FROM THE STATE CAPITAL. The Charleston Election Bill-Ran aler's Remarks in its Favor-The Vote on the f i ill by Teas and Biays-Kcw In? structions for County Commissioners Aid for tue Memphis, El Paso and Southern Trans-Continental Railroad. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. J COLUMBIA, S. C., February 18.-The event of to-day was the discussion in the House of the Charleston Election bill.. The debate though, lively, and at times rather of a personal cha? racter, elicited no new arguments. It was coa fined entirely to the Republioan side of tho House, All the Democrats and five Republi? cans voted against the bill. The latter were, DeLarge, ot Charleston; Elliott, of Barnwell; Feriter, of Samter; Hyde, of Geeonvillo, and Stoober, of Marion. Ibo speeches were all brief owing probably to the fact that the mer? its and demerits of the bill had already been fully canvassed in the S mate, and the debate cut short by Brodie, of Charleston, calling for the previous question, which was almost unanimously sustained. Ransior, of Charleston, said that they all know tho fact that an election had been held. It was admitted that there wore irregularities or informalities in tho conduct of tho election, and the General Assembly is asked to validate the election, notwithstanding those irregulari? ties, and to award to the persons receiving the highest number of votes tho offices which they claimed, and to which they wore entitled. For lnmselt he hud decided how he should vote on tho question of agreeing to the bill. He had votea for it m the committee, and he desired to Bay that his was no hasty decision. He felt it to be his duty as a representative of the people, as owing it to his constituents who sent hun here, and also in consideration of the questions raised as to the right of the General Assembly to net in this rr<attar, to give tao reasons for the vote which he should give io support of the bill. The bill belora the House and tho subject matter bas agitated the community of Charl os ioa for three months, if not longer. As a mem? ber of that community it bad occasioned him much anxioty. He knew of no event iu the City of Charleston which had given rise to moro excitement and feeling of direct, deter? mined opposition on both sidos. Identified with tho city, it was but a natural desire ou his part to see ail its people, of all classes, pros? perous, happy and contented. When, there? fore, he witnessed on the ono hand a political pany, detoi mined on exclusive representation and cons?quent control, ovou making it a question of oolor, and tho othor side struggling iut justice, equally determined, he feared tho cons?quence? that might follow, Their Dem? ocratic friends in Charleston desired that tho Republicans shouid not consider this a question of party, while they under that delusive name .' Conservative" were determined and acted strictly as a party. That was on their part, to say the least, an un? pardonable mistake. He did not lay claim to any legal ability, but would endeavor to meet tho argument used by some, that this matter should be loft io the courts. The eleotioa was held on the 10th or November, 1868. under the provisions ?rf un feet to provide for the eiectlun of officers of incorporated cities and towns of the State of South Carolina. It cannot be de? nied tbat tho most gigantic efforts were made in this, aa in other elections in this State, un? der the Reconstruction acts, to defeat the Be publican party. The case before them upon V'hich they were now called to take action, is ou? of those causes growing out of the dam? nable efforts and designs ot parties opposed to this entire programme of reconstruction. The election was held in Charleston; a protest was . submitted and entertained. The Aoting Mayor and Aldermen had un investigation, and pro te stn charge that the election was null and void on account of tho illogal conduct of some of the managers, and propone to contest tho tier to of a majority of tbObe persons who claim to bi- (and were) duly elected at that eleotion. The fifth section of the act provides, "the managers of < loci iona shall decide contested casca hubj c. to the ultim tte decisiou of the Board of Aidermon or waidens when organie od, except when tho electiou of a majority of the personB voted for aro contested or tho managers charged with illegal conduct, in whiou case tbo rc.unie, together with tho bal? lots, shall bo examined und tho case investi gated by tbo Acting Boaid of Alderman, who shall declare tho election; and their decision shall be binding upon ail parties," It was the duty then ofthat Mayor and Board of Aldermen, upo-, receiving the roturas of the manager*, to publish the same according to the aot and issuo oom neaten by which those re? ceiving the highest number of votes would bo, m possession of pr ima fnove evidence of their oleciion. ihe seats of a m ijority of the Board were contested, br the managers charged with illegal oonduot. It whs then competent tor ihe Board ol Alder?ssa, to examine the returns with the ballots. It was, perhaps, not necessary to dwell on tho faot that the return? were not, in the first instanoo, published aa direoted to be done by law, or, aofOudly, the sent* of a majority bf those receiving the highest number of vott a were not cotrtosted, wu it is important and necessary to discover th? gis? of the Whole matter to ascertain whether the allega? tion ot fraud ia true; whether tbs managers wero guilty of illegal conduct tmf?ioient to in val'dato tho election, and if BO, what is tho meaning and intent of tho law and the power and duties of the Board of Aldermen. The rot urn to tho writ of mandamus by tho Board of Aldermen, saying that certain irregularities had occurred in the election, was decided by tho Supremo Court as an insufficient return, and thus, was decided this question as submit? ted bv the Council. DoLarge. Will tho gentleman yield for a question ? Bansier. No. sir. Af tor tho court settled that question they issued a peremptory writ, to wbioh the Board responded, declaring whorecoivpd the highest number of vo?.00 and tho namos of the persons receiving them. He contended that tho decision of the court, by the faots submitted by counsel, provos that the irregularities themselves woro not nu (Vi? cient to invalidate the election. The return to tho peremptory writ proves that matter. Upon that both parties ceasod furthor efforts in the ?nse before the court. Now whothor under those circumstances the Legislature had a right to interfere, had given him considerable concern and thoucht. Ho had looked at it from a Ropublioan standpoint, vet he was not for urgiug or even aiding this General Assembly to pass unconstitutional measures which they had no right to pass. The press ot Charleston has labored to con? vince the Oonoml Assembly that it had no right to interfere 111 this matter. They have romindod tho Legislature that it would bo against the constitution to pass this bill. Thoy have warned tho General Assembly of the dangorofoue brauch ot tho State Government encroaching on tho other. There is, he said, no caso before tho courts. Tho inquiry thou is, can the General Assombly pass a bili that will accomplish the purpose sought for to seat tho officers eleotod ? Ho was tully satisfied that tho bdl before them was fullv sufficient for that purpose. He was boro to support tho measure and to advocate its passage by the House. It wa3 proposed to charlo fifty dollars a day for o very day that tho*parties now in possession, hold over. Tho parties will then bo bable for a violation of law, and will have to pay a fino, and it can bo recovored in an action for debt. He regretted the matter bad gone so far; knew thc feeling of the people and the press on this subject, and could hope that tho Re? publican p a ty had mado such selection as to satisfy all parties concerned, so that crimina? tion and recrimination coutd havo been stop? ped. The Republican party is not responsible for this state of things in Charleston. Let it fall on those who aro resi onsible. It is known that almost every office sought to be filled by Re? publicans, in or out of Oh arl os ton, elective under the Reconstruction acts, has been made a matter ot litigation. Tho (rentlcman at [p's right (W. J. McKinlay) bas been elected by tho General Assembly to thc eftice of register of mesno conveyance, and is kept out of it forty days by ono of tue opposite party. He hoped the bill would pass without the opposition of a Bingie member of the House. He appealed to thoir good sense and to principle, and he voted for it on the seoro of principle and justice. Nash, of Kershaw, followed in a brief but forcible speech, saying that ho had given tho bill his most anxious consideration, and was fully satisfied of its j u. lice. Feriter, of Sumter, made an eloquent speech against the passago ot such a bill. He regard? ed it as unconstitutional and inconsistent with the act passed by the General Assembly, under which tho election was held. He also warned members against establishing a prece? dent which 111 tho future might react with ter? rible force upon themselves. DeLargo followed in an earnost and impas? sioned speech. He regretted the introduction of the bitl ; believed it would pass, but bo de? sired to be recorded ns raising his voice against it. It was both an unwise and danger? ous precedent, and would bring no good to tho Republican party. It was a delusion, a cheat aud a snare. He thought there would bo no more chance of Pillsbury aud bis Aldermen io be Boated under this bili than for a mau to be struck by lightning, under a cloudless ?ky and a sunshiny day. If the bill would do what its friends say, he might vote for it. He knew Ins constituents desired the passago of this bill, bub it was no good. They were only misled. He ?poko of threats and intimidation having been used towards him, but defied any party to causo him to swerve from the line of duty, even undor the lash of tho party whip. Bosomon, of Charleston, followed, waimly advocating the passapo of the bill. AL the conclusion ot Bosemon's speech, Bro? die obtained the floor, advocated the passage of the bill, and called the previous question. I'be ct.ll was sustained, and, after some re? marks bv Whipper and Tomlinson in support of the bill-Tomlinsons aying that Mayor Clark bad always been a Copperhead-Elliott was al? lowed to explain his vote, and stated that he had been conscientiously opposed to the bill from its introduction.
