April 13.1MI ; ,.+ ^^n?a. i?. ?. xiilman, Oorernor, Columbia. Dear Sir: 1 am anxious to dispose of the 1 funds to whicb your biate in entitled under the Act of Congress of August SO, 1990, respecting the oollegee of agriculture and ] mechanic aria. 1 do nat consider the action of your legislature coArolliog my offioial action or judgment >n relation to tliie fund. Aa a recommendation it baa tba highest Consideration, and baa had all due deferenoe. but it it for the Seoretary of lit* Iotorior to determine Iheeo <|ueetiona. I cannot consent to divide tlio funds evenly, so rcccommcudcd by the Legialaturo, between colleges for the two races, where the per centago ol schoolsee for the white is 1)9.82 per cent, and 60.18 per cent for tbe^colored. If you are willing to receive my construction of the law and my decision, 1 sh^ be very glad to send you the fl6,000 now, and f 16,000 more for the second payment as soon as a satisfactory raport ta received as to the disbursement of the first instalment. Yours mostrcspsotfully, Jon* W. Nomi.s, Sooretary. To the above Governor Tillmuo replied as follows : The lion. John YV. Noble, Secretary of the * Interior, Washington, D. C,?Hear sir: Tour letter of April 18, in reference to the disposition of the money appropriated by an Act V* WU|I CM AUguih lit/. rvi MieVvwvne of the colleges of Agriculture and mechanic arts," has beeu received. I liad supposed that correspondence on the subject was at an end, because Section 2 or tbe Act provides : "The grant of monoys authorized by the Act are made subject to the Legislative assent of the several States and Territories to the purpose of said grant." Further, in Section 1, the inoguago is: "The Legislature of such fllaln mtv nrnnoaa and report to the Secrets^ of tho loieriur a just and equitable division of (be fund to be rsoeivod under this Act." It is clear, therefore, that this matter must be determined by our Legislature*, and not by rue as Uovornor ; aud, tu my mind, it is equally clear that you will bo utraiuiug the power given you under Section 4, if you continue to claim tbat an equal division is not an "equitable" ouo. As far as this State is concerned, we have complied with all the conditions imposed in * "' Section 1. where it is expressly atatsd that "No tnuuwy mhmll bo paid out under this Act to any State or Territory for the support and | uiaiutenanco of a college whore a distillation of race or oolor is made in tho admission of tudeuts, but tbo establishment and maintenance of such colleges separately for white und colored studouts shall bo held to bo a compliance with the provisions of the Act, if tho funds received in such State or Territory be equally divided as hereinafter set forth." South Carolina has given one-half of tho proceeds of tho land script fund to Clatlin ? College. There is a special annual appropriation of $5,000 from tho Statu treasury to that soliool. Wo uow proposes to give it one half of this fund, ami consider tbat it is i "equal," "equitable" and "just," so to do ; e and 1 hope that, after studvinir tho Act mora * "* ?I closely, you will agree with mo. 1 titu vory respectfully your obedient eer- 1 vant, It.

ALLIANCE AIMS. a Xot Instituted far I'olitieal I'urjsoits, but to '' Help Farmers Industrial!'/. ii West Corner, S. 0., April 19.?Editor of b grainy iiorwniftl amotion, 1 shall bo satis- ^ rioti ii I can impress one thought that will divert the attention of uu honorable class of ' citizens from politics. " The field of politics Is not an Eldorado 1 for thcauu-browned, ewrut-stuiucd yeomanry ( of South Carolina. If it wan the iutention < f (he founders of 1 the Farmers AUinncc to pnunoto the best in- I tercsts of agriculture, io t ucouragc ccon oroy, unity and harmony, to preserve honor and to be in alt our dealings honest and , square, iho efforts of the origiual projectors hare fallen far short of thoir nirns. The orgauizntiou was intended to benefit and ui iu injure nn already dcbt-j-iddwt people. i It was to devise methods of gaining nn in- ( dependent living; of buying less on a credit ^ aud selling more fur civil; of making markets, creating detniiuda, ami furnishing sup- ' plies ; of improving conditions and placing (. an Honorable avocatiou npou a plan* of nil- { ipicstionable integrity. It was not talmded to be religious or political in its workings . 1 and for its patrons to wrestle with questions t of church or state will eventually bring ills- \ aster upon the order. I The ouo destroof every planter is to improve his financial condition, and with calm reflection every thinker \vill see at a glance ] that this can he done by diligent attention to the dutios of his business. No other plan can be better. Politics and planting are incomputable. By this baneful mixture ' friends aro lost, money ill spent, business neglected and embarrassment results. What special benefit will accrue to on?> r.,? husd:?<( if ine sub treasury scheme succeeds ; or what permanent injury will he wrought if it fails ? What will it matter to the average planter whether (iovernor 'l'illmnn or the Coosaw company succeed in their mining contest-.' The condition of how many Alliuncemcn will he improved by W. J. Talbert beating his plough share into a political pruuiug hook, and using the order as a vehicle to ride from the growing fields to the cushioned office ? Hut wnge workers and brcvl winners will fail to read the correct answer. Then why grow so restless or he so oagcr to sow seeds of discord ? Why not sow to roup a harvest? JSow to pay Accounts already made before th? oiuilv of n creditor for goods through "tho Exchange." The cool, calculating, conservative Alliuucemen ore citizens of integrity and are generally men not in debt. The hot-headed, unsafe agitators and kickers aro to a unit behind." slow pay, unsatisfactory, and. to the inerchant, uusolioited customers. . The Alliance jf made what it was designed for, is, without a doubt, an order of merit, aud would benefit any community surrounding it, and it does not deserve tho abuse to which it is subjected by selfish triehuior. and deceitful schemers.

Wonderful consistency ! How loDg will this town stand such a drain upon the vitals ef her business .system 7 The last enterprise in which Union men and money play the most prominent parts is "The Carolina Investment Co., of Bristol, Tcnn."

This is a strong head, flnauoially and intel ectual'y, to any enterprise, and insures 1 ability and fair dealing in conducting the < affairs of (ho company it represents. 1 But don't let us forgot that in two yenrs 1 Union, (wills tho present drain upon ' hor resources, will have invested $150- ' ,?MX) ? the amount inifitrntivcly demanded ] a few years ago to establish a Cot- I ton Factory here?to boom up and build towns, factories and other enterprises, in J towns, many miles awnv ami in other dtatoa.
