C., February 8.-On Mondays neither branch of the General Assembly usual? ly bas a very full or punctual attendance of members. The result is that tho proceeding on that day aro not often of the Buncombe order, and those who work more and talk less bavo better opportunities of doing something to complete tho legislation necessary at tho present session. To-day, however, the condi? tion or affairs in tho House was SDmowhat re? versed. Tho members were promptly in their seats,, and almost tho entire day was Biwnt in tho discussion of tho bill to establish a board of land commissioners. There is considerable diversity of opiuion in roforenco to tho persons to bo selected to carry out tho object propos? ed.

Pending the consideration of a motion by DoLarge, to indefinitely postpone tho above substitute, the House adjourned" at 4:30 P. M. Another attempt was inado in the House to fix the time of adjournment. Sasportas introduced tho following resolu? tions, which, on motion of Ransier, was laid on tho table : Whereas, Wo believe that it is to tho best interest of tho State, os well as to its tax-pay ing oitizeus, that we Bhonl? adjourn as soon as it is practicable ; therefore, be it Resolved, That we deprocato the filibus? tering, thereby detaining this House, which ' has been practiced in tho pant, and will do all hi our power to prevent it in tho future.

The Senate was engaged to-day mostly in tho second reading and consideration of the bill to establish and maintain a system of pub? lic schools for tho ?State of South Carolina. The bill, wh'ch is an elaborate one, has been prepaied with such care and attention by Sen? ator Jillson, Superintendent of Education, that tho various sections and articles were adopted without discussion, and with but two or three slight amendments.

As your paper is very extensively road by a class ofpersous in this county who aro so much prejudiced against tho existing institutions in this State as to refuse to register their names and tho number of their children, 1 deem it expedient to state through your oolumns that section five of act ten of the constitution, and third clause of the proviso, declares that "the school tax shall be distributed among the sev? eral school districts of the Stato in proportion to the respective number of pupils attending the publio schools." By the act of September 15,1868, the number of children, as well as the number of children attending schools, is re? quired to be reported as the basis tor the divis? ion of the school tax of 1868. This tax is about to be collected, and will be available for scholastic purposes in tho sum of $150,000 on or before tho first day. of Novombor of tho cur? rent year, at whioh time, probably, the schools will opon. Probably, separate schools will bc established tor colored and. white children whero their respective numbers will warrant ' it, and prob? bl.., too, the sohool money given to each county will bo expended for the im? provement of boib colored and white children in proportion to ibo respective numbers of each. Aa tho offiot il registration will bo the criterion of such expenditure, all will at once see the impolicy of thete who, under the cir? cumstances and regardless of tho scholastic welfare of tho children of their poor tuhtle neighbors, refuse to regtsier.

Tho annual meeting ol the stockholders ot the Bouth Carolina Railroad Oouipauy was held yesterday in the hall of tho Southwest? ern Railroad Bank. The meeting was called to order by W. J. Magrath, Esq., tho Prosident of tho Company, who moved that tho Hon. Wilmot G. DeSaus suro take thc chair. This motion was carried, and Mr. DeSauBsuro declared tho meeting ready for business. Tue minutes of tho auuual meeting of 1868 wore road by the Secretary. t Major Gavin wanted to know what had be? come of tho report of the names and salaries of tho employees of the company, ordered to be famished tho stockholders by tho directors. He said thoro wore some bamaclos on tho road that ought to bo swept away. He did not soe why the stockholders should not see who got this money, and what it was got for. This very inquiry had boon choked off boforo, and be did not want to see it stifled again. Mr. Cochran read tho following report of the Southwestern Railroad Bank : To the Stockholders of the South Carolina Railroad Oompetny : Na change has taken place in thc affairs of tho bank sinco your hst meeting. The various suits then reported have not progressed sufficiently to enable me to report their result. Tho exponsos of tho bank have been re? duced as low as practicable. Having for nearly thirty years oujoyed tho coufidsnco of this groat company, whilst de? clining re-election, I cannot take leave without expressing my grateful recollections of their uniform confidence and unabated kindness, aud my recording my firm belief in tho abiding ?lower of our vadroad to assist materially the ortunes of om* city and Stale. Respectfully submitted, JAMES ROSE, President. Mr. Cochran Baid that Mr. Rose positively declined re-election. The reports of tho President and Superin? tendent of tho railroad were thon read by the Secretary, and on motion, referred to tho fol? lowing committeo with instructions, to report as carly as possible: Messrs. Jamos T. Wols man, A. O. Andrews, J. H. Honour, Gabriel Cannon and James McRae. Tho President informed the meeting that the report of tho names,'wages an? occupations of all perpons employed by the company, called for at the last meeting, was upon the table for the information of the stockholders. Major Gavin wanted to know wby that report had not been printed. He should like to know where the money wont and what the barnacles were. He could not learn anything by looking at the report. Ho wanted to have it at home and study it over. Major Gavin then offered a resolution to the effect that tho report of the President contain? ing tho names and salaries of all officers and agents of the company be immediately pub? lished, and that hereafter that portion of thc report be appended each year to the r?gulai annual report. ? . Alonao J. White, ;B,*rj* ppposed Major u av In's inotioa tb print j-ho report, pivke?onnt .?J l?h*4ee*??j?*^ tho worlc tho minor details of the expenses of the com? pany. If tho stockholders wished to guare against useless expenditure, they shouU chcoso proper directors. He thought they ha< a good board now. If not, they should b< changed. If the mover of the resolution want ed auy of the information which tho resolutioi socmed designed to seek, it was on the tabl and any stockholder could read it for himsoli or if desired the Secretary could road it for th benefit of the meeting. Major Gavin replied that bo oould soe n harm in tho publication. Unless there wa something wrong there would be no opposition to the publication. A man who had been dit missed from the employ of tho road carno t him for a certificate that he had not fui nished him with the information which h had used at the last meeting of stockholi ern. He could not get back on the road will out such a certificate. That satisfied him thc the officers of tho road were in league for dil honest purposes, and he wanted tho thin shown up. Colonel Richard Yeadon opposed thc resoh lion on the ground that no good was to be ai complished by it, and be movod to lay the re? olution on tho table, but withdrew it to abo Major Gavin to speak. Major Gavin repeated his former argument! aud said that the report on tho table was 1: uso to him; ho wanted it at homo to study. Hon. Gabriel Cannon, of Spartanbnrg, o] posed the resolution, and Colonel Yeadon r newed II?B motion to lay on the table, whic was carried almost unanimously. James G. Holmes, Esq., offered the followir resolution, which was adopted : Resolved, That it be referred to tho commi tee to which tho report of tho President ar Directors of the South Carolina Railroad Con pany has been referred, to examine and cona der tho expediency of reporting a plan for tl arrangement of tho debt so as to insure i payment at a givon time by a semi-annual a propriation of a uniform sum, applicable the payment of both principal and interest. In supporting tho resolution, he said th from the report of tho directors of the railroi it appeared that they had not only paid tho i tereet of seven per cent, on the actual indel edues3 of tho company, but they had also ma a reduotion of the debt itself. The same i coipta that accomplished this end could made to pay a small dividend and also a eui clent interest on the debt to extinguish it thirty years. He bad agitated a scheme I tb i a purpose in 1857, and if it bad been ado) ed then the debt now would have boen mn less. Hon. Geo. A. Tr crib ol m did not object to I resolution, but suggested for tho inform?t! of the stockholders that tho plan propos had citen been tried in. Europe, and thou gjod in theory had never been found prac cable. Mr. Holmes replied that he had often b< opposed by Mr. Trenholm on this same si jeot before, but although ho said tho sobe was impracticable, ho had applied it to t debt of the City of Charleston before tho w amounting to (1,000,000, and that Mr. Mc minger had applied it to a Confederate debi $100,000,000. Tho City Co unod had in torfe unnecessarily with the Boheme, and the C federate Government had boen compelled abandon it, but ba both cases, as long as herod to, it waa both practical and success Mr. Magrath suggested that Mr. Charles Forman bad been in Europo for seven mon? to arrange tbo debt cf tbe company, and report stated that a plan for tbat purpose ) been decided upon. Mr. Holmes replied that the two plans n not interfere. Alter some farther debato by Messrs. Ti holm, Holmes and Lawton, the resolution 1 adopted. 1ST. Boston Clarkson mored that a corni tee of three be appointed to whom should referred the report of the President and Db tora of the South woe torn Railroad Bat?, which was agreed to. Mr. Holmes called attention to th??&c-t that tho only thing in tho report which jffequired action was the expression of an intention on the part of lue President, Jitmos Ro||, Esq., to resign, and that a proper expressifs? of tho teoliugs of the stockholders on tb.it) &3casion should bo mado.

A. H. Stephous: ffi When I entered he was engaged invoking over the papers which had aravod bVy mail a few minutos before, but kindly untere1, into a very pleasing conversation with me 'ithout delny.

He stated that be had seen thtHgrticie, and would crant my request only on ccytluiti m that I would give his romarks in his own word?. I then took down in short haigas ho Bpoke, the following: "I have a great repugnance to haying my namo brought betoro tho publie in eue!; a con? nection, ovon in correction of the map* mis? representations which I almost daily-^foe in the papers ; yet 1 assure you that what Mr. Pollard in this article says, is without thi least foundation whatever, and his informattoiiv from whatever source derivod, is entirely moc?Tect. I was here, at my own home in UratyfoEtlviile, at the time referred to. Mr. Davis qgft not pass nearer to Crawfordville than Ra^own, some eight or nine miles distant, and I did not kuow that he was passing through that pert of tho State until some time afterwards. ?Gris woldville,' spoken of in tue article of Mr. Pol? lard, is at least sixty or seventy miles from my residence.

I asked Mr. Stephens what ho thought would be the course of General Grant as Presi? dent; and whilo he says but little upon p-tjjlic matters, his reply was as follows: "AU tho country wants ia good government. For Gene? ral Grant personally I entertain tho highest esteem. Frons the first ti rac I first sst h?ur? at City Point in 1865, I have regarded, audj.f&i)l regard him aa ono of the moat remarkable men I have over met.

X ?lo ^"^ffHf* "he easily inliuonced-^^ fess TfiM,?-1wVr ?B^pritaav :?c wSH itevrroth the dictates m ib own judgment, and what he believes to bo tho line of his duty. I regard him as a man of great gen rosity and magnanimity-neither selfish nor ambitious; and I believe he meant all that the words import when he said 'Let us have Peace.' General Grant, however, no more than any other man, can have all things as ho might desire. Tho future of this coun? try, thereiore, is still enveloped in great un? certainty. All tho patriot at tho South can do is to bear in patience the present, exercise a generous conndenoe, and look hopefully for Time's development." Of THE OOUNTOY, be said. "With good government, there is much ot 'life in the old land yet.' " He here referred to a paper recently furnished from the Agricultural Bureau at Washington, which gives the products and the great staples of the couutry, Indian corn and cotton, during tho year 1868, and proceded: "From this it ap Soars that in all of the States cast of tho Paci o slopo, the entire product of cjrn (iras nine hundred millions bushels. Of this, moro than one-half, to wit : fivo hundred and nine mil? lions in round numbers, was produced in the thirteen Southern States: while the cotton crop, estimated at two million three hundred thousand bales, grown entirely in these Stages, at an averago market price, would amour.t to upwards of two huudred and Atty millions of dollars, which will lae more than one-haL' the foreign exports from, the entire country. These figures in themselves exhibit what vital ener? gies we possess, if properly directed under good government." ?KOBO LABOR.. Mr. Stephens still retains all his former ser? vants, both on the lot in town and on the old homestead, none of whom show auy dispo? sition to leave him. Harry Stephens, who bore his master's name long before emancipa? tion, and Ailed his present place while Mr. Stephens waa in Congress, is Btill the Major Domo at Liberty Hall. He is steward, butler, and female manager of the premises. His wife and children, some of whom are nearly grown, constitute the other domestics of tho establishment. . At tho plantation, about two miles distant, all his former servants still remain, and culti? vate the laud in parcels, as tenants. In Mr. Stephens' own words, "thay pay one-fourth of thc products as rent. They work as weil and as faithfully as ever, but 1 do not think that, upon an average, tho product of their labor ls above one-fourth of what it formerly was, wh ?oh I attribute to the want of proper skill in agri? culture and tho general management of ?a form." ! -? I. - il ?- j A BLAST FKOM A PBOTESTANT BISHOP.- Tlje Right Rev. A. Cleveland Coxe, Protestait Episcopal Bishop of the Diocese of Western New York, has issuad a pastoral address, in the coarse of which he says : "The enormities <jf theatrical exhibitions, and the lasciviousness of dances too commonly tolerated in our ti mea, are there so specially pointed oat as disgrace? ful to the age ana irreconcilable with tte Gospel of Christ, that I felt it my duty to tim souls of my flock to warn those who ran wits the world *fco the same excess of riot' in those thjngs, that they presume not to como to tm holy table.

VONJU a AL, TI ITS. [From tue l.ond( n Eoviow.] Tho wonderful tr?ala of temper imposed by matrimony can soiree ever bo known toan out? sider. Tho provocative power of a woman, which is naturally considerable, become many degroea intensified by marriage. First of all, the intimacy of that modo of lifo renders her thoron? lily acquainted with all tho weak points of her lord. She knows exactly where to hurt lum most severely, and Whore to touch a raw place hidden from tho rest of tho world. Inore ia no doubt that when Xantippe pitched crockery at tho sconce of her husband, abo accompanied tho missiles with jeera at tho poor main's doctrine, ?lilton, it ia said, Buffered horribly from tho tongue of Ilia liJpiuato, and we can imagine her, not only hiding his po.i and inU, but making fun of bis verses. But these aro historical caaos, whore the battles were of chromo occurrence. In real lire, people when mai ried io not altogether bark and bite. There tue intervals ol' reposo when tho atmoapliero ia clear and tho ann shines ; or, as it may happen, tho storms aro exceptional and the aqualla com? para Li v el y raro. Off-hand onicou ti te ra froque 110 y tend to postpone moro serious conclusions, and tho little domestic skirmishes common to tho matrimonial state act as safety-valves of energy, which might, under etrict confinement, burst into a diaaatrous explosion. There aronumboia of women who would bo quit : uncomfortable if they had not small quarrels with their htia bands. The Bmooth und oven tenor of every? day oxistenco ?B broken up into a picturesque variety by these passages. Husbands (espe? cially when new to their happiness) are ofton puzzled to know what mnkes tho angel cross, and, to U80 an expressive term, cantankerous. They ask the canso, but they aro fenced oil un? til a chanco occuia for treading on their corns, und then tho shindy commences in real earn? est. A. lady of this delightful complexion ia completely happy if alie can wind up with a Rood cry. Tho dear creature diasolvea into lears, aud the man feels himself at once a brute. Thia ia her roveuge. There is nothing now tor the husband but absolute submission md a full acknowledgment of bia being in tho wrong. A woman h ii a lost her ground forever tvho fails in her object when sho haa recourse to ber pocket-handkerchief, and to a display of swollen eyes and a red hose. Few, however, ire srumd enough to play this oard until their ulvorsary bocomea disgusted with thc trick; it la generally kept back until tho right timo, and :hen used with a vengeance. The fascinating hypocrisy of tho sox ia shown iu nothing with such graco as in tho periods which immediately ensue after a tiff. To tho visitor or tho casual diner there is no ndication whatever ot tho disturbance. If a symptom ia shown at all it is by the husband, ?vho has not the samo faculty as his who of smoothing hts loathers when ruffled. Of course .his ia only in good society. Among other slassoa it ianot so simple a thing to dispose of he visible tokens of a matrimonial sparring natch. There aro such things as black oyca ind scratched faces. Yet it may happen that .hoso of a higher sphcio suffer just as bad muishmont as the loss polished combatants, [uward bleeding is moro dangeroua than an -pen wound. It is a fact that all tiffs ?ontain the possibilities of offencoa which san never be forgivon. A wild, vicious word nay stick and ranLIo in a woman's heart forever. Such vord was applied, for instance, jy Mr. Johnaman Wild to the lady who visited rim in trouble; and it is bolieved she bung lim for it. A man who studios the disposition if his wiio tor the aako of his own p?aeo must DC cautious to mark tho foibles of temper, lor ,he beat of wives have curium weaknesses in -his respect, which it would be unfair and rather uncomfortable to ignoro. If they would july discover them to us before marriage 1 But that is not the custom. Such frankness ivouid be almost fatal to tho institution which .mids communities together. Bosides, after ill, women with t?mpora aro much moro tolo -??.hbv t.trwa Woinw without. They postions btfC? itCiion aud spirit, while the tame, equable colorless creature has neither. A landscape scon in perpetual sunshine or moonshine would be dull; it ia a relief to BOC it from time to time stirred by thc wind or in tho light of i flushed and angry sunset. Is this tho rea? son why poets so often marry ahrews? It is probable tint a lady who becomes conscious .hat her husband is analyzing her would, out )f sheer spite, give him something to speou ato upon of a hard and practical description; mo would cross his rom antic vision on a broom? stick, or, worse again, flit over his brain with a poker. Albert Durer was, it is thought, bless 3d in this fashion. Vulgar men aro not ex? empt fiom similar benedictions in disguise. Ifet they conceal their favors heroically. The iivorce court lets us into the many secrets; mt there are thousands of profounder secrets mknown to that useful establishment. Tiffs ire nob sufficient causes for separation, al? though they may lead to tho most plenary rea? rons for parting. We should think that in most instances when hey do, the fault te with the husband. Mar .iage is a science, or, rather, a Ano art. There s scarcely any woman who could not be re luced, by a good system and discipline, to an unendurable line of conduct. Whether every vornan would be worth the trouble of such a raining is quito another question; but, un loubteuly, to the mon who is married, there is io moro important task to take in hand. It ?equires judgment, coolness and just a httle ilever cruelty. The slightest sign of weak ?ess (and bullying, mind, is a vulgar admission if incapacity) will spoil tho entire operation, toughness of any kind is, indeed, most unde lirable, and is only the weapon of clumsy rc ormcrs. Mild irony and s?tiro, with the ohill ?ff. is much more effectual. Petruchio laid lown an excellent programme for Raryizing late, where bdfeaid : "I will attend her here And woo her with some spirit when she comes. Say that sha rail ; why then I'll tell her plain She ninga as sweetly as a nightingale, Say that she frown ; I'll say she Kooka aa clear As morning rosea newly washed with dew. Say she will be mute and will not speak a word. 'Ihen I'll commend ber vom .ditty, And say she utters piercing eloquence." Petruchio was a genuine woman-tamer, who tsed his art not unkindly. Of course, there are ncorrigibles, whose husbands havo noalter lative but a study of the Book ot Job, and a trong faith in compensative immortality. With hem theie is no rest. When we read in the Hipers of brutal violence towards wives, we are iften too sentimental in condemning the hus >and. We may not take into account the un learable provocation to which he is often sub eeted. A story is told of an actor who had to epeat Tobin'? celebrated claptrap, "Tho man rho lays his hand upon a woman, save", &o. It incurred to him at the moment that ho had shacked his wife about half an hour previous y, in the presence of the green-room, and so, n order not to appear inconsistent, he altered he text thus: "Thc man who lays his hand ipou a woman, save when she deser/es it," ko. ? o should be sorry to allow this freedom with o noble a modern toast, but, unquestionably, here ore times when its literal interpretation aust seem unjust to . laborers whose wives -awn tho children's clothed and waste the coney in dc?nk. luto this branch of the subject, however, it 3 not oar intention lo enter. Disputes De? neen man and wife, in which the smoothing ton and the dishes are employed as arguments, re beyond the cooler region of tiffs. It is /ell when the tiff only rosombles a lover's [uarrel. and is established, perhaps, by the idy, fot* the express purpose of a delightful iaking-up. Ou Buch occasions a good hus and is expected to show bis appreciation of bo luxurious miner y he has gone through by a ox at tho opera or a new dress.
