THURSDAY, october rs.
In THE SENATE, Mr.. Corwin introduced a
bill to regulate the fees of probate judges,
clerks Of courts, trial justices and other oti'
GERS.
A bill to amend the act regulating the pay
ment of members of the General Assembly,
was referred to the judiciary committee.
The HOUSE went into committee Of the
whole at 1890, to consider the financial situ-
alton of the State, Mr.. Smith, of Spartanburg,
having the floor. He advocated the payment
of forty cents on the dollar, of the honest
debt, and a thorough investigation of that
said to he fraudulent, and the payment OF
the balance in proportion to what was received
for the same.
The House was addressed by Robertson, Of
Beaufort; Minort, of Richland; Crittenden,
of Greenville Green, of Beaufort; Hurbert,
of Darlington, and others. All favored re-
pudiation of whatever part Of the debt is fraud
ulent, but none of the speakers seem to be
able to determine to what extent reputation
should 20. The temper Of the legislature
seems to favor scaling of the whole debt.
FRIDAY, October "a.
The proceedings in the Senate present moth
ing of special interest. The Senate adjourned
until Monday, 9th instant.
In THE HOUSE, the speaker laid before that
body the return of the special election in
Charleston county to fill the vacancies occa-
stoned by the resignation of Mr.. B. A. Bose
mon, Jr., and acceptance of disqualifying
office by Mr.. o. R. Levy, and announced
that Messrs. C. G. PuAer and E. w. NJ. Mack
ey had been elected to fill said vacancies
and stated that if the members elect were pre-
sent the oath of office would be administered ;
whereupon Messrs. G. G. Puffer and E. W.
M. Mackey presented themselves, we're duly
sworn, and took their seats.
Mr.. S. Green introduced bill to amend
title 3, chapter IL, section 1923, revised stat
utes of South Carolina, so as to allow county
treasurers to retain State school funds.
Mr.. G. Green introduced resolution that
the committee on ways and means be required
to introduce, at an early day, a bill provi-
ding for an appropriation ofs60O and mileage
for this session of the general Assembly, as is
required by the constitution.
Mr. Minort introduced resolution that the
State treasurer be, and he is hereby, requested
to issue for the relief of the treasury, the two
hundred thousand dollars Of the remaining
five hundred thousand dollars bills receivable,
authorized under the act Of December, 1865,
and that he retain the same subject to the Or
ders of the General Assembly, for the expen-
ses of the extra session. A debate ensucd,
pending which, at the hour of 8 p. M, the
House adjourned until Monday next at I P. m.

The Investigation scandal.

III som the Newark Dahy AdNtFtlstfl
We published yesterday by telegraph the fact
that Fernando Wood had introduced resolution
In the House Of Representatives referring testi-
mOny taken to the Judiciary Committee, with In
stuctiOns to report articles OF impeachment
against Schuyler COlfaX, Vice President Of the
United States, II In Its judgment there Is evil
dence duplicating that Oniccr and warranting
impeachment. The resolution was amended by
a vote referring the testimony taken before the
Poland committee to the Judiciary Committee,
with Instructions TO Inquire whether anything ~
such testimony warrants articles OF impeach-
mcnt Of any OfiCeF Of the United States not a
member OF the House, or make II proper that
further investigation should be ordered ~ lls

thing, The use Of the heavier rsper It is
alleged will cause on expense OF s25,O00 per
session for the wrappers and bindIngo Of Nddl-
tioual Volumes. We have the authority Of
the proper officer for aying that this is untrue.
But even II 1t were So the argument would be
Just as applicable to Rives & Bailey were they
to furnish the kind Of material which the
Government prefers. The circumstances be-
ing the same, the results would be the samc,
with this important difference, that we pro-
pose tn furnish the heavier material at less
rates than Rlvcs IS Bailey are now furnishing
the lighter.
The cost Of stcrcotyping being covered by
the terms Of our bid, the declaration that do
Gcicnclcs' will he required to cover actual
cost for stcrcotyplng' Ia assumption, pure and
undecided. We might, with equal reason, as
sumo that the same deficiencies will I've re-
quircd by Rivcs 4 Bailey. They cover the

good faith and to the letter Il Just aS fair ns
that theirs will be.
The number of ems Ia the Gloh ii last

urement, Is 35,7ll,5l6. At 81 cents per thou
sand, our bid, the amount paid for reporting
would have been s2a997.67. This, 1t is a.,
sumed, is slS,96s lees than We would have
had TO pay for the reporting. But not 80 Il
RlycsS & Balley's snlcasurcment( IS, 800, 900 ems,
is the correct one. In that case the amount
paid MS would have been s32, ,5a2. The "a
sumcd deficiency for paying the reporters
is as hypothetical as that for stcr

as to that for typc-setting Because We bid

Then the more Rives & Bailey may he pleaset

Declining to compete for the publication o

they attack the rates and estimates Of Others

CIRCULAR.

Messrs. Riyes h Bailey Issued yesterday, In
the form Of q circular addressed to Senators,
what they are pleased to call " comparison
Of the various propositions for reporting and
printing the debates Of Congress" This re-
markable document Is n second attempt to
bridge over the chasm between their PROPOSE
ton and ours by arbitrary and unwarrant-
able additions 10 our bid In their previous
circular, after forming their own esti nate Of
what the debates would cost at our rates, and
itrice charging US with the cost Of stereotyp-
ing, they admitted balance In favor Of our
proposition Of clos 600 for each Congress.
Taking their estimatc as correct although by
no means Acknowledged to be so, we showed,
with the cOnclusiycness Of mathematical
demonstration, that the balance In our favor
was not slOs, 900, but sl09, ,4q6.6O. And now
come Rlyes 4 Bailey into court and attempt
10 explain this away, as well as lnyalldate

that, In addition to what We propose to charge

THE vIRGINIUS.

There is so much romance about the |
yirginius that brief sketch of her can |
not fail to interest the American reader.
She was formerly known as the Virgin,
but her name was subsequently changed
to the yirginius. She was side-wheel
steamer, built on the Clyde in 1864 for q
blockade runner, and was reported TO be
when launched, one Of the most rapid
vessels ever constructed, her lines being
most symmetrical, and her engines re-
markedly powerful for her size. After
a successful career in running our South
ern blockade, she was eventually cap
tured at Mobile, cotton laden, when the
Union forces took that city. Suisse
auently, the Virgin was brought TO New
York, and was transferred by the Naval
Department to that of the Revenue, but
after she had entered the service Of the
United States she was found unsuited for
her work, and she was sold at auction to
Isaac Roberts, q son OF Marshal o. Rob
erts, of New York, bu. was subsequently
transferred to John F. Patterson, of New
York. She was then fitted up as prl-
vateer and blockade-runner, in the IN
terest of the Cuban insurgents. She was
a very desirable vessel for that purpose,
not merely on account of her great speed,
but on account of her small
draught OF water only eight feet when
loaded with 400 tons of cargo-whicl
gave her unusual facilities for running
close in shore on the Cuban coast. Or
July 20, 1871, Gen. Rafael Buesada be
ing III command, she was successful II
landing a cargo on the Cuban coast neal
Santiago de Cuba. On the 9TH of july
last, under the same commander, SHIT
succeeded in landing another cargo OF
the southern coast of Cuba. Both tHes'
cargoes were obtained in Venezuela, aut
the Virginius, although she has con
tinued to fly the American flag, has no
been in an American port since 1871
During her filibustering career she Ia
for some time in the port of Colon
where she was closely watched by tn
Spanish war vessel Pizarro, but re
ceived the protection Of the America
Minister to Columbia, on the ground this
her papers were regular, and that sh
could not be molested for an unlawfJ
voyage after the unlawful voyage la
been definitely completed. At the tim
of her capture she was under the con
mand of Captain Joseph Fry, u nati'
of Louisiana, and graduate OF the Al
napolis Naval Academy, who WAS e
gagged in running the blockade dutil
the rebellion.
