In tlio Senate, Dec. 2d, the most inte -krostitig proceeding was the discussion on the Abbeville contested election. Alter much debate, and tho failure of sevoral resolutions, it was at last decided to re fer the whole subject; again to the Com mittee on Privileges aud Elections, with power to scud for" persons und papers, and instructions to report the whole af fair to the Semite. Information was received by Head onstable Huhhurd on Friday last, that iT. K. Talbert, the murderer of Rnu >lph, was killed at a wedding at the idow Hintnn's, iu Abbeville County, i Thursday night, by deny Hollings cad, State Constable. The latter with posse of Constables had surrounded the ouse where Tu Iber t was, und while the jst watched outside, Hollingshend en sred and attempted to arrest Talbert. 'he latter shot Ilolliugshead twice, oundino hitn seriou.dy when Hollings cad fired, shooting Talbert through the cart nii i killing him instantly. A resolution to meet iu Joint Assem ly on December 21st, to elect an Asso iate Justice cd' the Supreme Bench, was dopted by the House, but rejected by he Semite. A resolution to In.ist the U. S. Hag on he Capitol building was voted down al nost Unanimously. Mr. dames C. Jauney, proprietor of Iaunoy's Hotel, died of apoplexy, ou lie uiorning of the first. A final settlement between the Board f Directors of the. Blue Ridge Railroad and Contractors Cr is. wo 11 ?.V Co.. has been agreed upon. The Dircctorj agreed to pay the Contractors $75,000 and settle with Sub-coutractor Steer. The bill providing for K<juii\ Sales to be made by 'I'--' Sheriff, has been heard by the Joiut Committee on tin* Judicial -, of botn Houses. The Chirks of Courts and tlie Slier ill,*) arc linking a hard figlft lor the food and put d union t'? of these sales. The (Committee on tho Judiciary re commend that the salaries of Judges of the Supreme Bench be increased to S5000 ciich ."of the Associate Justice* und &5G00 fur the Judge of the First Circuit. Corbin introduced a bill to appropri ate $125,000 for legislative expenses. Jackson introduced a resolution an thoming the Governor to reward Hol lingsbcad lor shouting Tolbcit, which was referred to a Special Committee. A bill was introduced to authorize the Governor to appoint Commissioners in each Couuty to make lists und draw Jurors, so us to secure a hi ttcr aud more impartial selection. Intelligence was received iu Columbia on the 7th, from Newbcrry that a Mr Dunwoody, watchman tit the Railroad Depot, was murdered ou Tuesday night and the Depot robbed. Deceased was formerly a Methodist preacher. No due to the murderer. On Monday the Sheriff of Ne 1 berry was Beriouslj stabbed by Simeon Boozer. The biil to change the County scat of Bamwoll back "to Barnwcll Village was postponed until Monday next. The bill to increase the salaries of Judges .vas passed iu the Senate on Thursday. It gives 84,500 to all tin. Judges of Supremo Bench and 84000 to all the Circuit Judges. In the debate on the bill. Cain bitterly denounced Judge Carpenter as unworthy of any consideration. He said that he had treated the colored people, shamefully. Leslie and Corbin warmly advocated Car penter. In the discussion of this bill there was considerable animation and obusc. Al ter hearing speeches from Nash, Leslie and others, the Senate decided to pay the Judges td the Supreme Bench v l. 500 each per annum. 'I ben came tho clausa relating lo pay ing the Circuit Judges lour thousand dollars each. Corbin had come iu about tbi<* time, and moved that tho Judge of the First Circuit receive four thousand live hundred per annum. Arnim, (sar castically) moved to make it six thousand dollars. This called up Cain, colored, and be spoke at length in denunciation of Judge < Inrpe liter, saying, substantially: I am opposed to paying Judge Carpenter any more than any other of the Circuit Judges. It is true that when wo con sider the number of commitments he has made, tho number of men he has scut to the penitentiary, he may bo entitled to more salary; hut when wc think of the poor women aud children whose hus bands aud fathers ho has committed to tho penitentiary forjeuliug a chicken, ho is not entitled (.<? * *nnd ought not to get it; i'd* rather e^fc his salary down. I take it that men \vh > are elected tu bi! judges are selected because of their legal ability, ibr their niceJgpsc ofhouor und justice, which will give them the true understanding of tho l.'iw and cause them to mete it out to ricji and poor, white and colored aliko. Hut how is it that he (Judge C.) brought old laws to bear, and '-ruled out" ot his court a woman who bore on her tM dark hue of her race; bccitinvj she wafci colored woman ?rnled her out of his eonrt boon use she was black, and the man she sued wos white. And now we w?st pay him five hundred dollar* mure -jtbun *he other judges, beeau.se he ruled oufc of his court a woman because she wfts black. Donaldson ? V\ hy do you not, if you know these charges yen allege to be true, take the necessary steps to have liiin impeached F Cain?That is not luxjbusiuess? Leslie (jestfully)?Aj^S there no other charges that you could uTeiitiou ; is there nothing else you can tQ^ about bitn be sides the Orniigeburg nnVir 7 Cain?1 do not dcjjro to tell all I know ; he voted againstfcthe homestead law ; he objects t.i coloafel jurors. After further arguing that .Judge C.'s expenses were not much greater .?fe?u that of the other judges, and lhcreToru.hu was not entitled to a larger salary, Cain said : I'll fix him when he comes before us for re-election. I'll write jjplchrbod'' over his door-post, as his glory is dep uted. Corbin?How do yoiiknuvv you will be here t ben '! ? Cain?Oh, I'll risk it"; if T am not here, I'll see that my euftcssor fixes him. We .ire hu\ ing too manjtdbiwycrs and too much law. if there hat* been s.iine ?dd f.irmei on the bench, with go ?1 eoiumou sens*, .u that Ura'ngebufficnse. he would u..i !..\c . .1 .. * w bat? vr'uld li.ive sriMi lKiliiio'f^K\vl g?.t justice: 1 understand that he h >i:!c-'.' louud out that he made a mist ike, nod has old-red the leanest of the white man. This last clause was evidently .spoken from information whispered i<> him by Do Large, n member, who was sitting by ('am. Leslie observed this, and said that he hoped that the member ho gave this in formation would be heard in his own house I'l.AMM! DOWN TO FACTS. Corbin had listened very impatiently to this tirade of abuse* hurled up.ni his friend, Judge Carpenter, and as he got an opportunity, substantially said : I know.a 11 about that affair at Ornngcburg. The action was brought by a oolored wo man against a white man Ibr bastardy A distinguished legal gentleman of Orangeburg defended the accused, and early in the ease called the a:: ntiun of the court ton law of 1S.J7. which si., wed that the action tlgUtllSt his cliotit could not live. The Solicitor for the State? not Mr. Chamberlain, but Iiis assistant, Mr. Scabrook, of Carlestoii?examined the law presented, and stated that ho would yield, but he did n ?t call the at tention of the judge to any subsequent law. .Judge Carpenter .-aid if that was the law he would have to yield to it. al though he knew it to be uuqiicsti mably unjust. Alter the decision ho was made acquainted with the law ol 1 S."i!>. repeal ing that (>?' lSi'.T. whereupon he imme diately ordered that the defendant should i ? real rested. Judge Carpenter Wits OX eusable lor this mistake?.ill of us are liable to make them. He had not been in the State very long, and had not hud time to in.ike himself thoroughly ac quainted without' laws; and then ho had tho opinion of two native lawyers that the law presented was the right one. OUT t>F TilKlIt ELEMENT. ChIii?If be was not acquainted with the laws of theStatc,' why was he eloc ted ? Corbin?My friend (Cain is a minis ter but I'll warrant that I can filid Some thing in both the Old and New Tests? mailt which he has never heard of; and the law, like the liible, is inimitable, and a man to say ho knows all the law would be about as foolish as one who Would say that be knew all that was in the lliblo. After an eulogy to the talents, energy ami industry of Judge Carpenter, Cor bin l ?ok bis seat, before doing so, saying that as the people of Charleston County paid 8300,000 taxes per annum?more than onc-tl.ird of all paid by the rest of the State?they sl'mld have a right now to a judiji toong them. Nash?Do you think if 'twas left to the people of Charleston County they would decido to keep him ? (? Corbin?Yes, I think they would. Nash?Well, they are bigger fools than I thought they wcro. Leslie paid he thought that the "re ligious senator" (Cain) always wished to do right, nnd always meant what he said, out he did think that he had gone just a step to? far when he attacked Judge Carpenter. He was fully,convinced that even if the senator agreed to pay Judge Carpenter four thousand five hundred dollars, the House would refuse, and therefore moved that ho receive the same salary as the other circuit judges, viz : four thousand dollars. The vote was then taken, and it was agreed to pay the circuit judges four thousand dollars each, and the Senate ad journed. On Sunday morning last, J. W. Mcade, u colored member of the House, shot Mattic Stokes, a colored woman oT bad character in a bouse near the depot, Mcade has had several such adventures, having shot a woman iu Columbia during last session. He has not yet been ar rested, and being a friend of Governor Scott, will probably go Scott free. The bill to Incorporate Clnflin Uni versity has passed. _^ The bills to "amend the Charter of Orangeburg," and to Charter the Elliott Hook and Ladder Company of Orangc bbrg, have received a reading and will probably pass. A South Kit n eh/s Impression of NoilTIlKltN KARMIN?.?An intelligent gentleman from South Carolina has bec:r visiting some New York farms. We extract the following front it private note received alter his return home. He called on tho author of AValks and Talks, ? whom we found just stich tt gen tleman and fanner as was to he expected With Iiiiti we spent a vein* pleasant, and I hope not altogether unprofitable day, in seeing and discussing farming iu that beautiful country, ami the next day canto :ts fur as Lake Geneva, where wo saw Mr. Sheldon's magnificent herd of cattle and their almost marble halls?the finest held, bis neighbors say, in the world, and we were pot disposed to deny it alter seeing their broad backs; but it w is not until we were many miles away that it occurred to me to ask if anybody . vor tastes the tenderloin of cattle which s 11 for several thousand dollars apiece. * * In two matters I was disap ji intcd in Yankee farming?that in Spite of all that has been written and -aid about the preparation and saving of manure, so many ol your fanners should expose their stable manure to the de teriorating influence of sun and rain. And in the second place that the profits "i' farmiug should be SO small.?What makes your \ eopje so crazy to buy land at $150 per acre, which will produce about 840 worth of wheat, when there are thousands of acres of cotton land to be bad at SlO per acre, which with a little manure, will yield from $7"> to Sl?i<? worth ol cotton p?rncre?"?Ameri can Agriculturist. Tut: Iim.k Man.?Tho idlo man is an annoyance?a nuisance. lie is an in truder in the busy thorough-faro of every day life. Ho stands iu our path ami we must push him contemptuously aside. He is no advantage to any one. lie annoys busy men. Ho makes them unhappy. He is a cipher iu society. He :nay have an income to support him iu idleness, or he may spongo on his nl natured Irionds. Dut in every case, he is despised. Voting men, form habits of industry ; do SOIUOthing in this busy, wide awake world. Move about for the benefit of mankind, if not lor yourself. Do not be idle, tlod's law is that by the sweat of our brow \v<< shall earn our biead. This is a good one, and the bread is sweet. Do not be idle. Minutes are too pro cious to bo squandered thoughtlessly. A habit in a child is at first like a spider's web: if neglected, it becomes a (bread of twine; next, a cord or rope ; finally, a cable; and then who can break it? Mr. P. W. Bruggoman, Agent of Im migration, now in New York, writes us (snya the Newbcrry Herald) that tho prospect for securing a good class of German farm laborers is more favorable than heretofore, and that ho ca.. I'll very many more orders In the most sutis.tictoy way. Iu tho absence of Mr. Brugge tum, 11. L. MeCaughriu, Esq., will rccoi-o ami forward orders, We clip the following paragraph from tho Telegraph and Messenger's Texas correspondence. Texas must be a "beefy" country : It seems to be doubted that beef h offered here at two cents a pound. In the markets of the towns und cities, it *k uot. In the couutry, it can be bought for a good deal less than two eeuts a pound. A heel" wcighiug from fivo to six hundred pounds can be bought for leu dollars. The hide, horns and hoofs arc worth St. The purchaser does the butchering, for which bo is amply paid by the tallow and tripe. Any one can see that beef costs the purchaser only a slight shade over one cent a pound any way you can fix it, instead of two. What 1 have said is true. I would be glad to get a Contract to deliver a thousand beeves on the west side of the Urazos at 810 a bead, nveraging over 500 pounds net. I will give ?50 to any man to ob tain it for me. South Carolina Monument Asso ciation?APPEAL.? Women of South Carolina, there needs no urgent appeal to your sympathies in a cause so sacred as that which we now undertake. The great tide of adversity which has swept over our unhappy land, has hitherto stifled effort in this direction ; but not, therefore, have cur hearts ceased to beat for the glorious dead. Scarcely is there one among us whose thoughts does not, on the first mention of our object turn ut once, with loving affection, to sonic grave which this monument is intended to honor. Mothers, widows, sisters, daughters, whose hearts thus cling to the soldier's grave, let us thcu unite with an earnest,, loving effort in this holy duty. Let even our lisping little ones be brought to give their mite to its accomplishment; that thus impressed upou their minds, they may never forget to love and honor the memory of those) wWb battled arnVfe^?frh* our cause Ii a lost cause, even there fore the more holy. Even therefore does it become the more incumbent upon us, to bring to this great sacrifice of pure purposes ami heroic deed, that homage and veneration which the world pays only to success. With the wish that all who have shared iu a common sorrow, may share also in the privilege of raising this testi monial to our lost heroes, the annual sub scription for membership is put ut the lowest point practicable; that thus it may be within the reach of those, who, having litttlo to give, have still the right, through tears and Buffering, to join us in fulfilment of this most sacred duty. To all others?men as well as women, old and young?to all who cherish the oamo of Carolinian, and cling with a fond love to whatever is left to us of our ??good old State," we would say, give to us freely according to your means; give generously ; give gratefully to the mem ory of those who gave their lives for us ?tmat-.-- nn? ? A Valuable Hint.?The following bit of information, furnished by an exchange, is well worthy the considera tion of every reader: "It has been long known to intelligent persons that foul water is oue of the agents for the diffusion of disease; but even these will be astonished to be assured, as Sir William Jenner positively assured tho last meeting of the British Medical Association, at Leeds, that two of the most fearful diseases, cholera and typhoid fever, arc mainly it' not ontircly propagated by tho drinking of con . iminutod water. No individual can take oo much care to keep their drink ing water free from impurity, and it is of the highest importance that large communities should be supplied with water uncontaminated by any refuse or sewerage. At any rale, where this is not done, there ought to be an end of the impertinence of ascribing diseases t? the "mysterious dispensation of Pro vidence." Small BEOlNNlffoe.?Lord Eldon, one of the most eelebrntcd of Englands Chancellors, communccd the practice of law in February, 1776, and during the first your of his pructico, took iu 11 shillings, about S3 75. In 1786 his income from his profession amounted to 134,165, and in 1796 to $60,700. Lord Erskinc did not have a client until eight months alter ho was called to the bar, and yet in four years he bad obtained a silk grown, n seat in Parlia ment,!, practice of 820)000, a ye n-, paid his debts and accumulated $50,000. _- - ; l Fit. Ii ions for January. The great change that has taken place in the styles since last winter is more than ever apparent, now that wo see the costumes en magno upon the street or in the drawing-room. It is four years now Btnce tho change from the hoops, which had becomosome- p what more moderate, took place, to tin* perfectly plaiu gored, or, as it was called, Pr incase skirt. We well remember the excitement the first two or three created in tho salons, and the contrast with tha bell-shaped garments generally worn. The Prince*** dress was, however, found too restricted, and little round aprons, called "Freemasons," were in troduced, which were the beginning of the prescut upper skirt, with its round tablier and not ungraceful panier. The change from a short apron and a straight-cut gored skirt to a short upper skirt, aud a petticoat with some fullness in, docs not seem so very great, bet it is very apparent when the skirts and putt iers and sashes, and all the frills and furbelows thereunto belouging, are multi plied by the number of ladies who wear them. The high, rich colors, too, havo much to do with tho warmth of effect pro duced by this season's style of dress. I Bright blues, browns, and Scotch plaids, with a good deal of sea riet in it, are relieved a little by a mixture of black or ? gray, but the prevailing tone is high, full, and strikiug. Garnet and dark green cloths and costumes are also iu vogue, and produce, a fine effect, trimmed with velvet and fringe of the same shade. The suit gcncrully consists of a round skirt, trim med with two fiat plaited flounces.'each * headed with two rows of velvet, on up per skirt forming an apron and side j/an iers, and a mantle fitted to the waist, at^ tho back. Mantle and upper skirt'are trimmed with velvet fringe, and there is ' a double square b~w with wide endo nfcj'*/* tached to where the mantle is fastened at tho back. * The bodices for rather dressy toilets are generally made open iu front, cither' in a square, shape or a chale, with richrsi The chemisettes worn with such bodices arc cut of the samo shnpe; their aw trimmed with a wide Btrip of insertion, edged round the bottom with a J~ p border of Valenciennes lace, and round the top with a very narrow border of the same. This arrangement leaving tha throat partly bare, a necklace or a largo cross or locket is worn round the neck. Street toilets are very costly. It is not uncommon to see black Lyons velvet suits worn with rich tunics of bright blue or deal black satin, the sash of satin with heavily friuged ends. Fur is very fashionably used for trim ming cloth and velvet.' The now French cicular is the newest form of wrap. They are very stylish. They form 'a sort of duuclc circular?or, rather, a closo cut rotonde, not very loug, with a capo only a quarter of a yard less in depth. Tho material is always Scotch plaid, the ??Victoria" or '-scarlet," and tho cape, or second circular, is trimmed with a hand some woolen fringe, containing the ool ors. There is uo hood, but tho heavy Scotch cord and tassels are thrown back. Narrow black or white Astrachan col lar aud fringed muff look well with thesd gay little cloaks. The ?'Roman" cloak has no sleeves: sleeves can bo inserted, but only at, the sacrifice of its distinctive character. It is drawn in at the back, but falls loosely from the shoulders, and is altogether ono of the most graceful garments ever im ported. The finest model is made tu black velvet, richly trimmed with lace. Buruooscs and short doublo capes of black cashmere and cloth are ornamen ted with rows of very wido blaok silk braid, imitating stripes of closo crochet, and edged on oithcir aido with a narrow gold band j tho uppor oapo is slit open in the middle of tho back up to the neck: it falls over tho arms, which are passed through openings in the under capo. This is a very now model. [/>? moretVt Monthly for January. Said tho lovely Julia to tLo bewitch ing runny : "Ma belle, why is a now-born baby like a cow's tail?" "I don't know.
