compelled to remain with the trains on
the roadside. The bill was finally do
feated.
The bill to regulate the granting of
divorces, being a bill to allow divorces OIL
the ground of adultery and no other
cause, also came in for general discus:
sion. Messrs. McCrady, Hemphill and
Rucker opposed the bill, taking the line
that South Carolina should adhere to the
principle which had governed the people
for two hundred years. during which no
divorce laws had been enacted except
during the short interval under Radical
rule. Mr.. Dargan favored the bill. The
bill was defeated.
The bill to prevent Illicit traffic in seed

"a MEMBER FROM ANDERSON"

The Camden Journal is particularly hard

sands OF dollars to our people if the pres
ent body had never met at all" In dis
cussing the important matters that have
come up for consideration in the Assembly,
itsays:
The question of salaries is another mat
ter that has caused good deal Of comment
from outside. The present salaries paid to
clerks secretaries, ETC., around the Capitol
are considered much too large for the
amount of work done, as against the cost of
similar labor outside. However, it appears
that the Legislature-th majority of them
Shink different. They act as if their con
stituents were millionaires, and should pay
all bills without grumbling. 1t seems that
in their opinion, q man who holds State
office should be paid double the price he
.ould command elsewhere for the same
vork-must be paid TO keep up the dignity
II the position-and any one who dares to
liffer from their views upon this matter is
denounced by them as "meddlesome and

A member from Anderson, with q small
handful to follow him, seems to be the only
check those princely gentlemen have upon
them, or they would vote away the whole
State in little less than no time He is
fighting for the interests of the people
whom he represents, as well as all other
honest taxpayers of the State. For his
fidelity to their cause he is called by the
opposition "a fool" "a denlagogue, "a
gas-bag," etc: and they further accuse him
Of clogging the wheels of business. Well,
since they are clogged in such good cause
we hope they will continue clogging. He
is worth more to the State than city full
of such princely gentlemen (?) Every 10
borer should be paid for his work, but that
pay must not be doubled because he hap
pens to be S.ate officer. These are the
Sentiments of the taxpayers, the persons
who have to foot the bills.

CRUELTY TO CONvICTs.

The special joint investigating com
mittee, appointed by concurrent resolu-
ton of the last General Assembly, to in
yestigate charges of cruelty to coDvicts Of
the Sopth Carolina penitentiary, employ
ed by, the Greenwood and Augusta Rail-
road; was submitted to both Houses of the
Legislature last week. The committee
spent some time in the work assigned
them, visiting the convicts on the Road,
inspecting the stockades, and taking tes-
timony in Columbia aud along the line
Of the Road. From the report of the
committee it appears that the testimony
is yoluminous and conflicting. The por-
ton of the testimony relating to the
charge Of cruelty against those who had
charge of the convicts is especially con-
tradictory, and the committee expressed
no opinions as to the guilt or innocence of
any Of those parties, butrecommend that
the testimony be referred to the Attorney
General for such action as the law justf.
fes. This action appears to us eminently
wise, for if: there has been cruelty the
parties esnbjectto criminal prosecution,
and are entitled to an unbiased trial by
jury to pass upon the conflicting testimo.
ny, which they could not have if their
cases had been prejudged by Legislative
action.
The committee exonerate from all
criminal conduct the President and Di-
.rectors Of the Road, and find the unusual
mortality among the convicts arose from
improper diet, want of cleanliness and
the insufhciency OF the stockades for the
number crowded into them. The report
with the testimony will have the ten
dency to prevent the recurrence of the
causes which led to such fearful results.

THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES RE-
sIGNATION.

Cn last Saturday Col. Colt, who was at
the late election elected Comptroller
General, sent his resignation to the Gov
ernor, who on last Tuesday laid the same
before. both Houses of the Legislature.
A concurrent resolution to 60 into an
election on yesterday wednesday, to Eli
the vacancy occasioned by the resigna-
ton Of Col. Colt was adopted by both
Houses. The prominent names men
toned in connection with the Office are
Mr.. w. E. Toney, who for four years was
book-keeper in the Office, Gen. Brattdn
and Col. Lipscomb.
Col. Colts resignation was quite sur
prise, and the reasons which he assigns
in his letter Of resignation, published in
another column, are clear and explicit.
We regret that he should have regarded
it, under the circumstances, duty to re-
sign his Office, since the facts exoneratipg
him from blame were known by the peo-
pie; at the time they cast their votes for
him, and the Legislature releasing him
from the pecuniary liability incurred by
the default of clerk, was the act of the
people through their Representatives !;
and that, too, without any expectation
on their part that such release would lead
to Col. Colts resignation of the Office.
We think Col. Colt has committed mis-
take. The vote Of the people at the
polls muat have convinced Col. Colt of
their entire and continued confidence in
him, and the act Of the Legislature re-
leasing him from pecuniary liability for
the default of subordinate on the
grounds of his innocency of all COM
plicity with his clerk and as simple JUS
tice to faithful public officer, should,
in our opinion, have induced him to coz
tinue in the discharge of the high pub
lie trusts the people, with a full knowl-
edge of all the facts, had committed into
his hands.

SENATE.

The only work of general interest
which the Senate performed to-day was
the passage Of the bill prohibiting the
CARRYING Of concealed weapons by sur
prisingly good majority.
The concurrent resolution in relation
to Col. Colt was then considered. The
text is as follows:
Resolved, by the Senate, the House of
Representatives concurring, That the
General Assembly, taking into consid-
Grafton the valuable services rendered to
the State by James c. Colt, Esq. special
Commissioner, the amount of labor i'm.
posed upon him in the several Acts of
Assembly, and the strict fidelity with
which he discharged the duties which de-
volved upon him, do hereby exonerate
him from all personal RESP onsibility for
the loss occasioned to the State in con-
nection with the funding of the bills of
the Aank of the State.
After some discussion there was pira
vocc vote and 9he resolution was adopted,
two or three voices in the negative.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
A great number of bills which have
passed second readiog in tho House du-
ring the past few days were read third
time and sent to the Senate. Among
these was the antl-Wnlskey Dill: Iuis
bill, it is said, will be amended In the
Sen2te, and will finally pass even In bot
ter shape than it is at present. Among
other things it is thought that the Senate
will increase the license to 5000, and the
vote in the House yesterday indicates
that it will concur.
The consideration Of the bill to amend
the Act to incorporate the Columbia and
Lexington Water Power Company, pass
ed by the last Legislature, occnpied near
ly the entire morning and night sessions
of the House. [This is the Act granting
Messrs Thompson & Neagle the right: to
utilize the water power of the Columbia
Cunal, and the amendment seeks to en-
tend the time for commencement of ope-
rations ono year.] Messrs. Murray and
Rucker favored and Mr.. Simpson opposed
the bill. The bill was made the special
order for tomorrow.
