It is a significant fact and one well worthy of the attention of tho people that just now on the eve of thc Legislature sonic of tho newspapers of tho State arc urging the necessity of providing liberally fur tho University and thereby placing thc StatO, as they say, in the lino witli our sister States. Tho ?Vetos and Courier tulls us in a Into issue: "We are assured, on offieiul information, that it is tho purposo, ns it will bc tho duty of the ont lloridos of thc University, to move it forward as rapidly ns possiblo to dial higher work which belongs to it, and to it alono." Ju oilier words, as we understand it, "the authorities of thc University" will call on thc Legislature to bleed thc people, whether they will or no, with n heavy appropriation for its support, claiming, of course, that thc agricultural pcrip fund mid $12,600 oro not enough to make the college cllicicnt and put tho Stato on a footing with Virginia und other States. Wo have always talked plainly about this matter, because wo believe it to bc thu duty of a journalist to do so. Wo were opposed to opening die Agricultural College because WO believed il. to bc what it lias proven to be, a delusion and a snare to ontrap thc unwary. Tho appropriation of ?10,000 additional lust year wo predicted would be but the entering wedge for still larger demands. Wo have been opposed to thc reopening of thc University at tho expense of the tax payer, because wc knew it could uot be supported on a direct appropriation of &10, OUI) a year, and because wc do not think tho Stato is able at this timo to spend large sums of money for luxuries, when our people tire already heavily burdened with taxes and have but scanty means to pay diem with. We ure opposed toit, because it is undemocratic to levy taxes for any? thing but thc protection of thc people in their rights of life, liberty and property and because it is unjust to lay tribute on the many for tho benefit of die few. Thc Bovised Statutes, page 811, Section 10-10, provide: "There shall bc admitted into each Col lege of the University" (that |a, tho South Carolina College, ut Columbia, and Clailin College, nt Orungcburg) "one student from eneh county of thc rttate, who shall bc eu titled to tuitiun free of charge* such stu dent shall bo appointed ty tho Governor, upon thc recommendation of thc delegation in tlic (jeuer.il Assembly in which thc ap plicant resides, and after a competitivo ex? umination." The Section further provides that any va con ny made by grnduotion, death, expul sion, or other cause, shall bo lilied in thc same manner. In other words, Abbeville county, even with the present small direct appropriation of 810,000, must bc taxed about four hundred dollors a year to pay the tuition of ono boy fixed by t li o Statuta ot lotty dollars n year. Cur readers will notice that no consideration is shown for thc "poor boy." Under thc terms of the. law die whole matter is left to the delegation and if tho eon ot the richest man in Abbeville county is successful in the competitive examination he may go to Co lumbia willi free tuition, while children in tlie county aro starving on tho crumbs of education furnished by a common Behool taught 1er four or live mouths in the year by a poor teacher, poorly promised and still moro poorly paid. Four hundred dollars a year for the rich man's son who is able to go to Columbia and ?2.G5 for thc "poor boy" who lias to stay nt home I lt ii? par ticularly unjust to compel tho Presbytciians, Methodists and other denominations, who give large sums of money cviry year to their own colleges for "oonscienco sukc," to pay inxcn for thc support of un institution Which they do not want, which mny di vorce education and religion anti which lias a direct (ondsnoy to injure their col leges. Wo nro opposed to it, moreover, becnurc it will tend, ns we believe, to rest oro ibo state of 0(Tairs existing before tho war. It will build up a few families at thc expense of tho masses of tho people. They will claim thc right, as they did then, to supply our Bench willi Judges und nil other oilices with incumbents, no matter who elso might apply, lt will Orente class distinctions and build up a merciless aristocracy. Wo arc opposed to it because n boy oin go to colleges now in the Stile, pay luition ned get through on loss money tl.un ho eau thcro with free tuition, os tho catalogues will show. It is true tho fuculty advertise thot tuition is free, but we eau seo no war? rant in tho law for it. These are a few of tho many potent reasons for our opposition to tho soheino, and for continuing to opposo it with tho lights now beforo us.-Abbeville .Medium. Thc jFatlacy ?I* New Coun ties. SPEECH CF cor.. W. li. WILSON, OP YOUIC COUNTY, IN THU PRIMAHY CANVASS. [Yorkville Enquirer ] I um boro us a candidate, somewhat un expectedly. Only thc Hay before yesterday I received a public call from my fellow citizens to become u eandiduto for tho House of Representatives, which cull I did not feel at libel ty to decline, and if I should bc honored with on election, I can only say that 1 will discharge my duties as ono of your representatives to the best of my ability in all measures that may come before tho General Assembly, lt has been a long time si II CO 1 huvo been tu public lifo, but 1 have some ideas of thc duties of a legislator. In thc discharge of these duties all personal considerations should give way to only what would bo for thc welfare of thc entire puop'o. On all questions beforo tho people, you hove a right to a frank answer from those seeking your suffrages, and as . candidates huve beeu called upon to express their views upon tho proposed constitutional amend meut reducing thc uren of counties, 1 will frankly givo my views on this question. You aro lo voto on this proposition-for thc adoption of thc aiiicndmeut, or for its rejection. Yrou havo thc ripjit to vote cither for or oguinst it. Hut in my judg ment it would bc unwise to vote for its adoption, for several reasons. Apart from thc expense that would bo entailed upon all thc people by thu TOT million of new counties, there oro several other considera? lions entering into thu question. It ii claimed for tile measure that it is designed to strengthen thu Democratic party in thc Slate. With what confidence eau wc loos for that result with thc overwhelming negro majorities in many of thc lowet counties - Orangeburg, (Jolleton, Kershaw and others? Tho statistics show a vusi difference in thc area and population of tin lower counties as compared with thc upper counties of tho Stato. Thc lowei counties have a much larger nrea of ter tory, and their colored population vustlj munumi eis ours. (Jollcton, which is 4f miles from ono limit to tho other, and 81 milos wide, hus a white population of 12,18 and a colored population of 2-1.202-it round numbors a colored population doubb that of thc wdiite. Orangeburg is 70 mile from one limit to thc other and in sonv place ?10 miles wide. It has a whito pop ulation of 12,042 and a colored populatiot of 28,458 - more than double that of tin white. Georgetown hus u white populatioi of 8,460 and a colored population o 10,140. Kershaw numbers 7,802 white and 18,0-10 colored. And so on wit) other counties. Suppos? thc counties wer cut up and divided-thoso enumerate! thrown into twenty new counties, it wouh have no other effect than to in?reos tho Republican strength ill thc ?Senate while thc upper counties, on accout of loci of territory und population, would notudini of being cut up. It is a dnncorous ex. p?riment; and with thc United State Government unter thc control of Stalwor Republicans who menace our Stato oi every h.iud, is this tho time to think 0 odopling snell au amendment lo our Stat constitution, thereby increasing their ad vantage over us and aiding them in thci means of oppression? 1 do not dout that the proposition was submitted undo patriotic motives. It could puss throng thc Legislature only by Democratic volet but should tho Democrnts incorporate it i tho constitution it will stand there, on should tho Republican party ever conic i power they could so usc it us to perpetual negro dominion and Radical inisiulo ovc tho State. It will bo for tho people t South Carolina to say whether or not the want it, but my judgment is that th adoption of thc amendment would bc un fortunato for tho best interests of ou people. A Fatal Pitched Battle at Lan caster in which four Negroes wore Killed and a Num ber of Mon Wounded, [Special Dispatch to tiic Greenville Dall News.J COMJ.MIIIA, September 28. News has reached hero of a terrib'e gpo liticul riot at Lancaster, yesterday (Wedna day) afternoon. It seems that Col. K. li. (. Cash, Independent candidate for Connies hold a meeting and addressed a crowd com posed largely of negroes, in Iiis usu ?lylo. After tho speaking was over difficulty occurred between one of the whit men present and a negro and tho hiller wt shot. Much excitement ensued, hut quit was restored for a timo. Soon afterwards crowd ol negroes marched up nnd one i thom selected and pointed out a whito mai saying: "There's thc d-d scoundrel wi ilk! tho shooting." Tho white man eui ncstly protested his innocence, but tho nc a?rocs refused to listen, and began an attae upon bim. Pistols were immediate! Jrnwn and a regular pitched baltlo too ?luce, lasting a few moments, during whic nany men wor; knocked over on bot lidos. An examination of thc fiTd showi limt four colored men wore killed. Thei ,VIIS thc wildest excitement for a time, bi jy tho oclivo excitions of officers on litizcns quiet wa* permanently restored. Tho Now County Movomont. [From tho Abbcvillo Prosa and Bonnor. J j Io order that our people may begin to ' think about their ability to meet tho in creased expense that would bc incurred by tho adoption of the proposed constitutional amendment, reducing tho area of thc counties, wo offer some Ggurcs below. Tho estimate below is for tho fecB and salaries of tito oQiocrs of Abbcvillo county. Of oourso where tho fees oro paid out ot tho treasury, but where thc fees uro contingent on tho sorviocs rendered in euolt ofliocs as | thc Probato Judgo, tito Master in Equity, i tho Sheriff and the Clerk, in order to moko tho sidney sufficient in (lie smaller, counties thc fees will have to be raised, so that a eitizon having business in ono of theso offices must pay higher than ho would hovo done if tito county is not divided. Tho law, wo believe, requires some of those officers to keep their offices open every day. In Abbeville county tho sa'urics nnd fcoa in Abbcvillo county uro estimated as fol lows: Sheriff and Deputy . . $1.000 Clerk .... 1,000 Auditor .... 1,200 Treasurer .... 800 Muster in Equity . . . 000 Probate Judgo . . . 1,500 School Commissioner ' . . 000 Co.

'Tho increased annual esponso for clerical force or now officers in Columbia could not bc less than ? 10,000. Thc pro? posed constitutional amendment would add fifty new counties in this State.

Tho Mummy of Jacob* Tho mosque ot Hebron, port of which waa formerly n Jewish synagogue, ia built over tho ouvo of Mtiobpclah, where. Abra ham, Isaao and Jacob uro buried, oud is ono of thc most jealously guarded of Moslem shrines. Up to tho time it was visited by tho Prince of Wales and his 6uito, iuolud ing Dean ?Stanley, no Europeans, save tlioso passing for Mohammedans, had been ad mitted. So great was tho excitement over granting ibo privilege to tho Prince and his party that tho streets had to bo lined with soldiers. Tho visitors did not go into thc ouvo, but only into tho mosque above, whore oro tho so called tombs of tho patriarchs, sumptuous structures, but tho reul graves oro in tho cave beneuth. Tho other day tho two sons of thc Prinoo of Wales wero permitted to enter the mosque, and to look through au opening in thc floor into tho cave A Icttet by one of tho party nays: "Wo observed n small opening in thc floor, which is covered with a pieco of silver. Wo removed tho cover and let iu lanterns to discover thc appearance of tho vault bo neath. Wo could by this (clearly seo tho pavement in tho cave, whioh is polished stones, of six or seven 5tirds, each stono in quadrangle. Wc evidently saw hero thc aroh of stones prepared for a passage to go down to tho envo; but this artificial de scending guto is inclosed or blocked up 60 that tho whole struoturo must bc removed ero tho entrance can bo reopened. From this great chamber wc went to Juoob's and Ijcah'a tombs, tho buildings upon whioh aro also made in tho samo manner as thc other patriarchs. It is impossible to rc? sist tho conviction that the masonry, gi guutio ns thc blocks of stono and pillars arc, must bo at least very ancient, perhaps oven of Jewish construction.

[Special Dispatch to Tho Columbia Regis ter.] SUMMKUVII.LK, S. C., September 27 - On tho two hundred mid fifty* first ballot, E.W. M. Mackey, tliejfraudulent Congress mun, was nominated as thc Republican can didate io tho Seventh or lilaok Dintrict. Thc vote stood: Mackey 21, Lee 15, Smalls 8. Maokcy'a pecuniary influence has dono wonders. Many of his dusky adherents consider him good enough negro for them. His reinforcements came from Beaufort and Colleton, tho former furnishing three and tho latter two. Loo also received a now vote from Colleton. It is only u ques tion of limo as to tho bolting of Leo and Smalls, who oro bitterly opposed to Mackey. W. L. W. Lou (iiiffin, a mulatto woman, and her child four months old, were brutally mur dered in Austin Township, Crecnvillo county, on Tuesday of last week. She hod her husband lived on thc farm of Dr. Crojton, though they had been separated for some timo on account of on alleged too o'oso intimacy between lier and Riley An derson, another colored mau. On tho 2Gth ultimo slio had started to n place about eight miles distant, leaving about 8 o'clook. She was not again seen alive, but was found dead with her infant beside her on Wednesday obout *I2 o'clock by nome white children. Her body was not above one milo from Dr. Crayton's farm and when found was "lying on ber back with her head inclined to one sido, with her arms extended nnd besmeared with blood, ono bloody hand still clutching lier apron." Severe wounds, thc effects of heavy blows, wcto visible upon her forehead. Thc body of the child was on tho right of thc m otb ci and its skull was terribly crushed. At thc inquest thc husband clearly proved nu alibi and suspicion attached to Riley Anderson, tho cvidenco being such as to warrant the jury in finding a verdict that Lou Grillt il and her child "oimo to their death by stroke? with n stick in tho hands of Riley Anderson on thc 26th of September, ?882." Sherifl Qilronth arrested Anderson and ho was bulg ed in jail at Crecnvillo. Anderson ia a shorl heavy built man and lins always boroo ar excellent oharootcr, being au industrious f inner. Ho lins considerable property. Ho denies any knowledge of tho murder nnc by reason of his past character many doubl his guilt. According to Congressman William D Kelley, who has just returned from a trij to Colorado and Nevada, farming in thosi States present thc bigest attraction. Bj invitation ho went to tim ranch or farm of 13. ll. Eu ton, in Wold County, whiol ho bogati breaking last year under a now and elevated ditch. In tho spring of 1881 his 0,000 acres boro nothing but gramma grass and cactus. This year 3,000 of thost 6,000 acres, tinder whent, nnd 450 undci pototoes, wil|J yield a net profit of ovci $100,000. On one side of tho road whici ho hits laid out through his farm grew noth ing but oacti and yuccas and gramma-grass whilo for thousands of noros on tho otliei side, whoro tho irrigating ditch ran, mow ing-machines and headers wcro cutting thc enormous crop of wheat. "Not honor, but money is needed," i: tho motto of tho hy bird party of (?roon, backets, Republicans and Independents. IF tho Columbus (Ga.)

COLUMBIA, S. C., September 28.-Last night a murder occurred at Ridgeway, in Fail Held county. A bitter feeling hud ex? istcd for some time between two respectable planters, Eli Briggman and Samuel Sykes. Thc latter wont into tho former's yard armed with a shotgun. Seeing his victim in tho enclosure, ho pulled his trigger and shot him dead. Thc weapon was then aimed at Briggman'fl brother, but tho second barrel failed to explode. Tho mur derer und his victim stood well in tho com munity. Sykes waa arrested tonight. Thc "Rag- Baby" is tho uamo given to thc Crccnbuok nominees. Tho other day in Laurens, a young lady rcoovorcd u judgment for $9,000 for breach of promise of marriage.

Thcro aro sixty-'cight beneficiary cadets-? two from each County All tho revenue and post office ollioiuls in tho lute republican convention voted to endorse tho Greenback State ticket. This proves conclusively that tho greenback movement is being engineered by tho Na? tiona! Republican Porty. Everybody is familiar with tho old story of tho monkey, thc cat and tho chestnuts. Wc arc haviug au attempted praetionl illus? tration of it in this State. Tho oHiocrs are thc chestnuts, thc grccubackcrs and inde pendents tho cats, aud thc radicals arc tho moukey8. Rev. I. D. Durham, President of tho Greenback convention und candidate for Stute Superintendent of Eduotiou, says tho negro hus no more soul than n mulo or horse; and yet ho hopes to bo elected by their votes. Our colored friends certainly oannot vote for him or his ticket. Wonderful to relate, tho New York Democratic State Convention thc 22d was held without u bolt and with perfect har mony. Grover Cleveland, Mayor of Buf falo, was nomiuutcd for Governor. Tho nomination is considered a good ono, and, ns thc broaches between tho Now York City factions have been healed, thc Democrats ara oonlident of carrying the Stato. Under seven years of Radical Rulo irv South Carolina 514,840,000 was collected for Stato and county tuxes. This waa an average of 32,120,000 each year.
