' \ Ot th* members of the present Legis
Motk. from WcMsnd, it scorns that
Beverly Nash arid Sam. Thompson are
disposed to bV pftminsnt, ;' Simons and
^"Jlt* frf^frfogfr ?gffWt And as
"?ls aa they are modest. No doubt
I' that they ar? unfit for the work
ff tafcHtai 4hey remain ?tient, and
^tr?ttkemselves.with voting perhaps
s? they deem beut for the public interests,
or at least the colored public intexeets.
But not so with Nash and Thompson.
We notice that in thc matter of the Ab -
contested election case, Nash
ith bitterness, abd waa inclined
io* He wanted to throw
dirt the Democratic member elect-Mr.
Oothran-and to accomplish tho purpose
be, the said Beverly, waa willing "for the
occasion ito easmp outside af the Constitu?
tion"-^ Idea got from thad Stevens.
So, too, with Coroner, Magistrate, and
Representative Thompson; who, though
no great carpenter or musician, is doubt?
less a better carpenter And musician than
law-maker. - Ble proposes to extend the
limits of this city. Tho oity is already
both broad and long, with empty lots
nore numerous than occupied ones.
Already it extends one mile in each
direction from the State House. Already
we can scarcely keep up tho fonce. Yet
bf hi? own. notion, without any intima?
tion of a. publio want, he rises in his
Mm iv'tfais member from Richland-and
proposes to extend considerably the
limits of this city. Let ns ask now,
what is tho motivo of this move? Did
she publio good inspire the thought?
T^? behove not. Thompson is simply at
one of the tricks of bis party. This is
a radical game. Columbia has a Demo?
cratic Conn oil end mnnioipal govern?
ment. Here Is where the boot pinches.
Thompson and his sympathizers want to
extend the area ot tho voters. Thomp?
son is a fisher of voters, and of colored
voters,'and he wapts so to throw his net
as to haul in a large draught of black
Ask.
It is proposed, in offoot, to renew in
Columbia the scones enacted in Charles
ton/ Thompson wants to have a bear
garden here, as in tho "city by the sea."
If he would refer this, matter to Parson
Gain, we are sure that ho-will advise
Representative Thompson to let the mat
ter alone. Here, in Colombia, we do
not want any member of the City Co a neil
to shoot at his nephew, and, what is
worse, to miss him. But, to speak se
riously, it is to be hoped that the Legis?
lature will decline to entertain the pro
posed ohange. It is unoalled-for. It is
a party move, and the Legislature eau
not regard it its duty to do more than to
lay the bill upon the table. Hereafter
it may be well to extond the limits of the
city; but not so now. Let us improve
and build up what we now have, before
opening new fields. The moro consoli
dated the business of the city is, the bet?
ter it is for trade, and within certain
limits, the Same principle holds for
private residences. Columbia ueeds fill?
ing up, and not expansion. Her bones
shosnow. Put fat upon her as sho now
stands. Give symmetry to her aa we now
find her, and it will be bettor for all par?
ties. If Sam. B. Thompson, Esq., is
anxious to got at the business of expan?
sion/ let him enlarge bis own mind, and
he will find work enough for his life-time,
even allowing that he will live to a green
old age. We have not yet seen the bill
on the snbjeet of extending the city
limits. Upon getting it, wo shall have
more to say on the same subject. In the
meantime, let those who advocate the
measure give their reasons therefor. We
would like to know upon what grounds,
nominal or real, the measure is put.
The New York Times and Baltimore
Sun refer in a somewhat ironical tone to
the resolution adopted by the Legisla?
ture of this State, with reference to
Cuba. We thought it was generally
known that a large majority of the mem?
bers of that body belong to what is known
as the "trooly loll" party; and the origi?
nator of she resolutions is a black mac,
who hails from Massachusetts. The
"rebels" of this State agree with the
New York Times-they have seen enough
of war.
Tan CONG AUBE Rrvxn BRIDGE.-We
notice that a bill is before tho Legislature
on this snbjeot. We believe it is pro
posed to bay the interest of the stock
holders and'to make-it a free- bridge. It
is eminently desirable that this bridge be
rebuilt. With our own eyes we saw it
fired and consumed, and we would like
now to see it go up again, either by pub?
lic or private means. Let the work be
done.

THE VIRGINIA DKLSGATION.-Among
tho Virginia Congressional delegation,

negro, who was elected to represent one

Washington special says: "As there is
little or no donbt but that the full dele?
gation will be admitted, he will of course
take his seat with the rest"

aelf-defenoe. ..The wounded boy ex?
pressed the desire, that his assailants
should be prosecuted. Magistrate Thomp?
son committed thc accused to jail.
THB JUDICIARY.-The Legislature will
have to supply the vacancy on the bu
preme Bench, and it is contemplated to
create an additional circuit, to consist of
Beaufort and its neighboring Counties.
Jndge Orr and Judge Boozer are pre?
sented by their friends for the Supreme
Court. In oase of an election of a Cir?
cuit Judge to supply a vacancy occasioned
by the ol o va ti on of either of these Judges
to the Supreme Court, Colonel C. W.
Miller ia spoken of as a proper man for
the oironit. He is a native of Sumter, a
graduate of tho South Carolina College,
and reputed to be a sound lawyer, a good
scholar, and an honest, impartial man
in every way qualified for the position.
The country wants qualification for office.
JUDGE GEORGE S. Bur AN.-We were
pleased to mset with our friend, Judge
Bryan, of the Federal Court, now in
session here. Judge B. is discharging
the duties of his high office with accus?
tomed acceptability to tho law, the law?
yers and the jurymen. South Carolina
is fortunate in having one like Judge B.
in this position-a man alive at once to
what is doe to the Federal Government
and the people of South Carolina, and
at all times disposed to look with indul?
gence upon man's frailty, and ever ready,
as far as be can, to temper justice with
mercy. There is one salient peculiarity
that has ever marked the administration
of Judge Bryan. Although a Union
mau always, and one who never could
see wisdom in the Confederate move?
ment, yet he bas shown a respect for the
views of those who thought differently,
and hence, he has never outraged the
sensibilities of our people, .or deemed it
his duty to prononnce anathemas either
apon the "Lost Cause" or its noble de?
fenders. It is this that entitles Jndge
B. to the regard and respect even of "ex
rebels," and hereafter, when time shall
have whitened his locks, it will be a
pleasing reflection to him and to L?E
friends, that though a Federal Judge, he
did not lose the consideration of native
born Carolinians-naturally no lovers oi
a Government that, under its radica]
auspices, had outraged their sensibilitiec
and ignored their rights.
CRUMBS.-We learn that the Presi?
dency of a Florida Bailroad has beet
tendered to our fellow-citizen, James G
Gibbes, Esq. Whilst we desire thii
gentleman to advance his interest, \v<
hope that Columbia may not lose i
citizen who stood with cheerful counte
nance and open hands amid Sherman'i
ruins, and who since has been as usua
unselfish and enterprising. We can il
afford to loso so useful a man, and w<
don't think he will leave us.
The horse advertised in the Puoxn
on Sunday morning as stolen, was re
oovereu by Mr. Taylor yesterday. Shi
had been carried off by a freedman
who, finding he was in danger of arrest
turned the animal loose about sixteei
miles below Columbia. The Winnsbor?
News and other papers which were re
quested to copy the advertisement, wil
please omit it.
A. C. Kaufman, Esq., the Charlestoi
broker, "spreads himself" in this morn
ing'u PnczNrx. Any of our citizens whi
have business in his line to attend to
are requested to give him a call.
Messrs. Bryan Sc McOarter have pre
sen ted us with the January numbers o
Peterson's Ladies' National Magazine am
Qodey's Lady's Book-both of which ar
rich in fashion plates, etc.
The feasibility of tho construction o
a street railroad in Columbia is beini
discussed; and we hope soon to be abl
to record that active steps have bee:
taken in the matter. Light one-hors
cars-the driver also acting as cou
doctor-could be pnt on; and we ar
confident that liberal subscriptions wool
be made by the business men of on
oity to carry out the projeot.
Dr. E. C. Yoong and Isham Cox
Quakers-held a religions meeting at th
Washington Street Churob, last night

A number of army ornoo rs attached t

THE LAST Gorro? BTOKY.-Wo loara
that Col. C., ot this oity, who planted
huy?HKE! mttoiM-1?$rab#mit ?t?
ti* binds enough 4b pi?*it*lL His
nlT trw, as reporte^ th^t t^a colton
piftceriihad to clfrnb the cotton stalks
in allasses. As a general mle, a six
footer hand could easily reach the cotton
bolls with a ten foot pole. We were
struck with the Colonel's ingenious
method of picking cotton on his Shang?
hai stslks. At the end of his ten foot
rod a wooden hand waa attached ; to the
Anger a of tnfs hand a cord was tied, and
upon this cord being pulled by tho man
below, the said fingers would contract,
and dexterously applied to the open
bolls, they would most beautifully ex?
tract the "fleecy cotton,"
"Spotless as descending snow."
Who will say either that Southern soil
is not productive, or that Southern
genius is not inventive? If any, speak,
for him have we offended.
ORATION AT TUE UNIVERSITY.-This
evening, in the Chapel, within the walls
of the South Carolina University, an
oration will be delivered before the Lite?
rary Sooieties of the University. Colonel
W, B. Wilson, of York, will be the
speaker. We advise the publie to at?
tend, and we hope that tho intelligent
ladies and gentlemen of our oity will
greet the speaker with a large audience.
We have heard Colonel Wilson upon
more than one occasion. It will be an
intellectual treat to hear him, we feel
sure. Colonel Wilson is one of the moat
prominent lawyers of Yorkville-is a
whole-souled Carolinian-an accom?
plished gentleman, and a speaker of
earnest, persuasive and attractive de?
livery. Tho students could not have
made a better selection, and we shall bo
pleased to hear him upon the theme of
the evening.
