A conductor on the Chicago and

forbidden honeymoon "billing and coo

Out of place, he forbade further demon

Tub SricTAL Session.?Those who
jrrpfess to be informed say that the
special session of the Legislature, which
convenes on the 21st October, has been
i called to consider the recent decision of
tho. Supreme Court in the Morton A
Bliss bond case. A bill is to be pro
seated, and it is eipecled that it will
pass, taking away from the comptroller
the power to levy a tax to pay the inter
est on the bond. Should the Governor
veto the bill, it is asserted that thcro is
no doubt but that it will be passed over
bis head. The bill will be an exact
copy of the one ratified last year, which
was mysteriously lost on its way from
tho enrolling committee totho Governor.

A Detroit paper relates the following
story in connection with the dog tax in
that city : "A boy about icn years of
age, leading a lively little dog, cnilud at
the Central Station and asked if that
was the placo whero they shot dogs.
Being answered in the affirmative, he
said: "Well, please shoot my poor
little Dan. He's an awful good dog,
and he'plays with the baby all day, but
?father's dead, and mother's sick, and 1
can't raise money to get a license." Then
turning to the dog the boy stroked him
saying, *Poor Dan ; how Billy will cry
whon I tell him you are dead !' Groat
big tears rolled down tho boy's fuco and
is a little time those around him made a
puree sufficient to save his dog, and a
ffrson went with him after the license.
The boy's eyes fairly spark'ed at his
unexpected luck, and, speaking to the
dog, ha cried, 'Hut you're saved, let's go
light home to Billy !"
Tho N"ew York ITorald's money article
of Sunday, under the head of Southern
Securities says: "The dealings in this *
market were so limited as scarcely tt
deserve commen*. An effort is again
beiug made to foist some of tho worth
less issue* of South Carolina o-nthe mar
ket, and to again soducc the pnblio into
buying bonds which sooner or later
must undergo material chango for the
worse. These efforts are stimulated by
a recent decision of the Supreme Court
of that State, which unfortunately, as
vre are informed, cannot be reviewed by
the Supreme Court of the Unitod States.
The people of South Carolina will un
questionably pay with eheeriulnoss what
if legitimately due op their public debt,
but the temper ef tho State, if we may
judge from th* tone of its press and tho
statcrasnts of it* leading citizens, is
fiercely antagonistic to any swindle, even
though it be perpetrated by a legislature
and enforoed by a count."

M. de Cassagnac reoeived a wound which,
beginning above his glove, rau up the

without interval or respite, did their
weapons meet, and each time thero was
a succession of thrusts, parries aud feints,
performed with almost naugicul celerity.
Twice the adversaries come into bodily

the blood which tilled hit* shirt slscve.
The duol lasted fourteen minutes, and
the soconda proposed a suspension which

Republicans became awire tint the
Indcpoudcnls' were in a majority, and,
in effect, g.-ive up the struggle. This

bring to their administration of uur
municipal affairs (as wc believe indeed
they will) a spirit of fairness toward
men of all colors ami parties, and a
desire, demonstrated by winks, to favor
rather than retard that rapid jot healthy
growth of which Orangcburg has al
ready shown herself so capable.
Let us have new streets, a town Mar

A ?raTC Question.
Unquestionably tho gravest sernjeel
of public consideration lor the people
of lira Slate is the disposition of uur
debt. There is enough of confusion
and uncertainty in its condition to
occupy the wisest finnieiers of the time.
The refusal or neglect to pay interest,
together with other issues raised, have
already completely floored the credit of
tho State. Confidence has gone ami
the trump of resurrection will not re
store it, if another session of the Legis
lature passes without seme practical
solution. We understand, from one
who ought to Lnow, that tho bonds of
this State oT every class have been
"-expelled the Stock Kxehangc, and that
there is an understanding with the
bankers, brokers ami business men of
the North not to accept them, nor, in
! fact, any security subject to public
control as collateral lor loans Our
bonds are quoted day after day at tho
same figure, and we take it their stand
ing in the. marRufc is merely nominal.
The court has exhausted its authority
in placing the rights of the creditor
under the sanctJon of the constitution
itself. M't venture to say that no S*tatc
in the Union has ever'boforo lifted the
rights of the creditor to suoh a para
mount bright, and up to this time it
has not had any appreciable effect on
the bondo nor contributed muoh to the
restoration of public confidence. The
Legislature is ss rightfully jealous of its
authority over the whole subject ef the
finances, and the time is ?3 short before
tho proposed special session, that tho
mackinory to collect that tax could hardly
be ?et in motion, even if it had not be
oomo so odious in the eyes of the people
as to- inulte iis collect ion without the
special sanction of tho Legislature any
thing but easy and agrecablo task
Practioally, therefore, the deoision hus
been without effect, except ai it
may tend to weaken or assist
the contemplated actiou of tho
supremo powor of tho State, rested io
tho Legislature, upon the subject. A
shadow has overwhelmed our oredit,
and, anxious as the Republican party is
to make some fuir and houorablo adjust
ment, the only hope in t his emergency
rests in the wisdom and authority of the
Legislature.? Union-Herald*

A BOLD PLAN FOR S TRAIG II VEX
IN U TUE KI VEIL
One Hundred and Twenty
Acres of Lnnd lo be Kcclnim
eel at a Coat of One Million
Dollars*
[ConnssroNnr.xcKor tiik. NkWs k Couaiaa.]
Leigh Hunt has touchingly remarked,
"I for my part mnst ft ill endeavor, till I
die, to push the world u little further
into the suushiue." Although my
world is a very narrow one, 1 trust that
a iomowhat kindred motivo prompted
mo to intrude my thoughts upon those
of your readers most directly interested
iu this matter, and whom 1 can better
reach through your generally circulated
journal than by any other means. I
beg lcavo to premiso that l am very
conscious that thcro are many better
able to present this subject in its true
light thau 1 am, but ad tbwy have not
done so, upon my repeated invitation, I
venture again, more at length, to bring
it to view. 1 have repeatedly cxptesscd
the opinion that the
15N RECLAIM ED LANDS ON TIIK WATER EE,
now enmparately u?eless, would feed the
State if brought into safe cultivation.
If this proposition can be substantiated,
suroly a State badly provisioned will
make great efforts to reclaim these
lauds. This is no new idea. J'ifty year.s
since Col. Adam Blanding was most
earnest in this matter, and just boforc
the war intelligent and patrotic gent le
rnen had devised and were prepared to
execute a scheme to effectuate this great
work. It may be well to observe thai
in the opinion of many of more enlarged
experience and observation than I can
assume to have, there arc. in this State,
NO LANDS COMPARABLE TO TfJUSB
of the Watcrcc for the production of
corn, except, perhaps, those on the
uppor Pcedce. Indued, 1 hare known
person "of experience who have aaniincd
carefully the river lauds and pr.iries of
the Fouthwest, who regarded the
Watereo lands superior for corn pro
duct. We have cotton lands iu abund
ance all over our State, but our uplands
are unsuited to ooru and tho grasses.
We have lauds .suited to these products,
but our Nile which enriches the land
devours rctnorsclcs-sly its products. The
product, per acre, in corn on Wateree
lands equals that oi the Ohio Valley
and the prairie* of the great Wcat, but
freshets and want of drainage render the
crops uncertain ta the extreme. There
arc between the shoals at Camden and
the junction with tho Congarec one
hundred aud twenty thousand acres of
BWamp land, uuw of little value, with
the exception of a few plantations near
Camden, which are capable of produc
ing, without manure, over
fIFTY BUSHELS OF COHN DER AClfE,
if well drained and cultivated, or
I surpassing in native grasses the blue
grass of Kentucky. Now it is equally
impossible to cu'tivate these lands, or to
expose sheep to the inroads of the
freshets. When labor was abuudaul
and compulsory the lauds could, to n
moderately certain extent, be protected
by embankment, and were valued at
fifty dollars per acre : now the greater
portion of them is deserted. A few,
somewhat protected, even now are vain
ed at thirty dollars per acre, while
thousand* of acres ol I he richest lands
in the State could be bought at two
dollars per acre, and some at one dollar
per ucrc. Suppose these utilized and
producing millions ol bushels ol grain,
thousands of horses, mules, cuttle, sheep
and bogs, and reflect that many of these
things aio now importe'd into the State
at an cxpenpc of tranportation exceed
ing their prime cost Tho whole of
these lauds would not now sell at an
average ol ten. dollars per aero. Indued.
I know places where, subdivided, the
swamp lands, hitherto nioul valuable,
will not sell at all even at two to three
dollar* psi acre, whilo open uplands
adjoining sell readily for twenty live
dollnrs per acre. The good uplands in
this State near railroads are pretty well
appreciated, and can soon "begin to
stand alone," although their inferiority
te bottom lands for grata is universally
acknowledged. Lands which will pro
duce fifty to sixty bushels of corn per
aore, or a bale of cotton without man
ure, sre surely worth fifty dollars per
acre, piobably ono hundred dollars ; but
even rate them at fifty dollars, their
present value docs not exceed ten dollars
per acre. I am informed upon good
authority, from one who hns examined
into the subject from good data aud
thorough acquaintance with the whole
swamp, that it will cost about
UN K MILLION OK HOLLAHS
to straighten tho river and perfect tho
lateral draius and dykes. If thin be so,
und its verity can easily be tested or
disproved, this work would add four
millions of dollars to the wealth of
Kershaw, Ilichland and Sumtcr Coun
tics, and of taxable property to the
State. That this work will be done in
time cannot be doubted. It is impor
tant that it bo done now while the lands
aro depressed in value, and can only
thus be enhancod, ?and while they arc
yet under the control of our own people.
It is earnestly hoped that a joint stock
company will be formed at onco by
those immediately concerned, and tho
work kept with all its profits among
ourselves. It is deemed certain that
the Legislature, in view of the immense
addition of* taxable property to be
created, will
KXE.tll'T THE LAND? OF Til IS COM PAN V
FROM TAXATION
for a period of ton years. Will not the
"large proprietors, whoso lands are a
burden to them, earnostly join in this
work, which will require from them
only a contribution in lands, which will
becomo a heavier burden still unless
sonic effort is made to redeem them ?

Wc clip from the Sumtcr Walrhni mi
this charming picture of countrylife and
most truthful illustration of the pros
perity of the colored pc.nle. We do
not care to publish the political sugges
tions of tho writer, because wc think
that in the honest and earnest political
influence of the colored people is the
salvation of the State. The eorrospoti
dence of the. Watt hman says:
''On cither side of the dean but ir
regular path, a variety of plants and
flowers shed thuir fragrance on the sum
mer air, an old fashioned sweet rose tree
being the most conspicuous. Tho cy
press climbed tho cottage window, and
its bright scarlet blossoms seeuie d to
welcome the visitor. Through an open
gateway wo bsw the ueat little vegetable
garden, w ith a grape arbor in the mid
dle, and a good supply of those eiculents
which go far to make up the least of u
farmer. A few raspberry bushes and i?n
occasional fruit tree stiowc.I that the
occupant kucw the valve of good
fruit.
"On entering tho cottage, wo were
struck with the extreme uoatness and
cleanliness of every portion. The walls
were nicely white washed and adorned
with sonic cheap priuts. A small cup
board exhibited through its glass, doors
a modest stock of crockery, bright and
clean. A musket was suspended above
the door, a water bucket stood on the
shelf, its brass hoops burnished like
gold. The floor and the deal table wore
scrubbed with the utmost care. A few
books were seen on a?shelf, and gave a
new charm to the room. The cottage
was of the most humble kind. It was
built of round limb* lor scantling, and
clapboards instead of lumber. There
were four small rooms, all apparently
neat and orderly.
1 The farmer who lives thero told us
that he and his two daughters (he was a
widower) cultivated his little farm of
eight acios and kept everything in order
in the house. His laud had been bought
* y his hard earnings as a farmer and
gardncr in the neighboring town, and
his cottage was built by his own hands.
? lie had bis little wagon and mule,
but could not yet afford the luxury of a
cow.
'Tie seemed tbe picture of Content
ment, and we could not helpcomp tring
his life of hard and honest labor, ch? r
cd by tho sweet but simple joys with
which Uj had summit led himself, to
the core worm and troubled existence
which is the fate of many.
'?Ami now. gentle leader, you no
doubt have located this cottage in some
rural district of Old or New Kngland.
Hut you arc mistaken. The year left
blank above was l>7il, the State South
Carolina, the neighboring town our own
Sunttcr and the precise* locality of the
model farm was, ,/ainc* Hill.
"The farmer was not the sturdy Kn
glish nor wiry New Kughtml peasant,
but a swarthy Southern freed man who
had once been a sieve."
Sure Wouldn't Skll,?A man stop
ped a Tennessee woman, who was driv
ing her family through tho streets, en
route West, and tried to buy her "rig,"
gelling this reply :
"Stranger, yer'er a wastin' ov yer

Will Franco Accept a Ii in?.
The London Spectator dues bot be
lieve that a restoration is possible iu
France without a long and bloody civil
war. The hope ol the Royalists is that
the Assembly will meet, and their party,
by the coalescing of the Orleans branch
under the leadership of tho (Jointe de
Paris, and the Legitimists, under the
Cointc de Chambord, will simply pro
elaim the latter King as Henry V.
That decree once passed, no resistance
is, as they fancy, possible; for Marshal
McMahon has promised to obey any
deciec of the Assembly; the civil authori
ties have all been secured by sweeping
changes, and still more sweeping threats
and the peasantry themselves will be
either charmed with the restoration or
bo merely passive. The Kin^, restored
to his throne, will grant whatever liber
tics he pleases; the nobles will be grati
fied with a Second Chamber; the priests
with tho control of education; and the
ancient, happiness of France will bo res
tored with her ancient monarchy. To
this consummation the interview at
Grobsdorf paved tho way. The unity
iu the Assembly is said to be strong
enough for this purpose; but there is
McMahon and the army, which has no
traditions connected with the BoUrbous .
l! they think that the Republicans will
easily submit, the Legitimists deceive
themselves. There is M. Thiers, still
the second power iu Franco, who iu a
I recent speech said that a liberal mon
archy, his early dream, was no longer
possible and that henceforth he couscc
rated his life to the consolidation of the
Republic; there again are the people, to
whom all the traditions of the Cotnte de
Chambord are antagonistic, and who
will not be ruled in tho nineteenth cen
tury by the ideas of the fifteenth.
