Fashionable Woman's PRAYER.

Strengthen mi husband, and may hiz
faith and hiz money hold out to the last.
Draw the lamps wool of unsuspicious
twilight over hiz eyes, that mi firtations
may look to him like victorys, and that
mi bills may strengthen hiz pride in me.
Bless, o Fortune, mi krimps, rats and
frizzles, and let this glory shine on my
paint and powder.
When walk out before the gaze Of
vulgar men, regulate mi wiggle, and add
grace to mi CATERS.
When bow mself in worship, grant
that may do it with ravishng elegance,
and preserve unto the last the lily white
of mi flesh and the taper of mi fingers.
Destroy mine enemies with the gaul ov
jealousy, and eat thou up with the teeth
ov envy all thoze who gaze at mi style.
Save me from wrinkles, and foster mi
plumpness.
Fill mi both eyes, Oh Fortune with
the plaintive pizon of nfatuashon, that i
may lay out mi victims, the men, as
knump as images craven.
Let the lilly and the rose strive together
on mi cheek, and may mi neck swim like
a goose on the buzzum of krystal waters.
Enable me, Oh, Fortune to wear shoes
still little smaller, and save me from all
korns and bunyons.
Bless Fanny, mi lap dog, and rain down
bezoms of destrucshun upon those who
would hurt hair of Hector, mi kitten.
Smile, on Fortune! most sweetly upon
Dick, mi kanary, and watch over, with
the fondness of a mother, mi two lily
white mice with red eyes
Enable the poor to shirk for themselves,
and save me from all missionary beSgars.
Shed the light of thi countenance on
mi kammels hair shawl; countenance on
mi point lace and mi neclace of diamonds,
and keep the moths out ov mi sable, i
beseech thee, Oh, Fortune!

COLUMBIA, s. c., December 4.
A large number Of bills were introduced to-
day in beth branches of the Legislature. These
were aimed directly at the Governor and State
treasurer. Among the new bulls are: Bill to
obtain the sterling bonds now in New York
and put them in the hands Of the Secretary Of
State; bill to repeal the act authorizing the
Governor in certain cases to leave the State;
bill to require that all unsigned bonds In the
treasury be placed In the custody Of the secre-
tary of State, to be cancelled by him; bill to
obtain from the treasurer full exhibit Of all
moneys paid out since September last.
The Governors message was referred by the
Senate to appropriate committees.
The Senate refused to concur In the. House
resolution requiring the Whittemore-Bowe
investigating committee to report on Thurs
day.
The election of circuit judges and of asso-
ci1le justices of the Supreme Court is ordered
to take place on the 18th instant, but the time
will probably be postponed by the action Of
the House tomorrow. PICKET.

mittee.
rFrom the New YORK Bullet,n.l

We shall not venture to PREJUDICE the ac-
counts of the financial agent, but that he
should control such an enormous amount Of
bonds, and that nothing should be known at
the State treasury respecting the nature Of
his operations, the condition Of his accounts,
or the extent to which he has involved the
credit of the State, Is q matter which, to say
the least, demands the promptest remedy.
Mr. Ktmpton's promised statement should not
be delayed one day, nor do we see why 1t need
be; and 1t is due to himself that he should in.
vlte, at once, fall examination Of
coulpand public confidence. The pub
lie very properly ask, how Is 1t that
the State authorities know, or profess to
know, 80 little OF the operations Of the New
York agency, when all the debt operations
have been conducted through 1t? There Is
either gross neglect or something worse in
this apparent ignorance; and the public can
only be expected to discredit the State officials
until the mystery Is cleared up and everything
told If people distrust the government, and,
as Governor Scott complains, the press has
protested and the people have begun to NUT
ter the foul word "repudiation, what wonder,
when the most extraordinary Irregularities
are Wrapt up in profound secrecy? Until the
Governor gives the public a full and fair
statement Of everything. he can only expect
to be dstrusted, and all who hold positions Of
financial trust under him.

versions, have been used as collateral for

Thus the committee suggest grave doubt
that not only has the sinking fund been divert

have been re!ssued. What have the State
officials to say to these imputatlons' How
long do they suppose the bondholders and tax
payers will keep their patience under the dark

COLUMBIA, December 4.
The United States Circuit Court met to-day
in the State Library, in the capitol building.
The Hon. Mr.. Stanberry, for the defence,
moved to quash the indictment against Cros-
By and others. The grounds of the motion
were: That the name Of the person injured
was rot mentioned 10 the indictment; that
only three of the qualifications of voter
were named; that the grand jury had come to
q conclusion as to the law, instead of as to
the facts; that voters received their qualiaca-
tons under the State laws only; that the In
dlctment was defective In stating the
deprivation of the right to vote as taking
place at future date; that the United States
Constitution aHd laws do not secure to any
citizen the right to vote; that the burglary
coun9in the indictment was defective as
being stated to be against the "dignity Of
the State of South Carolina" instead Of
against the ''dignlty of the United States;"
that the fifteenth constitutional amend
ment does not secure to colored persons the
right to vote except as subject to the State
laws; thai the Indictment is not specific in
stating mere intimidation; that the State
Courts snd not the United States Courts must
redress personal grievances, such as security
from search, &C.; that it was not shown in
ihe indictment that A. 8. Wallace was a law
fully qualified candidate.
&r. stanberry supported his objections in an
elaborate argument Of two hours length. A
large number of lawyers were present and
many spectators.
Mr.. Corbin, for the government, asked for
time to reply, and he was given until to-mor.
row at 10 A. NJ, to which hour the court ad-
journed. - PICKET.
