The political complexion orthe next legisla.
ture will be somewhat OF mixed character.
The Senate is Republican by large major,y'
But 10 the House OF Representatives, neither
the Democrats or Republicans have the
majority, the balsnce.of power being ia The
hands of members ehcted as s"Union Men
This will somewhat complicate the election
OF Speaker and the organization Of the
House generally. Mr.. Rowe Of Frsnkliu.
formerly Surveyor General, good Douglas
democrat, who was elected es Union Mon"
is mentioned as one o! the prominent cnDdi
dates for Speaker. Mr.. Rowe is deservedly
popular man and democrat Of the true stripe,
We observe that one or two others arc named
by few papers, whose only Recommendations
ore supposed to be their rebel sympatbies
Among those recommended by the Republi.
cans is William II. Armstrong, Esq, of Will
Transport. Mr.. Armstrong last winter
ranked as one of the leading members Of the
uouse. lie is gentleman of superior abil
ties and highly esteemed By men Of oil parties
The House would be we'll organized under
either OF the above bsmed gentlemen.

Ga GREAT FIRE AT CHARLESTON The
greatest part of Charleston, South Carolina
is in ruins. A terrific fire broke out on The
ilth iasIant. and consumed the best parts Of
the city. The principal hotels. stores found
ries for cannon, ard many Of the principal
buildings, are in ashes. There are various
rumo's as TO the cause of the fire. Some
say it was by accident, others that il was
done by the negroes, who. it is said, are
ready for an iusurreciion. Thus il will be seen
that this Ill faied city where this wicked war
was FIRST commenced, dis now reaping the
fruits of its own folly aud madness. The FIRE
was seen at sea at night ten miles of lighting
up the waters around The loss is estimoted
at seven or eight millions. Five buudred
and seyenty-six buildings we're destroyed.
