Session.
DECEMBER 21.
The House spent the ififcaing io
finish io g its work and w???; ready to
adjourn, but as the Senate was not, the
motion to adjourn Saturday morning at
ll o'clock was voted dowo.
The House refused to agree to the
Sen ate's increase in the appropriations
to the colleges. It also refuse i to pay
the fee of Mitchell & Smith, George S.
Mower, and Robert Aldrich for assist?
ing in Coosaw case.
The per diem of the penitentiary
directors and the asylum regents was
increased to $4.
Among the Senate matters icteH on
was the amendment to the tax exeas p
ton bill for the people of St., James,
Santee, and James Island. There was
also another bill to exempt John's,
Ed is to and Wai m al aw islands. This
bill was too ate to get .through, but
Mr. Barnwell in the Senate amended
on the third reading the first bill so. as
to include John's, Ed is to and Wad ma
law islands, and the amendments were
accepted by the House. Thanks to
Mr. Barnwell, the storm sufferers
secured their relief. The House cer?
tainly was io a non-debating humor.
The bill to prevent railroad consoli?
dation was passed after a fight.
The committee's hill as to public
printing was passed to a third reading.
It establishes a uniform rate of one
dollar per hundred words for legal ad?
vertising, for the first insertion and fifty
cents per hundred for each subsequent
insertion and fire cents per word for the
beading. The matter was debated for
a few minutes.
The Constitutional Convention matter,
has been finally settled. The election
will be held on the third Tuesday in
August and the Convention ou the
second Tuesday in September. Ten
day s are allowed for registration.
Mr. Bacot, to show his hones1; desire
to amend the police billy introduced
these amendments :
''Section 12. This Act shall not go
into operation until e the 1st day of
Jann?ry, 1?896."
"One of whom (thc commissioners)
shall be selected by the council of such
town oc^^nd^^ntfcer two by the

To make the board of control under
the ae^fr IS^iant on the board would
ba vj made the Attorney General a
member of die board. The House,
however^ insisted oo promptly killing,
these propositions.
The second session was spent in
ratifying the bills passed.
The Senate killed without much con?
sideration the House bill to reduce
salaries. ?
The Senate.took np the regulation of
the registration for the Constitutional
Convention. The attempt to make the
time eighteen days instead of ten days
was voted down.
The routioe work was without inter?
est.
The House did not succeed in doing
very much work on Saturday, but the
day was not without interest, for dur?
ing the night session Speaker Jones
was insulted by a vote that indicated a
want of confidence io bim and be re?
signed his seat and left the hall.
The State gives the following account
of the incident :
The majority of the House wants a
$5 per diem for this session, claiming .
that the salary reduction bill should not
affect them if it did not affect the State
officers. The Senate and a minority of
the House favor a.$4 per diem, and to
adjust the differences between tbe two '
H oases a conference committee was ap?
pointed. On the part of the House
Speaker Jones appointed at the morn- i
ing session Messrs. Breazeale, Thomas ?
and Whitmire, and at the night session
this committee recommended an agree
meat with the Senate. This report did
not suit the ?5 men and 'they claimed'
that it did not reflect the sentiment of
the majority of the House, and Mr.
Cooper, of Colleton, offered a motion
that the House proceed under rule 16
to elect a committee Messrs. Bra- ;
seale, Thomas, Wickler and one or
two others opposed the motion as a slap
at the Speaker, or one that might be so
construed, even if not so intended by
the mover. The motion of Mr.
Cooper was put and carried by a vote
of 45 to 44, and then followed one of
the most sensational incidents of the
session. Fending the announcement
of the vote Speaker Joues bad called
Mr. Breazeale to the chair and when
the vote was announced, be at once
stepped ont oo the floor, and io a clear,
ringing voice, said : "Mr. Speaker, I
have the honor to tender my resigna?
tion as Speaker of this House."
The scene that for a few moments
followed this announcement baffled de?
scription. For a momeo t thero was a
dead silence and then Mr. Bacot, ad?
dressing the temporary presiding officer,
said: "Mr. Speaker, I move that this
House do refuse to accept the Speaker's
resignation.'* The motion was put and
carried unanimously, and the voice of
Speaker Jones was beard again, declar?
ing that be would oo longer serve as
Speaker, and a moment or two later be
retired ?rom the hall. Then for a few
moments there was a scene of confusion
and the Hcnse did oot seem to know
what to do io the dilemma that con?
fronted it. Some half a dozeo or so
moved that the House take a recess for
fifteen minutes, bot this wan voted
down. Mr. Thomas moved to reconsider
the Cooper resolution and this motion
would have gone through like a flash,
! bad not Mr. Cooper taken the floor and
withdrawn it.
Mr. Gary theo offered a resolution
that ike House appreciated the distin?
guished services of the Hon. Ira 6.
Jones as its Speaker and had every con?
fidence in his ability and integrity, and
requested bim to reconsider his resigna
tioo This was adopted unanimously
and conveyed to Mr. Jones through
Messrs Ofts, Goodwyn and Cooper, as
a committee from the House. In a
few minutes they returned with him,
and as he entered the hall he was re?
ceived with loud applause, in which the
galleries joined.
Upon resuming the chair. Speaker
Jones said that he appreciated the great
booor they had done him in recalling
him to the chair, and he felt very
deeply this expression of their kind
feelings. He had felt that the vote on
the passage of Mr. Cooper's resolution
offered under the peculiar circum?
stances was a vote of want of
confidence, for which the rules of the
House permitted<8ach a resolution. He
bad never known one such passed io
the history of legislation in this State,
and he bad too much pride to occupy
the seat of presidio g officer over a
House that lacked confidence io bim
All men were liable to mistakes and he
was glad to know that be bad mistaken
the sentiment of the House
Governor Evans returned the bill
amending the dispensary law of 1893
with his veto, and his reasons for veto?
ing it.
As a result of the conference between
the committees of the House and the
Senate on the general appropriation
bill the appropriation for the South
Carolina University will probably be
$25,000,for the Citadel, $15,000, and
for Clemson College, ?15,000.
The House refused to concur in teb
Senate amendment to the dispensary
law, fixing the commissioners' salary
at ?3,000.
The House also rejected the Senate
amendment to the same bill, requiring
affidavits on which search warrants are
issued to set forth the facts on which
the affidavits are based.
The bill regulating the holding of
inquests was the first matter under
discussion in the Senate. This bill
provided that no inquest should be
held except at the request of "tea re?
spectable citizens." After discussion it
was amended to permit inquests on re?
quest of two citizens.
The bill to do away with Scotch
mortgages pissed toe Senate without
amendment/
The inability .of the Senate and
House to agree as to the appropriation
for the per diem to members was still
unsettled when the Senate adjourned at
12 o'clock.
The General Assembly met in final
session at 3 o'clock Monday morning.
The committee of conference agreed
that no distillery should be established
within one and a quarter miles of a
church
The bill to reduce the cost of dieting
prisoners in jails was defeated.
A fight was made on the adoption of
the new'dispensary law. By mistake,
a clause in regard to change of venue,
which is clearly illegal, and . had been
stricken out of the .bill by the com?
mittee bad not been erased from the
enrolled copy, and a fight was made to
?reject the report of the committee, but
the effort failed and the bill became a
?aw with this clause in it.
The Senate went into secret session
oo the appointments of tbe Governor.
The appointments for Sumter County
that were confirmed have been given al?
ready. Tbe appointments of L. D.
Jennings, B. P. Kelley, Daniel Keels,
J. W. Broadway as trial Justices were
rejected. Messrs Jennings and Keels
were rejected on account of living in
the extreme edges of their respective
districts. J. W. Broadway because be
did not want the position and sent in a
letter to that effect. B P. Kelly be?
cause he was not acceptable to the peo?
ple of bis district every white mao io
ibe district except two signed a petition
for the re-appointment of J. W. Mose?
ley, the present incumbent.
In Richland County the recommenda?
tions of the Primary were disregarded
and Reformers appointed.
The House agreed to the Senate's ap?
propriations to the South Carolina Col
lege, -Citadel and Clemson.
After adopting resolutions of thanks
they adjourned.
Did you ever hold a watch and see
for how maoy seconds you could keep
a stream of air flowing into your
lungs? If not, make the test, and
you will find that no matter how small
thc stream you cannot keep it con?
stantly flowing in for more than fifteen,
twenty, or possibly thirty seconds ; but
if you will try two or three times each
day you oan double the time within
two weeks. The boy or giri who will
try this and keep it up regularly for a
year, will not be likely to die of con?
sumption, and should they ever become
public speakers or singers they will be
very thankful that they commenced
wheo young to take "laog baths."
Harper's Young People, io speaking
about breathing, says : * 'Did you ever
think of takiog a lung bath ? One's
lungs need cleansing as surely as do
the hands and face. This is especially
true after one bas been in a crowded
hall or ohurcb, breathing in so many
impurities. How can one take a lung
bath ? By simply drawing a deep
breath and theo expelling the air from
the lungs. You will feel wonderfully
refreshed thereby and the general
health will be improved."
Springer's Substitute.
Outlines of His Scheme For Re?
forming The Banking System.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Mr. Sprin?
ger of Illinois, at a late hour this
afternoon, laid before the House a
substitute for the pending currency
bill It consists of the amendments
which have been agreed upon by the
Democratic members of the com
mittee. others that were suggested
by Secretary Carlisle, the author of
the bill that has been under consi?
deration all week, as wei! as certain
faetures of the Carlisle bil!, which it
has been deemed advisable to retain.
After laying the substitute before the
House, Mr. Springer briefly explain?
ed the important changes made in the
Carlisle bil!, and their effect as fol?
lows :
First-Permitting the deposit ol
currency certificates issued under
section 5,193 of the Revised Statutes,
to secure circulation, as well as the
deposit of legal tender notes actually
held in the Treasury, and the effect
of depositing certificates is therefore
the same precisely as to require the
deposit of notes.
Second-So amending the present
law as to permit State banks to
deposit legal tender notes and pro?
cure these currency certificates in
the same manner that-National banks
are permitted to do so
Third-Dispensing with the provi?
sion which authorizes an assess?
ment upon the natioual banks to
replenish the safety fund for the
redemption of the notes of failed
banks and, in place of this provision,
insert one providiog that the collec?
tion of one-fourth of a cent tax for
each half year shall be resumed when
the safety fund is impaired and con?
tinued until the safety fund is re?
stored
Fourth-Authorizing the comp?
troller of the currency, instead of the
b?uks themselves, to designate the
agencies at which national bank
notes shall be redeemed.
The effect of this will be to secure
the redemption not only at the office
of the bank, but other place accesibles
to note holders.,
Fifth-Dispense with the provision
compelling existing national banks to
withdraw their bonds not on deposit,
and take out circulation under the
new system, and in lieu of that pro?
vision insert one permitting the
banks to withdraw their bonds, if
they see proper to do so, by deposit?
ing lawf J! money as now provided by
law and then to take out circulation
under the new system if they choose
to do so.
Sixth-Providing that the notes of
failed national banks which are not
redeemed on demand, at the office of
the Treasurer of the United StateB or
an assistant Treasurer of the United
States, s ball bear interest at the rate
of 6 per cent, per annum from the
date of the suspension of the bank
until thirty days after public notice
has been given that funds are on
hand for their redemption. This
imposes no obligation cn the part* of
the United States to use its own
fonds for the redemptions, as the
safety fund is in the hands of the
Treasurer and he will reedeem notes
out of that fund.
It is not necessary to repeal the re?
pealing clause in section 7, as recon?
structed, because section 1, as pro?
posed to be amended, repeals all bond
requirements as to banks taking out
circulation under the proposed bill :
nor is it necessary in section 7 to set
out how the notes of existing banks
shall be redeemed when lawful money
has been deposited, because the pre?
sent law provides for all that.
In regard to the provision making
the notes of railed banks bear inter?
est, it is absolutely necessary to re?
quire their presentation at someplace
before they begin to bear interest,
otherwise it is impossible to frame a
clause which would not make all of
the notes bear interest from the date
of suspension, even though there
might be funds on hand to pay them.
There are ten sub-treasuries in the
United States, and there will be no
difficulty in presenting the notes, if
the holder of them has any doubt
about their immediate redemption and
thus make them bear interest.

The Metropolitan Police
Law.
What is Said About it in Other
States.
[Atlanta Constitution.]
It is impossible to read tb? debate
on the metropolitan police bill with?
out coming to tbe conclusion that
South' Carolina is in danger of some
of the worst ev*l8 of factional strife.
Many of the cities and towns are
determined never to submit to the
high-handed rule of "metropolitan
police." They see that the proposed
law means the destruction of local
self-governmeot, and Senator Wat?
son, a strong Tillman man, voiced
their sentiments when he denounced
the bili, saying that if he lived in a
city he would advocate rebellion, and
that all freemen and good citizens
should be on that line. He went on
to say that Calhoun was for war in
1832 for less cause, and that the
police bill would have the effect of
bringing all good citizens and liquor
men together on the side of self
government.
If the effort to force a foreign
police upon the cities and towns of
the state is persisted in, there will be
open revolt in the Palmetto State,
and it requires no prophet to predict
that there will be bloodshed.
Governor Tillman knew just how
far it was safe to stretch bis authority,
but the present legislature seems to
have gone wild.
Uuder the new regime our sister
state seems to be under the rule of
those whom the gods have made mad
as a preliminary to their destruction.
The patchwork, crazy quilt of their
legislation is without a parallel in this
country. There must be a change
for the better very soon or there will
be an exodus of the better class of
citizens, as there was in Kansas last
year, when the people felt that life
was not worth living under the rule
of cranks.
In the main, the South Carolinians
are the truest, best and most patriotic
of Americans. They love their
native state, but they will never live
under a despotism worse than that ot
the reconstruction era. Before they
will submit they will seek homes
elsewhere, and they could not do a
wiser thing if the present reign of
discord is to continue.
[Wilmington Star.J
The metropolitan police bill which
passed the Senate of South Carolina
Tuesday is aa extraordinary measure,
the result of which will be, if it
become the law, that the State will
have practical control of every town
in the State of 1,000 population or
more. This is not only an extraor?
dinary but a revolutionary measure.
There is not a State in the Union in
which the towns and cities have not
the control of their police as a neces?
sary part of the machinery of their
local government, and it is only in
times of actual insurrection or of
uncontrollable mob violence that any
other power has been invoked, or
undertook to interfere with muni?
cipal governments, and then this
invoked power generally acts in con?
junction with the constituted civil
authorities. This act overrules
municipalities, and places one of the
most important pieces of the muni?
cipal machinery, that which preserves
law and order and protects property
and life, under the control of a par?
tisan board, which knows little about
the towns or their needs in that
respect and cares less. And this is
all that an odious law which should
never have been passed may be
enforced to the notion of those who
passed it

-Augusta Chronicle.
There was one remarkable statement
in the otherwise commonplace inaugu?
ral address of the oew governor of
South Carolina. It was that io which
he declared that tbe aristocracy of land
and money in that state has been suc?
ceeded by the aristocracy of brains.
This- came with becoming mcdesty
from the man who is the head of the
present South Carolina state govern?
ment and presumably, therefore,. the
ideal illustration of braios as contrasted
with the meaner aristocracy of land and
money.
It is unfortunate for Mr. John Gary
Evans that nobody except himself bas
ever held bim up as an exemplar of the
supreme greatness of Sooth Carolioa.
There is on record a list of illustrious
men who have been governors of Sooth
Carolina and they afford a strange com?
mentary on the assertion that they rep?
resented the aristocracy of land aud
money, while the head of the present
regime stands for the aristocracy of
brains. The contrast is quite as strik?
ingly shown by South Carolina's choice
of senators. Where Calhoun sat we
now see Irby and the chair of Hayoe
will soon be claimed by Tillman
Young Governor Evans has justified

"Think of it ! Three men are given
power to pass upon the government of
every town and city in South Carolina,
and say whether or not the laws of the
State are properly enforced or oot. If
two of these men should fancy that the
laws are not properly enforced in aoy or
all the cities and towns they have the
power to take charge of their police.
What a tremendous machioe this is !
At a moment's caprice two State
officers can behead every policeman in
Sooth Carolina, and have at their dis?
posal a whole raft of offices to reward
political adherents. They can govern
every town and city in the State. They
can use the entire police force as poli?
tical heelers. Suppose two of the suc?
cessors of tho Governor, Comptroller
General and Secretary of State should
be grasping, ambitions men, how they
could control the cities and towns !
