Tho University of Nashville, at its re cent commencement, conferred tho hon orary dogl'00 of Doctor of Laws upon tho Hon. Wm. Ashmcad Courtenay, of South Carolina. The terms in which thia distinction was announced by the chancellor added to its value. Ile said that tho institution honored itself in re cognizing tho long service of Mr. Courte nay as "philanthropist, patriot and pa tron of letters." Tho professor of the I'niveisity who Comm un lent CR the action of the board of trustees lo Mr. Courtenay suggests the unanimity and enthusiasm which at tended and still attends the conferring of this honor when he writes: ' Thc col lege, individually and collectively, scuds greetings, along with wishes that many years, abounding in life's best prosperity, shall be your portion." Capt. Courtenay is to be congratulated Oil Ilia election among tho "immortals." Many who admire Ililli have been in straits whether to call him "Captain" or "Mayor" in familiar salutation. Now their trouble will have an easy relict. Thoy may greet him now as Doctor Courtenay.-Charleston News ami Cou l ier, J une 11. Doctor Courtenay is called "President" throughout thc Piedmont, for he is widely known as thu enterprising Presi dent of Tho Courtenay .Manufacturing Company, of Newry, OcoilCO county. South Carolina, one of thc most success ful colton mills in the State. By thc way, where is there nnol her mill president who is a "LL. I),?" College presidents frequently have such honors to sit lightly upon their shoulders because they move in a charmed circle, where thc bestowal proceeds upon the principle of "tickle mc and I tickle you"-but mill presi dents never. Their thoughts necessarily run so much upon figuring out the ditter OUtial in cotton quotations, that few thorn are who heed the gentle voices (if the muses, who foster a high standard of literal y excellence as w eil ns ul linancc and statecraft. This is another evidence of the many-sided attainments ol' OcO* nco's pioneer mill president. "Captain" on the tented held, "Mayor" ol' Carolina's metropolis, "President." ot'a great manu facturing plant, and crowning all as "Doctor" in thc world ol' letters. Where is his home ? At Innisfallen, fanned by tho gentle mountain breezes of thu nee, and Ocoiico is honored thereby.

Tho Suygcbiion Touches? a Responsivo Chord. Editor? Cour.iKit: I BOO Itt your last ?BSUO a proposition to build a homo for thu Coufodorato soldiers In Oconco County, ?is well at Itt all tho counties. I think this is tho most feasible and hu mano plan that bas yot baou put for ward to aid our noble and well deserv ing old soldiers in their last days, lt would he far bettor than a homo by tho State, as it would enable tho soldiors of each county to spend their last days among their relatives, friends and ac quaintances. It would bo a comfort to au old soldier, oven in ono of theso county homos to know that his last days were being spent whore ho was born and raised; among thoso whom ho holds j nearest and dearest. And in caso of a contagious or malignant disoaso break ing out lu tho State it would bo oasior to control. This plan to take caro of thoso old citizen soldiors should moot with tho ap proval of all. lt would OOSt no ono any thing hardly, and at tho same timo it would insure our deserving old soldiers a homo of their own during their ro main ing years. Now, as one who had no hand In tho war, which cost those old soldiors tho best days of their lives, and in many cases the loss of hoalth and bodily limbs, I am constrained to say if wo ever intomi to do anything for thom, let us do il while they live. So I, out of roy li tintt.'d lo of this world's goods, ant willing to , vo live or ten dollars to as sist in building a home in Oconco after thc plan outlined. Now, to make all tho sacrifices and in cur all the suffering incident to war as did thc Confederate soldier, ought to give him a place in t ho momory and affec tions of his contd ry mon, so that in his last days he would be provided with at least a home and the common necessaries of lifo. Hut, alas! for tho obi soldier. Wo meet him every day bowed down with care and want and seo his brow over shadowed with the sil very frost? of many winters, plodding his way wearily along, hoping that the into will come when there will he something better in store for hint. So, to tho people of Oconco, lol us get together and do as has boen suggested: lluy a good farm somewhere in tho county and dot it with comforta ble cottages and give it to all tho old soldiers and their widows, who have no land, as a home free of rent tho balance of their lives, and winni the last one has passed away let Hie property revert to the donors or their heirs. Hy this plan no one will lose anything and those old fellows who went through tho liery or deal from IS01 to ISOTi will have tho con solation of knowing that their devotion to country has been appreciated, and that their hopes anil expectations for better things have not ticen in vain. Again, you gentlemen who are asking the old soldiers to help elect you to ellice, will you not holy in carrying to success this enterprise, so that history may never record the sa?! and disgrace ful fact that ( harnee county let her sol diers die in want, or in thc poor house. May the soldier's name Koro vor bo a part of our country's fame, And over bis grave lie planted Thc evergreen and loving trea Of sweet and endearing momorio. .1 (STICK.

WASHINGTON, .lune 7.-Representative Livingston, of Georgia, the ranking mi nority of the House Conimittoo on Ap- 1 proprintions, made tho following state- ' mont to-day as to tho appropriations ' mado by the first session of tho 50th ' Congress, from the standpoint of the minority: "Notwithstanding the enormous ap propriations for limn on account of tho Spanish-Cuban war tho army and navy 1 appropriations for this session aro $r>0,- ' 000,000 in excess of those for the last 1 session, riic statement I submit shows ! also that in every department of tho ' Qo vor mn ont, beginning with tho agri- ' cultural and ending with tho permanent ' appropriations, wo havo increased at this session tho amounts authorized at tho last session. And when to tho ag- ' gregate we add tho amounts that should 1 have been appropriated at this session, 1 but which have been deferred, for no ' good reason, or at least for reasons that ' need no explanation on tho part of those in control-amounts whioh must be ap propriated at tho second session of this Congress, such ns that necessary lo com plote tho Nicaragua Canal, (the bill hav ing passed the House, carrying authori zation of an expenditure of $111,000,* nun,) ?md also that usually appropriated for rivers and harbors, $10,000,000; and for public buildings and grounds, $.'),000,* OOO, and four outstanding claims, esti mated at $10,000,000-if, I say, we add snti.uikl.tiiio to tho sum stated in the tallie, $700,720,170, wo would have a grand total of $870,720,470 for this ses sion alone. And thus the total shown in the exhibit is not quito complote or fair, considering that such large amounts that must IK; met are withhold for the next session. I submit that lo bo fair we should let cindi fiscal year lake can; Of all necessary appropriations, and not unload Ibis year oil thc fiscal year 1002 that should bo provided for and included in the fiscal year 1001. I call attention also to thc constant and general increase in the appropriations for pensions ami likewise lo tho legislativo, executive and judicial appropriations. 'these items could not have been all'ectcd to any great extent by tho .Spanish-Cuban war. lt shows, indeed, an increase, as Indore slated, all along the line, despite tho fact thal the committee on public buildings and grounds have hold back all matters before thom and the committee Oil rivers and harbors all mailers before I hem, with two or three exceptions, and nil ac counts and claims have been practically barred from consideration al thin ses sion.'' Mr. Livingston then gives a large table showing the appropriations for the years 1807 to 1001, inclusive, and continues: "lt should he borne in mind that in tho case of (he above noted appropriations for the navy, the authorization of (be eight new battleships involves an ulti mate expenditure for construction, ar mor and armament of something like $50,000,000, not one dollar of w hich is now appropriated for and does not figure in the navy item, bill must be met in ful ure years. Tho dominant party at tempted to commit this Congress at this session, and doubtless will renew their efforts at tho coming session to commit tho Covcriinioill te what is known as tho ship subsidy scheme, WIdell involves tho sum of $120,000,000 to he expended throughout a period of years."

Southoru Sonaturs and Roprosontativcs in Congress did some good work during tho closing daye of tho sossiou in tlio in terest of manufacturing dovolopmont for tho South, It is woll known that tho Southoru wator-coursoB nro heilig utilized to a great oxtont for power to run factories and planta and for electri cal purposes, and in many of tho smaller streams it becomes necessary, bolero capital will invest, to <lotormiuo tho How and consequent powor which they are oapablo of producing. This is being dune through ollicial stream lncaBuretnonts and gaugingK by tho United States Geological Survey, and wliou au increased appropriation of ??100,000 for this purpose wns opposod in C'ongroBB, it brought Souators Butler, of North Carolina, Clay, of Georgia, Kop* rcBontativo Livingston, of Jcorgia, and nt hers to their foot in defense of a work of snell vital interest to their States and to all those sections which coutoin any possibiliticH for manufacturing develop ment. Not only this, but Senator Hut lor demanded tbat $260,000 ho appropri ated instead of tho $100,000 recom mended hy tho Sonate Appropriations Committee "This work of tho Geological Survoy," said .Senator lintier, "is of great impor tance to tho South, livery man in North Carolina S00B the great commer cial and practical val no of tho work, livery man who wants to estahlish a BOtton factory wants to know exactly liow much water power thoro is in a particular stream, because then ho can tlooido whether ho will build tho factory thoro or not, and if ho does build it lhere, whether ho must supplement it with steam powoi." Senator ('lay strongly advocated tho ? ]< incl ease in the appropriation as some thing justly duo the South. Ho stated that tho appropriation had gradually in creased from $?,(XX) for this purpose to ? 10,000, lo $40,000 and then to $50,000, iud now $100,000 was recommended hy tho Senate Appropriations Committee lt was hero proposed to increase this imount to $2.r>0,000. He did not know, lie said, of any appropriation that had boon of moro relativo benefit to tho peo ple of tboStatoof Georgia. Ho cited a BOBO where capitalists refused to estab lish their plant bocauso tho Govornmont could not furnish data showing tho ca pacity of a stream whoso power they intended to utilizo. Since then appro priations had boon applied, the desired data furnished by thc Geological Survey, Lhc power of tho stream developed, and over a million dollars invested by these capitalists. "In my opinion," concluded Senator Clay, "this appropriation is of vast im portance. So far as my Stato is con cerned, wc realize that when wc develop our water powor and utilizo our raw material, we give employment lo our idle labor and build up tho South." After considerable debato along these lines Senator Dlltlor's amendment pre vailed and $260,000 was inserted. In tho House, the friends of the mcasuro wcro not so well organized and tho amount was cut down to tho$100,000. Congress men who favored tho measure, however, took occasion to speak strongly in bo half of moro liberal appropriations in tho near future, and stated distinctly that they would ho demanded. Kopro son tali ve Livingston, of Goorgia, do dared the i m port SHOO to thc whole pee pie of tho work of tho Geological Sur vey, and emphasized its groat value to mining interests, as well as in mailers nf stream measurements, prevention of stream polution, irrigation, drainage, and general waler supply, and stated thal thc South wa*; only in the begin ning of her dovolopmont. "In my section of tho country," lu said, "wo are Hooded with lett ?rs from every quarter of the Inion inquiring ?ibout water powor, and many relate to the question of the supply for mining in the mineral regions." Mr. Livingston hoped, he said, that in tho futuro Congress would deal more liberally with this important question that $100,000 was a mm e pit tania; when it had to ho spread over tho whoh United Stales, ami thal los Siaie nloilC dionhl have $800,000 or $000,000 to prop arly oom plo to tho work. Ho proposod, lie said, from this timo oe lo work for better recognition for tho South ?it thc bands of Congress along this important line, and bc served notice upon his col leagues that larger appropriations for Lids work must bo forthcoming, and .bat tho sooner they were made the hol er for the pcoplo of the country.
