C., Nov. -2-2, 1881. Yesterday's trains from al! parts of the Slate brought to the city." a very full gathering of the members ot the Legis lature, considering the fact ibm nearly all of them admit that two weeks ago they thought the session did not begin until next Tuesday, tlie mistake arising from tho fact that il was generally thought that the sesi?n began on the Tuesday after the fourth Monday, in stead of the fourth Tuesday in December, as the Constitution provide-. I bis year the molli li came in on Tuesday, and therefore the session begins as nally as possible in the month, and sooner tr an it will again convene during the next th c years. The Jccnvenalions last night among the members from different portions of the State elicited the fact that although the member-' are greatly impressed with the responsibility and importance of tho work before the session, yet there is a very wide difference of opinion, amount ing almost, if not altogether, to hitit r ncss upon ?oin? of til.- topics that will engage thc attention ot the General As sembly, lt is unfortunate for the State, in .our opinion, that the Legislature i.? called to pnss upon quite a number of ??sues upon which very greal diversity ol' opinion exists among the masses of tho people of the State, just before the most critical and dangerous canvass that we have had since 187t>. In many in stances, let the action bc what it may, very great dissatisfaction will arise, and we fear be turned to advantage by ambi tious politicians. Prominent among these are the questions: 1. Of extend ing the Fence or Stock Law to Counties which have not hitherto adopted tho new BViteni. li. Of passing the Prohibi tion Law. 8. Of repealing thc Lien Law It is proposed to enact THE PESCE OR STOCK I. AW for the e.itire State, willi the exception of some Counties in which large swamps abound, which would render fencing very expensive and inconvenient. From the present lone and tenor of thc mem bers on this subject, I think they are disposed to adopt,.the proposition, and thus set the question at rest. Every ses sion of the Legislature petitions aro coming up for the extension of tho law, the consideration of which consumes a great deal of time, and costs the State no inconsiderable sum of money, besides engendering local animosities and dissen sions which nre carried into every ran vasa. Hy the adoption of the general law tho friends of the measure anticipate a permanent and i-aliafactory settlement of tho matter, which will greatly enhanco tho agricultural prosperity and material development of our State. The trouble w hich seemed to threaten tho political ruin of the Stato some time sinco by tho precipitation of a discussion and the probable passage of TUE PROHIBITION LAW for South Carolina, has, in a large meas ure, subsided. The question will proba bly be introduced and discussed, but there is no chance foi its passage, and therofore it is not probable, there will bo any serious evil effects from the discus sion. In fact, the discussion of thc sub ject during- tho past Summer seems rather to have damaged than benefited the temperance leform, and therefore there is no probability of tho passage of additional restrictions nt this time. If there is any real contest, it will be over an effort to repeal the present laws Such an efTort will not, in my opinion, prevail, though it is probable that the law will be amended so as to permit the manufacture and salo of domestic wines in quantiiie.s by the parties who grow grapes in this country, aud perhaps also so as to permit distilleries to sell their whiskies in quantity to the retail dealers in this Stato. As ti e 'aw now stands those who distill in thia Stato aro thought by some to bo prohibited from sellmg at all in South Carolina, while tho distille ries of North Carolina and other States aro permitted to sell here without license It ia argued that our own people ought to be givon an equal opportunity with tho people of other States "or selling their manufactures in our midst, and it ia not improbable that the law may be amended so as to give them the right BO to sell. At any rate, I think tho tempe rance laws will remain about aa they now are, with very alight changes, if any. The great question here, so far as in terest and feeling are concerned, is tho proposition to repeal THE LI EX LAW. The members cannot discuss it with any moderation, and ono frequently hears the most immoderate expressions from advo cates on each side. As far as I can gather the feeling of the members, I think there will bo a very fierce, bitter ! and unfortunate fight over the proposi tion to repeal, but there is very littlo prospect that the effort will be successful. The feeling, as f?r as it can be gathered from conversations with members from different parts or the State, is very much divided-tho whiles being about evenly divided on it, and the negroes almost unanimously opposed to a repeal. A Senator from one of the middle counties, last night, went -so far as to say in a con versation, that a majority of bia people could not do without the law, and that ita repeal would break up the Democratic party ; and moreover announced that if thc repeal should be made, he would himself lead a party to drivo the party which repeals it from power. This goe3 to show that the IJ?TELLIOEN CER was right in maintaining that in tho preaeut feverish political condition of our State all classes of our people who wish to maintain the supremacy of Democratic government in South Carolina should be moderate in discussion and prepared to y told their personal preferences {.o tho necessities of the times.. Governor Ha good, it is said, will recommend tba -tm medi?te repeal of thc law in his M?sange, which will be presented to-day, aud it will be interesting to know the reasons which he will assign. Last year in flic midst of prosperity he made no such r? commendation, but this year, when the State lia* beeu afflicted with a serious druuth and gnat scarcity, bli Kxcellencj suddenly discovers that the Lien law : a great curse. Whether be will accutc tue Lien law of producing the drouth or not remains to be seen, as does also bis reasons for wanting to take away the means ol" credit from thousands of poor but respectable and honest white men a' a time when many of them ?viii at hi -'. find it difficult lo obtain bread and cloth ing for their . cs and children. Men who advocated tho repeal ?>f the law lu-: year may with nome consistency d'? BU again. though many of them now say that thia time is sioi propitious for the chang -, but those who did not think a repeal desirable hut year must be rovel thinker- to adduce reasons why it should be repealed now. A- wc lone already said, there i- \ery Hill . prompt ct ihal the law will bc repeated. It will, however, bc urged -troug ? ir ugh to produce \i ry great bad feeling ail o' rr the Stale, l i e Coin mitti e to revile onr i'.l.!!' I ION I AW-, will report today recommending tho adoption of a registration law, the main features of which will be to reunir? each voter to register iu the months of May ami June, before a supervisor lo be ap pointed f?r each county, who will go around to each township und take thc names of such voter? as present them selves for registration. Me will give lo each such voter it certificate of registra tion, which shall contain thc voter's name, age. occupation and place- of resi dence, and such voter can only vote by presenting his certificate of registration to the managers at th? polls in thc pre cinct for which the voter i? registered. The tickets are all lo be of the same size, color, lorin and appearance, without any mark or symbol other than the names ol the candidate- on them. l here are tu bo two separate polls at each precinct one tor the federal and the other for ihc State election-and a different set ol managers fur each poll. Each poll is tr be railed off, so as to have one place foi a voter to enter and another for bia exit and but one voter is to be allowed in I li i; polling place at a lime ; and no penni i? to be allowed to apeak to the votei while casting his vote except he man agers. There will be six boxes for tm diff?rent officers al the State poll mid I wi at ihc federal poll, aud no vote not pu in the proper box shall be counted There are numerous details about tin bill, bul t'.ie foregoing are it? proud nen change.? of the old law. I bo report i likely to meet with a very cousideriibl opposition, bul il is thought now thal i will pass and become a law. Our pee pie are tired of the continual hue am cry from abroad and at home abeu frauds in elections, and while every on conversant with such things knows thu our elections here are as fair aa any i tho New Fnglaud or Northern State: slill our people want and need a chang which will free us from the harrnssin and malicious prosecutions and wbolesal denunciations which have been heape on na during the past live years. Th lawa we now have were passed by th Republicana, and it is right and propc that the Democrats should adopt a bette system. THE RAILROAD COMMISSION will alao report, and it is understood tin they will recommend the adoption of Hyslem of regulation somewhat in ai cordanco with the Georgia laws, wilie will alford thc people of the State prc lection against the growing power i these strong corporations. There is n more important matter before the Legi: lature than thia report. It should I moat thoroughly and fairly considere! and some system fair alike to the corpc rations and the people should be adop ed. I think the Legislature is now read and willing to pnss such n measure. THE ELECTION OF JUDGES is creating no 1 itt lo interest in some i the Circuits, particularly the second an Bixth, where tho strongest contests wi be made, lt is not improbable that tl: elections may bo brought off next wee in order to get rid of the excitement ii eldent to the canvass, which is very dan aging to the other business of the Bessioi THE CODE COMMISSION will also report, and it will require froi two to three weeks to read aud act upc iU report. Thc work baa been done in thorough and complete manner I Messrs. Simonton, Hart and Parker, tl three Commissioners, and, under tl Constitution, ia to ataud for ten year It is, therefore, a work of very great in portance to the people of the Stato, fi it will be the whole statute law of .1 gci irai character of this Stato up to ti Lime of its adoptier:, it should, then fore, receive a very careful and accura ittention from tho General Assembly.

T. .1. Mackey is not tho niau that can succeed in any such effort, lie does not possess the confidence of the white people even of his own party the Radical party, for he is no less a Radical to day than when Scott and Moses ruled-nor scarcely the respect of tho Democrats of the State. While there aro some dissensions in the ranks of the Democracy, yet those dissensions are not sufficiently widespread to allow such a man as Mackey to come in and capture the Slate. The people of South Carolina should keep nu eye ou this j erratic genius. SHOOTING AT ?LITEAU. The AaMMlU Airain DUpliiya hin Coward ice. WASHINGTON, I). C., November 10. While (tutean was hoing taken back to jail this afternoon a man on horse bank rode up beside tho van and fired a shot at Guitcnil. Tho ball grazed his arin, and tho man rode oil* and cscapoJ. Tho driver of tho prison van gives tho following partioulars of tho attempt to shoot Quiteau. Tho facts are substan tially theso: Upon tho adjournment of the Court tho van started ns usual for tho jail, having one police ns guard, who sat on tho seat with tho driver. Ilcforo reaching Capital street tho guard noticod a young man on horseback riding leis urely behind tho van. Near tho coi ner of Hast Capital and First streets thc horseman rode directly up to tho rear of tho van and hastily peered through thc small grating. Guiteaii was at ono end of tho van, and was seated on tho right hand seat, tho seat running length wise of tho van. After evidently satis fying himself of tho location of tho pris oner, tho horseman wheeled suddenly to tho left of tho van and tired directly through it. Ho then dashed to loo front of tho van and pointed his pistol nt tho driver w ith tho evident intention of in t i mutating him or stopping tho van. The driver was somewhat excited, and in responso to an inquiry of a re-portor said: Perhaps ho intended to stop the van by shooting ono of the horses. S Oe ing au armed policeman by tho sido of tho driver, he exclaimed : "I've shot tho -of a-," and, putting spurs to Iiis horse, started down Rast Capitol street in thc direction of the Congressional Cemetery. Tho policeman tired ono shot at thc fast disappearing horseman and the driver of van w hipped bis horses into a gallop and kept in s I ir ht of him for several blocks. Thc would-be aven ger, was, however, mounted upon a blooded horso and readily escaped out into tho country. Tho shooting caused much excitement in tho city, and the evening papers issued several extra editions, each of which was quickly exhausted. It is announced to-night that tho offender is William Jones Tanner, living in Montgomery County, Maryland, eight or niuo miles fr ."o Washington. Ho will probably bo ai jsted in the morning. Quitean was terribly frightened. When tho van was opened at tho jail bo was foil ne. crouchetl in a corner, lils teeth chattering with fear. Ho was unable to move at first, and when ho recovered he 11marked complacen'.ly : "Tho I<ord is on my side, stiro enough, but 1 think Ho had bettor have sumo more polico men to help Him to tako caro of me after Ibis." There waa no wound, tho ball passing through his coat sleeve, and only rousing contusion of tho arm from tho :onnussion. Hie State Capital. COLUMPIA, Sunday Night, Nov. 20.
