COLUMBIA, December 13,
Colonel Montgomery, president pro tem.,
?ailed the Senate to order to-day at 12 o'clock,
and to the roll call which followed, only seven
senators answered. This number not constitut?
ing a quorum, the president so announced,
Whereupon JUlson moved that the sergeant-at
arms be Instructed to look up the absent sen at o rs
and hrlng in all he found. This motion was
carried, and the sergeant-at-arms started eut.
After an absence of abont twenty minutes, he re?
turned and reported that he could find none. The
Senate then, on motion of Hayae, adjourned.
THAT COIN BILL.
The bili providing for the payment of the in?
terest of the State stocks and bonds in coln is still
one of the chief topics of discussion. Many of
the Radical members express their disgust at the
manner In which it was passed in the House, sad
do not hesitate to assert that money was freely
' oaed to Influence the votes of the members. It
aaa been stated that the highest amonnt paid for
a vote was two hundred dollars, and the lowest
ten dollars.
it la reported that Governor Scott will veto the
DIB after it ls passed fey the Senate, some assert?
ing that his reason for BO doing is because he does
sottish to assume the onus of having favored
rt-knowing, however, that it will be passed over
his veto. Some of the less charitable ones hint
that he will veto the biU because he bas sold all of
his bonds an/1 is not now interested.
In my report of Elliott's remarks the types
made me say that he said " he (Periter) intended
Dribery and corruption." It should bc, int?mated
bribery and corruption.
THE CITY OF COLUMBIA.
The biB to extend the limito of the city of Co?
lumbia has a section providing that an election
for Mayor and Alderman be held on the first Tues?
day of February, 1870, who shall hold their offices
natil the regular election of members or thc Gen
aral Assembly In 1872. When the bill was taken
op ha the House to-day, DeLarge moved that the
section be stricken out, arguing that to pass it
would be unwise and dangerous ; it was* a pwliti
cal scheme to get rid of the present officers, who
had been fairly elected and were entitled to hold
their offices until their terms expired. In con?
cluding his remarks, DeLarge paid a high com?
pliment to the efficiency aad zeal which had
BMuXid the official conductor the present Mayor
and Alderman. Tomlinson and Geo. Lee support?
ed DeLarge's motion. Neagle and Purvis opposed
it. Ooo. Lee moved to amend the section by al?
lowing the citizens living in that portion brought
into the city by the extension, to elect at the time
designated an alderman, or as many aa was re
faired to represent them. Abont this time a
motion to postpone the consideration of the bill
Xthe 20th of this month was made and
?d.
"MR. DICKINSON'S SMALL RAILROAD."
The report of the Judiciary Committee on thc
bill to grant Hie rigtit or way ?vcr tbe Cliarl
and Savannah Railroad, recommending tha
Messrs. Dickinson, Jones and Robinson mn
all Uwc9 conform to the schedule or the rail
and in no instance cross within fifteen minn
thc time any train is dnc, and that it shall I
duty of the said company to give the said p?
or their agents notice in writing three da
advance of any change to their seUedule
taken up la the House to-day. DeLarge at
took thc Ceor, and announced his totemic
speaking, if necessary, until to-morrow mor
by which time he could get a memarlal o
citizens of Charleston protesting against the
posed measure. He then commenced his sp
and spoke to a random sort of way for two 1
and a half. During his remarks, he made sc
motions-all of which were defeated-also r<
letter from the acting president af the road,
tog thal there was no objection to granting
right of way, bot there was to furnishing
schedule changes. DeLarge also stated tha
gentlemen who were interested in the small
road did net intend to work for the bcnell
Charleston, but of Savannah, to which poin
tuc 'umber that passed through th' ir hands w
be shipped. DeLarge worried his fellow-n
bers out, and they gladly passed a motion t<
journ.
"WEARY, OH ! SO WEARY."
Thc unaccustomed duties of legislating 1
become wearisome to the members even aft?
short a "spell" as they have had this season,
day a concurrent resolution was Introduce
the House providing that the General Asset
should adjourn on the 22d of this month tc
fifth of next month. It was passed at once v
out a dissenting vote. It is understood thal
Senate will pass it to-morrow with an ami
meat clause providing that the members
senators do not receive "per diem" during
recess".
THE CUSTOMHOUSE.
A gentleman here has received a letter f
Senator Sawyer stating t?at he has every as

THE. WOMAX-8HOOTrR.
. There has been very littlo talk of the shooi
of Mattie Stokes by Meade, member of tho Ho
fiona York, of which the readers of TBS NEWS ti
been informed by telegraph. The affair has t
hushed up by tho payment af a i
of money to the woman-how much ls
at fited. Thc weuad was not as bad as first
ported. Meade is walking about, and seems t
perfectly unapprehensive of arrest. It ls ttl
that thc matter will be brought to thc atteni
or the grand jury of thc Coan of General Sessl?
which meets !iere in February next.
Speaking of shooting reminds me of an al
that occurred the other night at a fair given

member was very attentive to a light-hucd di
Bel, and invested his per diem to supply her
petite, to an extent which was extravagant
say the least. Towards the close of the en
tainment a page of the Senate, who is a sh
darker than charcoal, "walked toto the affect!
of the aforesaid damsel," and completely "
out" the member, who, upon hearing who i
his rival, recollected his dignity, then consldt
lt in sui ted, and then forgot it so far as to d ra'
pistol and start lo pursuit or the page; but
benevolent intentions to deprive the State o
fntare senator were frustrated by his fr?en
who held him until he "cooled down."
TUE SMELLING COX MITT BK.
The committee which was appointed by
last Legislature to Investigate the alleged frau
intimidations, Ac, at the various precincts of I
Third Congressional District during the elect
for congressman to represent said district,!
busily engaged in preparing their report. Il
reported that the committee wUl, in said repo
tell of any number of wrongs, murders, A
perpetrated upon the poor negroes.
TAXES FOR 1870.
I learn that in a day or two a concurrent rc
lotion will be Introduced lu the House providi
that the tax to meet thc expenses of the S ti
government for 1879 shall be one-half of one p
cent, which amount, lt is claimed, will be ami
sufficient. The tax for this year was three-fourt
of one per cent.
LAND HO I
As has been stated, Cain, colored, a short th
ago introduced a bill providing for an appropr
tlon of one million of dollars to purchase lan
for the poor. No actloa bas been taken upon
yet, bnt it is generally believed that the Hon
wiU refuse to consent io such a large approprl
HOB being made.
SCHOOL-BOOKS.
Who shall have the power of purchasing scho<
books for the children of the free-schools of tl
State? ls a question frequently asked, but i
oft et. unanswered. The "Educational bill" pr
vides that the State Board of Education shs
have the power, but lt LS doubtful if the acetic
containing that proviso will pass. Thc House w:
endeavor to pass an amendment providing tt;
there shall be a commission appointed by tl
Senate and thc Hons?, whose dnty it shall be I
select aud purchase the books. Some wai
the matter left entirely to the county school con
missioners, who shall select the books they deen
best adapted for the children af their respectiv
counties. Anticipating that this last comp
would be pursued, a New York publishing hous
sent out two agents who, taking different routei
have called upon all or nearly aU of thc schoc
commissioners and, doubtless, Impressed thee
with the belief that their text books only have th
necessary requisites to train np the education c
the children to the way lt ?tioiiH go. Anothe
New York house Is represented herc. It ls rumoi
ed that the two publishing houses have com
bined to fight tho official "ring," which botl
believe has been formed to purchase the books o
a house of their own choosing. Thc comblnatioi
propose to divide the spoils-ene to sell th
readers and spellers, the other the geographies
arithmetics and histories. Another pnbiish
lng house is reported tobe throwing out skirmish
ere to this direction. The fight over the qnestlot
promises to be warm.
THE SWAMP LANDS.
The Radical's Executive, In his last message
states that the swamp lauds of the State com
prise more than one million of acres of almost In
exhaustible fertility, and recommends an accur?
ate survey of them and a plan for their reclama
tlon. As has been stated by THE NEWS, Donald
son has given notice of bis intention to introduce
a biU providing for the drainage of these swamp
lands. On inquiring of the Auditor of the State
to regard to the number of acres comprised in
these swamp lands, I was informed that he liad
no data by which he oould judge accurately, as
they were not returned under that head-thc un?
cultivated lands being returned as "wood, un?
cultivated and marsh lands," of which there
arc eleven million acres, valued at forty-two mil?
lion dollars. What plan will be urged m the bill
tu be introduced, has not, as I am informed, been
determined upon. Some are in favor of the State
purchasing the swamp lands, and others desire
the State to drain them and let the owners pledge
themselves to pay thc expense to five or ten
years. It is very much desired that owners of
swamp lands will communicate their opinions
upon thc method of drainage which cun accom?
plish tba work thoroughly at thc least expense,
and at thc same time not conflict with thc inter?
ests of the owners.

PEKE HYACINTHE.
His Oration on Charity Last Thursday
ErenlHg at the New York Academy
j of Slaslc.
Thc Academy of Music in Kew York was
crowded last Thursday evening by one of the
largest and most brilliant audiences ever assem?
bled therein, attracted to hear the lecture or ora?
tion of the Rev. Father Hyacinthe, on "Charity."
Every seat In the building was occupied,, while
hundreds were compelled to content themselves
with standing roora. Thc stage was occupied by
a number of distinguished gentlomen, among
whom were noticed the consular representatives
of Italy, Belgium, Holland, Spain, and other na?
tions; several judges of the Supreme Court, Hor?
ace Greeley, and a number of well-known law?
yers. Pere Hyucinthe was Introduced by Mr.
Caylus, formerly a Journalist in France, and for
years a prominent merchant in New York City.
Mons. Caylus, in introducing the speaker, said
that the Americans, and Germans, and Irish had
each hcardthelr great orators In the Academy of
Music, and lt was now the turn of thc French.
On rising to speak, as on entering, a perfect storm
of applause greeted Father Hyacinthe. He seem?
ed sensibly affected by the warmth of this greet?
ing. A report in one of the New York papers
gives the following description of the manner of
the speaker and the points of his discVmrsc:
In speaking, Father Hyacinthe's language ponrs
fluently from his lips, every syllable ts dlsUuctly
enunciated, and his voice, though sounding some?
what husky, was clearly heard all through the
house. His action ls extremely graceful, never
harsh or abruptly angnlar, '.cd greatly resembles
the elegant movements of Ristorl. At times,
when he rose to his full height, his head slightly
thrown back, his voice coming forth full aud
strong, he loeked superbly grand.
The orator spoke of thc direction to be given to
life. Humanity has hesitate*! between two roads
for centuries. Shall man give to his existence an
impulse that wlU separate him from the world
that hears him and tear lt from all that the Crea?
tor has made ita basis-family, affections, inter?
ests, sufferings; or shall he cast away all Idea of
loving Heaven and concentrate apon earth his
faith, his hope, bis lover My experience has con?
vinced me that between these two roads there ls
a third opened for thc greatest moral and religions
progress man can make, and trodden by men who
can reconcile Heaven and earth-the present life
with a rature. As the first man, the work or God,
was thc king, the owner, thc manager of Rdcn
and all its brute inhabitants, BO we have to con?
tinue in these ages the work of Adam; but in?
stead of a small part of Asia Minor, we have a
whole planet God has given us steam and elec?
tricity, and distance is annihilated. The globe is
our Eden. After the first man came family and
society. God made Adam a companion and saved
him from egotism. Thus was the organization of
the family perfected. In modern society, celibacy
exists for the sake of God, but this exception, if
yon make it a rule, is against God and against,
nature. Celibacy ls cowardice If lt docs not gio
rffy marriage The Apostles have said marriage
ls honorable.
The great object In life ls the reconciliation of
Heaven and earth, of the present life with the fu?
ture, and to secure union cn earth. Union in thc
city, in the nation and in humanity was the
thought of Jesus Christ, who first proclaimed that
which the prophets but dimly saw, and the Jews
never did sec. The centuries that are to realize
this great union of nations have begun; the labor
has commenced. Northward you have the Es?
quimaux; southward is Africa. You summon
from walled China thc unmoving people to dwell
amid the moving nation, thc stationary to mingle
with the progressive, all impelled by the breath
of you, the great hnmanilarian pcaple. (Great
applause.] Thu foundation of your people is the
Bible, the book that speaks of God, the living
word of Jesus Cl hst. In an admirable manifesto
from your President, there Bhows through his
words thc Christian faith. A belief In Jesus ls at
the root of this nation. May Jesus Christ protect
your county and develop old Europe, preparing
amid strife unity and religious and material pros?
perity. And when I return I shall tell Europe that
l have found here liberty associated with Chris?
tianity, and have been amoRg a people who do
not think that to bc free they must be parted from
God. [dre.it applause.]
Thc New York World devotes a column to the
description of the audience and of the lecturer.
The first was by no means sectarian, representa?
tives of all religious and no religions, pew-holders
and speculators being mixed in all parts of thc
crowded house. There were 2000 persons pres?
ent. The reporter gives a description of Father
Hyacinthe :
He was dressed in a black snit, not of priestly
cut or dimensions, and if not fashionable lt was
at least thoroughly the dress of a gentleman of
taste, and nor conformed to any of thc rules or
etiquette which generally overtake speakers and
actors npon that stage." There was nothing of
thc " persuasion" about it, and lt was as far the
other way from the absurd extreme of full dress.
He stood a moment at the table as thc president
introduced him. He ls a man of medium height,
solidly built, and inclining lo portliness, with a
rugged, fleshy face, in which thc nervous bilious
temperament predominates, and which, from its
massive features and stolid expression, when at
rest, gives at the first glance au erroneous im?
pression of the man. It Is the lusty organization
of Luther, rather than the abstemious body or
Fenelon. There Ls more of the "Little Corporal"
lu the head than of Erasmus. It does not charm
you with apparent Intellectuality. The moment
he speaks, a new character CO^?S into his race.
The voice liself dispels the drat impression. It Is
thc voice of kindness; one of those clear, sharp,
penetrating voices which hold all the shades and
half-tints, the Inflections of language in solution
a voice warm, gcntle.subdued, but wonderfullydls
tinct, and with a pleasant sadness lurking In lt, lt
is, too, thc voice of the scholar, thoroughly trained
to its work-no tones wasted; every word rapidly
but wholly spoken, and every sentence turned as
rhythmically as a phrase of music, and this with?
out any dramatic effort, but with u quiet earnest?
ness which gives it a fresh charm. As he warms
with his subject, his oratory becomes a trifle more
impetuous, but by the side of our headlong native
orators lt ls placid enough.

IMPORTANT Flt O M WASHINGTON.
Interesting Official Statements in Re?
gard to Cotton Production.
[SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TOE NEWS.]
WASHINGTON, December 14.
The following is what tho Commissioner of
Agriculture says in his annual report, just out,
underthe head or "Southern Agriculture : "
"The continued high prise of cotton has made
its culture more profitable than at any former
period, and the crop ol' 1S6S has yielded a larger
amount of money than that of 1859. The yield of |
the past year exceeded very slightly the estimate
or this Department, which was 2,3SO,ooo bales.
The present season has witnessed great activity
In this culture, an increase or area cultivated, and
more general and generous fertilization, and has
also been characterized by drought In the sea?
board States, and other causes ot diminished pro
ductiot, which have modified the expectations of
planters ; yet the crop will exceed that of last
year, and may reach 2,700,000 bales.
"I regret to obscrve.from official correspondence
and during a brief tour through the cotton States,
tlie tendency to neglect other crops and concen?
trate all available labor and capital npon a single
product, however profitable. The inevitable re?
sult will be more cotton and smaller net returns
In money after the purchase of needed supplies,
and, as further result, a slower Improvement of
neglected lands. This bane of Southern agricul?
ture ls still operative, and may cease to exist only
when low prices, disaster and despondency shall
again arrest the impolitic and irrational course
of production. I would not advise an attempt to
keep np prices by limiting the yield; a somewhat
larger supply of the staple ls needed in the mar
ket3 0f the world; the present rates cannot bo
susfnined indefinitely; but I would not roster the
suicidal mania for cheapening thc money-pro?
ducing crop while renderiug dearer every other
that mast be purchased as an auxiliary or its pro?
duction.
"li ls gratifying, however, to note the increase
or colton manufactures In thc cotton region, their
flourishing condition, their large dividends, and
the quality of their yarns and rabrics. Operativ es
are easily obtained at reasonable wages, becom?
ing readily Inured to habits or systematic Indus?
try, and rapidly acquiring thc requisite skill. At
the commencement or the present year there
were eighty-six cotton mills reported from South?
ern States to the National Association ot Cotton
Manufacturers and Planters, running 225,063

A HUGE MONOPOL Y.
Thc Phosphates In the Bed of our Nav?

. A correspondent oi thc Columbia Phoenix
calls attention to an exceedingly succulent morse),
in the shape of a bill, now before the Senate, In thc
following words :
A bill to grant to certain persons therein named
the exclusive right to dig and mine in thc beds of
the navigable streams and waters of thc State,
for phosphate rocks and phosphate deposits.
lie it enacted, Ac. That the State of South Car?
olina doc* hereby give and grant unto the follow?
ing named persons, to Wit : George W. Williams,
James H. Taylor, Joseph H. Robertson, Edwin
Platt, James Bridge, Jr., William lilrnle. Edward
Willis, Alexander R. Chlsolm, W. L. Bradley, and
tillarles C. Coe, and such other persons as they
may associate with them, the exclusive right to
dig, mine, and remove from thc beds of thc navi?
gable streams and waters within the jurisdiction
of the State of South Carolina, the phosphate
rock nri. 1 phosphate deposit : Proride?, That thc
perse is named, and their associates, "null not in
any way Interfere with the free navigation of the
navigable streams and waters of thc Stale, or
the private tights of auy citizen or citizens resi?
ding upon the banks of the said navigable rivers
and waters ef the State.
SEC. 2. That this Rift and grant is made npon
t e express condition that said grantees shall pay
t thc State of South Carolina th e.sum of twenty
cents per ton for every ton of phosphate rock or
phosphate deposit du?, mined, or removed from
the said navigable rivers and waters of the State.
The Phoenix correspondent remarks :
Tho phosphate bed of South Carolina ls known
to extend from the Wando River to the Savan?
nah. Its value depends upon its proximity to the'
surface, and the facility with which it can be con?
veyed to navigable waters, and thence to the
markets of the world. Throughout thc section of
the State between thc Wando and the Savannah,
thc channels of the intervening rivers cut through
the phosphate bed, ami thc pbosphute, washed of
Itu earthly lncnmbranec, lies at the bottom ol'
or their channels, and catt be lifted by dredges
and scows In a condition ready for thc market,
and worth, at least, loo per cent, more than in
localities where lt ls overlaid by rrom two to four
feet of earth, and where it has to go through the
manipulation of washing machines aud transpor?
tation to thc banks of a river. It ls worth, there?
fore, on board of the BCOW, at least, from six to
el?htdollars per ton, Tor which this bill proposes
to pay the Stato twenty cents per ton. The grant
above proposes that thcravored individuals named
shpn have the exclusive right to take thc phos?
phite* rrom thc beds or all ihc navigable streams
and waters, emhrtclng the bays and Inlets along
the coast, comprising, at least, 2,000,000 of acres
or surface, and each acre may bc calculated on
for from soo to 1000 tons of phosphate, making an
aggregate of l,12.r>,000 of tons. Compare the dif?
ference between this Immense quantity of phos?
phate at twenty cents per ton, the price proposed
to bc paid to thc State, and thc four to six dollars
per ton, what it ls worth to thc Individuals named
In the grant. For be lt recollected, that Hil? Im?
mense treasure is now the property of the State,
and lt may be asked, is she In a condition to di?
vest herself of it for the bcnetlt of a Tew favored
Individuals? If this rrancliine was disposed of at

against the Inimical effect of sudden changes of

If proper attention were paid to this important
fact, there would not only be a great decrease in
the number of cases of stomach, bowel and renal
complaints, bot also In thc number of deaths by
consumption and other pulmonary diseases.
At this poriod of the year, whea the dividing

season has Just been passed, a course of HOSTET

valuable service In Improving thc condition of the
