The Legislature

This body pretty generally appears to
be impressed with the necessity of re.
form IN public affairs and retrenchmcnt
in expenses, and very many bills and
resolutions have already been introduced
looking 20 these greatly desired ends.
And ON all sides the press Of the State is
giving its needs Of praise and encour-
agement Of the signs of promise for the
iature. Whatever may have been the
desire for different issue Of the gcnerai
election, and the hope of another coin
p!exion in the General Assembly, no ex-
pccssions Of disappointment are heard,
nor complaints uttered, bu; rather the
reverse, and for the reason that the par
ty IN power, or rather in office, nearly
all Of them seem to be actuated by q
Strong desire 10 amend the wretched,
rainous Legislation and rascality Of the
past; and true to the best interests Of
the State and people, the opponents, so.
called, have laid aside every other feel
ing in the hope or promise Of amend
men,. And it could not be otherwise,
and will be, while the administration Of
affairs are conducted with honesty and
justice, bitter and vengeful republicans
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Among the noticeable measures pro-
posed, is one to reduce fees of county
Treacrrers; to abolish office Of Audi.
tors, end devolve the duty on the Treas.
urers to repeal the Act to establish an
armed force to amend the code Of pro-
cedure; to prevent County Commissioners
being interested in contracts; 10 repeal
the liccncc law, already reported back
from committee for recomm endation
that i. do pass to repeal an Act enti
tied IAN Act to relieve the State oil
South Carolina Of al! liability for its
guaranty Of the bonds Of the Blue Ridge
Railroad Company" etc, etc.

Governor Moses Inaugural

Was delivered before the members of
the Senate and House on the third in
slant. The Gov. devotes the greater
part Of his message to review Of the
late unfortunate CONDITION of affairs in
the State, and generally throws the bur
den of their existence upon the tax pay
ers; compliments the retiring Governor
for his successful administration, and
euiogizes Mr.. Greeley, which latter We
hope he feels, heartily.
The Governor says:
"While shall not forget that, as a
candidate, represented in my person
the C"ion Republican party, whose ben.
ctcent principles are expressed ia the
doctrine OF eqaa! rights and exact jus.

Governor SCOTS Valedictory Message

Is without any special interest. It's
arguments are not strong. Rather than
this they are in the main fallacious. He
acknowledges the dreadful increase Of
the State debt, and Of course tries in
geniouSly to throw the blame and bur-
Gen where they do not belong.
The Carolinian says:
The people are informed again, too,
Of that insignificant amount of $45,
which was found in the State Treasury
when His Excellency took charge Of af;
fairs"
about this, we will only say that
$40 is more money than has been in the
Treasury to meet any honest demand
for two-thirds of the time during the
past four years"
1t would be gratifying to state that
S45 are there now.

recollection of their defeat, save by prov
ing in my public conduct that their re-
proaches were undeserved."
We do not like the general tone Of the
Governors inaugural. The use Of the
word rededicate is unfortunate. We do
hope that the Governor and his legisla'
ture will dedicate" their powers: as We
are inclined to think they desire, to q
good policy, for they stand with "the
oath of office in all its solemn sanctity'
fresh upon the Governors lips.
We shall at all times be more than
pleased to give Gov. Moses and his leg
islature full measure of praise for al
the good they do in behalf Of our bur
dened and distressed Commonwealth.

The prettiest orange grove in Florida
is also one Of the most profitable. 1t is
the property Of Mr. Fl. L. Hart, Of
Palatka, on the St. Johns river, and its
situation is directly opposite that place,
on the eastern bank of the river, which
is there perhaps nearly two miles wide.
Though the grove is not extensive, cover
ing only eight or nine acres, and con-
tanning scarcely five hundred trees, we
understand that Mr.. Hart sold last
winter no fewer than 5000 0 oranges
as its product, at three cents piece.
This is a pretty big story. If true it

Hypocrisy Scientifically Considered,

DR. Batcman an eminent English
physician, has been devoting himself
to a scientific consideration of the sub
ject of hypocrisy. The very common
practice saying one thing and mean.
ing the directly opposite, has been
familiar to people in all ages and gen.
erations Of the world
With some this habit is constant,
because theyare absolute hypocriles
while others indulge in IL more or less
occasionally, because it is expcdient at
the time. II has been common thing
all along in the political history of the
world, TO credit diplomatists and po.
liticians with moro than ordinary pro.
ficiency in tho doubtful art, and there
are numerous recorded instances in
history, in which men Of learning and
talent have justified the means, pro.
vidcd the ends profcssed to be secured
were deemed good
But there is, however, class Of in
diyiduals, whose brains and minds arc
unfortunately so constituted that II is
well nigh impossible for them to alb
stain from this NAL usage of language
With them it seems to be wholly in
voluntary and it may be an actual
disease. Physicians have given the
name Of "aphasia" to this peculiar
mental condition. The word in the
original Crock means spcechlcssnoss,
caused by fear, astonishmcnt or per.
plexity. II also is equivalent 10 want
of utterance, embarrassment in speak.
ing or slowncss of ultcrancc, and, con.
scquently does not fully denote Tho
disease TO which we havc referred
which is most frequently atterdcc
with volubility, brazen- faccdncss hnc
q general incohcrcncy of words
We rather infer that tho term iath
or refers TO one of tho symptoms O
the disease than to the disease itself
To say the least of it, II is a fearful
malady, since it results from som'
organic defect in the brain. Thu
phase Of the case has been thoroughly
and elaboratciy discussed by DR.. Bate
man. There arc but few persons, !
indeed any, who have not at SOM
time or other met with some individ
ual who was not afflicted with thi
malady, which manifested itself ethc
in absence Of mind, misunderstanding
ordinary and common place sentences
giving absurd answers 10 reasonabl
questions, or exhibiting general con
fusion Of thoughts on almost over.
subject.
These are symptoms of somc essen
: tial defect in the brain, which shoul
! at onco receive the attention Of skill
: lul and competent physician and b
! properly treated. In old ago the d.
: cay Of the brain Is most frcquentl
:. noticed In o forgotfulncss Of name
I persons and more recent events, bt
!, . this cannot properly be called aphasi'
= unless II is tho result OF diseasc. Bl
y when defective recollection Of con
= mon events manifests itself In yonnl
or even middle.agcd persons, il is
d very strong indication Of unsolndne
