There was a tie between Messrs 1.
Lewenthal and A. Weinberg. It
was then necessary to have anoth
er primary to decide between these
two and the result was the nomin
ation of I Lewenthal There was
nothing objectionable in tbe con
duct of tbe election on Tuesday,
and only s little friendly rivalry
between the partisans for Floyd
and Willcox showed that anything
nnnsnal was going on in town.
The election was held in tbe
town hall and at no time during
the day was there a crowd al the
polls. Altogether the election was
in striking contrast with one held
in town time years ago. The vote
polled was as follows :
For Mayor ; J. C. Willcox, 179 ;

Abbevilc, Mr. Beuet. He, Mr-
Haekell, kiew the people of Abbe
ville, where be was born, befoie Mr.
Benet ever knew there was such a
place at Abbeville on th» map 3l
America. He, at least, thought ha
knew the people of the State aa
well ss tbe gentleman who wow rep
resents Abbeville.
▲llndiug to an intimation from
Mr. Benet on the previous dav, to
the effect that the Lee suit bad been
uuderken ssa pretence or bind, be
said that the character of the ooun
sel who waa conducting tbe esse
was proof against insinuation or
popular clamor. The fifty years
of life that bad been so well spent
by the senior c mnsel, Ex Attorney
Geueiai Youiuhus, was answer
enough to any sucii • barge. The
speaker paid a glow, g and elo
queui tritmte to the ability, team
ing aud virtues ol Mr. You him us,
aud alluded in equally fl ittering
terms to the character of tbe junior
couusel in the case, Mr. Carey, of
Greenville. He bad neter met
Gideou Le but once in bis life, but
he kliew i he mother nf Miss Le.,
aud iu view ot the light in winch
they had been pictured to tbe
House be proposed to say some
thing iu defence of the child and
her lather before he finished. He
digressed here to explain bow h
bad heard .of the pending suit on
tbe streets, and bad pot in an ap
pearance for hit friend, Mr. Orr,
the counsel for the executors.
There are severs! wills, contiuned
Mr. Haskell, to be examined and
countrui <1 The senior counsel has
studied tire cst-o thoroughly and
has takcu a line to deleud Miss
Lee’s interest which is a complete
sui prise to the membera of the Bar.
That, however, did not interest the
House. What be contended was
that this was a bona fide suit. Tbe
House was asked to jump in and
accept this bequest in the face of
tbe fact that these questions have
to be passed upon by tbe Courts.
Why this baste f The Legislature
has three years in which to accept
or decline the bequest. The bill
appropriutea$l,500. Thatamounr,
he had been told, was to be spent,
iu buy ing two males and e plough,
It might run a two-horse plough,
but it couldn’t run an agricultural
college. He couldn’t see what they
could do with $1,500 except to pay
it oat in lawyers’ fees. He could
not see anything in the bill. If
there was any bidden purpose in it,
it was due to tbe House to be in
formed of it
Returning to Mr. Gideon Lee,
Mr. Haskell said be knew that gen
tleman was held iti high esteem by
all the descendants of Calhoun as
a gentleman of the purest charac
ter, and ytt he bad been represent
ed as refusing to allow his daugh
ter to go aud comfort her dying
grandfather. He also kmw that
Miss Lee was at her grandfather’s
iClenWs) 1 muse up to the 11th
yenr of b«' life, ana ne knew that
on the occasion of her last visit cer
tain tiling* had transpired which
rendered it undesirable, not to aay
impossitde, for a young lady to re
main at Fort Hill any Ipnger, and
tti.A these things had induced her
grandmother to k<ep her grand
child away fufin tbe house.
It was no* a very pleasant sub
ject to talk about, but it had been
rendered necessary by (he light in
bich Mr Lee aud hi» daugnter
had been held up to the geii’leoiau
on th* i (her side yesterday. .Mr.
Lee bad b«-eii (L-nnniiced f..r not
allowing his 'laughter to visit her
graudtn'her to « beet and comfort
his declining years The gentle
man ought to have known the rea
son for her absence, li was a mat
ter ot notoriety that a lady had
presided at Mr. Clemson’s table
beside w hour sat the daughter of a
woman who had never had a hus
band, (sensation) and yet it bad
been said that tbe Lees left this
poor old man to die iu want and
pining for bis grandchild. If any
mote proof was wanted let the gcu
tieman look over the accounts of
the deceased Clemson and he
weald find in them certain expendi
tures which would prevent a young
lady from making Fort Hill her
residence. I am not speaking
against the dead, said Mr. Haskell.
I am only raising my voice in be
half of the living.

Col. Haskell replies to Mr. Benet.
(From th* New* and Caaricr.)
When Col. Haskell arose the in
terest, which had flagged some
what, was renewed Mr. Benet bad,
in his speech yesterday, said some
things which eveiybody who knows
Col Haskell expected him to reply
to, aud they were not disap
pointed.
He said, in opeiyng,that it was a
matter of deep regret to him that
those who favored this bill bad
placed those who were not its ad*
vocates in an absolutely fabe po*i
lion. He knew of norighi ot these
gentlemen to put down the oppo
nents of tbe bill ss eoemres of the
farmers. The advocates of the bill
were no more the representatives
<* the people toss were those who
opposed it. He thought bo knew
the wishes of tbe people of he
State as well ss the gentleman from
Legislative Notes.
The H'-uso gf Kepieecn^r.tiws
has Acc* pled the i>* quest of Ttiom
as G. rienison and appropriated
$3,000 'o build -lii agricultural col
lege at Fort Hilt, by a vote of 67 to
48.
In the horizontal salary reduc
tion bill a vote was taken on a mo
tion to strike oat the eoSctiug
clause. The bill reduces the salary
of tbe Governor to $3,000, tbe
other State officers to $1,800 and
tbe Governor’s private secretary
and tbe clerks of departnrejts to
$1,000 each. The vote resulted—
54 to 46 in favor of tbe bill.
A bill waa killed in tbe Senate

amount, of course, will only do part
of the work.
ia toe appropriation bill tba
changns were not ot on important
character. An attempt was mode
by Mr. Waller to get in a horizontal
reduction of saiariea, bat it failed,

when Chairman Ha»k<ll explained
that the saWy appropriations bad
