VIZ begin to-day a series OF biOgraphi-
cal sketches of the members elect Of the
next General Assembly, which in view Of
the momentous issues before the people
will possess more than ordinary interest.
This Legislature was elected in the Cen.
tenniaI year, when The people elected not
only q Legislature but C~oncressmen and
Governor and voted for Presidential
electors. The canvass was exciting and
exhaustive. The ablest men Of the State
canvassed the State from cod to end, aud
the people were aroused to intelligent
sc,ion and voted understandinglJ. A
new Legislature comes upon the scene of
action. Two United States Senators are
to be elected to take their seats next
March, in a Senate that may be called
upon to consider questions of uncommon
gravity and Importance. Three impor.
tant State Offices are to be fllsd-that
of the Secretary OF State, Treasurer aud
Comptroller. Questions of policy in re-
gard to the State debt, the conventional
rate Of interest, small ofense law. con
stiiutionsl amendments, and other sub
jects Of Cqaal interest viii demand at
tentiou, That the people may be in
formed concerning the material and
status of this Centennial Legislature we
propose to continue these sketches.

Mr. W. B. GALBREATH, after filing with
distinguished fidelity and honor the po-
sition Of President of the Cotton ET-
change, has resigned. During his sd-
minlstration the institution has grown to
prominence among the commercial or
CARNATIONS of the country, aud has
more than realized in usefulness and
utility the fondest hopes of its frs,
friends aud members. Mr.. Galbreath
acquitted himself with that high credit
which has always attached to him as a
gentleman OF easy manners, rare execu-
tive abilities and splendid SUCCESS

are sleeping, smoking, %conversing, and
q few are listening to the e%loquencs OF a
negro from Charleston county, known as
Fancy Bill, the Santee Orator Both
parties are holding the fort till to.mor-
row. The Democrats know that if they
20 out they will not be resdmitted, aud
they propose to stay until II o'clock to-
morrow, when the Laurens and Edge
field delegations will doubtless be eject
ed by the Federal soldiers. The scene
in the hall at this hour is unique and in
teresting. Speaker Mackey a Republi-
can, remarked to ME, a few moments
ago, that this was the FIRST free. square
meeting Of the Legislature that had ever
assembled in South Carolina. There is
a fr~ee.and.easy air about it that does not
agree with the situation as it really is"
LATER.
The situation is unchanged. Both
parties have occupied the House Of Rep
resentatives since IL o'clock yesterday.
Numerous propositions for u compro'
mise avail nothing.
l. is now half past one and the URited
States troops have not intertered. Dem
