tain thc appeal. Considerable confusion ensued.
Thc senators seemed to think that they were Im?
posed upon,' and showed a disposition to retire
from tho Held, whereupon Whipper moved that
the joint assembly adjourn, which motion was
considered corrlcd and the Senate retired, amid
confusion. -?

p - AN ALLEOBD TRICE.
? As was predicted, tho opponents of the bill re
a. pealing the township act have struggled hard to
Bs]?revent as passage. Yesterday the friends of the
bill coiled lt up to receive ita third reading, but lt
was not to be found. Considerable grumbling
ensued, and thc opponents wee accused of hav?
ing hld it to keep lt back till Corbin's amendment
lo thc township act could bc passed; which accu?
sation was indignantly denied. Last night Ar?
nim Introduced th' folio wini; preamble and reso?
lutions, which where laid over for consideration
to-day:
Whereas, A bill to repeal an act entitled "An
act to organize townships and demie their pow?
ers and privileges," has passed its third reading
in the House of Representatives and two readings
in tie Senate, and being ordered tobe engrossed;
and whereas, the engrossing clerk hos delivered
both bills, thc orginal House and the engrossed
bill, to tho Committee on Engrossed Bill?, but the
chairman or that committee denies its acception,
therefore
Ifijsoiivd, That a protestation should bc made
Muhscribed by the members, before Almighty
|Bnd this hanorublc Senate, that neither my
?For any other, to my knowledge, have taken
?t, or do, at this present, conceal a bill entitled
WMiel to organize townships," Ac.
Hs morning thc bill was found on thc clerk's
pk, having been laid there during thc night.
ie friends of thc bill, who are also opposed to
thc phosphate monopoly, wore' determined to
(t> hore their bill considered to day ir possible, and
thus prevent the consideration of tho other. They
?? manoeuvred so well that neither was considered.
Mt ' THE TAX LEVY.
K#Xhe concurrent resolution providing for tho
'levying or taxes to meet tho expenditures for mo,
was tu ken up in tho Senate early to-day for lt?
third reading. Leslie thought that Barnwell
County should have a levy of four mills on thc
dollar, as a courthouse and Jail was to be built.
Donaldson moved to amend tho resolution so as
to provide that only two mills on the dollar be
levied in all connues, excepting those specially
cxccptci. Corbin thought that amount was suf
9 flclent, especially for Charleston County, which
didn't wish to pay all, or nearly all, or the taxes,
as lt had been doing heretofore.
OlIARLESTSN COPNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Thc mention or Charleston County brought
Cain up nil standing, ready and willing to make
a sp:cch, and he spoke et length, substantially
ns follows: Two mills on tho dollar will give eui
commissioners $100,00?. I think tb?v can spend
k that. I believe Hist thc more wc them Hie
I less work they will do. Out of of Hu
?^-te ilk s of Charleston, they have done ! ttlo 01
work; In fact, nearly all of the work th the)
Iiiivo dona hu? been Inside of the city limits. I
um wilting to give Hiern another chance though,
hut I want them to understand that hereafter
they will he watched with sleepless vigilance. It
ls true thal the loni; list wc have against them
might now be brought up, but, perhaps, if we
pass their Imperfections by, they will do better.
There has not been ono brh'.gc made In thc coun?
ty. (100,000 have liccn spent by the. commis?
sioners since last session, hut lt has been spent
Inside of Charleston, to the detriment or the
county. Hy thc way, thc returns of these com?
missioners do not show Tor what thc money was
spent. They show who received thc money, but
not ror what they received lt.
Corbin and Donaldson protested against the
levying or three millson thc dollar as an outrage;
arter which it was resolved to strike out thc
word three, and substitute two; also lo allow a
levy or four mills-on the dollar for Barnwell
County. Thc resolution as amended was sent to
thc House, which refused to concur in thc amend?
ments, and a oom mit tee or conrcrenco was ap?
pointed rroin each body.
THE ritos ni ATE M os oro I. v.
Thc presence or o large number or strangers,
among whom were severn) Charleslonlans, in thc
gallery or thc Senate to-day, betokened that sonic
(picstlon of moro than usual Importance was
coming up. Yes, a question or Importance was
to bc brought up. It was thc "Bill to grant to
certain persons therein named thc exclusive right
to dig and minc In Hie beds of thc navigable
streams and waters of thc State or South Caro?
lina ror phosphate rocks and pliosphatlc de?
posits."
Thc Trlends of thc bill impatiently waited for
the hour or one-thc time appointed for thc con?
sideration of thc bill-and as the hands pointed
to that hour, their eyes were turned upon Cor?
bin, with looks which seemed to soy, "now the
thunderer will begin." Corbin "looked foll of
speech," and was evidently fully prepared to let
the senators have thc ?cnettt or all thc ideas he
had "crammed" on thc subject. But Just at this
moment the Speaker announced that the hour
had arrived ror meeting tn Joint assembly, and
the senators went Into the House. When they
returned into the Senate Chamber it was 2 o'clock.
The supporters ot thc bill repealing the township
act desired to bring up their bill, but falling in
this, determined to appose thc consid?ration or
the phosphate bill, and made numerous motions
to postpone a consideration ol lt until arter the
recess. Haync Intimated that lt was a wholesale
attempt to rob thc State, and that several or the
senators seemed very much interested in having
ita objects accomplished.
WU AT CAIN SAID.
Atter every one was wearied out by thc "dila?
tory motions," Coin secured the floor and speke
substantially as follows: 1 wish to announce
that I am In favor or a bill which will do justice
to all parties. A bill of so much moment as this,
alTectlDg the intcrestsof a whole people, certainly
requires the coolest consid?ration, hence my mo?
tion to postpone until thc 26th day or January. I
have no disposition to cut on* discussion, hut
rather want lt. 1 want to examine the phos?
phates, thc beds, tho streams, Jiow they run; 1
want to find out their value when pulverized,
when mixed with liquids, with acids; then I
want to sec thc resolts In gold and greenbacks;
then I can discuss the thing fairly, aud tell how
much it ls worth to the parties, to the State; how
much each ought to he allowed-these arc thc
matters tiist aro running through my mind like
lightning, but I am not Toady to take
up thc subject now. Possibly, my col?
league moy be ready; may know more about.
_ihn mutter than thc rest of us. Possibly, he's run?
ning over with more reasons than Demosthenes
over had. Possibly he has len or twenty thous?
and reatotis; bot I want to get these- reasonsjfo
gother, I want to collect the best evidences to
And out all the minutia* appertaining to the
whole matter. A question or such moment we
Should discuss understandingly. Theso great
phosphates are like the gold mines or California,
possibly to bc the gold mines or South Carolina,
destined to rejuvenate this State, and bring about
audra state or things as never was seen before.
Thc men engaged in it will doubtless receive
some of the benefits, but I wish the rich and
poor, tho white and blask, the Democrats and
Republicans, all to have a fair chance; and I
want to discuss and know the whole subject, from
Dan to Beersheba. I cannot, for the lire of me,
sec why my colleague from Charleston (Corbin]
docs not wish us to take time to discuss this qucs
Hon; he certainly will have es good an opportu
ni ty when it comes up as tho rest or us. I think
some persons have Intimated some offices whlct
I know he is anxious to wipe out, but non?
or us who know him believe these things; we al!
know him to bc an honest and conscientious mar
in all transactions; at the same time I do not sei
why he'll not accept the opportunity, when th?
question comes up, to discuss lt. He is a cool
clear-headed man, and has thc advantage or m
in superiority or mimi; then he has Studied tbi
subject, and also knows more about thc parties
thc various Interests, manufactures, agriculture
chemicals, and every other question connectci
with it; ho has thc whole thing at his angers
ends. We poor fellows have got to dive dowi
among thc stones, debil*, marsh, and search ou
by practical examination. Uy friends fron
Richland and Sumter, and Chester and Marlon
can't sec thc thing, or.can't sec it as clear as rn;
colleague. Why not give us poor men a chance ti
discuss the question. I desire time to know wha
thc people want. Thc fishermen have laid ashli
their smacks, tho sailors abandoned their ships
thc lawycrsjald aside their dusty IdT? hooks, tu
merchants and the men now engaged In pitos
photo workings, arc all Interested tn thc bill.
WHAT C0HB1N SAID.
About 3 o'clock Cq;oln got an opportunity i
soy the follow^g; The Senate seems to be actut
ted id this matter by a most unaccountable pai
Sion-as though it was something wrong, som?
thing that ought not to be entertained. I don
know whether lt ought to pass or not, but I thin
lt ought to bc considered fairly. Those who in tn
duccd this measure aro anxious to sec. lt consli
cred, and they arc entitled to conslderatioi
Why ts It, then, thal members, without giving t
an opportunity of being heard, without knowla
what we propose to do, without understands
or giving us an opportunity of explaining ou
selves to them, or to the country, vote to shi
our mouths, and will not allow us to be hear?
That ls not the treatment ono senator e;
pects from another. I wish simply to BO
that the press and the country have chosen, an
various Individuals Interested havo chosen, i
malign and vim ry us and say all manner
things against us, because we have introduce
this bill. I do beg (he senators to glvo mc un o
por tn nit y of saying ? word about the bill; then
they want to kill it, let them so vote. But I i
want to reply to what has appeared in publ
prints. Alter I have had. my Bay I do not taro
tho bill ls postponed, lr senators then say th
they want further time to consider lt, 1 will ha
no o'i'Jc:Uon.
After this speech tho Senate adjourned. T
supporters or the "Bone bill" determined to ta
some action In regard to lt during tho night s
sion. The opposera of tho bill got there In for
and at tho hour appointed Hoyne 'called thc sci
tors to ord' r and Wlmbush to the chair. 1

A Washington letter to thc Baltimore Ga?
zette says:
Thc Fremont party arc not making much pro?
gress here In their lobby schemes In behalt of thc
Memphis and El Paso Railroad. Their past his?
tory ls against them. They hove notoriously railed
to keep former pledges, and there ls no reason to
believe i hat they will keep those mode now. It ls
not believed that they have either the means or the
ability to carry out thc undertaking successfully.
There are, however, others who eau and will com?
plete the road and give the Sooth a great high?
way to the Pacific. It ls said they will come for?
ward in good time. They will first apply to thc
Texas Legislature for a charter, that granted to
Fremont and company having expired, and there
being no probability or its renewal. Those in thc
interest of the Fremont party have taken great
pulns to spread abroad thc Impression thal there
Is no lobby scheme, and that only a ?impie right

The Franking Nul HO nc c.
The Senate Postal Committee are in a quandary
concerning what shall bc done about the abolish?
ment of the franking privilege.
They cannot bear lo jleld up this very impor?
tant franchise, so useful during campaign times,
and yet the recommendations or thc Postmaster
General are not to be despised, especially In view
or the lusty row ol figures presented In his annu?
al report for deficiency, lt hos been proposed In
tho committee to substitute an apportionment of
postage stamps to each senator and member In
place or the frank now allowed by law. But this
measure docs not seem to meet the case, as lt
would only be a dodge under which thc expenses
of the government on this account would be per?
petuated in another form. Some recommenda?
tions must needs be made, ir only for the sake or
appearances, and thc chances arc about even that
thc old game will continue. But thc Postmaster
General seems determined to carry hts point, and
has given orders that all free mall matter going
through thc postofllce daring the next six months
shall bc weighed, In order that thc country may
know how much it pays annually to bestow .this
luxury on Rs legislators.
A Spock ot War.
Tho President has como into collision with thc
Senate. In executive session a resolution was
pussed dem; nding or Mr. Grant all the letters, In?
dorsements, and other papers upon which be
based lils nominations for Circuit Court Judges.
It ls strongly suspected that his Excellency has
made several or thc weaker appointments on lils
own responsibility, and without any outside
recommendation.. A committee waited on thc
President with thc request and met with a point
blank refusal, und an Intimation that thc Senate
had better mind its own business, lt is presumed
now that the august body will toko vengeance by
rejecting the obnoxious appointments.
Stanton's Appointment to thc Supreme
Bench.
A Washington letter of Saturday says:
The President, accompanied by Vice-rrealdcnt
Colfax, this afternoon called upon lion. Edwin
M. Stanton, and stated to him that at some timo
prior lo the date at which Judgo Grier's resigna?
tion takes effect, he should nomlnato him to the
Senate for the position of Associate Justice, thus
made vacant. So rar as Mr. Stanton ls cunee rn ed,
this tender was unsolicited, as I believe ho had
not permitted any one to understand that he was
a candidate for the position. The President thus
not only gratifies his own desire to make so flt
au appointment, but he recognizes a strong foci
lng among the ablest men of the Republican
Sarty, who have expressed a hope to see Mr.
taman placed on the bench. As ono gentleman
has forcibly said, "It ls equal to a constitutional
amendment." Every Republican senator Have
three, on Friday joined In an unsolicited request
for this appointment, and yesterday a largo num?
ber of thc members of the House made a similar
request In a similar manner. It ls understood
that Mr. Stanton signified to thc President lils
acceptance of the appointment.

Dr. Stilnp submitted tho report of the Commit?
tee on Education. Wofford College, though not
prosperous, has enjoyed a year of some encour?
agement. We nCv*d not refer particularly to ita
faculty.
Davenport Female College is In a prosperous
condition. It ls iucated lu Lenoir' N. C., Rev.
Samuel Landers, president. All but one of the
students were converted during the past year.
Spartanburg Female College was forced into
bankruptcy and sold during tuc past year. It ls
now In the hands of Rev. S. B. Jones, of this
Conference, and Rev. J. 8. Smith, who ask the
patronage or the Con le reu cc, willoh was agreed to.
The following Is thc Board or Trustees for Co?

A. A. Gilbert, of Sumter, addressed tho Confer?
ence upon the importance of fostering, by every
laudable effort, the Interests of Woiford College.
It will certainly contribute Immensely to the vi?
tality of Methodism for such able and distinguish?
ed laymen to exhort preachers to their duty.
lav. v. A. Sharpe protested against the want of
Interest in Woiford College on the part or the
clergy. He regarded Hs success of vital impor?
tance to the church.
Kev. Dr. Myers had been engaged in error ts to
revive a similar institution-Emory College : had
done what he could for Woiford College. Other
collectiob? should bc met. but we want men
strengthened by education to bring np these col?
lections. We musi, therefore, hold un our insti?
tutions of learning. We are approaching a con?
flict not oxcecded In severity any that ha's taken
place Blncc the day when Paul preached at Athens,
and we must have educated men to meet lt.
S. Bobo, Esq., of Spartanburg, urged that our
ministry are not educated; wu Hiiaii lose caste tn
society. The graduates of Welford College are
prepared to take position and wield an influence
upon men of learning as well as others. Oe met
with one of them thc other day as delegate to a
district meeting an a superintendent of a Sunday
School. He thinks the ministry ought to preach
about and explain thc obligation to give. If he
wanted to get up a shout at camp-raeetlng, he
would take one of these texts about giving. The
proper presentation of Mils class of subjects could
not fall to awaken a thrill of Joy in every heart.
Rev. E. J. Moy nardie called attention to Hie
fact that thc existing government had contribu?
ted to the overthrow of the North Carolina Con?
ference, but tho circumstance lind contributed to
build up Trinity College. That Institution had
about one hundred and fifty students at Its last
session, and Methodist preachers ot that Confer?
ence had made that prosperity for lt. Tho same
state 01? things prevails In tris Slate, and WotTord
College might bc rahed to thc same degree or
prosperity If WC will put forth the necessary ef?
fort.
Rev. 8. Lander presented thc claims, and spe?
cially described thc condition of Davenport Col?
lege. It ls worthy ol support. Ho also denied
the chargo that he had sought his appointment
to thc presidency or that Institution. He was au
Itinerant In spirit and fact.
The report of the committee lo audit the ac?
counts of Woiford College was submitted and
adopted,
A collection was ordered to be taken ap In the
month of February to defray tho expenses ot dele?
gates to the Genoral Conference.
By resolution, the third Friday In April was set

served throughout all our circles and stations In
sp?cial reference to tho blessing or God upon our
General Conforcnce.
A memorial rrom Marlon District meeting, in

K INO STREE, December 21.
For some lime past there has been R dearth
or news In these parts, the crops having been
gathered and consequently that theme exhausted,
and there bel?g no important events to chronicle.
Thc political atmosphere has been still, too, over
since the blatant voice or thc strong-lunged Whit
temore Rounded in the cars or his dusky con?
stituents, some time since, a Dill account or
which appeared in your columns. Ry thc
way, Wnlitemore did not make mach by his
attempted denunciation ot the "Star," for
the worthy ?nd gentlemanly editor of that
paper, R. C. Logan, Esq., who wields a
graceful and when ocsaslon demauds lt, a point?
ed pen, and is one or the very staunchest defend?
ers of sound Democratic principles, administered
to him such a castigation in hi? columns, as
could only be unfelt by thc hide or a rhinoceros.
Such papers as TUE NEWS and the star arc
thoms In the side or Whlltomsre and lils crew,
and, probably, obnoxious also to those who ad?
vocate a time-serving policy. Their noble and
manly cirons In thc causo of Justice and truth
will surely bc gratefully remembered when onr
good old Slate rises, Phoenix like, from the ashes
of her humiliation. God grant that tho day may
not bo far distant. Them are a rew respectable
colored people herc, who, to their honor bc lt
said, have too much sense to bo taken in by Radi?
cal clap-trap, and hold aloof from union leagues
and all such organizations.
There was an express robbery al Salter's Sta?
tion, a few miles below here, on Saturday-a
package of money containing about five hundred
dollars having been taken rrom a table or desk,
while the agent had his attention directed else?
where. A detective came np to ferro: ont the
matter, and secured about one hundred and fifty
dollars, which was round In possession of a small
negro boy. I understand hols still on Hie track,
and lt ls hoped that ho will recover the balance.
When the facts all come to light, they will doubt?
less appear in tho papers.
A good deal or cotton and turpentine has been
shipped rrom this place and a largo quantity or
illili'ei ls now being a lobed, ?cady for s'opinent
down black River to Georgetown. Tho river,
which hos been unprecedentedly low lor some
mouths past, ls gradually rising. Many or Hie
farmers arc displaying a geed deal of energy by
fixing ty> fences, ploughing up grounds, Ac, in
pr?par?t iou for another crop. .. There is life In
the old laud yet," and South Carolina will doubt?
less soon realize a higher degree or prosperity.
Some Important sales or real estate arc to take
place here between this and February. Prices
arc Invariably very low, so rar. Colonel John C.

At 5 o'clock on Saturday morning, In Stock?

caved In, niling the shaft and funnel with enor?

with it and chokiug up thc entrance to the

At the time or thc accident ten persons were
I'welllrg in thc two houses: Ucorgc Swank, lils

and mother. All of these were killed, and lt has
been, as yet. impossible to reach their bodies. It
is said that some men were in Hie mine at (he
time, and they arc also supposed to have been kill?
ed Instantly.
Thc houses fell forty feet. Thc farnlll-s residing
In them had no time to escape, except a girl who
had lied rrom a house, but not fur enough to en?
cape falling. She was rescued from thc roof of
one or the descending buildings. Ftos*. an ad?
joining block three families had barely escaped
when the whole block tumbled into ruins.
The Hazelton firemen have taken charge of thc
minc, and have been throwing a continued
stream on the ruins since their arrival. A rope
barrier has been placed round the cavity, and no
person is allowed to venture inside. It will be
some time yet bet?re nil tho bodies are recovered,
as, in consequence of the earth continuing to
fall in, the work or rescue ls rendered vory haz?
ardous.
Thc excitement In tho neighborhood Is intcase.
Families ure moving out ot their houses rearing
that theirs will rall in next. To add to the gene?
ral tear, there ls great danger ot thc mines taklug
Ore. In thc afternoon the owners arrived on the
ground, and at once engaged in efforts for a
speedy recovery or the bodies of thc victims.

With the consent of the Bishop of thc Diocese,
I purpose, through God's asslstauco, to reopen
this venerable Colonial Church. It ls now sixty
years since lt has been closed, and thc old con?
gregation has long since scattered, but during
the past summer I have repeatedly preached In lt,
and, though my services were at night, always to
large and attcutlvo congregations, of both white
and colored. I feel assured that there ls here a
wide field for successful missionary work. Thc
building, a substantial brick structure, is In good
preservation, hut the Interior was much Injured
during thc war. I need about ($1000) one thous?
and dollars to repair lt, enclose thc graveyard,
and flt up a parochial school. Thc people, though
In moderate circumstances and not Episcopali?
ans, have subscribed liberally for these purposes,
but they cannot do all, I therefore confidently
appeal to my brethren of tho Diocese, and especi?
ally to those of Charleston, St. John's, st. Ste?
phen 'sand elsewhcre.frlcnds, relatives and descen?
dants or the dead burled around this sacred
building. I seek to rcscuo from desecration thc
graves of thc loved and honored, and to rchallow

dered for many hours through tangled forests of
Tropical shrubs and trees, somo of them emit?

when wc suddenly came upon a large and well
cultivated plantation, in Hie centre or whlee
were several buildings. Entering these we
found them to be thc "press houses," stills, Ae^,
where thc sugar cane ls crushed lor the manufac?
ture of St. Croix Rum. Over one hundred cooties
were at work, and thc smell from the fermenting:

were shown through tho entire establishment,
and learned that all the Rum hero produced was
shipped to Messrs. P. IL DRAKE A CO., New

Bark, Cascarilla and other important Ingredients,
this Rum becomes PLANTATION BITTERS, and
surely no finer Tonic and general Family Remedy
was ever seen. Thc combination of these Bitters
was first discovered here many years ago, and all
