cent State bonds and interest thereon, which booda were taken and lost or destroyed by Federal soldiers daring the late civil war, and to which the said receiver by decrees of the. Courts has been adjudged entitled,) and to permit the refunding of the same under the Acts for the redemption of the State debt was oootiooed to the next session after a lengthy debate. The Metropolitan Police bill was taken np by the House at 1 o'clock. Mr. Thomas, of Richland, moved to strike oat the eoactiug clause, and made a very forcible argument against the measure. The bill was discussed at great length and with more than usual earnestness by the members. The opponents of the measure did most of j the talking, bat those who were sup? porting it had a few speakers to defend the measure. Messrs. Manning and Wilson spoke against the measure. The State says of their speeches : "Mr. Wilson, of Sumter, made one of the best speeches of the evening. He said that he did not often tax the pa- ' tience of the House, but to be silent I ! now would be to be false to the princi- j ! pies of true Democracy, and it would be a base dereliction of duty if he did not protest against this measure. He could not diseuss the law in detail, and be need not as the ground had been fully covered by bis friend from Rich? land. It could not be denied that at first the law had not bee a respected but all knew why. To-day <:bc law was rc cognized as settled, and if this new c?e ment of friction was not injected into it, the law would now be respected. Af* an agriculturalist, be deprecated the differences between town and country and be hoped that the House would rise above passion and prejudice and not pass sucb a blot upon the fair fame of the State as the bill would bo." .'Mr Manning opposed the bill briefly. He was au original opponent of the dispensary law, but like many others he bad seen some beneficial features resulting from ir, and this change of sentiment in its favor was a growing one, but if this dras'ic meas? ure was adoptei that sentiment would be retarded, indefinitely " Twenty-thre ? members voted against the bill and eighty-seven for it. All five of the members frost Sumter Coun? ty voted again;t the bill. The Senate i:ook up thc message from the House in reference to the amend? ments to the Constitutional Convention bil). In all of the following amendments of the House the Senate concurred : To change the time of holding the convention from August 16 to the third Tuesday in September. To cbange the date of the election from March 5th to the third Tuesday in August. To change the date for the beginning of registration under this act from the first Monday in February to the first Monday in Mi,rca. To change the hours during which the polls shall he open election day from i ?7 a. m , tc 4 p. m., to 8 a , m. to 4 p. hi. To allow the State board of canvass? ers fifteen instead of ton days in which to canvass the returns and declare the result. THEY" DON'T AGREE. lu the.se two amendments the Senate refused to concur: To change the time for keeping open the registration office from eighteen consecutive days to ten consecutive I days. To allow the county boards of can? vassers until the Thursday after elec? tion instead of Tuesday next succeed? ing, in which to canvass the county re? turns. The appropriation bill was the fea? ture of the evening session, and there was a protracted debate over the ap? propriations ito the South Carolioa College and the Citadel. The appro? priations went through, however. The legislative per diem and bill to raise supplies were read and referred. - The Knights of Labor order is torn by internal dissensions, and the leaders are wbrking ro prevent the disruption of the order.

He-Repeats His Views on The Election Law-What The Senate May Do. WASHINGTON, Dec. 19 -Speaking of the South Carolioa election laws and of bis coarse io appealing to the couria to test their validity, Senator Butler, of South Carolina, said this morning: "The story, for a beginning, goes back to a period twelve years ago. when shrewd layers constructed aod caused to be enacted a system of registration and election laws calculated solely for the purpose of preventing even the remotest possibility of negro domi? nation, of which at that time the peo? ple of the South were very much afraid, under existing Federal election laws. "It put all elections io the State practically under the control of the State machine, and things went just the way the machine said. Of courue we all acquiesced iu these laws for many years, for DO one seemed fo thiuk there was any harm in them. To tel! you the troth, I never read them or knew what was in them until very re? cently. 4'The people generally were very well satisfied with this arrangement of af? fairs, and for years things ran aloog very smoothly-until the Tillmanires. so called, got' bold of the machine. Now it is charged that although acting strictly under the law they have <lis francbished 40.000 whit* voters and ejected Tillmau to the Senate "My term expires on the 4th of March next, and T ?hall never be a candidate again for any political office. Bur. I am interested in ihe peace and good order of the State, and I ray to you, just 60 sure as iii ese laws remain unchanged shotguns will play a promi? nent part io future politicial campaign and voters will walk through blood to the ballot boxes. ' That is why I am in? terested in the matter at the present time. Nobody knew bow bad these laws were until the working of the last campaign caused the people to study them. They are so clearly un? constitutional that there cao be no doubt whatever as to the result. I be? lieve the Supreme Court of the State will so decide. .*I presume Tillman will come here to take his seat on the 1st of next De? cember, and the question of constitu? tionality may theu have not been de? cided by thc highest tribunal of the land. In that case it is my belief that the Senate itself would have the right to decide as to whether tbs Legislature that had chosen the Senator was a con? stitutional body or not.1" Thc mole is not blind, as many persons suppose.

Burning Pain Erysipelas In Face and Eye? Inflammation Subdued and Tor* tures Ended by Hood's. " I am so glad to be relieved of my tortures that I am willing to tell the benefits I have de? rived from Hood's Sarsaparilla. In April and Kay, I was afflicted with erysipelas In my faca, and eyes, which spread to my throat and neck. I tried divers ointments and alteratives, but there was no permanent abatement of the burn? ing, torturing pain, peculiar to this complaint; I began to take Hood's Sarsaparilla and Felt Marked Relief before I had finished the first bottle. I con* tinued to improve until, when I had taken font HOOD'S Sarsaparilla CURES bottles, I was completely cured, and felt that all signs, rsr.rks and symptoms of that dire com? pliant had forever vanished."
