TM? Ric?Uand MLemfeer? of tb? Prwwnl i^gIil*tur?r-~TJi? Abbeville xUectSon mp{P?|*?xtfm>t?ii orr tn? lilmttc of Co ' \ Ot th* members of the present Legis Motk. from WcMsnd, it scorns that Beverly Nash arid Sam. Thompson are disposed to bV pftminsnt, ;' Simons and ^"Jlt* frf^frfogfr ?gffWt And as "?ls aa they are modest. No doubt I' that they ar? unfit for the work ff tafcHtai 4hey remain ?tient, and ^tr?ttkemselves.with voting perhaps s? they deem beut for the public interests, or at least the colored public intexeets. But not so with Nash and Thompson. We notice that in thc matter of the Ab - contested election case, Nash ith bitterness, abd waa inclined io* He wanted to throw dirt the Democratic member elect-Mr. Oothran-and to accomplish tho purpose be, the said Beverly, waa willing "for the occasion ito easmp outside af the Constitu? tion"-^ Idea got from thad Stevens. So, too, with Coroner, Magistrate, and Representative Thompson; who, though no great carpenter or musician, is doubt? less a better carpenter And musician than law-maker. - Ble proposes to extend the limits of this city. Tho oity is already both broad and long, with empty lots nore numerous than occupied ones. Already it extends one mile in each direction from the State House. Already we can scarcely keep up tho fonce. Yet bf hi? own. notion, without any intima? tion of a. publio want, he rises in his Mm iv'tfais member from Richland-and proposes to extend considerably the limits of this city. Let ns ask now, what is tho motivo of this move? Did she publio good inspire the thought? T^? behove not. Thompson is simply at one of the tricks of bis party. This is a radical game. Columbia has a Demo? cratic Conn oil end mnnioipal govern? ment. Here Is where the boot pinches. Thompson and his sympathizers want to extend the area ot tho voters. Thomp? son is a fisher of voters, and of colored voters,'and he wapts so to throw his net as to haul in a large draught of black Ask. It is proposed, in offoot, to renew in Columbia the scones enacted in Charles ton/ Thompson wants to have a bear garden here, as in tho "city by the sea." If he would refer this, matter to Parson Gain, we are sure that ho-will advise Representative Thompson to let the mat ter alone. Here, in Colombia, we do not want any member of the City Co a neil to shoot at his nephew, and, what is worse, to miss him. But, to speak se riously, it is to be hoped that the Legis? lature will decline to entertain the pro posed ohange. It is unoalled-for. It is a party move, and the Legislature eau not regard it its duty to do more than to lay the bill upon the table. Hereafter it may be well to extond the limits of the city; but not so now. Let us improve and build up what we now have, before opening new fields. The moro consoli dated the business of the city is, the bet? ter it is for trade, and within certain limits, the Same principle holds for private residences. Columbia ueeds fill? ing up, and not expansion. Her bones shosnow. Put fat upon her as sho now stands. Give symmetry to her aa we now find her, and it will be bettor for all par? ties. If Sam. B. Thompson, Esq., is anxious to got at the business of expan? sion/ let him enlarge bis own mind, and he will find work enough for his life-time, even allowing that he will live to a green old age. We have not yet seen the bill on the snbjeet of extending the city limits. Upon getting it, wo shall have more to say on the same subject. In the meantime, let those who advocate the measure give their reasons therefor. We would like to know upon what grounds, nominal or real, the measure is put. The New York Times and Baltimore Sun refer in a somewhat ironical tone to the resolution adopted by the Legisla? ture of this State, with reference to Cuba. We thought it was generally known that a large majority of the mem? bers of that body belong to what is known as the "trooly loll" party; and the origi? nator of she resolutions is a black mac, who hails from Massachusetts. The "rebels" of this State agree with the New York Times-they have seen enough of war. Tan CONG AUBE Rrvxn BRIDGE.-We notice that a bill is before tho Legislature on this snbjeot. We believe it is pro posed to bay the interest of the stock holders and'to make-it a free- bridge. It is eminently desirable that this bridge be rebuilt. With our own eyes we saw it fired and consumed, and we would like now to see it go up again, either by pub? lic or private means. Let the work be done.

THB JUDICIARY.-The Legislature will have to supply the vacancy on the bu preme Bench, and it is contemplated to create an additional circuit, to consist of Beaufort and its neighboring Counties.

In oase of an election of a Cir? cuit Judge to supply a vacancy occasioned by the ol o va ti on of either of these Judges to the Supreme Court, Colonel C. W. Miller ia spoken of as a proper man for the oironit. He is a native of Sumter, a graduate of tho South Carolina College, and reputed to be a sound lawyer, a good scholar, and an honest, impartial man in every way qualified for the position. The country wants qualification for office. JUDGE GEORGE S. Bur AN.-We were pleased to mset with our friend, Judge Bryan, of the Federal Court, now in session here. Judge B. is discharging the duties of his high office with accus? tomed acceptability to tho law, the law? yers and the jurymen. South Carolina is fortunate in having one like Judge B. in this position-a man alive at once to what is doe to the Federal Government and the people of South Carolina, and at all times disposed to look with indul? gence upon man's frailty, and ever ready, as far as be can, to temper justice with mercy. There is one salient peculiarity that has ever marked the administration of Judge Bryan. Although a Union mau always, and one who never could see wisdom in the Confederate move? ment, yet he bas shown a respect for the views of those who thought differently, and hence, he has never outraged the sensibilities of our people, .or deemed it his duty to prononnce anathemas either apon the "Lost Cause" or its noble de? fenders. It is this that entitles Jndge B. to the regard and respect even of "ex rebels," and hereafter, when time shall have whitened his locks, it will be a pleasing reflection to him and to L?E friends, that though a Federal Judge, he did not lose the consideration of native born Carolinians-naturally no lovers oi a Government that, under its radica] auspices, had outraged their sensibilitiec and ignored their rights. CRUMBS.-We learn that the Presi? dency of a Florida Bailroad has beet tendered to our fellow-citizen, James G Gibbes, Esq. Whilst we desire thii gentleman to advance his interest, \v< hope that Columbia may not lose i citizen who stood with cheerful counte nance and open hands amid Sherman'i ruins, and who since has been as usua unselfish and enterprising. We can il afford to loso so useful a man, and w< don't think he will leave us. The horse advertised in the Puoxn on Sunday morning as stolen, was re oovereu by Mr. Taylor yesterday. Shi had been carried off by a freedman who, finding he was in danger of arrest turned the animal loose about sixteei miles below Columbia. The Winnsbor? News and other papers which were re quested to copy the advertisement, wil please omit it. A. C. Kaufman, Esq., the Charlestoi broker, "spreads himself" in this morn ing'u PnczNrx. Any of our citizens whi have business in his line to attend to are requested to give him a call. Messrs. Bryan Sc McOarter have pre sen ted us with the January numbers o Peterson's Ladies' National Magazine am Qodey's Lady's Book-both of which ar rich in fashion plates, etc. The feasibility of tho construction o a street railroad in Columbia is beini discussed; and we hope soon to be abl to record that active steps have bee: taken in the matter. Light one-hors cars-the driver also acting as cou doctor-could be pnt on; and we ar confident that liberal subscriptions wool be made by the business men of on oity to carry out the projeot. Dr. E. C. Yoong and Isham Cox Quakers-held a religions meeting at th Washington Street Churob, last night and, the "spirit having moved them, delivered excellent addresses, which, a weare informed, were attentively listone A number of army ornoo rs attached t this poet, effect nolly "surprised" Gol Scott last night; and several boors wax very agreeably spent-the ladies landis their bid to make the time pass as plot santly as possible. THE LAST Gorro? BTOKY.-Wo loara that Col. C., ot this oity, who planted huy?HKE! mttoiM-1?$rab#mit ?t? ti* binds enough 4b pi?*it*lL His nlT trw, as reporte^ th^t t^a colton piftceriihad to clfrnb the cotton stalks in allasses. As a general mle, a six footer hand could easily reach the cotton bolls with a ten foot pole. We were struck with the Colonel's ingenious method of picking cotton on his Shang? hai stslks. At the end of his ten foot rod a wooden hand waa attached ; to the Anger a of tnfs hand a cord was tied, and upon this cord being pulled by tho man below, the said fingers would contract, and dexterously applied to the open bolls, they would most beautifully ex? tract the "fleecy cotton," "Spotless as descending snow." Who will say either that Southern soil is not productive, or that Southern genius is not inventive? If any, speak, for him have we offended. ORATION AT TUE UNIVERSITY.-This evening, in the Chapel, within the walls of the South Carolina University, an oration will be delivered before the Lite? rary Sooieties of the University. Colonel W, B. Wilson, of York, will be the speaker. We advise the publie to at? tend, and we hope that tho intelligent ladies and gentlemen of our oity will greet the speaker with a large audience. We have heard Colonel Wilson upon more than one occasion. It will be an intellectual treat to hear him, we feel sure. Colonel Wilson is one of the moat prominent lawyers of Yorkville-is a whole-souled Carolinian-an accom? plished gentleman, and a speaker of earnest, persuasive and attractive de? livery. Tho students could not have made a better selection, and we shall bo pleased to hear him upon the theme of the evening. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT-MON? DAY, December 6.-Hon. Geo. S.

D46 In the active pursuit of pleasure or gain, the inestimable blessing of health is too often forgotten, until disease is firmly seated, and the fact only realized by great bodily and mental suffering. The liver is the vulnerable point in most persons, and the disarrangement of that organ involves almost the whole system, therefore the reason why, under liver disease, there is enumerated such a num? ber of nftlictions, and we claim the Sim? mons Liver Regulator to be a remedy for them all.
