How we apples swim
DeLarge reported to-day bill fixing the pay
and mileage OF the members Of the next Gene
raj Assembly at the same rate as that estab-
lIshed for the present Legislature. This Is very
considerate. IN view of the fact that the can-
didates of the Citizens party vii! be in the ma
jority in the next Legislature, respectfully
suggest that the per diem be reduced to three
dollars aud the mileage to five cents. The
new members will come here for the good of
the State, not to make money, and three dol
lars day ought to be enough for them.
In the Senate to-day, the Civil Rights or So
cial Equality bill was taken up and discussed.
The discussion, although brief, cliclted the fact
that the colored members will insist on the
passage of the bill as it came from the House,
and will, ifthcy can, vote down all the amend
ments proposed in the report of the Judiciary
Committee. They may consent to lower the
penalties for violations Of the law, but they
will 20 no further. Without further action the
bill was postponed TO tomorrow, when it will
come up as unfinished business, and 'pull
dick, pull devil" fight may be expected.
1t is reported that at the meeting of the Re-
publican State Central Committee, to be held
on the 29th, resolutions will be introduced re-
pudiating Whittemorc, and reading him out Of
the party.
T.J Mackey left Columbia in high dudgeon
because the House would not adjourn in time,
last night, to allow him to blow off steam, and
get rid Of load of gas.
C. P. Leslie, senator and land commissioner,
is considering the propricty of resigning the
position of land commissioner. The new
land bill, with Its half million appropriation,
rather ties the hands of Leslie, who insists
upon being treated as above suspicion. Should
Leslie resign, the copper colored Cesar"
DeLarge, will be elected, or he will kick the
House and Senate into the famous "Cauawl."
