DEAR SENTINEL: We are having some excl
ting debates in the Legislature, The repeal
Of tho lien law exhausted the Oh atorical now
ers OF some Of our members, and the bill to
repeal the lazy was defeated in the House, and
we may make up our minds to conform to its
requirements another year. There was quite
an excitement in the House over o bill to es-
tabish by law the weight Of bushel of cot
ton seed, and another TO simplify the pleadings
in criminal cases. A great deal of important
business is still before the House, and think
ii very wrong to consume valuable time on
such trivial measures when so much is neces-
sary 10 be done. The House has sent to the
Senate q concurrent restitution TO take o recess
on the 2lst and return on the 18th of Janua-
ry. We can't possibly do the business before
us by Christmas. We received an invitation
to visit the Exposi ton ct atlanta on the 2lst,
but the fate of our concurrent resolution is yet
unknown. We would all like very much to
visit the Exposition, but time is prccous.-
We are about half through reading the Rcyis-
ed Code. l think we can finish in about two
weeks. | hope the eurplus gas has escaped
now from our House, and we can move on
with business faster, that may have more to
say in the near future #.

Ter of John T. Gossett, Esq, of Pickens

His age was near fifty years. His funeral

The long agony over tho stock law has at
last ended, by the passage of The bill. Three
counties, as stated by me in my last letter,
were exem pied from the operations of the

Southern Education.

Our wealthy, patriotic and philanthropic
fellow citizens who are interested in the de-
veiopment of the South by railroads. industri-
al expositions and the like, should keep n
watchful eye on the really deserving and well
planted colleges and academies of the new
South. Our New England ancestors, fostered
by contributions, out Of scanty means of
grain, pewter tlagons, silverware, the pauoity
of their few books, their young colleges, Har-
ward, Yale, Williams and Dartmouth How
much easier now, out Of our abundance and
our good will, to help our Southern friends
in their peculiar straits to fund their libraries,
and in other ways to assist their efforts for
the higher education.
The above from the Springfield Republican
shows that the heart of that journal is over.
flowing with the milk Of human Kindness
and that even in the New England States it
is possible to imbibe some of tho patriotism
and generosity of Henry Clay and John C.
Calhoun. Let the good work go on, and the
time will soon come that every swell of the
Atlantic will start wave of sympathy which
shall roll to the Pacific, and the triumph of
education over superstition and prejudice
shall be the triumph Of all. '. ...

so much against the measure, as against the

Wethink careful investigation would show
that the happy change is in the government
and its officials and not in the people of he
Southern States, who have been and always
will be loyal to the proper enforce ment of
every law.

Revenue, says very great change has come
