These precious infants have provided for

of supercilious conceit ! We have no war

i True, we wish that it would rouse itself from
the lethargy of its provincialism, and the
i scrofulous contemplation of its glorious tra- . .
ditions ami splendid history ; that it would
taboo the syllabub and curds of education,
and instead feed the "young idea" 011 a
literary nutriment that would make whole*
1 some men, educated to know find appreciate
the immeasurable difference between the
boisterous assumption that is generated by
scanty education, and the modesty that
comes from a thorough realisation that one
has just begun the grand ascent to the temple
of education when he receives his degree
of bachelor of arts.

dagger of the "envious Caseu " Alm?y
struck it with the Stiletto of tho ltuliun
l.azzamnc. Mct'rady gave it the unkindest
cut of ail with a rapier, buttoned with tho
awkward siuun of patriotic intercstedness
and zeal for agricultural education.
The "bill" was ably defended by Abbeville's
pride and ('arolina's glory-W. C. llenet.
Messrs. Tindal, IIvans, ISowen, llean and
\N hillock got in some trenchant blows for tho
college. The hitter's short speech was one
of the most effective delivered. It was terse,
incisive and convincing, lie reminded tho
liousc that tho acceptance of the bequest
was the paramount issue in the campaign
of ISSN. That, as evidenced by the votes of
last Session and the votes of this Session,
the majority of the people of the State were
in favor of establishing ait

They had hotly contested tho bill of last
session. They were found opposing tho
present bill with perfect unanimity. Their
tactics betokened factions, discontent, as did
also their weapons?legal technicality and
specious sophistry. Mr. Whitlock thought
that the advocates were more honest than
tho opponents of tho bill. It tho "second
sober thought" had repudiated tho college,
as insinuated by tho opponents, then the;/
were demagogues, catering Ibr votes, not the
advocates. We were standing intrepidly to
ii.n.. ..i:.
selves willi public opinion. Mr. Abney hud
said that liie proposed college woulil bo the

had heard it charged, and he did not deny

was a political institution. If this were true,
the middle class in the State?the class that
ihirkcsaid ' conserved tlie virtue, and was at
once the strength and glory of tli6"*commonwealth,
needed a college to counteract its,ifntlueiico."
This young orator won our res{wct an?I
admiration. lie stood up stpmrcly -lind
boldly for economical measures, lie rarely
spoke, but when he did commanded the attention
of the House, because his speeches'
were pregnant with cogent thought and,
eloquently delivered.
