whole number Of votes given, was elected as
the choice of the House of Representatives,
and the proceedings would be read in Joint
Assembly tomorrow at II NJ, and the result
declared.
THE TALE OF A DUE BILL.
The Patterson men were naturally jubilant
over this result, and sported champagne and
segars in due proportion to the magnitude OF
their visitors, but the sequel showed that the
opposition had not yet given up the struggle.
About dusk this evening constable astonish-
ed the new United States Senator by produ.
cling warrant for his arrest on charge OF
attempting to bribe member of the Legisla-
ture, and profered a modest request that he
would accompany him, the said constable, to
the Office of the Hon. R. H. Kirk, a Trial
Justice in and for, and 80 forth. The war
rant was based upon the following affidavit:
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COUNTY OF R1cHLAND
Personally appeared before me, r. II. Kirk,
Trial Justice in and for said county and State, NJ.
s. Miller, of Fairfield county, member to the South
Carolina Legislature, who upon oath deposes and
says, that at Columbia, s. c., on three different
occasions, in the month of November, 1877, one
John J. Patterson, Of said county and State, did
offer and deliver to me money, amounting in the
aggregate to sixtyfve dollars, (S65) for which ne
now holds due bill signed by me, and which
money is now in the hands of Trial Justice K. Il.
Kirk of said county and State.
Deponent further states that this money was
given him in part payment and in consideration
Of deponents casting his vote for the said John j.
Patterson, on Tuesday next at the election by
the Legislature Of which deponent is member,
the said Patterson being candidate for the Uni
ted States Senate.
Deponent further states, that the said John j.
Patterson told him that if he would 80 cast his
VOTE the said due bill would be returned to him,
and regarded as q cancellation of said claim.

bia S. c., this 7th day of December, 1872.

Nothing dismayed by this proceeding, Pat
terson proceeded to the Trial Justices Office,
little shanty in back street, and stated his
readiness to give bond for his appearance or

dence subsequently produced, it appears that

WE have received life e.sized por-
trait, wood-cut on yellow paper, Of
Thomas s. Davies Of New York city, a
self-nominated candidate for the presi-
dency. The picture is accompanied
with an oath and pledges" by which
the candidate promises purity, honesty
and faithfulness in Office. Mr.. Davies
is rather good looking gentleman, with
a fue eye, and hair combed up straight
from his forehead something after the
style of the pictures Of Clay and Lin
con, but it is scarcely probable that he
will ever brush it up after that fashion
as the presidential occupant Of the
white house. Mr.. Davies should con
tinuc in the shades Of private life for ,
while longer, and ponder on two thing
one of which is to consider the pro
priety Of waiting for the presidency Of
the United States until one or more
prisons suggests his fitness for it, and
the other that oaths and pledges are a
small part of real honesty.

ANEW ANAESTEHTlC-. -..HYDRAMYL

From the Baltimore American, F,b. H.
DIR. Richardson, of London, has been in
vestigaiing n new auesthetic, to which he
has given the name of hydramyt. An ac-
count of his experiments is given in "The
dalf-yearly Compendium of Medical Sci
ence, Part TX" Uust published,) which
will be found interesting reading even to
those who never expect TO undergo any
more painful surgical operation than the
dislodging Of a tooth or the lancing Of a
boil. DIR. Richardson was in the habit of
using a mixture Of amyl hydrde and recti.
Hed ether to produce sn@sthesiR; that
IS by freezing the spot through which
the incision is to be made, by the rapid
evaporation of the volatile substance spur
ted upon it in the form Of spray. He no.
tced that when the spray was used for an
operation about the nose or mouth the
patient often passed into state of general
Insensibility 10 pain. The sleep produce d
was so gentle, so deep, and yet 50 temper
ary, that DIR. Richardson rightly supposed
that he was on the track of most valuable
discovery. He forthwith began series
Of experiments in order to ascertain wheth.
rr it was the vapor Of the ether or Of by.
bride which produced the insensibilty, and
It was not long TIL he assured himself
that it WAS the latter. When inhaled i,
created no irritation, induced perfect in.
sensib'lity to pain, and the recovery from
ITS influence was singulsrly rapid. The
most interesting fact connected with the
inhalation of this gas is, that in many in
stances 1t induces perfect insensibility to
pain, and leaves the consciousness COM
paratively unimpaired.
DIR. Richardson has also been expert
meniing with methylic ether. In several
cases the patients although quite insensible
to pain, were able to obey every request
made of them, and some Of them kept in
listing that they were not yet ready for
the operation, because they were entirely
conscious, whereas the cutting was going
on all the time and they felt 1t not. One
lady took the anesthstic and then pointed
out successively the teeth which she wish
ed I, have extracted, adjusting herself in
the chair after each tooth was drawn, and
yet felt no pain whatever. From this and
| other cases which came under his notice
the doctor very fairly assumes that ain the
course of time we.shall discover manages
ele and certain anethetic substances which
will paralyze sensation only, leaving the
muscular power unaltered and mental
tile disturbed" .H

THE REPORT of the investigating

THE REPORT Of the investigating
committee Of the Kansas Legislature
appointed to examine into the charges
Of bribery against Senator's Pomeroy
aad Caldwell, accused of buying the
votes Of the Kansas Legislature which
gave them their seats in the United
States Senate, is published. 1t proves
conclusively that the two radical sena.
tors spent large sums Of money,
and received in exchange for i,
their seats in the Senate. This expose
Of the part Pomeroy took in securing
his election, in connection with his
course on the impeachment trial of
President johnson, when he offered to
sell his vote for $40, 1000, will be apt to
destroy public confidence, slightly, in
his rectitude, and will interfere, so far
as honest men are concerned, with any
political schemes he may have had fol
the future. Pomeroy should have
learned in his younger days that homes
ty is the best policy, as we'll in politi.
cal as in any other sense.

Saturday evening. The play to be per-
formed is THE Mother of the Regi-
ment, and if the previous representa-

that go there to see the play will be most
highly entertained. The usual social
dance after the theatrical perform ance is
always largely enjoyed and will add con

that enterprising society.
