From Columbia.
The TiCgi -attire is now in the third wcok
of the scssi( with more business cut out 1
than can bo properly matured and completed.
Thus far but little has boon accomplished, 1
and tlio presumption is that about the usu.il 1
legislation will bo the result of the session. I
Uy far the most important subject be for j j
the Legislature is tho banks and banking.
There are many plans and suggestions for
the action of the Legislature, but we incline 1
to the opinion that no radical change will bo
made in our banking laws at this session.?
Mr. Memmixof.r's resolutions, which will bo
found on our first page, find favor with many.
Tho friends of tho banks will press tho repeal
of the law, requiring tho banks to pay into
the State treasury five per cent a year on the
hills ill i-irr-lilut imi rim-innr tlir>ir xiwtinniilnn
The law is a good one and should be enforced'
for tho reason that the hank is making intercat
on its outstanding hills, out of the people,
when it cannot be made to redeem its bills
in spoeie. This penalty of suspension is a
light one, and should not bo repealed. This
will probably bo the only point in issue disposed
of this session.
Tho bill to establish a separato Court of
Appeals, with kindred measures, arc again
betorc the llou?o. They were defeated last
pension, and will probably share the name
fato at thin.
The new State House is rising in magnificent
style. The Supcrintendatit is progressing
finely with the work. The walls are of
rock, several feet in thickness, with the outside
beautifully polished. It will take sever
ai years more, and many thousands of dollars,
yet to complete it; lmt it will be a magnificent
building when finished.
The election for United States Senator was

we charged no one with ignorance, hut simp- r
