The State's Capitol. It is One of toe Most Historic Buildings in tbe South. LEGISLATORS IN EA ELY J} A YS The Original Building and the Neic of To day-Historic Relics Care? fully Preserved. In this day of various societies, inss culine and feminise, for unearthing and perpetuating the chivalric incidents of the Colonia] and Revolutionary periods of American history we are continually on the lookout for some bidden find of fact or fancy, and when so discovered we reverently blow the dust away, rub j the old piece of silver, smooth out the cram pied sheet, decipher the fading ink-all, DO doubt, in very bad Eng? lish-and partioii'eally dispatch these heroic emblems to our favorite stoic room of national preserves. T| In a recent visit to South Carolina I "^.was told to be sure and visit tbe State j House I did so and found it the most imposing building and the most inter? esting archive of history ie that pictur? esque and noted town, Colombia. The State House of every State is always a centre of interest, but tbe Sate House of South Carolina, like the State House of Boston, strikes one as the great heart of the people, and, like all peo? ple, it bears-its scars' and bides its skel? eton. The State Haoes of South Caro lina may almost be called a national , cornerstone, for indissolubly connected with it are the names of Lord William \ Campbell, Rutledge and'Moultrie. In 1 the early days of the colony the seat of \ of government was at Charleston, j Lord Campbell tried to remove it to j Beanfort, for some British policy, but , the plan failed. When the colony be- . came a State it was considered neces- ? . sary to secure a more central capitol, j and for safety, one.farther from the coast. This was tn 1790, and the spot c selected was that on which Columbia t g now stands' Someone bas said that j Columbia, like Washington, was a cap?- j t tal city from her birth. * j c In the State House there now bangs - a photograph taken from a.n old print j j of the original State House It is a j quaint wooden structure and seems to t stand alone amid its primitive surround- t iags. In a recent open letter written j by one of Carolina's most charming t women? who has made th? study of ber n ; State a pleasure, she tells us that maoy t . were the aarship3 of the legislators in c the old days: "No accommodations f( for man or beast, or next'fo none, were g to be found ic Columbia proper. Her ? ons tavern held but (hs Governor and a fels suite, if they were not" entertained t] _ by the neighboring planters. The ma- t? jortty of thejawmakers were ?odged at Q Granby and compelled by the scarcity ?? of horses, they frequently walked to v their legislative duties. Their patriotic " enthusiasm never Sagged, thought most c of them were accustomed to ease and .< luxury when at borne. How would our * present legislators stand a return to ' such ultra JeSersonioo simplicity?" Ia the early part of this century tbe ot ig in al Sl ate House waa replaced by a larger and handsomer building, also of ^ wood, but she adds : **Irs wails beard tbe eloquence of Hayce. Legare, Pres ? ton and other gifted orators, who in tbe 20's and 30*s added lusture to the al- ^ ready brilliant repn'a?ion enjoyed by tj tbe State." b A still more worthy memorial was de- fi sired, and in 1853 ?be South Carolina L?gtslature passed a bill to construct a j{ Capitol which should compare favor- q ably with any other building of the ^ kind in tbe States. Tbe first floor of this building was nearly completed a when the foundations gave way and the ^ work was net re.-urned until 1857. when y the site wac placed a little west of rbi- j old one This i* the foundation A the present State House, and tbe ?Y..?!; ?I building has been carried cu at au enormous cost and prosecuted ia facs ?f difficulties that might daunt a less pa- j } triotic spirit J IQ 1861 two million do! ? 'lars had already been expended, and j a few years ago three hundred thousand ? more were used io handsome interior ; decoration and for repairing the effects j of abuse during the days of recons?ruc- . s tion. Tee building is now complete s except the dome and two portico^, j v which are to be placed at the back and j v front " The original designs call for a j i; , flight of ?asrble steps to ezch of these j I portico**, and wb?j completed will pro t lie: one hundred s:.-d ?f/y feet frota the 5 mai:; building Toe beautiful columns : a ir, er.dei for the porticos aod the statu- j I es of Agriculture and Commerce and 1 th? ba? reliefs lay io the State House ? grounds read for placement as the time j I of the breaking out of tbe civil war. u AU this beautiful ;vork done in Italy j a by the Sculptor Kirk Brown, was de- ( stroyed ic the war with about ?50,000 I j worth of other material ready for use. ; v Tbe marks of the cannon bails are ?tili j t to be seen on the west side Gf the State v House. It is said half a million doU v, lars will be needed to finish the build- ? in$ as originally designed. TbeState House stands at the head ? of Maia street, the principal thorough- t fare of Columbia, and reminds one of a a light set on a green hill ; or like a t diamond ic a emerald setting. Tho a mass of white stODe can be seen for ; c miles around, and as one draws near t the crass which covers the beautiful sloping elevation, seem startlingly.' green and fresh and smooth, but nature seem3 to spread this beautiful carpet all over Columbia. The of?ices of the Governor and other State officials and the Supreme Court rooms and library cccufy the . , first floor. The Senate and House of; Represenentalivey and the S Library aie on the second floor, believe South Carolina is the < State which still preserves the time flavor of royalty in her S Douse ceremonies. At the inaug tion of the Governor there is same promo and display observed in the time of the colony sword of State and the mace presented for the reverence of people, and the President of Renate and the Speaker of the Ho app?ar, dressed in purple robes 6i"lk and velvet and heavy embroide I have been to?d that the Speaker the House finds the robe so he; that during the proceedings of body over which he presides, he his gown hooked to the back of chair, so that in rising to put qi tions to the House he will not h? to liftits weight so often. Tb is an instance in the State where robe of this kind passed from fatl to soi?after a long interval, and t practice of looping the robe on 1 chair prevailed in both its terms cse. When the Supreme Court the State is in session the judges ways appear on tj^e bench in judie growns. This has always been t practice in Sooth Carlina. New Yo has recently letnrned to tbiscustoi tbu I believe these two States are t only ones which now have that ci tom,-thal has always bad the hij precedent of the Supreme Court the United States, and within t last few years bas the new authori yf the United States Court of A peal.
