Losis<atses specula.ions.

The Intelligent Columbia correspondent Of
the Charleston Meas and Covrier thus speculates
upon some important matters that will be acted
on during the present session of the Legisla-
turc:
COLUMBIA, November 24.--9 p. M.-Later
trains have brought many members of the Gen.
cral Assembly and there is now fair prospect
of o quorum in both houses to- morrow The
representatives from the,upper portion of the
State nearly all here, but have seen none
Of the Charleston delegation rs yet. The gene
raj sentiment appears to be Overwhelmingly in
| favor of adjournment by thes23d of December
although few seem disposedso deprecate what
they style fastening of thespubic business -
| There is title excitement over the elcc-
| ton of Justices of the Supreme Court. The
probabilities are now that McIver will be Quiet
| ly elevated to the Chief Justiceship without
| trouble. Who will succeed him as Associate is
| question to which no answer can he given now
| with any assurance Of being even probably cor
| rect.
| There is vague intimaion that the phosphate
question will be brought up again, but in what
| form or by whom is as yet unknown. The pro-
liabilities of fight over the convict farming are
becoming stronger. The subject will certainly
| bc bI ought up.
| 1t is probable that attempt will be made,
during the present session, to change the exist
| ing laws regarding the collection of taxes and
re&olYliopize the present system entirely. What
succesSiR (kSpcct ii is impossible rs yet to tell.
| One ofVHS $hhnges proposed is the abolishment
of the oficeSe county audits0 and devolvng the
duties on the treasurer, which will necesstate
an amendment of the Constitution. A. b. W. I

IN CONCLUSION

| would say that the cunvicts now ut work with
one voice state that there has been n vast i'm
provcmcnt in their condition during the last
month or more. They have apparently nothing
now 10 complain of, the quarters being comfort
able and not crowded, the food abundant and
nutritious, and their general treatment humane
The difference in the death rate shows that there
has been vast change for the better. There is
one question which has suggested itself to me
throughout, and TO which have not yet any
satisfactory answer, whcrc wcrc tie Coroner and
Trial Justices Of Edgefcd all this time. and why
did they not take steps TO investigage II few of
the sudden and (within the meaning of the law
violent deaths about the road and stockadcs -
If there was i'll treatment would not that have
speedily stopped it? 1t certainly looks ns
though they have been exceedingly dcrelict in
their duty.
