JEFFERSON DAVIS ABROAD.
LIVERPOOL, August Is, 1868.

LIVERPOOL, August Is, 1868.
Ib the Editor Of the Charleston Daily Netos:
sR-It will be interesting to many Of your
readers to receive an account Of the reception
Of MIR. Jefferson Davis in this country. He ar
rived by the steamer Austrian" Of the Mon
real line, in tolerably good health, although
to strangers he seemed delicate and careworn.
The southerners resident in this city and other
friends. on hearing that he was expected, en-
gagged rooms for his family at the Adelphi Ho-
tel and awaited his arrival. They decided to
avoid with care anything that might tend to
invite public demonstration. Their object
and desire was to evince their deep feelings
Of respect and sympathy, but within the
limits prescribed by a decorous regard for e1-
listing circumstances.
By these friends Mr.. Davis was welcomed on
the deck of the steamer, and hearty greeting
was offered to him and his family. The news
of his arrival spread rapidly around the docks,
and large number Of people assembled on
the quay, by whom, on landing, he was greet
ed with cheers and unanimous expression Of
warm and kindly feeling.
During the stay he has since made at the
Adelphi Hotel, he has been called upon by
those who had taken an interest in the South
ern cause, and by leading residents Of this
CITY who had taken no pro ninent part, butn
came forward to pay their respects, under the
feeling that prompts every generous mind to
sympathize with suffering and misfortune.
Having had the advantage Of frequent in
tercourse with Mr.. Davis, may venture TO
say, from personal knowledge and observation,
that he has won golden opinions from all who
have approached him. ALI are impressed by
his dignity of carriage and cour!ly bear
ing, and although there is usually an ex-
pression Of sadness on his features, furfow-
ed as they are by thought, anxiety and sorrow,
vet for most there comes smile singulariy
winning and benignant. In conversation his
tone is always calm, often cheerful; and none
have described their Impressions to me who
have not been struck, like myself, with the
force of his reflections on men and events, and
the felicity OF the diction in which they are ex-
pressed.

SATURDAY MORNING. AUGUST 29. 1863

Although, as have observed, public notice
has been carefully avoided, yet on several occa-
sions, when he has been recognized, he has
been greeted by the public Of all classes with
respectful cordiality. In this there was, no
trace of political feeling. 1t is the homage men
pay to one who has been the ruler of millions
of gallant race-whose name is inscribed for
ever on the page OF history-and on whose pu-
rity as public man SANDER has left no stain.
When to these there is added the recollection
Of sufferings, physical and mental, such as
we're seldom recorded or few have survived, it
is natural that all should be touched, and
should approach, even as with feeling Of rev.
erence, the living and present representative
of so much that was great in the past-of so
much that must live forever in the records Of
the future. I am, sir, very obediently,
AN ENGLISHMAN.

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
THURSDAY, August N..The Committee on
incorporation made favorable report on the
bill incorporating the Wando Mining and Man
ufacturing Company. The report was laid on
the table In order that the bill might be taken
up.
The report of the Committee Of Ways and
Means recommending that the stenographer OF
the House be allowed $1,000 for the session, was
adopted.
Boseman, of Charleston: presented the appl-
cation OF the Ashley Fire Company. Of Charles
to incorporate the said company.
The bill providing for the appointment Of
tax collectors was postponed until Tuesday.
The bill granting q charter to the Chatham
Railroad was taken up. and the discussion on
TOmlinson's amendment resumed. Tomlnson
spoke in favor and Elliott against the amend
ment. The amendment was finally lost. Nea-
gle offered an amendment that the building Of
fherroad be commenced from Columbia, but
it was lost, and the bill finally rushed through
to the third reading, Notwithstanding come
f1libustering.
The following bills were read a third time
and their titles changed to acts: ga bill to de-
termine and perpetuate the homestead;" "A
bill to establish the bonds of county ofcers;''
"a bill to provide for the temporary organiza-
ton OF the Educational Department OF the
State;n ..sA bill to license certain persons here
in named to act as pilots" DC.
A joint resolution was read and referred to
the Committee Of Ways and Means, authori-
zing the Ssrgeant-At-Arms OF the House. and
the Clerk of the Senate, to issue pay certif-
Gates to the members Of the Legislature, and
their officers and employees, for the amounts
due them up to August Slst, and that the said
officers be authorized to draw from the State
Treasury $40, 900 to pay those certificates.
'.' SENATE.
The second reading Of the Tax bill was oon-
cluded, but further consideration Of it was
postponed at request Of the ohsirman Of the
Finance Committee, to enable him to add one
or two more sections, taxing professions, &c.
The Governors Blue Ridge message was
read.
A resolution in regard to pay was intro
duced, similar to the House resolution, except
in the amount called for, which was s18, 900, in
stead OF SIC, 900.
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1868-08-29

until they FOUND that the majority were uelei
mined to rush the bill through. and further
opposition would only consume time. 1t may
be mentioned, as somewhat curious, that when
the filibustering commenced, the Speaker call
ed the attention of. the House to the fact that
Emotions are now being made in the
House for flibustering purposes, and
the chair cannot hear them unless order ls pre-
served" Whatever the members may think,
I have no desire to do injustice to this mon
grel body, but, really, to-day's proceedings
looked, to an outsider, as If the S20,OOO brlDe
was working admirably well. Elliott (colored),
chairman of the Railroad Committee, led the
forces Of the supporters Of the bill, and every
motion that had tendency to delay the pas
sage Of the bill for moment was at once vo-
ted down. The only amendments adopted
were one changing the time allowed for COM
mencing the road from three years to one year,
AMI the time allowed for completing it.from
fifteen years to five years; and both these
amendments were agreed to before hand by
the managers of the Chatham scheme.
Joint resolutions providing for paying off the
members we're introduced in both the Senate
and the House. The President Of the Senate
showed his ignorance oi parliamentary law by
allowing the Senate resolution TO be sent to
the House for concurrence after one reading.
The Speaker of the House knew better, and ia.
vored the intelligent body over which he pre-
sides with an elaborate explanation OF the diff
ference between joint and concurrent resolu-
lions.
The Governor says he has succeeded in ef.
fecting the loan of SIZE, 900 to pay the expenses
of the Legislature authorized by bill passed a
short time ago, and that he will receive the
money from New York by express on Tuesday
next. ........
The bill altering and amending the charter
Of the City of Charleston has been ratified,
and was sent to the Governor to-day. He has
not yet signed it, and some doubts are express
ed by outsiders whether he will sign it. The
ground which they allege for their opinion is,
that there is q conflict, between the provision
Of the bill allowing thirty days residence as a
qualification, and the provision Of the State
Constitution requiring sixty days residence as
qualification for voting in county, and they
think the Governor will take this view, and re-
quire that the time shall be extended to sixty
days before he will sign the bill.
Gen. J. D. Kennedy and Col. ]. P. Thomas
returned to-day from Abbeyille, where they
spoke before large Democratic gathering.
There were several thousand people preeent,
among whom were many negroes. The politi-
cal prospect in that section is very favorable,
and il We can do as we'll in other parts of the
State, we shall carry South Carolina for Sey-
mour and Blair. .1f.c. -.

The Camden Journal says: "The recent
rains have caused considerable freshet in
our river. We understand that considerable
corn and cotton have been under water, but
have heard no estimate Of the amount Of in

The Newbery Herald says: "This section

Small crops also showing signs OF promise un-

Union League under wrong conception OF
the principles and purposes Of that party, but
being convinced Of the ruin and dangers that
would result from such policy, l have severed
my connection with the Radical party, now and

The Anderson Intelligencer says: "Rev.
Elias Kennedy, well-mown colored preacher
of this place, was brutaly murdered on satur-
day last, near Ruckersville, Georgia, where he
had gone to attend q protracted meeting at
colored church. He was first ordered to leave
the place, and complied with the demand, but
had scarcely returned mile in this direction,
when he was decoyed from the buggy, and
shot by some person unknown. These facts
are obtained from his grandchild, small boy
who had accompanied him on the trip"
The Yorkville Enquirer has the following
"The corn crop Of this district, so far as we can
learn, still presents very promising appear
ance. The frequent and heavy rains OF the
past few weeks have made fair crop Of corn
tolerably certain. This remark applies more
properly to late corn, as much OF the early
planting was seriously injured by the drought
in June and July. There is considerable com.
that the crop Of that staple will be light. as, in
addition 10 rust, cotton has been injured by
being stunted in many places"

TIE NEWS FOB THE CAMPAIGN
GREAT INDUCEMENTS TO CLUBS.

The importance of the great political con-
test upon which we have now fairly entered
renders the dissemination among the people
of sound political views and accurate and ear
" information of the progress and. incidents
of the canvass, matter Of peculiar interest
and e1pediency. Every individual who has
anv stake in the welfare Of these Southern
st,tes should give an active, personal end un-
tagging support to the candidates OF the
National Democracy-SEYMoUR and BLAZE. A
tr;umph Of the Radicals will result in the
ntter desolation and ruin Of the South, and
the placing Of an ignorant and brutal race in
all positions and places Of honor and trust 10

ment must be wrested from the thieves ana
,,,unaerers who now have control OF it, and

CoLuxB1A, August 28-In the House., the
bin to incorporate the Citizens Bank caused a
long debate. The real gound of objection was

Dental electors and members Of Congress was
passed to it's third reading.
The following were read third time: bill
to establish justice courts and define the duties

The joint resolution providing for the pay OF
members produced lively discussion. Elliott

vailed at last, and the resolution was read
second time to avoid the Governors objec-
tons.
In the Senate notice was given OF bill to
grant charter for railroad from Columbia to
Cheraw, Camden and the North Carolina line.
Some six or eight negroes appeared in the
Executive Department to-day, shot in various

At sautuck, small station below Union
Courthouse, a number Of negroes were gather
ed to meet him, to get papers, hear the
news, &c. The white people present, who
we're armed, asked him what he was after,
when he said that he was President OF the
Union League They then threatened him,
and he and the blacks retreated. The whites
