COLUMBIA. Sunday Morning, February 25,1868. Uni-reMlty of Soutli Carolina. The surest and speediest -way of rehabilitatisig this city is the building up of the University in "its midst. Columbia has every natural advantage requisite to make it a university town _railroad facilities, beauty of scene? ry, and healthiness of location. The University, however, in its. present state, can do little towards the end we have in view. It must be en? larged. In addition to its literary and scientific schools, it should have a law school, a theological school, and a medical school. A law school is a great desideratum in the State. There is no such thing within it 3 bounds. A theological school, independent of creeds, pro? posing as its object the laying of a foundation for a dogmatic course in sectarian schools, would supply an? other want The need of a medical school is almost as great, and the advantages for the establishment of such a school are innumerable. Free negroes and the artisans from the manufactories with which the middle and up country must, ere long, be filled, will crowd the hospitals, thus placing a quantity of clinical mate? rial within easy reach. The Medical College of Charleston "would not be in the way. About two hundred students are usually in attendance at the CharlestonjCollege. It would be easy to attract these and many more to Columbia, by opening under the wing of the University a medical school, and entrusting it to proper hands. All the schools together would bring to the town not less than half a thousand students, and with tho^e students no small amount of money. Columbia would derive both profit and importance from such an addition to her population; and our citizens will fling away a splendid chance if, with this prospect before them, they do not use every effort to fnrther the scheme which we propose. Of course, we have other reasons than the above material one for de? siring the establishment of these schools. But we have advocated the step from a merely abilitarian point of view alone, because the other arguments in its favor are so obvions as to render it unnecessary that we should dwell upon them. Letter from Hon. B. V. Perry. We publish this morning a letter Hon. B. F. Perry, United States Se? nator from South Carolina. It is a calm and dispassionate review of the political situation with regard to the policy of the restoration of the States lately in rebellion against the United States Government, and Iiis views expressed through the columns of the National Intelligencer, the paper having the confidence of the Presi? dent of the United States, must have weight and importance. He has done right-done what no other Senator has done-given the true position of the State who con? ferred upon him her highest honor, and we have no doubt but his letter will have its due effect in all the States of the Union where the adherence to the Constitution and the laws forms the ground-work of their govern? ment. He has nobly vindicated South Carolina, and whilst a con? sistent and sincere friend of the Union through all the assaults made upon it by his State, he unequivocally gives his testimony to tho sincerity and patriotism of her people. Such a document, from such a man, cannot fail to have its just weight and influ? ence in every State in the Union. We had the pleasure of meeting Senator Perry on Friday evening, on his return from Washington; he was on hus way home, and left ye? Aerday morning. He is quite hopeful, and agrees with us that Andrew Johnson is master of the position. He be Heves that, ere long, the Southern representation in beth Houses of Congress wiH be admitted to their rightful position in the councils of the nation, and that through the firmness of the President, his patri? otism and adhesion to the Constitu? tion and the laws of the country, the radicals will be utterly defeated and routed. He gave us more hope than anything we have yet read or heard. The Memphis Tribune has a long article on the administration of affairs in that city. It calls loudly for some action on the part of the Legislature which may give better security to life and property. The Hlghoat Authority. A despatch to the XewYork Herald gives us an item of importance, in a recent decision of the United States Supreme Court During the late war, all cases from t?e rebellious States were laid aside by the court; but now, tbe rebellion being terminated, it was proposed to resume considera? tion of such cases, and on this ques? tion all the Associate Justices voted in the affirmative, Chief Justice Chase alone dissenting. This decision is in effect a legal endorsement by the highest judicial tribunal of the re? public of President Johnson's posi? tion that the lately rebellious State? now occupy their former position in the Union, have not, according to the ultra radical theory, fallen back to the territorial condition. THE NATIONAL FINANCE.-Business at the North hesitates, while the financial policy of the Government remains unsettled. It is urged in "Washington that action upon the funding bill be taken, and that the revenue will be' ample for all pur? poses, and allow a large sinking fund, if the financial scheme of the" inter? nal revenue committee be adopted. The amouut desirable hy the scheme is estimated at $500,000,000. If such is the fact, it is a heavier tax upon the people, but, if admitted, the South must be supplied with currency, if crops of staples are to be made and moved. The limit to the national currency of 300,000,000 is nearly reached, but it is considered quite certain that Congress will authorize an extension of the limit so far as may be necessary for the circulation of the South. _ _ TEK FUNERAL OF GEN. ELLIOTT. The Charleston papers state that there was a large and respectable nttend auce of grief-stricken individuals at St. Michael's Church, on the 23d, to witness the funeral ceremonies per? formed on the body of the late Gen. Stephen Elliott. The funeral services were feelingly read by tho Rev. Paul Keith. The body of the General will be taken to Beaufort, S. C., where it will bo deposited in the family burial ground. ?. TAE NAVAL RACE.-The great naval race between the steamers "Winooski and Algonquin, of which so much has been written md said, came off on Long Island Sound last week. The result was in favor of the Winooski, she beating her competitor so badly that it was decided not to run the entire distance. The object of the race was to test the merits of the engines, which are constrncted on different principles. RUSSIA AND THE UNITED STATES. The Moscow Gazette gives a descrip? tion of a banquet given by the mer? chants of that city to the American Legation, in honor of the arrival of Gen. Clay, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States of America. It speaks with great enthusiasm of the toasts drank to the Emperor Alexander, to the President of the United States, and to the continuance of good feel ing'between Russia and the American republic. ACCIDENTAL DEATH.-We leam that Mr. J. M. Terry, of this place, was accidentally killed at the Iron Works, at Hurricane Shoals, on Friday last. The pistol of Mr. Terry fell from his person while stooping, and being dis? charged by the fall, the ball passed through his head, killing him instant? ly.-Spartanburg Express. The Union Convention of Tennes? see adjourned on the 23d, after the passage of a resolution declaring that the p*eople of Tennessee are excluded from the benefit? of the Union un? justly, and heartily endorse the Pre? sident's policy, especially the recent veto. When our civil war began, or a little later, many Americans convert? ed their property into gold, und sent it to England. The amount "of mo? ney thus thrown into English busi? ness is variously estimated-the high? est figures being $500,000,000, and the lowest $300,000,000. THE CHOLEKA.- The subject of the cholera is claiming the attention of the New York authorities. Like every other measure in that city in which officials are interested, it is made a lever of political plunder and power. The politicians squabble and the people suffer. The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger says: "Your whiskey dealers and manufacturers may set it down as certain that there will be no reduction in tho tax upon that article, as suggested in the report of the Tax Commission." Mr. W. J. Jacobi, for the past thirty-five years a resident of Charles? ton, died on the 21st instant, in the sixty-sixth year of his age. The Italian nuns and monks art; petitioning Louis Napoleon against tlie abolition of their convents. From an Occas io ni*i Correspondent. WASHINGTON, D. C., February 17, 1866. ' EOITOBS PHONIX: An interval of leisure in tho midst of pressing bus i nc H s duties, allows mo to gossip with your readers a little while about men and things in the national metropolis. During the past ten days, I have from time to time boen observ? ing, with admiring eyes, the colossal pro portions and agile performances of thc great Nack elephant now on exhibition daily at tho Capitol, under tho special charge of Messrs. Sumnor and Wilson, with their assistant ring-masters. It is a good show, and a cheap one, too, and no unfair dis? criminations are made in it against the Caucasian race, as in the shows before th< war, when colored persona wero admit toe for half price. Hore, all are equal. Jona* than and Cuffee, and Jonathan's lady and Cuffte's lady, sit side by side in thc samt gallery, and thc, great American caglt (once said to be of tho grey species, bu now, moulting his feathers and coming oii I black,) looks down and spreads his wing; approvingly over the happy display d' "liberty, equality and fraternity." I wat in the Senate Chamber, a few days since listening to tho able and brilliant argument of Reverdy Johnson against tho pre??se^ amendment of thc Constitution, and cut riosity lcd mo to observo its effect upon th} many "American citizens of African ds j scent" who thronged the galleries. Ove? come, either by the eloquent utterances cf the speaker or the somnolent influences of I the warra atmosphere and comfortably ! cushions winch they were enjoying, the! were, for the most part, profoundly asleep] and dreaming probably of the past joys ol the corn-shucking or "the Saturday night frolic; for evidently most of them were of recent importation from*tho corn-field. Bancroft's commemorative oration on the lato President Lincoln was one of the great events of the past'week. Not having been fortunato enough to receive a ticket of in? vitation, I was "outside in thc cold," and can give no description of the occasion. I understand that tho Representative Hall was densely crowdo'l- indeed, many who had tickets of admission, found that, like the Southern members, they had only th? right to enter, without being ablo to exer? cise that right. The oration was sold through thc streets, at ten cents per copy, before its delivery commenced, and man; thousands wore reading it at their fire-sides whilst it was being delivered by tho orator. It is, of course, an able and well-written oration, for it could not otherwise bc thc production of thc pen of Mr. Bancroft; bm it is very much like the play of Hamlet, with tho character cf Hamlet left ou;.. It has less of Mr. Lincoln than of anything else in it. Several of thc foreign Ministen have taken offence at its disparaging allu sions to their Governments or loading men The English Minister loft at its closo with out speaking to Mr. Bancroft, and subse quently withdrew an acceptance of an in vitation to dinner, when ho learned that i was to bc given in honor of Mr. B. Tb? Austrian .Minister called on Mr. Sewari and expressed his dissatisfaction, but ob taming no concession, left in an ill humor And the Minister of the Mexican Republic having forgotten his card of invitation and being refused admittance without it fot mad and went home. What a muss t is a very pretty quarrel as it stands, am so I will leave it. Mr. Bancroft's oratioa is conservative, s far as he expresses himself relative to poli tics, and I heard him say to Governo Perry, at the President's reception, oi Tuesday night, "I want aU the people i South Carolina to understand, that whils I have been in favor of abolition, yet I ai utterly opposed to confiscation or any othe harsh measures against tho South, an. desire earnestly the immediate admissio of the Southern Senators and member* and the full restoration of the Souther States to thc Union." Governor Perry has been herc for som time, closing up the attaint of his Prov sional Governorship. He has placed h: credentials in tho bauds of Senator Revet dy Johnson for presentation, Ho expect to leave for home in a fow days, but learned from Judge Patterson to-day tin the Governor will be siimmoned to appen before the Reconstruction Committee o Monday, and will probably be kept hei for some days on that account. A moi able and well written article on reconstru? tion appeared over his signature in th morning's Intelligencer, and has been tl subject, to-day, of many very complimen arv remarks by conservative men, as wc from the North as tho South. General Robert E. Lee arrived here la; night, having been summoned to testi: before tho Reconstruction Committee. H Eresence creates quite a sensation, and tl ighest regard is expressed for the gre: and glorious man, who so well deservei though ho could not achieve, success. Fred. Douglas lectured iu one of tl Presbyterian Churches here on Tuesdi night, on "assassination and its lessons to a crowded audience. Chief Justi Chase, and Judges Kelly and Wilmot (1 of the proviso) graced the occasion wi! their presence, and assisted in tho cer monies of the ovening-Be gustibus m ' est, dee. Tho affair is understood to ha been gotten up for tho purpose of givii significance and endorsement to tho la impertinent visit of Fred, and some oth darkies to President Johnson, or to consc Fred, for thc utter failure of his attem to worry the President, and for tho gent? rebuff' which ho received at his hand The President has been heard to say, th - his patience and temper were uover so s vorely tried as upon this occasion. Tho ?iresent, speak in high terms of tho oxci ent command over himself which he mai fested, and the ability with which ho foil the purposes of those whoso cats-paws t delegation were. The lecture has had t unfortunate effect of dividing, r.nd m destroy the church in whoso house worship, by consent of tho pastor, but n of his people, it was delivered. A gontl man told me that ono member had abroa loft the church, whoso annual contril t ions was over $1,000. I saw to-day, at tho President's Hopi the lovely and accomplished wife of Sei: tor Clay", whose husband has been J nearly a year confined in Fortress Monrc upon an unfounded and unjust charge complicity in tho assassination of Pre dent Lincolu. She is here to intercede wi the President in behalf of her busbar Sh? ie one of the most intellectual a charming women in the world, and if t President can resist her fervent and e 1 qnent appeals in behalf of her loved oi he is matte of sterner stuff than most tat Her interview with the President was o of the most beautiful and touehing seer i1 ever witnessed, and would make a p turo equal to that of Jennie Deans ben the Queen. At its close, the Presid? handed lier a document, which, from 1 bright and happy smile, when she receh it, I hope contained good nows for her a her husband. She was at Fortress Mom and saw lier husband about two wet since; and also saw, but did not have 1 privilege of speaking to, President Da^ Slie describes him as looking very mr enfeebled aud broken down. Tho President's reception, on Tuest night, was attended by about 2,000perso half of whom were ladies. Amongst 1 celebrities, there were Mr. Bancroft, G Hanks, Secretary Mcculloch and Mr. R ti meed. The di??t?y of dress and jewelry was not at all striking, bat I suppose the ladies were afraid to wear their host, lest in the crowd their dresses might be torn and their jewelry stolen. One of tho most brilliant and best dressed ladies I saw there, was Mrs. Sae P. King, who was es? corted by Governor Perry. I learned, 'to-day, that the Tennessee delegation will shortly be received, and it is thought that this is the entering wedge to further conciliating action. I know that the President is very hopeful of an early and satisfactory adjustment of pre? sent issues, and expects confidently to see all the Southern members in their places before the close of tho present session. Col. C. J. Elford, of Greenville, is hore, endeavoring to obtain the favorable aud final action of tho President in relation to the pardons from South Carolina, not here? tofore acted upon. He had a large number of cases in his charge as attorney, and being informed by a distinguished gentle? man of Washington, that (tases in which pardons had not beon granted, were re? garded, in the present state of things, to be in great peril, and should have immedi? ate attention, he obtained the approval of Governors Orr and Perry, and under? took to have all thc South Carolina par? dons, as far as he could, favorably dis? posed of. He found 400 cases suspended and laid aside, after being approved by the Attornoy-General. These he has succeed? ed in bringing before the President and has bad them signed by him. They will shortly receive the signature and seal of the Secretary of State, and bo delivered to CoL E. to cany to South Carolina. Forty cases, under 13th exception, have not yet left tho Attorney-General's office, but an order was obtained to-day for them to be put in course of completion, and thore are about fifty oases, which, for peculiar rea? sons, cannot be successfully dealt with at present. A new book by ox-Senator. Ac, Foote, entitled the "War of the Rebellion," is just out, and is having a good run. It is very I readable, being for thc most part a well written sketch of the author's doing and associations in tho Federal and Confede? rate Congress. It is very severe on those whom Foote disliked, and Benton, Pierce, Davis and Yancey aro handled without gloves; while he as warmly eulogizes those to whom his feelings were kind. I think that a skotch of Foote himself, by some discriminating and impartial writer, would form a most interesting and amusing ad? dition to the book. The internal revenue, for the upper part of the State of South Carolina, is to be as? sessed and collected as soon as the organi? zation of the offices can ho completed. No taxes will be assessed or collectod on any subjects of taxation prior to 30th Mav, 1865, which is the date of the establish? ment of tho collection districts in South Carolin;;, except the taxes on incomes, which will be collected for the incomes of 1864, and since. All manufactures, dis : tilled liquors, and other subjects of taxa? tion, produced or accruing since 30th May, will be assessed and taxed. It is thought in the departments and elsewhere her?, I that the oath of ofiice will be so modified, < I at least in regard to postmasters and j iv venue officers, that there will be no dif? ficulty in obtaining Southern men who can take it. A decision has already been made, allowing payment for stationery, office rent, postage, ?Sc, to tho officers of the ! internal revenue in the South, who, as yet, cannot draw their salary by reason of the oath. But I have gossipped long enough. I am tired myself, ana so I am afraid are your readers, and, therefore, I will _QUIT. The Cleveland papers think that the recent cold -weather has not only destroyed all the peach buds in that section, but has actually killed the trees.
