Eoeonrase Tiiem. This is commencement season and N many young men and ladies will be turned out to battle for suctjess in life. It is a common saying" that the average college graduate enters the world with his spirits buoyant and with beautiful and fancif ul dreams of how easily it will be for him to stem the desperate currents of adversity and how easily it -will be for him to mount on the highest peaks of fame from whose heights he-e^n, by a slight turn of the Jiand, shape the~^tjn?es of his conn S^ ,y try; many will be the air castles built b>* him during the few week* after his sheep skin is given him amid the showers of bouquets from his young lady friends?castles, too surpassing in beauty, grandeur and sublimity of dc*igu those of any kuown age, and in these castles the little graduate with his sheep skin under his arm is the chief personage; he will picture all sm*ts nf ?scenes attenuated with the most trying: circumstances iu which lie is to figure as the chief actor, and receives, by his being the winner of a sheep skin, the applaudits of .multitudes. So he will imagine. Tin's may be an exaggerated statement of the frame of mind the average college graduate enters the world, but, however that may be, it takes but a few months to knock all this ephemeral nonsense out of him. It is well that he does eijter the world with such bright hopes; for when the shock comes, it falls on him like a thunder stroke and he is so electrofied with the realizations of life that he never again allows these foolish dreams to waste the gray matter iu his brains. His education now begins to be of some service to him: he sees that there was a purpose in that college training; he begins to turn it to some-practicable purposes; he now becomes a useful citizen, or rather he is in a fair way to become one. St is upon our young men that much of the material grovfrth of the State depends, both college graduates and those who have not enjoyed the blessings of an education?and it is the duty of those who have the good of the State at heart to encourage these young beginners of life, even if it be only a kind word or a meaning smile or welcome mro tne ousmess activities of life. They will appreciate it some <lav. The voungm&n, >'ou mustrememt ? ber, has just left the walls of a college where, there can be 110 doubt of it; the strongest ties of friendship are welded: and while there he has been wont to receive the cheers of his frieds in his success and their sympathies in Ms troubles. He misses this { in the beginning of his carqpr in the j world and oftentimes feels the want j of these friends7 advise, cheer and sympathy, sorely. It is a matter of regret that too many of the men in the vigor of young manhood are leaving the State, and it is the duty of its citizens to do all in their power to induce them to remain among us, and aid in raising the success of our people to a higher level.

Editors: If I were ever ^ ! determined to do any thing, I now feil 1 j equally determined to write more frei quently for The Herald. And 1 while I say this, I know that promises j j unfulfilled are worse than no promises. < But the demonstration of this one will ( supply more than usual either for the paper or the waste basket, as your * taste may suggest; in either of which I shall endorse your choice. But I ! must make a transition from these ! prefatory thoughts, and write about something, or else my letter -will be : like sermons we sometimes hear, with ' a big introduction, but a very ltitlo ' sermon, or a big- portico, with a small j house stuck behind. i The first thing on docket up here is j the weather. Well, it is simply, and ' to all intents and purposes, unmiti- i gably hoi. But whether I made this < ' last adverb or not, the thermometer, 1 of late, ranges about the middle of j p. m. from 92 to 94 in shade. , I am living this year in Newberry, but hardly a mile from the Laurens 1 line; half my Work is in Laurens, the other half in Newberry. As to the , .crops, the wheat crop has proved to . be very light, so -with fall oats, but the spring oats have turned out finely, ' in fact far beyond all expectation. ! The cotton and com crops look well. . Our people plant a great deal of corn. Some of our farmers have not got out . of the grass yet, but like the celebrated school teacher, Ignoramus, when asked : by the school committee whether he had been through the arithmetic, replied he had gone far enough to see | through. ' As to politics things are quiet, but as indicative of the situation I will say i our people on the Laurens side recently organized a Democratic club of seventyr seven members, seventy Tillman and ; seven anti-Tillman men* the anti-Till IllilU iukii nau nu iv|jic3cuiauuu 111 tug County Convention. Now Messrs. I Editors, you must not blame me for this, for I had nothing in the world to . do with it. I believe most of our . people up here tlimk that the combined . efforts to break Tillman down does not ' arise so much from the outs trying to , get in, as from the "ins" trying to , stay in. I-believe that the opposition . to Tillmau is now gaining friends for . him. Some of our people cannot see why a., democrat should be broken down by democrats when the Tillman men will vote for the nominee of the ? September Convention whoever he may be. I On Mondav 16th inst., I wpnt up to [ Greenville, for a few days rest, as I 1 had been somewhat broken down ^ both mentally and physically, and re* mained until the commencement ^ exercises of both of our colleges were I over. The Female College gave diplomas to twenty-two young ladies, ' one of them, Miss Ladie Manly, was j especially distinguished by taking a post-graduate course for the past two ' .years, and received the degree of A. 1 M. The calisthenic exercises, in which forty young ladies were engaged at c the same time, was not only beautiful, but as appeared to me," absolutely perfect. I doubt whether any soldiers were ever so thoroughly drilled m the manual of arms, &c, as these young ladies were in the various exercises in . which they were engaged. Every step, every movement was in exact } time to the soft and mellow tones of B the piano. Some new exercises were introduced, the last I think was too ? severe for girls generally, or perhaps I r should say they were kept on the floor f. too long. One of the young ladies, (a member of one of my 'churches) sat near me when it was over, I observed f? t ? ... :ji? j sue was uieaiumy LUU rupiuiv, unu 1 was evidently weary. The Furman University gav; diploj mas to eleven young meiu seven of these delivered their graduating ora> tions.

"perjured Senator*," %ud interested in l their vindication, d? me the kindness ! and justice to publish the following \ article on the subject of census pre. pared by .Senators Buist and Srnvthe. T. W. Woodward. To the Editor of the New sand Courier: Capt. Tillman has on several occasions } seen fit to denounce those members of i the State Sonate who voted against the 5 census and reapportionment bills. We > have wailed to see whether any one, ' other than ourselves, would give the reasons for snch action. We are unt willing longer to have such reasons I unstated, especially in view of ihe recent attack on that upright soldier : and gentleman, Judge Izlar, whose ' pusitiou necessarily forces him to keep ; silence. THE FACTS ARE AS FOLLOWS: The General Statutes of the State r eoutained and now contain the general | provisions for taking the census. ' About two ?r three days before the j clrse of the session of 1881 a bill came , over from the House to the Senate, ] amending in certain particulars the ' general law; on the subject of the cen- 1 1 sus principally as to the rate per capita i ! to be paid, and in other minor points. ( While, however, it left the duty on the Governor of having an enumeration made, neither this bill nor the general law appropriated any money to enable him to hay?the work done. The bill, ! ' therefor^, as ft passed the House, was < incomplete, afod would have effected 3 no result. , On inquiry it was ascertained that the probable expense of a State ceusus * would amount to some $50,000 or < $60,000. This was the estimate made j by careful men, who we supposed to { Kn ?n o nAeitiAM t-/% tllAW l/V AH U? ^VCIVIVII I.V St?lV 1? The majority of the Senators, nearly 1 . all ot whose comities were unaffected < yby theiresult, did not foci justified in "putting upon the people this heavy y (expense. And as the House, which j was the body, whose membership was ) J in question, "had not deemed it proper i i / ^ I to take the respansibility of making -he appropriation necessary lor the !7?rK, these Senators, acting on the 3iil sent them by the Ilonse, rejected it. 1 The counties whose representation ?rould be 'affected by the census were ibont t-ouallv divided. The verv large uajotitvof fhe Senators were entirely liainte rested, as it did not affect their counties it any way. A majority of :hese disinterested Senators vuted ijjainst the bill, and by their votes it whs defeated. In 1835 the amendment to the Constitution was proposed, allowing reap[>ortionmeut on the basis the United States census ?f 1890 and thereafter, rhis was adopted by the vote of every Senator present except one, Mr. Reynolds, ot Beaufort. It was proposed ind passed as a fulfilment ot the .juirements ot' the Constitution providing for reapportionment, but as saying the taxpayers of the State the heavy sxpense of taking the census by the State. At the same session, 188o, the House igain sent over a bill ior taking tue :ensu<* by the State authorities. But is the amendment to the Constitution had b?en passed providing the other method for reapportionment, as a measure of economy to the State, the Senate did not feel called on to pass this bill. There was another seriobs objection, to wit: Whether an extra session oi the Legislature could legally be called to reapportion in time for the election in the fall of 188G. This had due consideration. But that which determined the matter was that another method for reapportionment had been provided, by which the taxpayers were saved some $50,000 or $60,000. The matter then came before the people of the State at the general election in 1886, when this amendment was submitted for their decision. It was adopted by an overwhelming popular vote. The people of the State thereby ratified and approved the acf5r?r? nf the T,pcrislfttnr<? in substituting vw" kMW -"O- ?rthis means of reapportionment, and saving them the heavy tax and expense of taking the census by the State. And the people themselves having tlms acted ou the question, it was settled finally. During the session of 1886 the bill to ratify this constitutional amendment came before the Senate. It was passed Kb tho irnfo r?f ?*prv XfMlfttnr CXCeOt w ~ 1 one. In 1887 and again in 1888 bills were introduced into the Senate to reapportion on the basis of the ceusu* of 1880. These were opposed as not being within the scope of the amendment, which provided that the fir*t reapportionment should be made under the census of 1890. There were also practical difficulties, as for instance with Charleston County, which had been divided since that census into Charleston and Berkeley. This prevented any accurate or proper reapportionment on the basis of the census of 1880. The Senate, therefore, by a majority, rejected the bills. This if a simple statement of the case. We do not propose to indulge in ? n turn rsprjitfi Iftmnifttre or to be ... J ... 37-7- drawn into vituperation or recrimination. We desire solely to give the reasons which governed the Senate in its action. Augustioe T. Smythe, Geo.
