COLUMBIA, s. c., February 1.-THE exotic
;..cr! among she members OF the General AS
semby, induced by the veto message of the
Governor, for the past day or two has been in
tense. There was much larger attenda nee
in both houses than usual. Much bitter feel
ing against the Governor has been expressed
at what was regarded diroct insu 1t, by the
allusion made in tho message to the lobbying
influence brought to bear III the passage of
the Greenville and Columbia Railroad bin.
The friends Of the veto regarded this
as an unfortunate feature, tending to
unnecessary irritation and Of doubtful
propriety. 1t afforded o strong lever to
the opponents Of the veto to work
upon the minds Of many who were yet undo
cidedas to their course. This feeling, it is be-
heved, was intensified by q rumor that the
Governor had signed petition to Congress
recommending the removal OF tho political
disabilities of lion. J. 2. Reed and Hon. w. D.
Simpson, the two Democratic members elect
to Congress. Hence when the vote was taken
this morning the result was overwhelming nj
favor Of the passage Of the act. Before the
House met, however, such result was not
unlocked for, but hardly by such large ma
jor1ty.
The proceedings in the House we're opened
by tho reading OF the following MESSAGE from
the Senate:
