COLUMBIA, S. G. 8uu lay Morning, April 5, 1874. The Connecticut IS lectio m To-morrow, tbe Gth instant, an elec? tion will take plaoe in Connecticut, when a Legislature, Governor and State officers will be ohoson. As great inte? rest is felt in this election, it - may be well to notice tbe results of past politi? cal contest* iu that State. From l?56 to 1866, botb inclusive, tbe State went, regularlv Republican by majorities vary? ing from' 11,000 in 1865 to 541 in 1870. In ten elections since 1866?eight for Governor and two for President?tbe State ha? been Republican six times; while in tbe elections for Governor alone, eaob party has carried tbe State fear t:s?s. la ihcGs ?l?oiiw- o, the ag? gregate Republican majority, inolndiug a plurality of 100 in 1672, was 1,098, and the aggregate Demo oratio majority was 6,868. Last year, tbe Ddmocrats elected their Governor by a majority of 5,814. -Tbe present administration of the State Government has given great satisfuoiion. Tbe Governor?Charles J. Ingersoll?has made a wiso and dig? nified exeontive, and there is nothing for'which he and the subordinate State officers can be reproaobed. This is a strong card in the present oontcst. On the other hand, the course of the party in control, of the National Administra? tion has given great umbrage to the Re? publican voters, and there will be a heavy falling away at the polls, as in New Hampshire. The prospect is, that Con neotiont will - elect the Democratic State tioket by a significant majority, and that even the Legislature will be Demooratio. If tbe rottenborongh sys? tem did not prevail in the Wooden Nut? meg State, we should feel sure of a De? mooratio Legislature. Should the Demo, orats carry the L -'gislaturo, a Demooratio Senator will be chosen next winter. Bilboa.?Every day, ulmost, the cable telegrams bring to ns news from the present chief seat of war between the Spanish Government and the Carlisle. Of course the reports are both perplex? ing and conflicting, eaoh side olaimiug a substantial victory in every combat. At this distance we canuot pretend to deoide to which party the advantage bo longs, but as both attach great impor? tance to theresalt of the siege of Bilboa, a few words concerning this ancient town may not be out of plaoe: "Bilboa is an important town, oue of the most busy and thrifty in Spain, and has about 20,000 inhabitants. It was in ancient times theoapital of the provinoe of Bisoay, and is situated on a fine plain on the river Ibaizabal, abont sixteeu miles above its month. It was founded in the year 1300, and possesses an ex? tensive oommeroe, exporting chiefly iron, steel, wool, fish, corn and fruits. The town is,well built und paved. No wheeled carriages are allowed to pass along its streets, but all goods are car? ried in panniers on mules or in*sledges. Its manufactures are hardware, anobors, leather, tobuooo, paper bats and earthen? ware. Lirge vessels usually anchor at Portuguluto, near the month of the river, or at Olaviaga, about fonr miles below the town. Spring tides rise about thirteen feet; and by taking advantage of them, vessels of considerable size oooasiocally reach tbo town. Tho town is enolo8ud by lofty mountains, has a fine promonade along the river, whiob is here crossed by a new iron suspension bridge, and an old stone bridge of three arohes; it possesses numerous convents and monasteries, a town hall, oathedral, large new hospital and public slaughter house. It has also superior schools, supported by its tribunal of commerce, and a large public oemetery. Bilboa wa9 the Boehe of frequent contests iu former Carlist wars, and Zumalaoarregui, Genaral-in-Ohief of tbe Oarliats of that day, received his death would there on the 10th of Jone, 1835. ?<-??-? MbrbiXiT??This worthy is not yet out of the woods. Senator L5aj aid is deter? mined to press his resolution calling for information in regard to Morrib's re? ported delinquencies, and the Now York World*.* oatspoken in its denunoialions of the whole rasoally business. That paper now says that "ibid officer, whom Senator Scott so mnoh admires, and who was appointed to South Carolina from Kansas, is the very same Major Lowis Merrill who, while bis oommuud was iu the front, waged safo war in North Missouri upon women, preachers and inoffensive old men, and who made it his boast that he had bauishod 1,500 persons from that seotioo, for their opi i nion's sake." Tbo World gived, also, u complete history of Merrill's career in South Carolina, and concludes its article in these words: "It will thus bo soon, that in addition to his breach of tbo re? gulations of war, Merrill is criminally liable to the S mth Carolina Courts for lobbying a bill, for corruptly manipulat? ing tbe commission ander the bill in bis own interests, for presenting false and fraudulent claims beforo that commis? sion, and for procuring confessions from n number of persous by deceit, threats and promises, for vach of wbioh persons so confessing he and his associates re? ceived a roward of 3200." Merrill's sharo of the Ku Klnx re? wards was $21,400. i I . Thb Tax-Patches' Commotes in Wash I inqton.?The correspondent of tbe Charleston Netca ana] Courier writes ae foUo3uf I I ,|j f i ? j .Vice-President Wilson; received tbe delegates with much ?:?warmth, a?H ajjf appeared to take the greatest interest in t??ir"case. He made a ver/favorable impression upon his visitors. Among the other notables called npon wero the Secretary of War, Mr. 13elkuup; the Secretary of the Navy, Mr, Robeson; tho Seorotury of tbo Treasury, Mr. Biohardson, and other members of tbe Cabinet; Senutors Morton, Carpenter, Boutwell, Pratt, Logan, Fen ton and Bayard, Speaker Blaine and Representa? tives Daw es, Book, and a host of others. In evo-y instance, without any excep? tion, tho delegates wero weloomed with tbe respect dno to them as individuals, and with tbe sympathy and considera? tion to which the real representatives of eo !srge z ccistitucuGj ot wronged and buffering American oitizons aro entitled. Nowhere has their simple but appalling statement of our condition met with tbo slightest question. Among others with whom they oonversed were the entire Congressional delegation from South Carolina, Senators und Ropresentatives, eaoh of whom expressed himself unre? servedly in favor of the ends whioh tbe tax-payers aro seeking, though tbe sohemes by whioh some of them pro? pose to reaoh those ouds aro not exactly such as would be hailed with delight by the property-holding class. The plan of reform most iu favor just now with those who are supposed to represeut our State in Congress is to make Mr. ex-Attorney-General D. H. Chamber? lain, tbe next Governor of South Caro? lina. It will doubtless surprise most of your readers to hear that among tbe pleasant est of the many intervews which tbe delegates have had hero with public men, were those with Gen. William Te aumseh Sherman und Gen. Benjamin F. Butler. Sherman was in a particularly good humor when visited, and iadulged freely in jokes and reminiscences of Sullivan's Island in the olden time. There wero several of the delegates with whom be had formerly been acquainted, and as be stood pleasantly chatting with thorn, it was hard to realize that tbe I hero of Columbia was before us. Bun. Butler was very aordial; said that be knew things were bud in South Caro? lina, and promised that when tbe memo? rial comes before the Judiciary Commit? tee of tbo House, it "should have a fair showing." (This may mean u great deal, or it may mean uotbiug at all.) Ho Baid that wbeuever bo tried to do any? thing for the South, some busy-body in that part of tbe country would forth? with mail him a scrap of newspaper, I telling him what somebody or other ut tbe South had said about bim. He was beginning to think that it would bo a good thing for tho "country, if three or four of the Republican editors of the South were hangod. Ho actually could not cross tbe floor of the House of Rep? resentatives to talk to Young, of Geor? gia, without people remarking that "Butler is getting too intimate with tho d?d rebels." The conversation turned oa tbo prospoot of getting the black voters interested in reform, when one of tbe delegates despondingly assured tbo General, that he had made twenty-three speeches in the reform canvass to meet? ings of bis fellow-citizens. Every speech had" been received with vocife? rous demonstrations of applause and sympathy; but when tho polls wero opened, not five reform niggers could be found anywhere. "Ab!" elyly replied tbe E^sex statesman, "1 seo how it is. It was ull because you gentlemen will insist on spoiling nigger with two g's. j The visit was not time lost, by any | means. Butler is a power here, und 1 think ho will do what ho enn for tin, al wuyu provided that it does not clash, iu any wuy, with tho interests of B. F. B. I The samo correspondent telegraphs, under date of tho 3J: Tho ci.se of tho South Carolina tax? payers was considered to-day by tbe Judiciary Committee of tbe House, who appointed a snb-uommitteo, consisting of Tremaiue, of New York, Ehlridgo, of Wisconsin, and White, of Alabama, to boar tbo petitioners und their oppo? nents. The hearing will take place on Monday. Tho taxpayers' delegation j huvo appointed Messrs. Porter. Kor shaw, Elliott, Lathers and T. Y. Simous a snb-committeo to conduct their case. Tho rest of the delegation will return homeward to-morrow. The point now aimed at by the tax-payers is to induce the Judiciary Committee to recommend the appointment oft an investigating committee, so that Congress may be? come ollicially cognizant of tho condi? tion of South Carolina. This is consi? dered no indispensable preliminary to Congressional action. Tho delegation from tbe Tax-Payers' Convention and tbe Charleston Chamber of Commerce, upon reviewing oulmly tbe occurrences of tho past week, aro both hopeful and euconraged. They are assured on every side that their visit has boon already of great benefit to tbe State, and the indi? cations are that the final result, iu view of tho difficulties and embarrassments of their position, will bo satisfactory toj their constituents. j It is evident that a general disintegra? tion of national political partiot is likely to bo caused by tho bitter fights, proseut and future, ou tho currency question, und tho signs of the times portend a closo alliance between tho South and tbo West ngrtinut tho East. Tbo wider tbo split between tho hard-money meu of tho E?st and progressiva financiers of tbo West, tbo greater will be tbe oou sideration paid to tho Southern States. (Jen. B. F.

Tho following extract from the "Elec? tion Law" is published for general in? formation: "Sbo 9. All bar-rooms, saloons and other places for the sale of liquors by retail, shall be blo%ed at G o'clock of fbe evening preoediog tbe day of snob elec? tion, aud remain closed until G o'clock in the morning of tho day thereafter, and during the time aforesaid, tho sale of intoxicating liquors ia prohibited.

The regular and special policemen buve been instructed to report all viola? tions of above-stated law. JOHN ALEXINDER, Mayor. And uow wo uro informed that there is u panic in London, and tho Times of that city finds longer concealment of tho fact unnecessary. The beauty about n panic is that its presence can't bo rery well concealed, but makes itself known by uumistakublu manifestations. Well, New York has had a panic, Yienua has had a panic, and wo see no reason why Lvndou should not have one also. We hope, however, that its influence will not be felt upon this side of the water. The panic of last autumn has already been made the K?pe gout of evory rotten house and wild out corpo? ration which has oomo to grief, and we wich no more of it in tbie country. Tue Bank of tub Statk Hills.?In accordance with tho recent decision of the United StatesSupreme Court, which declared that tbo bills of the Bank of the State were receivable for State taxes, u number of tbo holders of the bills made a formal tender of tho bill* to the County Treasurer in payment of taxes. Tho teudor was refused, and proceed? ings were at once commenced to compel u compliance with the decree of thu court. Application has been made to Judge Graham for a rule against tho County Treasnrar, to show oamo why a bill of mandamus should uot bu issued compelling tbum to receive the bills in payment of taxes. Tbo Attorney-Gene? ral of tho State, who will appear for the Treasurer, has indicated tho 22 J of April as tho day on which ho will file a return, and the relators tire given uutil the 29th instant to reply to tho return. The case will on that day ho argued at chambers in Charleston. It is thought that only about $00,000 of the bills have boon tendered in payment of taxed through? out the State. Soue tea or twelve ?nun damns cases are ponding against County Treasurer Shaffer, of Walturboro, to show oausc why he has refused to take tho bills of the Hank of tho State in payment of taxes. The case will bu ar? gued ou the 8th instant, before Judge Malier, of the Second Circuit, who granted the writs. Mr. M. E. Hutchin? son uppoars for the potitiuuers, ami Carlos Trucy for tho respondent. United States Court.?Too Judge approved of tbo appointment of T. J. Wilbur us assigneo of Paul A; Webb, bankrupts. The petition for dual dis? charge of A. T. Black was read and re? ferred to tho registrar to report after final hearing and uotico to creditors. Tho petition of Jas. Sanders to establish lieu iu tho case of W. Allen, bankrupt, was read, and tho Judge ordered that tho previous order as to judgment of money to creditors bo suspended, and the time for lien creditors bo postponed until the 1st of May nest, and that tho registrar publish uotico. The petition of Mrs. Eliztbeth 11. Priuglo to bo al? lowed to prove debts iu the case of Ja men U. Pringle k Co., bankrupts, wus heard, and it was ordered that the peti? tion bu referred to J. C. Carpenter,.re? gistrar, ami that notice be given by him to tbe Dank of Charleston und to tbo as? signees of tho bankrupt'. ? - - Barn and Stadleh Burned.?The b.iru und Htables of Mr. Hoguu Motes, residing iu tho neighborhood of Cross Hill, was entirely destroyed by fire, in? cluding all Iiis long forage, gearing, &o , ou Wednesday night, 25th tilt. The fire was undoubtedly the work of an in ceudiary, us matches were found scat terod about near the situ of the burnt buildings. None of tho stock in thu j stables wus injured, tbey evidently hav ing boon turned out by tho perpetrator, or perpetrutor?, of tho deed. An effort was made to burn tbo gin house also, containing a quantity of cotton, but tbe effort proved a failure. A torch hud been thrown into tho lint-room, but went out before doing uuy damage, there being no lint iu the room, or uot enough at least, to net fire to the titulier. [L?urensvilla Herald. -Tim managers of several of tbo chari? table institutions in New York, proiupt | t*il by jealousy, have deritled tho action of Bennett iu establishing tho soup houses; whereupon tho Herald has re? torted by showing lip ia UU unenviable light all tho lending institutions of charity in tbo city. The exhibit shows that of tho amount received annually by them, ($2,707,011.) 8715,165 is spent in salaries to officers aud servants. It finds, also, that it takes tho appropria? tions of the city fur six years to pay tho salaries of one year, aud perhaps justly concludes that the poor do not receive their full share.

Columbia baa a fair proportion of bank ins;- institutions/ -'Efforts btre beer? made, frdm time ?p time, to] increase^ their number,*! bai without BaccesRfc which fully establishes the fact that we are welt' supplied, both as to number and accommodation. Tbo baukiug iy stitutions of this city, ns well us those of the State, buve ever held a deservedly popular position iu tho monetary circles of the country; and it is with feeling* of pride that we refer to the fuot that,, either before or since the war, but one of thorn have ever nuooumbed to u financial pressure; aud even that would probably have been nourishing to-day, had tho ShylockM b?en less avaricioap. It is woll kuowu that our bank* have exorcised large liberality toward the busioess uiou of our city, always bound? ed, of oiur.it), by proper discretion; tho latter being necessarily increased by tho recent panic. The profits of tbeso in? stitutions are sufficiently evidenced by tho development nod progree* they have made, both iu tho routiuu of business ahd iu their facility for transacting a Urge aud iucrousiug baukiug accommo? dation. We are led to these reflections by the gratifying exhibit of tho South Carolina Biuk uml Trust Company, which occupies a conspicuous position in tho columns of this morning's PlKENIX. This statement is the first which this btnk has made public?beiug for tbo quarter ending the 31at of Match, 187*?and is only published now in conformity with the Act of the General Assembly requiring its publica? tion. Hitherto this bank has made no public exhibit of its condition?nut that its officers feared a comparison with the other banks of tbo city, but ou the principle that silence is golden, and a sound institution sounds its own praise*. But now that the statement is before thu public, they oan shut one eye and sue that tbo companion speaks volumes in furor of tho South Carolina Bank and Trust Company; especially when we take into consideration the fact that it doea not enjoy tho privileges and benefits of a bank of issue. This bank passed through tho late disas? trous panic with a firmness and credit unsurpassed by any banking institution iu the Stute; and that successful fight with ouo of tbo Heverost of financial crises, bus served, if possible, to plant it more firmly iu tho pnblio conti ienoe, and place it on an enduring and im? movable basis. It will bo seen, by reference to the exhibit, that'this bank draws sight drafts on all the principal oities of tbe United States and Europe, receives till classes of deposits, on which, by agreomeut, liberal rates of iutere.-t are puid, and makes collections with a promptitude that guarantees continued patronage. The deposits now on hand approximate tho sam of $300,000, uside from the deposits of tho State, which mauifeflt:i tho confidence of the people in tbo soundness of the bank. This in? stitution has, for a length of time, been tho State depository, which is equally praiseworthy of its management. We cannot close this favorable array of fuctp, however, without rouderiug unto Ciosar tho things that areCiOwr's. The honor of the solidity of this bank aud its financial integrity are duo mainly to its efficient aud shrewd President, Hardy Salomon, E*q.?than whom a more suitable gentleman for tho position could scarcely bo found; and it is a most creditable choice on the part of the direction of tbe bank. As his financial ability und general business oupacity arc fully developed by a large aud increasing private business, tho South Carolina Bank and Trust Com? pany secure his enlarged experience, and thereby enable tbemsolvcs to com? mand public confidence so long us Mr. Solomon fills the presidency cf tbo in? stitution .

To tbeso three mediciues, Dr. J. H. Schenok, of Phila? delphia, owes his unrivaled success in tho treatment of pulmonary diseases. Tbe Pulinouio Syrup ripons tbe mor? bid matter iu the lungs; nature throws it off by un easy expectoration; for when tho phlegm or matter is ripe, a Blight cough will throw it off, tho patient has rest, and the lungs begin to heal.
