The Normal and I idu*trial Colieg? with which S-)Uih Carolina has honored my name has alreadv fa'dlle-'1 the rxpectaliens and hope?: of its f iends, under the devoted care ei President Johnson. May it continue to be, lor ceniories to come an ornament ar.d support '0 the State which has so wisely and liberally founded it. Believe me, gentlemen, respectfully and faithfully veur obliged te'low citizen. Robert C. Winthrop. I will say here, by way of parenthesis, that it wa3 through'his fostering care, as trustee of Peabody FuBd, thai i>io TVaimnor Siohrtnt fnrTf aehers. start ted in Columbia in 1886, began the work which laid the foundations of the institution which we are now erecting. I know I voice the sentiment of every man, woman and child in this audience and in South Carolina, that it is altogether fit and rigtit that we have honored Calhoun's friend and eulogist by giving his name to Cleaison's twin sister. And 1 know you will all unite with me in the prayer that this grand, good old man may be spared at least to see the fruition of our hopes in assembling wi hin these wails of the 000 South Carolina girls for whom we are preparing. Neither of these men can receive any honor from the association of their names with the two colleges Let us hope that the youths of our State from association will emulate their illustrious example. Thi3 school is to be known as the Wmtbrop "Normal" and "Industrial" College. Ttnse two words "Normal and Industrial" are the two lode stars which must guide our people out ot the wilderness of poverty, ignorance and stagoatioj, wmcn snrrounos us. wiuuu meir meaniDg lies our only hope the oDe says educate; the other means work. I would not be understood as claim lug or intend ing that the women ot our Si ate do not now work, or that they are all ignorant. In fact some years ?4go in diseussmg the causts of our depressed financial condition, I made tne assertion?ana I stick to It 3 et?that only * wo d-isses of our population did their due share of work. Xo observant or fair minded person will deny that our wives and daughters have met the changed conditions wrought by the emaucipa'ion of the slaves with much greater success and fortitude than the men, and tba* they do a much larger portion of work than we do. On'he other hand, it is equally parent tiiut the bulk of the labor among the colored people is per forrmd by the men. But toretum to the scope and pur pose of the two lim-s of teaching wb'ch we exp-ct to pursue here We desire to say that we fully realize and undestand the great need of better teacher.?teachers trained specifically for that vocation. There are hundreds and thousands of fairly well educated wo men in our State, many of whom are oi>q tftllna'ir\cr tha nftl.U vrfvi>paM'/in rtt U1 \J IVliV v-ov. UV<. AV >?u I 'VM iVii v? teaching Bat the one p?>se?sioa ot knowiedge dees not carry with it the power of importing i?, of exciting emulation, of making stady interesting of training children how to think ano exercise their reasonin g powers. I have ofteD bought that teachers are born, not made.; and we occasionally mee* witn those who have a genius tor imparting kuowiedg*. Bat the improved sj stems which ht?ve been adopted in the Wintbrop School, and facility with which all the graduates of that school obtain positions at more remunerative wages than others of equal education, who have not had the advantages, is proof that normal training an ah soloute necessity and invaluable. Work which has hitherto beeu done in this time, it is our purpose to enlarge aDd improve on that work, aod it will be our ambition to have such processors and inaugurate sucn a curriculum as will not only furnish facilities for persons already educated to get this normal training, but to take the young girl fresh from home and carry Ler through all the classes up to the* highest protiueccy in :h- normal department, coofr-rriog d-greee lor the vary ing degrees of prohciency. There will never be any restrictions as to the num ber of normal students, but we will | take ail who apply for this special training. . But along with the normal, co operated and of equal importance, will be the industrial feature of the school. Somebody long ago said "knowledge is power/' In these latter days we have also come to learu that knowledge is money independence. And knowledge rnnnlfd with skill ha^kt-d nv inrinsr.rv will insure any woman, however fragile, absolute exemption from want and poverty Every father, who thinks aright, would have bis daughter, if thrown on her own resources, able to earn her own support. The effects of slavery upon our habits and customs are still plainly visible however. We are disinclined as a people to have our women leave home to seek their fortunes or enter into Industrial life. The consequence is that, with the system of education which has hitherto prevailed, prepiriDg women solely to adorn the drawing room and society, our women have been altogether helpless and oursy3tem of education has been a fatal blunder. How many thousands of our women, tenderly nurtured, carefully trained at the expensive boarding schools, have found themselves by the death of father, brother or husband,thrown on their own resources, left to battle with the cold, hard world by the loss of tbeir protectors? Every day we come across some of these, and, while an increasing number have found positions of la-e years as clerks in stores, the vast army have bad no other avenues open to them except work as seamstresses aDd in cotton factories. In these latter, owing to the fact that the manufacturing industries of our State have only developed in the coarser fabrics, their labor has not bt-en very remunerative and it is only sought as the dernier resort. Anvone woo has visittd th^ Northern cities and factories is stiuck with the painful contrast in the dress, demeanor, intelligence and evident prosperity of the skilled female labor compared wi'h that which we see here in the South. We can and mu3t change th s. In the industrial department of this college it is our intention to teaori everything and have the students prac tice every industrial art that V7ili lead to indrpencence. Music veil] be taught, but oily as an industrial art?in other i words, with so much proficiency only m singing and playing as will insure a livelihood. As an ornament it will not j be taught at all, and those lacking in special talent win uo? receive tuition in it Bur don't understand me as meaning that we tutend only to tit 'hose wbo enter tbe ir dustria! dep-irt men's for making their own support. We will b -.ve a laundry, where the gir)s do their own washing and ironing, i he ch^mi-trv and oractice? f cookery will be taught and every tning connect *d wrh housekeeping.

I have a daughter off at boa:ding school who has V-n gone nearly a >ear. She carried i If a big Saratoga trunk full and h?-r mother hu3 seni hei so many dresses since she left that she will have to buy ano?her truLk to get back home with. And we are determined that no girl shell lr.*ve the Winthrop College with or bring to it a Saratoga trunk. There will be no conflict or rivalry between the normal and industrial depart men!s. In fact the normal students will be required to take industrial training in order that we may be able to have manual training taught by the Winthrop graduates In our tree commou schools, when this feature shall be grafted on to our school system, as we hope to see done ere long. Now I'm going to do some very plain talking. While our aspirations and ambitions are all In the direction of fitting women for self-support, both as the teacher and a3 followers of industrial avocations, 1 want it understood that I, at least, am irrevocably opposed to anything being done or taught here that will tend in the slightest degree to ? ?L A ? u ' CC +l?s\ ?\A<t AK /Irtd 4*f\y ruo lUB UlUOiU uii uic pcauu. \jruu ivibid that this school shall ever send forth a woman who has been unsexed. We would have the clinging-, helpless creature able to stand erect and walk; we would have the bird if necessary given wings to fly from home sick avenues of independence; but never, never, never have any of the daughters cf South Carolina, who shall be trained within these walls, by reason of the strength and self-respect which we hope to impart here.become other than belpful wives and happy, self-respectful mothers. Woman's * special province in life is that of a home-maker. Her greatest glory, her proudest distinction, the object of her creatioD, in fact, is that of motherhood. " Woman, God's last,best gift to man," is associated with all that is brightest and noblest and best in men's lives. As daughter, sister, sweetheart, wife, mother, sh? is an inspiration and a solace. As a wife, she doubles man's joys and halves his sorrows, simply by sharing them; but the holiest, purest most self sacrificing love in the world is that of a mother. It is to fit women to be mothers?high, noble, properly trained mothers, the natural and prop er guardians of chilaren?that this school is founded. We will start it in that, n .rh t.h** hiaa and direc 'ion to which it should be held, aud thus best discharge the h'gts duty imposed upon us by those who have pJaeed usin control. Contrast, the picture I have drawn of a woman trained in all the domestic arts and economics and some oreadwinning occupation; self-reliant and strong, yet withal modest, self-respect iug and ladylike, with what we sometimes see, oftener read a boat? a stroag minded, bold, brazen, pert, selreasserting female.prating of "woman's rights" man's tyranny and selfishness,the degradation of nursing children, and s<> orj aduauscam? toe first a picture to flu3rrate Words wor'h's uobleliaes; "She was a phantom of deiieht, When first sne g'eamed upon my sight, A lovely appa ition sent To be & moment's ornament; ller eyes as stars of twilight fair. Liae twiights, too, her dusky hair, But all things eise about her drawn from Mav-time and the oheerfuldawn. " \ creature not to bright cr good For human nature's datly food; For transient, sorrows, simple wiles, Praise, bian e love, kisses tear and smiles, The reason firm, the temperate will, Endurance, foresight stieng'h and skiil; A perfect woman, nobly planned, lo warn, to comfort, and command." Of the other I have co fit description, fci poets have never sung her praises, but uer position in the estimation of all right thinking men and women can be pretty well set forth in the last line of a piece of doggerel brought home from school a few days ago by my little six year-old daugnter, who took great delight iu repeating it: "1 know a little girl With a lite e ourl Hanging right down her forehead, When she is good, She is very, very good, But when she is bad she is horrid." These composite, unnaturai, unsexed womeD, striving to be like meD, and to do like men, have lost all of the finer graces and charms which have always made men the slaves of the sex, and have gained nothing in exchange ex cept their own morbid self esteem. Such women are simply "horrid," and it will be the ambi'ion and care of all triends of this College tbat it shall, never send forth and harbor one ofthese "horrid" creatures. Every true man acknowledges the existence and pays due respect to "woman's rights." Wordsworth gives her the right to command, and ail men since Adam set us the example in obedience, even to do evil, have obeyed when the behest | was given by a true woman in a womanly way. The young men who will be trained at Clemson in the manner I have indicated will naturally look higher and seek, among the students who will flock to Rock Rill, for their future helpmeets. They are even here now reconnoitering the ground, and after Winthrop gets fully under way I think that if rm<rht tn hp th? fivprl of the management of the two colleges to have frequent migrations to and fro, for it will iospire and help the boys to come here and the girJ3 will be equally benefitted by an occasional excursion to Clem3on. The alliance 13 a natural one and the two schools run into each other, and are just as much bone of one boDe, flesh of one flesh, as though already married. Jiut I must hasten to a conclusion and leave to the distinguished orator of the day a fuller and more eloquent discussion of these themes. Before closing I want to give empha sis to one thought. I have already pointed out the unanimity with which men of ail classes, conditions and ideas have joined hands in aiding to erect this school. It is the one thing and the oiiiy thing upon which the men of South Carolina are at present united. Only alluding, ia passing, to the divisions and bitterness which exist among our people, allow me to express the hope that this point of union may grow and spread; that the inspiration of thi3 day may prov.i a harbinger, and help to hasten the restoration of that ha-m ny anu friendly feeiing which once existed, and which must necessarily retorn o-fore we can have any great degree ot prosperity. Guriateiests are one, cur ancestry the same? let us yield to the rule of justice and reason and the government of the majority, fnr we be brethren. Why not dwell together as brethren? MB i ? iiinu a i iiiiiiwii aafl?i ? ?atfcfl Asia the days of old the ancient ^abines were brought.to peace wirh the Romans by the women who had been seized and borne off captive to b come the wves ot th- la'ter, so may the wornrn o^ourh Carolina become/-.ur peacemakers L-r them tak- hold ot th- *ork 10 carries'; go to dl the cam p*ign meetings in full force to make their fathers, husbands and brothers behave themselves, and at the end of the summer we will have "something barter than pjohib'ion" or t.n? sub- J frea-mry; peace is all our hearts, peace in ail our nomes.

Recently there has been a good deal or talk about one company or another bing organized to build a road between Charleston and Augusta, i'he first rumor of this effect or-ginated in Augusta. A di3ptth from that city, wbicu was published seme time ag ? in The News and Courier, stated that the Louisville *nd Nash vide sys'-mj had some, idea of purchasing the Port Royal and A jgusta R >dd, and of building aline Horn Fainax to this city. For a while'nis scheme was pretty tz?ea sivelv discussed, and created conconsiderable comment in more than one section of the country. Interest in such a project is now very vividly revived by certain statements which were made yes-erday The facts given came from reliable sources and are worth consideration. A gentleman who did not want his name given, but who said his informa tioii was thoroughly reliable, said to a R-ported: uWere you aware that at this very moment the Atlantic Coast Line system is engaged in making preliminary surveys tor a line cf road between thi3 city and Augusta? It is a fact, ana you wili be perfectly safe in making the statement. As I understand the matter the Cost Line people have been thinking about this project for some time past. Their idea is to build a road from Ashley Junction in as straight a line as is practicable to Augusta, and they now have out a party of engineers making a survey for such a route. The Coast Line never has much to say about i's own business, but when it makes up its mind to do a thiDg it generally loses very little time in doing it. It is a powerful system,with practically unlimited means at its command, aud it can very easily build this new road if it has a mmd to." Another gentleman who knew the facts which are stated above sail: -My idea about It is that the Cost Line is very ^~ ?nfA A noinflfn rPnof ctU&lUUS bU K~'j 1UW augu^ul. J. uau system has been restive ever since it was shut out of participation in a very rich Georgia tarfiic by the loss of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Road. The management has never ceased to cast around for some means of recapturing the territory thu3 lost. L have been informed that the surveys foe the Charleston and Augusta road are actually bemg made at the present time, and as I take it there is something more than mere talk in the schem-. The Coast Line is always on the ai-rt. It is always reacbiDg out in one direction or anotner The Wilson Short Cut was no sooner finished than tne Denmark extension was begun, aad now ibatlae Denmark Ro-id is b-iag completed it will not be iong before you will see 'he CoastLme laying another track.

Washington, May 14 ?The day in the H^use was devoted to the consider* tion of bust- ess relating to the District j of Columbia of local interest only. i\. aisruruanue was uiwiu iu um House by the sudden interruption ol the even tenor of the proceedings hy a j mirly negro in the centre gallery aris ing in his place and sbouf?Dg: "Mr. Speaker of the House of Kepresenta-' ?ives." Instantly the House was in confusion and all eyes were turned upon the new j orator in the gallery. Tbe Speaker, who j was the first to regain his composure,! directed the doorkeeper to remove the offender. The man was of powerful pbysque, and the doorkeeper was unable to outs him lor some time, the negro endeavoring to deliver his alieg^-a divinely inspired message to the effect that the Lord had commanded him to come to the speaker of the House and order : him to pass the Coxey bills. He was | finally ejected. The crank's name is Matthew A. Cherry. He is a blacksmith, residing in this city, lie insists that he is not iDsane, but his mmd is manifestly ua balane <1. When questioned bv; the Capitol police, he s -id tnat unless the "Coxey good road3" bill was passed, there would be a general destruction of government property in Washington. CoDgre3S would be given until the 24 h instant to pass the bill. If it did not become a law by that tirm?, the public buildings would be destroyed by bombs. lie was arrested by theCaoitol police and taken to the guard room in the basement of the capitol. He was per fectly tractable and tffered no violence. He was retained In the guard room about thirty minutes, when he was taken to the sixth precinct statioa. Before entering the gallery. Cherry endeavored to see Speaker Crisp. He called at the corridor which runs in the rear of the House chamber and was stepped by the doorkeeper. Speaker Crisp's room is situated at the East end of this corridor, where three doorkeepers are stationed. A colored messenger also guards the door ct the Speaker's room. "When the crank demauded to see the Speaker, the doorkeeper asked his business. The crank replied that he desired an audience with Speaker Crisp, but refused to state for what reason. Upon the doorkeeper, again stern ly refusing to.comply with his request, the crank faced about and went up in the gallery. "The town is full of cranks," said Col Snow, the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House, in speaking of Cherry's arrest. "You can't walk Pennsylvania avenue without meeting them at every turn. There is an individuality about cranks and a student of human nature will recognize one at a glance.. We have taken every precaution to guard the members of the House from the violent actions of these people, for a crank is violent when you least expect it. Hut no precaution can prevent au evil disposed person from coming into the gallery with a destructive weapon in his pocket. During the excitement about the first of the month, we kept an uilicer in citizen's clothes in the gallery, and every suspicious person was carefully watched It is our rule not to permit persons carrying valises or packages of any description to enter the gall-.i-rT WT O mun 1Q TC*CWATt\&f\ Jl lt.h i r i j . in uuit u i v^?i w /v* .. ivw suspicion, tbeollicers k^ep cl--.se to him to prevent any overt act. i/htre probably never were so many cranks m Washington us at present and the Whit^ House ana the Capitol aie their storm centres. D)I anticipate trouble with them ? I do not, because no precaution is Dfti lected ro protect every uody about the Capitol. Tu>~ promptness with which Cherry was ejected from the IL-use nailery shows the t-xo llent s\ stem m vogue a; the Capllol in reference to cranks.

The difl-rence be- p [ >\v - ti the G >vera:>r and the Alliance u | ate, more apparent than real; in aim, s in .hope, in purpose, they are one, and n i.hey only oiffiT as to how thev shall j ' ... . r 1 is* i i-w-v r.otna t V. i r rr j ?jn/1 I VUl^liS'i lijc oniUv cnii go auu v.?? g i>; t'tis their variiuctf is but slight c G v-rn ;r Tilluinn lei's a plain truth a he says that Alli-incemen are a liirgfly' to blame for the fact tout Alii A ance iceas are not completely m ' he p *set-ndant throughout the South. The a i ctiLi-r, the Alliance in this State is p in much healthier condition than ia a y other State is due to Tillman more ihaii any other man, and this fact is re;lizjd by the Aluancemen of other li -tates as well as of this State. While 0 s ?m- Albaucemen rn^y be inclined to 0 ake txcMptioo.3 to tome parts of his let'er, they Kill acknowledge its wisdom and its boldness "A bird in the G hand is worth a doz -u in the bush," and ? a man is more apt to get a bird in the e ba..u if he concentrates his efforts upon R the capture of one bird than if he tries P to ca*ch a doz-n at once. This is home 3 ly philosophy,but it is t he philosophy of ? Governor T.llmau's letter aQd will 13 bear testii g. While the masses have R been trying to s-cure a dozen reforms rhev have secured none, and have r never lost ground. Governor Tillman's advice is that fffirt be concentrated upon the task of securing the most important and the most needed reforms d now; then when they have been a brought about, it will be time to fight ^ tor other and less needed reforms. 0 This is practical, hard, common seDse. t! If tried its worth will be proven be- R yond the shadow of a doubt. Governor R rilJman has raised a standard under 0 which Reformers throughout the Union may array themselves and can a s-cuie victory. The standard bears 1S this inscription: "Free silver, more v greenbacks and gold?all legal tender & and all receivable for any and. all dues, * pubhc and private." 11 That is a platform broad enough for c a party to stand upon. Success under 0 that standard will hot; be secured with- 1 out a struggle, but success can be s6- P cured under it. The above sentence 1 expresses the most crying need of the u c mntry today. When that need is e done away with, the national reformers can ih'C ds what next to fight for. e don't :uit the democracy. 0 The Columbia State, Conservative, I says: f The Governor "read'.iy and willingly promises" to vote on the lines he c has inoicared "without regard to any c caucus." He justifies this by saying s that tbe Northeastern Democrats have 1 set us an example on that line which c ill b^ a sufficient excuse for all time." c j " The Gold Bug Democrats," he adds, | "refused to caucus on the repeal of the ^ j Sherman law last summer." Yes, and v J they were, bitterly denounced by the Governor's org a c 3 for doing so, and ' called by them "R publicaus" atrd ? " razors." Now the G >vrrnor proposes ' tofil'ow their example and do what * h?- hear;ily disapproved or their dolog \ Wet-?keihe liberiy of reminding him J thai just before this d-ciaration be wrote of a similar imitation, "Item- 1 not be defended, because two wrongs 1 never made one right." We find no- ^ where in the letter any reference to Democratic principles or the rational *D-mocr-aic platform. The objections he has to Governmental 1 aostotbe : p-opie anci government ownership ot r-iilroads and telegraphs are apparently ? I conceived without reference to the i principles or policies of Democracy. r One important question in tne Alliance ~ cat.ecnism tne G oveinor passes over in t silence, lie d os rot say whether he ; will or will not bind himself to vote against any and all persons who refuse , to pledge support to the Alliance de mantis. The p-rsPtent Mr. Mitchell might Una it advantageous to make a , supplementary inquiry on this point, luciaentally the Governor says that ? he aid no' m 1892 -.?pp03e the adoption I of the Oeabi pld' form oy the May con vention?though "unalteraoly opposed" to at least oue of its feature^?in order . to keep "hot-headed Ailiancemen from splitting off into a third party." That I is to say, he subordinated principle to! policy, and consented to the adoption * of the populist platform in order to keep Populists in the control of the Democratic party machinery. Ocalites . -ind Populists in other States made a "fatal blunder" in being honest and ^ going out of a party whose principles ^ they opposed; they should have reni nned in the party and betrayed it. t' "Soufh Carolina sets her sisters a wise t example in 1892," and "it is incumbent t o:i her to repeat-it in 1894." "It is time Q to be formulating the platform and marshalling the people for 1896. That, is to say, this year the hypocrisy of 1S93 ^ must be repeated, and the people am:? * ed so as to*go in 189(3 into* the Gover- g doil's proposed new .silver party when he gives the word. Tnis is the re?uT j, of our analysis. We are not able to j say wee her the letter will suit the . Alliance, for it is not a complete sur- v render. But it certainly will not suit * the Dem .craey. * AN ABJECT SURRENDER. ^ The News and Courier, Conservative, d aavs: t In his letter to the chairman cf the c executive committee of the Farmers' h Alliance, Governor Tillman explains p his position upon the "demands" of the t Alliance. It will be observed that he e does not "stand fairly and squarely" a upon the"demands." Some of them he y will advocate, others he does not favor, r but all of them, he makes it very clear, h he will swallow if such an act of deglu* a ritioo be lound necessaiy to the cap- ji ture of the entire Alliance vote of the v state iu Governor Tillman's race for c the Senate. "If they choose to retire c me to private life," says the Governor, ti "I will cheerfully abide their will;" but a lie does uoi, leave any room to uoubt p that be will leave no stone unturned to tl make his position thoroughly agreeable ii to the Alliance voters of the state ii There is one of the "demands" to which a he seems unalterably opposed, namely, g, that the Government shail lend money fi to the farmers at a low rate of interest y bet we lear that he would abandon f( this entirely proper position upon com o pulsion or persuasion. He is not in a p pjspion at this time to refuse any un- a reasonable demand that may be made upon him, and we think that another le'ter lrom the Hon. Thomas P. Mitchell would bring him to the ground. He 1 fold Mr. Mitchell in his letter of April s 5*3, ' [ am a candidate for United States ii equator and if elected will vote s< on all quesrions as tnv con- n science and judgmeutdictate." fie n told Mr. Mitchell in his let- b Ter of May 1~> that "if elected Senator" I o - - - - 4 ^ /? . ?

Now t | listen i.o the 0 ivtmor, the same bold i to.ui who told Mr. Mitchell on April 28 8 t.iai he would "vote on all questions as h my conscience and judgmeuc dictate;" ii listen to what he tells Mr MitdheJl on 1; j May 15; "I also can advocate and litrht C lor all the other 'demands' except that f T t / doubt the wisdom or practicability of j he government owning and running j ,11 railroads, telegraph and telephone ints" I will vote on all questions as ny conscience and judgment dictate; nit I can advocate and vote for all the j ercands of the Alliance although in | ny conscience and judgmentMiey may i e; unwise and impracticable. Govert Tollman's letters are remarkable or the information they contain of bis omplete and abject surrender to the Alliance and his coatempl of the Naional Democracy. They do not estabish bis conrage, although they show iow lightly he holds hts allegiance to he Democra.ic party. HURRAH FOR TILLMAN. The Char'e.vou 5>uu, Nf-uiral, says: Hurrah for Governor Tillman!

Thepreimole of the platform says: We, the People's party of the State or leorgia, believe in the principles of overnment promulgated and expouudd by Thomas Jefferson, and we an ounce our resolute adherence to the rinciples laid down by the great outhern statesmen, who, at the beinniDg of our political historv, comitted the schemes of the Eastern loney power, as outlined by Alexaner Hamilton, and who predicted the uin which would fall upon this couary when concentrated wealth should ictate Its legislation. We oppose, as e did, the perpetuation of the public ebt and the policy of issuing non-tax ble interest bearing bonds, whereby a irge portion of the concentrated wealth f the land reaps a harvest from the axing of the unprivileged. We ppose, as he did, the national banks as emg of deadly hostility to tne spirit f our republican institutions. "We believe, as he did, in the free nd unlimited coinage of silver and the jsue of treasury notes to increase the plume of currency when the necessiie3 of business demand more money, fike him, we believe in a progressive acome tax, to discourage the extensive oncentration of wealth and to compel ur selfish millionaires to contrbute to he support of the government which rotects them. Like him, we believe hat the life of this republic depends pon the purity of elections and obedince to the will of the majority. We hereby renew our unqualified ndorsement of the national platform if the People's party; and we favor iu he State of Georgia, the following rerms. The platform then declares in favor f the abolition of the present Siate onvict system; for furnishing primary cbool bmks by tne State; for the Ausrwlian ballot law; and agaiDSt the aceptaace of free passes by . public oiiiials.

The S*n Jhh?? Scale. The News and Courier, of Aprt] 25 ays: We published last week a statenent to the effect that the "San Tosescale," some times called the "Per; ucions scale," the most serious enemy bat the California fruit growers have tad to contend with, appeared last year o Florida, Virginia and Maryland, and earned fruit growers in chis part of he country to he on the lookout for it ,nd to report its discovery at once, as rery great damage to the fruit-growing uterest may result if it is allowed to pread. A description of the pest was irinted at tne same time and was as ollO'A's: "The insect itself is a small, flat round cale, a little higher in color than the >ark of the tree, and will he found ,bun dantly upou the youDger limbs ma twigs. It is at this season of the 'ear about one-eighth of an iDch or le33 n diameter, and there is in the middle if each a small, elevated, shiny, black sh, rounded point. Sometimes the eenre of the scale appears yellowish. The food underneath the scale is apt to be liscolored and somewhat purplish. Vhen the insect is abundant the bark s completely hidden by a close layer of kese scales, which are then hardly aisinguishable to the naked eye and give he appearance of a slightdiscoloration >r a slight roughening of the bark. Xo ither scale upon apple, near, peach, :berry or plum possesses these characeristics, and the iQsect ought therefore o be readily distinguished when preen t." We regret to have to report that we lave just received from Mr. Collin, of Florence, 6. C., a plum twig that is fairy encrusted in places with creatures vhich correspond so closely to the oregomg as to leave little or no room or a douht that they are the dreaded 'isitnr? Thfiv arp as stated, snarcelv jstinguishable at a little distance from be bark of the twig, and being well overed by the growing leaves a close nspection Is rtquired to detect their iresence. Some are darker in color ban the natural bark, and some ligbtr, and the bark itself presents a smoked ppearance in their immediate vicinity rhich is evidently the result of their avages. The creatures are found singj and in groups of a dozen or more; re collected for the most part at the unction of the tender lateral twigs with the maifl stem, and all cling so losely to the bark as to appear to be nere glossy protuberances of its maferial .The United States department of griculture. as was stated last week, egards the invasion of toe orchards cf he country by this insect as presentig a condition of affairs so serious that t can hardly be exaggertted, "and will t once take measures to destroy tbe infect in ail localities wrhere it may be ouDd."

An interesting report has just been submitted to the United .S^at^s ^enat^ by Messrs. Teller, ^Jatt and Roach,of the committee on the live civilized tribes, as the result, of fheir r-ccnt tour i of in vesrigation through that territory j They unfold more conditions oflife ! there than which tno general public have any kno>*l <]ge. They found a population of 50,000 Indians in the rerricory, and from 250000 to 3^X^,00^3 whit" people. Although the whites 'argely outnumber their Indian brethren, they er<j>?y none of- the rights cr citizenship and are to all intents and purposes alieus. On this account the corami' tee find a wry had s'ate of affairs. fa toe agricultural parts ot the territory r here are ten whites to on? Indian, and in mauy of tin? larger j towns ?he se'tiers are all whife. This isespeeialv notable i:i McAllister, a town of "),()00 population. Here, owing to the absenceet any rights oi citizenship in the whites, they have no authority to lay out the stree's, or to police the town, etc. The only court of liual jurisdiction in the territory is the federal court at Muskogee, aad as the whiles have no rights in the Indian courts, they are co upelled to travel in many cases 100 oath's in the most t-ivirfi trials. The condition of the whites the committee says, can ociy he thoroughly remedied by the formation of a state or t erritorial form of government but could be p tnially remeditd by the appoiosment of two additional federal judges with authority to appoint com missioners to try minor cases. The committee devotes much attention to the school question, the whites not being permitted to send their children to the schools in the territory. The committee says the country cannot afford to permit these children to grow up in ignorance, regardless of the attitude of the parents, who nnv have goue inio the territory with the full kaowledze of the fact that ihey had no rights. In discussing the subject of the ownership of the lauds, the committee says that in ali their treaties with the Indians it has been contemplated t hat the whites should be excluded; but the white nave, nevertheless gone there in grea inumbers, presumably in response to the nvitation of the ludians, certainly with their con3ear, and sow they cannot expect the government to put them out. The Indians at the same time do not want them to leave. The law presumes that all this land is held in trust for all the Indians, but toe fact appears that the greater part of it has a farrr 1 n/ll I* vi 11 ?J la ui'.cu I'j a ic>n uuiii'iubw No recommendation is made bec.ius9 tbe Daw-, s committee i3 in the field and tbe present committee desires to give the-lndian3 an opportunity to make an agreement with the commission. If they do not do so then this committee says congress will be compelled to take the matter in hand and deal with it without the consent of the Indians. A BJacke ed R-c>rci.

Jacksonville, Fia., May 14.?A special to the Times-Union from Ocula, Fia., says: Neit Young, a negro, went j to the house of Mrs. Holmes, a widow j lady living near South Like Weir, this morning abou; 3 o'clock, and entered tbe room of her two daughters, aged 13 and 15. In drawing the cover off the girls the negro awoke them. They resisted, and he snapped a pistol a'i them three times, out it did not.explode. This so frightened the girls that the negro succeeded in ravishing the older one Mrs Holmes was aroused about time the negro had acomplished his purpose ana rushed into the room occupied by her daughters. The negro intimidated the rnotner with his pistol. When told bj the elder daughter that the negro had ravished her, the mother begged the brute to kill her and the outraged child. After threatening.to return and kill them if the alarm was given, the negro left. As soon as day dawned the fearful story was to'd and a posse be gan pursuing the negro, lie was tracK fed to an old church kud captured and brought back to Ocala and lodged in jill. It n ruaiorrd that an attempt will be made to lynch the negro tonight. If the inheritance tax just enacted in England had beea in force when Mr Jay Gould died his estate would have paid $5,000,000 to the Government.

Many correspondents spoke mi ir superlatively as "very goon" jd^al"and iike expressions. lu ibis nearly all therepor-s were corrobora' ;ve, tro u :hu mountains to 1 he coast. From the counties of ll'ehlaid, Orangeburg, Sumter, Clarendon and Williamsburg, come the least favorable reports, tor in those counties the showvrs were least copious and not as general, but even in those counties there was some rain. Toe most marked improvement was shown in the southeastern porcion of the State where the rainfall was quite heavy an 1 general, being sufficient to relieve the drought, and revive vegtation,except small grain crops which are too near maturity to be much benefitted. The temperature was slightly above the normal the enlire week, with somewhat less than the average amount of sunshine, Showers were numerous and well distributed over the entire State. The rainfall was -xc-asive at many places, but the ground being very dry soon absorbed it and permitted farm work to go on. Weed3 have not yet proved troublesome. Cotton is coming to a good stand from late April planting and May replanting just coming up promises well also. CboppiDg out and working la progress everywhere. Much sea inland cotton replanted and looks well. Corn ol healthy color out very uneven stand owing to much replanting on account of worms, the litter being still troublesome in many places. There i3 little improvement to note in wheat and oats. Sweet potatoes being planted delayed in localities waiting for more rain. Sprouts plentiful. Irish potatoes not uniform m condition. Colorado beetle and drought having caused considerable carnage. Melons doing well, and beginning to ''run to vine." Condition of rice ranges l'rom "fair" to "very good." Tobacco counties Eeeding more rain. No fruits except some figs j (second crop,) some varieties of grapes and blackberries. Truck farms and j gardens much improved, and heavy shipments continue from the low counties. Pasturage and grasses in general doing well. Generally speaking the season is later than usual, but the farmers bave been enabled to keep well up with their work owing to favorable weather. .Everything consider ed, the outlook for agricultural interests is most encouraging.
