I WBDNBsDAV, JAN. PROCEEDINGS OF THE LEGISLATURE. BIIU of Minor Importance-Election of the Judges-Body Getting Down to Work. Columbia, January Courier: The General Assembly of South Carolina was called to order to-day by 8peaker Stevenson at o'olock, m. When tho roll was oalled thoro were very fow members absent.

Threo of tho members bad died since last session. Their successors appeared, were sworn in and took thoir seats. The speaker delivered an address, impressing membors with the importance of devoting their time to the changes in the law made necessary by decisions of the Supromo Court. Special legislation must be eliminated from the statutes of the Stato, and all the officors put upon Balarles. Governor MoSwoonoy sent in his annual message aud also sovoral special messages.

One of tho latter was the veto of an act of tho last session oreating au additional school district in Audorsou on account of its unconstitutionality. The Legislature, acting under tho constitution, cauuot croato a school district. Tho Governor also vory properly vetoed tho act repealing what is known as thu "freo pass" law. The voto was sustained by a vote of tho Houso, tho bill having originated in that body. If tho railroads reach in any way thoofllcorsof tho Stato, legislators and members of Congress, they will have to adopt a mcasuro not embraced in the free pass law now of forco.

Tho Supromo Court has declared tho jury law unconstitutional, going fully into all tho mattors known as special legislation. If wo do our duty, wo shall not vory soon hoar anything in relation to tho unconsL'utionality of special legislation. Tho whole brood should bo wiped from tho statute laws of tho Stato. From overy county in tho State wo have news in regard to tho fail uro of crops this year, especially tho corn crop. Tho Senate was in session nlso, but adjourned very soon af tor tho Governor's message was read.

JANUARY 15TII. Tho cotton manufacturers of tho State have published an address to tho members of the I.ogislnturo on tho subject of child labor and education. All tho factories declaro that thoy favor compulsory education. Sixty-five of tho ono hundrod and sovonteen factories in tho Stato report that thoy have on thoir premises ninety-1 hi-ec churches, and that tho sum of $418,772.70 havo boen expended for building churches, school houses, and tho expenses of I Sunday schools, otc. This is a noblo work on tho part of tho mill owners.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 10. Tho Stato oflicorsand tho various institutions of tho State are making their reports for tho year just passed. Wo havo boforo us tho report of tho operations of tho Stato dispensary. Tho business of the year has amounted to something moro than $2,000,000. The profit is about $011,000.

Tho bulk of this fund goes to benefit tho freo schools of tho State. Tho committee appointed by the Legislature to examine tito affairs of the dispensary report favorably upon its condition. Tho expenditure of money for tho free schools amounts to $038,113. For the whites and for tho negroes $211,287.50. Tho expondituro last year was A bill to prevent tho salo of cigarettes was laid on tho tablo.

Sovoral bills (unimportant) woro introduced. Winthrop College asks for $02,000 to run that institution for tho prosont year. Last year, with a less number of students, the expenditure was $40,000. Last evening an interesting ceremony took placo in tho hall of tho Houso of I sen i ai i ves. Col.

John B. Cleveland, of Spartanburg, presented to tho State of South Carolina a mnrhlo tablet in which is sot a copper plate, that was once allix ec I to tho lid of tho collin of James Glonn, of Langcroft, Scotland, who was Governor of tho colony of South Carolina from 1738 to 1755, who afterwards died in Scotland and whoso romains now lie in tho old churchyard of Linlithgow. Prof. K. Means Davis, ono of tho professors of tho South Collego, made tho presentation speech.

Gov. McSwccnoy received tho relio in behalf of tho Stato. The address of Prof. Davis was full of historical reminiscences of the State. Compulsory education is much talked about hero, and a bill lias been introduced in tho Senate to carry it into execution.

SAT ii ii DA JANUARY 18. Tho General Assombly is getting down to business. The Houso has been anxious to dispose of the elections, but the Sonate scorns to bo moro conservative, and tho hole batch of candidates go over to next week-Tuesday probably. Mr. Smith introduced a bill to appropriate $200,000 to the public schools.

Tho forensic battlo raged hotly for a good part of two days. Finally, on a yoa and nay vote tho bill was dofoatod by a large majority-not bocauso tho Legisla line opposod to education, but because the State has already appropriated threo mills for flits purpose. A good part of tho profits oj tho dispensary also go in tho samo direction, bosides every school district can voto as much school tax as may be necessary to educato tho children in thoir The State is also baro of hroadstuffs and- the cotton monoy gonorally has boen spout, and it will bo hard work for tho poople to pay thoir taxes. Mr. Sanders, of Spartanburg, introduced a bill to allow olection? to bo hold in tho various parts of the State to de termine whether tho people want tho dispensary law or not.

Somo callod it a "local option" law. Evidontly thoro was any amount of politics in it. It mnst ho remembered that this elootion year. There was a great deal of discussion pro IP III I and con i tbe bili. Tho opponent? of the measure charged WM a covert attack on the dispensary law.

was denied by Mr. Sanders and thoso with him. On the first day rote indicated that the bill would yass, bot on the second day the bill was recommitted by a safe majority to the committee which reported it, where it will, in all probability, "sleep the sleep of death." The liquor question is oho of the most exciting subjects, and no other quostlou will receive consideration when it is put before the people, lt was admitted on all sides that the dispensary has boon proved to be the best solution of tho liquor question, whero sales of liquor are to be made, and that eventually a more perfeot mode of sale may bo found. Temperance is the best remedy for- the drink evil. He is a wiso man who never drinks spirituous liquors.

The factory "child labor bill" has boen introduced-at tito last session and also at this-but the discussion hat not oommenoed. There is more or lets hot talk all tho time in favor of compulsory education down here. Some of your readers favor, the measure and it may ovontually grow in strength and power. The following bills wore read tho second time in the Souate: A bill to authorize tho county treasurer and county superintendent of oration of tho several counties to borrow money for any fiscal year to pay school claims of said year. A bill to amend an act entitled "An act to allow the opening of dispensaries in Pickons and Oconeo counties md to for tho distribution of the profits therefrom in said counties," approved tho 18th Deoembor, A.

Nobody oxpeoted tho coronor tc kcop his office opon at tho Court Houst ovory day. The Legislature will bo invited to at tend tho Charleston Exposition in body, and will, no doubt, accept invitation.

Tho Senate adjourned on Friday meet on Monday ovoning. The House was in session on Saturday, but did no accomplish vory much.

It is known that tho State Capitol, tho parish church and many business houses and residences aro in ruins and there is much suffering as a result of tho awful seismic disturbance. One of the ediilcos that suffered most was the Federal telegraph offico, which explains the paucity of news that has so far roached this oity. Later meager dd ails havo begun to an hero.
