At the morning session of th? sen? ate yesterday Senator Walker resum? ed his argument against the rate bill. Ho stated In the outset that he thought It eminently unwise to enact any rate legislation at this session. He *poke for about one hour, quoting genoronsfy from newspaper articles and editorials terding to show the harm that will result from the low? ering of passenger rates. II ? appealed to senators to vote against the bill as r matter of busi? ness policy, as a protection to the pivnent pro/pei1ty? of th? South and of South Carolina In the first place, he said, there Is no demand for r-uch a law In this State?the traveling n'ein. who pay most of the railroad* in the way of passenger fares, had niado nv> demand or request for low? er rates. And he reiterated his as? sertion of the day before that politics lc at the bottom of the wisest proposi? tion. ? ' He Maid ?hat the eyes of the nation are upon us. That the commercial world Is watching cltsely the general assembly of South Carolina. Last yxair this State pursued a policy of conservatism and had won the ap plaudlt^ of the preae and of capital. Senator Walker referred to the rlv? rs and harbor* convention recent? ly held in Wn3hlngton and of how 2.000 representative men from everv section of the United States stood to? gether In that great convention and pleaded for the preservation of the country's prosperity?for the protec? tion of Its great wealth-producing in du. tri. - He declared that the man? ner in which John A. Johnson, gov? ernor of Minnesota, marjhaled fig? ures which told of the unsurpassed Industrial prosperity of America was something wonderful. By way of pa? renthesis he added that Qov. Johnson should be the next nominee of the Democratic party for the presi? dency. MANY MATTKHS IlKl'OKE SOLON'S ON I ItlDAV.

This is a non-debatable ? tlon and on a call foi the-ayes (id nays the bill was continued by a ote of 54 to 34. Mr. Aull's bill, along the same line, v-n* passed over and is still or? the ?ihndar. Its author stated >estorday Dal he would take It up later. The bill from Mr. Aull, providing a rural police force, and Mr. yer's bill en the same subject wer?* 'on up Jointly.

Mr. Doar'g bill empowering the po lice of towns and cities to arrest mu nicipal offenders within one mile of the town limits was passed to third reading after Mr. Doar explained th< necessity of the measure to the small or towns, especially In the lower part of the Stute. An argument advanced by Mr. Har? rison and Mr. Sharpe that Mr. Can? non's bill providing for widows of Confederate soldiers to receive pen? sions, regardless otf age, killed the measure. The point was raised that it would mean the payment of pen? sions to widows for years to come and that only these widows of Con? federate soldiers who themselves went through the troubles of the war were entitled to compensation. The ante was 69 to 29. Mr. Aull's bill Iii tht sal of school books an.. rt?vsor'i bill on the same fubjecl were c n tlnjcd by a vote of to 15 nttei somo discussion.

"ar outrage a id an infamy" arv some of the term* used In the State ? senate yesterday morning by members ^f that body in characterizing certain I tatements contained in an article ap? pearing in the Manning Times. of which Senator Appelt is editor. One SsnatOf went so far as to say that the author of the article should be ex pellftd from the senate. The article referred to had appear? ed in Senator Appety'a paper Bome hu e ago and had been reprinted 111 Some '>f the daily papers, but had ex? cited no comment until reprinted In the Newberry Observer, it readu a? [ollowei Senator Appelt of Clarendon wrote as follows in the Manning firms, of which he is the editor: The li'iuor scandals continue to hold Interest and the graft gang an trying to work up a sentiment against the attorney general because of his having employed Col. T. B. Felder of Atlanta, (Ja., to assist him. Tiny say 'Lyon had to go to Georgia to get help, as though South Carolina did oo< have good lawyers.' but such rot will fool nobody when It is known that che liquor crew have, in their relations wiih the winding up commission of the State dispensary retained a large number of lawyers In Columbia and Other cities, and -some of these nr. also member! of the legislature, wh? Will probably fight the proposition of making an appropriation to defray the attc?ney general's expenses In bringing to Justice men who have rcb ted the State. To SOnslhlc nun It matters no| where the aselstane? c ?mes from, whether It comes fron 'ieergla or South Carolina, but It s< happens that Col.

Immediately upon the senate re? convening at 4 o'clock in the after noon.

The following special fmni Colum? bia appears In this weeks i*sue of the 1 cuuf^rt Gazette, of which Senator Xiels Ohristenscn, Jr., who, with \t tomey General Lyon, has been most ictive in investigating the affairs of the late State dispensary, is editor. A contest is being waged in Colum? bia this winter, the like of which I* eldom se? n in this State. It is going >tt beneath the surface for the rncst part, ihough occasional outcropplr^s ire noted In the papers. The State end the grafters have locked horns md are struggling mightily: the one to get off undetected and unpunished with as much of the boodle as possi? ble, and the other to uncover the most secret nests of corruption, to put the guilty in prison and to save for the State all that is due out of the *800,000 that is part of the bone of ;ontentlcn. The attorney general and the 'winding up commission" are work n?r in harmony, assisted by Messrs. bney of Columbia. Stevens of Che aw, and the firm of Anderson, Felder Roundtreo of Atlanta. Ranged ith them is a majority of the legls iture and the State press. This forcc ?mes onto the field to engage <n one r the last battles of a three-year in paign All that has happened ir rils affair since the appointment of ie legislative investigating committee 1!>05 serves as a foundation for 1 present contest.

This was denounced and its absurdity exposed hefcrc Judge I Pritchard last wc->k.

Fortunately for the State* his character is such as to make this at? tempt as futile as the others.
