I The ^Teii'f/c.n i/ Observer seems to he of the opinion that the Iricmls of thr U university arc opposed to the common schools. We uro quite well aware that the people in this <"<>unty at hast are weary of the profitless discussion ol this subject, lint it is a matter of justice to the friends ol' the University that these reflections hi! not allowed to pass unnoticed. We do not know how it may he elsewhere, hut iu this Count}' those who are classed as friends of the University arc strong supporters of the common schools. Soma of litem have given much ol' theii time und attention to the furtherance ol the i ute I ests of these schools. "It is ?jnito possible that tho present system does not altogether conform to theii views. I?ut they nre determined to support it till some better he suggested, .When tin; /'reus <!/h' /{(inner agitated the repeal of the two-mill tax the majority of the "friends of the Uni* versity" wore opposed to its ropo.il, ami aio to-day opposed to it. Wo know full \v?;lI liow honest and earnest is oui friend of tho Obserrci' in these matters, and wu are quite sure that ho 1ms no ulterior object in view in discussing them. Hut wo have hoard hero so much clap-trap on this subject and so much strenuous effort has boon made to put the friends of tho University in false positions in regard to the matter that wo have grown weary of hearing tho assertion that because one is in favor ot higher education one is therefore opposed to common schools and free education. There are politicians among us who catch at every utterance of every man to treasure up that upon wlr'ch they liopc to hang in future some report to his detraction and injury. It is thus with the discussion of this University question. Here it has degenerated to he a factional fight, and the people are heartily weary of it, as some will And. CL.KVIiIiAND'8 LilSTTISK. Cleveland's letter of resignation of the office of Governor is almost an insult to the people o.f New York. It is curt and rude. Here was a man elected to the Governor's ofiicc of the Kmpire State o( the Union b}' the most unprecedented majority ever given any man for that DOKitioil- hi vim* flnivn >lu ilinict; a kindly word, or an expression of appreciation of the high honor that had been done him. We are quite in sympathy with <!ov. Cleveland's ideas that hisoflicial position is one of trust for the proper discharge of w^eh he is responsible. lint however tnucli he may treat it as a matter ol business there arc curtain amenities and courtesies incident to the acceptance and resignation of such positions that ought to be observed. At least one need not forgot common politeness. The l?.*tt?;v was about in these words: To the (tcneral Assembly : I hereby rosign the ollice of Governor of the State of New York. * TBI-: MIDLAND KAILKOAD. v %. ? ' * The Pickenx Sentinel is of opinion that tin; interest which Y.r.vor Courtenuy nid Charleston are taking in thi.s Rofl'd is in the nature of a Trojan horse. That ('apt. Conrtenay. vim has long been connected with the Clydes, is working now in their inteiest by trying.to capture .the , Midland *l?ailroad. Tlie thing lins mi uncomfortable sound, but w^"flo no't'hclleve that Mayor -Courtenay would lend himself to such a scheme, lie is deeply interested in the welfare of the city of Charleston ol ,which he is Mayor, and there can be no question that the Midland lload would be a great factor in the business interests of Charleston. We think he is in earnest, and trust he will succeed, and we wish he would interest himself at the same time in the Carolina, Cumberland 'Ciap and Chicago JUilrond, which is one 'of tho most practicable and important railrb&l schemes ever suggeste d in^Sonth Carolina <for connection with the West.

Senator Hampton left for Washington that evening. A duplicate return of the electoral vote ; must be delivered by the messenger to I the President of the Senate by the first Wednesday in January, the 7th instant, and credentials are necessary to theii proper delivery by the messenger. ^ In the absence ?>f other information it J is believed thai the electoral board forgot to make the credentials.
