Carroll, (both of whose remarks want of space preventi us frot giving in this paper;) and, after the pas mngle of Resolutions of respect, &c., the Senate adjourned until 2 o'-lock to-morrow. IN THE IIOUSE.-At the hour of 1 o'clock m., the Clerk, H. J. De.n, Esq., called the roll, and a quorum of menabers was found t be in -attendance; whereupon the Speaker (tl:e Han. James Simmons), took. the Chair; when the Journal of the lAst day.of the prior session was read and: p.provet The Speaker:anannced his having is.uea'un dry writs since the last session, ordering eee tit'mn to fill. vacanes. The certifizates of election of the foll6wing namted gentleniv was presentd and they appear. ing., were dnli, qualified ; lons. A. G. Camp bell, 1. M. Butler, John. 1. Felder, John Max well. A certificate was presented from the manager4 of Edgetield )istrict, setting forth that John C. Allen had received a majority of the votes count. vd, but owing to some infbrnmality in the elec. lion, a protest had been made against his being returned. A motion that the matter be laid on tie table was carried. But, at a subsequent pe ii.,d, a motion to take up the subject ,.ro-a..iled. The protest and other rapers in relation to said election were read. Mr. J. I. Middleton, of Prince George, moved to refer the pipers to the Committee on Priile ges and Elections. 31r. W. F. ilutson. of Beaufort district, moved ,rn amendment, proposing that J. C. Allen, esq., be qualilied and admitted to a seat. Mr. Middleton opposed the amendment, and itarrated sundry irregularities in the election in justification of hi. po.ition. le regarded it as the safer mode of sett ling the matter to let it go, in confirmity with u-age, to the approj riate com mittee. Tic. oatestant (Mr. S. 8. Tompkins,) had rights which should be respected, and which elaiined all duo respect. Mr. R. L Tillinghast spoke- in favor of the amendment as right and proper. He feared the adoption of the principle of keeping gentlemen frem their seats upon a mere protest might work serious inconvenience, as it might be carried to any extent. lie oppo ed the motion to refer to a committee not yet constituted. The certificate of a majority of votes in favor t f Mr. Aller, though all miiaht not have been counted from some informali-y, should be prima facie evidence of his title to a seat. The election district sthould not be deprived of its representatio-. Mr. C. P. Sullivan regarded the people of .Edgefield as entitled to be heard, by the admis sion of their representatives, and let his oppo. nett tanke his case out if he can before the committee. The papers presented show a ma jority of votes in favor of Mr. Allen, and O say who the uneounted votes were cast for therefore hoped the amendment won-; adopted. The amerdment was adopted, and Mr. .*. accordingly qualified and took his seat. On motion of Mr. Read, of Winyah, th appointed a' committee of three, consis: Messrs.

WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 7,1853. e' DiD our readers knowphow utterly and incon testibly busy we have been for the last few days, they would readily excuse this weks dereliction in the editorial department of the A, ertiser. The absence of our lucubratidns, however, is well made up by our correspondents. For the rest, we have selected various passages of interest, Legislative and so on, which must suflic,- whether it will or not. EOw Wa have received a zommunication from Mr. Jous TomPrsss, of Sumter, 41a., but are necessarily -emapetled to delay its puli--ation untir our next issue. Death'of Irs. Beb--thland Poote Butler. Os Friday evening, tth "2nd inst,)i as half past 7 o'clock, this aged matro- and remarkable woman breathed her last at the :esi-l-,ce of her i, and only surviving chid, .Hon. A. P. BUTLa. Mrs. B-cuLAND.FOOTE .t-rite was the relict of Gen. Wx. BUTL.Ea of - Revolution. She had lived th~rottgh the dark a.d perilous days of ber' country's history, had witnessed the career of that country's greatness in all its mutations, badl come down to the foturth generation of Amiericarn fremen full of those honors wich ever cluster around the brow of fearless integrity, and fell asleep at last with a cahnaness and confidence characteristic only of one whto has led a tong life of probity and usefulness. She ~ of Souh Carolina. when the decree went forth' that the measure of hier .dnties was full and the servant was catted to tier reward. We feel conscious of na exaggeration, when we say that Mrs. BUTLR~m was one of the most extraordi. nary women of her time. She was an unfailing friend of the poor, a firm monitor of the heedtcss, a devuted patriot and an humble believer In Christ. 11cr mind was active anid dietrrimsinating, tier judlg meat sound, her impulses noble, and tier fortitude unbending. Thtus constituted, she was at once the stern guardian of her household and a genuine orna taunt of society.-But we designed no eulogistic re marks at this time. The ditty of portraying the strong andI elevatedl character of our subject will be a pleasing and a useful uone to some other writer. Andl we trust it wilt be done in a manner which shall properly preserve for posterity so striking anexeniphar. Peace be with the ashes of the dead ! There has passed away here one of the very last of the women of the Revolution ! Death of our Post MEaster. Wxs regreL to atnnounace the death of DANrrr.

At a regular meeting of Kimbrough Lodge, No. 118, A. Y. M., otn the 2d of November, A. L 5853, it was resolved that at committee be appoiinted to draft suitable resolutions as a tribute of respect to the memory of our de eased brother, James Mencehum. Whereas, it has pleased the Supreme Grand Master of the Universe, to remove from among us by death, our esteemed and wvorthy brother, James Meachumn, for the first time severing the Masoii chain in our Lodge, depriving us of a beloved brother, and the community of a valua ble and exemplary citizen. Resoired, That in the dea-th of our brother, James Mlenehum, the fi-aterntity has sustafined an irrteparable loss; as a friend and brother, he was frank, open and generous; as a Mason, exem plary ; as a husband, kind and affectionate ; as a father, fond and devoted. Resoil ed, That wve sincerely rsymupathise with the widow and orphans of our departed brother in their sad bereavement. Resol red, That the inembers of this Lodger as a token of the respect and esteem they feel for the memory of our deceased brother, will wear the usuail badge of mourning thirty days, and otur Lodge be clad in the habiliments of moturning sixty days. Resohlve, That the above be pubelted in the Coltmabus papers, and a e-opy of the same be sent to the famey of the deceased, VAkLgamNE PxE, C. C. Baooxs, Committee. Ask LYxcu. - - - f-.;e.37 COLVI A, Dec. 3,-1853. Mr. Eiroa: Hvirig business in the Court of Appeals, I took oension to'visit the halls of our Legislature now in Session, and found the Members as busy as bees, but whether in the service of them selves or of their coiustituents, the sequel will show. It is certain, howe-ver, that they have various pro jects which savour greatly of selfishness and follyr without a phase of reason or jistice, to say nothing of wisdom and statesmansh t to palliate or excuse them. A Mr. - of St.- Parish introduced a bill to sell the property belosing to the Commis sioners of the Poor In said Parish, alleging as a reason that their poor -were not fed and clothed, but suffered to famish for waii(of food and rainent. I had thought that the Comm'jsioners for Edgeflield District had gone to the ult natumn of derelietion in duty by permitting unsorup ous Shylocks to prey upon the public-spoils, until f w men calling upon the Legislature to exonorate Commissioners from any further care of their pa rs, and thus leave them to starve, literally to state-or be driven out upon other Parishes and Ditriets. It is hard to say whether. this project in lves more of inhu manity than of injustice. t it is to be hoped that the selfish device will ect the execration of all,if not from more elevat and more humane sentimtnts of the heart, at I t from policy, involv as it does a gross frati upon, other Districts. Another project is to diginish the number of peremptory challenges fromienty to eight. This law is designed to con.;ult thLj special benefit of the Parishes without regird to the condition and in terests of the. Districts. As the law now stands, only twenty-four Jurors' otriof the forty-eight are impanneled, and the A'eus a is required to go through these with his chal ngc, beginning with Jury No. 1. It follows ther ure, that four Jurors are assigned to the accused ithout any reference to his interests or wishs'. Ald if you will suppose him to exercise his right of hallenging twenty in the panel, ihe other eight wh Ih are to try him are obtained according to an aeo ental order made by the Sheriff and Clerk, aver ,hich the accused ha.s no control. This law i% fou ed in a just and un mane spirit, and operltes v y just'y in the Dis triEcts. It may not do so in se Parishes beca:se of their linsited territory an sparse population, on account of which forty-eight Jurors arc seldomn in attendance at Court. But not so with us. The forty-eight always attend iathc Districts, and the Solicitor has the power of eialleniging ad ubiinm. In place of altering the law*ldadapt it to the special or capricious wants of te rishes, I must be al lowed to say that a more pe, anent good would be. derived to the State ty breaking up the Parish system altogether, which ives to the low-country an unjust advantage in iejstsentation. There are various other projects, such as a bill to abolish all laws prohibitinglustiry, and to leave each one tp his contract. It is sumprising that this bill should be the project of a-idan who has character for intelligence and integgy'. Whether he has any money a.t interest or nolI could not learn. It sounds very specious to say "leave every one to his contract." But upon looking at it nore closely, it is no better than to leave every one to his own course without any restraints of legislation. When a itan stakes.his fortune upon a game at cards, is it not his deliberate and positive contract ? But yet its is a vicious practice which the law wisely restrain.. iKd Is it. less whee to put a re strasint upothe absoi-bing And sordid dcesires of the unsfcelini usurer who woul4 profit lby the n-:essities of Ihis fellow-m.n.. It is very natural for these mionied men to imnag ine that theapre very consctious amnd are on their way to IHeaven rejoicing ! But the futusre very probably will show their di miensions tro be too large tc niter that " niarrow gal e' ...tLsL.....L4enn- ' ..isL hih they La - title. Eo far asmyo,4vatior-goam, jiese rabid usurers are the miost unworthsy-thse miost prietenid ing-presumptuous-andl heartless smens ini society. and thserefore thse most needful of thec wholesnome restraints of thse lasw. But I will enlarge upons this topie hereafter if I should thsiunk proper. I means by su~rer not onse whoa simsply charges utdoiwful per cent-but osne who looks out for necessities, asnd presses downs accordinsgly. There is a bill also, to requtire each surety of ans Admsinistrator to be wor~th double the estate of the initestate. This is a muonstrous project ! TIhse result will be to allow onsly a few wealthy men to take charge of every important estate, no simtter hsow inditie'rent he ssay feel in respect to the welfare ot the distributees. Thsere are several othser outrages in contemplla tioan supon whichs I will not sow anissm.dve rt. Let it suffice to say thsat there are two pruossmnelt ten denscies in the Legislatur. One is to, alter the general law-the ofther to isquander putble money. Thecre never will be a ecnserva tive aund reliable Legislature constituted, until the people learn to elect thseir representmatives froms the morein inte:higenst and informed citizens, and then cositinsue thems longer in office. It takes a sman about two ycars to learn the routine of businses, let hsium he ever so apt and iuilustrious. I hope tflesrefore, that our pre sent members will continue to serve us, as they seem to be working msen. They very frankly asd mit however, that they nseed a lawyerof good sese to consult with, and one whoe can " speak in public on the stage." As a goodl law, I would suggest that Charlestos be given a reduced and fixed numiber of repiresensta tives. Shse las now very worthy asnd hsonest msen (with two or three ver; pa'pable and mortifying exceptions) to repsresent hser In the liouse. But as a msatter of self-defence against partial legislation and local power and influened, I thsink it would be well to limit amid lix thle nunmber of hser Riepresens tatives. You may hecar fromt ine again, if I take a notion, for I have not said one-half. Yours truly, SPECT ATOR. roa TnlE ADvF.aTi5Ea,.

There's nothing to be made ouit of Xantipean ladies bf' getting ted in thte face, amd stping do the dloor, and sweving you are your wil man, amal you'll go' where you pienise and ane back~ when you gelt eadyr. btst ttalk up with smife ana gs'vo hier a fiss, of a dozen of thems if yeol can hold her long enofugh, and tell hser you'll et that bonnet. she fanced n.mech .~a other day wheny ou protested :.gainst- her extrayagan e, could'nt afford it, 'was out of ihe question.

Ha! har was not somebody in the sulks that evening, and did not somebody else go dlown the front steps boiling with wrath, or nmaylps with the feeling or a certain anineal that had recently undergone the operation of having his coulal ap pendage " ernpped.") Well, all this- might have been avoided if yon only had " kept cool,"" so learn a couple of lessoens fromt the circumstance. First, be generous to your wife, and afirrd a reasonable indulgence to her fancies. And if she is unreasonn ble in her wishes, by all means "keep cool," don't rip and shine and kick the chairs over, and scare the cat out of the house, and set all the dogs to barking. " Keep cool," I say, and give her titme to cool off too, and then sit down lifTe a gentleman and reason with her. Ten to one she wil agree to evrything and then go cheerfully to put things to rights, while you will walk up the street with the complacent feeling of not having nade a fool of yourself. Now don't forget this advice, but cut out the caption and stick it in your hat, and whenever you perceive your angry passions rising, pull off and look at it, and in a short time you may, anilt the annoyances of a life that is " vanity and vexa tion of spirit," be able to acquire that quiet and dignified demeanor which results from keeping FOR TilE ADVICKTIsPR. MI. Emeat : I understand that el'orts are being made to obtain signatures to a petititon for a rechar ter of the incorporation of this town. I sincerely hope the Petitioners will fail in their object. If we could be governed and treated as citizens of any other village in the world, I should have no objec tion whatever. But air, it is a fact, the truth of which is daily established, that so proud and inno lent has a " little brief authority" made a small clique of property hlers here, that they seems tuo prefer like their nrch protoitype, to "1 reign in Hell than serve in lczven." The actions oif our Town Council for a few years past has rendered the name of Warden so odious, that few nec of feeling woU!d take the office, ere it not for the flue int posed on them in ca: .f refusal. I lence it is that you searcely ever see a popular man in oflice, fr his friends will to save his feelings refuse him their suffrage. Some of our Warlens, a majority of them, seem tonet an if they were above the law-making power of the Statc-responsible alone to the smuall amount of conscience left renaining in their august bodies. The cit'zens of the District when drawn here on business are continually annoyed and per plexed. If one should ignorantly violate one of their unpublished ordinances, they are down on hin instanter, Uke a thousanl of brick, while a farored one tay cut up such shines nas lie pleases, and they are still and hushed silent as ded-th. Moreover, those who thus claim the "right divine to reign over us" do sometimes act unlawfully. It is not proper therefore, to style them So!oions or Soluns, but rather, in many instances, Nero's. They have taxed the inhabtants four dollars as a e- mpeound for roa:d duty. This I suppaase is right enough, as th- y have the power, and do not have that amount to pay themselves. But does the law of South Carolina give them the power to c'mpoiund for Patrol Duty ? Nathinn of this nature is mentiotned in their charter of in carporatio'n, yet t'-ey have taketn five doliars in lieu of the pierfoarmancee of that duty. Msinisters of the Goaspel have been known tea fail e'ither in patrelinag thaemse'lves or in senditag a sub stitute, yet thaey have esaeae sceat free.

And what kind of religiouE and samral training he gave them, I need not say, for they are, and have been your neighboors. Father Srzacpa was always on the right side of every question, moral, religious, or po!itieal, which he undevrtood.

The great idea which pervadel his whole being and absorbed all oth.rs, during the last years of Iis life, was the contelamplation of the political, moral, and religimus movements of the times, anl the rapielly improvioig facilities of international commn nieati..n, as ushering in that day when the world shall be the. willing snbjects of Mesish's reign. lie often dwelt with enthusisin (in this subject in convi rsation with the speaker, repeating the 67th Plmnhn as containing a comprehensive and beautiful prediction of those time".
