'|.r■ • of the Senate Week of the The third week of the preaent «•*- •ion of (he Legislature opened on Ibe Till iuat. The Senate wae not in ect- aiou, having taken holiday for that day, but got well to work on the morn' iug (Allowing. 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 tnejoint resolution providing for a coi^lutulional amendment on abling the Legislature to adopt the Federal census for the apportionment of representation. The vote was— yeas 26, naraS. The bill to Incorpo rate the town of Calnlioy, in Berkeley, was the ohlf one defeated on a third reading. Senators Buist and Smythe united in aavtng that tliey found ‘that the bill would give the control of the town to the negroes and leave the liquor question in their hands. The totlowlng were defeated on nu favorable reports: Bills in regard to peremptory challenges; |p prohlbi Btandiujf aside of jurors; to abolish the agncnltural department. As to the latter Senator Moody, its author, movccFthe adoption of the unfavorable report. He said that tho House bill to regulate the disbursement of funds by tbe department answered his pur pose. There was opposition 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 tho State after its secession in 1860, and after the war recovered from him by tho United States (Government. Senator Leitnor attacked it on the {ground mainly that all of ns had gone lat6 tbe war and lost, and that an ex- ueptlop should not be made. Senators Sin vibe, Kurie, Youmaus and Moore, of flqt)t>ton, made strong speeches in favor of passing the bill, ns Uie cir cumstances were peculiar, and ns the action of Mr. Colcock had been per formed in obedience to tho behest of tho State through its Secession Con vention. It passed by a vote of 18 11. The hiU has since passed its tighwavi er wlthh • to cut down all n reach of said hlgh- ufDubllo dead timber ways was killed by a vote of 84 to f. The followingcooenrraut resolution, offered by Senator Moore, of Ander son, wae sgrted to without a division: "1 That all bills, petitions and pre sentments of grand Juries now (tend ing before the Senate and House of Representatives for and against tlte granting of license to retail liquors and Intoxicating drink* be referred to tho 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 tbev may think best. “2. That tald joint committee take Into consideration the propriety of a uniform law upon the subject of license or no license in the State of Sooth Carolina, and that they report by bill or otberwise, as may be thought prop er, to the end that the law in the State may be made uniform on die subject of license to retail liquors and intoxi cating drinks in this State.” Tho following bills, among others, received their second reading: To require the commissioners of Hon - )’ comity to maintain a fence between Horry and Georgetown; to incorporate the Original Free Will BaptistChurch; to incorporate the Wilmington, Chad- bourn end Conway Railroad; to change th« time of holding the summer Ses sions term iu Barnwell county; to incorporate the Chester, Greenwood nnd Abbeville Railroad; to allow the sala 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; to incorpo rate tho Cher&w and Camden Short Line Railroad; to prohibit the catching of terrapins between April 1 and June 30; to amend tlri law relating to apoth ecaries. This bill opens tbe door to those who have served live years in a drug store. It was unfavorably re ported by the judiciary 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 rending in the Senate. The hill to utilize tho 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 tbe ~ -SciiaM-.-baiu.w A mom Ik the Senate ■ the new measures introduced the following deserve attention: By Senator Moore, of Anderson bill to amend tha Act “for the more speedy development of the Columbia Canal.” (This is intended to catry out tbe views of the economic caucus. It devolves the maasgoment of the work on tho canal upon the superin tendent of tho peniteu'isrv, instructs Aim to consect the old esnni with the new near Cemetery Hill nod appro priates $5,000 for that purpose. The effect of the measure would be to abandon ajl the work already done and pay $4,000 to furnish to the peniten tiary only that small amount of water ly 1 rhi (tower which that institution had with out cost from the old canal before tho new one was begun.) .By Senator Patterson, concurrent raaolutioii that the Senators and Rep resentatives of the Stale be requested to nse their beet efforts to secure the repeal of the Act of Congress levying a tax of 10 per cent, on tbe circulation of State banks, because ibe Act oper ates injuriously to tbe financial interests of the people of the State. By Senator Buist, bill to exempt certain portions of Berkeley and Cl arlraton counties from the opera tions of the stock law. (This was in troduced at tbe request of citizens of Berkeley, who have ussimd me Sena tor that tlte planting territory hitherto opposed to the change is not included in the proposed exemption, and that the bill it in the nature of a compro mise.) The following bills were reported by different committee* without recom mendation: Bill to compel tlte charge of a minimum tuition tee of $40 an nually by the trustees of the State University; bill to repeal the Oconee countv Prohibitory Act; bill to abolish tbe railroad com mission. Tlte joint reslut ion proposing an amendment to the Constitution giving each county one representative only in the Senate provoked a long debate. Tbe (tending question was Senator Mauidid'a motion to reconsider the action of the Senate wheiebv tho un favorable report of tho committee was adopted, rejecting the measuse. Fin ally, however, the motion to reconsid er was killed by a very decided vote- 21 to 12. 8o tt.e plan to deprive Charleston of one of its Senator was again defeated. Tlte joint resolution proposing to amend the Constitution by providing for Mia election of a State superintend ent of education by the General As sembly, and the appointment of county school comnmsiourra b\ the Governor, failed on |s final reading for want of a two-thirds vote. There wm no de bate and the defeat of the measure was somewhat a sm prise. The Senate committee on tlte peni tentiary reported favorably, with ait amendment reducing the appropria tion from $20,000 to $15*000, Senator Wallace’s bill to centiuus ihp work on the Colombia Canal. The cftmmiUee 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 without recommendation, because the Scbator was not present at tbe meet]tig. 'the bill to limit legislation of a pri vate character caused a long debate. Seuator Talbert moved to strikeout the enacting -danse. Lost without a division. Senator Smith wanted it indefinitely postponed. Finally the bill ’was great!v amended, and then passed to it* third reading by a vote of 16 to 14. , The bill providing stenographers for for tlte Filth and Sixth circuits was weighted with an unfavorable re- pon feom the special committee of Senators from 4be counties Interest •d. 'Senator Patterson moved to table the report. Lo«t--13 to 17. The re port of the-comintuee was then adopt ed. Senator Wingird moved to rceou •idee the vote and table tho motion to reconsider. Senator Smvthe moved to ■take this motion the special order for Viidav at 1 p. m. Senator Wallace ntoved to tabio this motion. Lost—18 to 18. Then Senator Smytho’s motion Jperailed. On Friday the bill was pay tuition bill and tho the railroad oomadsaioa tor 1 o’clock amendments limiting its application to convicts sentenced for a period not exceeding sixty days, and providing that it shall not apply to pcnitenitiui y convicts. The joint resolution to amend tlie Constitution, re^waipg the Supertu- lendent of Education ami tho School Commissioners, was finally lost in the Senate. The vote stood 14 ayes to 19 noes. Tbe bill to repeal the Act prohibit ing the leasing out of convicts caused along debate in the House, it vs as urged by the friends of the bill that unless tlte present law bo repealed, it would cost tho Stale $100,000 a year to maintain tlte penitentiary. After a long discussion the motion to strike out the enacting clause was fabled- yeas 80, nays 16. After two hours’ discussion the bill was passed, with an amendment providing that any con tractor violating the laws for the pro tcotiou of convicts shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and that in all such prosecutions any convict who has been ill-treated shall he considered a oompetent witness for the State. The next bill taken up was that requiring the agricultural bureau and the directors of the penitentiary to pay into the State treasury all moneys col lected bv them, and to draw no moneys without aw appropriation. There was considerable discussion, during which it was brought out that wdiile no im putation was intended upon the officers in question it was an abnormal state of atlairs that so large a sum of money, about $150,000, sltould he disbursed without legislative supervixion and control. Jt was urged on tho other hand by the agriculturists that the bill would be a death blow to tbe bureau of agriculture. Tho motion to strike out tho enacting words was over whelmingly defeated, and the bill passed to its third reading. Home lime was consumed iu dis cussing Dr. Pope’s hill to cut down lawyers’ fees. One prominent lawyer attempted to amend it, but Dr. Pope, remembering how the lawyers amend ed the same bill out of existence last year, refused all amoudineftts, and triumphantly carried hi* bill through, all the lawyers voting with him. The bill to provide pensions for Con- tedemto soldiers, which only provides tor the appointment of (Hendon agents, was killed, the three one-armed Con federate soldiers in the House, Messrs. Haskell, Smith, of Spartanburg, and Draw Icy, opposing it. On motion of Mr. BruwJev, however, a substitute was passed directing the comptroller- general of the Stale to report to the next Legislature the names of all citi zens who are disabled from earning u living by reason of wounds received in the late war. Mr. Davie’s constitutional amend uiQut prohibiting county or city aid to 1 railroads came to grief iu the House on its final reading. The bill had been held on the 4>epeakcr’s table for sev eral days awaiting a dull House. It failed to get the necessary two-thirds vote, 83, the vote landing 64 year, 50 nnvs. idr. Haskell’s constitutional amend ment, (Article 9, Section 14,) iu refer ence to the denominations and dura tion of State bonds, was, on the con- trary, passed and sent to the Senate by a vote of 101 yeas to 5 nays. Ou the 10th inst. there was quite a debate in the House on the bill intro duced by Mr. WUberspoon, of York, to repeal Sections 2,397-2,404,Jticlu- sive, ot the General Statutes relating to the lien law. The bill was about to be passed without discussion when Col. Haskell moved to strike oat -the enacting words. Mr. Witherspoon thereepon took the floor and delivered a lengthy and elaborate speech iu favor of the bill. Mr. Davie, of Chester, spoke briefly against tho repeal and Mr. J. R. Mas sey, of Lancaster, replied. Tbe pre vious question was culled which lim ited the discussion to one hour. Mr. Simonton, disclaiming any in tention of taking part in the discussion Asked the Mends of the hill if they had taken into consideration the fact that the House bad a day or two ago passed a bill giving to the landlord a lien for rent and snppliea. He wanted to know whether the passage of this Act would repeal that bill. Mr. Donaldson, of Greenville, following with a speech in fkvor oftbebill. Eire-minute speeches followed from Mr. Haakeli against the bill and from Messrs, W. B. Wilsoe, Jr., of York, Jones, of Edgefield. mid Maim, of l .south Cat neirdhe na Lionti The motion to kill the bill was lost— yeas 43, nays 70—and lltc bill passed to its third reading. ‘ The bHI to provide for an eleotion in Anderson county, on »he subject of lieetifto t»r no-license, came up in the House on Thursday, as a special order. Almost the entire day was consumed jn its dis<:UM»ion. Finally, ti motion to postpone the bill indefinitely was adopted bv a vote of 56 to 64. Next day a motionto reconsider this vote was Inst —ihus finally killing the bill. Tlte (till to roitettl the lieu law, the 1 bill to re-zplate the fee* ami cost* Ol atloniovH In reference cares, (Dr. Pope,) and the hill to repeal the Act which prevents the hiring out ot con victs were read the third time and sent to the Bcnatc. Representative Hemphill's bill to abolish free tuition iu the South Caro lina College was postponed till lust Monday. Mr. Hemphill «ays he has caavarsed the mstter pretty thorough ly ami his opinion is that it may pass both flonsc* If its advocates will bestir themselves and putin good work. On the other hand, the opponents of tlte measure express absolute confidence iu their ability to defeat it. The hill to abolish the oifico of Sup ervisor of Registration and place his duties upon the Auditor was prodiu- tive of some discussion and was finally rejected. The bill to ataend the militia laws caused a spirited little debate and was finally killed by a vote oT'SU to 27. This bill sought to withdraw from the militia the four dollars per capita now given by the State. The joint resolution proposing to amend the State Constitution, so that Charleston county shall bo deprived of one Senator, was taken up out of its regular order by unanimous consent of the House. Mr. Stanyarne Wilson made h twenty minutes’ speech in sup port of the resolution, and Mr. Haskell made a four minutes’ speech against. The yeas ami nays were called a»d this was the result: yeas 37, nays 64.

The Army mid the Morin ohm. The war department has recently received such reports from the officials in Utah, regarding tlte very unsettled condition of affair* in the territory mowing out of the enforcement of the laws against pohgainy, us to cause some uneasiness but no alarm. The recent shooting of a Mormon by u United Stales marshal created a great deal of excitement among the Mormons hml some apprehension was felt St Salt Luke 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 particularly on account of any fear of a Mormon rebellion, but had been in contemplation for some time Tbe foro* now ut Fort Douglass consists of a dull regiment of 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- incntoftne Platte, consisting of iiboat 3,000 men, could be concentrated at Fort Douglaes in a very few hours. No lerions trouble, however, is appre hended by army officials. A Clear liexl au.l n Strong Heart.

The Mates MU Him nr* l>rop« m*Mt nt hit Iloasr—A Short Sketch of hi a Career. William II. Y^t'd^fbllt dropped dead at his home on Fifth avenue, New York ou the afternoon of the 8ih inst., of pitralysia of the bratii. He was in the tnoriiHfg, and up to two o’clock in the afternoon, apparently in perfect health and spirits. Between one and two o’clock, Robert, (iurrctf, President ofthu Baltimore ami Ohio Railroad tiy, called to oAnfer with Mr. , f . »-..^rbili, unit remained a considera ble time. While Vanderbilt wa* t»lk-' ing, Garrett sat on a sofa ami laced the millionaire, who lea nett forward in his ai m chair, us was hi* habit when thoroughly interested. Tho President of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad ’Company was suddenly made aware of a slight indistinctness in Vanderbilt’s speech, that grew into an inarticulate sound. As Garrett leaned over to catch his words, -Vanderbilt pitched forward without word or warning, ami fell heavily tothe floor on his lace. Garrett sprang to his feet with an ex clamation of alarm, and seizing a pillow from the sofa, laid it under Ids friend’s head, (hen summoned Mrs. Vanderbilt and George, the youngest son. Messcngeis were scut for physi cians. One from tiie neighborhood responded first, and was followed al most immediately by Hie family doctor, Ja». W. McLean. Such simple re storatives as were nt hand had been hurriedly applied, but human aid was useless. Vanderbilt never spoke or moved after he fell, and died in a few minutes, without a struggle. To all intents and purposes ho was dead the instant he fell forward on (lie floor. Dr. McLean pronounced his death tiie result of a sudden stroke of paralv-is, due to the bursting of a large blood vessel at Ibe bitMi of the brain, and stated ihai his death \vhs painless ns it was sudden. The doctor knew his patient most intimstel', and prorrp ly certified to the cause of the death” to avoidjthe unnecessary formality 6f coroner’s inquest and an autopsy. The funeral took place on Friday at 10 o’clock, from \St. Bni tholomew’s church, at Madison avenue and Forty- fourth street, of which the Rev. Dr. Cook is pa-tor. Vanderbilt was a vestryman in life church, to tiie com structiou of which he contributed largely. The sexton of the ehnrch was charged with the funeral arrange- incuts. At Vanderbilt,-* own tkt*iro It'e W iS# rrOtAu'eV*' Av t!/-- laum in Moravian Cemetery at New- dorp, Staten Island, which has just been completed. It was one of tiie last ads of his life to turn over by deed, for one dollar iu hand paid of good and lawful money, all the old farm pi opertv ot the family on tkaten Islam), to his younger son, (George, to do with as lie desired, and for this purpose the lather and son went over to the island together Beunday last, incidentally inspecting thejust complet ed mausoleum. —Mr. Vanderbilt was probably the. richest man in America, his wealth being estimated at ?15(J,(HX).'HiO. Of this he inherited about 875,000,000 from his father Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, which he doublet! in the course nt' majjl'e. hifty of Mr, Van derbilt’s miilioftvjirc said to be invest ed in United Stan’s four per cents., and tho checks which Jte receives for interest are larger ih in tlitve paid to any other of Uncle Sam’s nNlilors.

At the time ot Ids death Mr. Van derbilt was engaged upon two missions which were dear to his heart.

The res ident* of Fifth avenue arc fust scaucring into tbe side sti'ec!«. Vanderbilt did not wish either to move or to lie stir rounded by traffic. Ho thought that the jmncixling annoyance could lie defemtd, if not averted, by defeating the scheme for u street railroad. To that end he has devised a stage line to supp)^ resiilcts with handy transit and make I hem content without rail*.
