&n&mm gntrtligenar. E. B. MURRAYt Editor. THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1882. TERMS: ONE YEAR.?1.?0. SIX MONTHS. 7?c? Two Dollar? If not paid in advance. Don't put off registering any longer. Go and attend to it at once, so as to have it off of your mind. Wben you hav e registered put your certificate iu a safe place, so that you can get it when iou need it. Judge Bond act a?ide the verdict in the Acton election case and ordered a new trial, wnich may or may not be had at some time in the future. Thus the great election trials have resulted in a com plete farce, despite the packed juries and the partisan District Attorney. The session of tho Southern Methodist Coufercuce in Nashville, Tennepscc, ia the most important ihui has been held in this denomination for many years. Many important ecclesiastical ques'ious are before it. Up to thia time the lead ing act of the Confcrenco has been thc election of five new Bishops, as follow? : Dr. Alpheus W. Wilson, of the Balti more Conference, and for the past few years Missionary Secretary of the Church, with headquc-ters rtt Nashville, was elected on the first bul!ot, and afterwards Dr. C. Cranberry. Professor in Vander bilt University, but delegate from the Virginia Conference ; Di. Atticus G. Haygood, of Georgia ; Rev. R. R. Har grave, of Tennessee; and Dr. Linus Parker, of New Orleans. The Confer ence will sit for some time yet, and will pas3 upon n number of questions touch ing the discipline and order of the Church, including temperance, dancing and other amusements. The discussions, so far, have been taken up upon the elec tion of Bishops, and thc Conference may be said now to be ready for its general work. Some persons, we understand, object to the Registration law becauso they say it makes them curry a pnss. This objec tion is not a sound or logical one. No man objects to owning real estate because hu bas to have a deed to it, nor does any man object to going into n show becauBO bo has to have a ticket of admission. The certificate of registration ?H only an evidence of the right to vote, and it is required of every man in the State, from tho Governor down, 80 that there is no degradation nor class distinction nbout it. In fnct, tho possession of tho certifi cate will ba a credit to a man, becauso it will confer upon bim n valtmblo right which the man who dor- not httvo ono ol them will be deprived of. Tho law is necessary for tho protection of South Carolina, and our people ought to forego any prejudices about tho chango. Thu late prosecutions in tho United States Courts ought to convince our citizens of the malignity of tho Republican party, and also of the fact that a change in our election system was necessary. Every ono should : .giater end give tho now law a fair trial. If it does not wo-k well it can be repealed next winter. Register, then, and try it onco at least. It will not cost anything except a very little trouble, and its friends believe it will bo of inestimable value to South Carolina. The Episcopal State Convention held ita Annual Convention in Spartanburg last week. About fifty delegates wcro present, and Bishop Howe presided. His report contained the following sta tistics of tho denomination in this State: Ordinations to the priesthood 2, conse cration of churches 2, person* confirmed 843, 1 of the clergy transferred and 5 re ceived into the diocese. Two of tho clergy have died, Rev. J. O'Benr mid Rev. R. P. Johnson. St. Jude's Church, Walterboro', was consecrated ia January last, tho Diocese contributing $1,216.00 for its erection. He urged upon tho Convention tbs necessity of systematic and organized effort in behalf of diocesan missions, nnd of each parish reporting what may be expected from it for the ensuing year. Received for diocesan purposes during the past year $2.015.91. Tba revised version of the New Testa ment was commended, but no clergyman has a right to use it in the public wor ship of the church, v=cept by vote of the General Convention. Its proper place is to bo found in the closet and In the study and at family prayers. It bas done much to establish tho faith of nome who feared the result of modern Greek schol arship when brought to bear on the new ly discovered manuscript. Time will test the merits of the work, it will prob ably not supplant thc old version in tho churches, but it will prove a valuable auxiliary to the preacher in expounding the word of God. Tho session of the Convention was harmonious and of a very practical nature. The members of the Convention were entertained most sumptuously by the citizens of Spnrtau burg. The n6xt session of the Conven tion will be held in Charleston. The session of the Southern Baptist Convention which was held in Greenville last week was largely attended, and in every respect n pleasant and harmonious gathering. The reports from the various missions and evangelical work of tho Convention were in every way gratifying and encouraging. Dr. Moll, of tho Uni versity pf Georgia,, was elected Presi dent, and the same members of the For eign Mission Board were re-elected. Thc Board of Home Missions was reorgan ized, with headquarters in Atlanta. It is understood that there will be a new President of the Board and a new Cor responding Secretary for tbe work. One of the most important questions consid ered by the Convention was the relation of tho denomination to the American Bible Society which resulted in the adop tion of the following resolution : Resolved, That we gravely disapprove of tbe action of the American Bible Society in refusing to aid in tho publica tion and clrcumlation of tbe Burmese version of Dr. Judson, tho accepted and only version of the Scriptures in that language. . Jiesohed, That this Convention will en {;oge in such .measures os may hereafter, n tba Providence of God, seem practi cable and expedient for giving to the world the pure Word of God. Also tho following: In view ot preaaot compuvatkms and uncertainties in denominational Kihi? work, this Convention courteously de clines to niter now into any discuooior or consideration of tbe condition anc ?urposes of tho American and Foreigt ?ble Society." The people of Greenville entertainee! be Convention in a most hospitable manner, and all who were present were perfectly carried away with the enter' prise, the material prosperity, the cour leay and thc mauy social attractions ol our little mountain city. Tho next session of thc convention will be held in Waco Texan. THE ItlGHT OF WOMEN TO VOTE. Thc Senate ?elect committee on woman suffrage, by a volo of three to two, ha? agreed to recommend to the Sennte for adoption, Senator Lapbam's joint resolu tion proposing the following ameudmcut to the Constitution : Article, 1G Section 1. The right of citizens of the United Slates to vote shall not be denied or abridged by tho United States, or by any State, on account of sex. Section 2. That Congress shall have power by appropriato legislation, to en force thc provisions of Ibis article. The vote was, nyes: Lapham, Blair and Jackson-; noes, George and Fair -2 ; absent, Anthony and Perry. It will be seen that thc vote in the committee iudirated a party issue, the Republicans all voting for, and the Dem ocrats against the proposed, amendment. Its presentation to the Senate will bo tho occasion of a prolonged consideration, which will probably result in the defect of tho proposition. It, however, marks thc entrance into nnlionnl politics of a new lanaticism which will necessarily be one of aggressive discussion for years to come. The Republican party is about out of an ?esuc, and it cow looks like woman'a auffrage ia to bo ito new hobby. It will be very many yean before the sense and refinement of the American people will be willing to see the l?dier of our country dragged into tho vortea of public election crowds. We hope thc day will never come when woman's posi lion will bo so greatly lowered. TUE IMPORTANCE OF REGISTRATION The registration of voters in the sever ni counties of this State bas been pro grossing for moro than two weeks In many sections it is feared that Itu white voters will not register as fully ai ihey should do, and thus by apathy ant neglect give to thc negroes a majority o the registered electors in tho State. Wi hope these fears are not well founded Six week.-? yet remain for registration and surely in that time nil of our peo pie can bo induced to take the Bligh trouble necessary to register in order ti bo nblo to vote next November. Th election laws may impose a little troubl upon our people, but they are patriot! enough to incur the little inconvenience necessary to aid in the retention of th government of thin State in the hands o tho respectable and intelligent people c tho conntry. Tho great beauty abou the present election law is that when J mau ia once registered, ho is not untie tho necessity of repeating his registra lion every election. It is a permanen thing. When our people undcrataiu that the good of the State requires tin registration law, wo have no doubt tba tho men who have given weeks, and over raontliH, of their time In red shirt com pani es to the redemption of South Caro lina, will cheerfully givo tho few hours necessary to the retention of tho govern nient which hos done so much for th? State. Wherever the registration lan has been tried, it has worked like i charm throughout the South. Tho met: who have rescued South Carolina fron her oppressors will not hesitate to aub mit to tho laws which have : een trice auccesafully in Mississippi, Alabama and many cities, and aro now deemed neccs* sary to the welfare of our own Staid. GEN. J. I>. KENNEDY FOR GOVERNOR Editor Intelligencer : Aa I have no axe to grind and am nc politician, being only a citizen of thc commonwealth, with tho good of om grand old Stnto at heart, allow me to cal attention to tho coming election of State officers, and to suggest to the considera lion of your many readers the name oft gentleman for the Gubernatorial Chair who will not only render the success o: the Democratic party aura on account o: his popularity throughout tho State, bul who will also graco the position by bi? talent and innate nobleness of mien anc character. I refer to our preaent Lieu tenant Governor, Gen. John D. K?nne' dy. I have known General Konnedy from his youth, when by means of his bril liant talents ho attracted the notice ol college faculty and students; I have ad mired his gallant bearing through thc late war when called Into field in defence of his country ; and since then al) have noticed bia manly course in political life, maintained without mingling in any ol tho schemes for pnrtisan advancement, which aro said to bavo been rife of late, and it seems to me that wo can elevate no one to the high position mentioned, who will take it with cleaner hands, or return the trust with a more unsullied record. We all know thal the political aud financial wolfare of our Stnto is depen dent upou the success of the Democratic pnrty next fall. Tho man who appreci ates the iuestimahlo value of the victory gained under Hampton, and who would, nevertheless, peril this victory by divi ding tho honest people of thc common wealth, deserves the execration of all good men ; hence wo must overlook mi nor differences of opinion, and put forth men who have the ability and experience to render the contest safo, and to carry our flag triumphant to the end. With BO many able and distinguished citizens on tho Bench and in other positions of trust, we can, I nm sure, find no one better fit ted to lead us than General Kennedy, whose intelligence, persuasive eloquence, and administrative ability wcro such im portant factors in tho success of the last campaign. A CITIZEN. - The oldest registered voter in the State is Wm. Aiken, who registered et B'?ekstock, Chester County. His age, according to his certif?calo, is 118 years. -.The farmers of Arkansas are suffer ing from a scries of disasters.

South Carolina University. Tho Board of Trustees of the South Carolina University, at their mec'ing tatt week, electe dthe gentlemen named below to the professor-hips indicated in the sketches, which are taken from the News and Oturier. These selections give promise of an efficient and useful insti tution of which South Carolina may -veli he proud : Rev. W. J. Alexander, professor of mental and moral philosophy and evi dences of ('hriftianity, i* a native of Georgia, and a graduate with fir?t hon ors of Mercer University in that State. Ile alno graduated at the Baptist Theo logical Seminary nt Greenville, S. C. He is about thirty-four years of age, and is patter of the Baptiot Church at Dar lington, S. C. He had previously been pastor of the Baptist Chureh at Edge field. He wai distinguished both at college and at the seminary for his re markable aptitude for mental and moral philosophy and logic, ile ia acknowl edged as one of the leading member* of bib denomination in this Slate, und bas won for himself nt Darlington the un qualified admiration nud esteem of peo ple of all clnssei. He has been pursuing persistently for years the course of study calculated to fit him for the chair to which he has Leen elected, nial han laid broad and de-.-p foundations of learning. His friends testify lo the purity of bin character, and hi-? manners ure well cal culated to make him very influential with young men. He is aleo a fine pul pit orator. Those who know him well confidently predict that the University will soon have reason to bc very proud of him. Professor E. L. Patton, elected to fill the chair of ancient languages, graduated with the first honor from tue South Car olina College in the class of 1810. Among thc other members of this class were Judge Mciver, Hon. \V. 15. Wilson of York and Dr. Wm. II. Huger of Char leston. Professor Pallor, itt a native South Carolinian, and is now professor of ancient languages ut Erskine College, Due Weat, S. U. He is very eminent a.i a scholar und n teacher, and in addition to his acquirements in Latin und Greek ho is a fine Hebrew Scholar, and is fa miliar with thc lending modern languages of Europe. His great success as a teach er is warrant that his instruction herc will be thorough and in accordance with the mont advanced methods. Prof. E. S. Joy nea, L. L. U., modern language*, is a native of Virginia. Ho graduated nt the University ol Virginia with tho degree of M. A. about tho yenr 185G. In college he had a reputation for marked ability as a Htudent, and after graduation he spent several yearn in Europo prosecuting his studies. Ho in prominently identified with the work of education in Virginia, and was professor of English literature nt Washington and Leo University during tho presidency of Gen. R. E. Lee. Ho is now professor of modern languages and English literature in the University of Tcnnessco, one of the most successful agricultural colleges in the South, an institution which owes its present efficiency to the wiso counsels and labors of Prof. Joynes. He is thc author of a series of leal books in French and German. Aa a Bcholar ho ranks among thc lending men of this country, and as an instructor be in without a su perior. Ho has been for two years past instructor in English at tho State Normal Instituten held ai Spartan burg and Green ville The largo audience of teachers and others interested in education who heard his eloquent and learned lectures will bo gratified to know that his valuable services will be permanently enlisted in tho promotion of higher education in South Carolina. Mr. John M. McBryde, professor of ngrieulture, is a native of Abbeville County, S. C., and waa nt ono time a student in the South Carolina College. From lhere he went to tho Virginia University, and was a student nt the lat ter institution when tho war commenced. During tho war ho served in tho army in a Virginia regiment. After the war he married and settled in AlbemarleCounty, Va., where he acquired a high standing as a scientific and practical fumier in one of the best facetious of that State. In 1879 ho was elected to the chair of agriculture, horticulture and botany in thc. University of Tennessee, where his management of his department has raised that chair to the front rank ol' agricultu ral colleges in this country. In addition to his practical knowledge as a farmer mid his learning ns a professor, he has special qualification? which enable him to excel in the class room. Ono of the most distinguished citizens of this State, and whoso reputation ns n practical plan ter ia recognized everywhere in South Carolina, recently remarked that Profes sor McBryde's reports were the rnost in structive nod pleasant agricultural read ing that he has enjoyed for ninny years. Mr. R. Means Davis, professor of his tory, political economy r.i;d constitution al law, in ono of thc most promising of thc young men who have grown to man hood nineo tho war. He is about 34 years of age and an editor of tho Winns boro' Neic? and Herald and the principal of the Mount Zion High School in Winnaboro', S. C. He graduated at tho University of South Carolina in 1869, and shortly afterwards moved to Califor nia, where he was successfully engaged in teaching for some years. He prac ticed law in Winnnboro' for a few years, and was also connected with 771? News and Courier for n while. It waa largely owing to bia energy and good judgment that the graded school in Winnsboro' was organized. This was the first at tempt iu South Carolina, outside of Charleston, to establish good graded schools, in which tho State tax is sup plemented by local taxaliou. Tho marked success which this school achieved under Mr. Davis's management contributed in a great measure to the adoption of the nnmo system in other towns of tho State. His name is thoroughly identified with tho public school work in South Caroli na. To a high talent and great personal magnetism, be adds energy and purity of character and zeal in bis chosen pro fession. The Civil Service Reform question. WASHINGTON, Moy 15. Senator Pendleton, in his report io advocacy of tho bill to regulate aud im Erove tho civil service reform of the Jnited States, which was reported to the senato on the 29>.h of March last, reviews at length the growth of thc government since its foundation, and the effect of this growth on the civil service. Referring U) what is characterized as the "?poils system" aud its effect upon the president, it mentions that instead of devoting hia time to great questions of statesmanship, he must spend most of it in weighing in the balance political cr. federations that shall determine the claim of this friend or that political supporter to the posses* sion of some office of profit or honor un der him. Tho president of tho republic which was created by tho constitution in the beginning of our national life and tho chief magistrate of to-day, it is maintained, aro two entirely different public functionaries. There lins grown up such perversion of the duties of the presidential office, such prostitution of it to ends unworthy of the great idea of its creation, imposing burdens so grievous and so degrading to all faculties and function becoming its occupant that a change, the committee think, has already occurred in the character of the govern ment itself which if not corrected will be permanent and disastrous. Personal attention to consideration which should control executive action in the disposition of patronage and in the selection of officials has Dccomo impossible, and polit ical control as a guide to such action is fraught with demoralisation and danger to the republic Without multiplying words the commltbeo say this mueh ts proved Uiat ra tho gwrwiu sod ox^uuak?
