Columbia cot rcnpondtMit of of tlie> NofttR'find Courier, in tziv inp rue iiuniner ami names or nindi dates for the legislatnre from . various counties; so far as an< noil need iu t lie papers, sr.ys: "It ii"W Hwrns lo be generally recognized t.het one of the*!inest s -bonis for political preferment is the general.a.-Reu;bly. It is uowndnys one of the raiest things in the world for h member of the State board of control or liquor commissioner to he elected from any other than the 1 Bo ' members of the portend assembly. Judges are most fre . queutly selected from amo ; the .members, and so it isithut tlie lawnmkers-who-show tbeir capaci ty and are congenial pet the best thing.* that are distributed by the general assembly." In commenting 011 the above, the Columbia Record says: "This has- been a fact apparent to all who have .lw^l il.? ..e. ifinwiji u mr null wuir \ ?i* mini I V r elections" for aevernl 'years past, andsitnx.it i?-so it behooves the . people, to semi only their bo.-A citi-zens hh representatives.

The .Held of operations embraces fifty vquare miles in Prince William county, extending from the village of Thoroughfare eastward to Bull Run. The grounds' chosen for camps and for field exercises are well adapted tp such purposes and have been carefully < marked and n provided with ample water supply, jjraiu4g<t, and other-needful facilities. ?The men will be required to live in camp under all .the i conditions audi: regulations that would obtain- to a state of real war. < The troops wilt constitute one corgja. which will be divided into two divisional In addition to the troops of the regular armyk nearly all tha States in.' the Military Di? vision of the.

The Pabst Malt Case. In the ningistrate's court last Tuesday, says the Yorkville F.nquirer. a jury found a verdict for $25 damages against Mr. A. Kose in favor of Dr. .1. B. I' oven, on account of the seizure of a quantity of I'abst malt from the latter by the former on duly IS last, and directed the return of the gopds seized, or the value thereof, to wit. $8.2.3. Tins ciwh yrnw out f>F tlw1 raid of Constables ?I. )r. Drake am! A. i Hose (in Dr. Boweu's drug store, the facts as to which wote published at. tlie time. Constable 1 Drake went into the store and induced a fourteen year old clerk to sell liim two glasses of malt, one for himself and the other for a [companion, as a beverage. Having I drunk the malt the constable went out und returning with Mr. Hose, seized and carried away all the iiihIi in stock, shipping the same to Columbia. Mr. Rose, the defendant, of course, will take the case nn to the | circuit court. The Ogden Picnic. From all reports, the l>iu annual picnic at Ogden on last Wednes(1 hy was a success in every partic ular. It is n custom with the people of the Ouden section to liohl a picnic, yearly, about the tiret of A ujunt, and, on campaign years, to invite the various candidates to be present. This year, as usual, the ottino-seekers wore out in full force and many interesting speeches were listened to by the large crowd of "d'*nr people" present. The l imes would ho pleased to give an outline of each of the sp. eclies, but for lack of space we are unable to do so. However, in order to acquaint the people of this section with the views on several important subjects of Cant. .I. W. Ardrey, the legislative can didate fr- in Fort Mill township, we publish below an outline of his speech, as reported by the Yorkville Kuqnirer: Capt. Ardrey was glad to meet the people and complimented them 011 their Sine country ami crop*. He was a farmer himself by profession. He was brought out by i the people and did not know what | he eould accomplish at Columbia; ii ijui would endeavor to serve the j people to tlit? host of his ability. Ah to the dispensary question, it line) always been his policy to vote against whiskoy under any circuinstances aml'that lie favored amend ilig the law so as to give the people the privilege of voting for the removal of a dispensary from any town or city. And, futhermore, as a dispensary is not a local institution, the people of tlm entire county should he allowed to vote on es tablishing h dispensary at a county seat town, and that, township election should he held on the question of establishing a dispensary in any other than comity seat towns, lie ;? i . . t in ill IHVOI <>j su ppon I n<r limit schools, but thought mere ntteu tion should be paid t<? the common schools, and would like to see them more liberally supported, lie was in favor of better roads and doinu I away with the slate farm and putting the state prisoners on tho public highways.
