BY TELEGRAPH. THE STATE CAPITAL REPUBLICAN CLAIMANTS RETIRE! The Democratic State Officers in Unobstrnct* ed Discbarge of their Duties. THE STATE TAX. No Nominations for Chief Justiceship. ? Judge Wright to he Investigated. [Special Dispatch to the Yorkvlllc Enquirer.] Columbia, S. C., May 2,1877. The Republican claimants, yesterday, consented to an order in the case in the Supreme Court, which finally disposes of the contest for State House officers, and the Democrats are now in possession, and unobstructed in the discbarge of their respective duties. This result is intended by the Radicals to defeat Willard, by relieving Democrats of the necessity of supporting him as a matter of policy. The progress of legislation is retarded by unavoidable circumstances. The Senate is about to investigate charges of comolaint against some of its members. ^ The House, yesterday, refused to seat Thomas, of Newberry, and Straker, of Orangeburg, and rejected Andrews, of Sumter, who refused to comply with the terms of admission. A bill hits been introduced, and will pass g both Houses, to reduce the salaries of officers. The State tax will probably not exceed five mills, embracing the Hampton tax. Providiug for the interest on the public debt will likely be postponed this year. No nominations have as yet been made for Chief Justice, and no time has been fixed for the election. The Democrats are united, and will elect a committee of the House to investigate charges against Associate Justice Wright. The committee will consist of three Democrats and two colored Republicans. I. D. W. THE SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE. Columbia, April 25. The Senate assembled at 12 M., and was called to order by President Simpson. A committee of three, consisting of Whittemore, Jeter and Crittenden, was appointed to wait upon Gov. Hampton, to iuform him that the Senate has met in pursuance of his proclamation, that a quorum is present, and that the Senate is ready to receive any communication he may be pleased to make. After a short interval, the committee returned and reported that the Governor expected to communicate with the Senate, in writing, at 1 o'clock, p. m., the next day. Mr. Cochran asked aud obtained the unanimous cousent of the Senate to introduce, without previous notice: Bill to further reduce the number and regulate the pay of officers, attaches, clerks and laborers of the General Assembly, and to provide the manner of electing, appointing and paying the same; bill to provide for the registration of the electors, in conformity with article 8, section 3, of the State constitution; bill to fix and reduce the salaries of certain officers. After filling, by election, vacancies in sundry committees, the Senate adjourned at 1.10 p. m. In the House, Mr. Sheppard introduced the following preamble and resolutions, which were considered immediately: Whereas this House did, on the 28th day of Noveinber, A. D. 187G, meet and was duly organized according to law, a constitutional quorum of the members thereof being present and voting; And whereas certain persons claiming to be duly elected as members of this body have neglected and refused to appear and qualify as members as provided and required by law, but, on the contrary, organized another body, and styled themselves the House of Representatives ofSouth Carolina, which said body was wholly without legal or constitutional validity ; And whereas such conduct on the part of said * persons was in high contempt and derogation of the authority and dignity of this House, and a probable abandonment of their alleged rights as members of this body; And whereas certain persons, viz., John Gibson and Daniel Bird, as Representatives from the county of Fairfield, did appear and qualify as members of this body, and did, subsequently thereto, without justification and excuse, and in violation of law and their plaiu duty in the premises, renounce openly and publicly all connection with this House; therefore be it Resolved, That the claims of all persons alleged to have been elected as members of this body who have neglected and refused to appear and qualify as members, and joined themselves to another body calling themselves the House of Representatives of South Carolina, as well as the claims of those who, hav^ig appeared ana quaimeu, r?/ nounced their connection with this House, be referred without debate to a joint committee consisting of the Committee 011 Privileges and Elections and the Committee on the Judiciary, which committee shall have the power, and is hereby required, to oonsider said claims and the rights, if any, of the persons alleged to have been elected as aforesaid, and all matters connected with the alleged election of said persons, and report to this House by resolution or otherwise. Resolved further, That the joint committee shall have power to send for persons and papers. Hamilton submitted the following amendment : Resolved, That the clerk proceed with the call of the House, and that those members who have not yet taken the oath be sworn in. The Speaker decided that, at this point, the amendment was out of order. Mr. Shepherd then took the floor and spoke in favor of the resolutions. Hamilton, Republican, of Beaufort, and Bridges, Republican, of Newberry?both colored?opposed the adoption of the resolutions. The resolutions were finally adopted and referred to the joint committees of Privileges and Election, and the Judiciary. The correspondent of the News and Courier says: ? *' " 11 " -1?L ~ f rlnfnnnf "During rue ueuate lilt: uieuiumo ui vuo uwuuv. Mackey House sat quietly and silently by like a pack of school boys in disgrace awaiting the sentence that should be passed upon them for their rebellious conduct. The course pursued by the Democrats was almost unanimously advocated by the members of the House; but there are not a "few of the Senate and outsiders who think othwise. "The joint committee on the judiciary, of which Aldrich is chairman, and privileges and elections, of which Orr is chairman, met this afternoon at 4 P. M., and began the work of passing sentence upon the several Mackey House delegations, and will probably report to-morrow. It is stated that the utmost impartiality will bo exercised, and, if any delegations are excluded, it ^ will be because there are good and legal reasons for their exclusion. The delegations most likely to be excluded are Newberry, Darlington, Kershaw and Charleston." Notices were given of the introduction of a number of bills in the future, after which the House adjourned until 12 m., on Thurs^ day. I* Thursday, April 26. In the Senate, a communication was read / from Dublin I. Walker, Senator from Chester, tendering his resignation to take effect immediately.

Message No. 1, from his Excellency, Governor Hampton, was announced and read to ^ the Senate. The full text of the message may be found in another part of to day's Enquirer.

In the Senate, Mr. Cochran, from th Committee on Retrenchments, to whom wen referred the followiug bills, reported back th' same with the recommendation that they d< pass: Bill to abolish the office of jury com missioner and devolve the duties thereof upoi the sheriff of each county; bill to reduc pay of commissioners and managers of elec tions and of their clerks; bill to further re duce the number and regulate the pay of offi cers, attaches, clerks and laborers of the Gen eral Assembly, and to provide the manner o electing, appointing and paying the same bill to reduce the pay of county commission ers and their clerks with amendments.

In the House, after a large amount o routine business had been disposed of, the re port^)f the committee relative to the conteste< election case of J. J. Hemphill vs. Johu Lee came up for consideration. Mr. Orr, Chairman of the committee 01 privileges and elections, moved that the re Dort be adopted, and stated that the action o | the committee in recommending the unseating of Lee aud the seating of Hemphill bad beei unanimous. He desired, he said, to presen the facts which had governed the committee and hoped that the matter would be thorough ly discussed by the members of the House 01 both sides.* They claimed : 1st, he said, tha Lee, who received the certificate and had th prima facie evidence of election, was postmas ter of Chester, and had notoriously held tha position before and subsequent to the election and, under the constitution of the Unite* States and of the State, was disqualified fron holding the position of representative. 2nd That the county of Chester was entitled t three representatives. Lee, according to th returns, received the third highest number o votes cast; but these votes, under the circuit) stances, they held, was as of no more effect o value than simple pieces of blank paper, ii consequence of his holding a disqualifying of fice at the time. Mr. Orr then read affidavit from T. M. Graham, Lee's successor as pwf master; J. L. Harris, D. Hemphill, J. C Hardin and Dr. Davega, showing, beyond doubt, that Lee had held the position of posf master before the election, that it was a mat ter of common uotoriety, and that he did no turn over the office until the 8th of Januarj In additiou to these affidavits, Mr. Orr sub initted also a communication from Lee to hi successor, which was in the nature of a powe of attorney to certain parties in Chester, t turu over the papers, records, &c., of the ol fice, which communication, signed by Le himself, showed him to be still postmaster ii January, 1877. The 29th Section, Article of the Constitution, provides that no perso shall be eligible to a seat in the General As serably whilst he holds any office of profit o trust under the State or United States. Le had received 2,413 votes out of 4,421 cast, an Hemphill, who came next, received 2,00 votes, and Hemphill claimed his seat on th grouud that as Lee was not entitled to run, h (Hemphill) having received the highest nunc ? " - ,1 Der or voles was euuueu tu ue ocaicu. After, debate, participated in by Messrs Orr, Blue and Aldrich, democrats, and Cui tis, Wells, Miller and Minort, republicani on the first resolution, to unseat Lee, the vot stood: yeas 71, nays 18. Caldwell, Col< man, Green, Hamilton, Myers, Reedish an Westberry (Republicans) voted aye. On th second resolution, to seat Hemphill, the vot . stood : 70 yeas to 19 nays.

It is for the benefit of those who sow it, after careful preparation, to know the real value of a good and long needed thing in the way of long forage. We also have ' some Hungarian Grass Seed, which is a good thing. We say it again, buy the Millet Seed, and see for yourselves what it does. It beats pulling fodder in August, when the sun is hot. Buy it; try it. You can get the seed from us. A word to the wise is sufficient, in regard to one of the most important things to the farmer? Millat Grass. We have a pair of mules that did ' not eat anything for four months but Millet and i Hungarian Grass Hay. Some men doubted what " was said. But this is true. No one but those who have made the Millet Hay know the value of it. We do not speak of it as coming from some one else; we know from actual experience. We have the seed fresh, and the time is near when it should be sown. We ask you, for your own benefit, to : sow it, and reap one of the greatest harvests you ever saw come from the land. W. H. <fe J.
