JIOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
From the proceedings of tbo House we extract

J'ULLTO i'RIXTINO.
Mr. J. Johnson? Jr, Chairman Of the Commit
tee on Public Printing made'.a' report of the
Joint Committee on.Public Printing, and eta ted
that the GommUtfe had appointed It W
Gibbe?, printer'-of the permanent work of the
Legislature../'
This report meeting with opposition^ Mr Mullins
rose to'eitilijin tliecanso of the opposition,
on his side of Uje'JJonse. It was not considered
fair to give to Ohe office tji? printing of the whole
of the permftfcertt&vgf}?. .The'IIouse Hind appointed

Mr. Richardooir/uiid'tbat the IJouse. perWyw
was not awafe thnt the resolution did riot Jftj
the Committee shall "recommend," but tha
they "shall appoint." The words were impe
rutire. The Legislature, determined to ge
jid of the annual squabble, and tho angrj
broils attending, an election for a Printer, wise
ly appointed a Joint Committee charged witl
1110 duty of appointing a Printer to do the per
roanent work. The Committee in nppoiDtin(
J)r. Gibbes, had regard for justice, and ther
rwe ground* of justice io making the appoint

! IkK'lit tiny did. Suppose it had been said to |
j the Committee llmt Sir. Pelhnm's concern wns |
I considered unreliable and incompetent to do j
! tlie work. Suppose, too, it had been said tlint j
j Dr. Gibhes was competent and fully prepared ;
i 1o do nil the Work. None of these would have
j had anv influence upon the Committee. There |
| were, however. fact* liro'iL'lit before the Coin- j
; mittee. and those facts still exist, which are I
j that K. 11. Urittori <fc Co.. whom Mr. IMhtim I
j succeeded, had received $?5.0Oi1 more for the j
. public pi intint; than Dr. (libbes. In appoint i
| intj Dr. Gibbcs now, the Committee had onlv !
! done an act of justice, and had made an effort to I
j hrintrahout an cju.-ilitV. Gentlemen who know I
j nie, will acquit me of the charge of partiality j
t<? Dr. Gibbes* paper. It is well known that |
when 1 had the honor to he Chairman of this j
Committee, that all my power was thrown the |
other way. In support in*; the report of the j
Committee now, I am only doing a duly. The j
House has surrendered its tmst.und cannot
now reverse it. It h is been said that it hint I
been tlie custom to divide the permanent, work.
Such is not (lie case. Tlio work wasdiviUed to
brine about nn equality ; but wo have overrun
that equality, and it was nothing bofc a dutv to
restore it. The House would stultify itself,
should it reverse the decissiou of,the Committoe.
Mr. Imrli? inferred from nil the information
io the possession of the House, thnl4u>th offices
were fully competent to do the work. .There
were two papers in this city, each of which he.
supposed hud, with a view to this appointment, j
pone to some considerable expense in purchasing
the materials requisite to complete it. in
ease thev were appointed. What we of the
other side nsk, is nothing but a fair d ivision.
It i.-j no opposition to Dr.'Gibbes that causes lis
to oppose the notion of the Committee. It is
true that the House is not in possession of nil
tho information necessary to enable them to
coincide with the Committee. Ilia Committee
110 doiibt had sufficient reasons for mnkiucr
tin-appointment thev did. but he submittal '
t lint the judgement of i he Itouee upon this quea |
t???n micht'be very different from tluit. of the i
Committee. He linil preat respect for the j
Committe, and ulso for it* members, hut tlic |
question wns, would the House net in thednrk, !
or maintain an independent, judirenxmt I Tlio i
House hml been told thrft or.e office hud receiv- |
ed a much larger amount than the other. He |
would not dispute that statement, for it wns 1
tiof. in his power to <lo so. He imagined, how- i
ever, that if we went bade and examined, we j
would find that- Dr. Gibbes bad r<eeivoil o I
much lamer amount thar. the oilier office. We !
th> not a"k the llou.-e to take the work from j
Dr. fti'?bes: ffciiily ask a fair division, 'flic ;
only difficulty, in his mind, was the wording
r.r 11.? fo^dliition : but he had no doubt Imt t'ml I
th<?Spanker would enlighten t.lio ILxmo upna
thin matter. The language in fho resolution j
wns very strihgent, but lie could not conceive
that tlio House ever intended tliat a committee
should ho allowed to take the ballnnce of potrer
out of its ha ads.
The Speaker, without making any remarks
upon the subject, read the resolution of 1SM>,
and also the report of the joint Committee up
pointing Dr. (Iibl.es. lie expressed a willing, i
ness to put the ^u. stion on tin* proposed amend- ;
mi'nt made bv Mr. Mullins. whenever that pen- 1
tlcmnn signified in what form lie wit-hod it put. j
Mr. Mullins and Mr. Richardson then both ,
spoke briefly but earnestly upon the subject
matter before the House.
Mr. McGowan said thn discussion had brought
out a poirit of 'principle, which to him j
was <>f more iiRprrtancc than the elect ion rf
a Stale printer. If it be true, as was contendoil
bv some, that the Legislature. in appoint I
ine tiiis Committer, hud conferred upon it nn '
absolute right, and had oelefcntcd to ii all pow
er, tlicn tire 'Eou?e lin>! nothing to do with
their irtition. This he did not consider the
proper interpretation of the resolution. The
Committee had no authority to "appoint" a
printer to do tbe permanent, work, but were
only to nominate, or indie-ite some one ns a proper
person. This being done, 'Jivirnction was
inchoate and irnpefect until continued by the
House. The House had appointed a Joint
Committee to m<ikc arrangements for attending :
the Annual Commencement of the South Carolina
College. No one would sny, that that Committee
had power to uet. independent of the
House. All they did must be inchoate and im- j
perfect until confirmed by the House. At the
time that itesolution was passed the House di I
viilcil tho permanent work, piving it. one session
to Dr, Gibbes, and to K. II. Britton it Co., tin?
next. The House never intended that this j
Joint Commit tee should he above tho House; ;
nil tho analogies of the House nre against it.? j
If, however, the ?-ther viow should prevail,]
then the House must submit ; but if the view i
betook was a proper one, thon tiie House
would con linn or reverse the decision of the
t Committee. No one objects to Dr. Gibbes.?
lie did not, but he took the ground that equality
is equity. The permanent work, bo understood.
was the most profitable part of the pub- I
lie printing, and therefore most desired b\' the
j printers. The Committee had given it to Dr.
[ Gibbes for this reason. The question now to
be decided i?, wh? shall have it at the next
session 1 He trusted tho amendment would
be adopted.
I omitted to state, at the proper time, that
Mr. J. Johnson, Jr., Chairman, rend the rosolu
t?on 01 lboo, nnn eunnuticn mo notion oi the
Committee to the House without-comment.
The House divided epen the question.?Will
the House receive the amendment, f Tlio vote
stood 71 in favor nnd 37 against, so the amendment
was received. Ii:
payment or juaons.
Tiie report of the Committee on a bill to increase
the compensation to Grand and Petit
Juror*, reported unfavorably, and recommended
that the bill do not puss. f
Mr. Inglis moved that the bill do lio on the
table.
The rule of the House having b?en complied
"with preparatory to any discussion on the hill.
Mr. Inglit< 6a id he w ished to state his reason*
for having made his present motion. He*had,
he said, during the past summer, been compel,
led'to consider with some eare, this subject of
the compensation -of jurors, and the result of
his reflections had been a modification to some
extent of opinions piwiously entertained. On
a former occasion in this House, lie voted
against a proposition to allow in addition to
the daily pay provided by the present law,
mileage of ten cents, going nnd returning. My
views [continued Mr. Inglisl of the .principle
which lies ut the "bottom of this whole legislation
have undergone nn entire change since
then. I have come to think that I was wrong
in the application of that principle. I suppose
I it was never designed by the legislature that
' the citizen, rendering in bis turn, this pubHc
j service, should thereout make any pecuniary
gain to himself, but at the snme time it was inWuded
to jirotect him against any pecuniary
loss. lie is taken for several consecutive days
from hie homo and his business, for the purpose
of serving the public, and this i? sufficient
I jjmcrifjce to be exacted of him for the public

. ?There were duties to perform in the Stat

sidcred tlic milc.ico system much preferable to
i that proposed. If the pr?|>usi'>l bill were passsod
into ? law, the man who lived beside tlie
Court. House nntl the tirnn -who was obliged to
travel thirty miles to attend asa Juror would
be put upon the snnie footing. Although the
bill was proliH'led by his colleague ho felt
bound to oppose it, and trusted that the House
would not pass it. The fwjfc W:is. there was at
present a growing disposition to ask to be paid
handsomely for every service rendered to the
State : and even in the present Si'ssiun he was
aware thai projects were on foot to increase
the salaries of Judges ivt;d 111 fact ofall the oflieers
ot the State ; but for his part he intended
to oppose them all.
Mr. Kd wards said if it. was in order to ntnend
the bill he would suggest that in addition to
one dollar aud fifty cents per day. Jurors
should be allowed fi ve cents per mile going and
roturing otiee to and from the Court House.
Mr. Inglis wasinclined to accept the amend
Illl'll ?
Mr. Thomson enid tliut in one essential pnrticular-tlie
compensation proposed to be made
to Jurors by tins", depend on grounds not applicable
to the different boards of officers in
tlio district?. The Legis'atuio made tlie appointment
of tlie boards of Commissioners for
the districts, Men were nppoiutcd to such offices
beennse they bad leisure and means, were
willing to serve and Could nflford to spate a
small portion of their lime for public services.
The case was different with Jurors. There was
no certainty who might be drawn to serve as
such. Not unfrequently, persons living twentyfive
or thirty tnilvs from the Couit llouse were
drawn. The service ?ere compulsory, and
these men were nft< n poor. To such the sum
of cue dollar and fifty cents per day was inad equate
compensation . In nine cases out of ten
that sum did not pay their expenses, and therefore
two do.lars per day wus not too much for
t bcin.
After some further discussion, Sir. Ed words'
amendment was Agreed to.
Mr. Pope moved to further amend the bill by
proposing thut the tine for non-attendance as
jurors be increased to $100, and 25 per cent oti
the eeneral tax. He wished to carry out tlio
principle of puttinir the poor man and the rich
man upon an equality, und to compel rich inon
to (rive their attendance on public business.
It wns a very Weil known fact lit the present
time (lint some | nrt i?s preferred paying the
fine l<> servinif 41ml when lh??y presented themselves
it ? as not to procecJ to their duties, but
to ascertain the ouiount of the fine f??r iion-at-y
tendv.net. and to pay it. To sit-.rh an extent
bad t !i is evil grown that Judge Ward la w mi *
Iat?* occasion, hail given orders to the Clerks 6f
Courts not to receive those fines, 'l'lie amendment
was ordered lo lie upon the table.

Fine Turnips.
We were presented n few daj's since with
sjsitf remarkably ,li:ie turnips by Mr. M. O.
MeCaslan of our District. The largest one was
indeed a mammoth, an 1 measured 23 incites in
circumference. They were larger and finer
than any we have ever seen. and were superior
to any which were exhibited at the recent
Fair in Columbia.
Sad Accident.
We regret to learn that on Tuesday last, the
boiler attached to the Steam saw mill, of Mr.
A. L. Gray, in this vicinity, exploded, killing
instantly, the negro fireman and dangerously
wounding the superintendent. Mr. John Watson
and a negro of Mrs. McWilliems, the mo
therin-lnw of Mr/Gray. There were no other
persons in the bouse. The explosion was
terrific and made n complete wreck of Lhe
building. The accident arose from some derangement
of the lafcty viilve of the engine.

Tl.o friends of tins road h:iro been forced
i?j^iiiti lo npply to the Legislature for nid to
j complete tlieir great, enterprise. l?y I he Aet
' < fjIS.Vl, tlie Legislature engaged to subscribe
j (lie sum <>f ,000,000 and also to endorse the
bondsvf the Company, to the amount of $1,000,000
if ilie Company would furnish satisfaetory
| proof of their ability to complete the road.
Owing to th<! failure ??f Anson Hanks A Co.,
, t!ie contractors, who bad engaged to furnish
one half of the necessary Capital, the Company j
' are unable to comply witli the condition an- j
j nested to the guarantee of the Statu and desire I
j iis removal, miu iv> mint en-.i msigu in men* mei
inorial divers strong reasons?to wit, the feasibility
of a great enterprise, with liie-ndtlHional
j aid desired, or otherwise the' totnl loss to llie
State of $-2,01)0,000 already expended, if the asI
sistnnee bo withheld.
The cost of ilic work, the resources of the J
j Company, and the policy of extending -the aid !
j desired, are clearly set forth,.in the following j
I extract from the speech of Geo. A. Trc-nholin I
Esq.,'in support of the memorial:
The estimated cost Of the road is In
round numbers $7,725,000
Of this amount, there lias already
been expended on
the work ?2,12G,000
The reinniilitig cash resources
are 915,000
Tile titat'j aid from Tennessee
is 610,000
The guarantee now asked
from South Curolina is, 1,000.000. *1,7-11,000
Leaving a deficiency of. . . . $3,014,000
It must be frankly admitted that there is no
liopo of obtaining any pin t of this sum from
any other source than from the State. The
company entertain the hope that with 81,0(10,000
more of State subscription, reducing the
deficiency to $2,000,000, they will be enabled
to procure the remaining $2,000,000 on their
mortgage bonds without the Stnte's endorse- |
fi.eut. It wouM be contrary to tlio experience
nf the whole country that they should fail in
mi effort. But, suppose tliey did I Sup*
pose they lind to return to the Si rite for it* endorsement
? The Statu would then acquire the
jVoad for *2,000,000 of etoek uiid 8,000,000 of
endorsement. Would th is he too much to pay
fon this great work t If a company prcscntcil
itself here to-day, offering to.eonstruct this great
highway of commerce arid bond of political
union, the grand desideratum of the State for
the last thirty years, at a cost of J7,000,0u0,
ond transfer it to tlio State for the sum of $5,000,000,
could this Legislature hesitate a moment
in closing with such ti proposal ? For if
it is insisted, contrary to the experience of
Georgia, that litis road will not \)Q profitable,
that It will pay no dividends to the stockholders,
thou it follows that it will full into the
hands of the State, in satisfaction of the mortgage.
Xoliody can doubt that, in this case,'it
j would certainly pay the interest on the $<3.i
G4i\000 advanced by South Carolina and Ten|
ncssce, nnd thfe cost to this State would simply
i be the annual interest on the $2,030,000 of subscribed
onp ital.
Mr. Trenholm in his remarks be fore the Committee
of the House, goes on to show that the
resources 6f the State, fully justify theexteuj
sion ofthe aid sought. The pulilie d._*bt of tbo
State excluding the bonds reeeutly issued for
the Blue Ridge Road and the State Capitol, doos
//ot exceed 81,330.00'), to meet which, the
/ State has in tin: Cnpital of Lhe Bank and the sink
| ing Fuiul, tho sum of 81,140,000 ; so that after
| the paj-mentof tills debt, alio will still have iu
j Bank capital 82.800,000 and Railroad shares to
J the amount o-f ?1,342,000.
If it be supposed necessary to complete the
Roa3, to raise the additional euin of $.1,000,000
with the ai3 of tho State ; tlu yeKrly int&rest
upon thissum will be only ?1*20.0.);) or J Cents
on 8100 of property?an inconsiderable tax.
It is the policy to keep clear of debt, yet
I' South Carolina with a noblo'inheritance, valued
at $".60,000,000, and yielding an annual ini
come of$20,00i1,000, ninny well impose a small
! debt upon posterity fur the sake of enhancing
the value of the State.
The Roa-1 is r.otdesigned to benefit n section
but will enure to the general good ; and the ;
I | history of these enterprises show their stimu
t ! luting effeot in enhancing tho value of propor[
| ty, and promoting the general welfare,
f Better we think would it bo to suspend tho
! work upon the State Capitol, than to suffer thi?
great work to fail for want of Legislative aid.
! Report of the President of Che Bftnk of the

A very important error ?ays the Carolinian,
was made in the report of Mr.- Furinan, tho
President of the Bnnk'pf the State. It will l;?
found on the fourth page of the pamphlet copy

^ issue of bonds for the construction of the State
I Capitol. The 143 bonda sold hove produced
s the sum of *136,177.3ft, not $1,838,177.39. The
paragraph should read :

It is now a little over t wo years sini-o our j
club was organi/.ed, nnd with the very fir-t my
name win enrolled upon its' register. I hailcJ
its hirth with peculiar satisfaction, hotli from ;
Hcltiyh ir.btives and also, frt>m t lu* liopu that it !

vr? t ioiuii, 4 cuuiu nuv one occ iiiito o?n?i*ri mug
must be done, or soon our section would be irrevocttblv
ruined ! It w?s my gocd'fortun o
huvu been raised in a section somewhat older
than this, in wbicb the work of cutting down
the native forest#, hud been almost completed
limit twenty-five years ago, and in whirh the
slow and ever tedious chang-i from the old system
had been superseded by that of renovation,
tind manuring had come to be a regular system,
nnd a man's crop was estimated by the amount
of fertilizing matter that was applied to his
land. I say mv good fbrtune, for one does not
know iiow slow people are to change, until he
raises hi* own feeble voice towards it, and instead
of believing that one is actuated by enlarged
und patriotic motives, they seem to
imagine that he is opposing them, and every
failure is put down as an argument against the
truth of his opinions, and oftimes actually gloried
in. The truth is, men hate to change and
long after they see that tliero is actual necessity
for it, thev try nnd pursuade themselves that
they cannot change?ihey reason themselves
into it, nn<l against their convictions stand still
and like the seiibes and pharisres of old, even
keep those who are inclined to try the elinngc
from doing so ! After being raised to the idea
that-Manure was the ''tine qua noti" of all
success in Agriculture to hear men, practical,
successful men affirm that it would uot pay to
inanurp, I have been amazed, and I have said
to myself "what I can it be possible 1" Is there
n difference in the soil and climate of this locality
that manure will not do hrre 1 ll cannot
be! I then looked to sco hnw they applied
it, for they always affirm "that they have
tried it" and the enquiry satisfied me that
they had wofully erred in this respect. A lot
fixed upon the side of'lhe hill, whence the
beating rains of winter had washed all that
was valuable, was raked and the fibroUs matter
hauled to the field?of course disappointment
followed, and the manure (awful misnomer)
was pronounced a humbug!
Is it necessary, my friends, that I should go
lino an argument, lo prove lliat we neeil something
to increase the yield ofottr crops? The
Average yield of corn to the aero iu Abbeville
District is about seven bushels?does any sane
man believe that a negro can earn hid salt at
that rale ? Can wo afford to buy them ?t such
cri?p9 per acre ? Believe me, that in the low
countrj- they have come to the deliberate conclusion
that they cannot cultivate corn for less
than twenty bushels per aere and they are
right'l We do notblame the owners of our
coiintry in its primeval state for cutting down
the timber, for this was their work, but il suacecding
generations could only have known
where ntid. when to stop we would have been
saved a vast deal of loss and labor. If each
owner of laud had scrupulously left certain bodies
of woods contiguous to his settlement,
from wliicii the trash, the great source of food
for renovatjon, might have been taken year by
year, Iiovt ilmerent would our sta? now bo !
Let me intrcatyou my friends, who have 3'et
remaining one singleacre of trnali land, to spare
| it, >w you Wami'.J spare the hen tli.it daily laid
a go 1 Jen egg for you ! T speak now what I
! know?what I have seen?what I have tried?
J that in our forests lie our chief hopo ofimprov
ment. Let(hose who have woodland commence
at once and make it a part of their system nn?]
time will prove that I am right. In the wet
days of winter let the hands rak* up the trash
and have it hauled into your lota?have the
stahlo cleared out every two weeks, and free!
' trash thrown into it. The place for the ma
nuro heap should be so arranged that the raina
etinnort wash the liquid away. Before clean inj
out vour stable cover the place-there a fe?
feet with trash and then put tint manure upoi
that and cover it with another layer of trashalternating
with trash and manure. The trash
at (he bottom absorbs the liquid manure, whih
the layer on top prevents the sun from drawing
off* the gasses. I say rake in wet day*, but
if a man has'-trash, ho had better put a hand or
so, the old ones or pregnant women, at it am
keep them ut it nil the timo. A hand shouk
rnke 12 loa.la a day?that is as much as a mult
cun haul at one time, should be counted as on<
heap and 12 heaps as the task a day. Next th
'cattle and sheep should bo penned regular!;
and the pun kept filled all the-time?let th
pen ho arranged (during the summer) at som<
point convenient to a field, and keep haulini
into it as fast as the trash becomes well tramp
ed. This will greatly expedite the haulingou
"in the Spring. In the winter the cattle and sbee]
hould have ft good shelter and this filled witl
trash from timo to time. If they even have n
st)e}ter, a pen filled with trash is warmer thai
without it, and by penuing your sheop yo
gain one-gr?at points in saving them from dogs

The Secretary of the Mount Vernon Association
hosjust issued n report. We learn from it
that the progress of the Association, since tliu
signing o contract in April Inst, has been most
gratifying. The Stales of Maine, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, Conncdticut, New York, Ne?v
.lersy. Ohio atid Floiida. have been fully organized
under admirable Vice-Repents, in such a
manner that every inhabitant will have the opportunity
presented of enrolling his or her
name among the original purchasers of Mount
Vernon and from the encouraging nature of ill*
reports it is believed the returns, both of names
and fund?, will be large.
During the pnat month, the following Vice
Regents have been appointed:
Mrs. Jane Maria Van Antwerp, for Iowa.
Mrs. Margaret Ann Comegys, for Delaware.
Mrs. Hannah Bhike Fftrnsworth, for Michigan
Mrs. Surah King Ilnle, for New Hampshire.
A correspondence lins been opened on this
