VOLUME XI.-NUMBER 1883. CHARLESTON, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 18, 1872. EIGHT DOLLARS A EXIT, THE POLICE BILI. A PILL FOB THE MACKEY-HEN? DRICKS CLIQUE. The Debate Testerda y-Audacious Avowals of tlie Friends or the Bill A Decisive Vote-Thu Ex-Chief or Po? lice s.t his Old Tricks-Hunter De? clines to Die for his Country and Ap? peals to the House for Protection-The Result. [8P8CIAL T?LBGBAM TO THE NEWS ] COLUMBIA, February 28. Ia the House to-day, the mala fight was upon Hedges'a Metropolitan police bill, which had been placed upon the calendar. The bill was again ignominiously defeated, the enacting -clause being stricken out, on motion of Bose mon, by a vote of seventy-sla to sixteen. During the debate, which lasted three hours, Jervey, Bosemon, Hurley, Hunter and others ?poke against the bill. Whipper, Jones, Jami? son, Byas and a few others of the rural repre- \ sentatlves, spoke in ifs favor. The only argu? ment advanced by Whipper and the other supporters of the bill was that it was a party measure, that the spoils belong to the victors, -and that might makes right. Circuit Judge T. J. Mackey was on the floor of the House during the debate industriously lobbying in favor of the measure. Hendricks lobbied differently. While the bill was under discussion, Hunter rose to a question of privi? lege, and declared that Hendricks had threat? ened to have bim shot as soon as be should leave the House after the adjournment. Nash Issued a warrant for the arrest of Hendricks, who was bound over to keep the peace. The committee of ways and means reported In favor of the original appropriation bill, and against the substitute or seventeen and a hali mills tax bill. They recommended an appro? priation ol ten thousand dollars lor the organ? ization of the militia, and. twelve thousand dollars for the support of the Lunatic Asylum. They also introduced a bill to ievy a tax ef I .eight mills for the State and three mills for [ the counties. Ia the Senate the proceedings were unlm portant _ ' PICKET. THE RADICAL RAILROAD RINO. Passage or the Blue Ridge Job-Others of the Same Stripe Coming-The Basis or Action in Both Houses. [PROM OUR OWK CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, S. C., February 27. The Blue Bldge bill was put through the formality of a third reading in the Senate to? day, and finally passed, so that the swindle may now be looked upon as an accomplished fact, it will doubtless be vetoed, but it will also doubtless be put through again, "not? withstanding the objections cf his Excellency the Governor," as well as a half dozen other bills that are cow pending. The passage so ihr of this notable Boheme of plunder may be looked upon as an eminent success. There -was only one mistake made la the lobby, and that wa? promptly retrieved. Wheo the first bill was pending, its friends thought they had a good hand, and "called," but their oppo? nents had a straight flush, and coppered the pile. Then the bill started agata, but this time lt was handicapped beatify; and to-day there are no less than four or five schemes riding behiod it which it is expected to carry to the winning post. This being the case, it has made a good run, and will j doubtless get away with the stakes. The only tblng that could defeat the Blue Bldge bill, or its subsidiary swindles, now, would be the desertion of some member of the loner circle of all the convoluted rings that are keeping lt along, and of this there is little hope. The thing is going through on the mu? tual benefit plan, and not pa the mutual ad? miration syste m. The co-consplrators are cor? dially hating each other, and on most subjects have agreed to disagree, but in this case they are bound together by that first law of nature and strongest pf all obligations-self-interest. The Senate, this morning, ia addition to tbs Blue Ridge swindle, passed a number of small hills, of which the only one possessing any in? terest was a bill to incorporate the Provident Land and Beal Estate Company, of Charleston, and made a wholesale clearance of Its calen? dar. The House.amused itself all day with the dis? cussion of its endless string of private bills, and neither at the morning or evening session transacted any business, except that already reported by telegraph, that is worthy of men TLON* PICKET.
