The senate held two sessions yester? day and was sitting altogether for six and a half hours. Yet the resuhs are not great. At the morning meeting Mr. Barnwell made an earnest fight in a cause already lost, the remainder of the time being given to considering a report from the house and in making changes in a hill to incorporate minor towns. At night the interest was greater, for a kind of cannon cracker was exploded. It was noe known at first who had touched it off, or under whose chair it was, but a little smoke remained, and endeavor to trace it UD elicited the informaci?n that tho thing bad been in the vicinity of the chair of the distinguished gentleman from Edge. field. To be more explicit, it is said that last night the first gun was ?red in the guber uat?riai ..'ampaige for 1S96, and the concurrent resolution scut over from ruo house providing for rhc investigation of colleges was the weapou intended ro inaugurate the skir? mish. The Senate bill providing for :hc ;s tablishment of the Supremo Court waa the first bill taken up by the Senate nc the morning cession.

The new school law bill was reported : favorably by the committee on educa don. HOUSE. The cause of the Cuban patriots was j the leadtos feature of the debate in the house of iepreseotatives yesterday, aod it assumed exceedingly interesting pro? portions before the resolution expressing sympathy fur the patriots aud calling on congress to recognize them as belliger? ents was adopted. This resolution was offered by Mr. Wolff some days ago aud had been wairicg its turn ou the calen? dar. Dr. Wyche, Mr. Warr, who bad be?n in one war aod didn't wish to have another, and Mr. Skinner were the principal oppouents of the r?solu- j tion. The whole matter was a little j unusual, and the resolution was finally adopted by a rising vote. Some very patriotic talk was indulged io by the advocates of the resolution. Aside from this the House put in a heavy day's work, meeting at 10 o'clock and continuing io session until about half-past 2 o'clock. A great many matters were considered aud dis? posed of Tile speaker, durirjg the day, anoouoced the appointment of tte members on the part of the House of thc joint committee charged with the investigation of the charges aod rumors in regard to Clemson College.

Williams' resolution ?D re ! gard to the title of certain members to i seats in tho House was also adopted, j A considerable number of new bills ; were introduced during the day. Most i of the bills affectiog the railroads were j reported unfavorably yesterday. The committee on privileges and ! elections bas sent back to the House j without recommendations the Austra ; lian ballot bill of Mr. Manning, with ! the request that the bill as remodeled j by its author be printed and laid upon j the desks of the members.

CONWAY, Jan. 23.-Quite a myste ; rious robbery occurred here on the ] night of the loth inst. The fact was kept quiet for a purpose, ouly a few of : the "faithful ones" knowing it. The safe of the county treasurer of Horry was opeced and robbed of about $2, ' 500. County Treasurer L D. Loog was in his office duriog the day aod says be locked his safe, as is his custom, before closing up for the night. Returning on Tuesday morning, he found his office door open and on further examination discovered that his .safe had been open? ed and the amount as stated, gone. The thief evidently must have known j ; the combinaiton, and having provided himself with a key to the office, had no trouble in getting the booty. This was a surprise to us when we heard tbe truth yesterday, it is the first thing of the kind that has ever hap-, peued in our county and is to-be regret? ted. There is no clue to the robbery. The treasurer, I presume, bad some idea as to the robbery, but has not told aoy one. 9 nm JJ 23 i F@al i SS BI a ^ ?Badly i 1 To-day ? 1 2 We ask this repeatedly, because serious ? ^ diseases often follow trifling ailments. *J j if you are weak and g ja -r> o j generally exhausted, ??^ ?Browns bas^-1 -? -g i wurK. begin :xt on - ^ ? iron ra??ng the ni""re' ^ 3 is XJl?. j bable strengtnemni: ^ ? medicine which . s ?
