The dcraocratijr leaders of the Sotise proved i themselves equal lo tbe occasion. apd Ijroke the record for a new Congress by getting to wotk on the silver question on - the fifth day of th'e session. T}hey also disappointed the Republicans who were coclrcd an<d primed to arraign the Democrats at tbe bar of public opinion on the charge of intention al procrastination. Repub licans hsrve been so surprised at the ease with which the Democrats reached an agreement to take up the Silver question, in advance of the appointment of committees, dis cuss it fourteen days and the vote upon the bill f?r the repeal of the purchasing clause of the 'Sherman law and amendments thereto ' for the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16, 17, l&f^, or '20 lo one, and the substitution of the old Bland act, wbicb wasf the iaw before the Sherman act was pas-ed inl 8?0f * hat they have just begun to charge the Democrats with railroading the matter through the House. Thr Democrats are perfectly willing to plead guilty to the charge of rail roading the question; they believe that the situation required rail roading, and that the people had a right to expect it. Tbe agreement under which the debate is now be wg conducted i* thoroughly demo cratic; it provides ior an equal division of time and'for a vote up on c the bill and tbe .amendments nan<ed without filibustering, and the decision cf the question is to be made soltly by the majority in the House. It looks now as though the bill for thfr unconditional repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sher man law would pass, although there is a probability that an amend ment providing for the free coinage of silver at an increased ratio may be added to the bill. Up to this time the debate has been carried on in a spirit of tolera tion, although some of the speakers on both sides ? silver and anti-sil ver, there are no p$;tica'i sides re cognized in the debate ? have made some ; rather strong statements. The small attendance is surprising, in view of the great interest throughout the pountry in the re sult. Of course every body knows that iiLis easy for members of the Houselto find more comfortable places than their seats in the House to spend their time from 11 a, m," to 6 p. m. daily, but it does peem that more of thomi should regard it a dutv to attend the sessions than do. 'While there is no actual Bscesi ty for their being present, if they do cot intend to speak, until the voting begins, still- it would look better to see them in their seat?. V The democratic Senators have uot found it sc^easy to agree upon/ a program .for the disposal of the silver question in the Senate, al-.: though the committee appeinted hy the democratic caucus, of which Senator Gorman is chirjian, has made some progress towards a com promise, and there is reason for-tho bel ef that it will eventually suc ceed. The most radical silver men y * in Congress are Republican Sena tors, and it is their iufluence which makes it dififlcfjt to get the democratic Senators' to agree upon a compromise substitute for the Sherman law. There is& little, if any probability tfciat a bill for the repeal of the entire law or of tba purchasing clause through 1 the Senate without being acoou*- 1 panied by a substitute. I , The town has beeu full of silJy rumors about Presjdent-C!eveland\ health since his return to Gray Gabje?>, under his physician's order* in search of much needed rest. | The case is very simple and there is no occasion for rumor. There is1 nothing the matter with tha Pre&i i dent's general health, but he hat over^oiking himself ever sir.se the fourth of March, and being only tvuman, his system is now paying | the penalty, and demands thewt which he has not beiore felt at! ?liberty to give it. There is reatly no good reason why he should be > in Washington during the discus- j ?don df the silver question. In fact there are more reasons for his being away. Had he remained here he *ould constantly have been charg ed with trying to influence votes in some-way or other. Being away he can get needed rest and no one can -accuse farm of trying to iuterfere with the Constitutional rights of Senatorsand Representatives. The agreement to take up the sftver question in the House was a great relief to speaker Crisp, as it will enable him to take his time is making up the committees, for there will be notfring for them to do until after the silver question is disposed of. While there has been nothing in the shape of an official agreement to that effect, there seems to be a general understanding among the Democrats in the House that the committee en Way6 and Means will as soon as 4ts membership is an nounced .begin the work of reform ing tbe tariff.

J [ Agreeably to resolution No. 2, a cons mittee 6f fire have the honor jto address themselves to the people ofUhe; whole State in behalf of the Sout^ Carina College. ? " ThVc^mn"tte deein Jt unnecessary to rehe&ae the history of the College #r| to make t c i splay of its rich*fruitage in the influences it has organized and the manhood it has trained. Tliis appears in striking colors in LaBorde's pages* as well as ia the annals of the Common, wealth. Founded in ISO] by Legislative act, on the ground that the est&isbmeat of a College, in the central part of the State, where all its youth may be educated,' would highly promote the instruction, the | good order, and the harmony of the whole community, it Iks nobfy fulfilled its high mission. Says the historian of the College / j "Has the College accomplished the great end for which it was established? Has it done its work in educating the people of South Carolina? Every part of the State, and the up-country particu- 1 arly has derived from it an amount of benaflt which cannot be estimated bv dollars and cents. If it be true, as^ think it is, that'South Carolina has ri valed her most favored sisters in virtue intelligence and public spirit, much of ' :t is <lne to her allege. IUier Govern ors , her Senators and Representatives in Congress, and hsr Judiciary, 'have shed a bright lustre upon her namei the Col lege will point to the larger number of | them as hpving been trained in her walls, and thereby fitted for their inch positions." 6 Assuming, now, as we have every! right to assume, that this time-honored Institution hss done its whole duty to South Carolina in its past of ninefy-two j years, the committer submit that, in the 'record of its ach!evment<, the College furnishes a strong argument in; favor of it* present support, and supplies the grounds of the appeal. But, fortunately for the SoutliCir.-. lina College, it need not rest its case upon its past laurels? upon tho ennob jing part it has played in the history of the State, j ' , While adverting to thc?e memories ana treasuring them as a grand hieritage, your committee ^prefer to base the fciwa^efWve College for popular support up*:i its present advantage* as a school of education and .training , and upon the peculiar conditions that now confront us in the State. Four committee point to the thorough' appo:r,tments of the College jfor its netds as a State College ; to its accom- j pliahed corps of Professors ; its extensive apparatus for teaching, its 'ample lib rary ; its commodious buildings ; its healthy locality ; its central position in the State.? the peer in these resjiects of any other Cullege in the countr*. s "ioar committee further point jto the special a.^antage offered by ths College to those -ftudenu seeking a general edu cation as distinguished from special in struction? symmetrical, mental 1 an^ moral training as disUr.guished|<<r?ID technical 'ranung. ChaliOngiag lha chums of no oth*?r in- 1 stitutions of learjynj in the State - State or Denominational? the South Carolina Collere addresses itself to the whole Commonwealth as a central insti tr. uon non-political, noa-seciarian, ut terly divested of all class re. trie ions, and r-dorned by bcaeficient provisions of the poor. But your committee have reserved for the last what they deem the strongest argument in behalf of the dnty of the citi feensh:p eft South Carolina to -N: rally to the support ot tlie state College at the Capi tal. This argument is based upon the advantages arising from the unification of our people in thought and in senti ment. ^our committee do nc? propose t<d discuss the philosophy of the present sit uation ia South Carolina, nor the causes to at tf aW ie<i t0 H It i$ 01?0Qgh to rg cognize the actual condition? political and soda! and to deplore it is a serious bar to the good of South Carolina. Nev er before in our history as Colonv or ?State !?ve our people been so anbap'pilv divided. Xever before has there exist ed so much acrimony of feeling, so much of actual distrust* The commute feel that to cure, or eves to mitigate, these divisions among I our people would be the highest states manship?an act ef patriotism to ensure our common prosperity. Xow, as a means to this end, the com mittee are aware of n0 instrumentality more potent than the State College, or'. ' gamzed to promote "the hormonv of' the whole immunity," and so well adabied now to bring about this most desirable consummation. It js here, in thepres-1 cntas in the past, that thesaident learns to know as his own people the men from all parte of the State-to "love the! ^ e of South Carolina as a unit"? in ne, to enlist under the banner of South Carolina brotherhood, in the deveioo ment of South Carolina manhood, mind and character, on the enlarged plane of I liberal education, discipline and cul ture." " The committee, therefore, ndvficat** the College, upon the ground of its in trinsic worth, and it3 peculiar adapta bility to the demands of a policy indis pensable K> the future honbr and gl&ry1 of Sou h Car<>linr.. Placing the cause of the College far above tha entanglement of faction or I he antagonisms cf party, the committee commend it and i?e larire i^ues, not to its Alumni only, but to the eutii?? com munity of * State, which, in its' heart of , hearts, touched by it* lofty inrinefcs most aspire to that fraternal sentiment and that patriotic duty which make op ?o?th O^roUoa't crown of beauty in ike .pest*' May the tild College still fcjve fostering e:re of al! South CarVtCiians, and may. the patriotism of .our people pirompt tiicm not to torn their backs i|{ - on their mother State by p::tronizip?! colloge? of other States, when the mean# ot an ample liberal education are afFor?^l at home. . , ? f-M In conclusion, the committee, m ti*e discharge of &etr further dnty in tne premises, call upon* the Alumni of the College, in every county in-th& State, to organise Alumni Associations, to the end that they may advance the best interests of the Collfg.'1, and to creite a furid fyr the benefit of- such ambitious and ex piring young men at may need the^ielp of Beneficiary Scholarships to obtain the advantage of the College course.
