In the accompanying letter, Neagle regrets the unsatisfactory condition of the finances, but says be ls unable to make any recommendations looking to an improve? ment for the future. He adds: '-But !n view of Alie fact that the finances are managed by a financial board, ol which I am not a member, and of whose further-plans I am not advise?, you will, I trust, pardon me for refraining from an expression of my views, and for hoping, perhaps vainly, that their plans for the future will work out our relief as rapidly as those pursued In tbe past bare worked our financial ruin." In the House, Hedges introduced a new metropolitan police bill, wblch takes In the city only.

PICKET. THE PROCEEDINGS OF WEDNESDAY. Hurley's Bill to Aid tbe Rebuilding of Charleston-The second Failure of the Impeach ment. [P?O? OD& OWN COE RESPONDENT.] .- COLUMBIA, S. C., January 24. Our Solons appear to bare received some new and powerful Impetus during the past two days impelling them to effective efforts to di? minish the piles of unfinished business that have been accumulating in their respective de? bating clubs, and yesterday and to-day they have been delving away at the mass of com? plicated iubbl?b with sanguinary zeal and a .persistence worthy of a better cause. Perhaps it ls the proposition to adjourn on the 15th proximo which has produced this unwonted Industry, or lt may be the scarcity of private measures with money lo back them, but what? ever the cause, the effect ls eminently gratify? ing, as giving a promise of speedy adjourn? ment, which is surely *'a consummation de? voutly to be wished"-by the taxpayers. In tbe Senate, this morning, Mr. Nash pre? sented the report of the Joint special investi? gating committee that was appointed a few - days ago to ascertain the use that had been made of the $40,000 Lunatic Asylum appropri? ation, the report certifying that $27,625 bad been regularly expended in building op?ra? tions and that tbe remainder was on hand, to . gether with an unexpended balance of $5000 from former appropriations. , A number or bills and resolutions were In? troduced, ol which the following are the most important: By Mr. S wails, a bill defining the time of commencing criminal and civil action. This ls a curious affair, which proposes to effect a very prompt outlawry of actions against any? body who ls or ever has been so fortunate as tobe a Slate official. This bill provides that no criminal or civil action, prosecution or pro? ceeding by creon behalf of the State or any . citizen thereof, shall be Instituted or main? tained against any executive, ministerial or legislative officer of the State, or against any persen or persons having held or now holding any public or fiduciary place or position, for any act or thing done by said officer or person in said public or fiduciary .position, unless said action or prosecution be commenced within six months from the time when such acts are alleged to have been committed. Prosecu - tions for murder are excepted from the pro? visions ol the act, and Indictments lor arson mutt be found within three years alter the alleged commission ot the crime, but indict? ments for all-other felonies and for all misde? meanors must be found within six months af - ter their commission. By Mr. Swatls, a bill to aid in the construc? tion of th? Georgetown and Charlotle Ball road. This is the rather startling title io a very Innocent measure, which only proposes to allow and authorize aoy counties, towns or village?,which may feel an Interest in the con? struction or the prosperity of tbe road, to pledge their own lulth and credit for Ks assist? ance. Bj Mr. Whittemore, a bill to provide for a unitorm pyst?m ol school records. By Mr. Nash, a Joint resolution to aid the Palmetto Steam fire Engine Company, of Columbia, in (he purchase bf a steam fire en? gine. The Senate then went into Its calendar busi? ness, and made a wholesale clearance, final action being taken on the following meas? ures: Bill to amend an act entitled "An act to incorporate the Columbia, Walterboro' and Temassee Rai road Company." Bill to amend an act entitled "An act to amend an act entitled 'An act to establish and maintain a svstem of'free common schools for the Slate ol South Carolina." Bill lo empower fathers lo legitimatize .certain children by lait will and testament TBili to establish a pub ic road In Barnwell ?and Orangeburg Counties. The above bids passed, and were ordered to be sent to the House. The bill to empower the Judges of the pro? bate courts, In their respecilve countiep, to Issue executione, which had already passed the House, also went through the Senate, and now only awaits the Governor's approval. In the House a commendable degree of In? dustry was also noticeable, but ol course this remarkable museum of anatomy could not be expected to completely relorm in one day, and so the usual tiffs and squabbles were In? dulged In, though, happily, to a less extent than heretofore. Tb? fina recreation was an hour's debate over the bill to provide LT the election by the people of countv tr?asurets and auditors, Instead of their appoint m. nt by the Governor, which was at last passed to a third reading by a large majority. A large number of bills, ?c., were then In? troduced, some of which were ot Borne lin I)pitaDce and are a? follows: Mr. Levy introduced his bill to prohibit trial Justice?, or Justices of the peacr-, from ai or practicing as attorneys, or counsellc law, in the conrts of trial Justices, or Jus of the peace, the penalty provided tor ai fraction of the law being a ?ne of five hun dollars and imprisonment for not more twelve months. Mr. Hurley-introduced an important bil titled a bill to encourage the rebuilding o waste places io the City of Charleston, to u employment lor the mechanics and labe people, and fur other purposes. The pn ble asserts that it is deemed wise and exr. ent, for the purpose of encouraging th building of the waste and burnt places ic City cf Charleston, that additional ind ments for the investment of capital shoul offered; that'll would be of great benefit to classes, especially for the mechanics an borers, that their chancea for remunera employment should be increased, and that City Council are wUllog lo lend their bouda for these objects, and also to rn other efforts in the advancement of a corni and general prosperity, and the bill, there! provides : SECTION 1. That the City Council of Chai ton shall bave the authority, and the sam hereby authorized and empowered to grai drawback for a term ot five years, eque their assessed value and rate of taxation any Improvements or buildings which maj made or erected upon any va ca ut lot, wi place or burnt premises within the said Cit Charleston. SEC. 2. That the exemption or drawb; provided lorita tue first section shall als< allowed and extended io all assessments i lax levies by the State or county, pravl : the City of Charleston ordain and allow said exemption or drawback in their mun pal tax regulation?. This was referred lo the commiltee on p lie lands. Mr. Jervey introduced a bill to incorpon the St. Andrew's Rifle Corps, ot St. Andre Parish, Charleston County, which was refer? to the committee on military affairs. Mr. Barker Introduced a bill to grant, pow to the Augusta Canal Company to build a di across the Savannah Biver. Mr. Galther Introduced "a bill for the bet protection cf crops under cultivation," whl ls nor, as its title might seem io ind?cale law to prohibit inopportune ralos or inoi nate frosts, but which does with almost eqi complacency require all (armers and otu? owning cultivated lands to surround the sai with substantial fences, at least five leet bli under a penalty of five dollars per acre tor lands not so enclosed. Another member, J Giles, submitted a bill almost Identical wi i his which is entitled "a bill to regulate ienc throughout the State," and which provlc that "ali farmers in this State shall keet fence, strong and substantial, measutiDg height five feet from the ground, the earrie be to all intents and purposes a lawful fenci It may sound strangely to any who are acct tomed to police phraseology to hear of peo| being required oy law to "beep a 'lenee while there ace laws against receiving stol goods; but what would the Hawksbaws Charleston consider "a lawiul 'fence ?' " Mr. L. Cain gave notice of a bill to corni representatives lo reside in the counties frc which they were eleoted. This caused a gt eral laugh, and some little squirming amoi the members, but of course the bill, if lt ever introduced, will find a quiet and spee grave in some .hospitable pigeon hole, wlie lt will slumber undisturbed, while ''ie larch elections of next full proceed. Mr. Garey introduced a bill lo all and amend an act entitled uan act regulate the disposition ot fines and pe allies Imposed and collected In cnn nal cau-cs in courts of trial Justice! This bill provides that all such moneys ?bi be paid by the trial Justices to the COUD treasurers to be used lor county purposes, ai requires all trial Justices to make, written r turns of all such moneys received, on the ni Monday of every month, under a penally one hundred dollars and imprisonment 1 twelve months or less. The House then proceeded to the consider tion of its calendar business and soon rescue the resolution offered yesterday by Gener Whipper "that B E. Scott, Governor of tl State of South Carolina, be impeached hlzh crimes and misdemeanors In office." This created a little whirlwind, and brougl on a lively skirmish, lasi lng for about or hour. The Hessians began filibustering i once by a motion to indefinitely postpone ti consideration of the resolution, but this wi lost by a vole of 28 to 41. Then Gener Whipper called the., previous question, am ihe call being sustained, he parcelled out iii hour thus allowed him among Jones, Wilke Hunter, Lee and By as, who amused then selves ad iib?um wii h their peculiar orator repeated their threadbare and famllli arguments, and disported themselves gene: ally to their own intense satisfaction. Ttl call of the yeas and Days being finally reachei It was found that a sufficient number of men bers were not present lo carry (he resolutlo under the two-thirds rule in any case, thei being but eighty-one members present, whit under the speaker's ruling, an affirmativ vote of eighty-eight is necessary. The vot taken, however, showed a larger number < members in favor of Impeachment than ha voted for it before the recess and resulted in tie, by 40 to 40. The speaker having the casi lng vote recorded himself with the antl-in peachers, and so the resolution was lost one more. The votes in favor of Impeachment were Messrs. Allen. A udell. Bass, Bowen, Bow lev Briggs, L. Cain, E. Cain, Crittenden. T. A. Da vis, Derrick. Doyle. Duncan, Dusenbury, Ford Glover, Goggins, Hagood, Humbert, Hunter Jervey, Litchfield, Lloyd. Logan, Maddocks Miles, Neheinlas, O'Connell. Pendergrass, Sel lers, Small. B M. Smith, Taylor, Thompson Whipper. Wilkes, Williams, wilson, Woffon and Yocura-forty. Those voting in the negallve were: SD jake Moses, and Messrs. Adamson, Barker, Bas comb, Boston, Byas, Cousart, J. Davis, Elli son, Ferguson. Galther, Gantt, Gardner, Ga rey, Giles, S. Greene, J. A. Green, Hart, C. D H ay ne. Hedges, Hudson. Humphries, Jami Bon, Jones, Lang, Lee, McDaniels, W. D. Mc Dowell, Milton, Montey, Moore, Mickey Nuckies, Ramsay, Rivers. Siunders, A. L Singleton, J. P. Singleton, Smart, Sumpleranc Warley-forty-one. * The Huu-e then, at half-past three, ad? journed until io morrow. The postponed meeting of the judiciary commiueVto consider (he metropolitan po? lice bill was held bs, n-ghr, but was attended by no one who ^ras opposed to the general principal ot a metropolitan police establish? ment, though several expressed themselves strongly against the bill now pending. Among those in attendance, besides the committee and the Charleston members of the House, were Captain Hendricks, Sheriff Mackey, Col? onel Tait and a few others, ali of whom agreed on the desirability, from their stand? point, of a metropolitan system of police, and admi ted freely (hallt was a partisan meas? ure, and that they supported it as such, but differed widely as to details, and especially us to ihe control of the patronage. The present bill empowers the Governor lo appoint the three commis.-loners of police und the superin? tendent, who are lu turn to appoint the sub? ordinate officers and pr.vat? s of the force; surrenders tne two guardhouses, part of the City Hall, and other property, to the new comunisslouers, includes the whole of Charles? ton County in the metropolitan ci-trict, and even extends its operations, in certain COD Urgencies, to every porilou of the Slate. Many of these provisions were obnoxious to almost every one present, but the principal rock on which' they split was as to the ap? pointing power. Some thought the Legisla? ture should have the power, others claimed lt for the Charleston delegation, while some were gracious enough to say (hat the people' of Charleston should have the right to elec. their own police officials. It was finally agreed by the committee that they should report unfavorably upon the present bill and recom? mend that the mailer be referred to the Charles? ton delegation io dratt another bill, which might give the House a better chance lor pr. v>eciive loaves und fishes, and have, there? fore, a better ehance of being parsed. Tne preseot posture ot the maller appears ?to he, therefoie. that while me metropolitan police bill, as now drawn, is doomed to ?speedy and Inglorious death, another one. which will ''-ubi less contain every essential leuiure of nie first, but which will be stigar-co Med tor the dainty palate ot' Hie House, will take its place, with belter chances ol success, and may .very probably pass the lower house. The only quotion now appears to be whether die "locust" is to be wielded over recalcitrant Charleston by Joues, Brown and Robinson, as appointees jf Scott, or by Robinson, own and Jones as the creatures ol Hie House; bul lhere yet remains a simple way for ihe citizens of Charleston to avert either calamity. PICKET. STRICKEN ABBEVILLE. THE BEAUTIFUL VILLAGE MAKING BEADY TO BISE FROM ITS ASHES. Funner Incidents of thc Fire-Old Landmarks Swept Away-High Pri? ces for Burnt Lots, &c. The Abbeville Medium has the foll ow! og lur ther details of the recent disastrous fire at that place : Friday morning was one of horror. The s;ene when Knox's range was burning was appalling, terrille, but when the "Marshall House" was in flumes lt rose to the greatness of the theme, and was grandly Bubllme. It ignited on the lower sideband was soon en? veloped io flames. Strange forked tongues of fire, without feeling or mercy, spread over the massive pile of masonry, and Illuminated, with lurid glow, the country for miles around. Swiftly and more swiftly spread the merciless Are, until the magnificent cupola was enwrap? ped, and then higher and higher, until (he f[olden censors of heaven were paled In their Ight. The inmates of the hotel were strangely dis? turbed in (heir slumbers; sweet dreams of borne and loved ones were rudely broken by the re [noiseless flames. Narrow escapes from death were made, and swiftly moved the work of destruction. Cries for succor were borne aloft, and In motley, disorganized mass, the old and feeble, the young and helpless were driven into the streets by the unfeeling mon? ster. Flying women, helpless lnldms, the anxious property-holder made a sight well worthy the painters best skill to delineate. Aud the courthouse is gone-a souvenir of the days of "Auld Lang Syne"-a monument lo an age of learning and literature-a temple at whose shrine noble priests have ministered -the dividing line between the old and new regime, her lights fled and her garlands dead. Yes, the couri house, so long the pride and boast ol our county, now stands with bare and blackened walls, with gaping, dismal win? dows-a wreck ! A great blow Indeed to our already over-burdened people ! "Pigtail Alley," the great lurking place of vice, was Boon a smoking ruin. It had defied the stand Jury, the town council and the thunders of the law; but the avenging fires of a long-suffering Providence soon swept it away, and left in its place but charred and sombre ruins, and unsightly and solitary chimneys. Of course the ludicrous and grave, the sad and gay, the smile and tear, were well mixed. Many Utile incidents of a light nature occurred. One old colored woman, with pitiful lamenia (ions, Tailing heart and hope, bemoaned the destruction ot her "old coffee pot," and why not? A relic of better da^s, the furnisher of pleasant draughts, was melting Jrom her sight, and she, alas I was powerless. Another, a man who had the weighty responsibility o?a family resting upon him, seized the passing moment, and endeavored to lay in a barrel of flour. With the barrel before him on a mulo he departed, but the best laid schemes of men fail, and to the "Blue Hill" and no further; for there he was overhauled. Alas ! Charles, you will Hod (hat at a fire os well os elsewhere "honesty is the best policy." The fire is now alleged to have commenced in the room back ol Russell's bar-room, and not In Bowie's blichen, as we before state J. Bussell and Bowie lost most of their furniture and bedding, and Bowie had only time enough to save himself. Russell's bar-room, and that of Chrlstiau & WllBon, wera complete losses, not being covered by any insurance. Kaphau Sc Skiers lost a good part et their goods, but, happily for themselves, were . Insured in the sum of $5500. John Knox lost a great deal, as much by roguery nearly as by fire. He had a very large stock of goods on hand, and saved hardly un vining. He was insured lor $7000. The Marshall House was insured for $3000. Tiamat* ic Bequest were not Insured at all, but by hard work saved about three-quarters of their whole stock. Trowbridge Sc Co. mei with heavy losses, botb by fire and thieving, jut were Insured in $3000. The BuffererB'by the fire aro going ahead making efforts to recuperate their fortunes. Bargaining loriots on the burnt row ls going on, and the prices ara high. Messrs. McDon? ald & Adamson have purchased the lot from Mr. Christian, where his bar-room used to stund, for $1400. Numerous offers have been made for other lots, and considerable enerby In favor of improvement ls being manifested. Mr. Wilson talks of rebuilding the Marshall House, and we hope he.will do so. Helsa man of energy and taste, and deserves the highest credit for the Improvements he had made on l he old h o iel. On Saturday last. Mr. George F. E. Wenck, the celebrated German artist, was upon th? spot, and transferred to canvas lha "ruins," so that we may have a lasting remembrance of the appearance of the town on the day after the fire. With his practiced pencil, be soon bad a truthful and beautlfol sketch of the "burnt district." COLONEL FI8K AND UNCLE DANIEL. Pride the Best Policy and Honesty -Man Some Day have a Fall-The Karly Birds Flock Together, and Birds nf a Feather Catch the Worm. [From the Chicago Post.| lt is now in order io recount anecdotes of the early life of ihe late James Fisk, Jr., and the Table Talker, ever ready to contribute to '. the literature of lbs country, proceeds to re? late the flowing reminiscence of the Prince's sunny hout>af boyhood: When Ftalram about ten years of age he kept a small market stall at Bennington, Vt. One day ihe emineu. steamboat man, Daniel Drew, came to ihe market willi his basket on lits at m. He asked young Fis k If his egtts wera fresh. "You bet," replied eVe ingenuous bov; "pop pulled them off ihe vines this morning!" "Give me a dozen, sonny,-" replied Mr. Drew. The next stall was kept by little Eliphalet Buckram. "Is this pumpkin good, my son ?" asked the venerable stock-broker. "It is a goodenough Morgan,"answered thetruthlul child; "but, slr, If you will examine that por? tion concealed from too scrutinizing view, by contact with the boards foi ming the counter of thc stall, you will see that there is a bad spot In lt." "Does not that seem un? businesslike, my child, to cry down vour own wares !" asked the kind-hearted miflon alre. "My sainted mother told me I must never (ell a lie with my little hatchet," re? sponded Edphalet Buckram. The rich man was moved to tears; he took out his purse and gave Eliphalet Buckram a pat on the head and said he was a good boy. When lie had gone, Eliphalet Buckram said to little James, "O James, what made you tell such a llb ? You know those eggs were laid three weeks ago. You will see that I have gained a cus? tomer and you have Jost one." Well, when Eliphalet went home, his stepmother came to the door and said : "Here you are, you lazy little sneak, and you havn't so d that putikin yet ! PU punkln you !" And she took him lo her etepmoiherly arms and fanned him with an ox-goad until he said that he would prefer taking his meals off the manic piece lor (he next lew consecutive duya to sliting down with the re9t of ihe fam? ily. And next day Daniel Drew came into the market (l a reatta' und a t eui lu'," as old inhabi? tants say,) and said: "Where is tue boy that sold metnoie egj.?, eh?" and Jim Fisk pointed to Eliphalet and said: "Therehei?, slr," and Daniel Drew reinforced (hal. boy's stepmother's ox-good with lils cane so effectually that-but nevermind. So Daniel Drew bought all his arden-sussof Jim Fisk. In aller life Eliphal t nckram set up a grocery store, and gave trust to all the roor peopl?, and never sanded his sugar, and wouldn't quality his rum with water; so he burst up, and the sheriff sold him out and he went to the poorhouse. BUL Daniel Drew kept his eye on Jim Fisk, and bv-und-by he gave lilma partnership In the Erie firm, and Jim beat him out ol'$4.000,000. This ls not a story lor good ilitle boys. We fear It is too nour ihe truth. OSE MORE STORT about Fisk: "The deceased Colonel F sk'a love of Inn he retuiued to the last. Lying wounded lo death on Saturday evenlngat the Grand Central Hotel, Jay Gould, having Just h-ard the news, cam? hurriedly and sytnpathetica ly to his bedside savins: 'Howls lt with you my dear b >y?' Fl*k rep'ied with a smile: 'Weil I rather guess, Gould' ihat I mvselt um going this time where the wood? bine twlneth. I think, old fellow, you'll have to run Erle alone hereafter. I dont care, though, li I do slip off; lt won't be the flrBt tim? I've been where tue New York courts had no jurisdiction. COWHIDE AND PISTOL. The Shooting Affray ut ino Statehouse in Columbia. iFrorn the Columbia Phoenix.] We have obtained full particulars of the dltJJctilty which occurred at the Statehouse Tuesday between the notable By as,'a negro member of the House, and Mr. B. W. Tom an? son, reporter of THE CHARLESTON DAILY NEWS. A few minutes before twelve o'clock, the hour the Legislature con venes, as Mr. Tom linson was passing out or the Senate Chamber into the lobby, he met By as, who, it seems, had been at. the door awaiting him, and on bloody thoughts Intent, for some little while. Mr. Tomllnson, unsuspicious of any evil de? signs, politely greeted Byas, "Good morning." Said Byas, in a turly tone, "Are you, sir, the correspondent of THE CHARLESTON NEWS ?" "I om," replied Mr. Tomllnson. "Did you," fiercely inquired Byas. "write that scurr'llloiis article about my being cowhided the other day?" "Well," said Mr. Tomllnson, "I pre? sume I did; I write all the communications from this place to THE Ntws." With that the doughty champion of the ring s wore a frightful oath, and, casting aside his overcoat,drew from his person a bran-new green cow-skin switch, and wit h a flourish raised it aloft, and was in the act of striking Mr. Tomllnson when that gent lemau drew hie revolver, and Byas igno? miniously turned and fled towards the I speaker's roon. He turned once Just before reaching the door and brandished his cow skin, and then It was that Mr. Tomllnson fired. The bail struck Byas in the side, in? flicting a slight flesh wound. Ho rushed pell mell inn the speaker's room, and thc door was slammed to, to prevent Mr. Tomllnson from pursuing him. This, how? ever, he had no desire to do, but stood quietly in his tracks till ari'exclted crowd gathering around he was amsted by Mr. fl. W. Hen? dricks and assured of his protection. An eager and anery mues ot negroes aron collected Irr the lobby, and some direful threats of ven eance were nade,, until lt was understood ow the shooliig occurred, when Mr. Tomlin? sons action was conceded to be Justifiable, even by the negroes. There was some appre? hensions of an attempt lo lynch Mr. Tomlln? son at first, but Mri Hendricks, who acted ina very commendable-manner, succeeded in sav? ing him irom the- clutohes of the mob, and turned him ovtr to Slier Iff Frazee. Mr. Tom? llnson wa? rekased dorlog the day on a ball bond of seven hundred dollars. Byas was in his seat before the House adjourned, and had evidently been worse frightened than burt. He took a novel Diode of retaliating for the c J whining ht received from Williams, and succeeded about as he deserved. Another Personal Difficulty. [Pron the Columbia Phoenix.] An unforturate difficulty occurred, last eve? ning, between Mr. Philip Porcher and Mr. E. W. Selbels. Ihe latter gentleman was stand? ing in iront of the Columbia Hotel, about seven o'clock, when Mr. Porcher approached him and demanded an explanation of certain de? rogatory remarks which he had heard that Mr. Selbels mide about him. The explana? tion not being-satisfactory, Mr. Porcher drew a cowhide ned struck Mr. Selbels several blows across tte lace. The insult was prompt? ly resented by Ur. Selbels, and a fist lc nfl en? sued, until Captain Tupper and other friends Intervened anc separated the parties. Both thc gentlemen are highly respectable citizens, and as the matters in controversy between them are p urey of a private nature, we for? bear further comment. THILOS IN ALABAMA. SELMA, ALA., January 25. There bas been Intensely cold weatner for j several days, and a snow storm to-day the heaviest! in tel years. There was a railway collision this evening I on the Alabamt Central, seventy miles west of | Selma, with- ?ne killed and several badly wounded. Entrains were smashed. THE WEST-MVOLNG AGAINST GRANT. JEFFERSON' ?ITY, MO., January 25. The Liberal Republican Mass Convention waa the largest ever assembled in thc Stale. It was resulted that t he shameless abuse of government patronage for the control of conventions and elections, whether in the interest of aa individual, (action or party, with its consequent corruption and demoraliza? tion of political life, demanda a thorough and general reform of ihe public service. Those who would suppress investigation forget they owe a higher duty to the country than to any parly. It ls time to stop the growing en? croachments of executive power, the use of coercion or bribery to ratify a treaty, the pack log of the Supreme Court to relieve rich cor? porations, and official corruption generally. y EWS FROM WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, January 25. The committee of wuya and means lo-day gave a heating to the rice men. Senator Saw? yer spoke a few words against the redaction of the duty on rice.
