A running fire was kept up in the Sc
nate, yesterday, between Land Commits
sioner Leslie and number of his
Republican co,yi'eres, which, to say the
least. seemed very much out of place in
Legislative body. The cause of the
trouble was clause in the "Appropria-
tion Bill" relative 60 the accounts of the
Superintendent of the Penitentiary being
audited by the Governor. Leslie made
serious charges against Superintendent
Stolbrand, and asserted that the Govern
or was likewise implicated. He was in
terrogatcd in his diatribe, by the Sena-
tors from Chester, Sumter, Richland and
Morlhnrn. hnf f1,a
on-giving each of the parties heavy
wipe. During his remarks, the Barn
well Senator stated that he was opposed
to all "investigations"-which provoked
n universal laugh; when the Senator i'm
mediately added, ''eXcept in the affairs
Of the Land Commissioner which, ever
since the formation of the Office, I have
challenged Democrats aud Republicans
to examine" He was twitted about the
appearance of his report; but with
out making any direct excuse, said there
were Senators present who would object
to its publication. He was not particu-
larly choice in the selection of his words,
but dealt out very harsh epithets against
his opponents. One individual on the
floor intimated that the Land Commits
sioner should not bear too heavily on the
Governor, rs he ight be compelled "to
apply to him for q pafdon, one of these
days" " As usual, the debate or Philip

If February did borrow little from
March, the "windy month" is making
up the supposed deficiency. Sunday
and yesterday the wind had full sway,
and sent the dust and the ladies' skirts
flying.
By reference to our advertising columns
it will be seen that the managers of the
old Men. York tri-weekly line of stea mers
have made excellent arrangements for
conveying freight and passengers-th
tariff for the latter being materially re-
ducedr To those who can avoid "paying
Neptune his dues" this route will prove
very attactive, as the steamers are first
class, and the fare and general accom-
modations most admirable.
