IK JKt cler of t laat !!., who ire. t tho Speaker drk aad aa jpaVeii tkai k hd ra hb haad a atatement from tha Seerttary of State, giving the names of lit members who baa been duly elected member of the IIoue for tha easioa of 1876-77 that according to law a quorum ef fifty sine would be necessary to org. ire nd transact business, and that he would proceed to call the roll ot tboae mem lera elect, and if a qaorttm answered, to organize tha lloeiae On the roll being called sixty member answered to their names, and a quorum wat declared present. There were fifty nine lie pub lican present and one Dcmeeeat Mr. Wallace, who, after a)awfng aaavered at the roll call, retired,- lioa. E. W. II. JIackey was elected apeaker.and Mr. O A. Jones, Clerk. This being done, the Senate waa notified of the orgaaixation of tbe House and its read i nee to pro ceed to business, and soon afterwards the House received a notification from the Senate that it also waa organized and ready for business. Then there was a joint committee. -appointed on the part of the Senate and the House to notify Governor Chamberlain that the Legislature bad been regularly organ ized and was ready to receive any com. munication he miht be pleased to lay before them. And thus was the Legislature of South Carolina organized. No trouble, no strife, no bloodshed, but strictly in accordance with law and in peace and in peace and good order. All tbe Dem ocratic Senators except those from tbe disputed counties of Edgefield and Lauren, took part in the organization of their body. When the Democratic members elect of tho House, "and those who had not received certificates of election also, left the State House, they repaired to the Armory of the Richland IlifleClub on Main street, which had already been prepared, and organized an independent House of Representatives on their own hook. They held their session with closed and guarded doors, aud none but the initiated an l truly faithful were allowed to know anything of their I Ian. Jl waa reported that every one who entered the State Housa was asked by tbe officer if be was armed, and if so he was disarmed or excluded. This is a osiiire falsehood. . We stood near the entrance for an hour and saw hew the thing worked, and during that time, when more than a hundred persons had passsd into the building, no person was questioned about his arms.uor were any refused admittance because of their having arms. On the organization of the House, uton Mr. Mackey being co ad acted to tho Speaker's chair, hs called on the doorkeeper to know if there had beec any applications from any person claiming to be members of the House, who had presented certificates of elec tion signed by the Secretary of State, wbo had been refused admittance to the House. The reply of the doorkeeper was not one. When the Democratic members re tire 1 Irom the State House, after having real their ''protect" at the main en trance the crowd of rowdies became very unruly and loud expressions to their desire and determination to force their wsy into the building, even in d. fi ince of the soldiers who guarded the d-fira, and seat tbe entire Democratic eligation r at ar.nie, and there is no doubt but what this programme would have been carried out had not General Wade Hampton, wbo was present, made them a speech in which be ap pealed to them to desist from their de signs, which wou'd, b said, certainly retult iu bloodshed and trouble, for which they ware not prepared. There were'at least three thousand armed men to b; seen on the street of Columbia on that day. Many of them were ia a sort of military uniform coperas colored pantaloon with a black stripe on the outside seam boot with pants stuck inside leather bells ia which were one or mora large pistols red ahirt with black trimming and many of them carrying hovie knives also. A more infiamabla crowd tn ruffian cover were seeau Tory waat ia squads aad were to bo aeoa all day ong oo the most pwblk thorooghfarew They xetaed bent on "doing something'' aad it was a froioeat remark aaroag them that if llaantoo woal oady aliew them, they woo hi "clean oot" the d a 1 yaakee soldiers ia short order. To such a niuh dd tab feeling ri aotoag lhm. particalarly after it w know a that they had Urea frustrated la their da igia of captariag the Seata lloaae, that i waa with di Scully that Uamatoa, Catler aad others of their leader, both by rpeechea from tho bakoaj of tSe Wheeler lloaw aad by fwrswaal appeal peeve led their threat beiag carried in to riecwtioa. It waa reported aad we thlak wil a great deal of troth, that there were a aamhwr a ariaaiU la tho city la wkachs were Hated waatiue of araaa aad aa.aaHi, aad that ia U treat of t clkaoa with the federal troop, many of the buildings on Main j stree; would iiaveatioruea protection io sharp shooters who would b&ve sent death to the "boys i i Hue" with but little probability o.'" lhe;rsc-iven being hurt. ft is ii it a fuel ihj.t ihU feeling of iu subordination, uarct and dts'if for revolution exists only in ihe hearts of a few hot he ado it is deep teated and wide spread, ai.tl is even more rampant than was secession in ISoO. Among men of intelligence and education among business men m weli sw ail other classes, i the sentiment felt and ex pressed thai Gov. Chamberlain had for feited his life and ought to loose it, and were it not that President Grant had in kindness to them, sent a few companies of soldiers there, the streets of Colum bia would have been deluged withhu man gore and many, many households would to-night have been in morning We thank God for Grant and we thank Grant for his prompt action. At another time ire will tell more about this thing but not now. The probability is that the stro"g arm of the United States government w ill be suG- cient to restraiu the turbulence for a while but for how longGodonly knows. The trouble in South Carolina is not over yet. "oppitKKD people." The Internal Revenue tax ot the last fiscal year was '110,970. Of this the southern States pnid only $10,C00,9G7, or not one fifth. This tax is levied to meet the expenses increased to carry on the war which the southern States created, and the uorth have to pay your fiflh of it! The national dclt inflicted upon the nation by those w ho got up the rebellion is about two thousand million, of which tha south will have to pay about four huudrcd million and the north about tlstien hundrc I million. The south ought in equity to have paid the whole war debt bo?aue they crea ted it. The southern Democrats ought at least to have the decency to keep quiet about their "oppressions. POOIt FELLOWS. Incase S(coundrel) J(nil) Tilileu is President there are So candidates for collector of customs, 101 for the post- office, -144 J for-ituspectors in the custom house, for clerkships in the post- ofllce, 3Cft (or route agents, and the candidates for poor Tom Smith's place are like the sands upon the seashore, beyond numbering. In case Mudler Tax Receipt Tilden prts in as Presi dent, wont there be a "rattling among the dry bones." We aw one fellow the other day, who has not had a decent garment on in ten years, come out in a brand new suit, from hat down; one of his Democratic brothers met hun and asked what had m.iuc tl.e'change? O, said he, I got these en my prospects of gcting in the custom house. We are sor ry for these aspirants, no- thr.t Gov. Hayes U elected President. How little the Democrats care to have an "hone&t ccuu." in L uisiana is mr.de tolerably obvious by the kinJ of tactics they are employing to discredit iu ad vance the procedure ol the Returning Board. Having exhausted their abuse of the board iL-tlf, they are now busily engaged in trying to break dowu the witnesses who will be tojminoiiod to tes tify to the bayonet iutiutidaliou which has rendered worthkrs the votes of sev eral counties. Trom the details of an interview, it will be seen that Hon. Stanley Matthews. f Cincinnati, has returnel from New Orleans with very decided opinions in regard to the far cical character of tbe so called elections on whese results the Deaiccrats depend for their majorities in Louisiana. A new emphasis is given to thee vsews by the tact stated by ieoial corres pondent, and presented with all need ful fullness an i force in hit dispatch. It is perfectly obvious that the true position of Louisiana as a Republican State will not only be fully vindicated, hot wil be viodicated after a fashion, will com ma ad the absent and approval of the fairmiaded portion of the Amer ican people. The reported Democratic majority in Loaisiana, bd on duplicate parish returns, official anl estimated, ball laoonahiac, and the irsull of the tfi rial couat will make it plain to every intelligent voter. It is an old eayioc thai "there b noknowia' who i e ecicd Guvnor, till after election." Thee b no knowing wbo has carried Loui?iaaa nalit tho ottieial return are canraascd, and they opa will be.

Dr. Verneuil. aft r Misie .fruitless attempts to relieve the dil'i- culty, resolve i in the .nt extremity to perform the operation ol gar.-tomv, that i, of cutting an pc-ning directly into the stomach. Beforehand tint greatest precautions were tak.n, and the sufferer, exhausted tor want .l triod, and feeing inevitable death lnire hun at aiiy rate, gave his consent t what ever they chose to do in the hope of re- levjng him.
