Judge Townsond and Mr. Skinqer explained the scopo of the compromise.-' Tho point of ditferonce was that the Senate insisted that when an appoint ment was rejected it should stand, and tho appointeo could not bo reappointed during tho recess^x Tho bill in its present shape is entirely unacceptable. The Governor, /fcaid Mr. TownBeud, would have toj appoint whoever is named*' fat . magistrates ... in Sumtsr, OharlesiWtr aud Iiichlan<jl The Gover .nor, ho held, had no powtfrof removal.

Gary all the qualities which conduce to a prop el' Speakor, t^ wit: Integrity of chiir actor and purpose, impartiality, docis ion, di?patch-o? buji??ss^and affability, and congrat^likes itself' upon havtug such a presiding officer. The resolu tion was unanimously adopted. ^ It will bo of interest to note that Mr. Frank Mellett had his reasons lor voting against the dispensary law spread upon the Journal, ?ni said: "I opposed to bill No. 351 for the following reasons: .First, because it is repngnant to the Constitution^ of the United States and the Stat* of South Carolina; seoond, iWufringes upon the right* of an American citizen; third, if enuoted into law it will be one of the mose gigantic frauds ever per petrated upon a free people."
