How vne Coicred People are tr;,g in Kan e:-- ilardships to Which they are Subject ed-- A Retregade Movement. I answer to inquiri-on r ASrthie . 3 Saan of Louii:1, at hIowT li1 co'>red immig_,ralt: fm l: South a 14re f:in in Kansas,. the K:in sas Citv (.o.) TimO says the inIII arants have been attended with rious hardships, whilst the commul ties on whom they are cast have bei subjected to most distrPsing, bur dens. "They are. tor the most part, says the Timc"4, "composed of ti; superannuat(, infirm, diseased-th aged and the young, the mammies awl the picaninnies-as though ~the ex dus were desi,ned to -rub the era and the grave,'' and foist upon Knisn a large perecutage of the mst icwnap ble, pauperized and dependent cl They are as ignorant rs they are hel less, and, com1ing r-xclusively from the Southern plantations, they are wort: les as house servants, even if the were any mark- t for their empl,y went. There are ilo skilled mechin i-s among then, und the best equippd one whom we have seen was the hzq py owner of a wood saw, who said 11w c,1d iake cypress staves when couldn't work with a hoe. They hav! tenerally come In a state of destii non, many of themn sick fro,r d,. eases brought on by exposurw, and very inany have already diet." To show in what ianner these col ored immigrants are welcomed by the people of Kansas, the Time-s produces the following from an editorial artice in the Atchison Champion, the lend ing Republican paper in Kansas: eThe mayor of Wyandotte hos issued a proclamation notifying all .steamboat owners and officers that the City of Wyandotte will hold them re sponsible for importing destitute per sons to its shores, and the legal pen alties attaching to such offence will be strictly enforced. He has also pub lished an address in which he says that there are in Wyandotte over 1,0)0 colored refugees, utterly desti tute ; that large numbers have died and many are now sick, and that un less aid is promptly furnished Lun dreds will starve. We have already stated that Kansas cannot provide em ployment for these people; that not one in twenty of them can find any thing to do in this State; that our people are too poor to support them in idleness ; that they cannot lve on homesteads on our frontier unless they have means to support themselves for at least .eight or ten months, until they can plant and harvest crops ; ar.d that, as they have no experience in Northern methods of agriculture, their success as homesteaders -would be doubtful under the most favorable cir cumstances The Times adds: "As to the cause of the negro exodus, it has be come more and more apparent that it was instigated for a mischievous pur pose, and- through the dissemination of lying reports among the ignorant masses at the South. The statement of our Louisiana correspondent that 'their idea that they can go for noth ing, that they will be fed and clothed by the government, :ind not have to labor in Kansas,' is corroborated by recent revelations concerning the base and cruel deceptions which have been practiced on these ignorant people by the emissaries of the emigration scheme. But this can not last. The hard truth, the inevitable suffering must in time open the eyes of the colored people, and then the exodus will stop. The retrograde movement has already commenced. Over forty families have been shipped back to St. Louis 'at their own request, and others are to follow. They are dis gusted with their reception and ap palled at their prospects, and having satisfied their curiosity, a large per centage of them will soon be seeking to return to their old homes and friends, where they can be assured of a comfortable subsistence."1 caught at Last.1 'The notorious depredator Kate-Arrh, < who has for.so many years eluded the m,ost accomplished and skillful de tectives, has been caught at last in Buffalo, N.

There are in this State colleges of nearly every denomination. Thte Baptists have one at Greenville, the Lutherans one at Newberry, the Methodists at Spartanburg, fhe Presbyterians at Walhalla, and the Associate Reformed at Dae West. All these institutions have done a great and good work not only for the churches under whose auspices they were established but also for the State at large. But there is one feature in connection with all, or most of them, which has been a great drawback to them since the war. Those that formerly had a sufficient endowment lost it by the misfortunes of war; and since that time have been in a chronic state of impecuniousness, and dependent on their churches for support. This fact, while it is the occasion of con stant embarrassment, undoubtedly detracts from the usefulness and influence of these colleges. People have long since become tired out with the repeated calls for educa tional assessments, endoA inent bonds, and that sort of thing. And it must be as unpleasant to the col leges themselves as to the general public. Then, why do they not stop it? The trouble with the col leges is that they are entirely de pendeht for~ their income on the tui tion fees of the students. This, of course, cannot sustain them, even if all the students were required to pay the fees; but the truth is that a very large proportion of the stu dents are beneficiaries-not requir ed to pay any tuition, either because they are the sons of ministers or are preparing for the ministry them-. selves. ' We believe that the last one of these colleges could be made self sustaining. Suppose a college has seventyfive students ; at least twen ty-fi-e will be beneficiaries, leau ng nly fifty to pay tuition, which at 500O per annum would amount to 3,00. This will not support a aculty. While all the seventy-five lo not pay tuition they all pay soard ; but the colleges get none of 3he benefits of this. The board of he seventy-five, at $13 per month, vould be, for the scholastic year of 2ne months, 88,775. The college ~ould board these students for bout $5,000, and thus get tl"m bal meec for itself. Let the colleges ~stablish mess halls and pay some mne to attend to them, and we feel, are +1hat the plan will work greatly o their advantage. We are not opposing denomina ional colleges. On t he contrary e have all along advocated their ~ase as against the re-establish nent of an expensive-and brden oie State University. If, how ~ver, these colleges still continue heir present system of levying con ~ributions upon the public they will ~ertainly injure their own cause. lie people will say, that if they are .o be taxed for the sapport of edu ation they would as soon pay that ax (or assessment or contribution) ;o one institution as another. It is learly to the interest of our col eges to make thiemselves self-sus aining, and it can be done. Then, why not do it ? Vetoes. There have been 93 vetoes since. he formation of our government: under Washington ; 6 under Mad son; 1lu'der MIonroe; 11 under acksn; 9 under Tyler ; 3 under ?olk: 9 under Pierce-most of the >is vetoed b)y Jackson and Pierce vere for public improvements ; 4 mder Buchanan ; 1 -under Lincoln; L7 under Johnson, 11 of which were econstruction acts--the whole 17, vith one exception, were passed >ver his veto: 26 under Grant, ealyal of a privatte character: rnd 4 under Haves-the silver bill, ~vhih a passed over his veto, the >il for a speial term of t.he Cirenit ourt, an3issp the Chiy il ainese andpite fary hiscl main ap Senator Bntler and Congrew% man Aiken.

J., May 7, 1879. The ma in objection Mr. Hayes bad to the, Army bill as it was sent to him I some days since, was that the civil I authorities would be interfered with < in the discharge of their duties underi a phrase in one of its provisions. He i named other and numerous causes for t his veto, but none of moment. To C the bill presented by Mr. Ladd on Monday, and which passed the House t yesterday by a gratifying vote, no such t objection c'an be made. The bill is as I follows: "That it shall not be lawful to bring a to, or employ at any .place where a< general or special eleetion is being held I in a State aniy part of the Army or f Navy of the United States, unless such orce be necessary to repel the armecd a enemies of the Uniited States, or to I enforce section 4, article 4, of the p Costitution of the United States, and t the laws made in pursuance thereof, gj >n application of the Legislature or 0 Executive of the State where such u ore is to be used." a It will be acted on in the Senate to- t lay or to- morrow, and go to Mr. Hayes or his approval. Hie will probably t tipprove it. There isi nothing in it r it what Garfield and other [lladicail 1 eaders admitted, in the late debate, d o be just.

At six o'clock Friday morning, 2nd nt., there was doubtless observed by ;ome of the early rising citizens of Newberry, a wagon containing the enior Class and the President of Newberry College, rolling ini the diree ion of Prosperity. A few geological liammers and a small telescope were in ~he hands of the party. It was, perhaps, a somewhat novel eene, anid we endeavored to avoid the ~aze of the publie by being as civil as >ossible; yet in spite of this precaution t seems that we were to some extent ~he centre of attraction. So great was he sensation that two little yellow iaired, bright-eyed urchins, just loosed 'ro the embrace of Morpheus, plung id through the dewy grass, perched ;hemselves upon the fence by the ;treet's side and gazed upon our little artv until it vanished from their ;ight. We were somewhat struck with this ery manifest interest so freely exer ised toward us, and, indeed, were not little embarrassed, for if our vehicle nd te:uu were not such as are com nonly used for traveling purposes, we >no mneansa aimed to create -the im ression that we were a part of a dis anded circus or a crowd of wander g Gypsies. As we proceeded on our way it eemed that the people became more mnd more determined to make us the ~bject of their gaze; but we resolved iot to suffer it longer. We were omewhat at a loss to know how to ex ~cute our determination, but at last ye hit upon an expedient. The bar el of the telescope very closely re embled a small brass field piece and ye determined to bring it into use. At this juncture we reached Pros erity. The inhabitants of this busy ittle town eyed us closely, but we oncluded not to bring our field piece oto use fearing that the town author. ties might think that we were hostile o the peace, and, therefore, give us uarters in the town prison. After leaving this pleasant little own we soon bad an opportunity to ry our experiment. Little negroes egan to flock to the roadside and to ;aze upon us seemingly with great stonishment.. Our artillerist adjust d his piece, and we soon had the leasure of witnessing the broken and *ying columns of the enemy. Our trataem1 was a perfect success, and s our party dashed onward our field iece made havoc among the little ne ro urchins. Everywhere we put bem to flight. We went "from con ering to conqjuer,'' and as the blue utlines of the mountain burst upon s we put the last enemy to flight, d feelings of triumph like those of re brave buoyed up our spirits. We were now very near the base of ec mountain and had received several scruits, consisting oIf Messrs. Sligh, 'ueer, Wilson and others. We ate inner and began immediately to make reparations to ascend the heights. le wended our way toward the West ~ end, and soon the click of the The mountain evidently rests upon a solid bed of mica and talcose slates. This torwation can bo seen 'on the :.. side where a small branch wiMhes LU base of ihe nomutain, the strata runUin, arinst , xactlY East an1 Wet. It mway :als., he v. ry ad vanftagt-muly obsermt at the Eastern end where it is laid btare by :1 small creek. This is sufficieint pr4:of that the mountain rests upon a solid mass of this valuable rock. On the Western side, about half way up the mountain, pure white tale can be seen jutting forth in great abundance. Brown hematite and many other rocks of a feldspathic character are plentiful. Mica and thit films of irou ore form iimportant elements in the coipusition of the rocks. The crest of the mountain is cover ed with a thick stratum of quartz rock. This formation is said to re semble very closely that found upon the top of King's Mountain. It is found in very large angular blocks, and the side which has been exposed to the weather is occasionally studded with crystals of kyanite. Crystals of pure quartz may sometimes be picked up from among these immense beds of quartzose rock. There is everywhere abundant evi dence of iron ore, and M. Tuowey, who miade a geological survey of the mountain in the year 1845, directs the attention of the owners of the moun taiu to the mining of this, and to the quarrying of the Slate, instead of. spending fruitless labor in search for gold among the quartz beds. On the Eastern end may be observ ed a circular wall of stone, which is known as the "Old Indian graveyard." This is evidently the work of man and may interest the curious. Many theories could be invented as to how it came into existence; but since no one remembers the origin of it the real purpose. for which it was built r6ust forever remain a m'ystery. The next item of interest is Lever's gold mine. This may be seen on the South-eastern side of the mountain. It consists simply of a pit cut in the mountain's side, and at its farthest ex tremity is about ten feet deep. It is about eight feet wide and nea*rly thirty feet long. There can be seen no indi cations of the precious metal. The clay is of a very red, stiff character, and is occasionally interspersed with grains of mica. We were told that the miner met with no success what ever. We thence visited the old mill site, noted on account of having been one of the first mills built in that country. The house and machinery has long since fallen down. It was built and formerly owned by (Cul. Adam Sum mier. Thence we returned to the residence of Mr. 0. P. Fulmer, who had kindly taken care of ouir stock while we were engaged in the investigation of the mountain. We were soon (in our way to New berry, which place . we reached at about nine o'clock, P. M. Thus ended the first geological ex cursion ever taken by the students of Newberry College. It was, indeed, a day pleasantly and profitably spent. To Messrs. Rikard, Welch, Aull and Fulmer the class begs leave to return their sincerest thanks for favors be stowed. - Very respectfully, J. RETLAW TIEINAD.
