Sunday M?rnUffl January 4,1874. Scholarships. The Aot to establish a College- at Co lUuubia wa* p?o??u ii^ XJc?i?iiiucr, ISO?. It authorised the Tratteea to draw oat of the Treasury $50,000, to be appropri? ated to. the erection of suitable build? ings, and $6,000 yearly, to pay-the salaries of the Faculty. la 1802 sad l803, Acts were "passed whioh author? ized the Commissioners, having author? ity to dispose of the public land in Co IambiB) to oonvey-eertain squares to the Trustees of the College. In 1804, the exercises of the College were fairly en? tered npon. Very early in its history,, in 1811, an Aot was passed authorizing the Commissioners of the Orphan House in the city of Charleston to select an? nually one youth from the number edu? cated and maintained on the bounty of that institution, to complete his educa? tion at the College, and for which a pro? per sum was provided out of the State Treasury.' Satirtquentiy, in 1841, pro? fusion was made for the expenses of two students in the College sent from the Orphan House. The young man em? ployed to ring the-College bell was also allowed his board in commons as com? pensation for his* services. These were the only positive and direct educational advantages conferred npon those in needy oiroamstanoes in those early days. Bot they bore rich frnit, and tho State has been honored with the services of several distinguished men who were the recipients of this bounty, and who have amply justified the wisdom of conferring it. In 18*6, Col. John L. Manning led the way in setting the example of en? dowing a scholarship ont of his private fpnds. For this he received the thanks of the Board of Trustees, as well for the manificenoe of the donation aa for the influence it was expected to exercise in giving a right direction to the public oharity of the oitizens of the State. Other scholarships were subsequently established by Col. Wade Hampton, Hiram Hutchinson, Esq., and two by Hon. R. F. W. Allston. There was aotive competition to seonro the benefits of tbeao prizes, and those who filled them:. >were generally amongst the stu? dents -most distinguished for applica? tion, lovo of learning and enthusiasm in its puroait. Besides theso positions, whioh secured support and' education for their incumbents, it was seldom the case, duriug the long period of its moat aotive usefulness, that there were not as many iu the College who were aided by their friends and relatives to secure the great boon of its advantages. Such were the scholarships which it was pro? per to found, and which were followed Dy inestimable benefits to the commu? nity in the talents, virtues and energies * of those who were bred in them for tho publio service. ??.? Postponement Ongm to be Marie. It is just given out that the loth January is the limit after whioh the penalty will attach to those unlucky tax? payers who may not be able to make their tax payments by that date. It has been usual, and we believe was the law, that notice should be given by the State Auditor to the County Auditors of the rate of taxes to bo collected. After a few days' time within whioh to get ready, the Treasurers were expected to have their offices open, and to be ready to receive on the 20th November. It was only u proper consideration for the tax-payers, that they had from that time till 15th January to make their arrange? ments. Owing to tho peculiar circum? stances of tho country and the necessity of waiting on the Legislature, the law, whioh requires the Auditor to give no? tice of the rate of taxes before 15th No? vember, has been repealed. No notice has, therefore, been served on any ono; no publications have appeared npon the subject. And yet it is said, that tho Treasurers will proceed to collect with? out thia notice. Now, why is this so? Is it accidental or designod? Is a tux payer required to know the day when ho must pay taxes, und govern himself ac? cordingly? This is one of those practi? cal abuses which a little foresight and good judgment might have prevented. The tax is disagreeable enough, withont any such unnecessary licks as this' thrown in. Ia faet, on several grounds, the tux ought to be exteudeu to the first of March. The heavy burden ought to be made to fall as lightly as possible on the poople. --<-?*-? A contemporary remarks that tho Vir? ginias, after all her various adventurce, sank "as inglorious as a coal barge." Exactly so. The sinking does remind one of the sinking of tho eoal barge which prevented tho Arupiles from go? ing to sea. -< o ?- ? Cash will be the rule ut the Fao&TX office hereafter. Tho Financial Outlook. The financial stringency continues in this commaoity with little abatement of its rigor. Business bos improved some daring tho holidays, the genial season having induced sn opening of the pane strings. Cotton, too, has advanced a little, and was firm and in domand at (onrteen cents yesterday. The diffl oalties which still beset us and oripple commercial operations are the indispo? sition on the part of holders to accept the present prices of cotton, and the tight grasp with which those who have money persevere in hoarding it. There is a manifest !nok of confidence, and things are in that degree abnormal, tight and decidedly trying to the pa tienoe. Money is. withdrawn from cir? culation too mach. Tho long continu? ance of this spirit hat began to tell un? favorably on tho prospects of oar mer? chants and others who have und banking accommodations. The banks will flud it difficult to extend their favors mach longer in justice to themselves. One of tho great difficulties, it Booms to us, is the deficiency in the amount of cur? rency. Ia being scarce, it becomes un? reasonably and unhealthily high. Let us hope that we shall have some im? provement in the financial situation bo foro the end of this month, and that our merchants and others in straits will successfully tide over this period of peculiar trial. -??????-. There is a prospect of a ohange in the direction of European immigration, and Southern ports seem likely to come in for a fair proportion. Tho Boston Post, in an article upon this subject, says that the prime cause of this is not so mach the immediate promise of favorable oon d'tions uuder which to colonize as tbo demand for reliable labor, and the movement is, therefore, strongest in those States where employers of all sorts have lost confidence iu the old la? bor olas8os. The Post adds, that the freedtuen had abandoned honest indus? try for politics, and a different class must take their place, until tho falsa no? tions which carpet-baggers have incul? cated are dissipated, and tbey leuru that work is the universal condition of honest living. Prometheus Bound.?Stretched on the oold rook, racked by the engiues of torture and vengeance, yea bound as Prometheus and eaten piece-meal by voraoiou vultures, the "links of the lame Lemnian festering in tho flesh"? such is the condition of our once proud? spirited Palmetto sister. It is a speota ole to make angels weep, when a brave people are hopelessly trodden in the dust. How sad must it be when a peo? ple who nurtured a Lowndes, a Marion, a Sumter, a McDuffie uud u Calhoun supplicate in vain for the boon of ex? istence the meroy of auch Goths as now control the destinies of the State. Tho present status of South Carolina politi? cally ooold not well bo worse. She has a profligate, partisan Governor, an igno? rant, venal, degraded Legislature, a jodioiary for the most part as bad us the executive and legislative departments, and nearly all her County and municipal authorities are ou a par with those of the so-called State. Truly she is in a pitiable condition. Truly she needs the sympathy of all men. Trnfy she de? serves to be relieved by some hand of tbo intolerable burdens thut oppress her and vassalize her intelligent oitizsus. As the friend of freedom, tho friend of tho sore oppressed, the friend of South Carolina, we devoutly trust that the cunning and might of tbo Divino Haud may find a deliverance for those people.

Justice, or Course ?It should be uuueocssary fur a judge to rmuik that in his court "a rich man would be treat? ed uo differcutly from a poor ruuu." This is what Ju 'ye Dewey did say iu tbe Sup trior Court, iu Worcester, Mass., j'uhI before sending wealthy Jobu Mor rill for eighteen month.-' to the State prison for receiving stolen goods. All things considered, the crime of the lieh mau is uu aggravated one, since he is in uo need ot sinning for tbe suke of a livelihood.

Au old, rough clergyman once took for bis text that passage of the 1'eulms, "I suid iu my haste uti iauu sro liars." Looking up apparently as if he saw the psalmist standing betoro him, he said: ??You said it in your baste, David. If you had beeu here, you might hive said it after mature deliberation."

"No woman," says Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, "can be brilliant after marriage."
