The following summary of legisla tive proceedings during the past week gives spme of the most important dis cussions upon pending measures: After prelimiparv matters had been disposed of, Mr. Moses called up the special order for the day—Mr. Elder’s bill to provide for the completion of Winthrop’s new dormitory and to ap propriate $20,040 for that purpose. Mr. Weston said that, at the last session, the house was asked for $30,- 000 for the completion of the building. The house gave $35,d00. He wanted iuformatioil why thir additional ap propriation is now asked for. Mr. Moses said that the author of the bill is sick but does not care to have the bill jeopardised by his ab sence. foist year \JTinthrop asked for this $30,000 and the use of a hundred convicts. The house would not give them the use of the convicts and the hired labor had cost a great deal more than expected, as the piice of labor had advanced. He read a statement showing the estimates for completion as furnished by the president of the college. There bad been no motion !>cfore the honse up to this. lime, but Mr. Porroh here moved to strike, out the enacting words. Mr. Blease wauled lo know how much time President Johnson had spent iu Columbia lately. M'. Moses and Mr. Wilson replied that President Job ns. >0 bad appeared before the arays and means ciNumiiw by inv rspiisd that be just aak- o«, •J INI I a b« K»t> on Mr. Ulemas ed for informal! tbmt I 1 resident grant ueal wb« > oJtegs.

He represented the minority on the door who felt that this expeuditure would not b£ justified. He knew that he would be deiided for his opposition, but be wanted to ex^ press his disapprobation of .the work of the president and the trustees. Mr. Blease offered an Aiiieudmeut to insert $5,U00 for $12,000 ia the amount specified for the completion of the building. The amendment was tabled bv a vote rf 91 to 15 on motion of Mr. Bcamguaid. Mr. Blease wanted to amend further to reduce the requisition for furnishiug from $8,000 to ir2,000. Mr. Kmard, of Greenwood, said that bis record here had shown him to be on the side of economy. Yet it would be fa.se economy to let this building go to ruin. llWkkuew that the board deserved censure if it had not called for bills, but that was uo reason why proiferty should be allowed to go to turn. The Kobertsou amendment wasibeu adopted. It adds a proviso^mt the end of section 1. Mr. McGowan offered an amend ment inserting the words u if so much he necessary.” This too was adopted. The bJJ then passed second reading and the clincher was put 00 by Mr. Moh-s. This prevents any more amend ment* iu ihe House. The billas ameu^ ed read* : {section 1. That to complete the new building now being erected to accom modate ibe overflow of students ap plying annually foe admission to Win- thmp i ollegc. the oaly insiitutiou much more credit to the young man who is now assisting the State super- inteudent of education. Mr. Hardin was willing to let the clerk be called “assistant superinten dent/’ but he' wftnml the sUlary to re main at $900. I Mjv Wiugo opposed the bill on tbo ground of piling up unnecessary ex pense. v Mr. Moses, of the ways and means committee,'favored the bill, .lust last year the Legislature promoted the clerk of the adjutant general to the rank of colonel and assistant adjutant general with an increase from tfOOO to $1,200. The clerk of the State 'superindeut of education gets less thtiu any other de partment official aml v has exacting work which he dispatches with credit. Mr. Kinard said that he would offer au amendun'Tft to provide that the State superludent employed uo other cleiical force than the assistant whose salary should be $1,200. Mr. Kinard stated that the office now employs a stenographer at a salary of $400. He wanted to do away with this position if the clerk’s salary be raised. He con tinued that the office of State superin tendent of education has indeed done a let of work since Mr. McMahan had been theie, but it bad to a great extent been unnecessary work. He then went on lo say that ihe office had exceeded ita appropriation in having a great a uount of special and unneces sary punting done. No official in South Carotins has a right to exceed its appropriation. This office hat gone from $1,UU0 to f 1 JIM.

The good Queen Victoria dident have much English blood lu her veins. The Georges wore Germans^ by birth 01 adoption. T,bree of Them lived and died in Hanover and the house of Han over ruled England for 20d years. Victoria’s father and mother lived there. She got her husband there and her son, the prince of Wales, got his wife there. If it had not been for the Salic law which forbade a woman from reiguiug over Hanovdr, she would pro bably have lived and died there. Be sides this preponderance of German blood, she had a stiain of Italian blood iu her veins and was pleased to call herself a Guelph. Her Kuglisb an cestors were a bard lot. ludeed, tbe kings of England, especially Ihe Hen- rys, the Edwards and Georges, were a disgrace to royslty. They were cruel, heanlcM, selffMi and depraved. They were worse than our kidua|>er* or the hscing cadets ot West I’oiQt, for they put to death llieir brothers and moth ers to get them out of their way. Oaly two or three kiugs have behaved with credit lo the- crown. But the queens have illustrated woman’s superior vir tue and kindliness of heart.

THr convict taat'k:. Mr. deltoach of York favored the bill. He ahowed the neces*ity for this expenditure, a* the building is nof completed. The refusal of the legis lature to give the hoard convicts last year caused the necessity for more money. , • Mr. Coggeshall of Darlington— Didn’t tbe board of trustees kuow be fore it started work on the building that it would not get ihe use of the con victs? Mr. Hardin of Chester asked—Did the board of trustees ever advertise for bids? Mr. deLoach was not iufWmed as to this. The building should be com pleted, he said, because it belongs to the people of South Carolina, and not to the president and trustees of the college. Mr. Lever wanted to know why the convicts were uot given last year. Mr. Wilson replied that the Senate had killed the Ml. Mr. Prince said the question before the house is—‘‘The dormitory is in an incomplete condition, and what must we do?” He declared that the board deserved censure. He denied that tbe board had asked for the 100 convicts in addition to the $35,000. The re quest for convict labor had come later. He disliked to appropriate the addi tional $20,000. But we are in the pre dicament where we must go forward. The incomplete building cannot be al lowed to htand. „ Mr. Hardin wanted to know what guarantee is there that there will uot be a lequebt next year for still farther appropriations for this matter. Mr. Itohertsou wanted the l*oard to , request bids for the Completion of the work. He offered an amendment lo that effect.

He would accept an aiucndnieot.reduc- tog tbe fee. Marriages should he re corded. There w tu uo reason to sus pect that this bill would lead up lo a divorce law. Mr. H. B. A. Hobir.son opposed the bill iu his characteristic wa), adding a little spice aud humor to ebumou sense. Mr. Hardiu,of Chester, as an unmar ried man wanted no obstacles in the way of matrimony aud opposed the bill. Mr. Wingo feared that the enactment of tins bill would lead up to a proposi tion in the fuftlfe to amend the consti tution so as to grant divorces. Mr. C. E. Robinson “on behalf of the widow&rs htrd unmarried members qf the House’-’ moved to indefinitely postpone the bill. This was done by an overwhelming vote. SALARY INCREASE DEFEATED. The next bill discussed was that of Mr. Siukler to increase the- salary of the clerk to the superintendent of ed ucation from $900 to $1,500, aud to give the clerk the rank of assistant State superintendent of education. The committee offered an amend ment to make .he salary $1,200. Mr. Sinkler, who is chairman of the committee on education, stated that the bill seeks to change the office of clerk to that of “assistant superin tendent of education,’ and B> give him a rank and salary comipensurate with that of other department officials iu the State House. The State supenn- dent had stated that the work of Uie office is incretsiog aud that he wanted ■ the office of assistant to tie 'cieaied iu order that whan the *aptrintebdenl is j oat of the city his duties tna) prosily .devolve upon the amisUoW . Mr. Ashley wanted to know if the clerk ta not teaching for pay iif’The night schools ia Columbia.

The couvtruclion of that street car hue had been ot untold benefit to Mount Fioaaaul lor people from Cbarlmtou began to move there ns they could for 5 cent* go to4be city aud could return on the 9 o'clock even ing boat. Since that time, however, the Charleston Consolidated - Company had raised the fare to 10 ceuis and had taken off the 9 o’clock boat. The dam age to the town of Ml. 1‘ieusani is estimated at 40 per cent. This bill allow* the ferry.company what it had asked for, to place the maximum fare at 10 cents,-aud ou the other hand it had given the people of Ml. 1’ieasaul what they deyue—a boat at 9 p. m. By taking off this boat the company had hurt Ml. I’ieasaul, because the residents who worked in C’harloslou were forced to move to the city, not being able to catch a night boat. Mr. Cosgrove opposed the bill, lie has a residence on IsulHvau’s island which is seven milts fronf Charleston and four miles from Ml. Fleajant, beiug reached- from Charleston, by me ferry to Mt.* I’leasant.^ Up to three years ago there had been - but three boaie a day to MW Pleasant, now there aiqsejieij. This bill is wrong bt'cause il fixes an arbitrary late of lu cents a trip. This would prove fit a rival cor poration from coming into the field, for Sullivan’s island is seven miles from-Chatlesion aud a boil could not operate between those localities for a ten cent fare.’ • The 9 o’clock boat to Ml. Pleasant is operated through some seasons of ihe year. If it were to be ruu at other seasons it would be at a loss of $200 a mouth. The ferry company would operate such a night boat throughout the ) ear if it would pay. By a vote of 71 to 34 the substitute bill was adopted aud pa*-ed second reading.

Why, they havent got enough police- meu in New York city to regulate or intimidate the boys of Yale and Har vard when they meet them, to play a game. And the only excuse ever given by the faculty is: “Oh, boys will be boys.” Now, it seem that the bazers have apologized and promised to quit. That is well enough, but it doesent relieve them from the public indignation. A reform that cornea from fear deserves no credit. Those boys are tbe same brutes thqy were be fore, and should not be recqgnized as gentlemen anywhere outside of a bull tight in Maxico. o I‘ was ruminating about those old kings of England aud how two of the princes were smothered in the tower aud Edward VI had three stepmothers, who treated him like* a 'dog. and how subdued he was all of his brief life, for he died when; sixteen years old after a bo) isb reign df Seven years. And those Georges were in a continuous scandal, for history says that George I, who founded the house of Hanover, was •fond of nothing save punch and fat womm, and Wellington says of George IV that he was a curious compound of inconsistencies.. The o'her two were’ no better, and there were the Henrys, some of whom were worse than murderers.

The answer was, in effect, that the statements were a tiumped-up campaign lie. Mr. Teller, of Colorado, however, produced further testimony in the Sen ate debate, whose truth - w •"‘■• ■lon- ed by no one. Thus ( . t B. CpmUct, a physician aud missionary of the Methodist church at Manila, has avritteu the following : “ Several missionaries here have re cently received letters from the home laud inquiring as to the truth of ac counts published in the United States of the licensing of houses of prostilu- lion for the benefi of our United Slates soldiers. I have accordingly Ijeen niakiug inquiries and find to my chagrin that these shocking reports are only too true. I nm forced to write it.

In leading up to this conclusion tbe speaker showed the high character ot the native Christians, exhibited by their heroic faith and courage during the recent bloody persecutions in which men, women and children met death unflinchingly rather than give up their religion. , Dr. Davis, while fully presenting the tad loss of 150 devoted servants of God, done to death with indescribable outrages, emphasized the fact that 2,700 olhers were preserved to carry on the appointed work of Gcd. Anoth er point emphasized was tbe fact that this commotion in the East was al lowed to arise now, five years after China’s war with Japan, rather that 25 years later. He said the Chinese are full of pride and of intensely afiti-foreign spirit. They long to annihilate all loreigners in China; tocxpellhem utterly.. Japan did this iu 1040, and she wa* shut up so far as foreigners were concerned for 200 year*. China would do the same if she had the power.

Cuban Cotton Culture.—Tha Havana Western railway, connecting the capital with Pinar del Rio city and the noted Ynelto Aba jo tobacco dis tricts, is making an effort to re-in troduce the culture of cotton into Cuba, along the line of Uie road. It has pro cured a quantity of aeed from Egypt and the Sea Island plantations of Georgia and the long staple sectioas of the Mississippi valley, has obtained ail possible information with reference to the cotton plant and ita culture, and is having a pamphlet sprinted in Span ish for distribution with the seeds. These are being freely given out le plantation owners along tbe line will ing to expet iment with the fibre.
