PArING THE PlPER.-Mr. Rhett, in
the South Carolina Senate, on Friday
admitted that the expenses of thst State
tor the coming year we're estimated at
two millions, aud the total resources Of
the State amounted to only one million
five hundred and fifty-fiy thousand
dollars! They must look out, he said,
that they we're not bankrupt before the
end of the year.

GRIMES AND VANDEvER.- Senator
Grimes from this State, is said to have
been one Of the three Republican Sena-
tors who congratulated Seward upon
his late speech, thus indicating to his
Iowa constituents that he is 4" for the
Union, with his party, or if not thus,
then without his party.
Vandever comes up to the chalk and
votes in tho Border State committee
for the compromise. That is sensible,
though there are certain of his friends
about here who will question the sound
ness Of his knees. Two Of Iowa's MEM
bers in Congress are abandoning the
orthodox Republican wing.

ANOTHER RuMPUs.-The Chicago
papers of the Republican stripe are
fearful that there will be . grand SIAM
pede OF the Democratic members of
the Illinois Legislature one Of these
days. and that the wheels of the govern
ment will be completely c!ogged there
by. There is not yet sufficient authori-
ty upon the subject to warrant US in
oiming any conclusion. Brooks, Of
Adams county, has thrown up his seat
10 the Senate and gone home.
