The MOST REMARKABLE VOTE EVER
RECoRDED.--In the House this morning,
when the Land Scrip was being discussed,
Mr.. Deneale proposed to amend the bill of
Mr.. Sutherlin, giving to Hampton Normal
School foe-t,reifMs of the fund instead of
one-third. Upon this amendment Messrs.
Matthews, Jones, Paige and Gillian voted
in the negative, thereby defeating the
amendment, which was lost by only three
majority.
We must do Mr.. Paige the justice to
say, he discovered his mistake and at
tempted to correct it, by moving a recon-
sideration; his motion was lost.
When it is remembered that these four
members are colored men, one of whom
processes extraordinary interest in his race,
the injustice they have done their own
race, stands out in bold relief.
The more liberal members of the opposi-
ton pressed the claims Of the colored peo-
pie to fre-t,celfihs of this fund, and carried
sufficient members with them to carry tho
proposition, which they would have done
but for the absurd position taken by these
four colored members.
We publish these facts, i'll order that they
may 60 before the constituents of these
gentlemen, aud that they may hold them to
strict accountability for depriving the
colored people of the benefits of that,
which the more liberal Democrats were
anxious to give them.
These gentlemen were not ignorant upon
this question, but acted from sulen OBJ
stinacy to defeat that which was a benefit
to them, simply because the Legislature
refused to give them such a bill as they
wanted. We do not hesitate to say that
such conduct is deserving severe criticism
and condemnation, and while our colored
| friends will find us eyer-ready to sustain
them, when right, they may with equal
certainty look for condemnation when
wrong. We leave these gentlemen to their
| constituents, with the charge that they
sullenly refused to-day, to do az much for
their own race as Democratic members oil
the Legislature were willing to give them.

influence. Why not make tue most Of

Jesting on Sacred Things,

There is scarcely week passes but the
ear Of such as reverence Gods Word
and Iiisname is panied by coarse jests on
holy things or by puns on sacred pas
sagcs. 1t is not only the vulgar prints
which VIC exclude from our homes, but
respectable papers and frst-c!ass maga-
zines which are guilty in this matter,
and offend the taste of their more reiin-
ed readers, whom they imagine them
selves to be gratifying. The most tender
cntreatics and touching appeals and ter
rife threatings OF scripture are put into
the mouth Of some "hurt-shcllcd Pap-
tist," or some other ignoramus, and are
henceforth made the occasion Of mirth
to many as often and they recall the lu-
dicrous stotics. The ordinances Of Gods
house, the glories Of heaven and even the
woes of the lost are made subjects fol
jest by these would-be wits, who are moi
confined to the ranks of the scoiIer, but
who sometimes como down from til,
pulpit, where they have pleaded will
men to honor God ard to heed Hi
words, and by some misapp!ication OF t
passage OF scripture turn the heart Of th,
Loarcr away from the trlth.
