In our editorial correspondence from
Columbia, under date of December %, we
did Speaker Sheppard an injustice in
saying that he had violated every parlia-
mentary rule in appointing committee
of conference on the Appropriation Bill
who were not in accord with the House
in refusing to agree to the Senate amend
ments increasing the appropriations by
some thirty-fve thousand dollars. The
committee consisted of Messrs. John
stone, Simonton and Aldrich, and when
the conference met the House committee
agreed substantially to every amendment
made by the Senate. When the report
came in, Mr.. Sheppard stated that he
had been informed that he had appointed
a conference committee which was not in
sympathy with the action of the House,
upon which each member of the commit
tee stated that he had voted against some
one or more of the Senate amendments,
which placed them all in affinity with
the action of the House, and gave to the
Speaker the right to appoint them on
this committee without violating the re-
quirements of parliamentary law. The
selection of the committee was, however,
generally considered by the advocates of
reducing the Appropriation Bill as un-
fortunate, and as equivalent to yielding
the position of the House, as the gentle
men on the committee had throughout
the whole session, with the occasional
exception of Mr.. Aldrich, voted for the
larger appropriations. The result was,
therefore, fully predicted and expected
as soon as the committee was announced.
1t was an unfortunate selection for those
who were seeking to cut down the appro-
priations, but there was nothing in it to
reflect either upon the Speaker or the
gentlemen appointed, and we make this
correction in justice to all of the parties
concerned.

mingling and good-natured rough and
tumble jostling in the crowds about the
railroad stations in pushing, towards the
train. He expressed considerable sur
prise at seeing so much equality in ex-
istence. He said that all the indications
he had seen pointed to reunited coun-
try and the fading away of sectional feel
ings. He seemed to be convinced that
the Southern people are principally de-
voting themselves to the development OF
their own internal resources. At Colum
bia he remarked that he was the only
living ex-president, and the Judge re-
marked that he might not bear that title
a year from now. Gen. Grant said that
a year from now Mr.. Hayes would be
still President, and Judge Mackey said:
"Well, year and few months, may
be-" Justice Willard remarked that
Judge Mackey was playing on the words
eek" and "next" President, and Grant
said he understood, and seems to have
shut up Immediately and permanently.
Grant pointed to blackened chimney as
he entered the city and said. "Theres

seems to have talked at some length re-
garding the incidents of the war, speak
ing particularly of his interposition to
prevent the ethreatened arrest and prosecu-
ton of all Confederate Generals, of the
humane treatment of Lees army at APP
pomaLtox, and in preventing the des-
truction of private property by his army
in Virginia.
Ger. Grant asked if the Democratic
party was not divided in this State, and
the Judge says that he gave him very
emphatic assurances to the contrary.
He also developed an interest on the
subject of tissue ballots and said that
Hampton's denunciation of them was a
bold step and gratifcd him, and was
virtual admission of their use. 1t being
stated that the necessity for them existed
occasionally for the preservation of civil
ization he remarked, rather jocularly,
that he hoped that the necessity wouldn't
arise too frequently.

COLUMBIA, January Judge Mack
ey, who has come here to open court,
travelled from Chester to this city yester-
day in company with Gen. Grant, and
gives some interesting details of his con-
versation with him, and of incidents on
the road. He states that there were
crowds at all the depots along the route,
composed of both whites and blacks,
seeming chiefly to be attracted by Gu
riosity. Some little enthusiasm was
shown, and occasionally there was slight
cheering. Grant said that he discovered
no difference in his reception in the
South from what it was at the North,
and expressed qualification at the wei
come he had received, and the general
spirit manifested. He said, however,
that he attached no political significance
to the demonstrations of this section, but
attributed them to the kindly hospitality
of the people. He asked as to the condi-
ton of the negroes, and expressed his
conviction that they did not seem op-
pressed, estimating the degree of their
prosperity, at the suggestion of the Judge,
in proportion to the broadness of the grins
as the train passed. He also remarked
on the evident amiable relations between
the races and the mutual good will and
confidence evidenced in the general inter-

TIE ERRORS IN THE SUPPLY BILL.

Considerable commotion has been Gre
ated in some quarters by the discovery
that the Supply Bill was incorrectly en-
rolled, and so ratified and approved, con-
tanning the Senate's amendments to the
House bill, which were as follows: First,
State tax, A mills, instead of Al mills;
second, no tax to pay back indebtedness
of Marion County, and third, $4,000 for
the fourth Brigade of Charleston. These
first and third amendments were, on mo-
ton of Mr.. Murray, not agreed to, and
the second was, on motion of Mr.. Moody,
not agreed to. In this shape confer
ence Committee on the part of the two
Houses was appointed, consisting of
Messrs. John B. Cleveland, T. G. Moody
and W. @. Brown on part of the House,
and two Senators, who agreed to recede
from the Senate amendments, and the
report of this committee was adopted by
both Houses, so that the amendments
were stricken out. The bill was then, in the
Senate, ordered to be changed to an Act
and enrolled for ratification. This was
done, and the Committee on Enrolled Acts
reported itproperly enrolled and ready for
ratification, upon which the President of
the Senate and Speaker of the House, in
accordance with the rules, ratified the
the Act. 1t was then presented to the
Governor and approved by him, two days
after which it was discovered the Bill
had been ratified and approved in diff
ferent form from that in which it was
passed. This presents the question as to
whether the Act is valid or not, mas
much as it is not approved in the shape
in which it passed. Those who contend
for its validity claim that it is essenti-
ally the Bill as passed, and that the evi.
dences of its genuineness being its ratifi-
cation and approval are such as to give
it validity, although irregularities have
attended its enrolment, while those who
contend against it claim that it is no Act
at all, inasmuch as it did not pass the
Legislature in the way that it was ratified
and approved. The question has not
been discussed at very great length in
any of the papers, except the Register,
which desires an extra session of the
Legislature to correct the error. This
will hardly be called, however, for the
cost of bringing the Legislature together
would amount to nearly as much as the
additional tax, and if the session should
last ten days or two weeks it would
amount to considerably more than the
additional tax. The law will, therefore,
go upon the statute books and be enforc-
ed in its erroneous form, for it is cheaper
to do this than to assemble the Legisla-
ture to correct it.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1880-01-08

Our contemporary, the Columbia Regis
ter, appears to us to be devoting great
deal of valuable time and space to con-
demning the short session of the Legis-
lature, and as if to clinch its objections
it urges that the errors in the Supply Bill
are the result of the short session. Our
contemporary must know that however

5ior l,d becn six monias long the Sup
ply Bill woG.a nos 4a7e beea passed ur-
I'll the very last, and the errors VIII h have
occurred would nave been just as possible,
and to certain extent, as probable then as
in the session past. The trouble was not
in the length of the session, but in the
mistake of the Enrolling Committee of
the Senate. 1t is mistake, however,
that is cheaper to put up with than to
correct, and our esteemed contemporary
is allowing its prejudice against short
sessions to prevent its comprehending the
practical points at issue. The constitu-
tional question raised by the Register
does not apply to this Bill, for it was GER
tdnly read three times in each House.
By this we do not mean that all of its
provisions were read three times, for
some of them were not read but once in
the House of Representatives, being
adopted as amendments to the Bill on its
third reading. 1t cannot be contended
that on these grounds any bill would be
invalidated. The Bill to raise supplies
was read three times in each House, and
has become o law. There can be no
doubt that so much of it as is genuine is
q valid enactment, and then the question
would occur as to what is genuine and
what spurious. The whole has all of the
evidences of genuineness, and having
been ratified in the presence of both
Houses in its present shape, as matter
of law it may be held that their action is
concluded by this act, and that all of
the provisions now in the Bill which were
put into it as amendments by either House
and enrolled, were, in the ratification by
both Houses, concurred in, and by the
Governors approval became law. AT
least where an Act bears all of the evil
dences of validity, nothing short of the
Courts can declare it invalid; and under
the present circumstances we cannot i'm
agine that any citizen will invoke
the construction of the Courts in this
case, for such litigation would only be ex-
pensive, factious and burdensome to the
State. The best thing that can be done
is to 60 on and carry out the Supply Bill
without any more prumblinp.

It is now said that Mr.. Tilden realizes
that he cannot be the next President,
and is determined, also, that Senator
Bayard shall not be. If this be true, it
settles the question as to his nomination,
for the Democratic party cannot afford to
nominate any man who would be bitterly
fought by either wing of the New York
Democracy, for he would certainly be
defeated. We expect, however, that
there is nothing more definite than sus-
picion in this case, for Mr.. Tilden and
Senator Bayard have always been very
friendly, and it is not improbable that
Mr.. Tlden's influence will 60 to secure

The taxes for Anderson County during
the present year will be 81 mills, in
cluding everything. This is on the last
assessment, which is considerably below
the assessment of the year before, and,
therefore, the amount raised by the tax
this year will probably be equivalent to
what would have been raised by 9 mills
last year. This tax is to be paid in two
installments this year as it was last, with
penalty of five per cent. on the first
half if not paid.
