South Carolina Legislature.

COLUMBIA, S. c., April 2l.-The Gen.
eral Assembly met in extra session on
the call of Gov. Hampton. In the House
proceedings were confined TO calling the
roll OF the Wallace House as it stood
when it adjourned in December, with 60
members. The names Of the members of
the MacEey House were not put on the
roll and no action taken concerning
them. In the Senate, former Lieut., Gov,
Gleaves called the body TO order and
made a farewell address, insisting that
he was legally reelected, but that fur.
ther resistance would be futile. sevails,
President pro tenn, took the chair and n
motion was adopted for committee 10
wait on Mr.. Simpson, Hampton's Lieut.
Governor, and TO swear him in. Mr.,
Simpson came forward and told the Sen.
ate he had already been declared elected
and had qualified with Hampton last
December and no power on earth could
make him take the oath OF office again.
After discussion the Senate reconsidered
its action and struck out the provision
for swearing in Simpson. He then took
his seat and delivered brief address,
urging harmony and strict regard for
the rights Of all classes. "A motion
was then made to swear in the
three Democrats from Edgeiield, Laurens
and Abbeville counties, whom the Senate
had previously refused to seat, Obiec.
ton was made, but Simpson ruled that
on certificates Of election they were en-.
titled to seats, subject to contest and
declined to entertain an appeal from his
ruling. The three Senator's with a Dem.
ocrat elected since the adjournment 10
fill vacancy in Barnweil were then
sworn in. The Senate now stands IS
Democrats and IS Republicans, but one
Republican usually votes with the Dem.
ocrats, and another is in Jail under Grim.

vote virtually is l6 10 lG, the Lieutenant
Governor having the casting vote.

Mortality Among the 'Hoppers.

Sioux City journal.
Geo. II. Wright is very jubilant over the
discoveries he has made in regard to fatal
ty among grasshoppers. He has for two
weeks been watching the insects in his
Morning Side nursery, and he finds that all
sizes of them, from a quarter of an inch in
length to full growth, are dying off with
wonderful rapidity, the ground in his pota-
to patch being almost literally covered with
their carcasses. He had supposed that the
destruction was caused by the grub which
he had heard was making itself more
useful than ornamental, but an examina-
ton of the corpses disclosed hat 1t is the
little red parasite we have to thank, In no
hopper did he find less than three of our
minute friends, and in some he found ff-
teen. They burrow right into the vitals of
their host, entering just under the %juncture
of the wing with the body, and they keep
persistently at work until the poor hopper
wishes he was dead, and finally he gets his
wish gratified. Mr.. Wright has been some
what depressed by the fear that the hop
pers would possibly clean the country of its
crops, but he is treasured since mis- discov-
cries, and feels that he has something more
to base the opinion that the good Lord new
er made this country TO be continually the
prey of such a worthless, no.account crea-
ture as the grasshopper.

THE RIVER.

The Yellowstone made the run to Sioux
City in nine hours.
The river is falling here to-day, but still
maintains a good boating stage.
The steamer Alex Kendall left Yankton
last night for the Yellowstone, She took
a load of lumber tor the lower agencies.
Bismarck Tribune, June 9th The
steamer E. ii. Durfee departed for Fort
Benton Tuesday night with q full trip Of
freight and passengers. The next Fort
Benton packet leaving will be the Benton,
July 4lh. She will be followed by the
Josephine, July 9TH. Captain Marratta,
Superintendent. yesterday received a tele-
gram stating that the Rose Bud passed
Fort Sully on the Goth at coon. She will
arrive on Friday So The Key West aud
Far West passed into the Yellowstone yes
terday, and the Western viii arrive at
Buford to day from Tongue river. The
Gen. Meade and Peninah are also operating
between Fort Buiord and the Big Horn
pest. The river at this point is bank full
and still rising. -. The government steamer
Sherman will finish her repairs to morrow
and push out for Tongue rlver. The
steamers Victory and Weaver, from ST.
Louis, arrived Tuesday noon, and will
leave for the Yellowstone Thursday eve
ming, The Florence Meyers will leave
for the Yellowstone on Monday evening
July 3D.. The Ashland is making bel
second trip from Buford up the Yellowstone
carrying freight left at that post last tall
49,. The agent states that three Thousand
five hundred tons of government freight
has already been shipped up the river by
the Yellowstone line, the major portion OF
which is already delivered and the com
paGy confidently expect TO deliver five
/ thousand tons in the month of July, if the
stage of water holds good. The Flor
ence Meyer was thirty days in the Yellow
stone. The Victory and the little on
} she had since she left, is the way TIT
, roosters speak of the Weaver.
The Tribune published a full description o
the Sherman some weeks ago. The state
ments then made were justified. She is
J perfect boat, splendidly equipped, ant
moved along from the first hour she wa
placed in the water, perfect in all her parts
The Sherman was delayed nineteen day
by the sinking of the Cameron. Asid
t from that she met no delay. The officers
families on the Sherman are getting o.
nicely, but life on the murky waters OF tn
Missouri is liable to become tiresome afte
. two or three months. The families ar
well provided for from the commissary de
pertinent Of the army, and suitable arrange
ments are at hand for culinary operations
A laundry and other things necessary i
D also provided. The staterooms are large

DaKota and san Juan.

The La Plata Miner, of June 23d, fur
nishes the following information respect
ing the Dakota and San Juan mining
company's works at Animas Forks; and
the prospects generally of the district OF
silver bearing country wherein SO many
Dakotlans are interested:
Ed. M. Brown, of Animas Forks, came
down to Silverton last Monday, and re-
ports most encouragingly of the pros
poets at the Forks. The Animas Forks
Mining Company have been running their
mill every afternoon for the past ten days,
and it works splendidly, The company
are prepared to buy ores and are offering
prices that are very. liberal indeed, and
miners are we'll satisfied. The smelling
works which were carried away by a snow
slide, will be rebuilt Immediately, and
they will be located about one mile be-
low the former site, the new site selected,
being at the mouth of Burns gulch.
Miners are tiocking in every day, and
business is lively. There will be a vast
amount of work done upon the mines in
the vicinity of the Forks this summer
The splendid results that have followed
the development Of the mines in that vi
einity during the past winter, has had
tendency to give confidence to mine own
ers, and as they will be sure of a marke'
for their ore hereafter, they will push thu
work of development with double the en-
ergy heretofore manifested.
The same paper contains also this item
which refers to the mill and mines il
which the Dakota boys are Interested
Mr.. VIM. Beck, Jr., of Milwaukee, wa
in Silverton this week, and is at presen
stopping at Animas Forks, where he ii
tends spending the summer. He is inter
ested with the Animas Forks Mining CON
! pany, and reports the prospects most fla
lering for a lively season at the Fork,
The company have issued their schedul
of prices paid for ores, and it is very i'll
!, eral indeed, Their company has also lf
contracts for additional work upon the Re
Cloud and Mastodon lodes, and will ais
! work several other mines during the sun
mer.
