to be on fire. Every exertion was made

loss is over $1,000 in carpenters tools and

cause of the fire. The loss falls heavily

THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE
OP REPRESENTATIVE

Aside from the confusion and noise
incidental to an assembly of a large
number of men, there is, as a general
thing, an amount of hustle, discourtesy
and wrangling in the House, which is
utterly ineXcusable and reflects no credit
upon the representatives, who had the
power, and should have exercised it, to
maintain order. Frequently there were
from half dozen to a dozen on the
floor at the time, yelling ''Mr. Speaker"
and would only desist after being repeat
edly raped down. Many sat on their,
desks, others walked around, talking in a
loud tone of voice. A visitor entering
the hall during the session would nine
times out of ten be unable to understand
what was the character of the
business under consideration. In
this body there are one hundred
and twenty-three members, of whom
fifty are white, forty black, and
thirty-tmee of mixed blood. of this
number one hundred and eight arc Repub-
licans, and fifteen Democrats. A large
number of the representatives believed
that it was parliamentary" to call for
the ''yeas and nays" and did so Gin and
out of season. This piece of foolish
ness consumed great portion of each
days session. On several occasions the
''yeas and nays" were called as often
as fourteen times during a session. The
House was in session eighty-five days,
averaging four hours day. The ''yeas
and nays" were called on an average
of three times a day, consuming at least
three-quarters of an hour. One thousand
and twenty hours were spent in legisla-
ting, two hundred and fifty -five of which
were wasted in calling the ''yeas and
nays" Truly an expensive luxury this
displaying of parliamentary knowledge by
the dusl<V LEGISLATORS
