Since our last issue the Legislature has had considerable discussions on various bills, only transacting the following of interest to cur readers: The bill to complete the Columbia Caual to Granby. rejected. The bill to require County Treasurers iO attend certain places in the several counties is before a conference committee. ti 3 ii.? n VOtl JL UUI SUilJr LUC uut ciliti Oj1_proved the act to ratify the act providing for the reorganization of the State supreme court. This is the lirst law of the session of 1S96. Judge Y. J. Pope was unanimously elected to succeed himself as Associate Justice. Ira B. Jones, Esq., for many years Speaker of the House and a prominent Reformer, an able lawyer, was unanimously elected as Associate Justice to fill the third and new place made by the new constitution. Biil to amend the law relating to boards of equalization passed thud reading. This bill requires that tie boards shall not receive pay for more than five days no matter hew long their session. Bill to require all executors and trustees, of whatever kind or appoint merit, to inter into sufficient under taking for the faithful performance of their duty was killed. This was a ;*ood bill and should have passed, as we have heard of complaint of the action of executors, etc, frequently, and no one disposed to carry out the provisions of wills should obj'ct. Mr. Earl's concealed weapon bill was killed after considerable discussion but another bill may come up with different provisions less objectionable. Mr. Frank 33. Gary of Abbeville, was elected as Speaker of the House and immediately entered upon the discharge of his duties. Mr. M. R Cooper of Colleton, was a candidate for the Speakership and received quite a complimentary vote, being a prominent member of the House. There being many lawyers and members beiDg interested in the sales at their respective counties on arst Monday that both houses took a recess until Tuesday at 8 p.m. The House met yesterday, (Taeslay) at 12:30 p. m. aud decided to aold both day and night sessions autil the business is completed. The bill to authorize ihe State rreasurer to loan out the sinking :uud, and the rate of interest fixed it per cent, passed to a third reading. Mr. Ellerbe's bill to provide for the equitable distribution of taxes on mortgaged property caused considerable debate. This bill requires *very owner of property, whether land or personal property, which is jnder mortgage shall make return to the Auditor of the true amount of lebt and interest due on such mortgage, and the Auditor shall enter the same alongWith the property covered by the mortgage and listed for taxation. It was finally indefinately postponed. Some claimed it would double tax, first on the money invested and then on the property. Nothing of importance in the Senate transacted excepting a number of second reading bills passed, Ac. The Senate is well up with its work and anxious to close up as soon as possible. ??? Jail Notes. Noah Bundrick, white, was committed to jail last week, charge with having burned Mr. H. J. Fulmu's mill on the 26:h, of last December. "We understand that he will have a preliminary hearing before Magistrate Dreher this week. There are three prisoners in jail awaiting trial at the approacLiug term of court, all of whom are while. Such a thing as all the prisone; s in jail at one time beiDg white, is not remembered even by the oldest inhabitant. It is supposed that the negroes kept up the expenses of the jail so long that they have become tired of doing so longer and have concluded to turn the business over to the whites for a time at least. Mr. James Stuart has been awarded the contract for repaiiing the jail fence and Las commenced the work. * 03IIU&BY.
