No account has been taken of the interest
on the public debt, Ms In both years n sum
sufficient was Appropriated. In salaries the
reduction is marked. The saving there Is
over SO,NO. There Is an increase In the con-
tingent funds, consequent upon the unsettled
condition OF the government earlier In the
year, INC the necessity Of providing for the
expenses OF litigation In the Attorney Cen
erals Office. The public institutions have
enough for their actual wants, and no more.
The Deaf and Dumb Asylum Is provided for !;
and so Is the interest on the State bonds pur-
chased with funds belonging to the Agricul-
tural College. For the University and the
Normal School only enough money was APP
propriated to keep the buildings in order.
These elecmosynary, rather than educntiOn-
al, institutions will be thoroughly %reorsuni-
Zed next winter. The public schools get
800, 900, and the poll tax. which Is expected
to realize 100000 more. The s2O,OOO will be
operation until October, in counties where
the schools have incurred no Indebtedness.
For public printing the appropriation is re-
duced to $1,000. Not long ago the amount
paid out, In one year, for printing was over
$500, 0OO. The expenses of the General Assem-
bly, are reduced from Sl4n, 900 to Sl06, 800, and
the reduction would have been greater but
for the ~tenacity OF the higl-priccd Senators.
Figures are deeply interesting to tax payers
when they show how the public money has
been saved; and by such figures the people
judge of the fidelity of their servants. The
Democracy have made a cheering beginning
and they will gather encouragement to re-
trench still further while comforting with
their constituents this sunllncr.-Ncus md

The Right to Distrain for Rent.

The re-enactment of the old law giving
the landlord the right to distrain for rent
we believe to be unjust. Wetake 1t there Is
about as much obligation to pay one debt
as another. For instance, If a landlord
rents land to a tenant and the merchant
furnishes him food to make the crop, is
there any justice in allowing the land
lord to take possession of the whole pro-
cceds, leaving tho merchant who furnish
ed as necessary a commodity to mako the
crop as the landlord may have furnished.
The law rs it now stands, we believe to
be unconstitutional. Certain exemp-
tons are guaranteed by that instrument
to the poor man, which the distrain law
does not respect.

Another Democratic Victory.

We from the innermost depths Of
our heart congratulate the First Circuit
and the County of Richland on their re-
cent good fortune-the first upon being
relieved of an Objectionable Solicitor and
the latter upon her glorious triumph in
electing Crawford to the Office of Pro-
bate Judge, over his opponent Warren R.
Marshall, formerly the Reading Clerk OF
the Mackey House, by a majority of 1876
votes. Well done Richland. Let the
Democrats stand together solidly and
they can root out the dirty white Radi-
calls from every County in the State. We
are determined to hold the fort in Able
Vile, even if we have to insult every
white Radical in the County.

The Charleston Election.

Yesterday an election was held for sew
enteen Representatives in the lower
house of the General Assembly. The
whole up-country prays for Charleston's
safe de%liverance from the hands Of the
despoilers who have 80 long run riot over
the peoples rights. Charleston is now
the most important stronghold Of the
Radicals, and If the Charlestonians can
only rise in their might and remove the
corrupt crew that have so nearly ruined
Cardinals fairest city, there will go up a
grand shout of Joy from every hamlet in
the State. We believe that Charleston
will do her duty.

Editor of Press and Banner:

Editor of Press and Banner:
DEAR SIR-You have about conclu-
ded. I believe, my acknowledgements
of your locality during a residence OF
over sixteen years, including the best
and happiest days Of my life, put in
shape aud sent you during the last
Spring and Summertime dealing out
has been your work, not mine. They
were, as you know, all written within
a short space Of time +; begun by acct
dent and prolonged by request. What
was intended to embrace only a few
humorous incidents to amuse, soon as
sumed the proportions of including
grave persons and subjects-beginning
in u song, ended somewhat in a SER
mon. I al say of what has been
written. that naught has been set down
in malice, and strict regard to truth In
substance and detail, as I knew or had
reason to believe it, has been adhered
to. I hope that 1 have given none
pain or offense. If my reminisce noes
have afforded my old friends-none of
whom I may ever meet again, and
at most, only q few, in this life-any
amusement or interest, to break
the monotony and gloom of finan-
cial depression and political mis-
rule, I am fully repaid for ransack-
ing the w~aste-basket of memory and
giving them, to q limited extent the
result. The labor has been small and
the exercise a recreation.
The past Is always the Golden Age
to every people, and especially now,
in view Of the extraordinary changes
from that of the past, which has been
my subject. The incidents and per-
mentioned were not without mark
and interest at the times; but the
charm, If any, is mostly in the truth
30 well expressed in borrowed verse
IT'S distance lends enchantment to tho
view,
And robes the mountain in It's azure hue.
I may, at some time, add a few 9TH
ers that may come to mind and GER
will, If leisure and humor
join hands, give some Alabama dots"
obtained in a pleasant residence Of
twenty-seven years.
OF yours and others, truly,
Ex-ABBEvILLIAN, OF OVER 40 YEARS.

There was talk OF his taking this step

has been steadily dissuaded by his
physicians from leaving the Roman

declares that "the State Of Georgia shall
ever remain member Of the American
Union; the people therefore are part Of
the American nation; every citizen there.
oil holds paramount allegiance, to the Con.
stitution and Government Of the United
States" This action Is left out OF the

fees her inieriority to that Government.
