Legislative Notes.
Courier.

The bill to provide for an expeditions man
ner of abating nuisances has been postponed
until the regular session.
A bill to amend the law in relation to the
time of holding the Courts of Common Pleas
in the Eighth Circuit has passed second
reading in the Senate.
The enacting clause of the bill proposing to
revive the usury laws has been stricken out,
but the measure will likely be brought forward
again at the regular session.
A bill has been introduced to amend the
homestead law, which gives to married women
owning real estate an exemption under the
law, in cases where the husband has no home
stead.
The bill to make appropriations to pay the
claims Of the Sputh Carolina Bank and Trust
Company, after spirited discussion, was passed
in the House of Representatives. Messrs.
posed the passage Of the bill. The claims
amount to S125 1000.
In the House, on Wednesday last, during
the discussion Of the bill to reduce the volume
of the public debt and provide for its payment,
an amendment was proposed by Mr.. Meetze, Of
Lexington, that the fraudulent conversion
bonds be declared null and void, and that no
tax should even be levied to pay the interest
thereon. The amendment was carried by 81
to II, which settles the conversion bonds,
amounting to S., 965, 900, and reduces the vol
ume of the public debt that amount.
A bill to increase the bonds of the County
Treasurers from ten to twenty thousand dollars
has been introduced, and passed its second
reading in the Senate. The Treasurer of
Charleston County is required to give bond
of forty thousand dollars. Also, bill to
change the time of the annual meeting of the
Boards of County Commissioners to the first
Monday in November, instead of September,
as now required by law, the object Of which is
to begin the fiscal year for Counties at the
same period as the State.
The "cherubic" Kimpton, late financial
agent of South Carolina, was in Columbia last
week, and was interviewed by legislative
of the Agricultural College land scrip. The
money realized from the sale of the land scrip
was invested in conversion bonds, according to
Kimpton, which bonds were subsequently,
hypothccated to raise S57 $40, and they can
DOW be redeemed upon the payment of that
amount, with interest at seven per cent from
the time of the loan. Kimpton claims that
the State now owes him S629,OOO, in addition
The committee on ways and means, on Fri
day last, reported the bill to raise supplies for
the fiscal year commencing November lst, 1873
The aggregate is sixteen mills: seven for gen
eral State purposes, four for Deficiencies of last
year. two for public schools, and three for
county purposes. The bill makes it felony
for any State officer to collect any tax other
than that named in the bill. There is nothing
said about the interest on the public debt.
The tax is to be paid in gold, silver, United
States currency, national bank notes. or bills
receivable. There is no mention of the GER
tificates of Indebtedness or bills of the bank of
the State.

This statement is made up in part from ac-
tual measurements from maps in straight lines,
in part from the estimates of others. Absolutely
correct distances cannot be given until lines
are actually located, and all mountain lines
are more or less crooked. But with my in
formation, I venture to say the difference in
distance from London to Charleston by the
two routes will be found to be inconsiderable
and immaterial. Since this contest has been
renewed, have not been able to rid myself OF
the belief that there is some great mistake in
the superiority of the French Broad over the
Blue Ridge route in distance and cost of con-
struction, and the concurrent history of the
past would seem to support that belief. Until
some data more reliable, some information
more certain to the contrary is had than mere
general assertion, see no reason to abandon
the mountain crossing first selected by the State
and the city of Charleston, after so much of
the work has been done and so much money
expended upon it.

THE V1RG1N1Us OUrRAGE.--The steamer
virginius, containing men and arms for the
insurrectionists of Cuba, under the command
of Captain Joseph Fry, was run down and
captured near the island of Jamaica, on the
3lst uEt, by the Spanish man-of,war Tornado.
The total number of persons, including the
crew, on board, is stated to have been l65, of
whom ninety were natives of Cuba and the
remainder foreigners. The Tornado, with her
prize, sailed at midnight of that day for San
tiago de Cuba, and its arrival in port attracted
an immense crowd of people, while the Cover,
nor received congratulations from the civil and
military authorities, and gave a brilliant re-
ception in the evening. A court martial was
convened on the Tornado the next day for
trial of the captives, all of whom were tried as
pirates Four of the principal personages on
board the Virginius and the leader of the ex-
pedition were shot to death on the morning of
the 18th inst These we're General Bernabe de
Varona Pedro Cespodes, Jesus del Sol and
Gen. Ryan. The captain and thirty-six of the
crew were condemned and executed on the 7th,
and the next day, twelve more of the Cuban
volunteers on the vessel were shot.

introduced bill to raise supplies, which pro-
poses to levy taxes for specific purposes, and
have the money kept separate in the State
Treasury which would insure an expenditure
Of the taxes for the purposes designated. This
plan is fair and honest, and ought to be adopt

would know how the money is expended, which

and Gan the great object in view.

land Gap the great object in view.
''The cost, at moderate estimate, would not
be less than $120OO,O00. The trade of Geor,
gia, too, would be lost to the Road, for it would
be nearly or quite as short for her to carry on
her traffic, as now, by way of Knoxville and
Dalton.
"By way of Rabun Gap, on the other hand,
there are only one hundred and slxty-tour miles
Of new Road to be constructed, and OF this,
great deal of the heaviest work has been done
in detached sections, so that the cost OF COM
pleting it, will not exceed 81, SOC, 900, and by
this route the whole interior and seaboard OF
Georgia, are rendered as accessible, and brought
as near as those of South Carolina.
"It will be observed, too, that in computing
distances, We have given the Cumberland Gap
route the benefit of air lines as far as Asheville,
N. @. Whereas, in the case of the Rabun Gap
or Blue Ridge Road, it is the actual length of
the located line that is given"
Paris, KY, it will be remembered, is from
70 to IS miles north of London, Ky in a
raight line, and the argument loses none of
its force, therefore, when applied to the present
proposed connection. This is strong language,
stronger, perhaps, than should have ventured
to use against the French Broad route. And
when we remember it was used by such repre-
sentative men of Charleston as G.. A. Tren-
holm, J. B. Campbell, Edward Frost, H. Gour-
din, N. G. Mordecai, VIM. A. Courtenay, VIM.
Ravenel and others, we are at a loss to under
stand how we have "gone back on Charleston y
as MIR. Steedman says, in advocating the claims
of the Blue Ridge route. L do not know that
any work has been done or any roads have
been constructed since 1866 to materially vary
the case. What was true then suppose is true
now, "all the engineers who have surveyed it,
(the French Broad route,) all the railroad con-
ventions that have considered it, all the great
men that have advocated it as the most econon,-
ical and practical route across the Blue Ridge
and the Alleghanies to be found from the head
waters of the Susquehannah to the southern ter
mination of these ranges" to the contrary lot
withstandng.
To vindicate myself with Charleston for ad-
vocatiug the Blue Ridge over the French Broad
route, I could ask for no higher evidence of
my soundness than the testimony of such emf
nent Charleston gentlemen. 1t is or was a
Charleston enterprise, and if the Blue Ridge
route should be adopted, and the link from
here to Aiken should be completed, as in
dcated by the action of theAbbeville Con-
vention, then Charleston will be almost as
near to Chicago by the Blue Ridge as
by the French Broad route if the following
tabular statement of distances from London,
KY, by the two routes are correct:

tainly tantamount to withdrawal of their as
sent to the location agreed to in the Augusta
Convention; recision, in fact, of that action.
But only to leave the question of routes south
of London, KY, entirely open; and we received
the most unequivocal assurances that this ac-
ton was not intended in the least to prejudice
the future chances of the Blue Ridge route. Ii,
after full investigation, all those consldera-
tions which 90 to make up the practicability
ton, local aid, desirable connections, &c,-
pointed in favor of the Blue Ridge route, it
would be adopted; if to the French Broad, 1t
would be adopted. Such is my understanding
of the matter, and such in substance, think,
was the declaration of the distinguished Vice
President of the Company, Mr. Rae, on the
floor of the Chicago Convention; and MIR. oteed-
man must have forgotten that when committee
was appointed to report resolutions expressive
of the sense of the Convention, it was distinct
ly instructed not to attempt to indicate the
route, and this instruction was given with sPe-
cja reference to the two rival routes across the
mountains.
l must be permitted, therefore, to dissent to
his statement, when he says: "The route first
proposed" (the Blue Ridge "did not become
popular, and it was necessarily abandoned IN
favor Of the present proposed route" French
Broad supposc,) (Which is by far the short
est and most direct and practicable from Chlca-
90 to the South Atlantic"
If am correct, the first proposed" or Blue
Ridge route, has not been abandoned, nor has
the present proposed" or French Broad route
been adopted; on the contrary, the selection is
held in allegiance until fuller information ena-
bles the Company to decide intelligently be-
tween the two Unless, perchance, the author
;t;oo hovn to knn definite action since the ad-
ournment of the Chicago Convention, of which
Mr. eteedman has received information and we
have not. If SO, they have collected their in
formation veryhastly.
In reference to the attitude of the Anderson
delegation towards Charleston in the Conven-
ton, frankly admit that we went to Chicago
to represent the interests of Anderson, and be-
ievng that her interests we're identified with
the Blue Ridge route believing, too, that in
advocating the the claims of this route, we were
working within the scope of the enterprise as
originally designed We did not go there to
war upon the interests of Charleston, nor, as
delegation, did we do SO. On the contrary, the
