GENERAL INCORPORATION LAw.-The Sem
ate on Monday reconsidered its former action,
and passed the proposed amendment to the
Constitution SO as to permit the passage Of a
General Incorporation act. twill have to be
approved by the Legislature in 1875, before IL
becomes a part of our fundamental law. We
hope that after that time, corporations need not
ask the Legislature for charter, but go into
operation on complying with the conditions
prescribed. Senator Riddle deserves much
credit for the interest he has manifested in this
as well as In all other wholesome measures.

that crime during the last year (1s72 had gone
hand in hand with prohibtion) Is thirty three per
cent less than ths average of the last seven
years. 1t should be noticed, moreover that the
number convicted AID last year is fifty per cent.
less than in 1871. Of course no one will claim
that our prohbtory laws are thoroughly enfor-

We take pleasure in inserting, as re-
quested. the plan Of cooperative immi-
grafton recently brought to the view Of
the Charleston Board OF Trade BY Mr..
Papin. We think it we'll to present this
subject in all its lights. Our people
need to have their attention aroused to
the Importance of this and kindred
questions. and to the necessity of warm
and ready reception of the industrious
Immigrant, come from what quarter he
may. The difficulties in the way
OF the coming of immigrants are
not. Of course, with our people. They
arise rather from the peculiar condition
and character Of our population, ana up
to this time, from fear OF robbery under
the forms of law, apd of confsoation
under the name of taxes. The passage
of tho bill to return bonus to capital
lists engaging fn manufactures. equal to
the amount of tax paid in on their
capital 80 employed, will do much. let
us hope. to revive confidence. It is all
important that whatever advantages of
soil, olimnte, products. &C., we have to
offer. should be made known equally
with the exemption referred to. In this
point Of view, the resolution of Mr..
Hurley. which was passed Monday,
which requires the Clerks of the two
houses to compile information relative to
immigration, and have it ready by the
beginning of next session. may be re-
garded as judioious. Much good may
be done in this quiet way, and fund OF
vast and valuable information and statis-
tics be collected. Meanwhile, if We can
agree in nothing else. let all parties unite
in welcoming the industrious and honest
immigrant.
