EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
COLUMBIA, Dec. s.

The week has passed quietly in legls-
lativc matters. No very important meas
ures have been perfected, but this does
not indicate entire idleness on the part OF
members. Tn the committees and in the
private conferences the big jobs arc be-
ing considered, manipulated and beaten
into shape by the diverse interests.
Every session experiences faint and
futile effort toward reducing the legisla-
tive expenses by cutting off some OF the
innumcrable employees Of the house.
We have never seen this result in good
but hope that eventually there will be
success. In the senate and house it was
resolved that such employees as were
drawing pay from any other source were
to be cut off,, The clerk of the house re-
ported list of thirty-three persons en-
ployed in the house. Among them we
notice L. j. Smith, Judiciary committee
clerk, at six dollars per day, who IS also
storekeeper at the penitentiary; Hugh
Kane is reported as messenger at three
dollars day, who is sergeant at the pen
itentiary. The modest list Of thirty
three thas reported is in reality very far
from the true number drawing pay from
the house. With little trouble could
give list of twice that number who will
Carry off pay certificates ranging from two
to six dollars day each.
A bill was introduced on Tuesday
which will appropriate about one hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars to pay va
rious claims. Ofcourse many meritori-
Gus claims will be among them, but the
bulk of the appropriation is to pay the
certificates issued last session in excess of
the appropriations for legislative expen-

THE BOND QUESTION.

DoND
As the COMMERCIAL has al along'pre-
dicted, the conversion bends are not dead
by any means. It. is now gradually con-
ceded that any satisfactory debt settle
ment must make provision fer their re-
tirewent, The house bill ica'ing all the
bonIs except the conversion bonds, and
atteriyrepuG2ting the latter, has stopped
in the soIate. When it goes back to the
horse. if it ever does, its framer will not
! know it. Every class Of the bonds will
| be included in the scaling process, and
the whole floating debt, including Par
ker's notes and the Blue Ridge scrip Will
be taken care ofin some shape.
The administration feels that it must
20 into the fight next fall stripped Of all
such encumbrances.
Civil rights resolutions have passed
both branches, requesting our represen-
tatives and instructing our senators to
vote for Sumner bill.
CoLoRED PRINTERS.
On Friday Mr.. Bowley introduced a
resolution into the house to have COM
mittec Of five appointed to enquire into
the alleged discrimination against colored
printers in the Office of the Republican
Printing company. 1t was very justly
argued that a company supported so
lavishly by the party should be the last
to give countenancc to the exclusion Of
colored printers from its office.
THE CuIEF JUSTICE.
A time has not yet been fixed for the
election of a chief justice of the supreme
court. Several candidates are spoken of,
but it is generally thought that the pres
ent incumbent will be reelected. L. j.
Mackey is a candidate.
Hon. n. B. Myers has introduced his
bill to incorporate an agricultural and
mechanical society for Beaufort county.
which has been favorably reported on by
the committee.
Brunson will be Incorporated this scs-
sion. In regard to Port Royal We have
as vet heard nothing.
The general assembly met in Joint con-
vcntion on Friday and reelected Mr..
Mckinley register Of men>c conveyance
for Charleston. At republican caucus
held the night before to select candi-
date for the position, the Rev. +. j..
Adams, of Charleston was a candidate
against Mckinley. Finding that he was
beaten he made speech in which he
said that he had been approached by a
friend and told that if he gave 500 he
could be assured Of the support of his
exccllency the governor. On the next
day Senator Smalls and others addressed
a letter to Rev. Mr.. Adams demanding
the name Of the person thus offering on
the part Of the governor to secure Adams
nomination for the sum of $500. The
reverend gentleman at once responding
named the Hon. j. ID. Robertson of
Beaufort county, as the person who offer
ed the $500 on the part of his excclency.
4 letter was then addressed to Mr.. Rob
ertson requesting an cxplana ton of the
transaction. That gentleman at once
replied, cmphatically denying that he
ever made such an offer to the reverend
candidate. The correspondence is pub
lishcd in full in the. Union Herald, So
here is another Of those things which no
fellow can fui out, you know. II will
ever remain an interesting question Of

Fight your own battles. Hoe your own

will succeed better than one who is always
seeking some ones patronage. No one
will ever help you as you help yourself,
because no one will be SO heartily inter-
ested in your affairs. The first step will
not be such long one perhapsi but carv-
ing your way up the mourtsin, you make
each one lead to another, and stand firm
in that while you chop still another out.
Men who have made fortunes are not
those who had five thousand dollars given
them to start with, but started W Il we'll

Men who have by their own exertions
acquired fame, have not been thrust into
popularity by pufs begged or paid for, or
given in friendly spirit. They have out
stretched their hands and touched the
public heart, Men who win love do their
own wooiug, and I never knew man to
fail so signally as one who had induced
his affectionate grsndmamma to speak a
good word for him. Whether you work

Encouraging.

We were shown, yesterday, an auto
gra h letter from ex-President Davis, ad-
dressed to Captain D. NJ. Darlington,
President of the local Board of Directors
of the Carolina Life Insurance Company,
in which he states that he entertains most
favorably the proposition which was made
some time ago by the board, through Cap
tain Darlington, to have the company
erect one or more buildings in this city
Mr.. Davis is still expecting 10 visit this
portion Of Texas, and promises 10 confer
with the local board Of his company here
relative to their proposition when be
comes. The cItIssns Of this Stale Will
give BIN 0 hearty welcome whenever be

We published Yesterday d proposition
made by Mr.. J. W. Calder, President OF
the above road, to which we invite the
attention of our readers, and particularly
those who are interested in the growth
and prosperity of our young and thriving
city. We candidly believe that the build
ing of this road in connection with other
improvements is one Of the best things
that can be done for the future of Dallas,
and We urge upon our people to consider
well the proposition. Just now con-
tractors--men who do the actual work OF
building roads-can be got to take hold
of this enterprise on much more favora-
BILE terms than they can year or two
hence. Then let our people take the mat
ter under advisement, consider il well,
and act accordingly.
