The Trustees of the State Uni versity met in Columbia the night of the 18th, and elected the follow ing as Professors for that institu tion: For the Chair of Ancient Lan guages, Rev. E. L. Patt,, of Due West, S. C.; Modern Languages, E. S. Joynes, of the University of Tennessee; Agriculture, Jno. M. McBride, of the University of Ten uessee ; History, Political Economy and Constitution Law, B. Means Davis, of Winnaboro', S. C.; Men tal and.Moral Philosophy, Bev. W. J. Alexander, of Darlington. Rev. Mr. Patton is a Professor in Erakine College. Mr. Joynes waE one of the teachers at the TeacherE Institute last year, and is said to be quite a pleasant gentleman. About Mr. McBride we know no thing. Mr. Davis is the teacher of Mt. Zion Academy at Winnsboro and the editor of the Winnsboro Hewos and Herald. We know no thing of Rev. Mr. Alexander. None of the Professors are mer of mark ; none of them have an ex tended reputation as teachers what their'local reputation may b< we know not. We can say, how ever, without any unkindness tc any of them, that the Faculty ii not composed of men of such brain culture and reputation as woul warrant any very high expectationi as to the success of the institution or as would reconcile the taxpayer of the State to a very lavish appro priation of the public money for it support. The Trustees, no doubt, did th4 best they could in making thei selections ; for while the candidates were quite numerous there was's great scarcity of men of ability. The southern Baptist Conven tion Was held last week in Greenville It was composed of delegates fron all the Southern States. Rev. Dr Mell, Chancellor of the Universit: of Georgia, was chosen President The report of Rev. Dr. McIntosh of Virginia, Secretary of Horn Missions, shows that the Board o Domestic Missions has receivei during the year $28,370.08. In ad dition the State Boards have ex pended over $70,000.-making total of over $100,000 for domestic missions. This State contributei $9,200. The report of the Treasurer o: Foreign Missions shows receipti last year of $49,041.02. At the General Conference of the Methodist Church, the Committe4 on Temperance submitted the fol lowing rules to be placed in th4 Book of Discipline: "Let preachers and members ob serve the general rules which for bid drunkenness or the drinking o: spirits unless in case of necessity In cases of drunkenness let disci phine be administered as in cases of immorality. Let our preachers and members abstain from the manufac. tore or sale of intoxicating liquorskt be used as abeverage ; and if any shall engage in such manufacture or sale, in such case let discipline be aministered as in case of impru dent or improper conduct." At a session of the Southern Baptist Convention a resolution gravely disapproving the action of the American Bible Society refusing aid in the publishing and circula tion of Dr. Judson's Burmese ver sion of the Bible was adopted. Dr. Jas. P. Boyce, in speaking upon the resolution, denounced the action of the Bible Society as an insult to Baptists all over the country, and that the Society had offended schol arship, Christianity and catholicity. At a meeting of the Stockholders of the Piedmont Factory the 10th Mr. H. P. Hammett was re elected President, and a digdend of 10 per cent. was declared, to be paid in semi-annual installments. A canister filled with blasting powder was found on the railing of the Lord Mayor of London's resi dence on the night- of the 13th. Supposed to be an attempt on his Register. Again we say register.

Z Information gathered on Satur- at ] day shows that at least twelve were engaged in the Dublin tragedy. Itis believed that in a cab which stood ,iii near the scene of the murder and sno loitering among the trees ware the armed men ready to effect a rescue I in case the actual assassins were Sat surprised. The police have now pro issued descriptions of four of the men on the car. Two of them are ' I described as being about 30 years Mel of age, with sandy hair, one about Del 35, of stout build and dark com last plexion, and the other about 20, am with small, black moustache. The chn driver is described as being be tween 35 and 40, with red, bloated cra face. con A latter telegram says that a car mo driver from Kingsdown, named Coi Bolger, has been arrested at Mo- thi ville and sent Dublin. There is reason to believe that the assassins had intended to murder eight per- Th son.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 11, 1882. at The Tariff Commission bill is at I t ast out of Congress, having furnished I t ;be largest amount of chin-music of .d sny measure before that body for tb years. Some of the speeches not de- br livered, but whose authors obtained eh leave to print." are still coming out f in the Record. I do not entertain any di great degree of admiration for those sy Democrats who supported the bill and b, forced the party in Congress to throw away the advantage it might have de- ci rived from a square stand on the ques- ai tion. The pressure has already be- m gun on the Presiden5 in behalf of ta persons anxious to serve on the cow- , mission ; and the applicants do not tr consider that they know no.hiog about pi the subject of the tariff, but are con pletely absorbed with the idea of $10 n per diem and expenses. The Presi- tE dent will, it is hoped, put some ex- ' perts on the commission, but it will I require all his nerve and deterwioa- c tion to withstand the appeals of the i politicians. It is generally accepted in here as conclusive that the commis- w sion will manage to perpetuate its P existence for several years to come, I and if it makes any report at all at 0, the beginning of the next session of at Congress, it will be merely one of a f preliminary character. Indeed, the longer the protectionists can keep the s commission in existence the better a, they will be pleased. It can be set Ii down as a dead certainty that nothing is will be done with the tariff during the life of this Congress, and if the Dem , ocrats of the next Congress surrender o to the straight-out protectionists as S they are now, any hopes the tariff re- 0 formers may have of a revision of the w present tariff prior to the Presidential y election of 1884 will prove ground- e less. S Much has been said and written " lately about President Arthur's man- 81 ners and habits and mode of life, but I ti am not inclined to believe half that is b reported concerning the "high old times" of himself and a few choice , spirits over their wine at the White is House. Yet is is unquestionably true ' that the President if a high liver. He p likes good wine, good cooking, and i tho society of his particular friends. a In addition to this he is an aristocrat r in his feelings, tastes, and all his in. P stincts Some time ago there was a great flourishing of trumpets over the i asserted fact 'gat at last we had an o old-time gentleman in the White s House-a man of the old school, who t would entertain royally and restore j the Executive Mansion to the courtly d manners to which for some years it I had been a stranger. But somehow i n this tune is no longer sung among a our society devotees. Beyond his , aristocratic ways and his free use of v wine, there does not seem to be the n courtliness about the President and his ~ ebode which was anticipated. There is of late even a disposition to criticise i his lack of courtesy. The other r evening at his card reception his i. ? vited guests were kept cooling their heels in the open air more than twen- e ty minutes after the hour named on e the cards of invitation for the recep- t tion to bcgin. Several hundred peo- ~ r ple had been invited to call on him i between the hours of eight and ten i o'clock. The President set the time i himself. When eight o'clock came ~ it found two or three hundred early g birds in front of the Executive Man- a sion awaiting his pleasure. But they u had to wait for nearly half an hour ~i later, and the ladieo, shivering in ~ " evening wraps at the White House ~ door, heaped a good many feminine, objurations on the President's head, u as under the circumstances they cer. tainly had a perfect right to do. The society people used to sneer at i Hayes for not h-eving wine #t his card a receptions, but at the levee the other t night neither wine nor eatables were served and most of the invited guests ~ went supperless to bed unless they t< took a cold bite at home. A select ri few were invited to dine, but the rest e were not offered so much as a sand- C wich. To give the Fraud his due, I ii must say that Hayes, with all his it stinginess, never failed to spread the e table on these occasions. But Mr. & Arthur cares only for the company and countenance of a dozen or so cboiae spirits, and refuses to sacrifice ci his personal babits or comaforts to the 0 Presidential office. For his chums * the White House doors are always a: ajar ; for the public never. For his fe chums the White Rouse cellar is a; stored with the' rarest vintage and . eiasby the hnrd. That re minds me cf something. I was told 15 the other day that the White House a steward was asked by the President to ni 'V send up a box or two of cigars of a certain brand. "But they are all d, gone, Mr. President," said Steward fa Crump. "Why, I got several hun. T dred boxes not long ago." "I can't ~ help it, sir; they are all gone. You b< etsee how, I know, but I do. You tk know your friends smaoke a good deal b< and drink a goo'i deal. They can't ~ drink more than they can carry away, bat when they are asked to smoke, a ir, they usually put a handful in c their pockets to every one they put in their mouths, and when they smoke again they go to the boxes for e another handful, not to their pockets aih or a eigar" PHONO. a A true assistant to nature in restor ing the'system to perfect health, thus w mabling it to resist disease, is Brown's fe [ron Bitters. ch lo, Catarrh is a most loathsome and se nsidious disease, and has been pro.

Circuit Convention. 4 This is an important subject, and one at ,hould engage the -aruest attention of i true Christians. Recognizing its impor nce I regret that one more competent an I should not have been chnseu for this casion, but having been appointed, and siring to perform every duty required to e best of my ability, I shall epdeavor icfiy to present the subject, cherishing a e bope that some good may result there- t omu. Any enterprise that has for its object the t ssemination of good should commsnd the mnpatly and sur port of those for whose :nefit it is prosecuted. Now the publication of our church litera re, and not of ours only but that of every hristian Oburcb, commands the attention id consumes the time of our best men, en who have devoted themselves, their me, their strength, their energies, their lents, and oftentimes their means, to the omulgation of those grand Christian s uths and principles which tend to make a ople happy ; to promote civilization, to t man above the level of the sordid cares, b xations and trials incident to the pilgrim- p e through this wilderness. Therefore d ese good mten and true deserve, as I said v fore, the hearty support of the church. should be glad to see our church paper, e Southern Christian Advocate, the offi al organ of the South Carolina Confer- n ice, in the home of every Methodist with- b the bounds of the Conference, and when d e remember that the publishers of this. tper pay what I might term a royalty to " e Annual Conference on every copy for a hich we subscribe, then it seems to me ir duty is doubled, aye trebled, and we ould give it our support, because, in the at place, we are aiding in the replenish ent of our Conference treasury. In the c cond place, we are aiding a meritorious -m ; and last, but by no means least, we b -e placing in our childrent' hands pure o terature, the reading of which will print e ipressions for good upon their hearts and a inds that will last them all through the g urney of life ; and not only so, but we ill there find the best and purest thoughts our spiritual leaders. And I venture to iy, that there has not been a single issue e F this paper, since its foundation to the 1 resent time, but has contained articles v orth more than the price of the whole e sar's subscription, even if such things )uld be measured by a price or had a oney value. And it may be, aye it is ore than probable, that many a Christian tther and mother, when the great day f 3all come, and all things be made known, tat this very paper has been the means of t ringing a precious soul to Christ. Then ill they thank God that they had the priv ege of taking their church paper, and tereby aiding in the spread of Christian t fluence and principles in the world. And t hat I say of ours, I say of all other church apers; and it does my heart good to see t reat rolls of the Visitor being distributed mong Lutheran families, and of Courier's nong Baptiste, and Southern Presbyte ans among that denomination, and A. R. reabyterians among that denomination. ud I say to all who bear my voice, take our church paper. Lutherans, take the t isitor; Baptists, take the Courier; Meth dists, take the Advocate, and so on and < on. Help to give them a large circula- t on, and thereby make t,e Editor's heart lad, and his little ones rej.>ce in the know- t :dge that his labors are .ppreciated, and o your own souls and the souls of your >ved ones good and glorify God by speed tg his cause in the earth. And I will here dd a word for the Neighbor-a live Meth dist paper-whose Editor has grown old . the service of the Master, and with his enerable locks whitened by the frosts of sny winters, has placed his paper upon I se exalted Christian principle, Pzacz, uss ERSAL PA'a&s. Who would have the whole orId to join in the pean, "Glory to God< the highest, on earth peace, good wili to aen." Oh that he may succeed beyond his mndest anticipations. I would also add a 'ord for the Nashville Christian Advocate. .is is a grand periodical, full of good ings, edited by noble men. I wish I nuld take them all. And this brings, me' > our Sunday School literature, and I am lad to know that the Publishing House is rceiving the heatty support of South Caro na Methodism. It is a grand thing to aid doing goo.d-to use our means and our afluence to build uj. and promote virtue nid holiness among the children of men. ra our Sund ty School we use their publica ons-the lnternational Lesson series nd I confess that when we first began their se, when we organized our Sunday School] a July, 1881), I bad serious misgivings as their adaptability and usefulness ; but, ith acquaintance they have improved, and -day I look upon them as the very best 'e can use, and I thank God that we have l sed them during the whole time we have een in operation. Now I do not advocate ae sole use of these to the exclusion of itechisms and other of our Sunday School terature, for I think these last are good cad very necessary ; but I would make aem the prirse feature in all our Sundayc chkools, gud certainly their low price, and I ae pare that is taken by the Editor in pre aring them, comnmeid these publications the favorable consideration of all, AndC ght here let me say something In refer-1 2ce to other publications of the Book Con. rin. Any book within the range of onr :turch literature may be had there for as atle money as can be had at any Publish g House in the land. Examine theirt atalogues and you will find that these facts 1 e true. Anything that may be wanted ithin the whole range of denominational terature may be found there. Brothers and sisters, let us do what we i an to aid the Publishing House by getting e 2r Sunday School supplies and church lit ature direct therefrom. Well, Mr. President, I think I have said 11 p an. I wish I could say more in re- I rence tpour jnt.ediate phpr.ch literature, g id when I use the tesrmu ipnmediate, J mean sat which pertains specially to the ohurch J. South Carolina. But pardon me if I say word in reference to this subject general- ~ .Ini thi' day of cheap sensational litera- I re-should I denominate it literature- fi ty, rather, stuff, a libel on literature- ij ben 25 stories can be bought for five 30. stage stamps, it becomes the bounden aty of the church to counteract t.hi-s bane- # I influence by all the means in her power. I 2erefore it is necessary that we, as thet ofessed followers of Jesus Christ, do our most to educate our people to a taste for althy and pure literature. Now I think ere are some works of fiction that nay 0 read witb perhaps no evil results, such tl Dickens, Sir Walter Scott, &c., and v lakspeare's works are profitable in more ays then one; but it is not of this class n speak. Yet even they are not to be 0 impared with religious literature-that p caich brings out the good in men and wo enn, that leads them to higher aspirations ~ d nobler aims, that turns their eyes from r&b to heaven, that causes them to regret a e error and to accept the good. These e they which should grace our libraries, g d be at the service of our children, our E ighbors and our friends. I suppose I ought to stop here ; but I >uld like to add one thought more, in re ence to the songs of the church, or sa- C td poetry, if that may be denominated bl urch literature, and even it it is not I re to think and talk about them and them and compare them with seen poetry. Longfellow is grand, and Hiawatha has given him fame al ~st immortal. And we might add kindred o arks in reference to mauy other noble n who have by sweet poxetry elevated 0 man th.ought and led men to higher and G tnder stims. Thesn are among raasure's ti blemen. But never was a grander truth 0t ered than that which emanated from an nored member of that fraternity. Milton n d, "There are no songs comparable to 1ei Ssngs of Zin." and I revere him more' fl ir this utterance, than for his Paradif 0st. In th.-se s.ngs we are hrought. aA ere. i1to immredi.ate co..,nunion witl 01 ord Je.-us Christ; in them the attribut f Dr,y tre abow1t forth; in them the loi the aviour is told ; in th--m i' the gli lous m-,j-..y -aer fort, ; in hrm i. the fee it end .: :he sinner .r'cl imeid I wou iat I evuld in trumpet tones !oeak ti )eritl oLthese songs.

"Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me, I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind, but now I see." ith what feelingsof joy does this old hy= arry us back to the time we were stru ling in the bonds of sin, had the light eaven to shine into and permeate of earts, causing us to break forth into sonl f love and praise and gratitude to the t:c f our Salvation.

Gree rlle seems quite a live town, especia y now with the large influx of del ;ates and visitors to the Southei 3sptist Convention from all the Sout: rn States, from Maryland to Texa ['he very large and handsome churt difice of the Baptiste was packed wil c audience on Wednesday and Thur lay ights which was said to be ti argest ever assembled on any occasit ieretofore in Greenville. On the fir f those nights the Convention seram ras preached by the Rev. T. T. Eatol f Louisville, Ky., formerly of Peter urg, Va. It was a unique effort azi efreshing from its originality. C he following night an audience eque y large greeted the twto speakers, Re rir. Landrum, of New Orleans, at Lev. Lansing Burrows, of Kentock rho spoke for the benefit of the Coli umn Place Church, New Orlean rhieb has been the object of solicitud a the denomination for some yeal ast, owing to its difficulties in.satruj ling with a very large debt and mcor age aipounting'to tee thousand do irs. Such was the effect of the til ddresses that five thousand dollas ras raised that night and the othe ye thousand dollars the church pron tes to raise for itself. The Rei .ansing Burrows is a tall, handsoni igantic man, with a fervid eloquent rhich is very taking. He is one< te two very efficient Secretaries< be Convention. Just as I write the street in frot f' the Mansion House is enlivened b de parade of Capt. Patrick's ver elI drilled company of cadets in thei eat gray uniform, also by the strait f dhe Greenville brass band, by th ssiog of handsomce equipages, finel roomed horses, gay equestrians a eli as egoestriennes, the street car ada variety of other vehicles. The temperature is pleasant after: mod rain yesterday. The Mansioc [teuse, which is the hotel par excel nec of Green,ville, is large.ly crowded ith the dele'gates snd vin'itors to th< ouve'ntr".

It is one of the largest ir e South, perhaps as large as anj her, and is quite an institution. I ambers six hundred, including teach s and officers. The pupils numbel , hndred and flfW.flve or ere e abouts, the teachers thirty-five and the officers ten. The exercises and the conduct of the school are to.l d interesting and systematic. Yester e day morning the opening exercise wa D- a chant, the Lord's prayer, then s r- verse or two of the lesson fur the day I then a hymn sung. and this alternationi was continued throughout. In th< lecture room below where the Sunda School exercises are usually conducte< te there was an address on the lesson foi of the day by the Rev. Mr. Warren, t< * whicb most of the visiting strangeri repaired after the opening of the Sun day School. This lecture room is verj d capacious, but its dimensions .are no ,e so great as 1 first supposed when b, thought it would seat perhaps as manj 1e as two of our smaller churches not in * eluding the galleries. 'The Sundaj School mass weetinyi in the afternoot e0 was attended by an unusual throng, at indeed all the meetings were. The exercises consisted of alternate songt e and addresses by distinguished minis 1- ters. I should have mentioned it connection with the Sunday School lessons that there is a class of girle who recite their lessons in the Greek r being taught especially by a professor. The large choir was led or directed bj )f a musical professor, who regulated the L time with his baton as in an orchestra This was during the religious service of the church. Dr. Broadus' sermoc in the morning was a very fine anc admirable one and the audience una n snal. pf Well, my P. 8. is like a woman's i .r said to be, the most important part o g the letter, and though last not least. e- Yours, &S., S.

To the Employees of Walker, Evans & Cog t well, in Honor of the Completin of the n- Fiftieth Busnme Year of the Firm. id of L One of the most notable picnies e a the present season took place Saturda 19 at Remley's Point-notable in that i e, marked the completion of the fiftiet m business year of one of the best know ae and most suesessful firms of our cit and State. It is not often, even i conservative Charleston, that a firt g can be found which in unbroken suc uU cession has continued business for s i, long a period and in the same place. e Fifty years ago Mr. Joseph Walke d; commenced, at 109 East Bay, th te stationery and binding business, t D which a printing office was subsi n quently added. In 1853, to engag ri- in other enterprises, he sold out t Messrs. Jo:- C. Walker and B I Evans, who subsequently associate with them Mr. Harvey Cogswell. 0 n' the death of Mr. John C. Walkei "in 1860, the business was continue until the close of the war by Messri h~ Evans & Cogswell. It had, year b Syear, grown to very large proportion ud until it became necessary to purchas Sthe large building, No. 3 Broad stree ~w and connect it with 109 East Bas street. in At the close of the war Mr. Josen! Walker, together with Mr. C. Irvin Walker, recommenced the businei afresh, everything having been d< stroyed at the fall of the (Confederac In 1858 Messrs. Benj. F. Evans an e- Harvey Cogawell returned to the eit and the firm formed under the presen name. Since they have had the gres I misfortune of losing by the dent i- the valuable services of Messr: n- Joseph Walker and Benj. F. Evan: al The surviving partners now carry o e- the business under the old name, om en bracing, as it does, all the element h- which have contributed to its success s. Commencing December, 1865, on bh small scale, the firm, by prudenei .h energy, industry and judgment,'an s- the help of an able corps of traine ie and dcvoted assistants, have built u in the business far beyond what it eve et was before. A splendid* plant of ini in proved machinery enables them t a, carry on under one management th a. various trades of ruling, job and bool d printing, and binding stereotyping ani n engraving, besides carrying a larg I- and varied stock of paper, stationery r. school books, &c. d Their publication of Reynold' f, Readers and Copy Books has prove< s- an equal success. For three years ai a, least 50,000 of these books have bee le annually placed in the schools of thi es State-books written and made in th t State. t- T he Southern Christian Advocate 1- the official organ of South Carolin: o &Methodism. has proved a success un ae der the management of the firm. ~r The Southern Educational Afonth i- ly also goes out of its presses of use r. fulneseo the teachers of the South. a, 'The general business of the firti e covers as much territory as that oi >f any house in the State, having itn >f customers in nearly every State fron New York to Texas. 't It is with pleasure that we record y this instance of the continued succes! y of what is now one of the "institu. r tions" of our city, and cordially wish s for the firo a continuance of that able e maaagement and persistent applica y tion which will ensure them many a years of their well-earned prosperity. s The pianic was a great success. A most attractive spot was selected, a and the steamer Clarendon on her 8 2and 9 o'clock trips carried over a mer - ry party of over five bundred-the I ernployees and. their friends-and a e right royal time they all had. The a programme, as laid out by the com mittee, was carried out to the enjoy. ment of every one. Everybody enjoyed the day. The weather had apparently been made to y order, the amusements were varied a and suited all tastes, the committee t was indefatigable in ministering to Sthe pleasures and comforts of all, and Sthere was not a mishap of any kind to p mar the day. It was with regre$fgj -hearts that the large party obeyed tlio r summons to embark for home, and - with the closing light of the 6th of May ended a day which will long be remembered by -all who were fortu. nate enough to be among the employ. ees of Walker, Evaus & Gogswell, or in the good graces of said emply4es suffiPiently to have beceived-seavi ta. tion to so enjoyable a picnie The friends of the irin would also have been invitcd, bait nodirecorp of. the Southern .States ha -yet -been I published, and an'invitatioo list could not; therefore, be . prooare.-. or them we tender the firm their seai: centennial congratulations.
