(He ls always doing lt, and, ns a recognition of lils services In thai linc, he should at once bo appointed chairman of the Commet? tes on Privileges-and Elections.] He de? nounced thc charges os untrue; tho Democratic press as preferring to Ho rather than tell tho truth, and then chatlotigod an investigation Into thc workings of thc commission, Ac, Ao. Now, ai tho commissioner himself will admit, tnore arc many poisons, both Democrats nnd Re? publicans, who belle vu that tho land comioisslou |i4 machino worked In thc Interests nf thc Re? publican party generally and for a icw persons particularly, and as ho has to so frequently de? fend it, and the senators bare to listen to lt-a few of them, apparently, again u their inclina? tion-I wonid recommend thai a committee, con? sisting of nlno men, (threo Democrats, three White and three colored Republicans,) bo appoint? ed Irom each body, whoso duty lt win be to in vesiigaio tuc alleged cnnrges against tuc com? mission, unit to report whether lhere be tiny truth lu them or not. Such u method, if properly carried out, will have a, better effect than ult thc defences of the commissioner himself. There arc, os 1 have before stated, numerous reports aile at rc fleeting uiioii the operations of Ute commission, and the sooner they ure proved or disproved the better for all concerned. TUK STATS COXSTAbl.CS SKVBSKD. lt will be remembered 'hat a short time ago Nash Introduced lu thu Soli?te a bill to protect the State police from arrest for alleged on'euccs committed by them lu the dischurgo or their du? ties, which provided thal they could liol bc arrest? ed upon any alleged offence whatever, and also providing that auy magistrate who Issued a war runt ror Hie arrest ur any one of them upon any alleged offence should bc lined or.

Thc bin was referred to thc Judiciary Committee, whlclk reported unfavorably, stilting substantially that they were no better than while people gener? ally, and should be subject to arrest and penalties common to all mortals who live under lawn. To? day, in thc Senate, the report wns taken up aud adopted without a dissenting voice. There is considerable talk of abolishing the Stale constabulary force. TUK AllllKVll.l.K BRXATUniAL RI.R0T70M.

AUTHORITY WAKTKD. I.eiiie desired thc chairman of thc committee to state if the law of the lund, ns construed tty Con? gress and legislative bodies, authorized thc throwing out the vote at one. poll without vitiat? ing thc whole election; he was satisfied thai tho chairman had fully Investigated tho maller, had "read up," wa? "posted," and he would like for him to furnish his authority or authorities for recommending that thc vote al one precinct bc cast out, and the person who received a majority without thc vote at that one be admit ted to u seal ? Hoyt said he took the liest legal advice In Hie State In regnrd to Hie propriety and legality ol thc recommendation. Leslie thought that wa.' "very Indefinite authority," und so staled, where upon Hoyt stated that he did not consider it necessary to give IIIH authority. LCM.u: CALLS KUI; Tin: LAW. Leslie said he waa advised that there was n< law authorizing any such recommendation a: that of the committee; there wore Ufty cases 01 thc books which clearly showed that no uciioi such as was recotnmcuded could bc taken. Leslh then called upon the "loyal senator" (Corbin) ti "lay down thc law," saying that he, for foti mouths, had studied and thought of nothing els but elections and laws bearing upon them, nm was, tlier dor.'.

Corbin, after volunteering the gratuitous Infot niatlou that he waa a Itepublicati, but was some times called a Radical, and then stilling thal lu would vole to admit Hie mau, whether Radical o Dciuocrut, who was fairly elected, asserted as hi opinion that neither Colonel Cothran nor Gurt) was entitled to thc seal; that there was uo lai which would warrant the Senate In acting upo (he recommendation of thc committee.

Leslie asserted thi thc reason nf his being admitted was because h opponent (Reid) was not quulltlcd to accept tl scat. WKKTAACK UKIN TUK COMM ITTER. Rose sahl thal though his name appear? among the signatures lo the report, he kne ,n01 long of thu Abbeville election case, und 1 did nul think thc committee had made i thorough un Investigation as it was ordered '.od They had acted entirely too hastily lu thc matte and Instead of Invosilvaiing ns tboy should ha* done, had gotten up the report outside of tl committee room. Hoyt said that us Rose hi gone back upon tho committee, he would stn (hal although he (R.) waa frequently sui moued to attend the committee Investigation he had only conic once.

Leslie had hy this time succeeded in gcti.no; copy of tho law, and proceeded to read ca.-e aft case, thc decisions of which supported Corbin position. Maxwell commenced to speak in sn port of Corbin's resolution, and recommended new election. He wa4! Interrupted by Hoyt, wi desired tn know if he knew how ninny lives lu been sacrificed at thc last election, mid how mat inure would bc sacrificed if another were held; which Maxwell replied that he had said.

To prevent such oceurCDG requires only determined, manly action ou t part ol Hie now oppressed people, ir we ord another election the Republicans of that couu will he inspired nnd will carry it. Hayue wouti Corbin's resolution adopted. Since thc rai UH Hon of thc constitution tho people or Abbcvl had not been allowed to give a free expression opinion al thc ballot-box. In his county (Marie they used to have murders and outrages np the people, but since lt was understood by l Denn.m ais I list for every man killed by Hieui li of them would die, elections pa-.-cd otr quiet mid the people enjoyed their rights.

Hie bill to extend thc limits or Columbia, which ls only n Radical trick lo get possession of I lie municipal oillces of Columbia, was called up in thc House lo-day and "filibustered" for about two hours, during which time the members were very disorderly-ti one time so much so that the Speaker was upon tho i>olnt of ordering the ser gcuut-at-arms lo arrest several of thc Members.

[I'HO.H OUU OWN COKItESPOKDENT.) COLUMBIA, December 16. The Executive Committee of the Board uf Trustee*^ the University or South Carolina havo made u most de.spondlug repul? to the Legisla? ture. They state that when the present board took charge of thc University late Hi last session, ll was under embarrassing circumstance-;; thc number of students was small, only sixty-live having matriculated during the year. Thc build? ings were lu a most deplorable and dilapidated condition ; there being scarcely one room or dwell? ing In decent repair, and very many almost unten? able. The lights lu the windows of the students rooms were almost entirely destroyed. The faculty was unsettled nato whether they would remain al their posts or abandon their connection with Hie institution, und up lo this lime the chairs of chemistry! pharmacy, mineralogy and geology, natural and mechanical philosophy and astrono? my, law, mathematica, civil and military engi? neering und construction, modern languages and literature, ancient languages and literature have been vacated. (leaving only three of the profes? sors In thc literary department.) Dnder such cir cumstnnccs, a huge attendance or students at the opening session could not be expected; but the prospects are dally Improving; confidence is being restored, and about forty students have already entered, who are reported by tho faculty as a very temperate and studious sot of yanns men. BRTAIKS. The board of trustees have been greatly em? barrassed in every at'otnpt to Improve and repair thc buildings, by the wain of funds; neverthe? less limy have made great Improvements, and uro continuing tho repairs by an engagement with Mr. Allen, who has been kind enough to do such work ns waa indispensable and await your action for payment. jTlio cost of repairing thu buildings belonging tu Hie Bnlvcraltj was esti? mated, on the 10th or December, 1SC?, by Mr. Allen, to bo tscwnOj-thrtfl thoiuutn? snv< n hundred .1 Mar*.] Nothing has yet been done except such work as was necessary lo preserve tho property, liorna. Slr. James Davis waa elected bursar nud mar? shal, Instead of Mr. \V. H. Orchard, removed. Thc chair of law has been lilied by C. I). Mellon, Esq., or Columbia, a gentleman of hue legal at? tainments and ability. Great dlfllculty has been experienced in finding suitable and competent persons lo fill other chairs. The peculiar circum? stances surrounding the Institution requires a special Illness which nil persons with scholarly attain moats do not possess. A very great num? ber ol'applicants for each of thc vacant chairs have been placed before the board, many of whom aro gentlemen of high character aud unquestion? able capacity ; but Hie board havo only elected two professors; lt ls hoped that they have made good selections, viz: one for thc chair of natural and mechanical philosophy and astronomy, itnd another to tho chair of modern languages and literature. Temporary arrangements Wave been entered Into willi gentlemen io continuo the course of instructions lu the other schools, until such time as tho board may bc able to supply the vacancies. An extra professorship has been cs t aldis he 1 lu thc medical school, mid John Lynch, M. IL, of this city, elected thereto. Tho Execu? tive Committee conclude their report with two modest "hopes." "that enough will bo appro? priated by the General Assembly to pul all the buildings In a good condition," mid "Hint by propel management this Institution may bc lu tho future, ns lt has been In the past, a pride and honor tu tho State." TUB UBRAItr COMMITTEE In their report, Inform tho "Honorable Board of Trustees" that the library of tho University or South Carolina, comparing favorably, tn point of size and material, willi any public library In tho Southern Bte tea, contains upwards of twenty-live ihousnnd volumes, many of which aro rare and valuable works. The selection of books ls very tine, most of thom being ologanily bound and rrom Hie best editions. There ls very little trash In Mils library. "The only source of revenue to thc University library ls derived from library fees -ten dollars per session for each paying student. Under thc present circumstances, this amounts to a mere nominal sum. Much of tho Income derived from library feen, which, properly, should bo applied exclusively for the benefit and enlargement of tho library, hos been expended for other purposes, a otb os postage, stationery, priming, advertising, repairs on the campus," Ac.

The principal causes willoh have affected this unhappy result are well known to the members of Cac board, and do not seem to mc appropriate Tor discussion In this report. I think Hutt by steadj perseverance in the support or the University us a school or teaching, preju? dges und apprehensions may "ne removed, and Us sphere o' usefulness greatly and bennniicillly en? larged. lt will, I think, cont rt bute much to this result that the board should, nt an curly day, till t'"5 vacant chairs In the Un I Viral ty with well selected and able prolessors."
