LETTER FROM BIG HOLLOW.

APrii ~, iofi.. !,
NIr. EnIroE ~ ain slni to see that you have
woke up a correspondent in the dark corner of
North PGcolet. BY the way, that Nerfh Pacolet
region used to be one of the best farming re-
gions of the County. They grew about all their
provisions, went very little in debt and had
money to lend. Antc Jciium, no part of the
County stood higher
1t is very strange to me that you should find
it so hard to get correspondents in any part of
the County where you have mail facilities
: What is the use cf keeping up q County paper
unless you can get the County news? Horace
Greedy built up the TribRns 10y his corrcspon-
dents. The news from all parts of the country.
conveying all sorts Of information, was always
acceptable. Nor is this all. If you want the
County filed up by settlers the best way to do
ii is to bring out in the papers every nook and
corner of tits advantages and resources, &C.
If man don't blow his own horn nova days
he will be sure to be left out in the cold.
We arc going ahead in Big Hollow, now that
the Troops arc sent to their barracks, and ex-
pcct to be happy and prosperous under Hamp-
ton and Home Rule--fcwcr Offices and lighter
taxes. '"IIoopEE!

prospective Legislation for South Carolina---A
Hopeful PROSPECT.

"AsIIINGToN, April 1.-Gov. Hampton in
conversation last night, said that he would To-
turn nome tu uIuIrUw uTght, [Nionday;J That on
his arrival at Columbia on Wednesday next hc
would issue his proclamation notifying the pco-
pie of South Carolina of the pcaccable adjust
mcnt OF all difficulties, and that he would call
the Legislature together on the 9th of April
In his message to the Legislature he will rccom-
mend the passage Of u general tax bill. Gov
crnor Hampton also expressed his determination
to have such financial legislation adopted as will
restore the credit oil the State. ~No interest was
paid on the funded debt last year. Another six
months interest will be due on the lst of July
next, Governor Hampton says he will take
measures to have this paid, and the unpaid in
tcreSt OF 1876 will be funded. Owing to the
nanipulntions of Chamberlain and his gang of
rlundcrtrs ii is impossible To estimate with any
approach To correctness what the funded debt Of
the State is and Governor Hampton will send n
commission to New York to confer with the
holders of the State bonds on the subject His
intention is 10 provide hereafter for the regular
payment of the interest OH the State debt, and
to establish n sinking fund for its ultimate cx-
tinctiun.
Governor Hampton will also recommend to
his Legislature TO enact certain necessary cduca-
iional measures. The present school system of
South Carolina is very good one, but not much
has been acco;. plisaed under it, because the
arpct-baggcrs have stolen most Of the school
fund Governor Hampton says he shall urge q
thorough educational system Of both races lie
tavors liberal legislation To promote the matcrial
industries Of the State. lie says the most rig
orous remedies will be usel to break up the Off
cial pecuation which has prevailed so long un-
der the rule of the carpet baegcrs. lie says
shat he has appointed and will still continue to
appoint tho colored men 10 Office whenever the
best interest of the State warrant it. lie will
do what he can TO discourage idlcness and en-
courage honest labor. lie don't believe in men
lounging around taverns, cutting sticks drink
ing whskcy and bemoaning their bad luck when
they should he at work, and this applies just as
much to the white man as to the black man.
Governor Hampton says that he now looks con-
h!ently to the day when the bonds of South
Carolina will command n premium. lie thinks
the time will soon come when it will be more
difficult to find man with pistol or bowie
knife in South Caralna than in the streets Of
any OF the large Northern cities Baltimore SIM
