Interestiui; Exercises of the Due 1 West Commencement. c On Wednesday morning last, at six * o'clock, in company with four charming ' young ladies and three select young gentlemen, we started out in a wagon for Duo West. After an enjoyable ride of a jillie over i\vo uuuix iiiuvi'u in of the (.' Jlege buildings whoso domes < sind spbr-s gleam out in tlic sunlight .-above the trees of the shaded groves, and ore we had had enough of our delightful drive we were landed upon the elassic ? sgrouud, with which to the young, no less 1 .-t'lau to the old, are so many pleasant .recollections associated. From early childhood, with few exceptions, we have J attended the annual festival of letters at Krskine College, where old loves and old ; friendships were renewed and new attachments formed. Hero it is on these /occasions that "love's young dream" has st> often based a hope for the realization : of youth's brightest picture of future iiiappiness. Here it is that the young Jovir h;is mapped out for his journey down life's way, a p:ith hemmed with the most delightful flowers, with never a serpent lurking beneath. And it is here that the student has graduated and start- ( ed on this journey with so many high ( hopes and commendable aspirations. t How many of these contemplated ] pleasures and honors have been realized j is not for us to say. i Since we went to Due West, ns printer's L devil, in the spring of 1S-31, at tlie tender |( age of twelve years, many have been the j( changes that have occurred. Then there were but few houses in I lie town. The rubbish incident to the recent construction of Lindsay Ilall had not yet been removed; the Literary Halls in the * College campus had not thon thought of; : '' flu* modest little village church ofth.it ' time Iihs been superseded by a larger | edilice of more modern structure; the Fe- 1 male Collego is the birth of a later * thought; tho village school was then 1 taught on the lot and in the building now s > owned and occupied by Mrs.*Kennedy, 1 while perhaps three-fourths of the * present dwelling houses have been put 1 up since the days when we wore the "car. 1 rier boy" for tho Krukine Mi.teellany, * then edited by the Itev. J, O. Lindsay. 1 While the contemplation of the growth 1 of the town, and the erection of so many * beautiful buildings afford a themo for so s much oleasure, Time ami the Great a "Reaper have not been idle. We have 1 been borne down by the resistless tide far 1 from our moorings. A number of the older men of that day have passed away to that "city which hath foundations whoso maker and builder is Clod,'' and the boys of that date are now in the vigor of manhood, holding the most important positions in tho community, the ^ church, and the Colleges, Time has 1 touched the remaining manly forms of that day, and thoyaro not now as buoyant ( and do not stand as erect as then, while "their hyacintfiine locks aro turned to gray." J?ut enough of this. n The exercises of the day took place in \ Lindsay Ilall, and besides music, consist- * ed of the following bill of fare; t Morning Exercises.' a okations.

We give the following c vorv brief synopsis: g The child, the savage, the unlettered <3, peasant selected as typical?no true conceptiou of their relations?the need of one the need of all. Thev must bo edit- ei rated?this term used in its broadest j tc nense to include all that profess of devel- j a) opment which impresses the conviction ; that man is something more than an in-j ?' dividual who is to live to himself and for ti hi nisei f. f This process of training has been slow. ( Indolence and interest often combine in 1 their opposition to truth. So long as men can use the ignorant in the perpetuation and enlarircinent of their influence. just so long will they resist l'ree discussion, bold and fearless Inquiry. cc The differences which divide men are ? often of the must trivial character?illustrated by a case taken from "Grey son & Letters," alM>ut the two kings who went C to war 011 account of the "blue pig with ... the black tail," etc. These divisions find a place not only in (1< the State?not only in politics, but also ai in religion. One contends for a certain OI form of church government, another for , the mode of an ordinance, another for a ritual service, etc., The contention in S?1 most cases impetuous and uncompromis-. 13 iug. It is the mission of liberal Christian' vulture to subordinate those differences . ?-to give them their true position. 01 Lend your influence, young men, to w whatever will promote the well-being of 0j your fellow-man, whatever be his party, r Jits sect or the circle in which he move*. ~ Fight for the truth, fight for it manfully ^ ?hut never make the mistake of putting tlie merolv incidental and non-essential for that which is vital and essential. In Dreseiitincr these dinlomas I cannot fail to im-ntioii the fact that a name which j for nour 40 years has appeared 011 every [ diploma awarded by .Erskine College, r" appears there no longer. But I mention c* the name of I)r.

We regret to learn that tho authoritie if tho Female College aro conlemplatinj ibolishing tho Art Department, and tha Miss True, the accomplished teaoher o his Department, will probably not re ;urn to the College unothor session. W ?ay we regret this change, because wi jelieve it to be ono of the most attraetiv "catures of tho Institution. Those \vh< lad the privilege of examining th tpeeinicns of drawings speak in the high ?st terms of the progress of tho class ant )[ the skill <?f the teacher. Charleston nnd Greenville. Jf the Railroad between here an< 'liarleston had for their object the clrivinj iwav of trade from the "City by tin Sea," we do not see how they could bet er accomplish that object than by pursu ng their proscnt plan of running th< rains, It seems to us, if the speed of th< rams cannot bo increased that the pas ienger train on the South Carolina ltoat night leave Charleston a littlo earlier tnd the Greenville train might wait fo; ts arrived in Columbia. If this trail lid not get to Greenville before ten o ;levcn o'clock at night, it would be a vas inprovemcnt on tho present arrange nent. vv Julo tnls would be of immense jenefit to the traveling public we do no :ee how this plan would cost the railrondi iny more to run the trains than it doe: ipon the present schedule. Charlestoi nust arouse herself from this llip Vai A'inkle sleep, if she wants our business A'o are to-day almost as near to New fork as to Charleston. A gontlemai n our office a few days ago, after read' ng our notice of the needed chango, re narked that "the subscription to th< . harleston dailies would be doubled ir his section if the change was effected." ?uick Transit?Tho Monntaius ant] the Sea Board Clasping Hands ! There is every reason to believe thai rrangements will shortly be perfected thereby daily trains will run througli rom Charleston to the up-country, withnit any detention at Columbia. The auhorities of the South Carolina Railroad lid the Greenville and Columbia Itaiload arc evidently determined to give the hroiifjh schedule a trial, and it is expectd that the announcement of the new de>arture will be made at an early day. Ii an not be doubted that the effect will be o largely increase the travel between the m-country and Charleston, and to enable 'harleston to recover the trade which has or years been elrifting to the North. A 'harleston merchant, who has been witching carefully what lias been said <ro and con, writes usas follows: "Yonr admirable editorial on the 'Road 0 'Fortune,' in yours of the 30th uIt., neets my cordial approval. Rapid transt bocom'os the spirit of the age, and proressivo men cvervwhero not only will oincide in but will advocate such Views. 1 part from this general sentiment, a rap1 communication with our up-country ? important, to every section of the tatc, and most important, in a commerial sense, to Charleston. Low rates of avel, return tickets available for a lonth, and quick time, will gratify both p-country and low-country, induce uni/ of action and sentiment, and do good k-ery way!" y&r- Tho above paragraph from the harlcston News and Courier will be ratifying intelligence to our people, ometbingis really necessary to be done 'Charleston would prevent our conuncral people from looking elsewhere than > our o\v i city. We love Charleston, id prefer to give her our trade, but :her plr.ces are offering strong competion. Quick transit is necessary if harleston retains even the trade she uw ?v;icn 4 ? Chamberlain and lilainc. We give elsewhere an interesting ac>unt of a large meeting at Woodstock, onnecticut, where Chamberlain and lain? gave their views of the situation, hamberlain talks much of honesty and hat he terms the bad faith of the Presi3iit in his course towards Louisiana id South Carolina. He looks for faults ily on one side. Ho never once rerred to the rascality of the Radical lints who composed the Returning oard of Louisiana, but splits hairs with 10 President. When Northern politians learn to attend to their own affairs, e shall have reason to rejoice. If any * the Northern States are in need of a overnor, they can take Chamberlain, "c don't want him.

J"-' [i'rom tlie News and Courier.] d, Woodstock, Ct., July 1. ? Kx-fiovernor pa Chamberlain in his speech here to-day, after tu ' a lout; history ol' thu Louisiana anu South if . Carolina eases, and a general denunciation of gu , the President's policy, attacked his civil ser- m ' vice policy, and proceeded as follows: Look m i next at. the relations of tills administration to of the present financial Issues. President Hayes ed 1 lias heretofore entitled himself to the court- fin s denee of honest men by Ills course on this vi question. Nothing, sir, but the necessity of re ' gaining support for his Southern policy could to j have induced him lo contemplate an alliance th with the silverconsplracy, a conspiracy which hi 1 regards silver with favor only because it has wi lost all virtue as a standard of value, and ss a] a currency, is cheaper than greenbacks, it al is the inherent and unavoidable weakness of Ai his present position, tlie eilect of hiswrctched th j Southern policy, that he must conciliate an li< outraged as party far as possible by yielding ov r now to the demand for the spoils and now to fri f the demand for cheap money. Again, the Re- ry publican party by its recent platform is sIj ? pledged t-<j oppose the grant of subsidies to lit1 # private corporations. Vet no man who lo- gi " day knows anything of the current of the in- ar - llucticcs wiiieh are gathering at Washington e> Is iifnoi'iint of the fact that a vast scheme Isjdr 1 steadily maturing, unopposed, If not favored, tli by this administration, which aims to take pr from our public domain ami from iur public w treasury untold subsidies to build a Southern pr PaeUiie railway, h railway for which there is in no present public need, and from which pri- th vatc capitalists would shrink with contempt. o\ in the game of this gigantic effort at public qi robbery will conic the revival of the defunct w Northern Pad lie, the building of levees on to the Mississippi, and kindred schemes suHi- X cicnt to again corrupt the morals and blast, th the prosperity of the whole country, and all en e .his is the price which must be paid for the th . privilege of overthrowing two lawful State nf '? governments and trampling upon the urinoi- srn pies upon which our government anu insti- in tutious rest, the rulo of tlic majority, sir, ca , there are laws of moral cause and eit'eet as ni '? true and certain as any physical laws. it; No political leader, no political party can pi forfeit honor or desert principles at one point ci and maintain them at another. Integrity is SI indivisabie. You cannot be dishonest on one th " subject and honest on others. The President's sa ? Soutiierri policy, conceived in hisownmind, av a shock ami o/tence to his party, reckless of al 11 Justice and of constitutional duty, if unoppos- cr ed will more and more weaken the moral gl bonds which have hitherto, in spite of all its re , failings, secured to the Kepublicun party the at ' confidence of the majority of the most la Intelligent and patriotic Americans for more it than twenty years. Hilt, fellow-citizens, this ai gathering is not for mo alone. Others whose st titles to your confidence and attention are tli older and better than mino, are here. The ai subject which I have discussed still stretches ul I on before me, but. I must close. We are sum- dt . moned to the duty of exposing and denounc- ej 1 ing a great crime? a crime more wanton and h< f unpardonable than the crime against Kan- Is sas, which aroused the sleeping conscience of G the North, and gave its earliest victories to A c tiie Republican party. That crime was corn- pi mittedbya President at the bidding of the oi R party which elected him. Thscriinohas been ti committed in detiance of the principles ami ai pledges of the Republican party, and in ile- tr r> fiance of the personal declarations and obli- h gations of the President. e( L A Presidential policy, if the term is de- sf - scriptive, is an anoruallyand offense; it sa- <-? . vors of bad faith; it has a native and histori- si 1 cai odor of treachery and intrigue. But fel- s< low-eitlzens, what is the President's South- fa em policy? In point of physical or external ni fact, it consists in withdrawing the military -?orces of the United States from tlie points in c. smith I'nrolfiin and Louisiana where they hi i | had been stationed for the protection and It '(support of tlio lawful governments of those M vj States. In point of immediate, foreseen and ti ' | intendod consequence, it consists In the over- U 3 throw and destruction of those State govern- h< . nients unci the substitution in their stead of o; certain oilier organizations called State gov- 111 - ernments, In point of ncUutl, present results, -s| 3 it consists in the abandonment of Southern jo Itepubl jeans, and specially the colored race, P; 3 to the control and rule not only of the Demo- er cmllc party, but of that class at. the South ?l which regarded slavery as adivinc Institution St 1 which waged four years of destructive war it far Its perpetuation, which steadily opposed j citizenship and sult'ragM for the negro?tu a g< r word, a class whose traditions, principles and til history arc opposed to every step and feature- til 1 of what Republicans call our national pro- tli r gress sine** 1WH. In point of general political tc and moral lnsigni finance, it consists in the m t proclamation to the country and the world IS . tlitit the will of the majority of the voters of a w state lawfully and regularly expressed Is no ol 2 longer the ruling power in our States, and oi t that the constitutional guarantee to every w 1 state In tlite lTnloti of a republican form of J10 a government and of protection against domes- 'u tic violence Is henceforth Inelfectual and fj1 ' worthless. I could frame an excuse for James ?' j Buchanan. lie was the decaying fruit of half a century of Northern subservience to South- 1)1 1 cm dictation?the poor dregs of a worn-out politician, whose life had been spent in cowering submission to the will of those whom * he was now called to confront. Hut what . shall be said of this President, educated by the events of the last seventeen years, the 1 1 . long and perilous struggle to save the nation 111 to freedom and Justice, the representative of a party whose life and Inspiration In every EC > hour of Its existence has been political Justicc and freedom for all American citizens, a Pros- fa I ident who had literally climbed to his high a\ seat over the dead bodies ot hundreds of loyal men in Louisiana who had met death in forms far more trying than any batt le field In A.

This President enters upau 1 his negotiations with those who are in arms against the lawful government of Louisiana, In order that lie might? the more surely be[ try the friends who had trusted him and the cause he was sworn to uphold. Now, fellowcitizens, I exercise the right of an American ' | citizen?no more?when I say that a review of this chapter of our history leaves me in no . doubt that the real purpose of the Louisiana . commission and of (lie whole conduct of the \ [ Louisiana ease by the President was to accomplish the overthrow of Governor Pftck* ard and his authority.

' This Sarsaparilla is a combinal ion of vegetable altcratives-Stillingia,Mandrake,Yellow Dock?with the Iodides of Potassium and Iron, and is the most clficacious medicine vet known for the diseases it is intended to cure. Its ingredients arc so skilfully combined that the full alterative clTect of each is assured, aud while it is so mild as to be harmless even to children, it is still so effectual as. to purse ont from the system those impurities and corruptions which develop into loathsome disease. i The reputation it en joys is derived ? from its cures, and the confidcncc which prominent physicians all over the country repose in it proves their experience of its usefulness.
