lature by which questions of titles

Courts and certified to the Secretary,

.the premises. Not infrequently, he
says, questions 'arise as to the validi
ty of entries for land, and as there is
no machinery provided for determin
ing such queetions, they; are practi
cally left to the decision of the! Sec
retary. This, Col. Saunders thinks,
should not be so. "Another defect in
the land law, pointed out, is, that no
machinery is provided for the cdr
rectlon of errors in the records !of
grants, no matter bow patent or how
indisputable they maybe. ..The sug
gestion is made that as the Council
of State has a clerk, keeps minutes
of its meetings, and can be called
together without difficulty at any
time, that body is a very suitable
deposity for the power of making
such corrections and should i there
fore be made such depository by act
of assembly. j j j
t The Secretary, in giving the names
of the insurance companies licensed
to do business in the State, refers! to
the complaints made by companies
who take ont license and pay tales
on the business they do against the
present law. which permits parties
in the State to obtain insurance) from
companies not licensed hem . He
thinks it a dimcult thing tortna Mate
to iustify itself in exacting! taxes
from-companies that take out license
while it permits companies -which
do
not take out license to come
within
its borders and do the same kind
business free of- cost, j ! j ,
of
i 1 be Only case m which ne con
eiders it proper ' that an unlicensed
outside company ought to be permit
ted to do insurance business is where
the amount of insurance on i single
risk is greater than the amount the
licensed companies! can place upon a
single risk. The Secretary suggests
that the law be made to jconformi to
this principle. i, J . I ".
Another suggestion ue makes; is
that the penalty for Violation of the
provisions of the insurance law be
giver! to the sheriff, as in other cases
of violation of the revenue law. j
i These suggestions and recommen
dations are the result of long experi
ence in the service of the State, of
ripe . wisdom and of ; patriotio devo
tion to the State's interests'. I i
The Secretary reports the pur
chase of $13,947 52 worth of station
ery for the State during the last two
years, $642 80 of the amount dis
bursed having been repaid by the
counties for goods furnished them,
and gives the amount of money col
lected by bis department' and paid
into the treasury during the two
years ending November 10, 1886, as
$37,055 34. f :

To show the progress which has

intendent of Public Instruction Fin
ger in nis biennial report presents a
comparative summary of statistics
for the years 1884 '85 and '86. This
shows that there was anj increase in
the receipts . from ordinary taxation
in 1885 amounting to $51693 32
and, that there wa) a corresponding
increase in the average length of
school terms. In 1886 there was also
an increase in receipts over those of
1885 amounting- to $38,67 41. This
increase- has been attained j be it
noted, without any increase of valu
ation and without any in the rate of

. The Superintendent epitomizes tbe
needs of the State in the matter of
-which he has control as follows: :i
"1. Longer school terms, which
! will require more money. i

that can be done " with propriety in

He urges i the Assembly to . meet
these needs with appropriate legisla
tion. ' , . J ' r .
The Superintendent , reoommends
the establishment of a regular Nor
mal school for white teachers, "in
which, persona who have elsewhere
acquired a fair ; knowledge of the
branches usually taught in the public
schools may get the best possible in
struction in the science and history
of education and in methods." He
thinks it may. be assumed that .some
community would furnish the build
ings, and this being eor he estimates
f that 110,000 per annum would estab
lish and maintain the institution. .;.

At each meeting of the Legislature

the fight was between Capt. S. A.

Mr. Joseph'ns Daniels, of the Chron

Stale press - as to the merits and
dements of the different candidates,
either of whom would doubtless do
the work in a creditable and satisfac
tory manner. Mr. Hale's efficient ser

more is needed r out, we are toia,
Mr. Hale is out of the newspaper bn

this argument should remember that,
after' Mr. llale was elected public

his newspaper in order to devote bis

they should temember also that Mr.

N. Y. Times. Rep Tariff Reform
When sbme definite proposition is
mide public opinion wilt make itself
felt, aud it will not be i in favor of
repealing I internal revenue taxes.
Something may be permitted in that
direction, but we venture to predict
that neither the House nor the Sen
ate will dare to reduce or repeal the
internal revenue taxes and leave the
tariff untouched. The last exploit
of that sort, or with the same motive,
was when tea and coffee were made
free. Ever sinco the country rallied
from the depression of 1873 tbe pro
tecliomsta have been proposing to
cut down the internal revenue in or
der to save the tariff. They have
nibbled a little at it, but they have
not done much. The last Republi
can House was prepared . to do more,
but tbe Senate hesitated. "Free rum

all the' while at the black browded,

If Mr. Rindall could have bis way
he would repeal both . the whiskey
and tobacco tax. While he will not
admit it, he wants to 'tax the neces

the country will not permit , him' to
do that, even though he has the sup
port of the Itepablican party. The

that where combination existed competition

it better to have tbe busioess kept in a great"
manj hands than to have it consolidated ;
be bclievid it better to let Jittle country

tile establish tneo s at tbtir expense; be be
lieved it rn-tter to let weak railroads live
laao to build up one magnificent railroad
corporal i n that would occupy to the rail
road business of the country the same posi
tion as tbe Western Union Telegraph Com
pany bears to the telegraph business of the

Mr Morgan, stated the reason wnicn
would itflueiice his vote -against the bill.
He wss not conlfiiL wi'.h il in respect of ila
pmctical tffect on ;the people ot his own
Stnte. AUbnma was at the farther southern
margin of the United 8lates. r Tbe markets
in which btr pt-cpie bought their dry goods
and a Urce part of their grocer ea were at

from : Alibama. . The marktts in which !
they suid their products were all dUtaot.
I bey hid a vast iract of country to cross
in gelling hher to ihj market of purchase
or the market of Sale, bo that be thought
that any bill which forced railroad com
panies to raiee their charges on freights for .
long hauls would be necessarily inimical to
tbe best interests of his Btate. That prac
tical statement of reasons why be opposed
tbe bill would be quite sufficient, he said,
to justify bim ia the course he felt com
pelled to take toward it; but he had other
reaeocs He then proceeded to argue that
the States were perfectly competent to deal
with this subject; and that tbe interference
of the Federal Government would lead to
still further Invasions, until the manage
ment of the railroads would eventually be
come the most; absorbing business of Con
gress. Hj dreaded to enter on that field
and would not do so voluntarily. As a
citizen he bowed to the decision of the Su
preme Court; but as a 8enator, he ques
tioned it with a sense of duty which would
not permit him to adopt it He could not sub
scribe to the doctrine that inter-State com
merce could only be protected through the
action of Congress The bill was based
solely on that false premise; it opened tha
door to the interference of Congress with
every regulation of trade and commerce.
It ex p. Hied tbe charter of every railroad
company given by the States to modifica ¬
tions through acta of Congress For a
hundred yetra the Stales had assisted and
piotected inter Stale commerce. Congress,
doubting tbe extent of its powers, had per
mitted such assistance and protection on
the part of tbe States, aod io doing r had
bltsstd the country by it inactioo. ; Tne
prjocipla of ibis bill would end ia nuking
merchandise of politics. While it ruled, and
ruined busiotss He admitted all that had
been said as to tbe sufferings and wrongs
of tbe people through tbe greed of railroad
companies; but in finding a remedy lor the
evil, he neither wished to find for the j peo
ple a new master (remote from them and
their influence) in Congress, nor to place in
the hands of that master power over: their
trade and traffic. More dangerous for them
than even the power of railroad companies.
As he read this bill, (interpretation 01 which
was so uncertain that every one had to inter
pret it i for himself) it necessitated
increase of rates on long hauls ia all cases
where roads could not sacrifice a large part
of their ineome. He was convinced that
the roads to the coal and iron fields of Al
abama could not do that, and the burden
would f til heavily upon those new indus
tries of Alabama, and would probably de
stroy them. 1 ih ;
Mr. tjuliom sata he was very anxious to
have the bill disposed of as soon as possi
ble, consistent with fair discussion, and he
therefore gave notice that on Tuesday or
Wednesday next ; he would ask the (senate
to remain in session until the subject was
disposed 01. . f it

bill for permanent improvement of the
Erie and Oswego canals and to secure the

to reach a vote on the bill, as it did not
seem ukely to pass and should , be ' gotten
out of the way of other legislation. -
- Mr. Weaver, of Iowa, said that the bill
wouiq. ran unless me uennepin uanal ap

favor 01 the inter-state Commerce bill.
All of those passed were of a private or.
local cnaracter. . y.. :;;
Mr. Cullom, at 8.10 p.. m.; stated that
while he wonld like to have a discussion of
the Inter-State Commerce bill continued to
day, he was informed by four Senators who
desired to speak upon it, that they were not
prepared to go on to-day. .- tie therefore
proposed that the Senate wonld go to other
business. He wished It understood, how
ever, that immediately after the morning
business on Monday he would 'ask the
Senate to proceed with the Inter-State
Commerce ; bill and would on Wednesday
ask the Senate to remain In session until the

Mr. Uepburo, of Iowa, opposed the bill
Tbe city of Charleston had been the scene
of a terrible calamity which rendered it un
wise that the Government should erect new

seriously injured. if not well-nigh destroyed.

. This latest work of Crad-

advance on anything the author has
hitherto rwritten.. The 1 progress is
mostly seen in a better- idea of lit

sustained dramatic purpose. She is

may say .in -passing, of "In the
Clouds" 9 probably tbe least able
feature in its connection;:. but the
characters taking part, in the action,
and the descriptions of scenery, are
od a very . high range of dramatic
and literary rt. - Mink Lorey is one
of : tbe most beautiful, rattle-pated
creations ot fiction; the two opposing
lawyers and the judge are life-like

Impenitent men are never ex
horted in the Scriptures to anything but
repentance. Impenitent prayer is blas
phemy. It is never named in the Bible but
as an object of God's abhorence. -
But . at - His : seoond " coming,
which we confidently expect, there will be
no further concealing of His divinity, be
cause the day of grace will be eone, the
day of probation ended, and the awful day
of retribution at hand! It will be a glori
ous day for the faithful. All their labors
and sorrows and trials will end in everlast
ing joy and peace and rest. The bright
ness of his coming shall, consume all the
dross and imperfections of His people, and
leave only those elements which partake of
the nature of Deity, and these thenuelves
shall live forever in the presence and favor
of God. Charlotte Church Messenger.
