[FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, September 22.-Tho Legislature ad ourned yesterday at the hour appointed, after , long, prosy, tedious session of three weeks, "hey havo accomplished but little; but still, as wo re full of tho milk of human kindness, we are isposed to givo the members some credit (not by pay lending 'em any spondulix) for their gift of ab and countenance. Now wo must honestly and andidly confess that some of thom can make ery pretty speeches, full of rounded periods and welling sentences, that fall upon the ear like trains of musio far distant on a balmy summer's ve. Like a pig's tail, however, these speeches re moro for ornament than for use. The evening session of the 20th was character led by a bettor display of coyn-bread common ense than has been exhibited in tho assemblage r me Besti?n, ii arose uyou a point of order mich grew out of some remarks made by Mr. IOLLINS on the report of the Free Conference lommitteo to tho House, on the Bill to suspend tho ittings of the Courts. The House Committee ?aB MULLINS, KEITT and WALKER; the Senate's, (ULLIVAN, DOZIER and KERSHAW. A majority of ho Senate's Committee refused to reconmond the tdoption of tho House amendment. The samo najority refused to recommend that of the Senate. As we have already stated, it arose from Bomo ?emarks which fell from Mr. Mullins while ho was ?riticising the action of the Senate's committee. Mr. Barker, of Charleston, called the gentleman o order. The Speaker requirod that thu point bo (tated in writing. It wai complied with, and read ts follows: The point of order I make is thij (reading): The member is out of order iu this, that he uu lertakes to arraign the constitution of a committee )f the other brauoh of the Legislature and the ?onductof the presiding officer of tho Senate, aud n arraigning the action of a committee of confer 3DCO of the two bodies and by expusiug the votes jf members of tho committee." Tho Sposker hero read the rules which refer to personalities in debate. Mr. Mullins demanded that tho .objectionable ?.ords be reduced to writing. Mr. B.irker not be? ing" a phonographer, nor possessing tho memory i)f a-, doi'hrod it was impossible tor him to give the exact laoguago which tho goutleunn i? rapid'y had just made uso of. Mr. Alullms a.*ked for tho reading of tho Otu rule. Mr. Barkor of course had to "cave in," ns tho boya say, and withdraw bia point ol'order; but he asked Mr. Mullins if he did not arraign the constitute n of the Comoiittoo and ibo action af the Committeo. Mr. Mullins played circus jow, and rode round the riug (here, by way of di? gression, we cannot keep from saying that Mr. Mullins, if ho is little, has thu speed and bottom, a.U'1 is a dexterous swordsman). The Speaker hero thought, and so expressed it, that Mr. Mullins was about to violate tho rules liv Hscussing mattera pertaining to the other bod}7. Mr. Mullins desired that what had taken place mould be mado a part and parcel or the record, md disclaimed tiru ho inteuded or designed the ?ayiug of anything that savored of ill-feeling or lisrespect to any one in the House or to tho Sonate. The question now arose, what shall be done ? The Committee having failed to do auythui" it devolved upon tho House to do something ?* The Speaker observed that the House amend? ment was lost. Tho question now was, should it be accepted as it came from the Senate? Mr. darlington here asked for information in regard io the report of the Free Conference Com? mittee, and concluded his remu-ks hy savin" th it according to his understanding, tho commit teo Iud reported m favor of tho Huve amendment Mr. Mullins arose and ?lated that tho question woud lune bean set-bd hui that Mr. Tim.nps.m, ur th- b nate s c .mruutee, though concurring iii the Hms- ?m.m.lui^nt,. refused to sun tho re? port, on tho grou.m mat ho did wit ??li to raise ut IauUn U 'T, belweu" 1,1,3 ,w" House?.

Considerable ingenuity in tl? w?y of wiro pulling has been displayed; but the itorrly old veterans of ino senatorial body stood lo (heir posts as firm . ,. ,....jal uiiirls lo begin at tho neat suing term. Neither J ll interferes with the Sesiona Court for the naiof nc-rsons charged with triases or misdemea? nors, i g?mate Bill only ettenda to ono term, and u confined to contracts, ilow it will work re? mains to be aeon. The friend, ol' the Stay Law will, however, we think, ooir? forward at the ingmar time with some new nfoasure. They are noe to be deterred. The District Court Bill, whick has passed, Rives iiriaaiotion in all cases of misdanoanor, vagrancy, bastardy, and ni civil cases ii which tho title to lana ia not ?ovplved, and fa which the dent ?200 damasea oMwHjJtoe? not exceed The Bill referring to the ri?rJi?w persons of color, lately known as slaves aniWfroo persona ot color, HM wo have it now before us, was so much cut up and amended that we do not know its pro? vidions fully. The Legislature waa called together for the purpose of adopting tie Negro Code to suit tho ri.quirem.eu.tB0f tho United ?States Gov? ernment and tho exigency of the times. It ia really a great pity that so much time and money has been expended. Wo fear on that point for nothing. Men seem to bo aa contrary as oxen-to light against theprickB. What has to he done will have to be done. There is no doubt tbout that, and wo would much rather seo our own Legislature clo it than to be subjected to the humiliation of having one drawn by Gon. Sickles or Gen. How? ard or the next Congress, and um?e to swallow pills somewhat nauseous, which ollerwise could have been so easily avoided. Prudence ?B the better part of valor. This is what, wu think, and we aro very much afraid that thous ihds will thiuk otherwise before this day a twelve month. Tho act authorizing the Governor to, purchase com for distribution in the State is commendable; but one thing certain, tho Governor must keep his peepers open. He must have an eye to whom tie appoints, for we are wonderfully demoralized now. ''There's a meas in tho pot." Where a fel? low waa so disposed, while be was buying ono hundred thousand bushels for the commonwealth, ho could readily buy oakthe same credit ene hun? dred thousand for himself. The moat of people these days, unfortunately, while tbey are "a foo to tyrants and their country's friend," always have in eye to A Number One. Like Brutua, while they io not love Ciuaar leas, they love Borne more; which is as much BB to say : Bonny, put money in thy purse. Keep,.your ?voa skinned, Govornor, for wherever'the carcass ia ibero will be the 3agles also. Te Bill to establish a .penitentiary in thiB State ia an excellent ooe.

Many of tho crimes which went scot free would lot have been perpetrated. Close conlinement, vhero the couscienc? oan have full play, is ten 'old worse than the tortures of capital" puuisli nec/. Tnopc embrace, we think, tho most important neasurea transacted by this extra session. Thero ire many things which this- Legislature might ?avo informed themselves on and might have lone, preparatory for business at tho next session; mt tho whole body waa so infected with that oroketi-bono fever of the Stay Law and gassed so nuch over it that it got on tho brain, and they ionld do nothing else. Thero ia tho Insolvent Debtor's Act; something must and should be done vito, thia ut tho next regular session. Great manges are called for. The old lawa and princi? ples of seventy-five years ago, which control and ,'overn to-day, aro not suited to tho times; there oro laws ui?xt be made and adapted to'.tho pro? gress and spirit of tho ago. Buring tho sitting of tho Legislature several millring thinga occurred in tho House, "as a little lousense now and then is relished by tho wisest nen;" .but we forbear from reporting, though no lartu would be intended hy it.

From the 1st to tho loth little else ia talked if hero but the Emperor's Fete. Thia Feto ia a National and Church festival combined. On this Trave occasion free indulgence and the greatest iberlies aro granted, both hy Church and State. Tho lame, tho halt, tho blind, who have been jhut up for twelve months by the strictest police .egnlations, are now permitted to ascend from ho damp, dark, comfortless cellars, aud descend 'rom tho steep and cramped attics, to beseech ilma of tho millions who aro thronging tho jtreets. The pnvilogo of asking alms iii the streets ol' Paris is only grautet! on tho occasion of die Fete. Largo sums of money are expended by he Government in preparing for this annual cele? bration. The railways reduce the fare to a very ow rate, and the country como to town from A to ?. I made four excursions on the tops of fhe minibuses to the suburbs of thc city to look upon he vast multitude ofvpeople as they came crowd ng into the city, riding iu their antiquated car .iifes of the fir*t century. Tho crowd was so ;i "it in the streets I did not dire walk. The louies from cellar to garrot vere decorated with ?atioii'd h\i;,'B.

Tho country boys, 'tis said, were the best climbers. On this occasion it is the custom of the old soldiers of tho First Emperor to visit his tomb, and decorate his grave with a fresh wreath of Howers. This, to me, was an affecting and interesting sight. The number of these faith ful old soldiers is diminishing every year. Like the fathers of our own Revolution, they have near? ly all gone to their rest. . ..' ???? ' At one o'clock tho theatres, operas, mus?um?, and all public places of amusement, will throw open, without charge for admittance. The vast multitude of people began to assemble around tin se houses at the dawn of day. Many stood at tho (loots five to six hours. They were kept in a line ten abreast by the police. These Hues were often several hundred vardo in length. This is a proof of the fondness of the French for amuse? ments. They are a gay, light-hearted nation. On the river ?Seine the boat races took place. These races drew large crowds, to seo which would win tho prize. The Gardou of tho Tuileries was thronged all day. Near the Eoyal Palace was erected a lofty co'lonade formed of colored lamps, arranged in fine stylo and taste. The letter "IS.," in gold ci'lor, and the Imperial Crown, appeared on tho columns. The four side avenues h ading to tho fountain from tho Palace were beautifully de? corated with lamps and Chinese lanterns, of tho variegated colors of orange, pink, blue, red and green, Tue effect was beautiful. The fountains were all turned loose, and the display of water? works, seen at night through tho brilliant illu? mination, was grand to behold. Down the ceutre avenue of the garden stood, at equal distances, lotty poles, heiring each an escutcln on of colored lamps, having au 'TV" iu green, surmounted with white, and a crown in gold. The tri-colored French flag floated at tho top of each. In the Place de Concorde (the famous square where Louis XVI., Marie Antoinette, Charlotte Corday and others were guillotined), the globes were larger, of ground glass, and lighted with gas. In the centre of the avenue is an ornamental gar? den, erected for the occasion, filled with the choicest flowers and shrubs. This was framed amid tho "Egyptian Palace," with lofty colonades, having gas pipes running: through it, which gives more that 50,000 jets of flame. On tho face, north and south, appeared the Imperial Eagle (a bird very much respected iu this latitude), and ou the east and west two immense Suns. Up the avenue of Champs Elysees white globes rau along each side for moro "thau a mile, extending to the Tri? umphal Arch. This grand monument was brilli? antly illuminated, displaying to fine advantage tho historical scenes of the many hard-fought battles and victories of Napoleon J. A little after dark wo started in a carriage to the Garden of the Tuileries and Champs Elysees, but the police would not permit carriages to be diiyen witnin a. milo of either place. AB wo were not willing to risk our lives in the crowd, we drove some four miles, and came in tho rear of the illumination, where the jam was not so great, aud where we had a line view from a high hill near the New Fair Grounds. Tho fes? toons of lights, crossing each other in every direc? tion, and tho beautiful eflVct of the fountains playing, made the scoue quite enchanting. The private houses, markets, hotels, etc., were gene? rally illuminated, either hy long lines of gas pipes or Venetian lanterns. The u,^ of fire wack? ere in the streets has wisely been abolished. The tiro works on the Beiue were grand; they com? menced by a flight of rockets, succeeded by an eruption of Roman candles, filling the air with sparkling and varied hues. The illumination, representing the initials of the Emperor's family, was probably moro admired than any part of the exhibition. We reached home a little after mid? night, highly delightod with the day's entertain? ment; and I will say. to tho credit o? tbiajibuscd ct ty; marri aianotrseo iraTuokeu man ino whole day, and perfect order prevailed. A finer display of fireworks I do not suppose could be produced in any country. Ou this occasion there were four times as many people in tho streets of Taris as there are in the whole State of .South Carolina. This mass of human beings were to nie quito an interesting eight. At ono or two crossings on the Seine the crowds were so dense that hundreds were trampled under foot, aud some twenty persona killed. The wonder is that moro acci? dents did not occur. About 10 o'clock wo stood on a high point of land near tho Triumphal Arch, and had a lino view of the whole display of fireworks. They represented, in oue portion of the exhibits u, a battle of iufantry aud artillery. You could heir tho sound ot the inuskotry and seo the Hash of the cannon, and then the fuse shell burst in the air, and a moment moro hear tho explosion. The sceno reminded mo forcibly ol'the fete on Mor? ris Isl.iud, gotten up by Gen. Gilmore for the amusement (?) of tho people of Charleston. Just think ol' a Christian nation who were for two years employed iu throwing shot and theil in lp a city among helpless women und children I Let it not be told abroad, or written in history, that a nation of brothers could bo engaged in snell war? fare. History teaeiie* us that civil wars, of all others, are most lo be deprecated. Just look, for instance, at Germany. You see a million and a half ot men, speaking the ?ame language, sons of the same fatherland, divided only hy artificial lines, engaged in tho n.ost deathly conflict, pro? ducing desolation and misery throughout the land. Hear what a crushed mother says, after the last hattie fought tn Germany near Prague, where tho Austrians suffered so severely : "Duoply afflicted, I announce to our 1 datives and friends that my beloved husband dieu Yesterday morning from tho terrible agitation caused by the (loath of our children. Our fivo sons, Francis Joseph, Ernest, Guorgo, Leopold und Henrich de Stovolmski, have all laid down their hvos for their beloved Emperor and master. Four young widows and an only sister mourn wi'h mo." What a picture ! But such is war. May a kind and merciful Providence guido our people for all lime to como in tho paths of peace, love and unity. G. W. W. HAVANA QUARANTINE.-The New Tori; Journal cf Commerce of Thursday, the 20ih inst., says : Tho steamer Columbia, Captain Slocum, arrived yesterday from Havana, after a pass ige of three days and twenty hours. We uro indebted to the purser for tho usual favors. Another modification of the quarantine regula ?oiis of Cuba has been mudd by the .Superior Civil Governor in a circular dated the 10th inst., by w hich the period of observation tn which vos? e?is from the Uniteit States were subjected, has been limit"d to live days for those oroeeeding from New York, New Orleans, Philadelphia and Baltimore, and to threo days for ihose from other ports of the Union, provided that they all bring clean bills ot health and have no cases of cholera on tho voyage; in the latter case they will be sub? ject to tho existing regulations.
