Bosemen, Nash and Sparnick were declared
elected. There were ak more regents to be vot-
ed for, and Wilder desired to know II nomin atons
were still In order, to which Corbin answered In
the negative. Elliott blustered little, and ap.
pealed from the decision. CorbIn refused to enter
tain the appeal. Considerable confusion ensued
The senators seemed to think that they were I'm.
posed upon and showed disposition to retire
from the 1eld, whercupon whipper moved that
the Joint assembly adjourn, which motion was
considered carried and the Senate retired, amid
confusion.
1t is not probable that there will be any more
meetings in Joint assembly this session. Many
OF the senator's swear that they will never vote
with the House again. II this spirit is kept up
the Supreme Bench will be minus Judge and
: the Lunatlc Asylum six regents.
AN ALLEGED TRICK.
AS was predicted, the opponents OF the bill re.
. pealing the township act have struggled hard to
s4feyent Its passage. Yesterday the friends ofthe
bill called 1t up to receive s third reading but 1t
was not to be found. Considerable grumbling
ensued and the opponents were accused OF hay.
ing hid 1t to keep It back till Corbn's amendment
TO the township act could be passed; which accu-
sation was Indignantly denied. Last night Ar.
MIN introduced tht following preamble and reso-
lutlons, which where laid over for consideration
te-day:
Whereas, A bill to repeal IN act entitled "An
net TO organize townships and define their DOW
ers and privileges" has passed It's third reading
in the Senate, and being ordered to be engrossed;
and whereas the engrossinS clerk has delivered
Bill to % the Committee on % Engrossed n i. But sSe
therefore
subscribed by the members, before Almighty
nd this honorable Senate, that neither my.

act to organize townships" &c.
Iis morning the bill was found on the clerks
TX, having been laid there during the night
DRhe friends OF the bll who are also opposed to
the phosphate monopoly, were determined to
have their bill considered to-day II possible, and
thus prevent the consideration OF the other. They
manGuvred so well that nelth CT was considered.
TIE TAX LEVY
sThe concurrent resolution rroyldIng for tina
evying OF taxes to meet the expenditures for 1870
third reading. Leslie thought that Barnwel
County should have a levy OF four mills on tho
dollar, as q courthouse and jail was to be built
Donaldson moved to amend the resolution so as
to provide that only two mills on the dollar be
levied in all counties, excepting those specially
excepted. Corbin thought that amount was suf
fcient. especially for Charleston County, which
didn't wish to pay ALL or nearly all, OF the taxes
as II had been doing heretofore.
cHAnLIsTeN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
The mention Of Charleston County brought
Cain up all standing, ready and willing TO max.
speech, and he spoke ct length substantially
as follows: Two mills on the dollar will give sul
commissioners $loo,oos. think they can spent
that. believe that the more we give them III,
less work they Will do. Out Of h..''.' Of th,
stccples OF Charleston, they have done little o.
