The Sitte Legisateere.
The common eomplaint of too much
legislation is certaiuly not applicable
to this State, and our legislators de
serve all praise for the desp'atch jtli
which thy.have, hn a sonf twen
ty-two days, transacted business,'which
to-uninitiated eyes seemed to have de
minded the attention of months. Our
own delegates have well done their
part. To Col. Asmnonn, as Chairman
of the Con.mittee on Claims, we see
a well merited conplinent in the
Charleston Standard," he is emiphati
oally the working man of the Douse.
Our old friend too Capt. GiaEEN has
not been idle, but lias shown himself a
skillful debater,-his speeches onl the
Electoral question, and in support of
Col. AsiuMonE's motion, to increase the
appropriation for the Free School find
from *37,200 to *74,400, (which was
passed,) coinmanaded strict attention.
A niong the bills carried throngh was
one amenii(ling the charter of the WN'il
niigton and Manchester Iail Road
Company so as to allow it to connect
with the Columbia branch of the South
Carolina Road, which the delapidated
condition of the Camden branch, as
evinced by the late accidents on that
Road has rendered extreielv derir
ous. Also a bill re-chartering the
Bank of the State, and granting char
