THE CALLED SESSION.

Governor Hampton having called the
Legislature together on the oath instant,
will no doubt suggest such subjects for
legislation as demand immediate atten-
ton. And only such, in our judgment,
should engage the attention of our legis-
lators at the extra session. In addition
to general tax bill, which, of course, will
claim Immediate attention, the Legisla-
ture should consider such measures as,
in their practical operation, will afford
some relief to the people financially.
The pressure upon the agricultural class
of our population has never before been
equalled in the history of our State.
What with bad government, and bad
cropping, and high taxes, the landed in
terest, laborers and employees, are in a
most deplorable condition. As this is
the leading interest of our people, of
course any extreme pressure there will
be felt throughout the body polite.
Whatever can be done by legislation to
relieve this prostration should be prompt
ly done. The first practical measure that
looms up before the people as promising
direct and immediate relief, is the resto-
ration of the old usury law. And this
law should be searching in its details so
rs to prevent evasion. The present rates
of interest are absolutely ruinous to the
farming, mechanical and mercantile in
terests. All the business interests, not
only of this State, but of the whole
country has been brought under bondage
to the monied power of the country by
corrupt legislation, and since under the
new regime, just inaugurated in this
State, we expect better things, let the ex-
ira session take the initial in this much
much needed reform.
There are other matters ofreform which
should claim the earnest attention of our
Legislature at the next regular session ;
such as the abrogation of useless Offices,
the reduction of salaries generally, the
reduction of fees and Court costs to at
least q reasonable amount. The writer
happens to know from sad experience
that in the matter of the collection of q
small debt of about $3.50 dollars, without
! any litigation whatever, that the bill Of
costs were simply outrageous. So char
acterized by the lawyer who had the case
in charge. The people expect reform,
| not in word but in deed and truth. We
think, however, that there should be as
little legislation as possible at the extra
session, leaving all questions in abeyaace
till the regular session, that can be post.
poned without detriment to the public
interests. The tax bill should not con-
template any further collections from the
people at the present time than the
twenty-five per cent. called for by the
Constitutional House Of Representatives
last winter. Next fall change should
be made by which the people will have
from November till March to pay taxes

THE USURY LAW.

We do not think it prudent for the
present session of the Legislature to act
upon the question of rate of interest;
for the passage of usury law, even if it
dated in the future, would occasion
great hardship and loss to the people
who have borrowed money, for, in all
probability, loans would at once be called
in by capitalists, who would wish to make
investments in stocks, bonds, &c. Next
fall will be soon enough to agitate this
subject. Then debtors will be able to
make new arrangements if necessary.
They could not do so now.

THE RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE.

The Newberry Herald favors the re-
quirement of poll tax as prerequisite
to suffrage. We are opposed to any re-
striction to the right to vote except on
account of crime. We believe the man
whose life and liberty, and that of his
family, depends upon the character of the
government under which he lives, ought
to have the right to vote for his rulers.
His rights are as dear to him as the rig hts
of wealthy man are to him, and should
not be abridged on account of poverty.
The question of any amendment to the
clause of the Constitution, which guar
antees universal suffrage, should not be
thought of, much less discussed.

COLUMBIA, S. c., April 25, 1877.
The proceedings of the Senate yester-
day were interesting and important. Ex-
Lieutenant Governor Gleaves surrender
ed his place yesterday after stating his
position. Swails, the pro tenn of the Sen
ate, took the gavel and occupied the
chair of the presiding officer. The fight
began by Nash moving to require Lieu
tenant-Governor Simpson to take the
oath of Office anew. A committee escort
ed Simpson to the desk, and he made an
explanatory statement, i'll which he de-
clared positively his resolve never to
stultify himself by taking the oath of
Office again. This disconnected the Rad
icals, and finally Simpson gained the
victory over them and occupied the chair,
taking possession of the gavel. He an
nounced the Senate ready for business,
when it was announced that Senators
from Abbeville, Edgefeld, Laurens and
Barnwell were present and ready to
qualify. The Radicals fought hard to
prevent this, but under Simpsons rulings
they had to succumb to the inevitable,
and Senators Maxwell, Gary, Todd and
Counts were sworn.
The House met at noon yesterday, and
after calling the roll as it stood in De-
cember last adjourned. This threw con-
sternation among the Radicals. Nearly
all of the Republicans who were elected
members were present and expected to
be sworn in. They will not find easy
access. 1t is rumored that several Sena-
tors will find difficulty in retaining their
seats in consequence of holding other
Offices, such as Presidential electors and
others. The Democrats are confident
and jubilant over the situation. They
will stand together solidly and defeat the
schemes of the enemy. Willard and
MCGOWAN are the most prominent can
didates for Chief Justice, with the
chances in favor of Willard.
Louisiana is entirely redeemed. Mich
oils is fully in possession. Judge Spof-
ford was elected United States Senator
yesterday.

The Order to Remove the Troops from
the State House in Louisiana.
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 90.


SIR--Prior to my enteting upon the
duties of t.. Presidency there had been
stationed, by the order of my predecessor,
in the Immediate vicinity Of the building
used x State House in New Orleans,
La, and known as the Mechanics lnsti-
tute, q detachment of United States in
fantry. Finding them in that place l
have thought proper to delay decision
of the question of their removal until l
could determine whether the condition of
affairs was such as to either require or
Justify continued military Intervention of
the national government in the affairs of
the State. In my opinion there does not
now exist in Louisiana such domestic
violence as is contemplated by the consti-
tuition as the ground upon which the
military power of the national govern
ment may be invoked for the defense Of
the State. The disputes which exist as
to the right of certain claimants to the
chief executive Office of that State are to
be settled and determined not by the
Executive of the United States, but by
such orderly and peaceful methods as
may be provided by the constltutlon ana
laws of the State. Having the assurance
that no resort to riolence is contemplated,
that, on the contrary, the disputes in
question are to be settled by peaceful
methods, under and in accordance with
law, deem it proper to lake action in
accordance with the principles announced
whena I entered upon the duties of the
Presidency. You are, therefore, directed
to see that the proper orders are issued
for the removal Of said troops at an early
date from the present position to such
regular barracks in the vicinity as may
be selected for their occupation.

of individual or separate action, and when
it comes to the selection Of Chief JUS
tice, it will be necessary to stand together
as one man. A caucus can and will de-
eide as to the choice of the Democrats,
and all differences of opinion as to the
proper man upon whom to unite will be
settled by its action. We have advocated
the election of an eminent Republican,
from motives of principle and policy, but
we would not be willing to gain the elec-
ton of Mr.. Willard except through the
unanimous voice of the Democracy.
Such expression would convey deeper
meaning, too, if it was decided in caucus
to elect man not belonging to our ranks,
solely by reason of his fitness and capac-
ity for the position. The distinguished
gentlemen who are suggested as Demo-
Gratis will cheerfully abide the decision
of the caucus, and not one of them can
be tempted by the alluring offers OF sup
port from recalcitrant and intriguing pol
iticians of the Republican stamp. Hence,
as we have already said, the pestiferous
designs of Melton and Carpenter will
come to naught, and if the Democrats are
constantly on guard against their plausi-
BILE plans and palpable purposes, there
will be no danger. The maintenance of
party organization and party discipline
will enable our friends, both in and out
of the Legislature, to meet these adroit
wire-pullers at every step, and relegate
them to that political coventry from
which they arc now seeking to emerge.
