- Tho South Carolina Legislature Is
being generally commended for the au-
dacitv it has displayed in ";ackling"
questions which Legislators are in the
habit of dodging MS they do pestilcnce.
In what was considered of all States the
home Of t'ucling. there is n most strin-
gent dueiing law, which in addition to
intlicting the severest penalties upon all
those who engage 8 principals or seconds
in affairs of honor, also debars them the
right of suffrage and of holding Office
ever afterwards in q State where, ac-
cording to current estimate, the people
are at least rs reckless of life as those of
any other, the representatives have taken
the liberty of absolutely prohibiting the
carrying of concealed weapons, and also
the sale of Intoxicating liquors, except
in incorporated towns and villages, evils
which are most prolific of dangers to the
lives of its citizens. Not content with
throwing around its people these safe
guards, It has even gone further; tho
encouragement of immigration and of
manufacturing enterprises has been
marked by The passage OF laws exempt
ing from taxation all actual settlers and
all factories started in the State, for q
period of ten years All this has been
dono during a session which by constitu-
tional Limitation is perhaps shorter than
that allowed in any State in the Union.

The Washington Star has been
looking into the cost of General Nc
Dowell's vote fcc General Garfield, of
which so much has been said. An ex-
army officer said to areporter: q General
Mcdowell has been rewarded for having
come from the Pacific coast to New York
to vote for Garfield, but his vote cost the
government about 81 200. He got an
order from the War Department for him
self and aide.de- camp to come East, and
under .hat order both of them drew their
regular mileage and allowances, amount-
ing TO about 81 200. TIE records viii
show the fact.

= The continued cold weather at Nj
agara has caused enormous quantities of
ice to accumulate. The Horseshoe Fall
is frozen solid for 200 feet from either
shore, in consequence of which the Cliff
ton Water-works company have ceased
operations. They cannot control enough
water to keep their machinery in mo
ton, their reservoirs have run dry, and
the town is without water supply. The
massive mounds of stalactites, the formi-
dablc iciclcs suspended from the grizzly
rocks are grand beyond description.
The ice mountains keep working their
way upward, and now reach height of
about l20 feet. The spray has made
wondsrf formations. The pretty cedars
are so loaded with ice that they droop
nearly to the ground. The grand old
trees on Goat Island and in Prospect
Park are COZ oletely frosted over, and
groan under their heavy coats of ice.
Heavy ice continues running over the
falls into the river below, and threatens
every moment to form an ice bridge. All
the cc-houscs in the vicinity are nearly
filled with clear ice, from ~ 20 IA inches
thick.

The law to prevent persons from carry
ing concealed weapons is now in force,
ard every one had better read and obey
it. There is no necessity in u civilized,
law-abiding country for man to 90 out
armed like highwayman. The habit is
an insult TO our society, and is dangerous
besides. The Legislature has decided 10
stop it, and some one will be punished
for It's violation before many weeks pass.
The price Of pistols should be consdera-
bly, reduced by the new law-at least sc
apprchend there will be fewer Of them
sold. The law is a good one, and should
be strictly enforced.

When Gen. Grant was compli-
mcnted, just before the adjournment for
the holidays, by the two houses of Con-
gress suspending their business for the
purpose of paying respects to him, COM
ment was made on the fact that two or
three prominent Republicans in the SEN
ate and the House of Representatives
were conspicuously absent on that occa-
sion. Among those more prominently
mentioned in this connection was Sena-
tor Blaine. 1t is said that the reason
why MIR. Blaine neglected to pay his
respects to Gen. Grant in the Seuate
Chamber was that only q few days before,
when in New York. Gen. Grant had
declined to see him when he called and
sent in his card. Mr.. Blaine, it is said,
was also informed That Gen Grant had
said he would never speak to him again.
Friends here Of Gen. Grant also say that
he is inccnsed against Gen. Sherman on
account of the structures of the latter on
the proposition to create Gen. Grant
captain general. In fact, it is current
rumor that Gen. Grant ia angry with
every one who did not favor his renomi-
nation at Chicago last summer, and car
ries his resentment so fnr rs to refuse to
hold any personal intercourse with any
of them.

A western Hunters Exploit,

A good story is told, of q certain
well known gentleman of this city,
clerk in the Office Of NJ. E. Ingall,
president of the Indianapolis rail
road. He obtained a short leave Of
absence to spend on a hunting ex-
cursion in Southern Indiana. His
success as q sportsman was about
equal to that of the average amateur,
and he returned TO the city without
even SO much as chipmunk.
After getting back to the city he
wrote to Mr.. ingalls, a polite note,
thanking him for his courtesy and
begging his acceptance of the accom-.
panying package of game as the re,
suit of his efforts. Handing the note
to the porter and giving him at the
same time a IS note, he requested
the latter to purchase a couple Of
dozen quail or prairie chickens, and
present them to Mr.. Ingalls, with his
compliments. The porter, who is a
Jealous fellow in whatever he under.
takes, not succeeding in finding eth,
er quail or prairie chickens, invested
the money in two cans of oysters and
dressed turkey, all of which he
faithfully delivered with the note.
