FROM COLUMBIA.
SATURDAY, November -.
On Tuesday next the regular session Of the
General Assembly will convene. The extra
session may be considered lis over, and Il re-
view of its action is in order. 1t has cost the
State at least Sl25,ODO. What consideration
has been given for it There is none that
can see, unless it be the repeal of the law au-
thorzin. the comptrnlrr.grncral to give no.
ticc OF the rate per cclltum of taxation to the
county auditors. and the consequent defeat Of
the manlamu> in the suit Of Morton, Bliss Il
Co. This WAS done within three days after
the meeting of the extra session, and the bal
ancc OF the time consumed has been simply
an expense to the State without any benefit
whatever A$ to adjusting the bonded debt
of the State, the General Assembly is as far
from it now ;lS it w;ls on the first day Of the
session. The forty per ccnlum scaling bill
will probably become an act, and il Is about
the best and the only thing that the present
General Assembly can do toward settling the
troubled debt question.
But it will not operate, from the simple fact
that the bondholer> have no confidence in the
present government The holders Of some
certain Glasses of po<t-bcllum bonds might be
willing to exchange them for the "tilndcd
bonds" but parties holding valid obligations,
and particularly the owners Of the old bonds
of the State which were sold at par, will not
surrender them for the new bonds ut So great
il sacrifice.
The interest in the gubernatorial election of
next fall is being increased from day to day.
The question is shall Frank Moses be re-
nominated by the Republicans or not? There
are great many, Il very great many, and very
influential Republicans who arc opposed to
Moses, and the prepondcrancc Of opinion is
that he cannot secure the next nomination.
He has lost his main friends in the party.
Patterson and Worthington, who were reamongst
his chief supporters last year, have deserted
him. Il. B. Elliott, too, who did more, per-
hapS, than any one else to secure Moses nom.
nation in the last convention, is now bittcrl Y
opposed to him. and it is difficult to see where
Moses strength is to come from outside of
himself. There is not Il leading Republican
who supports Moses earnestly, and he has Of
Tended nearly every one Of them beyond re-
call. \ Republican showed me yesterday Il
string of charges upon which it is proposed to
impcach Gov. Moses for high crimes and mis-
dcmeanor$
IMPEACHMENT CHARGES.
The charges are in brief, that the Governor
received heavy brihc for approving the print
inc bill of last session. amounting to S323,OOO,
that he made Il corrupt arrangement with 4
view to his last nomination, plcdging his faith
cr's the chicf:ju>tirc} decision upon the valid
ity Of the Blue Ridge scrip, and that he has
been influenced in the exercise of his power
of patronage by $orlid and corrupt motives.
1t is hardly probable that the impeachment
will be made, but it is very certain that it Is
contemplated by certain parties, for have
seen the articles of Impeachment written
cards, and is hedging all he knows how. lie
relies upon the distribution Of the patronage
of his Office to secure sufficient influence in the
counties to control the primary conventions.
There are several Republican candidates
whose names arc spoken Of lis possible
ANTAGONISTS TO MOSES.
Ofthcsc arc G. ID Melton, Senator Robertson,
Attorncv-( (;cncral Melton and Judge John T..
Greene, of sumter Judge Grahan,ss name

CONSENT to enter the field He has some fine
running qualities for i Republican, He has
never stolen anything, has ever been atfablc
and accommodating, and he has Il strong desire
to regain entirely the confidence Of the better
class of the community. The only drawback
to Robertson is his health. lie says that his
nervous system is in such a condition that he
could not well undergo the excitement of il
State canvass {. ID. Melton, it is said, cam
not afford to give up his profession. Attor-
nev-Gencral Melton has alread Y a more lucr-
tive post, and the candidate to oppose Moses
must, therefore, be found in some other quar-
ter, unless reasons can be found to induce
some Of those named to change their views.
MONDAY, November "a.
The extra session has ended to-day, and it
has closed with nothing more remarkable, per-
haps, than the resolution in the House to pay
Speaker Lee six hundred dollars for extra ser
vices. This is customary, believe, or has
been made 81 in the last two or three years.
Otherwise the proceedings Of the General As
Sembly tonight have been without interest.
The Senate passed resolutions complimentary
to the president and the clerk for the discharge
of their respective duties. President Gleaves
made short speech, comp mpimcntng the mem.
bcr> upon the harmonious action and upon
the disposition which had been manifested to
act honestly by the State and resist all the
dishonest schemes which have been presented.
Whether the praise Of the president is descrv-
cd or not remains afterwards to he seen. SO
far it is evident that the Senate has been i'll
clincd to favor every claim against the State,
whether honest or dishonest, which is present
ed us tocrably authenticated and that body
