COLUMBIA, S. @, November ~.
Th-re was no session OF the General Assem-
bly, to-day. The morning and evening trains car:
ried away their complement OF passengers, 30
that the city seems comparatively deserted. To-
day beipg Thanksgiving day. the. stores on Main
street were generally closed-a rather Strange
thing when one remembers that for the memory
Of General Lee but two or three made such an
observance There was as much and perhaps
more business done, though, than usually; for II
the shutters remained up in compliance with
Grants proclamation, the doors were certainly
sll open In non -compliancs CO With scotrs proclama
tion. No religious services that we are aware OF.
were he'd. fsg ;, r..--s:.
eaucases seemed the programme for the day
With the politicians. ,s--Ss.:''-
THE SENATORIAL CONTEST.
Ma.tersiare beginning to culmlnate, and this
morning we have the announcement that Eeagle
has sold out-beg pardon we mean backed out.
whether or no this was an unexpected move,
we don't af1rm; but judging from Its quiet re-
csption, the conclusion would be that 1t ls not.
Towhom Neagle viii transfer his votes 1t Is hard
to tell; some say to Robertson, OILERS to Cardozo.
II the recent breach between the DeLarge party,
(which Included Neagle,) and Csrdozo has not
been closed up, the latter will be In the vocatiVe,
ss far as votes arc concerned.
Chief Justice Mosess name is freely used.
Should his friends succeed, twill be only through
sliiful manauvring and hard work 1t IL rather
late In the day for new candidates to hope for
success.
We,spIne that Chamberlain is doing some hard
WORK. II 1.-THE OF the labor expended by him
during the recent canvass, to prove that the
works Of this administration were good and just,
is now used, the result must prove success. But
we fear that, Samson like, he has been shorn Of
his strength. Not to be personal. but for want Of
more expressive phrase, we say that ne looks
edown in the gtls.n
Every vote eounts, Of course. Mr. Rainey an
tcipssed casting one much in the style Of Whit
temore, who really iplaglIed he could ho'd seat
In. our State 'saacte aud the United States Con-
gress at the same TINE; but he was disabused OF
the Idea. R.1uey hos decided to attend to pre-
pairing for his Coming Journey to Washington
It would be too cruel, not that Whittemore and
Rsney are sue, good litsle boys, to soy anything
about tho 'aivery'of herver" or the miraculous
delivery Of Don Roaerigues and Aphonso, SO we
won't
THE NEXT STATE PRINTER.
"Printers,n mayhap, We should say, for it Is
very doubtful II any one man will have the con-
troll Of the printing this session BY rule Of the
Senate the CLERK Is instructed to make nomical
arrangements for the public printing. Unless
change is made, the arran9. lent will continne.
Mr. Woodruff Is 3 good orricer, and 1t would be
saving tothe State to allow him to give out the
printing.
The commorant clique seem to have sudden
cramp about the epi2astriuln. Last night they
were bold with the assertion that they would
show up, through their Journal the entire work
ings OF the administration II the pearl was not
thrown;before them. 1t is said geese cackled and
saved Rome.
Mr.. Denny has added another story to his ONCE
and is making very extensive alterations and ad-
iitions, He Is Interested we learn, about equally
in each Of tue following firms, who are all osten-
sibly lighting each other: Denny and Morris,
Norris and Carpenter, and Denny and Carpenter.
The whole thing appears like "forn" Knocked
into blessed "pI," and the apprentices standing
around with their elbows in the ink cans and
their thumbs In their mouths.
NEW STREET IN COLUMBIA.
On one OF the street lamps near the capitol may
be seen the sign "West 18th street." 1T might be
suggested that other streets be designated IN
similar manner.) Whether this hll herto unknown
street has sprung upin connection with some
anticipated change iu the City limits; whether the
lower part Of the City Is TO be called Severus City
in honor OF our Emperor; or whether this locality
takes its name from its immediate connection
with the Fifteenth Amendment, we have not
learned It is stated that it is carpet bag hump,
and like some other recent importatioRs, no one
has washed It's face for ii. Can't the uncommon
council inform nsf
PAY DAY AND TIE BODY ,GUARR.
Hubbard's ONCE was the resort to-day OF large
numbers Of constables, who have been waiting
some time to obtain their back pay. 1t seems that
many were called, but few were chosen. Now
that the election Is over. and ship Of State ID
reeled over on the sands OF peace, to remain
anolaer TWO years, those Innocent and deluded
victims ormisplaced confidence, who have risked
their hides, not their lives, as they thought, to
secure senator this Or Hona that fat place, nnd
