The Columbia Register, of Friday
last, thus summarily disposes of a
lately much-mooted matter :
"Having obtained authoritative in
formation OD the subject, the Register
is enabled to an non nee that all the
ramon regarding Governor Tbomp
son and the South Carolina Citadel
Academy are without foundation.
The Governor has not been tendered
the Presidency of the institution ; he
would not accept the place if it were
offered him ; and he therefore has no
notion .of resigning. This informa
tion comes from Gen. Arthur Mani
ganlt, who is just from Charleston,
where he met Governor Thompson
and talked with him on .the subject.'

we earnestly hope that the meeting
will be such a one as its noble aims
and ends deserve
That our cause was not won, if it
be the.fault of any man, was no fault
of the Southern soldier ; nor can the
loss diminish that glory which abell

who wore the gray. And aa the long

The Augusta correspondent of the
Charleston New and Courier, in dis
cussing the Gubernatorial question in
Georgia, paya the following well do
eervep tribute to one ot Georgia's
most distinguished citizens: Mr.
Walsh, while for some years a promi
nent and influential figure in Georgia
politics, haa worked for others and
not for himself. His nature ia so
fener?os and he is so hearty and
rm a friend that he has labored with
more ardor and earnestness for th jae
whose canee he has espoused than he
would hate done for himself. There
is no "doubt that Colquitt owed bia
first domination and election as Gov
ernor to Mr. Walsh. In fact, Mr.
Walsh would probably ? have been
nominated at that time if he had
yielded to the demands and eolicita
tiona of Oolquitt's opponents. No
man in the State haa been truer
and non? deserves more from the peo -
ple; If he should be nominated for
Governor the State would certainly
be doing honor to itself in honoring
go public spirited a citizen."

We have received information from

ind that they meet with serious dib

Summer Meeting.
From ike Napa and Courier.
Ur. Tillman of Edgefield, (brother
Congressman Tillman,) coutended
at the farmers of his county were
orer than they were fifteen years
o, though not behind any other
unty in any reapect. On asking
usent to offer certain resolutions,
we was given with applause. Mr.
liman then made a long and ram
ing speech containing many hard
uths, mingled with a great deal of
y humor. He held the attention
the large audience for over an
?ur. His resolutions were to the
[lowing purport: First, To establish
i experimental farm. Second, to
ake the South Carolina college a
al agricultural institution. Third,
have more farmers on the board of
ustees of the South Carolina col
ge. Fourth, to enlarge the State
lard of agriculture by adding one
i mer from each congressional dis
ict. Fifth, to establish farmers' in
i tutea.
Col. E. P. Bucker moved to con
der the resolutions at half past 4
kia afternoon. Carrie', and adjourn
1 at 2 o'clock for*dinner.
At 4 P. M. the joi?t meeting be
in to discuss Mr. Tillman's resolu
ons ; and the discussion was opened

The first resolution was adopted

Mr. Moise, of Sumter, said the res
olution meant thc simple truth, name
ly : " That the South Carolina college
should be made in fact, as it now pre
tends to be, an agricultural college,
?ind as Buoh he took pleasure in sec
onding the resolution."
Col. Dargan moved to lay the reso
lution on the table, but withdrew his
notion.
Col. Lipscomb urged the meeting
,o consider the subjeot on its merits,
[f thia meeting thinks the trustees
ire doing all the farmers want them
o do then you should vote against

hen support the resolution.

Col. Dargan defended the board of

Mr. Moise called the attenti. u ol'

ie large amount appropriated by the
nited States government. That sum

be democratic government restored

arthy president and ->ur master sre
it so thin-skinned that they would

cause the farmers desire to confine

The story does not hang together

jnspiracy except that the Southern

sertfd that "it would have divided
the North on new and terrible lines,4
and that " the list of men privy t/j
the abduction of Lincoln would, il
printed to morrow, convulse this naff
tion to its centre." In one part o|
tho dispatch, speaking of the alleged
conspiracy, it is said : " Most dread}
ful of all, it became known amonr
large circles in Washington ;" in an?
3ther part it is said : " The archived

MAKES CHILD BIRTH ?ASY.
TlR time has come at last when
Hie terri ble agony incident to this
very critical period in a woman's
} life can be avoided. A distln
1 gulahed physician, who paaaed
% the greatest portion of his lite
(forty-four years) In thia branch
of practice, left to child-bearing
woman this priceless legacy anti
. life-saving appliance, "THE
MOTHERS' FRIEND,'' and to
day there are thoosanda of the
best women in onr land who, hav
ing used this wonderful remedy
before confinement, rise np and
c?ll his name blessed.
We receive letters from every
.section or the country thanking
' us for placing thin preparation in
the reach of suffering woman.
One lady from North Carolina
writeB us that she would like to
thank the proprietors on her
knees for bringing it to her no
tice, as in a previous confinement
she bad two doctors, and they
wore compelled to use chloro
form, instruments, etc., and she
suffered almost death; but this
limo she used " MOTHERS'
FRIEND," and her labor was
short, quick, and almost like
magic. Now, why should a wo
man su der when she can avoid
it? We can prove all we claim
by lioivy witnesses, and anyone
interested can call, or have their
husbands do so, at our office, and
soe tho original letters, which we
cannot publish.
This remedy is one about which we
cannot publish certificates, but it is a
most woudorful liniment to be used after
tho lirHt two or throe months.
Send for our treatise on tho Health and
Happiness of Woman, mailed free, which
gives all particulars.
