The general results of ihe Senate's delibera? tions upon this bill may be more concisely ex-1 htbited by tbe following statement, which shows In the first column the grosa amount s appropriated by the btu as lt came lrom the House, and in me second column ihe amounts now contained In ihe bill: Salaries.$163 639 $163 s^o Contingent fnnds. 33.0,0 28,i'00 Supreme Court expenses. 2 400 2,100 Ordinary civil expends. 216.000 2*9 ooo State Penitentiary. 4u 000 75,00 ' Educational aepartmeni. ?42.850 362,6.9 Total.$796.869 $9.1,363 It will be seen that the Senate's amend? ments increase the gross amount appropriat? ed by $114,479.

THE CHARLESTON WATER BILL has occupied the principal portion of to-day's session ol the Senate, and the tricks that were resorted to by the beggarly minority whom Hurley bad inveigled luto an opposition to the bill, will afford a lair specimen of how legislation for lue State ol South Carolina ls sometimes managed uow-a-days. The bill esme up thlaalLirnoon in Its regular order on the calendar, and it was at once evident that the sentiment Di the Senate was almost unani? mous in t.ivor of the bill. A test vote that waa taken early In the debate showed that the meinoers then present stood twenty-three to four in lavor ot the bill, and la thia emergen? cy H.irley came buslliug Into tne Senate with ordeis for lila henchmen to fight the bill by means ol filibustering. Now, lt untortunate ly happens that In me Senate there is practi? cally no limit to the amount of time that may be occupied tn debate ll any two members get into euch a desperate strait as to necessi? tate a resort to these devices. As long as one member can be lound to make dilatory motions and another can be found to second them, the chairman is bound to state the motion, and the maker or seconder of lt ls at liberty to discuss lt as long as bis streng) b ot lungs or legs will allow. It was this unfortu? nate feature of the rules of the Senate that Hurley look advantage ot to-day, and seating himself at the desk of one of members be pro? ceeded to devise a variety of senseless amend? ments to the various sections as they came before the Senate, which he distributed among the four opponents of the bill, wltb orders to Introduce them whenever lt was ne cessary to do PO for the delay of l ne bill. He succeeded by this means lu prolonging, the debate until the Seu&ie adjourned for the evening session, and when me Senate reas? sembled the bill was again taken up. Then an amendment waa offered by 8enator Jones, which may be taken as a sample of all the rest, and which proposed to require the company to furnish '.hot" Instead of "pure" water. This amendment being sec? onded, the Irrepressible senaie-r from George? town, who from his color and bis pertinacity in asserting the rights ol his race, ls generally knowe as Civil Rights Jones, began a ramb? ling and characteristic speech, at the outset of which he declared his determination lo Ulk until twelve o'clock. He did talk for an hour or two, and a motion was then made lo adjourn, which motion was carried by a large vote, the friends of the bill having apparently concluded that, unless they agreed to adjourn, the dire threat ol Senator Jones would be car? ried out. The bill thus goes over until Monday, and Hurley is Jubilant, for he asserts that now there will not be time for the bill lo get through before the final ad? journment. The bill has already been amend? ed In the Senate by striking out lhe section which Imposes a penalty upon delin? quent consumers, and lt must, then-lore, be sent back to Ihe HOUBO for concurrence lo this amendment sven If lt should meet with no further detention lu the Senate. It ls now on its second reading In that body. It passed to Its third reading on Monday lt might be tl nally passed on Tuesday and returned to the House. It the bill or Us amendments met with any opposition there lt would probably Involve the loranla ot a committee of con? f?rence, free conference, ?c., and ibis delay would doubtless be sufficient to defeat it for this session._ PICKET. SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT THE FIRE IN \ SAVANNAH. At the Savannah fire ol Friday morning an accideut occurred which was as terrible as lt was sudden. Messrs. Geo. Pender end Peter Kent, both members of the Cleburne Hose Company, were standing near the edge of the sidewalk In iront of Moran & Kielli's stables conversing about the fire when a strong gale sprung up. which blew the front wall towards the street, Isially crushing Mr. Pender and terribly mutilating Mr. Kent.

Both gentlemen are-spoken of as highly honorable and respected citizens. The total losses of real estate and personal property ai the fire as near as can be f?Uma? ted were $30,000. Total insurance $10,400. THE REVOLUTION IN SPAIN. PARIS, February 20.

As these bands struck a martial air., Ibe battalion laced to the right, ihe order to march was given, and the head of the column flied down King aireet. A dense crowd ol men, women and children thronged the side? walks and moved along In time with the music. The doors and windows of the build? ings along all the streets were filled with groups of ladles and children, manj of whom bett beautiful bouquets In their hands, which thev showered gracefully In the path of their favorite clubs. Unfortunately, however, for ? thia feaiure of the parade the streets had been rendered floppy by the rain two previous days, and many tlfully arranged clustera of flowers, in of transmission from the bosom of be: the hand of valor, were sadly disfigured in the language ol the wag, these tot regard were none the less appreciated sons of the soil.
