January 1. tf A Scene in the Legislature. We chpy from the letter of "Vidette," the Columbia correspondent of the Charles ton Xcws ami Courier, the following account of the difficulty in tho House of Representatives, at Columbia, on the night of the 12th inst.: "It was about this time that, in the language of the minstrel people, THE TROUBLE COMMENCED. The House, after disposing of this matter, proceeded to take kup the bills on the calendar, but it was up hill work in consequence of the quantity of bad whiskey which had been so freely imbibed by some of the rural members. Dannerly, of rv i 1 i i .v u wraugeuurg, iiuu vy tuis wine u ecu me au drunk and in his inebriation developed his combativeness to such an extent, that it was a difficult thing to keep him squelched, notwithstanding the fact that the services of the sergeant-at arms were called into requisition. A discussion arose upon the bill to amend Part 4, Title 1, Chapter 136 of the General Statutes.? The bill proposed to strike out Section 9 of the chapter in question, which, it seems, is a kind of civil rights sectionj prescribing a penalty for distinctions on account of race or color by railroads and steamboats. It was upon this that Dannerly spread himself. After a good deal of persuasion he was, however, silenced, and, a vote being reached, the enacting clause of the bill was stricken out. BROKE UP IN A ROW ' The next bill which came up for a second reading .vas the Senate bill to amend the act to regulate the pay of the members ' of the General Assembly. Tho bill pro-, vides that each member of the General Assembly, hereafter, shall receive such per diem compensation for each regular session as will amount to, and not exceed ?600, and the further sum of 20 cents foi^ every mile of ordinary route of travel iu going to and returning from the sessions of the General Assembly. And when , convened in extra session, each member shall receive the same per dieui compensation, not exceeding in tho aggregate three hundred and fifty dollars and mileage, as are fixed by law for the regular session, and none other. Bowlcy moved to amend by striking out the word "six" and insert seven dollars per diem, <tc.? This caused the member f&om Orange!?!? f?linpa being too affected to allow him to sit still. His articulation by this time hud become very husky and his patriotism under the influence of bad whiskey bubbled from him. He was called to order, but he refused to come to order for the "G damnation crowd." The sergeant-at-arms attempted to remove the honorable member, but he : resisted and drew A PERSUADER WITH POUR BARRELS, silver-mounted and loaded with slugs, by the assistance of which he completely demoralized the sub-sergeant-at arms and a half dozen deputies, and put them to in glorious flight. Several members made a rush to get to tho bellicose representative, j but his colleague, H. Riley, another color- ; ed member from Orangeburg, rallied to i his support, and grabbing him by the collar with one hand, kept the crowd at bay with the other PISTOLS WERE DRAWN, and sixteen dollar cuspadors, desks, chairs, and inkstands overturned in the melcc which ensued. For a considerable length of time the Orangeburg delegation kept the floor, and remained masters of the situation. Tho sergeant-at arms was not present, and his deputies evidently entertained a wholesome dread of the "persuaders" which were flourished around so promiscuously. In the meantime, the seats in the vicinity of the row wero hastily vacated, and those members of the House who seemed more inclined to peuce thau to war, made tracks for the door. The speaker rapped his gavel industriously, and called upon the scrgeantat-arms to DO HIS Ol'TT, but the person who was acting in that capacity *as powerless to do anything.? Dannrrly and bis colleague, in the meantime, kept up an incessant firo of oaths, and still held their position. In this emergency, Howl :y, the colored chairmnn of the committee on ways and means, Sam Greei, of Beaufort, Lilly, of Chester, and one->r two other colored members who weie evidently not afraid of Orangeburg peiuaders, made a rush at the belligerent numbers, seized their pistols, and bore nem bodily out of the House. This done, |uiot for a time was restored. Soveral of he pale-faced brethren, who had taken emporary refuge beneath the desks, imerged from their hiding-places, and the douse at once addressed itself to ths sub* ect of vindicating its wounded dignity. SWIFT PUNISHMENT. Minort, of Richland, introduced a rcsoLutim expelling both members from j ! Orangeburg. Hurley thought that they ought to be first brought toihe bar of the House, and this was accordingly done.? Riley, who is a black man, and who seems Vo have been forced into the row by a desiro to protect his colleague Dannerly, first came up. To him the speaker said : "You have been charged by the House with conduct unbecoming a gentleman and a member of the Legislature. Do you desire to make any explanation ?" Riley replied that "he had only tried to quiet his colleague when the members crowded around him; he knew that Dannerly wasn't conducting himself right, but didn't want to see him crowded. Ii the House would take him at any other time be could talk, but now that he was in the heat of passion, it was in him and had-to come out. He was sorry for what he had done, and ' 1 ---j? -r oeggeu paruon in tun uuucc, a*j 4Ufc which he withdrew. The House decided to take up each case separately, and consider Riley's case first. Bowley hoped that swift and prompt punishment would be meted out to the offenders. AN EXCUSE FROM AN UNEXPDCTEE SOURCE. Crittenden, of Greenville, was more intimately acquainted with Mr. Pannerly than any member of the House, and he regarded him as one of the most honest and high minded members of the General Assembly. He knew that the demon liquor had caused the disturbance, and many men of higher intellect than the member had fallen under its influence.? He hoped that the House would excuse the members if they came before the bar of the House and apologised. This apology from such an unexpected quarter produced a visible sensation. N. B. Meyers, of Beaufort, hoped the House would not allow the newspapers to say that this ! Gcncrul Assembly, composed as it was of a majority of Republicans, did not have the nerve to expel two Republican members who had disgraced it. Crittenden wanted to know whether the members considered it a greater disgrace to be unfortunately caught under the influence of liquor than for one member to charge another on the floor of the House with having received bribes? Duncan, the colleague of the members from Orangeburg, didn't think that the action of his colleagues warranted their ?xpalsioi^ Dunnerly had raised the row, but Rile^fcad been drawn into the fuss. Minort 'Voped that both the members would be because their conduct was not only disgraceful to the State of South Carolina, but to every member of the House. AN IMPORTANT POINT. Spcrry wanted to know whether expulsion would prevent the gentlemen from getting their pay. The speakur replied that it would not, as they hud drawn it already. The previous question was called on the resolution to expel Riley, and the | IIou.sc voted 66 ayes, nays 25. Under i tho constitution a vote of two-thirds is necessary for expulsion, and so the speaker ruled that the resolution was lost, and the i * i _ii_ i a? -n t# i I memuer notexpewea. in. n Meyers raiseu the point that a rote of two-thirds of the members present was all that was required under the constitution, and that the Supremo Court had so decided on the Morton-Bliss case. It took some time to decide this KNOTTY POINT. Hurley moved as the sense of ihe House, that two-thirds of the members present be deemed :i sufficient vote toeipcl a member. This motion wa9 adopted, and the member accordingly declired expelled. On motion of Hurley, tho sergeant-at arms was sent after TF1E CHIEF OFFEHDER, Banner! v. A member suggested that the member was not in a erudition to be brought up before the House; but this ' suggestion was disregarded, and the offending member brought up. He was j decidedly limp, and on taking his stand ; delivered a rambling speeel, of wfiich the | following is a fair synopsii: He said, "he hoped de members wonU 'sense hint as he was a repsentive of le people from Ongcburg County as in independent man and he felt his father was a repscn- . live on dis floor although he didn't say he was an cddicated man and lie demanded < ns much respect ns any imn Some might i think thnt lie was in wHskey but God ] forgive hnn lie was not in no whiskey i There was no whiskey in h ui nnd he spoke < from his heart if he had done anything 11 it i _? . *\uiauj 1 '?lll lid l\ VTtt Ut Ul I1U t'UIUUlltiOC t bat he hoped he was one itanding on die ( floor an a republican which h? was one j and didn't mean to cast ro reflectun on < the house only with a certain party and i he would settle that outside for his vote 1 was as intelligent as any man's on de flow j and if he was ignorant he would stand by ' the spenkcr and the gentlemen to the end ! and he hoped if he did anything wrong I that they would forgive him and that's ] what I had to eay." This explanation < f ??? having been made the member withdrew, and the House proceeded to consider the resolution to expel him. The previous question was called on the whole matter, and the House voted to expel the "repsentive from Ongebnrg" by a vote of 71 ayes to 18 nays. Hurley then made a motion to reconsidor the vote just taken, and to lay the motion on the table, which motion was carried, and ro the House for once, put it out of its power to indulge in that peculiar kind of eccentricity which has been so largely developed during the present session, and the members stand irretrievably and irrevocally expelled with tho pay in their pockets. Selah ! This little episode having been settled and the equanimity of the House restored the discussion was resumed on the bill to amend the law in relation to the per diem and mileage of the members of the General Assembly,-pending which the House adjourned. The Story of the Curfew. The first line of Gray's Elegy,? "The curfew tolls the knell of parting day," has made the word airfcic familiar to every English-speaking boy and girl. The word is formed of two French words, couvre feu, or couvrir feu, (cover fire,) and came into use when William the Norman, the first monarch of England, made a law that all fires should be extinguished at the sound of the evening bell. To many hearts in the old country that cherish its traditions, the "curfew" recalls a story of love's devotion. In the time of Cromwell a young soldier, for some offence, was oondemned to die, and the time of his death was fixod "at the ringing of the curfew." Naturally such a doom would be fearful and bitter to one in the years of his hope and prime but to this unhappy youth death was doubly terrible, since he was soon to have been married to a beautiful young lady whom he had long loved. The lady, who loved him ardently in * ' 1 1 ? -X return, naa usea ner utmost euww iu avert his fate, pleading with the judges, and oven with Cromwell himself, but all in vain. In her despair, she tried to bribe the old sexton not to ring the bell, but she found that impossible. The hour drew near for the execution. The prepa. cations were completed. The officers of the law brought forth the prisoner, and waited, while the sun was setting, for the signal from the distant bell-tower. To the wonder of everybody, it did not ring ! Only one human being at that moment knew the reason. The poor girl, half wild with the thought of her lover's peril, had rushed unseen up the winding stairs, and climbed the ladders into the belfry loft and seized the tongue of the bell. The old sexton was in his place, prompt to the fatal moment. He threw his weight upon the rope, and the bell, obe. dient to his practised hand, reeled and swung to and fro in the tower. But the brave girl kept her hold, and no sound issued from its metallio lips. Again and again the sexton drew the rope, but with desperate strength the young heroine held on. Every moment made her position more fearful; every sway of the bell's huge weight threatened to fling her through the high tower window; but she would not let go. At last the sexton went away. Old and deaf, he had not noticed that the ourfew gave no peal, the brave girl descended from belfry, wounded and trembling.? She hurried from the church to the placo of execution. Cromwell himself was there, and was just demanding why the bell was ailent. Sho saw him,? "and her brow, Lately white with sickening horror, glows with hope and courage now; At his feet sho told her story, showed her hands all bruised and torn, And ber sweet young face slill haggard with the anguish it had worn, Touched his heart with sudden pity, lit his eyes with misty light? Uo; your lover lives,' cried Cromwell; 'cflrfew shall not ring to-night."' < Youth't Companion. The Late Senator-Sumner.?The Savannah h'epublicun will Unci lew men ' in the South to endorse its estimate of 1 the political character of Sumner, and the loss to the country in his death; but the ' publication of the following fact, which \ aur cotcmporary vouches for, may be due to the deceased: We are informed, upon the most un- 1 ioubted authority, that, during the pen- ' iencyof the Senatorial election in the Virginia Legislature, Mr. Sumner warmly spoused the cause of Mr. Hunter. He 1 ?ent word to Richmond, begging that Mr J Hunter should be returned to the Senate, , giving as a reason that the Republicans i were tired and disgusted with carpet-bag ' Senators, and that the country needed | the wisdom and experience, ability and { patriotism of Hunter, to help save it from ( lisastors which seemed to bo impending. Thk North Carolina Visuviub.? The Old North State, it teems, is about < to contribute a startling chapter to natu- < ral history. Rumblings, thuuderings and I quakings have proceeded for many days ] past from the bowels of the mountainous < regions of McDowell county. The inhabitants, fearing volcanic eruption, an earth- < quake, or something of the sort, hare left, or are preparing to leave thoir homes.? i Consternation has seized upon that whole section. Now this is the liveliest sensation we have had in North Carolina since the fires of war died out in the spring of 1865?a splendid sensation, of which we are as proud as the Icelander of Hecla or the Neapolitans of Vesuvius. Long may the proud crest of old Baldy wave in the sea of mountains around him. Mav no sneak ing South American earthquakes whelm him in eternal ruin, but let him go down to the latest generation of man as the equal of any Italian volcano that ever lighted mariner or appalled house holder. Bald Mountain, the scene of these strange noises and quaking*, is situated in the Southern part of MoDowell county, near tho Blue Ridge main range, and is a sentinel of the grand entrance to Hickory Nut Gap, justly regarded as the most Swiss of American mountain passesThe nearest point of these mountains to Asheville is fifteen miles air line. Its most northern poin t is nine miles from Marion, the county seat of McDowell.? There are other mountains in the State bearing the same name. Wilmington Star. * Novel Cure for Hysteria.?Brown Sequard says: The daughter of a friend of mine was attacked with a fit of hyste r 15 i?__ . I ria every morning, x succeeded ior a time in bstaking up the fit by the use of violent means for half an hour before the paroxysm was due. But after a time the means I used completely failed. My friend i then went to see a gymnast in Paris, named Triat, who was far more daring than I am, and was in the habit of treating hysteria in a very oold and unique way. He used to take his patients, as he did this lady, up a ladder after having bandaged their eyes, so they could see nothing. After they had ascended to the height of about twenty feet, he made them walk very carefully on a plank that was about seven or eight inches in width. He, of mm, will i walk there, so that he could easily lead the person forward. When the young lady had reached the middle of the plank, which waa pretty long?for it was a large gymnasium?he said to his patient, "Now you are perfectly safe, and there is no possibility of your fit coming on again."? He had previously assured her that this means was infallible; had referred to hundreds of other cases, and exaggerated his success in order to act on the mind of the patient. "Now," said he, "after I have left you, you will not try to lift up the piece of cotton wool that is fixed on your eyes f until the lapse of one minute." He start I ed away and left the patient in great dan- , ger, as you may imagine, of falling. Af- j ter a minute had passed the patient remo- , ved the bandage and opened her eyos,? Fortunately for Mr. Triat no accident has t ever occurred there How many patients } he cured that way I don't |know; but I know the daughter of my friend was certainly cured. The next day there was no ( need of taking her up there. She had enough. t Mrs Astor, wife of the New York millionaire, appeared at a party recently giv- ' en in that city literally covered with dia- a monds. She was diamonds from head to toe, and it wa9 estimated by connoisseurs ^ in precious stones that her outfit must v have cost at least one million of dollars!? All tho fools are not dead yet. Every mail brings harrowing accounts of the suffering existing among the poor people in tho Northern cities, and the blood runs cold at the bare recital of their woes.? Whole familcs arc homeless and houseless, and thousands of poor creatures are starving for bread. Yet Mrs. Astor spends ^ a million dollars on an evening dretis and ^ worships fashion, while her brothers and ^ risters of a more lowly lot are dying for ^ bread. She is a fair sample of the rich ^ Northern Christian, who, clothed in fine . 1J AttAdtr /loft Ok' iiiiwii, ittica nuuiptuuuvij otuj u?j. vu. for a little of that charity that crucifies ^ telf for the good of the human race. _ ui Pensions for Mexican Veterans.? >| The sub committee appointed recently by ^ he Committee on Pensions to consider he claims of the survivors of the Mexi;an war for pensions, *held a meeting, re;ently, and agreed to perfect a bill to ol neet these cases. A bill is already pend- to ng which provides that the survivors of he Indian wars and the war with Mexico ihall all be placed on the same footing as he soldiers of 1812, or the widows and irphans of such soldiers. A Lexington Ditpatch. "< Tde Bottom Dollar?Treasurer ( arioso told the army of attaches, yc^-orisy, that the tax levied by the Leg'sia Lore, to meet their expenses was enure ly insufficient, and that only two-tli;;ds of the amount levied has been received in the State Treasury. He had paid tho expenses of the extra session, amounting to $75,000, and had finished paying off the members for the session now concluded, amounting to $103,000. iho treasury was empty. He had no funds on hand. It was not his fault. Ho hoped and trusted that the County Treasurers who had failed to report would do so. within the next week. When he was in funds, he would liquidate their claims, as far at least, as the means on baoa wou;a allow. He was ready to endorse their pay ceitificates, but money was out of the question. Governor Moses appeared up on the scene and explained Treasurer Cardozo's explanation, bat no money v.is forthcoming. One desperate colored "snatchee" offered a rosolntion, to appeal to the United States government to establish military rule and give them their rights.?Phoenix. An exchange says: "Compare the publisher of a newspaper, who has to go nil1 around the country to collect his pay, to a farmer who sells his wheat on credit, and not more than a bushel to any person. If any farmer will try the experiment of distributing the proceeds of^his laoor oyer two or turec vuuuuca, nm1 un additional one to two or three distant' States, for one year, wo will guarantee ' that he will never, after that year's rience, ask a publisher to supply him v.' h a paper for a year or two without the j y' for it. Boys, Mind Your Commas.?The comma, like the tongue is a good thing, and it will make good sense or nonsen e, just according a? it is used. Take, nr instance,the old nursery rhyme. With the commas misplaced, it is so nonsen-ical that it needs a commentary to cxp'aiu it: Every lady in the land Has twenty nails on each hand, Five and twenty on hands and fa t; This is true without deceit. Alter the position of the comma*, id the meaning is clear: Every lady in the land An auctioneer once advertised a lot of chairs,"which, he said, had been used ' v gchool children without backs. A second handed furniture dealer on Michigan avenue, Detroit, hung ou: a card inscribed, "Buggy! for sale! and inadvertently hung it on a second kind bedstead on the sidewalk, where it attracted much attention. This fable should show that punctuation should be taught in the public shools. An Irishman, driven to desperatiou ly the stringency in the money market and the high price of provisions, procure J a pistol and took to the road. Meet . u, a traveler, he stopped him with, "Yer money or yer life!" Seeing Pat was "green," he said. 11 tell you what I'll do?I'll give you aii y money for that pistol." "Agreed!"

"Blaze away my hearty," said i, 'niver a dhropo' powther there's in 1. at ill" Idleness.?Many young pcoplo think hat an idle life must be a pleasant me; >ut there are none who enjoy so little, d re such burdens to themselves, as ;b c rho have nothing to do.
