University of South Carolina Libraries
Tneslay 4erniilg| February 18,1873. t Patty qf tlt? Liiglilnlare uml ofthe Trus * t. ' ttea BUet to tne University. Under oar present regime, when every* thing gets so tangled that ordinary mortale cannot see their way out, Jndge Maokey is generally providentially near by, like another thus ex mackina, to solve the riddle, or unravel tho plot. He it was who, in improvised cbaxuberp, improvised a decision which left Trial Justice Kirk high and dry Bucking the thumb of'/ his empty authority, which, by'the way, was itself duly revoked at the earliest moment the next day. Some days ago a question was raised, or pre teuilod.to be raised, as to the right of members o! the" General' Assembly to troll tho position of Trustees of the South Carolina University. Upon that an opinion'was given by Jndge Maokey. We are dull enough not to see the point or reason of this opinion. But that is immaterial. It was raised only for a purpose, which is, we suppose, accom? plished by this time. Presuming, then, that the election of Messrs. Lee, Bow ley, Swaita and Jervey will stand, and that threo' more Trustees will be ohosen to? day, it will not be amiss for us, and we hope.it may be of some avail, to remind the Legislature that they have accepted from the United States Government, and appropriated to the endowment and support of an agricultural and mechani? cal college in oonneotion with Claflin University, the proceeds of the sale of land scrip, lo which South Carolina was entitled' under the .provisions of the Act of Congress, passed July 2, 1862. That was dono and acquiesced in on all hands, we'are informed, with the distinct under? standing that the State University should be so managed as not to lead to a practi? cal exclusion from its benefits of the young men of the State, whose fathers had founded it with snob, wisdom and nurtured it with euch care. The Pro? fessors and Trustees were to be men ca? pable of inspiring confidence in the peo? ple of the State, and the affairs of the University and its course of instruction suoh as they could approve of and sup? port. Was there not such understand? ing? We remind the Legislature, to-day, that the work of building up is more difficult, but much more honorable and praiseworthy, than that of destroying. The Act to establish a oollege at Colum? bia was passed 19th December. 1801, in order to extend the benefits of education throughout, tho length und breadth of the State, and .through ita humanizing influences to promote harmony between the upper and lower country. "Where? as," says the Act,' "the proper education of youth contributes greatly to the pros? perity of 'Society, and ought always to be an object .of legislative attention; and whereas the establishment of a colloge in a central part of the State, where all its youth may "be educated, will highly promote the instruction, the good.order and ttiej harmony qf the whole commu? nity," &c., &o. Now, this goodly institu? tion, which Iras stood three-quarters of a century, pouring' forth streams to glad? den and fertilize tho land, and which im associated with, nil * that is honorable, noble and refined in our history, it is in the power of tho Legislature to maintain and recover to its pristine use? fulness, or completely to crush aud strangle. They have but to pursue a certain course, and the evil work is done. Pour in the poison of prejudice, igno rauoe and unmannerly conceit, and it will soon take effect, and the oollege whioh once stood high for its scholarship, and among the highest for its tone and senti? ment of honor, will become a homo for owls and bats, desolation and solitude But we hope for better things. Wo would be pleased to have tho Legislature and the Trustees feel a proper pride in this institution. It is a State University, and entitled to the good will and effect? ive support of all the sons of the State. To a long caroer of usefulness and honor, it adds the venerableness of age and tho sanctity of misfortune. Wo say, then, keep up Claflin University. In addition to the large fund already ex? clusively set apart for its support, vote such appropriations as may bo necessary to carry it on successfully and usefully. But, at tho same time, we plead for the continued existence and usefulness of the University. Harm it not, neither by direct blows, nor indirect agencioe. Put discreet men in control over it. Let them be large-hearted us well us strong-minded. Let them bo capable of disregarding prejudice, and of rising to tho level of the duty imposed on them. Let them be tolerant and fair, consider? ate and just. It will be a great achieve? ment for them to contribute to resusci? tate this cherished institution; it will be a burning disgrace, which their children after them will feol, to deal it its death blow, or worse, consign it to infamy. The Ii Urning of Columbia?C tin n|je?. Yesterday, tho 17th of February, was the anniversary of the burning of Co? lombia?a day memorable in oar annal?, and forever to be marked with a black stone. No tongue can depiot its horrors, no pen Is oapablo of bringing snfflqieatly into view for olear realization the terrible destitution whioh ensued npbn it. Who does not remember bow precarious were supplies of the plainest kind with whioh we fought against gaunt hunger? Who oanuot recall the ration house? Upon frhosa heart is not imprinted the re? membrance of that community of pinch? ing wuut, whioh qnickened sympathy, and caused tho hand whioh held any? thing of . general value to open like day to meltipg charity? .Time wore on, and by and by a slight-change for the better was noticed. Tho Puchnix rose from its ashes, and j the brave spirit of W, Gil more Simms spoko out iu its columns its daily lessons of manly endurance and manly exertion, scouting and rebukiog unmanly despair. Shanties and sheds were, erected here and there. Business gradually reoovercd somo tono and ac? tivity. Small stores and humble dwell? ings went up. Tho broken links in our railroad lines were mended, and im? provements sot iu at last, and proceeded with marvellous rapidity. We see now innumerablo now stores, and many privato residences of tasteful and elegant, if not of costly, plan and structure. Iu our palmiest days, we had no dry goods stores superior or equal to those we now have, and in hotels and drug stores, wo are in advance of those of the olden time, "before the flood,"or before Sherman. We miss the buoyant young men who used to attend tho col? lege, scattering with no stinted hand their money through the town,'and bearing away, when they left, not only the degrees and diBtinotions oonferred by their Alma Mater, testifying to their profioienoy in knowledge, and to their qualifications for usefulness in life, but also the impress on their manners and oharaoter of the refined and cultivated society of tho place. The cotton busi nees has been reduced since that day, but there are reasons to hope that it may be recovered in all its original fullness, with additions. If we have more crimi? nals now, we have more ample and suit? able accommodations for them in the penitentiary. It becomes us to look forward. Manu? factures are what we need to make our waste places in town and country blos? som as tho rose, and give activity to all departments and classes of our retail trade. The town of Columbus, Georgia, has a monthly receipt of $30,000, or 81,000 a day, from hands employed in its manufacturing establishment. Why may we not do as well, or better, with slooh maguifioent water power as we have in the oanal? We wish to see that water power no longer lie idle. We wish also to see paper mills, woolen mills and cotton mills in operation on the many fine streams in tho neighboi hood, upon tho lines of our railroads. We have done something since 17th February, 1865. Our merchants and bankers have done well. It now de? volves upon us to develop the great inte? rests of manufactures, comparatively speaking, now iu its infancy. What has been done only shows tho more clearly what romaius for us to do. Wo must wake up, and help to inaugurate the promises, if not the glories, of a new era. It may never vie with tho old, bat it will have its own distinctive characteristics of progres?, wealth and material ad vaucement. i ? ?-? Arx'En the Scottites.?Tho members of tho Wilmington (N.C.) Chamber of Commerce havo taken up tho matter of the discrimination against local freights practiced by the railroads undor tho control of tho Southern Security Com? pany. A committee has been nppointed "to demand relief," and, failing to obtain it from tho railroad officials, to memo? rialize the Legislature on tho subject. Tho Wilmington Star, which has led tho ' attack upon the monopolists, is confident that tho raiders "who bavo seized the lines of trade and travel" will find that "the voioe of an outraged people" is moro potent than Tom Scott uud his co? horts. To the PcniilO.?Iu January, 1873, a gentlemau by tho name of Amos A. Stoddard died in East Cleveland, Ohio, his homo. Ho left considerable property. His only heir is a son by tho uamo of Ira Stoddard, who is now about thirty-three years old. Ho was in tho army during the .war. After returning homo, ho loft for the South, on account of the climate. After one or two years, he failed to keep up correspondence with his friends, and now they do not know where ho is. He was in Atlanta, Ga., in March, 1871. Any one informing of his whereabouts will be liberally rewarded, by addressing Wra. Morgan, East Cleveland, Ohio. Meningitis}.?We havo no now oases of this disease to report. Since our lust issue there has been a few deaths iu the County, but nouo in this place. All the oases, so far as wo have been able to as? certain, are improving. [Laurensville Herald. state legislature". Monday, Febbuaby 17, 1878. .... SENATE. . The Senate met at 12 M..

Church of Booth Carolina, convened at George? town, early in the week before last, and Closed its labors on Thursday last. 170 preachers were'presenti and 151 appoint? ments were made. No ?appointment was made for Columbia, but it 13 stated that the church will probably be supplied by , Rev. A. Arnett, a man of good education and ability.' Rev. R. H. Caia, who has been stationed here for the past two 1 years, was appointed general education and missionary agent. The reports of the members of the convention show that the A. M. E. Church has in the State abodt 48,000 members, an increase of about 3,000 over tho number reported at the last oonfcrcnoe. The total amount of money raised in the churches for pas? tors' salaries wus $20,00u?an average of $132 each for the 151 appointments. $1,200 was raised in the conference, we understood, for the Bishop. . Special interest was manifested in tho A. M. E. Theological Semiuary, which is to be located at Cokcsbnry. 142 acres of land was purchased some time ago, on which nregood, substantial buildings, which admirably answer the purpose of the seminary. This school for the edu? cation of the miuistry of tho church is to be specially fostered, as tho church doe pi. feels the need of an educated mi? nistry. ltov. R. H.

There is n marked improvement iu the profi? ciency and intelligence of the preachers iu the denomination, which commences the year under flattering prospects. [Daily Union. Large Fike ok the Carolina Side of Savannah River.?The Savouuah Jtfetcs, of Saturday, says: "Last night, about half-past 11 o'clock, a fire broke out on the Carolina side on Buck River, which was observed very plainly from this side. Iu a few minutes after it was first seen the flames burst forth with tremendous power, and tho brilliant light enabled us to discover the buildings burning. It was authoritatively stated that the build? ing first discovered ou fire was n rice mill. It was completely destroyed, to? gether with several surrounding build? ings; this, at least, could be plainly seen, although tho distance was said to be a mile and half." The following anecdote of Lord Lyttou is told in tho London correspondence of the New York Tribune: He was deaf, and at times very deaf; his malady vary? ing in intensity. It was his foible to wish to conoeal it, especially when the partial return of the seuse gave him a chance. An old friend, driving with him one day, raised his voice to a high pitch, "Why do you shout at me so?" exclaimed Lord Lyttou, "Oh, my lord," was tho answer, "I thought you seemed rather more deaf than usual." "Deaf!" screamed his lordship, "I'm not deaf, d?n yon; I hate deaf people" And for tho rest of the drive there was a great silence.
