/. During the last three months
business men have been compelled
to give nll their time and energy
to save their business from ruin.
2. This proves that the vnluo of
money invested in commercial
pursuits is, to Il great degree, con-
tingont upon the life Of its possess
sor. Your estate, rs n whole, de-
privctl Of your management, must
shrink in vnluo from the moment
Of your death.
3. Since, therefore, your busi-
ncss, and all your Investments, will
be Of less value tomorrow IL you
arc dead, than to-day while you
arc living, 1t is evident that your
life should bc fully insured. The
hardness Of tho times, instead of
furnishing an excuse for delay,
should add weight to the argu-
ments i'll favor Of ofi1nmctiate insur-
ance, tor ifit is hard for YOU to
pay premium NOW, how much
harder would it be for your family
to support themselves, in these
times, you were dead.
q. Discharge at once this duty
which you KNOW YOU owe to
your family. The feeling that
your family is provided for, no
matter what may happen, will af-
ford you comfort, which an equal
amount of1noncy laid out in any
other way could not purchase.
This question claims your
consideration NOW. Weigh it
carefully, and decide before the
close Of the year what action
you will take. Before insur-
ing, examine the EQUITA-
BLE'S TONTINE SAVINGS
FUND POLICY, which offers
advantages secured by no other
plan Of insurance.

A SHARP RASCAL. n. Pierce, Jr.,
late cashier of the Merchants National
Bank, at Lowell, Mass. who, it is
charged, has been fifteen years embez-
zling SS0.0O0 to SlO0, 600, it is alleged
also stole his own bond, so that the bank

The scarcity of greenbacks has stimu-
lated the couaterfeiters to increased

their efforts to relieve tho stringency of
the money market will not be duly ap-
preciated by the citizens of this un.

the pirates and buccaneers.
Grand Chancellor Jukes, OF the

Monument 20 the Confederate Dead,
MIR. EDITOR: We have so many calls
for charitable purposes, that it seems to
me, in our impoverished condition. we
should consider we'll how our little
charity should be dispensed. 1 think
the monument proposed by our lady
friends is too expensive. While at
tempting to build this monument to the
dead, the living are suffering for educa.
ton and bread. $4,000 would build a
me nothing could be more appropriate
than q plain granite shaft, fifty feet
high, if you wish; but let it be natioe
granite, aciMom ornaments; anything
like ornamepts or figures will surely be
defaced 0nd broken. This sum has al
ready been collected, and l hope the
ladies will reconsider the matter, and
give some Of their attention to building
home for the orphans Of these dead
heroes. This wonld be practical
monument, lasting monument, that
will answer the double purpose of COM
memorating the dead and providing for
the destitute living. I have heard
more than ono distinguished soldier say
if he had been killed, he would much
prefer his orphan children should be
provided for than monument of any
kind should be built in honor of his
services; that they believed first in pro-
viding for the living widows and
oTphans-many of whom are suffering
for the necessarios of life. If we glance
at the history Of other nationa we will
find ample provision was always frst
made for the surviving wounded soldiers,
the orphans and widows OF the dead
the monument was always q secondary
consideration. ORPHAN.

LeEislative.

Legislative.
In the House of Representatives. yes
terday. Mr.. Artson, Of Charleston, in
troduoed resolution that the bills re-.
ceivable in the Treasurer's Office be can
celed. After failure of motion to
postpone till Wednesday. Mr.. Crews. OF
Laurens, offered one, that the whole
matter be postponed indefinitely. This
being negatived, the resolution WAS
adopted.
A resolution in reference to the pay
and mileage Of members was not agreed
to.
A little debate sprung up upon the
matter OF agricultural land scrip. 1t
was brought on by resolution of Mr..
Ramsay. of Sumter, inquiring what dis.
position had been made of the bonds
received in payment of scrip in the
hands OF Mr.. Kimpton, the State Finau-
cinl Agent. 1t was stated by Mr.. Hur-
ley that, by special Act of the Legis.
lature. it had bosn entrusted to the Co.
vernon. the Secretary of State and the
Attorney General, who were then, re-
speGtively, Il. K. Scott, T. L. Oardozo
d. 81. Chamberlain. That it had never
been deposited in the treasury at all. 1t
had been sold, us reported, at 72,a, but
the man to whom it was sold made an
affidavit to the effect that he gave 81.
This variation he characterized as "a
typographical error" The proceeds
had been donated to ClaAin University.
But they had not enjoyed any benefit
from it. The trustees of that institu
ton should call upon the Financial
Agent for them. He offered motion
to that effect. Mr.. Smith, of Spartan
burg, objected, saying that the scrip had
beon placed by law in the hands of The
Financial Board and by them deposited
With the Financial Agent, who, in 1871,
had sold it to an Ohio man for $780, 900
or 100000. The Trustees OF Ola.
film or the Mechanics Institute were
only appointed in 1872. It wonld be
more proper, therefore, to go directly
after the Financial Agent, and not by q
roundabout process through the Board
of Trustees. If the Agent has wronged
the people, let him be brought to stern
account. Mr.. Boston, of Newberry,
offered q series Of. resolutious on the
subject, which we're adopted, aud OF
which the following il the concluding
part:
"Whereas thoy have never made re-
port of their transactions as Trustees,
and the said Kimpton is said to hold
and refuse to deliver up the said bonds;
and whereas, under the Aot incorporat-
ing the Agricultural College and Me.
chanios' Institute, the said bonds were
donated to the said College, and the an
nual interest appropriated to pay the
expenses thereof; and whereas they have
never been able to get possession of said
bonds; therefore,
"Resolred, That the said Trustees, or
any of them, be instructed to institute
legal proceedings at once against the
said Kimpton, to recover possession of
said bonds, and the Attorney. General be
instructed to render every assistance me-
cessary to carry this resolution into
effect"

The Finance Committee of the Senate
held an importan. meeting Monday
evening. There were present of the
Committee, Senator Owens, Chairman,
and Senators Whittemore. Nash, Swails,
Snalls and Gaiilard, Senator Duncan
being absent. The subject of the pre.
sent State debt, which has attracted
such general attention lately from one
end OF the State to the other, was care.
fully and earnestly considered, What
course could be best pursued in the en-
barrasslng matter, was the ali u-absorbinR
question. After q full discussion and
general expression OF. opinion regarding
the status of the several grades and
forms of bonds that constituted the
same. it was the unanimous belief of the
Committee that some definite action was
most poramptorily demanded. The
question OF how this should be done,
and what was the beat course to pursue,
was carefully conaidered; and the CON
clusion arrived at WAS. that it was neces.
eary to pass such laws "a would apply to
every particular class Of bond indebted-
| aess-in other words, that nothing In
the form OF an omnibus bill ahould an
ter into the arrangement, bnt specific
bills for each specific class Of bonds or
debts. 80 that hereafter there can be no
doubt. so far MS Legislative action shall
be or has been concerned. To carry out
this plan, a sub b-oommittee was appoint.
ed to prepare bills to be submittsdi 10
the Finance Committee at an earlidate.
The tenor, OF the remarks of the Com
mfttee was most decidedly in favor Of
repudiaing any OF the debt considered
to be fraudulent; including the Sc. .O0O,-

pended in tho territorial acquisition. If
it bo said that the only Legitimate object
of acquiring territory is to furnish
homes for white men. this measure
effects that object; for the emigration of
colored men leaves additional room for
white men remaining or coming here. :"
And he closes with the following strik-
ing remarks: "On the whole PROPOSE
ton, including the appropriation OF
money. with the acquisition OF terri
tory, does not the expediency amount to
absolute necessity, that without which
the Government itseIf cannot be per.
petunted?"
And here lot it be remembered, tha t
whom this message was sent to Congress
by Mr.. Lincoln, WIN. II. Seward, Sal
mon P. Chase. Simon Cameron and
othor distinguished lights OF the Repub-
lican party were members of his Cabi-
net and his constitutional advisers, and
must therefore be presumed to have ap.
proved and sanctioned this important
recon- dation.
In the summer Of 1862, Mr. Lincoln,
then President of the United States, was
visited by c delegation OF free colored
people, who, believe, were from Vir-
ginia.
He availed himself OF the occasion to
make to them an address, from which I
submit the following extract. Speaking
to his swartby visitors, he said: "Why
should not the people of your race be
oolonizedP Why should they not leave
this country2 This is, perhaps, the
first question for consideration. You
and We are different race. We have
between us broader difference than
exists betwoen almost any other two
races. Whether it is right or wrong, I
need not discuss. But this physical
difference is great disadvantage to us
both, rs I think your race suffers
greatly. many of them, by living with
us, while ours suffers from your pre-.
sence. In q word. we suffer on each
side. II this be admitted, it shows O
