Tho election for Chief Justice, to fill tho placo declined by Jndge Mcivor, came off on last Thursday nigh t Instead of Tuesday, as we expected when we last wrote, but the result therein predicted waa correct. The Joint assembly was rolled to order at 8 o'clock p. m., and Senator Wylie, of Lancaster, Dominated Gov. W. D. Simpson, in an extended eulogy, which , waa seconded by Col. Siniouton, of Charleston. There waa no other nomination, and Gov. Simpson was unanimously elected. It is just to Judgo Mciver that we should say tho criticisms upon his course do him injustice, for ho was no doubt actuated by very puro and patriotlo motives, really making a great sacrifico by declining tho highest Judi cial office in the State fer tho purpose of preventing trouble as to his successor's election, upon tho grounds stated hy us last week. For some years there has been a desire o'i tho part of the business men of the State to have tho South Carolina Railroad carried to the water in Charleston in order that tho expenses bf through freights to aud from New'York and. Eu - ropo may bo reduced. This has not been accomplished,' ho wovor, but tho Bill .to dig ? . ? snip CA KAT. from Cooper to "Ashley River, at a point near Charleston, hes passed both Houses of tho Legislature, and will carry the water to the railroad. By tbta Bill the Hiato will pay fifteen thousand dollars for tho digging of tho canal, but will as o condition precedent to it receive aeon tract for granito from tho penitentiary - quarries, to be used in tho Charleston jetties, which will pay tho sum baok sev ers! iitucs over. Gen. R. R. H#ioblll opposed this mensuro, on thoground ?hat lt was not Democratic, and that tho State had no right to cngago in tho construc tion of public -improvement*. Gou. Rut ledge rep) lod that Mr. Calhoun's theory was that the funeral government did not havo this right, because it was not sov ereign, f?r-sovcrolgnty. resided.in tho Ktatcs. He contended that this was an advantageous, mensuro, nnd ought to be adopted. Mr. Murray followed, arguing tbnt it waa not wasting monoy, but mak ing o Judicious investment, for. by ox ponding fifteen thousand dollars tho S tato , was to have a contract for somo two hun dred thousand dollars Worth, of granite, tho profits on which would moro than ro pey tho expenso by tho Stato. Ho also ?bowed that by bringing tho wharf to tho rall rond it would do away with tho dnvy ngo of fifteen'' cants pot btdo on cotton shipped to New York, which now hos to bo hauled through tho streets of Charles ton from tho railroad to the steamora. Ho favored tho Bill. It .was passed by a voto of 03 to loin tho IIouso, aud received no opposition in tho Senate. Ono of tho worst measures that has been before this Legislature was a Bill to establish A STATS AamoULTUHAL COLLIIOB, ; which ls believed to bo meroly a ?xjso, for ro-oponing tho South Carolina College, but whether this bo so or not. it requires tho State to ro-isaue 8101,000 worth of Stato stock, bearing six per ceut interest, to .this College in placo of the amount which tho Redisais stole, and also asked for .812,000, patt of interest the Radicals did not pay, and for tho balance, $46,000, j in bonds. Tho Bill was fought moat por biston tl y, and tho voto at fir?t w?* against lt, tut tho friends of the measure wore rushod in, and, nvdor tho oporailon of tho previous question, the Bill was paused, with tho positive premise nud assurance from its friends that tho last two clauses should he stricken out In the Senats,-or that the Governor would veto it. 1 Wo be lieve the result will bo to ro-opon the South Carolina University,, and moko positions for sorne broken down teachers who have strof **?onces and ccnuoo tlcmh iu tho Stuui. tee nome, kciwevor, of on Agricultural ? Collogo . caught '.tho fancy of a-nu.nibo? of formers and eaenred J their votes for this Bill,, which would not hn^o boen given for It othorwisn. There was only a majority of nine in favo- of its passago to a third reading In .tho. ITouso. It hes not yet passed tho Senate, but we fear it will pasn that hody also, tor *hcr-i poora* io bo a disposition to poss alt; suck , Measures in both Houses. Thoro was a lively discussion over tho J qucstioA of taxing TUB rkoSPKATE COHPANnSH. ltwlli bo remembered'that.for tho !*s? ton'or twelve years these companies havo only liocn paying taxes 'on their bond,, j valued at from five to twenty dollar?

Tho friends of the companies admit that thor? are several hu?dTHL thousand dollars due on thcao beck taxes, but claim they can ?iot bo m Jule to pay them by law-. ,Mr. Buist, tho chairman of tho Ways' and Keaiia Commltuo, moved, to amend tho tax bili sp aa lb m'akb them pay t?xpH on half ofthou gross proceeds la' futuro.

Tho com panies ?rat tried to. get exemption from their back tixea, and, wbon this was nut granted, thoo their object was to put off ! the collection until another Loglsiaturo 5-J ?jlt>oU>d, wita ibo jiu JIU Cii ul. .. ?Titojor?ty of tho now body will bo favorable to them. Thoy havo succeeded lu putting off the collection, and it romulus to ho seen whether thoy will over bo compelled to pay up or-not. A Bill to ostuhlixh n BUUBAU OK AOUICULTUnK bA4 passed both Houses, r.nd provides for the collodion of Agricultuiid infor mation and statistics as to our minorai and agricultural wealth, with a depart ment of immigration, and ulso tho in spection ofpho.-phntr.ii mid tiio collodion of rho phosphate royalty. The Bill ls a very .excellent ono, und if carried out properly will ho of vory great norvloo to tho State, It was originally intended to put a tax of Ave h inn! red dollars on ouch phosphate company to sustain this do partuiuut, but wiw amended in tho House, en motion of Mr. Beasley, so as to put an Inspection tax of t .-.mty-ilvo cents on each tau of phosphiito. Tl its will ralso a sum of about twolvo or fif teen thousand dollar?, and will, instead of increasing tho oxpeusos of tho govern ment, docroaso thom, for it aboil J?K-.H thc of&oos of Fish Commhuiouor, Phosphate Agent and Phosphate Inspector, which willaavo tho Hiato thirty-seven hundred dollars per your, and tho fooo of Inspect ing phosphate* will, insU-nd of going to ono man, as tho}' havo dono iiorctoforo, go to paying tho oxponscs of this depart ment, which will do tho work of ell throo of these offlcors. Thoro was n lively llttlo fight over abolishing tho ofilco of Pbo >.? pl- 'o Inspector, Messrs. Haskell and Jo..11 J. Hcmphlll opposing its abolition, and MesKrH. Humbert und Murray favor ing lt. ' A groat many amondmcirts woro attomptod, which would havoinjtirod the Bill if adopted, lint for tho most part tboy woro dofeatod. Tho Bill goes to tho Son at? for concurronco in tho amendment)*, and will no doubt boc JIUO a law. Tho paisago of tho Columbiu (.mal Hill by tho Senate was tho occasion of blore than a usual dcniont-trutlon in that body. This Bill, which passed tho IIouso in three hours, occuplod nearly two duyH in tho Ronato, and was finally passed with Immaterial amendments by a voto of 22 to. 7. During ? li IM debato tho Senate ?hnmbor was filled with indies mid gon tlomon of Columbia intensely interested In tho success of tho measure, which they believe ia destined to mako this city r oocohd Lowoll, mid bo lt auld to the shame of Colombia, that this oxcitoniont was aUowod to go to far ns tc induce some of.the ladion to throw bouquets to Taft, tho carpot-bag Ilopubllcnu Sonator from Charlcstou, bocauao ho spoko in fuyar.of tho Bill. Whou the Bill passed thoro was applaupojm tho Sonate, a scone which perhaps was novor witnessed thoro before under a Democratic administra tion. . Not only this, but on Salurduy night the Columbia Band serenaded Gen. Gary at tho Wheolor HOUHO, and after wards, lu tho morning of Sunday, wont to the house at which Taft was boarding and serenaded him also. Thoso thiner aro not approved by avery lurgo numt t* of tho citlzonB of Columbia, and are most strongly condemned by tho Bcmociats from other part? of tho State who oro hore. Instead of improving tho Appropria tion Bill, the Sonato has actually ruisod it by Homo thirty or forty thousand dol lars, 'Whoa it carno back to tho Houso, on motions of Mosers. Murray, Moody, Brown and Austin, the House refused to concur in the amendments, cud a con io ronco coinmittco was appointed to ad J?Bt tho differences, which has not yet reported. In tho appointment. of this committee Spoaker Shoppard violated every parliamentary precedent by ap pointing a committee who had ovory one votod, wo. believe, willi tho mluority of tho Houso. Ho did not put a single man on tire comptittoc who had fought thc high appropriation?, and thus it is vory I likely ibo Sonato amendments will be ! adopted yet, although a majority of tho J Houso ls clearly opposod to thom. Tho lost sosslon of the Legislature passod PO Act appointing a Railroad Commissioner, whoso salary and ex penses were to be collected by tho Comp troller General from tho railroad compa rtios oed paid over to the CoD>miw!?n?r. The South Carolina Railroad has ?efue&d to pay Ita portion of the salary, ' amount ing to cloven bund rod dollars, and Gov. Bonham, tho Commlsslc-ier, asked tho Legislature for an nj nopriatlon from tho State to 'pay lt. Tho appropriation passod tho Senate, and on Its passage in the House u vory interesting debate sprang up, Mt'-vu. Coobo, Bacon, Aldrich and Gaillard advocating paying it, and Mr. Murray opposing it. ' Tho appropriation Was passed hy a vole of 66 to 46, and thus nsain tho.Loglsiaturo has boon liberal onoufjh to glvo away the pcoplo's roonoy for what tho Stato^oes not owe, while they refueo to pay the just claims due sorbo of tho Judges, Thc? effect of this action will bo to induce every railroad lu the State to refuse to pay anything on thia salary next yoAr, and then the State will bo called on to foot up all cf the ex penses Of inn Omeo, amounting io moro j than ?5ur thousand dollars. The omeo j was created for tho mutual advantage of | tho railroads and tho people. Tho ctigl natora of tho measure asaurod tho Legis loturo lost session that ibo rniiruuds do tilted tho creation-of tho office, and would willingly pay Ita expenses. Tho Act Was ?4 drawn os to require thom to pay these expensen/ hut tho Legislature, fooling that tho State la vory rich, neve, by the action ooovo referred to, rolloved the railroads of thia burden. There ls now vory llttlo doubt that the Legi sin turo will adjourn boforo Christ mas, On Monday night Mr. Murray said whether the Houso intended to adjourn before Christmas or sot, and to do so he would movo to lay all bills which hod not passed their second reading on tho labx?> Tho ayes and nays woro taken, anet vet tilted, s^es CO? naya S5, so tho mo tloa wan agreda to,. and tito Sonato is forced to assume tho whole responsibility IS the session la proloajrod.

Wtll, why not7 What would a newspaper ; hu now-a-diiys Hist was not sensational ? My letter to the Newe and Oturier of tho Mil ' December from thia city must have created ' a sensation, judging from the editorial? of the weekly press of the 8tate, and the letters jiro and cm I lia vc received from the State. I 1 promised to give vour readers something to think about und I succeeded I havo no 1 wurdi of reply for any of them but the Newberry Herald and Abbeville Press and Banner, To the former I would say, not a syllable in my letter call be shown to tend towards , tho "disintegration or disorganization of tbe party'.' in South Carolina. I wrote en tirely nf" Federal politics, and believed eve ry word 1 wrote, and believe it yet. And I repeat what I said, or intended to say, that we of the Houth, who are held responsible by thc American people for all tho legisla tion of Congress, because we aro in tho ma jority in tho Democratic party, and that party is in the majority in boin Houses of Congress, are so manipulated by our North ern allies (though they ure in thc minority,) that all our Federal legislation redounds to thc heneflt of that section, and none, or almost none of it, to our benefit. Northern Democrats will vote with Northern Repub licans to defeat Southern measures. This I huve seen done repeatedly, and hence my aversion to tho great Southern Democratic party continuing to play mammoth tail to the Kort horn Democratic pigmy kite. The Herald is considerate in Its editorial, for which it'bas my thanks - but it must pardon me for saying my position and that ot (.'ol. Keitt's are as antipodal as the poles. Tiie Colonel mid I may "take thc same po sition" in deprecating sectional politics, but there would be a divergence the moment we begun to seek a remedy. He nominates ?Gen. (?rant. I lea von? ! and. too, in con junction witli Havarti. Where can two ! more discordant representative men bo found ? I would not vote for tho former, and could not, with my i>re?ent convictions, advocate the claims offne latter.' I know not thc promptings that suggested the editorials In the frees and Banner when reviewing my letter, but they impress mo timi tho writer would be pleased to bring mc into disrepute with tho people of the Stale, and have them believe I would dis rupt tho party in power in Houth Carolina, Slid abet tho following of the scalawags, whom everybody ought to know I hate as I hate Old Bin. If I misinterpret his motive, I ask pardon. If I do not, I would simply pay to my Scottish friend, look to your own skirts. The people of South Carolina never have, and, perhaps, never will, fail to locate nie correctly in any and every crisis that lins or may occur. Enough of this. Let thc people think, as 1 trust ?hey may, for if there Is a fault with our State, it is that tho people do not take interest enough in Federal politic*. When the public mind is directed to any subject, thc conclusion drawn is generally correct, unless a diversion is created by de signing demagogues. In my judgment, the Republican party is to-day lea by just such men ; and, unfortunately, the National Democratic party is not lcd ut all, but drifts along always in tho interests of tho North ern minority. And so we go. Lout summer you stated that Garfield bad made a speech in Toledo, averring that ho lind no hand of friendship to extend to any "Rebel," unless said "Rebel" would confess bis guilt, and acknowledge that secession was a crime, or words to that effect. A few days ago 1 was sitting in tho vestibule of tho Hall of Representatives talking to tho Hov. A. T. Porter, ot your city. Garfield flossed by, stopped a moment, turned, and n r. most cordial way extended his hand tonia and welcomed mc back, hoped I had been weil, ?co., ?xe. Al OiiO? I Irin stabs rod tbe Toledo speech, bnt could not allude to it then. Subsequently I sought him out and told him what was telegraphed as coming from him at Toledo, und t.ikc-d bim if lt wero true. He denied it in toto. I then asked him what he did say. Ho re plied: "I said I had no friendship for those who Bald wo wero wrong in uphold ing the Union." I asked him who ever ac cased them of being wrong in doing this? Ho said wo of thc South. I denied it. Then hu said, tho "Okalonn States" "and Bob Toomba" and a lot of other stuff that was irrelevant to tho subject under consid eration, an suddenly arose from his coat and left mc. I am convinced he said just what he was charged with saying, and by just i ?ch moral cowards aro the muses of the V nth to-day deluded as regards the South and her people. Under their leader iihlp thc sectional lino will never bo oblit erated. The most interesting debate of tho session occurred in tho Senato on Thursday last, upon Mr. Voorheeb'o resolution to investi rte tho North Carolina exodus. I may be wrong here, too, but I was amazed at tho courue of debato followed by -ne Democrats, rtsnnrtlally tho Southern Senator?. Thoy g nibbled" about straws, and attempted to de fend the peoplo of North Carolina against tho popular charges of maltreatment of those negroes, when thoy must know that a Yankee negropholite (ia theresuch a word?) would believe tho stories of tho most igno rant negro sooner than he would tho sworn testimony of Ben Hill himself, or any other Southern Senator. I am amazed at the opposition presented by Southerners to this negro exodus. Why not lot them go ? If they remain in tho South theio is no development, no advance ment, no accumulation of wealth by tho toiling farmers or laborers. Every cuter prise is sub ordinated to this brake upon the wheels of progress. Turn back tho pages of history for tho past fifteen years and search for tho chanter un Southern progress. It is ?not there. Where else in all christen dom can that chapter not bo found? Havo we Southerners no enterprise, no push, no go-ahcadativeness ? Yos, wo have;*but how can wo assert it with thia incubus of igno rance and stupidity hanging about us Uko a galling yoko? But tho publia mind Bays we want tho negro here, and I have said die public mind is not often wrong. So, porhaja, I err in wishing the exodus a God speed. Perhaps I do. I do, nevertheless. , Congress adjourned yesterday till tho 0th Of January, 1880.
