The proceedings of the Legislature came very nearly being monotonous yes terday. In the Senate barely a whisper of eloquenoe or a scintilation of wit was aransed. The Senators plodded along in the prosy wsy of ordinary business, and failed to get up a sensation; but it gave business an energetio shove, and transacted a good deal of it • We liked that bill passed in the Sen ate, making it penal to sell liquor to mi- non without the written consent of pa rent or guardian. The faot is, the laws 'Regulating the sale of ardent spirits are too lax, and some reform is needed. If law cannot remedy the great evil growing out of the mmseller’s trade, it can, at least, ameliorate it; and to this end the Senate has made a judirious step. The House will, no doubt, concur. Both houses agreed upon a resolution to refer the matter of reform in Public Printing to the Committee on Printing. Henoe it is probable that this question will soon be disposed of finally. The House had under consideration the olaims of Hr. W. G. Pierce, of Cal houn oounty, to a seat in the body. It appears that the ballot box was stolen before the vote was counted; but a ma jority of the voters of the county signed a statement that'they had voted for Ur. Pierce. At one time it seemed probable this testimony would be sufficient to seat the applicant, but the question was sprung that the statement was not sworn to. This put a different phase upon the matter, and lessened Pierce’ chances for a seat Joiner, with his oustomary im pudence and ignorance, hoped the House would not refuso to seat Mr. Pierce be cause he was a Republican. This loyal streak was wiped out by Mr. Bush, who was authorized to say Pierce was not a Republican. The matter was not dis posed of, but will come up to-day as un finished business. In the House, on Thursday,'there was an election of Speaker, pro tern., when the House elected Maj.. Camming, of Riobmond, to preside in the absence of Hr. Speaker Smith. Our friend Dunlap Scott was voted for by Clower, the darkie from Honroe; but as that colored indi vidual found (as he supposed) that the "Mountain Sprout” hod no friends but himself, be made a speech about like this: “Hr. Speaker, I wants to change my name. [The Speaker suggested that he wanted to change his rote.] Yes, Sar; I wants to change my vote from Dunlap Scott to Cumming, of Richmond; be cause, Sar, I finds dat the gemman from Rome has no strength in the Legislature, and as I have been mistaken, I wants to change my vote.” $®“ Scotland is to havo another cen tennial anniversary, to oocnr on the 25th of January. The memory to behonored this time is that of James Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd. ■ -► ♦ ^ ' W In one of the Massachusetts Sen atorial Districts, Smith and Brown were the candidates, and Smith beat Brown just one vote. This is a decisive issue of the long mooted question of the relative numerical strength of the two families. The Washington correspondent of the Louisville Ledger is guilty of the superfluity of telegraphing that “Fish will not retire for the present ” There is no doubt that Qrant keeps him in for the “present” that Fish made him. J&'Tke Government offers to compro mise with one of its thieves—pension agent Calhoun, of Philadelphia. Snch a course may make our Goveanment square financially, but what is to become of the morality of the case ? The Baltimore American says: “Maryland will go for Grant in 1872;” but these Radical papers always could out-lie creation. Maryland will “go for” Grant just like the Baltimore indignation meeting “went for” him a few weeks ago. ^ The Philadelphia Press says “it is no longer safe to rob. The rogue fears the halter, because he knows it is no longer a threat but a fact” What must be the woe of poor Forney, to see thus passed away, the only inducement men ever had to become Radicals. The Enquirer tells how “the man who laughs ” does in Cincinnati: “He suddenly doubled himself up os though ho had been kicked in tbe stomach by steam jackass, and as his ponderous jaws swung open, while undergoing this each- inatory exercise, his face looked like the side of a barn with a couple of boards missing.” The New York Tribune is unwilling to admit that the negro legislators of South Carolina, have, in caucus, deter mined to repudiate both tbe old and new debts of the State. The Tribune has so long been accustomed to viewing the fol- lies committed by its party in tbe South, that is is unwilling to give its parti zans credit for a desire to do oven a single sensible act. The debt of South Caro lina will have to be repudiated ultimate ly, and even the Radical negroes know it It vu liftman, rich anil great, Firat fiddle in the State, Who couldn’t shut his eye To sleep nor alumber : wbjT And he set himself The doodleat of tricks For tho hoisting of Mr. Mordecai.

Through the ages, l ▲ earning to the world from the aky. With his carpet-sack to choke him, While the little boys to joke him, Holler: "How is that for (Mr. Mordec) m?’ Howl ye men of Belial I Heed, In your guUe and in your greed Of your neighbors’ neck and pelf. How a man may build a gibbet And thereupon exhibit Nobody but himself. L An Administration organ at Wash ington says: “It will require not less than ten thousand regular troops judi ciously distributed throughout the South ern States to insure a free and fair elec tion in those States in 1872. It may be necessary that Congress should increase the army.” Of course, by a “free and fair election” the organ means a majori ty for Grant. It ought to have said, for the sake of honesty, instead of the above, “it will require not less than ten thou sand regular troops, judiciously distribu ted, to carry the Southern States for Grant in 1872.” That is wliat it means. SUN-STROKES. Bald Murphy to Fenton: "Well, we hare met f ” Bald Fenton to Mnrphy: "We hare, you bet I" Bald Murphy to Fenton : "Can you go Qrant ?" Bald Fenton to Mnrphy : "No air, I can’t I” Bald Mnrphy to Fenton : "Would we’d ne’er met!” Bald Fenton to Murphy: •‘Get up and got.” And that—belisving I’m fully bent on— le the whole etory of Murphy and Fenton.

The Loniaville Commercial ssjs: “That was an enterprising man who started a paper-mill in Georgia, when he heard that A. B. Stephens was to write for a newspaper.” True, and the man now says it was the best investment of his life. Hr. Stephens’ connection with Thi Sun has so increased its circulation, that it fairly keeps his paper-mill a-going. SQL The old controversy about the authorship of “Tbe Beautiful Snow,” bids fair to be appropriately revived as the winter sets in. The controversy is opened by the appearance of a volume of poems, by J. W. Watson, in which “ The Beautiful Snow,” oocupies a lead ing position. The Courier-Journal assorts that the poem was written by Henry Fax on. Tho editor of the Courier-Journal has had a better opportunity to know who wrote the poem than any other man now living. Faxon is dead and cannot assert his claim to it. Nothing, there fore, is left hut for Watson to steal the merit of having produced it. If be has been as select in stealing the balance of the poems which make up the volume which he has published, the volume is unquestionably a clever one. However, if Hr. Watson wants to set himself right about this matter and establish his claim to tho authorship of the poem, let him write another of eqoal merit. This will satisfy the publio mind and giro him the proiso that he olaims. It is a little mat ter of justification that he owes to him self as much as to the publio. the store of Roberta, lost $4,000, insured for $2,000; J. M.

There is a needle factory in New Haven where the whole process is done by a single moohine, without the manual labor of any person. A coil of steel wire is pat in, the machine outs it off at the required lengths, it cuts the steel pieces consecutively, panohes the eye-holes, counter-sinks the eyes and grinds tho point—and in foot does everything until the needles drop out completely formed. Another machine picks them up and ar ranges them heads and points together, and a third peice of mechanism pats into paper. One of these machines occu pies no more space than an ordinary table, and each of them tarns out from 30,000 to 40,000 needles a day. Most of the needles were imported from England until a few years past. An unsophisticated parent in Ports- mouth, N.
