Among the number, (now more than eleven hundred) our owti state has tot a dozen representatives, and all tho other Southorn States collective. ly not niore than one hundred. The opening of the "Ohio and Chesapeake" RIailroad last winter, (xtending from tide water to the Ohio river, a distance of nearly five hundred miles, directly West. has afforded the ,neans of transportation for an ontire. ly different class of population from that of the generous, amiablo and courteous -Sduthron. Of t'hnso p;escit tat this time at least one half aro from tho North western States, W'ilst ott-fourth Lre 'from the atakbs i irtl of Baltimore. The rbnaitiing fourth are from Virginia. Maryland, Nkorgia and Kcntu.ery.

Such a thing as a belle: is, unknown among them, cither in nanuorv-, dress, fasci wirt ion or otiquette.

A. W1TINNS13ORO. R. MEANS DAVIS, Editor. Wednesday Morning,"Aug. 13 1873. A Froo and Easy Party. The Union lilraid says "Tho Ie publican party has a way of its own, a freo, inde'pendent, gcod natured way of doing things " We agree with our contemporary. The Republicai party has a way of its own. It has a way of stealing money that is novel and refreshing to thoso wiho are not its victims. Money jobs and spoculatiors and whuliose.o rob beries on the public treasury have been per-potrated in the last thirteen years that were unkinown before. We accord to the Radicals all the honor and glory that may have resulted from the swindling land grants, the credit vnobilier, the custom house frauds, the illegal issues of State bonds and the depreciation cf South ern securities. All ther.o ways of swindling the peoplc are Rad ical ways. Radical armice had also a free and independent way ( enterii-g defence. e . uwelli' , i .hlinag belpiless wo 1ne., iJ a;csLig iito trunks and wardrobe.s without waiting for keys. Their way of arraying theumselves in aihparel aind jewelry belonging to other people was also somnewhat free and c asy, charaeceristic of thne free and independent pafrty to which they owed allegiance. The Radicals have also a good natured way of saying to thoir victims "Be quiet, we don't as.k for anything youi havn't got, we will be satisfied with taiking all you have," and when they make us poorer and poor-er, and sqtmunder our natural re sour ces, and repel imiunigration from our shores, and grind our noses in the dust, they tell us good naturedly that Lhis is alt for odlr gdod'; that we are being educated up to the standard of political equality andl freedom ; and that though all is wrong now, all will be right somne time before doounday. T1hese Radical, are a clever good na tur-ed set, of fellows. They a mile in .your faoe, and put you in a good 1u mor and pick your pocket at the same tinie. And they havo a way of their idwn, a good natared wvay of violating the constitution, and catching up innocent fellows at (load of night, and hiring perjured1 villains to swear against them, and packing juries and conv-ict ing thoem of erines they never comn mitoed, and sending them to Albany and shaving theit heads to p't-bvent their becouiing insane from the out rages peoparated on thoem, and giv ing them Joseph's coats to wear, and teaching tl.em trader', just to keep thoem out of nmischief, you know, until after the elect ion is over-. Then, with a child like and bland smilo they t urna them out far from home, sick atid des titute, onm condition they will parom so to do niot/ing no mocre. Mena. while the Radical Supreme Court hood naturedly refrains from telling the Radical Executive that ho is usurping atmthority and tiolatimng the fundamoental pinieples of Idagna Charta and coinmnittinig outrages on a conquered poopio for which he richly deserves to bo hmanged. And Giant good naturedly smokes tia allows tine tree and independent clerks at Wash ingtoum to play the deuce with public affi'irs; and lloast Ilutler- good natur-ed ly, gives entertainments served up with stolen apnn -nnd Colfae amd Wilion good naturedly consent to lecture before Christian Assooations. and Sduday Schools on the eighth cormandmcnt, with credit thobilier So-ip peeping out of their pookets. We like tis party. It is a "go *ahead, progiessivo 'party," caring naught for procedent, and regarding, the coustitutio'n ind'th'o' deealogho as obsolete. In old tinios people were honest ; -conseqluontry 'honesty *is old fogyimh ; CI., th'o party of progras eschews hono ty. The Union-Ilorald it odrrect. The 'Republiouwn party is freo and oamy, 'gJ natured and In-i dependent, a.d altogibidr lovely-. Tho.President and the fCu K ui. President trant has informed the coMnIMj tee from Sut'll 'Carolina, that he will order all prosecutions against the 'Nu'Klux to'ease except in a fuw aggravated eases. We thank him for 'this prdmise, although we deeth it but just. lIe howevior, inb's interview assumed too much the role of a 3ust but meroiful phrcut, dealij'g with a prodighl son. The Kin Klux were entirely wrong in doing what they (lid, but thev ~were as much sinned against ha sinning. As for the vile uioaus who carried out the orders of government in arresting Ku Klux,, they acted as atrociously as t'liir 1Vio tima ever did. If the President will now punish Merrill and his creiv for warring upon 'inndoent men aud de. fenceless wdmen, a'bd 4haking whole. sale arrests, for the solo purpose of obtaining the rewards offered, vgo will have nothing to say about the sevori. ty with wich he -puninhed the Ku Klux. This 'whole Mra'ir front the time of the first raid to the time when the Albimny penitentiary closed its door upoi'tlhe'boudmbned crimi nIals was a disgrakce to'oivill:ation. Petee now reigmi supreme, and if the general g6ver'nment will evince any intent ion of dealing Tairly with Owh people-, it need fear no future or ganiz.ation o'f r'esistanc t'6 its an iority. Brigham's Troubles. The prophet of t'h'e latte'r day' -aints is getting into Yiot 'vter. Thirty-t'wo wives naid sixty-se'ven small children aro t'Oo much for an old gentleman of 9%ovnty-two. He1 can't keep tleu I'nm 'bhjection. ilhs eighteen'th wife, Anna Mliz. is in open rebellion against his cojugal au. thority, and has not only decoamped, bag and baggago, but is sueing him for $20,000 lawyers' fees, 'EtOO0 a miontli Mimoliy, and $260,00 af'ter a divorce has been oLtained.

Univeraity verajig 0811ege, Thie Phcnuix in a recent article dii ploring the doeline of the State li versity attribute it to the raical change made ini its organization ai the close of the wvar. The editor boa lieves that a college would have ritt odeded. In this we diff'er from bhim. The writi- of that artice gratduated ini the College. We passed through a cuirriculuni hii the University. It is therefore iifatui-al that our ideas should differ as theo relativo nmerit of the two i.mtitutions. We bblievo our contemprary la nmstakE~d as to the true cause of the failure di the Uni vel.ity. The people of the $tate lost benfden.eo in the institution, not from any ddfu.d in itself; btit ffowu the character of tlio parti&s having cou. trol of its affairs. Just ud Prouiddnt Coopar tnised the College, and Prosideont Barnwoll ro'establhished it; just so tihe prosperity bf the Unifersi ty depends oni thme chara6r of ih6 Trustees and Professors. Whon the University was estaba isbod, most of the ren.re ofa ath old Collego were re-instated, and va anoles were 'illed with goenthen of aoli4owledged integrity atid ability, gontlimen in whtosehanids every one was willidg to ontrist his son. The Tr'uites'were the best m6h in the State. 'Noithstaidiig Aho'poverty of tho4dotrk. aretin hastened to. Bond Iar'chil eon to (ht eir od alma matdr. In 1867 the number of sti. 'deb(s reOUhid eohsdrably over a bridrel. They *re as sturlioiis, as diligent aDd s'gontleinatnly in their ddportmont as the students of any "college'in the land, and the standard 'Was its high as as that uf any educa tional institute south of the Virginia Universilty. The first'11iA was struuk at the prosperity of the University in the election of a bo-irl of Trustees odious to the patrons. The election of Mesers. Robertson, Moses, Neaglb, .PT'linson, Jillson, Bloseuan and Car. dozo, as trustees was not calculated to inspire confidevoo in the Institution. Following this, the Professors LeConto resigned their pos'ifiof. But Students still cane in sinadler numbeis. 'ih n'st year, 'Professurs. Alexander and Soobtlebon resigned. Their places wore filled by Profes sors Hart and 'abet-, two South Caro ' iniatns, sad . o0'pe t6-nt gentlemen. Prof. Woodrow succeeded Prof. Jos. LeCoute. Prof. John LeConte's chat r was.tiven to a gentleman of whom. no one in the 1tatb knev anything except that he had come Soith to or-. ganize a Radical Episcopal Chureb in Columbia a nd hd failed. Last -year P1%fms. Wioodrov and flart i~ero i'etired 'izid 11ev. Mr. Cum. mings and Dr. Roberts were made Professors of Miathomatics and Cliei istry. This year Prof. LaBode was removed from his old professorship to succeed Prof. Reynolds, ret eed, und a Prof. 'ok was picked up from somewhere to succeed him. What is the i'esult of the3e changes ? The averag4 st'dent selects mathe matios, 1nglish, literature, physics, and chemistry as his bran3hes. These professurships ttre filled by men of whom ho knows nothing and in whom he cannot therefor'c afford to repose confidence. We have the greatb't esteem for the old professors, Aind6r whose tute. lago we passod our c6ll'ege days. We know nothing of th'o impotted pro fessors. System has but little to do with education ha thieo times. An able professer and a diligert student can succeed tnder any kind of organi zation. But haie a distasteful pro fessor, and a school, or a college, or a university will go to the dogs. The preceptor muit be a ma'n who can be looked up to as an exanmple. Stu dents Sesirous of studying medicine, or law, or of learning the languages, mental anid moral, philosophy, or bistory', will find professors from our own midsat who are known to tbe State. Thos'e desirous of learning other things muat choose for thiem selves. The faIlure of the University may be explained in a few words--want of confldenco in th'o Tr'ustees and the now Professors. We iay hereafter speak of the relati'vb ieirits of col C qlonel J. P. Thomas, late of the South Carolinian, has' perfected ar sangements for thre establ ishimont and condu'ot ,of the "Carolina M ilitary In etiinte," in the subui-bs of Charlotto, N. s.', orptl- istt of Octob'er next. Colonel Thomas hsas had an experi ence ini his profession of over t welve years, somne of which was in connece tion with tho South Carolina MIilitary Acadeig, and is knowrt so widlely for perfootion in the tirt of teaching uthat we need say but little else than (10 scribe the odoeilont location and nat ural merits of the academy over which ho lia boon called to preside.
