For County Treasurer, HOW THEY STAND. * We feel that a statement of ti:e attitude of our candi1ates for the General Assembly towards the State University and the lien law, as alrea'dy declared b)y themselves, will not prove uninteresting. Mr. Sligh, candidate for the Sen ate, thinks. that the institution whicb goes by the name of the "South Carolina University," is not in fact a university, but is simply a college in competition with the de nominational colleges of the St' He thJinkF, tberefore, that the clanse of the Constitution whieb says that "the General Assembly shall provide for the maintenance of the State Unniversity'' does not require 'the representative to support the university as it now stands. lie i'ould vote for an ap propriation to make it a univerai ty in fact, as well as in name, if ho could se' his way clear to do so. He thinks that the reason which originally called for the enactment of the lien law no longer eists, and he is, therefore, in favor of the repeal of that law. He opposes 'ho law principally on acount of the high rate of interest that is often exacted under its operations, Mr. Pope. candidate for the House, would not be opposed to a real university, fif the State could support one, but he will not vote an appropriation to the present "so, sled' University. Ills view of the Constitutional provision is sim Ilar to that of Mr. Bligh. Hre is in favor of the repeal of thme lien law. HIe thinks that the law L bas, from the time of its enaictinept, been a cnrse to ont peopis apd a disgrace to our statute books. Mr. Schumpert, eandidate for the House, will feel bonnd to vote an appropriation to the State Unilver sity as long as the ConstitiLtion di. rpets that the "General Assembly sall provide for its maintenance." The niversity gow in existene was the only one in existence whmen the Constitution was adopted, and the Constitution must refer to that r.institution. IIe is williIng, how ever, to refer it to the people, nbiIue ~th Coaditatlon shall be altered. in this particular. He is in favor of the repeal of the lien laW. We have not heard Mr. Hardy, candidate for the House, declare his pinions on these subjects, but we think that he is opposed to both the university and the lien law. It is likely that our repre.enta &ives will have an opportunity-to make themselves heard on these questions, at the next meeting of the General Assembly. THE STATE HOUSE AND THE LEGISLATURE. We wonder if our next Legisla ture will have the time and the will to take into cousideration the com pletion of the State House. We think it about time for this matter to be acted upon, and !before the buildings fall into greater decay. We have but little hope of a con summation so devoutly wished, still we throw out a hint. Too much time is wasted in matters of little importance, and it is time one of such moment be thou;:ht of. In saying, last we(k, tiat the primary canvass in oar cou:ty b:d not been managed at all, we meant no reflection upon the Executive Committee. It has not been re garded as one of the duties of that committee to manage the canvass. We hope that the next canvass will be managed and that the Ex ecutive Committee will appoint a meeting at each voting precinct in the county, in order that the peo ple may bear . the candidates and the candidates may meet the people -without going to in numerable barbecues for that pur pose. We think, too, that there should be an appointed time for the opening of the primary canvass. Even "linked sweetness" may be too long drawn out. If we had our way, and it is a for tunate thing that we have not, there would be only one box at each pre cinct, and all the officers would be voted for on one ticket. The tickets would, of course, have to be printed with blanks. Cleveland's letter of acceptance contains many elements of strength. It is marked by brevity, concise ness, clearness, and manliness. The sentences go straight to the mark, and the document does not at any point betray an inclination to dodge the leading issues of the day. Whbat we most heartily ap prove in the letter is the sugges tion the constitution should be so amended as to r'-nder it impossi ble for the President to be his own successor. Until that is done, we shall hope' in vain for practical and beneficial civil service reform. So long as the President hopes to suc ceed himself, he will use the presi destial patronage for personal and 'political ends, and the one hundred' thousand place-men who hold office by his appointment and at his will must obey his behests. We -state', .as a matter of infor in'atIon, that the college in Colum bia is not the South Carolina Uni versity, as some persons onppose In 187$. the University was divided. into two branches-the South Caro lina College, in Columbia, for white boys, and the Clafin College at Orangeburg, for the negroes. Cleveland is 'a great man. A Ik publican 'editor says that he buys his trousers by~ the acre lia ne, too, is a great waan. He buys his railroad stocks by the thousand at the price of his official integrity. Editor Crews, of Laurens, has come to the conclusion tbat the result of a primary electio~n is as doubtful as the verdict of a petit nury. ______ The Greenville Ketce very point. edly remarks on the attitude as samed by the--negroes in Chailes ton, Sumnter and other parts of the State, in reicM4on to the killing of Prince Bowet~ and Mose William, by policemien -while endeavoring to arrest them, Indignatisou meot jugs and conventions are held, and all manner of in8animatoryuspeechts ol' the most threatening charact.er tire ma~de Tihio.X.a says t "<[The only effect of such foolish and incendiary proceedings will be to put the colored people in the po sition of friends of law breakers a.nd oppi.nents of. the law, and do paoe them~ of public sympathy and attention whern they have i-eal grievances tc.e.aumplain of.''

A Cordial Endorsement of the Demceratic Platform-A Masterly View of the Labor Quastion-An Honest, Simple andPlain Government the Need of the Coun try--One Term a Guarantee of Parer Administrations. ALBaxy, N. Y., Augu.t 19.-The fol'owing letter was received to-day by Col. Lamont, Secretary to Governor Cleveland, who is at upper Saranac Falls, with instruction to make it pub lie on its receipt : ALBANY, N. Y.. August 1S, 1,84. GENTLF%ir:. I have received your communlication tiated July 18t h, 1834, informing me of my nomination to the office of President of the United States by the Natio al Democratic Conven tion lately aesembled at Chicago. I accept the nomination with grateful appreciat ion of the supreme honor con ferred and a solemn sense-of the re spothsibility which in its acceptance I assume. 1 have carefully considered the plat form adopted by the Convention and cordially approve the same. S > plain a statemnuent. of the Dttnweratic failh and principles upon wlhi.-h that p:ir:y appeals to the stiffm-ges of the people neels no supplement.. or e.l)lanat iIn. It hould be remembered that ih: oii.-e :f Preshlent i< e s-e:tialiv cx - cutive i i its inattr+". The l:tw-e-tvel by the legisl itive br.t m-h of t he- g? % er,oi-it the Chief Exeenl i l, h :n'l faithfnliy to e:forc', atnd -wiwa the w's lom11 of the 1 o.it.iral party wiielh selects one f it- eie:h,r .:s its uotn inee for that office h.Ls outline i:s pol icy and declared its principles, it seems to me that nothing in the character of the office or the necessities of the ease requires more from the can(lidate ac cepting such nomination than the sug gestion of certain well known truths so absolutely vital to the safety and welfare of the nation that they cannot be too often recalled or too seriously enforced. We proudly call ours a gov ernment 6f the people. It is not such when a class is tolerated which arro gates to itself the management of pub lie affairs, seeking to control the peo ple instead of representing them. Par ties are the necessary outgrowth of our institutions, but the government is not - by the people when one party fastens its control upon the country and perpetuates its power by eajoling and betraying the people instead of serving them. Government is not by the people when the result which should represent the intelligent will of free and thinking men is or can be de -termined by tire- shameless' corrup tion of their suffrages. - When an election to office shall be the selection by'. the voters of one of their -number to assume for the time n. public tr.;st, instead of his dedication to a profession of policies when the hold ers of the ballot, quickened by a sense of duty, shall avenge truth betrayed and pledges broken, and when the suffrage shall be altogether free and uncorrupted, a full realization of the government by the people will be at hand. And of the meana to this end, not one vould in my judgment be more efective than an amendment to the Constitution di-qualifying the President from re-election. Wheu.we consider the patronage of this great oflice, the allurements of Its. powers, the temptation to retaini pulblic place on1ce gained, andl, more than all, the availability a party tindls in an incunm bent whom bor-des, with zeal born of benefits received and fostered by hope of favors yet to come', stand ready to dild with money and trained political service, we recognize in the-eligibility of the President for re-electiori a most serious datnger to that calm, deliberate andl intelligent political action which must characterize the government by the people. A true A merican sentinetnt recog nizes the dignity of labor. andl the fact that hmo.nor lies in honest devotion to it,. contented labor is an element of na tional pro;pVrity. The ability to work constituts 'the capital an~d the wage. -of labor is the incone~ of a~ va:it onber of cur po1,u'a-' n; ar.d this interest -houl: be jealo ily .protected.-. Our workinmen are not asking ini.reas opab!e indulgetnce, butt as itntelligenit. Stud ma:nly ciuizenms they seek the same con1itie:-at ion~whrch those decmanid who haive ot her interests at staike. They shzould receive their fnll shaare of the care and-a-ttention of those who make' and execute the laws, to the end that the wants and needs of employers and employed shall alike be subservient and the proaperity of the eQnn-try, thles common heritage of both, be advanced.. As melated .to. this subject, while we. should not discourag~e the itmmigrat ion of those who conic to acknowledge al-' ieghit:ce to our government and add to our citizen popnition, yet as a means of. protection to our working zmn, a .diffetrenit rule should prevail concerning those, who if -they comte, or are brought to our land, donct i:. tend to bccamc America:ns butt will injuriously compete -with those just ly entitled.to our field of labor... Ia the letter.aeeptinig the nomin,a tion to thme oficee of Governor of New York nearly, two years ago I ma de the following -statement to which I have. steadily adhered:"The laboringclaisses. constitute the main part of our popu latIon. They should be protected in their efforts peaceably to assert th'*ir rights whzen endangered by aggregated capital, and all statutes on this sub ject should recognize the care of the. State for hontest toil and be framed wvith a. view of improvi the condi tion .of the wvorkingman. 'A proper regard -for the welfare of the wotking-' -mani being inseparably c-onneecd wIth the integrity of our instItutions, none. of our citizens are more interested than they in inaugurating a war against any corrupting hrifluence which seek to. prevent~ the benefleent pur posea of our governmtent, and none should be msore,watehful of the artful machLnati.ons of those who allure them to self..inflected iujury-. In a free country t.he eartalhnent of the absolute Hlghts -of individuals should only be suek as is essential to. the peace and good order of the cons munity'. The limit bet ween the proper subjjets of governnment at control and those which can ho moro ittIngly left to--the moral ~sinse and self-imposed restraint of thec citizen, should be care fully kept in view. Thus9, laws tt; necessanly ltiterkering wIth the haibits and customs of any of our is' ople, which are not offensive to the mom-al sentiments of the civilized world, anud which arc conslstent with good citizen ship~ and public welfare, are utnwise axuatious. -j The comm~eree of the nation to a great extent determine.s its supremacy.

The selection and retention of subor dinates in- the government employ shonuil depend' upon their ascertained fitness ant the value of their work, and they should be teither expected nor allowel to do quiiestionable party service. The interest of the people will be better protected. The opportunity of public labor and duty, with improved public einplc.y ment, will be open to all who can deinoustrate their fitness to ctitnr it ; ioseemly scramble for plaae uIiler thero governimnit, with the consequent im tunity which embitters official life, will cease, and the public departments will not be filled with those who conceive it to be their first duty to aid the party to which tliey owe their places, instead I of rendering a patient and honest re turn to the people. I believe that the public temper is such that. the voters of the land-are prepared to support the party which gives the best promise of administering the governmentc in the.1 honest, simple and plain maii:e:r which. is eonsistent with it.s character and purtoses.
