This was the p die he recommended at one of our (fig meet ings at which lie had been invite 1 t speak, and he had maintained the e >rroel ness of the plan ever since, tie spok in the most complit icntary terms of tli manner in which Col. Cotlimn, out com ty Chairman, had conducted the late can paign with su v'i brilliant results. W had every reason to thank him l'or hi good judgment and Ids ^eal in prosecul iug the good work. He explained clearly his opinions * the usury law, and the necessity for il enactment. He believed 110 farmer con! pay more than seven per cent, per at mini for the use of money. The preset high rate of interest had done more t impoverish the countiv, and to injure il material prosperity than anything else. llo was opposed to the rattdcati m < the Amendment to the Coustitutio which levied forever an annual tax < two mills upon all the property of tl State for edecationai purposes. This ta would raise SiiO.(KM) annually, from proj orty alone, besides the poll tax. Nim tenths of this two would be paid h the white people, and th re -fourths of 11 same would be spent in educating littl negroes. This was a di.scriminatio agaitist the white man, and he shonl oppose anvihiug tiiat favored others nvn than i. did his own race.

Again thanking the audience forth: mark of respect he withdrew amid lou applause. ? ? ?? Hard Times With Printers.?A Pat tial Remedy. We see many of oureo.mtry exchangi B complaining of the hard times, and vet justly too, we presume, but it seen strange to its that these very papers wi prim from three to four, live or t;i editmns of dead advertisements f< which they get no nay. Some of the p per* that come to itiU olliee waste full one-fourth of their paper in this wa, anci al the same time injure the appca suicc of their papers. Let thorn redm their papers one column to the page, at sel their matter solid. This wilt be great saving in paper bills, and taal their papers look better. We reduc< the size of ours, and bought smaller typ \\*e saved two dollar* :i week iu papi bills and can now wilh the small tyj give much more reading matter than v gave in the large paper, printed on lar: type. There art not hail'dozen counti jcpers received ai this otliee thai won not be behedtted l>y the change we hai indicated. Wa otier the suggestion f< wliat it is worth. h will do no harm i think abooi Hit: matter. We believe u mistaki to buy pape; on which to pri luatter in lea led long prim m*. Formerl we used large type, mil we will do so t I more. We prefer to print a small pap in small type. It is more acceptable the reading public. Uur paper i-? now a entirely in- inim*?n ana nonpareil, ai it is more acceptable t > the genei reader than when we usel uivvi and long primer, with an occasional c< niiin ol' small pica. We have sent >> long primer back to the foundry :imi o brevier is laid away with the hope t!i \v? might find a purchaser. cj wiiom \ would give a bargain. The Itcccui Commencement.

This is as should be, and will no doubt redound the good of the colleges anu to tiio h; moiiy and good feeling of all.* 'J he ge tlemeti who have gone to the trouble expense of obtaining elaboratereports 1 their papers will 110 doubl feel amply 1 paid by the polite evidence of hoart-i appreciation, as exhibited by the J'resl turian. In observing the little amenities of li the rough angles are smoothed and are saved the inlliction of many a worn while by the observance of the prom; ings of a generous heart wc succeed b ter in a business point of view than otherwise would do. As our readi well remember, although we did 1 devote a great deal of space to the rect commencement, we have, in years 1 long gone by, made full and elaborate : ports of these enjoyable occasions. A are glad to see that others are now doi what we have done so often, and it is the same time gratifying to us to obsei the acknowledgment, on the part of t 1'rc.sbyterian, of his recognition of t pleasing reports of those who so recon enjoyed the privileges of the inner te pit* Senator Todd Speaks Out.
