to observe how largo a share in the publie
attention is at present,given to this 80
subject, by the people of this State. An su
important pFace in the Governor's Mes- J11
was giveta to the two branches of 11
education t&a.t are the State's peculiar 1)1
care?the Aiuealion of the poor in the
co in hi ctp. ^hnols, and the education of
the ingenious and aspiring youthj of Ur
South Carolina in the State Uuiversity. ^
'Governor Hampton evinced wise state- or
luaaship in referring so prominently and |[,
emphatically to these the only parts of er
the educational structure which need st,
help from the State. In the interests of P|
self-preservation and general advancement
the Government should stretch out '
a paternal hand, and care for the education
of the poor- In no way could the
public money be more advantageously fa
expended than in placing the commonschool
within reach of every poor man's at
door, and the rudiments of education at ^
least in easy attainment by every poor to
man's child. Not only should poor
children be encouraged?they should be l{[
almost compelled to come into school; for !],'
an educated peasantry is a nation's best
bulwark. The groat body of the intelli- pi
gent better-classes, on the other hand,
need no such parental control. They are ] s<
sufficiently enlightened to "put a proper j1,1
value on the education of their sous and |
daughters, and they require and ask for ^
no appropriation from the publio purse to rt
defray the expenses thereof. The excel- as
lent denominational colleges throughout "
this State, the high schools, the acade- t|
mies, the seminaries built for the educa- H
tion of both sexes, are eloquent and eon- ^
vinciny proofs of what the better classes ''j
have done and will always do for the x
proper education of their children without
governmental help.
Theso institutions are self-supporting- s,
But a University never was and jj
never can be in any country self- ^
supporting, and all countries have wise- p(
ly contributed liberally from the public w
exchequer to establish and maintain their
universities. The prosecution of the
high standard of education which is prop- 4
er to a university is oonfosseuly re niunorative.
The studies there pursued are ci
of a kind that demand tho employmen t
of learned professors thereof at high salaries,
and the number of students can a<
never bo sufficiently great to pay with K
their class-fees alone the necessarily great
expenses. A great proportion of University
students come from the hearths of rc
poor inon; and it is especially io ..ho in- ^
terest of the sons of the poor that the
State University bo properly supported,
some of the most distinguished men of P'
I (?|
South Carolina entered the halls tjf her tj
University cliid in homespun, some ol
so poor that they pulled the bell-rope for i"
their bread,?and there they laid the sure
. foundation of that greatness which could
never have been attained but for the high h<
education which they sought for and ob- a,
tained in the State University. If for no cl
other reason, it is right that a University
be established within reach of the poor
man's son. The rich need it not. niev : ir
can send their sons to Virginia, Harvard, j
or Princeton, or even aoro.ss tho seas to
Oxford or Edinburgh, or the German uni- x
versitios. The establishment of the Slate nn
Uni vanity does not further or subserve u
their interests. When governments and
munificent citizens founded and endowed
the famous universities of the world,
they expressly said those seats of learn- ^
lng were for the benefit of "poor sohol- 'r
ars." Other patent reasons might be ad- ir
dueed?the peculiar advantages of a Uni- "
versity training other than the education- w
al, its lil>er:dlzing tendencies, and, if we a<
, may citc one, the healthy inflnenoe it n
brings to .bear on the students that come
from up-country and low-country and the 11
whole country, which obliterates the fac- w
titions lines of sectional ditl'erence and ?{
prejudice; a consummation devoutly to w
be wished at present. e:
We regret the action recently taken by a(
the presidents of several denominational 111
colleges in this State in opjw.-iltion to the
re-opening of our State University.
They need not fear any evil effects upon &
their schools by such re-opening. The sl
University would not clash with the in- t'1
terests of their excellent institutions. ei
The good work they have done, especial- ,es
ly when the doors of the State University
were virtually closed, is gratefully ac- ?'
Vrw.u/lr.Him.l hv thn nponlfl. Tll(?rfl is
.? r?r?
work enough for them and for the university
too. Tbe fair structure of our
State education, with Its solid foundation j>(
in the common schools, and its Rtrong to
columns in the colleges and high schools j tij
requires as its crowning capital a groat,
free, and flourishing University.
Democracy Defeats the "Independ* 0?
ents." * !
bt
The Charleston, municipal elections j m
took place on Tuesday 11th inst. There j?1'
were two tickets in the field?more cor- j J,"
rectly,.one full ticket and a half,?the full ,,0
ticket being purely Democratic and with ! sq
Mr. W. W. Sale heading it for Mayor, the
half-ticket being & so-culled "Indepeud- e
ent" one, with Mr. D. F. Fleming for ga
Mayor and scarcely any other nameon it, on
The triumph of the Fleming faction depended
entirely on the successful stirring re
up and fomenting of race prejudices and an
jealousies, and a bitter fight was to be ex
pected." We are^glad to know that this ^
was not the case. The election day was r]e
uncomiponly quiet, and when the polls de
closed,',!th?r?etm>erritio candidate# were*
ahead and Mr. Sale had a majority of {J,'
over three thousand. Abbeville offers 4wl
her congratulations to Charleston, and :>c:
thanks hor for having defeated the "In- J.^1
dependents." In our little town all class- tcl
es and colors are now enjoying the econ- gr
omy, security, and peace that attend a ^
xromuvruuc uuimni!ti.niu<Jii ui iiluiiuti^ui ql
aflfcirs, and we rejoice with Charleston in j
her assuranee of now enjoying the same Ci
blessings. As to the opposition ticket, j
let all would-be "Independent" else- M
where take timely warning from it* tie- ^
served fate. "Independence" Is the po- ?c
litical Cave of Adullain to which flee all a i
the disappointed, the sick at heartand
HoreinheJid. Unsuceesttful a^piranUi too JJl
frequently lack the magnanimity to take
a lower place where they had hoped to w;
occupy the highest. ' 1,1
? Too proud to follow, to command too weak,
they either desert to the enemy, t%>
or, if wanting in the pluck and brute and th
d'uuegard of principle requisite to do
that, they resort to the Cave of Adullain, go
hoist tl?e flag of "Independence," with Pi
the hope that all that are in distress, and ,Ul
all that are discontented will come to
them as to a new David and make them y(
Captain. The son of Jesse was a good br
mm, but in this as well a* in *ome other ,ai
things he set a bad example; and bis n\
success has lured to ignominious oeieat t]j
many wbo were vain enough to *iopt fa
twt not MtriHig or worthy enough to earry '
oat his plan. D. F. Fleming, (for aught
we know, "D" stands for Davids) with
his petty following, merited defeat But ^
in his disoomfiture let him not be incon- err
^olable. He has done some good. Ass!^'
signal warning to others be will answer th<
a good purpose. Whenever, in mnnici- ^
pal or political contests in this State, some <?e
disappointed and misguided man shall bei
(Tare to play the role of "Independent," J
tlit* luckless fate of I>. F. Fiemiug will lie mij
wholesome remembrance, and tho voie<
the unsuccessful "David" will be heart
ying
lark but my fall, and that that ruined me."
OPINIONS or THE PRESS.
The U*ury Bill.
The State press has said its say on th<
jury Kill. Almost all the newspaper
,vo expressed their opinions pro am
h. The only argument used by thos
favor of the bill is that it is a popula
easure, and in finance and politica
ouomy we must take instruction fron
e vox populi. Th(?se opposed have rea

tpporters of the bill themselves boin

practical and sensible leader against th

In our humble judgment, the Legislator
is no right to govern Mie price of any mar
itable or saleable article or <jummodity. .
?llnr is, like a bushel of corn or wheat, a
tide of trade, Its price or rate of Interest, I
ivcrned by the condition of the marke

concerned, there is no question. Then wh

The Merchant and Farmer is strong i
? opposition and its logic. From a Ion
ul able article we extract the following
If, therefore, money Is a necessity to th
imer, and he must have ltut any cost, is 1
it belter to leave him free to got It the be.'
ay he can, from his neighbor or sonic frien
10 or 12 per cent, Uian to force hiirf to di:

ut, say some it is better that farmers shoul
it set money ut nil than to pay more than

i a misfortune to place it in their reach eve
7 percent, and to out the cord lan knot?t
otectthem against themselves?let the Lei
lature repeal all laws for the collection <

do not suppose that the puWic withdraw- c
al of Pinch back from the contest made
aiVv difl'erence for no Senator con Id have p
brlieved- that ho was elected. But with
Plnchback. out of tho way it was not "
e worth while for the Republican Senators

' j unquestioned vacancy, which Governor
elXicholls would immediately have filled I
rjby appointing a Democrat?either Mr.

u j longing U> the same party. Every State
I in the Union has now its'full representa- J,

w closes every part.of the Southern contro- ?
versv so fur as it can be uiado a question i
of practical politics. There is 110 possibility
of the resuscitation of carpet-bap '
rule or negro rule or any other rule than 1
c that of the white citizen's in the Southern t

We learn that General Butler is
y auxions that fatterson siioujg receive s
immunity for past sins for seating him, \
Butler, in the Senate, while on the other i

anxious for General Gary to till Patter- (

should he made vacant by "Honest 1
