Olves Thake' (Special to The State.i) Bonnettsville, Sept. 1.-A large orowd of the admirers of $enator McLaurin from the town and 6bunty serenaded him at his residence this evening amid great anthusiasmn and rejoicing. The Senator, on account of his health, could only express his app -eciation of the support and con tidence reposed in him by his neigh borR and the people of the State; pledged himself to try to prove worthy of the trust and predicted the dawn of a new era in the State. Marlboro feela honored in honoring her worthy son. Col. Knox. Livingston was cal upon and mado a short speech/to the large crowd present, after-. Which refreshments woer-ared by the The ladios of Clarendon county have sent Senator McLaurin a large basket of pretty flowers. Your correspondent interviewed Senator McLaurin for the State as follows: Senator McLaurin was found at his home preparing to go to Monut Airy White Sulphur Springs. The senator was asked about his health, and replied that he was nearly well and was satisfied that a few weeks in the mountains would restore him to his accustomed good health. "What about the election ?" "Well, it is not as large a vote as usual, but I.attribute much of that to the supreme confidence of my friends that I was bound to win any way. I am not surprised at the re sult, for up to the time of my illness there was hardly, an audience that we addressed Nihore it was not clearly apparent that I had a ma jority. My election, so far as I am concerned, is the culminatioin of four years oj work upon the .lines of 'peace and unity.' Ever since I wrote the 'Appelt letter'.and inaug urated what is known as tho 'Forty movement' I have been looked upon as peculiarly representative upon the Reform side the same ideas and principles that Eark did upon the Conservativo side. An attempt was made this year to draw factional lines, but it utterly failed. Reform ers and Conservatives worked side by side fj'i.y election, and today I *"t(nd asthe 'ieseritht!ve of no factiim, but of the reunited -white Democracy of South Carol in a." "What have you to say of the campaign methods of your oppo nents ?" "WVell, I do not care in the hour of triumph, while they are drinking the bitter dregs of defeat, to be so ungenerous as to refer to them in unkind terms. The people have turned their 'pictures to the wvall,' and politicians of the Irby-FJ.vans stripe are done In South Carolina, let us hope, forever. From hence forth it will take brains, character and attainments to win distinction in this State. No future campair n will ever be conducted upon a vul gar and low plane. I do not think that the tomato-fig syrup variety of *statesmenship will long obtain,' but men of more ability, more iniform-a tion apd greater usefulness will be seloffeod for pub)lic office. and 'each ' bwill have to stand on its own "'There is one feature of this cam paign that was peculiarly oxaspe -rating to mae, to wit: the attacks which were made uponGQov. Ellerbe. I fe'lt that he was made the victim merely because of his appointment of me. I defended him as best I could, and my opponents soon found that Ellerbn needed no defense.I never witnessed a handsomer thing than t,be rebuke given Colonel Irby at WValhalla for his attaok upon Ellerbe. These attacks made 'my triumuphat election, a vindication of Elierbe as much so as of me, and 1 rejoice in it, because I believe he lasn made a conscientious anid true chief executive." "What about your tariff vieWS ?" "The e ion is a vindication of mIly c9ie and I want to say that thelre were several splendid editor. 4fd in The News and Cour'er on'the tariff question, which I have no doubt contributed largely to my suc. cess. The News and Courior of hist Monday was a flue canpaign paper, and the editorial in the State run ning the Greenville News 'into a hole,' was the finest thing of the sort that I ever read. "I want to say this: that so far as my ambition is concerned, it is completely satisfied., My only de sire now is to woithily wear the honors the people have heaped upon me. I am very proud of my vote in Charleston. I love the old city for itsbrave, generous people, its hietbrio memories aid the trials phich she has borne so bravely. I SVant to see every discrimination against Charleston wiped out. She has qut herself in tor.ch with the progressive thought of the balance of the State and she ought to be 'fed out the same spoon' the balance are. "I wish to thank the people all over the State - for their generous confidence and I say to each and every one that no man shall ever blush because he cast his ballot for me. I have received hundreds of telegrams and letters and just as rapidly as I can I intend to acknow ledge personally the receipt of each. "To Col. Neal, Mr. Blease and others, who, when I was stricken at Yorkville, took charge of the fight and carried it on to victory, I am unable to find language to express the profound gratitude- that I feel. They did their work intelligently and effectively and much of the cre dit is due to thio superb manage mept." C. F. S. ANDREws ASKED TO REMAIN. Trustees of the Brown University Ileg Him to Reconaider-Rgret their isty Action and Insist That the Com mittee wa Entirely Too For. ward. Providence, it. I., Sept. 2.-The corporation of Brown , University voted to-day, after a long meeting, to I request President Andrews to with draw his resignation as president of the institution. The request was embodied in a resolution containing the following: "To the President of Brown Uni versity: - The corporation of Brown University has this day received with the greatest regret your resig niation as president. It most earn estly desires that you will withdraw it.. It conceives that it was writtenI without full knowledge of the posi tion of the corporation. With the earnest hope that a statement to you bearing the formal sanction and ap proval of the governing body of theI university as a whole may bring us again into hearty accord, the cor poration desires to assure you that it in no way sought the severance of our official relations, which so far as is known have been most cordial from the time of your acceptance of the presidency. The only vote and only expression hitherto made by the corporation bearing upon the ques. tion at issue was at the last June meeting and considered of the ap pointment of a committee to confer with you to the interests of the uni versity. The extent of the ant,hority thus given to its committee was that of confereiice which it fully believes you would unhesitatingly admit was a legitimate and friendly exercise of its privileges relating ini the-terms of the vote to the interest of the uni versity, which yoti and the corpora-I tion have closely at heart." "It is perfectly true that t,he vote1 in question was occasioned by the differing views entertained on the one hand by you and on the other hand by most-and probably all of the m(embers of the corporation as to the. free and unlimited coinage of silver by the United States, so far as affect-1 lng the interests of the university and the fear that your views with reference to it, publicly known or expressed, might perhaps in some degree be assumed to be represen tative and not merely individual. "It was not in our minds to pro.I scribe the path in which you should tread or to administer to you any oillcial rebuke, or to restrain your freedom of opinion or reasonable liberty of utterance, but simply to intimate that it would be the part of wisdom for you to take a less active part in exerting partisan discussions and apply your energies more ox 3lusively to the affairs of the col lege." The resolution closes by asking 'he withdrawal of Professor Andrew's resignation. In addition to a letter from Secro. ;ary Olney, the now famous protest >f twenty-five of the faculty of Brown md a number of petitions, including me from college professors and pub i men asking for the retention of kndrews, were also presented and onsidered. Among the signers are: Daniel C. Iilman, President of John Hopkins Jniversity; Charles W. Eliot, Presi lent of Harvard; C. K. Adams, Pres dent of the University of -Wiscon uin; Seth Lowe, President of Colum )ia; T. J. Coolidge, former Ambas iador to France; W. G. Sumner, Professor of Political Economy at Vale; John Fisher, the Hisiorian; William Lloyd Garrison; J- T. Trow >ridge, the author; Josiah Quincy, ffayor of Boston; Professor James 1. Jewett, University of Minnesota. THE CONSTABULARY. What a Prominent Prohibitionist Says. The fact that Governor Ellerho I ad decided to lischarge the con- < tabulary on October Ist was the I ibief topic of conversation in certain i luarters yesterday. Particularly did i he local prohibitionists disensH the t ituation, and several in Columbia I vho have been actively engaged in i he fight for' prohibition thought -1 hat with the discontinuance of tbe * onstabulary the disponety law I vould be so openly violated, and the i )olicemen overlooking violations, f ,hat the chances for prohibition at I he next session of the General As- i lembly were very encouraging. t Mr. T. J. LaMotte, who has been >rominent among the prohibtionists I of the State, when questioned on the ( natter, said: "There never was any t ecessity for the establishment of h uch a constabulary force as has t >on maintained since the dispensary ( aw wont into effect. I and those 3 vho have been with me have always I naintained that the executive pow- i irs under the laws in this State are I ufficient to enforce the dispensary< awy. In other words, there is no aw on the statute books which is ustainod by the sense of thme p)eople >f the country that cannot be 1 horoughly and completely enforced< broughi the ordinary officers of the I aw. -So the recent announcement 1 >f tihe chief executive should be comn-1 nended. A groat mistake wvas nado when the appointment of thoser xtra constables were made. It had he offect of arraying a class of men gainst the sentiment of the peoplo, Lnd those wvho constituted the con tabulary have been men unfamiliari ith the enforcemeut of any laws,j ~nd even in cases when they were ight a blunder was committed " Mr. LaMotte said that it is begin- I Ling to look like extreme measures 1 Lre dying out, and that the chances or prohibition would continue to in rease. He said that much is now] >eing done in the way (if sendingi ut cirenlars to the people of the: Itate, and that personal appeals vould be made to every member of he legislature in tue interest of a >rohibitory law.4 Mr. LaMotte says no decision has >cen rendered in the case in wvhich heo anted to bring some time ago. 1 t i vill be remembered that Mr. La-< k1otte asked Magistrate Smith for a warrant charging that the .liconaes of1 he beer dispensaries in Jolumbia vore not permitted by law. Magis rate Smith declined to issue the varrant, and Judge Gary deciding< ,hat the warrant should issue, the sse was appealed to the supreme sou' .. Although the matter has >een before the court for some time io intimation as to an early decision man yet been made. INDIANS AND WHITES nILL AItP WITTE% OF TiE MAlt. MtAGES WITUMAVAOIC EDSEIN-S. IHe DIscuse Ethnology--Ref* re To the Rft. el-nt iatrlbe Is the 1ostosl Tranmeript. There Are Meit of fianly Minds. Not long ago some writer from fite west told us that white people were marrying Indians girls more 'requently than over before. "In leod," he said, "the dusky maidens 3oom to prefer the pale faces to 1heir own race and color." This provokes me to write a let ior about Indians for the special ileasure and benefit of our young eople. Boys and girle like to read tbout them, I know, but most of the itories that appear are more roman ,ic than true. During the war our >rigade camped one night on the Jhickahominy river, about thirty niles below Richmond, and we were ihown the very stone on which Cap ain John Smith laid his head for ?owhattan's club when the beauti. ul Pocahontas rushed wildly in the )ircle and throw herself upon his >osom and saved his life. About ,he stone I have my doubts, but it is listorically true that Powhattan ived there, and that his daughter, a ovely lss of fourteen, did save [ohn Smith's life, as he in his letter .o the queen of England says, "at ,be minute of my execution she haz ,ardnd the beating out of her own >rains to save mine." She after vards married John Rolfe, with her at her's consent, and from that un ion -amo the Randolph's of Virginia, md a little strain of that same Po Lhontas blood flows in my wife's reins, and she is proud of it and lovos o tell the story to her numerous and ovoly offspring. That little strain aRn't bigger than a cambric needle, mnt it has never lost its strength. 3he would make a right good Pooa iontas now if anybody that she loved vas in danger. In fact, she has iome Indian traits still lingering in ier bosom, and should have been iamed Indiana when she was chris ened. But it seems that ever since Poca iontas married a whito man the In lian maidens of all the civilized ribes have been willing to do the ano thing. It is well known that he daughters of the Crooks and 'herokees in Georgia always said Fes when a good-looking white man >roposed marriage; but such unions voro not hasty nor deceitful, they ad to be in earnest and from lhon. 'rable motives. If ani Indlian maid: vaR betrayed by a designing white Klan, lhe could hardly escape, for the vhole tribe became avengers of >100(d. Her virtue was her dearest >rnament, and1( if she lost it the third inger of her left hand was dismem >ered at the seconid joint, andl that oft ber shame alwvays visible. Now it seems to be settled by the non of science that the Indian be ongs to the Caucassian or white 'ace, or else lhe is aboriginal and is a ace of his own. -Ho is neither Mon ~olian, Malay nor negro. He was irst found hero on the continent, nst as the negro wvas found in Af. ica. As the elephant wvas found in tsin, the kangaroo in Australia and he llama in Porn, so the Indian may >o a native of the manor born, for geologists say that this continent is h1e oldest by several thousand years. But where lhe came from or how he got here is a question too deep for no. The oxistence of Aztecs in bdexico is still an unsolved problem, mud who were the mound builders is matter of dloub)t and1 speculation. )no thing, howe'ver, so('ms certain, hat the, race is doomed to extinction. rhe comnind ''bo fruitful and mul iJply" does not belong to them. Ac sording to the United States census eports, in 18t3 there wore in the United .States and territories 400, l64t; in 1860, 339,421; in 18'70, 313,. 712; in 1880, 306,543; in 189)0, 248,. 2538. Of these 58,806 are classed as sivilized. Th le Cherokees and Crooks yore sent fronm Georgia &d the In. :an TIorritory tabout sixty ye. . Igo. The former then numbered riear 15,000; they number less than hat now. What is the matter with uheml They have fine lands, both fr pasturage and cultivation, and tht bounty of the government -would nearly support. them. They have good framed houses to live .in and have as good schoolhousoes and churches as our country people have in Georgia. They are classed as civilizod, and dress just like white folks, and cook and eat as nourish. ing food as we do. What is the matter? I asked of one of their ed ucated ministers. "God knows," said he. I mingled with their people and talked with them. They did not seem to be sad or distressed about anything. It was not that the chil dren died before maturity, but that mature died faster than children were born to take their places. The exception to th;s decline of the race seemed to be -in the families where white men had intermarried with In dian maidens. These unions were prolific of children who were healthy and handsome, and always bred after the mother, having her cinnamon color, her straight black hair and high cheek bones. There is no ap parent mixture of blood, an in the mulatto who is the half brood of the whites and blacks. But these In dian types weaken in succeeding gen erations of quadroons and octoroons, and if ever the tribes are saved from extinction, it will be by this increas ing amalgamation with the white race. These unions do not seem to shock the sentiment of mankind as do the unions of whites with nogroes. Even Vassar college would not be horror stricken at the discovery of an octo roon among her pupils. Indian stu dents may be found in many of our colleges and are not rejected at ho tels or boarding bouses or thoaters or churches or on railroads. In some of the tribes, as in tue Crooks and Cherokees, their features, their beau ty and their traits of character ap proximate the Anglo-Saxon. School oraft, who is the highest authority, says their features are regular, Qieir expression noble; they are taciturn and stoicial to the last degree, cun ningand watchful, persovering in the pursuit and revengeful in the destru-e Lion of their enemies, hospitable and grateful for favors, a close observer of natural phenomena, his tempera ment poetic and imagination and his simple eloquence of great dignity and beauty of expression. Many of the ,omen are really handsome, and their skin is thinner, softer and smoother than is the white race's. Bouainot was a very handsome, impressive man even in his old ago'. I met hirq at Fort Smith some years ago. Hie was educated at Princeton. Hie was of a Cherokee and wvas born in Vann's valley near Rome. His mother was bried on a hill that overlooks Cave Spring. WVhen but a lad he was taken west with the bribe in 1837. Not long after that be was sent to Philadelphia to school and was adopted by Elias Boudinot, a wealthy philanthropist, and took his name. WVhile he lived hoe stood high as a learned andl elo quent advocate, and was the agent and ambassador of the tribe in all matters connected with the United States government. lbut now these tribes do not have to senid their chil dren so far away to get an education. What our government does is always well done, and handsome school houses are found all over the terri tories. In 1877 the policy of odui eating them was organized and $20, 000 appropriated. In 1880 it was increased to $75,000. In 1885 to $992,000, arnd in 1890 to $1,364,508. I reckon it is two or three mnillions by this time. And, besides this large amount, the different religious societies of the United States give largely to the cause, the Roman Catholic church giving near half a million annually and having charge of more schools than all the other denominations put together. T1hien, again, just think of the land they have got- -160 acres to each head of a family, 80 acres to each child eighteen years 0old and 40 to those younger. Just think of all the 0old and decrepid ones being supported being supported by the govern. ment and all the young ones edu cated free. Why, it would 'roemr that with all thin fraenalim am Private honofactions a child is for tunato to be born an Indian. Tie wards of the nation, whether red or black, are having a good timo. There was an old song that was sung by a lazy vagabond, and it said: "Oh, I wish I was a goose All forlorn, all forlorn, Oh, I wish I was a gooso Eating corn!" But now the song for our thous aads of tramps to sing is: "Oh, I wish I was an Indian!" It used to be that in our e dlogo text-books that population incriased in proportion to the comforts of 1.f i that the common people enjoyed. This theory lits the southern negro pretty well, for they continuo to multiply liko rabbits, in spito of 0ll the barbarity that Tlie Boston Traits cript accuses us of, but it (oes not fit the InJian, nor does it fit the ave rago Boston family, that never hais more than two children and wouldn't have any but for somebody to inherit the estatO. But that Hartford, Conn., Tines knocks the blacks out, and goes further in defense of the south than our own papers or preachers. Verily thero are iany of niany indils. 1im, Am%y 1EiE IN TiH MEXIUCAN WAIl. Tribute fron a Nortierni Il'apier, Whieh Ileallates to Totueh on hin Uroat-r (lory Later.
