THE LEGISLATURE. Ypsfcprdav the solons of South Cirolina, both great and small, Diet in General Assembly in the State house in Colombia. After organizing the Governor's message was read in both house?, *be sub divisions of which were referred to appropriate committees to be by them, if established precedents are followed, pigeon holed. About the most important business which will come before the session 1?1: e r?;?TI win oe iue ciecuwu ui vufinuyuugco to succeed tbose whose terms expire during the present year. All of the Judges will stand for re-election, except Judges BucbaoaD,of the Third, aDd Benet, of the First. The Legis lature, however, it is certain, will experience no difficulty in finding men who are clamoring for these places, notwithstanding the alleged overwork and small pay, to serve the people for the honor and the glory attached. In both the vacant circuits there is do end of material from #v? cnlzx/if isxn knf fla wuiuu i*kj uinac ? oc*^vnvu v?v the actioD of the Legislature is as uncertain as the verdict of a petit jury aDd is past finding out, there is not possible way of forecasting the result correctly. Bat from present conditions appearances indicate that Mr. Dantzler, of Orangeburg, will succeed in knocking down the persimmon in the First, while in the Third it is dollars to doughnuts as to who will wear the ermine. The other elections booked to take place during the session being the Directors of the Dispensary. For these places there is a whole regiment of candidates, but as the present encumbents will all stand for re-election, which they have fairly won. and will no doubt succeed in reaching borne base safely. Then there will be three places on the Penitentiary board and as the members whose terms will expire want a re election they will probably get it. It goes without saying that Associate Justice Ira B. Jones will succeed himself. As the present jury law has been declared to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, much of the time of the Legislature will be con aumed in wearing another law which,' it is hoped, will conform to the re quiremente of ibe constitution. Jt is not at all probable that the .-.T1 t.naA rcoinnotinns rvf f Via fitn T~ n i K iVOICUUVlv^l' V* VMV v VMiV ed States Sauators will be officially noticed, for to do so would be out of the usual order of things, and would be acting entirely upon rumor and not upch fuct. These resignations have at no time been the property of the Legislature, and as much as it tray be desired by some the Legislature has no power to either accept q: reject the resignations. If it had then the only legitimate course | opened to it to pursue would be to re-elect both of the Senators, because under the rules of the Democratic party, which dictates both the j civil and political policy of thi6 State, j a candidate for any elective office I from United States Senator down to < 4 r V?nc fn (?n I tne coroner 01 a wuuy, , before the people for endorsement and j the one receiving the highest numbtr ] of votes is practically elected. In j the case of the former office the Leg-! islature but legally confirms the! choice of the people, and as the mem-1 bera of the Legislature stand j pledged to obey this rule they will j have to support the two incumbents j because they are the only ones who have complied with the rules of the party. It is probable also that the session will consume the entire forty days. J the constitutional limit, and during j its life many wiee as well as unwise ! measures will be considered and en- j acted. But then no blame must at- j taeh to the members for their acts, j nor their honesty of purpose impeached for with the same lights before us as will be before them, we would doubtless do as tbey will do or even worse. The Editor is out in the county again chasing the fleeing, delusive and elusive silver dollar over the red hills of the Fork, as well as enjoying the sumptuous edibles which are so bountifaliy spread by the good housewives of that section whenever he comes around. So, dear reader, just think of the turkey and trimmings, the puddings and sausages, tho spare ribs and backbones and the liver nips, all seasoned with herbs, and spicef-: and cakes uni pies and nn/l/linrtti IBlfllnilf ond ff?

The Editor can have ail the tnjoyment he can get out of those early morning drives with the thermometer below z^ro, the songsof the birds, the sweet scented flowers aud the beauties of the sunrise; but give, oh, give me, a hunk of fat opossum end a large siz;d potato and all the balanre is his. ' Presidf nt Roosevelt has announced the following as Postmasters for South Carolina: Greenwood, David Aiker; Laurens, George S. McCcavj; Union, S. C. Hunter; Winnsboro, Preston R:or; Newberry, Charles JPurcell. These men are certainly a great improvement over the ap pointees of former Republican ad ministrations. There was not much done in either branch of the General Assembly yesterday exceptiug reading the Governor's message, and the introduction of several new bills. The Governor returned the bill repealing the free pass law with hi3 veto. The veto was sustained by a fiatteriag majority. Rev. R N. Pratt, was elected Chaplain of the House to fill the vacancy occasioned by resignation. The Congressional bee is buzzing loudly in Lieutenant Richmond P HobsonV, he of the women kissing fame, bonnet and report says that he will resign from the navy and enter politics as a opponent of Congressman lunkhead of Alabama.

He was* retired four years ago by ItepublicaD victories in that State and the late Democratic success has re installed him. It seems bat few people remember that the South Carolina and "West Indian Exposition is now under full headway at CLarleston, so little are they interested in it.
