The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1874-12-23

There is principle of good in
things evil. The scene at the morgne
IN New York, where tbs dead bodies Of
Mosher and Douglas were exposed. has
ah element Of pathos in it which the
brutality Of their lives renders greater
by contrast. The wife Of Mosher is
said to be AS bud as the dead burglar
ever was, and yet, when she fell upon
the remains and kissed them. one is
reminded Of Nancy Sykes and Bill.
It is true. the woman in real life dis
played, even in her weakness, the
tigress. AT war with society. she Was
disposed 10 defy law to the last. AL!
the logic in the world will never con-
vince her tha, her husband WAS killed
Justly that he took his chances
and lost them.

SY''! r Legislative.
Tho legislative bill to provide for the
pay,of members aud attaches of the
Gsnefa1 Assembly. ss 1t arst went from
the Senate, appropriated $3.50. 600 for
this purpose, and fixed tho House con.
tingent fund.- as $l5. 900, and that OF
che Senate at $4,000. In the House,
1t was out down to $3.50. 600. aud the
contingent funds speotiveiy to So, 900
and 81. 900. Upon being returned to
4ha aanate, it refased to concur in the
reduction of the general amount, as
also in that of the Senate Contingent.
a committee of conference, appointed
yesterday morning. to harmonizs these
differences, resulted I'm failure. a
committee 81 free conference was next
saised. and recommended that the
House should .recede from its
smendments. Upon this being re-.
ported to the House, the Speaker
ruled that the effect would be the
same, whether the House agreed
ITO it or not. It would become law in
either case. Mr.. Wallace, OF Union,
moved that the House refuse to adopt
the report. and thus throw the whole
responsibility for the proposed and
unnecessary increase Of sums appro-
-pfiated above what it had voted for,
@nes the Senate. Mr.. Trenholm. Of
Charleston, approved of the motion,
-atAting that the sum agreed upon in
, she Mouse was $40 for each member;
while tast contemplated by the Senate
would equal 5000 for each. Mr.. Cur
@is, Of f.Richland, who was on the Con-
: ference Coumittee, argued that the
House should agree to the demand of
the Senate, upon the ground that it
knew its affairs best, and could best
judge What it needed. Mr.. Boston, of
-Newberry. thought likewise. The
! House disagreed to therecommendation
of.the Conference Committee. by vote
ant ayes-6l. nays "a. The reform and
conservative tendency of the House
stands in this matter in fine contrast
with the grasping and extravagant dis
rpoiition OF the Senate. The second
lection of the bill, which has been
conourred in by both branches of the
General Assembly, is plainly unconsti-
tutional. 1t makes the pay of mem.
hers $500, under cover of the ACT OF
March IL, 1879. Unless it should
meet the veto of the Executive, il will
cause some trouble yet, and certainly
give dissatisfaction to the people, who
would like the professed reformers
whom they have sent here neither to
Tufringe tho Constitution, which they
have sworn to support. nor to make
themselves an exception to the rule of
economy, rotrenchment and reform,
which they claim the credit Of having
adopted.

vernon has signed the bill, aocompa.

fects, both in substance and form.

The failure Of the Citizens Bank, which,
is o grea. calamity admonishes Us of
the futility OF relying upon people who
attempt to live upon history and hot upon
duty. no persons were more trusted in
this community than Summers, Cayaroc
and Gaines. yet the institutions over
which they presided are al2 hopeless
wrecks. Nothing either Of the gentlemen
have done in the past can add the fraction
of one per cent to the savings of the cred.

trolled are calamities, and san nos be
