COLUMBIA, 8. c., December IS.
The various d~isagreements which have
sprung up between the two branches Of the Gen.
eraIAssau biys upon Gel lain questions OF finance
and expenses. appear to be getting chronic, and
the formula OF committees OF conference, reports
OF disagreements, committees OF free confere CO,
dc, IL becoming irregular incident Of each days
proceedings. One or two Of these disagreements
were disposed OF to-day. however, as follows:
Il win be remembered that when the General
Assembly adopted the House resolution for a
three veeks' recess, the Senate tackled on an
amsndment to the effect thai the attaches were
fused 10 concur, and the Senate refused to re-
tract; one G1.,S son ,pas zee 81 s sSals,e aTeh VIC to 1 EePract.
INT the Senate still refused. A committee or
free conference was then appo!Rted, aud TINS
committee failed to agree at all. and 30 reported
this morning. This exhausted the formula OF
conferences, and no. agreement having been
enected thereby, the amendment was lost under
the operation or the fourth joint rule OF the Gen.

De Tse general tax levy bill came back to the
House this morning, with the Senate amendment
providing for the auditing OF deficiency claims
By 6 committee OF the Assembly, and the House
refused to concurin the amendment. A message
to that effect being sent 70 the Senate, the Senate

pointeds committee Of conference. The whole
formula will therefore, have to be gone through
with Tomorrow, but IL Is mot probable that IL
Will result, as. In the case OF the attaches, In 9
to establish an auditing board win fail.
A similar trouble exists In regard to the bill to
make an appropriation sor the immediate pay
ment Of part OF me salaries OF t me- members; "a Al
elOo, 600 for the pay ment OF nall the salaries, or
1900 to each member, and The incidental expenses,
but the H.use proposes 10 amend oy appr % ,ho
salaries, and by leaving out the Incidental ex-
penses. The Conservative members or the Senate
saw through this little Arrangement, which
although proIessing to be 8 measure or refench-
ment really appropriates more In proportion than
the original proposition and Yesterday refused
Tn concnr In the amendment. The House today
Insisted upon It's amenanent, ana tne Sens.e EN- M
