It was an auspicious and happy opening. The day wa superb; the sky was Nlear and bright, and every ono was in a good humor. The members no doubt realize their responsibilities and opportuni ties, and (10 not caro to make ight of them. A visitor to the hall of the House of Representatives today, if familiar with the make-up of previous -louses, would have been struck with the great number of new and young faces, and the few grey heads that werein the gathering. True there are some men in the House who are old and tried in their service to their State, such men as Tom Austin, Capt. J. Ham Brooks, Geo. W. Croft, Peter Hollis, Altamont Moses, Col. Robin son, Capt. Dean, Capt. IR. A. Thomp son, Capt. All, Capt. J. 1-arvey Wil son, and Messrs. Lockwood and Col. cook, of Beaufort. But cast your eyes about and here and there are seen the sons of men who but a gen oration ago served their State in these very halls, in the battlefield or in her days of political revolution. There are in the ranks of the young members theioss of former servants of the State - McIver, Bos tic, Bothwell, Butler, J. R. C->gge shall, Robt. Hunter, Robt. Lide, A. M. Lever, P. B. Mayson, Fitz Mc Master, Geo. 1-1. Moffett, Adam H. Moss, M. W. Pyatt, Hugh Sinkler, W. H. Wells, Yancey Williams, W. Turner Logan, Robt. Webb and E. J. Dennis, Jr. Then there is the great middle stratum in political life, such men as Capt. Theus, Mr. Tatum, Capt. Saunders and( the host of oth ers. It was a gathering such its any South Carolinian would have been proud of, that of the first session of the new century. It was a body of men all of whon could hold up their heads in a spirit of proud indepen dence and proclaim that they owed * neither subservierce nor ob'edience - to any man. Tlhey come here un trammelled and unfetteredI to do0 their duty to their people, and hqp pily loft sectional arnd factional feel ings out in the cold. There wore several spirited elec tions, but they were all good-natured and made unanimous. The House could not do more than organize up to the time of adjourn ig, nearly 3 o'clock. The elections were stoppledl just as the chaplain wvas reached. *Mr. Steveuson wvas elected Speak er, Mr. Hamer was re-elected clerk. Mr.'J. F. 'Wilson, of Lancaster, was, on the third ballot, elected sergeant.. at arms, and Mr. J. 5. Withers, of Chester, had a merry walk-over for reading clerk, b)eing elected without S any opposition, as he ought to have Toe the oldest member, in ler.gth of r' continuous service -not ago-was given the honor of organizing the House of Repreresentativ.s. This honor was conferred on the Hon eAltamont Moses, of Sumter County. *When Clerk Thomas C. Hamer rapped for order everyone was on hequi vive for- the mandate for work to begin. As soonI as the House was ready Mr. J. 0. Patterson, of Barnwell, moved that Mr. .Alt mont Moses be selected ais temporary Speaker. Mr. Bacot put the motion and without further ado Mr. Moses was elected and promptly took the o tth *of office-it being administered by Clerk Hamor.. Tbe member8 had t aken their seats nr'aisonously throughout the Honse and were making acquaintance with ('ach other. It. was decided to have the delgations sworn in groups of two coutties at a time. Acting Sor genit at-Arms Stansell oliciated in the swearing in of the members. Speaker Moses read th oath of oflice and it was repeated by the niebers as they cam up. All of the members except Messrs E. B. RagHdale, of Fairfield, and H-. H1. Woodward, of Horry, were pre sent and sworn in. This is a re markable showing in the the propor tion of those present on the opening day of the session. Mr. Ragsdale is quite sick and is not likely to be present during the session. As soon as the members wore sworn in Speaker Moses announced that a quorum of the House was present, and t he first business was the election of a Speaker, and he would receive nominations. Mr. T. Yancey Willams, of Lan caster, nominated Mr. W. F. Steven son, of Chesterfield. Mr. John McMaster, of Iiehland, placed the name of the Hon Francis H. Weston before the House as can didate for Speaker. Mr. E. Marion Rucker, of Ander son), nominated his colleague, Mr. George E. Prince, for Speaker. Speaker Moses announced the vote to be: Total vote cast 116-Ste venson 73, Weston 17, Prince 20. Mr. Rucker moved that Mr. Ste venson's election be made unani. mous, which w4ae agreed to. Mr. Stevenson, besides being an active and most useful member, is decidedly popular. He has many warm admirers among the members and Columbians, because they ap prociato good, hard, active and ener getic work. Mr. Stevenson's elec tion was no surprise vhatever, in fact the surprise would have been had lie not been elected. Mr. Stevenson, before taking the chair, took the oath of office, ad ministered by Mr. Moses. The election for Speaker excited decided interest and the liveliest kind of work was in progress for a couple of days. HVPEAKER sTEvENSON' SPEFcH. Mr. Stevenson, in taking the chair, made an admirable and forcible speecb. He spoke briefly, but to the point, and there was moaning in all lie said, which, in brief, was that we were at the beginning of a new opoch in the history of South Caro liua and the body here assembled would be called upon to write the introduction to that history; that lie was satisfied that it would be a his tory of progress without radical fea turies, and conservatism without old fogyismn; that an era of prosperity was nowv dawning that should not be dlamaged by injudicious legis lationr. The question of first import anice probably will lie the regulation of cotton mill labor. This should be done, but done in so conservative a wvay as to leave the present amicable relations between our mills and the operators undisturbed and foster this great industry which has added so much to our material prosperity. Onr free schools must be improved; our railroads kept properly regulated, and all of our interdependent indus t riosu guarded wvith jealous care. ELECTION ,OF CLERK. Speaker Stevenson promptly called for nominations for the position of clerk to the House. The incumbent, Mr. Thomas 0. Hamer, of Marlboro, and a former clerk, 061. J. Walter Gray, of Greenville, were placed in nomination. The vote stood: Harrer, 78; Gray, 41. Mr. Hamer was de. clared elected and on motion of Mr. Morgan, IIis election was made unan.. imous. vOTE FORl 5EROEANT-AT-A'fMs. Then came the election of sergeant. at arins. Former Sergeant-at-Arms Stansell was not a candidate for re elect ion. Mr. Wilson, of Lancaster, was elected. READING CLERK WITHIEIs. Nominations were then called for reading clerk and no one would run against Capt,. J. S. Withers, of Ches ter.' wORK r THEi SENATE. Columbia, January 8.-The 'Sen. ato whe it assembled today preont edi a familiar appoar.aice. A largo majority of the Senators aro "hold overs," while a number of others wore ro elected, so that thoro was no delay in proceeding. Tho Senate was called to ord,r by the retiring Lt.' Governor, Mr. Scar borough, the exorcises being oponed with prayer by the Rov. Mr. Waddell. The now Senators, as well as the holdovers, took the oath, and Smna tor John C. Shoppard, of Edgefeld, was unanm1111ously olocte Presidont pro tWm, Other elections being in order, Gen. It. 11. Hemphill was re elocted clork without opposition. For Sergeant at-arims, Col. John T. Ovas ton, of Coluibia, the ineumibent; Mr. J. Fred Schumport., of Newber. ry, and Capt. E. A. Crawford, of York, were nom1inated. The roslIt. of the ballot was: Gaston, 17; Schumport, 15; Crawford, 5. A second ballot was necessary, as it rv quired 19 votes to elect On the roll call the vote wis 18 for Schumport, and Gaston and 1 for Crawford. Senator Glenn changed the latter vote to Schum port, thus electing him. Mr. W. II. Stewart., the ellicioit. reading clerk, was re elected with oit opposition. The Rev. C. ti. Waddell, the present chaplain, do. clined re-election, and the Rov. S. H-. Zimmerman, pastor of the Main Street Methodist Church, was elected. Mr. Scarborongh announced the following appoint-monts by Lionton ant-Governor Tillman: Assistant clerk, It. M. McCown; Journal clerk, M. S. Clark; bill clerk, E. S. Dingle; doorkeepers, J. A. White, gallery; J. C. Ragan, C. F. Holmes, downstairs; pages, Halsey Fox, Willie Teaguo; wail clerk, R. J. Parks; porter, H-. D. Butler; keeper of President's rpom, L. B. McCracken; laborers, Jack Pressley, Albert Nance. Mr. Scarborough took occasion to make somo appropriate remarks ex pressing pleasure at the assembling of the Senate under such auspicious ciroumstances, and welcoming the now Senat.>rs on the part of the old ones. He expressed the belief that this Senate would fully maintain the prostige of its predecessors, and re ferred in feeling terms to the death of Senator Mauldin, of Hampton. The Senate being fully organized the House was so informed, and a committee, consisting of Sonators Henderson, Livingston and Blakoney, was appointed to notify the Gover nor that the Senate was ready for his message. After the reading of the muesage Senator Barnwell offered a resolution that it be referred to the committee on rules to consider the propriety of a-1.ending Joint Rude 7 so as to do away with the requirement that both houses should be present at the rat ification of Acts. He said that prior to 1805 the Governor in South Carolina had no power to veto, and when an Act was ratified it became law, and there was no power of cor recting errors or omissions. Con sequently it was made a very solemn ceremonial. Acts were ratified on the last day of, the session; both houses were present, and Mr Speaker and Mr. President of the Senate, for the Lieutenant Governor did not pre side over the Senate, stood together at the President's des5k. Mr. Presi dent bowed to Mr. Speaikor. and said: "Mr. Speaker, I haive the .honor to present to you an Act entitled an Act, ete, and Mr. Speaker presented the Acts of the House to President with the same formula. Then the clerks of thbe two bouses stood below and solemuly read out from eh Act. "at General Assembly begun," etc. In 1805, when the Hion. W. D. Porter was Lieutenant Governor, aDd the Hion. C. LH Simonton Speaker, they devised a simple set of rules by which bills wvere ratified by the pre siding officers without ceremony. TIn 1808 this was modified by allowing the Speaker to attend in the Senate without tbe H-ouse, and in 1877 the ratifieation by both ho'ises was re stored. He thought the experience of all Senators was to the effect that this was ai useleus waste of time-. A few members only of the' House at tended, and yet both bouses were obliged to aldjourn-11 at ito very bulsi est tilio of the session il o. demr t (o go through with this tilio consuming sC0o.
