Then, in addit-ion Wo the momument and portrait., the old mansion houlid be taken care of and prservedv as a relic of tho great statesman. It would add interest to the place and is no more t han should be done. We hope the I.egislature will take hold of the matter and do some thing at once. The Legislature Vtxed down a bill repealing the metropolitan police bill. The bank inspector bill has also been killed. Il fact, this Legislature seems bent on killing hills. There is no objeetion to this in many particulars, but it takes time and 'oste money even to kill hills. Better thalt, however, than to pass many that are put on the statute books. Tho tuetropoiltan polioe bill should havo been repealvd. There is no ne cessity for such a law, and it, might givo somo Governor the opportunity to pulibli a City to griatify his personal toolings.

Special to News and Courier.] (Aulumibla, January 23.- -The General Assembly has now been ii session tor nearly two weeks. Although the work has beei persistent and coittiuous. the end is not yet, in sight. The real issleit have not been toneled, and nto really tim port'ant mleasu%re hits been passed up)n by both brianches o! the Assembly, execpt it be tohe reolition to extenld the tie for the payment uf taxes without penalt.y. Trae qiiito it num1ber1 of imIportant, measures have been acted upon independently by the two houses, but, there has not yet, been 'ty conert of ation. The disposition has been manifest to kill off objection able he. *slation, and, of eouise, the usual allowan.e has to be made for un IIeessary legislation. No possible omlplaint can be made by any one as to the disposition to work, but unfortu n0ately there seems to be no eurtall ient of proposed legislation ---the vast majority of the measures are of purely local coneern. and there seeis to be no way to stop this perennial and pesti ferous ftood of local matters, and yCt without theso propositlions the Gov ernniot would wag along just as so renely as ever. It is pleasant to say that no "fool legislation" has yet show n it self. In the assemblies of two other StIAtes there are bills with regard to kissing, in another an Act was passed prohibiting foot ball, but happily to such measures have yet been lpresenlted at Coluibia. The doctrilno of Col. Georg1 1). Tillman, as to self-govern menit., seeslis to be on the in0rease. WiAT AnOUT TiHE SESSION? Why, that is just about as uncertain a thing as th uiltimate fate of the dis penisary. When the nmtmbers came here no ono Paw anyi need for more than a thirty-day session-there was no need before the new Constitu.tio, but iatters have jogged along until almost two weeks have slipped by, and still there is no tlispensar y bill before either houso, and tho appropriation and sup ply bills are still hung up in the Col mitto room. here is room for radi cal improvement along these lines, and while the ways and means cominitteo ha1s had a great mass of wor-k, and has had to hear from many interests, a skeleton bill ought to be in tho hands of the members by the middle of next, week. So it is with the dispensaLry committOee, iimade up of rine member from each of the counties. While thoro is still n1o reasonl why the session should last over th Irty days, the outlook just now is that it will be longer. The d1laispnary legislation seems to be the bone of contention, yet if a bill comes before the -1ouse, with good endorsoment, leavirig tne status practically as at pesont, and aimed at the "Or1igLnal packago" stAres, it, enn he r'ushed through as of 0old, and not mutch will b)0 saId about it eit,ber, as t,his scomns to be a time wuhien few want to assume resp)onsib)ility as dispensary legislartion. .STAiis 01' Till IQUOR QuJmrl'oN. Th'le General Assembly is as munch at sea as ever oni t,he dispensary quest,ion. No eoie seemi~s able to solve the pendling probhlm. The anniounicement ini the News arid Courier that the judiciary committee of the llouse of Reproscrita tives in Washiingtoni is unanitnously unfavorably disposed to the Tilimami Lat,ie resolut.ion has put a dlecided dlamp)er oni the situartion, and left but litt.l doubt that Jludge Simontoni's deC 01810on will be sustained by the Suprce Court. The Hotuse judiciar'y comminit, tee ini Washington has not, however, inado a report upon the bill, arid wvill give a hearing on the matter Tueday, arnd Mrt. J. P. KC. Biryan will rappear' atgainst, the bill, while Mr. IBarber has been invited to present the Stato's side of the case. It, is very niuch a case of "'is of the siamnr op)inrion st,ill.'' Several days ago the chaiirmanr of the louse juiiiary committee in Co lurmbia otTed( a resolution asking the Attorney General to priesont his views of the sit,uation, in the shape of a bill. TI'is reosoltution was withdr'awn, as the spoecial legislative committee had al ready sought the co-operation of Gen, l3arbor, it is urnderstood that Mr'. lharbor has emphatically anid coturto otusly deelinied to prepare a bill, oir to be responsible for any proposed legislai tiorn. lie will willingly give his advice or suggestion to tihe spoiatl committ,eo but will rnot bo responsible for a bill. To prepare a bill and then to have seome one else look after the on force mont makes the matter rather compllex at tines. The special House committee has a riuimbor of bills before it, which seeks to solve the problem, bu't the only oe that attempts to go into the matter fully is that of Mr. Polloek. Hie seeks to putt the original package stores on the same plane as the dispensaries, es p)ecially with r'eference to the signing of applieations-a veritable farce now, and further proposes that all "original package" agencies pay the cotinty treasuir'rs 20 per cont. of the gr'oss sales. The Senate seems disposed to see whether the House cannot solve t,he prolem for it, although the tunder standing is that there 18 increasIng favor for Mr, Maynfeld's bill, which pro Poses that the entire State have prohi bitioni as thme initial point, and .then that each of the counties determine whether it would like to ehange that condition to the license system, under tile collst.titional rest'itions, o1 the dispenuar-y, as exempliflled-la the oxist.

The whole tendency jI)OL now is to lot Inattors 110vorely alone. as :J not even to pass a bill direetod against the "original ptakltago" stores, but to await the fato of J11Idtgo 8imOn1ton' deololoi, anld thon either to wipe Out the wholo business, or to 1111110 from the bottoIn lp, so as to ti iango it's elitil-O Opera tion, AI,J.
