Charleston Election Bill.
rRRoM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT

COLUMBIA, December 8.
The animals have tasted blood! The red
nag has beer shaken In their eyes, and they are
nov prepared and ready for devouring. Mr..
Robertson, with the aid Of Governor Scott has in
augurated this year the reign OF bribery. 1t is
now safe to say that no measure OF importan ce to
the State, or otherwise, will be passed this ses-
sion without money. We hear, in the know Ing
circles, that forty thousand dollars was used by
Robertson to secure his own election. The price
OF votes was five hundred dollars apiece for the
rank and file, and for some OF the more influential
as high as two thousand was paid.
Every one is "nushn to-day, and money can be
borrowed easily.
The election for associate justice will most like
y not be postponed for 1t will be desrous to have
it follow on the wake Of the senatorial election as
closely as possible before the brutes clamor
again for money.

1tappears, from diplomatic correspondence,
that, on the 1lth OF August, Minister Motley tele
graphed the following to Secretary Fish:
'It is an authentic fact that the French Gov.
ernment telegraphed to London, yesterday, to
know II General Lee is here, or whether he is ei'
pected The supposltioa Is that military com
mand Is to be offered to him. I am nc: aware
that General Lee Is In London, or that he is ex'
pected. The fact, however, that the French Gov

tance Of military talent from so distant quarter
would seem to argue some want OF confidence In
the government OF their armies.''

BUTLER's DIsABLLITY BILL.
WASHINGTON. December

WASHINGTON, December 9.
The Tribune says, ed!torially: "a general
amnesty bill, such as General Butler is to submit
to the House, with an endless list OF exceptions,
is not what the country Will be content with, OF
what the political situation demands. The truth
Is that the bill s misuomer, for 1t grants pardon
to few not already practically exempted from
their disabilities. Itis precisely the same meas.
ure which WAS laid over OF the last session.
Though the committee does not appear to have
been educated to broader appreciation Of its
duty in the matter, public sentiment has In the
meantime advanced In uoerality. The present
bill will not do, and we trust that before 1t Is
adopted, the House, which we are told evinces
comprehensive common sense on the question,

TIE ACADEMY OF MusIc--Lurline drew a
good house to the Academy last evening, and the
Blondes discoursed the usual amount Of song and
dance and grotesque posturing to the immense
delight OF the audience. Miss Weber acted 'Ru'
pert" with her wonted spirit and abandon, and
was almost Invariably encored.
Mr.. Atkins was as superhumanly elastic ai
ever, and Miss Hattie O'Neal looked her gallant
part to perfection.
''The MILDLY Ashore" which opened the per
formance, brought out the comic strength OF the
company to great advantage and afforded an
opportunity for Mr.. Ketchum to present very
clever and thorough impersonation OF an out and
out tar. which was well received.
The troupe give two more performances, ut p
H. to-day and the usual hour this evening.
