A New BONANZA. Puff" the cor

A New BoNANzA.-"Puff." the cor
respondent of the GreenviIle Neus,
has discovered new mine of wealth
in au apparently harmless bill:
''Onr Legislators have fallen upon q
scheme, however, which can be made
TO operate heretofore to fill their
pockets annually. THE is the bill to
regulate the pay Of members of the
General Assembly, which is veritable
wolf in sleeps clothing. 1t gives TO
members such per diem and compen-
satlon hereafter, while convened in
regular session, as will amount TO $500,
and no more, for the whole session ;
and for any special session the same
per diem as WAS allowed for the next
preceding regular session. That is, if
Il regular session shoud last 100 days,
the per diem for that session would be
sc. and if special should be held that
year. the per diem of suoh special ses-
sion would also be &C. II the regular
session should last only fifty days, the
per diem would be $l2, both for the
regular and extra session. There is
scarcely limit to the amount the
members may pay themselves under
this bill by shortening the regular ses-
sions and neglecting important legisla.
ton, suoh as the annual tax Act or ap-
preparation ACT. and thus making it
necessary to call extra sessions, which
they can prolong Indefinitely. Sup
pose, for instance, that regular ses.
sion should last only ten days, the
compensation of members under this
bill would be $50 day, which
would also be the oompenLation for
each day OF speoial session held at
any time before the next regular aes-
sion. If the extra session should last
six months, each member would re-.
oeive for that year, including both
sessions, 81, 400"

youth to extreme old age, it was to him
a religious duty fearlessIy to correct
all his own mistakes, and he WAS always
ready to receive from others and re-
produce that which he had not in him

crops are very sorry. Corn will make
