COLUMBIA, November IL.
One very important and significant event OF
the past week remains to be chronicled, how
ever the local press having entirely ignored
1t, which event Is no less than the pledging OF
the colored majority of the Legislature to the
reputation of the State debt, old and new.
The caucus was held few days ago IN
committee room OF the Statehouse. 1t was
kengineered by Beverly Nash, and attended by a
majority of the 1usky solons Of both houses.
A resolution, introduced by Nash, pledged the
members to vote against any appropriation OF
money at this winters session for the pay
ment of interest on the State debt, and was
debated with great and peculiar eloquence.
Comptroller. General Neagle heard what was
going forward, and rushed into the room to
defeat the scheme. He begged them not to
pass the resolution; told them that 1t was In
effect reputation of the obligations of the
State, and that the credit of the State would
be ruined by the proposed action. He was
answered by the senator from Richland, with
the statement that they knew nothing about
bonds, and did not want to; that they knew 1t
was reputation, and meant to repudiate, and
that the State would be better of without any
credit. These views were sustained with ar
guments that appealed with great force to the
passions and prejudlces OF the majority OF
those present, the resolution was carried trt-
umpaantly, and Mr.. Neagle retired with a
pale face and compressed lips. 1t remaias, OF
course, to be seen whether the determination
Of these Intelligent legislators will hold out
against the pecuniary arguments that will
doubtless be brought to bear upon them; and
indeed 1t is by no means impossible that the
whole caucus and resolution is simply a trick
in the nature of bid for more Of the public
plunder. But the resolution has been passed,
and, as the case now stands, the dominant
party of the next Legislature Ia pledged to the
dangerous device Of total reputation.

We have argued the question on abstract
grounds. But there exists present neces-
sity
The first step on the part of the Legislature
Ia to ascertain the extent of these frauds, by
the organization of q committee of investiga-
ton. Let the evil be proved by competent IN
quirers, and their reports be accompanied by
recommendations, which, appealing to sound
principles of finance and the dictates of Justice,
explore the grounds of legislative action in 80
unusual crisis in public affairs.
But how is 1t with the great bulk Of the en-
gagements created by those who have assum-
ed civil authority In the Southern States since
the war? Fraud has marked their charac-
ter. collusion has leftno alternative to the great
body Of the taxpayers. USurped authority calls
for exposure. Not only the money but the
credit of the State Is involved.
The first step, 1t appears to us, to be taken
by the Legislature is to appoint committee
OF investigation to ascertain the extent and
character of the loss, the parties inculpated,
accompanied by report In which the grounds
and limits OF reputation are presented on
clear and indlsputable principles.
Whether the course marked out In South
Carolina for adoption, to wit: That all the
bonds and stocks created under the present
administration of State affairs should be de-
clared invalid, would be matter Of grave de-
liberation. and Uould be dependent on the re-
suits reached By the committee. But no time
should be lost in the organization OF compe-
tent committee, not only In justice to the
bondholders. but to the taxpayers OF the state.

How to Distinguish Poisonous Ser.

&&S" ~ ~~S~@~~D ~oSA& = S~sS~~S~S SSA
.r.. =.. . pents. ..--.a
In this connection, it may no, be un
interesting TO mention some character.
istics by which poisinous serpents in
the United State can always be distin,
gu!shed. In the first place, we have
no venomous species with longitudinal
stripes, nor any of which the color is
entirely green, black or Blown. We
may, therefore, eliminate all striped and
all uniformly colored snakes, garter
snakes" "black snakes" "green
snakes" ETC., from the series of the
kinds that ara to be dreaded. Our
poisonous serpen's are all marked with
transverse blotches, which are also
characterized by having broad, trian.
gular head, considerably and apprecia-
bly, wider than the narrow neck, this
expansion Of the head being required
to accommodate the poison glands.
Again, the poisonous species possess a
deep pit or cavity on each side Of the
face, between the eye and nos,ril, al.
ways very definitely marked, the nostril
being at the snout. The stories, there
fore, Of the venomous character Of the
"black snakes" and garter snakes"
are fabulous. .s.'s% .."aa'.
1t may be we'll enough to mention,
while on the subject Of poisonous rep
tiles, that no lizards Of any kind are
known 10 produce poisonous wounds.
Some, like the alligator, produce Sc
rious wounc by bite; but there is
nothing whatever analogous to the ven
om of the serpent to be found in this
order. Nor is there any credence TO
be placed in the stories Of snakes with
a poison apparatus in the tail. Every
neighborhood in the United States has
q legend Of a SO called hoop snake, -
which takes it tail in its mouth and
runs rapidly down bin after some terri.
fed individual, and on reaching him
uncoils and lashes out the sting Of its
tail, which fortunately strikes into q
tree near by, to the great relief Of the
expected victim. The tree then has to
bear the bsunt Of the charge, and in
"a hours II is found to have boen com.
pleteiy killed, and all the leaves on the
branches having wilhered.
II is not uncommon for certain sbe.
cies of snakes 10 have the terminal
plates Of the tail coalesced into a kind
Of hard, conical point ) but this has no
penetrative power, and contains no con
cealed sting. like that Of the bee or

A MODERN WILLIAM TELL.-It
is very we'll known that Recorder
Hackett, of New York, is first
class intuitive sportsman, but it is
not generally known that lie is the
monumental expert of the age. A
few days since he was off with
young Jim Bennett OH his yacht.
Standing at a distance of twenty.
two yards Mr.. Bennett held be.
tween his thumb and finger q small
clam shell, which a ball from
Hackett's pistol broke to pieces
Another friend held at the same
distance a small bit Of the neck of
bottle, which was shivered in
the same way. The yacht mean
while was rolling like a cradle
A bird was let loose, and, flying
with the wind, met its qnietus at
the word, and it's feathers paid
tribnte ON the crest Of the wave
When Bennett was little chap he
had the pluck to hold an apple on
his head, and Hackctt, in the pres.
ence Of Mrs. Bennett, shot it off,
time and again. Numerous friends
have held coins in their fingers as
invitations for the certain ball. 1t
is related that at Saratoga the Re.
corder, having knocked q coin
from tho hand of Mr., Jennings,
present editor of the Times, was
about to 60 for an apple on his
head, but Mr.. Raymond was so af.
fected by the possible killing OF
his friend that he begged him to
desist. Won't somebody challenge
