A Washington correspondent writes that Mr. Hammond, of Georgia, will be a candidate for the Speakership of . the next House of Representatives. He will have the support of the entire Georgia delegation, and will probably receive a number of votes from the Southern members. It is said that Mr. Randall has withdrawn from the race, and that the contest will be narrowed down to Carlisle and Blackburn, of Kentucky, with chances considerably in favor of the former. Mr. Carlisle is in every way competent to fill the posion for which he is a candidate, and as a parliamentarian, a constitutional lawyer ani* a liberal and progressive statesman, be is the peer oi any member of the House. We hope the Sonth Carolina delegation will give him their hearty and unanimous sup port. John Or. Carlisle should be the _ Speaker of the next House.

The fi<?h1 waxes warm, and will doubtless forcc itself upon the Legislature, which is soon to meet. Ox Monday last Governor Stephens of Georgia, issued a pardon to Capt&ii: Ed. Cox, sentenced to life imprisonment in the penitentiary for the murder of Col. Robt. A. Alston at Atlanta iu 1879. Colonel Alston was at the time a member of the Georgia Legislature. and his refusal to advocate some measures of Cox's, with reference to the penitentiary, was the cause of the difficulty that terminated so~~tragically. c J VVA3 mux wuaicu ? jsruiuuuu 5cxiraa tion at the time, owing to the high standing and prominence of the parties. All of us remember the eloquent and feeling tribute to the memory ol Colonel Alston by Mr. Grady in the Atlanta Cowtitvtion. He said: '-To* day we bury him; to-morrow we shrine his memory in our hearts and turn om faces to the future. Tears are idle, aud no cry can bring back that brigiit presence and that winsome face. Nothing can light those darkened eyes: nothing thrilled that coffined heart; nothing qnickeu that tired brain; fining nerve that listless hand. God's will be done, and God rest thee in peace, thou honest friend?thou golden-hearted gentleman!" INFERIOR COURTS. Among the important bills before the Legislature is one for the establishment of inferior courts. We have not learned the exact provisions of the bill, but are of opinion that it contemplates an abolition of the present trial justice system and the establishment ol county courts instead. This we feel assured is the best course which the Legislature can take. Whatever may __ be_5aid_in^fev'or of the process in "carrying justice to every man's door," the deplorable failure of the existing system cries loudly for legislative interference. Let us try the county courts. Thpv Tnflv not. hA finite sn ronvpnipnt as the present arrangement, but we venture the assertion that they will be less expensive and the administration of justice most complete and satisfactory. yiX.LT/tME.

The motion was refused, and Chief Justice Waite in giving the.dedsion of the Court, said: "The State of South Carolina opposes the motion, and no sufficient cause i? shown for advancing the case since the execution of the revenue laws of the State is stav^ i by supersedeas, which was secured by j appeal. No matter of general public ! interest seems to this coorf-to be ini volved, and no one is interested a^oinst I 7 | the State, in the question raised, except ; the appellees. They occupy the posi| tion of parties seeking to collect debts alleged to be due from the State. The validity of their claims is controverted. To all intents and purposes the suit afFects only private interests. The i amounts involved are large, but not ; larger than in many other cases/' i The effects of the decision is, that j the case can only come np regularly ' and be heard when it is reached on the J caiendar. The case involves a large amount of money, and as the State is a party to the action, is consequentjy of great public concern. The decision of this court will be awaited with great interest and intensejm&iety. ? <^i SMYTHE'S BILL. Senator Sinythe, of Charleston, introduced a bill in the Senate several days ago, in effect repealing the usury law. In its original form it changed the existing law so as to read as follows: "No greater rate of interest ' than 7 per cent, shall be charged, taken, agreed upon or allowed upon any contract arising m tins oiatu, uxi' less a greater rate of interest than 7 per cent, be agreed upon in writing, and snch writing signed by the party or parties to be charged therewith," etc. Senator Perry moved to amend by inserting the words, "but not great1 er than 10," between the words ' "seven" and "per cent." Mr. Perry's 1 amendment, after considerable discussion, was carried on Tuesday in the ' Senate by a vote of 16 to 15. This in effect killed the Smythe bill, but changed the existing law, so as to fix 1 the maximum at 10 per cent, instead ' nf 7 A c?rn?loi? rnooenro olcr* Ti??vcr>/1 in the House on Tuesday. ' This is well enough as far as it goes, [ but it is not laying the axe to the root of the tree. The Legislature has 11c ! light to fix either a maximum 01 ' minimum of percentage. Left entire!\ ! to itself, it w-il he better regulated b\ the laws of trade than it can possibh [ be any legislation upon the subject - But this is a step in the right direction and we are confident that the day is . not far distant when the usury law ; with all its attendant evils, will bf swept from the statute books of Soutl Carolina. "A PERISHING RACE." A r*nrrAsnondeiit of the New Yorl Herald gives some interesting facts concerning the gradual extinction o: j that mighty race of men?the aborigl nies of the continent?vgtoom almosi I nnmberles%$^$s-fe^r^^led do^ ^ p: re goes," may^atfth s? , slight change be applied to the Indian. ^ From the shores of the Atlantic he has ' step by step receded from the progress of an advancing civilization until he has reached the very gate of the Pacific. And now hemmed in upoi] ' every side, this handful of a perishing race, that have escaped the rifle of the European, are saving themselves bv throwing their blood into the veins ol L ? their conquerors. "Inter-marriage with the whites," says the correspondent above referred to, "alone saves [ them from total extinction." There is no art trade or real industry among them. The highest attainable object of ambition for an educated Indian is to be a United States marshal or a deputy sheriff, wearing a belt loaded , with six-shooters aud cartridges. In1 capable of civilization, the Indian will pass out of existence and leave 11c record of his life. Fqi* centuries be tore the loot 01 the ?axon had touched [ this continent be roamed its forests in peace, in silence and in ignorance. ' And if by any conceivable disaster these people had been exterminated before the discovery of this country by ' Europeans, posterity would have had no evidence that such a race of men ever existed, save what the researches of the geologist might have snatched from the devouring jaws of death. TEE ARLINGTON HOME. The Supreme Court of the United States rendered a decision several days since in favor of the Lee heirs, claimants of the Arlington estate. The property in litigation was seized and sold by the United States authorities lor taxes, oougnt m oy me government . and thereafter set apart as a National Cemetery. Suit was instituted in the United States Circuit Court for its recover}*, and a decision was there rendered in favor of the heirs of General Lee. The case was taken up on appeal, and the Supreme Conrt sustained the decision. Chief Justice Waite and Justices Gray, Bradley and Woods dissented. The Cincinnati Gazette comments sadly on the situation. It says: '"The heirs of the Confederate funeral Lee and wife now own the estate iu which many thousand of national soldiers are buried. How what will Congress do about it? The heirs of the Rebel Gcneral-in-the-Chief now own these bodies of Union soldiers?not a pleasant id^a." This is true of course, and is not a pleasant thought to those who are hostile to the name of Lee- But it should be remembered that it was the government in the first instance that committed the wroug. It seized and confiscated valuable property, without the semblance of law, morality or decency, end adding insult to injury, converted the beautiful, lovely home of the Confederate chieftain into one great melancholy burying ground \ But the soldier-dead will rest in oeacei the in -- A heritors of the name and line age of Lee will not disturb their repose. Let the Government purchase the property of the lawful owners, and it will then have good titles to its National Cemetery! But be this a6 it may, the triumph of the plaintiffs is the.triumph of law, the triumph of ! justice and a magnificent vindication j of the honor and integrity of the Rei public. All honor to the wisdom and | impartiality of our judiciary. *? - / \ THE RAILROAD BILL. Vr Should it become a law? This is a question tnat dwarfs all others in importance?the question Gf questions that is> at present, absorbing the public attention. Anil it is well that the public eye should be directed towards the subject, for we cannot realize too fully the momentous issues involved in the final solution of this difficult problem. On the one hand we have j suffered severely from the unjust and | oppressive exercise of power by monJ a! 1 it._t M 1. cy cu curpurauviib, anu uuti. ramuaus throughout the State have and do daily discriminate in their charges to a.n unreasonable extent, cannot be suc! ccssfuliv 'denied. But", on the other | * 7 hand, we should not overlook the fact that railroads, with all their abuses of corporate power, arc among the most powerful agencies of a progressive civilization, and upon their existence must largely depend the material deveiopcincnt of the State. It- follows, therefore, as a necessary conclusion, that both sides of the question should j be calmly, carefully and impartially considered; and that hasty legislation upon a measure so important in its operations should be condemned as unsai'e, unwise and fraught with the j most serious consequences to the welfare and pi<?sperity of the State. That the railrods iu the State and elsewhere shcjuld be kept within reasonable 'bounds?that legitimate efforts should be made to check them iu abusive exercise of their powers and privileges, is clear enough; but to place all the great railroads of the State under the supervision, direction and control of three commissioners elected by the Legislature to hear and determine all questions that might arise in the scope of their authority, without the right of appeal or reviewby a higher court, is such a grant of power that we believe to be unwise, and such an infringement of private , property wholly unwarranted and unwarrantable. But it is claimed by the advocates of the bill that they are nothing more than "public highways . which should be controlled by our own people just as much as our other , roads and streets." The position is certainly an astounding one, and to . say the least, very untenable. It is true, in one sense, they are "public," i but in the same sense that hotels are, i they are used for the accommodation of the "public." But in every other sense they are private?private, be! cause even the soil upon which the ( track lies is owned by the corporation . as private property; the track itself, . the rolling stock, in fine, everything . necessary to and in any way connected . with the management of the road, are purchased by the private funds of a corporation composed of private indi' viduals. Then can it be said, strictly speaking, that they are "public high[ ways?" If not, thev must be private; j and if so, is it reasonable to hold that they should be subject to the same control and to a like extent as our roads and streets? We think not. We are not disposed to take sides : with the railroads or pa lliate to any ; extent the many abuses of which they f ar -^'lty; neither are we disposed to or injure the great railroad ~ uj^.^ng the multiplication . we will be enabled to j look to competion for a redress of our ; grievances. The bill has passed the ? Senate, and will be discussed in the i House from day to day until finally disposed of. We hope it will be somewhat modified so that there will be no invasion of private property further than is absolutely necessary for the good of the State. OTJK COL UMBIA LETTER. Tlie Legislature? Election of Directors?Admitted to the Bar- Other Matters. ( Columbia, December 16.?As every Senator and Representative has prom' I ised himself a final return home by " Christmas, both branches of the Legis ' lature arc nam at woru, ana tne ses1 sions occupy seven or eight hours a day. The House calendar is very ' heavy, and unless a great deal of work 1 is accomplished in the next few days, 1 a number of bills will fail for want of time. The Senate has disposed of the ' railroad bill, and the House has spent two days wrestling with the knotty 1 problem. The Senate bill, as it now 1 stands, provides for three commission* ers from different sections of the State by the Governor, and invested with absolute powers of regulating freight charges. Their schedule of rates is to be final. A hard fight has been made against this provision on the ground matic is an unconstitutional measure, inasmuch as it encroaches upon the rights of private property, and also upou the broad ground of oppression. Mr. B raw ley made a powerful speech on this line last night. The friends of the measure are equally earnest, and advance strong arguments, the chief being that the railroads have a practi- i cal monopoly, and are in the hands of a single individual or a small clique of foreign capitalists, who continually encroach upon the rights of the people. The railroad subject :1s vast, that no man in the United States is able fully to grapple with it. Legislation, therefore, must be tentative. You will doubtless sec the late of the bill recorded ere this reaches von. The appropriation bill has passed its ; second reading in the House, and will shortly engage the Senate. Several . speeches were made against the approi priarion for the University, but the . House sustained it by a vote of 81 to loi. The Citadel appropriation also ! passed, but the item of $21,000 for t beneficiary cadets was reduced to j SI7,000. This allows $250 for each j beneficiary. The Columbia canal provoked a warm discussion in the Senate.' The bill as amended gives not less than two hundred convicts r.'?d $20,000 for the work of the current year. The engineer asked for $25,000 and two hundred and fifty convicts. The total j estimate for the completion of the | canal is $300,000. of which about one- 1 third will be in money tuid the rest in i convict labor. A bill for the repeal of the Lien Law failed in the Senate by a vote of 18 to 15. The two absent" Senators, Benbow and Bvrd, favored repeal. So the question was quits close. Senator Gaillard voted in favor of the repeal. Both Houses hare passed bills retaining the legal rate of interest at 7 | pet- cent., but allowing as much as 10 i percent, in writteu agreement of the i 1 parties. This is next best to a total \ ' repeal of the usury law.

Palmer, former I president of the Charlotte, Columbia. & Augusta Railroad, has been in negotiation with English capitalists, and a charter of incorporation of a Loan Association is in course of passage through the Legislature. The judiciary committee having decided that members of the: Legislature cannot serve upon the Penitentiary Board, the old .members have resigned. Ou Friday eleetious .were held to fill the vacancies. "Mr. J.yi. Williamson, oi JL/arungxon, wuseijeoicu iiimmiuuualy to fill an unexpired term, and on the election fur three new members, five candidates were placed in nomination. Major T. W. Woodward received 130 oat of 146 votes cast. This is the highest compliment, as it was unsolicited. Major Woodward has devoted much study to water power, and will be a valuable member, especially in reference to the development of the canal. The Fairfield members are taking a high stand in the House. They are constant in their attendance, pay close attention to business, speak well and to the point when occasion demand, and vote for the best interests of the people.

This speaks well for the country. Twenty-five new attorneys were licensed by the Supreme Court the j other day: among them, Messrs. Hanai ban, Carter and Ragsdnle. May much sucess attend these new limbs of the law. Janauschek has come ?.nd gone. She is a grand tragedienne, and was well supported on her visit, here; but the scenes of the French Revolution, the execution of Louis and Marie Antoinette and the general deviltry of the sans culottes were a triile 'oo harrowing to be pleasant. Besides the weather was too cold to enjoy anything. There will be a joint debate of the Euphradian and Clariosophic Societies on Thursday evening. Messrs. W. C. Pvoctnn nf Polnmhia. and V. M.

Buchanan of your town is president of the Euph radian Society. A slight snow fell here last nijjfht and the weather is clefcr and cold today. It looks as if we will have a cold winter. i>. Objection to the Trade Dollar. ! ?A great many requests have been received from the West and South for legislation which will relieve those sections of the inconvenience arising from the presence of the trade dollar in circulation. They want the trade dollar made the equal of the cart .wheel dollar or else retired fram circulation. Senator Voorhees said that he proposes ! to bring this matter rp in the finance j committee, and intimated that he would further a bill retiring the trade dollar from circulation.
