| in running order about the time the new talked
OF opera house and hotel are thrown open to the
public The Radical officials whose names figure
most prominently in these enterprises have
plenty of money, that is, if buying up nne lots
and erecting elegant buildings be taken as evi-
dences; but whether they intend going to work,
or have introduced this bill, as they have others,
for mere speculation, is veXed question. Most
persons think that il they do mean work, they
will not begin operations until after the next elec-
tion.
WHAT MEMBERS THINK OF ONE ANOTHER.
In the House, to-day, there was under discus
sion for a considerable time a joint resolution
from the Senate, providing that the free-school
teachers be paid at the rate OF five cents per day
for each scholar in attendance 1t having been
stated that some OF the aforesaid teachers had
sent in bills claiming pay at the rate Of one hun
dred and fifty scholars per day; and Tomlinson,
doubtless knowing OF this, moved that the reso-
luton be SO amended as TO provide that the
claims should not exceed more than forty dollars
q month. Bozemon stated that there were
| plenty Of male teachers North who w,uld
gladly come and teach for three hundred
dollars year. Yes, said DeLarge and there are
plenty OF men who would be willing to come and
do your work in this House for three dollars a
day-and do it better too. Perrin, colored, eX-
pressed willingness to do the teachers work
for thirty dollars month; to which DeLarge re-
piled: By gracious, you are not worth ten dollars
a month; you never got more than five before this
time. Burrell James thought forty dollars q
| month sufficient for teachers, and DeLarge
thought that the State would save money by pay
ing him James forty dollars a month to stay
away from the House. At this point some one
yelled to DeLarge, aud asked him what female
teachers claim he was advocating.
THE COLUMBIA CANAL.
1t will be remembered that, previous to the re-
cess, a bill to amend the act authorizing the sale
OF the Columbia Canal passed the Senate, was
sent to the House and referred to committee, OF
which Joseph Crews is chairman. 1t has not
heen reported upon yet. The bill gave the pur-
chasers the power to widen the canal Its full
length and it Is stated that they are prepared to
commence work on the first OF March, as the
provisions OF the bill obgates them to do. 1t Is
asserted that citizens irrespective OF party, have
called upon Crews and urged him to report, and
have requested the representatives OF Rlchland to
| use their influence to make the committee act in
the premises, but it has not been heard from.
would suggest TO Joseph Crews that he devote
little less time to brokerage and more to the com.
mittee room, and produce that bill with report
upon 1t. The Columbia people are talking about
you, Joseph, and if you Wish to preserve Your
spotless reputation from even the suspicion of a
blemish, dive into your pockets and fish up that
bill.
PUBLICATION OF LEGAL NOTICES.
In the Senate, to-day, was adopted favorable
report Of the Judiciary Committee upon House
"bill to regulate the publication OF all legal
and public notices." The bill received q second
reading and was ordered to be engrosscd for

time, as they may Judge that the public interest
requires; that all State and county officers shall
furnish to such designated papers all documents
intended for publication, and, unless published In
them, they shall have no valid force or effect
Swas, Rainey and Nash made speeches
upon the bill, intimating that they knew
that the object OF it was to place the
pap in the hands OF the papers friendly
to the State Governments; but they did not see
how it would work. as many people never would
see those papers, Nash said there were only two
of these papers. they were In Charleston,) and
hundreds Of people in Richland would never see
them. A law might be passed compelling the
people to read them, but then they would not do
it. bill of the same kind was passed last ses-
sion; the Governor vetoed it; the senators ac-
cepted the veto, adjourned and bolted for home
by the nearest cut as il ashamed 10 look any one
in the face afterward.
Swas, OF Williamsburg, said that his county
paper was q "rip-roarer,' and then proceeded
to show how it charged more for legal than for
other advertisements. a paper published in this
section of the county was mentioned. Nash said
he hadn't seen copy, but he knew the editor
| of it; they had graduated at the South Carolina

Rainey asked him why lie had not become an
editor too; to which Nash replied, that hc hadn't
sunk so low as that yet
