COLUMBIA, b. o., November ~, lo6o.-lne
General Assembly convenes in regular session
at 12 M. tomorrow (Tuesday.) Should there be
a quorum the message of the Governor will
probably not be communicated before We'd
nesday. It is said by the knowing ones that it
will be very short, and relate almost entirely
to matters of business.
In relation to political matters there appears
to be better feeling existing between the
politicians Of both parties, which is leading to
the discussion of differences Of opinion In a
surprisingly pleasant and friendly manner.
1t is contended, by the leaders of the Repub-
lican party, that neither the Hon. j. F. Reed
for the Third, nor Hon. ". D. Simpson for the
Fourth Congressional Districts, though each
elected by some five thousand majority, will be
able to take their seats. They argue that
under the decision made by Congress in the
Kentucy election case, the votes given for can
didates disqualified by the fourteenth article or
amendment to the constitution will be consider
ed as nonentities, and that Mr.. Hoge-who, by
the way. writes his name Huge so as not to be
mistaken for Hog-and Mr.. Wallace will be de-
clared elected and admitted to seats. Others
think that a new election will be ordered.
The friends of Mr.. Reed and Mr.. Simpson on
the other hand argue that General Grant will
urge pacific measures with the view of intro
ducing harmony into the country. It is be-
lieyed that his inaugural will breathe such q
spirit as to cause the House Of Representatives
to admit Messrs. Reed and Simpson, both of
hava ia ri
ed, accepted the situation. MIR. Reeds speech,
delivered at Anderson, has elcited the admi-
ration OF both parties, and number OF promi-
nent Republicans arc advocating the removal
OF his political disabilities.
Governor Scott. whom your correspondent
met on the cars leturning to Columbia, looks
we'll after his visit. He has brought with him
from Ohio his family, who left Charlie ston last
summer for their health, and the Gubernato-
rial mansion will therefore be Graced during
the winter By the presence of the Governors
wife. The Governor says that he has conversed
extensively with gentlemen of the highest
position and wealth at the North and West,
aud they were all of the opinion that the
only way to revive the fallen fortunes OF
the State, is for. the people OF intelligence
in the State to cease to look With distrust
and scorn on Northern people who settle in the
State and bring their capital in other words,
not to satirize them Us "carpet-baggers" or to
ridicule them if they see f. to become can,li-
dates for Office. They told the Governor that
as long as that feeling existed, or unless the
people became more cosmopolite in their ways
aud customs, the State would remain in it's
present halfway disorganized condition and
could possess no credit abroad. The Governor
hopes that as General Grant has been elected
by SO overwhelming majority the old feeling
will wear away, and that General Grant, in ad-
miuistering the government, will be able to
shape his course so as to create O conciiatory
disposition between all parties.
The Governor also states that ieading rail-
road men and capitalists, worth ten and twelve
million dollars, are anNously awaiting The
thorough establishment Of civil law in the
State, when they are ready to give their money
aud energies in any railroad enterprise in the
South which has q shadow Of promise OF being
safe and profitable to themselves, as well as to
the communities to be benehtted by their con-
struction. ALI they want to be assured of is
that the old citizens recognize fully the laws
passed by Congress and the Legislatures of
the various States, and will act up to them
faithfully. Governor Scott has no doubt what
ever of being able to 60 on to the completion
of the Blue Ridge Railroad, if the present peace
of the State be maintained, and the people for
get, for the time, all political issues, and de-
vote themselves to their material interests.
The regular term Of the United States Court
opens here to-day. Judge Bryan is expected
tomorrow. The ever courteous and gentle
manly clerk, Daniel Horlbeck, Esq, to whom
the members Of the bar and the press are
under many and great obligations, is here ;
also Mr.. Eppi1g and number OF his deputies.
Major Corbin is expected this evening.
