BnLsorTH BANK OF THE STATE.

Gne of the most important measures
before the late Legislature was the settle
ment of the bills of the Bank of the State
problem, aud the result1eached by them
was very satisfactory to the people Of the
State, and as liberal towards the holders
Of the bills as they could reasonably have
asked or expected. The act for settling
these bills provides for exchanging bonds
sof the State for them at,the rate Of fifty
cents on the dollar. This is the rate at
which the original bonded debt was set
tied under the consolidation act, and we
can see no just reason Why the holders Of
these bills should receive anything more
for them than the bendholders received
for their debts due them by the State.
It is known also that the amount of these
bills outstanding is very large, and that
in one way and another very large frauds
have been committed in reference to
them, and the State in paying fifty cents
on the dollar for them will be paying a
very large sum for very small conside-
ration. This is as liberal an offer as the
State can afford, aud Jet the recent col
lection Of taxes develops the fact that it
will not be accepted by many of the
largest billholders in the State, who are
attempting to pay their taxes in them,
under the decree obtained in their favor
several years ago from the Supreme Court
of the United States. This action will
doubtless lead to prolonged litigation,
for. tie State cannot afford to receive
these bills for taxes. The rate of taxa
.tion to meet them in the next few years
would amount TO very nearly as much as
s It ever was under Radicalism, and would
bear most heavily upon tho smaller: tax
payers who could not use these bills in
paying their ts4es, while the large tax

Death from Hydrophobia.

SPARTANBURG, s. c., June %, 1876.
Our community was thoroughly excl
ted over the report of q 'sure enough"
case of hydrophobia. The unfortunate
victim of this fearful calamity was w.
]. Pool, better known as CASA" Pool,
who lived about four miles from town.
He was bitten by mad dog some two
months ago, while in his field at work,
and some apprehensions have been felt
ever since as to the probable result, and
which eliminated yesterday in the ter
rible death of the stricken man. On
the day before yesterday DR.. Russell was
called in to see Pool, who began to feel
that something was wrong and whose
symptoms were manifestly those described
in the books as hydrophobia. Yesterday
the symptoms were more strongly devel-
oped and nearly all the physicians in
town went to see Pool as well as good
many citizens. I returned last night
thoroughly convinced that the victim
would die in few hours, and we learn
this morning that he died abont o'clock
last night. During his spasm Pool did
not seem to be vicious, but rather fright
ened and solicitous of help from those
around him, and talked rational up to
late in the afternoon. He said he was in
no pain, but when the spasms came on
he seemed to experience smothering
sensation, and he went about the yard
with dipper of water in his hand, and
would say II want this water, but can't
drink it." Late in the afternoon he
seemed to grow much worse and went
wild, and ran as fast as he could for
about hundred yards, and forcibly
brought back and confined in smoke
house, when be became so furious that
he had to be tied with sheets. He foam
ed at the mouth and was raving mad up
to the. moment of his deatl} as stared

The Necs and Courier has contributed
much to the cause of truth and justice
by the exposure of the revenue rascali-
ties and expressions in the upper couu-
ties of this State. The articles from it's
efficient and faithful correspondent which
appear elsewhere, and those which are
to follow, will go far to convince the
world that the resistance to revenue Off
Gers in these Counties has not been with
out cause or proyocation, and will show
that the people of the disturbed Counties
have been more ahmed against than
SHINING. Our contemporary deserves the
well-done of every Carolinian for this
patriotic enterprise on its part in the in
terest of truth.

Hon. Alexander II. Stephens has
spoken in Augusta since Congress has
adjourned. He claims that he was
right, md the balance of the Democrats
in Congress were wrong on the presiden-
tial investigation resolution, and reiter-
ates his assertion that he will appeal 10
the Republicans of the eighth congress
ional district of Georgia to give him a
certificate that he is true Democrat, ii
the Democratic convention nominates
some one else for Congress in his stead.

and lived with his father, Col. R. G. Pool,
having no family of his own. All who
visited Pool seem to be profoundly i'm
pressed with the terrible malady of which
he died, and when they relate the scenes
and incidents of the occasion they seem
to feel a sense of horror, and end by
saying ~ cant describe it" Several
in the county have been bitten by dogs
supposed to be rabid, and this case of
Pools will doubtless give great deal
of uneasiness to other parties.-Corres-

THE NEXT CONGRESS.

The Republicans are making their most
strenuous efforts to secure the next House
of Representatives, with view of con-
trolling the next presidency by throwing
the election into the House of Represen-
tatives, and as this object has become so
apparent speculations upon the result of
the congressional elections this fall are
becoming quite common, and are not
uninteresting. The leading journals of
the United States concede that the Dem
ocrats will have majority in the next
House of Representatives, and the ma
jority is estimated variously from twenty
to sixty. The present majority is twelve,
SO that if the Democrats retain what they
have, and make the expected gain in
Ohio and Missouri, the majority will be
at least thirty-four. But we are sure to
gain some in South Carolina, and per.
haps in New York, Pennsylvania, Illi-
nois and Wisconsin. 1t would, We think,
be pretty safe to assume that with the
exposures of the presidential frauds, the
navy frauds and the general course pur-
sued by the Republicans, we can easily
secure a majority of forty in the next
House of Representatives; but for the
purpose of electing President, in case
of lack Of any candidate with a major
itys6f all the votes cast. it will be neces-
sary to have majority of the States
Democratic, as each State casts one vote.
Specializing on this contingency the New
York Sun classes the Democratic pros
poets by States as follows:
Observation-Disclosures, Arkansas, Con-
uecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missis-
sippi, Missouri, New Jersey, North Car
olina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Vir-
ginia-twenty States.
Colorado, Illinois, Indi-
hud, 1OWdJ hduonoj IholuO, hooooSauSCetoj
Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada,
New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylya-
MIA, Rhode Island, Vermont, Wisconsin
States.
Divided-California.
This calculation allows the Repybli-
cans to hold every State in which they
now have majority Of Republican Con-
gressmen, except South Carolina and
Ohio, and is therefore very safe calcu-
lation for the Democrats to make. The
States of New York, Pennsylvania, Hi.
nois, Wisconsin and Indiana are as likely
to be Democratic as Republican, and
there is very little prospect that the Re-
publicans will carry more than half of
them. The next Congress may be safely
counted Democratic in both branches,
and with it the Democrats will certainly
elect and inaugurate their President after
Mr.. Hayes usurpation ends.

In speech before the late Republican
Convention of Ohio, held in the city of
Cincinnati, Hon. B. Eggleston said !:
"Grant will be nominated in this hall in
1880, and what is more, will be our next
President" This called forth inordinate
applause from the members of the con-
vention, and has been re-echoed over the
whole land. IF Grant is to be the Re-
publican nominee for the next presiden-
cy, it gives an additional inducement to
the Democracy of the South to remain
solid to secure his defeat. From Grant
the South has never received anything
like considerate treatment. He has
scourged US with infamous and corrupt
officials. His reelection to the presi-
dency would destroy our government,
