Judge Carpcuter sent a letter to the Senate re i|uesting a full and thorough investigation nl bis ofKcial conduct, and stating that the rennest was male because of the charges that he had been un just to tir oloreil people in his circuit, It was referred to the Judiciary Committee, ami wt also presented in the House. The Committee ou Privileges and Elections, to whom was committed the report regarding t hi Abbeville election contest, made a long report to day, slgucd by lloyt, Owen and Cose. They de clare thai the vote nt the Calhouii Mills Precinct was null and void nod should he thrown out. Without It, Guffln has a majority, and should, therefore, have the seat. In the House, the bill lo better protect ihe I holders of Insurance policies was reported on uud read the second time. The following bills were read the Drat time: To punish conspiracies to prosecute innocent per sons; to provide for general elections and the manner of conducting the same. DsLarge offered a resolution directing the State auditor to levy taxes, which received Its Hrst [reading.

Colonel Montgomery, president pro tern., coiled the Senate to order to-day nt IS o'clock, nnd to tho roll call which followed, only seven senators answered. This number not constitut ing a quorum, the president so announced, whorenpon .lillson moved that the srrgoaiit-ai nrms be Instructed lolook up the absent senators and bring lu all he found. This motion was carried, and the sergeant-at-arms started out. After an absence of about twenty minutes, he re k turned and reported that he could (bid none. The S Senate then, on motion of Hsyne, adjourned. B Til at coin dill. ST The bill providing for the payment of the in Beerest of the St ate stocks and bonds In coin Is still one of the chief topics of discussion. Many of the Rndlcal members express t hoir disgust at the w manner in which it was passed In the House, and do not hesitate to assert that money was freely jose I to Inilnence the votes of the members. It ?0&S been stated that the highest arm tun paid for Hi vote was two hundred dollars, and the lowest H en dollars. H H is reporied that flovcrnor Scott win veio the ^?ill after it is passed by the Senate, some assert ing that his renson for so doing Is because he does not wish to assume tho onus of having favored it?knowing, however, that It will i>e passed over his veto. Some of tnc less charitable ones hint that he will veto the bill hcciuse he bas sold nil of his bonds ami is not now interest?d. In my report of Klliott's remarks the types made me say that he ssld "be (Kerltcr) tnfendrvi bribery ond corruption." It should be, tnttMHtetl bribery and corruption. Till: CITY OP COI.l'MlilA. The bill to extend the limits of the city of Co lumbia has a section providing that an election (or Mayor and Alderman lie held on the Hrst Tnes hday of February, 1870, who shall hold their oflleca 'imil the regular election of members of the den ernl Assembly in 1873. When tin bin was taken ap In the House to day, Del.argc moved that lite , i cet in a be stricken out. arguing that lo pass it . wonld be unwise and dangerous ; it was a politI * cal scheme to get rid of the present ofllcers. who had been fairly clcsted nnd were entitled to hold llicir oftlces until their terms expired. In con (butin? his remarks, D?l.arge paid a high ci tn plimeot to the eftlclency and Real which had narked the oillclnl conduct of the present Mayor and Alderman. Toiellnaon und (ieo.

As has been staled, Cain, colored, a short time ago Introduced a bill providing for un appropria tion of one million of dollars to purchase lands for tho poor. No action has been taken upon 1: yet, but it is generally believed thai the House will refuse to consent to such a large appropria tion being made. sciicmi.-pooKy. Who shall "nave the power of purchasing school books for the children of the free-schools of the .state* is n Question frequently asked, but as often unanswered. The "Educational bill" pro vides that the .state board of Education Khali h ive the power, hut it is doubtful if the section containing that proviso will puss. Tho House will endeavor to pass an utnctidmctit providing thut there shall be a commission appointed by the Senate and the House, whose duty It shall be lo .=flect and' purchase lie; books. Some want the matter left entirely lo tiie county school com missioners, who shall select the books they deem best adapted for the children of their respective counties. Anticipating thai this last course would bo pursued, a Now York publishing house seul out two agents who, taking different routes, have called upon all or nearly all of the school cominis-iouers und, doubtless, Impressed them with the belief that their tcxi books only have the necessary requisites to train up Hie education of the child reu in the way it should go. Another New York house Is represented here. It Is rumor ed that the two publishing bouses have com bined lo llghi the oMlcial "ring," Which both believe has been formed to purchase the books of a iioii"c of their own choosing. The combination propose lo divide Hie spoils?one lo sell the readers nnd spellers, the oilier the geographies, arithmetics and histories. Another publish ing house is reported lobe throwing out skirmish [ ers In this direction. The fight over Hie HUesliou promises to be warm. the swamp i.AXD8. The Radical's Executive, In hi* last message, states that iue swamp lands 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 tion. As has been stated by The News, Donald son has given notice of his Intention to Introduce a bin providing for the drainage of these swamp landi. On Inquiring of the Auditor of the state in regard lo the number of acres comprised in these swamp lauds, I was informed that he had no data by winch ut could judge accurately, as they were not relumed under that head?the un cultivated lauds being returned as "wood, un cultivated and marsh lands," of which there are eleven million acres, valued at forty-two mil lion dollars. What plan will be urged in the bill to be Introduced, lias not, as I am Informed, been determined upon. Some arc iu favor of the Stale purchasing Ihc swamp lauds, aud othersdesiiu the State lo drain them and let the owners pledge themselves t?> pay the expense Iu live or ten years. It Is very much desired that owners of swamp lands will communicate their opinions upon ihc method of drainage which ean accom plish ilia work thoroughly at the least expense, and at the same time not conflict witli the inter ests of the owners. strat items. in the Honse to-day Mclntyre introduced the following preamble and resolution, which was, on motten of Del.arge, referred lo the Committee on Statehonse anil Grounds: Wlureat, ll is customary throughout the Uni ted Slates that, at the sittings of the loyal Legis lature, a United States Hag w.ives OVcr the place where it assembles; therefore, he it Resotttd b.v the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring.
