When the appropriation bill wa again taken up in the evening tin section relating to Winthrop Col leg was the Hrsfc Lo be discussed. Mr Etird wanted Lo cut the proposed Win th rep appropriation from $52.000 t $45,000. Mr. DeP.ruhl wanted to mak it $48,000. Mr. Laney thought i futile to discuss such appropriation after thc ways and means comm ?tte had so carefully gone into fche que.* tien, lt would cripple the college ail' do little good to thc State treasury. Mr. Holman opposed thc hill. Il did not believe, in letting t bc way and means committee make all tb laws. Mr. McCain, of York, declared tba Winthrop has been getting no mor than she needs. They actually neci $7,000 more titan the ways and mean committee had recoin mend cd. II charged Mr. Etird with being ail ene my to Winthrop. Mr. EH rd hurled hack the insinua tion. lie was not an enemy to Win throp, but a friend of the 52,00 white girls in thc common schools. Mr. Karron, of York, declared tba the trustees, honorable and capabl men, have made their recoil)menda tion, and they ought to know mon; o Winthrop's needs than Mr. Flin knows. Mr. Cooper last year had oppose? making Winthrop's appropriation $ii0, 000 and had succeeded in getting i out down to $52,000. He though further reduction would cripple tin college. Mr. Kennett, of CollcLon, t hough thc pruning knife should bc put in hut it should be done all along tin line. As thc South Carolina College appropriation had not been curtailed he opposed starting in on Winthrop Ile urged that bc was not inconsistent in defending Winthrop. Mr. Pollock moved tj indefinitely postpone Slr. Eli rd's amendment. This was carried by a vole bf i>4 to 43 Mr. Lido oiTcrcd an amendment that the scholarships he paid out of Hu regular appropriation. Thc hill rc commended that 85,450 be added foi these scholarships. Mr. Ilcamguiih moved to table the amendment. Tin house hy a vote of 50 to 51 refused t< table the amendment. Mr. McCain and Mr. Pollock thcl appealed for thc amendment to he rc jected. To cut $5,450 for scholarship.' would be a serious blow tb thc college Mr Mosses showed thal this would Ix giving Winthrop $14,000 less thai she asked for. Mr. Dowling declared that Hu house had passed Hie scholarship bil with thc understanding that Hie ap propriafcion for scholarships wonk come out of Hie general fund. Mr. D. ?. Herbert openly attacket the college. His not thc only girl'! college in thc State. This cut in th? appropriation would not seriously erip plc thc college. There are a nu in bc of schools in this State doing splcndh work for the education bf women am they would be glad to get one-third o this appropriation. Mr. Sarratt, of Cherokee, spoke car nestly for Winthrop. South Carolin! College had paid for itself in givlhj Wade Hampton Lo Sou tb Carolina Mr. Sarratt isa graduate ol' clemson Mr. Sinkler, formerly a trustee, de dared this amendment Lo be a Trojai horse.

Mr. Mauldin ol' Greenville declare' that for years be bad been in favorc lifting up tho negro to a higher plan of citizenship in return for bis fal til fulness to the defenseless white wc men during the war. Hut rcccntl there was au incident which impelid hm to tbi ilk it better to shut tb door to importunity, insolence an impertinence.

Thc legislative examino committee had made a good sl??wji for this college. 'The trustees had d dared the larger amount necessary. Mr. Herbert agreed with Air.

Mr. Lide protested against any ii pression that the trustees are i: careful men, and honorable men. Mr- Moss declared that seven a i angels could he deceived in a ease this kind. I Mr. Herbert: I think they ask for just exactly what Miller said needed -and Miller is just sm; enough to pull the wool over the oj of a good many ol' us. Mr. Herb? agreed that these trustees were hom able men. Mr. Tat um declared that the i groes pay at least $.'10,000 ol' the pri lego lax and they are entitled lo soi consideration. . Five thousand woi be a mere pittance. The white pi pie of Orangeburg are able to la care ol' themselves. They can ni; age the negroes and there is no di ger in the present college.

Mr. Thomas believed that il' t pension rolls are properly ivvisi * 150,000 would go as far as $200.c with loose regulations. This is a bu ness proposition against asentimcn policy. Ile declared further thal, Hu is now a statute requiring com commissioners to give financial assi ince to needy soldiers. Capt. Itrooks wanted.to know If t law requires or empowers t he comm deners lo give aid. Mr. Thomas insisted that no co missioner who is a true Carolin] would turn a deaf ear. Mr. Toole called attention lo ? Thomas' vole in favor of liberal ; propitiations to all Stale colleges a Ids opposit ion to this charitable p pose.

Mr. Horrell made a v forcible speech in fa vor of the ame ment. Mr. Cooper favored giving 200, dollars, .lio"wanted to Bee thom (jet at least n decent appropriation.

Tho young men had takon the matter Into their hands and had made it 200,000 dollars. Unfortu nately tt did not go into effect until last year on account of a defect In Mis appropriation act. He believes the peoplo'of South Carolina want lt lo stay at 200,000 dollars. He paid a Hue I ri bu tu to thc Confederate soldier. Mr. Trlbble, of Anderson, and Air. Mauldih, of Greenville, opposed the amendineut. Mr. Trtbble spoke from thc depths or his heart. Me paid a glowing tribute to the Confed?rale soldier and Insisted that those who do not favor large appropriations do not know of the hardships of the Confed erates. The poorer people went ?iit at the tirst will, and they responded through patriotism. There is no re cruiting of their shattered ranks. They will not be here long, and take care of them while t hey are here. Ile had introduced a separate bill which would remedy defects in the pension law. The house by a vote ol 00 to 10 re jected Mr. TowiH's amendment. The. ten were Messrs. Hunch, Dor roll, IOU rd, .larnegan, Ivibler, Stackhouse, Towlll, Traylor, Williams and Wingan!.

During the recent campaign Bepuh llcnn organs and orators persistently donlcd that there was atty serious in? i tcntlon of nuRSlng the Fowler bbl. In spite or thn ract' tbnt tho lawlor hill was roportotl In tho 'ftraf SOBSIOH of tho present congress by tho Ropublloan majority of tho house committee, Rei publican newspapers and In sumo In. stances Be pu bl lean congressmen who were candia *?* for re-election, nss?fi cd the pc ^ hat the fowler bill was dead beyond nil hope tif resurrection, and that Democrats whit referred to that measure wore merely employing it as ?i scarecrow. Notw: hstandinu these denials the Fowler bill is how hiing pushed through Congress. *'lt is true," as I'be Commoner says, "there is a diil'erenoe between thc Fowler bill as reported at the last ses sion and the,Fowler hill that is now being pushed In tho present session. Thc change in the details or tl c measure docs not Imply any surrender on tile part of the money trust. The change has been madcrln response to thc piotcst on thc part of Republican members that they dare not enact a law containing all the Ill-advised pre visions contained in thc Fowler bi 1. The money br?st, while not making any surrender as to any of thc so-call ed ?reforms' which they hope to bring about, have yielded to thevprotesls of the Republican congressmen to thc extent that they are willing to de mand at this time the adoption Of one of bite iniquitous features of thc Fow ler bill, bidding other features in abeyance. "Thc old Fowler bill authorized thc establishment of branch banks and provided also for the m?rement of thc grchbaeks, together with other pro visions contemplated by the policy adopted by tf.c so-called Indianapolis | monetary conference. Republican congressman pointed out to the back el's of this measure that the lime was not yet ripe for thc retirement bribe greenbacks; bbb people were somewhat partial to the greenbacks and lt would not "oe "good polities" to insist upon their retirement at this time. With respect to tho branch bank feature, the smaller bankers throughout the country made such a vigorous pro test against this plan that Mr. Fow ler and his associates thought it in advisable to undertake tit this mo ment to push throng a measure pro viding for thc branch banks. Hu I One of the most important, if not the most important, features of thc old Fowler bill relates to asset currency, and thc so-called new Fowler bill as it was reported to the house by the Re publican majority of the committee on banking and currency (?ii January Kt.

The old saying, that 'Tact is stranger than tlction,''.. w?:s demonstrated in the most remarkable manner possible, and yet there were row in the crowded eourt room who realized, outside ol' a lew olllcials; that the love of a woman Tor a man had tempered the hand of justice in one particular case, and that there had been disclosed a tender story of devo tion and self-sacri lice that has few parallels in the history Ot. grim court procedure. Arraigned before thc har, were two prisoners charged with a common of fense against the United States reve nue laws, viz., retaining moonshine whiskey without a license. Their names were respectively .John I), and M. M. Gaultley. They were arrested on a joint warrant served on them in thc mountains of Tazewell county. (Ju being arraigned in court they were thc cynosure of all eyes, so great was tho contrast in their physical ap pearance, .lohn I). Gaultley, the tall er of the two, is a man of line propor tions, a typical nighed mountaineer, standing six feet five, weighing 28;"? pounds, and clad in the picturesque rough dress suggestive of the soil it self. His massive throat was guilt less of a collar save one formed by the thicK woolen shirt he wore, and from his heavy, mud-bespattered boots to his ruddy looking face, he was a uni que ligure. Hy his side, stood a smaller ligure, as straight as a shingle, but so much more diminutive in fact, as to arouse thc immediate interest of all present. This was M. M. Gabltlcy, presumably a brother ol' the man who towered nearby. Thc younger prisoner was dressed in thc same rough garb as the man above described, even to the coarse woolen shirt, big-legged trousers and red lopped hoots. Met there was some thing in the bealing of the younger of the two-perhaps lt was the frail ness of the ligure, or perhaps it may have been the plaintive, frightened look tu ? neil towards thc be go wu ed judge-that riveted thc attention ol all present on the smaller prisoner apparently aboutlive feet three inches and weighing 12."i pounds. Holli pri soners, at the instigation of counsel, pleaded guilty ti) the charge against them, .lodge Henry Clay McDowell; in measured tones sentenced the larger of the two, John !>., to serve six months in jail, and pay a line of $100. A look of sympathy Hashed fruin the younger prisoner, whose black eyes and comely face still held the atten tion of all. Something in tlic manner of the latter had aroused the sympa thy of the prosecuting attorneys,who, amid a breathless silence, turned to the grave judge anti asked that a nolle prossc he entered against the smaller prisoner, on account of apparent youl h fulness. The judge assented.and after giving the prisoner a severe lec ture, ordered that the papers for a Cor.na I dismissal be prepared. The prisoner turned lo the judge, anti in a pleading manner, asked to he allowed lo serve a portion of "Brother John's'* sentence. This, the judge denied, and ordered thc prisoner removed. The prisoner again begged the court to be allowed to gt) to jail with "Brother .lohn," and again the judge refused. On hoing taken lo their cells, the ('ault leys were visited by the jailer, his intention being to release the smaller prisoner on an order from the court. Something in the behavior of M. M. Gaultley; however, aroused the suspicion of the wise keeper td' the baslile, and Hie awkward manner in which some of the garments were ar ranged, as well as a feminine air, caused 'thc jailer lo put forth some in fluirles. So suspicious had the jailer grown that he ordered an investiga tion, which quickly revealed the fact that M. M. Gaultley was a fully devel oped woman. Then it was that the young moonshiner stated that she. was the sister of .lohn IJ. ('.aultley. After further questioning, however, she broke down, and amid womanish tears idle told her story-that she was the big luau's wife, and not his sister collainly not his brother, as the reve nue oihcers hat! supposed; of how she hat!, more than a year ago, adopled male attire, so as to be able to assist her husband in his work; ol' t ho war rant being sworn on them, when her husband alone was guilty of t hc crime. Asked why she had sought punish ment when sin; had been exonerated hy the court, the wt man declared her Dilly object was lo be by her husband's ??ide, and lo work out willi him, the ?lenience imposed by the court. The Gaulllcys moved to Tazewell rouniy, this Slate, from Alleghany county, X. G., a year ago, and have passed as brothers ever since coming io Virginia.
