Suspension Of Leslie. = ir,s:y ... .;sa a'.
Last week we mentioned that an attempt
had been made to expel O.-P. Leslie, the Senator
from Barnwell District, on charge Of contempt
of the Senate, which resulted in failure BY one
vote. On Saturday night of last week, Leslie made
a public speech in FRONT of Nickersons hotel, in
columbia, in which he handled some of his col
leagues with gloves off, On Monday, one Of the
|Senators, smartipg under Leses castgation, moved
for reconsideration of the vote on the question Of
expulsion, which was agreed to. A resolution was
then introduced and adopted, to suspend the ire
pressible Leslie for six months. 49,

LEGISLATURE remained in session for several days lon
ger than was intended, solely for the purpose Of
being epaid Of" before leaving. Desperate at
tembts were made to- procure the necessary quan-

" Indifferent success. The members at last gave
up in despair, and consented to take Bills Receiv-

disposed of their share at once at sixty cents, and
some were sold.as low as fifty y-fre and even: fifty
cents. The members were. all paid IN new bills
With the honest signature of Neagle attached there

is more than they can bear, and that the 'Nea-
gles," as the new: bills are called, will soon be

The Laurensville Herald, published at the
home Of Hon. W. D. Simpson, the candidate for
Congress from this-the 1Fourth--C Congressional
District in speaking of his nomination, says: -:
"Col. Simpson is we'll known throughout the
broad extent of the District; his nomination will
be received with enthusiasm, and if patriotism,
eloauence, ability, the highest integrity and devo
ton to the principles of the Democratic faith will
command success then the success of this nomina-
ton is beyond peradventure.' No man in the Dis
trict could have more universally commanded the
applause and support Of the people. " . n,...I :,
In the Fourth District the white man is.strong,
yery strong, compared to the other Districts of the
State. But this fact should not diminish the ef-
fort and the enthusiasm which should govern the
conduct of this fstrugge-let us work as though We
had the impossible to overcome and Herculean
tasks before US 1t is unnecessary to say to the
people of Laurens to be aroused in the interest of
their honored and beloved fellow-citizen, and the
glorious party whose standard bearer he is appoint

Election Of Judge for the sixth Circuit.
----On Wednesday, of last week, the Legisa-
tnre elected ". N: Thomas. of Greenviue, to be
the Circuit Judge Of the Sixth District, vice G.
W. Williams, Esq, Of Yorkvile, declined to ac-
cept the doubtful honors. There seems to have
been considerable difficulty to get any one to take
the place, and for Once, an office was about to go
q begging Thomas was only elected on the Sc
cond ballot, although he had no competitor. One
third of the votes we're thrown away, as the Dem
ocrats were disgusted at the very idea, and many
of the Republicans refused to vote for him although
he was the nominee of q caucus. As he is elected
for the Circuit to which York and the surrounding
Districts are assigned, we clip the following pen
and ink sketch of our new Judge from the Colum.
bia correspondence Of the Charleston Neos:
GAS far as can learn, this Thomas is low fel
low, of whom his family feel very much ashamed.
He was commissioner of equity IN Greenvlle du-
ring the war has all the little dirty that can
be picked up at that bar His talents are summed
up by one who ought to know as vor ct preterea,
nai7, and he has been Radical for short time.
The Republicans did not want him, and those who
knew him best wanted him least ;'but there wasno
choice 80 he was nominated by the Republican
caucus, after hard fight Even then i. took two
ballots of the Legislature to elect him. The DEM
ocrats voted for Moore, and the disgusted Repub.
icans scattered their votes around loosely, some Of
them falling on men who are dreadfully annoyed
at this marx of attention. Langston, the colored
Demostheues, who spouted for the darkies here
few nights since, received five votes Langston
has more white blood in his veins than black, and
is man Of acknowledged parts He is Superin:
tendent Of Educationin the Freedmen Bureau,
and has been admitted to practice in the United
States Supreme Court i ID. -. =. =. IT,.
