tives at Columbia, S. c., Saturday, resolu-
ton was offered by Charles Minoul, colored,
for the appointment of a committee to inves-
tigate the official conduct OF the Supreme Court
of the State. Minont, in supporting his
resolution, said that the election of Wright
in the first instance was n fraud upon the
people; that he has dsgraced the party which
elected him, has proved himself a drunkard,

been over and over again picked up dead
drunk in the cutters of Columbia. He hoped

his seat vacant. Read and Hamilton, both
colored, of Beaufort, spoke earnestly in favor
of the resolution, on the ground that Wright
had disgraced the bench AND the colored race
which exalted him to seat upon it. The
resolution was passed by 76 to ID.
