Al: the members, or persons desiring to join, are requested to attend promptly. CAROLINA COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE. Wc would call attention to the adver tisement of tho Carolina Collegiate In stitlttc. Parents having sons or daugh ters to educate would do well to plnct them under the care of Prof. Ligon, who is so well and favorably known as a scholar and gentleman of fine attainmcnb in our community. He will have ex perienced and competent assistant? during the coming year. THE BAYONET HOUSE. The Mackey House completed its ar duous labors on Friday, mid adjourned tine die. Before taking this action, Thomas introduced a preamble and reso lution reciting that the members elected to thc Legislature, who have not qualified before Mackey, were guilty of high con tempt, and authorising Mackey to declare their seat? vacant und issue writs of elec tion. We are anxious to know who will become candidates under this proceeding j in Anderson County. THE CONSTITUTIONAL HOUSE. The last day's proceedings of the Con stitutional House were nniinportr nt. Thc members decided in caucus not to receive more than ono hundred dollars each for their services, in view of the sur rounding circumstances, and the great need of tho publie institutions. The members were faith ful to their trust, and worked in accord with Gov. Hampton and the State Executive Committee. A ? sereu o'clock on Friday night, the House adjourned sins die. SOUTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE. Tho ninety-first session of the South Carolina Conference, M. E. Church, South, was held at Chester, December 13-18, 1876, Bishop H. H. Kavanaugh presiding. Rev. Wm. C. Power was re elected Secretary. The reporta from the various chargea in thc S tr. tc showed grat ifying increase of memberahi >, but the financial reports were not so favorable, owing to the depression in financial cir cles. Tho several addresses on the sub jects of Sunday 8chool missions, ?Sec., were highly creditable to thc distin guished speakers. Bishop Kavanaugh'* address on the subject of Missions wus an able effort, (sustaining the r?putation of thc distinguished speaker. The following ministers were admitted on trial into the travel connection : Revs. H. Bascom Browne, Erwin G. Price, L. G. Walker, A. LcGette, R. H. Jones, T. E. Gilbert, A. B. Lee, W. P. Meadora, J.

GOVERNOR H AM Pi ON. Thc filial adjournment of the Legisla ture brings the question directly before the people cs to whom they will sustain as the lawful Governor of South Caro lina. Gen. Wade Hampton was duly elected, and has been inaugurated under the forms prescribed by the law. The oflico lias been usurped by Daniel H. Chamberlain, who pretends to exercise the poweia and prerogatives of the Chief Magistrate, aud who retains possession of the executive chamber. He is seeking to enforce au unlawful and exorbitant tax levy, imputed by au illegal and un constitutional body known as the Mackey House, and will doubtless appoint his officers in every Comity to collect the taxes. H h appointments have not been mad? known ut this writing, and wc are unable to state who is williug to incr.r the odium of attempting to collect taxes in Anderson County for the support and maintenance of thc Chamberlain dy nasty. Thc total levy for State and County purposes is said to be 17A mills, which is iufinitoly greater in amouut than auy previous tax. The reckless and shameless extravagance of the past does not cqua' the present demand. On the other baud, the Constitutional House has requested the tax-payers to contribute for the support of the legal government under Gen. Hampton un amount equal to one-fourth of last year's taxes, and appointments will bc made in overy county ot persons to receive this contribution. This futid will be dis bursed under thc immediate supervision of Gov. Hampton, and will bo used for thc maintenance of tho penal and chari table institutions of the State, thc pay ment of salaries, asd the legitimate ex penses of thc government. Thc tax payers will receive a certificate, which will bc accepted hereafter in part pay ment of the taxes for the current year, when the General Assembly is lawfully organized and levies a constitutional tax. The issue is thus squarely presented be fore the tax-payers, and we are confident that the response in Anderson County will bc in unison and harmony with the balance of the State. Not one dollar can be paid with safety to the officers ap pointed by Chamberlain, and the iniqui tous demand will be totally disregarded by tho people of Anderson. The neces sity for sustaining Gov. Hampton in his position, and the moderate contribution (in consonance with tho needs cf the tax j payers) which has beeu requested by the Constitutional House, render it feasible ana practicable for this measure to bo put in speedy operation, and its prompt endorsement by the people will tend to weaken the pressions of Chamberlain and strengthen the hands of Gov. Hamp ton in ?vary respect. We must cut off the supplies from thc usurper and turn them in the direction of thc iawfui Gov ernor, whose reliance is mainly upon tho adhesion of the people electing him, coupled with the right and justice of his position. Every citizen who desires peace, order and the supremacy of law will promptlygdcclare allegiance to Gov. Hampton, and respond to th^ !?miie>? de mand for the sustenance of legitimate government. SENATE PROCEEDINGS. The closing proceedings of the Senate on Friday last were interesting and im portant. Thc concurrent resolution from the Mackey House requesting Chamber lain to arm, equip and station in Aiken County one hundred State constables was rejected. . Mr. Meetsc, on behalf of thc special committee to caucel thc bills of the Bank of the State, reported that these bills now in the State Tresury are so cut and muti lated they can never be used ugain, and that thc amount of said bills received for taxes aggregates thc sum of *63,222.36. Messrs. Jeter and Witherspoon, a mi nority of thc Committee on Privileges and Elections, entered a protest on the journal in the matter of Hon. M. W. Gan.', Senator elect from Edgefield Coun ty, declaring the action of the committee as illegal and unjust, and against parlia mentary usage. The committee had re fused to scat Gen. Gary upon tho prima facie evidence that he was elected. Thc Democratic Senators united in several protests. One protest was against thc exercise of tho office of President of the Senate by Richard H. Gleavea, whose term of office ns Lieutenant Governor has expired. Another was against tho pas sage of a bill to make appropriations for thc payment of thc salary and mileage of the members of the General Assembly, and the salaries of the subordinate offi cers and employees, from which ws make the following extract: Tho law-making power of tho State is, by virtue of the Constitution, vested in the General Assembly, to be composed of the Senate and a Hous3 of Representa tives organized according to its provisions. The two houses together composo the General Assembly. The Supreme Court of thia State-tho court of last resort i ima decided i ii ai thu buoy ?va nuiOii iuo Hon. W. H. Wallace presides as Speaker is the constitutional House of Represen tatives, and consequently it must be a portion of the General Assembly. Sec tion ?1. article 2, of thc constitution says : "No bin shall have tho force bf law until it shall have been read three times, und on three several days, in each house, hos iiad the great seal of the State affixed to | it, and has been signed in the Senate House by the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Repre sentatives." Section 22, article 2, of the constitution further says : "No money shall be drawn from tho Treasury but in pursuance of an appropriation mude by law." We submit that no body of men presi ded over bv a private citizen, and With loss than a constitutional quorum, can lorin any part ut thc General Assembly; consequently wo protest against tbe ac tion of thc Senate in the pretended pas sage of thc bill referred to, and we give it us our opinion that it can never nave the force of law. Mr. Crittenden presented his view-to j ?-0 er'ered on the journal, as n merni cf j of ihe Judiciary Committee, to wiu-ra wo? referred a communication from lion. \V. D. Simpson, claiming and demand ing, us the duly elected Lieutenant Gov ernor of tho State, his right, when pr?s ent, to preside over the Senate, and an nouncing his preseuco and readiness to enter upon the discharge of that duty. Wbittemore introduced thc following resolution : Resolved by the Senate, That u com mittee of ?ix, to consist of threu from the Republican and three from the Dem ocratic party, be appointed by the Presi dent of the Senate for the purpose of in vestigating the whole matter relative to thc legal and constitutional organization of the two houses, known as the "Wal lace" and "Mackey" Houses, tho said committee to commence the investigation within ten days. The President desired that nominations for membera of enid committee be made by the Senate. Messrs. Whittemore, Swails, Taft, Je ter, Mcctzc and Witherspoon were nomi nated. ? Thc Senate adjourned die. THE HOUSE RESOLUTIONS. Thc following preamble and resolu tions were adopted by thc Constitutional House of Representatives on Wednesday, 20th inst. Mr. J. C. Sheppard, from the Committee of Ways and Means, pre sented thc report, which had been thor oughly considered before introduced. Mr. Sheppard unid that thc be*t legal latent had been consulted, and thc pas sage of thc resolutions was essential to thc maintenance of government : Whereas the organization of the State government ia obstructed and hindered bv a refusal of a ma! irity of members elected to the Senat? to recognize the Hou. W. D. Simpson, Lieutenant Gov ernor of South Carolina, as their Presi dent, and this House of Representatives -rccoguized by the Supreme Court aa the constitutional body-as thc co-ordi nate branch of the General Assembly, and thereby the passage of the ordinary and necessary legislative enactments is rendered for the present impracticable ; and whereas it is essential to thc peace and dignity of the State and the welfare of the people that thc machinery of thc government should not be suspended by such extraordinary, unprecedented and revolutionary conduct of a small portion of one branch of the government; and whereas it is necessary that ways and means should bc devised and provided for thc support and maintenance of thc exec utive, legislative and judicial departments of thc government, together with euch subsidiary or subordinate offices ns are or may bc incident to or inseparably con nected with tho discharge ol the ordinary or necessary functions of them, or either of them, and more especially fer the sus tenance cf tho charitable, penal and edu cational institutions of thc State of South Carolina and of the respective counties therein ; therefore, be it Resolved, by the House of Representa tives of the State of South Carolina now met: 1st. That his Excellency Wade Hamp ton, Governor of this State, be, and he is hereby, authorized und required forth with to issue his proclamation calling upon all fuitbful, law-abiding and loyal citizens to come forward, and without de' ty and at such date, and within such tim-.* as to the Governor may seem proper, pa? to such person or persons as the Governor shall designate and appoint in each county the sum of twenty-five per cent, or one-fourth ofthc8tate and coun ty tax, exclusive of any special or extra tax, in the respective counties paid by all such persons in and for the last fiscal year. 2d. That for thc sum or sums of money that amy be paid by each person under the provisions hereof, proper receipts or vouchers shall be made, executed and delivered by the person or persons duly authorized to receive the same, which receipts or voucher- ahull be received ai payments of that much of thc regular tax when collected or to bc collected un der thc proper tax act. 3d. Thf.i the Governor delegate the duty of collection to the respective Coun ty Treasurers, or to such other person or Cersons os he may deem it wise or ad v?sa le to appoint; and that for such services uaul person ur persons nn?ii receive Com missions upon all sums collected in their respective counties, as follows : Five per .U ..

That it ?hall be and is made thc duty ol' thc Governor, and he is hereby required, to exact from each and every one of thc persons to be designated or ap pointed to collect and receive said sums of money, a bond according to thc form and with the conditions and under the penalties now prescribed by law, and ro ?uired io bc giveu by the several County Verein re r ? in thc said State, to be ap ! proved by the Governor. 0th. That a discount or reduction is hereby offered und authorized of five per cent, on all sums paid in on or by thc 1st day of February next ensuing; ot' three per cent, on all sums paid in on or by thc 15th day of February next on suing ; of two per cent, on all sums paid in on or by thc 1st day of Juue next en suing, unlets tho ordinary annual appro priation and supply bills shall in thc meantime be regularly passed and en forced. 0th.

That in older to a correct under standing of our objects and purposes by all the people, it is proper that we should, and we hereby do, reiterate in good faith our pledge to redeem at tho earliest prac ticable moment the credit of the State, by tho payment of the matured interest un mo vitim, ivj^iu ami icvtij^ii-.-cti uuimi:u indebtcdiirs? of the State us now provided for by law ; but it is submitted that until the sc v. ral departments of ihe govern ment ?hall have resumed the discharge of their respective ordinary constitutional unctions, it will bo in vain to attempt t ie ace ..upiisbment of such a laudab.e , purpose.

FKOTKST OF SENATOR COCHRAN. Wc give below the protest pf Senator John II. Cochran, of this County, which . was entered upon thc journal of thc 8en- | ate just before adjournment, against the passage of hills by that body levying and appropriating un exorbitant and uncon stitutional tax. Tho points of objection to any auch legislation arc well made and perfectly conclusive, and tho consc- ', quences of persisting in tho attempt to j collect such tax aro faithfully pointed : out os disastrous to the public peace and j u fatal step iu the direction of anarchy ! and ruin : As Senator from thc county of Antler sou, in the conscientious dischargo of my duty, and to protect and preserve tho coukitution and laws of this Statu, cud tha right of representation of thc citizens from violation nnd infringement, respect fully submit thc following protest us my j reason for voting against tho passage of tho billi levying a tux and appropriating thc same, nnd in conformity with section 26 of article 2 of the constitution, ask that the same be spread upon the journal of the Senate : 1. Because on thc day fixed by tho ! constitution of the S'stc for the General : Assembly to meet and organize, in tho ' city of Columbia, for a regular session, an : armed force hud surreptitiously taken ' Eossession in thc night time ol' thc State louse, mid armed sentinels were placed ut the various doora of entrance, and per- . sons, without authority of law, prevented duly elected members of tho House of j Representatives from two counties in the State from entering the State House and tho hall of tho House of Representatives, and thus intentionally und in fact de bt..'cd many members from exercising their lawful privilege of participating iu thc election of officers and in the organi zation of said House. This delay and hindrance of the said members and thc time occupied in examining members' certificates prevcuted, as I am credibly informed, other members from eotcriug thc House in time to prevent aa illegal, unconstitutional nnd partisan organiza tion of that body, contrary to the Hpirit and letter of the constitution and laws of the land. 2. Because article 2 of the constitution expressly provides that the House of Representatives shall consist of 124 mem bers, to be apportioned among the several counties, according to thc number of in habitants in each ; and by section 14, of same article, "a majority of each hou-e shall constitute a quorum todobusiiiess," and when the members claiming to bc the House of Representatives met and organized, said House did tint have a ma jority ol 124 members, only 59 members answering to their names, ns shown by I the journal of proceedings on that day. j Nevertheless the said members arbitran ' ly proceedad to organize, without regard to the constitution, and a majority of them have eiuce proceeded to puss the several bills hereby protested uguiust without a legal quorum. o I)_ tu. _t_ v. uaauoCf LUG ouiu utcuiuuis, plann ing to bc a lawful House ol Representa tives, in order to obtain the requisite, sixty-three members to form a legal and constitutional quorum, have (in my opin ion) udmilted persons who were not elec ted by the people, or qualified to serve as tnecibers, from several counties where ,lie duly elected members failed, for thc /casona before related, to quulify; this Oeing done in direct violation and con trary to section 21) of article 2 of the con stitution. 4. Because thu body passing the bills protested against, and claiming to bc the House of Representatives, have been vir tually declared by the Supremo Court ol' thc State to bc an illegal and unconstitu tional House of Representatives. 5. Because the exclusion of members of thc Legislature from Laurens and Edgelield Counties by an armed force was, in my opinion, in direct violation of section 34 of article 1 of the declaration of rights of the State constitution. 6. Because tho presence of an armed force from day to day, without the ex pressed consent of the General Assembly, unbarring the duly elected representatives of tho people and citizens from ingress to the halls of legislation, is in violation of section 28 article 1 of the declaration of rights o! the State constitution. 7. Because, by section 27 of article 2 of the State constitution, "thc doors of each house shall be open, except on such occasions as in thc opinion of the House may require secrecy," when tho tuet is, that lrom day to day, a body of State constabulary guarded each door, um! re fused admittance to thc citizens of tho State and the representatives of thc peo ple. 8. Because the House ol' Representa tives, in my opinion, is an illegal and unconstitutional body ; therefore it fol lows that thc bills Herein especially pro tested fciiie not originated or been read three times in the House of Representa tives, us required by section.! 18 and 21 | of article 2 vit ?he constitution. 9. Because tho bills protested against will be presented for approval to a person who hus been declared elected Governor of this Suite by au illegal Home ol'Rep resentatives, and hid election determined by the General Assembly in palpable and open disregard of section 4 article 3 of the constitution. 10. Because thc fundamental principle of popular government, ip spirit as well us in lutter,, foci quizes tho fact that there shall bc no taxation without representa tion. It ia, in mis case, violated by tho absence from the lower House ot lue representation ol the people of more than one-half of the counties of the State, atid the exclusion trom the Senate of the rep '"???'.H1.!'."! !rc!:i three cc-uutiss. 11. Because, even il thc House of Rep resentatives was a legal and eoiislituttou.il body, thc taxes proposed ure er -imitant, unjust und unreasonable, and the appro priations made are, iu many cased, ex travagant, uncalled for, aud snould not bc levied and thus appropriated, in tho present depressed condition of tuc State. For llicse reasons, 1 enter my solemn protest against tue passage of these bills, and um au tho more constrained to wita lund my sanction from tUBiit, because 1 believe that, Oeing Without mund.niuo ot law, they must tail ol' the purpose tor which tucy arc designed, and so leavo the maintenance of our educational, charitable and penal institution-? wu'oliy unprovided lor; the government ol' mo Slate tVltuout the ways and means of- its .sustenance; thu courts of justice cio.s.o, and U?Mre?u and thereby iitvtte u ??;;.??. tion of anarchy and ruin winch tho peo ple will ho powerless, in tue absence of constituted authority, to uve t.
