MOVAL.

Special Dispatch to the Sunday News.

ShAhLES1ON, bSS- 40 1O'O'
The State Senate a few days ago
passed Joint Resolution extending
the session of the legislature until
December 22d, thus repeating the
resolution which had fixed upon the
18th as the time of adjournment.
This resolution for extending the
session came up for action in the
House :of Delegates yesterday. For
several days past there has been
whispers of an intention on the part
of the friends of removal to bring up
just before adjournment the ques-
ton of q temporary removal of the
State Capital to Wheeling. Senators
Bishop and Hall, friends of removal,
who have been absent for some time,
arrived here on Thursday, and thus
gave strength to the fears of the
Charlestonians.
Accordingly when the resolution
for all extention Of the session was
offered in the House yesterday it was
assailed by Mr.. Butcher, Of Jeffer-
son, as intended to afford time for
the passage Of the Capital bill. Other
opponents Of removal also attacked
the resolution whose passage was
warmly advocated by Davenport
and other removalists. The excite
ment became intense, some of the
citizens who were in the lobby con-
tributed largely to increase it, until
at length the Sargeant-at-Arms was
called upon the floor. The resolution
CaS fnaJy passed 6y the House to
the intense delight of the removal
lists and the chagrin of the Charles
tonians.
Last night there was a good deal
of excitement III the hotels and upon
the streets in relation to the question
of the removal of the capital, and
lively times may be anticipated
when the bill comes to q vote in the
Senate. JONES.

The Spaniards iu Gu ba.

George Alfred Townsend writes 10 the
Chicago Tribune: Twenty months ego
l visited Havana, and gave you an idea
OF the bloodthirsty gang which rules
there around the tomb of Columbus,
who happily never was OF their blood.
Cock6ghters, bull-baiters, cruel as
teaches, and subject to whirl-winds Of
frenzy, but never TO the contagion OF
plea santry, they resembled an Amer.
can prizefght in perpetual session.
Tehir ignorance is more dangerous
than their cruelty for it has none OF the
restraints OF ordinary prudence as it is
as likely to sack the residence OF Con-
sui, or to shoot an American Admiral,
as to kill parcel OF school children.
Havaus itself is an anomaly ' even
when Spain has it under guard: the
hoary wearer ofthe Visigothio Crown
propped almost at the cape OF our two
long lines OF coast, and as much out Of
place there as the Turks in Crete.
Proximity to our coast has in q
measure changed the scope, but not the
nature, OF the Spauisrds OF Havana.
They are louder. freer, more aggressive,
than at home in Spain, aud psrtake OF
the characteristics OF the neighboring
slave-holding cities OF the United Ststs7,
expecting their editors to fght and be
abusive. Many OF them have no con-
ception OF The size and physical visor
OF our large cities, and yet they DO not
possess 8 place on their coasts to repair
8 ship OF war, have no srtilleris;s OF &C.
curacy on land or sea, no provisions to
stand siege-pothing but audacity and
the love OF blood.

Matters at the Navy Yard.

Great activity still prevails at the
Brooklyn navy yard. Work is progress
ing fast on the Florida and Minnesota,
and it is thought that they will be
ready for sea by the Goth inst. The
Dictator and Roanoke are both being
stocked with provisions. The Arspiles
still remains a prisoner at the dry-dock
and as yet no efforts have been made
to raise the suuken coal barge, which
lies submerged in thirty feet OF water and
five of mud in front OF the dry-dock' 1t

NEW YORK, December 13.-At the
prayer meeting in the Church Of the
Pilgrims, Brooklyn, last evening,
Rev. DR.. Storris, pastor, presiding,
resolutions were adopted to the effect
that if Plymouth Church abides by
the terms of the resolution introduc-
ed by Rev. Mr.. Beecher, and adopt
ed, proclaiming the sovereignty of
that church in matters of church
polity and government, then the
Church of the Pilgrims would be sep
arated from the fellowship with
them. The Congregational Church,
of Clinton avenue, took a similar ac-
ton last evening. DR.. Buddington,
pastor, declared that if Plymouth
Church PERSISTED in its declaration OF
independence, there must be a for
NAL recognition Of the separation by
q properly constituted council.

LETTER FROM CHARLESTON.
Good Work in Both HOuses-The

Normal SchooIs-MattcrsP Personal
and Otherwise.

CHARLESTON, Dec. 9.
Editors OF the Register.
Yesterday was a busy day at thC
Capitol. Mr.. Bennett on behalf OF the
Senate Finance Committee, submitted
the appropriation bills; and under q
suspension OF the rules they were Or
dered to second reading. The Norma
Schools, according to the general approS
priation bill, are.to receive 81 .2OOieach,
q much less sum than has been hereto
fore granted to some OF them. A feel
ing is gaining ground here that it is the
wish of the people that these institu'
tions should be abolished, and without
express instructions to the contrary, |
am satisfied that the next legislature
will rub them out" A great many
other bills Of general importance were
perfected by the Senate, and all agreed
that a good days work had been done
in that body.
The House held three sessions yes'
terdsy, and worked until ten o'clock
p. m. More bills were passed than
during any three previous days OF the
session. A very general desire prevails
upon the part OF the Democratic mem
bers to work; and they are willing TO
devote night and day to their duties.
But our Radical friends, true to the
purpose for which they came here, use
all their powers to defeat and obstruct
legislation, no matter upon what SUBJ
jecI. Motions to adjournd yesterday
were frequently made by the Republi.
cans, but your townsman, Mr.. Dayen-
port, very cleverly called for the ayes
and nays, and the RAIDS were afraid to
put themselves upon the record as in
opposition to doing the work they were
sent here TO do.
The bill proposing the abolition Of
the Normal Schools coming up in the
House, Hon. Albert A. Lewis, Of Lewis
county, appeared as the champion Of
the schools, and made one Of the
most pleasing speeches l have yet list
ened to in the House. His argument
was the best in favor OF the continuance
OF Normal Schools that has yet been
made, aud the friends OF these inslitu
tions warmly congratulated him at the
close OF his remarks for his success.
Mr.. Lewis was followed by Uncle
Billy Brown" OF Preston, 10 s.sledge-
hammer argument in opposition 10 the
Normal Schools. Mr. Brown made a
good speech, Ethe best that could possi-
bly, have been made from bis stand
point, and at the close OF his remsrke,
the hour for Adjournment. having ar
rived, the subject was laid upon the
table.
Quite lively fight also occurred in
the House yesterday upon the railroad
b!Il-"House bill No. l68"-a bill re-
curing railroad companies TO fence in
their railroad and providing penalty
for failing TO comply with ssid require

appeared as champion Of the bill, and

cumstances to explain the situation frank
ly and fully to those who were then, and
bad previously been in their employ
The Record report is much the best, that
of the Union being condensed and gar
bled. From this " talk" this unwelcome
truth is evident, that the hostile attitude
of the people and a portion Of the press,
continued year after year, has shaken
faith in this class cf securities abroad
that European capitalists refuse to pur-
chase the bonds of any new road except
at ruinous rates that consequently no
new roads will be built for years, and un-
til confidence is ro-established that as
no new roads are to be built no new roll
ing stock viii be needed, hence, for these
reasons, the company is obliged to reduce
the number Of its employees retaining
only enough to operate the roads already
built and keep them and the rolling stock
in repair. Farmers, who have thus lost
a market for their produce workmen
thrown out of labor, and every branch of
business benefited by the development
of the State, and by the encouragement
of industrial interests, will suffer by this
state of affairs, but that is a matter of
triiling importance compared with the
election of Luttrell to Congress and
Booth as Senator. These statements of
Stanford and Hopkins have not been as
sailed by the UjHOn, except in regard to
a few unimportant particulars, and their
truth is apparent. The Union makes Il
feeble attempt to throw fidicule upon
Stanford because he presumed to criticize
the Governors San Francisco speech
its desire to cvade direct reply to the
plain statement Of facts presented by
those gentlemen, is only made the more
apparent by that course Of action
