4 DisGraceful Exhibition.


On Wednesday, the llth inst, the
supply bill for the year being under dis
c;assion,. the house Of representatives
presented a scene which, if presented by
negro minstrel troupe would be set
down as broad caracature upon leglsla-
ton in St. Domingo or Ashantee. An
amendment had been proposed to cut
down the appropriation for the support
Of the pcnitcntiary Minort, Of Richland
opposed it.
Humbcrt, of Darlington, the great
colorcd economist. interrupted Minort in
his homely aud laughable style, asking
if he did not know that the institution
ought to be sclf.sustaining, and insinuat
ing that Minort only wanted
A GRAB At TIE MONEY.
Minnrt few hack at the ''gcmrien from
DarIington,'' and most redicuous scene
ensued Hurley attempted to come to
tInorts rclief: but was silencsd BY Hum
bert's "You shct your mour, sir,'
followed by a roar of laughter from the
House. Greene, of Beaufort, urged that
the S6j, 900 be retained, and that even
that sum would not be sufficient. The
idea that the poor convicts should be
compelled to 60 out to labor for their
bread seemed to him very hard. In the
course of his remarks, in the usual legis-
lativc style, he referred to Humbert as
''TrIAT THIEF FROM DARLIGToN.
Huu!bcrt rctorlcd that if he had ever
stolen anything he would TO be ku-kluXcd
and robbed by just such highway robbers
as the gentleman from Beaufort. Greene
insinuatcd that the gentleman from
Darlington might find himself Soon in
the walls of the penitentiary, and ought
to be careful how he fought the aprro-
priatiom for It's support. Well, "

tiary, offering So, 70 as an amendment,
and calling tbe ayes and nays upon it.
\ motion To indefinitely pospono the
amendment was lot by vote of thirty
tw) to sixty-,hree. Hurley advocated
the amendment, saying the fifty thouS-
ami dollars was more than enough.
Greene, of Beaufort, interrupted him hy
saving that he (llurlsy) knew as much
about the matter Us he did about the
GOVERNORS $ CONTINGENT FUND.
