THE UNITED STATES CoUsTHousE
| And postofIice in Columbla-a subject which has
been creating considerable excitement among
| the people here-may be considered as located at
the corner of Laurel and Richardson streets. The
bill to grant and give the consent OF the Legisla-
ture Of this State to the conveyance to the United
states OF the lot Of land situate on Richardson
and Laurel streets, in the City OF Columbia, Tor
the purpose OF posto1ice and courthouse, or for
other purposes, and to cede to the United States
jurisdiction therein, was favorably reported upon
BY the Senate Judiciary Committee this morning,
and, under suspension OF the rules, was passed,
despite the announcement that there were petit
tions In circulation signed by nearly al-certain-
| ly all Of the prominent citizens - protesting
against having the proposed building located at
| the corner OF Laurel and Richardson streets,
which Is entirely 'out OF the way" to the busl-
ness men, whose interests should have been con-
suited in preference to "a few men," who, as
stated in the Senate, had put their heads tOgeth-
er bought land in the vicinity ofthe said corner,
and then offered o small portion TO the United
States.
NO FIGHT
THE News has already limited at prospect OF
| war between the Senate and House, because OF
O disagreement regarding the authorization OF
| the Governor to purchase certain number OF
Richardson's Reports The fear that the members
, OF the House had Of Corbin taking possession OF
all OF their oflces by r. flank movement, mas oper-
ated SO strongly as to induce them to sue Tor
peace, as they did to-day, by sending respect
| full request to the Honorable Senate" to return
their message OF non-concurrence In the resolu-
ton OF the Honorable senate, to purchase Rich
! ardson's Reports. AS this message will be con-
sldered sufnciently submissive by the Senate,
there is no prospect OF war between the "honor-
able bodies,n and instead Of artillery and musset
reports, there will be nothing but Richardson's
Reports, which to the members OF the honorable
bodes,n have about as much bore in them as the
weapons alluded to.
PER DIEX HUNGRY.
Green introduced In the Senate today bill to
make an appropriation for the per diem and
mileage Of the members, salaries OF the officers,
and incidental expenses. There was no opposl-
ton to its introduction, and the smiling faces
which its lrst reading produced clearly evmeed
that it was very acceptable bill.
ANOTHER STRENGTHENING DOSE.
To Judge from the numerous strengthening
doses which have been administered, and are
being prepared for administering, to build up the
State credit its constitution must be out Of order,
and its friends, Kimpton, Scott Co., in great
anxiety about its condition. "a bill to pay the
principal and interest OF the bonds and stocks OF
the State in con;" another, "to better protect
the holders Of insurance policies in the State"
are now in the hands OF the druggists, otherwise
known as the General Assembly" receiving
their sugar coatings preparatory to their being
administered; and If any one were to
Judge from the haste in which they have
| been manipulated, and the apparent anxiety
OF one or two interested parties. he
would decide that the patient, which it is presum-
ed they will benefit, is in fair way TO go into
relapse If not into collapse Az it is, these little
pills are not considered sufficient, and notice has
been given that the materials foranother one will
