MEN AND TO MORE CLEARLY DEFINE THE MAN
NER OF HOLDING SAID ELECTION. ltie
Whereas, The General Assembly did, on the
25th day of September, 1868, pass an act au-
thorizipg the holding Of an election for Mayor
and Aldermen in the City Of Charleston on the
cited act; and, whereas, it does appear that
much fraud was practiced in conducting said
election, to tho detriment OF the interests of all
the citizens Of the said city and Of the free ex-
preston Of the will of the people; and whereas,
the Mayor and Council, who were made Judges
of the result by the aforesaid act, have declar-
ed that the same is null and void by virtue of
the frauds and noncompliance of the parties
acting as officers in said election; therefore,
Be IL enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives now met and sitting in Gene
raj Assembly and by the authority Of the
same: -
SEoT1oN 1. That there shall be ordered
| another election IN the City OF Charleston un-
der the provisions OF the act Of this General
Assembly, passed 25th day OF September, 1868,
and the said election shall be conducted in the
same manner as therein prescribed, except that
the final decision and proclamation OF the re-
suit snail be made by the Acting Board OF
aegsers na and ~ ManaSers w Elections uuder
Sec. 2. This act shall take effect Immediately
after its passage, and said election shall take
place within thirty days after the passage Of

SEQ. 8. All acts and parts OF acts inconsist-
ent with this be, and the same are hereby re-
| pealed.
A very lively and interesting debate took
place in the Senate yesterday and to-day on
the bill providing for the codifcation Of the
statute laws OF the State.
| Jackson introduced into the House, to-
day, ablll to alter and amend an act to quiet
lights vested 1nder military orders. This re-
peals the third section Of the act which vail.
dates the special order Of General Candy. The
effect of the passage OF the bill would be to
declare the Mayoralty and Aldermanic Board OF

custer is aszonnt tobe antecedentt to the seating

Proceedings OF Thursday.
COLUMBIA, 8. O., February 4.--THE SENATE
to-day was crowded with visitors in expecta.
| ton Of hearing the discussion on the Charles.
ton election case. Some little preliminary
business was transacted, and at P. M. the
special order, being the bill to confrm and de.
clare valid the recent election of Mayor and
Aldermen of the City Of Charleston, was call
ed up.
Mr.. Leslie moved that the special order be
discharged and made the special order for
Tuesday next, at P. M. s .
Mr.IAllen rose to oppose the motion of the
senator from Barnwell. He said he was m
willing to be treated any longer with the utter
contempt exhibited by the Acting Mayor and
Aldermen Of the City Of Charleston, in their
regard for the laws passed by the General AS
sembly. He said that if tbs, gentlemen of the
Legislature were willing to be trampled upon
by those men, then the bill should be postpon-
ed; but if they intend to assert their rights as
legislators, they would bring the matter to an
issue at once and decide it promptly.
Maxwell hoped the motion to POSTPONE would
not prevail as repeated discussions of the
same subject were injurious to the interests OF
tho State. He hoped if senators were not in
pone its consideration. ,
Nash said he remembered that some years
age, in 1850 he believed, Robert Barnwe4l said,
on certain occasion in the Congress Of the
United States, i some bill passed he was going
