THURSDAY MORNING, JAN. 8,1880.
TEDS WOKK OF THE SESSION.
The Legislature which has just ad?
journed has done many things which it
ought not to have done, and has left un?
done many others which it onght to have
attended.to, but, despite these shortcom?
ings, it has done a great deal for which
it is entitled to commendation. To begin
with, it has kept the length of the session
within one month, thereby setting an ex?
ample which the people, if wise, will
insist shall always be followed in the
future. A short session is the only safe?
guard against extravagance and a multi?
plicity of laws. The Legislature costs
the State about twelve hundred dollars
per day, and it is decided economy to
bare the session reduced to the lowest
figure at which the business can be at?
tended to. We have too much legisla?
tion, and nothing is so fruitful of it as
long sessions. The real interests of the
State will be promoted by only making
such changes in the law as may be shown
to be necessary, and not going into the
theoretical legislation which long sessions
are likely to entail. With short sessions
: once firmly established, the members will
hereafter prepare such bills as are im?
portant before the meeting, and present
them promptly, whereby their considera?
tion will be assured, and all the necessi?
ties of the country amply met. The
Legislature has taken this step in the
right direction.
Another good measure, for the passage
of which the Legislature deserves credit,
is the "Act to prevent the intermarrying
of races," which is necessary for the pa?
rity of society and the proper protection
of both races. Nearly every State in the
Union, North, South and West, has such
a law, and our Legislature has done well
in-passing it Capt. Massey, of York, is
entitled to the credit of introducing the
measure in the House.
The Act to prevent railroads from run?
ning or loading freight trains on Sunday
was passed in such shape as to prohibit
. the loading of freight trains on Sunday
or the running of any trains except those
carrying passengers, the mails and ex
ptesi It r rrgood measure, and meets
? th enaction of the Christian ssntiroeut
gtthe State.
^..The Joint Ivesolution amending tho
Cfcnstiration as to the homestead law
.passed both Houses, and is to be voted
on by the people, ! It will, no doubt, be?
come a part, of the Constitution, and
then all trouble about the unfair distinc?
tion, which is made by the present law,
will be remedied. There were several
Joint Resolutions introduced to accom?
plish this purpose, and the Judiciary
Committee of the House reported a sub?
stitute for them, and finally they were
all tabled. The Senate resolution was
taken up and greatly amended, and in
that shape it passed so as to allow the
exemptions equally to every class of our
citizens.
The Act to require railroads to furnish
consignees an itemized statement of
freight charges over the different roads
upon which freight has been brought,
and requiring them to settle their bills
according to the contract as set forth in
the bill of lading, has become a law, and
now persons receiving .freights are enti?
tled to a full statement of the charges on
each road, so that errors and discrimina?
tions may be detected. The Act also re?
quires railroads to settle their charges ac?
cording to the contract as set forth in the
bill of lading, which, in effect, requires
the railroads to adjust overcharges among
themselves without inconveniencing the
consignee by'requiring him to pay the
overcharge and trust to having it refund?
ed to him in the future. This, of course,
only applies to cases where the rate of
freight is expressed in the bill of ladiner.

.... An Act to require railroad corporations
to carry cotton by weight instead of
measurement was passed to prevent ex?
cessive freight charges by some compa?
nies which have been charging by the
cubic feet instead of by the pound for
transporting cotton.
An Act to require Trial Justices on
going out of office to turn their books
and records over to some other Trial Jus?
tice of the County was introduced by Dr.
Brown, and will remedy in future the
evil of having to bring new suits on judg?
ments given by a Trial Justice who hsa
gone out of office.
One of the most important and valua?
ble Acts that was passed is the Act to
create a Department of Agriculture,
which provides for the collection of ag?
ricultural information and statistics as
to our mineral and agricultural wealth,
with a Depart ? ?. ?; Immigration, au*
aisje.tjc inspectiou ; f phosphates ; 1
the coltccticTf the phosphate rrwwty. '?
The Bill is a very excellent one, :-.a?: if;
carried out properly wiL! bv of very gre.?? j
service to the State, xt was originally
intended to put a tax of five hundred
dollars on each phosphate company to
sustain this department, but was amend?
ed in the House so as to put an inspec?
tion tax of twenty-five cents on each ton
of phosphate. This will raise a sum of
about twelve or fifteen thousand dollars,
and will, instead of increasing the ex?
penses of the government, decrease them,
for it abolishes the offices of Fish Com?
missioner, Phosphate Agent and Phos?
phate Inspector, which will save the
State thirty-seven hundred dollars per
year, and the fees of inspecting phos?
phates will, instead of going to one man
as they have done heretofore*, go to pay
.ing the expenses of this department,
which will do the work of all three of
these officers.
We will give a further synopsis of the
legislation of the session in our next
issue.
? Major Wade Hampton, the oldest
son of Senator Hampton?the son of his
first wife?died at his home, in Wash?
ington County, Mississippi, on Monday
the 29th. He was some 38 or 89 years of
' age, and was married, only a few months
back, to Miss Phelan, of Memphis.
THE EBBOBS IN THE STJPPI.T BOX.
Considerable commotion has been cre?
ated in some quarters by the discovery
that the Supply Bill was incorrectly en?
rolled, and so ratified and approved, con?
taining the Senate's amendments to the
House bill, which were as follows: First,
State tax, 4$ mills, instead of 4} mills;
second, no tax to pay back indebtedness
of Marion County, and third, $3,000 for
the fourth Brigade of Charleston. These
first and third amendments were, on mo?
tion of Mr. Murray, not agreed to, and
the second was, on motion of Mr. Moody,
not agreed to. In this shape a confer?
ence Committee on the part of the two
Houses was appointed, consisting of
Messrs. John B. Cleveland, T. C. Moody
and W. C. Brown on part of the House,
and two Senators, who agreed to recede
from the Senate amendments, and the
report of this committee was adopted by
both Houses, so that the amendments
were stricken out. The bill was then, in the
Senate, ordered to be changed to an Act
and enrolled for ratification. This was
done, and the Committee on Enrolled Acts
reported it properly enrolled and ready for
ratification, upon which the President of
the Senate and Speaker of the House, in
accordance with the rules, ratified the
the Act It wa3 then presented to the
Governor and approved by him, two days
after which it was discovered the Bill
had been ratified and approved in a dif?
ferent form from that in which it was
passed. This presents the question as to
whether the Act id valid or not, inas?
much as it is not approved in the shape
in which it passed. Those who contend
for its validity claim that it is essenti?
ally the Bill as passed, and that the evi?
dences of its genuineness being its ratifi?
cation and approval are such as to give
it validity, although irregularities have
attended its enrollment, while those who
contend against it claim that it is no Act
at all, inasmuch as it did not pass the
Legislature in the way that it was ratified
and approved. The question has not
been discussed at very great length in
any of the .papers, except the Register,
which desires an extra session of the
Legislature to correct the error. This
will hardly be called, however, for the
cost of bringing the Legislature together
would amount to nearly as much as the
additional tax, and if the session should
last ten days or two weeks it would
amount to considerably more than the
additional tax. The law will, therefore,
go upon the statute books and be enforc?
ed in its erroneous form,' for it is cheaper
to do this than to assemble the Legisla?
ture to correct it.
"THE AIKJEX IDEA."
The position of Hon. D. Wyatl Aiken,
our immediate Representative in Con?
gress, has been quite a surprise, and the
subject of very general discussion among
his constituents. Col. Aiken has nevcr4 (
had much love for the Northern Democ?
racy, but we had supposed he recognized
the necessity for a close, solid and ag?
gressive alliance between the Democrats
of the whole country, in order to success?
fully combat the cohorts of Republican?
ism, which is held together throughout
the entire Union by the cohesive power
of public plunder, as it has been aptly
termed. Indeed, we presumed that he
was a firm and unyielding Democrat,
devoted to the principles of the party,
and are no little puzzled to know just
what his position in the matter is. We
do not agree with him in thinking that
both political parties have outlived their
usefulness, for we hold that the Demo?
cratic party represents truly the genius
of our Eepubh -.an institutions, and its
triumph will not be a useless one, but
will mark the return of our country to
the pure and patriotic government of our
forefathers. We may have o ur preferences
as to men in this party, but its men are
insignificant cam pared with the principles
of the party, and it is this that makes the
destined .o triumph t o u Rep iblic lasts.
L'be contest now is one of 5r>eraucnil!C
government or of Republican centrail
t;on, and so, such a comb it iherc is so I
time to slicsl? o^r rfllabr raters. .
'Derstcrat nominated for President will j
be better for the country than my Rc-1
publican, bec-iuj- tits ;'?raiei will repre?
sent constitutional government by the
people while the latter will represent the
monarchial and centralized tendency of
the huge monopolies which are seeking
a strong government the better to main?
tain their increasing power and influence.
In view of these facts, we think the let?
ters of Col. Aiken untimely and unfortu?
nate. They tend to weaken the National
Democratic party as far as they have any
influence, and to produce disaffection at
home. While every aim should be to
bring the whole Democracy into compact
line, the result of the expression of such
views as those expressed by Col. Aiken is
to discourage, if not to disintegrate, the
party. Even if his assumption that both
parties have outlived their usefulness is
correct, which we dissent from, it does
not help Col. Aiken, for it is reduced to
a choice between these parties anyway.
It is impossible now to organize a new
.arty to run a canvass this year. Such
thing has never happened, and, it is
?fe to predict, will never happen. New
parties have always required years to de
. lop strength for success. The lines
are, therefore, closely drawn, and there
is no room for straggling. Every voter
must either support the Democratic
ticket or give a direct or negative sup?
port to the Republicans. There is no
chance of bringing in any other party,
and even if there was, Col. Aiken is not
in position to inaugurate it, for he is a
Democrat, and, therefore, in the minori?
ty. He cannot hope by splitting the
minority to also split the majority, for
his influence does not reach that party.
His plan is very much of an effort to de?
feat the majority by disbanding the mi?
nority, and cannot sncceed.
It is now said that Mr. Tilden realizes
that be cannot be the next President,
and is determined, also, that Senator
Bayard shall not be. If this be true, it
settles the question as to his nomination,
for the Democratic party cannot afford to
nominate any man who would be bitterly
fought by either wing of the New York
Democracy, for ho would certainly be
defeated. We expect, however, that
there is nothing more definite than sus
gicion in this case, for Mr. Tilden and
enator Bayard have always been very
friendly, and it is not improbable that
Mr. Tilden's influence will go to secure
the nomination for Bayard.
The taxes for Anderson County during
the present year will be 9} mills, in?
cluding everything. This is on the last
assessment, which is considerably below
the asssessment of the year before, and,
therefore, the amount raised by the tax
this year will probably be equivalent to
what would have been raised by 9 mills
last year. This tax is to be paid in two
installments this year as it was last, with
a penalty of five per cent, on the first
half if not paid.
The Senate committee, with General
Taft as chairman, appointed at the first
session of the last Legislature to investi?
gate the investigating committee, of
which Senator Cochran was chairman,
reported just before the adjournment of
the Legislature, completely endorsing
the committee and approving of its work.
It seems that there was a difference be?
tween Taft and Mr. Cochran, which led
the former to desire to catch the latter in
some irregularity in the work of the in?
vestigating committee. In order to do
this be had a committee appointed to
overlook the accounts and work of that
committee. It seems that a large
amount of the testimony was copied in
the hand-writing of-a member of Mr.
Cochran's family, and Mr. Taft expected
to show that large sums of money had
been paid for this work, while the testi?
mony and vouchers showed that it had
been done gratuitously, and that the
State actually owed Mr. Cochran a bal?
ance on the compensation provided for
the committee. The report of the com?
mittee was adopted by the Senate, and
thus the investigating committee has
been vindicated and Mr. Taf> completely
foiled in bis expectation of involving Mr.
Cochran.
In our editorial correspondence from
Columbia, under date of December 23, we
did Speaker Sheppard an injustice in
saying that he had violated every parlia?
mentary rule in appointing a committee
of conference on the Appropriation Bill
who were not in accord with the House
in refusing to agree to the Senate amend?
ments increasing the appropriation." by
some thirty-five thousand dollars. The
committee consisted of Messrs. John
stone, Simonton and Aldricb, and when
the conference met the House committee
agreed substantially to every amendment
made by the Senate. When the report
came in, Mr. Sheppard stated that he
had been informed that he had appointed
a conference committee which was not in
sympathy with the action of the House,
upon which each member of the commit?
tee stated that be had voted against some
one or more of the Senate amendments,
which placed them all in affinity with
the action of the House, and gave to the
Speaker the right to appoint them on
this committee without violating the re?
quirements of parliamentary law. The
selection of the committee was, however,
generally considered by the advocates of
reducing the Appropriation Bill as un?
fortunate, and as equivalent to yielding
the position of the House, as the gentle?
men on the committee had throughout
the whole session, with the occasional
exception of Mr. Aldricb, voted for the
larger appropriations. The result was,
therefore, fully predicted and expected
as Boon as the committee was announced.
It was an unfortunate selection for those
who were seeking to cut down the appro?
priations, but there was nothing in it to
reflect either upon the Speaker or the
gentlemen appointed, and we make this
correction injustice to all of the parties
concerned.
Our contemporary, the Columbia Regis?
ter, appears to us to be devoting a great
deal of valuable time and space to con?
demning the short session of the Legis?
lature, and as if to clinch its objections
it urges that the errors in the Supply Bill
are the result of the short session. Our
contemporary must know that however
long iL :. :&>.jC i .>: Ji a cast ;ra no1: to '
p:<..>lh<; Supply Bill until the lttft of the j
session, for '?'< is necessary thy: all of in'* j

>,?>: !?? been six months long t>?c Sup-j
ply Bill woo :l no: u.i7* br :n passed un?
til the vc-ry last, and the errors whi b bare
occarred would have been just as possible,
and to a certain extent, as probable then as
in the session past. The trouble was not
in the length of the session, but in the
mistake of the Enrolling Committee of
the Senate. It is a mistake, however,
that is cheaper to put up with than to
correct, and our esteemed contemporary
is allowing its prejudice against short
sessions to prevent its comprehending the
practical points at issue. The constitu?
tional question raised by the Register
does not apply to this Bill, for it was cer?
tainly read three times in each House.
By this we do not mean that all of its
provisions were read three times, for
some of them were not read but once in
the House of Representatives, being
adopted as amendments to the Bill on its
third reading. It cannot be contended
that on these grounds any bill would be
invalidated. The Biil to raise supplies
was read three times in each House, and
has become a law. There can be no
doubt that so much of it as is genuine is
a valid enactment, and then the question
would occur as to what is genuine and
what spurious. The whole has all of the
evidences of genuineness, and having
been ratified in the presence of both
Houses in its present shape, as a matter
of law it may be held that their action is
concluded by this act, and that all of
the provisions now in the Bill which were
put into it as amendments by either House
and enrolled, were, in the ratification by
both Houses, concurred in, and by the
Governor's approval became law. At
least where an Act bears all of tho evi?
dences of validity, nothing short of the
Courts can declare it invalid ; and under
the present circumstances we cannot im?
agine that any citizen will invoke
the construction of the Courts in this
case, for such litigation would only be ex?
pensive, factious and burdensome to the
State. The best thing that can be done
is to go on and carry out the Supply Bill
without any more grumbling.

the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad

INSOLENT AND TJXTOITNDED.
The following article from the New
York Sun deserves unqualified comdem
nation, for it is both insolent to the South
and without justification in the facts. If
the Sun is only as true to Democracy as
the South is there will be no complaint
as to its course. This paper, however,
seems to take pleasure in abusing the
South and our people whenever opportu?
nity affords, and has done the Democrat?
ic party and the country as much harm
as any paper in the country by its per?
sistent abuse and misrepresentation. The
article given below is a fair sample of
the fabrications which emanate from its
columns:
Mr. Don Cameron was made Chairman
of the Republican National Committee,
not only because he is bold, rich and
powerful, but because he is personally on
the best of terms with many of the South?
ern leaders. This is remarkable, but it
is also true. He wines and dines them,
and transports them free to horse races
and other entertainments.
Besides, Mr. Cameron is always ready,
as his father was before him, to grind a
little axe for any of them in a strait; to
get an appointment made, a contract pro?
tected, or a railroad pass provided.
Those who think these relations of no
importance may remember how he
shouldered into the Republican Senate
Gen. Butler, of South Carolina, when all
the organs were denouncing him as the
author of the Hamburg massacre.
The conspirators of the third term look
forward to a period in their game when
they may need Southern support, and in
case it should be necessary to count
Grant in, and seat him by force, they
want the Confederate long-swords on
their side. This is the meaning of the
Grant demonstration among the worst of
the late rebels.
With the existing Administration, with
the regular army under Sherman and
Sheridan, and the flower of the Confed?
erate brigadiers, the conspirators think
they would be strong enough to defy the
people, North as well as South. The
Confederates traded with Hayes, and
why should they not trade with Grant?
THE SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY.

Special Dispatch to tiic News and Courier.
Augusta, Ga., January 1.
Gen. Grant and party left here this
morning for Beaufort and Savannah.
The day was beautiful and the visitors
were waited upon by the mayor and
councilmen, after which they were es?
corted to the Union Depot in carriages
by a band of music and the colored mili?
tary procession which was celebrating
the anniversary of the Emancipation
proclamation.
the reception in beaufort.
Beaufort, S. C, Jan. 1.
Preparations were made this morning
hurriedly, when it was heard by a tele?
gram to ex-Congressman Robert Smalls
from Col. Fred. Grant, that Gen.
Grant and party would visit Beau?
fort. A committee of citizens was
appointed to receive him, as follows:
Col. Elliott, Col. Verdier, Senator Col?
lins, Postmaster P. E. Ezekiel, Collector
of the Port Geo. Holmes, G. Waterhouse,
M. Pollitzer and G. Gage. An immense
concourse of citizens of all classes, re?
gardless of race, color or previous con?
dition, proceeded to the depot, with bands
of music and a copious display of bunt?
ing and the wildest enthusiasm.
Two colored military companies?the
Beaufort Light Infantry, Capt. Robert
Smalls, and the Sumner Guards, Captain
Robinson?were out in full force. The
Beaufort Volunteer Artillery, Capt.
Stuart, the crack white company, was on
the road leading to town with one field
piece firing a salute of thirteen guns.
Every available vehicle was in requisi?
tion for men, women and children to add
to the demonstrations of welcome.
Promptly at half-past 3 the special
train arrived with the party, consisting of
Gen. Grant and wife, Gen. Phil. Sheri?
dan and wife, Col. Fred. Grant and wife,

Arriving at the hotel, Intendant Wil?
liams extended the hospitalities of the
town,jon the part of the committee, in a
short speech. Gen. Grant responded as
follows:
"It affords me great pleasure to be al?
lowed the opportunity to visit Beaufort,
though only for an hour. This locality
occupies a conspicuous place in history.
For the last twenty years it certainly has.
The best qualities of the newly emanci?
pated race developed here. I thank you
for your hospitable and warm welcome."
This is said to be the longest speech
that Gen. Grant has made since he left
Richmond.
Commodore Patterson and the officers of
the fleet stationed here paid their respects
in full uniform.
The ladies of the party were called upon
by the ladies of the community. Gen.
Grant, Fred Grant and Sheridan were
introduced to the gentlemen.
Returning to the depot, Col. Elliott
and Commodore Patterson rode in the
carriage with Gen. and Mrs. Grant, Col.
Verdier rode with Gen. and Mrs. Phil.
Sheridan, Col. Wilson and Lieut. Hey
erman rode in the carriage with Col.
Fred. Grant and lady. The rest of the
committee disposed of themselves with
the rest of the party.
Gen. Grant had expressed a desire for
some of the far-famed fossils, and
a number of citizens contributed
specimens. One gentleman gave him a
huge backbone and lower jaw of a mega
long, adding that it was a fair specimen
of Carolina cheek and backbone.
Muckey Interviews the Sphynx.
Columbia, January 1.?Judge Mack?
ey, who has come here to open court,
travelled from Chester to this city yester?
day in company with Gen. Grant, and
gives some interesting details of his con?
versation with him, and of incidents on
the road. He states that there were
crowds at all the depots along the route,
composed of both whites and blacks,
seeming chiefly to be attracted by cu?
riosity. Some little enthusiasm was
shown, and occasionally there was slight
cheering. Grant said that he discovered
no difference in his reception in the
South from what it wa3 at the North,
and expressed gratification at the wel?
come he had received, and the general
spirit manifested. He said, however,
that he attached no political significance
to the demonstrations of this section, but
attributed them to the kindly hospitality
of the people. He asked as to the condi?
tion of the negroes, and expressed his
conviction that they did not seem op?
pressed, estimating the degree of their
prosperity, at the suggestion "of the Judge,
in proportion to the broadness of the grins
as the train passed. He also remarked
on the evident amiable relations between
the races and the mutual good will and
confidence evidenced in the general inter
mingling and good-natured rough and
tumble jostling in the crowds about the
railroad stations in pushing, towards the
train. He expressed considerable sur?
prise at seeing so much equality in ex?
istence. He said that all the indications
he had seen pointed to a reunited coun?
try and the fading away of sectional feel?
ings. He seemed to be convinced that
the Southern people are principally de?
voting themselves to the development of
their own internal resources. At Colum?
bia he remarked that he was the only
living ex-president, and the Judge re?
marked that he might not bear that title
a year from now. Gen. Grant said that
a year from now 3Ir. Hayes would be
still President, and Judge Mackey said:
"Well, a year and a few months, may
be." Justice Willard remarked that
Judge Mackey was playing on the words
"ex" and "next" President, and Grant
said he understood, and seems to have
shut up immediately and permanently.
Grant pointed to a blackened chimney as
he entered the city and said. "There's
one of Sherman's monuments." He
seems to have talked at some length re?
garding the incidents of the war, speak?
ing particularly of his interposition to
prevent the threatened arrest and prosecu?
tion of all Confederate Generals, of the
humane treatment of Lee's army at Ap
pomattox, and in preventiug the des?
truction of private property by his army
in Virginia.
Gen. Grant asked if the Democratic
party was not divided in this State, and
the Judge says that he gave him very
emphatic assurances to the contrary.
He also developed an interest on the
subject of tissue ballots and said that
Hampton's denunciation of them was a
bold step and gratified him, and was a
virtual admission of their use. It being
stated that the necessity for them existed
occasionally for the preservation of civil?
ization he remarked, rather jocularly,
that he hoped that the necessity wouldn't
arise too frequently.
Fatal Affray at Newberry.?In?
formation has just been received of a
fight at Newberry yesterday, which result?
ed in the shooting of two men by the name
of Chappell by a man named Harp.
The dispnte arose about a cock fight.
One account says that both of the Chap
pells were killed. Another that one was
killed and one fatally wounded.
Since writing the above we have re?
ceived the following particulars.
Bill Harp and Press and Jim Chappell
had a cock fight in Newberry Christmas
morning. After the fight was over the
Chappells wanted the money which, it
seems, Harp had won, and had abused
him all day. Finally, at night, Press
Chappell called him into a saloon, saying
he wanted to see bim on business. When
he entered they closed the door on him,
abused bim by cursing him. When
Harp could stand it no longer, he
asked to be released, and tried to get by,
when Press Chappell fell upon bim and
said he would have the money or kill
him. Harp then drew a derringer and
fired, the snot taking effect in the chin,
just under the lip. He then quitted the
place. Jim Chappell followed him with
a bowie knife. Harp retreated as far as
he could, and asked Chappell to go back,
as he didn't want to hurt him. Chappell
remarked, "I'll take you dead or alive."
Harp still retreated, and finally threw up
both bands and said, "For God's sake,
Jim Chappell, don't crowd me; I don't
want to hurt you." Chappell still fol?
lowed and remarked as before, when
Harp drew his pistol, and saying, "if you
force me, here goes; I do it in self-de?
fense," fired two shots, one taking effect
in the region of the heart and the other
in the shoulder, killing bim instantly.
Press Chappell was not dead late last even?
ing, but the ball had entered his windpipe
and he was unable to swallow anything.
He is just lingering. Harp is in the
jail yard but not confined. We learn
that Jim Chappell is late from the peni?
tentiary. The Chappells are from the
neighborhood of Chappel's Depot and
Harp from Newberry village. All white

? Nothing like a family quarrel to
disclose family secrets! Here are the
Brooklyn Republicans accusing each
other of treachery and bargaining with the
enemy in the late election, and in the
heat of the fight up rises ex-Sheriff

That compelled the Committee to raise

comparatively large diversion of the al?

These accusations were not denied; on
the contrary, they were admitted to be
true. Jt was through such treachery to
the Democratic party the Republican

From our own experience for the last six
years, and from a similar experience on the

kept separate, and with as much propriety
of manners. Therefore, we propose to con?
tinue our School on this plan.
A full and efficient corps of Teachers will
conduct the exercises of this School in all
its departments.
