James Simmons), took, the Chair; when the Journal of the lAst daxyof the prior session was read and . pproveel! The Speakerauinitaneed his having is.;ue otn dry writs since the last session, ordering etee tions to fil. vacancies. The certificntes of election of the foll6wing naimed gentlenen was presentd and they appear in, were duly qualified; lions. A. G. Camp bell, I. M. Butler, John 11. Felder, John Max well. A certificate was presented from the manager. of Edgelield )istrict, setting forth that John C. Allen had received n majorty of the votes count -d, but owing to some informality in the elee tion, :a protest had been made against his being returned.

Tompkins,) had rights which should be respected, and which claimed all due respect. 31r. It. L Tillinghast spoke- hi favor of the anendment as right and proper.

The certificate of a majority of votes in favor t f Mr. Aller, though all nihght not have been counted from sonic informali:y, should be primafacie evidence of his title to a seat. The election district Phould not be deprived of its representatio'. Mar. C. P1. Sullivan regarded the people of .Edg-efied as entitled to be heard, by the admis sion of their representatives, aid let his oppo nent wake his case out if he can before the committee. The papers 1-resented show a ma jority of votes in favor of Mr. Allen, and 0 - say who the uncounted votes were cast for therefore hoped the amendment wou: adopted.

WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 7, 1853. ri DID our readers know,how utterly and incon testibly busy we have been fo the last few days, they would readily excuse this we.:ks dereliction in the editorial department of the A, erdiier. The absence of our lucubrations, however, is well made up by our correepondent'. For the rest, we have selected various passages of interest, Legislative and so on, which must suffic.- whether it will or not.

O- Friday evening, (th 2nd inst',; as half past 7 o'clock, this aged matro and remarkable woman breathed her last at the :esi+ltee of her sot, and only surviving chlad, H. lion. A. P. BUTLER. Mrs. Bz-eu~A~oFoo-r -vrt.za: was the relict ol Gen. Wu. BC-rLER of -Revolution. She had lived throngh the dark ..nd perilous days of her country's history, had witnessed the career of that country's greatnes ini all its mtatttionse, had come down to the fourth' generation of American, freteen full of those honors which ever cluster around the brow of fearless integrity, and fell asleep at last with a calmness and confidence characteristic only of one who has led a long life of probity and usefulness. She was bor.n Viginia. in the year 1764, but had lived ,rnurrearly youth in this. sectiiofz of South Carotina. when the decree went forth that the ineasure of het duties was full and the servant was called to het reward. We feel1 conscious of na exaggeration, when we say that 3Mrs. BU'ra was one of the most extraordi nary women of her time. She was an unfailinli friend of the poor, a firm monitor of the heecs, a devoted patriot and an humble believer it Christ. 11er mind was active and distcriminating, tier judg ment sound, hcr impulses noble, and ther fortitude unbending. Thus constituted, shme was at onceth stern guardian of her household and a genuine orna moent of society.--But we designed no eulogistic re marks at this time. The duty of portraying thc, strong anad elevated character of our subject will be pteasing and a useful one to some other writer. An.l we trust it wilt he done in a manner which shall properly preserve for posterity so striking anexemiplar. Peace be with thme ashes of the dead !

AA L YNCver-rr S- -o i an .0~ WM O N TI OlS. Fol 4- APV4*1iSER. COLO MIA, Dec. 3, 1853. Mr. Es ron: Having business in the Court of Appeals, I took occasion to 4isit the halls of our Legislature now in Session, and found the Meibers as busy as bees, but whether in the service of them selves or of their constituents, the sequel will show. It is certain, however, that they have various pro jects which savour greatly of selfishness and folly, without a phase of reason or jistice, to say nothing of wisdom and statesmanshii to palliate or excuse them. A Mr. - of St. Parish introduced a bill to sell the property beloing 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 wantof food and raitnent. I had thought that the Cowmsioners for Edgefield District had gone to tho ult natuiti of derelietion in duty by permitting unserupvious Shylocks to prey upon the public-spoilb, until Igw men calling upon the Legislature to exonorate Commissioners from any further care of their paers, and thus leave them to starve, literally to stare-or be driven out upon other Parishes and Districts. 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 eet the execration or all, if not from more elevat and more humane sentimtnts of the heart, at 1] t from policy, involv as it dots a gross fraud upon other Distriets. Another project is to diminish the number of peremptory challenges fromiwenty to eight. This law is designed to consult the special benefit of the Parishes without regard to the condition and in terests of the Districts. As the law now stands, only twenty-four Jurors dt*of the forty-eight are impanneled, and the acus d is required to go through these with Iis chal nge, beginning with Jury No. 1. -It follows thter ure, that four Jurors are assigned to the accused ithout any reference to his interests or wishes. Ad if you will suppose him to exercise his right of liallenging twenty in the panel, the other eight wh -h are to try him are obtained according to an see ental order made by the Sheriff and Clerk, over , hich the accused ii; no control. This law is founded in a just and hu mane spirit, and operates v'y justiy in the I)s tricts. It nmy not do so iii fie Parishes because of their limited territory and' sparse populatin, on account of which forty-eight Jurors are schion in attendance at Court. But not so with us. The forty-eight always attend ia the Districts, and the Solicitor has the power of Cliallenging ad libilum. In place of altering the lawiaadapt it to the special or capricious wants of the 1trishes, I must be al lowed to say that a more ptx'inanent good would be derived to the State by breaking up the Parish system altogether, which gives to the low-country an unjust advantage in repi1sentation. There are various other projeCts, such as a bill to abolish all laws prohibitingusu'ry, and to leave each one t9 his contract. It is iurrising that this bill should be the project of a-inan who has character for intelligence and integiTihj. Whether lie lis any money at interest or notIjI could not learn. It sounds very specious to say " leave every one to hit contract." But upon looking at it more closely, it is no better than to leave every one to his own course without any restrainti of legislation. When a man stakes his fortune upon a ganm at cards, is it not his deliberate and positive contract? - But yet its is a vicious practice which the law -wisely restraIns. Xnd is it less wiso to put a re straiint upon~ the absorbing ird sordid desir.-s tof the Iunfeeling usurer who wouzl4 profit lby the neessities of his fellow-mm. It is very natural for thes monied men to imiag ine that therre very e'onscientious and aire on their way to Heaven rejoicing ! But the future very probably will show their di mnensio~ns tr, be too large tr etnter that " narrow gate' ..i.:u-14ara .7 ..hielh they ba.*-a t'the. So far a~ fervutioir-gan., M.cse rabidl usurers are the most unworthy-the imost ptrettend iiig-presumnptuous-and heartless men in society. and therefore the mtost needful of the whole..ome restraints of the law. But I will enlarge upon t~ais topic hereafter if I should thiink proper. I mienn by tusurer not one who, bimplly charges unkiwf iI per ccent-but one who kmtks out for necessites, and presses downs accordingly. - -rThere is a bill also, to require each surety of an Administrator to be worth double the cbttate of thea 'intestate. This is a nmonstroits projtet ! Th'le result will be to allow oinly a few wealthy men to take charge of erery important estate., no matter how inditferent lie may feel in respect to the wtlFare oh the distributees. There are several other oi trages in contemplla lion upono which I will not no'v antimadlvrt. Let it suffice to say that there arte two prinisetit tenl dencies in the Legislature. One is to alter the *general law-the other to set antler piublhe money. There never will be a edn;:rative and reliable Legislatuire constituted, unti; the petople learn to elect their representatives fruim the imore inte.ligencmt *andi informed citizens, and :hen conitiniue thema longer in office. It takes a mia-i aibout two years to learn the routine of business, let himt be ever so apt and industrious. I hope thesefore, that our pre. sent members will continue so serve us, as they seenm to be workin~g men. TI-ey very frankly ad mit however, that they need a awyerof good sense to consult with, and one who e~m " speak in ptublic on the stage.' As a good law, I would suggesat that Charleston be gieen a reduced and fixed nt-mber of reptreseunta lives. She has now very worthy and honest men (with two or three verj palpseble and mortifying excteptions) to represent her in the llouse. llut as a matter of self-defence against partial legislat'on anad local power and influence, f.think it would be well to limit andh lix the numiber, of her Represeni tatives. Ytu may hear fromt nie againi, if I take a notion, for I have ntot said onte-half. Yours truly, SPECTA TOR. roi TinE AOvEatTISEtt. "KEEEP COOL." DErEND upon it, there's' nothing liket it in the many vexatious tribulations to whicht poor human nature is subjected. Isa that man called you a scoundrel, or a liar, or told a story on your wife ? Well, keep cool, don't pitch iste him like a " thou sand of brick ;" you may hurt' yourself worse thtan the offender. The best way doubtless would be not to notice the scamp, but if ho wiil crowd upon you and you must have a difficulty with him, do the thing decently, with the dignity becoiming a gen temtan. " Keep cool," if your servant has been disitbe dient or imnpuundent. Do' eatch up a fence-rai in your bliind fury and lay him ouct, else he may have to be laid out again by tnore tendler hands, atird, your anger appeased, you will stand by anid weep scalding tears over your rolly. Keep cool, and give him a genteel thrashsirg, and you will find your self-respeet wenderfully . itnerenised, and lie will be taught a wholesome Iceor., that nmay for a long time save you the necessity of again, going through with such a disagreeable operation. Does your wife get into a pet beeause you areI out later at night thtan becomes one holding the responsible post of " Head of the family ?" Well, in all probability shte is right; bet right or wrong,t " keep cool." There's notidng~ t-: be made out of Xantipean ladies bf' getting ted -n the face, amnd tamnping oav the fluor, and stresriag you are your own? man, andl yoU'll go' where you phease and i eme back when you get reMly, Jitst walkh up with, i smffe an gire her a kiss, or a fen of themi if< you can hold her long enough, andi tell hecr you'll get that bonnet she faneird so muh th~e other dayt when cyou protested-nguinst, her extravaganee ; could'nt afford it, 'twas out of the question. (That same day you came home in the evening, rejoicing in the set of a bright " Beebee." expect ing to be eomplimented oem your improved appeat ance. Ha! ha was not somebody in the sulks that evening, and did not somnebudy else go down the front steps boiling with wrath, or mayhnaps with the feeling of a certain aninal that had recently undergone the operation of having his couial ap pendage " ernpped.") Well-, Al this- mifght have been avoided if yon only hnd " kept cool," so learn a couple of lessos fromm the circumstance. First, be generous to your wife, and affiord a reasonable indulgence to her fancies. And if sie is unreaso ble in her wishes, by all means " keep cool," don't rip and shine and kick the elairs over, and seare the cat out of the house, and set all the dogs to barking. " Keep cool," I say, and give her time to cool off too, and then sit down lile a gentleman and reason with her. Ten to one she will agree to everything and then go cheerfully to put things tit rights, while you will walk up the street with the comaplacent feeling of not having amade 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 ufi and look at it, and in a short time you may, amidt the annoyanees of a life that is " vanity and vexa ion of slirit," be able to acquire that quiet and d3ignified demeanor which results from keeping MR. TIM ADVKaTISPR. Mm1. Em-rot: I understand that eltforts are being made to obtain mignatures to a petition for a rechar ter of the incorporation of this town. I sincerely hope tle Petitioners will fail in their object. If we couhl be governed and treated as citizens of any other village in the world, I should have no objee tione whatever. But air, it is a fact, the trtth of which is daily established, that so proud and inmo lent has a "little brief authority" made a small clique of property hlers here, that they seem tio prefer like their areh protetype, to " reign in lHell than serve in leaven." The actions of onr Town Council for a few years past has rendered tihe name of Warden so odious, that few men of feeling woUl take the oflice, were it nct for the fine in posed on them in case of refusal. 1 lence it is that you searcely ever see a popular man in offlice, foe his friends will to save his feelings refuse him their smffirtc. Some of our Wardens, a majerity of them, seem to aet as if they rere above the law-making power of the State-responsible alone to the small amount of conscience left remaining itt their august bodies. The cit'zens of the District when drawn here oni business are continually annoyed and per plexed. If one should ignorantly voLite cinle oi their unpublished ordinnces, they are down on him instanter, Uke a thousanl ef brick, while a farored one may cut up such 0hines as lie pleases, send they are still and hushtedl silent as de-;th. Moreover, those who thus claim the " right divine to reign over us" do sometimes act unlawfully. It is not propper therefore, to style them Slomons or Suons, but rather, inl many imstatces, Nero's, They have taxed the inhabitants four dollars as a C. ampoueecnd for rend duty.

If it were necsstry to mnake an apology fur his faults, it wold be found n the se- facts. If there were not some such men humnit affnirs would stagnate. It was interesting to observe the cifect of the Christian religion on this massive charaeter. It had curbed the passimr", contraled the wAl, softened the heart, and turned the forces of his nature into the chan nel of rectitude and piety. A profound conscious ness of his intirniities somni Cities possessed hil ; and it was touclhing to witness the penitential and ehlidlike simplicity wk a hieA. he woald confess t'hem.. The deceaSeJ acted well his part in i:&e. Con neing, as I have said in peinniless orphatiage, by industry, economy, and uprightniess, he atmassed a good estate: and introduced a large family, on the stage of l:fe, in circumstances of competency. lie educated theim intelleeltiliy in a superior way, for the times and the country in which Ie lived. And what kind of religious and ioiral training he gave them, I need not say, for they are, and have been your neighbors. Father Srzstsen was alwsys on th,, right .idc of every luestion, itoral, religiois, or po!itieal, which he undIerstool. If lie sonetimes made mistakes, no tine thought of attributing it to wrong motive". And what is more, lie was fearlessly on the rigl.t side. C,.n -ejuctnces never vtaggpred himn, for a mu nient, when hg hail once decided what was right. Ile had been a member of tie Baptist Church just fifty years, and nine (lays; the la-t nineteen vears lie wits connected with the Provi-lence Church where lie wtill now be buried. Ile has ever been recognised as one of the pillars of the Church, both in this Sitatef and in South Caro!ina. The great imiea which pervailed his whole being anl absorbed all othrs, during the last years of his life, was die contemplation of the political, moral. and reiigious movemetits of the ties, and the rapidly improvitig facilities of international commu nicnti..n, as ushering in that day when the world shall be the willin'; subljeets of Messiah's reign. lie often dwelt with enthusiasim on this subject in convarsation with the ,.peaker, repoeating the 67th i'ahin as cantnining a compreheisive and beautiful prediction of those tilmies. Ilow nich of reverential affietion the commumi tv entertained f..r the de enased, is apparent in the very term by which lie was u:mformly designated, ''Father SrascEa." The esteem in which his family lield him was unusual ; and I speak what is true in my own ease, andl what I know from the manner of athers, when I Ony that outide 4#f his own faiily lie was bcarcely less an object of rever ence aid love, than with-it it. We all know that behind a certain patriarchal se-verity of imanner, there was a great, honest, benevolet and pious hei t. The deceased was remarkable for his clear ani evanlgelici.1 views of the lp'ain of salvation ; and the child-like trust with which lie reposed on the gre at atonteiment. Illis habitual state of nmini had for ysirrs been, that it were better to be absent from the bady, and to be present with the Lord Yet if it were Oid's will for him to stay he was cointent ; ani alm1st the very last days of his life were spent in atteniptitig to devise atial do sqmine thing for God, a li, had, lie supposed, spared him to lisa 84th year for sonic such purpose.
