they may, after all, prevail.
The bill to compel representatives to reside
in the counties from which they are elected
was taken up, and provoked a spirited debate
as, in such Legislature, might naturally be
expected, June Mobley appeared to be espe-
cially violent in his opposition to the bill, and
it was no sooner taken up than he moved to
indefinitely postpone the whole matter. This
was lost by a vote of ten to sixty-seven. On
the question of passing the bill to third read
ing Mobley called for the yeas and nays, and
the bill was passed by sixty-two to six. Then
Mobley moved to reconsider the vote just ia
ken,. which was agreed to, and then the bill
was laid upon the table, which at this late day
in the session, is equivalent to its final defeat.

- An attempt was made to assassinate
Queen Victoria last Thursday evening, which
has caused intense excitement in England
The Queen was returning from drive in Hyde
Park, and when the carriage reached the gates
of Buckingham Palace, young man ran up
and presented pistol at the Queens head.
the pistol did not explode. The man was at
once seized, when it was ascertained that his
probably crazy This is the third attempt up
on Victoria's life, and it is said that she was
perfectly calm under the exciting circumstan-
Ces of this last effort.

The General Assembly.

This body has adopted concurrent resolu-
tion to adjourn sine die this day, and unless the
Treasurer fails to cash their pay certificates,
the members will return to the bosom of their
beloved constituents without delay.
On Saturday, the Governor sent in veto Of
the Blue Ridge swindle, but the bill of abomi-
nations was promptly passed over this veto by
the requisite vote in both Houses. The Gov
ernor has attempted to make little political
capital for his waning political fortunes by
vetoing this infamous measure, when it was
well understood that the necessary number of
votes were in hand to override his veto. His
message on the subject is too transparent to
deceive any one, and as usual the Governor re-
sorts to faslehood when he declares that "the
entire press Of the State has been silent on its
merits" leading him "to infer that it meets
the approval of all parties interested in the
financial welfare of: the State"
We note with regret that the bill to appor-
tione the members of the House of Represen-
tatives among the various counties, according
to population, has been defeated. In the
House, on Monday last, the enacting clause
was stricken out, and thus has justice and fair
dealing again been made subservient to party
ends. The bill providing for the election Of
Justices of the Peace, in accordance with the
requirements Of the Constitution, shared q
similar fate.
The tax question remains unsettled, accord
ing to our latest advices from Columbia, but
it is most probable that the State levy-inclu'
ding three mills to extinguish Indebtedness Of
the Blue Ridge Railroad-will be fifteen mills
on the dollar, which is some improvement up
on the prospect commented upon last week
In addition, the County Commissioners will bf
authorized to levy tax not exceeding three
mills, which will make the aggregate sun
eighteen mills on the dollar, or S1.SO on every
hundred dollars worth of property. In ma
king this calculation, we are assuming that thu
Legislature illfually agree to provide for tn
interest ON the public debt. '.s#

Evidently a Mistake.

Tie AbbeyiIIe Meliuna, of the 21st of Feb
ruary, in reporting the substance of Judge
Osr's charge to the grand jury, has uninten-
tionally done an Injustice to his Honor and to
the authorities of Anderson County, which we
beg leave to correct. In reporting the remarks
Of. his Honor upon the management of Poor
Farms, and the results in adjacent counties, the
Nsa;sm attributes the following declaration to
Judge Orr, to which we take exception In
Anderson County, the poor had lived sumptu-
ensly at $500 per day, which was enough to
have bearded them ut the best hotel in the
county.r We were so confident that this erro-
neous statement would be promptly corrected
by our cotemporary, that we purposely avoided
any references to the subject last week, but it
appears that the Medium has not been better
informed up to this time, and it becomes our
duty to direct attention to the glaring misstate-
nuent. The truth is, as has been often attested
By Judge Or in this and other places, that the
management of the Poor Farm has been con-
s;ssred model for economy to the County and
comfort to the inmates Of the Poor House, and
that for o number of years the expenditures
have been so small rs to excite the highest ad-
miration for the systematic management of the
snshorities. Instead of the poor faring sump-
tueusly at $500 per day, the report of the
County Commissioners for 1859 demonstrated
that the actual expenses of the paupers to the
County was less than three dollars per month,
IL - roret bova boon RI tbis fact that tho
Judge was directing attention, and which OFF
contemporary misconceived. We know that #
is only necessary to point out this evident mis-
take for the Medium to promptly rectify the
error and place our authorities in aproper light
before its readers.

cotton, where applied the Etiwan, grew of
more rapidly, but where 1 applied Mapes'
Phosphate, fruitcd heavier, and did not drop
the young bolls as much as the Etiwan, during
the drought.
think Mapes' Phosphate preferable to any
that have ever used, for dry seasons.
Where I used the stable manure, the weed Of
the cotton was larger than where used the

sequence of tho dry season, dropped more
young holls, and consequently did not yield

NOfla DoSJOn Letter.J
Into the presence of this great audi
ence, up the center aisle. marched Gen.
Grant and his crowd. People stood up
to see him, climbed upon the seats,
craned their necks, and stared. That
was all. A violent effort to get up an
enthusiastic scene was made by some
sleek gentlemen in tall black hats, who
were posted near the center door at
which he entered They swung their
hats, jumped and yelled to start thun.
der OF applause, but the thunder didn't
come. The effort died out within forty
feet Of the door, without awakening the
faintest response from the multitude,
and in a. thorough silence as it is pos
sible for so enormous and uncomfortable
multitude to maintain, Grant and his
crowd marched forward to their seats.
The number present is variously esti-
mated from sixty TO eighty thousand,
including chorus. Yet all his applause
came from the parties mentioned. He
should be thankful that he got so much
without having the postotfice and GUS
tom-house closed for the occasion.
" Your people seem rather cold here"
remarked, doubttully, one of the Presi- |
dental party to a Bostonian. "0h, do
they2 was the response. Well, you |
come back here the day Horace Greeley |
comes to the jubilee, and see if they |
are" 1t is simple truth to state that
such was the sentiment echoed in all |
pats of the building.

something about women.

The Parson says that woman is al
ways most restless under the most fa-
vorable conditions, and that there is no
state in which she is really happy except
that of change. / suppose this is the
truth taught in what has been called the
Myth of the Garden" Woman is per-
petual revolution, and is that element in
the world which continually destroys
and recreates. She is the experimenter
and the suggester OF new combinations.
She has no belief in any law of eternal
fitness of things She is never even
content with any arrangement of her
own house. The only reason the mis-
tress could give when she rearranged
her apartment, for hanging picture in
what seemed the most inappropriate
place, was that it had never been there
before. Woman has, no respect for ira
dition, and because q thing is as it is, is
sufficient reason for changing it. When
she gets into law, as she has come into
literature, we shall gain something in
the destruction of all our vast and musty
libraries of precedents, which now fetter
our administration Of individual justice.
1t is Mandeville's opinion that women
are not SO sentimental as men, and are
not so easily touched with the unspoken
poetry of nature; being less poeticai and
having less Imagination, they are more
fitted for, practical affairs, and would
make less failures in busineis. have
noticed the almost selfish passion for
their flowers which old gardners have,
and their reluctance to part with leaf
or blossom from their family. They
love the flowers for themselves. A wo-
man raises flowers for their use. She is
destruction in Conservatory. She
wants the flowers for her lover, for the
sick, for the poor, for the Lord on Easter
day, for the ornamentation of her house.
She delights in the costly pleasure of
sacrificing them. She never sees a
flower but She has an intense but prob
ably sinless desire to pick it. f.ar

The art of book-binding is undoubtedly
almost, il not quite, as old as paper.ma-
king. The first method Of binding books
consisted in gluing the sheets together
and rolling them upon cylinders To
the present day the Israelites use this
method for at least one copy of their
law always deposited in their syna-
gogues. As the name of this kind of
binding is called Egyptian, the process
probably originated in Egypt. But the
present manner of binding is also of
great antiquity. 1t was invented in
Pergamos at least two hundred years B.
c., by King Attalus. The various sizes
of books are denoted by terms indicating
always the number of pages printed on
one side of a sheet Of paper. When two
pages are printed on one, the book is
called folio; four pages, a quarto, eight
pages, an octave; twelve pages, duode-
elmo; eighteen pages, an octodecimo.
All these terms except the first are
abridged by pre6xing a figure or figures
to the last syllable, thus Alto, for quarto,

Gustaye pore.

From a Paris letter. u.dl
Gustave Dore must be admired, not
for his paintings, but for his patience
and perseverance. For ten years past
this great artist, without any signs OF
Encouragement, has exposed bis pic
lures at the different Salons without
| success. fEE o.
There is an imposing side to this dis
play of energy, and such sustained
and noble struggle by man of talent is
interesting to all, but he only listens to
his own audaciiy,, and grapples with
historical paintings, which are not in
his sphere, and in his eagerness to OBJ
tain supremacy over the brush, as he
has over the pencil, he resembles some
poor frail, puny novice, who never hav-
ing visited gymnasium is nevertheless
desirous of performing on the trapeze.
Dore's prodigious imagination and mar.
velous facility as drawer, have made
him the most celebrated illustrator of
the day, but the gift Of painting he does
not possess to an equal degree of per
fection, for when in his drawings of
trees and forests he shows himself to be
such superb colorist, with the palette
in his hand the same effects are sought
in vain. In his smallest sketches his
penciled harmony is admirable, but in
his pictures everything is violent, obsti-
nate and contrary to the temperament
OF the artist.
Critics essay to explain to Dore that
his paintings are awkward and grace
less, because he forces his talent, but he
does not listen to them, and paints now
as much as he draws, choosing subjects
from his fertile fancy, scene in the
Kursual, landscape, battle, Spanish
smugglers, flowers, forests, mountains,
anything that happens to please him;
and for the "Salon" Of 1872, he has ex-
posed an enormous canvas representing
the Massacre of the Innocents. Other
artists would despair of ever attaining
the ideal they pursue after so many
semi-failures; but Dore will assuredly
continue, with his indomitable will and
iron energy, to the very end. Let us
hope that in 1873 he will have overcome
all obstacles, and will have bis ambition
gratiied by being recognized and ac-
cepted as a great artist of the modern |
French school.
