C., December 8.—It is with j the sabject of general observation that the first two weeks of the I legislative aearion of 1888 have brought forth fewer results, whether in the passage or the introduction of important measures than almost any previous session. Both houses seem inclined to “jog along,” end await rather than suggest measures of greatest public interest The Senate does its work very rapidly— generally clearing its calendar every day, with some little time left for the Con script Fathers to gather edification (at leisure) by attending the session* of the lower but larger branch. In the House there is always a flood of bills. Among these ere numbers of measures of no public interest Bat they must go through ell the sieges, from reference to ■ome committee to their survival or their death on ope of the two eobreqaaot readings. The calendar soon beeomre crowded, and it looks as if there is to be no end to the law-making. In the midst of this apparently small business (though aome of it is very important to the comm unitie* affected) there are cer tain topios whose consideration very intimately concerns the public welfare. Borne of these will now be noticed. thb clucboh aiqunnr. It we* generally supposed that some measure would be early introduced look ing to the formal acceptance by the Bteto of the bequest made in the will of the rite Thomas G. Crimson, for the purpose of founding a separate agricul tural college. ' Col. B. W. Bimpeou, the exeeutor of the will, has submitted a copy of that instrument and asked the ably to signify the Btate’a or rejection of the beqoasi. The' proceedings incident to the pre sentation of this communication were nowise significant of the sentiment of either branch. The will was ordered to be printed for the information of the aiabere Nothing farther. A canons of the friends and active movers in behalf the Crimson College was held at the Grand Central Hotel. Between thirty and forty Senators and Krepeecnritivti wens Senator Y. J. Pope, of Newberry, presided.’The plans to be pursued iw bringing the measure before the I.erifcUtr.re and ponhing it there were tiiSivughly dis cussed and a committee consisting of Senators Edwards, of Darlington, and Ferguson, of Laurens, and Representa tive W. C. 1 rinet, of Abbeville, wee ap pointed to prepare a bill to bo presented simultaneously in both booses. The bill has been trained to include the ac ceptance of the bequest with n small appropriation to begin work so as to comply with the provisions of the Crim son wul* It has already been intro-, dooed—in the Senate by (JoL Edwards of Darlington, and in the Honse by Mr. Bonnet of Abbeville. MKDveuaju: \min. The first movement towards a redac tion of salaries was embodied in a. bill offered in the Honse by Mr. Fowler, of Union, to reduce the salary of the Cir cuit Judges from $3,&00 to 82,500. The bill was onfevorebly rrjsrrted by the indieriry committee. Mr. king, of Ab beville, suggested by way of compromise $3,000 instead o( $2,500 as a yearly stipend. Then followed a long debate, consuming well-nigh the whole time of the Honse for two days. The majority of tho members were inclined to the compromise; so, after considerable talk, the bill was passed to its third reeding by a vote of 66 to 47. Ra fate m tho Benate is donbtfal. Mr. Barkley has introduced a bill to fix tho per diem and mileage of the memberfe. Cel. Barkley says that hia bill fixes the per diem at $1 and th? mileage at one cent a mile.

It is on the cards to peas a bill reducing the Gov amor’s salary to $3,000, and that of all State officers to $1,800, cutting down eierioal assistance funds proportionately. It is also said tbbt they have decided to push the reapportionmem bill through at once, and all other economic mean area; that no appropriation will be made for work on the State House, and that appropriations will be reduced horizon ing of snob taxes of have already been paid.

He struck Bruce about the eye with the sharp edge of the hatchet and on tbe head with the dunt side; and th— ha crowded his victim against the wall and deliberately plunged the dagg— nine times into Bruce s neck and face. The victim finally cried out for his wife and the brave little woman rushed into the dimly-lighted room and grabbed the bloody Anarchist about the neck, dragging hinvaway from her husband just as he ww'lifting the h itebet to brain him. A terride struggla took place. He was wild with murderous hate, and, holding his doody knit* ia hg"' 1 he rushed about tM room, endeavoring to again gat at the dying Bruce.
