RUssIA's MEDITERRANEAN SQUADRON.
LoNroN, Nov. 29.-An unauthenticated
rumor recently appeared in some of the
Continental newspapers that the Russian
Mediterranean squadron had been ordered
to America.
INTERVIEW OF MINISTER BOXER WITH THE
CZAR-THE SQUADRON UNDOUBTEDLY
SENT TO AMERICA.
Ths St. Petersburg correspondent of the
Times, in letter to that journal under date
of November %, says :-"On Monday Nov.
20, Mr.. Boxer, the American Minister 10
Russia, was suddenly informed that the
Gar desired to see him at Tsarskoe Selo.
AS it is unusual for diplomatists below the
rank of Ambassador to be admitted to such
audiences, every imaginable rumor was cir
culated as to what passed between the Gar
and the American Minister. Although the
truth has not officially transpired, bslieve
the Czar's object was simply to beg Mr..
Boxer to communicate to President Grant
the fact Of the departure of the Russian
Mediterranean squadron for America.

A QUESTION AS TO THE sPEAKERsHIP.
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-The Herald's Co.
lumbia, s. g., special says of the State
House Legislature -
"a negro named Lee, OF Chester, who as
included in the vote for Mackey, says be did
not vote at all, which would invalidate the
election OF Speaker.
THE HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
"After the election of the regular officers,
and the members having been sworn ia, this
body appointed committee of seven on
Privileges and Elections, he number usually
being eleven, allowing room for four Dem.
ocrats, should they relent and come in.
THE DISPUTED COUNTIES.
"The only proceedings of interest that
occurred was motion of a member who
wished to know whether the counties of
Edgefield and Laurens were to have any
representation in the Legislature either by
Republican or Democratic representatives.
Some debate on the question ensued, but the
matter was laid over.
COUNTING THE VOTE.
"The concurrent resolution was adopted
appointing Wednesday, the och, as the day
on which the returns for Governor and
Lieutenant. Governor should be canvassed
by the Senate AMI House in joint session, ,and
the persons ascertained to have received the
highest number of votes declared elected to
those Offices.
DISPUTED SENATORS ADMITTED.
In the Senate the Senators from Edge
field, Laurens, and Abbevile counties pre-
sented themselves and were admitted on
certificates of the Supreme Court, but were
refused seats. The standing committees
we're appointed and the credentials of the
above mentioned Senators were taken il
charge by the Committee on Privileges and
Elections, and would be acted upon in due
time.
COMPOSITION OF THE SENATE.
The Senate Is composed of 80 members;
of these being excluded left 80 only OF
that number 18 were Republicans and Il
Democrats. Three of the Republicans will
vote with the Democrats, which makes q
deadlock in that body. The three excluded
Democrats have the best prospects of being
admitted.
THE DEMOCRATIC HOUSE.
The Democratic Legislature, which or.
ganizcd at Carolina Hall, appointed a COM
mittee to wait upon the Senate to inform
that body that the House was organized AND
ready for business. They also appointed 4

THE TWO MEN OF SANDY BAR

THE TWO MEN OF SANDY BAR.
At the Grand Opera House last evening
the play of "Two Men of Sandy Bar" was
produced with all the scenery and novel ef-
fects 1t is so celebrated for. We had heard
go much in condemnation of the play that
we must confess that it was with. prejudice
that we witnessed the same, but before it
was through we were charmed with all the
quaintness and humor running through it,
and so intimately identifying 1t with Bret
Harte who is the author.

piece is one deserving in every way of en-
couragement and we feel confident that the
attendance will be large.

III. =. DAvENroEr, Eso.-At the
recent Senatorial Convention at Mar
tinsburg, the gentleman whose name
caps this paragraph was chosen to pre-
side. and its selection by that body OF
its President was judicious, Mr.. Daven-
port being gentleman of dignitied
mien and thoroughly just and impartial;
But it was not of this that we intended
to write; but to advert to the fact that
Mr.. Dayenport's name was presented
to the Convention for nomination as
candidate for State Senator against his
earnest protestations; and the further
fact, that after his positive decllnation,
in well chosen words, of the use OF his
name, his friends of Jefferson and
Berkeley persisted in keeping it before
the Convention, and gave him a very
handsom. vote, clearly indicating the
high esteem in which he is held.
Mr.. Davenport is gentleman OF cul-
ture, OF liberal opinions, and Impractical
everyday sense, and would prove an ac-
QUESTION TO our Legislative assemblies;
but his large interests at home demand
his attention. He has broad and beauti-
full acrcs-a field large enough to &c,
mand the best thought and energies and
careful supervision of the most intelIl-
cent tiIer of the soil, and to have
served his fellow citizens in its State
councils at this time would have requir-
ed.a sacrifice almost too great 10 demand
of him.-Free Press.

The Indian campaign has proved, as
was expected, the grandest tiasco OF the
year. Sitting Bull, after whipping
Crook and Reno, and annihilating Custer,
has disbauded his forces, who have
gone to their respective homes, laden
with spoils, while the troops sent after
them were, at last accounts, tired, SICK,
hungry, and cold, and two hundred
miles from Deadwood City, which point
they were striving to reach, with the
fear, however, that their provisions
would give out before they got there.
All this could have been prevented by
sending the troops that were idllng
away their time in the Southern States
to the scene of hostilities as soon as the
war commenced.
