eoLUitfBiA. c. Friday Morning, December 6, 1872. tumal?1 he 8e??CorabIp. We dropped in on a Senatorial canons, hold in the Houaa of Representatives, on Wednesday evening, Speaker Lee in tbe| chair. The war-horae, as be was called,' J. Felder Mjers, of Orangebarg, led off ill a u*mbliug speech in favor of Elliott. Ho was distressed with apprehension that all candidates bat his own would resort to tho use of improper meats. The candidates themselves next appeared on the stand?Samuel T. Pointer, ac? cording to parliamentary aeage, present? ing himself first, as the yoangest. He was tho young men's candidate, he said, and proved himself a capital humorist. The yonog men had looked long and wistfully upon this distinguished posi? tion. They modestly thought that the ?older men, feeling .the touch of age, had better make way in their favor. If elected, tbey meant to establish post offices at every cross roads, as a means of diffusing education. They proposed to build a custom house in Columbia, on the Congnree River, and conueot it by steamboats and otherwise with all the great ports of Europe and America. They would establish national banks. They would appoint consuls all over Europe, who would see to it that the ?goods imported thence into this country should oome right here. Peace and good order should reign all over the State, and all over the United States, if only the young men could get their can? didate in, &o. Wo incline to favor tho man who gobs for pos? offices and cus? tom houses, and fat appointments and spoils* with snob hoaeat vim and hamor .OUS vonhovrmie. - R. B. Elliott rested his claims upou 'His manhood and general fitness for tho office. Ho claimed nothing for bis race aa snob, apart from qualifications. At the same time, he maintained the justice ?of representation of that raoe, other ?things being equal, as an element in our population which deserved recognition. Ex-Gov. R. E. Scott gave a sketch of bis services and proofs of bis genuine Republicanism, to show bis title to sena? torial honors. Rainey, who spoke next, humorously suggested, that if they could not agree upon either black or white, it might be advisable and relieve their per? plexity to take him as a compromise candidate/'0.S he represented, in Sis per? son- both races and colorb. In other re? spects, this speech was a good one, indi? cating a jusV sense.of the importance of the positioQi ?nd the necessity of a man of high merit to fill it adequately. Ho Beet. John Patterson felt himself entitled to be a Senator from South Carolina. He had been a Republican always, in the glorious old free State of Pennsylvania. The State of his adoption needed deve? lopment of its resources, and he was the man to do the great work. Judge Maakey, Daddy Cain, Judge Wright and Parson Adams guve their views. Theso straws show which way the wind blows. Elliott, Scott nnd Pat? terson seem to bo the foremost nags; but the raoe is not always to the swift. They all seem to be more or less affected with the epizooty, and need the purifying influence of carbolic aoid and assafcotida to' bring them to -their best speed. Poinier, if ho trains well, and reduces his flesh, may make good time. Seriously, cannot the Republicans find a moderate man, of good abilities and irreproachable character, one not mixed ni> with land commission, pay certificate, bond and scrip speculations, or with any other form of jobbery and fraud, upon whom to bestow this high office? We need a first class man in the Senato, one who will honor tho position as well as receive honor from it; and one, too, who has not beon identified with tho party strifes and contentions of the last four or five years, and fitted by unimpeacha? ble character, high talents and industri? ous habits, to represont the new era and the new departure which we wish to see inaugurated in the Stute. ????-? FtiBDY Bet.?It has beeu meutioned in tho cablo despatches that tho com? mander of the armed expedition of the Viceroy of Egypt into Central Africa is Pnrdy Boy, an American. It is pro somed that ho is E. Sparrow Purdy, born in New York city, and sou of Gov. Samuel Purdy, of California. He en? tered tho service of the Viceroy about two years ago as au offioor of engineers, sad roso rapidly in promotion until he became chief of staff in the engineer department. Ho was with tho Califor? nia regiment at Bull's Bluff, and subse? quently served in many actions. He is thirty-four years of ago. RobertT. Riggina, confined iu York jail, recently prevented tho escapo of a fellow-prisoner. This is tho third time be has beon instrumental in preventing escapes?onco in Columbia and twice in York. -m . Wmm frtiw PnwWg? la the House of Bepreeentatives, yes? terday, Mr. J. Folder Myers, as Chair? man of the Committee oa Public Print? ing, made a' favorable report oh the joint resolution which had been submitted to that committee^ which appropriates $250,000 for the payment of the printing claims of the Republican Printing Com? pany, for work ordered by the Oener&l Assembly, at the sessions of 1870-71 and 1871-72, and $75,000 for the payment of outstanding olalmB for the publication of the laws in - the -various newspapers of thb State. The report, after being dis? cussed temperately, and at no great length, waa referred to the Committee of Ways and Means,' for a more, thorough consideration. It will oome up again soon upon its merits, and when the con? tract has been examined, and tho items and charges for work done are put fairly in our view, we can judge of its fairness and justioe more intelligently than we can at present. Wo notioe the disooB sion upon it yesterday briefly. Mr. Robertson, of Beaufort, (a now member,) was astounded at the sum total, and stood appalled at tho glaring inconsistency of the professions of re? form and retrenchment yet lingering on tho lips of members, and the readiness now apparent on the part of some to foo?so extravagant a bill aa this. South Carolina was already a disgrace in the eyes of all America, and even of Europe. The great task before the Legislature now was to do its part in restoring good government here, and to bring its ex? penses properly witffin its means. If they work faithfully for right, justice and economy, thej Trill jot make the State the brightest in tho whole galaxy, and endow it with every excellence of talent, virtue and beauty. Ia tho course of Mr. Robertson's re? marks wo saw the ox-parson cropping out, and recognized the professional philanthropist, who oame from foreign parts to givo us new ideas of civiliza? tion. Mr. Boston, of Newberry, desired to sco tho items. Mr. J. Felder Myers de? fended the justice of the bill. It was charged fairly, according to contract, and tho contract was givon out accord? ing to low. It was biuding, therefore, and, besides that, the Republican Print? ing Company had conferred lasting ben? efits on the Republican party. Mr. Fraser, of Benoiorb, objooted to Myers? that ho took his "substruction" from the last House of Representatives. Dr. Bosemon defended tho report, but re? gretted tho large amounts found to be due. Ho favored its. reference, to the Committee of Ways dud Means. He did not seo any good prospect of getting out of it. The work had been done under contract and aooordiug to it. It is due and must bo paid?how, ho did not know or pretend to say. Possibly it might be somewhat scaled. Tho ac? counts of the newspapers might be re? duced, perhaps. The tronble was, that this printing had been recklessly or? dered, contrary to his advico and wishes. His foars of the result were now justi? fied, and his predictions had come true. War against the Liberal Republicans in the Senato is already declared. It has been proclaimed that Sohurz will be removed from the Committee on Foreign Relations, Trumbull from the Chairman? ship of tho Judiciary Committee, Tipton from the Committee on Pensions, and Foiiton will be obliged to tnke a buck seat. These Senators, it is averred, will loso nearly all tho patronage they havo hitherto possessed, which, by the way, has not amounted to much for somo time. JoSETIUNE MANSFIBXiD ImI'OVEMSUED. It is stated that a gentleman recently ar? rived from Paris says that the notorious Josephine Mansfield nppoared -in that eity sonio weeks ago. Sho hnd about $37,000 in mouey. This she deposited in the banking houso of Bowles Bros. When tho failure of that houso was an nouueed, sho wrung hor hands in grief, and declared that sho waa ruined. It is not probable that sho will recover a ccut of hor money. Siuco his return to Washington, Sona tor Sumncr, in conversation with a Herald correspondent, avowed his de? termination to posh through his civil rights bill, dofeatod by bis Republican associates last session, nnd declares that it shall yet havo a placo iu tho statute book of tho nation. Ho also intends to advocate the abolition of tho electoral college and a direct vote for President by the poople. Mr. Wm. Teal, of Rutherford County, N. 0., convicted of Ko Kluxing, and sentenced to throe years' imprisonment iu tho Albany penitentiary, but par doucd on account of ill-health, died on tho steamer Wyanoke, on tho 2d, an sho was being tiod up to tho wharf at Nor? folk.

At 2.45, adjourned. To the Editor of the Phoiiiix.?Sm: The country newspapers have at differ? ent times expatiated on the grievances of tho country merchants iu various places'of this State?said merchants who deal iu liqaors, wines, syrups aud other liquids, which are shipped to thorn by certain Charleston merchants, without having been previously regauged by sworn gangers of that place; so that the deficiency in the qu ntity caused by leaking, tapping, or auy other cause, that have taken place between Charles? ton and the places where they have been imported iroui, is tho ios? of t'uo country merchants, biuce they have to pay for tho quantity ascertained by the original ganging. Toward the end of last September, the Charleston Daily News, when uu swering ou the matter to country corres? pondents, said (hat liquids were usually sold in Charleston according to tho New York gauging; that there was no city ordinance compelling tho regaugiug of liquors 13 Charleston; but that tho coun? try merchautH or buyers had the right in all cases to demand tho regaugiug of the liquors, aud tho merchants selling uro bonud to comply, etc. Now, tho same paper, (the News,) in its issue of the 27th of last mouth, whou rcportiug the proceedings of the lust session of the City Couuoil of Charles? ton, states that a resolution has been in? troduced, and adopted, by which the Mayor is authorised to license as many candidates for gaugers and naval store inspectors as may be recommended by dealers, etc." Is that the redress wo country dealers iu liquors, etc., cau obtain from the City Councilor Charleston? Evidently such a resolution has for object and effect the only interests and accommodation of Charleston mcrchauts, and will certainly help certain merchunts iu entirely escap? ing tho regular guuging by competent gaugor.?, (sworn.) Of course we do not speak of a certain class of merchants, who would never resort to any thing of the kiud. But we may say positively that when being lately iu Charleeton, and buyiug liquors, they ware gauged in our presence by sumo clerks or persons attached to tho establishment, and that their gauge) proved to bo more than in? correct, to our dotriment, when, for our own satisfaction, wo had them regauged afterwards by sworn gaugers of the place. Is it not surprising that in a commer? cial contro, as Charleston is, tho Com? mon Council, said to be composed of reformers, do not see that, unless a remedy is brought to impositions of that kind, the country dealers iu liquors will dispense as much as possiblo to trade iu u place where their interests are not protected, as in any other commercial city, where all liquids, sold by barrel, must be rogauged before being shipped, and this under n heavy penalty. Hoping you will give room in yon co Inmus to our protest and complaints, wo remain vour moat obedient servants. * , ? MANY MEUCHA NTS. Columbia, December 4, 1872. Loss or Lifr nr Fiue ?The burning of Wright's giu-house and store on Edis to Island, about two weeks ago, has nl ready beeu reported, and was caused by odo of the hands striking a match.

The Human Kitchen and its Dcmh Waiters.?The body is supplied with aliment by vessels which connect the otomaoh and its auxiliaries with the venous system, and, so to speak, per? form the office of dumb waiters in a i-es tauranl. In other words, these media of communication between tho animal kitchen and its dependents supply to each member and organ, near or remote, the quantity and kind of sustenance re? quired to keep it going. When the stomach is derelict in its duty, or the dumb waiters inert or obstructed, it is the peculiar provinco of Hostetter's cele? brated Stomach Bitters to strengthen and regulate them. Hence its marvel? ous cures of chronic indigestion, and the emaciation, debility and languor which are generally its concomitants. It is, moreover, a powerful alterative and cor? rective, and the rapidity with which it checks irregularities of tho liver and bowels, and braces and invigorates the nervous system, is a marvel, not only to tho general public, but to professional men. Dlt3?Il Prof. Agnssiz is quoted as authority for tho Btartling calculation that in less than nineteen centuries from tho present date, Lake Erie will be quite emptied of water. In view of this prediction, it is reported that the hackmen and guides nt Niagara Falls have resolved upon a still further increase of their charges, in order that they may lay by something from their earnings bofore their business is brought to an end. A few days ago a vivacious and band somo young lady, Miss Mobs, 'whose father is reported to have a high posi? tion under the English Government, reached Knoxville, Tennessee, having como all the way from England to wed her affianced lovor, who preceded her several months, and is n resident of the above plaoo.
