U,4 * PROGRESSING SLOWLY" Law-making in the palmetto state proceeding quietlyChief Interest Centered in the Choice of United State* Senator?An Accot lit of the I'misual Contest?Other Items of ; Interest. Columbia, S. C., Dec. 13.?Special: 'I he condition and progress of the Vork of law-making lor the people of fcouth Carolina, as indicated in the last .titer of this correspondence, have Jcund their parallels in the course of1he peoceedings since-my last report, i he past week has not been fruitful of important measures. And when it is remembered that about thre*--fourths of the usual session has already elapsrd, there naturally arises the wish for some explanation"of this decidedly unusual course of things. Such explanation would seem to be found in conditions incident to the newness of the body, and to some of the particular "work which it has been called on to jerform. The first week may be said 1 n pppn nfmiriiorl lorrrclv trith tVi? organization of the two" houses: the second with the inauguration of the new Governor; and the third with the lection of United States Senator. Of course these three prominent matters have not engaged the entire time of ihe Assembly. But it is none the less true that the" scope and character of .cgislation have been such as to make |^ that legislation appear but as incident jfiBBT to the three leading subjects cn which nf the members minds seem to have been chiefly fixed. However difficult it may V be to assign causes for this condition of W things, the fact remains tnat there has P been more of routine work?more of local or uninteresting legislation?and itss eonsiueration 01 very important measures, than in the same period of any session since the Democrats regained control of the State government. It is especially noticeable that thtre has been little or nothing done on the line of the practical suggestions contained in the Governor's inaugural, or of the "demands" embodied in the platform of the March Convention. Already there is considerable talk of a recess for the Christmas holidays, the session to be resumed early in January, and to be prolonged as the public interests shall seem to demand. TIIE SENATORIAL RACE. Great interest has centered upon the flection nf a !?N<aniit-nr rif tlin T'nitor) 1 rotates to succeed General Hampton. It was thought that a caucus of those de- 1 siring a chaDge would so concentrate i that element that there would be but two candidates, the incumbent and the 1 caucus nominee. It appeared impossi- 1 ble for the caucus to perform the cus- , tomary work of such an assemblage, ; two candidates in opposi tion to the incumbent?Col. J. L. M. Irby, of Laurens, and Col. M. L. Donaldson, the Senator from Greenville. 1 The latter was distinctively the Alii- j ance candidate, though fully in accord j ! with the new administration. Col. j Irby was the administration candidate. | and himself an active and prominent j Alliance man. 1 Perhaps the best attainable idea of the character of the content between the supporters of General Hampton ; ; ana those whose preference lav in j another direction may be gathered J from the nominating speeches. Of ^g-^g^^^s^^following art severally signi- j of sentiment in pleasure to have ; ^nomination a 1 cause of the Piefonrn5?!!!Wr?cyof this ? State. A gentleman grounued* in the * principles of the Alliance and a stronir advocate of its demands. A successful ' an:'progressive farmer, young, brave, . intelligent and in every 'respect a rep- 1 resentative man, who if elected will ? make us a United States Senator of j whom all the State will be proud. I ' nominate the Hon. J. L. M. Irby. of 5 Laurens." j .Mr. kinard, ot iiugehekl: i am ^ proudtosaythatlrise to second the )? nomination of my friend, J. L. M. 1 Irby." ! . 3dr. Fuller: i4As a citizen of Laurens , County I take pleasure in seconding ! ^ the nomination of the Hon. J. L. M. irby." t Mr. Bissell, of Charleston: *-I alsode- j \ sire as a Representative from Charles-1 ton to join in seconding the nomina-1 ] tion of the distinguished gentleman ' from Laurens, and in doing so I am 1 filled with embarrassment and dismay. , rri*?c M'rr?!inictoTu?o T mtintinn rr*ntlr?.. * jLJuik? vnv/uuioiauv/^ x &v.ii?iv men, not as an idle apology for an of- * fort that cannot be a speech of either praise or censure, but as a call upon you to supply the defects of that effort by a double exercise of your attention. Col. Irby is presented to'this body as an example, and as a representative of the young, intelligent, robust manhood of the South. Splendidly educated within the venerable walls of Princeton, pos- j sensed as he is with a manly form and | undaunted character, he would infuse ! new blood into the Senate, an honor to ! his party, a protector of the people's j privileges and the Commonwealth's j nrprocruf}rps ' 1 v? ' vv* "Toan unprejudiced mind all these! accomplishments lift his figure with jJ all the majesty of an ancient statue j ' towering above the meaner and smal-} * ler passions of the world around him, I* and as we study more and more the ' regularity and uniformity of his na- I s ture, we rejoice to know that he is a son |' of Carolina, an exesi^ir of just rea- 1 soning, a guardian of pesce and im-11 partiality, one who has nevef'felt the j1 touch of a mean ambition. As a yotinsr. man interested in the future o'f my j I State I heartily second the nomination |;i of Mr. Irby and feel sure that if this j 1 General Assembly in its wisdom sees | * lit to send him to the United States ! > Senate his career there will be of such ! t renown and glory as shall be diffused j throughout the Union. 1 second, with i e crroiit ?>lo?iciiru t?if> nnniinatifin of thf> ! V Hon. J. L. M. Irby. of Laurens." i c Mr. McLaurin,of Marlboro: "A man j j would be less than ilesh and blood who i i could be insensible to the traditions of | i South Carolina. No man could excel \ him, he said, in his admiration for the j i hero of which the gentleman from > s L-aaneston uau just sputveu, urn mnr : ?i were other questions which enter into 11 the consideration of this matter. A i i wise caliph of Arabia said once that j f young men were more like the age in i: which they lived than like their fata- v ers.

Every !i Inile stone which marks the progress t of Anglo-Saxon rights has been accom- b panied by revolutions in times past, by v revolutions of bloodshed and violence. s Such a revolution unattended by blood il . shed the people of South Carolina and o L nf th#?-vhnlp 1'nifoii h:n] ii passed through. The issues were fair- i ii ||||l ly made up at the taiioi box. If 1 was n III asked to name some of them I would f S?L say that the people of South Carolina y rapkfelt that they had ceased to be the :nas^^akers. They felt that the power which p ||w right was theirs had eluded th*-ir i SfsB^sp. I am not prepared to say I ^j-hor they were right or wrong, but ; v ^||jattested the desire at tae ballot \ box that their representatives >hou!d feel their direct responsibilities in carrying out the gri-a*. economic- and reform principles involved lr: the campaign. "So l'ar jis T run f*nncf?r?h? L if 1 .-on i sidered it merely a personal matter there is no nmii in South Carolina, or the woild. who won!-J get mv ballot before Wade Hampton; but I cannot consider it a personal matter. 1 think i the issues have boen made up and we J are pledg< d to the people upon these j | issues. Therefore I second the nomi- j j nation of J. L. M. Irby, a representa-| tiveof the young Democracy of the State. 1 present him to you,"not as an | untried man, but as the man who with j a clear eve and steady hand held the | helm of "ship of State through all these trying months and guided it through the rocks aiici shallows into what I confidently hope will be a haven of rest." Mr. Jones, of Lancaster: "I rise to express :i hope that the nomination just seconded will triumph on the lloor to-day. The wheel of'progress has moved forward and we must elect a man in accord with the sentiments of the day. I will allow no man to outstrip me in my reverence for the past. 1 love I he past of South Carolina, and I love her great men. and when I think of the great hero whose name has been so touchingiy mentioned here to-day the words of Tennysom come liyin^ to my mind: ;,0: L'Ood L'rav head which all men know. 0: voice from which good omen all men drew, 0: iron nerve to true occasion true, A tower of strength which ,-tands Foursquare to all the winds that blow." "Such was Wade Hampton ! But, Mr. Speaker the State of South Carolina has moved forward, and while we will not forget great memories of the past the living: issues of the present demand our attention. "During the great reform movement that swept over this State in August and September on whom were the eyes of the people of South Carolina turned ? When Independentism was about to blot out the fair escutcheon of South Carolina who was it that stood by the State and the Democrat c party V \Yas it Wade Ilamptoan? Was it Donaldson? It was Irby, of Lauiens I think it would be a retrograde movement at the triumph of the party of reform to defeat the man who led that party to victory." Mr. l\L. Hardin, of Chester: ''Mr. Speaker, 1 nominate the true, noble and patriotic Wade Ilamp'.on." Mr. Stanyarne Wilson, of Spartan- , burg: We are here to-day making history for South Carolina. The special order before us to-day propounds the : question: 'What is South Carolina going to do with Wade Hampton? No less distinguished a writer than Macau lay has written that no peopie has | ever continued to be a great people who j was forgetful of or untrue to her j heroes. South Carolina is a great ( State.

At the time in Ueaufort when we were surrounded by dangers ;;s thick as on the battlefield: when only a spark was needed to start a bloo ly conilic', which would have spread from the c ast to the mountains, the word of Hampton was law and we learned that his judgment was invariably best.

"Wade Hampton is to-day, as he has always been in the past, first In war, first in peace and lirst in hearts of his countrymen." Mr. Moonev, of Greenville: "I have never so greatly desired eloquence and the power of words as I do at this moment. i remember, though but a bov, in 'TO horr the mere mention of Hampton's name in any assemblage caused a thrill in the heart of every patriot in that presence. I know that when he stood here in Columbia on the memorable occasion of the contest between the white people of this .State and the Republicans, scalawags and negroes. I know that all over t his grand old country from hearts as pure as God ever created prayers were ascending to His throne for the salvation and redemption of this good people and for the success of the cause which that grand old man advocated and stood by. 1 know, Mr. .Speaker, that when that ; clock tolled 12 to-day, that when the sun reached the meridian, the pulse of thi< ' ami nlil St.nt.M l-ocrnn in h.vit quicker, and I know that the same prayers from the same pure hearts are at this moment, as in '7i5, ascending to the throne of mercy for that grand old hero, Wade Hampton.
