Columbia Feb S.-Tbe general as
sembly has decided that bicycles must
be carried by railroads as baggage. The
senate has passed bill to which the
railroads object, claiming that it goes
too far, and the house has passed bill,
which is strictly bicycle measure
Thus it is seen that one or the other of
these measures is almost certain to be
put upon the statute books.
The house began it's fourth weeks
work at 10 O'Clock yesterday morning
aud during the day good amount Of
work was disposed Of Several of the
more important measures relating to
the operation Of railroads were passed
to third reading Some 10 third
reading bills we're passed and sent TO
the senate. Tie most important rail
road bill passed was that relating to the
stopping of railroad trains at all sta
tions. The senate had killed similar
bill before. SO the house amended its
bill considerably so as not TO interfere
with vestibu!ed trains. Mr.. Thomas
second count concealed weapon bill was
passed with slight amendment as to
the disposition of the 6ues collected.
Mr.. Childs' prohibition bill was made

house received the senate concurrent
resolution fixing the 18th inst as the
day for 6nal adjournment, but there be-
Jog objections to its immediate con-
sideration it went on the calendar

senbly has got down to steady. hard
work and is clearing the calendar with
dispatch that briggs the day of ad-
iournmeut within the limits of the
month No more new bills caa be in
troduced in the house. save through
committees. and the calender wbe o
cleared will stay cleared.
Yesterday heavy days work was
done, great many bills were disposed
OF and numerous claims we're taken
from the calender.
The members of the house look
back with longing aud eovious eyes to
to the day when all representatives had
railroad passes in, their pockets and
could ride up aud down the road world
without end at the expenditure Of GOT a
cent. They wish for return of those
happy days, aud therefore bill repeal
ioe the anti-free pass bill was passed.
It is not thought possible that the
Senate will become party to the at
tempt to bleed the railroads by saying to
them in this manner that the Lsgisla-
tors are open to receive the courtesy Of
free passes.
Yesterday morning the concurrent
resolution to fix the day for adjourn
ment sine die was taken up aud there
was some indication of desire to fix
the 18th inst. fortnight hence, but
after some further discussion the house
decided to let the matter stand open for
a few days.
There vas quite an interesting de-
bate during the day over the question

tees serving as ex.oEicio members upon
boards in charge of State institutions S

SENATE.
The senate discussed two bills at
length on their second reading yester-
day. The first, the house bill requir-
ing the sinking fund commission to
lend funds to the several couoty treas
urers of the State for the use
of their counties 10 preference to
leading the same to other applicants for
such funds; the second, bill extend
ing the powers of the railroad commis.
sion to the telegraph and express COM
panies. The former passed without
very decided opposition. while the lat
ter came in for its foil share of discus
sion pro and con.
A house bill to prevent the employ
ment of other than convict labor on
any State farm was debated OF very
much the same lines IS in the house.
Messrs. Moses, Hay and Conpor spoke
of the dsmoraiiziog effect on free labor
Of having the State 30 compete with the
farmers. The State paid more for
labor than the formers could afford
and of course secured it.
Messrs. Archer. Norris and Gains
objected to the bill
Mr.. Morris also wanted to amend by
striking out the the proviso again st
hiring out copvicts except when there
vas no work on the State farms TO be
done By vote of 20 to 9 the
amendment was rejected and the bill
passed.

NIGHT SESSION.

The senate reconveued at 8 o'clock
aud it was agreed that all second read
ing bills should be passed to third
reading without debate. The calendar
was cleared with the exception of the
special orders, and one or two to which
there seemed to be serious objections on
the part of some of the senators.

very grounds set forth in the petition,
so that if the House should decide
that the protest against the electoral
vote has no foundation it will pre-
cIude the next Republican House
from unseating the Democratic Con-
gressmen who hold the prima facie
certificates of election. The debate,
therefore, is likely to be prolonged
aud exciting and of an intensely
partisan nature. Not only will this
be true of the House. but in the
Senate Senator Tillman may take
occasion to use his pitchfork upon
home materials. At any rate some
bitter scenes are quite possible
If the House, with its overwhelm-
ing Republican majority, should sus
tain the petition, and the Senate with
it's narrow, uncertain majority, shonld
take the opposite course. deadlock

which precipitated the famous cleo
toral commission. would follow. 1t
should be remembered that South
Carolina was one of the States then
in dispute, playing a conspicuous
part in that thrilling page Of political
history
Whatever the immediate result of
this attempt to discredit South Caro-
lina's vote may be, there is no doubt
that The programme, which is to be
thus dramatically inaugurated, is a
part of gigantic scheme on the part
of Southern Republicans to overthrow
the registration and election laws in
variors Southern States, where the
negro predomrnates, but where his
vote is not factor. This pro
