The Present Session o:!he Lesisia-
1urP.

The General Assembly of this State met
at the capital on tuesday Heretofore, the
sessions have been marked By a system OF
business and legislation which has done great
harm to the industrial interests OF tho state
and taken away all the confidence which the
party not in power were disposed to place IN
the promises of the legislators. 1t has been
admitted by member Of the lower House
from this county, that all manner OF thevlng,
bribery and corruption revcllcd there during,
the last session. to such an extent as to
amaze him, who to his credit. be it said, has
ever borne good character in this comma
nifty.
But there is nothing TO be gained by
illusions to the past in this matter, and We
must look to the future, if perchance that
holds out anything Of promise or hope tor US
Here lately, what must be considered an
attempt to defraud the people, has been dis
covered, and although Parker, the State
Treasurer. has made statement, yet the
people know that his fingers are deep into
the pie. and his statement must be taken
scum grono sa1is." The white-washinS conf
mittee, ofwhich Dennis, the intr"dncer OF
the new tangled spittoons, is chairman, should
be held to the point and a statement Of the
public debt such as will satisfy the people. DC
given. Kimpton. tn talented young banker
until recently unknown to fame, who ha'
lined his pockets with our gold, should bf
made to disgorge some Of those commissions
express charges and stamps" which have
amounted almost to millions i'll the last three
years. All public serva~ts should be helc
to strict accountability and no plunderins
be allowed, by the employment of clerks
and the whole army of understrappers which
have heretofore been fed at the public crib
Ii is manifestly impossible that with sin
gle session of the Legislature costing $500,
OOO the taxes now levied can pay that sum
besides the interest of the public deb
amounting at the least calculation to 500,
OO0, and the salaries Of officers, amounting
to nearly 100000. ..
It has been sufficiently established tha
the utmost the people can pay, without sale
of their property, is s5OO,OoO and such ap
propriations should bo made as shall not ex
ceed this sum.

OUR COLUMBIA LETTER
The Ku Klux COurt--Tle Legislature
-The Finances.-.Tiie EXiics-Thc


COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. %, 1871.
The coming week commences a season of
unusual and absorbing interest at the Cap
ital. On Monday the mighty Ku klux
Court commences, and Tuesday will wit
ness the congregation Of our learned Leg
islators Judge Bond arrived this after
noon, and with him, the Hon. Reverdy
johnson, who has been engaged to defend
the parties under the hu klux Act. Ex-
Attorney Gen'l Stanbcrry will be here on
Monday to assist in the defense. Corbin, it
is said, will be supported in the prosecution
by Chamberlain, and perhaps by Worthlns-
ton. 1t seems to be generally understood
that Mcssrs. johnson and Stanberry will
coahnc their arguments to the constitutions
ality Of the act by authority of which the
prisoners have been arraigned, making one
case test and leaving individual and special
defences to the conduct Of such counsel as
the accused may have scverally employed.
The number of arrests made is stated to be
upwards of five hundred, but how many will
be put upon trial ut this term ofthe Court, 1t
is ;mpossible to con ccturc. As the conStl-
tutional question is to be raised, it may, per-
haps. work postponement OF the things IN
the flcts of the case until the decision OF the
Supreme Court be had, in which event. we
hone. that the unhappy victims Of Martial
law will at lloaSt be released on bail. i. +.
johnson. L. S. shal, is son Of Rever-
DIV and it will tend no little to hcighten the
; interest o. the scene to hear the venerable
Old sire in terms Of scathing ccnsre con-
denim the acts ofoppression and tyranny, III
which his son has been the chief instrument.
TIE FINANCES.
Liyelytimes are expected in the disclos-
ures of the colossal frauds pcrpctratcd III a
financial way, when the Legislature meets.
The thieves are surely at loggcr-heads now,
and through the workings Of their cnvious
snite one towards another, some startling
: facts will probably crop out in further sub
sanitation of the now almost confessed swim
die in the oyer-issue of bonds. klmpton Is
here, prepared he claims, to clear his own
clouded character, and to furnish indisputa-
Bile proof OF the completely of Scott and his
financial Board, together with the House i'll
yestieation Committee. Of which Dennis is
Chairman, in the fraudulent transactions
charged against them. Dennis investiga-
ting committee was appointed last winter
ostensiblv to examine into the books and ac-
counts Of the financial agent, Mr.. Kimpton.

CosTLY WAY OF ECoNoMIZING.-Ih

Costly WAY OF ECoNoMIZING.-Ihe
Louisville Corier-Jomnai relates this:
ssTwo handsome young men, without
money, crawled upon the bumpers between
two cars Of freight train and rode ycster-
dav from Cincinnati to Louisville. This
mode of travel is known as beating the way,
and is frequently productive of serious rail-
road accidents
"The young men reached this city all
right. and left Immediately for Nashville by
the same conveyance. The conductor, OF
curse. knew nothing about their being on
the train, as they would dodge about the
coaches, and keep concealed when the train
hands came near. The jolts, and stops, and
Jerks we're to them exceedingly unpleasant
Hhs little k2slsAasa TAss hsF ssSsS
won would have ssrown Them Under the rolling
wheels and crushed them 70 death. In spite,
however, of all this danger, they pursued
their way, and but for an accident would ere
have reached the city Of rocks
"About two miles from Louisville the
train made a s,-dden halt, which caught their
feet between the bumpers and crushed the
b mes badly aud. fearful ofa worse accident,
they Jumped Of the train. They were badly
wounded and had no means Of getting assist
ance.
"One of them was named Daniel Riley
lie crawlcd on the ground for nearly mile,
and then rode in a wagon the rest of the way
to St. .Joseph's Inirmary. The wound will
dctain him for some timc. The other young
man, when last seen. was near the place OF
the accident. 1t is not known what became
of him. lie was probably the worst hurt of
the two"

A STRANGE ACCIDENTAL strange and
extremely unpleasant mistake occurred in
East Boston recently. "A new domestic had
Just been engaged by a family on London
street. The lady of the house had occasion
to use an application of croton oil, aud had
left bottle of it.in the kitchen. The new
girl supposed it to be hair oil, and thought
an application would benefit her halr. So
she poured on good deal oft, they seldom do
anything of the kind by halves-and went
to bed. The effect of it was not only very
surprising, but very painful. When she
arose in the morning her head was as bald
as the traditional billiard ball, as the oil.

face and seriously endangcring her eyesight
She was removed to the city hospital for

IsItI7

The years have turned over and over
Soft April and dew-dripping May,
Since an where a bank ofred clover,
Half ground and half sky, stretched away,
A little maid sat at her milking,
And singing a Iove-lilting lay.
Upout of the daisy-draped edges
That bordered the green milking lane,
Up out Of 1.-THE tops ofthe hedges,
ToIist TO the Tilt other strain,
The brown little heads Of the wild birds
We're lifted again and again.
4 fair sight il was % behold her,
No shadow Of care on her brow,
The girlish arm bare to the shoulder,
That leaned ON the flank other CIV.
Oh, May-time, my beautiful May-time!
say. how hast thou come TO her now?
Draw back from the window the curtain,
Look in on the bed where size Iies.
The shadows are cold and unccIain,
The sun going out Of her skies.
The sick soul aweary with waiting
Comes up % Look out Of her eyes.
She turns the years over and over.
Clear back to the May time gone Jy,
Clear back TO that cloud Of Ted clover
That shimIners half ground and half sky.
And she cries from the depths Of her anguish
MY Lord and my God. is &c r.

At five o'clock this morning the early
prayer-meeting took place in the Ta6er-
nacle. Despite the torrents of rain that
were falling at the time, am told that
it was we'll attended, and by no means
lacking in interest-an assertion which

cept, rather than go to the inconven-
ience of a personal investigation.

Among the many curious characters
in attendance here there is none perhaps,
who attracts more attention than su-
perannuated clergyman from Maine,
who is named John Allen. He has a
special mania for attending camp-meet-
ings, and this lie assured us this morn
ing was the two hundred and eighteenth
meeting of the kind he had attended
within the last fifteen or twenty.
He is provided with a pretty little
Sibley tent, the gift of some admiring
friends in the East, In which he cooks
and sleeps. He spends the whole Of
each summer in traversing the country
