DEBATE ON THE IMPEACHMENT RESOLUTION
MOVEMENT FOR THE EXPULSION OF BOWEN.
COLUMBIA, Dec. 20.-In tue House of Repre-
senatves, to-day, the debate On the Impeachment Of
Gov. Scott was resumed. Mr. Bowen spoke for two
hours He said great pressure had been put upon him to
induce him withdraw his charges. He said that State
stock in the Greenvle and Columbia Railroad was sold
at n rs while other persons would have given -, and
that Gov Scott refused 10 sgn the transfer until his
brothernaw was given 10000 He exposed the trans
action Of tho Land Commission showing that lands wero
bought at FIVE and six times their value He said the
agricultural land scrip reported sold at 72i cents
but he knew men who paid "a cents for 1t.
Mr.. Bowen was followed by several members who de-
nounoed his motives Mr.. Jones charged Mr.. Bowen
with perjury, and read dispatch sent last Summer by
Mr. Bowen in New York. begging Gov. Scott to revoke
the authority given Judge Barrett to proceed against
Financial Agent KempOn 1t is sad that Gov Scott has
secured enough votes to insure Bowel expulsion
Determined efforts will be made In that direction.
