THE SENTINEL - I IM-r 1s PUR L.IIk EVEIIY THURs AY,. Thursday, December 13, 1877. Editorfal Correspondence. 60LUSITA, S. C., Dec. 6, 1877. Dear Sentinel: No important mons nuros of legielation havo yet passed through the Legislature. The usury bill, the passage of which I havo heros tofore expressed somo doubts, is, at t4is timo, and has been ior the last Jour days, under discussion, with a fair prospect of its protraction for several days to come. Of its final passage, by a very decidod majority, I havo not, at this time, the least doubt. The committees appointed at the Special session of tho Legislaturo last spring to investiguto tho frauds on the State Government, under Repub lican administrations, and tho legality or the bonded indebtedness of thQ State, have not yet submitted their reports, and, of courso, the extent of their discoveries has not yet been mado public; but rumor has it that the bond committee discoveled that about two millions of the funded debt, under what is known as the scaling act, is fraudulent, and will recommend that that amount be eliminated from the settlement of' the public debt under that act. .This is more rumor; but for its foundation I am lead to believe thero is somo good reasons. Outside of what has already been mado public, I know nothing as to the develop monts mado by the investigating com mitteo, and will not oven venturo an opinion. The election of Associtao Justices of the Supreo Court to fill the vacan cios occasioned by the expiration of the term of Judge McLvor and the re signation of Wright; a Judge of the 7th Circuit, vice Northrop, appoin ted United States District Attorney; an Attorney General of the Stato, vice Gen. Conner, resigned; a register of mosno conveyance for Charleston county, and a Speaker of the House of Representatives, vice GAen. 'Wallace, has absorbed most of the time of a majority of thio mrembers, and, until those matters were off' of our hands, not much legislative work was expec ted. Th~Ie candidates were all nomi nated by ai caucus of the Democratic members of the Gcne'-al Assembly which, of course, was cquivalent to an election. On Monday nigh t a caucus was held to nominafo a candidate for the posis tion of Associate Justice, held by .McLvor, and ais thero was no opposi, tion, ho wvas unanimously nominated, and on Tuesday following was unani, mnously elected, receiving the entire vote of both par'ties in each IIouse. On Tuesday night another caucus was held to nominate candidlates for the other positions. General Wallace had no opposition, andl was unani :n:ously nominated. For Associate Justice, vice Wright,, the cand itates were Col. A. C. Hlaskell, of Columbia, ex-Governor M. L. Bonham, of Edge field, and the Hion. W. D. Porter, of Charleston. T wo ballots were taken. lIaskell leading in each, when on the third ballot, lionham was withdrawn, and theo contest narrowed down bon twcon IRaskoll and Porter', and Has kell was nominated by a very dlecided mnjority on the third ballot, and his nomination was made uinanimous. For Register of Mesne Conveyance of Charleston county, there were sev cral candidates, but Matj. C. Kerrison, Jr., was the successful one, and all the gentlemen, as above mentioned were elected by joint ballot on Wednesday following, without opposition. For Speankorrf the House, the can, Vdidates before the caucns were, Messrs. Sheppard, of Edgefield, Orr, of An, derson, and Aldrich, of Barnwell. Thell con test on Wednesday night be,~ tween Shieppa.rd and Orr .was c1os0 and exciting, Mr. Aldrich having been withdrawn early in the contest. Each candidates friend stuck to his man with bullsdog tenacity, and at half past 12 o'clock the caucus adjourned without Smaking a nomination. To night the ~uOus reassembled, and Sheppard was nominated on the first ballot, the vote - standing Shoppard 44, Orr 84--45 bdig necessary to a choice. Before the volte was announced, a delegate from 'ChadLeston changed his vote Afom:%%,0t'f4e Sheppard. This gave bhoppar4the'roquisito mejority, and he was, on motion, declared the una-. a,nimous choice of 4ho caucus for Speak or of the House of Representatives, and #ill e eleoted ,to morrow. Thotna KeItt, 4olored inomber fron NArborr douity '.who 'wde convloted of bIgamy a tho last term iof oqurt for the county, was, o1 Sa ,10r.day Jast,.xpollod from tbo 11Masq for that offonse. There are no Mor. mons in the Logislature of this State. Tho seat - 6f l'hos. Johnson, whito carpet bagger, elected from the county of Sumter, and a member of the Mackey Iouso, last winter, war, do-. olarod vacant on the samo day on account of rofusal to purgo himself of contempt before the Ilouse at the extra session last spring. Writs of election are to bo issued by ' the Spenker for elections in each of these counties, to fill the vacancies thus caused, and it is morally certain that Democrats will be returned in their places. Many bills have boon introduced in each I1ouso, and the session at this time promises to be a long one. D. F. B. COLUIBIA, S. C., Dec. 7, 1877. Dear Sentinel: When I closed my l6ttor last night, I thought I would not writO anything morO this wok; but, believing that news froto tho Capitol of the State, at this time, is moro cagorly sought by our people than from any other place, I vonture to add something moro, even at the risk of being considored wearisome. Shoppard was fornwally elected Speaker to day, and was svorn in by the Chief Justice. I1e made a very eloquent and earnest address on ass suming the chair. Speaker Wallaco, on vacating the chair, made one of the finest and most eloquent addresses it has been my pleasure to liston to for many a day 'Ihe benefits derived by the peoplo from a Demociatic administration can not be better illustrated than by facts and figures. The Republican admin istrations of the past collected annu, ally, from 11 to 15 mills taxes anid at the end of'each fiscal year had a tie ficiency of from $300,000 to $500,000 Under Democratic government only seven mills for State purposes were levied at the extra scssion of the Les gislature, and, after defraying all the e.rpe(nses of the past fiscal year, andl rc~ scrving sufJicient money in the 2Ireasuiry to meet the interest on all the b>onds, if' it should b>e necessary, ther'e rem)a ins a surplus of sev'enty fire thiousand dollars Is it necessary to say another word oni this subject ? Tho1 facts stantd for themselves. One of the greatest savings under the present ad ministraitioni has been in the CxpenfsCs of public pr-intinmg. One year thme liepublicanis appropri ated, for the public printing alone ,Lthe enormous sum of $225,000, and f'or no year were the expenses less than $50, 000. At the extra session we apprte pr1ialted only $10,000 for this pur*pose, and, after parying for all the printing, including the work done for the regu jar and spcial sessions, there remains an unexpended balance in the Treasury of nearly *3,500-- a saving, compared with the lowest exp)enses incurr'ed in any one year under the IRopublicans, of about $42,500. Theno facts alone, without hundreds of' oth ers which rmight be produced, are sufficient to condemn, for all time to come, in this State, 'yvbat was once knownm as the Republican par~1ty, and to give the Democratic parrty an in, dlefinite lease of power. By personal application at the Ad jutant and Inspector General's offico, I have succeeded in procuring, for the "lLamp)ton Ilome Guards" of our town, a number of Robert's breech loading rifles. These guns are not exactly suited to the use of cavalry; but, with the leather strap for the purpose of 8wifnging them around the shouldler, they will answer a very good purpose, until the State is able to give us, in exchange for them, carbines andl sabres. rhbo guns have bee n shipped, to Easley Station, to Captain J. A. Griflin. 1). F. 11. Col. A. C. lIaskell has been elected Associato Justico of the Supreme Court, to fill tho vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Wright. Col. liaskell served in the late war, win nling for himself a namo and a fame thiat any one would be pr1oud to own. lie was admitted to tho bar in 1865, and was elected Pr'ofessor of Law in the University of South Carolian in 1867. .lIe was Chairman of the $tato Democratic Executive C;ommittco in the last memorable campaign.
