In tho House the bills to render heller pro?
tection to migratory usn; to amend thc law In re?
lation to licenses; to require the registration of
apothecaries, and to regulate the vending of
drugs nnd poisons, received their sceond reading,
The bills to give equal rights before law to all
colors, and to consent to tho sale of certain lands
to thc United States, received their first reading.
Tuc bills to extend thc limits of Columbia, and
to Incorporate thc Slimier Manufacturing Com?
pany, were passed and sent to the Senate.
In thc Senate hut little was done. The friends
of thc bill repealing tho Township aol filibustered
and succeeded in staring on" action.
Corbin was cocked and primed with a big
speech on the phosphate monopoly bill, but no op?
portunity was allowed to get it off. Cain made
a long speech in favor of postponing lt, and noth?
ing now can be done with lt until after thc recess.
A very poor prospect exists of Its pnssage even
then, though a number of Charlcstonlnns arc
here to fight both for and against the hill.
In thc joint nsscmbly of thc Legislature, Bose
raon, colored, from Charleston, Senator Nash,
colored, and Henry Sparnlck, were elected re?
gents or the State Lunatic Asylum. Six were to
have been elected, and Elliott appealed from thc
decision or Corbin, and thc assembly was dissolv?
ed amid confusion.

COLUMDIA, December 2?.
TOE PROXIES.
lu the Senate to-day a message lrom the
House Insisting that the "Honorable Senate" con?
cur in Hie resolution of the House appointing the
proxies to represent /jb? Interest of the State in
the Spartanburg and Union Railroad, was taken
up. Leslie, arter some remarks In regard to the
rights or each body and thc plan of thc House to
assume more of them than seemed Just, mored to
rerer thc whole matter to thc Railroad Committee.
There was some slight demur to this motion, and
Leslie proceeded to explain his reasons for
making the motion. He said, substantially,
that thc 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 thc Laurens Railroad;) the cou
pous of the road were now floating about New
York and thc holders aBklng for payment, but
they received lt not; the State would or could
not pay, and such a state of things was bringing
the Stale Into contempt; lt were belter that the
affairs of the road be wound up at once. He was
in favor of the Railroad Committees of each body
being appointed a Joint committee to investigate
the affairs of thc 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.
GKASriNO.
Soon after the House was called to order a con?
current resolution WOB Introduced and passed,
providing that the clerks of that body and of the
Senate be Instructed to Issue at once pay certifi?
cates to members for their per diem from the 23d
of November, 1809, to January 6,1870. When thc
resolution came before the Senate, Corbin at once
moved to strike out the words "January 6,1870,*'
and Insert in lieu thereof "December 23,1869."
Arter a little mibnstcring, a motion to rerer the
resolution to the Finance Committee was made,
whereupon Jillson and Cain added ."with Instruc?
tions lo report in five minnies." ne last motion
was lost and Corbin's carried. Shortly after this
a message came from the House stating that lt
refused to cone*- In the amendment, insisted
upon the adoption of the resolution, and request?
ed a committee or conference. Corbin, Jillson
and Cain were appointed on the part of the Sen?
ate, anti met thc House, committee, when [t was
determined to receive the per diem daring the
holidays.
. Last year lt was resolved not to receive the per
diem during the recess, and resolutions offered
afterward to rescind that resolution were re?
elected. Uni each vlrtnous resolutions could not
last. Thia year the members not only receive pay
for doing nothing during a recess, but draw it
in advance, doubtless fearing that if they de?
layed that deilghif ul operation, some economical
ones would, arter thc 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 thc 28d of this to the 6th of next month,
thirteen days. The pay of one hundred and fifty
senators and representatives for thirteen days, at
six dollars per day, will amount to tho respectable
Bum Of ELEVEN TuOU8A*I> SEVEN HUNDRED DOL
LARS.
BARNWELL COURTHOUSE.
The Rouse bill to change thc location ' ?no
county scat or Barnwell County back frc o l?aek
vllle to Barnwell Courthouse was taken >, a the
Senate to-day and referred to the Judiciary Com?
mittee, Let-lie favored Bs being so roferrcd, and
Bald substantially that no matter where thc
t county sent was located, there would bo a great
I many persons in tho county dissatisfied. Ono
^luilf of the voting population of tito county lived
along the railroad, and to I hese Blackville was
the most convenient, The fault was that the
county, Uko Beaufort, was too largo, and the
Ctol y plan to remedy the evil was that favored by
L "sonic of the best minds or the State-to bunch tho
' tier of conntie? rrom Beaufort to Abbeville-Beau?
fort, Collcton, Barnwell, Orangeburg, Ac, and
cut two or three new counties out of them. By
that means courthouses could be loeated In the
counties of Barnwell and Beaufort, which would
bc easily aoccsslblc to all the inhabitants, which
could not be done now because of the size of tho
countl?. Ho boped the Judiciary Committee
would report a bin or some measure which would
settle the Barnwell Court nousc question satisfac?
torily.
EQUALITY.
In thc Senate to-day tho bill " to regulate the
assessment of taxation of personal property in
tho City of charleston" was taken np for tho third
reading, when thc seventh action (which pro?
vides that " tho City Connell be authorized to re?
quire tho payment of such sum orsums>of money,
for license or licenses, as In their Judgment bo
i .just and wise, by any person or persons engaged,
\ or intending tc bc engaged In any calling, bual- j
n?es or profession, lu whole or In pnrt, within the
limits of thc City of Charlrstou, except those en?
gaged In thc culling or profession uf teachers or
public and private Schools, and ministers or
thc gospel,*') wat read. Haync asked I cave
lo attach the following nmcnduient to the
section, after thc word gospel, "Provided
?10 distinction he made In regard to race
or color." May nc explained that he wns Inform?
ed thal the City Council had no power to grant
or withhold a license to any ono, whether thal
person lind made a distinction in regard to race or
color or not, and thc object or the amendment was
to give that body the power they claimed they
lacked, when thc question adopting th? amend?
ment was put llayne only^-olcd tor, and none
against it. Thc Speaker then announced that thc
body generally must vote, whereupon Mayne,
Corbin and Jlllson voted for and none against thc
amendment.
TOWNSHIPS.
Corbin's bill to nmcud thc township uct wns
taken up In the Senate to-day, and after much
opposition several sections were read. Thc sena?
tors seem disposed to make a law of thc llousc
bill providing lor thc repealing or thc township
act, which has already received UH second read?
ing. Corbin will fight It very hard, but ll ls not
probable that he will succeed In lils designs to
keep alive the township system in South Caro?
lina.
THE TAX LEVY.
Thc joint resolution directing thc State Auditor
and county commissioners tn levy certain taxes,
received Its second rcaditig In the Senate to-day,
after being amended so as to read that the State
Auditor be required to levy a tax of one hair or
one per cent, on all taxable property lu tuc State,
to meet appropriations tor the liscal year isi"<9.
And the county commissioners to levy a tax not
exceeding three mills on thc dollar on all thc tax?
able properly lu their respective counties, except?
ing In thc following named: Pickens, seven mills;
Ilennfort, live mills: Georgetown" nnd Marlboro',
four mills; Marlon, five mills.
Leslie desired to know or thc senator from
Pickens (n Democrat) what was thc reason of that
county having such an excessive levy; he thought
lt strange that'a Democrat, a representative or
thc party which was always crying out against
the Radical party for excessive taxation, Hbould
now demand a heavy tax. Raincy wanted lt ex?
pressly understood that lt was a Democratic sen?
ator who called for the heavy tax; so that in the
next election lt coulu not bc said thc Republican
party did lt. and it could not bc used as n cudgel
to beat ont'.heir brains with. Anyhow, the Re?
publican party would win.
NOT DEAD.
From thc recent proceedings relative to the
phosphine monopoly bill, lc was generally sup?
posed that allthc opposition to thc bill wan kilted
off, btu it seems not. To-day, when there was a
lull In thc business or tho Senate, Haync intro?
duced thc following resolution, which effected as
much surprise among a few as did a "quarter?
master's bursting shell" In bellum bursting In a
commissary und quartermaster's camp. The
rcsolutlou, which was ordered for consideration
to-morrow, ls as follows:
Ilesoivra. That his Excellency thc Governor he
respectfully requested lo make thc necessary In?
quiries or thc State Inspector of Guano, at thc
City of Charleston, or the present value per ton
of thc crude phosphate of lime in the Charleston
market, ol thc proximate cost of manufacturing
suld phosphates and other ingredients into the
commercial fertilizer, or thc extent and probubkj
value at present prices of the phosphate rock and
phosphate deposits In thc navigable streams and
waters within the Jurisdiction or South Carolina,
and such other Information as he moy deem ne?
cessary to a proper understanding or the subject,
and report the sanie to this body at as early a pe?
riod as practicable.
The resolution was ordered for consideration
to-morrow.
TUE l.ADOll QUESTION.
The House bill to provide for the better protec?
tion nt laborer* and tho appointment or a com?
missioner or contracts in each county, the points
or which were published in THE NEWS or yester?
day, was taken up in thc House to-day. Arter con?
siderable discussion thc further consideration ol
lt was postponed until the 8th of next month.
The more prominent of the colored members ol
thc House arc known to be opposed to the bill,
and it is generally believed that it will not pass.
TAK1NO A STAND.
The bill or James M. Allen, for putting jip thc
Speaker's stand In the House, Axing the chande?
lier and doing other work about the place,
amounting In all to about $1500, was brough*, up
In the House again to-day. Thcro were nv ri.ocr
less '''dilatory motions." Some wanted to pay
him (800, others $1000, others $1200, and BO on.
Finally thc subject was laid on the table, and
Allen granted time to withdraw his bill. In a
few moments, therefore, he sent in a message,
which was read, stating that as he could not get
paid for his work, he would ask leave to take thc
Speaker's stand down daring the recess. This
raised ii storm or indignation.' Del.arge, Elliott
and Ransler denounced the message as cn In?
sult to the House. Arter tito storm subsided,
the message was laid on the table. The entire
discussion relative to the bill and message oc?
cupied almost two hours.
TUE JP DO BS.
Thc Senate Judiciary Committee, to whom was
referred the letter of Judge Carpenter, requesting
an Investigation Into his official conduct, have
not yet reported. It is understood that the par?
ties who denounced him so bitterly have declined
to prefer any charges. I learn that since Judge
Carpenter entered upon thc discharge of thc
duties of his circuit, the first of January last, he
bas disposed or three theusand civil and nlm
hundred criminal cases.
In thc Hause, to-day, Hayna Introdiced a reso
lotion requesting the appointment of a specie'
committee to Investigate and report the officia
conduct or Judge Rutlaud. Whipper desired thai
the resolution should bo referred to the Judiciary
Committee. Elliott favored tho appointment .
the special committee, saying that there was am
pie evidence to Impeaeh the Judge. DeLargi
was inclined "to let the poor old man alene," bu
there was anothsr Judge, of whose impcachmen
lhere was considerable talk, who might be 1m
peached. The resolution was Anally referred tc
the Judiciary Committee. There is consldernbh
feeling against Judge Rutlaud, and it ls mon
than probable that he will be Impeached.
TBE LAND COMMISSION.
Brodie, colored, to day in the House, gave no
tico that ho would Introduce at an early day ti
bill to repeal tho act appointing tho land com
missioner. For somo time past there hos been t
movement on foot among the Representatives ti
remove the land commissioner and abolish hi
office. This movement, however, supported b;
thc House, will be frowned down by thc Senat?
soll ls not at all probable that Olli people wll
hear of the "Senator :r0m Dara well" being lei
landless,

In my last letter I gave a few chapters frot

The Georgia Ulli-Vigorous Speech of
Senator Haulibury- Direct Trade with

[FROM OUR OWN CO R KKSFON DENT. ]
WASHINQTON, December if.
Bo muc.h has been said in the Radical prints
since the meeting of Congress of the "dull har?
mony" of things political, and the peace on earth
that was to be illustrated in the lying down
of thc lamb with the Hon at this session, that the
spirit of 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 thc Senate or the United
States, on the eve or a long session, should re?
solve itself Into a protracted session or thirteen
hours, to wear out, by physical exhaustion, the
minority of nine Democratic senators, ls a com?
ment in Itself, and carries one back to the days
when it was forced to remain on guard to keep
up RB unconstitutional warfare on Andrew John?
son. It was not content to rca (Ib m tho method
or its own reconstruction of Georgia, bnt went so
far as to exact new conditions In coercing its
Legislature Into the ratification or the Fifteenth
amendment before readmitting thc State to rep
sentatlon in Congress, lt was not even content
to await the action of the Georgia Legislature in
January, or lo postpone thc bill after thc holiday
recess, as was the understanding in Congress;
but has rushed it through the Senate, and, I
doubt not, ero this letter reaches yon, will
push it through the House under tho gag
and rule or the previous question. In the vigor?
ous speech or Senator Sainsbury .made on Friday,
In which he gave a pointed illustration or tho
Radical legislation that one day reorganized
Georgia lu thc Union and thc next day declared lt
ont or thc Union-he summed up the bent or this
Radical Intent: " Sir," said he, with vehemence,
"this ls what has been done In roy humble Judg?
ment : the necessity In the estimation of gentle?
men-of course I do not say In the Senate Cham?
ber, but or some gentlemen In thc country-that
thc Republican party as a party should be perma?
nently scated In tho places or power; and that
they may bc so lt becomes necessary to toke away
from the people of these States thc power to con?
trol their own political government, to legislate
for themselves within the limitations or the Con?
stitution of the United States; and lt becomes
nee ess a v that legislators selected from different
portion? of tho country should mould and shape
and form and establish tho governments In those
Stat 's, not that the constitution of thc country
niay be preservo), not that thc rights of the peo?
ple mny he respected, not tha( peace ana good or
Uer should everywhere prevail, Out that the Me
publican party shall continu^ in pincer not only
for eight years longer, uutfor.all time to come."
Mr. Sainsbury made some ihr ? ??s thrusts with
tho facts In this Georgia case, j itu stated thc sit?
uation plaluly when he said that Rifler the Legis?
lature was organized lt was decided by a majori?
ty that, under the Constitution or Georgia, the
Fourteenth amendment did not touch the ques?
tion or thc power to hold office, did not confer lt
on thc negro race-negroes wee not eligible to
hold office In Georgia, although they had thc right
to vote. But it appears by tho records or thc Leg?
islature that when they made that decision they
passed a resolution declaring Cat a case should
bc made fur the decision of the highest legal tri?
bunal of Georgia In respect to that very matter,
and expressed us a body their beef that the peo?
ple or Georgia woufd willingly ?ubmli to that de?
cision; and this resolution Governor Hu Hock
vetoed 1 "Now, slr," said thc Delaware senator,
addressing the vice-President, "docs that mnnl
rcsl uny disposition on thc part or thc Legislature
or Gc-'rgia to do otherwise C?an according to
law, and according lo law as expounded hy thc
legal tribunal over which Judge brown, whose
loy uiiy you, slr, and the members or this Senate
who act politically with you, will not question,
presides r Did he not seize upci Fort Pulaski, or
order it to bc dono t Did he no'assent to all the
acts or thc Confederacy during the progress of
thc war * Hut has bc not voted thc llcpubllcau
ticket ever since, and was he not a member or
thc Chicago Convention f Can you question his
loyalty ? And yet thc Legislature or Georgia ls
willing to submit thc decision ot this question, to
thc court over which such ti mnn, renowned
through thc whole course of hiv life for disinter?
ested loyalty, presides !"
These remarks, which 1 take from thc verhatirfx
report, were keenly relished by overdo wing gal?
leries of spectators, and caused a good deal or
cringing on the Itadlcal side or thc Senate, ll ls
a maller or regret that thc imperfect telegraphic
digests or this great debate preven?s it rrnm
being ns widely circulated as lt ought to bc.
Thc holiday recess has'virtually commenced,
mid there will be no legislation 9.r importance till
thc second week in-January. Tic tariir and tax
bills, the financial measures, thc appropriation
bills, Ac, are all laid over till Hun. Il ls dinicnll
to anticipate what will be done pn thc most Im?
portant, matter before Congress-the financial
question. Thc session thusTnr has only Indicated
one fact-thal thc House ls opposed to an Infla?
tion or thc currency, unless lt takes the shape or
substituting an Issue or legal tenders for thu
three per cent, certliicatcs held Viy the National
banks uow as a pan or the rescite rund.
In th? way or Southern matters bnt little has
been done. In the Senate thc resolutions adopt?
ed by the Hoard of Trade of Norfolk have been
presented in favor or the plans or the Mediter?
ranean and Oriental Steam Navigation Company
or New York In establishing their linc or Ameri?
can steamships from the ports of Norfolk, Port
Koral, brunswick and other Southern ports, and
approving or thc passage ol the Lill presented lo
Congress In relation thereto; which were referred
to the Committee on Postofllccs ?nd Post Hoads,
and ordered to be printed. As this linc demands
no subsidy bul the ocean postages, which thc
Pr?sident, thc Postmaster-General and other
officials recommend be given to some line, this
bill will probably pass. It ls endorsed by all
commercial exchanges, North and South. Thc

ing remarks aa to shipments of Indian cotton
coming by way of the Suez Canal:
Just now American cotton ls relatively dearer
than Surats, thc margin between middling up?
land and fair DhcOlcrali being about three pence
per pound. Two months 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
Dhoilerah, 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 lt would he a mistake to look for much
assistance in this direction, for it ls obvious from
thc latest advices that some limo must elapse be?
fore the canal can be in fair working order. Our
Impression ts that too much Importance has
boen attached i? the probable influence of the new
route upon the movements of the Indian crop.
Supposing the most sanguine expectations of M.
de Lesseps, as In the engineering success or bis
enterprise, to be realized, ll a0cs not rollow that
the canal will be extremely used by shippers of
Indian produce. Everything will dtpomf npon
the state ol the markets. Hitherto thc omi or
the Indian crop has arrived here In tho autumn,
when the supply of American is running down;
but If shipped via Suez lt would arrive here In the
spring and early summer, when the supply of
American ls large. Is lt reasonable to suppose
that merchants will hurry their colton forward
by an expensive rontc to meet the competition or
the cream of the American crop? If tho supply or
the American ls small and prices arc thereby en?
hanced, no doubt the canal will be freely used,
supposing lt to be In working order; but tr the
supply or American ls large and prices aro there?
by depressed, the bnlk of the Bombay crop will
be detained In India until late In tho season, or
sent via the cape, so as to arrive here when tho
stock of American ls approaching its minimum.
Buyers or Bursts to arrive aro ruled by thc same
considerations as guido the shippers, hence the
bulk of the forward contracts entered into In the
course of the past mouth has been for cotton to
be shipped via the cape. Much or the cotton sold
to arrive ls sold before it ls shipped, and if mer?
chants find lt leas easy to sell via Suez than by
way of the cape, they will sell by the latter route,
and telegraph shippings accordingly. Prices will
fluctuate according to circumstances. In Amer!
can cotton sometimes distant parcels aro higher
priced than near ones, and sometimes near cot?
ton ls higher priced than distant. Bo lt will bo
with the Ind'an crop; at times canal cotton will
bo cheaper than cape, and at other times cape
will be cheaper than canal.
Of course, in writing thus we assume that the
canal will always bc navigable by large, or, at all
events, by average sized steamers.
