& we We sincerely hope that the Legislature
SwitL close with the opportunity that Is now
offered it OF. removing the yexed question
thepubiic debt fromthe arena OF politics.
There is no computation OF the amount OF
slamage the Commonwealth and its citizens
have suffered, in the injury Of credit, in the
naralysisiof energy, in the growth OF bad
temper and depression, and in the loss OF
BUSINESS; since the idea ofevadtng the terms
Of the funding bill settlement first unfortu-
|,nately entered the public mind. IL any
chance offers to remove the whole matter
from the licthought, so that people can
devote themselves earnestly to more practl-
caland paying occupations, it ought TO De
eagerly seized and Immediately improved

lwho looks to the needs or the people, ana
not to the. personal ambition OF. h!mseH or

sidered, discussed, and disposed OF, WIFE
reference to the rights OF the creditors and
1.-The interests of the public; leaving out OF
Thought entirely how this, that, or the other

by the issue of events. AS the DaSpdtch

The Work Of the Legislature al
it's Recent Session.

EDIToRs KEowEE COURIER: With your pcr-
mission, will say something to tho readers
OF the COURIER respecting tho Genoral As
sembly and its work during tho session which
has Just closed.
Coutrastcd with former Legislatures since
tho war, the change was very striking and
agreeable. The faces Of Nash, Swails, Smalls,
Whittcmorc and othor leaders of the "robber
band" which plunderod our State for eight
long years. wero no longer to DO seon in tho
Senate and tho seats lately occupied by tho
"Santeo Orator." "RingstaiIed Roarer" and
tho loug roll of would DO statesmen of African
dcscent, wcro filled by true and worthy rop.
resentativos of tho pooplo Of South Carolina.
Tho body is nearly Democratic, thoro being
only fivo Republicans in tho Senate and only
three in the House Of Representatives. Ip-
nornnce has given wny to intelligence, pas,
sion and prejudice to reason. which will
assuredly continue to hold tho reins Of govern.
ment until another great revolution occurs.
OF the many measures whish claimed tho
consideration of the Legislature, will mon
tlon only few Of the most important. The
subject Of the public debt Of our State was

The Weather

Continues bitter cold. For threo weeks
The roads, the folds and everything liable to
freeze have boon rs solid rs granite. We
doubt if our older oitizcns can remember such
long deep, still freeze as now prevails. Il,
is true we have had colder brashes, MS tho
cold Saturday, but they generally lasted only
few days. Tho branches about Walhalla
are frozen over, in the crooks the ice roaches
out from each bank near to the central current
while the mill ponds are frozen moro than
an inch thick. a passenger on tho Air Line
Road last Monday stated to us tho Tuguloo
was frozen over from bank t, bank ut the
crossing, and we suppose the Keowco in still
water is in like condition We can romcm
Der only two occasions in thirty years when
the Keowee frozo ovcr. No work can be done
except getting wood, and that from necessity
We look anxiously for a change, though we
know it will bring us mud and bad roads.
Anything is bottcr than to see tho rays Of
the sun struggling through u frozen atmos~
phere, and unable to make any impression
on the earth.

The Adger College.

We understand that some run,ors arc in
circulation in some sections of our county
to the effect that Adgcr College is declining,
and will likely have to suspend. and. further,
that the Prcsbytcrial Endowment Fund has
proved failure. 1t is peedless to correct
these reports, SO far az persons acquainted
with the condition of the college are con
cerned; for it is we'll known by the patrons
and friends Of tho institution that it is better
patronized and has brighter prospects for it's
age of any institution over started in the
South on private capital and energy. The
Collegiate department has been fuller this
year than last and the primary department
ie Us large as our present instructors in it can
we'll manage. 1t is true that scvcra! students
went homo during the holidays, without in
tending to return, but their withdrawal was
duo to financial difficulties or to some nnfore-
seen emergency calling them home, and not
to any dissatisfaction with the college.
While few have thus withdrawn, larger
number of new stndents have already entered
than has been lost. The college is prosper
GUS beyond the anticipation Of it's foundcrsa
and is giving satisfaction in every instance
in discipline, in instruction and in the prog~
ress of tho students. If any one will con-
sidor moment the stratcncd financial
condition of tho people Of this State, the
scarcity Of money and tho low price of farm
products, stock, Nc, no will DO amazed at
tho unprecedented patronage of this younz
and thriving institution. Where is the col~
logo dependent on private patronage which
does not feel tho stringcncy of tho tines?
Adgor College stands firm, will pay all her
dues and yet rso to be the pride and orna.
mont OF our county, dispensing its blessings
broad cast over the State in all departments
Of industrial and professional pursuits Our
people should not only feel prido in tho
college. bnt should sustain it or all occasions
with both moral and pecuniary aid. With
its bencfccnt influence wo predict that in
two years, our county will be primus inter
pares in the State. in agricultrrc and mechan-
ical knowledge and in moral and intellectual
force. Now, if erer it needs tho aid and
encouragement Of NIL Of our citizens and we
trust, this it will get As to the endowment,
1t has been raised and wo expect to see it
greatly enlarged in the next year. If this
fond had not been secured the Prosbytcry
would not have accepted the institution and
taken it under it's charge. This was done
last fall, when the Presbytcry met here, and
since that time the college has had no agonl
in tho field. During next vacation the work
of endowment will 90 on, and in few years
We expect to SEQ the college firmly secured by
endowment and an imposing building erected
1t is worthy of patronage and will command
1t. 1t merits success and will win il. Nav

EDlroRs KEowEE COURIER: In accordance
with an application by Hon. L. 6. Clemson,
of Fort Hill, to Prof Spencer +. Baird, of the
Smithsonian Institute. Commissioner of Fish
and Fisheries of the United States. on tho 18th
June last, and Of which your readers are
already advised, A largo shipment of tho
pink Of tho salmonidp variety was made on
the 2Gth ult. for stocking tho Seneca River.
Mr. G. was notified Of the fact by telegram
+. NJ. Taylor proceed to Seneca City and
receive them from the hands of tho messenger
in charge. After very cold and tedious
drive on the night Of the 9th. these gontlo
mon arrived in ample time for tho express
train next morning and conveyed thcm to the
stream designated, near Fort Hill Bridge and
there deposited, with due ceremony, in
presence of tho distinguished scientist and
bencfactor, already named. and others.
The minn0ws wero received in thrco largo
copper tanks, devised for tho purpose. and
were in good condilion--but two Of which
one was somewhat mutllatel.
1t is understood tho shipments recoi ved arc
but q email number of those expected and
othcr varieties will bo introduced at proner
seasons.
Your correspondent deems it proper to
mention with duo honor, the fact that Mr.. A.
w. Thompson recognized tho efforts of Messrs.
f. and Z. as for tho public gaod and kindly
assisted in the speedy doposting Of tho fish
by the loan of wagon and driver and in
other ways. We shall 500 to it that Mr.. r.
shall bc one Of tho first to enjoy string Of
this delightful fish. However, it is not tho
moro compliment (alboit it is justly due to
tho gentlemen spoken oO that is tho object OF
this communication, but simply to inform tho
public of the groat efforts and expense the
Government has incurred to rcstock our
depopulated streams: to remind them what
great pleasure il in store for them whom tn O
salmon have sufficiently propagated, and to
add gontle request to those who make a
habit Of spot fishing" to aparo them for at
least q couple Of years.

people will not complain when the work of tho
body is completed in twenty. nine days Be-
sides' there is now bill before the body, which
has been postponed to tho next session, and
which, il is believed, will pass, providing that
members to the Legislature shall be elected but
once in four years and that tho sessions of tho
Legislature shall be biennial. This will save q
great deal of expense and prevent that surfeit
OF legislation with which tho State has been
cursed for ten years. Our condition is improv-

wealth and prosperity.

Another Purely "Fiat' Case Of Republi-
can Bulldozipg.

Charges have been made of late, in a round
about manner, that certain Republicans prior
to the late election, had attempted to "put up
a job" as one Grecnbacker expressed it, on
one of the greenback speakers, by inducing his
landlady to collect her bill against him. The
speaker in question seems, from all accounts,
to have tried hard to act honorably. He had
been employed by the Greenback committee,
and they failed to pay his bill. No Republic
can influence was brought to bear on the lady,
and it would be we'll for those who made that
charge of Republican bulldozing, if they could
claim honestly that they were free from the
offence themselves. The only attempt that
was made by any one to make political mar
tyr out of the young man, was by Greenback-
ers, who wanted to make q little political
capital, and it is no more than just to say that
the gentleman himself did not seem to desire
that kind of notorety. The whole affair
boiled down is simply this: Greenbaclers, by
process of an arrest, have been compelled to do
Justice alike to the man they employed and
the lady who needed her pay, to pay debt
which the debtor desired in all honesty to set
tie, and this having been done, the street-cor
ner cries of fraud, % Oppression and "bull-
dozing3 falls into the thinnest kind of thin
air. Still, if desired, proof of an attempt at
Greenback intimidation can be produced, in a
court of justice. Make your charges definite,
and bring on your proof. Put up or shut up!

The indications are thai the fair will be q
very large and successful one. The entries
already made, both for the park and hall, are
larger than ever before at an equal length of
time previous to the opening. Already there
are 100 entries of cattle, 154 of horses, 125 of

under the tent, and 100 of trotting horses.
