Senator Maxwell'S Bill.

One of the most important meas.
ures proposed at this term of.our-leg
ialature, was to'reduce The number of
County Commissioners from three to
one. The bill will not become lav.
But attention has been called to the
matter and Senator Max8ell,s speech
on the subject ought to satisfy any
one of the wisdom of the change.
Want Of space prevents the publica-
ton Of the Senator g speech. *,

Atlanta Prohibition a Failure.

ATLANTA, December IA The ar.
gumert was resumed in the contested
election caae before Judge Mckay oI
the United States Court. The counsel
for the prohibitiorists admit that the
construction Of the bill which permits
the aales of Georgia made wine and
excludes wines made in other States
is unconstitutional, but claim that the
bill should stand without that sec.
tion. This seems to be most in
portant development. Argument will
be concluded to morrow.

The Yellow-BeIlied Cooter.
Senator Buist's bill to prohibit the
catching Of terrapins between the
first day Of April and the thirtieth Of
June in any year, excited on ita final
reading the hostility of Senator How
!, ell, who made motions to kill it in
several ways. He said that the ter.
rapin industry in Colleton was large
one, participated in by considerable
proportion Of the colored population.
To fine and imprison a man for catch.
ing a terrapin was wrong. If the
bill passed it would fill the Courts
with little terrapin cases.
Senator Buist defended his bill.
Terrapins were worth So dozen and
were as proper subjects of protection
as fish and birds during the breeding
season. He thought that these ugly
but delicious little creatures should
be carefully guarded. Senator Maui.

on the same side. He ssis that a
large proportion Of the psses1pie people most
affected BY the law desires its imme-
diate repeal, and this should of itself
be enough to induce the members to
pass the bill. The question Of strik-
ing out the enacting clause was then
decided by the yeas and nays-yeas
43; nays 70. The bill was then pass
ed to it's third reading.
The Leasing of Convicts.
Next in order the bill to repeal the
Act prohibiting the leasing out Of
eonvicts was reached. There was
some desultory discussion of the bill
and food of amendments, but these
were all voted down, the sentiment
of the House being evidently in favor
of the bill. In fact, there can scarce
ly be any doubt of the necessity Of
repeating the law in question. Unless
this is done, an appropriation of$l00,.
600 will be needed to support the
convicts..
~ Mr.. McCrsdy moved to amend the
bill 80 as to virtually kill it, and sup
ported his motion with an earnest
speech, .beseeching the House not to
90 back upon its humane action Of
last year for any consideration of re.
trenchment.
Mr.. Folk, of Edge6eld, opposed the
amendment.
Mr.. Lyles, Of Richmond, said that
the sentiments Of the gentleman from
Charleston (Mr. McCrady) were
shared by every one, and the commit
tee had carefully considered the mat
ter. This bill gave protection to the
convicts, but at the same time per.
mitted their hiring out.
Other gentlemen followed, and in
the course of the argument it was
claimed that the mortality among the
Sconvictsi in the Penitentiary was great
er than in the convict camps, owing
to the insuficiency of the accommo-
,datiana-and the want Of proper cloth

Legislative Proceedings.
In the HOUSE.
The Lien Law.

Mr.. Haskell characterized it as q
most dangerous experiment. The
Legislature had once before tried the
repeal Of the law, and when it met
again the law was; re enacted. he
said thatiit would he most inoppor-
tune time to repealthis law. He did
not believe the agricultural classes
could get. along without it. He did
not believe in restricting business in
this way. This is Democratic gov
ernment, and the people have right
to use their property or money as
they please.
It is notorious fact that the crops
have been Q, failure and the coming
year promises to be the hardest we
have had for. q long time. BE trusted
the members would not consent to
repeal this necessary law.
Mr.. w. B. Wilson spoke earnestly
and very intelligently in support Of
the bill. He answered clearly and
forcibly the points made by the oppo-
nents Of the bill and enumerated 8
half dozen potential reasons why the
General Assembly should lose no time
rid of the odious law. He
said that the farming classes, those
most interested in the working Of the
law, are practically unanimous for
its repeal.
Mr.. Jones of Edge6eld came to the
advocacy of the bill in singularly
direct and convincing argument. As
the representative of the planters he
felt it his duty to raise his voice in
their behalf and do all in his power
to cause this Infamous Law to be atol
