AN EXTRA SESSION are GLAD to
know (says the Beaufort Republican, of
the 10th instant) that Senator Smalls re-
fuses to be party to the last thieving
scheme started in Oolumbia, in the onll
for an extra session of the Legislature.
He knows that there is nothing known
now of the financial condition of the
state, which was unknown at any time
from the beginning to the end of the
late session OF the General Assembly.
What do the movers in this iniuuity
want? Do they want more pay certifi-
Gates? Or do they want another "rake"
on the validating bill? We should think
that one session year was enough for
men, some of whom have orders to the
amount OF $4,000 for legislative ex-
penses, earned by members of their
families, as clerks, porters. solicitors and
short hand reporters. These are the
members, too. who want to impeach
Parker. They want to lead Reform
party" We first tell them that thew
must first pluck the beam from their own
eyes. before complaining of the mote in
anothers'. The people are determined
upon reform, but they will commence at
the foundation of all expense-tho Legis-
lature.

peril had prepared all minds to expect
the worst. Vesuvius gave, in various
ways. sufficient OCCASION for increased
alarm. The booming and the rumbling

The smoke rising from the crater was

in the lava, for they we're confined to no
