It was found that a man was driving at a forions pace to get his horses and wagon across the track before the engine reached the crossing. Tbe engineer did his best to stop the train, bat it was too late, and tho cow? catcher struck just between the wagon and the ^horses, separating thom instanter, and consigning each to a place on opposite' sides of the track, little or none the worse for the colusi?n. The man and his wife, (each about sixty-five) were caught on tho platform above the cowcatcher, and just in front pf the engine. Instead of loosing presence of mind and jumping off, they settled them? selves composedly as though nothing hud happened; the old lady put her hands in bet muff, while the old man, with one hand extend? ed, as if grasping tho reins, and the whip raised in tho other, assumed a jockey attitude, and thus tho old couple rodo up to the station 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 wagon. The horses were uninjured, and the damages to the wagon were trifling.

The Proposition to Vacate tl?c Municipal Hences by Repealing th? Bill ConiSnn lnK tLe Military Appointees-Stormy Debate on Thursday upon Corbin's DUI-Speeche J of Maali, Lie elie, Cain, Corbin and ot bera. [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 amount $2,093,312 40, which became due in 1868, and this House is not informed of tho payment of said bonds and the interest there? on: and whereas the State is secured in said endorsements by a first mortgage lien on the road ot said company; therefore, be it Jtesoloei, That his Excellency the Governor be requested to inform the House if the inter? est and principal of said bonds have been paid; and if not, what amount of interest is past due, and what legislation he deem necessary to necore the interest of the State. A Sonato .bill to ratify, confirm and amend the charter of the Charleston, South Carolina, Minim? and Manufacturing Company was taken up tor a second reading. On motion of Mr. Tomlinson, the bill was amended by inserting the following as sec? tion six: SECTION 6. This act shall not be considered of force until three hundred thousand dollars of the capital stock of said company shall have been paid in gold, silver or United States Treasury notes, and an oath or affirmation thereof shall be made by the president, treasu? rer and a majority of the board of directors, which shall be recorded in the office of the Secretary of State. The bill was read the second time and order? ed to bo engrossed for a third leading. AEFAJMS IN TUB S TAT JE. Ooonee. Robert A.

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.
