IN THE HoUSR The house was the only body in session today in so far as legislation is concerned. There was a whole lot of discussion on bills presented, but as a rule they were passed over or otherwise disposed of. The Schloy cominomndatory resolu tion came up one day last week, it being introduced by Representative Johnson, of Fairfield. When it came up for consideration today there was much discussion on the resolution. A nnmnber of members thought the resolutions were unduly hard on criticism of the naval board, and while the house was as a rule "Schley men," they did not want to commit the state of South Carolina to a par tisan expression of opinion. The resolution after much discussion was referred to the committee on federal relations, but the Schley-Sampson controversy was largely debated bo fore this was done. TF.XT BOOKS VOlt TlE P1ot. Mr. Lomax's bill to provide free text books for poor children was then taken up, and Mr. Rucker defended the measure. He t.hought the bill a well conceived measure. It was pro. vided that not over five per ceont. should be invested in any one year for school books, and the hooks are to remain the property of the school trustees. Mr. Ashley thought the bill was right and it ought to pass. Mr. Lomax said he was familiar with the school situation of today and be held that the bill was on the right line. His whole purpose was to help the public schools. Last year ho proposed to the trustees of his school that they would buy books and loan them to the children and the result wus that every school child in the district attended the schools. Mr. Webb said he was the friend of the poor children. His syldipa thies went out to the poor children. The bill forces the children to take an oath that they were unable to buy books. Mr. Ashley and Mr. Lomax in. siotel that no oath was required. The best thing was to improve the schools and get them on a cash basis. Books are now very cheap. Mr. F. H. Melhaster favored the bill with a strong speech. The bill was then ordered to its third reading as follows: Section 1. That whenever it shall be made to appear to the sat isfaction of the trustees of any school district that any patron of such school is un able by reason of poverty to pnIrchase the necessary books for the use of his or her child or children, theni in such case the trustees of such schools district may in their discretion pur chase such necessary b)ooks for such pupils: Provided, the sum so cx pendo:l for thepircha-rn of md b)ooks shall not exceed the sum of 5 per cent, of the school fund of said dis1 trict in any one year: And provided further, That the books so pur chased shall be the property of such public school district. Several other matters were dis cussed but nothing of importance was disposed of. IN THEN SNNATR. January 20.--The Senate met at 8:00 o'clock tonight. Among others the following new bills were intro duced: Senator G*oodwyn: To pt-ovide for an oil inspector and regulating his duties. Senator Douglass: Regalating the -aid given by counties to Ex Confed orate soldiers and to prevent their disfranchisement. Senator Gaines: To deliver cer tain relics to the Daughters of the Confederacy of Greenwood. Senator Raysor: To compensate township boards of assessors. Senator Stanland: Providing for a Confederate home. The Senate then went into consid oration of third reading bills The following bills wOro passocd: Senator I) (Irck: To authorizo the county trosHnrer and county sup orintendent of the several countios to borrow money for any fiscal year to pay school 3lails of said )o ar. The house bill proposed by Mr. McGowan, to authorize refundmig bonds issued by school districts, was given a third reading. A special order was made of Sona tor Sheppard's bill relating to kid nappimg. Senator Sheppard's bill rolating to twc election boards came up, and the Senator explained that the present i'tw reqired one board for State ofli cors and another for national. There are appointed in each precinct two sets of managers. The purposo is to have one board. Where it costs now $30,000, it will cost under this bill half that amount. The bill was passed to a third read ing on motion of Senator Sheppard. The bill to ostablish Congressional districts in the State, being one in troducod by Senator Marshall, was n.ade a special order for Friday. Senator Graydon's jury bill was read in its great length with various anendmlents sllggOsted lby the col mittee. Sonator Aldrich moved that. Soc tion 1 hould be amended so that the Governor should be instructed to ap point throo distraet, persons in each county, who should receive certaim componsition, who should draw the juries. Senator Aldrich proceeded to make a forceful and interesting address on the jury law generally, taking instances in li"e mWn t'expI rience to show why his amendment should be adopted. He argued very eloquently for the purity of the jury and jury law, and thought the selec tion of juries should be intrusted to men who have no oflle or political aspirations. Senator Graydon, in a general do. fence of the jury A) stem, declared that ninety nine times out of a hun dred the verdicts of the juries of South Carolina were right. TI'hese verdicts might not please the news papers, and the amendment would certainly put the appointees of the Governor in the primary, and oven if it <id not do that, it. might provide somo jobs on the recommendation of Senators. Senator Aldrich replied anti charged very earnestly that. the prs ont jury law is not proporly carried out. He declared that some of the hest citizens were not on the jury .list, because the juries are generally drawvn by politicians. Senator May field1 (1isculssed thle bill and moved1 to post.pone indefin itely the amendmuient otferedI by Sen ator Aldrich. Ilis motion was adopted. There was a good deal of discus sion as to the amnendmnint mn reference to the number of naimes put inl tihe jury b)ox. Senator Mayfield and( Seln ator Mower made suggest,ions. Af ter a great dleal of discussion the b)ill was finally passed, with 801m1 mliino'r amndmenats, one b)eing b)y Senator M~'ower, to put in the jury box one name out of every three of the qualitied electors in each county. Many other amendmients were voted on, b)ut tuere were so many of them thlat the bill wats ordered onlgrossed and printed before it is sent to the ouse. It was provided that the bill should become effective at once, as soon as approvedl by tile Governor. Senator D)ouglass int.rodneed1 a bill making it unlawful for any indig ent Confederate to be commit ted to the poor honse and providimg t.hat be should receive cogit.y aid. IN THES AENA TE. January 21.-On account of the election of jadges, thle Senate only remained in session about a half-hour this morning. Several bills were introduced, tile most important of which being a bill introduced by Senator Aldrich, of Barnwell, to pun. ish any party nodessly exposing any child to fire. The bill was given its first reading. The bill of Senator Sheppard to provide only one set of commission ers for election passed( its third read ing. and wasnt to the house. in the house, only routine blsiness was done, and no important matter was takon up to delay the elections. J anuary 22. ----The various re districting hills introduced Caused tho honso to spond almost the on tire morning Hossion in (is3cutssion, and at ono timo it looked as if there wouhl be hard words between Mr. Weston, Ri chland, and Mr. Cosgrove, of Charlest.on. The ball oponed by a speech by Mr. Melowan, who spoke for some time in favor of his bill. As there aro bills by Messrs. Woston, Iroe mnan and McGowan, ho was inter rupted soveral times by a number of supporters of the various bills. Ho nadoi a strong argument, however, and it, could bo s001n that he won ovor several to his side. Afier a speech by Mr. Weston in favor of his bill and remarks by Hev oral other members of the house, Mr. Cosgrove, of Charleston, moved that the whole matter ho referred to the comnimittoo on privilegos and elec tions, as that comlmlitteo 1had never heard of t he bill, and thore is where the bill should have been referred. In fact, the members of that comtnittoo should havo boon consultedt about the mtattor. 110 further moved that one week he given all who wanted to (iscU's t he bill to appear hoforo that comm11ittoo. Mr. Vest.on was on his foot at once andt(] repliV(1 that ho never had introducod t hill in Iihe bons1 by con sont. of any committo, and if they thought that. everything should be referred to thenm before being int ro duced, then "to hell with the con lit 0o0 onl priviloges andl elections." Mlossrs. D)oInitck, Weston, Cos grovo and Smith engaged in a little sqluabble, until somliobody moved that the house adjourn. The resolution of Mr. Cosgrove wis lost, and tihe house adjourned aifter decidling to visit. Augusta Fri day and take part in the good roads convention there. The Senato do cidind yesterday not to go. IN THE SENATE. In the Senato little was (1one, ex. co)t in discussion of the three or four bii(s up for consideration. ''he bill to prohibit corporation attorneyH from becoming members of the general assembly was killed. Senator Appell's bill to regulate the traillc in cotton Fin(d was killed, after much discussion. The bill to punish kidnapping with life imprisonment passed its third reading. After that a rumor was wvhispered around of the debaite go ing on ini the house and1( i:.nators comm1ionced going over. Later they adljoure d to miot tomorrow. tluemioIe ICecolvesau aiullet, ThmroiughIs Log ati. Iho Ilancs of sanuleIrA. [(-reonvil News, 21st.J Ex press Messengers McCIlond and Saniders hiad a difliculty on thle inicom ing Atlantic Coast line passenger train yesterday which resulted in Mc Cloud receiving a bullet through his left log. The affair occurred betwoen Ki nards vivd Newvborry while the trin wan inl motion. It seems that Mc (Jloud was a passengor on the train, but being a b)rot her Messenger went into Sandlers car, wvhere he was at work. In a short time, it in said1, Sanders beogan a qjuarrel with McCloud and finially cuirsed him and1 called him a lie. McCloud resented the insult by striking Sandeors, who pulled his pin. tol and1( fired1, the bullet pasning through his left leg. MceCloud grabbed the p)istol from Sanders and said, "I have a good notion to kill you." A wvitness~ in the car, however, grabb)ed McCloud's hand and pre ventted him from firing the weapon. The wound in McCloud's leg in not considered serious, but a physician after ('xamining it said that the young man had a narrow escape "liind the bullet struck about tw: inches higher it doubtless would havi killed him.'' It in not known whether Sanders will lbe prosecuted. JSoth of the young men run as messengor on the A. CI. L. botween Laurens anm Charleston and are experienced mer in their work. 114 wV n i .' n t I ieot Ilu s U 111%twv.r thtit "hth nt,vulutltntury War vIN W'+,gt'1 w111.1y nm11 Ixclu NIV11y by 1 11 I) it s t1. euntl of tio 'llgr.m Fiith. re." [laltimoro Sun.] In a 1speech in the Senate yoster. (lay, Mr. Tillman, of South Carolina, made an observation which will give grievous offeice to New England, and doubtless provoke a crushing re joinder from the Senators from that section. Mr. Tillman, according to a Washington dispatch, ''spoke of the achievements of the South Caro lina troops in the levolut.ionary war, and s'il that the battles fought mo his State were more important than those fought in Massaclusetts." "We don't want. Massiachusetts to bag all of tho glory," ho added, "for as our illustrious lear Admiral Schley has said of a later triumph of our arms, there is glory enough for all." It is regretable that Mr. Tillman has beoi lod into this indiscreet ut torance. Upon the best Mtassaclhu setts 1'uthority it can be assorted that the levolutionary war was wag9d solely and exclusively by the descendants of the Pilgrim Fathers, despit.e all - tatomionts to the cont.rary. George Washington, the groat sol dier of the Revolution, wIs not, ats some ill-informed porsons assort, a Virginian of the c.,valier type, but a pure-hloodecl son of a ''.1'raise-(od Barebones" sire. I'homat1l J('ffersoI was of undiluted Puritan ancestry, and the )eclaration of I ndependonce was a rehash of the eXpressions of Boston tea-party patriots. Massa chusetts troops alone and unassisted fought Bnrgoyne to a standstill and conpolled him to surrender. The capture of Cornwallis at Yorktown, Va., was a triumph of New England valor and goneralship, the French allies of the liovolutionists being merely spectators, who were pormit ted to be present to see how Massa clusetts could humble "Perfidious Albion." The battles in the South wore all fought by New England warriors, the natives coming upon the field after the victories were won to con gratulate the legions from Boston upon their invincible courage. Some historians who have not availed them selves of the only reliable sources of information have rashly assorted that John Paul Jones, the dashing sea-fighter, was born in Scotland. Of course, this cannot be the fact. Jones's'ancestors came over on thc Mayflower, and the naval hero wvas born under the shadow of the Sacred Codfish. In the second war wvitti England Massachusetts mai ntai ned her supremacy. That cultured Bos. tonian, Androwy Jackson, was in com. mnand of the New England troopE which won the famous battle at Nov~ Orleans, while the glorious achieve. moents of our navy on the great lakef and elsewhere must b)0 fairly attrihu ted to New Englanid. Mr. Tillman's friends wilhl bo0 sur. prised to finid that ho is not convers ant wvith history as it is written ir Boston. After the Senators fronr that part of the country have fin ished with him lie will be a wviser ani a sadder man, He wvill learn that every great andl good man who hat had a hand in the making of this Rto public was a New Englander. Souti Carolinians, Virginians and Penn sylvanians may have mado feebbi offorts to he useful, bult their labort were, of course, in vain. When Mr Hobar turns his batteries upon Mr Tillmanm the latter will discover jus how insignificant and trivial a par everyb)ody except the Pilgrim Fath erm played in the dlevelopmenit of th< United States. It, is impossible no to fool sorry for the South Carohmni Senator, for his motives were good oven if his discrot ion was below pa and( his knowledge of American his tory sadly inadequate.
