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.

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.

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.

Cont'MJiia, January l?.?A rnnior ran
! about this evening that Mr. B. 11. llut
letl^e, J., the electoral nmssciwor <?r tlx.
State, had telegraphed from Washington
lor his credentials, and that on account
of his not having them the electoral
vote of the Stale could not bo delivered
i in accotduuCie .will) law. It \ya,s asqe-rtained
tliHC. Mr. ItiUledge did telegraph
on Saturday to Senator Hampton, who
was then in Columbia, asking that credentials
b.u forwarded him. 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. As they "
must be signed by a majority of the
members of the board it seems impossible
to have them out and presented in

interest in view of the great publicity T'
recently given in the matter : .
Mr. U. IJ. Rutlodge, Jr., who was
olocted by the electors the messenger to
take tho certificate of tho vote to Washington
and deliver it there to the Vice.
President, was informed upon his olec-.

tioi9 of tho secretary of tho doctoral
college, Mr. lionet. Some time after, i
Mr. Bonet notified Mr. Kutlodgo thai ~
thoro was a package in the Secretary oft /V
State's office addressed to him as meeson- 4
gor, and told liiin that he was to tsko jj
that to Washington and dclivor it to the '
Vice-Pn'Aident.
. On the 23d of Docember Mr. Rutlcdgol,.
ccordingly obtained the pnokagc from
he Secretary of State's otliefc, brought
t with him to Chiirleston, and on the
!8th of December left Charleston for
iVashington, giving himself ample time,
if course, to reach that city long before
he last day fixed by law for receiving
ho certificates, that is, the first Wednesday
in January. Congress was not in
ession when Mr. Ilnth-dge reached
iViishington. nor was any one of the
>emoeratic Senators or Kcprcscntalivcs

Vice-President Kdmunds to the

vas courteously tohl by that gentleman
hat he had no doubt that he was Mr.
lulledgc and the duly accredited niesenger
from South Carolina, but that ho
uid no oflicial evidence of the fact, and
hat il was the rule that the credentials
