VOLUME VIII.-NUMBER 1248. CHARLESTON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 22, 1869. SIX DOLLARS A YEAR. COLUMBIA. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. The Limits of Columbia to be Extended -The Township Aet Staved Oft*-The Phosphate Monopoly Bill Postponed nntil after the Recess-Corbin Gagged -The Regents of the Lunatic Asy? lum, &e. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NEWS.] COLUMBIA, December 21. In the House the bills to render better pro? tection to migratory fish; to amend the law m re? lation to licenses; to require the registration of apothecaries, and to regulate the vending of drugs and poisons, received their second reading, The-bills to give equal rights before law to all colors, and to consent to the sale of certain lands to the United States, received their first reading. The bills to extend the limits of Columbia, and to incorporate the Sumter Manufacturing Com? pany, were passed and sent to the Senate. iMthe Senate but little was done. The friends of the bill repealing the Township act filibustered and succeeded in staving off action. Corbin was cocked and primed with a big speech on the phospha'e monopoly bill, bat no op? portunity was allowed to get lt off. Cain made a long speech In favor of postponing it, and noth? ing now can be done with it until after the recess. A very poor prospect exists of its passage even then, though a number of Charlestonians are here to fight both for and against the bill. In the joint assembly of the Legislature, Bosc mon, colored, from Charleston, Senator Nash, colored, and Henry Sparnick, were elected re? gents of the State Lunatic Asylum. Six were to have been elected, and Elliott appealed from the decision of Corbin, and the assembly was dissolv? ed amid confusion. OUR REPORTS RT MAIL. THE TRUE STORY OP THE HOLIDAY PER DIEM.

In the Senate to-day a message from the " House insisting that the "Honorable Senate" con? cur in the resolution of the House appointing the - proxies to represent the interest of thc State in the Spartanburg and Union Railroad, was taken up. Leslie, after some remarks in regard to the rights of each body and the plan of the House to assume more of them than seemed just, moved to refer the whole matter to the Railroad Committee. There was some slight demur to this motion, and Leslie proceeded to explain his reasons for maxing the motion. He said, substantially, that the appointment of proxies year af? ter year was a mere farce; the Spartan? burg and Union Railroad was now broken up, -and had been virtually so for some time past; (also the Laurens Railroad;) the cou? pons of the road were now floating about New York and the holders asking for payment, but they received lt not; the State would or could not pay, and such a state of things was bringing the State lute contempt; lt were better that the airain of the road be wound up at once. He was m favor of the Railroad Committees of each body being appointed a Joint committee to investigate the affairs of the road, and report what action was necessary. After some slight discussion the Sen ate Railroad Committee waa appointed a commit tee of conference to meet the Railroad Committee from the House. GRASPING. Soon after the House was called to order a con ourrent resolution was introduced and passed, prevldjBg that the clerks or that body and of the Senate be instructed to issue at once pay certid catos to members for their per diem from the 23d of November, 1M9, to January 5,1670. When the resolution came before the Senate, Corbin at once moved to strike out the words "January 5,1870, and insert In lieu thereof "December 23,1869." After a little filibustering, a motion to refer the resolution to the Finance Committee was made, whereupon Jllison and Cain added "with instruc? tions to report in five minutes.M Tue last motion waa lost and Corbin's tarried. Shortly after this a message came from the House stating that it refused to cone* m the amendment, insisted upon the adoption of the resolution, and request? ed a committee of conference. Corbin, Jillson and Cain were appointed on the part of the Sen ate, and met the House committee, when it was determined to receive the per diem during thc holidays. Last year it was resolved not to receive the per diem during the recess, and resolutions offered afterward to rescind that resolution were re? jected. But such virtuous resolutions could not last. This year the members not only receive pay for doug nothing during a recess, but draw lt in advance, doubtless fearing that u* they de? layed that delightful operation, some economical ones would, after the recess, attempt measures to prevent them from dipping their hands into the treasury without showing good "cause why," which they could not do. They will have recess from the 23d of this to the 6th of next month, thirteen days. The pay of one hundred and fifty senators and representatives ror thirteen days, at six dollars per day,will amount to the respectable Sum Of ELEVEN THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED DOL LARS. *f BARNWELL COURTHOUSE. The House bill to change the location of the county seat of Barnwell County back from Black ville to Barnwell Courthouse was taken up In the Senate to-day and referred to the Judiciary Com? mittee. Leslie favored Its being so referred, and said substantially that no matter where the county seat was located, there wonld be a great many persons la the county dissatisfied. One hair of the voting population of thc county lived along the railroad, and to these Blackville was the most convenient. The rault was that the county, like Beautort, was too large, aud the only plan to remedy the evil was that favored by some of the best minds or the State-to bunch the tier or counties from Beaufort to Abbeville-Beau? fort, Colleton, Barnwell, Orungeburg, 4c, and cut two or three new counties out of them. By that means courthouses could be located in the counties of Barnwell and Bcaufor:. which would be easily accessible to all thc Inhabitants, which could not be done now because or the size or the counties. He hoped the Judiciary Committee would report a bill or some measure which would settle the BarnweU Coe? thouse question satlsfac torily. EQUALITY. In the Senate to-day the bill " to regulate the assessment of taxation o? personal property in the City of Charleston" was taken up for the third reading, when the seventh section (which pro? vides that " the City Council be authorized to re? quire the payment of such sum or sums of money, farllo&se or licenses, as in their judgment be Just and wise, by any person or persons engaged, or ?vtead?ig te be engaged, in any calling, busi ness or profession, in whole or in part, witl limits of the City of Charleston, except tnt gaged in the calling or profession of teact public and private schools, and minist the gospel,") was read. Hayne asked to attach the following amendment t section, after thc word gospel, "Pr? no distinction be made in regard to or color." Hay ne explained that he was ii ed that the City Council had no power to or withhold a license to any one, whethe person had made a distinction in regard to r color or not, and the object of the amendmei to give that body the power they claimet lacked. When the question adopting the a: ment wes put Hayne only voted for, and against it. The Speaker then announced th body generally must vote, whereupon Ii CorbiL and Jillson voted for and none again amendment. TOWNSHIPS. Corbin's bill to amend '.he township ac taken up in the Senate to-day, and after opposition several sections were read. The tors seem disposed to make a law of the 1 bill providing for the repealing of the tow act, which has already received its second lng. Corbin will fight it very hard, but it I probable that he will succeed in his deslg keep alive the township system in South Una. THE TAX LEVY. The joint resolution directing the State Ac and county commissioners to levy certain t received its second reading in the Senate tc after being amended so as to read that the Auditor be required to levy a tax of one hi one per cent, on all taxable property in the S to meet appropriations for the fiscal year And the county commissioners to levy a ta: exceeding three mills on thc dollar on all the able property in their respective counties, ex ing in the following named: Plckens, seven r Beaufort, five mills; Georgetown and Marlb four mills; Marion, five mills. Leslie desired to know of the senator ; Plckens (a Democrat) what was the reason of county having such an excessive levy ; he the it strange that a Democrat, a representatit the party whic1. was always crying ont ag? the Radical pai ly for excessive taxation, sh now demand a aeavy tax. Ralney wanted ii pressly understood that it was a Democratic ator who called for the heavy tax; so that ic next election it could not be said the Republ party did it, and it could not be used as a cm to beat out their brains with. Anyhow, the publican party would win. NOT DEAD. From the recent proceedings relative to phosphate monopoly bill, it was generally < posed that all the opposition to the bill was ki on", but it seems not. To-day, when there wi lull in thc business of the Senate, Hayne m duced the fellowing r?solution, which eifectet mach surprise among a few as did a "quar master's bursting shell" in bellum bursting I commissary and quartermaster's camp, resolution, which was ordered for consid?rai to morrow, ls as follows: Resolved. That his Excellency the Governot respectfully requested to make the necessary qnlrles of the State Inspector of Guano, at City of Charleston, of the present value per of the crude phosphate of lime In the Charles market, of the proximate cost of manufactur said phosphates and other ingredients into commercial fertlllzeraof thc extent and proba value at present prices of the phosphate rock a phosphate deposits in the navigable streams z waters within the jurisdiction of South Caroll and such other Information as he may deem cessary to a proper understanding or the subj? and report the same to this body at as early a ried as practicable. The resolution was ordered for consid?r?t, to-morrow. 17B LABOR QUESTION. The House bill to provide for the better prot tion of laborers and the appointment of a co missioner of contracts in each ccanty, the poii of which were published in THE NEWS of yest day, was taken np in the House to-day. After et sidcrable discussion the farther consideration it was postponed until the 8th of next mon The more prominent of the colored members the House are known to be opposed to the b and it ls generally believed that lt will not pass TAKING A STAND. The bill of James M. Allen, for putting np t Speaker's stand In the House, Axing the chant lier and doing other work about the plat amounting ra all to about $1600, was brought ta the House again to-day. There were numtx less "dilatory motions." Some wanted to p bim (800, others $1000, others $1200, and so o Finally the subject was laid on the table, ai Allen granted time to withdraw his bill. In few moments, therefore, he sent in a messag which was read, stating that as he could not g paid for his work, he would ask leave to take tl Speaker's stand down during the recess. Th raised a storm of indignation. DcLarge, Elllo and Ransier denounced the message as an i; snit to the House. After the storm subside the message was laid on the table. The entii discussion relative to the bill and message o cupied almost two hours. TBS JUDGES. The Senate Judiciary Committee, to whom wi referred the letter of Judge Carpenter, reqnestln an Investigation into bis official conduct, hav not yet reported. It ls understood that thc pa: ties who denounced him so bitterly have decline to prefer any charges. I learn that since Judg Carpenter entered upon the discharge of th duties of his circuit, the flrst of January last, h has disposed of three thousand civil and nia hundred criminal cases. In the House, to-day, Hayne introduced a resc lutlon requesting the appointment of a spccla committee to investigate and report the ofllcia conduct of Judge Rntland. Whipper desired tha the resolution should be referred to the Judlclar, Committee. Elliott favored the appointment? the special committee, saying that there was am pie evidence to Impeach the Judge. DeLarg was inclined "to let the poor old man alone," bu there w as another Judge, of whose Impeachmen there was considerable talk, who might be im peached. The resolution was finally referred ti the Judiciary Committee. There is consideraba feeling against Judge Rutland, and it ls mon than probable that he will be impeached. THE LAND COMMISSION. Brodie, colored, to day in the House, gave no tice that he would introduce at an early day a bill to repeal the act appointing the land com missioner. For some time past there has been a movement on foot among the Representatives tc remove thc land commissioner and abolish hi; ofllcc. This movement, however, supported bj the House, will be frowned n by the Senate so it is not at all probable ti our people will hear of the "Senator from Darn .ell'' being lefi landless. CAUSE. In my last letter I gave a few chapters from tho>secret history of thc gold bill, and to-day I'm able to furnish another. The night before thc bill parsed the House, a colored member, partial? ly interested, whom, for convenience, I shall style A, walked Into a committee room, where sat B, so-called for the present. A ask cd B what was his status upon the gold bill, to which C replied by asking what was his. "Betwixt and between," was the rejoinder; whereupon B said he was opposed to it in toto, because he believed it would haw a tendency io Increase the taxes upon his property, (of a con slderable amount, of which he is thc fortunate possessor,) and he thought he had enough to pay now, without legislating to pay moro. But, said A, suppose the parties Interested in its passage will give you for your vote enough to pay you for increased taxes, and a tittie over, what then ? At this point the conversation was Interrupted. Thc next day A, who thc night berore had been "betwixt and between," voted for and B against the bill. STRAY ITBMS. There ls considerable talk af removing Dr. Parker,.superintendent of the Lunatic Asylum, and placing Dr. A. c. Mackey in his stead. A member of theGcneral Assembly a sheri lime a^o talked of prosecuting a man. The man threatened to display in court a receipt which the member bad given for money received as a br.be, aud now there is na talk of prosecution. L. WASHINGTON.

In the Senate Trumbull urged the consideration of the bill admitting Virginia. Thayer thought this useless, as the bill could not pass before the holidays; furthermore, he had information from Virginia unsatisfactory to him, and intimated that there had been fraud iu thc Virginia election. The bill compensating loyal citizens for vessels lost during the war was passed. The amount in? volved was three hundred and eighty thousand dollars. It goes to the President. In the House the Georgia bill was passed at 3 o'clock, and goes to the President in the following i shape: AN ACT TO PROMOTE TUE RECONSTRUCTION OF GEORGIA. Be il enacted, tte, That Georgia be and hereby is authorized and directed forthwith, by procla? mation, to summon all persons elected to thc General Assembly as appears by proclamation of General Meade, dated June 25, lbos, to appear on some day therein named in the proclamation, at Atlanta, and thereupon said General Assembly shall proceed to perfect Its organizatlou in con? formity with the Constitution and laws of the United States, according to the provisions of this act.

The Georgia Bill-Vigorous Speech of Senator Saulsbury-Direct Trade with Europe-Finance and Taxation. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] WASHINGTON, Deccmi>cr 19. So much has been said in the Radical prints since the meeting or Congress or the "dull har? mony'' o.r things political, and the peace on earth that was to be illustrated In the lying down or the lamb with the lion at this session, that thc spirit or vindictiveness and persecution, which the Senate has just exhibited towards the State of Georgia, was not wholly expected, even by those who do not generally place their faith In Radical promises. That the Senate or the United States, on the eve or a long session, should re? solve itseir into a protracted session or thirteen hours, to wear out, by physical exhaustion, the minority or nine Democratic senators, is a com? ment tn itseir, and carries one tack to the days when it was forced to remain on guard to keep up its unconstitutional warfare on Andrew John? son. lt was not content to reaffirm Hie method or ltsowu reconstruction or Georgia, but went so far as to exact new conditions in coercing ita Legislature into the ratification of the Fifteenth amendment, before readmitting the state to rep sentutlon in Congress. It was not even content to await the action of the Georgia Legislature in January, or to postpone thc bill after thc holiday recess, as was thc understanding in Congress; but has rushed it through thc Senate, and, I doubt not, ere this letter reaches you, will push lt through Hie House under thc gag and rule of the previous question. In the vigor? ous speech of Senator Sainsbury.made on Friday, in which he gave a pointed illustration of the Radical legislation that one day reorganized Georgia In the Union and thc next day declared it out of thc Union-he summed up the bent or this Radical intent: "Slr," said he, with vehemence, ..this is what has been done in my humble judg? ment : the necessity in the estimation of gentle? men-of course 1 do not say in the Senate Cham? ber, but of some gentlemen in the country-that the Republican party as a parly should bc perma? nently seated in the places ol'power; and that they may bc so it becomes necessary to lake away from the people of these States thc power to con? trol their own political government, to legislate for themselves within the limitations of the Con? stitution of thc United S:ateu; and it becomes necessary that legislators selected from different portions or thc country should mould and shape aud form and establish Hie governments in those State?, uot that tue constitution of the country may bc preserved, nea that the rights of the peo? ple may be respected, ?tot that peuce and good or der should everywhere prevail, but that the Re? publican party shall continue In power not only for eight years longer, but for all time to come." Mr. Saulsbnry made sore home thrusts with the facts In this Georgia case. He stated the sit? uation plainly when lie said that after the Legis? lature was organized it was decided by a majori? ty that, under the Constitution of Georgia, thc Fourteenth amendment did not touch the ques? tion of thc power to hold oltlce, did not confer it on the negro race-negroes were not eligible to hold ofllceln Georgia, although they had the right to vote. But it appears by the records of the Leg? islature that when they made that decision they passed a resolution declaring that a case should be made for the decision of thc highest legal tri? bunal of Georgia in respect to that very matter, and expressed as a body their belief that the peo? ple of Georgia would willingly submit to that de? cision; and this resolution Governor Bullock vetoed ! "Kow, slr," said the Delaware senator, addressing the Vtce-Presldent, "does that mani? fest any disposition on the part of the Legislature of Georgia to do otherwise than according to law, and according to law as expounded by the legal tribunal over which Judge Brown, whose loyalty you, sir, and the members of this Senate who act politically with you,- will not question, presides f Did he not seize apon Fort Pulaski, or order lt to be done ? Did he not assent to all the acts of the Confederacy during the progress of the Avar ? But has he not voted the Republican ticket ever since, and was he not a member of thc Chicago Convention ? Can you question his loyalty ? And yet the Legislature of Georgia ts willing to submit thc decision of this question to the court over which such a man, renowned through the whole course of his life for disinter? ested loyalty, presides I" These remarks, which 1 take from the verbatim report, were keenly relished by overflowing gal? leries of spectators, and caused a good deal of cringing on the Radical ?ldc of the Senate. It is a matter of regret that the Imperfect telegraphic digests of tills great debate prevents it from being as widely circulated os it ought to be. The holiday recess bas virtually commenced, and there will bc no legislation of importance till thc second week In January. The tarin* and tax bills, the financial measures, the appropriation bills, Ac, are all laid over till then, lt is difficult to anticipate what will be done on thc most im? portant matter before Congress-the financial question. The session thus far has only indicated one fact-that the House is opposed lo an inila> tion of the currency, unless it takes the shape of substituting an lssne of legal tenders for thc three per cent, certificates held by the National banks now as a part of the reserve fund. In the way of Sontbcrn matters but little has been done. In the Senate the resolutions adopt? ed by the Board of Trade of Norfolk have been presented in favor of thc plans of the Mediter? ranean and Oriental Steam Navigation Company of New York in establishing their line of Ameri? can steamships from the ports of Norfolk, Port Royal, Brunswick and other Southern ports, and approving of the passage ol the bill presented to Congress In relation thereto; which were referred to thc Committee on Postoftlces and Post Roads, and ordered to be printed. As this linc demands no subsidy but the ocean postage*, which thc President, thc Postmaster-General and other officials recommend be given to some line, this . bill will probably pass. It is endorsed by all commercial exchanges, North and South. The company, If they are fully incorporated as they desire to be, will have a portion of their line start from Charleston, S. C. Mr. Sawyer has presented the petition of W. E. Holcombe, of South Carolina, praying the remo? val of bis political disabilities, which have been referred to the select Commit toe on the Removal of Political Disabilities. ZBTA. FOREIGN NEWS. LONDON, December 21. Rio Janerio advices state that the vomito had broken out among the Allied troops. PARIS, December 2L It is reported that Prince Napoleon will soon resume the Presidency of the privy Council. In reference to thc Spanish Republicans banish? ed for intermeddling with the French revolution? ists, Rochefort said in the Corps. "You have only one fear. It Ls the republic. She ls near at hand, and will avenge the wrongs of Frenchmen and Spaniards." Forcade, replying, threatened that the moment the Republicans exchanged speech for action, the government would reduce them to Impotence. SPARKS FROM TUE WIRES. Thc insurgents took the Hudson Bay Com? pany's fort near Rembina, with a number of prisoners. The steamship Bienville met the Spanish gun? boats at sea, sailing finely. A scheme to blow up the Spanish war steamer Pizarro, in New York harbor, was frustrated by Saturday night's storm. The Pewhattan, at Philadelphia, from Key West, encountered a heavy gale and blew out her piston head. TUE SUEZ CANAL. Indian Cotton by the New Transit to Europe-A Coming Revolution in the Trade. Messrs. Ellison A Haywood, of Liverpool, in their last commercial circular, make the follow? ing remarks as to shipments af Indian cotton coming by way ol' Ute Suez Canal: Just now American cotton is relatively dearer than Surats, the margin between middling up? land and fair Dhollerah being about three pence per pound. Two mouths hence we should not be surprised to see this margin reduced to two pence or less, either by a fall in American or a rise in Dhollerah, or a combination of both movements. Early in the new year good Surats will become very scarce. The stock may be replenished via Suez; but it would be a mistake to look for much assistance in '.his direction, fur it is obvious from the latest advices that some time must elapse be? fore tho canal eau be in fair working order. Our Impression is that loo much importance has beeuaitached to the probable infiuence of the new route upon the movements of the luellan crop. Supposing the most sanguine expectations of M. de Lesseps, as in Hie engineering success of his enterprise, to be realized, lt does not follow that Hie canal will bc extremely used by shippers of Indian produce. Everything will depend upon the state or the markets. Hitherto the bulk of the Indian crop has arrived here in the autumn, when the supply or American ls running down: but ir Shipped via Suez lt would arrive here in thu spline and early Bummer, when the supply of American ls large, ls it reasonable to suppose that merchants will hurry their cotton forward by an expensive route to meet the competition or the cream or the American crop- Il the supply or the American is small and prices are thereby en? hanced, no doubt the canal Will be freely used, supposing lt to be in working order; but" il the supply of American is large and prices are there? by depressed, the bulk or the Bombay crop will he detained in india unlil late in the seasou, or sent via the cape, so as to arrive here when the ?-toe? of American is approaching its minimum. Buyers or Surats to arrive are ruled by the same considerations as guide the shippers, hence thc bulk ol the forward contra?is entered imo in the course of thc past mouth has been ror conon to be shipped via the cane. Much of the colton sohl to arrive is sold before it is shipped, and ir mer? chants find it less easy to sell via Suez than by? way of the cape, they will sell by the latter route", ami telegraph shippings accordingly. Prices will fluctuate according to circumstances. In Atneri can cotton sometimes distant parcels are higher priced than near ones, and sometimes near cot? ton is higher priced than distant. So it will be with the lud an crop; at times canal cotton will bc cheaper than cape, and at other times cape will be cheaper than canal. Hf course. In writing Hun we assume that the canal will always be navigable hy large, or, at all events, by average sized steamers. -The San Francisco Chinese Sunday schools are reported to be in a very nourishing condition.

The history" of the cotton trade will be divided Into four periods: L The Invention of the cotton gin by Whitney, which greatly Increased the cul? ture of cotton. 2. The acquisition of a large re? gion of cotton territory, in 1803, by the purchase of Louisiana, and thc admission Into the Union of Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas, by which a further great extension was given to the cotton culture. 3. The gold discoveries, in connection: with the enlargement of free trade, by which an addltlonal impulse was Imparted to the cotton trade, down to thc year 1860. 4.
