CHARLESTON; March 10.
Our distinguished Ecumenicsl Council
lssti!l pursuiHg the even tenor Of It's way.
Now and then some gentleman stirs up
the adjournment question. A large mum.
be-, in fact, q mRjorltY Of both Houses,
arc farmers, ahd,it Is positively essential
that they very soon go home to attend to
their farming Interests. The last week
was bright. and warm and started the
divers III and around 0hatleaiops,, This
seemed to waken up our farmer Solons
and filled them with desire to be at
home turning up the soil and preparing
fer seed time. Some Of the more careless
ones have publicly stated THAT 1t matters
not whether tho Legislature adjourns or
moi, they intend 10 go home on or before
the cath instant look at 1t from an in
dependent standpoint. IEmakes but little
difference TO me whether the thing ever
udIourns or not. I can stand my part Of

The Printing Frauds investigation was
taken from the table on Monday, and
forced 10 ON issue without debate. The
Honorable "Jeems" q. Ferguson, counsel
for Mr.. Walker, was ringmaster for the
occasion. "Jeems" you know is astntc.
II he can't extricate a man from Bondage
no one can. He is almost sure OF success,
even ifthe odds. are against him, but In
this case he was all right; he had large
Democratic majority inihis favor. And I
say 1t iearlessly that "Ieems" Ferguson,
with q Democratic Legislature backing
him, could clear man II he were covered
all oyerwIth Credit Mobilier stock and a
$4,000 printing fraud thrown in. How
ever, "Jeems" came out altttle short in
his defence Of Dir. Walker, His first rcso-
luton, which was the pei one Of the three,
md the one that was intended to furnish
head lines" for the CotsrisrS5 asdeleAted,
Il very happily read rs follows "- :.
"ReSOIuea, That this House does not
sustain tho charges against the Public
Printer, nor any, one Of thep."
Here was the rub. II the "thirty-1vo
Democrats that IRE sworn to stand by US !
will only come to time, We will be happy.
Adirtyy Radical, who has no rights that q
Democrat is bound TO respect, had theaut
daCiLy to demand the yeas and nays, and
thereby nut men on record. on this thing,
and consequently the "thirty.flve" tailed
to foot up iu tho tally, and the sweet
scented resolution was defeated; which,
according 10 my way OF seeing thmgs, cer1
tainly pronounced guilt upon the Public
PRIMER. This was sad Entirely unex-
pected "JCemsp was not happy.
The next two resolutions, both %
which were adopted, were rather remark!
able. The first ono Of them decided that
any Executive officer may sue Printer
II he had evidence to lead him 10 believe
that he has over charged. 1t does not
say he should sue, but he may do It The
Codeprovides for this, even In more ex-
pllcit Language than Is contained in the
resolution. This decided the question, Il
has now gone to its little bed.
Tho next, and last resolution, stated
that the House would have nothing more
10 do with tho reports OF Investigating
Committees This was just what they
wanted 10 do In the beginning, and iumy
opinion It would have Injured tho Demo
cratic party less had they taken thil
course T am done with the thing, but
am Of the opinion thatthe peopls are no
willing 10 let 1t stop here. They under
stand it fully, and can do Just as theI
please.
Senator Grantham made big speed
IN the Senate yesterday In which he abb!
defended the Jacob! GrSntham report o.
Printing frauds. He said, that II let alonl
Tor a few years Mr.. Walker would bank
lapt the state by hlt POPULATIONS. Hl
handled him without gloves; and went o.

Grantham being a prominent Democrat
member Of tho Senate, created quite
stir IN Democratic circles by his opeI
tim and fearless argument. II death

stand what 1t takes 70 kill a politics
