Perry, the bill t< rovide for the election of Electors for Presi ient and Vice President was taken up. Mr. B. F. Perry said he did not intend to make t speech. The House was in possession of th< Aill, and he had so often expressed his views or he matter now before the House that he tool iut'little interest in it. lie would call the attention of the House t< he fact, that before the next Legislature woul< neet the Vote for a President and Vice Presi lent would be cast, and it was for this Legisla re to make the change, or allow the vote of south Carolina to be lost, for he did ngt believi he Governor had the right to convene an extra ession of the Leni.,lature, for the purpose o asting a vote for 'resident and Vice President ,he.Constitution gave the Governor the right t< onvene the Legislature, upon extraordinary oc urrences, and an occurrence which happened :very four years yvas not an extraordinary one and did not warrant the Governor to call an ex ra session, and throw the State into unnecessa y costs. If a change was to be made, now i: he time; various propositions had been made o effect a change, but in his opinion the plan >roposed in the bill now before the House, was he proper. one, it was a plan on the Federa sis, not on a property or popular basis, bu pon a Federal basis, the only true arnd just ba is. It gives to each Congressional district on letor. [Owing to the length of the debates we clos >ur report-TE itRErorTER) SENA TE. FrrDAv, Dec. 7, 1855.

A Bill to establish-.4eademies in IlI State.(reported by .the gpmmittt .on Edue: lion.) On motion of 51r. Tucker, the Bill toimprov the Free School System was taken up for di! Cission. Dir. Tucker.-The nember who mo'ed ye! terday that the Special Order be discharged, an made the Special Order for to-day, is.ot in hi seat; if he were present, he would be entitled t tI floor. .1 to not know whether .he intende to enter into the discussion upon the bill or no I am i:clined to think he did not.

Mr. Blanding.-I hope the House will nc accede to the proposition made by the membe from Spartanburg ; there are two other bills o the table, one reported by the member fror Edgefield, which, in my opinion, i1 a much bette system than the one proposed by the membt i from Spartanburg, and the very system Sout Carolina needs. The Committee on Edncatio thought differently, however, and they had als reported a bill, neither of which the member have had time to rend, and consequmently wer a unprepared to vote. The same courtesy exter ded to the member from Spartanburg, shoul also be extended to the member from Edgefiek Mr. Tucker.-I have no opposition to th other bills which have been reported. They ar eniirely different bills, and do not conflict; ti one is to improve the Free School system, an the other to establish Academies; both may b passed by the House. I only wish to get a vote and dispose of this vexed question, for if we ar overslanghed this time, there will he an end of il If members are earnest in their wish to make reformation in our Free School system, now i the time to do it; if we postpone action on thi matter now, there is then no hope of improve went. I censure no man, for his opinion, and i the bill is to be killed, let it be done at once. insist upon my motion. Mr. Blanding.-If the member has done li duty, it is very certain the rest of nas would no do our duty if we were to vote on the lill it present. The members have not had time to reni and examine the bills. I differ with nay friend his bill does conflict with the hill introduced b; the member from Edgetield-and also with the bil reported by the Committee. I shall move to la; the anotion made by the member from Spartan burg on the table, and also move that the Com mittee now rise, report progress, and ask leav to set again on Monday next, at 2 o'clock p. m Mr. Tucker.-I would suggest the propriet; of making a vote on the bill to-day ; the busines of the House is rapidly aceumulating, and w have grave and important matters to discus: Let us do one thing at a time. I have read tI other bills, for they have been printed and lai upon our tables; they contemplate the establish went of : high order of schools, t hat has nothin to do with the Free School systean. I do no oppose the bill, but if in order, I still insist o my anotion. Mr. Pope.-T voted for this bill Inst year, an in all probability will do if ngain. I cnn see in impropriety in laying thec bill introdued -by th metmber from Spartaaaburg upn the table, noam the other bills hanve been disenasied. If I am forced to a vote now I will lavce to vote agan hais bill, for I hanve not had time to reaid or exan ine into the tmerits of the other bilk~ Mr. Blanding.-I move that thec Comnmitte rise, rep~ort progress, and ask leave to sit agai on Monday next at 1 o'clock p. m. Mr. Thoms.'o.-I do hope thec Commaitte wi rise. 'rhe bills were only pliaced tupona our table this morning, and an ant prepared to vote they evidently do conthiet, thouugha I have nac had tiame to read ti,emn enrefully. Mr. Pope.-i haave been steadily rending th bills, sia they lavce been placed up)oinmy tiabhi aid h~ive not tinishied reading thaenm yet. ;and I a unprepared to vote. I hope the Coummittee wvi rise. The question, "shall the Committee rise? was decided ini the affirnmat ive. Atfler thae Speal or resumed the Chair, Mr. WVilliams reporte that the Comnmittee haad considered tae bills bcn foae thecm, reported progress, and a-ked leave I set again on SMonday naext, at 1 o'clock p. im wivcih report was agreed to. On motion of Mr. Hlammnond, tihe 1101n0 ra solved itself into a Coammittee of the Whaole, i'll Memminger in the CThair, and proceeded to thm consideraltion of the Special Oraler for 2 o'cloc P. M., viz: a bill to provide foar the election c Electors of P'ressident aid Vice-Presidenat of ah .United States, (introduced by i$1r. I). F. P'erry: Mr. Tillman.-Thaere seems to be an haone. difference of opitnioni amlfong the naembers of alh Hlouse as to whetLre the Constitntinal righ grantted by the Constitution of the United State to vote for Electors of President and Vice-Presi deant is vested ; some think it is in the Legiska ture, while othters think it is in the people both are equally righat and equitable. I am on of those who believe that the right is vestedi the people, and not in the Legislature. My first proposition is, that the election Electors ought to be given to the people iaa oi der to prevent corruption in our Legislative be dies. If it is the righmt of thec Legislature South Carolina to vote for Electors, it is equall the right of thae Legislatures of thme other State to do the same ; it is a bad rule thant won't wor both ways. Let uts see what the operatio would be if all the States voted for Electorsi the manaaer Southi Ciarolina does. The whol number of members of both brandhes of tha Legislatures of the several States in the Unin is 4.257; one-half of that number, 2,228, adi 200 or 300 to this, in order to obtain a larg majority, and 2,500 mfenl control the election c President. WVho is the President ? Ta lk abon the power of the Czar of Russia, and of thi decaying glory and lost influence of the Empc ror of Rome, neither of them ever had half s< much power as the President of these Unitel States has; he, and he alone, regulates ani controls all the mighty machinery of this might: Government. lie has thec gift of 35,000 Fede ral officers, and the control of $85,000,000 Party secures the election of President, and hi secures a majority of these members of Coan gress under his control. The gentlemen from St. Jolina's fells us that pressuire of $85,000,000 is too great for flesh t< bear. I admit it. I charge no Legislmature witl corruption, and though men may be uncorrnpted they arc corruptible. The Stales of New York Pennsylvania and Ohio have 85 etectoral votes How-many members are there in'bntha bralnche of their Legishltures? They have 428-24 being a majority. Five other States-Virginin Kentucky, Tenntessee, Illinois and Idiana have 26 votes in thte Electoral College, an< have 546 memberg in their Legislatures. it i well for these States that they did give the elee tiou of Electors to the people, for if they ha< not, thae Unlion would have baeen dissolved toni ago. There are so many conflicting interest: throughout, thec States, that the Legislature, never could have concentrated upon any tw< candidates for thte Presidency, and the resul would have been that the election would have been thrown into that corrupt body, the linus of the Federal Representatives. TJhere has beoo but two elections for President made by the Federal House of Representatives, anid suel was the demoralizing eff'et, that the Constitu tion was amended in ]804, which is the las aaendment ever made to it. There were then foar candidates before fh Electoral College ; members tact at the hotir o midnight, and bids were made upon the votes o influential men; and such was the corruption that Mr. Adams, bait for thes conistitutioanal provi sion that forced him to accept, lie would resign and send the electiona baek to the people again The people always will vote but for two candi dates for the Presidency, for they never agni will suffer the election to go ianto thae House o: Federal Representatives.

" There goes the man," said he, " your St: te voted for 'resident." . T'he gentleman f'rom St. Johin's has told us a . great deal about the :French :Revolution. I J .should like to know what the French Revolution a has to do with the. election of Electors. It is t cuslotnary nowa..days to refer everfthing to the d I Freneh.Reyolution,apd: the.

They have n'othing but a mere semblance ol t sovereignty, granted them by having the election r of a few militia officers given them, and I charge a it upon (he Parishes that keep up this military a organization, in order to divert the minds 9f r their intelligent constituents from the affairs of r their own State. I am no demagogue. I know h that I am regarded as an outlaw and a Red Re n publican by the Parishes, and fit only to be n transported to'France; but I wish nothing more s nor less than to have equal justice done to every e section of the State. .We are nothing more than a medium nyerage d of middle classes of our State, snd I cannot 1. account how it is that we possess so much more e wisdom here than we do when we are at home. e We are not a-body of legislators, but a body of e electors, for we elect one hundred and fourteen Sofficer.,, besides the district boards and managers e of elections. The Legislature is mrried to the , College, the Military Academies and the Lunatic e Asylum. I will vote for the bill offered by my friend a from Greenville, And I now assure him 'that he s will find in me a warm friend in all matters fe s lating to State politics, although we differ widely . in Federal politics.

" It's all in my eye, Betty Martin O."' cGEN. AYER ON SOUTHERN RIGlhTS. SA few weeks since we received a copy of an address edelivered by General Lawms AI. A via, of Barnwelt, upon " Southern Rights and the Cutban Question ;" but have not until now had an opportunity of noticing it. eWe have read the views of our friend with much in terest. They are at once elevated in point of feeling, sensible in point of policy and graceful in poinit of ex .pression. Th'le address was delivered on the 4th of .July last before the people in the neighborhood of .- hippy.Swamp, Barnwell Distrnet, and Is published aby thema. It is a neat pamphlet, from the press af A. r J. BURKE, Charleston, and altogether worthy the seri ous attention of every one who has at heart the beat f interests of the South, especially as opposed by North. -era Fanaticism. . GENERAL CARY. Wi had the pleasure 'of hearing the oilher pight in Columbia one of the set harangues of this distinguished temperance lecturer ; and we must say that he ba~s the r facility .of entertaining an audience after a most Sagreeable fashion. It was in the ball of the Ihouse of a Representatives that lie delivered the speech to which a we allude. His auditory was an overflowing one Sand, judging from the repeated rounds of uproarions applause, evidently a most appreciative one. There is in his oratory a rather singular cominghing of elegance and slang, the object of which we suppose is to ac t commodate all grades of hearers. A rhetorical flour Sish of considerable grace Is -followed up by some 'grotesque illustration worthy of a King's jester. An Soccasional passage of real pathos is suddenly displaced by some broadly ludicrous incident by way of illustra tion. He jumps "from grave to gay" with all the agility of a chamois among its native 'rocks. While his arguments are frequently very impressive, their force is certainly broken in no small. degree by the .palpable search after effect which leads him not un frequently a little beyond the limits of really tenable ~ground. At'all events though, CAR is a full head and shoulders above the common herd of temperance 1lecturers. Ife is said to be a man of considerejsle frtune andI to have adopted his apostleuthip in this cause from a feeling of genuine zeat. The fact is well calculated to prepossess a Southern crowd in his favour, distinguishing lhim as it does from the merceenary trikster who plays Ihis part for shser love of filthy lucre.-On the occasion of which we speak, the yen erablc Chief Justice O'NEaL, sat by his side in all the rich canonicals of a high-priest of the Order; and it was absolutely gratifying to observe thte bright symptoms afforded by his changing features of the delighted workings of the heart within. The old man was manifestly happy. I Will not the Judge be kind enough to send the >General round ihis wayi Our people will assuredly esteem it a very great treat. And yet, after all, we have some doubts whether the efforts of even this mighty champion are calculated to (d0 much in the way of a temperance reformation. For although his oratory in the main is fine, yet there is so much of the actor (not to say buffoon) evinced in his displays, that most men after hearing him feel as if they had hut attended a show. They go out and he impression is that of.a mere " tale that is told." .hey applaud the speakey most heartily and arereally grateful to him for having beguiled a weary hour or t~wo in so pleasant a manner. But thIs is all. An incident, on the evening of the lecture in ques tion, will illustrate our meaning: Two gentlemen were leaving towards the close of the address. One1 remarked, as they emerged from the hall,--" A capital lecturer that fellow CART !" " Admirable," respon dot the other--" What say you to droppiag in at Truesdll's and takiag a hot ewhiskey punch beforc wce GOVERNOR ADAMS.

Considering the motive whir snggested the step--a loyal devotion to the honor t South Carolina-the attempt to hold itup to anima version would seem to lave its source in stme let commendable feeling than a concern for the preserva don of established usages. We believe the peopl everywhere would endorse the action of Governi ADAMS ; and we trust, if anything is done inth matter by our Legislature, it will be such as to ai minister a withering rebuke to the hypercritical spit that would seek, for little or no good at the best, t cast a reflection upon one of the truest sons of ti State, and that tooin his capacity ofGovernor of Sout Caroina. FURMAN JNIVERSITT. Ws ewe to some friend a copy of the latest " Cat, logus of the Officers and Students" of thisflourishin institution. It is very full and satisfactory, givink list of the professors as well as students, and a ft display of the curriculum of studies. The faculty i now complete, the Revered hAuts P. Bovcx being t successor of'the late lamented Professor Mtgs. Hi department ii that of " Systematic and Polemi Theology and Ecclesiastical History," and the highs confdence is felt in his ability to meet the requiremen of his position. The number of students in attendant the current year is taoo hundred and twently-eight, whom 138 are pursuing exclusively the studies of th Academical Department; 85, the Collegiate studies 5 are in the Theological Department; and. 15 othe are engaged in the Literary Course, with the Ministr in view.--A Normal Department is about to be adds to site University by resolution of the Board of Trum tees at a late meeting. Until it is fully arranged, th professors propose to make a beginning on a limits scale at once and have determined to devote an extr hour each day to the instruction of Normal classes In connection with the extra instruction thus ensure to the different Schools, each Professor will disec the best methods of imparting instruction In his ow branch.-TI e " Rules of Discipline" of Furman Uni varsity are admirable. We should be glad to repel lish them at length had we room, so completely d they cover the ends of order, decency and gentlemani behaviour.-The University term consists of 40 weeki The highest expense of the Academic Department ft that space is $46, of the Collegiate the same. Boar it is said, can be obtained in private families at fro $10 to $12 per month. The following note is worth the attention of farents and guardians who propose I send scholars to this institution: . g" To avoid extravagance in the expenditures s the Students, Parents and Guardians residing at a di ance fr m the University arm requested to appuni some member of the Faculty, or some citizen of Greet villa, as Patron of their sons or wards, and to depos with him all funds (or udefrayintg thte expenses of tI year, with special instuction in reference to its dis bursement. Jn thtus alluding with some pertienularity'to the Ca algtte before us, we are prompted by an unfeigni repect for the men and measures connected with th great educational movement in South Carolina as thi far developed. We look to is as second in importancel none unless it be the College at Columbia. .And 'a rc disposed most heartily to lend our aid at all timi to its advancement, so long as it preserves the presti of its liberal and enlightened initiative, A FINE PLACE FOR SALE. The public will please observe, among other advsi tisements of this issue, one from the Commissioner Oflice of valuable land belonging to the estate of t late N. L GatrFun. it was postponed from sale-da last for the simple reason that the order was net ol taned as expected. But now the order is signed I the Chancellor and she sale will positively proceed advertised in our present issue. The property is highl desrable in many respects, and those wishing to pu chase had better look out lest thtis first rate opporti niy of getting an admirable residence and plantatic should slip them. We are requested also to state that the Administra tor's sale (part of thme same property a splendid gang< negroes) will also positively proceed as advertised. STATrE hOUSE s's STATE CAPITOL. Wa copylrom the Caruliniaa the remonstrance some good citixen of the State, against the chani that appears to be gradually working its way in ti style of designating our Legislative Building at C lumbis. Is occurs to us that he is right In speakiti out for the old name, " Sae-Housae." It expressi every thing quite as well as State-Capitol, is a some what shorter term, and is the name by w hich v always knew the building ini question. The no structure is to be an infinitely grander alair than til old one ; and this is perhaps thme cause of the desire give it a grander name. The notion is false in poii of taste. Simplicity and grandeur, according to Lou Kans and the rest, go hand in hand everywhere. simple name for a noble object always. Which better, Tathle Rock or Caesar's Head!i the nativ original, expressive appellation, or the fanciful, higi sounding, borrowed one!i There is about the san difference bestveen State-Hlunes and State-Capitol. The philological hint thrown out by the Caroliaian correspondent is also worthy of attention. " His name is John," wrote the good old Zachtarii of Scriptural History. " It's name is State-House," would be the decisic of each venerated worthy of a past and better day. PRESIDENCY OF THE COLLEGE. Professor McCaY (strangely enough pronoune M~cCov) has been elected President of the South Carc hina College. He was formerly professor in the colleg at Athens, Georgia, and was about to. he offered th presidency of that institution. He has however bes secured on this side the Savannah. His abilty is sai to be of very hi1gh order, and the expectatiop is genei ally expressed that he will discharge the responsibi duties of his new post tyish ensanent success.

I ant sorry to say It, that a Judge is hut a moan still, and subject to all hr. weaknesses-his petty pride, h's pridre of opinion, his obstinacy, and -. even bin incorrigable ignorance, and devilish cruelty. '. Why Jeffreys himself was a Jurige, arid s6 was ord tO Norbury. y This poorecreature then, with a thoasand imperfect Sions on his head, and a million times more about his '7 heart, is asked in the Court of A ppeals, along with 15 others, to reverse one of hi. own judgments. Ofcourse ly he resists the motion, and as he is the only person that r- can represent the facts of the case, he almost invari tably induces the othier Judges assocIated with him to in sustain him in lain course from Alpha even to Omega. It is stated by Philosophy, that every nman eres the 1 world differently. It would therefore, appear, that af every lawyer would see the matter in contest before a court differently. But the Judge who tries an issue in Barnwell or Edgefleld, it matters not how false Smay be the medium through which he beholds it, or Show horribly distorted, his natural vision is then Sthinking, looking and seeing fur all the Judges ; he cause he not only attempts to deriule the law, but to iinetruct the Jury how in heterpret the facts, and when he is required, preparatory to,.an appeal, to write out ,his report, it is sure to comns colored and.tinged with -his own peculiar views, and as he only is supposed to She fully acquainted with the dispute, the arbetrameint of the Court of Appeals, bas noother hue or color than is given it by the first presiding Judge. The officer who t takes down the proof or evidence in the first trial should never be compelled to form, or-be allowed to eaprues a conviction thereon, until the cause is finally adjudi Scated ; for otherwise, he ust, to some estent, give it bin own impression, and the highest judicial tribunal *in the State should in the last resort decide upon the e unadorned, unaccumulated facts, as they originally issued from the mouths of the witnesses. SBesides that very fellow-feeling which influences in all classes, order. and .associations of men, even down to the robber-hand, has a power as activesamong Judges as sinong the follower. of Ignatius Laoyola n himself. The better gentlemsen they are, and- the better-bred, the more Insensibly and forcibly are they constrained to supportand protect oneanother.- When sittag on the Appeal bench or elsewhere the Judges d are always happy to sutain this opiniuns of their asno 'ciate brothers. 0Our Judiciary is'inefhielent and rotten. No Judge Swho hears a causp should he allowed to report it. A n capable and discreet person who gives no opinion dthereon should be appointed and sworn to make the report. No Judge who tries a cause on the Circuit 0should be permitted to adjudicate the same in thae Court a of A ppeals, for-his decision -there will be warped by his first opinions;~ No set of associate Jodges sheif be the final reviewers of their own conduct, for their S viewi wifl h64 bissed by self-love, by'the loveisfleif e~ lans, and tainted by falsehood, false principles, anid'> d insidiolas corruption, and' flagr'ah inconsistency. -. Every man who claims the right of a citizenof a free1 0 republic, should enjoy the privilege in the last resort, o of appealing from * number of associate Judges, who may be prejudiced agsinst bts.person and his cause, to a higher tribunal that shall be elevated above ali .sinister influences. 'If a South. Carolinian should be, *dissa tisfied with the judgment of an Appeal Bench in . iis eases and ready to pay the expense of his prossee d tion, his acsess to a higher.authority should notdepaihd4 upon the capricious opinions of this same Bench of Associate Judges. isap sure that wise- as they are, and honest an they are, those who wear the etmine in1 t this State, do not yet monopolise Its wisdom and d probity. Would to God Itey did. The universal y voice of South Carolina should demand abeurt oL 5 Appeals constituted of other Judges than those who. try the causes oi the Circuit; and we shouldinstituta a Court of Error.sto which. the poorest being might carry his plea. Without a fundamental change in our Judiciary, dwe shall.Iose one of the geatest blessings- of uivl-. h liberty, and be subjected to a blind Judicial tyaity more revolting than that hy.which we were oppressed in our desperate clenihl struggles. Is has comie to e that pass'tnow, Fellow-citizens, that every lawyer of n aumen sani teli you what will be the decision of your y cae in the Court of Appeals as soon ashe reatdsthe a report of the presiding Judge on the Circuit, and be. fore a single type has been set in his brief.
