[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLOMBIA, February 7. The Senate rejected the bill authorizing county commissioners to assume and pay obligations contracted under the late township act. The report of the committee investigating the expenditures of the Third Congressional District investigating committee was recom? mitted with instructions to compel Joe Crews to testify. In the House the new school bill was under discussion for several hours. Notice was given of a bill to issue two mil? lion State bonds to build school houses. Several parties from Union County are in the city, who state that they have been driven from their homes, and report numerous out? rages. Little credence, however, is given to their stories. tf- -. '.AX INTERES TING RECORD. i Trie Cost of a Smelling Committee Mitigating the Sluicing Fund-What the Charleston County Machine Costs -The Member who Wont Adjourn. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] '. COLUMBIA, February C. The Senate and House of Representatives did business to-day* with barely a quorum. SENATE-MORE WAYS TCAT ARB DARK. The special committee appointed under a Senate resolution to investigate the transac-1 * tlons of the committee appointed to investi? gate the elections 61 1868, In the Third Con-j greseional District, submitted a report to-day, in which they stj|p that they found the vouch? ers in the treasurer's office to agree with the list of expenditures, and that they discovered among said vouchers, fur? nished by the treasurer, the following amounts drawn by G. A. Dunbar, Esq., for services os attorney and clerk, viz: March 2, $1000; April 19, $2500: May 4, $1500; September 28, $2500. Total, $7500.. The commiJtee trans? mit with their report affidavits from members ol the Third Congressional District investi? gating committee, In which they deny having employed Mr. Dunbar in either capacity, and the committee, therefore, in conclusion, re? commend that the attorney-general be in-, structed to institute legal jjroceedings against Mr. Dunbar for the recovery of the money fraudulently obtained. But the strangest part all ls, that Mr. Dunbar denies having re? ceived any money. If not, who did ? And who paid for the .printing and binding of those j bloated pamphlets containing.the testimony j taken by the committee ? THE SINKING FUND. The report of the committee on finance on the bill to repeal an act providing for a sink? ing fund, and for the management of the same, came up for consideration to-day. On motton, the report recommending its passage was laid on the table, and' the bill tuleen up. S wai ls said he would like to see a full report relative to all the affairs of the sinking lund commission before further action was taken on the bill. Leslie said he was ooe of .hat com- < mittee, and was satisfied that no report could J be made to his own or any one else's satisfac? tion, and moved that the books, which are now in the possession of Mr. J ulick, treasurer of the commission, be transferred to the State treasurer. Mr. Cardozo objected to the treasu? rer, and thought it should be the auditor. Leslie did not care to whom the books were given, as iar as individuals were concerned, for they {the commission) were ail in the same boat, and, if it was not to give food for newspaper reporters, he would make some disclosures now; but he would scalp them when the time came. The motion was adopt? ed. The bill then received its second reading, and was engrossed for a third. TUE CHARLESTON COUNTY COMMISSION.

A NEW PLAY -It .ls not often that Charles- , ton is selected as the polut at which to Inaugurate the success of a new play; and ' yet M.-. Harry Wai ki us has testified his ap- ' predation of th? critical judgment which ex? ists here, hy presenting for the first time 1 to a public audience a three act comedy, written ( by himself, entitled. "How she cared him; or, 1 Mated but n..t matched.'' Those who have at ?ended the Academy of Music and become fa? miliar with thc racy dialogue which runs through t ill the productions of the author-actor that have ?eeu placed npon the stage during the last ten lays, were doub loss prepared for a display of irllllants in thc new piece, and were njt disap? pointed. Admirably mounted; with Its situations ( saturai and dome-te; with no straining at effects, ( md yet frequently producing them; lighted by -m tonndance of humor, and with enough of soul . ind sentiment co maintain thc heroic proprieties, :he comedy needed nothing that could be added jy the author to make lt more complete. 1 The plot may bs briefly stated. Paul Flckleton, * Mr. McManus.) ls betrothel to a young lady, ' Miss "anny Pierson.) but becoming Ul, falls In I ove with lils pretty nut?e, the "Widow Darling," 5 Mrs. Ros J Watkins.) The latter reciprocates his 1 i flection In secret, but learning of his betrothal, f ?Bsumes the character or a simpleton for the pur-' ? pose or dlsenchautlng the lover. They separate, . ind the widow man les old Mr. Wnltnsey, (Welsh . Edwards.) a bypocoadrlac, whom she makes supremely happy by her good management. Aa i contrast to th s pleasant exhibition on the do- ' mest lc chess-board, Horatio Borem. (Harry Wat- ' kins,) appear d as a hen-pecked husband, while I Mrs. Sophonlsta Borem, (Mrs. H. C. Stewarr,) his f sponse. Illustrates tbs power, the wickedness, the | suspicion, the diabolism of first-class jeal insy; < keeps her poor devil of a husband In perpetual j ho:-water, and drives him to the brink of suicide. , By easy and natural transitions, scenes succeed each other in which the above character* become more fully developed, and at last the widow brings ab.'u: a reconciliation between all the par? ties, rids herself of an unfortunate lover, and 1 cures Mrs. Borem or all doubts concerning ber really innocent and intensely disgusted husband. The play ts la tended to convey a popular lessan, and lt does so lu a manner at once forcible, and true to life. Toe toilettes of Mrs. Hose Watkins were superb, li she-had Just stepped ont of a 1 fashion plate, her appearance could not have pro- ? voked more envy and admiration than lt did Inst ', night among the lovers or good taste and beauti? ful attire*. Harry Watkins was, or course, ne.\t } to the widow, the ll.'e' of ne pie:e, and divided its honors fairly with Welsh Edwards, who. as Mr. Whims*/, acted to perfection the worn-out, russy, imagina'ive old matf,'who never enjoys tl-mseir more than when his nose ls figuratively pulled by a pre.ty woman. Mr. C. MvManuS ss Paul Flcklelon, and Mr. Mark Rjad as Sterling Coyne, sustained their respective pai ts with spirit. Altogether, lt may be said that the new play or "How She Cured Uua" Isa decided success, and will doubtless take rank among the light come, dies of the day, which Il?strate familiar phases of social life,, and reoilre no more startling aids than lively dialogue and honest acting to make them welcome uv every Intelligent audience. < 'COUNTY EXPENDITURES.

A Paris letter, of Wednesday, says M. Lemoine, in an article published in the D?bats, says that the Republic is a failure, and that the Orleans family ls the only hope for France. The ivhoie army of investment will march through Arc de Triomphe, Rne de Rivoli, and Rue Saint Antoine, simply for the purpose of j passing through Paris. Houses on either side of the rente will be cleared of their inhabi? tants, and occupied by German troops. The World's special from Berlin, 5th, says uneasiness is succeeding the exultation caused by the fall of Paris. Funds are depressed, and no confidence is felt that the terms of peace will be accepted by the Bordeaux Assembly.
