ButW to his seat in the 1'. S. Senate, to which he wis elected by the General As.-cn.bly of South Carolina last spriug, was terminated at two o'clock on Sstur-lay morning, by the adoption of a resolution declaring him entitled to ndrui.-s'on. whereupon he was duly 9worn in. Xot only will Genera' Butler's [.crsonalj'riends rejoice at hii success, hut every good citizen in the country will hear with the greatest pleasure that South Carolina is one* * - . n*., m<"<re repres*.ntrd ia itie l uitea oiaic Senate. The Lien Law. In accordance with an act of the General assembly, parsed late last Spring, the li? ri lav will be repealed on and after the first day of next January ; and the question arises, how wiil a very large number of oar farmers obtain supplies with which to carry on their agricult urnl operations during the coming year? There is but one unswer to the iuterrogitori's. and that ia, thousands o! f..nm in the State wiil be uncultivated for the next twelve months, unless the time for tho r poal of the li?.;i law it extended until the first of Juuuary 1879. Planters and business nu n gen* crdly want tho law repealed, because they hare soon and felt its evil effects Ipt they think the act in question win pas-cd too pracipita'ely. The semot was f.r advanced, the craps had brer plunlt-d, and very few persons had sufficient notice to prepare for the ciisL that is now about to come upon them In nnr iudirement. the time for tin J r~ repeal of the law should be extended ai least twelve month*, so that every on< may have ample t'uie to Ly in a ful supply of food for man and bca-t.

Senate as Senator i from that State. It being almost a foregone conclusion that Speaker Wallace will le elded to J the Judgeship of the Seventh Circuit, made vacant by the resignation of Judge Northrop, the contest for the Spcjk< rship increases in interest, 'lhe candidates for the position are Messrs. Aid- , rich, of Barnwell, Orr, of Andervon. Siiuonton. of Charleston, and Sheppard, of Kdgcfield, with the chances in favor of the la!-t named gentleman. A PULL Democratic ticket has been nominated for Mayor and Alderman of ,Charleston. Mr. D. F. Fleming, a prominent merchant of the ei*y, has suffered himself to be trotted out as an independent Democratic candidate for Mayor, but Major Sale, the regular | nominee, will almost surely be e'ected As soon as Hon&t John J.
