Hoilgnatlpn of tin* College Librarian -Hlnti to th? Traltiei ?ud Vit* 1?? Bliilataro. ' ?air friend, Bot. 0. Brace Walker, Librarian and Treasurer of the Uni? versity, has tendered his resignation, to tak?l?ffoct dh the 1 jt of Deoomber. We have heard no cause assigned for this action of Mr. Walker, bat the motives for it may be easily divined from sur? rounding oiroomstahoes. We trust, however, that the Board of .Trustees will consider well before they accept it. Mr. Walker is eminently qualified by long; experience, Special knowledge of the library, scholarly acquirements and pare and amiable personal oharaoter for ths office which be fills. No man can be found in or out of the State better fitted to discharge its responsible duties. No mere than Ahe. library itself can a ibrerian be made in a-day or. a year. The duties devolving open- him are ne - oessarily of a kind whioh requires time and> practice, and much reading and ?study. Tho library ia a valuable pos? session-of the State, and the charge of keeping it je a responsible one, and re? quires a thoroughly responsible man, ob well as gentleman and soholar, to meet its demands. Mr. Walker is known to combine all these excellencies, with a kind and courteous disposition towards all classes and conditions. Ho is the man for the plaoe, and, if possible, should be iuduoed to retain it. And, by the way, we trust that tho friends of education and of good under? standing between the races in the Stato, who desire that both shall receive tho highest educational advantages, and live together in peace and friendship, will not be slaok in their efforts* to induce the Board of Trusteei to . reconsider their recent dangerous action. We have reason to believe that it is not approved of in some Republican circles. It can? not be approved' of by dieoreet and moderate men of atiy party. In that Boird, there is intelligence, und we would fain hope patriotism, too. They hare been betrayed into hasty action, but are strong enough, it tbej choose, to modify it. We appeal to them to consider well the consequences of what thoy are doipg. They should know that their recent proceedings must breed a fatal' disagreement between the races here. The scheme whioh they have in aagarated w$ hot work satisfactorily. It will result in blighting and blasting the. education of both races in South Carolina. Call it prejudice o- what you please, the races can no more agree in tho same classes in school or college, than they can in churches or in the family. They cannot learn as well to? gether as separately. Irritation and fretfulness will necessarily come between ? them, and painful and regre table alien? ation 6D8U0. Neither 1 will advanoe in knowledge under suob conditions, and the feud of race will supplant the spirit of study and the broad oatholio human? ity whioh become a seat of learning. No people more than those of the North? ern and Eastern States, embracing the strongholds of Radical Republicanism, have given stronger evidence of this deep-seated feeling. It is instinctive and invincible, and nature in both races cries out against its violation. Whut nature demands, sound philosophy and practical oommon sense both confirm as wise and proper. The scheme whioh the Board has in*j angurated will result in preventing the education of both races in South Carolina. It is already so low as to cause serious alarm to the patriot and philanthropist of whatever party. Oar young men of both races are growing up in ignoranoe and vice, while our sis? ter States of Virginia and Georgia are rtpidly reaovering their high educa? tive! status.* The State University of the former, at Ohsrlottesville, has, per hapB, as many as 600 students, and other colleges and schools teem with eager and zealous pupils. The University of Georgia, at Athens, has 400 matricu? lates, and a deep concern is felt and ex? hibited in this great interest throughout the State. In view of the eomponen t parts of the population in this State, and the necessary distribution of politi? cal power between its two races, it be? comes us to lay anew and broadly the basis of education. We require ably ofOoorod and vigorously oonduotvd f.ee schools all ovor the State. We require two universities or colleges in whioh the higher education and a knowledge of professions shall be imparted. We rooognizo to the fullest extent the neces? sity, wisdom, propriety and justice of thoroughly educating the black peoplo, but wo oanuot coooode that (but of the whites shall be abandoned. Instead of overthrowing our existing institution, the pride of the State and the hope of fcts people, by au impracticable scheme, let ue place it on vantage groond by of? ficering it, with men who are de<roioes.of ejoienoe, who.;Mive fbt in thefoujl Bed heated air*?of pouftios,; ^ in?tfieir ( studies, communing with the , mighty dead in bdoka, training their mi? dB in the light of the past and in the disco? veries and inventions of the present age, in order to apply tkem more wisely and snooessfnlly to tbe great task which they assume. Let us do the . same thing in behalf of the colored people who are here, and whose improvement a'nd development in knowledge and virtne every good Citizen most wish io promote. Tbe more highly educated they are, the more thoroughly indootrinated by good men in integrity, virtue and honor, the better fitted they will beoome to disobarge the offices of good citizenship, tho better prepared for the honorable positions of legislat? ors, judges, and other responsible po? sitions in the service of the State. We j should say, then, let Olaflin University, or one at some other point, be more folly endowed and officered for their special use. Let it be made a first class institution, fully equal to all the de? mands of the higher education. Let steps be taken to reoover the fund aris? ing from the sale of the land donated by the United States Ooverument for the support of an agricultural college, and which was appropriated to the use of Olaflin, but which is cow locked up and hypothecated in New York. This is a wholly practicable, and is certainly a dosirabU, soheme. It is a plane upou which the races oau meet, yet without collision, in honorable rivalry, with pre? servation of good feoling, and with best results to the State. We ought to be done with the question of races here. Our people have deliberately aooepted the situation, and cordially accord to the colored man all his rights and privi? leges. But there is a sensible way of doing things, one that will yield good results and promote the huppiness of both races. There is another whioh is wholly impracticable?is, in fact, only worthy of luoatios?and if it do not produce collision of races, will inevita? bly plant the seeds of discontent and disagreement in the hearts of both. We would that our Uoiversity Trustees oouldsee things in a dispassionate light, and not imprudeutly revive the question of oolor, now that it has been consi? dered dead and buried. i ? ? ? ? ??Georgia. Scenes.*' One hnudred fresh studeuts in the Mercer University. Four hundred stu? dents in the State University, at Athens. Other literary institutions prosperous in the same degree. The State remits the tax paid on mauufaoturiog oupital, and Augusta, Maoon, Rome, Athensaud other places have some of the most profitable manufacturingestablishments in thej world. The Grangers at Work.?Tho farm? ers' granges in this State have taken a step in tho right direction. Forsyth Orange has declared the cotton tax levied 1865 6 7-8 oppressive and uncon? stitutional, and that it is the duty of Congress to refund the money collected by this tax to the producers. The grunge declares that it will bring tbe matter before tho State grange and thus seouro unity and concert of uotion when Congress assembles. Wo believe that if the grangers will set to work between this timo and December they oau secure the passage of a bill refunding the tux and restoring 860.000,000 to tbe im? poverished producers of the South. If a little energy is displayed the Southern grunges can got their Western brethren to unite with them, and thus bucked, Congress will not dare to rofuae com? pliance with their just demuud. The granges could not make a more siguul display of their power than in this mat? ter. If they can force Congress to give tardy justioo to tho South, it will pave the w .y to the restoration of farmers' rights in the West. Lot this move? ment be made a national affair on the part of the granges and victory will be certain.?Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel. Tue United States District Court. Before Judge Geo S. Br, in presiding, Samuel Black, indicted uud tried for perjury and fourd guilty, wussouituoed to be imprisoned iu tho penitentiary and pay a flue of $200, E. J.
