tFRoM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENCE
CHARLESTON EXTENSION.

u.
living and farming outside OF the city limits OF
The City Of Charleston, respectfully petition your
honorable bLdy TO take our case into consluera-
ton, before you pass an act 50 detrimental TO our
interest, and to which every property .hcldcr and
farmer is SO diametrically opposed, as the bill
that has been acted upon by the Legislature: we
feel certain OF the wish of the inhabitants hau u
been known, they would have been respected, and
no such action would lave received the sanction
! Of that honorable body.
And as the bill is HOW before the Senate, we
hope your honorable body will take our petition
which does not embrace one-third OF the resi-
dents that are opposed 1t. The following names
comprise the largest portion of the property ewn-
ers embraced in the bill now before your honora-
BILE hody, and hope and trust you Will reject the
passage.
The Extension bill will probably be kicked out
of the Senate tomorrow. The members Of the
House almost unanimously voted for thIs'bill,
and seem very proud OF their bantlng, and OF
Furnishing all who do not look upon 1t SO favor
ably. Having heard that there was probability
Of the senators unceremoniously eiectlng 1t from
the portals Of the Senate chamber, into which II
was sent to be weaned, and to leave 1t full
grown, healthy child, they have intmated to the
senators that II such course be pursued tney
will initiate it and as unceremonously Kick out
of the House all matters sent from the senate.
These threats were intended to influence the
senators to vote for the "Extenslon bill but they
have had an entirely different effect from What
was intended. The senators are indignant, and
will probably vote almost unanimously against
it, The leading senator's assert that they despise
these threats, anu shall perfect and pass such
bills as they please and believe to be to the inter-
csts of tic people Of the State, and that the
House NAV take the responsibility of defeating
them; that there are q great many Of the mem-
bers OF the House who should not be returned,
and il they are allowed to pursue their own
course they will furnish the means by which
their election Will be defeated.
WILL TuENl Et A FIGHT
Tic feeling on tie part OF the senators and
members is intense, and this cit for tat" policy
will probably be carried out-no resolutions or
bills from the one body will be entertained by the
eth r. Perhaps there may he small sized row.
1t is proposed that if there be any danger OF
collision, the President Of the Senate, (Corbin)
and the Speaker OF the House, (Moses) be allowed
10 settle the affair for both bodies. But it Is
Ifurged by some that it would not be fair nght-
rs Corbn Is q heavy and Moses "lghs weight"
but 1t is urged on the other hand that Moses has
had the advantage Of serving "under two 1ags,"
(thc Confederate and the United States 1a2s-
Issuing rat ms under one and drawing stamps
under the other,) while Corbin only fought un der
ono. II the contest comes or Corbin vii; have to
.go under;" lie cannot possibly withstand the
onset OF an opponent armed with two "quarrcls
just" and neryed by the love Of two countries
and two colorS.
ASSOCIATE JUSTICE.
When tile Joint resolution TO meet In Joint as.
senlbly on Tuesday. the 18th instant, (tO-morrcw)
TO go into an election to Oil the vacancJ on the
Supreme bench, caused by the resignation OF
Judge Hoge, came into the Senate, it was refer.
rcd 10 the Judiciary Committee, one OF whom
tWright) was instructed by the committee to re-
port. To-day &c reported that the committee had
amended the resolution so as to provide for hold
ing an election for associate Justice on the 2btl
AS tho rcs, luton is amended, it. provides for the
election Of an associate justice hot to I'LL The va.
cancy caused by llocc's resignation, but to I'LL
the Office for the long term. COrbin, who Is
chairman of the Judiciary Committee, arose as
soon rs the report was read and stated that he
did not concur in il. as understand 1t, Wright Is
OF the opinion that the Governor should appoint
an associate justice to ill the vacancy. But it Is
asserted that the Governor has no power TO do SO
under tho constitution. The resolution wa> laid
over under the rules. When it comes upit Will be
amended SO rs to provide only for the llng OF
the vacancy.
When all election was first talked OF Judge Orr
and Whipper were the most prominently spoken
Of But since then report has been circulated
that Judge Orr had refused TO allow his name o
be used in that connection, whcreupon many OF
his supporters agreed to support Wright; since
which time he and Whipper only have been
thought OF for the place. The friends Of Whpper,
seeing that Wright would stand 4 fair chance Of
election, determined to remove him from the
field, and, If report be true, have Induced him to
leave, promising to reward him for this sacrifice
by electing him 10 the ofllce of LleutenantGover-
nor. Whether this report be true or not, have no
means or knowing but certain it is that now
whipper's name only is mentioned, and doubtless
he win step into Noge's shoes.
WHO WILL FE LIErTENANT-GOyERNoRf
According to the report above stated, Wright is
to be supported by some Of the Radicals for the
office OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, but his chances for
that position are very slight. The general im-
preston is that Scott and Frank Moses, Jr., are
to be the candidates OF the Republican party in
the coming campaign for the Offices OF Governor
and Lieutenant. Governor; that after they are
elected Scott will bc sent to the United States
Senate, and Moses will become Governor, oil
course. Now, this was nice little plan, but the
ambition of parental relative Of one OF tho par
Ties will probably cause 1t to "gang aslee." Chel
Justice Moses has, as asserted, desire 10 cass
OH his judicial robes and become senator from
South Carolina. How to crafty this very natnri.'
desire Of the chief justice and at the same time
carry out the plan mentioned, Is the veNed ques-
tun ainn,Ig the Radicals. Some Of them, how
ever, propose to settle 1t by electlng Scott and
Noses to the oflccs referred 10, let them retuin
them, and send the chief justice to the Senate.
