Columbia, January 17.-Bditora Cou-1 rier: Complying with your request, I ? will try to give you a brief report of th?* proceedings of, the General Assembly during tbe last week. In accordance with the mandate of the Constitution tho two houses convened at noon on Tuesday, 18th instant, and at once proceeded to the organisation for business. - The Senate was oallod to order by Lieu tenant Governor Tillman, and all the members responded to the oall of their names except Senator Butler, of Chero kee, who was detained at home by the illoess of a member of bis family, and Senator Mciver, who was with his dis tingu? shed* father, the late Chief Justice Molvor. The new Senators were sworn in and Hon. J. C. Sheppard was unani mously elected as President pro tem, and Hon. Robt. R. Hemphill, the veteran Clerk of tho Senate, was re-eleoted to servo another term. Rev. O. A Darby, D. 1)., was elected chaplain. The annual message of the Qovernor was reoeived and read. The Senate proceeded to eloot the membors of the various committees. The Senator from Oconoe was eleoted to places on the following committees: Dispensary, Penal and Charitable Insti tutions, County Offices and Officers, In corporations, Privileges and Elections, Mines and Mining, Printing and Rail roads and Internal Improvements. A message was receivod from the Gov ernor announcing tho death of Chief Justice Molver, and out of reapoct to this groat and good man, eminont law yer and distinguished Judge, the Senate adjourned until Wednesday. In the House of ReproBontatives the Hon. Mendel L. Smith, of Kershaw, waa electod Spenkor, receiving 97 votes of the 118 oast. Tom C. Hamer waa re-eleoted clerk without opposition. Rev. R. N.

Brown, agriculture, pnb lio buildings and penitentiary, tho latter of which he ?B chairman ; Dr. E. C. Doyle. Stato house and grounds and medical affairs. As usual, vory little of real legislation has boon accomplished tho first woek of tho session. Sonator Marshnll has intro duced a bill on that muoh discussed question, the regulation of child labor in mining and manufacturing establish ments, by which it is provided that ohild lahor ls eliminated from such establish ments gradually in throe years. It is said that President Smythe of Pelzor and Bolton mills, President L. W. Parker of tho,mill at Grier's, and President Clark of ono of tho mills hero at Columbia, aro favoring Sonator Marshall's bill. Mr. Aull, of tho House, has also intro duced a bill on the samo subject. Senator Kays r>r, of Orangeburg, has in troduced a bill for compulsory education^ Mr. Toole, of Aiken, has introduced in tho I louse a bill to further reduce the stock of tho State disponsary. Souator Gaines, of Greenwood, has introduced a bill to regulate the trafilo in socd cotton and unpaoked lint cotton; Sonator blake, of Abbeville, a hill to fix timo for payment of taxes and penalties, and Sonator Baysor anothor bill on same subject; Sonator Balsora bill to amend t he Constitution so aa to provide for biennial sessions of tho General Assem bly; Sonator Warren, of Hampton, a bill on samo subject. Senator Hydriok, of Spartanburg, a bill to give tho Railroad CommisBionors jurisdiction of telephone linos iu this State. These are some of the most important bills, and somo of thom, it is likely, will receive consider able discussion later. Tho Governor has returned to the Sonato with his voto, tho bill to require tho Stato Treasurer to strike from the books Blue Bidge Bailroad bonds, and it is likely that tho perennial bill on tho subject of these old lost bonds will hob up later. Tho Qovernor has also vetoed tho bill, passed at last session, abolishing tho office of Phosphate Inspector. Tho State has been forced to borrow $i00,000 to moot the appropriations and expenses of last, year, and this Logisla turo will have to solvo the problem of ropaying this loan and tho expenses of tins year without increasing tho already suflicontly largo lovy of live mills; and upon tho delegation from Oconee will dovolvo the taBk of solving the problem of providing for the large indebtedness created by tue last Board of County Com missioners, atld for tho expenses of this year, without allowing those who have done tho labor oxpecting to be paid for it to sutler, and without at the same time increasing the tax rate oppressively.
