current expenses of the Assembly during that
period. The lower house on Thursday adopt
ed q concurrent resolution providing for a re-
cess from December 20Ih to January 10th,
the argument nsed to excuse so long a Vaca-
ton being that no extra expense would be In
CURED by the State, lnasmuch as the members
are now paid by the year Instead of by the day.
The Senate, however, abridged the recess oy
fixing the day of reassembllng at January 9TH,
and also added q provlso to the effect THAT
no att8che or subordinate officer rec, 3 any
pay during the recess" The House ther eupon
agreed 10 the amendment 10 alter the date OF
reassembling, but emphatically refused to
concur In the proviso which sought to dock
the wages oflhe attaches. The resolution was,
therefore, returned to the Senate without the
proviso. but the Senate has since, by q large
vote, insisted upon the provision, and the
probability Is that the House will be obliged
to give In and concur in the proviso, which
will effect a saving 10 the State of about $500 o
day.
The House yesterday took final action upon
five bills of some importance, which were
read the third time and sent to the Senate.
These were the tax bill authorizing q levy Of
fifteen mills for State and county purposes;
the bill to prevent county commissioners from
being interested in contracts given out by
them; the bill to provide for the payment OF
the salaries OF members In one amount at the
end OF each regular session; the Dill 10 repeal
the State license law, and the bill to extend
the time for the recording of real estate trans.
fers from thlrty-lhree days to three months.
The first of these bills was to-day referred by
the Senate to the committee on finance, and
will probably be favorably reported and passed.
The others were referred to appropriate COM
mlttees In the Senate to-day, and will all pro-
badly pass without material alterations, ex.
cept In the case of the bill to repeal the State
license law, which, 1t is understood, Is to be 30
amended as not to take effect until the Let of
April, 1873. PICKET.

A Lady Burned to Death.

The Macon Telegraph says Mrs. Matilda
Hernandez, a widow lady living In East
Macon, was burned to death about four o'clock
Wednesday afternoon. The circumstances
are about as follows: MIS-. Hernandez was left
at home alone by her daughter, who had zone
to make a visit to some OF her nelghbors. The
when she returned she found her mother dead
having been burned to death. How she
caught fire cannot be known, though 1t is
supposed that she bad o fit aHd fell forward
into the fire, though she is not known to have
been subject to fits OF any kind. When found
her clothes were nearly all burned Oh Of her,
aud her face and all the upper portion Of her
body were literally roasted to q black, hard
crisp. Her stomach was all burned until her
bowels protruded, and her hands and arms
burned until they were shapeless. In the

What the Press Think Of Him.
From the Richmond Dispatch.I

What q commentary upon the Improvement
of the South. Was ever such q thing as the
Imprisonment of a man for bribery, just elect
ed United States senator heard of In South
Carolina or any other State before the war i!
And how Is 1t that this ''thrifty and unscrupu-
lous Pennsylvania" shall be made a repre-
sentative of the proud State Of South Carolina
while her W capable and tried aud honest
sons are banished into private life and denied
all participation In their government !? De-
pend upon it that facts like these must damn
the government through whose mlsrule they
have existence.
From the New York Teleg AMI
Patterson Is generally known In South Caro-
lima as Honest john" For any one In that
State nowadays to have a s~obrtQuet Including
the word '.HOnesL" is to mean that he is one
of the chiefs OF the dlsreputaoles, and 30 the
country can easily see what sort of a man has
been elected to this high Office by the once
proud State OF South Carolina. Patterson is
q man Of great shrewdness, one Of the chiefs,
If not the generalin.chief, of o lobby as NOR
ally rotten as Greene street. He has made
large sums of money. His name Is connected
with some of the most gigantic Ofthe Infamous
railroad and other swindles OF the wretched
South Carolina Legislature. John ]. Patter-
son, with the dignities of the United States
Senate upon him, lie the filling capstone OF the
monument reared by those mocking testers of
the South Carolina Legislature to the memory
Of dead public virtue.
From the New York Tribune.l
Affairs are unsavory In South Carolina,
where Mr.. j. ]. Patterson, q thrifty, unscrupu-
lous Pennsylvania, has been elected to the
Senate by the Legislature. He came to grief
at once, being arrested for bribery aud cor
ruption. Temporarily released from custody,
he was rearrested. and ID yet to be tried. This
%scandalous chapter In South Carolina politics
will not surprise anybody who has paid any
attention to affairs In that Slate. As between
Ex-Governor Scott and Patterson, the latter
would be a choice OF evils. Bnt both are un-
derstood to have regarded the contest for the
senatorship as one of cash only. 1t may be
difficult to prove bribery 10 Paiterson's case,
though there Is little doubt that the moral evil
dence against him Is conclusive. Mr.. Elliott,
the colored candidate, seems to have cut no
figure in the canvass. His strength has been
supposed to be merely an unknown quantity
which Yves marketable.
