Pursuant to law, tho General Assem t)ly ol' .South Carolina mot in Colum bia on Tuesday tho 24th tilt. Tho Senate was called to order hy Lienloil ailt-C over nor Sheppard ami tho House by Speaker Simons. . 'The annual message of thc Governor was received, read, and referred to appropriate commit tees. Owing lo thc intervening, of Thanks giving Day lhere were, last week, bul four working days for thc ('emeral As sembly. These were well spent III tho introduction or consideration of vari ous measures of public importance. A brief statement of these will provo of general interest. Thc House passed to its third read ing (introduced at thc last session, by Mr. Ib ice, of I'airfield) the joint reso lution proposing an amendment to the Constitution, touching thc distribution of tho two-mill school-tax. After some, debate thc joint resolution was ordered to bc engrossed for a third reading in about thc following shape: "SUCTION Tho boards ol', county commissioners of thc several counties shall levy an annual (ax of not less than 2 mills on tho dollar, ?fcc, for tho Support 6f tho public Schools in their respectivo counties, winch tax, &c., shall bc held in (lie county treasuries ot' thc respective counties and paid out exclusively for thc support of (he pub lic .schools as provided by law. There shall bc assessed on all taxable polls in tho Stale (ho annual (ax of one dol lar Ol) each poll, &c, for educational purposes. Tho school tax shall bc distributed among tho several town ships Of tho counties, and in counties where there aro no townships among tho tax districts, in proportion lo die amount of (axes paid by said (own ships or tax districts." In tho Senate, tho House bill to pro vide stenographers for thc fifth and sixth circuits caused sonic debate. Various minor amendments were adopted. Senator Black tried to have tho section referring th tho sixth cir . nit stricken out, ami was seconded by Senator Clyburn. Thc agricultura Senators generally supported thc mo tion, hut it was defeated by a vote of lt! to 14, and thc bill was passed. There will bo another fight oil tho third reading. A message was raccived from Hie Governor announcing his veto of thc bill passed last session ltto make School District No. 1, Sumter county, a sep?ralo and distinct school district, and to require tho school tax and bimi collected and received in tho same to bo applied exclusively to school pur poses in said dist riet." Thc applica tion oldie lund expressed in tho title, tho Governor says, is in conflict with Article X, Section ?, of the Constitu tion, as amended, which declares that "the school (ax shall bo distributed among tho several school districts of Hie counties in proportion to tlie rc? spectivo number of pupils attending tho public schools." Among tho new measures introduc ed aro the following: By Senator Stn y tho, to amend thc lawas to thc sale of real estate adjudged to be sold. By Senator Woodward, relating to tho time ol' holding Circuit Courts in (ho sixth circuit. By Senator Bobo, to provide ices for certain officers in casos of forcible entry and detainer ; to amend Section 1,743, Chapter io, of thc. General Statutes, relating to tlOOIlSOS. By Senator Maxwell, joint resolution to amend Hie Constitution respecting thc number of comity commissioners. (Reducing Hie number to ono, mid making bim a salaried and bonded ofli ccr. ) The Scnato bas considered a good portion of the very voluminous bili for thc revision and improvement of tho laws for thc assessment and collection of taxes. Among the now bills introduced in Hie House arc: A bill to amend Section 481 of thc General Statutes in roforonco to Hie salary ol Lieutenant Governor? [This bill abolishes the salary attached to the ofllce and allows thc Lieutenant Governor $10 per diem and mileage during tho session ol tho General As sembly. I Bill to amend tho law in relation to Uio examinination of teachers. [This bill was so loaded down with nmend mcnis that it is somewhat difficult to folio.v (beni. Ils object, however, it may be stated, is to givo to graduates of any chartered college or university in tho Stato permission to rccclvo a teacher's ccriiflcato irom cither tho Stato or county board of examiners without undergoing an examination, provided, howovcr, ho or sho has a good moral character.J Mr. Hcmphill introduced a bill to abolish tho office of supervisor of reg istration, impose tho duties of said office upon thc auditors of tho sovoral counties and to provide for their com-, pcnsalion. Mr. Hcmphill says that tho pay of tho supervisors is altogether out of proportion to tho services which they arc called upon to perform ; that tho work of preparing thc registration lists was heavy in tho boginning, but that it is now Very light and not moro than thc auditors can attend to for slight additional compensation. Mr. lt. D. Lee, of Sumter, gavo muire of a hill to unable thc Governor to provide for I ho cnnmornt.lon of the inhabitants of tho Stato; $20,000 is the amount appropriated for tho work in thc bill which, howovcr, Ins not yet been introduced. Mr. Leo has also given notice of o bill to chango (ho limits of the 7th Congressional dis trict. This he proposes, to do by trans ferring Boaufort from tho 7th to tho 2d district, a chango whio Mr. Lee thinks will give tho Democrats of tho Black district a fighting chance to be repre sented in Congress. Tho bill to provout thc exportation and trapping and notting of partridges was killed in tho Hotiso by a vote of 43 to 41, . Mr. Henry B. Richardson, the new ly elected member from Clarondon county, was presold In tho I louse on Wednesday aud muddled. Ho made hi? maiden speech later In iLo day when he introduced resolutions of respect to thc memory of Mr. Arthur Harvin. his deceased "predecessor, and supported thom with a few well choson mid feeling remarks. Tho anti-Prohibitionists scored a victory in thc indefinite postponement of tho bill from tho last session "to prohibit (lie salo of spirituous and malt liquors within thc county of Collcton." There was no discussion on thc sub ject. "A 1 > i 11 to regulate thc granting ol' liquor licenses within incorporated cities and towns" was passed ovor without action, ns was also a bill to prohibit tho salo of liquor in thc town Of Jonesville, Union county. There arc several other prohibition bills on Ibo Calendar and scvcrnl additional bills bearing upon thc subject ure looked for during thc session. NOTES OK TUB SESSION. Concerning the proposed census, it is naturally inquired how it will ailed representation from thc several conn lies. Taking thc United States census of 1880 as tho basis of the new appor tionment, it was found that changes would occur in eleven counties. Thc counties which would gain Representa tives would bc Beaufort, Kdgcficld, Greenville, Laurens, Marlboro, Spar enburg and Sumter, who would gain one Representative each. Charleston and Berkeley combined, which now have seventeen delegates, would lose four, and Aiken, Hampton and Rich land one each. Under this schedule it is estimated that Charleston would have seven and Berkeley six Represen tatives, but this estimate would per haps bc increased by a new census in Charleston, where it is said that thc population now numbers over 00,000. In this connection Captain Dennis, of berkeley, was asked how about bis bill to transfer thc sea islands from Berke ley to Charleston. To tins bc replied that thc bill had been passed ovor at thc suggestion of Col. Simonton with a view of having a conference of thc two delegations. Thc Berkeley dele gation favor the transfer (willi one ex ception) and tho Charleston delegation at present oppose it. Tlie arc on thc House Calendar a number of what arc known ns "Liquor bills." Ono of them, a bill to prohibit tho sale of liquors in Collcton count y, was indefinitely postponed without discussion or division. Mr. Petti grew'.; bi" lo reg?lale thc granting of licenses in incorporated towns and cities was passed over temporarily. This hill takes away the power of the granting of licenses from thc munici pal authorities and vests it in thc conn ty commissioners, the license fcc-not less dian $200-to be paid to thc usc of the county. Thc bill to prohibit thc salo of liquors in the town of Jones ville, Union county, was passed over. Thc bill (Senator Biemann's) to repeal thc Act to prohibit thc sale, of spiritu ous liquors in Oconoe county, has not yet been roached. It passed the Sen ate last session and failed by two votes in the House on a motion made on thc la.-d night of thc session to take it up out ol'ifs order. A bill will bc intro duced to repeal thc Prohibition law in barnwell county. An attempt will also bc made to pass bills allowing thc granting of licenses in Berkeley and Charleston counties. The Senate bas decided to postpone the judicial elections for tho present. There is no opposition to any ol thc present Judges save in two cases. The friends ol Gen. Moore have determined to bring his name out for thc position of .helge of the Second circuit against Judgo Aldrich. Tho friends of Judge Maher, who is a probable candidate, had determined not to bring him out against Judge Aldrich, but tho action of tho supporters of Gen. Moore may determine them to a dinierest course. It is mentioned in thc lobbies that Cel. John P. Kicken may bo brought ont as a candidate for thc Bench in tho First circuit in opposition to Judgo Prcsslcy, but no authoritive announcement so that offeot lias as yet been made. Thc indefinite postponement of thc divorce bill is informally discussed. Some signillcancc was attached to this for thc reason that thc ant hm of tho hill, a young member from Fair field, mado tho motion for postpone ment. This was explained by thc fact that lie has been married since the last session. Tlioma? A. Hendrix. Thomas A. Hendricks, Vice-presi dent of thc United States died at his residence in Indianapolis, Ind., on thc .Mth inst. Tho announcement of tho sudden death of this statesman was a shook to thc wholo nation. Mr. Hendricks has occupied a prom inent placo before tho public for many years, and throughout his long public career he was noted for lils strict adherence to Democratic princi ples as laid down by the Father of Democracy, Thomas Jefferson. Mr. Hendricks was born in Ohio, but when lie was yet a child his fattier moved to Indiana with which State thc subject of this sketch was always identified. Hs was at tho ago of twenty-six first called into public, ser vice as a member of tho Legislature, mid hinco which timo lio has occupied various prominent positions. As commissioner of Lands ho won tho ominomiation of all. As a Congress man and Senator whilo faithful to his State's interest ho was always prompt to give Ids host efforts to tho promotion of thc nation's welfare. Ho was nom inated for tho Vice-Presidency in 1876 with Samuel J. Tilden, but by the most gigantic fraud over perpetrated on a nation he wat* deprived of his office. In 1884, as tho ropresonative of the old ticket, he was the nomi ncc for vice-President with Grovor Clovo laud as President. They wei o elected, and since tho election vice-President Hendricks has discharged the duties of this office with tho samo integrity which has characterized his wholo life. Hy the death cf Mr. Hendricks tho nation loses a faithful servant and the South a warm, friend. NELSON'S HOTEL, (Formerly Central Flote),) NO. 19 WE8T PLAIN ST HE ET, COLUMBIA, - - S.
