A Visit to f)olumbit?.
Professional business having called us to Columbia
last week, itmay not. pcrhaps.be amiss j
to recount for the benefit of our readers, what j
we saw and heard while at the capitol,andto
give them some insight into the workings
of the Legislature now in session there. Accordingly,
to begin at the beginning, we sallied
forth on last Wednesday morning, and
arriving within a hundrod yards of tlic dc
pot, heard a stentorian voice proclaim, in
unmistakable tones, "all aboard," whereupon,
the whistle blew and the train started,
but surrendering our dignity, we gave way
to our pedal extremities, and dashing
through six inches of mud, boarded the
train out of breath. Our old friend, the
stewardess, was, however, left behind, the'
6h? shouted herself hoarse in her cflorts to
make herself heard. Arriving in Columbia
and haviug repaired damages, we went over
to the Carolina Hall, where Judge Melton
was engaged in trying the case of the State j
vs. Samson, for forgery of State Bonds, we '
believe, and Mr. Niles G. Parker was called
as & witnes3 for the prosecution but did not
answer. lie had been bound over regularly,
but did not come to time. A bench
warrant was issued, but still Niles G. was
not forthcoming. The sheriff was then ordered
to show cause why he had not executed
the process of the warrant, but coming in
just then, in reply to a question by the
Judge, he said that he and five deputies
had searched the city for Parker, every
committee room in the State House and the
~ -i*~ i?i. ?i.i n..,i
Uovcrnors omcc uui. uuuiu ucuuvi uu? u^i
nor learn his whereabouts. The Judge discharged
the rule, and stated that he intended
to exhaust the powers of the Court and
puuish the officers for not obeying its orders,
or else have Mr. Parker to appear, lie was
however, finally fuund. Leaving the Couit
room, we wended our way to. the State
House, where the General Assembly had
just began their session cf the day. The
House of .Representatives were debating the
passage of the Metripolitan Police Bill (the
Charleston "Pill") and several members
spread themselves, especially one honorable
gentleman, with a large head, supported by
an extremely feeble body, who belabored the
opposition seemingly to his supreme satisfaction,
but to our great anxiety, for we felt
alarmed lest his neck might give way under <
the pressure of the many contortions to
which he subjected it. He was from Char
leston, but we have not the distinguished
honor of knowing his "enittels." The lion.
C. C. Bowen, the father of the bill, stood by
serenely smiling, but his little game was defeated
by a very decided vote. Speaker Moses
was only visible as to his head, the remainder
of his person was concealed by the
desk in front of him. Over this he peered
with watchful eye, using his gavel unspar-1
ingly and paying but little attention to the
noisy harangues of the debators. Wc would '
suggest that his seat be raised a few feet ;
in order that more of the best looking man 1
in the House may be seen. Passing over
to the Senate, we found Leslie belaboring
"YVhittcmorc and Nash, who seemed quite
accustomed to it. The relief of getting into
this quiet place was very decided, end it appeared
really respectable by comparison with
J v 4 the
noiso and heat of the House. Gur non- j
resident Senator was in his seat, and also
came in for a portion of Leslie's sarcasm.? j
The lobby has been converted into a kind of;
a restaurant, where one can procure almost
anything^ in the way of meat or drink, anjl
the maums, with their apples and groundnuts,
have found their way here also. These, |
our first impressions, were decidedly unpleasant,
and have not worn offsince, although we
do not regard ourselves as prejudiced. The
utter lack of dignity, the evident shirking
of real work, tha verbose and empty, the
stupid and wandering remarks, on the part
of the members, impressed us as being cxcecdinly
out of place. The House, especially,
reminds us more of a boy's debating society
than an assembly of law-makers, and
one and all seemed more intent in beating
his opponent in debate than in enacting laws
for the benefit of their constituents. Certainly
the most busy persons in that branch
of the assembly, were the little pages who
were hurrying to and fro without interuaiss

had gone there to ploy at law-making,

The South Carolina Railroad?Roes
the Company Do Justice to Cam*
den ?
Ma. Editor :?Permit me, on behalf of
many who arc equally interested, to make
through the columns of your valuable paper,
certain inquiries. It is well known that
several months since, the Wilmington, Columbia
and Augusta Rail Road Company,
established a connection by steamer, between
their road and Camden, and almost concurrently,
the South Carolina Rail Road gave
us a daily freight, separate and distinct from
the usual passenger and mail train. Here,
lately, however, this, train lins been withdrawn,
and the passenger is converted into
a kind of heterogenous compound, carrying
passengers, mail, freight, and for aught we
know, lumber and dirt. By means of this
the train does not usually leave Camden until
an hour behind schedule time, and busi
less men have to wait until next morning
Tor their letters, ae the outgoing mail closes ?
before the arrival of the incoming. Not *
L?nly so, hut passengers are subjected to the
nauseous smell of guano, which is now be- c
ing transported in large quantities to this t
market, and a ride of forty miles in close *
proximity to a car or several ears of Pcruvi- r
an or any other guano, is particularly un- j
pleasant to the olfactories, forcibly impress- j
ing the unfortunate passenger with tho be- i
lief not only that "there is something rotten
in the State of Denmark," but that the outirc
concern must be in the same u composed
and offensive condition. These are some of <
the inconveniences to business and persons
traveling, but still greater ones remain to be i
told by the latter, particularly. At the
junction of this rQad with the W. C. & A.
R. R., there is no stopping place whatever, ,
and in the great majority of instances, per- j
sons arc compelled to go on to Columbia and
He over uti^il evening before they can get
away. Frequently it occurs that passengers
are carried on to Middleton depot, and arc
drivep to the necessity of walking back to
the junction, before they can pursue their
journey. All this arises from the rivalry
existing between the two roads, and they
prefer to subject their patrons to all theso
annoyances rather than submit to a reasonably
compromise, which if proposed by the
South Carolina lload, would doubtless be
accepted by the other. And it must not be
forgotten that the Camden Rranch was torn
up to yearly half of its length, to rebuild the
main line of the S. C. R. R., and our commerce
suffered such a severe blow from that
action, that it has not yet leeovered itself,
and it was not until the company was
/ureal by law, that it rebuilt our road. Our
people have not been paid any dividends on
their stock since the war, worth speaking
of, and an opportunity now presents itself
for disposing of our stock, which, unless
prevented by meeting our just demands, will
be done by a good many who have lost confidence
in the management.
It may be said that the business of this
Branch would not warrant a daily freight
in addition to a daily passenger train, bat
that objection can be successfully met, by
observing that if the proper facilities were
presented for the transportation of goods
and that fact made known to the people of
t-v i* /-ii??r._u t
i^anington, ^iiusiuruuiu, Jjautu^iui, uuiiiu-i
and our own county, the business of the road
would be doubled, and we would hear no
more of its being unprofitable. This exhibits
the short-sighteclncss of the policy adopted
by the management in withdrawing our
road at a very critical period, when if the
course herein advocated had been adopted,
the South Carolina Rail Road would have
swept this entire country and made itself a
favorite thoroughfare. And if the company
could afford to run a daily freight train to
Camden before the war, it certainly can do
so now, because though more business was
done then, yet now the rates of tariff are
doubled, and the people would not object to
paying them if the proper facilities were
afforded for a rapid transportation of goods
and produce.
It does seem to me that wisdom would
dictate to the management a broader and
more liberal policy towards us than exists,
especially now that the life of the company
is threatened by the proposition of the
Georgia Central Rail Road to lease the S.
C. R. R., and pay 4 per cent, dividont annually,
which at first sight appeal's tolc
quite a liberal offer, very captivating ai.d
seemingly not at all dangerous.
* ' 11 i- i H I ii..
Attention snouiu aiso oe caucu 10 1,11c
horribly tin sale and rough condition of tlie
Camden Rranch. ]t is simply out of the
question to travel on it with even the slightest
degree of comfort or pleasure, and the
jolts and bruises which one receives in
| traveling it, gives a lively sense of insecurity,
I and it is a positive feeling of relief to know
that you are safely arrived at cither terminus.
Heavy trains behind time, with a passenger
car or two in the rear, are run with
speed over the most unsafe portions of the
road, and is only by the mercy of Providence
that dreadful accidents do not frequently
occur. Here again, the management require
spectacles, because in the event of an accident
and loss of life, limb and property, the
company would be subjected to much greater
pecuniary loss than the repairing of the
the read would by any possibility involve.
These considerations, Mr. Editor, induce
me to appeal to the Company through the
public, in 110 captious spirit, but merely to
lay our just claims before them and request
that they either take measures looking to an
amelioration of our condition, or let us know
what to expect, in order that wc may also
take # such steps as seem necessary to us in
this our extremity.

_ A Goiulla's First SrEEcn.?Henry
I .Snapp, the new Member or Congress Jrom
Illinois, who made his maiden speech in the
House on Wednesday of last week, in opposition
to Civil Service Reform, was certainly
eminently successful if his object was
to create a sensation. If a gorilla, representing
a constituency of lions, tigers and apes
in Central Africa, had arisen from a scat in
the House, lie could hardly have created
more amusement or astonishment. A crowd
of members gathered about him, and a '-'row
of Democrats," three deep, stood before him
to receive the shock of the occasional attacks
which he directed against them. Mr. Snapp
declared the plan of Civil Service Reform to
be a contrivance of the Democrats to break
I up the Republican party. Turning to the
"row of Democrats three deep," he said:
"You are hungry for offices, but you can't
come it." With this the gentleman placed
his thumb on his nose and wiggled his fingers
in token of supreme contempt, and by
various othor remarkable gestures and contortions
the member showed that statesmanship
has gained what the negro minstrel
business could ill afford to lose;

A Want Never Before Supplied.?In
he South where Liver Couiplaiut and Bil3U3
diseases prevail to so great an extent,
here has long been felt the need of a niediinc
that would act specifically and promptly
in the liver, restoring it to its normal funcions,
and at the same time safe from aftcr:fTccts.
and yet so simple that any one nii^ht
ise it. It is now admitted by all that Dr.
rutx's Vegetable Liver Pills supplies
his want. They are now prescribed by the
nost eminent physicians throughout the
Eolith.
Augusta, November 8th, 186ft.
Dr. W. II. Tuft:
Dear Sir.? That you deserve the thanks >
)f the public for the introduction of your
Vegetable Liver Pills, no one who has ever
taken thcui will deny. I consider them n
blessing to suffering humanity. 1 have used
them in my own case and in my family for
some time with the greatest success. Their
action is gentle, but certain, producing no
griping nor requiring any change of diet ?
That they will find, their way to every part
of the country, I have no doubt. I cordially
commend them to the afflicted.
Yours, etc.,

The History of a National Remedy.
?Hero is the history of the most celebrated
touicof the age in a nutshell. .In 1860
it was announced that a certain combination
of vegetable ingredients, with, a pure diffusive
stiuiulaut, was working wonders in the
cure of chronic dyspepsia, nervous debility,
liver complaint, periodical fevers, rheumatism
and constitutional weakness. The un-1
pretending name given to the spocific was
Plantation Bitters. The statement attracted
the attention of invalids everywhere.
The new remedy received a fair trial, and
the results more than confirmed all that had
been said iu its praise. Thenceforward it
was a grand success. The business columns
of the press spread tlie gluvious news far and
wide, and the martyrs to indigestion,'biliousness.
physical prostration and premature. decay,
as il" by common consent, sought relief
from the new vcgctablo restorative. They
/bund irhitf they sought. From that time to
the present the increase in the present in
the demand for Plantation Bitters has been
one of the most striking events in this age.
