Legislative Proceedings. . On Wednesday, the 17th, in the Senate the greater portion of the day was spent in discussing the joint resolufion 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-tbird vote, and after a long discussion the resolution was lost by ? a vote of 10 aves, 8 nays. On the consideration of the bill to abol ish the office of Land Commissioner, the Columbia correspondent of the Charleston . -2Vew8 tells-us that-Nash made a short and sensible speech bi fa vor 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 .^iheans of making an,honest living ; but in this, as in many other things, the rascals and adventurers, who had come down here in the wako of the armv, had got possession, had plunged their hands 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 plunder. In the years immediately fol lowing 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 thew scoundrels 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 people, until it was seen that these white Republicans could steal as . fast as anybody else. It was said that negro governments .were a failure ; that . the whole system of ?econstruction was a * f ailure, and "that the negro had shown t 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 scorn drels who had flocked" to thc South, bent onlv upon their own personal gain ?and enrichment. -The bill was finally advanc , ed to a third reading, with au amendment 1 proposed by Mr. Wnittemore, to the effect 'that all books and papers pertaining to thc office of the Land Commission bo turned over to the Secretary of State, on and after the passage of this Act, and the Secretary of Suite shall execute the duties heretofore devolving'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 Nortii Carolina" line, where the read may entir the State, to such point on the boundary line between this State and Georgia, an<! near the City of Augusta, as the company may select, the location of the railroad t? be made on such route as the board of directors of the company, after proper sur veys, may direct. They are also author . ized to construct branch roads from ?he main 'rack to any other points or places m thc State, said branches not to exceed one hundred miles in length. The act also authorizes any incorporated city, town or village, which" may he interested in the . 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 Judiciary, to whom was referred the petition o?.the^Bath, S. C., Paper j Company, praying to be relieved of pay ment of laxes for the space of five years, reported* back thc same, with a recom mendation that the prayer cf 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 nualiy passed its third reading. Hurley wanted to amend by striking out the name of iEiop Goodson, and inserting those of T. J. Muckey and R: K. Scott among the corporators..' Whipper moved to strike out the word " independent" .aud insert " dependent." Having amused themselves in this manner for about a half hour, the previous question was called, and the Bill 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 iron: the charges made in the joint finan cial committee's report, after which the report was laid on the table, yeas sixty three, nays 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 Orangeburg. Rivers gave notice of vue introduction of a bill to incorporate the Knights of the Circle Tie. Wonder if Prince is one of the Knights. Mr. Wilkes gave notice of the introduc tion of a bill to grant aid to the Slate Ag ricultural and Mechanical Society, ana a bill to limit the tenure of certain State and county officers. Or. Thursday, the 18th, in the Senate Mr. Whitemore introduced a bill to pro vide for the publication of the general statutes of the ?Ute of South Carolina. Mr. Cardozo-Joint resolution relative to amending the Constitution of the State of South Carolina in favor of minority voting. rhe event of the present session.^ the judicial election, was accomplished! on 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 of go::i_ into an election. The officers to be elected were one Associate Justice, and eight Cir cuit Judg-rf to serve for four years from thc expiration of the present terms. In the first, tnird, fifth and eighih circuits there was no opposition, ana the presen; incumbents were elected without trouble. The first election was for Associate Justice to succeed Judge Willard. The elections resulted as follows : For Associate J uctice of the Supreme Court-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 of thc Third Circuit-John T. Green, re-elected. . For Judge of the Fourth Circuit i harlcs P. Townsend, elected. For Judge of the Fifth Circuit-Samuel W. Melton, re-elected. For Judge of the ; lixth C ircuit-Thomas Jefferson Mackey, elected. For Judge of the Seventh Circuit Montgomery Moses, re-elected. For Judge of the Eighth Circuit-James 1 L. Orr, re-elected. 1 On Friday, the 19th, the proceedings in 1 both Houses was taine and unimportant. < In tiie House, Hunter introduced a bill to I establish a Superior Court in Charleston 1 with original jurisdiction in all civil cases i np to five hundred dollars, and in criminal { cases, les3 than capital. The bill also f "abolishes the City Court, and deprives the \ members of the City Council of Charles t ?n of all judicial and magisterial func- 1 tions. i 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 ; 1 and whereas it is inexpedient thatany new i bonds should be issued until the total i amoun* of the State indebtedness is ascer- , tamed, herefore, j Rcsoued, That the Committee on Fi- j nance be instructed to report forthwith j in the Senate all bills anet resolutions in j .their possession relating to the registra tion of all the bon^'aja^o^ of this J State, or in,.any .way" connected- with'the ? fi naners of the State. 8 Both Houses adjourned from Friday till 5 Monday. ? The Great Fire in Abbeville. Mr. J. F. C. DuPre, the intendent of he town, writes under date of Friday ast : A fire occured in our town this A. M., one o'clock,) which entirely consumed the ?.ourt-house, the Marshal House, the stores ii J. Knox, Trowbridge & Co., Troegar & Bequest, and Kapshan & Sklarz; also, li quor establishments of L. H. Russell, Christian & Wilson, J. Knox, and Lee Russell, together with all the smaller build ings on the two squares, occupied by freed men. Loss about $75,000. Insurance about $10,000 or $12,000. Clerk, sheriff and probate judge lost many valuable papers. The Columbia Fhoznix, of Saturday says : Information readied no yesterday morning, of a mo3t destructive fire, which occurred in the town of Abbeville, on Thursday night. The Marshal House, a fine, large brick building : the Court House and the entire block of buildings between those two, on .the left side of the main square, were entirely consumed. Trow bridge & Co., whose store was in the Marshal House, it is said saved the great er part of their stock as did also John Knox, Traegar & "Request, and Kapham & Sklarz, L. H. Russell, J. Knox, Christian & Wilson and Lee Russell ; but the buildings occupied by the above named parties, together with all thc smaller build ings on the two blocks, occupied by freed men, were destroyed. The books and records in the Court House-Clerk's, Sheriffs, County Trea surer, <fcc. are reported saved. The build ings were almost an entire loss. The dam ages are estimated at $75,000; insurance from $10,000 to $12,000. Many valuable papers were lost by the County officers." THE ADVERTISER. Edgefield, S.C., Jan 25, 1872. Hon. iieo. If. Tillman on the ?? Pos* sum Policy " Tho political views of our honored fel low citizen, the Hon. Geo. D. Tillman, always command attention and respect in Edgefield District. This week he sends us from his home, on tho Savan nah, a long and able article concerning the best tactics for the Democratic party in the coming campaign. This " passive" or "possum'' policy is nothing very new as applied to National politics, but as ap plied to our own home affairs it is, and Certainly commands our consideration. And, in fact, as applied to National poli tics, passivism seems to be at present triumphant; that is, judging from the flatness which characterizes the great Democratic papers of the North Thus far, however, the party leaders may only be " playing possum." But .Mr. Tillman deals with mattel's which immediately concern our own oppressed State and people. We are much inclined to agree with him. As ho saj'S, " we must sacri fice not our principles but our feelings to succeed in the next election." We commend his communication to the pe rusal of the public everywhere. Railroad Charters. Petitions have been presented in the Legislature for charters for a Railroad from Spartanburg, via Laurens, Ninety Six and Edgefield O. H., to Aiken, S. C., or Augusta, Ga., and for a Railroad from Greenwood, via Dom's Mines, to Au gusta, Ga- And surely the Legislature will not fail to grant a charter to each road-for the building of these Roads is of the greatest importance to the sections through which they will run, and that their construction will tend greatly to wards building up the country none will deny. We understand a certain faction in the Legislature objects to chartering a road from Spartanburg to Augusta, but aro willing to grant a charter for tho erection of a road from Spartanburg to Aiken. We regret this objection, and fear that making Aiken the terminus will s?rvelo dampen thc ardor of our up-country frie.ids who are very anxious to run direct to Augus ta. But if certain of our law makers are so very jealous of the interest of Charles ton and the South Carolina Railroad, and guarding that interest, refuse to give us the charter to Augusta, why then let us have tjie charter to Aiken, with thc privilege of a branch road (from the vi cinity of Pine House Depot,) to Augusta. This would be fair, and we doubt not would give satisfaction to all concerned. A road from Spartanburg via Edgefield C. H. to Aiken would bc quite accepta ble to our psople, as it would alford us railroad facilities for direct travel or transportation to Charleston, Columbia or Augusta-beeau? mr road would in tersect the Columbia <fc Augusta Road at or near Pine House Depot, and would doubtless make connection with the trains on that line. And our road having, the privilege of building! i branch road to Augusta, would restrain thc C. C. & A. Road (even were they disposed) from exacting a high tarifl* from us. We therefore trust our Legislators will speedily charter the Roads as originally proposed, oi as above indicated,-and i; so, the incorporators will take prompt measures towards' effecting an organiza tion, and setting the ball in motion, with a well founded hope of an carly comple tion of both the Spartanburg & Aiken, and Greenwood & Augusta Roads. We also see that application has been made in the Legislature for a charter for a road from Raleigh, N. C., to Augusta, Ga. This is an enterprise that should receive a favorable consideration from the people of our State. If the charter is given as petitioned for, weareassured that thc Road will be built, and if built will traverse from one side of our Coun ty, to Hie other, as well usthrough York. Chester and Newberry Counties. Con sequently thc respective members to thc Loirisiature from tlicse Counties should give this project their earnest attention and warmest encouragement. This an agc of Railroads, and if we expect to keep up with the age, ice must build Rail road*. ll?ff?inz the Very Lunatics! People have not heard much of the fa mous Joe Crews, of Laurens, lately, but s ?ill Joseph is not forgotten. And now he comes forward and plays another of his characteristic tricks. That is, he com mits a huge and vile theft. Joe, we be lieve, does not live in Laurens now. He lives-well, we don't know 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 & Columbia Railroad, a regent ol the State Lunatic Asylum,"and a much admired Radical leader. In his capacity >f regent of the Asylum lie has stolen lately from thc said institution 75 ions of joal. Think of it ! Stealing 75 tons ot wal from the wretched lunatics ! Every >thcr man connected with the institution las promptly and satisfactorily cleansed lis skirts, leaving Mr. Crews standing done in the mud. Nor does this miser ible fellow even deny the deed. As on i formoroccasion, hesa3'snothing. What ipon earth is to be ?done w?th Joe? Oh, | \ Toe, Joe, take care, lest you como to the >ass of " stealing a sick nigger's soup." Cowhides vcrsns Leaden Bullets. I c A noisy, noisome and notorious mern- * ier of the Legislature is one Benjamin 3yas, a negro, of Orangeburg So igno- f .ant, low-toned and ridiculous is Byas a hat he is always a fertile subject for * lewspaper correspondents. One of these, J !dr. Tomlinson, of the Charleston News, ias offended Byas, and on Tuesday last Y? (Byas) attempted to cowhide Mr. Toin inson. For his pains poor Byas was nade 4o smell "villanous saltpetre." romrinson shot - him, wounding him leverely, and he now Hes low. Tornlin lon's proceeding in this cas?is decidedly i good precedent, ? Pendleton's Position. Mr. Pendleton, the great leader of the )hio State Rights Democracy, places dmself fairly and squarely on the plat brm of the "New Departure." Mr. Pendleton says that the Democratic Con rention, when it meets, will recognize he accomplished facts of the presentand ippreciate the dangers of the future Mr. Pendleton extern's a cordial invitation to hose Republicans opposed to Grant's idministration. -- ? i ai?-i National Republican Convention. By appointment of the Executive Com mittee chosen by the Chicago Conven ;ion of 1868, the next Presidential Con mention, or rather the caucus to nominate Girant, will meet in Philadelphia on the first Wednesday in Juno. Pennsylvania is doubtful; hence the Radicals hold their nominating convention in the me tropolis of the Key Stone State. They think that by a big jollification in the broad-brim city of brotherly love they will influence tho result in Pennsylvania. God grant it may j>rovo to them a Water loo instead. i ? i n~i i ? - The First Parly in the Field. The first party in the field with ita Presidential ticket officially will be the national Prohibition or Temperance par ty, for their national nominating conven tion meets ai Columbus, Ohio, on the 22nd of February. And about the name time too the national Labor Reformers meet in the same place, and they may also put up a Presidential ticket. The woman's rights women will wait to see what course tho anti-Grant Republican party takes beforo they move on the sub 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 candidate, and an old lino, true-blue Democratic candidate, and a Moderate Republican candidate, and an Extreme Radical or Robbery, Plunder and Tyran ny candidate. And the man of the last named party will be Grant; and we have a deadly fear that he will bc the winner -and that we will all continue to go to thc d-1. But dum spiro spero !

THE BLUE RIDGE.-At a meeting of the Directors of the Blue Ridge Railroad Company, held yesterday, at their office, the following changes in the management of the road were consummated. Thc 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 his giving the necessary attention to the office. Messrs. Gary, Gulick, Butler and Palmer having resiened, their positions were filled b\- the election of Messrs. C. D. Melton, Thos. Steers, George W. Wa terman, James M. Allen and F. S. Jacobs -the latter being also chosen Secretary 'and Treasurer ot the company. Colonel John J. Patterson was elected to fill the vacancy occasioned hy the resignation of Colonel Cothran. Thoa J. Steers, Esq., was elected vice-President. It is under stood that this highly important work the completion of the Blue Ridge Rail road-will be pushed forward rapidly, all the necessary arrangements having been completed. We trust that our vacilla ting Legislature will place no obstacle? in the way of the company, but will give them the necessary encouragement in the completion of this important connection with the great West.-Columbia Phoenix. gig?1* There was a negro Ku-Klux raid in Bold Knob precinct, near Frankfort, Ky., on Saturday night, the 13th, several white laborers Seing ordered away ami other persons kept out all night.

TsSr-The Union Times says "All the prisoners arrested in this county by United States Marshals, and who have been so long confined in jail in Columbia have been transferred to this place, and aro now confined in the Court House under charge of the Sheriff."

Wise had his dwelling house, about five miles from Blackville, destroyed bj' fire on Tuesday last We have not heard the particulars, further than that the cause was accidental." ?&~ Forts Moultrie and Sumter at Charleston, ami Fort Pulaski at Savan nah are being put in war condition, and each is to be mounted in a very short time with some thirty or forty heavy ?runs. These rapid preparations by the Government look like business, and rumors of war with Spain or Russia, or both, arc anxiously and hourly expected. INHUMAN TREATMENT OF A CHILD BY RELIGIOUS FANATICS.-The village of Windsor. Broome county, New York, is greatly excited over thc arrest bf Eli Stow and hi's wife, members of the religious so ciety known as Nazantes, ou a charge of cruelly treating their child, aged 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 had whipped if. Mr. Blatchley, a Nazaritc preacher, says that the child was pos sessed of the devil, and its whipping was necessary in order to drive the evil spirit nit. The grandfatbtr, who went to his daughter's house as soon as he 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 Stringham, who placed them each un der $500 bail to appear for trial. The child is said to be in a very critical con dition. $&. A Louisiana woman has threo in fant sons of equal age, one white, one black, and one " pumpkin and-milk solor."

Under date of the 22d, our Columbia correspondent sends us a long and inter Bsting letter, but owing to the crowded 3tate of our columns we can only give place to the following extracts : "The Senate refused to adopt Nash's joint resolution authorizing the employ-, ment of legal counsel for thc prosecution of persons engaged in land swindles. It came up for its third reading in tho Sen ate on Wednesday, the 17th, and lacked the requisite two-thirds majority. Mein tyro said that he voted against thc resolu tion because he thought the Attorney Geueral was solely responsible, inasmuch as he was ono ol' the members of the Ad visory Board and its legal adviser ; be cause the Attorney General would prose cute those who had imposed invalid ti tles on him ; because the Senate should not delegate to others the duty he is paid to pertorm ; because tho Attorney Gen eral and Advisory Board are worth noth ing, and the ^tate could gain nothing by prosecuting shadows. And ho asked that these reasons be entered on the Journal. "Now, if these "reasons" have any force at all, they provo that Mr. McIn tyre should have voted for, instead of against, the 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 anybody 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 titlowa* ever imposed on tho Attorney General, and if that imposition is the only kind ol 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 ol' persons engaged In land swindles, which signifies the indictment of such persons as criminals, and the result of a criminal prosecution, if successful, is the penitcn tiary; and it matt?rs not whether the criminal is worth anything or not. "Immediately alter the defeat of hi? resolution Nash gavenoticothathewould introducd a Bill for the same purpose, which he did on Friday. It received its first reading and was ordered for a sec ond and third consideration. " Poor Ben Byas was soundly thrashed on last Friday, by one of tho negro po licemen, named Williams. It seems that Byas had used some language to the wile oi' Williams which was considered disrespectful, and Williams resented it. He attacked Byas in tho State House, just at the door bf the Hall of the House, and belabored him with a cowhide. Byiu most discreetly began to change his base and went down stairs in double-quick time, Williams following him and neat lng him all the way to thc lower floor, and out of thc House. Ben will proba bly "hold him responsible in thc Court*, of the State," for this uncivil interfer ence with his social rights. No doub' ?Iiis dignity as an " Honorable Member," as n? 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. But I have heard noth ing of it yet. M. Cowhiding a Reporter and the Re sult. COLUMBIA, January 23.-Benjamin Byas, a colorod representative in the Lower House, attempted to cowhide B. W. Tomlinson, of the Charleston News, to day, .when he was shot and severely wounded by Tomlinson, who, until re cently, was connected with the New York press. Thc li ii-Klux Prisoners. CHARLESTON, January 23.-Forty-nine of the Ku-Klux prisoners recently con victed and sentenced at Columbia, reach ed here to day under a strong guard of United States troops. Twenty-four were put aboard the steamer Charleston, which sailed for New York this afternoon. They are to be imprisoned at Albany. The rost arc confined in the Charleston jail. For the Advertiser. Mn. EDITOU: Tho Aiken Tribune, of Dec, 2-d, 1S71, contains an article signed "R. E C." under the caption "The Sur vey of Che New County linc.'' This ac count states that the surveyors, after some delay in finding the starling point, "started for the termination point, the mouth of Foxes Crock upon Savannah River." Weare informed that they cross ed sundry huckleberry pond swamp.-, passed near several Churches, crossed certain roads and certain creeks at cer tain places, passed a little to thc 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 Edgefield. 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-live and-a-half miles from thc starting point." And a like recital recounts the progress of the corps of Surveyors from North Edisto River to the hoad of Tinkers' Creek in Barnwell. This is the whole thing, and simply amounts to this, (I speak only of thc line through Edgefield) that they began at thc boginning, and ended at thc end of thc line, after travel ing thirty live and-a-half miles, or that tho new County line through Edgefield has 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 of which could be seen from the other? How did they doit? Upon this point, and by far thc most in terestlng and important point in the whole affair, thc said account gives us no information whatever. By what pro cess did they calculate the bearing of thc line, to be run from tho intcrsection-o: tiie old Edgefield and Lexington line with tho s-outli prong of Chinquapin Falls Creek, and the mouth of Foxes' Creek on Savannah River? What is the bearing of that lino? Did they run the entire line through from point to point, with tho same bearing with which they .-tarted? If not, at what point did they change it, and what was tho change? How often was the bearing changed, and what were thc changes? The account leads us to infer that the line was run but once. If the bearing that would run a straight line from one point to the other, (the distance between them being un known and each invisible from the other so as to run it accurately straight upon thc first trial, was thc result of calcula tion, it would alford us great satisfaction to know how it was done. H it was guess work, it was a most extraordinary guess, scarcely within thc range of possibility. If tho bearing were changed one or more times between the two points, then the line is a crooked one ; and consequently if the line were run straight between the two ?ormini it would in all probability leave some who arc nearly on the line, as now run, on a side different from thal on which they have been placed, and '.luis 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 "R. E. ?..'." will givo us a more scientific, and consequently a more satisfactory, account of "The survey of thc Now County linc. Q. Wonders will never cease.
