COLUMBIA, S. G., February l7.-The
excitement among the members Of the
General Assembly, induced by the veto
message Of the Governor for the past,
day or two has beer intense. There
was much larger attendance in both
houses than usual. Much bitter feeling
against the Governor has been express
ed at what was regarded direct insult
by the allusion made in the message to
the lobbying influence brought to be,r
in the passage OF the Grcrnvilc and
Columbia Railroad lnll The friends Of
The veto regarded this NJ an unfortunate
feature, tending 10 unnecessary iriita
ton and Of doubtful propristy. 1t,
afforded a strong lever to the opponents
OF the veto TO work upon the minds Of
many who were yet undecided as TO
their course. This feeling, it Is behev.
ed, was intensified by rlimor that the
Governor had signed petition to Con.
gress recommending the removal Of the
political disabilities Of Hon. j. p. Reed
and Hon. ". d. Simpson, the two De-
mocratc members elect to Congress.
Hence when the vote was taken this
morning the result was overwhelming in
favor Of the passage Of the act. Before
the House mrl, however, such a result
was not unlocked for, but hardly by
such large majority.
The proceedings Of the House were
opened by the reading Of the following
message from the Senate:
