DOES NOT THE proposition to fund
the floating indebtedness of tho State
conflict with the constitutional
amendment providing that the public
debt shall not be increased except
by q two-thirds vote of the people
It may bo argued that tho debt has
already been incurred and that the
Legislature is merely putting it in
shape. But under such an inter
probation of the law, cannot the
mandates of the constitution be
always circumvonted! It will be
only necessary at any time to make
appropriations in excess of the
amount collected by taxation, and
then to fund this floating indebted-
ness afterwards. In this way the
bonded debt may be increased ad
tasfinitun, without ever appealing to
the votes. We would be glad to
hear an opinion from some one
better informed than ourselves.
The news and herald. (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1877-1900, 1878-03-12

is much the easier problem to solve.
Of course an appeal rests to the
State Supreme Court, and thence to
the Supreme Court of the United
States. The press of business
before the latter body will delay u
decision for two or three years and
in the mean time the vexed question
will be suffered TO be dormant. We
are glad to be rid of it.

The Public Debt.

It is cause for congratulation
that the Legislature has effected a
compromise on the question of the
public debt; tho more especially as
t debate was becoming very
heated, and considerable temper
was beginning to be evolved. The
compromise was effected not until
repeated conferences between COM
mittoes of the two wings had been
held. The following are the terms
of tho compromise:
I. That all tho consols resting
upon vouchers reported upon by
tho Bond Commission as valid be
recognized by this General Assem-
bly, as such, and sufficient tax be
levied and appropriated for the
payment Of the interest coupons on
the same, falling due this fiscal
year.
II. All other consols resting upon
vouchers reported upon ty the
Bond Commission "as not Issued in
accordance with law, and authoriz-
cd to be consolidated by the Act of
the 22d of December, 1873" and all
consols resting upon vouchers re-
ported upon "as not having been
issued in accordance with law" be
referred to special court, to con-
sist of three of the circuit Judges of
the State, to be nominated by the
Democratic caucus, and elected by
the General Assembly, to decide
upon tho validity of each of the
several kinds Of bonds enumerated
in said report under the above
classes.
III. That tho attorney general
be assisted on the part of the State
by two attorneys, to be nominated
by tho Democratic caucus and
elected by the General Assembly.
~. That tho floating indebted
ness, including the bills of the
Bank of tho State and the con-
tingent liabilities of the State whom
due, be funded in six per cont.
coupon bonds at the rate of fifty
per centum of their face value, aftor
they have been examined by COM
mission to bo elected by the Gen oral
Assembly and boen reported upon
rs valid claims against the State.
Y. That no more consols be
issued under the Funding Act,
based on vouchers aftor the date of
the adoption of the constitution,
until the vouchers upon which they
are to rest aro examined by COM
EMISSION to be elected by the General
Assembly, and She sumo have tsen
reported upon as valid by said com
mission.
From this it is not plain whethe,
the court is to pass merely on tho
question whether the Consolidation
Act is binding contract; O,
whether the conrt shall 20 furthe,
and decide whether tho origina
bonds for which the consols were
exchanged were legal The forme,

The PENErnArrNa WINDS incident

The PENETRATING WINDS incident
to this season Of the year are o
severe ordeal for the lungs. Tho
neglect of hard cough generally
leads to weakness of the lungs,
which, not infrequenuy, results in
Consumption.
SoHENcK's PULMoN1C SYRUP will ut
once relieve and loosen tight
cough and is such an agreeable
remedy that children will take it
without being coaxed. A cold on
the lungs, if consumption is not
already developed, may be- easily
mastered by the use of the Pulmonic
Syrup, together with Schenck's S
Mandrake Pills to clear the syst tenn
Of the accumulated mucus.
In more serious cases, where the
disease has become deeply seated,
and the patient suffers from loss of
appetite, weakness and emaciation,
Schencks Sea Weed Tonic should
be used in connection with the
above mentioned remedies, to stimu-
late the appetite and bring the
digestive powers into healthy action
thereby sustaining the strength of
the patient and enabling him to
resist the progress of the disease
until the Pulmonic Syrup may per
form it's healing and cleansing
work.
The use of these standard rene
dies according to tho directions
which accompany them, cannot fail
to produce most satisfactory re-
suits. A letter addressed to DR..
Schneck Corner of Sixth and Arch
SITS, Philadelphia, asking advice,
will promptly receive the Doctors
