The Pattersonlans are trying to torn the tables apon their enemies. Patterson's ball to-day surrendered him to Trial Justice A. C. Blohmond, the select secretary of the grand council ol the Independent Order of United Brethren, who, upon examination, found bim absolutely Innocent of all charges whatever. In fact, the testimony before the trial justice waa such as to prove him a singularly im? maculate gentleman, who bad been most un? kindly persecuted. He was of course in? stantly discharged from all recognizances, and now warrants are said to be out lor the arrest of Ellison and Miller, who, lt is said, are j likely to-fare worse than Kirk and Hendricks. All this was excellently well played, but the most adroit move of all was the sending of an j Associated Press message to-night, to be pub? lished to-morrow In all the papers of tbe country, gravely announcing that tbe senator elect had vindicated himself completely from the bribery obarges, &c. It remains to be seen whethetber tbe United States Senate will be satisfied to seat Mr. Patterson, now that be has been covered with this very thin ?oat o? whitewash. PICKET.

Harrying Through the Financial ?lea Burcs-Petting Ready for the Holi? days-New Schemes Proposed and Old Measures Ventilated. [FROM OOH SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, Deoember 16. A considerable quantity of important busi? ness was transacted to-day by each branch of ^be General Assembly, and a disposition 1B now plainly manifested to rush through at least some of tbe most prominent of the finan? cial measures now pending belore them. TBE HOBT IMPORTANT of these measures is, ot course, the bill l authorize a general tax levy tor State ac county expenses ci the year commencing Ni vember 1, 1872, and fj'r the deficiency froi the year ending on that date. This bill, f has been already reported, has passed tb House and was received In the Senate lat Saturday In the shape In which it was repon ed by the House committee on ways an meanB, with a levy of five mills for State poi poses and two mills for schools, flv mills for d?ficiences and three mill for county purposes, or fifteen mill in all. The bill was referred on Saturday t the Senate finance committee, and this moro lng lt was returned by that committee, wit the recommendation that the third item (to deficiencies) be Increased from five to sevei m ilia,an d "that two hundred and fifty thouaan dollars of the amount received by the levy li this section shall be set apart for the payment o school deficiencies, and for no other purpose If so much be necessary." This proposition If adopted, will bri a? the amount of theta: up to seventeen mills on the dollar, whlcl was precisely the amount of the levy made b; the late comptroller-general, Dr. Neagle, en Joined by Judge Melton. It ls said that th? state superintendent of education made i strong showing before the finance commute* of the necessity of this deficiency levy foi school purposes, and it ls probable that In th< debate upon the bill, which ls expected in th? Senate to-morrow, somo interesting develop menta ol the financial transactions ot the pasi .year may be made. A NEW COURTHOUSE JOB. A proposition was introduced to-day, lr both branches of the Assembly, to authorize the erection of a new courthouse In and foi the County of Bichland, to be located, ol course, at Columbia, and to provide for a spe? cial tax levy in this county of two and a hali mills to pay for lt. A petition to this effect from tbe county commissioners was presented In the Senate by Senator Nash, and in the House by Representative Thompson; and a bill to authorize tho 'building of the new courthouse was introduced by me latter. The petition Includes an estimate of ways and means, which puts the cost of the new build? ing at $35.000, which 1B proposed to be pro? vided for by the sale of the present court? house lot for $18.000, and the lew of two and a half milla, which will produce $'17,000. THE ATLANTIC AND SEABOARD RAILROAD. The Senate committee on railroads to-day reported favorably upon the bili to amend tbe charter of the Charleston, Georgetown and Con way boro' Railroad Company, but recom? mending that sections 2, 4, 5 and 7 be stricken out. This bill proposes to consolidate the railroad named with otber corporations, to form the "Atlantic and Pacific Seaboard Rail? way Company." The sections which were re? commended to be stricken out provide respec? tively as follows: Section 2 describes the manner ot electing the first board of directors and subsequent boards; Section 4 fixes the capital stock of the consolidated company at 110,000,000, to be increased at discretion; Sec? tion 5 authorizea the company to issue mort? gage bonds, and Section 7 provides that any sity, township or county Is authorized Jo sub? scribe to the capital Block of the company J pon a popular vote to that effect.* These seotions were all stricken out, and the bill is thus amended waa passed to Ita third reading. THE SPARTAN3URO AND ASHEVILLE RAILROAD )lll was also reported back with Important imendmenls, which were laid over for con? sideration to-morrow. These amendments iropose to put it in the power of the Assembly io amend or repeal the oharter when granted; .o provide for the manner of determining tb? right of way according to the general act upon this subject approved September 22, 1868, and to provide "that the work, for the Hcedutlon whereof said company 1B Incorpo? rated, shall be commenced within three years ifter the first day of January next, and be completed within five years after Its com? mencement." DELINQUENT TAX SALES. Senator Hope, Conservative, of Lexington, lo-day introduced an Important bill, entitled a bill to repeal the first section of an act enti? tled "An act to amend an act emitted 'an act providing for the assessment and taxation of property,' passed September 15.1868, and all acts amendatory thereto," paaaed March 12, 1872. This is a long title, and the bill Itself requires a somewhat extended explanation. The Legislature of 1868 passed the general ;axlaw named above, and provided, lo sec? tions 108,114,11C, 117 and 123 of the act, that iellnquent Taxpayers should be allowed to re? lee m their landa at any time within two years liter they had been sold. The General A s? sembly of 1871-72, however, passed, among he laat acta of the session, a bill which limi? ted this right of redemption to a period of ninety days after the sale, required the delin? quent to Institute steps for the redemption of ils property within thirty days of the Bale, tod repealed the provision whereby property or which less than one-fourth ot Ita value ?vas offered ut auction, was required to be bid n by the Stale. The bill now Introduced In he Senate proposes to repeal all the amend neals mentioned, and leave the law, in these -espects, In the same poBltlon as when passed n 1863. THE LICENSE LAW. The Senate committee on finance to-day re j or i ed favorably upon the bill to repeal the kate licenee law, passed last win ter, but reoom nended an amendment providing that the re >eal shall not take effect until the 1st of April, 873. The excuse tor this is that moat of the lersons coming under the provisions of the Ml have already paid up to that date, and li he act were to be repealed now the State vould have to refund to those persons the imount they have paid for the unexpired lane. This bill has already passed the House, ind, with thia amendment, it ls probable that t will pass the Senate, and sweep away a law vhlch has proven very odioua lo most persons nterested. THE HOUSE FURNITURE JOB. 'xhe matter of the payment for the gorgeous iirnlture and appointments ot the hall of the louse of Representatives, which was bought inder the management of ex-Representative Dennis, who has since been more generally mown as Upholsterer Dennis, has been left is a legacy by the late Assembly to torment heir new successors. A proposition to make mmedlate payment of these claims waaia roduced to-day in the two houses by Senator Vhittemore and Representative Bowley In .he shape of a Joint resolution, the full text ol ivhlch la aa follows: Be it resolved.

Slate treasurer shall pay no notes or certificates purporting to have been Issued for the said purpose other than those above enu? merated. A anm of money sufficient to pay the amounts apeclQed in the foregoing Beetloo, to? gether with the interest thereon, is hereby appropriated for that purpose. THE PUBLIC PRINTING. Both Houses have to-day been Incidentally engaged In the discussion of the question of the payment for the prlutlnz ordered by the General Assembly in the pasf, and the regula? tions to govern such work In the future. In the Senate the House concurrent resolution restricting the publication in newspapers, at the expense of the State, to acta of public character and general Interest, waa agreed to ? with the addition ot a proviso ' that in ilia Judgment ot the clerks of both Houses, or whoever may be charged with the publication ot the acts of the General Assembly, lt shall be deemed necessary," and the resolution was returned to the Houae for concurrence In the amendment. The House to-day adopted the following Joint resolution lu accordance with the recom? mendation of the committees on printing and on ways and means: Be it resolved. SECTION 1. That the snm of two hundred and flity thousand dollars, if so much be necessary, be, and Is hereby, appro? priated for the payment of printing claims of the Republican Printing Company for work ordered by the General Assembly at the ses? sions of 1870-71 and 1871-72, SEO. 2.

The two houses still disagree as to the ques? tion of paying the attaches during the hoi ld ay recess. Tbe House warns to do. so, and the Senate does not, and neither appears disposed i to give way. The House to-day received a , message from tbe Senate insisting upon the proviso that they should not be paid, and re- 1 turned an equally emphatic message Insisting jpon its relusal to concur In tbe proviso, but , t ls expected that a oommlttee of oanferenoe , viii be appointed to-morrow, and a compro? mise effected.

Io the South Atlantic and Gulf States north? erly to easterly winds, higher pressures, clearing and colder weather will prevail to? morrow. THE HOLIDAY SEASON. A STROLL THROUGH. THE DOMAINS OF SANTA CLAUS. Christmas Present? and Chrlitmas Cheer. We resume the theme o? Christmas and all Ita festivities, gaieties, passions and social joye. What would the world be without Christmas ? In the joy and jollity of the sea? son men lay aside the feelings that direct them In the struggle of business, and generosity, charity, and social, patern.fl and iraternal at" tachmentB, which are enshrined as the cherished virtues of religion, predominate. Bo if Christmas has the buoyancy o? youtb, lt has the generosity of hnmsnlty and charity; li lt has the Indiscretions of excess, it has the piety of friendship and affection; and if lt has the frivolity of festivity, lt has the truthful? ness of enthusiasm, the Innocence of mirth. AU the gentler, all the belter Impulses of nature are In the ascendant at this festive period, and with all Its excess there are thousands of men who are better men during Its joyous days than they are at any other period of the year. And now we come back to the goods, waree and seasonable things presented in the ad? vertisements in the columns ef THE NEWS. As Delmonlco's name ls all potent in New York as an indicator ol first-class edibles, pre? pared In first-class style, so In Charleston with the magic name of Tully. Juliet when she Inquired of Borneo "What's In a name,' should have known Tully. In fact, old Capu? let should have known Tully before he gave the feast to which Bornee went without an In? vitation. Tully la a mystic name. A synonym for everything that can tempt the appetite and make even lovers cease to sigh, nor longer refuse to eat and be happy. Tully rep? resents the most tantallzlngly-made mince pies, turkeys such as Falstaff-would have en? joyed on Christmas, choice game, artistically made pastry, smooth and -tempting Jellies and blanc manges shaking with a laugh of satis? faction at the conceit of their own sweetness. Ia short, Tully ls the man with whom confi? dential communication mnBt be exchanged ere success can be assured for the Christmas lestlvltiee. At B. H. McDowell's, corner King and Lib? erty streets, housekeepers can be supplied with every description of china, glass and crockery, suitable for the Christmas holidays and for all times and occasions. To take time by the forelock, literally as well as figuratively, ls to stop in at F. Kolde wey, No. 302 King street, and buy a watch for a Christmas present for your wife or daugh? ter, or a clock tor the dining-room. At No. 209 King street will be found the celebrated new and Improved Wheeler ? Wil? son Sewing Machine, with which stockings should be darned ere being hung for Santa Claus. A wide-awake establishment ls that drug store of Dr. H. Beer's, 131 Meeting street, which our readers sometimes may perchance have noticed mentioned In our advertising columns. This store bag undergone consider? able Improvements during the past few months, and lt looks as-alee and bright now ? anew pin. Without wishing our readers any harm, we may ask them to visit this lamons drug store, for there are many arti? cles there kept for sale that do not strictly ap? pertain to the materia medica. Dr. Baer'a co? logne Is widely celebrated, and his stock o? Ine English tooth-brushes, of elegant French perfumery, and ot the various knick-knacks that belong to thia department, ls varied and complete. The Doctor ls enterprising and wide-awake. He knows the value of printers' nk, and invests largely therein. It will re? pay any one to visit this well-appointed es? tablishment, for here you will be Bare to find whatever you nay be In search of In this line. There la a time for all things. A time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to buy and a time to Bell, a time to BOW and a time to reap; cut ere the lime for sowing arrives, comes the lemand for a good plough. Such are the ploughs of Avery A Sons, now for sale at Hart ? CO.'B, together with an endless array of agricultural Implements, and everything In the hardware Hue. Hart A Co. are veterans n their line of business, and their goods are il way s the best of their kind. An all Important Ingredient, in fact a Bine jua non In a good old-fashioned Christmas punch, 1B Bourbon whiskey. Now ls the time, therefore, for dealers to call on H. Klatte ? 3o., whose fine brand of Gold Dust Kentucky B as pure as can be found. Messrs. Elatte & 3o., we need not add, have their usual good stock of groceries. Messrs. Ellas lt Brothers, No. 368 King street, are offering extra inducements, dis? cosing, at reduced prices, ot their steck of loots and shoes. The silver-tipped shoe, manufactured in Philadelphia, is a specialty with the Elias Brothers. In lime of peace we should prepare for war, ind In good weather we should make pro? vision for a rainy day. Hence the necessity cf calling at Johnson's, No. 301 King street, where a good and cheap umbrella can always ce procored. . The man who hath no music in himself, nor s not moved by concord of sweet sounds, ls lt for treason, stratagems and spoils, but he ?vho has an air for music can find first-class llano fortes and cabinet organs at Slegllng's salesrooms In Beauialn, one door lrom King street. The choicest teas and wines of the finest vintage can be procured at extremely reduced erices, at N. M. Porter's, No. 236 King street. Santa Claus has entered Into copartnership with McLean, whose store la to be temporarily removed. The new firm, Santa Claus, Mc? Lean ? Co., are selling off toys very cheaply. Bhawls, cloaks, lace collars, kid gloves, &c, can be found of best qualities and or all de? scriptions, at Ufferhardt's on King street, op? posite the Academy of Music. Hayden's stands like an old land-mark on King street, corner of Hasel, and there can he found Jewelry, Ac, of all styles and every price. Mr. B. K. Neufvllle can always be found at his store, No. 107 East Bay, and has on band a fine assortment o? stationery, fancy and plain, and some gold pens that are worth trying and worth buying. At the corner of King and Be au fain streets stands Whllden'a, where a bewildering array of Christmas presents. In the shape of Jewelry and fancy articles of vertu, tempts purcha? sers.

Milling's ?ur?i?ure store, No. 444 King street, near John, tbongh a little distance up-town, la worth tlie seeking out. For though the atore la high up, the rent la low dows, and hence the furniture can be Bold cheaper. At Mil? ling's can be found everything In the furniture line, from a small cradle to a large coffin. It waa at thia establishment Mr.Toodles must have bought his cheap coffin; in fact, the burial caskets are BO cheap there that lt wera really an Inducement for a man to die for the sake of the coffin discount.

One Wh Ito Ulan KU led, and Three Ne groes Wounded. . A fight ocourred in Orangeville last Sunday, between EI number of whites and negroes, in which Clementine Gullodge, a white man, was shot and Instantly killed, and three negroes were wounded. Dr. J innings, a white man, who waa on his horse near the scene at the lime, but who was not concerned In the di fa? culty, reel ved two st ota through his coat, but fortunately neilin r ball Inflicted any wound upon his person. His horse waa killed under bien by another shot. About twenty five Bhota were fired altogether. Tne negroes concerned in the a Sa r made their esoape. The dlfflcily had tts origin In au event which occurred Dome time ago. It seems that about two- weeta aluce a tarty of young men went to tue shop ot a colored ahoemaker In Q rani ie vi ile, and spoke to bim about a pair of boola he was making for one them. Tlie negro said that they twere Dot finished, One ol the party then ploked up an old boot, and tn a playful manner struck the negro two or three tinana over the shoulders with lt. The old negro took no-offence at the act, but others of his color who saw lt finally persuaded him to take out a warrant against the youog; men. The case had not been set? tled up to Sunday, and considerable ill-feel lne bad grown up between the young men and the negroes and white Radicals, who had persuaded the shoemaker to lake out the warrant. Sunday the same party ot young men were in Woolly Town, a suburb ol Gran? tville, when the negroes commenced firing upon them. The young men returned the fire, and the fight lasted for several minutes, with the result above stated. It ls said that Qulledge, who was killed, bad nothing to do with the c ld cully.

The Origin of the Fire a Mystery-The Individual Lone*, ?nd How Far they were Covered by Imucanc c. An extra from toe Beporter office gives the following particulars ol a great flre.whlch oc? curred In that town on Sunday : Cheater has been called upon again to add her name to the long catalogue of placea laid waete by Are. Black and smoking ruins mark to-day the spots that on yesterday were busy with the hum o? enterprise and trade The fire was discovered by Mr. Henry Letaon, and the alarm given a little after four o'clock this i morning. It was at the rear eud ot the store ot Mr. Plnkston Nail, and had made too much progress to be successfully resisted at the lime the discovery was made. The build? ing being a very old wooden one, was en? veloped lo flames in a few moments, and the fire reaching some half a dozen kegs of powder that were la the store, aa explosion took place, which rent ihe house asunder and scattered the burning brands on all the buildings around. To the east of Mr. Nail's store, and separated from ll by an alley-way often feet In width, stood tue store of Messrs I. L. Gunhouse & Go. This was also a very old building, and lt caught and burned so rap? idly as to lead many who were early on the ground Into the error that the Ure originated therein. Next on the east was "the old tin shop," owned by Mr. J. J. McLure and Cap? tain J. L. Agurs Jointly, and occupied by MessrB. J. E. Curtis A Co. This was licked up by the flames in a lew minutes, and the large brick building adjoining it on tile east, owned by Captain J. Lb Apure, and occupied by Messrs. Wylie, Boddy ? Agura, stood next in the path of the devourer. On account of Its cloBe proximity lo the tin ahop, and the fact of lt being covered with Bblngles, all Idea of attempting to save lt was abandoned, and the efforts of the firemen were directed to the protection of the house ot Mr. J. L. Chambers, the bank and the building occupied by Mr. E. J. West and Mrs. PasBallalgoe. In these efforts they were successful, and the further progress of the fire ID this direction was stayed. Im? mediately adjoining the store of Mr. Nail on the west was a email wooden house owned by Mr. John McCauthren, and occupied by him as a confectionery atore. It and all Its con? tents were soon consumed. Adjoining ibis building stood the large house on the corner belonging to the estate ot Major John Ken? nedy. Tofs was occupied by the family of the deceased as a residence, and by Mr. J. W. Bothroofc as a dry goods store, Messrs. Bourke A- Tinsley as a bakeshop, and Mr. S. 0. Kaufman as a dry goods store. Across tba street from this building stands the large and elegant Iron front hotel recently completed by Messrs. Smith & Mel? ton. The doors and windows of this house were badly scorched and blistered, and (ts de? struction prevented only by the untiring ex? ertion of the Stonewall Company. On the op? posite side o? the cross street from the Ken? nedy b'.!'dlng stands a very large wooden house, o,..iad by Mr. E. M. Shannon, and oc? cupied by Mr. D. A. Brimeras a hotel and Mr. G. A. Drennan as a family grocery store. To save this building, and thereby prevent the destruction of a large portion of the town, called out the skill and exertion of the fire de? partment, and of the vast crowd collected at the fire. The Champion Hook and Ladder Company covered the roof, and worked with unflagging zeal, while the Stonewall played away on the aide and end of the building. Their Joint labors were crowned with success, and the march of the destroyer In a westerly direction was thus stayed at the croas street. Tte origin of the fire ls not and most proba? bly will never be known. The hour In the morning, however, ut which lt occurred, to? gether with the fact that the torch had been applied to Mr. Nail's store twice previous to the fire In the last two yearn, would point with almost certainty to tbe bund ot'tbwlnooodtary as the cause of the disaster. Though the blow la a very serious one to some of the sufferers, and ls a calamity to the town, lt Is a great re? lief to know that the major part of the lose falls upon solvent Insurance compaules. The building belonging to the estate of Major Jbbn Kennedy waa Insured for $2500 In the Georgia Home. The family lost furniture, clothing, dec. to the probable value ol $2600, uninsured. S. C. Kaufman Insured for $1000 In the Lon? don and Liverpool and Globe; por? tion of his stock saved. Tinsley & Bourke saved their stock. E. M. Shannon not In? sured; house damaged, probably, $200. G. A.

McNloob. Insured for $1000 In the Georgia Home; considerable loss from removal and water. B. McElroy, loss $170 In cash and the custom work in hie tailor shop. His sewing machin?e were saved. Archibald Hogg loat all the contents of his tailor shop; value not ascertained. Both of these last named parllea occupied rooms In tba Becood story ot Agurs'a building. Other loases were Incurred by parties removing their gooda and furniture from buildings sup? posed to be In danger, but we have no means of arriving at any lust estimate o? their amount. This ls the third destructive fire that has swept over the hill In three years, and now only four of the old landmarks of the business portion of TJneater are left standing-the . storehouse formerly occupied by McLure A Harris, the residence of James Graham, the Shannon house, many years ago the property of George Kennedy, and the house on the corner, occupied by B. M. Cross. These are the only buildings left out of the many tbat crowned the hill twenty years ago. Disaster In the past has only served to call forth all the latent energy of our business men, and nerve them for a sterner struggle with tbe flokle goddess. So lt will be again. Before many months pass away, the altea now marked by smouldering embers will be occupied by large and costly warehouses. While all classes, colors and professions vied with each other In their endeavors to save property and stop the progress of the flames, we feel that we are doing no more than Justice In noting especially the faithful services of the garrison at this post. Officers and men were promptly on the ground, and wherever work waa needed, whether on the house-top, in the stores or at the brakes, there they were to be seen working with a hearty good-will, and dolug all that men could io. They have earned and they receive without stint the gratitude of the whole community. ANOTHER JOURNALIST GONE. RICHMOND, VA., December 17. Edward A.
