legislative NoGes.

In the House of Representatives, on
Tuesday morning, Paris Simkins (colored)
rose to q question Of privilege, and re.
ferred to an article in the Charleston
Mesrs and Courier, headed Nine Radical
Rascals, which stigmatized the nine Re.
publican members Of the ways and
means committee as tho leading corrup.
tionists Of tho present session. He was
one of the number 50 designated, and
offered resolution that Mr.. J. r. Black.
man, the reporter for the Nevs and Co,i-
,sr, be expelled from the House. Les
lie, Whippsr and others sustained there's.
olution, which was adopted-the Conser-
Yatives voting nay.
Senator Cochran has introduced bill
to prevent public executions in this State.
This is desirable change In our law and
we hope it will be effected. Nothing
demoralizes public sentiment more than
public execution. 1t tends rather to
harden persons in crime than to deter
from it. 1
The House OF Representatives have re-
quested the Governor 10 make special
communication to that body, setting forth
the facts and circumstances which led the
Financial Board to increase the State de-
posits IN the Hardy Solomon Bank.

Call for a Taxpayers Convention.
CAMDEN, Nov, q, 1878.

To the Iuz.payers Of South Carolina:
In accordance with the requirements Of
the constitution, delegates from major
ity of the County Unions met in Colum-
bia. on the Esd of this month but a ma
jority of members not being presenttt was
deemed inexpedient to do more than in
vite the taxpayers generally to another
meeting. This was done by the passage
of the following resolution:
ResolDed, That the State Tax Union
does hereby call upon the Counties in the
State TO select delegates from each Coun-
ty, in numbers according to its represen-
tafion in the lower house of the General
Assembly, to be assembled in general
convention, in Columbia, on the second
Tuesday in December, at p. M, for the
purpose Of urging that the Legislature
adopt the recommendations contained in
the veto message of the Governor, and to
consider any matters touching the gener-
al welfare of the State.
Subjects Of great moment demand your
attention, and the time indicated Is
thought to be auspicious for convention
coming fresh from the people, and in
numbers sufficient to speak with author
ityi. We trust, therefore, that you will
respond promptly to this call by sending
full number of delegates.

President, &C., &c.

Columbia Correspondence.


DEAR EDITORS: The Legislature has
been running along quite smoothly since
it convened, with few exceptions, and
has showed a decided inclination to work.
Many, great many, bills have been in
troduced, and some of them acted upon.
The majority of them, however, have
made simple changes in the statutes as
they now stand, and but few propose
anything new. think there have been
some ton or fifteen notices OF bills to re-
peal the Lien Law, and fully as many
proposing amendments thereto. They
will all end in smoke, though, as they
did last year, unless change comes over
the negro members. They have great
faith in Its pr DIVISIONS.
The "placid tranquility" Of the House
was rudely broken by the introduction
OF an admirable bill making it "a misde-
meanor for any party to buy loose or
seed cotton from any one except the
owner thereof, or his authorized agent"
The wrath OF the sable solons was in
simultaneously aroused, and such speech
es! Well, you nevor heard the like.
Some vowed 1t was Democratic trick /;
others Tax Union swindle, while others
thought it was direct thrust at the LibeT-
ties of the colored people. Some went SO
far as to say that if any colored man
were to buy or sell one pound Of cotton
In the upper Counties, he would be i'm
mediately taken up and imprisoned atn-
der pretenee Of violating this act. A
white Republican, named Brayton, from
Aiken, introduced the bill and supported
it, and one colored man assisted him,
but 1t was ignominiously voted down,

GENrLEMEN-Your letter Of invitation
of the lOth ultimo, addressed to L'r. w.
Morrow, President of the Knoxville q
Charleston Railroad, Nashville, Tenn,
was placed In my hands few days since,
with the request that should attend the
mass meeting convoked at Anderson, 8.
c.. on next Monday, in the interests of
the revival of the Blue Ridge Road.
When this solicitation met me, I hoped
to be able to attend, but now find that
the supervention of more imperative du-
ties absolutely deny to me the fulflLment
of this most ardent desire.
Allow me, however, to say TO youl
gentlemen, and to the mass meeting, on
behalf the Knoxville & Charleston Rail-
road Company, that we give our earnest
syinpathies and wishes to your meeting
and its great purposes; and that the
Knoxville & Charleston Railroad Compa-
nv, as it is now organized, has ample
means to complete the Road from its
present terminus at Maryville, Tennes-
see, to the State line of Tennessee In your
direction, and will do so whenever the
Blue Ridge Road shall be extended to
that line. Let the friends Of this great
enterprise in the Carolinas and In Geor-
gia push forward to the Tennessee bor-
der, they shall find us there, ready with
our iron links to grapple them to us in
indissoluble brotherhood.
