THE BAILY NEWS. ATJFAIBS IN COLUMBIA. Leslie Take? bia Scat and Makes a Speech-Protest Against the Armed Police-A Debate on thc >i a uufac turing Company Bill-Something for Charles, ton. [FROM OUR OWN C0BSE6PC NDENT. ] COLUMBIA, S. C., December 19.-IN THE SENATE, yesterday, Senator Leslie, of Barn? well, waa readmitted to hie seat by an almost nnanimons vote. Before taking bis seat, the senator thanked the Senate for the justice and magnanimity which it had displayed. He ac? knowledged that he had, prompte! hy his ' ardor, indulged in language unbecoming a gentleman and senator; but be desired now To burv forever all animosity, so that the whole Senate might address itself to its duties, and ita members avoid all personalities. He hoped that the Senate would commend itself to tbe good people of the State, and good people everywhere. ... _ When he had finished his remarks, Senator Leslie took his neat, and soon after was taking as active an interest as ever in the business of the day. The following were read a first time: A bill to incorpoiate the Citizens' Saving Bank. A bill to renew the charter of Pendleton village. A Dill to regulate the practice of medicine. A bill for the con version of State securities. A concurrent resolution in relation to the jnanufacture of cotton and other staple articles. A bill to renew the charter of tho Stony Bluff Ferry. A bill to amend an aotto extend the time for officers to qualify was takeu up, amended and ordered to be engrossed. The resolution to suspend the enforcement of the act to close the operations of the Bank of the State was indefinitely postponed. A motion to take up the report of the Com jnitte on Railroads en a bill lor the relief of the Savannah and Charleston Railroad was not agreed to. ... . Mr. Hoyt, from the Committee on Railroads, to whom was referred the bill to extend the provisions of an act entitled "An act for the relief of the Charleston and Savannah Railroad Company to the Savannah and Charleston Railroad Company, 'reported back the same, accompanied by a substitute, with a recom? mendation that the substitute do pass. Hr. Hoyt moved that the rules be suspended, and that the bill receive its first reading. Objections being made, the report and bill was ordered for consideration on Monday. IN THE HOUSE, to-day, the following papers were entered on the journal : The undersigned, members of the House of Representatives, do hereby enter our protest against a resolution authorizing the Governor of the State to enlist a company of one hundred or more men as a military organization to en? force the civil laws of South Carolina, for the following reasons, viz: 1st. Because the courts are organized, a full . quota of civil officers installed in each county, and the whole machinery of civil government in full operation. 2d. Because in time of peace, which now prevails in South Carolina, military organiza? tions are dangerous to the liberties of the people. 3d. Because, even if the ordinary civil offi? cers common to republican governments were insufficient to preserve the peace in our State, ample provisions have already been made for the contingency by the organization of a ..State police." 4th. Because, in eur ?pinion, this organization will, irstead oz preventing lawlessness, be the most fruitful agent in producing the very state of affairs which it is intended to remedy. 5th. Because it greatly augments the already intolerable burden of taxation by organizing a military force to accomplish that which, ac? cording to the organic law of the land, it is the duty of the posse comiialus to perform without any expense to the State whatever. 6th. Because it is in direct violation of the spirit of all republican institutions, in that it imposes an unjust and unequal taxation upon that portion of the citizens of the Ste * who may happen to reside in the vicinity where an outrage has been committed, and thereby punish the many for the violation of the few. 7th. Because the productive energy of the country will be obstructed by the alarm and - uncertainty arising from an acknowledgment on the part of the civil authorities that recon? struction is a failure, and that obedience to the laws can only be enforced at the point of I the bayonet. Signed : Claude C. Turner, John B. Moore, Samuel Littlejohn, Javan Bryant, O M. Dovle, F. S. Lewie, W. C. Keith, W. G. Stewart, Rob? ert M. Smith. In th? exercise of a constitutional right ac? corded to every member of the General As? sembly, we record eur votee in the ne cati ve on a bill entitieu "i. P?1 to regulate tho practice of, medicine," passed by this body, yesterday, and j assign as reasons therefor, as follows : The ' law now of force in this State protects the profession and. people from quacks and im ' posters more folly than the bill under conside? ration, inasmuch as by it regular graduates of the Alopathic and Thompsonian schools of - medicine are the only practitioners allowed to avail themselves of legal remedies for the col? lection of their fees; whilst this bill provides that the graduates of all medical schools, of J whatever name or character, shall enjoy like privileges. Ia addition to this wide door for irregular practice already too common in th? country, it places the regular graduate of the beet medical echools who has sustained heavy expense in the acquisition of his profession, and spent, perhaps, a good portion of bis life in perfecting himself in it. OB an equality with the charlatan, who has been practicing bis impositions on the people fer ten years with? out any preliminary education whatever, and without, perhaps, a single qualification for the practice of any ?ne of the departments of medicine. Signed : 0. M. Doyle, F. S. Lewie, Jo van Bryant. / A bill to provide for the payment of fees of sheriffs for dieting persons confined in jail was read the first time. A bill to establish a S tato Orphan Asylum was read a first time. A joint resolution authorizing the Governor to employ an armed force lor the preservation of the peace Tas read the third time. The biD to establish the County of Aiken was made the special order for January 12, 1869. The petition for the removal of the disabili? ties of Wm. F. Irvin, oiOoonee, was duly re? ferred. A bill to ratify and amend the charter of the Charleston. South Carolina, Mining and Man? ufacturing Company came up. Whipper moved a postponement to Janu? ary 12. DfaLarge spoke earnestly in favor of the im? mediate consideration of the bill, and explain? ed the objects of the company and the good it would do the Stale. McKinlay gave a history of the company, and hoped that the bill would be amended so as to make it more satisfactory. Whipper wanted time for examination and preparation. The company propose 1 to issue 600,000 shares upon security of their property, which might be valuable and might be two o?d carts and shovels. Bansieropposed the motion to postpone. Ho spoke of the value of the phosphates, and said that home enterprises should be supported. Ur. Purvis said the committee were satisfied of the amount of property pledged by the com ?any. They wanted to begin operations on une 1. Hr. Jenks said that the object of the com? pany was to issue stock and sell it in the North. The stock represented nothing. There was no evidence to show that they had $600,000 worth of property. The assets amounted to nothing like it. He hoped the motion to postpone would prevail. Elliott thought that the wiehes of the Charleston delegation should be respected, and the bill considered at once. Bosemon said he found that if the name of Charleston were inserted in any bul it stirred up opposition. The company had a capital of $600,000 when it began, it had expanded, and no doubt had property to that amount. It bad 60,000 acres of land, and was the richest of all the phosphate companies. Wilder said that to name Charleston was to kill a bill according to a previous speaker. Something most be done for poor Charleston; but he was not willing to allow the issue of $610,000 worth of bonds which poor people would invest in. Some one on the floor (mean? ing Mr. Hurley) has given eome information since the bill was reported. He hoped the bill would be put off until the members knew whether it was for the benefit of the State at large as well as Charleston. Hr. Neagle moved to adjourn. Adopted. TOTAL EcxrP3z_Rev. J. K. Graves, of Mag? nolia, Mississippi, in a letter dated March 27, 1866, thus describes au "eclipse" occurring at that place : "lt works to a charm. Its sim? plicity isin deed wonderful 1 All who witness its speed and execution, in the bands of Mrs. Gra ves, are perfectly delighted and astonished !

RADWAY'S REHOVATTNO RESOL VENT.. A NEW PRINCIPLE DISCOVERED. One Bottle na" Resolvent is Better Than Ten Large Bottles of the Advertised Sarsaparillas. or Direct Diuretic Ment? edles. PHYSICIANS wonder at the extraordinary power o.1 RADWAY'S RENOVATING RESOLVENT lu curing the worst torras of Scrofulous Syphiloid, Chronic Skin Diseases, and its marvelous power in resolving calculons concretions, affording immediate relief and consequent cure of Diseases of the Kidney, Bladder, Liver, Lungs, Pancreas, Spleen. Its rapid influence in tho cure of Diabetes, Incontinence er scanty, tur? bid, albuminous, cloudy urine; its almost instant ef? ficacy in stopping itching and painful discharge of urine, and its singular power in curing discharges from the Uterus and Urethra, L^ucorrhcea, Bloody Urine, and other unhealthy and weakening dis? charges;-and inquire wherein thc S ARS APAR IL LIAN used in the Renovating Resolvent diners irom, ordinary Sarsaparilla* I barsiparillian is the only principle m Sarsaparilla that possesses curatm properties; all other parts of the root arc inert and useless. One ounce of the extract obtained under Dr. Radway'snew process tor extracting tue curativo properties from vegetable substances, contains more of the true principle of cure than twenty pounds of the ordinary roots. SARSAPARILLHN is only one of the ingredients that forms this truly wonderful medicine; and it is the only compensating remedy that communicates its purifying, cleansing and reinvigorating proper? ties through the BLOOD, SWEAT. URINE, and other secretions, securing a harmonious functional action of every depraved organ and gland in the sys? tem. IS the blood is corrupt, tl j Resolvent will make it pure. If the Lum? are ulcerated and sore, secreting thick phlegm and prurelent matter, the Resolvent will loosen this deposit and repair tho wasting lung with sound and healthy material, li the Skin is covered with pimples, spots, puetuiee, sores, ulcers, tc, the Resolvent will quickly removs these annoyances. IX mercury is deposited in the bones and bas accumulated m Che system, the Re? solvent will drive it out li the Throat or Bronchial Glands are ulcerated, the Resolvent will cure these signs or au early waste. Direct remedies, possess? ing only exclusive properties, are hurtful, es they increase UK functional secretions of on - organ by suspending the constituent secretions of others; hence, a compeusating remedy like the Resolvent is tho only means of a permanent cure. BEAR IN MIND THAT EVE RX DROP OF BLOOD Impregnated with the Resolvent and absorbed to supply tho waste of the body, will make pure, sound and healthy flesh and ? luv. i he first dose that is taken commences its work of purification and in? creasing thc appetite andjtesh.
