THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. 'WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND WHAT THkY ARE NOT DOING. Isydaysis of the Proceedings of the Seuate and the House, in the Third Week of the Sesion. The third week of the present ses sion of the Legislature opened on the 7th inst. The Senate was not in ses sion, having taken holiday for that day, but got well to work on the morn ing following. We give below a synopsis of the week's work, so far as it is of general interest: Among the measures passed by the Senate is the joint resolution providing for a constitutional amendment en abling the Legislature to adopt the Federal census for the apportionment of representation. The vote was yeas 26, nays 3. The bill to incorpo rate the town of Cainltoy, in Berkeley, was the only one defeate4 on a third reading. Senators Buist and Smythe united in saying that they found that the bill would give the control of the* town to the negroes and leave the liquor question in their hands. The tillowing were defepted on un favorable reports. Bills in regard to peremptory challenges; to prohibit the standing aside of jurors; to abolish the agricultural department. As to the latter Senator Moody, its author, moved the adoption of the unfavorable report. He said that the House bill to regulate the disbursement of funds by the department answered his pur Pose There was opm'sion to the bill to refund to Daniel Heyward, surety for W. F. Colcock, ante-bellum collector of the port of Charleston, the amount of customs collections paid by him to the State after its secession in 1860, and after the war recovered from him by the United States Government. Senator Leitner attacked it on the ground mainly that all of us had gone into the war and lost, and that an ex ception should not be made. Senators Smythe, Earle, Youmans and Moore, of Hampton, made strong speeches in favor of passing the bill, as the cir cumstances were peculiar, and as the action of Mr. Colcock had been per formed in obedience to the behest of the State through its Secession Con vention. It passed by a vote of 18 to 11. The bill has since passed its third reading. Among the new measures introduced in the Senate the following deserve attention: By Senator Mcore, of Anderson bill to amend the Act "for the more speedy development of the Columbia Canal." (This is intended to car ry out the views of the ecoionic caucus. It devolves the management of the work on the canal upan ihe euperin tendent of the penitemiar%, instructs him to connect the old cAnal with the new near Cemetery Hill -and appro priates $5,000 for that purpose. The effect of the measure would be to abandon all the work already done and pay $5,000 to furnish to the peniten tiary only that small amount of water power which that institution had with out cost from the old canal before the new one was begun.) By Senator patterson, concurrent resolution that the Senators and Rep resentatives of the State be requested to use their best efforts to secure the repeal of the Act of Congress levying a tax of 10 per cent. on the circulation -of State banks, because the Act oper ates injuriously to the financial interests of the people of the State. By .Senator Buist, bill to exempt ~certain portions of Berkeley and Obarksaton counties from the opera tions of the stock law. (This was in troduced at the request of citizens of Berkeley, who have assured uhe Sena tor that the planting territory hitherto opposed to the chanage is not included in the reposed exemption, and that the bill7T in the nature of a compro mise.) The following bills were reported by different, committees without recoin mendationae Bill to compel the charge of a minimum tuition fee of $40 an nually by the trustees of the State University ; bill to repeal the Oconee county Prohibitory Act; bill to abolish the railroad commission. The joint reslution proposing an amendment to the Constitution giving each county one representative only in the Senate provoked a long debate. The pending question was Senator Mauldid's motion to reconsider the action of the Senate whereby the un favorable report of the committee was adopted, rejecting the measuse. Fin-* ally, however, the motion to reconsid er was killed by a.very decided vote 21 to 12. So the plan to deprive Charleston of one of its Senator was again defeated. The joint resolution proposing to amend the Constitution by providing for the election of a State superintend ent of education by the General As sembly, and the appointment of cotinty school commissioners by the Governor, failed on its final reading for want of a two-thirds vote. There was no de bate and the defeat of the measure was somewhat a surprise. The Senate committee on the peni tentiary reported favorably, with an amendment reducing the appropria-< tion from $20,000 to $15,000, Senator Wallace's bill to continue thme work on the Columbia Canal. The committee maintains its proportion of members favorable to the canal. The bill of Senator Moore, of Anderson, appro priating $5,000 to unite the new canal with the old was reported withoute recommendation, because the Senatort was not present at the meeting.u 'the bill to limit legislation'of a pri 'rate character caused a long debate. Senator Talbert moved to strike onti the enacting clause. Lost without a i division. Senator Smith wanted itt indefinitely postponed. Finally thes bill was greatly amended, and thent passed to its third reading by a vote of 1 16 to14.( The bill providing stenographers for e for the Fifth and Sixth circuits was t weighted with an unfavorable re- a pore from the special committee o of Senators from the counties interest ed. Senator Patterson moved to table a the report. Lost-13 to 17. The re- si port of the committee was then adopt-y ed. Senator Wingard moved to recon- il aider the vote and table the motion to reconsider. Senator Smythe moved to t< make this motion the special order for a Fi iday at 1 p. m. Senator Wallace t moved to table this motion. Lost-13 t2 to 18. Then Senator Smnythe's motion a prvailed. On Friday the bil! was r< The Honee bill to compel enmigration a agents to pay a license of' $5300 failed of 3~ passage by avote of 12 to 17. i The College pay tuition bill and the 'c bill to abolish the railroad commission >b were umade special orders for 1 o'clock .i ~Mondas. 11 )f public highways to cut down all lead timber within reach of said high ways was killed by a vote of 24 to 7. The following concurrent resolution, >ffered by Senator Moore, of Ander on, was agreed to without a division: "1. That all bills, petitions and pre ;entments of grand juries now pend ing before the Senate and House of Representatives fur and against the granting of license to retail liquors and intoxicating drinks be referred to the joint judiciary committees of the Sen ate and House of Representatives for their consideration, and that said com mittees duly consider the same and re port by bill or otherwise, as they may think best. "2. That said joint committee take into consideration the propriety of a uniform law upon the subject of license or no license in the State of South Carolina, and that they report by bill or otherwise, as may be thought prop er, to the end that the law in the State may be made uniform on the subject of license to retail liquors and intoxi cating drinks in this State." The following bills, among others, received their second reading: To require the commissioncers of Horry county to maintain a fence between Horry and Georgetown; to incorporate the Original Free Will Baptist Church; to incorporate the Wilmington, Chad bourn and Conway Railroad; to change the time of holding the summer Ses sions term in Barnwell county; to incorporate the Chester, Greenwood and Abbeville Railroad; to allow the sale of home-made wine in Barnwell county; to incorporate the Summer ville Street Railway and Hotel Com pany; to incorporate the Blackville and Alston Road Company; to amend the charter of Mount Pleasant; toincorpo rate the Cheraw and Camden Short Line Railroad; to prohibit the catching of terrapins between April 1 and June 50; to amend thi law relating to apoth ecaries. This bill opens the door to those who have served five years in a drug store. It was unfavorably re ported by the jndiciary committee in the interest of public health, but went through on a vote of 20 to 10. All of these bills have since received their final reading in the Senate. The bill to utilize the labor of jail and and municipal convicts, and to empower the courts and municipal authorities to impose the punishment of labor within their respective juris dictions, caused some debate in the Senate, but it was finally passed, with amendments limiting its application to convicts sentenced for a period not exceeding sixty days, and providing that it, shall not apply to penitenitiary convicts. The joint resolugiou to amend the Constitution, respectiDg the Superin tendent of Education and the School Commissioners, was finally lost in the Senate. The vote stood 14 ayes to 19 noes. The bill to repeal the Act prohibit ing the leasing out of convicts caused a long debate in the House. It was urged by the friends of the bill that unless the present law be repealed, it would cost the State $100,000 a year to maintain the penitentiary. After a long discussion the motion to strike Dut the enacting clause was tabled yeas 86, nays 16. After two hours' liscussion the bill was passed, with an aneudmeut providing that any con tractor violating the laws for the pro tection of convicts shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and that in all such prosecutions any convict who has been ill-treated shall be considered a competent witness for the State. The next bill taken up was that requiring the agricultural burean anid the directors of the penitentiary to pay into the State treasury all moneys col tected by them, and to draw no moneys without an appropriation. Therb -was e.nsiderable discussion, during which it was brought eit that while no im putation was intended upon the officers in question it was an abnormal state ,f affairs that so large a sum of money, ibout $150,000, should be disbursed without legislative superv~sion and yontrol. It was urged on the other band by the agriculturists that the bill would be a death blow to the bureau >f agriculture. The motion to strike yut the enacting words was over whelmingly defeated, and the bill passed to its third reading. Some time was consumed in dis nssing Dr. Pope's bill to cut down [awyers' fees. One prominent lawyer ittempted to amend it, but Dr. Pope, remembering hce w the lawyers amend id the same bill out of existence last rear, refused all amendments, and riumphantly carried his bill through, 11l the lawyers voting with him. The bill to provide pensions for Con ederate soldiers, which only provides or the appointment of pension agents, was killed, the three one-armed Con ~ederate soldiers in the House, Messrs. Baskell, Smith, of Spartanburg, and Brawley, opposing it. On motion of kir. Brawley, however, a substitute was passed directing the comptroller general of the State to report to the iext Legislature the names of all citi :ens who are fLisabled from earning a iving by reason of wounds received n the late war. Mr. Davie's constitutional amend nent prohibiting county or city aid to -ailroads came to grief in the House m its final reading. The bill had been eld on the Sepeaker's table for sev ral days awaiting a full House. It ailed to get the necessary two-thirds 'ote, 83, the vote standing 64 yeas, 50 ays. Mr. Haskell's constitutional amend nent, (Article 9, Section 14,) in refer nce to the denominations and dura ion of State bonds, was, oni the con rary, passed and sent to the Senate by .vote of 101 y-eas to 5 navs. On the 10th'inst. there ~was quite a lebate in the House on the bill intro inced by Mr. Witherspoon, of York, o repeal Sections 2,397-2,404 inclu ive, of the General Statutes relating n the lien law. The bill was about to e passed without discussion when :o1. Haskell moved to strike out the nactingr words. Mr. Witherspoon bereepon took the floor and delivered lengthy and elaborate speech in favor f the bill. Mr. Davie, of Chester, spoke briefly gainst the rep~eal and Mr. J. R. Mas sy, of Lancastcr, replied. The pre ions question was called which limn ed the discussion to one hour. Mr. Sinmonton, disclaiming any in mtion of taking part in the discussion! sked the friends of the bill if they hadj rken into consideration the fact that 2e House had a day or two ago passed bill giving to the landlord a lien for mnt and supplies, lie wanted to knowv -hether the passage of this Act would ~peal that bill. Mr-. Donaldson, of reenville, following "-ithI a speech inj vor of the bill. Eire-miniute speeches llowed from Mr. Haskell against the I1 and from Messrs. WV. B. Wilson, -., of York, Jones, <If Edgefield,1 ucker, of Anderson, and Mclver-, of The motion to kill the bill was lost yeas 43, nays 70-and the bill passed to its third reading. The bill to provide for an election in Anderson county, on the subject of license or no-license, came up in the House on Thursday, as a special order. Almost the entire dar was consumed in its d:seussion. Fiial ly, a motion to postpone the bill indefinitely was adopted by a vote of 56 to 54. Next day a notion to reconeider this vote was lost-thus tinally killing the bill. The bill to repeal the lien law, the bill to rerulate the fees and costs of attorneys in reference cases, (Dr. Pope,) and the bill to repeal the Act which prevents the hiring out ot con victs were rea! the third time and sent to the Senate. Representative Hlemphill's bill to abolish free tuition in the South Caro lina College was postponed till last Monday. Mr. lemphill zays he has canlvassed the matter pretty thoroughe IN and his opinion is that it may pass both Houses if its advocates will bestir themselves and put in good work. On the other hand, the opponents of the measure express absolute confidence in their ability to defeat it. -The bill to abolish the office of Sup ervisor of Registration and place his duties upon the Auditor was produc tire of some discussion and was finally rejected. The bill to amend the militia laws caused a spirited little debate and was finally killed by a vote of 80 to 27. This bill sought to withdraw from the militia the four dollars per capita now given by the State. The joint resolution uroposing to amend the State Constitution, so that Charleston county shall be deprived of one Senator, was taken up out of its regular order by unanimous consent of the House. Mr. Stanyarne Wilson made a twenty minutes' speech in snp port of the resolution, and Mr. Haskell made a four minutes' speech against. The yeas and nays were called and this was the result: yeas 37, nays 64. THIRD-READING BILLS. The following bills, among others, have received a final reading: Bill to authorize clerks of Court to bail de fendants in criminal cases; bill to re quire the removal of dead timber from the public highways; bill to change time for holding the summer term of Court in Barnwell county; bill to amend the charter of the town of Mount Pleasant; bill to renew the charter of the South Carolina Loan and Trust Company; bill to amend the charter of the lebrun Mutual Insur ance Co.npany; bill to license emigra tion agent; bill to incorporate the Summerville Street Railway and Ilotel Company; bill to provide for the tak ing of the census; bill to regulate the number and appointment of trial ins tices in Fairfield county; bill to re quire the agricultural bureau and pen itentiary board to pay into the State treasury moneys collected by them; bill to authorize the town council of Winnsboro to issue bonds for rebuild ing Mount Zion College; bill to allow defendants in criminal cases to exam ine non-resident witnesses by commis sion. The Army and the Mormons. The war department has recently received such reports from the officials in Utah, regarding the very unsettled condition of affairs in the territory grrowing out of the enforcement of the laws against polygamy, as to cause some uneasiness but no alarm. The recent shooting of a Mormon by a United States marshal created a great deal of excitement among the Mormons and some apprehension was felt at Salt Lake that there would be an up rising among them. A battery of artillery was recently ordered from Omaha to Fort Douglass, which is situated a few miles from Salt Lake City. This movement, however, was not p)articularly on account of any fear of a Mormpon r'ebellion, but had been in contemplation for some time. The force now at Fort Douglass consists of a full regimentof infantry and a battery of artillery, and is under command of Gen. McCook. In the event of trouble in Utah all the troops in the depart mnent of the Platte, consisting of about 3,000 men, could be concentrated at Fort Douglaes in a very few hours. No serious trouble, however, is appre hended by army officials. A Clear Head and a Strong Heart. If you muddle your brains with any of the whiskey compounds which are sold under the name of "bitters," and wvhich topers delight for stimulants, you do your system irreproachable misci ef. Brown's Iron Bitters is not one of thiese. It promotes healthy action of the heart, liver and stomach. It cleanses and enriches the blood, and fits the brain for the best mental work. The best physicians prescribe it, and it is well worthy of a trial by all. * The Courts in the Sixth Circuit.

Vanderbtit dropped dead at his home on Fifth avenue, New, York on the afternoon of the 8tl inst., of paralysis of the brain. 1I1: was in the moriiiiig, and up :o awo o'dock in the afternoon, appareitlv ;I I-ertect health and spirits. Iht ween one and two o'clock, Itobert G4arrett, Preswident of the Baltimore and Ohio Itailroad Company, called to confer with Mr. Vanderbilt, anda renmailnet a conisitdert-a ble time. While Vanderbilt was talk ing, Garrett sat on a sofa ami faced the millionaire, who leancd forward in hi arn chIair, as was hi; habit w hen thorou'h lv intere-ted. The Presidet i of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company was sudldenly made aware of a slight indistinctness in Vanderbilt's z speech, that grew into an inarticulae sound. As Garrett leaned over- to catch his words, Vanderbilt pcled forward without word or warningL, and fell heavily to the floor on his Iace. Garrett sprang to his feet with an ex clamation of alarm, and seizing a pillow fron the sofa, laid it under is friend's head, then summoned Mi-s. Vanderbilt and George, the youngest son. Messengers were sent for phyvi cians. One Irom the neighborhood responded first, and was follo wed ai most immediately by the fanily doctor, Jas. W. McLean. Such simple re storatives as were at hand had been hurriedly applied, but hutman aid was useless. Vainerbi!t never spoke or moved after he fell, and died in a few minutes, without a strugrle. To all intents and purposez le was dead the instant he fell forward on the floor. Dr. McLean pronounced his death the result of a sudden stroke of paraly.is, due to the bursting of a large blood vessel at the base of the brain, and stated thal his death was painless as it was sudden. The doctor knew his patient most intimately, and pron;p l certified to the cause of the dnau to avoidithe unnecessary fornality of a coroner's inquest and an autopsy. The funeral took place on Friday at 10 o'clock, from St. i:rthit domtew's church, at Madison avenite :ud Fortly fourth street, of which ti:e Rev. Dr. Cook is pastor. Vandcrhi:t was a vestrvman in the church, to the con struction of which he contributed largely. The sexton of the church was charged with the funeral arraige ments. At Vanderbilt's own de-ire he was inferred in the fimily transo laum in Moravian Cemetery at New dorp, Staten Island, which has just been completed. It was one of tie last acts of his life to turn over by deed, for one dollar in hand paid of good and lawful money, all the old farm p operty of the family on Staten Island, to his younmger son , t George, to do with as he desired, and I.; this purpose the father and sonl went over to the island tcgether Sewurday t last, incidentallyinspecting thejtst complet ed mtiausoleum. -Mr. Vanderbilt wa, probably the richest man in America, his weaul: h being estimated at $150,000,:00. Of this he inherited about -75,0't0,000 from his father Commodore Cor:lius Vanderbilt, which lie dombledi in the course of his lite. ityv of t. Van derhilt's millions are said to be inve ed in United States four per cento., and the checks which hreives fr interest are larger th It th'osc paid to any other of Ucie Sam's creditotrs.

One was to keep shopkeepers out of Flith avenue, which lie feared would destroy. the beauty andr disturb the quiet of t hat fashionable thoroughfare. T he res idents of Fifth avenute ar'e fast scattering into the side streets. Vanderbilt did not wish either to move or to be suir rounded by traffic. Ie thought that the impending annoyantce could be deferred, if not averted, by defeating the scheme for a street railroad. To that end he has cvised a staige linte to supply residets with hantdy transit and make them content withot rails. ie was giving his personal attention to this matter, and, to all intentls antd purposes, had become a champion of stage-coaching against railroadin-m r.
