RICH SCENE IN THE MAYORS CouRr.- Quite an
interesting scene occurred in the Mayors Court on
Saturday the trial of brawny Of Erin charged
with fighting and other disorderly conduct. During
the progress Of the trial, the defendant who seemed
highly troubled with the "cacoethus loguendi CON
stantly annoyed the court with interruptions and
eacuatons contrary to the ordinance in such
made and provided" Our worthy Mayor bore the
annoyance with remarkable and commendable pa
tience, until endurance ceased to be virtue, when
be imposed fine of $40 upon this garrulous son Of
the Emerald Ise for contempt of court. At the con
the court imposed fine Of SO and costs On the de,
fendant and yielding to the kindly promptings Of its
benevolent nature, suggested to him that he would
be allowed an opportunity of purging himself Of the
contempt. sOf what, may it please your honor : z
Z" OF pu,gng yourself" said the Mayor. And is it
dose Of lie you'd be after having me take in this
honorable court-Im not undacent enough for that
same, begor and the divil bitwill I purge myself
here" The court gave him up as o hard case, and
being unable to pay the fine he was turned overto
the tender mercies Of Marshal Pagan.

"a THE PRIVILEGES OF CoNGREss.-The Senate Com
mittee on the Sunner case record the following pre-
cedents for action on breaches in Congressional priy
leges:
In March, 179s, Mr.. Baldwin, a member of the
House of presented to the House
tain correspondence between himself and General
Gum, Senator from the State of Georgia, including
a challenge addressed to him by General Gunn.-
These were referred to q committee, of which Mr..
Madison was Chairman, who reported that the same
was breach of the privileges of the House on the
part of General Gum and Mr.. Frelinghuysen Sena-
tor from New Jersey, by whom the challenge had
been borne In May, 1928, personal assault having
been made by Mr.. Russell Jarvis upon MrJohn Adams,
the private Secretary Of the President just after his
delivering message to the House Of Representatives,
and while on his way to the Senate with another mes
sage, the matter was, complaint OF the President,
referred to select committee, who, by MIR. McDufe,
Of South Carolina their Chairman reported that upon
view of all the circumstances the committee are of
the opinion that the assault committed by Mr. Jarvis
upon the private Secretary of the President whatever
may have been the cause of the provocaton, was2an
act done in contempt of the authority and dignity Of
the House. In 1882, the House of Representatives
after long trial and thorough discussion of the ques
ton, voted that Gen. Houston, by making personal
assault on Mr. Stansbury, a member Of the House
for words spoken in debate, was guilty Of contempt
and violation Of the privileges Of the House.

THE PENITEN'TIARY PARTLY DESTROYED BY FIRE.
On yesterday, few minutes before twelve O'Clock,
we were alarmed by the cry of fire. 1t was soon as
certained that the Penitentiary buildings in
blaze, and there was general rush Of our citizens to
the of disaster The fire companies displayed
their usual vigilance and prompttude, and their en-
gines were soon playing with marked efficiency upon
the burning buildings The conVicts, a fraction above
three hundred and fifty were at the time engaged in
their labors and being outside Of their cells created
some alarm for fear they might attempt to escape in
the general confusion but through the coolness and
Capt HaydeE of the guards, they were at once con-
Quoted to their cells and safely locked up Consider
ing the number of convics at work in the factory at
the tme and the rapid progress of the flames through
out that building it is extraordinary that the whole
of them escaped without injury The fire took place
in what is termed the picke,y, and in four minutes
time passed to the entire extremity Of q building
with the most comhustble materials, such as raw cot
ton and manufactured cotton goods and besides the
floor perfectly saturated with oil drippings from the
machinery. The building was soon in ruins, and it
was with the greatest difficulty that the balance of
the State property was saved. Ell IL 4. a
The loss is estimated at one hundred and twenty
five thousand dollars. The buildings may be replaced
by the materials and labor at the command Of the
State, and the machinerySmay be replaced with the
sum Of sixty thousand dollars.
Before closing this notice, we must remark that
Capt. Barry of the United States Army came prompt
ly to the aid of the officers and citizens with the
whole of the United States force under his command
The militia were also called out by order Of Aajo
General Mediation, and we are proud to remark tina
