LEGISLATIVE MATTERS. s.-The proceed
ings in the Legislature yesterday were
Of particularly dull end unimportant
character. There seemed to be reac-
tion after the excitement of the election
for Judges the day before, and the pub.
lie servants were evidently disinclined
to work.
Byas, in tho House, agreeably to no.
tice, introduced q bill to repeal all of
the Acts and resolutions authorizing the
issue or hypothecation of State securi-
ties. Such q step is hardly consistent
with that worthy melnber's course in re-
lation to the report of the Joint Inves-
tigating Committee. Then, as the hired
mouth-piece of the ring, he was loud in
his praise of Scott and his Financial
Board, and in his blatant way, strenu-
ously opposed the efforts made to call
them to account for their acknowledged
frauds. Now, after the mischief is done.
and be has assisted the thieves in escap.
ing, he would make credit for himself
by pretended effort to stop the door to
further frauds.
The bulk of the time of the House
was passed in fillibustering by Mobley.
Byas and others. over bill to incorpo-

in staving off till 2 O'Clock. when the
House adjourned till Monday.
In the Senate, the proceedings wore
equally unin nteresting. Corbin and Les
lie occupied the chief portion of the
time. sparring over bill of Leslie's,
which was finally passed to third read
ing, providing for the construction of a
road in Barnwell. Ai
Mr.. .Arnim introduced the following
which was adopted:
Whereas it is reported that the entire
debt of the State Of South Carolina is to
be funded by the issue Of new bonds;
and whereas it is inexredient that any
new bonds should be issued until the
total amount of the State Indebtedness
is ascertained; therefore,
Resoiced, That the Committee on
Finance be instructed to report forth

tions in their possession relating to the
registration of all the bonds and stocks
OF this State. or in any way connected

DR.. r. V. Pierce, Of Buffalo, N. z, sole pro-

for over three years offered, through nearly
every newspaper in the United statea. a atand-

DECLINE IN THE AMERICAN BIRTH RATE
A remarkable diagram has been pre-
pared by DR.. Toner, the statistician,
which gives at o glance the facts of each
census in regard to the relstive longevity
of the two sexes: also, another curious
table, showing the number of children
born to each thousand women between
the ages OF fifteen and fifty at each CEN
sus. This table reveals the startling fact
that what is held up as the peculiar
shame OF Massachusetts is equally true
OF all her sister States. It is shown that
only one-half as many children are now
born to each Thousand women es in 1900,
and that there has been regular de-
crease from one decade OF years to an
other.

The remarks made by us, on yester-
day, in reference to certain tons Of conl
having been hauled away from the depot
by the United States Government teams,
may be regarded as involving the United
States authorities at this post. We take
pleasure in saying that the assurances We
have received on this subject do but
confirm our own previous impression,
that neither the Government nor any OF
it's military representatives were even re-
motely connected with Mr.. Crews trans-
actions. We learn that Mr.. Joseph
Crews is the wood and coal contractor OF
the post here. and that the coal that the
Government hauled away was purchased
and paid for by the Government in the
usual way. We have reason to conclude
that the United States Quartermaster
here and the United States military off,
oials at this post are honorable soldiers,
and hold thieving in the same scorn that
we do.

cit has transpired, within the past two
