will be seen that regular appropriations
are made for the Penitentiary and the
agricultural bureau, both of which, how
ever, are self.sustaining. This is in &C.
cordance with the bill recently passed by
the House requiring these departments
to pay all the moneys collected by them
into the State Treasury, and forbidding
them to draw out except upon legislative
appropriations.
In the executive department the fig.
ures given ara for salaries, contingent
funds, &c. 1t will be seen that the ap.
propriations here apparently aggregate
s966,O67, though the Agricultural de,
partment is sefsustaining, and the pen.
itentiary nearly or quite self sustaining {;
also, 80 that in round numbers We may
say the appropriations amount to $780,
600. To this about 100000 must be ad.
ded for Legislative expenses, and we will
have something over 100000 of app.o.
priations. Of this sum something will
be paid in the phosphate royalty which
varies in different years. 1t will hardly
exceed $3.50, 900, which would leave at
least s75O,000 to be raised by taxation.
In addition to the State tax necessary to
raise this sum, we will have in Anderson
a County tax of 81 mills and 2 mills
school tax. We may safely assume that
taxes this year will be higher than they
were last year. Taxation in South Car
oliua is becoming more and more bur-
densome. It should be decreased instead
of Increased.

STATE AND COUNTY TAXES.

The Tax levy, as passed by the House
of Representatives, provides State tax
of ST mills, to which is to be added the
school tax of two mills, and the County
tax which varies greatly in the several
Counties. In Anderson the tax for
County purposes is reported at 81 mills.
The total tax in the several Counties OF
the State is reported as follows:

The House of Representatives by
decided majority determined to continue
free tuition in the South Carolina Col.
lege, and we were sorry to see our Repre-
sentative, Hon. II. G. Scudday, lead off
by the specious reasons he advanced for
supporting such an injustice to the other
Colleges Of the State, and to the people
of the State, as the free tuition feature Of
the College. Mr.. Scudday puts his
advocacy upon the ground that free
tuition now exists, and that it would be
bad faith on the part of the State to
repeal it. The Acts of the Legislature
indicate that the State intends to barge
tuition, but the Trustees have adopted a
different system, and now Mr.. Scudday
thinks the State has pledged her faith to
the young men at the South Carolina
College to give them free tuition. We
fail to see how the Trustees covld over.
ride the Legislature, and pledge the faith
of the State to free tuition. 1t would
not even be an injustice to the young
men now in the College, because the fact
that they have already secured free tut.
ton to which they are not entitled is no
reason that they should continue to get
such an advantage. The young men of
the State who are really unable to pay
tuition ought to be permitted to attend
the College without charge under the
provision for scholarships, but those
who are able to pay should do so. 1t
will not affect the University, in our
judgment, in an unfavorable way, for it
will give tia larger sum of money with
out placing any additional tax on the
people Of the State to support it. Tui.
ton fees would, therefore. in our judg-
ment, be beneficial to the institution.

Congressman Aiken:

BALTIMORE, December 17.--This
morning the $50 train for the South,
via the Virginia Midland route, bore
away to his home in Cokesbury one of
South Carolina's distinguished and rep
resentative sons, the Hon. D. Wyatt
Aiken. He came to this city to consult
DR.. Miles. Unfortunately the good
Doctor couldn't afford him the relief
sought. Col. Aiken's disease is of the
nerves, but it is too deep-seated for the
knife and only time and treatment can
relieve him. The seat Of Col. Aiken's
ailment is at or near the lower extremity
of the spine, where the plated nerves
issue to divide and ramify over the lower
limbs. The cause of his trouble is two
falls that he had on the ice last winter.
The first fall was in the horse lot of his
home in Cokcsbury,. when he fell upon
the sill of the gate, receiving apparently
only slight and temporary injury; later
in Washington on his way from church,
accompanied by one of his daughters,
he had another fall. This last fall was
more serious, and it was with great diff
Guilty that be reached his hotel. His
duties in Congress and a trip to New
Orleans to see the Exposition, with the
great attendant exercise and fatigue,
infamed the badly bruised nerves and
ever since his return 10 his home from
New Orleans he has been a sufferer.

ment and careful examination in con-
sultation with Surgeon l.. McLane TifEa-
ny, (who operated on Judge Aldrich so
successfully advised him to test the
great healers-time and rest. This to
one of Col. Aiken's active temperament
and hard working habits seems living
death, but in his own home, free from
the excessive cold of this latitude, and
able in his own chamber to be protected
from cold drafts, so necessary in his case,
his constituents and, indeed, the State at
large, may hope for the recovery of this
hard working and able Congressman.
Col. Aiken was taken from his cham.
ber to carriage, and at the station
transferred to the car by two stalwart
negroes. This removal he accomplished
with little pain, comparatively, and it is
hoped that when once in sleeper a at
Washington he may have an easy ride to
Greenville, where he must undergo
another transfer, and the last, except by
carriage from Hodges Station IN the
Columbia and Greenyille Railroad 10
his home in Cokesbury Col. Aiken is
accompanied by his estimable wife, who
visited Baltimore last, before this visit,
as bride. Representatives Dibble and
Hemphill came over yesterday afternoon
to visit their brother in affliction, and to
reassure him that, as far as their efforts
prevailed, his constituents interests
should not suffer in the interval of his
absence from his seat in the House.

shortened to the period at first estimated.
Senator Cocker moved to amend the
bill by making the appropriation out CT
the surplus earnings of the Penilentiary.
Senator Woodward said it would
amount to the same thing if the money
were taken out of the treasury, because
the State had determined to 60 on with
the work and the money would come out
of the treasury in the end.
Senator Buist saw indifference between
an appropriation outright and one out of
the earnings of the Penitentiary, and
spoke heartily against Senator Coker's
motion.
Senator Mauldin thought that the
State was not committed to internal
improvements and supported the amend
ment.
The vote was as follows:
Yeas-Biemann, Black, Clyburn, Co.
ker, Earle, Izlar, Mccall, Mauldin,
Moody, Moore of Anderson, Munro,
Patterson, Simmons, Sigh, Todd and
Talbert-1G.
Nays-Bell, Benbow. Buist, Byrd,

of Hampton, Rcdfearn, Reynolds, Smith,

postponement of the bill.

removal OR disability both of the Presi.
dent and Vice. President, and in case no
Vice.P President shall have been elected,
the Secretary of State shall act as Presi-
dent until an election can be held and
consummated; and if there be no Secre.
tary of State then the Office is to revert
to the Secretary of the Treasury, the
Secretary of War, the Attorney General,
the Secretary of the Navy, the Secretary
of the Interior and the Postmaster.Gen-
eral in the order named, who shall act
as President until an election can be had
as provided in the Bill, provided that no
one of these officers shall be competent
to act as President who would not be
eligible to the Presidency of the United
States as provided by the Constitution.
Hon. Samuel Dibble, of this State, has
likewise introduced Bill in the House
providing that two Vice-Presidents shall
be elected by the people instead of one,
and shall be voted for separately as first
and second Vice.President. In case of
the death or inability of the Vice Presi-
dent, or his accession to the Presidency,
the second Vice. President shall become
the Vice. President. We rather incline
to prefer the Hoar Bill, because it is
simpler and more ample in its provisions
than Mr.. Dibble's Bill, which is not an
ample protection against failure in the
Presidential succession, and it is both
simpler and more certain than Mr. Ran
dalls Bill. Mr.. Randall's Bill, it must
be admitted, is very complete, but it
strikes us there is more machinery about
it than necessary. Moreover, the other
Bill has passed the Senate, and should be
passed by the House without delay, in
order to secure o Democratic President
in case of accident to President Cleve-
land. Ii the President should die now
John Sherman would become President,
while if the Senate Bill passes the House
Mr.. Bayard would be the President, and
if he for any reason could not serve Mr..
Manning, and so on to the Postmaster
General. We think the passage Of this
Bill is a matter of very grave conse.
quence to the country, and it should not
be delayed single day.

Senator Hampton has introduced into
the United States Senate bill to punish
any Senator or Representative who solic-
its an appointment for any person under
the Federal Government. The bill
permits Senators and Congressman to
endorse applications forwarded through
them with the facts, and authorizes them
TO submit in writing their views upon
any appointment when requested in
writing by the appointing power to do so.
The bill will, if it becomes a law. relieve
the Senators and Representatives Of
many annoying applications for Office.
Otherwise We do not see any material
advantages to be derived from it.

The death Of Vice President Hen
bricks has given an Importance and
prominence to the necessity for regula.
ting by law more completely and clearly
the Presidential succession in the United
States, and various measures looking
thereto are now under consideration by
Congress. The bill familiarly known as
the Hoar Bill, which passed the Senate
last year, has again passed the Senate
and is before the House. 1t provides
that in case of the death, inability, &c.
of both the President and Vice.President
the succession shall 60 to the existing
cabinet, beginning with Secretary of
State, and so on to the Postmaster Gen.
eral. Hon. Samuel Randall has intro.
duced Bill in the House which pro.
vides, first, that the Presidential electors
shall hold their Offices for the term Of
four years; second, that whenever, in
case of the removal, death or resignation
of the President, the Vice-President
shall have become President of the
United States, the electors shall meet in
their respective States and elect another
Vice President. In the same manner in
case of the removal, resignation, death
or disability of the President and Vice
President, the electors shall elect another
President and another Vice.President.
In case of the removal or death of either
the President or Vice.Presideut the Sec.
retary of State shall notify the chief ex.
ecutiyes of the seyeral States thereof,

The House of Representatives amend
ed the Senate Canal Bill so as to allow
only FIVE thousand dollars to complete
the Canal. This will give very small
power and be practically worthless. The
Canal has been over half finished on a
plan that will give twelve thousand horse
power aud enable the State to derive a
revenue from water rents, and at the
same time save steam power in the peni-
tentiary, and permit the work of that in
ssitution to be enlarged and made more
profitable to the State. The present
House last Winter appropriated fifteen
thousand dollars for the Canal and gave
it two hundred hands. It is a little
strange that they should now propose
practically to abandon the work. If
that was their intention it ought to have
been done last year, and save the money
aud value OF the convicts' time. The
House was either wrong last Winter or it
.
is wrong now. In either event, its man.
ayement of the Canal question will be
bad tinanciering. It is said this action
grows out of the conflict between the
Senate and the House, and is intended
to pay off the Senate on the census
question. At any rate; the House has
evinced lack of acquaintance with the
law, which will doubtless amuse the Sen.
ate. The Bill willlalmost certainly, we
take it, be defeated by the failure of the
Senate to concur, and then the continu.
ing appropriation of ten thousand dollars
will.be used, and the work on the Canal
carried on to completion.

majority Of our voters. As the Legisla'
ture will not permit us to vote on prohi-
bition, we must content ourselves with
the reflection that, as "Prep" said last
Winter, the contract of our members for
service in the General Assembly has now
expired, and we can at least vote on
them.

Judge Mckay, the United States Cir
cult Judge, before whom the anti-prohi-
bitionists of Atlanta obtained the ipjunc-
ton against declaring the vote on pro-
hibi.ion in that city, after hearing the
most elaborate argument on both sides,
dissolved the injunction and dismissed
the complaint. The Anti-Prohibition-
lists thereupon went before Judge Clark,
of the State Court, and secured tenn
porary injunction which has not yet tbeen
decided. We hope, however, that it is a
mere question of time, and that the pro-
hibitionists will secure the fruits of their
victory. OF course the liquor interests
die hard.

The Lien Law, as it has passed the
Senate, gives the landlord the first lien
for rent, regardless of the amount and
without indexing or filing. The lien
is good whether the contract for rent be
verbal or in writing. Laborers have the
second lien for their services, but the
contract must be in writing and filed.
Otherwise the Lien Law stands as it has
always done. We think it would have
been better to repeal the Law entirely
for everything except rents.

to sixteen tackled a proviso on to the
appropriation bill which is intended to
abolish free tuition in the South Caroli-
ma College. II is appended to the
appropriation for the College, and is as
