As has neen seen by tho general appoal of tho Executive Committee, tho Board of Trus? tees of the Columbia Femalo Collego have determined* to ro-opon that institution in October next-provided a sufficient sum of monoy c.m bo rained to pay off existing in? debtedness and purchase necessary furniture. As tho city of Columbia will bo pre-eminently benefited by tho re-opening of the College, it has been deemed not inappropriate to ad? dress to her citizens especially au appeal for euch assistance as will insure the success of iii is most important enterprise The Columbia Femalo College is essentially au institution of Columbia, whoso name lt hears, and the city should no longer consent to have it remain in its present abnormal condition. If put into operation, it would contribute in no small degree to tho growth aud prosperity of the city. It would bring, at utated pei leds, largo numbers of visitors from all seciions of tho State and tho South, and would be tho means of disbursing annually in your midst as much as $100,000. Another great attraction would be added to your rising city, aud another step bo taken in the march of prosperity and wealth. All departments ot business would feel the new impetus gb/ep, aud the way would be openod to other and greater enterprises. These considerations thus briefly alluded to must address themselves forcibly to Ibo citizens of Columbia; while to the State at large the Trustees guarantee that no efforts will bo spared to make the Collego a ti rsi cUss seat of learning in all respects-ono ol which the whole South may well bo prtsud. The Trustees, in order to rake tue neces? sary funds, have adopted tho following me? thods: 1 To is-.uo bonds of tho Collego iu sums ol $100, ruo ni og ti fo yearn, without interest. 2. tty scholarships. 3. Uy donations. Tho uodeisigned, Ezccntivo Committee on behalf of the Trustees, earnestly appeal lo the cit ?zens of Columbia for help in this noble enterprise. By your interest in tho canse of female education-by your interest in tho en? larged advantages and growth of your city wu appeal o you to como forward now and start the Columbia Female Colli go once moro on its career of usefulness.

PltOl-o?i?l?NAL RtSPBBSBNTATION.-'With all deference to the Columbia PHONIX, wo beg to say that we shall not cease oar efforts to prevail npon the present Legis? lature to adopt the "good und just go? vernmental principio" of minority rep? resentation. We have a doable tunk to perform, viz: to punish tho public rob? bers who hold high carnival at the capi? tal, aud to prevent stealing and insure 11 butter government in the future. The Himplo expulsion of Scott & Co. may only ead iu turning the Statu over tn a i now sot of plunderers, who will begin j the alphabet of crimo from the begin j ning ut our expenso.

TJSOIBTXITTVB MATTERS.-The time of the Hoo.se waa consumed, yesterday, in, the discussion of the special message of the Governor and the report of the spe? cial joint oommittee, appointed last winter to investigate the books, ?co., ol the Finanoial Agent and the State Trea? surer, which came up as the unfinished business of Monday. Byas, pf Orangeburg, led off, and in Aided upon the HonBe, for two and-a half hours, a rambling and stupid ha ran gue, in his usnal style. He assum?e to be the champion of Gov. Scott, an< undertook, as best he could, to defeni him against the startling disclosure made by Bowen, on Monday. H hoped, he said, that in his remarks h would not so far forget his character, a a gentleman, as to indulge in snob vu! garity as had fouled the lips of the gen tleman who so perfidiously and mali cionsly attaoked the Governor, all c whoso charges, said he, were alike ur true with the vile slander that he (Byui had received 812,000 for his vote on certaiu question lost winter; and he ai sumed it to be no leBs a principle < truth than it was of law-that "falaus i ?nus, fahu8 in iotol" They had lie about him and must have lied about tl Governor, also. As to the apparent discrepancy, sa he, in the report of the State Treasure upon which was founded the al lega tic hy the committee of an over iRsne 36,311,000 in (ho bouda of the Stat the sum and substance was jost thi That the Treasurer had reported 83,20( 000 of bonds as having been sold, ai the balance bad merely been hypott cated for lor.nB, which, unless he h studied the English language in val was quite a different matter from iesui the bonds. Referring to the bonds tt had been issued to redeem the $500,0 j of bills receivable, aud to raiBO t 181,000,000 to pay the interest on t publio debt, the Aot, said Byas, does r uay how many bonds the Goverr might issue, ile might have issued house full, if so mool? had been nee sary, to seoure the required sum mouey; and the Governor ought not be held culpable for doing only what 1 Legislature authorized and instruct him to do. AB to the conversion bonds, the ( vernor had signed but $2,200,000 them; refusing to sigu any more, wi ho found that the Treasurer was us them for other purposes than the law touded. But the Treasurer had o taken a different view from the Govern and under the Act authorizing the Fin cial Agent of tho State to pledge any i all bonds of the State as collateral se rity for loans, had turned ' over th bonds to Mr. Kimpton, to use iu manner prescribed by law, and the c version bonds had ull gone np in t way. That was all, and what was wrong in conforming to law? Fart) said Byas, the gentlemau (Bowen) tal uboat Gov. Scott being connected v what he called Hardy Solomon's ehavi shop, and using $300,000 of State ba to establish that institution; but sui statement was too absurd to merit a mont's attention from any intellif mind, for the Governor certainly had much Bcnco to usc tho bonds of the 8 in thut way, for the Financial Aj would have been certain to find him The gentleman, too, wanted to k why Kimpton wasn't arrested whe was here. By way of parenthesis tell him. It was because Kimpton c be arrested; at least, if be were to 1 would not like to be the State of S Carolina and have to settle with That was why the Governor didn't him arrested. Mr. Kimpton, said 1 ready to settle to-day, but he is ere iu possession and is not going to over tho assets of the State without securing his $080,000 of commiesio Mr. Bowen-I should like for tho tleman to explain himself, here, he says, it is so dangerous to the Stn institute proceedings against Kim] why does lie oppose me in my ondi to fasteu their guilt upon the accost of Kimpton in tho perpetrations c frauds, in attacking whom the Stute unwise imperilled? Byas-I'll tell you why. It is be ? don't waut to join with a muu wh spout so much of his pust lile i jails of tho country. Bowen then rose to a question o vilege, and said thut, whatever mit. alleged as to his oust record, ono was certain, that after his arrival i lumbla, ho had received frequen urgent invitations to partake of tl vernor's hospitality, und it ill b him or any of his toola to attac (Bowen's) character. There ia, sa ono of Scott's tools, who stands li from me, who accepted a bribe of S to mudo a white-wushed report on cally bcheme to swindle the Stat that tool is the gentleman from O burg; and I have tho proof of my lions. Byas-Where's your proof? Nt Name itl Bowen-Why, J. B. Deuuis, will testify that he paid you the eute for the amount, out of hi bauds. Byus-I deny ill I don't can yon say here. I defy yon to pro* a court of justice. But, said 1 will refrain from theso personal u aud turu to tho matter under ?lise I desire to refer to tho $500,000 i receivable. Tho gentlemen Hay t $300,000 of theso bills bad been i'bo fact IB that Governor Orr thorized to issue $500.000 of the didn't issue but $300,000, um; Governor Scott came into powe were still $200,000 unissued, amount Governor Scott issued was unnecessary for him to H thing about it, for thu law of i Legislature authorized lt. bo much for that. Now, lot I what thu Governor puts tho del t ? ' ? . " . u .nu i ;j.u ? ; i?, jil. . ? i .. r . .i_, 1 ? i.innn.n < State at, and aa a brevet Major-General of the United Staten Army, ne can't be expected to lie. He sums it np to be $9,000,000. Thia Committee, on the other hand, figure it ont to be $26,000, 000. I tell you, gentlemen of the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, these men are after nothing else but to rale South Carolina, and to ruin her; but they shan't doit, while! have a voice on this floor. I think, now, that I have about demolished this report; bnt I will go on a little longer. Byan then prooeeded to demolish the charges of the Committee in reference to thc Bwindle in the sale of the Agricultural College land scrip, asserting that it wac merely a newspaper rumor, utterly with? out foundation. Hurley interrupted him by saying thal ho was prepared with the necessary alfi davits to show that the land Borip foi 180,000 acres had been sold for eighty four and a half cents per acre, and ac counted for at the rate of Boventy-twc and a half cents-thereby defrauding the State of upwards of $21,000. Byas-I don't- oaro anything abon your paper proof. It can't haug any body, and 1 don't care about Kimptoi either; and if there has been a swindl here, it ia hia, and not Scott's. In dos ing, Byas said he didn't think it beoom iog in the Legislature, after passing laws enabling Scott, Parker, Chamber lain and Kimpton to commit frauds-i they have committed ?oy-to torn, now and go buck on them for acting in ac oordance with the express enactments o the Legislature. JriyaB was followed by Tim. Hurley, i support of the report of the oonimittei He said there was not a fact or figui stated in the report, exoept what wc drawn by inference from those facts an figures, that was not derived from tb record? upon the books of Finanoii Agent or the Treasurer of the Stat that as to the $6,000,000 of sterling los bonds, they were lithographed by tl American Bank Note Company, wit Scott's namo upon them, and as far i he (Scott) could make them so, were debt against the State; and aa to tt statement in the report of the eipend tures by tho State Government of $2U 000,000 from July, 1869, to Septemb 30, 1870, the amount was ascertain? i rom the figure? of the Financial Agen who claimed commissions at least fi the negotiation of loans aggregating th amonnt. Whipper followed Hurley, and in i i earnest and able speech, that did cree at once to his integrity and intelligenc delivered some home thrusts that Beean to stagger tho doughty Byas no littl Referring to tho remarks of Byas e minatory of the Governor's actions relation to the redemption of the bi receivable, he said that it waa shown 1 the message of Gov. Orr to the Legis! ture, at the special session of 1868, tb but $300,000 of (he bills had been i sued, and of this amonnt there we still outstanding, unredeemed, 323,0< and yet the Financial Board attempts maintain that $500,000 of the Sti money lins been exhausted in the : demption of these bills. He begged tl the members would remember that the effort to impeach the Governor, t House was not the petit jury to det mine the guilt or innocence of the par but were rather as the grand jury to certain whether or not there was prol bio cause for tho charges alleged agar him; und when satisfied on that poi then the triul would be had bef? the Senate, bitting as a petit ju That though he and the gentlemen e ing in concert with him were fully p pared with satisfactory proofs of frauds alleged against the Finani Board, they deemed it ill advised to < close prematurely the strength of tl case, well knowing, as they did, the < rnpting power of the Governor's g and the lavish manner in which it 1 been poured out in the previous attei at impeachment; and that whether Legislature impeached him or not, stood impeached before all intellig people; and as for him, it should be o thee to proclaim to the people in approaching canvass, how the gnbei torin! rogue had defeated his impec mont by the use of the very mouoj had stolen. At 5 P. M., aud before Whipper liuished hia speech, a motion to adjo was carried by a small majority, and further discussion of tho question ? puned till to-day. Put 'rm* unit Tbttt Together.
