Columbia, S. C., Dec. 13, 188G. The session of the Legislature is more than half over. And it is possible now to fortn Bonie idea of the make-up of the two Houses. It was thought, you will remember, that this would be a very radical Legislature. Before tho session began it was freely said that much would he said and done toward a complete change in the condition and management - e ? v.iTV UI puuiiu UllttliO* 1 IICIU woo o ivvtuig of unrest and apprehension lest the members of one or both Houses should go too far in the way of economy and reform. ''Economists'' and "Reformers" had come to be terms somewhat of derision. But my observatiou leads me to :hink that there need bo no fear of any extreme action on their part. I am inclined to think the members are conservative. It is true that in some quarters there is an individual desire, nnd even attempt, on the part of some men in the House and Senate to do some ultra act to commend themselves to rabid voters at home. But the main body of theni, whilst honestly desirous, I believe, of legislating in the interest of honesty and reform, do not propose to go to the ex tent that was feared by some people and insisted on by others. You will have been informed by the reporta contained .in the daily papers of the proceedings, * .that the Senate has passed the bill introduced by Senator Kdwards to fix a tuition fee at the South Carolina College. . 1 am not afraid that this will injure the college or result in driving away any Btuilents. I am opposed, however, to the. bill introduced by Senator Murray to change the composition of the Board of Trustees. I think it was unnecessary. Both bi.ls hAV? passed the Senate, and in piy opinion^will pass the House. It is to be hoped that this will set at ,rest the'opposition to the college and take this question out of politics, where r v it has been so long a disturbing element. J-udge Fraser h:>s been re-elected .Judge of the Third Circuit, without opposition. Colonel L'pscomb heat all his Competitors for Superintendent of the Penitentiary, being elected on the first ballot. Thus far no time has been fixed f'T the election of a successor to .Ji.dge Cothran, whose resignation goi-s into effect on the 20th. The cnndidntos have most of them gone home. Hut their friends'are still at work. It is, of course, impossible to say who will be elected. But mv o.wn opinion is, that Mr. Parker has the best chance. lie is deservedtv . j strong with bis colleagues. There are .in this present General Assembly soipe brainy young fellows who arc rroinfr tn make thoir mark in IpvirIa. ,tion. In tho House arc Hyde, of Charleston; Gary, of Edgefield; McHugh, of ,Charleston; Nelson, of Kershaw; Abney, .of Columbia; Douglass, of Winsboro'; ^taysor, of Orangeburg; Dantzler, of Ornngeburjr; Wilson, of Suiuter; Guess, of Jiarnwell: and Connors, of Lancaster. These are, with one exception, new men. uud full of energy and work, and the State may expect good service from th<?m. Aldrich. of Aiken; Ansel, of Greenville; Ancrum, of Kershaw, and quite a number of men about the same 1 1.-1 I i nK?f, nave uiiu inure legislative experience and fire most useful members. In the Sonc.te are Ithaine, of Columbia; Kinkier, of Berkley; Murray, of Anderson; Moise, of Sumter?all new in the Senate, and strong men. If I had time X would like to give you a sketch of each of them, of their persona) qualities, and of what they do and say. Perhaps 1 will do so soon. But .don't let it be understood that I mean to say thoge whom I have mentioned are .the on.ly bright young fellows in the Pous<^ and ;8.enate, It so happens that I have been brought more in contact with * * ' them and can .better judge of them. fimfirnnr Rirli nrrlunn nro?i(lo? in tka Executive chambers with that genial way and manner which have made him so popular. It is a great pleasure to yiait him there. He will discharge his duties with the same fidelity and ability .that have marked his management of the treasury for six years. .Col. Rice seems quite *t home in the office ,pf Superintendent of Education. Education of childrun has b.enn for many yt-ars with him a labor of love and a matter of much interest and study. It is generally felt that he will make his administration a success. Our own delegation are all at their V i 'posts in the House anil Senate. The j;re quite useful members, utteutiv watchful, thoughtful ami conservativ I The county has cause to be pleased wil its representation. J.. Vv\ Perrin, Ksq.. was in the cii some days last week preparing for tl Supreme Court. The Kighth Circu v\ill be called to-day, and I suppose 01 lawyers will all be down. I understand that Captain McUowi is here, though I have not seen him.

M. L. B. Ju. CHARLESTON'S EAKTHQUA K BILL.. We have as much love for our tn tropolis as any one can have, and thin that she is entitled to much consider; tion at the hands of our Legislatur Wi> nrn find on this nrniitin t thnl Earthquake bill 1ms passed the IIous but do not believe that those who o] pose it ought to be stigmatized as opp nents of all low-country legislatioi We rather think there is a great deal force in the objections they urged, an believe, that the precedent is a bad on It ought' to be distinctly understoc right now that this measure is not tneai as a precedent. When it is renietubert that the assessment mads last Januai on the property was the first made i two years, and the owners thereof hi enjoyed the peaceable use and possessic of thsir property for that length of tirn we submit that it does look reasonab that they should pay tho full amount < taxes on the same. Their relief wi come with the next assessment. Thei is no doubt of the fact that the asses ment was true at the time it was mad and it is equally true that the owne: enjoyed the peaceful possession and o< cupation of it, to within two months < the time when the tuxes were due. I we said, we are glad the bill has passt but do not think-it is fair for newspape to attribute opposition to it to section feeling. This thing continued will ei gender bitterness, and the sooner it dropped the better. OUlt SENATE. It strikes us, with one or fwo'notab exceptions, the present State Senate the weakest body of statesmen wo ha> Keen in a long time. Bigotry, narrov mindeducss, self-conceit, and ignorant seem to be tho rujing characteristics i that august body. They seem, or tl majority of them, only to think of tl popular, issues, and have no opinions < their own. Boasting over their super ority in numbers is a common thir with some of them. Wo wonder if tht have ever thought that magnanimit 1J I- - -1 - f? ?f -A %% - uuuiu oe Known in victory as won as tl bearing up bravely under defeat. Vi tors alone, who know how to uso tt success that they have attained, ai worthy of that success. It seems to i that our present set of Senators ai more like school boys than the dignific statesmen they ought to be. Usual! the House of Representatives is whei the spread-eagle, bragadocio speech* are made, but this Senate has assume that roll, and the Hnnun iu f? mnrlnl , dignity when compared with it. We are sorry to see this and have r Trained as long as we well can, fro making mention of it. Daring the pa week, however,- in the discussion < several measures, it has been so pater that as honest journalists, we are con polled to remark upon it. The Death of Col, J. H. IMon.

In the ubsencc of any gencrad State agitation on the subject, it is rea markable that nearly ail of the new Senators aa should prove to bo out-and-out Triple X Prohibitionists. If the House does not defeat 'y the bill passsd to-d&v by the Senate, the l'e counties of Anderson and Laurens will have an opportunity of securing prohibition of the most stringent kind, riveted by enactmeuts oi an extraordinary cliarcter. The original title of the measure was. "A bill to submit the question of license for the sale of spirituous malt or intoxicating ,liquor* in Anderson County to the qualified electors E thereof, and providing penalties for the violation, evasion or attempted evasion of the prohibition law, if a majority electors vote in favor thereof This bill had been reported unfavorably.

Mr. Brawley stated that the friend* of the m bill desired to close the debate as speedily a* St possible, as they did not desire to put the&tat< . to the unnecessary expense which would bf 01 incurred by a lengthy discussion. With thnl it, view he would make a motion to table ttic motion to strike out the Section. It appeared; 1 however, that the members who were opposing the section had not yet sufficiently discussed it, and Mr. Brawley withdrew the motion. After discussion a vote was taken ou the motion ( Dr. I'ope's, of course,) to striko out the scction, and this resulted, on a call of the e8 roll, in 02 yeas, 5l? nays. ck k'a* Columbia, December. 11. lis y\ In tho Senate to-day Mr. Murray's bill prod* viding for the election of fourteen trustee# ol the South Carolina University by the General r.
