It can &C truly said OF the senators to-day
that they earned their per diem. considerable
amount OF business was ira sacted and 'vexed
question" postponed.
rnB LAZY CENSUS TAKERS.
The House bill to amend an act entitled "An
act 10 provide for the enumeration OF the inhabl-
tants Of this State" providing that the time for
the completion Of the census be extended to tile
thirty.first OF this month, was taken up, after
some discussion, during which it was frequently
asserted that those census takers who had had the
least work to do had accomplished the least, and
the bill was referred to the Finance Committee.
This bill viii pass. The s30,375 saved by the
delay, in not furnishing the census books at the
time designated, yet giving the census takers ample
time TO finish their work, as number did, before
the first OF November, has amounted to nothing,
but will be swallowed up with about $40, 400 more.
The Radical policy for spcndns other peoples
money Is carried 30 far that when S30,375 is &c
cidentally saved to the State. measure IL put on
foot to spend that and third more.
TiIE JAILs.

some little to say in regard TO the jails and the
irregularities of the officers in charge. To-day,

THE NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE

RICHMOND, December s.
The memorial to Congress in favor Of ship
canal around Niagara Falls was adopted.
A resolution for establishing system Of mete-
geological observations, to give warning OF COM
ing storms on the lakes and ocean, for benent Of
commerce, was referred to Executive Council.
y A resolution of confidence In the general prin-
eiples OF the national banking law but asking the
repeal Of the section limiting the circulation was
taken up, together with-a resolution in favor Of
fastening the resumption Of specie payments.
Mr.. J. Ackland, Of Baltimore, urged the re-
sumption Of specie payments. An incidental de-
nunciation Of RadIcallsm was loudly applauded.
Mr.. Dove, OF Chicago, urged that Congress
authorize one-third or one-half Of the import
duties to be paid in greenbacks, and that If
gold to-day is 122, the Secretary Of the Treasury
advertise that he will sell gold on the first OF
next month at one or two cents less, and the first
Of each succeeding month ct one or two cents
less than the month previous. This, he thought
would do away with the difference Of gold and
currency.
Mr.. Opdyke, Of New York, thought the safest
way was to carefully maintain the value OF the
currency until the increase OF industry and COM
merce should bring us to specie payments. II we
doubled our currency to-day money would be, in
0 year from this, quite as scarce and prices as
high as now. He thought the currency ought to
be good enc, but 1t should be equally distribu-
ted. II the Supreme Court declared the Legal
tender act unconstitutional, the confidence Of the
people In greenbacks would, in q month, be as
great as ever.
{ Mr. Chittenden, Of New York. said that Mr..
McCulloch's plan, now abandoned, was the only
safe one Speculation in gold should be stopped
by act of Congress. There had not been time
in twenty-five years in business in New York
when there was 80 little feeling Of prosperity, and
Notwithstanding the show Of legal reserve In the
banks there, he believed q sudden demand for ten
million greenbacks would smash them. He be-
Heved the government ought to march straight
forward to the establishment OF an honest cur
rency and every careful man should be getting
ready to meet this action, by curtailing his in
deotedness. he believed that from Washington
next Monday words would be heard indicating
this purpose on the part Of the government.
Mr. Taylor, Of st. Paul, advocated special fifty
years. gold loan by the government-the first part
Of the proceeds Of which should be the redemp-
ZION Of its notes. He did not think fifty millions
or this loan would be used before the government
promises to-pay would be as good as gold. The
banks should then be required to redeem their
notes In specie or United States notes.
Mr.. Thomas, OF Philadelphia, did not think spe-
Gle payment could be resumed until the govern
ment had two thousand millions specie to redeem
its debt.
The board then adjourned until tomorrow.

General Johnson Hdgood, President OF the
South Carolina State Agricultural and Me-
chanical Association, Bar1,cel, S. c.:
MY DEAR SIR-As the steamships plying
across the Atlantic have commenced to bring
emigrating British subjects to this port, find
myself applied to by them for direction as to tile
portions OF the country to which they should re-
SORT Some bring their friends, and are desirous
Of purchasing lands regarded as healthy and pro-
ductve. Others desire engagements for service.
And each class considers that should be able TO
give proper directions as to the part Of the STA e
to which these visitors should In the first instar,e
carry themselves and their families.
1t seems to me that you, as president OF the
South Carolina State Agricultural and Mechani
cal Association, may be able, through your vari-
GUS county organizations, to place in my hands
such recommendations OF our lands In every
county as the proprietors may desire to lay before
the parties referred 20, and also undertakings to
give employment to those now waiting for en-
gagements and hereafter to arrive.
hear on all sides that these immigrants are
desired. A number have arrived by the British
steamer Marmora, and am unable to name any
definite point in the State to which 1 may direct
them to proceed and, therefore, in the hope OF
avoiding this difficulty in the future address my
self to you.
shall be happy, If the plan meets your approba-
tion, to receive from every county auxiliary agri-
cultural association throughout the State such
information as the officers thereof may be pleased
to furnish me with, in order that may lay the
same before present and future immigrants,
trusting that they may thereby be enabled to
make selection which will be alike advantageous
to themselves and to the section Of country to
which they may resort.
am, my dear sir, your very obedlent servant,

Cold has come upon US suddenly, sealing up the
open pores, and sealing in, as 1t were, any seeds

the waste matter OF the body and all acid and

evaporation from the surface and through the

needed to invigorate the vital powers depressed
by low temperature; to stimulate and purify the
secretlons, and to fit the body to endure, without
inconvenience pain or danger, the sudden Gil
matte change which ushers in the winter.
The only preparation which will fully meet this
almost universal need, and will thoroughly and
safely perform the important work, Is the leading
tonic and Alternative OF the age, HOSTETTER'S
