of the track, little or none the worse for the

engine. Instead of loosing presence of

selves composedly as though nothing hud
happened; the old lady put her hands in bet

ed, as if grasping tho reins, and the whip

triumphant , amid the oheers of the bystanders.
As soon as the train stopped, a number rushed
to their assistance; but they dcolmed all aid,
manifesting no concern for themselves, bat
considerable for the fate of the horses and

damages to the wagon were trifling.

[FEOM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.J
COLUMBIA, S. C., February G.-The now pro?
gramme for tho settlement of the Charleston
eleotion case was brought up in tho Senate to?
day. It appears to meet with considerable
favor, as shown by the refusal of tbe Senate to
lay the bill on the table, a motion for which
was made by Senator Hoyt, of Oolleton. Tho
proposition is to order a new election. The
suggestion was first thrown out by Senator
Leslie, in the debate on this subjeot last Thurs?
day, as a sort of compromise. Senator Cain,
who also appears desirous of a compromise,
acted in accordance with tho suggestion, and
has introduced tho following :
A BILL TO E.TABLE THE CITIZENS OF CHARLESTON
TO HOLD AN ELECTION FOB MAYOR AND ALDER?
MEN AND TO MORE CLEARLY DEFINE THE MAN?
NER OF HOLDING SAID ELECTION.
Whereas, The General Assembly did, on the
25th day of September, 1868, pass an act au
thoriziug tho holding of an election tor Mayor
and Aldermen in the City of Charleston, on tbs
10th day of November, 18G8; and, whereas, said
eieotiou was held at the time, in said above
cited act; and, whereas, it does appear that
muoh fraud was praoticod in conducting said
eleotion, to tho detriment of the interests of all
the citizens of the said city and of the free ex?
pression of tbe will ot the people; and whereas,
the Mayor and Council who wer* made judges
of the result by the aforesaid act, have declar?
ed that the same is null and void by virtue of
the frauds and non-complianoe of the parties
acting as officers in said eleotion; therefore,
Be il enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives now met and sitting in Gene?
ral Assembly and by the authority of the
same:
SECTION L That there shall bo ordered
another election in the City of Charleston un?
der the provisions of the act of this General
Assembly, passed 25th day of September, 18G8,
and tho said election shall be conducted in the
same manner as therein prescribed, except that
tho final decidion and proclamation ot the re?
sult snail be uiMe by the Acting Board of
Regislers and Maurois ot Elections nuder
oath, and not by the Mayor and Aldermen.
SEC. 2. This act shall take effect immediately
after its passage, and said election shall take
place within thirty days after the passage of
this act.
SEO. 3. All acts and parts of acts inconsist?
ent with this be, and the samo are hereby re?
pealed.
A very lively and interesting debate took
place in the Senate yesterday and to-day on
the bill providing for the codification of the
statute laws of the State.
Jackson introduced into the House, to?
day, a bill to alter and amend an act to quiet
lights vested under military orders. This re?
peals the third section of the act which vali?
dates the special ordor of General Canby. Tho
effect of the passage of the bill would bs to
declare tbe Mayoralty and Alder manic Board of
Charleston vacant. This summary mode of
ouster is-tttoanl tobe antecedent'to the seating
of Mr. Pillsbury by the passage of Senator
Corbin's bul.
Proceedings ox* Thursday.
COLUMBIA, S. C., February 4_THE SENATE
to-day was orowded with visitors in expecta?
tion of bearing the discussion on the Charles?
ton election case. Some little preliminary
business was transacted, and at 1 P. M. the
speoial order, being the bill to confirm and de?
clare valid tbe r?cent election of Mayor and
Aldermen of the City of Charleston, was call?
ed up.
Mr. Leslie moved that the speoial order be
discharged and made the speoial order for
Tuesday next, at 1 P. M.
Mr. Allen rose to oppose the motion of tbe
senator from Barnwell. He said he was un?
willing to be treated any longer with the utter
contempt exhibited by ths Acting Mayor and
Aldermen of the City of Charleston, in their
regard for the laws passed by the General As?
sembly. He said that if the gentlemen .of tbe
Legislature were willing to be trampled upon
by those men, then the bill should bo postpon?
ed; but if they intend to assert their rights as
legislators, they would bring thc matter to an
isauo at once and deoido it promptly.1
Maxwell hoped the motion to postpone would
not prevail, as repeated discussions of the
same subjeot were injurious to the interests of
tho State. He boped if senators were not in
favor of the bill they would not vpte to post?
pone its consideration.
Nash eaid be remembered that some years
age, in 1850 he believed, Robert Barnwell said,
on a certain occasion in tbe Congress of the
United States, if some bill passed he was going
home to tell the people of South Carolina to
put their houses in order, not to die but to
hvo.
IN ow he was willing to give the Democrats
all that bonestly belonged to them; hut he
would say that when a Republican is elected
to office in this State, he wanted the lawyers,
whet..er on Broad-street in Charleston, or
Lady-street in Columbia, to know that that
Republican was going to bold his office.
Mr. Allen. Did not the lawyers and press of
Charleston and the Democrats of that city de?
clare in advance, that they wo aid not abide by
the eleotion, if Mr. Pillsbury was successful ?
Nash said that be did see some such advice
in the papers. But ha would eay that if Re?
publican senators on this floor were going to
dodge this question from one time to another,
he would say to these senators from Charles?
ton, when they leave these halls, to go home
and tell tho? people to put their house in or?
der, not to live but to die.
He wanted tbe Sonate to understand this,
that when a Republican was elected to any
office in this State, as far ss.his (Nash's) vote
was concerned, sud as far as his vote could do
it, be was willing to bring the whole power of
the State to boai, to force the people to receive
and acknowledge that man as an officer of the
State.
The Republicans of Charleston elected their
man by twenty-two majority. In the City of
Columbia, the Democrats beat us by thirty-two
votes. We submitted, and if there ever was au
election where the greatest frauds were perpe?
trated it W.UJ hi ibis wi ty of Columbia. Bat the
Republicans were defeats I and they yielded.
Money, in Charleston, has prevailed, and
doubtless has corrupted some of the Republi?
cans there. A majority of tbs soling Alder?
men are said to be Rspubltoans, yet they are so
tenacious of office that they want to hold on
and not yield-to those, they know to be duly
elected. Every three months gives the acting
Mayor over a thousand dollars salary, and ht
can take that salary to fight Mr. Pillsbury with
in the court M. He (Nash) was not willing to
leave it to the courts or to any other person.
What are the rights of tue people in this mat
ter ? He was not willing to leavo the question
of the rights of the citizens tit tho States to
the courts, judges, or any particular indi?
vidual. The people of Rich land sent him there
.to represent them on this floor, and if he had
the power by his vote to protect them in their
rights, he intended to do lt without any regard
to the Supremo Court. District Court or sny
other court,. He wanted so see the Republican
senators hers act as the Republican senators
did in Washington, when a Republican Mayor
and Alderman were elected, and the Democrats
world not give them their offices. Congress
legislated the Republicans into their posi?
tion. If Mr. Pillsbury ?nd his Aldermen,
have been elected, as shown by the highest
number ?of votes, bs wanted them rmi into
office if it required the Governor to d&V6nt tbs
whole force ot the State for that purpose.
It appears that every Republican elected feo
I onie? baa to fight his way into thai o??oe.
t
Hero in Richland they eleeted a Clark of
Court, and be had to KO to the oourts. The L4g
islatare elected a Register ot Meine Conveyance,
and he ie now in court striving to obtain pos?
session otthat omeo. Even Tim. Hnrley has
not neon allowed to take bis position aa Coro?
ner of Charleston County. Mr. Whiting does
all the business of that offiae. I suppose Tim
has been intimidated, and is afraid to apply for
his office. [Laughter from Tim, who waa sit?
ting at the table of a senator,) Perhaps Tim
could not raise five hundred dollars to bring
his case before the Supreme Court, and then it
might take more than that. [Tim, aolto voce,
"My Democratic friends would raise a hun?
dred thousand dollars for me." Groat laughter.]
Nash. I believe we should deal with this
matter at once.
He knew senators on this floor had made np
their minds how they were going to vote on
the bill. Some, he believed, would vote against
it at all hazards. The Senator from Barnwell,
for instance, could not be convinced to any
other course when he has made up his mind
to vote. He would vote every time as he voted
on the drat ballot. Ho knew there was such a
thing as senators opposing any measure t>o
causo presented by a certain other sent ?or.
But, for himself, he would say that if a mea?
sure was presented by even tho most violent
Democrat in Sputh Carolina, if it,was for the
bon o?! t of the people of the State he (the
speaker) would not oppose such a moasure.
This is a mattoe wbieh he believed to be the
life of his party, the Republican party in
Charleston, lt depends upon it.
Ho not only favored tho measure because he
behoved it to be rierht, but-Jto favored it as a
party measure. Ho was. wif&Wg and ready to
meet the issue, and he believ?d all the friends
of the bill were ready to meet it to-day. Let
?B, he said, commence now. "I know and tool
wo are going to spend a day or two in discus?
sion and argument. Thare wilt be, no doubt,
all sort of subterfuge used to prevent the pas?
sage of the act, and tho friends of tho bill maj
have to adopt those moans to keep it from
being deteated. Why not go on ?" He hoped
it would not ba postponed.
Swails. I have to compliment the senator
from Richland. For the last week we have
been discussing a matter very similar to the
motion now before the Senate (motion to post?
pone consideration of bill increasing judges'
salaries). I am glad to eeo that tho senator
(rom Richland h as come over to virtue 'd side.
I am opposed to postponement unless it can be
shown we are not ready to meet the question.
But I believe there is not a senator on this
floor but what has had this matter before him.
They have had tho reports, full reports, in the
newspapers of Charleston, and every man here
has made up his mind how he will vote ou this
bill, and is aB ready to vote on it now as he
will be five days or five months hence. There?
fore, unless the senator from Barnwell can give
mo good reasons for the proposed postpone?
ment, I shall certainly vote against his mo?
tion.
Mr. Corbin. I am exceedingly anxious that
thia matter should bo disposed of at onoe.
People outside as well ab in the donate, have
been very busy in tbis matter. For my own
part, I would like to know to-day, whether th J
Republican party has any existence or not,
nliether tho law is to be enforced, or whether
money influence and big sames are to rule con?
trary to principle, to law, and to justice. I
would like to have that question settled. I do
mot like to be dragged into the merits of the
question until the billie fairly and squarely be?
t?re the Senate. However, it is common on a
motion to postpone, to say whatever one feels
about tlio Dill and about the necessity for its
consideration at onoe. As a reason why it
should be so considered, I would say that lt is
a bill of the greatest importance, lt is. not
tho pecuniary importance of the offices of
Mayor and Aldermen ol' the City of Charleston,
not the mere enjoyment for a day or a season
of those offices. It, is not the mere emoluments
ot the offices, but the heaven-born prin?
ciples of our own constitution und laws. These
lie at the foundation of this matter. And
whenever a vital, matter of our constitution
and lawB comes up, it should command and ar?
rest the attention of every lover of his country,
of law, Order and justice. And those aro the
principies that Late" beeu assailed violently,
shamelessly assailed by a sot of mon, a few
men in the City of Charleston. Will the tiend?
rai Assembly, when such is the fact, allow such
a shameless, tyrannical abuse of position?
I believe not. When such a question arises, the
Senate should act at once, arrest all its labors,
and apply the remedy. These, are my
feelings en the subject. I am ready to show
to the Senate that the bill is wise, just, legal
and right. If: I fail to show any candid man
those things, thea I ask any candid man to
vote against the bill. If I do net show on this
floor that this bill is simply a bill to enforce
the laws of the State as promulgated in the
aets of this General Assembly, then I ask sen?
ators to vote against it. On the other hand, if
I am able to show that it is a vindication
of our aets, of the constitution, a vindicatio?
of ourselves as a political body and represen?
tative government, then vote for it. If I am
not able to show that all these things aro in?
volved and meet in this question, then vote
against the bill. But if I do show them, then,
ia God's name, I ask every man to vote for
this bill.
Mr. Leslie. After the eloquent and affecting
words ot the author of this bill, said in so elo?
quent and appealing a manner, a man must be
very hard-hearted to resist. But I am govern?
ed by what little brains 1 possess instead of
any soft words the smooth, oily tongue cf a
senator may ohoose to indulge in. Had the
senator seen Ut to say that when this bit!
passes Mr. Pillsbury aud his Aldermen will be
Boated in their seats and all business before
the courts stopped, be might, perhaps, have
convinced some of the senators that there was
a pressing necessity for the passage of the bill.
Does the senator believe that the passage of
this bill will seat Mr. Pillsbury or any of his
Aldermen? Does he believe il. If he does not
behove it, why such unseemly haste? unaeomlv
beoause it is tue most important bill presented
in the Senate. I called the attention of sena?
tors to this bill when it was introduced by the
senator from Charleston. He wanted to put it
upon its second reading then and there, and
made just such a speech why it should be read.
Tho ory was of party ; he appealed for the Re?
publican party. That is all in the world in it.
There 1s not a senator upon the floor can show
that if this bill passes Mr. Pillsbury will bo
any nearer his seat than he is to-day. Why
this haste ? I will tell you.
Borne people think whenever they start to do
a thing it should and ought to be done at
onoe. If anybody sees' fit to question their
right, they ride over thom roughshod. I sim?
ply asked him this, morning iu a reasonable,
gentlemanly way who wrote the petition of the
ci tizehs of Charleston he presented. Ho re?
plied in bis iron voice : "That's no ao of your
business." He did not do it after the exact
style ot Forrest or some of the other celebrated
actors, but be did it the best way he could.
He did it purposely.
Now, why did not the senator from Charles?
ton show that Mr. Pillsbury.,will get his seat
If the bill ..passes ? Talk about party in thia
body, rou cannot do it here. The senators
are governed by reason. Show to them that
Mr. Pillsbury will get his seat by the passage
of the bill and it will be carried, I am oppos?
ed to this bill, beoause it will not give Mr.
Pillsbury his seat; but if any one says 1 am op?
posed to any measure that will bring this mat?
ter te a speedy and final settlement, he states
wi at he is not authorized to state. I do not
believe t he laws of South Carolina should be
defied. There ls a law upon the statute book
that makes it a high crime for any man hold?
ing office under the provisional government to
continue to hold that office after it has boen
demanded, of him by: a newly eleoted officer.
The senator from Charleston would make this
Senate believe that wo bad not enacted anv
laws in the aast, and that no action could
be taken until this bul was passed.
The senator from Charleston repotted the
bill at the last session, whioh'became an act,
an? made it a penal offence Ipr Mr. Clark to
Wold office one day against Mr. Pillsbury. Why
is not that act enforced ? Whop you get this
bill, how mach better off will the case be for
Mr. Pillsbury? He (the senator) does not at?
tempt to tell us. He comes in hero and wants
to make us vote for it, and if we do not, they
propose wo should g > home and die. When he
Shows me it ii a reasonable bill, that it will ac?
complish the purposes intended, I will vote for
lt. But I challenge the senator from Richland,
the senator from Charleston, or the senator
from Greenville, to show that Mr. ' Pillsbury
can get his seat by the passage of thin bill. I
am not opposed to the legitimate expression of
tho will of the people of Charleston being heard
in this elect ton. If soy thinks SO they are mis?
taken. 1 have tried for . the last two or three
dayeto obtain tho military order appointing
Mr. Clark to office,, [H?re the speaker read
the order, j
j NoW, I have Mtfun about this business and 1
t?rok my platt better than this bil). I think it
can be-matured to A short time. I har* stated
ii io several within tho last few days. Now, I
say that yon can legislate Mr. Pillsbury in, but
if you don't legislate Slr. Clark out you don't
give Mr. Pillsbury his Boat. Mr. Clark defies
you. It is said an amendment will bo made to
the bill in tbe simpo of an ejectment olause. If
I was a lawyer and disposed togo to law, and I
was aatiBfled that my client and his friends
had any money to spend, I would bo perfectly
willing and thank God if thia.bill passed. If I
did not havj law fer tho next five years, it
would simply be because I did not want it. You
may pass this law with an ejectment claus-),
but how easy it is to obtain an order from the
Circuit Ceurt restraining -the sheriff and his
deputies from intermeddling- ia any manner
with Mr. Clark. and bis Aldermeu until the
question bo determined in t ho courts. THO
mattor comos up before Judge Carpenter. If
he decides in favor of Mr. Pillsbury, an appeal
to the Supreme Court is forthwith taken. If
you want to reach thid question at once, re?
voke the ot dor appoin tins Mr. Clark. I ask for
five days' time. I believe this whole matter
can be compromised. I want to see the will
of the people of Charleston raspee ed. I wi?
derstand tho objection is not to Pi?sbnry, but
to some four or five of the aldermen. By re?
voking; General Canby's order, wo declare the
office vacant. If wo do this, we take Mr.?Clark
out of his office, and no man will take his name
to any paper after he has been legislated out
of office.
Rainey. Do we not legislate Colonel dillard
into office ? Will he not claim it under the
law Authorizing him to hold over until his suc?
cessor has qualified ?
Mr. Leslie. Mr. Gaillard, by this military
order, was absolutely removed. Legislate Mr.
Clark out and ftlr. Pillsbury takes bis seat.
Cain. Colonel Gaillard is disqualified by tho
Fourteenth amendment.
Rainey. I am in favor of having the bill
postponed if a bill more effective in its nature
ean be malurod. If there is any bill that has
boen brought before this body which I regret,
it is this bdl to validate the election in the
City of Charleston. I have considered that the
course the hill is now pursuing before the
courts is t'-io proper one.
Mr. Corbin. I will say to the senator from
Georgetown, that there, is no caso now before
the courts, and that statement in tho remon?
strance of the ci tizona of Charleston against
the bill is falso, absolutely false.
. Mr. Hamey. If there is no case before the
courts, I would like to ask tho senator if all
possible means for- the decision of tbis ques?
tion by the Judiciary department has been
exhausted.
Mr. Corbin. They have not been exhausted,
and the majority report shows why they have
not been exhausted.
Cam hoped the Senate would not have been
troubled with this grave question. After the
lona:, wearisome trials through which it had
passed, it was to bo hoped that the decision of
the courts would be final, and that department
of the government-the legitimate part for set
hug such questions-would havjbeeu reserved
iu tho discussion of this whoio oase, or else
another method would hare beet? adopted, that
is, to refer this back to tho people.
lloro tho speaker commenced to discuss the
merita of the bid, when he was called to order
and look his seat, saying thai/ when the bill
came up he would be ready to meet them at
Philippi.
Maxwell. I was opposed to the postpone?
ment of this bill. I do not like to say anything
that would wound the feelings of any member
of the General Assembly of the State of South
Carolina. But I do say emphatically that I re?
gard the postponement a virtual defeat of the
bill. I know there are four thousand dollars
in eiraulation for the defeat of this measure.
My eyes have seen it. I know parties have been
on the floor of this Senate, parties opposed to
the bill in every shape, manner 2 ad form, and
have been endeavoring to coeala members of
the Senate to their will. I say it nthout fear of
successful contradiction. I am in favor of the
passage of the bill or of the passage of any
other bill, the purport of which is to seat Mr.
Pillsbury and tho Aldermen elect in office. I
am in favor of putting Mr. Pillsbury in if we
have to do it wit h the whole powe^of the State,
or with tho pQiafc of U*e ba.j oaot. "*1 aok, if the
will of the people of Charleston is to be disre?
garded. I hope wo shall have no clique or
8arty movement here by which we shah erase
?ie name of any man from the bill. If the
senator from Barnwell will pledge himself to
support the bill when it comes up, I will agree
to the postponement for the purpose of per?
fecting the measure. .
Nash followed in reply.
The question was finally taken on postponing
the bill, and was unanimously deoided in the
affirmative with an agr?ment that there would
be no filibustering when the bill comes up for
consideration.
The consideration of 'tho bill was then post?
poned to Tuesday, February 9th, at 1 P. M.
Mr. Neagle introduced the following resolu?
tion, which was adopted :
Whereas, The State endorsed bonds of the
South Carolina Railroad Company to tho

effecle on the weak and feeble. The drafts which
searching cold makes upon the vital powers of the
debilitated and delicate are not less severe than the
drain upon their strength caused by excessive heat.
The vast diapir!ty bstween the temperature of
over-heated rooms and offices, at thia season, and
the frigidity of the outer air is a fruitful source of
sickness. To fortify the body against the evil
consequences of the sudden alternations of heat
and cold referred to, the vital organization should
be strengthened and endowed with extra resistant
pewer by the use of a wholesome in vigoran t ; and, of
all pieparations for this purpose (whether embraced
in the regular pharmacopoeia, or advertised in the
publie Journals), there is none that wiU compare
in purity and < xe ellene o with HO s TETTER'S
K l OMACH BITTERS. Acting directly upon the
organ which converts the food into the fuel of lifo,
the preparation Imparts to it a tone and vigor which
is communicated to every fibre of tho frame. The
digestive fonction being accelerated by its tonio
operation, the liver regulated by its anti-bilious
I i>reperties, and the waste matter of the system car?
ri** off punctually by its mild aperient action, the.
' whole organization will necessarily be in the best
possible condition to meet the shooks of winter and
the sudden changes of temperature. The weak and
sensitive, esp dally, cannot encounter these vicissi?
tudes with safety, unless their fonder system* are
strengthened and braced by artificial means. Every
liquor sold as a staple ot trade is adulterated, and,
were lt otherwise, m ir J ...cohol is simply a tempo?
rary excitant, which, when its first effects have sub?
sided, leaves the phyV. ul powers (and the mind Se
well), lb. a worso condltlea than before. HOSTET -
