Bad for the Picnic.

"Old Probabilities has put in his say
and if the philharmonic want picnic
to-day, he says they must do itin the rain.
Naughty cold Probabilities !" If he ever
comes here he can't get Staub's Opera
House to show his face in, we know, for
Staub has set his heart on this picnic.
We know he has, for we heard him yester-
dry try to set mans heart ON it two dol
lars and half's worth. But we suppose
the picnic will be postponed. We have no
idea the singers will be deprived of their
frolic. The boat is chartered for the first
pretty day. But Old Probabilities +" may
be mistaken and there may be enough fair
weather to go to Lyons View and back. ?

From Messy Creek.

We have been permitted to see private
letter to Gen. Cooper from his son David,
from the above place, in which he says
that the cut worm is playing sad havoc In
the fields of clover about there. Fields OF
Col. b. M. Branner and Mr.. Odell have
been entirely ruined. The worm begins
on the stalk in the morning and attacks
the leaves as the heat of the day ap-
proaches. The wheat and oats crops he
reports as looking fair.

The Poor Atbeueans.

From the aspiring young city that claims
the name of the great city of Greece comes
sad report as to the condition of its peo-
pie. Great sorrow rests upon it because
the Methodist University was not located
there. We are sorry! WINS had raised
great expectations there by the force of
his arguments in his Post. But then
WINS is fallible. 1t is not the first
time his predictions have failed. Athens
did nobly. In proportion to its size, it did
better than Knoxville. 1t sent commit
tee of handsome men here to watch us.
But they got more interested in our pretty
girls than in the College. While they were
promenading the streets and peeping in at
the show windows looking at our big
sticks of candy and our big round ginger
cakes, the Knoxville COMMITTEES was hard
at work raising that fifty thousand dollars.
That money and our beautiful city with
its bright future did the work, and not
even the elegance, good looks or shrewd-
ness of the Athenian delegates could pre-
vail against it. If Demosthenes himself
had lived in this modern Athens, that
raises its front so defiantly, he could not
have been eloquent enough to counteract
the solid speech of the President of our
Board of Trade and his associates. We
are sorry to hear that our jealous young
sister is so spiteful and bad natured. There
is time enough for it to grow yet and we
toust it will not visit upon us its threats
and maledictions.

Mr.. d. F. Rogers has made a proposition
to the Gas Committee of the City Council
to furnish the beautiful solid glass lantern,
with porcelain dome, at a cost of fifteen
dollars for each post now up, where gas is
being used. Mr.. r. is bringing the merits
of the carbonate gas before the community,
and if his proposition is accepted the re-
mote portions of the corporate limits can
be as brilliantly illuminated as Gay street,
and at ne-fourth of the cost.

BURIED AL1vE.-A terrible story comes
from Savannah. A oolored man. named
Andrew Dow, who was supposed to be
dead, but whose body continued warm,
was, owing to the drunken and bolster
GUS condition of the watchers, placed in
receiving vault, met with terrible
fate. The Savannah Adceriiser says:
Yesterday, the vault was opened, and
the coffin brought ont for permanent
burial elsewhere, when it was noticed
that the strong screws which had been
tightly driven in three days previously
were strained, and the top of tho coffin
pried half open. Tremblingly, and with
the most dreadful anticipations. the box
was opened, and horrible, most horrible
to relate, the body was found turned and
twisted over, the face downward, one
hand clutching the hair of the head, the
other reaching out, with the nsiis driven
into the wood; the teeth clenohed, the
eyes glazed and distended, and even the
feet giving evidence Of having been used

Encouragement OF Manufactures.

Encouragement OF Manufactures.
We had the'plea,ure, nearly month
ago. OF giving our approval to the main
features Of a bill to aid and encourage
manufactures and internal improve
ments, introduced by Mr.. Browley,
Chairman Of the Committee Of Ways and
Means in hetHouse of Representatives.
We are grateful to learn that Mr.. Levy,
OF Charleston, on Tuesday last, intro
duoed bill of similar character, and
having for object the same desirable re.
sult-ot the investment and employment
of oopital in the manufacture OF cotton
and woolen fabrics and yarns within the
State. The bill Of Mr.. Levy, as we'll us
the one previously in the hands OF the
Committee OF Ways and Means, pro-
poses to exempt from taxation all capi.
tai and property employed in the manu-.
faoture OF cotton and wool, for period
OF ten years. This is measure which
is urgently called for, and which pro.
misses to be productive of the most val.
liable consequences. It will induce capi.
tai to come in as we have often shown,
and it will open O new industry to large
numbers OF poor persons, who, ns things
stand. are shat out o. decent and suita-
BILE employment. 'fsa. h

intends that the bonds of the State shall
not BIZ hawked about in the stock mar
ket.
Tho next thing the Constitution looks
to is, how the debt thus created and rep
resented by bonds shall be redeemed /.
This is pointed out in the 10th Section
Of the same article, where two things are
provided for:
]. The old debts of tho State, due be-
fore the adoption Of the Constitution of
1868. 2. The debts expressly authorized
III TINT Constitution, then under consi-
dsration. For the first, scrip may be
issued to redeem them; and for the &C.
cond. scrip also, when tho debts created
and IN tho shape Of bonds, according to
the Constitution, shall become due. II
the Stute finds itself, at the day, not in
funds to pay the bonds, and if the hold
ers of the duo bonds will not take ne,o
bonds issued as for ne,0 debt, to re-
place the due bonds. then scrip may
Issue to redeem such due bonds.
1n no other way can South Carolina
now contract debt, and no scrip can be
issued except to redeem suoh constitu-
tionally created debt by bond. The
ninth article of the Constitution is in
tended to leud to this very result, viz:
To make it difficult for the Legislature
to involve the State in debt. Give us
this ninth article OF the Constitution of
South Carolina in its purity, and We
could ask no moro Il is absolutely per-
fect. if enforced, to prevent extravaganza
aud fraud.
Now, was the bond scrip ever bond
orsated under the limitations of tho
seventh and fourteenth sections of the
ninth article OF the Constitution? This
will not be even pretended.
Having shown how only debt can bo
created, ohr next duty is to show that no
snch debt ever existed: and more than
