The Biggest Job Yet.

We have already noticed the introduction,
in the State House OF Representatives, OF a
bill to redeem certain obligations of the
State 1t authorizes the issue OF 1924 OOO,
in bonds Of the State, to pay the principal
and interest of loan made in July, 1864,
and February 1865, by the Charleston Saw
ngs Institution to the Bank of the State.
This monstrous job will, we believe, stick i'll
the throats of all the Radical legislators who
have not been made to 'see light" by in
convertible currency.
The loan was made in Confederate cur
rency, which in july 1864, was worth about
.fre cents on the dollar in gold, and in Feb
ruary 1865, was worth t,co cents on the dol
lar in gold. Now, it is proposed to give
State bonds at par, worth eighty cents on
the dollar, for the full amount of the princi-
pal and interest.
Had the claim remained in the hands of
the Charleston Savings Institution, a feeling
of enlarged liberality toward the unfortu-
tunate depositors might have induced the
Legislature to do more for them than wss
strictly equitable and just. But even this
excuse is wanting. Atthe sale OF the assets
of the Charleston Savings Institution the
claim was sold for song
100000 bEsayht $40 $40
Sl50,OO0 NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. l6oO
Total.. $224O
The bill before the Legislature proposes
to cancel the claim, with interest, by giving Z:
1924 900 State bonds, worth at s0.... ,s25s, 200
Cost of the claim. m..................... 2,?in
Profit on the lob ................... $3.50, ,aGO
These few figures ought to swamp the
whole Scandalous affair.

from the attack of worms; It's carly maturing,
and the fact that The Seed and every part of the

In consequence OF the imperfect method
hitherto adopted in preparing The Juice of this
Cane, there has arisen Il prejudice, and the belief
that Sugar could not I've produced hut only very
Inferior syrup. But, by the discovery OF the

The PfeasantOn Puzzle Explained
-PennsyIvanIa 10 be APPeased
with a Cabinet office.
WAsHNeroN, Dec. 13.-The nomina-
ton of Gen. Pleasanton as Commissioner
of Internal Revenue caused considerable
surprise in most circles, as until within a
day or so the appointment of Douglass
was considered certain.
1t was rumored last night that another
change in the Cabinet was contemplated
soon; that the coming man viii be o
Pennsylvania, and that it was not con-
sidered expedient 10 appoint the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue and the
new Cabinet Minister from the same
State.
II is asserted that the President before
sending in Pleasanton's name, consulted
with some of the prominent members of
the Grand Army of the Republic, and
that Gen. Logan expressed himself salts
fed with the appointment, if it was to be
given TO military, but said he should OPP
pose the nomination of any Eastern man
not q soldier. ese
Radical Caucus-The Amnesty
Question.
A caucus of the Republican members
of the House was held this evening TO
stake action in regard TO the Amnesty
Bill, which is to come up for action in q
day or two. Banks presided, and De-
gener, of Texas, made speech in favor
of universal amnesty. He was supported
by Tillman, of Tenn, and by Bingham,
who, however wished to make some eS-
captions. Maynard opposed the PROPOSE
ton, Most members from the Gulf
States are in favor of universal amnesty,
and they say that this is the only ground
on which the Republican party can ex-
pect to be successful in the future. No
vote swss taken, and the caucus ad-
journed to meet again "Wednesday night.
1t is hardly expected that any concerted
action will be agreed upon.
Ben Buffers BootIess Bray-POrter
Ahead.
NKw YORK, Dec. 1.-THE Herald's
Washington correspondent telegrsphed last
night: The violent assault of Ben Butler,
instead of injuring Porter in the Senate,
served to make friends for him. Sena-
tors who were rather Indifferent towards
him yesterday, said to-day after reading
the House proceedings in the Globe, that
they thought Porter was more sinned
against than SHINING. When the House
bill came over to the Senate to day it was
quietly referred to the Committee on Ma
val Affairs, where it is likely to remain
for some time, as the majority of that
committee are said TO be favorable to
Porter. In addition to this the President
has sigpified to his friends in the Senate,
that il is his desire that Porter shall be
confirmed. Altogether, Porter's chances
of getting through the Senate and coming
out of the fight full Admiral are i'm
proving. his friends are now very san
guine of his confirmation.

Afternoon Session


The Association was called to order the
President, who announced that the sub
iect for discussion, was 'fDJes the pre-
sent county system meet the wants of the
State" The discussion was opened by
E. 0. Tade, of Chattanooga, who stated
that he saw no chance to make the pre-
sent system a success. Every thing
tended to throw all back to the townships
or districts to act. The system had had
a resting spell, and now some three coun-
ties had acted.
Nine counties out of ten could not be
induced to act, except by efforts like that
carrying forward great temperance re-
form. Regretted that no provision was
made for publishing reports. There is a
powerful moral force in reports pub
kshed. The great difficulty is we are
hemmed in by a niggardly stinginess. Give
us only q good theoretical system, and it
will bring into the State ten millions of
capital. l am for doing theebest we can,
getting good teachers and houses and
going to work. One district in Hamilton
county has done what the people feel
proud of and they are doing well He
repelled the insinua,iOn of State officials
not accounting fairly for the money. Fall
back upon the old Roman doctrine that
the property of the State is bound for the
education and protection of its citizens,
and urged the State system, with the
county system, asking the Legislation to
grant the privilege of taxing townships or
districts.
]. B. Killebrew, one of the Executive
Board of Education in Montgomery
county, thought that there was one thing
that told powerfully in favor of the
county system, thst in those counties
where it had gone into operation it was
giving satisfaction. He was opposed to
the substitution of any other law until
the present one had been thoroughly
tested. We never had in Montgomery
county q public school that was worth a
cent until the present system was adopted.
Let the opponents of the present law go
to work and get an appropriation from
their county courts. Il was quite as easy
to get an appropriation from the county
courts as from the Legislature, with this
advantage, that the money so appropri-
ated is expended among those appropri-
atipg. Don't abandon the system until
it has been tried-don't strange the babe
before it has DOTTED its swsddling clothes.
Time and money have been expended by
some of the counties in getting this sys-
tenn into operation, and it would be doing
! injustice to them to repeal it. He did
not think that we should give up the
management of the schools to Statt
Superintendent if the State can cOntribut,
no more than sufficient to buy ''sill
