A SCENE IN THE SENATE.

The morning hour last Monday having expr-
ed, ON motion of Mr.. Butler. the subject Of the
alleged census frauds IN South Carolina was ta-
ken up and the letter of the secretary Of the in
| terror, in response to the senate resolution for
information on the subject, was read.
Mr.. Butler verified the report. and believed 1t
should put to shame bsseless calumnies Of stump
orators and party organs in the late campaign.
Replying to the language contained in the speech
by Mr.. Conkling during the campaign, he spoke
Of ITS charges aud insinuations ss being malg-
nsnt in their purpose against the south as the
heart that inspired their utterance. and asserted
that although evidence of the correctness Of the
census figures was conclusive and overwhelm-
| ing, the author Of the charges had not had the
honesty to make amends fol- his dishonorable
perversions Of facts.
Mr.. Conkling replied to Mr.. Butler that he In
terred that the latter had designed his remarks as
| an assault upon him for something he had said in
| a speech last September. He thought Mr.. But
lsr had taken long time to reply. As for the
| vsporings of that senator he had no concern.
Mr.. Butler:-''The swaggering insolencs OF
the senator from New York has no concern for
me-"
Mr.. Conkliug:-''Ths senator is person with
whom do not choose to handy epithets here or
| elsewhere-least of all here.''
Ah, Mr.. Conkllng; but you we're not
sufficiently gentleman to take back
your talsehoods.

The Reception at the B. F. G.

The Baptist College has for long time had,
| fortnightly. pleasant receptions. at which the
friends of the pupils and OF education are given
an opportunity of judging. somewhat, of the
work being done in the school, and the young
ladies are afforded a chance to rub OF the
0asscherfe of adolescence. These occasions are
always enjoyable. and occasionally, Us last
Friday night, are notably SO. On that evening
the special feature of the always classic enter
tainment. was the reading of Miss Crosthwalt,
the new teacher OF elocution. Miss Crosthwaite
is teacher Of considerable experience In the
higher branches OF an English education, VINO
has more recently made specially of elocution
She comes here from Cincinnati, but Is native
of Tennessee. The interest IN the lady attracted

The musical part of the programme was cretl-
itably rendered. We have so often mentioned
those who took part in it, that we will
be pardoned ii We neglect them now to
speak of Miss Crosthwaite. She is u
brunette, rather petite, graceful in her
gestures, with u pleasant smile, and very
modest demeanor. She especially pleases in her
reading by an entire absence of mannerism or
affectation. She takes straight hold OF her
work and does 1t understandinsly and honestly
Prof. Lanneau, in his Introductory remarks,
announced that she did not claim to be pro-
fessonall public reader, bat did claim to be a
professional teacher of elocution. This was
fair statement. Miss Crosthwaite has not the
physique to undertake public readings, which,
} Of course, must include the tragic. but she has
thorough idea of the art of good speaking,
r and. We have no doubt, ability to readily i'm
part what she knows. Her 'Jane Conquest
was thrilllngiy pathetic, and her Irish, Scotch
and negro dialects were exceedingly good, es-
pecially the Scotch, in which she either excels,
OR had made a fortunate selection. Miss Crosth-
, waite lmpresses one as being conscientious
person-one who would put her whole soul into
anything that 1t became a duty to do-she is
|, / certainly well quanned, and the college has
} made real acquisition in securing her services
The lady will lind her efforts seconded by an
able and jealous corps of fellow teachers, and
We hope to hear that she is permanently one OF
us.
