for a moment did he appear to have any dread
of death.
number of complaints ha7e been I
made that pnekages of Inst week's Times did
not reach their destinations. Two of the packages,
Cold well and Coleraine, were directed
wrong by the mailer in this office, and we will
try and avoid n similar error hereafter, but
how other packages wero misplaced or lost we
cannot find out. All that we know about them
is, they were sent from this office to the Postoffice.
IVc are authoritatively informed that I
the Southern Express Company have made considerable
reduction in the4r rates for the transmission
of freight and money. Formerly, the
charge for freight from this point to Charleston
was SI.To per 100 lbs, now it is only $1.10;
and the rate for monoy to Charleston has been
reduced from SI.23 per ?1,000, to SI per
61,000. The rates to other points are reduced
in proportion.
The reduced rates went into effect on the 1st
of July lost. ^
In the State Convention Col. McKisaick I
epector General, and received a number of votes.'
In speaking of this, the Editor of the JVrtce and
Courier; "who was a member >of the Convention
says s !
Col. McKisaick's popular strength is not to
be measured by the declared vote in the Convention,
as ho was put in the field in the last
moment, nnd many votes cast for him were
changed before the result was officially announced."

We have reasons for believing that if Col.
MoKlsBick had allowed his name to be used, at I
the opening of the Convention, ns a candidate
for that office, he would have been elected.

A Fro Tuition Compromise.
There appears to be a strong desire for a
compromise upon the question of freo tuition ]
in the South Carolina Collego, but it is difficult )
to arrange a basis upon which such compro- j
raise shall be made, hence a wide breach con- i
tinucs to exist between those who favor free <
tuition aud those who have heretofore vigorously i
opposed it. There is, however, wo are pleased (
to say, a spirit of concession growing in "both
i parties, provided a middle ground can bo found

I'recisely as we predicted, the Ball at Santuc
ist Friday night was indeed a splendid affair.

ho scene almost made us thiDk that wo wort
n fairy laud. The good people of Santuc,
irho are notod for their liborality and hospiality,
surpassed themselves in the meri^ time
hey afforded the young people on this occasion,
tnd in the hearts of all wo are sure that th<
remembrance of this Ball will be laid nwaj

An End to Hour. ScRAnso.?Kdward Shepcrd,

eel it my duty to let suffering humanity know
t. Have had a running sore on my leg for
ight years ; my doctors told me 1 would have
o have the bone scraped or leg amputated. I

thouiselves and for tho most effective diffusion
of "higher education" among all classes of
i citizens of tho State.
, lJoth parties are now near enough together
to agree that somo provision should be made
> for free tuition to those of our worthy young
men who arc desirous of obtaining a thorough
s Collegiate education, but are not able to pay
r for it; but where to looate tho dividing line
i between those who are able to pay and those
. who are not, appears to be a problem bard to
? solve.
j Another stumbling block lies in tho wsy of a
- satisfactory arrangement is,?shall the doors
t of the State College be open for fret tuition to
B all poor young men who may be worthy and
1 prepared to receive it, or shall only a limited
I number from each County be allowed, as in the
Citadel Academy !
I The solution of the frbe *lultie?k4^|ytion
seems to hinge upon harmonizing th<r two
i points, i. who aro able to pay, and shall the
. number of free students bo limited,
i As we would extend the benefits of higher
education to tho largest number possible, we
1 are decidedly in favor of an unlimited admission
of free students, after strict examination
a as to character and advancement in prescribed
1 studies.
As fo who are able to pay, we would suggest
h that it be decided by the tax book. Parents
who pay taxes upon, say, $2,000 or over, or
d minors whoso property is asscssod, for that
amount, may not be entitled to frco tuitioii in
n the Stale College, but all others, sons of
citizens or orphan residents of tliiaj vtlalc,
h to be admitted to tho College freo of oharge
for tuition, after passing the necessary, ox&mih
nation. We further hold that as the State
College is supported by the heaviest ,tnx payers
s in the State, they have a just claim upon its
benefits, and the tuition feo should lie as low as
is a proper regard for the efficiency of the igsti
union win pcrmu.
8 Understand us, we do not ofTcr this compromise
wiih the idea that it will reduce the taxes
A' .
i- of the poor people, for wo do not believe it
will; but we find a growing belief in Die winds
of many, who claim to be of the poorer class,
that "the rich people of the State arc getting
is from the State College something that they, do
not pay for,'* and we offer it for what it is
h worth. We further refer our roaders to the
conimunicatiou in another aolutnn over the
signature of "Truth," showing how little the
the College and Citadel both cost the poor
people to maintain, in comparison with the vast
n amount of good they nro doing to all classes
and cpnditious of our citixens.

a Will there ? War 1
A difficulty now exists between the United
b States and Mexican government* concerning
'? the arrest and confinement in jail ofsa TfcXa^
0 Editor, named Cutting, by the authorities of
Mexico, for publishing contemptuous articles
'? upon the Couits of that country find dis'
looks somowhat serious nnU causes much excitement
among the people of both countries,
the authorities of both governments are acting
1 with coolness and discretion, and wo think the
? case will bo adjusted without any bloodshed.'
We arc informed that a demand lias been
!" made by Secretary Bayard for the release of
Cutting, but refused by Mexico, and the two
governments are now in correspondence upon
the matter. We recognize and appreciate the
^ gravity of the principle involved, and have no
fear tbnt the dignity nnil honor of the United
"States will be compromised in the least by
q President Cleveland and his Cabinet ; but gotting
upu war between two countries now-a-days
( involves more diplomacy and more serious
' cause than it did somo years ago. The spirit
K of all civilized governments is to avoid war
rather than incite it.

Delusive Promises. \ ' fir
Mb. Euitob:?By wild assertion, oar people )
bsvo been led to beliove that if the State Legls- (
laturo could only be filled with men of cconoan- i
ical views, that taxes, State and County, would i
be considerably reduced?probably one-hslf, or <
at the very least, one-fourth. Those who make t
such promises may be called upon hereafter to
explain why tho promises have not been fill- 1
filled; why taxes have not been materially less- J
encd. For a little thought and study I will show ,
thai this burden of taxation must still longer
be borne by our people. Our railroad bonds <
will require four'mills tax lbr interest add 4
gradual retirement. Our county expenditures ,
cannot be rcduoed below the amount realised <
from a three-mills tax. Rich nnd poor must
pay two mills for tho commod school education 1
of our children. Quarantine, elections, salaries,
legislative expenses, and other disbursements i
will still be required. The Lunatio and Muta
Asylums cannot bo maintained for less than
$100,000 a year, and, for seven years to corns,
$400,000 are needed to pay interest on the
publio debt.
The wildest promises of the rashes! reformers
have not suggested retrenchment except in ,
the following particulars : legislative pay, salaries
of officers, State houso completion; Columbia
Canal, College and Citadel. ^
Turning to the Comptroller-General's report
of November 1, 1885, wo find that the per Siem
of members and salaries of employees for the
General Assembly aggregate 880,932. lledacc
this by 25 per cent, and we will have a saving
of $7,783. The salaries of all officers paid out
of llie State Treasury aruouut to $190,2U6 reduce
this by 25 per oent., nnd we bare a further
saving of $40,074. Let the valuable property
known as the State House be permitted to become
permanently Injured ibr want of completion
nnd wo will have a further saving of $75,000.
Stop tbo Columbia Canal where it is,
nssumo that two hundred convicts work there
every day, and that every convict so employed
could be hired out at $12.50 a month, and there
will bo a further saving of $40,000. Retain
the two-mills tax of the rich man to help educate
the children of his poorer neighbors, b?t
withhold the one-twentieth of ono mill tax
which goes (it is said) for the benefit of the
rich man's sons only?that is, shut up the College?and
we havo $15^000 less of taxes to pay.
Abolish the Citadel?that school where the very
poorest boy of our county can obtain a firstclass
education without a dollar's expenditure
of money?and we liavo a saving of $20,000.
Add theso savings together :
Legislative expenses $ 7,730 00
.Salaries 40,074 00
State llouso 75,000 00
Canal 40,000 00
College and Citadel 35,000 00
Total $200,807 00
Whatever inay be asserted?whatever any individual
or the majority in Union county may
wish?no Banc man believes that a legislature
will ever assemble in South Carolina that will
lop off all of the above expenditures. Bijt
assume that thoy will all bo withheld, nnd that
no now appropriations w.ill be made for census,
Farmers' College, or other purposes ; then, the
tax of $841,525, levied in 1885 for State purposes,
will be reduced to $034,718 in 1887, a
reduction in Slate taxes of twenty-five j>er cent.
ftjnlon County In 1985 paid $47,500 to the tax
-1.- .?.l.i ?nr.n
-mm , h> -"vi, ??v "?um pujr ?r?o,VOV.
The taxpayer who paid $88 in 1885, would pay
would be reduced to $40.37, aud (liat of $i6.60
to $1-1.12?a reduction of nine per cent.
Will tbo taxpayer consider eueh a reduction
a fulfilment of the promises and pledges that
lie so freely hears to-day 7 And yet it must bo
admitted that the pruning-knife of retrenchment
can go no deeper?cannot, indeed, go so
deep. Truth.
Thorough Democratic Principles.
11. M. Stokes.?I enclose a eery concise
statement of thorough Democratic principles,
as given by Jefferson himself, in his inaugural i
address, hoping you will insert it in tbo earliest J
number of the Times.
I suppose no one will doubt the wisdom of
Jefferson, the greatest statesman the United
States ever produced, with up* <>r two exceptions.
Though the will of the majority is in all
cases to prevail, that will, to be rightful, must
be reasonable : the minority possess thoir equal
rights which equal laws mu9t protect, and to
violate which would be oppression-'
'Having banished from our land that relig|
ious intolerance under whioh mankind so long
| bled and suffered, wo have yet gained little, if
we countouance a political intolerance as despotic,
and capable of as wicked and bloody
persecution.'
1 believe this the strongest government on
earth. 1-believe it the only one where every
man at the call of the laws would fly to tho
standard of the law, and would meet invasion
of the public order as his own personal concern.
Sometimes it is said that men cannot be trusted
with the government of himself. Can he then
be trusted with the government of. others 7 Or
have we found angels in tho form of kings to
govern him?'
'A wise and frugal government, which shall
restrain men from inim-in- ? -?* ? -
...... ...j?..u8 vuc nuuuier, una
which shall leave them thoroughly free to regulate
their own pursuits of industry and improvement,
and shall not take from the mouth
of labor the bread it has earned. This is the
sum of good government.' 1
'Equal and exact justice to all men, of what- i
ever state or persuasion, religious or political ;
poace, commerce, and honest friendship with
all nations?-entangling alliances with noue ; the
support of the state govcrumonls in all their
rights as the most competent administrations for
our domcstio oonoerns, and the bulwark against
anti-ropublican tendencies; the preservation of
the general government in its whole constitutional
vigor as tho sheet anchor of our ppaoa at
home and sAlety abroad ; a jealous care of the 1
right of election by the people?a mild and safe
corrective of abuses which are lopped by the
sword of revolution where peaceful remedies
are unprovided ; absolute acquiescence in the
decisions of the majority?the vital principle of
republics from which there is no appeel i
but to force, tho. viul principle and imme- (
diatc parent of dospotism; a well disciplined
militia?our best reliance in penoe and fpr the 1
first moments of war till regulars may relieve
them; the supremacy of the civil over the military
authority ; economy in public expeditures, ,
that labor may ho lightly burdened ; the honest
payment of our debts and sacred preservation of '
the public faith; cnoouragemenl|of agriculture, 1
and of commerce as its handmaid; the diffusion <
of information and tho arraignment of all abases |
at the bar of public reason ; freedom of religion ; ,
freedom of tho press ; freedom of person under
the protection of tho liabeai corpus, and trial
by juries impartially selected. These principles
should be the croed of our political faith, the I
text of civil instruction, the touchstone by which i
to try the services of those we trust; and should t
we wandor from tbem in moments of error or ]
alarm, lot its hasten to retrace our steps, to re- i
gain the roal whioh alone leads to peace, lib- i
erty, and safety.' 1
