B. P. Kelly. nominated to be Trial

iected because of submission to the
Senate of q paper Of some sort assert
ING that every white man in that toW-!i-
ship except Mr. Kelly and one other
wanted the incumbent, j. II. Moseley,
reappointed.
And Senator Verdier was also in it.
but to a less extent. He secured the
defeat of the confirmation OF Z. +.
Fcy, appointed to be Trial Justice at
Grahamville, because of some charge
or other that he changed his residence
more or less pron,iscuouly in crueT to
oct the aforesaid appointment. Some
objection was made othe appointment
Of H. C. Pollitzer as Auditor, but he
| got there with both feet.
f; Senator Mower was also modest. He
secured the defeat of j. II. Williams,
/ appointed 10 be Trial Justice Of No. e
Township.
After little recess for the purpose
of seeing how breakfast tasted after
! four hours work before sun-lp. the
Senate gotdown to business and stirred
F.; UP q breeze over the DipeEs&ry Act.
| When the bill! came over from the
Hoase tic Senate Judiciary Coiumittee
proposed certain amendments to 1t.
which were adopted. While there
was 10 denial Of the fact tilat those
amendments were adopted. unfortu-
nately by some accident they We're not
Incorporated in the bill, nor was there
any record OF them in the journal OF
| the Senate. The House objected to
some Of the Senate amendments which
were Incorporated in the bill and a
committee of free conference was I'm
ally needed to settle these differences.
This committee discovered that the
Senate Judiciary Committee amend
ments were not incorporated III the
bill. but the House members OF the
conference committee refused TO con-
sider the amendments that had been
omitted, saying that they had no autho-
rity to do so as their body had not
acted upon them.
Senator BaImwell held that because
of the fact that the Senate amendments
had not been incorporated IN the bill,
the report ought to be rejected, which
would have the effect of killing the
bill. He made a long argument IN
favor of this course, holding that the
omitted amendments We're OF sufficient
importance to justify it. One Of these
amendments killed the section allow
ing the Solicitors and Judgesto secure
and grant change of venue before
grand jury reported true bill IN
case of alleged violation Of the Dis
pensary law. The loss of record Of
that amendment left that section llv-
ing. The .other amendment was OF
minor importance. Mr.. Barnwell held
that retention in the bill of the above
section, which the Senate had stricken
out on an unanimous report OF IT'S
Judiciary Committee. was wrong. ana
that the section itself was IN violation
of the Constitution, for that lnstru-
ment requires the submission OF atil-
davitS to secure change OF Venue,
while the section allowed Solicitors to
ask for changes of Venue at their own
discretion, and the Judges the same
freedom as to granting it. He further
held that changes of venue could only
be granted by Circuit courts, in cases Of
which they had original jurisdiction
and that court had no jurisdiction
of a case until the prisoner was at the
bar and he was not there until grand
jury had reported a true bill.
Messrs. Wilson and Maytield stated
that the time was too short to allow
them to make speeches; they simply
warned the Senate that If the report
was not adopted the bill would be
killed.
MIR Kirkland said he thought the
bill ought to be killed forit was wrong
to enact into law anything that the
Senate had by its vote condemned.
The report was adopted by a vote OF
is to I. as follows:
Yeas-Barton. Brice, Douglass. Du-
Bose. Efrd, Fuller, Harrison. Jordan,
Mayfield. Mcdaniel, Ragin, Williams
and Wilson
Navs-Barnwell, Buist, Kirkland,
Miller. Moses, Mower and Eerdier.
So the Dispensary bill stands ana
will become a law as soon as sltrecelveS
the Governor signature.
The bill reducing the Sheriff fees
in certain counties for dieting prison
ers from 80 cents per diem to 23 cents
was put in the Geld, cold soup. Some
differences between two houses as to
that bill wcre submitted to "a committee
Of free conference. which reported that
certain other counties be included.
REPRESENTATIVES. Of those counties, par
ticularly Charleston. kicked vigorous
lv, and tie friends of the bill said they
did not care to include underlts opera
tons counties which did not want 1t.
The report OF the committee upon the
bill was almost unanimously rejected:
which kills the bill.
Much of the time Of the Senate was
spent in ratification OF Acts.
Senators Mayfeld, Sloan and Bulst
were appointed q committee to wait
upon the Governor and inform hlm
that the Senate had finished its busl-
ness and was ready to adjourn # he
had no further communications to
make to ii. After Governor Evans
had signed the appropriation bills he
| informed the General Assembly that
he had no further messages for II &nd
| then the Senate adjourned sine die.
