'e~tJR~ orespondenoe. A, S. 0., Feb. 1, 1878. inef: The:bill to organize U"rOity.oreated the hot,%, dbate that bas been bad on any a ib t yet troughtup In th Legis . Aftor several days spent in 11il., 111 passed, and was sent >& .0ig'Senate, wbere n doubt it will also ,Ras aud Rcome a law. The no 1 y,for estsa>lishing this institution A part14ular time, is not apparent ~ In the up country we have Walhalla, and Newberry es, ald the Furman Univern fr the e'ducation of males, while fut a are Willhtmaston, Due West and Oyth4w6od olleges for the educa. V 4r be females. Tbese institu.. tArish ample opportunities for Shintelletual and moral training of Ohe youths of the up country, while hbe lr.couitry could have patron.. .9d them,.and the. Colleges in Char. ,I$Qn and Columbia as,. cheaply as troy can the University, when es-. i"ablished, notwithstanding the free tuition given to one student from each county. But it is urged by the ad.. 1ooates of the bill, and I must admit with a go6d deal of force, that young tbi' of limited means who are not able to take a regular course in col. I ge wiill be enabled to graduate in any particular profession or branc h of studits In -the University that they May select, and be more speedily and prtioularly fitted for the profession he mag desire to pursue. The report of the Judiciary Com mittea,' proposing tbe establishment of County Courts, was summarily, *and very properly disposed of by re,. ferones ot the whole matter to the commission to be elected under the ~*provisiQns ot the Constitution by the presevt Legislature, to codify the - aus of the State. Pursuant to a resolation of the Sen.. , regessting the Comptroller Gen oral to turnish an itemized slatement of the bonds, 8Qttting and contingent dobio liability of the State, to Uhe Senste, that officers has replied, in whob the following figures are given: 3rklpatei6 bonded debt as provided forit consolidation Act,65,998,566.21; ~big bonanza" warrants, *115,511.79; litle honanza" warrants, 840,000.00; 9flOIQg ips, -1875-76, 6299,080.67. 9 pg4qman inadverteney in the tax .i Ot., 1870, therb is a deficiency f .6,'{'53.05 Thig later amount will Sprovided for in tho p)resent appro, ddIgyon bill. These figures added to-. g otiher make an aggregate of $6,769,.. 11.72. Te CompLroller says: "since >tedate of these acts ("big and little S bornas') the floating indebtedness ~ f the State has been increased by K2 inis incurred and at present utns * eadited. There aro no dates in this iKo oen which to report." The bond ~fmission- will perhaps give the do *~ nformation on this point. In beinwith the above figures p taken into consideration the otthe Bank of the State. How ~~oLthse bills are outstanding rknown, but some estimate 1~mat $1,000,000, while others think iare .not more than $600,000 of ~' ni,The State, ander the decision fhupeme ,Court 6f1 the United ~ ~~y~hl4 o forOed to provide for ~anma future day, and they considered as'a portion of the 6t.

A majotity of the' members wereO6bn cohvinced of the*folly of their action, and, .for the purl*se of preserving the pill, it was referred to a sp"Oial committoo of five farmers and three lawyers. The election of Jndges. is the all absorbing topic now. All say they regret the decision of the Supreme Court at this juncture, and wou.d have preferred that the old Judges should have been allowed to serve out their time and then have retired quietly. But the Legislature made the issuo, and now it is our duty to meet it squarely and manfully. Men to fill these exalted and important po sitions should be selected solely fur moral and legal fitness for the posi tion. Political services in the past, or prospective, should not be taken into consideration, unless all other qoalifi cations were eqtul. Who will be the successful'men it is hard to tell. There are many cndidates and each, of course, is sure he will be elected. The election will not take plnce be fore the middle or latter part of next week. The Maffett Registor Liquor Law bas-been defeated in the Houso by a very large majority. D. F. B. Election of Judges. The Legislature were to have cloc ,ed six Circuit Judges yesterday, but we are unable to say whether it did or iot. For some reason, it has contin. .inued this election from time to time, ,beif among which, we suppose, wvas o0 give the candidates time to canvass and to hear Wle expression of the bar tnd people upon the question. The >ars of Greenville, Andorson and A b, moville, three out of the five counties somaposing the 8th Circuit, have ad, dressed letters to the Legislature pro. testinIg against the ro-election of Judge Cooke, and urging upon the members thu importance of haiving a pure and able Judiciary, and asks them to have an ey.o solely to the qualillcations of tbe candidatesbothb in point of moral characfor and legal acumen, and not to elect a man to this high tr uist as a re ward for polit icl services. The several bars on Judge Mackey's Circuit have done the same which, unquostionably, has blasted all hopes of the eletion of those two Judges. The bars of the respective' Dircuits aro(certainly the best judges af the qualifications ofC a man for this position, and when they, with one voice, protest against the election of a man, the Legislature could not, with any show of justification, dis~rgard bLheir wishes. It is said that Col. rhomas Thompson, of Abbeville, and M aj. WVhitner, of Greonville, wore'the me~t prominenat candidates for the place, arid one or the other, in all probability, is now Judge. Mother Shipton's Prophecy We publish on our outside this week Hiother ShipltonI's prophecies, with somments of the Augusta Chroniclo and Constitutionalist. It will be seen r.hat all of these prophecies have been fulfilled except the last one, vig: The destruction of the~ world 'in 1881. Wo have but a abott time before us, and should be ballanoing aceounts. We think, however, there is but little hope for the United States, as it has aumbitted to such an outrageous fraud, in the present occupant of the Whi'te House, that It will not have the~ tiIno to settle the score, by the wipibg out of the stigma, in the seats ing of a.

C.; and whereas the dividing ri4ge between the Saluda an,d Savan nah ]Riyers is generally conceded to be the beist natural ioad bed for such connection, extending from the foot of the Buo Ridge to Augusta, Port Royal and Charleston; and whereas the proposed charter fbr a- road from Easley to Belton will be an important link in the progress of this great Westein and Squthern connection by rail. Therefrore,be it Resolved, That we urge our Repr% sentatVes, both of Pickons and An derson, to press our Legislature to grant the charter at once of the afore said road.
