The hearing fixed helore Judge Wu lace at (Jreeuville lust week, in the mu ter of certain taxpayers of Atiderso County asking an injunction against th collection of the taxes voled to the Si vanuah Valley Railroad, resulted in continuance of the temporary infundio grunted about two month ago. This wi! L-urry the case over to the June term <. Court for this County, when the matte wi!) be finally determined upon its mei it*. The Plaintiffs were represented b Messrs. Henel and Scudday, and th Railroad Defendant by Maj. U. F. Whit uer. The continuance of the injunctiui is a decided advantage to the Plaintiff though it is by no means decisive of th case. Fortunately for the Company, th greater part of the laxes which wouli have been affected by this suit havebeei paid, so that out of the original lift thousand dollars voted less than on thousand dollars is involved in th snit. The issues made do not, as ha been stated, involve the validity of th charier of the Company, but simply tb validity of the taxes voted under th charter. Hence, if the Plaintiffs sm recd, which, wc repeat, is by no mean assured, it will only lose the company th ono thousand dollars of unpaid taxe and will not in any way materially nftei tli<? completion of tho Road. MT Tl "A LL Y CONVICTED. Attorney General Brewster, it is stated bas written a letter to Kx-(?ov. Mau mn of this ?State, who was his classmate i College, that be does not desire th prosecution in ibis Stale of the eleclioi cascH, but that District Attorney Mello has assured the Department that th cases ought to be prosecuted, and tim conviction? can be bad in them. Thu it appears that Brewster blames Mello for the prosecutions, while it has heretc for? been slated that Melton blame Brewster, and claims that be is merci executing the unplcuMiut duty assigne bim by his superiors. Mr. Mellon lui not contradicted the published stntcmen that ho had urged these prosecution! Therefore, we have no trouble in reacli lng a conclusion Hint he is guilty. Mi Brewster has the control of the whol mat'er, and could easily in lunn h i meei as to the truo stale of afluir* to thes election cases. He knows that jurie have been packed to secure cunvictioni li e knows men have been, and b'ill an hiing dragged from their homes on th p.-rjtired evidence o! unprincipled vii lu inn. Despite this knowledge he '.ctn go ou, and employs several vindictiv malicious haters of our people to te MI iu these prosecutions. Therefore .-. e ai foiTil to the conclusion that Mr. Ure? uter slater untruly when ho .nays that li does not syuipnibize with these infamot prosecutions. He and Mellon aro ev dently both engaged in the most congi nial work. The Greeubnckers aro t furnish the evidence, and the Depar roent of Juntice undertaken to enforc convictions. We apprehend that th course will not gain any respectobl lilies, either in or out of the Slate, fi the Republican party, or its little allic the Grcenbuckers. ?.RT i>? HAVtt A COLLEGE. lu various sections of the State we ol serve that successful efihrts have bee made to establish Colleges, or Academu ofu high grade of learning, and woul like to ?ne Anderdon bestowing som attention to this important subject. W have here the buildings necessary fi lecture-rooms, aud atso a boarding bout capable of accommodating over one bur dred students, al! of which belongs t the Carolina Collegiate Institute Assoc' otion. If a College or University of high order should be established, tb boarding bouse could be no managed o to give the roost reasonable rates c board, and offer such inducements a would attract to Andersou a large nuis ber of young men avery year. Thi would, of course, bring the amount o their board, tuition fees, current capen ses and clothing annually to be spen here among our business men. It wurdi be a considerable addition to the impoi tance and prosperity of Anderson. Hav ing tho buildings already erected, th amount of money necessary to start i College would be considerably less thai to begin anew. By raising five thousaui dollars a year we could begin with fou professors of good abilities, and gra?u ally increase the dimensions of the insti tution, if it prospered as we would hopi t> nee it. It seems tous that a systen of scholarships might be devised, bj which tbifi sum could be secured annu ully for five or ten years, without anj great burden to the parties giving schol an hip?. Fifty men agreeing to pay on? huudred dollars a year, or one h und rec men agreeing lo pay fifty dollars, or twe hundred agreeing to pay twenty-five doh lars, would raise the necessary sum. Ai an inducement to subscribe the person holding a scholarship might be guaran teed free tuition for such number of som as hi? payment would entitle him. An dersou is a1 place of sufficient important* to render a College almost necessary, and with the advantages we possess, wc ought to he able without delay to estab lish an institution which would be alike creditable and profitable to our city. DEATH Ol' DB. HOWS. Rev. George Howe, D. D., L. L. D., died at bis residence in Columbia, on leal Sunday afternoon, from the effects of a fracture of bia leg, caused by being thrown from his carriage two weeks ago. Dr. How? was born.ai Dcdbam, Mas sachusetts, November G, 1802, sod was descended from one of the Pilgrim Fathers. He removed with his father at twelve years of age to Holmesburg, Pennsylvania, whero he went to school. Accompanying his instructor to Phila delphia, ho continued his studies there, afterwards attending Middleburg Cot lejje, Vermont? where ba graduated at ?he age of twenty. Neat attending An r dorer Seminary be graduated, and re ceived llic Abbott MelKjlnr.^lnj> for excel* lenee in studies. At twenty-five be be came Phillips professor of theology at Dartmouth College, .New Hampshire, ami there lived three years, Being threatened with consumption he came South for his health. He reached Charleston ir December, 1830. The Theological Seminary at Columbia had shortly before been organized. l?r. Howe was offered al the fame limo the pastorate of the Scotch Church in Charleston, and the position of teacher of Hebrew and Creek at the Seminary. He accepted the hitter oiler, and his con nection with the Seminary began ill January, 1831, In the autumn of that j year he was elected by tho Synod to a professorship in the Seminary. Hi? con nection with thal institution has re mained unbroken ever since. In Novem ber, 1881, tin1 semi .centennial of his pro fessorship was held in Columbia. At the time of his death he was professor of Iiiblical Literature and chairman of the faculty. Hr. Howe wan one of lite most emi nent and greatly beloved and respected of the Presbyterian Divines in South Carolina, iii? decease will be regretted not only by his personal friends, but also by the people of the whole State. AN I NKOIITI'NATK DKCI8ION. The determination of the State Hoard ol Agriculture not to have our State rep resented at either tho Huston or the Louisville Exposition this Kail is, in mir opinion, a very grave mistake. The Bos ton Exposition will be ii great altair, nt w\ fell the manufacturers and the agri en, uri-ts of the world will exhibit theil pr? luctrt, and people from ail parts ol this country and Europe will visit it foi the purpose of ?eel: g what is most won dcrful in the various departments ol human skill and industry. The peoph who go there will be thc intelligent, well to-do, progressive men of the age, ant from what they see there, they will judgi in a large measure of the merits of tin Various sections of America, lt ia un fortunate that South Carolina is not U have a place in this picture. We cai ?how the finest specimens of phosphati and kaolin to be fourni in the world with a fair display of other minerals < )ur Sea Island cotton and rice are in comparably heller than those of an; other country, while our corn, wheat oats, barley, rye, up land cotton am fruits, ure the equal of any in the coun try. In addition to this, it is desirabl to show samples of our manufacture! with a statement of the profits that hav been derived from them. Also, ou numberless water powers should be prc claimed, and the fact made known thu fuel for factories can be obtained i South Carolina considerably cheap* than in New England. Thc rnugo < our products, extending from the vern tropical fruits nnd products to the grair and fruits of the far North, presents ma teni of such interest to those who arene acquainted with our wonderful clima and resources, that their advertisemet could not do otherwise than result i great advantago to the Stale. Soul Carolina has all along been too ?low proclaiming her wonderful gifts from tl lavish hand of nature, and this action the Hoard of Agriculture seems to ind cate n continuous of the old policy, is not progressive. As to tho stateme that the Hoard doubt their authority spend ibo necessary money, we til?i their doubts come too lute. They spe two thousand dollars in tho exhibit Atlautu last year, which wa? not near important to tho State, and no queath was ever made by any one of the pi priety of such expenditure. They DI have the unquestioned precedent, whi should settle the power to make the e ( hibit. In the next place, we think th the Hoard would do well lo cu ri ail soi of its enterprises sufficiently to make t exhibit. They now have, it is said, $2. OOO, of which they have contracted ; obligation of fifteen thousand dollars I ibo purchase of Parker's block, one-hi of which, however, ia not payable un next year. They have, therefore, fore penditure this year from ten tn sevc tecu thousand dollars, and we trust iii . a portion of this sum may be yet giv to exhibiting to the world Ibo ad van tar for agriculture, manufacturing and ott industries, which abound iu South Cai lina. THC GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA. The Democratic State Conveiitit which met in Atlanta on Tuesday, t lOtb inst., to nominate a candidate : Governor of Georgia to succeed the li Governor Stephens, resulted in a surpr to politicians on both sides of the riv The race was thought to be between a ing Governor Boynton and Hon. A. Bacon, the Speaker of the House Representatives. It was bitter butwe the advocate; of these gentletm and the friends of other distinguish men of Georgia meutk them compromise candidates, b ? was gen ally believed that either Bacon or Boj ton would he nominated, with chant rather favoring the latter. The bal opened on Tuesday as follows: A. Bacon, 145 ; J. S. Boynton, 139 ; H. McDaniel, 36; Phillip Cook, 14; a T. J. Simmons, 6. Necessary to a choi 176. Five ballots were bad on Tuesd without material change. On Wedn day seventeen ballots were bad, the 1 of which slr od Bacon, loo ; Boy ott 148; McDaniel, 31; Cook, 15. < Thursday a committee of oonferen consisting of six Boynton, six Baot four McDaniel and two Cook men, w appointed. The conference committ after various efforts to reach a soluti as between the two leading candida! agreed to recommend the nomination Mr. McDaniel, and the report of I committee was unanimously adopted, that the Hon. Henry D. McDaniel a hs the next Governor of Georgia. The following ia a sketch of the nc inee : Mr. McDaniel is a native of Wal County, Georgia. The moat of bia ' before manhood, bowtvor, waa spent Atlanta. His father waa a mao of Iii ted means. Young McDaniel, howe* through perseverance and laudable arr tioo, worked his way into Mercer ( lege, theo situated in Penfield, Georj Ho graduated with the first honor of elasa. After graduating he atudied law l located In Monroe, Walton County, practice bis profession. Ho baa, rej sauted consecutively Wallon County i the Twenty-seventy Senatorial Disti in which said county i? located, for a space of ten year?, McDaniel alto represented Walton County in the Convention of 1861, being the youngest me tuber thereof. He was ono of tho committee who framed the present ?Senatorial districts of the State, hoing a position then of importance ami responsibility. He entered the army in Hie Klevenlh (ieorgia Regiment. Ill 1802, by hi? gentlemanly hearing and thoroughness as a young soldier, he waa elected its major. He wan severely wounded iu the abdomen -the minnie ball still being iu him now -in July, 18?tf, on his retreat through Maryland from t'eltysburg, be ing in command of his regiment, ile wu? taken u prisoner and spent five months in hospitals in Maryland and i'enusylvania, and the remainder of tho war ai Johnson's Islam!. After the clouds of one of the blood iest civil wars the world ever faw had well nigh blown over, ho was elected by his people a member of the Convention of 18i?5. After tho crucial test of war had been applied to him his people ?lill found him to be of thc right metal, und one lo whom they could entrust their best and dearest interest. The rei in struction act disfranchised him, but !?? still took an active part in all Democratic councils ?nd ull elections, and stood firm to true Southern spirit, and fought well all along the line up to 1872, when the ?<-t of Congress of 1872 removed his disabilities and thc disabilities of all leading Southern men. He was immediately elected to the House of Representatives from Walton County. Mcllaoiel was a leading spirit in all financial legislation while he was in the House und Senate. He bad charge of the 8 per cent, loan, which re deemed the credit of thc Stute. Ho was the author of the railroad tax bill in 1874, by which nil of the railroads were made to bear their part of the tax es of the Stale-was the author of the first bill that taxed banks. Ho was the author of the Act of 1875, causing the landlord's lien for supplies to arise by operation of law, without a written con tract. He was thc author of the Home stead Act of 187G, adjusting the equities between parties, after the illegal sp.le of homesteads. This Act barred minors, as well as persons mi juris, after six months. FROJKCTKO FACTORIES. There are at the present time numer ous cotton factories projected in South Carolina, and from the interest manifest ed iu this enterprise by the people of tho Stutc, it '? more than probable that at a very early period in the future South Carolina will not only be the manufac turing center of the South, but also of tbc United States. From one copy of the Acic.? and Courier we clip tho follow ing notice* of new factories which are likely to be completed very soon : Tho Columbia correspondent, writing under date of April 13th, says : Col. R. L. McCaughrin and Mr. (toorgo S. Mower, of Newberry, reached Columbia to-night on their return from a ten dava' trip North in the interest of proposed Newberry cotton mills. They went as far North as Maine, not prima rily to secure subscriptions, but to get from prominent mill architects an esti mate of the cost of tho works. It was estimated that from 9176,000 to $190.000 would build a cloth mill of $10,000 spindles capacity and furnish it with o,000 spindles and the necessary accom paniment of looms. Over 9100,000 has already been subscribed in Newberry, and Col. McCaughrin has assurances that if $25,000 moro eau bo raised in that town be can obtain thc remainder of the subscriptions elsewhere. Of thin there is very little doubt. The object is to build the mill and start with 5,000 spindles, and when this beginning ia made to increase tho stock to $100,000 and fill the mill with the full comple ment of 10,000 spindles. Col McCaugh rin finds that Newberry can now get Pennsylvania coal by way of Charleston as cheap, or cheaper than Providence or or other New England manufacturing cities now get it. The Georgia Pacific Railroad bonds were placed tba other day, and the completion of the road is thus assured. When it le finished next faii, South Carolina can obtain coal much cheaper than New England. The New berry mills are assured. A Darlington correspondent says : At a meeting at the courthouse, a few nights ago, steps were taken to build a cotton factory at this place at no distant day. A committee of ten waa appointed ) to solicit subscriptions. It is proposed to start operations with a capital of $100 [ 000. Nearly if not quite half the amount has been already raised in town. Everybody, old and young, of all trades f and professions, is enthusiastic on the I subject. A correspondent from the little town of Prosperity says: A prominent citizen of Newberry says t that so soon as the people see the New i berry Cotton Mill in good running order , they will build another mill at Prosperi ty. The Newberry Mill ought to begin ? work soon. Our Saah end Siled Factory . has begun work. The people here are giving more attention to business, and work together with m jr-) unanimity since the barrooms were closed. We must build up factories in order to keep our ' enterprising young men employed and 1 draw population. There is too much of ? the spirit of land greed and too little at , tention given to manufactures. The College at P'ckens. PICK ENS, April 10.-The Pickens In stitute was completed a few days since. r It is a large and commodious building. An average of one hundred student? are in attendance, and the number is daily i increasing. Prof. Wm. M. McCaa?an, with competent and well-trained assist ants, is doing fine work in our midit. Everything indicates tbat our institution will be one of the best in the State at no distant day. Friday, the 20th of April, has been selected as the day on which the formal laying of the corner-stone will take place. Governor Thompson and Col. Coward, State Superintendent of Educa tion, are expected to be present and par ticipate in tue ceremonies. The oration of the day will be delivered by the Rev. Dr. Grier, president of Erskine College. Every preparation is being made to make the occasion a grand success. Many distinguished visitors will be present, ?ad ; the day promises to be the greatest our County baa witnessed in a long time.

Tlie Columbia correspondent of thu Newt and Courier give* the detail- of a swindle that has been perpetrated upon the people of Ob et ter a* follows : I have been furnished with facts which reveal the meaning of the arrest of the president of the Chrstcr Oil Mills for robbing his (?wu mill. W. J. McDer mott is a Canadian by birth and was for merly the captain of a Mississippi Itiver steamer. Ile went to Chester from Memphis when the Chester Oil Mill pro ject was in its incipiency, and represent ed hiimtelf as the heud of thc linn of W. J. Dermotl & Co., of .Memphis manufac turer.- of cotton seed oil mill machinery. He obtained tho contract for supplying the new mill with machinery at a cost of over $2.'l,000. He had previously fur nished with machinery a mill at Haw kinsville, Ga. Ho remained in Chester and gaiued thc confidence ot the stock holders so thoroughly that he succeeded in getting himself elected president of the company. He had :?6.000 in stock of the mill, which is believed to have been received by him in part payment of his ontruct. The mill begun operations and McDermott worked up a boom fur it by representing through a publication in the Charlotte Journal that it was making twenty-five percent, profit, while in truth it nus losing money under his manage ment. A Her awhile a Mr. Milburn, of Memphis, president of the Milburn Iron Works, visited Chester and entered suit against McDermott for $18,600 due Liim on the machinery with which the Haw kinsville and Chester mills had been supplied. Milburn employed McDer mott to introduce the 'Machinery, and McDermott collected tho money aud kept it, representing to the purchasers that he was the real manufacturer. And then it leaked out thai the mill, which McDermott had represented as a 20-ton mill, turning out UGO gallons of oil daily, could only turn out 300 gallons a day. He cheated not ouly Milburn hut the stockholders who, of course, knew noth ing of oil mills. They further ascertain ed that McDermott bad sold the machin ery at double tho market price; that is, its capacity was half what was guaran teed. The elevator, for instance, which McDermott bought for $275 he sold to the company for $675, and in other details the swindle was the sume. The 1 company requested McDermott to resign, and his resignation was to date from midnight on Saturday, the 7th instant, llefore day on Sunday morning thu watchman of the mill discovered McDer mott removing the patented valves with out which the oil presses could not be operated. He was arrested for this offence, as stated in the county papers, and held fur grand larceny, the vulves having been secreted and being valued at $400. Ou the noxt day (Monday) he was also taken with a bail writ for $2,000 damages done to thc mill. He failed to f;ivo bail, and was put in jail, but on the ollowing day, by lodging securities in the band of certain gentlemen he suc ceeded in bailing himself and departed foribwith from Cheater. McDermott is evidently a thorough rascal. Six days after be was elected president of the mill he transferred all but one share of bis $6,000 in stock to a man in Georgia. This stock Mr. Milburn endeavored to bavo held for his debt, and it was then discovered that McDermott had outwit ted bim. When decapitated, McDer mott essayed revenge on the company by stealing and destroying the machinery. The people of Chester have bad a sad experience with this bustling stranger, but the stockholders are not as badly od as they might have been bad he remain ed with them a little longer. The mill, honestly conducted, will doubtless be a paying concern. It in non in good bauds, aud this result is to bo hoped for. Mr. Crowley Annoyed. BUFFALO, April H.-The Hon. Rich ard Crowley was asked by a reporter to day to give his reasons for withdrawing from the prosecution of the South Caro lina election fraud cases, bia withdrawal having caused unfavorable comment con cerning his relations with President Arthur's administration. In response he snid : "I asked to be excused from serv ing in tho ie cases because my duties require my presence here. Mr. Movins, my partner, bas been sick and kept at borne for some weeks, and is not likely to be able to attend to buBinesr for two or three weeks to rome. Mr. Wilcox, the junior member of the firm, was una ble to attend to all the business that de manded attention. As attorneys fur the West Shore Railway we have had to buy the right of way through three Counties and in this city. There aro claims to adjust and commissions to look after. This being tho Btate of affairs, I felt it my duty to relinquish the South Care lina cases. The West Shore Company had a prior claim upon me, and for that reason I came back, to look after its affaira. "There are a variety of rumors in the papers, and many of them, as you can imagine, are extremely annoying. My relations with the Department of Justice are, and have always been., of the pleas antest character, i he statement is made that the Attorney General reduced my bill in the Lee and Hall cases. This is not so. The bill was a fair and reasona ble one." Mr. Crowley then read to the reporter a portion of a letter received from the Attorney General, in which the latter expressed his deep regret at Mr. Crow ley's inability to act in tbe caaes. The letter waa couched in the most cordial and friendly terms. "In regard to my relations with Mr. Arthur," added Mr. Crowley, "I can only say 'bat they are as they have been, of tho pleasantest na ture. I have known President Arthur since Januarv, 1861, and our friendship has been uninterrupted." "How far past does your legal connec tion with the West Shore extend?" "Practically from Buffalo to Jersey City. While our firm are the attorneys for the company in Erie and Monroe Counties, we are liable to be called upon at auy time in connection with matters on any point of the ?ice of the road. I may add," said Mr. Crowley, with a smile, "that our connection with the West Shore Company is probably a mat ter of several years' duration, and is worth more to me iban this other matter could have been." - The movement in favor of biennial sessions, of legislatures appears to bo spreading in New England. Massachu Botta has taken the first step In favor of ouch an amendment to its constitution, aud a committee in the Connection', leg islsture has reported in favor of a simi lar proposition. AD attempt to bring about this resol t was defeated in the lat ter Sute a few years ago. The proposi tion was submitted to the people sod wss negatived by a large vote. There is no evident reason to think that the people have changed their minds on the subject. While other New England States are moving toward biennial sessions, Rhode Island still clings to two sessions a year. - Three years ago J. W. Wood placed SOO yoong carp in his two pou da near this city, the fish being from three fourths of sn inch to an inch long and of the "scale carp" variety. Yesterday the oonda wero drawn offend eighty-four full grown carp found, averaging five pounds in waight, toa largest being twenty-five inches long and weighing six I and a half pounds, wnile the smallest weighed four pounds.

NEW OKI.I:ANS, April l i - lu the United Stales Circuit Court today, Judge Hillings presiding, District Attor ney Leonard moved the court to assign the balance of the election cases now pending for trial. Judge Hillings replied that the esses had drawn against Iiis time considerably and that other business of thc court had to he neglected oil that account. He gave a history of the cases tried and the enormous amount of labor and lime that was consumed iu the trials and legal exceptions and objections. He had no objection to assigning the cases but he stated that ho would not try them. In other words, another judge would have to sit. The impression prevails here that Justice Wood, of the Supreme Court, will preside it the Department of Justice desires the trials tu proceed. - Abbeville puts in a bid for the Car olina, Cumberland (?ap and Chicago Railroad shops. The I'rct* ami ?tanner says: "Abbeville is a larger town, nearer the center, and in every way more en titled to it than Aiken. Let our people see to it that Abbeville luis at least a chance to compete for the shops ol the new road. We cnn well lilford to give the company much more, than Aiken proposes to give."
