GUITEAU. HANGING OF THE ASSASSIN OF PRESIDENT GARFIELD. OUITEAU's I.A?T HOURS. I WASHINGTON, Juno 29.-Up to thia foro noon Quitoau was apparently unconcerned about what waa transpiring about bim. Ho slept until about 8 o'clook, whou bo took for breakfast a pound of broiled steak with un limited potatoos, bread and buttor and a quart of coffee. Later io tho day aa his rotativos nod frionds paid farewell visits, ho occasionally gavo way to n little oxoitomont, but tho only mani fes tut ion was when a boquotwa? brought from his sister, Mr*. Scoville. This weak ening, howovor, wai rory brief. Ho mndo his will, bequeathing his budy to Hov. Dr. Iiiuka, bis spiritual advisor, with the injune* tion that it shall not bo dovotod to any mer? eonary purpose. His book is also left to Iiiuka. His oounsol, Charles Heed, drew tho will. When taking leave of his sister ho insisted upon kissing her for tho last timo through tho bars of his ooll, asking that it bc so recorded. Either Warden Crocker or Assistant Warden Hush was present at all thoso final interviews. At times Quitcau broko out in donunoiation ol Pr?sident Arthur tor his oowardico and of tho warden and his deputy, whom, ho accused of hounding him to doath. Quitoau said ho wished to bo banged at noon sharp, but Waroon Crocker bas set tho hour at half past ono. TUE FANGS OF CONClENCE. Last night ho was up until three o'clock, paoiog his cell. Ho is in tho same state of mind now that ho was when ho was first brought to tho coll after the assassination. Then his brain was in suoh au excited con dition that ho could not sloop, and (or weeks the only rest that ho recoivod was through tho uso of opiates. Tho physician in ut ten -v dance nt the jail was obligod to givo Quitcau, from timo to timo, bromides almost powerful enough to kill an ordinary mau in order to make his sloop. Up to two weeks ugo tho gas light in front of tho coll annoyed tho prisoner, and ho hud it turned out every night. Now ho does not liko to bo left in tho dark during tho night and docs not ask to havo tho gas light turned oil'. Ho hus boon very busy endeavoring to impress tho guards with tho idoa that they should not tako part in tho execution to-morrow. He has told ull who como near him thut Qed will scud them to boll for the part they aro going to play, and tho only way they eau eavo themselves from destruction and damnation is to resign their placos at tho jail at once and go out beforo lightening strikes. Mr. Hicks, the spiritual consoler of tho prisoner, continues to bo very much edified with his conversation with tho assassin. Mr. Hicks seems to havo real sympathy for him, nnd in ono or two inter views published hero ho says that ho learns n good deal from the prisoner. Tho prisoner's logic, coolness and keenness of observation all produco a groat impression upon Preacher Hicks. Ho does not know whether Quitoau is insano or not. Ho thinks it would bo n sort of impertinence for him to sit in judg ment upon a man who has shown such supe? rior reaeoning qualities to his own. Ho ovidently enjoys his communion with tho prisoner because be says that Quitcau is so ready with scriptural quotations and uses tho regulation forms with a dexterity "[and volu bility that stagger oven tho Rev Mr. Hicks himself when it comes to competition. Quitcau spent most of tho day in reading his Bible and one of Hammond's Evangelical works. The latter was given him by War., don Crocker a day or two ago. At (hut timo tho latter and Quitcau wero engaged in a conversation on religious subjects, and the warden epoko of this work, which advances tho doctrino of freo grnco and titivation. Quitcau oxpressed a desiro to read it, nnd having been allowed to do so by General Crooker, ho has now almost completed it and committed to memory a number of leading passages. Tho heat is having a great effect on tho assassin and is causing a noticeable rc? duotion in his weight. Ho now weighs 135 pounds, about tho samo as when ho first entered tho jail. His highest weight hinco his confinement hero has beon 142. Ho was not vory cheerful to-day and manifested no dis position to talk. In tho morning a bath was given him, and from that limo until tho close of the day, except during tho interval occu pied by the visit of tho Rev. Dr. Hicks, Qui teau lounged about his cell, fanning himself and reading his Bible. TUE PRISONER'S VITUPERATION. Monday night Quitoau soomod for a short time to bo moved by a feeling of unusually violent hatred for all who lind boon concerned in his trial or woro to bo instrumental in carrying tho sentonoo into effect. "Arthur will go to hell," ho exolaimed, passionately; "the Cabinet will go to boll, Judgo Bradloy will go to hell, tho Supremo Court of tho District will go to hell, Qenoral Crocker will go to boll, And," turning to tho death watcher, "you, too, will go to hell." With each repetition of tho word "holl" he brought his fist violently down upon tho tablo to givo it additional emphasis. This afternoon, as Poputy Warden Rush patted tho door of tho cell, Quiteau said to him in a snarling tone; "If you havo anything to do with ray hang? ingyon will bo damned. You will havo to take the responsibility." UNDER TUB GALLOWS. WASHINGTON, U. 8. JAIL. June 80. Quitoau was very restless during tho most of latter putt of the night, not sleeping moio than twenty minutes ut a timo. Tow ur Ja morning ho fell into a sounder sleep from < sheer exhaustion. Ile roso a (ow minutes ? after 5 and breakfasted heartily at 0.30. < When tho cook took his breakfast into tho , coll, Guiteau told bim to bring bis dinner in , at ll o'clock promptly. Tho Kev. Dr. Hicks, who remained ut tho jail all night, was > oalled into tho prisoner's coll soon ofter bo rose, and held a conversation on roligious ] aubjeots with him. At 8 o'olook Dr. Hicks Baw tho prisoner again, when ho made a re- , quest to havo a bulb, and asked tho Roverend < gontloman to go out and 6ce tho scaffold, und ( Joshed him to arrange with tho warder to t Imvo tho trap sprung as soon after 12 o'olook ) rs possible Ho also c xprcscd considerable \ inxiety lest somo accident should ooour, and i nsihtod that Dr. Hicks should BOO that tho i icafRdd and its appurtonanoos wero all in t proper and safe condition. After Ouitoau had i 1 imposed of this matter he road a poem com- < tosed by himself, whioh ho calls''Simplicity, i ir religious body talk." After reading it ( doini ho attempted to sing it but broke \ lown in tho effort, which would havo ap- j icared quito ridiculous if tho occasion lind ? jeen less solemn. Quilcuu then talked for , tomo timo about his futuro. Ho remarked ( hat his heart was tender. 'T don't think," < io said, "I can go. through this ordeal with- < mt weeping, not because of any great weak- | toss, for principio in mo is strong, jut because I am nearer tho other . vorld. I hold to tho idea that Qod inspired ito." Ouiteuu subsequently asked that in j lis books all complimentary remarks about j President Arthur and his administration bo t ilitninatcd. Then ho presented to Dr. Hicks ? ho books that havo boon tho companions of , tis lonely hours. Ile told Dr. Hicks that ho \ vuntcd him to oiler tho first prayer on thc | cttffold, saying that ho (Guiteau) would then , oat! his favorito scriptural passag?, tho X , Minpter of John, and offer a prayer on his , wu account. Thou ho intended, he said, lo i ead his poem, "Siniplioity." Ho dosired to lave (ho execution BO arranged that just ns to uttered thc last word thc drop should bo I prong. I John W. Guiteau arrived nt tho jail nt 9 1 .'clock, and was followed in a few minutes , ey Warden Crocker, and tho two consulted < rilli Dr. Hicks as to tho disposition of tho ' icdy. At 9.15 tho prisoner carno out into ho corridor and exercised for fifteen min dos. TUE UU?H OF THE REPORTERS. I Tho rotunda was thrown open at 10 o'clock ? nd tho newspaper men flocked in. Thoro 1 roro fow others thero except tho jail guards 1 nd n squad of artillery mon. Karly this norning tho prisoners in that part of tho < ail overlooking tho court where tho gallows 1 tands wero all removed to other quarters. ?evenly policemen aro posted along tho oadway outside thc building. In addition ( u tho jail guard all tho available men of 1 lattery C, United Stales Artillery, aro on t ut y inside thc jail. Shortly before elovm Guiteau culled for aper, and for twonty minutes was engoged n copying what ho calls "His Prayer upon bc Scaffold." At ll o'olosk Mrs. Scoville rrived and besought admission. She was aboring under groat excitement. Juhn W. Joiteau went out to soo her and persuaded er to make no further attempt to gain nd. uission. While Dr. Dicks was in tho coll a' 1 o'clock Guiteau made some requests as to ho execution, and having made copies of his 'Last Prayer," poems und other writings, oro up tho originals. Ho had his boots ducked and U3 ibo Doctor wtis leaving hts ell his dinner was brought in. Quitcuu alo t with touch relish. When Dr. Hicks carno out of tho cell ho aid tho prisoner had not tho slightest four. 'We have had a pleasant religious talk. Ho eels now that his preparation is finished md he is ready for tho last formality. Ho ?ommits himself (o God with (bo utmost ?onfidcnco. I. .think ho will show same imotion because thc nervous strain is so ;rcnt." Shortly before 12 o'clock Guiteau SEEMED TO litt EA K DJW.X completely, burst into tears and sobbed bys-? terically. Alter thc dont h warrant was rend to (ho prisoner by tho warder ho became much moro composed and turning away bogan ta brush his hair with his old appear ance of swaggering sangfroid. THE (CENE ABOUT THE JAM. this morning was unique, tho office of thc jail having boen given up completely to the largo corps of newspaper reporters, and a squad of them aro scribbling away on ovory tablo, window-sill and every projection that offers rest for paper. Many newspaper re porters remained all night. The private ofllco of tho winder has boen transformed temporarily into a telegraph ofllco and be fore 9 o'clock eight instruments wero click ing a morry accompaniment to the gloomy preparations going on inside tho jail. At 9 o'clock thoro was a constant stream of per sons coming into tho jail. Tho scono outside was like that of somo grout gala occasion. Sumo ontorprising colored men had erected booths from which they dispensed lemonade, cakes and other refreshments to tho weary mid thirsty pooplo who had begun boforo 9 o'olook to nssomblo in tho road in front of tho jail. Mounted messengers speeding to and from tho eily, and carriages bringing visitors to tho jail, kept a continual cloud of dust covering tho road that winds through tho wido common that Hos between tho jail and tho city. At 10.10 A. M. Guiteau expressed a dosiro to tnko a bath, and a large tub was taken into his coll. At this hour no ono save tho ''Death watch" was with him. Guiteau norvouely disrobed and plunged into tho bath. lt was quito npparont to tho guard, who was oioscly watching his ovcry move ment, that his objeot in asking for a bath was simply to obtain somo omploymot whioh might distract his thoughts from tho dread cor.tomplation of his approaching death. Ho ovinocd incroasod nervousness and his un certain movemente, distraught manner and marked tromor in his tonos when ho attempted to speak impressed tho guard with tho belief that he is rapidly weakening. A few minutes lator tho iron gates at tho end of tho corridor clicked, then Wardoo Crooker made hi* nppenrnnco, and a moment later tho FAMILIAR PIOURB OF OUITEAU fra? econ. Hts fuco was pallid and (be muscles about his mouth moved nervously. Dthor (hun this thcro woro no signs of fult* jring. Tho procession moved quickly to tho icc flo Ul and Guiteau asoendod twelvo some what steep .?lop? with as muoh steadiness as jould be expected from rt mon whoso arms .vere tightly pinioned behind him. At tho Mt stop ho faltered for a moment, but was misted by two officers, who walked ono on lither sido. Upon reaching tho platform Juitcau was plaood immediately behind th? trop facing to tho front of the scaffold. 3apt. Coleman stood upon bis right, Mr. lobort Strong upon his loft and Mr, Wood card dircotly behind him. Mr. Jones took i position on tho North sido noar tho upright if tho boam. Qcn. Crooker, tho wardor, ook bis position' at the Southeast cornor of ho structure. There was a slight delay vbilo a crowd of two hundred und fifty or ?oro spectators woro pushing anil jostling brough tho door loading from tho rotunda to bo corridor, at tho lowor end of which tho ;allow8 was placel Guiteau meanwhile ;ozod upon tho crowd, lookod up at tho beam ver his head and quickly mado a survey of ll tho dread paraphernalia. As soon as tho rowd bod gained access General Crooker raved them to uncoicr and all hoads woro tared. DR. HICKS MADE AN INVOCATION i these words; "Fulbert Out of tho depths ;c cry to Theo. Hoar Thou our'supplication >r tho sake of Josus Christ our Savio tr, who as mndo full propitiation for us. Bohold his, Thy servant. Wo humbly pray that bou wilt deliver him nt this supreme mo lent of his lifo. Let thy light descend upon im. Liberate his soul from prison.

Lamb of God that taketh away ic sins of tho world have mcroy on usl .mon and amen. During Ibo prayer Goiloau stood with owed hoad. At its conclusion Dr. Hicks pened tho Mihlc and Guiteau, in finn tones, lid: "I will road a selection from the 10th haptor of Matthew, from thc 28th to tho 1st verses inclusivo." Ho then read in a lour, strong voice and with good intonation, towing litt lo if any nervousness. Dr. Iiiuka produced a manuscript which ns prepared hy tho prisoner this morning, nd held it beforo him while Guiteau read, /hilo Dr. Dicks was arranging ibo manu? jrlpt GOitC.au exhibited slight nervousness nd moved eovcral times from ono foot to tho thor. He sum recovered his composure, loked over tho sea of upturned faces ?md dd: "I am now going to read you my lust yingprajcr." Ho then read in a loud tono und with ?tst i net and deliberative emphasis tho fol' iwingi "ilV VYIXa PRAYER ON TUE CALLOWS. "Father, now Iga to Thee and tho Saviour, huvo finished ?bc work Thou guvo.st mo to o and I am only too happy to go to Thoo, ho world dues not yet appreciate my mis? on, but Thou knowe*- it- Thou knowest lum didst inspire Garfield's removal and lily good can como from it.

At several points he half paused and cn loavorcd to impart nh increased emphasis 0 bis words by tho peculiar facial expression io often observed during tho trial when he .vas ungcrod at something which was said or lone. This was peculiarly noticeable when io ? Duded to President Arthur, and when io declared this nation would "go down in blood." When ho had finished reading his prayer he Ogain surveyed the crowd nnd SR'd, Mill with a linn voice, ' I ain ti >\v going to read Mime verses which arc intended to indi cate my feeling at tho moment of leaving this vrorld. li set tn utusio tljoy inav bo rendered effective.

"I am going to the Lardy, I am Sn glad, I nm going to tho Lordy, I am so glad, J am going to ibo L ndy, Glory Halleluiah ! Glory Hallelujah!

But they huvo murdered mo for it, And that is tho reason I am going to tho Lui dy, Qlory Hallelujah, glory Hallelujah! I am going to tho Lordy." (Hero again bis feelings ovorcamo him, find ho loaned his head on tho shoulder of Mr .Hicks nnd sobbed pitifully. Still ho went on:) "I wonder what I will do when I get to tho Lardy?

(Raising his voioo to tho highest pitch thal ho could command;) "Glory Hallelujah, I um with tho Lord!" This closed tho chant, nod thou tho Hov Dr. Hicks gave to Guiteau his VINAL H K s ionic t?o N' and farewell, saying: "Ood, tho Father, bc with theo and give thoo poaoo for ever more.' Thc attendants then pinioned his legs plaoed tho noose over his hoad, and careful)) adjusted it about Iiis neck. Air. Strong placed tho black oap over his head and us he did so Guile,ni called out io luuu tones: "Glory! Glory! Olor)!" Instantly tho spring was touched, tho dmr. fell at 12 45 1?. M., and CUM KAU SWUNG IN AIU. Tho body turned partly orouud, but there wus not tho slightest perceptible niovomcul of limbs, or any evidence of conscious effort to move them.. When tho drop foll a yoll was sent up by some persons inside tho jail, This was echoed outside by tho voices of s thousand or more people, who hurrahed lus tily. Thero was a general onslaught by the populace upon the door, which was so power ful that tho officers wero unable to with stand it. Hundreds of people crowded into tho office, ?ind there was a terrible crush at tito doors. For at least forty seconds aftor thc drop fell tho body hung motionless, then there wus a slight motion of thc shoulders aud legs duo to musculur contraction. Three minutes ofter tlie drop fell thc body was lowered tc bc examined by thc physician*. Thero wus a decided action of tho heart for fully four teen minutes and the pulse fluttered for two minutes after. When tho body had hung with feet just touching ui? ?round for over half an hour it was lowered into tho ooffiu whioh wus waiting for it under tho scaffold. Tho physicians decided at once thut the neck hud been broken. When the body was lowered the L.uek oap was removed and thc faced exposed. The features wero pa!? lid and composed. About tho mou th thero Wa? considerable moisture. After tho body had been urratigcd in thc coffin Warder Crocker ascended the stope of the scaffold and, addressing tho crowd which was kept back from the scaffold by a lino of officers, said that those who desired could pass alongside of the scufiold and VIEW THB BODY, Thc crowd of spectators formed into line, aud pissing between tho sc,Hold nod wall of the jail viewed tho dead tuon? Some jail officers, two or three physicians und Dr. Hicks stood ubout tho collin. Jun. W. Guiln ui joined this company aed funned his dead brother's ficu to heep away tho flics. John W. Guiteuu did not go upon thc RcufTold, but stood during tho scene just within tho linc of officers ut tho bottom of the Etops. When liberty wus given to thc crowd to view tho remains thc scaffold was ut once lilied willi people, who curiously examined every joint und bolt. At 1.40 P. M. thc lid of tho coffin waa put in place and thc body wus borne to thc juil chapel where thc physicians who were lc make ibo autopsy wero assembled. Guiteau just before tho trap was sprung dropped t piece of paper from hts hand. This pa pei was given him by Warder Crocker to b< dropped by thc condemned man us n feign a that be was ready. John W. Guiteau Haiti to tho reporter, just after tho ex?cution that he was glad it was over. "Whut wil bc done with the remains?'1 asked tho rc? porter. "Wo will bury him hero in tho jai whcio lie will bc sufo," said Guiteau. '*lli will not be taken out of tho jail.'' The spo indicated by the warder as OUlTEAU'S BCIMAL I'LA OB is iu thc same couit us thc gallows und i few yards from il. Guiteau, when ho cain out into I he rotunda from hin cell, lookci on I tn and collected but very palo. His arm; were pinioned behind him and lie held hi head creel. He gazed ou tho crowd with out flinching. Ho Wore a black suit o clothes and instead of a eel ur had a hanker chiof thrown loosely ubout his tieck. Tlios who expected "sickening" or distrcssin scenes were disappointed. Guiteau WM I ki hi m ly through thc rotuudu und court, H stumbled on otic of tho steps leading up t the scullold, but recovered himself iininedi ately. When ho began to read his voie was loud and firm, lie gave thc words no and then a sort of singing inflection like preacher reading n hymn. THE AUTOPSY. At half-past 2 o'clock Dr. P. II. Lot in concluded his examination of thc eyes of th dead tuan. Doth eyes were so itidislim that no opinion could bo formed rf thc condition. Thc physicians who performe tho autopsy were: Dis. D. S. Lamb, J. 1 Halligan and 7, T. Savers. In additto to these physicians there were present ?Dr Noblo, Young, Robt. Rybnrn, A. IC. Mac Donald, Johnson Elliott, S. A. H. MoKil P. J. Mixphy, Chas. U.

Ilaguer and Dis. Birdau and Parish. John W. Guiteau and D Hicks wero present for a short limo, bi left tho jail before the conclusion. A close examination of thc body showe that Guitcuti'a neck wus broken and th tho ropo had cut deep into (lesli of Iiis mc Them wus a disposition on the port of sou of those present to get mementoes of thc o easies! at tiny cost. Tho jail officers tool; tl ropo from thc gallows und scerctud it soon HS thc noosn wus removed from tl tho dead men's neck. TUB MILITARY GUARD that had been on du'.y at thc juil ever sin tile 2d of July last marched away. Tin wero loudly cheered us they left. Dr. Bil mid his son arrived at tho jail ut half~pu8t o'clock, and joined thc physicians Obgagi in making tho autopsy. A reporter of tl Associated Press was the only nowspap mun admitted to tho chapel whero tho bot wus bcin^ dissected. Tho operations thrco surgeons engaged in tho uutop wore watched with tho greatest interest I tho others, who crowded about tho tab! Aftor tho examination of tho oyos tho bru was removed and inspootcd. Then t! body was out open, and a thorough ai complete examination made, with tho VIC of determining all physiological faots th I could bo of interest io connection with tho I OBSO. ' THE BRAIN woe found to be io a normal condition and weighed forty-nine o mi ces. Tho heort weighed a little over nine ounces cud wis in a healthy condition os wore all tho other in* internal organs. Dr. Hartigan left the juli eoou niter 4 o'clock, taking with him Qui tes u's br?ia. WASHINGTON, Juno 30, 10 P. M.-Dr. Hartigan, who had tho custody of Guiteau's brain, took it at half-past four to (he Army Modioal Museum on 10th street whero iu a room set apart for photographic purposes a uumbcr of surgeous and physicians had as sembled to continuo tho autopsy. Amoug . thoso pcrcsent wcro Drs. Nichol and Mud" Donald of New York, and Drs. Lamb, Lor ing, Somers, (leyburn, Elliott, Godding of Washington. Tho dircotiou of operation? was by unanimous cousent giveu to Dr. Lamb. It had been tho intention of tho sur geons to begin by mu king o plaster cast of the braiu with-a view to tho permanent pre servation iu that form of its configuration and external characteristics, but the organ was found so soft and yielding as to rendor this impracticable. Resort was therefore had to photography. On account of tho talo neas of tho hour and of a dull overcast sky a stay of operations wus necessarily re quired, but after placing tho bruin on a mass of curled hair, such os that used in upholstery and disposiug it in tho lorin which it had during life, several ucgatives were taken of it from various points of view with more or less successful results. Tho ana tomical examination of the bruin wus then resumed. This examination, which will include a careful microscopical study of thc tissue and structural characteristics of tho organ, will certainly not bo finished before to-morrow afternoon, and moy occupy sev eral days. RESULT OF THE AUTOPSY. Tho result of .tho autopsy ou tho body of Guitcnu, so for as eau bo learned to-night from surgeons who were present, moy be briefly staled us follows: After surveyiug tho boJy externally tho surgeons proceeded to lay opon thc brain cavity nod thorax und to examino tho organs therein contained, Tho bruin was found to weigh forty-niuo and one- half ounces, which IB a little more than tho weight of tho average human brain, lt was well formed uud presented no external evidences of disease or lesion. The lungs und heart were in their nnrmu) condition, but there was a slight milling of thc arotu in thc vicinity of ibo heart. The neck was nut dislocated or fractured, as thc surgeons at first supposed, but ibero WOB II rupture of tho siernocleidouiastoi muscle on both sides, us well aa of thc thyroid membrane It fol lows, therefore, that, death resulted from suffocation and nut from dislocation of the spinal vert cb tn>. A partial examination wu? made of Ibo abdominal viscera, but it hud uut been completed ut tho limo thu au topsy was .suspended. Tho spleen wus found to bo considerably enlarged, its weight being (ificen ounces, or moro than twioo that of a normal spleen. Thc other abdominal organs, eo far as they wcro- ex amined, presented no unusual features. The repuit of thc surgeons who arc engaged in making tho autopsy will probably not bc rcudy lor publication before next Wednes day. UUITKAu's ROBY lil) HI ED IN TUB JAIL YARD.

Tiio Extra Sossion-Legislative Proceedings. COLUMBIA, S. C., July 1, 1882. EDITORS Cou ni KR : Tbc extra session of thc General Assembly promises to bc thc shortest held siucc tho war. Tho Senators and Repre sentatives from thc various counties of (ho State have incl, thoroughly imbued with thc ?ilea that thc least legislation done now thc best, and con sequently without a dissenting voice it has been determined to confine legislation to Ibo special subject for which thc session waa called. Two special committees wcro appointed, charged with tho duties of mapping out legisla tion and redistricting thc Congressional Districts to conform lo Ibo recent apportionment of rep resentatives by thc Congress of tho United Slates. Thc preliminary work for thc cnactmnnt of laws embodying thc views of tho Dcmocraoy was done by a Democrat ic caucus. Thc com mil tee of two tippo! at cd from euch Congressional District lo OOilSidor what subjects should receive legislative attention reported thal ihey defined il unwise to enter into any general legislation ni (his session, nud recommended (hut (ho work bo confined to matters of elec tions mid kindred subjects: 1st. Altering tho constitutional provisions in reference to the creation of new counties in accordance with Gov. Uugood's message. 2d. A change of constitution BO ns to enable (ho General Assembly to fix (he dny for holding 1 Gio general election for Slate and county officers. 3d. To amend (ho election law in reference to 1 polling precincts. 4th. To extend Ihc lime for registration. Th eso several mullera were passed upon in C0UCU9, preparatory (o (heir int rod a el io n in tho Scnato and House, willi the understanding thal tho action of tho caucus should bc binding. ' Thc joint resolution to ohniigo tho constitution so ns to enable tho General Assembly to fix tho , day of general elections for State mid county offices, was passed with great unanimity. Tho , object of ibis amendment is to separate Smto and Federal elections. Tho registration and olcolion laws woro also , amended in a few unimportant particulars, i Corrections ns (o names of supervisors of rcgis , (ration and their assistants, in which there was ? uomo confusion in thu Act, wns made, und a few I additional polling precincts woro mado. ) Interference und obstruction of supervisors * and their nssistunts was made a misdemeanor r with hoavy penalties.

Ijjh ""r once to (ho crcatig;? of nev/ counties created at great diff?rence of opinion, and of oourso rnuob discussion, and ut this writing has not been' settled aud is still under discussion. Tboso matters agrcod upon in canons havo' been embodied inappropriate bills and ar? now on their passage through both bouses. Tho committoo of ono from each county ou' tho subject of redistricting tho Stat? made the' following report to the caucus which, after' much discussion, was adopted as follows: First Dist riot-Charleston and Berkeley (parl)t Colloton (part), Orangoburg (part), Lex ington. Second District-Hampton, Colloton (part), Barnwell, Aiken, lidgefiold. Third District- Abbeville, Newberry, Ander son, Piokcus, Oeouce. Fourth District-Groeuvillo, Sparlanburg (part), Laurene, Union (part), Fairfield, Rioli? land. Fifth DIstrlot-York, ChcBlor, Lonoaster, Union (port), Sparlanburg (part), Chesterfield,. Kershaw. Sixth District - Clarendon, Williamsburg (part), Darlington, Marlboro, Marlon, Horry. Scvooth DIstrlot-Georgetown, Williamsburg, (part), Sumter, Richland (part), Orangoburg (part), Chnrlestou aud Berkeley (part), Golle lon (part), Beaufort. This measure is now also on its passage' through both houses. Thus thc work for whioh tho General Assem bly was called has been quickly dono and willi great good feeling from all sections of the State. Besides this legislation no other work will bo dono exoept to correct a few clerical errors im the Code, whioh wcro recommended by tho Codo Commissioners. A bill also to extend tho time for physicians lo register under the lalo Act, requiring regis tration of all physicians who practice in tho Stale, was allowed. An ineffectual attempt to reopen the subject of registration and HID stock law was made. This was promptly voted down and theso fruit ful subjects of discussion and difference out off. It is thought now that tho Legislature will adjourn by tho ?tlv at furthest. Thc weather in Colombia is fearfully hot. With this and the mosquitos n mountain legis lator longa for home where cool nights and absenco ot tho songs of these insects gives him refreshing sleep. o* s. V. July 4, 1.882v Thc caucus after much discussion-bus adopted a joint resolution amending tho constitution in' reference to the creation of new counties. Tho1 resolution proposes to restrict thc formation of new counties to an area of 400 squaro miles and to the 124lh part of thc population. Tho constitution requires 625 squaro miles. This' change proposes not loss th?n'400 squaro miles and a population of not less- than 124th part o tho whole population of the Slato to each county: The'bill to declare thc jury law iu'reference lo standing asido jurors In criminal cnoes wau voled down. Tho law is so plain on Ibis subject that it was thought by tho lawyers not' lo be a qucstion worthy of legislation. Thc various measures heretofore written) about are all on their passago and tho Assembly ?ill, it is thought, adjourn Wednesday ncxt,.5tli> instant. Tho expenses of this extra session will bo about $16,624 41 or thereabouts. Legislation like courts is expensive and thc least of it the belter. Law making and law enforcing are* expensive luxuries, but aro necessary and will be so as long as human nature is human nature. lt is thought that tho redistricting Act will give thc Democrats six out of the seven districts, one dist rici being given absolutely to tho Radi oals. This wilt put power into tho hands of i lie Democracy and besides putting $30,000 per year in circulation in Democratic circles, (the pay of ono Congressmen being $5,000 per year)' will enable tho Democracy of the State to havo larger i ntl ac ncc in tho National Congress.
