[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, February 13.-Thero bas been littlo or no debate of any groat public interest, hi either branch, for tbo last two days. Tho Senate commenced its two sessions a dav on Friday and disposed of a large amount of bu iness on the calender. Some six or eight bills, the titles of which have boen, already tele graphed to THE NEWS, received their third reading, passed, and were ordered to bo sent to the House. On the question being taken yeatotday of agrooing to tho passage of the bill to confirm and declare valid the recent election of Mayor and Aldermen oi tho City of Charleston, S. C., Wimbusb called for the yeas and nays, which were taken and resulted as follows : Yeas-Messrs.

So tbo bill passed, aild was 'oidered to bo sent to the House ol'Representatives. IN THE HOUSE, to-day, Brown of Charleston, introduced a resolution instructing-the Com mittee on Privileges and Elections, and tho Judicial.v Committee, to report by Tuesday upon the bill to confirm and declare valid tho recent eleouon for Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Charleston. DeLargo said : I hope the resolution will be referred. This is one of the most important bills ever introduced into this Legislature, and the committee require timo to examine it. This bill will stablish a precedent, and wheth er tho result will be tor arood or evil, I will oot now say; but I am opposed to establishing pre cedents without duo thought and considera tion, widen some evince a disposition not to have dono, but desire only to basten this re port. In connection with that subject, I would remark that there is not only the law to be considered, but also' tho best interests of the community of Charleston. I will notassent to have the committee put under the lash of the whip to make their report. I know tho major ity of tho committee aro in favor of the bill on the same grounds upon which that honest, that intelligent, that pure, that smart, that zealous, tb at able, that wise, and that learned attorney defended the measure in anothcrejkanoh of thi % CiT.neral Assembly. Whilst I admit tilt! vight if tlihft^jM|fto introduce ' w iirmi 'sflBKM righi- (So give my opinion ajf*re TS feasibility of tbe committee miking report upon a subject of such great and grave importance without due consideration ol tbe law in all its bearings. There can bo nothing lost in giving tho commit tee time to thoroughly consider it, as it is something of great and vital importance. I am not hero new to say whether I am in favor of or againBt the bill. I shall decide that ques tion myself, and when it comes up, if I am here I shall defend or oppose it, aa my judg ment dictates. Elliott ul BO favored the reference, and thought the adoption of tho resolution of instruction was unnecessary, as tho committee would givotho subject their most earnest con sideration, and report in duo time. The resolution, on motion of Feriter, was re ferred to tho Committee on the Judiciary. Mr. Corbin introduced in tho senate on Fri day, a bili to prevent and punish bribery and corruption, the first section of which pro scribes a penalty of lmprisonmant in the peni tentiary not exceeding five years, or a fine ot three thousand dollars and imprisonment in jail not exceeding one year, to any ono who at tempts to bribe any executive, legislative or judicial offi er. A motion, to print brought out some opposition. Rev. it. H. Cam nair!, bia greatest objection to the bill was, that ho was afraid if the bill passod the Repu blica.i party in South Carolina goes down. Mr. Corbin wished to know which wing of it. Cain-The. whim wing; the ono of which I spoke of tho other day as monopolizing all tho offices. Mr. Corbin 6aid,in bis young days housed to po huuMfjg especially after ducs.s and partridges. When ho shot into a flock he could always toll which ene was shot bj tho flutter ing. If anybody was hit hero ho thought it would bo tho pait of modesty and good judg ment not to flutter on this oco;sion. Tho act cannot bo introspectivo at all. It can only punish lui uro offences, boneo gentlemen-may compose their Fouls in peace. There was no danger to any one here, none whatever. Ho boped tho bill would be printed. The bill was ordered to be pr i dod. The petitions of Isaac Wickliffe, of Oconoe, and E. H. tir.inn, J. R. Gossett and J. B. Reid, of Pickons, praying the Legislature to r..'com mend tho removal of their political disabilities, were presonted and referred. The bill to aid the construction of the Pori Royal Railroad came up in the Senate Friday rjnder upeoi l order tera. Ficcand reading. Mr. Corbin asked the friends of the bill for some explanation. Ic appoared to him, ho said, to be ajrreat swindle. This aroused the tamper of Wright, of Beau fort, who introduced tue bill, and is usually one of tho moat cool and able debaters in the Senate. He made a somewhat excited reply, saying tho only reason the sena.or from Cnarleston opposed it wau because ho came from Charleston.* Htrshowed that capitalists had taken the deepest interest m tue construc ' tion of this road.

On motion of Mr. Jillson, tho resolution was referred to tbe Committee on Railroads, with mst ructions to report as oar y as practicable, with their recommendation on tbe enbjoct matter. Tho Mooso returned to the Senate a bill to incorporate tho Lako Swamp Navigation Com pany, of Hon y County. The title ol tho bill waa ohanged to that of an act, a d ord. red to bs Lrohud.

Interview of thc Congressional Commit? tee with Hie President elect-General Grant's Speech- Ile announces his Pol? icy- Economy, Kctreucnnicut, the Kui in f?l Collection of thc Kcvcnuc, and thc Payment of thc Pnhlic Dcht Unfaithful Oihcials to Walk thc Plank. Senator Morion, with Representatives Jas. F. ^Valsoll and J. V. L. Pruyn, the Joint Com? mittee appointed by tho House and Sonato to wait upon General Giant ami notify him of his election as President of tho United States, dis? charged the duty assigned to thom on Satur? day morning. Senator Morion, in a few remarks, assured tho General that his election was extremely gratifying to his countrymen, and that the peoplo felt assured ho would, in exorcising the tlutios of his distinguished office, apply tho ?aino ouergy, integrity, and patriotism that had characterized him in a former sphere of usefulness ; and in concluding his remarks, ?aid that he would have the support of the people of the nation-ovon including those who littered politically from him-in administering tho all* i irs of tho government. GENERAL QUANT'S POLICY. General Grant, rocoiving from Senato^Jor- | :on tho certificate of his election, announced, imidst intense oxcitoment on tho part of the low- geivUemin who wor0 4!>ro30!rf., ;aod- iir^'*' Inn, audible voice, substantially, that in ac 3Gptiug the office of President of tho United States, he assured them of his determination to carry out faithfully the obligations ai that Dffico, and referred particularly to tho necessi? ties for an honest and faithful discharge ot the revenue laws. He would call around him mon who would oarnestly carry out the principles of economy, retrenchment and honesty, which were desired by the people of tho country. It ho, did not succeed in tins, at lirst ho would not hesitate to make a seco id or oven a third trial, and until he found those who would prove entirely satisfactory. Should tho off?c?rs of tho different branches of tho government servicefnot satisfy him in tho discharge of their official duty, ho would not hesitate a moment about removing them, and would do so just as quickly with his own appointments as with those of his predecessor. General Grant stated that ho had not an? nounced his Cabinet up to tho timo of tho offi? cial declaration of tho result of the election, but had intended al that period to make known tho names of thoso whom ho would invito to becomo members. In tho interval, however, he had concluded not to make known tho names of tho gentlemen whose servicos ho would be glad to havo in this respect even to the gentlemen themselves, until he sent them into tho Senate for confirmation. Tue reason for this determination, General Grant said, was because of tho tact that should ho do so, a pressnro would immediately commence from various parties, to endeavor to induce him to chango his determination, not eo much probably from tho fact thar, tho opposition would bo m ado from personal motives, but on ace,.nut of the interest which thc gentlemen may have for their owu friends. For thoso and other reasons, ho had concluded to m ak . no public announcement ot'his Cabinet until tho time moutioued. General ("rant spoke without any reservo, and with tho groatest frankness and courtesy; and his remarks were received by his dis? tinguished visitors with every mark of interest and approbation. DEMOOBATIC OO-OPitftATTON PROMISED. Afterward, Mr. Pruyn, of tho committee, ad? dressed tho Genoral very briefly, to tho effect that while the party with which he was identi? fied differed politically from tho President elect, ho desired to assure him that his admin? istration, in carrying out tho principles whiob ho had montionod, would havo thoir hoarty support and co-operation. Tho speeches wore delivered moro in a con? versational tone than in a formal sot mannor, and tho occasion was ono of quiet, though most intonso interest. Tho mombo rs of tho staff of Genor^l Grant woro prosont. About twenty goutlemon wero pres mt altogothor, inoluding tho committ o and staff offiuors. SPEAHEil 0JLP\X ACCEPTS.

A Proposed Plan to Prevent Zts Hsvsgei. TO TBE EDITOR OF THE ^EWd. lt waa stated in a volume published during the war, that it had boen observed that hemp cultivated as a border plant in garden s would prevent the attacks of caterpillar*, insects, Ac. This plant sown along with^ cotton altor- ! natoly, or in the furrows, may [keep off tho caterpillar from our fields. It n ay thus also bo a source of profit. The writer, from a recent consideration of the subject, would suggest also the planting with oottou tho seeds of two or breo of the plants Which yield an aromatic or fetid odor, or which gives out an emanation hos/ile to insects. These aro the wild chamomilo or May weed, the milfoil or yarrow, and tho tan soy. Tho "Carrion Fiower" {Smilax herb acea ), which grows noar Charleston, at itu period of iufloresjnce in August and September, is Bullicio ally offensive for any purpose. The difficulty will be to procure seeds for the com iug year. It may be tested on a small scale by those interested. F. P. P.
