Legislative Proceedings. . On "Wednesday, the 17th, in the Senate the greater portion of the day was spent in discussing thi joint resolution author izing the employment of counsel to pros ecute the persons engaged in the land swindles. The President ruled that under the Constitution the appropriation of $5, 000 required a two-third vote, and after a long discussion the resolution was lost by a vote of 10 ayes, S nays. On the consideration of the bill to abol ish the office of Land Commissioner, the Columbia correspondent of the Charleston *?-jV?0S tells us that Nash made a short and sensible speech in favor of abolishing the office. "Nash is thus reported. ? . " He said he had voted for the estab lishment of the office bec tuse he believed " it would be a means of furnishing the poor people of his race with homes and the * means of making an.honest living ; but in this, as in many other tilings, tho rascals and adventurers,. who had come down here in the wake of the armv, had got possession, hail plunged their bands up to the very arm-pits in the public purse, and had perverted what was meant as a pub lic benefit into an instrument of private {dunder. In the years immediately fol owing the war it had only been necessary to say to the poor, ignorant colored men of the South, that a man was a Republi can to secure their support of him, and { these scoundrehr had, by working upon the credulity of the colored people, climb ed into high places, and had then betrayed the colored men and plundered and in sulted the pcopje, until it was seen that these white Republicans could steal as 1 fest as anybody else. It was said that negro governments .were a failure ; that . the whole system of reconstruction wai! a f ailure, and that the negro had shown ! im self unworthy of the boon of freedom and political equality that had been conferred upon him ; but he declared that the ne groes had been betrayed, had been out raged and sold out by the white scoun drels who had flocked" to the South, beat only upon their own personal gain ?and enrichment. .The bill was finally advanc . ed to a tlfml reading, with an amendment . proposed'by Mr. Whittemore, to the effect "that all books and papers pertaining to thc office of the Land Commission be turned over to the Secretary of State, on and after the passage of this Act, and the Secretary of State shall execute the dunes heretofore dev olving upon the Land Com . missioner.' " Wimbush introduced in the Senate his bill to charter, in this State, the Raleigh and Air Line Railroad Company of North Carolina. It incorporates the company, with the usual powers, and authorizes the construction of a railroad with one or more tracks from any point on the North Carolina' line, where the read may ent<r the State, to such point on the boundary Une between this State and Georgia, an? I near the City of Augusta, as the company may select, the location ol the railroad to be made on such route as the board of directors of thecompany, after proper sur veys, may direct. They are also author ized to construct branch roads from 'he main track to any other points or places in the State, said" branches not to exceed one hundred milesin length. The act also authorizes any incorporated city, town or village, which rnay be interested in the j construction of the railroad, or its branches, to subscribe to the capital stock of the company. Mr. Cardozo, from the Committee on Charitable Institutions, reported a bill re quiring county commissioners to remove imbeciles from the lunatic asylum to the county poor houses. Mr. Whittemore, from the Committee on the .luduaary, to whom was referred the petition ol ths-JSath, S.C., Paper Company, praying to be relieved of pay ment of taxes for the space of five years, reporte^back the same, with a recom- j mendatibn that the prayer of the petition ers be not granted. In the House, the Bill to charier the Independent Order of United Brother hood, or Scott Ku-Klux, came up for a third reading in the House to-day. It provoked a storm of amendments, but naaUy passed its third reading. Hurley wanted to amend by striking out the name of iE?op Gocdson, and inserting those of T. J. Mackey and R. K. Scott among the corporators..' Whipper moved to strike out the word " independent" .and insert " dependent." Having amused themselves in this manner for about a had" hour, the previous question was called, and the Bili passed by a vote of sixty-seven to twenty-five. There was very little other business done in the House. Mr. Wilkes gave no tice of a Bill to grant aid to the State Ag ricultural and Mechanical Society. The discussion of the Investigating Committee's report was resumed. Whip . per, Jones, Bowen, Hurley and Speaker Moses spoke. Moses made a speech defending himself from the charges made in the joint finan cial committee's report, after which the report was laid on the table, yeas sixty three, navs eighteen. Cain gave notice of the introduction of a bill to determine the ratio of represen tation of the counties of Barnwell, Edge field, Aiken, Lexington and Orangeb arg. Rivers gave notice of rae introduction of a bill to incorporate the Knights of the Circle Tie. Wonder if Prince is one ol' the Knights. Mr. Wilkes gave notice of the introduc tion of a bill to gra.nt aid to the State Ag ncuitnral and Mechanical Society, ana a bill ?Lo limit the tenure of certain Sute and county officers. On Thursday, the ISth, in the Senate Mr. Whittemore introduced a bill to pro vide for thc publication of the general ?tatules of the ?tate of South Carolina. Mr. Carduzo-Joint resolution relative ? amending the Constitution of the State of South Carolina in favor of minority voting. [he event of tho present session, thc judicial election,- was accomplished un Thursday after much tribulation and trouble. At one* o'clock, the two branches of the General Assembly met together in joint assembly for the purpose ol' going into an election. The officers to be elected were one Associate Justice, and eight Cir cuit Judges to serve for four years from thc expiration of the present terms. In the first, thud, fifth and eighth circuit? there was no opposition, ana the present incumbents were elected without trouble. Tue first election was for Associate Justice to succeed Judge Willard. The elections resulted as follows : For Associate Juctice of the Supreme Couri-A. J. Willard; re-elected. For Judge of the First Circuit-R. F. Graham, re-elected. For Judge of the Second Circuit-John J. Maher, elected. For Judge ol'the Third Circuit-John T. Green, re-elected. . Fer Judge of the Fourth Circuit i harks P. Townsend, elected For Judge of the Fifth Circuit-Samuel W. Mellon, re-elected. For Judge of the Sixth Circuit-Thomas Jefferson Mackay, elected. For Judge of the Seventh Circuit Montgomery Moses, re-elected. For Judge of the Eighth Circuit-James L. Orr, re-elected. On Friday, the 19th, the proceedings in both Houses was tame and unimportant. 1 In the House, Hunter introduced a bill to establish a Superior Court in Charleston with original jurisdiction in all civil cases i np to five hundred dollars, and in criminal ( cases, les9 than capital. The bill also . abolishes the City Court, and deprives the \ members of the City Council of Charles ton of all judicial and magisterial func- ' t'.ons. 1 In the Senate, Mr. Arnim introduced the following, which was adopted : Whereas it is reported that the entire debt of the State of South Carolina is to 1 be funded by the issue of new bonds ; aud whereas it ?B inexpedient that any new : bonds should be issued until the total | amount of the State indebtedness is ascer- ] ta yied; therefore, Resolved, That the Committee on Fi- j nance be instructed to report forthwith.-j lo the Senate all bills anti resolutions in , xheir possession relating to the registra tion of all the bonds* and" "stocks of $i?s \ State,or in.any way" connected- with'the ' fiaanoss of the State. 1 tiotli Houses adjourned from Friday till ' Monday, < The Great Fire in Abbeville.

Tillman oa the ?' Po sum Policy" Tho political views of our honored f< low citizen, tho Hon. Geo. D. Tillma always command attention and respe in Edgefield District. This week 1 sends us from his home, on thc Sava nah, a long and able article poncei*nil the best tactics for tho Democratic par in the coming campaign. This "passiv? or " possum'" policy is nothing very ne . as applied to National politics, but as a plied to our own home affairs it is, at Certainly commands our consideratio And, in fact, as applied to National po] tics, passivism seems to be at prese triumphant; that is, judging from tl flatness which characterizes the gre Democratic papers of the North Thi far, however, the party leaders may on be " playing possum." But Mr. Tillmt deals with matters which immediate concern our own oppressed State ar people. We are much inclined to agr with him. As he says, " we must saci fice not our principles but our feelini j to succeed in the next election." "vi commend his communication to the p rusal of the public everywhere. -1-. ??? i ?-. Railroad Charters. Petitions have been presented in tl Legislature for charters for a Rulroi from Spartanburg, via Laurens, Ninet Six and Edgefield O. H., to Aiken, S. C or Augusta, Ga., and for a Railroad fro Greenwood, via Dora's Mines, to Ai gusta, Ga. And surely the Legislatu will not fail to grant a charter to ea< road-for the building of these Roads of the greatest importance to the sectioi through which they will run, and th their construction will tend greatly t wards building up the country none wi deny. We understand a certain faction in tl Legislature objects to chartering a rot from Spartanburg to Angosta, but ai willing to grant a charter for the erectic of a road from Spartanburg to Aiken. "V\ regret this objection, and fear that makir Aiken the terminus will serve to damp? the ardor of our up-country friends wi are very anxious to run direct to Augu ta. But if certain of our law makers ai so very jealous of the interest of Charle: ton and the South Carolina Railroad, an guarding that interest, refuse to give i the charter to Augusta, why then let v. have the charter to Aiken, with th privilege of a branch road (froni the v cinity of Pine House Depot,) to Augusts This would be fair, and we doubt nc would give satisfaction to all concern?e A road from Spartanburg via Edgefiel C. H. to Aiken would bc quite accepta ble to our people, as it would aflbrd u railroad facilities for direct travel o transportation to Charleston, Columbi or Augusta-because our road would in tersect the Columbia <fe Augusta Road a ornear Pine House Depot, and wouh doubtless make connection with tin trains on that line. And our road havin; the privilege of building! i branch road fr Augusta, would restrain tho C. C. ct A Road (even were they disposed) Iron exacting a high tariff from us. Wo therefore trust our Legislators wil speedily charter the Roads as originally proposed, or as above indicated,-and i 00, the incorporators will take promp measures towards effecting an organiza tion, and setting the ball in motion, witl a well founded hope of an early com plc tion of both the Spartanburg ct Aiken and Greenwood ct Augusta Roads. Wo also see that application has beer made in thc Legislature for a charter foi a road from Raleigh, N. C., to Augusta Ga. This is an enterprise that shoulc receive a favorable consideration from the people of our State. If the chattel is given as petitioned for, w ,.-c assured that the Road will be built, and if buil! will traverse from one side of our Coun ty, to (he other, ns well as through York. Chester and Newberry Counties. Con sequently the respective members to thc Legislature from t?ie>e Counties should give liiis project their earnest attention and warmest encouragement. This is an age of Railroads, and if wc expect to koop up with the age, we must build Mail roads. K^^ii:? tllf' ^erV Lunatics! People have not heard much of tho fa mous Joe Crews, of Laurens, lately, but s'ill Joseph is not forgotten. And now he comes forward and plr.ys another of his characteristic tricks. That is, he com mits a huge and vile theft. Joe, wo be lieve, does not live in Laurens now. He lives-well, we don'tknow exactly where he lives. But it is in Columbia princi pally that he steals. He is a member of the Legislature, a director of the Green ville ct Columbia Railroad, a regent of tho State Lunatic Asylum," and a mueh adm'..". Radical leader. In his capacity of regent of the Asylum he has stolen lately from the said institution 75 tons of coal. Think of it ! Stealing 75 tons of coal from the wretched lunatics ! Even,' other man connected with the institution has promptly and satisfactorily cleansed his skirts, leaving Mr. Crews standing nlone in the mud. Nor does this miser able fellow even deny the deed. As on A form or occasion, he says nothing. What upon earth is to be ?dono with Joe? Oh, Joe, Joe, take care, lest you como to the pass of " stealing a sick nigger's soup." Cowhides versos Leaden Ballets. A noisy, noisome and notorious mem ber of the Legislature is one Benjamin Byas, a negro, of Orangeburg So igno rant, low-toned and ridiculous is Byas that he is always a fertile subject for aewspaper correspondents. One of these, Mr. Tomlinson, of the Charleston News, oas offended Byas, and on Tuesday, last ae- (Byas) attempted to cowhide Mr. Tom linson. For his pains poor, Byas was ?jade -to smell " villanous saltpetre." romlinson shot - him, wounding him severely, and he now lies low. Tomlin jon's proceeding in this cas?is decidedly ? good precedent, ? Pendleton's Position. Mr. Pendleton, the great leader of the Ohio State Rights Democracy, places l?mself fairly and squarely on the plat form of the "New Departure." Mr. Pendleton says that the Democratic Con vention, when it meets, will recognize the accomplished facts of the presentand appreciate the dangers of thc futuro Mr. Pendleton extern's a cordial invitation to those Republicans opposed to Grant's administration. Nationnl Republican Convention. By appointment of the Executive Com mittee chosen by the Chicago Conven tion of 1868, the next Presidential Con vention, or rather tho caucus to nominate Grant, will meet in Philadelphia on the first Wednesday in Juno. Pennsylvania is doubtful; hence the Radicals hold their nominating convention in tho me tropolis of the Key Stone State. They think that by a big jollification in the broad-brim city of brotherly love the}' will influence the result in Pennsylvania. God grant it may provo to them a Water loo instead. The First Party in the Field. The first party in the field with its i Presidential ticket officially will be the national Prohibition or Temperanco par ty, for their national nominating conven tion meets at Columbus, Ohio, on the 22nd of February. And about the same time too the national Labor Reformers meet in th^ same place, and they may also put up a Presidential ticket. The woman's rights women will wait to see what course the anti-Grant Republican party takes before they move on the sub I ject. Consequently, by August next, we shall probably hav*? four or five Presi dential tickets and parties before the people. A Temperance candidate, and a Labor Reform candidate, and a Woman's Rights candidate, and a Possum Policy candidato, and an old linc, true-blue Democratic candidate, and a Moderate Republican candidate, and an Extreme Radical or Robbery, Plunder and Tyran ny candidate. And the man of tho last named party will be Grant; and we have a deadly fear that he will be thc winner -and that we will all continue to go to the d-1. But dum spiro spei'o.'

THE BLUE RIDGE.-At a meeting of the Directors of the Blue Ridge Railroad Company, held yesterday, at their office, thc following changes in the management of the road were consummated. The re signation of Colonel Cothran was accept ed-he stating that he had only taken the position of President as a temporary ex pedient-his business pursuits preventing nis giving the necessary attention to the office. Messrs. Gary, Gulick, Butler and Palmer having resigned, their positions were filled bv the election of Messrs. C. D. Melton, Thos. Steers, George W. Wa terman, James M. Allen and P. S. Jacobs -the latter being also chosen Secretar}' and Treasurer ot the company. Colonel John J. Patterson was elected to fill the vacancy occasioned hythe resignation of Colonel Cothran. Thos. J. Steers, Esq., was elected Yice-Prcsidtnt. It is under stood that this highly important work the completion of the Bine Ridge Rail road-will be pushed forward rapidly, ail the necessary arrangements having beet completed. We trust that our vacilla ting Legislature will place no obstacles in the way of the company, but will gi ve them the necessary encouragement in Int completion of this important connection with the great West.-Columbia Phoenix.

INHUMAN TREATMENT OF A CHILD BY RELIGIOUS FANATICS.-The village of| Windsor, Broome county, New York, is greatly excited over thc arrest of Eli Stow and his wife, members of the religious so ddy known as Nazarites, on i< charge of cruelly treating their child, ."ged 18 months. The arrest was made on the complaint of | Trial Kent, grandfather of the child. Ac cording to the father's statement the child had refused to tell its name, and he h.K. whipped it. Mr. Blatchley. a Nazarite preac c,r, says that the child was pos sessed of the devil, and its whipping was necessary in order to drive the evil spirit out. ThVgrandfather, who went to hi laughter's house as soon as ho heard of | the affair, found the child covered with bruises and cuts The child was imme diately taken in charge by the grandfath er, and its parents were taken before Jus tice Stringnam, who placed them each un der $500 bail to appear hr trial.

Under *ate of the 22d, our Columbia !orrespondent sends us a long and inter esting letter, but owing to the crowded itate of our columns we can only give dace to the following extracts : "The Senate refused to adopt Nash's oint resolution authorizing the employ nent of legal counsel for thc prosecution >f persons engaged in land swindles. It ?me up for its third reading in tho Scn ite on Wednesday, the 17th, and lacked he requisite two-thirds majority. Mein yro said that ho voted against the rcsolu ;ion because he thought the Attorney 3eneral was solely responsible, inasmuch is ho was ono of the members of the Ad visory Board and its legal adviser ; be 3ause the Attorney General would prose cute those who had imposed invalid ti tles on him ; because the Senate should aot delegate to others the duty he is paid to pertorm ; because the Attorney Gen eral and Advisory Board are worth noth ing, and the ^-tate could gain nothing by prosecuting shadows. And he asked that these reasons bo entered on the Journal. "Now, if these "reasons" have any force at all, they prove that Mr. McIn tyre should have voted for, instead of against, tho resolution. If the Attorney General is solely responsible for any land swindles that may have taken place, he ought to be prosecuted, and ho cannot be expected to prosecute himself. If he had intended to prosecute anj'body ho would have done so long ago, and the indica tions are, that if the Senate does not del egate thia one of his duties to some one else, it will never bo performed. It is very improbable that an invalid title was ever imposed on tho Attorney General, and if that imp .?sition is the only kind of land swindle he proposes to prosecute, the swindler may rest perfectly at ease. The talk about pursuing shadows is sim ply nonsense, for the resolution was to employ counsel for tho prosecution of persons engaged in land swindles, which signiiics the indictment of such persons as criminals, and the result of a criminal prosecution, if successful, is the peniten tiary; and it matters not whether the criminal is worth anything or not. " Immediately after the defeat of hi? resolution Nash gavenoticothathewould introduce a Bill for tho samo purpose, which lie did on Friday. It received its first reading and was ordered for a sec ond and third consid?ration. " Poor Ben Byas was soundly thrashed on last Friday, by one of tho negro po licemen, named Williams. It seem!? that Byas had used some language to the wi:o of Williams which was considered disrespectful, and Williams resented it.

Bya most discreetly began to change bis base and went down stairs in double-quick time, Williams following him and beat lng him all thc way to the lower floor, and out of the House. Bon will probu bly "hoid him responsible in the Courts of the State," for this uncivil interfer ence with his social rights. No doub1 his dignity as an " Honorable Member," as h? calls himself, is seriously offended. It is said that Byas went up town to bu\ a cowhide, saying that he was going tr whip Williams.

MR. EDITOR: The Aiken Tribune, of Dec., 23d, 1871, contains an article signed "R. E C." under the caption "Thc Sur vey of the Nev,- County iinc." This ac count states that thc surveyors, after some delay in finding the starting point, "started for the termination point, the mouth of Foxes Creek upon Savannah River. ' We are in formed that t hey cross ed sundry huckleberry pond swami?, passed near several Churches, crossed certain roads and certain creeks at cer tain places, passed a little : ;nc right o! this man's house, leaving him a little way in the new County, and a little to tho left of another man's house, leaving him a little way in Edgelield. County, and finally striking the head of Foxes Creek, crossing it twice, and " from a dense swamp emerged upon the banks of Savannah River, thirty-five and-a-half miles from the starting point." And a like recital recounts the progr?s of the corps of Surveyors from North Edisto River to the head of Tinkers' Creek in Barnwell. This is the whole thing, and simply amounts to this, (I speak only of the line through Edgefield) that they began at thc beginning, and ended at thc end of the line, after travel ing thirty five and-a-half milos, or that tiio new County line through Edgefield bas been run. But how was it run ? The problem to bc solved was this: What bearing would run a straight line, ol unknown length, between two given points, neither ol* which could bo seen from the other? How did they doit? Upon this point, and by far the most in teresting and important point in the whole afluir, thc said account givc3 us no information whatever. By what pro cess did tliey calculate the bearing of thc line, to be run from tho intersection-ol the old Edgelield and Lexington lino with thc !-outh prong of Chinquapin Falls Creek, and the mouth of Foxes' Creek on Savannah River? What is thc bearing of that line? Did they run the entire lino through from point to point, with the same bearing with which they .-tarted? If not, at what point did they change it, and what wsts tho change? How often was the bearing changed, and what were thc chang...? The account leads us to infer that the line was run but once. If the bearing that would run a straight lino from one point to thc other, (the distance between them being un known and each in visible from the other so as to run it accurately straight upon thc first trial, was tho result of calcula tion, it would afford us great satisfaction to know how it was done. If it was guess work, it was a most extraordinary guess, scarcely within the range of possibility. If the bearing were changed one or more times between the two points, thon the line is a crooked one ; and consequently if the line were run straight between the two termini it would in all probability leave some who are nearly on the line, as now run, on a side different from that on which they have been placed, and thus chango their County citizenship. The bare announcement of the fact that the survey was begun and finished, does not exactly satisfy the demands of thc inquiring mind; but it wants to know the modus operandi. And we hope "E. E. C." will givo us a more scientific, and jonscqucntly a more satisfactory, account Df "-Thesurvey of the Now Countvlino." Q. J&igf Wonders will never cease.
