Richardson will not Sign the Act of Acceptance. Correspondence of the New$ and Courier. Columbia, Pec. 25.?The. suusbine was reminiscent of the first glorious week of May as I sauntered .through its relax ing warmth up to the Executive Mansion at uoon this Christmas Day to interview Governor Richardson in regard to the fate of the Clemson College bill, passed by the Legislature several days ago. The Governor had, by constitutional right three days in which to sign the bill and make it a law. Those three days had expired at midnight last night, and as I had seen yesterday afternoon the biil put away carefully by itself in a big safe in the Executive office, while not yet bear? ing the Governor's autograph, I had a suspicion that some interesting facts could be brought out by a Christmas interview. So the. interview was Bought and obtained. "Governor,"' I asked, have you signed the Clemson bill ?" HE HAD NOT. "I have not signed it," replied the Governor laconically, but positively, as he watched the blue smoke curling up from the cigar which he held between his fingers. ? " . "You have not vetoed it, of course, since a veto message would have bad to be sent to the Legislature before its adjournment ?" I suggested. ' ? ? "No, I have not vetoed it," he said, "but I have taken a course in regard to the bill which is constitutional, and to my mind appears both. proper and expe? dient" Here the Governor took up a copy of the State, Constitution, neatly bound, and. referring to Section 22, of Article 8, read as follows:, "If a. bill or a joint resolution, shall not be returned by the Governor within three days after it shall have been pre-, sented to him, Sundays excepted, it shall have the same force and effect as if he had signed it, unless the General Assem? bly, by their adjournment, prevents its return, in which case it shall not have such, force and effect unless, returned within two days after their next meeting." : ''Now," added Governor Richardson, ;"theLegislature, by an adjournment be? fore the expiration of three days from the time at which the Clemson College bill was- presented to me, gives this clause importance. Under it'.tbe Governor has the right to withhold hia approval or dis? approval of a bill until the second day of the next meeting of the General Assem? bly.- I Intend to use my constitutional power and withhold action on the Clem? son bill until the Legislature meets again, and then I shall announce my final decis? ion in regard to it" "You consider, then, that that clause was intended to meet cases like the pres? ent?" ' - > ' A WISE PBOVISION. "Yes," said Governor Richardson, "it was evidently" designed to afford the :Governor;?,the\\ \amplest time . for the consideration of grave matters of .pro? priety andiexpediency in legislation../; I ?am :g6ing; to ayail myself of this right which has been declared by the Constitu? tion, for the. reason that the decision which has .been reached on the subject has been hasty and without that full discussion and consideration of all aspects of the case which an important question of this kind demands both from the people and their representatives." . "You are- in favor of an agricultural college, properly established and controll? ed, are you not, Governor ?" "So far as that is concerned," he replied, "my position ought to be well known, as I have announced it not only n the hustings, but in my last annual message. I have unequivocally advocated such an institution if the agriculturists of the State, deliberately desired it, but only on such a basis as would make it effectual and useful to those whose interests are 'concerned and conformit to the dignity and rights of. the State." A FEIEND OF ALL EDUCATION, "You may say," he added, "that I am ? an advocate of all the education possible, and especially of the education of the whites. We have a great burden to hear in reducing tb e illiteracy of a race foreign to . our own. AU extraneous aid is directed to the' benefit of that race, for whose enlightenment we . already tax ourselves heavily. Consequently any increase in the facilities; for educating the white youth of the State, addresses itself to my warmest approval and support, and it would-be the height of unwisdom on' our part to limit the facilities, for educating our;own race." ? "Might not these words of yours in favor of the education of the whites be turned against you by those who insist that the Clemson College is the one thing needful for the young men of tb e State ?" I then asked the Governor. His reply was prompt. "But the end desired must be attained in a proper way As I have said at various times, a.State Agricultural College does not depend on the acceptance of the Clemson bequest. The State is able to establish and main? tain such an institution if it shall be required. For the purpose of an agricul? tural college the Clemson bequest would be but a drop in the bncket compared with the aid which the State would have to give, and the disparity would only increase with'time." ?THE CONDITIONS OF ACCEPTANCE. "Will you state your views as to the conditions required for the acceptance of the bequest?" I l''The State," said the Governor, "being independent of this or any other bequest, is is unfortunate that the Clemson devise has been hampered by certain conditions which make the propriety of its acceptance at any time a matter of grave doubt, but to accept it at this time, when tbe trans? fer of the real estate has been especially forbidden by one of the highest Courts in the country, would place South Carolina in the unenviable position of opposing her sovereignty to the determination of the possible rights of a citizen by the Courts of the country, when there is no necessity for such haste, even by the terms of Mr. Clemson's will, which allows accept? ance to be made by the State within three years." . ""^ou don't consider, then, that delay, in this case, is dangerous ?" POSTPONEMENT ADVISABLE. "No," said Governor Richardson, "the postponement of a determination of the matter cannot result injuriously. It can* not affect hurtfully the cause of Miss Lee, the great grand daughter of the illustrious Calhouu, whose whole life was devcted to South Carolina, and who was one of the towering three who made the States of Massachusetts, Kentucky, and South Carolina so noted in American history. It could not detract from the rights of the States "even were there an imperative requirement that tbe devise should be accepted immediately since it has become a practical impossibility to act under tbe restraining order of the Court. That order renders it impracticable for tbe executor of Mr. Clemson to transfer tbe . real estate in litigation to the State r and the title to the real estate being in litiga? tion, he could not utilize the personalty in the erection of buildings or making improvements on land to which there is no title. Tbe only effect of the insignifi? cant appropriation proposed by the bill towards the establishment of an institu? tion such as has been designed would be to make South Carolina a party to the suit, and thus interpose her sovereignly against Miss Lee. some additional reasons. "Again, it is a serious question wheth? er the bill accepting this bequest does not change the conditions of the devise to such a degree as to prevent , its stand? ing the test of the Court. Mr. Clemson having specifically and perpetually a ratio of seven to six the number of trustees representing respectively himself and the State, this bill has provided that a two thirds vote shall be required for the exer? cise of the most important functions of the board. ' That is a very material change from the plan which Mr Clemson's will designated. - "Then there is another objection, which the people of the State should have the opportunity gravely to consider. It is the propriety of establishing an institu? tion of this kind under conditions which, if sustained by the Courts, would prevent its ever being genuinely and thoroughly a State college, as it would be given over to an irresponsible board of control. Then the hasty acceptance of the bequest would make the State of South Carolina a collector of bonds, notes and accounts for the Clemson estate. It would be. tbe decent, orderly plan to allow the executor himself to collect the assets of his estate, and this being done, and the finances of the estate settled, proffer its resources to the State.? / it might have been. "Freedom from the objections which I have stated to you would have made the acceptance of the. bequest.a matter of course. It would have been, gladly re? ceived by the whole people. But the objections are greet, and holding these views, and on the considerations "which I have stated to you, I have determined to avail myself of a constitutional right and hold* the Act until the next session, giving the people of South Carolina and myself ample time for the mature consideration of the proprieties and expediencies of the case. Haste, under the present circum? stances, is the most unwise course to adopt. We will know when the Legisla? ture next meets much more about the probable duration and result of the litiga? tion, and, as, . I have stated, the interests of neither party to the suit can be injured by the delay." ' ? the govebnor consistent. My interview ended here, and now that the notes are all transcribed it is in order to say that Governor Kichardoon has act? ed juat as he might have been expected to act by all those who heard his speeches in the preliminary canvass last summer and- read his annual message. He did not disguise, on the platform, and in the face of the strongest opposition, his ob? jections to auch a measure as that which the Honae and Senate have passed, and the litigation Bince has not, of course, commended the bill to his higher appro? val. He bore tbe brunt of the fight, and although opposed in the September con? vention by every influence which he had antagonized during the campaign, he was nominated for a second term. C SIM ES AND . CASUALTIES. Greenwood, S. 0., Dec. 26.?The sad news has just reached us of the sudden and violent death of Mr. John W. Fooshe, who. lived near Coronaca. Last night about 10 o'clock he heard some distur? bance among his horses. He and his son Eobert went out to see what was the mat? ter., Mr. Fooshe' opened.the stable door and the horses rushed out knocking him down and killing him instantly. Mr. Fooshe was about 70 years old, and was one of the most substantial citizens of the county. Walhalla, S. 0:, Dec. 30.?Yesterday afternoon Robert J, Campbell, formerly of Newberry county, but recently of Mis? sissippi, fell in the street with an epilep? tic fit. He was slightly bruised, but was soon able to'walk across the street to his room. Ho was accompanied by George W. Freeman, a white man, and Larken ? Webb, colored. About 8 o'clock Freeman reported that he believed Campbell was dying. Upon examination Campbell was found lying on his face with blood run? out of his mouth and ears. His neck was broken and his shoulder dislocated and badly bruised. The doctors testified that a fall from a chair, where Freeman and Webb claimed to have left bim, could not have broken his neck or dislo? cated his shoulder. A jury of inquest, after examining a number of witnesses brought in the following verdict: "That the said Robert J. Campbell came to his death in the house of Mr. Gurly, be? tween the hours of 5 and 8 o'clock on Saturday, December 29, by the hands of George W. Freeman and Larken Webb. Both men were committed to jail. Brunswick, Ga., Dec. 21.?The morn? ing News prints a curious story from Alapaha: As a southbound freight pulled up at Alapaha, on the Brunswick and Western road, the engineer and fireman were suddenly startled by the sound of a voice close to the engine, calling them to get off. The voice was one of com? mand, and as they peered over the side of the cab it was to look down tbe barrel of a Winchester rifle, firmly held to the shoulder of a man who evidently meant business. The men on the engine may have thought him drunk or crazy, but they felt satisfied it was no time to parley. They were told to git, and they did it. The man with the rifle stepped between the engine and first car, pulled out the coupling pin, and jumped into tbe cab, holding the rifle in one hand, while with the other he pulled wide the lever, and quick as lightning, sprang to the ground. The engine, freed from the train with a full head of steam, flew down tbe track towards Brunswick like a cannon ball shot down hill. Fortunately, tbe telegraph operator was in the office, and flashed the news over the wire, to see that the track was clear. On the wild horse of the rail sped its way, hissing and seething with? out the hand of its master, until with sheer exhaustion for want of fuel, it stopped seven or eight miles away. The man who did this is named L. 0. Smith. He was arrested, and has "been ^sent to the jail at Nashville. Further details' could not be obtained as to why Smith did this. Wichita, Kan., Dec. 19.?A school teacher of Andale, Thomas McConnelly, was terribly beaten and probably fatally injured to day in a fight with some of his pupils. The Board of Education en? gaged McConnelly temporarily, they say, for four months, but he claims that it was for eight. He was notified this morning that his four months would be up this week, and that he might consider him self at liberty. On opening school he referred to the dismissal before his pupils and bitterly denounced the school board. One of the pupils then called the teacher a liar, and upon the latter attempting to chastise him he was assailed on all Bides by boys armed with pieces of furniture. A pitched battle ensued, both sides hurl? ing all the furniture within reach. Finally McConnelly was felled by a blow on the head from a chair and was then pounced upon by his enemies, who beat him unmercifully. When rescued his skull was found to be fractured and one arm was broken. The neighborhood is worked up over the matter and further trouble may ensue. Lancaster, Fa., Dec. 29.?Burglars last night entered the residence of Ja? cob F. Warfe!, Millersville, carried a safe weighing over a thousand pounds to the rear yard and blew it open with dyna? mite, securing over six hundred dollars. Four persons and two dogs were in the house at the time the burglars were at work. PuYALLUP, W. T., Dec. 29.?The explosion of giant powder yesterday blew a cabin on the outskirts.of the town to pieces. James Blogg was killed and Leroy Gow was badly injnred. The men were engaged in clearing land and had the powder stored in the cabin. How it was exploded is a mystery, as Gow was too badly hurt to talk. Geneva, III., Dec. 25.?John M. Stil well was badly burned while imper? sonating Santa Claus in the Methodist church last night. As he was passing the .tree hiB cotton costume caught fire from a candle on the tree. Quite a panic ensued, women men and children run? ning,screaming, and jumping over the seats. Mr. Stillwell is reported this morning to be out of danger. Death of Rev. Dr. Boyce, ? Louisville, Zt., Dec. 28".?A cable? gram received this morning announces the death, at Pan, France, of the Bev. James Petigru Boyce, LL.D., D. D., President of the Sontheim Baptist Theo? logical Seminary in this city. He was 60 years old, and left here last August for a two years' trip to recruit his shat? tered health; He waB the founder-of the seminary and ono of the greatest leaders of American Baptist Convention, a trustee of the Slater Fund, and held many important, private and public trusts. He was born at Greenville, S. G., and his wife and three daughters accompanied him on his travels. The remains will, be brought here for inter? ment. " ? Governor Gordon, of Georgia, says the Macon Telegraph, sold hiB plantation near Butler, a few days ago to the Flint River Land and Live* Stock Company. The Company is composed of 'Northern capitalists, and they paid him $240,000. ? A Western statistician figures ont that the people of the United States spend more than $1,600,000 every year for chewing gum. ?
