urer.
The bill to punish persons traudu-
lently packing cotton has received its
second reading. The penalty attached
to the offence is fine from $50 to
81, 900, or Imprisonment from one to
six months.
The bill to declare certain legal
holidays has also received its second
reading. 1t declares January l, Feb
ruary %, July 1, December 25, and
the national Thanksgiving day: legal
holidays.
The bill to amend the State civil
rights bill, which was introduced to
supply defect in the original law,
has received its second reading, and is
as follows:
1T shall not be lawful for any COM
mon carriers, Or any party or parties
engaged in any business, calling or
pursuit, for the carrying on of which
a license or charter is required by any
law, municipal. State or Federal, or by
any public rule or regulations, whether
he or they have obtained such license
Or charter, OR fail or neglected to OBJ
tain the same, or for any party or par
ties keeping an inn, restaurant or other
place of accommodation or retreshment,
whether license or charter is required
for the keeping of the same or other
wise. to discriminate between persons
on account of race, color or previous
condition, who shall make lawful ap-
plication for the benefit Of such busl-
ness, calling or pursuit"
The Investigations brought to light
by the special investigating committee
in the matter of the bond and coupon
funding will likely claim the attention
Of the Assembly for some time. Last
week the idea was entertained OF a
sine die adjournment and the I'M
patience of the people seemed likely
to be quieted, but now the sceDc IS
changed, and the grave matter now be-
fore the body, and in which the whole
people are interested, must be investl-
gated. If the Treasurer is guilty or
not guilty the facts should be made
clear. That something is wrong there
is no question Of doubt about. As
said; the matter is a grave one, the
charges have been made, aud an ez-
| animation of the closest kind should
be had. Therefore, the Assembly
must remain in session still longer.

Where Rests the Blame I?

The report of the Joint Special
Committee appointed by the Legisla-
ture to investigate the funding of the
bonds, under the Act known as the
Consolidation Act, is very grave
paper. 1t is question merely of fact.
If the facts are as this report states
them to be, it would seem matter of
great Importance to the public inter
est that some cognizance of them
should be taken by the Legislature.
The report states that s97S, 900 of the
81, 73,3S5.93, funded in bonds under
this Act, have been declared, by the
unanimous vote Of the Senate, impro-
perly funded. IS that so? Is the re-
port true in this particular, and if
true, is there no way to save the people
from an unjast debt of nearly l,000,-
900? And who is responsible for the
funding of these doubtful bonds ?
The report shows that large
amount Of coupons, which have ma
tured and been paid, ought to have
been cancsled, are also funded, and
declares it to be a fraud on the State.
It specifies the class, value and dates
Of these coupons, and points out four
classes maturing and paid at four
several dates, all of which have been
funded, and which amount to the sum
Of s454,G2l. This is large sum for
the State to pay twice Some Of these
have not only been paid, but paid in
gold. Are these statements of this
committee true or false, and upon
whom does the responsibility fall?
The committee say distinctly and with
very little courtesy, that the response
bility rests on the State Treasurer.
1t is now in order for the Uni0n-
Herald to prove that the committee
are in the wrong, and have grleyouSIy
assailed the State Treasurer. We hope
that this task will not be too much for
it. Ii .he committee have malicious.y "
wrongcd Mr.. Cardoza, it deserves the
public condemnation aud if not, the
State Treasurer has greatly wrongcd Il
suffering people.-Ph9nir.

A Patient that is Cured.
SOUTH CAROLINA AND THE NEW FORCE
BlLL-EIEWS OF GOV. CHAMBER
LAIN'S ORGAN.

The proposition to clothe the Presl,
dent with power to declare martial
law in States where civil commotlon
threatens State authority, excltes the
usual amount Of discussion throughout
the country. We DO not propose to
discuss the proposition on Its merits,
but what We propose to do is simply
to say what interest South Carolina
has in the matter, and what necessity
there is for its adoption so far as she
is concerned. The measure proposed
has a clear reference to the Southern
States, as affording by their condition
the occasion for its discussion. South
Carolina is one of them, and Is ex-
pected to speak her mind. We do
not pretend to utter her voice, but to
say what we think is the prevailing
idea on tie subject.
IFe do not need the passage Of
such an act Of Congress. We believe
the people of this State, ''without dis
tinctiou of race or color" have made
up their minds that what they need Is
public servants of intelligence, expe-
rience and honesty, and as they have
got the votes and can have it their
own way, that is the beginning and
end of all our tronbles. Under such
circumstances We have nothing to fer.
With that idea fixed among the people
no bayouets are needed to maintain
order. Our people have come to the
conclusion that they have got to take
care of themselves. They have been
sick and miserable, and were thankful
to Uncle Sam Tor his pills aud uur$
ing; but now they feel better, aid
their appetite has ccme, and they
politely thank the doctor for his kind
ness, and bid him good day. Under
such circumstances We Can look cool!y
and dispassionately Oh this discussion.
We Do not need martial law, but il
we did We can manufacture for our,
selves excellent homemade martha.

Legislative.

The bill to amend the election law
has received its second reading.
As the bill originated it contained
section of redistricting the State,
but separate bill for that purpose
being pending, that section was strick-
en- out The bill, as it passed, makes
the following amendments: The State
elections are to be held on the first
Tuesday after the first Monday in No.
vember every second year. The Gov
ernor is to appoint, Immediately after
the act, two managers of election for
each county, to hold Office for two
years; and the managers Of election
are to appoint three Judges of election
for each polling place in the county.
The managers cannot be removed
without the consent Of the Senate,
and should vacancy occur, 1t IS to
be filled by the Governor, with the
advice and consent Of the State board
Of canvassers. The county board of
managers are to forward the poll lists
and returns to the Governor and secre-
tary of State, filing duplicates in the
Office of the clerk Of the courts and
the secretary of State shall deliver
the returns for Governor to the speak
er of the House of Representatives.
The board Of State canrassers shall
meet on the second Tuesday after each
general election, and shall have power
to adjourn from day to day for a term
not exceeding six days. The elections
for Judges of probate, county commls-
sioners and school commissioners and
constable are ordered to take place on
the first Tuesday after the first Mon
day in November, 1876, and every
two years thereafter. The elections
for sheriAs, coroners and clerks Of
court are fixed for the same day in
1876, and every four years thereafter.
Whittemue gave notice Of an amend
ment giving the Governor power to
fill any vacancy that may occur in the
State Offices.
The bill to abolish the system which
compels the publication Of legal notices
in official newspapers will doubtless
become law, as it should, it already
having passed 10 4 third reading by q
vote of - to -. 1t should never
have existed.
The tax levy as is it now stands is
oc fn1lo,rs.

The Thornwen Orphanage.

An earnest appeal is made for con-
tributions to aid in completing the
buildings necessary for the successful
working of this noble charity. Will
the appeal be made in vain? We trust
not. The call is not for any large
sum. but for the little mite of 81, or
more as the sympathy of the donor
may prompt. The buildings are now
in progress. The cost of grounds and
buildings is estimated at $4,000, and
and $1,000 have been paid in, with a
donation Of $500 as an endowment
fund. We commend the Orphanage
to the charitably inclined. A circular
from the president: Rev. VIM. ?.
Jacobs, says:
We need at once $4,000 to COM
plete our building. The workmeu
can finish it thoroughly by the lst Of
July if We keep them in funds. We
are eager for the day of opening,
which we trust will be sometime dur
inc that month. Oh, if you could
only hear, as we have heard, the pit
cous pleading FIR home and friends,
from the thin lips Of the little ones,
you would not grudgc one dollar: no;
nor many dollars if you had them TO
help On this good work We 10 not
ask you to give, without first having
given ourselves. And we assure you,
that your money will not be paid to
agents or salaried officers. for re haze
none, but every cent of it will go to this
house that we are building, by the
help Of our God.
We ask YOU then to spare q mite to
the building fund Of the Thornwell
Orphanagc Aud when you send your
own gift perhaps you could influence
some friend to send little with yours.
We do not ask much. We know you
have many calls upon your charity
But Your money here would be well
bestowed, and would go to establish a
home that will be still working out
its mission Of love when we are in our
Graves

THE RADICAL DILEMMA.-The
American people might almost forgive
Grant for aspiring to third term.
since his efforts in that direction
promise the utter &nnihilation Of the
Radical party. lie has placed the
party in dilemma from which there
is no escape. The defeat Of the
proposed bayonet election lava
measure that has so justly excited
the fears and aroused the indigna-
tion Of the people Of the entire
Tnion-would not relieve the radical
party from the ignoluiuy Of having
cousp;red to overthrow the liberties
Of the country; while the passage and
attempted enforcement Of such 4 law
would iusure its overwhelming defeat
The prospect now is tnat the caucus
infamy viii lot receive majority Of
me radica! votes in congress. But
that will cot save radicalism from the
dcosn that awaits it. "Nhom the
