THR Holly Springs South, after re-
view Of the Legislature, says "it must
hesitate, in view Of the good accom-
plished," to apply the plaudil, well
done, good and faithful servants" The
South Is more consideratc than some
other journals who predicted that the
Legislature would accomplish 10 good,
and who insist that they have not been
disappointed, When the Legislature
reache, the end Of its work, we think the
general record Of the session will be in
its favor. We will make summary, in
due time Of the wise and timely meas
ures that have been adopted, according
to our judgment. Certain il is, that no
body Of Legislators ever met in the State
Capitol that worked harder, or seemed
more intent on dischargiug their whole
duty as representatives Of the people.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES

We were not in the Senate during the
whole of the debate in which the State
Female College formed so great n fca-
turc and omitted some of the speakers
in our report yesterday, but We have
been informed that Senator Sykes
spoke against the proposed amend
ment and in favor of permitting the
College bill to remain as il was, so
that the College should be fact
M early as possible. Mcsssrs Walker
and Burkitt spoke IN favor of the
amendment Mr., Walker insisting that
the Legislature ought to mtify the
choice of place, contending that the To-
cation was matter of great importance
for the necessities of the institution.

what we regard most excellent speech.

the House were awarded extra compen-

the night sessions have entailed unusual
and unexpected labor, but this claim
could hardly be made with reference to
the Senate, though the pages there and
the Sergeant-at-A Arms have been certainly
quite rs courteous and attentive, and We
felt that we would be glad to see them
rewarded, thinking, too, that it was not |
their fault that they bad not had hard |
time of it, But still we were i'm
pressed with the COED sense in the
words Of Mr. Smith. He said he did |
not like to deny to the little boys any
thing, but that their compensation was
ample, and that they knew what it was
to be at the beginning, and that he hard
ly thought it wise to encourage the
practice Of seeking additional compensa-
ton; that it led to greedy and inordi-
nate desire for gain. That it would

taught to stick to contract and to de.

would be worth TO them; that the sooner
they learned not to ask back salaries the
better for them. Men should rather re-
fund over-pay when offered than be
seeking to obtain it.

The five children of Mrs. Corners, q widow
living on Hallam street, with woman who
was doing the homework, were taken vio-

Mrs. Corners is confined to her bed by brou-
chial pneumonia and partook of none of the
dinner which the remainder of the family
ate and which, it is believed. caused the
trouble few houH after the attock DR..
Martin was called and administered an
enetic, which operated. Dr.. Martin said
yesterday that the symptoms were unques-

say from what substance. Monday night
three of the six persons were much better,
and yesterday morning all were more COM
Portable except the eldest daughter, young

posed the dinner will be analysed. Many

something was wrong with the meat, al
though the butcher of whom it was pur'
chased declares that many other individuals

illness in no other instance. The poisonous
substance was probably in some of the con
