SHOW UP. j
We are curious to know for <vliat of- *
flee tho editor of the j&fedium will bo n
candidate in the next campaisrn. That ^
he has such an object can scarcely b<>
doubted. Tho tone of th?* lust issue of
his paper is unmistakably political.' Xo
less than lour articles appear in it, oyery j
o.^nnf which contains some ingenious-^and
disingenuous?plea to the passion t
and projudieo of the people. For instance ]
in speaking of the Citadel, the Medium
s?ys* J
'To confine the Board to graduates
* looks too much like lit Off rule. It ,
smacks of the oligarchy now being (
built np in this Slate."
Bnh ! What stuff, and for what a .
purpose ! Will the editor of the Mali- '
t/Jtt please' state who constitutes the oli?
..-'''gavchy, and the process by which it is \
being built up in this State ? L^t us ,
know, we want facts. '.
Again, in the same issue, the Medium j
has an article in reference to the ''New
Deal," that is being talked about, in
State offices. So many expressions of ,
th*; nature of those we have mentioned. (
occur in that article that it would re- <
.quire its republication to give any adc- ,
quate idea of its nature. (
"Bosses," "King," &c., occur so of- |
ten in it that one is forced to the con- ,
elusion that the editor of the Medium ,
dare not call his soul his own. Hut
that ho is oppressed and ground down by ,
his "Bosses" and by tho "Kings" that |
ho seems so much afraid of. (
Under the title "Barkis is Willing," ^
the Medium professes to bo "ready and ,
willing" to furnish information that a (
iring does exist in tho State. Now we ,
demand that the information bo given.
Wo want the names of the members of
the "King"?the leaders of it?when they
meet and where and by what means
they exercise their influence. Give 1
names and dates, and bo explicit. We '
are tired of baseless assertions, without !
foundation in fact.
But perhaps the worst fling of all
is contained in tho following extract
from the Medium :
"So the truth is disguised and we are
paying higher taxes every j'eai to kuep
up an extravagant gevernment in which
places are provided for the impecuuious ,
and suffering survivors of a past age
who precipitated this State into a fatal '
and unnecessary war to .keep up their
supremacy."
'If any man in the State has made 1
more of his "war record" than tho edit
or of the Medivvi we would like to
havo him trotted out. It is a good oi.e
and he has a right to be proud of it.
That he is proud of it is apparent froiu
his constant,reference to his connection
-with the war, with "Co. G" and ."Orr's
Rifles,", a gallant Company and n gallant
Jiegiment, with whom it was a' pride
doubtless to be associated. II'.Mice
it' seems strange now to hear this
talk about unnecessary war, &c.
Now it is ungracious, to say the
very" least of it', to speak of "a fatal
and unnecessary war . to keep up their
supremacy." And all lor political effect
s
$y the way .how does that Inst quotation
comport with the following language,
taken from an article on the Citadel
contained in the issue of the Medium,
of Aug., Gth?the italics are
ours.
"The Citadel should have at its hcada
real soldier?-a man who has smelt
powder. There are many men mho
were not afraid to risk their Lices in
the lute war who are competent to
take charyc of the Citadel. Wo do
not expect to countcnuncc any other
Bopt of man. A man who wouldn't
HO. into the ranks in 1861 in not Jit for
the place. Especially is this the case if
f he had a military education and sought
.safety in privatu life oi- bombproof
position.'
Ambition?that ambition by which
I the angels fell, often places men in false .
positions?and they wjio tybpr under
the force of its power ought to bo very
careful to remember that consistency is
said to be a jewel.

Immediately after the vote on the
quostion of subscription to the G., C. G.

frets and Banner professed to "accept
the result" in good faith, and with
. v .cheerfulness. Latterly it has begun to
indulge in innuendoes and flings at the
road that art, tp put iuwildly, rather inexplicable
to us. Here is a specimen of
its half, column editorial on this subject

Wo wonder if that is the wit of the

' With what sly approval, and affected

!
Now can any reasonable man tell why
our neighbor1 is doing all this? What
does it expect to accomplish by its
cours2? The bonds are voted, the election
is over, and the bitterness engendered
by that contest has died away, and
here comes the Press and Banner with
no earthly purpose to serve, and seeks tc
revive it all!
Wo think there are memories connected
with that time that are so fai
from pleasant ones to the 2'rcsi

period and its experiences sink intc
oblivion. People forgave much to il
then. They will not relish a revivification
of the controversy.
THE STORM.
The terrible storin of wind and rain;
amounting to a cyclone, that passed ovei
Charleston on the 25th, is fRiniliar in
ill its details by this time. The JSTewi
mid Courier with a service that is unsurpassed
in Southern-journalism, hat
published the minutest particulars o!
this horrible visitor. Houses were
unrooieu ana oiown uown, cnurcnef
lost their spires and roofs. Public
buildings wore injured, wharves destroyed,
the battery broken and wushod
and the city drenched in rain and sill
water. Yet in spite of all this, but few
lives are lost. Truly this is wonderful ano
cause of great thankfulness to the llulor
of the storm.
The estimated value of the propertj
destroyed is over one and a half million
of dollars ; and necessarily uiueli
suffering must ensue. But with a courage
and energy that are the sure harbingers
of success, and a cheerfulness anr.
patience that are worthy of all admiration,
the people of Charleston have sei
about repairing their losses and dainagos.
Every where Sounds of labor arc
heard, and doubtless ere many days
are passed all traces of the visitor wlu
brought with him such destruction ant
loss will have disappeared from the fact
of the nohlo old city. Charleston will
not accept nny outside aid- She feels
able to take car of her own sufferers
But she will not take it amiss if w*.
send her the expression of the heart)
sympathy of our people with her ir
her misfortunes and of their willingness
to aid her if she finds that six
needs Assistance.
We cannot refrain from express
ing our admiration of the courst
of tho lietcs and Courier in this
emergency. From the very first ii
has sought to keep up tho courage o
its people by words of good cheer nnc
hope. It has never doubted Charleston's
ability to recover, and that speedily,
from this blow ; and we have nc
doubt that its words, and its example
Itavo had much to do with keeping uj
the spirits of the citizens. Nor has it
good work been confincd to kind word*
only. Many of the sufferers by the
storm Are people who own their hum'
ble homes and live by their daily labor
These were unable t? raise the nionej
sufficient to repair the injuries to theii
property. The News and Courier has
perfected Arrangements by which those
people may obtain the sums they neec
on most favorable terms: This is t
work of benevolence, of true-charitj
and redounds to the glory of our city
contemporary. It has asked no pay
and seeks no reward. But there can bt
no doubt that its bread thus cast upor
the waters will return after many days

conference of the representatives of the J
tho denoninational colleges of this State who
were elected by tho trustees of those Institutions
was held at the residence of Col. James v

Thursday night. The following gentlemen u
were present: 8

The conference whs In session about three
hours and discusscd the State College thor- u
mighty. Tliu sentiment of the members was
finally given shape in tho following, which I
was drawn up and unanimously adoptod. ,,
"The members of this conference, represonting
the several denominational colleges of j.
South Carolina, herebv declare that we h ive '
no opposition to the existence and the tuainte- c
nance of the South Carolina Uuiversity, and t
wouldlayor any nppropriato action of tho
Hoard of Trustees to ninko it a Uuiversity of
(he highest grade. 11
"/ie*o(vrd. That wo are unutterably op- <
posed to the existing feature of free tuition
which prevails in the South Carolina College, ,
because we believe that it is wrong in principle
and injurious in policy to use the taxing
power of the Stuto to afford collegiato "educa- ^
tiou without charge to those who are able to
pay therefor, by which tho college is brought .
into unfair competition with the other colleges J
of the State on a basis other than their relatives

''Jitsolved, That we favor the change of \
the Act regulnting tho tuition charges in the i
State University, so that tho minimum j
charge Tor tuition therein shall be at least fif.
ty dollars per annum."?tiretnvilU Ntwt.
All right! Now that tlie opponents '
of tho University have put themselves (
on record as only opposed to the "Free 1
tuition" feature thereof, let the Hoard 1
j of Trustees meet and adopt a tuition
fee. It can't hurt the University and ,
( it may give us peace. i

Reunion of Company II, 19th Regiment,
S. C. V., at Troy.
Last Tuesday, Aug. 25tli, the day set
apart for the grand reunion of Company
H, 19th* Regiment, S. C. V. dawned upon
us as fair and beautiful as could he.
The da}' was profoundly propitious,
every prospect was pleasing, and even
fallen man ceased to be vile. From 7
to 11 a. m. all roads were blocked with
the ingathering multitudes; old mon, 1
young mon, fair maidens, who have
burning in their very souls the love of
country and liberty came forward to
participate in this grand and glorious
cause. Old veterans whosesilvery
locks show signs of decaying years,
throw their mant'.e arround them, and
step to the front as in days of youth,
when life and liberty woro at stake.
How proud wo do feel when km??
. thpni now, oven after the lapse of so
many many years, still cherish within
' their bosom, that pntraotlsiu that pride,
f and that love of country, that actuated
| them to give up everything, and struggle
for that which they thought tlieir
own.
At eleven o'clock the beautiful greem
> swarmed with happy and excited
) humanity. Tho crowd soon gathered
, in front of tho Academy where ample
acco nmod itiovs were to seat all presen*,
' and also iu fujl view of the speakers
' stand.

The Building und Loan Association. n?
In pursuance of a cull made bv the corpora- l\rt
tors, a number of citizens met in Mr Mower's
nllice Friday afternuuu to form a Building and <>r
Loan Association. 01,1
Jiio. O. Peoples was elected chairman of J,1'1'
the meeting, und J. \V. M- Simmons secre- :!'c
tury. The chair explained tho object of the
meeting. Geo S. Mower, by request of the
meeting, read tho constitution of Assistance "
B. A L Association in Charleston, and explained
the modus operandi ot such associa- "
lions. T'je following are some of their feu- ro'
tures:
The primary object is to enable any mem- "
ber to uccoinc his own laudlord, which he can ,l"
do by paying into this joint concern for a few ,l.c
years but little, if any, more than he would . "
pay during the same time for rent. .
The association is a mutual benefit and llx
stock cotmmnv.
The shares are $1.00 each per month {"J
during the existence of the association. ?.
At the end of each month the entire amount
paid in is put "up and lent to the highest bid- 80
der at a premium. The premium is deducted ?.
from the amount bid for, and tlio bidder re- .
onives the balance, for which he must give
security. A member is allowed to bid for $200 .
on each share held by him, and after he has ?f
borrowed pays in addition to bis regular
assessment of $1.00 on each share held by him ro
6 per cent. per Hnnum on the gross
amount bid for. To illustrate : A takes 10
shares: his monthly asscsmcnt will be $10.
If he wants to borr^v, he can bid for $2,000. A1
The $2,000, less the premium, is lent him, and ?/*
he then pavs interest on $2,000. The interest
on $2,000 at 6 per cent, is $120 a vear, or $10
per month; so that he now pays$$0 per mi nth.

tape of this plan of borrowing over the ordi- it
nary mode : u
Ten shares at a premium of 35 will not the
borrower $1,300. On the ten shared he pays J?
$10 a month as assessments or dues; anil lie i'1
also pays $10 a mouth on that interest on tl
that borrowed?$2,000 in 100 months. fj(
Should lie borrow $1,300 for 100 months in
the ordinary way, the interest would amount
to $758, which added to Ihc principal would be c'
$2,05K?a difference of $58 in favor of tlio ni
building and loan. $
r To those who do not wish to borrow the
association offers a safe ami profitable invest- ?
ment, and is especially convenient to persons '
who have small sums to invest from monthly
salaries or incomes.
The above gives the general principles. Different

That no person be allowed to take more than
twenty shares in his rtwn name and right: and
that the membership be confined to whites.

r Death of Mr. Emerson Wing:.
This young man, ono of the best known of
5 the natives of our city, died at tho residence
, of his father, on Pickens street, at about G
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
For some timo past he hos been sleeping
' at his private room over the Carolina Bunk,
, and on last night week the occupants of tho
, rooms in the same building were aronsud by
' his calls, and on going to his room fomid him
' suffering from a violent attack of what ap'
peared to b colic. Ho was removed to his
I father's bouse on Wednesday, since which
k time ho appeared to bo improving, until yes
leraav aucrnoon, when his attending phvsician
found him rapidly Linking, and he diod
at about 6 o'olock. The immediate cau.sc of
' hid death was paralysis of tho heart, the
> rosult of an attempt at suicide fin the night
first mentioned, at which tirao ho took large
. doses of strrchnino and corrosive sublimate
which fact he concealed fro.n his physician
until lust Thursday. The overdose of poison
at the time produced violent vom'ting, which
> saved hi* life for the time, but Iris concoal<
meut of the fact for so long a time, during
which tho poison was operating on hi* system,
1 made the subsequent efiorts of his physician
> tosavehimof no avail.
Having been constrained by the publicity
Riven to these facts on the streets lust night <
to write this snd chapter, we can do no less
than point to tho moral it teaches.
A promising young life, with all the fair
promises and opportunities, has been blight,
ed by tho influence of the saloon and the
gaming tablo ; and as long as their balaful
influence is permitted to contaminate tho mor- '
al atmosphurs of our community the sad
story will from time to time have to be repeated
of one bright and promising boy after I
another, Otoe hope aud stay of nonored parent*,

ilibit* thing, this frightful thill's ttnit eomeK
111 Cincinnati about Dr. !. M. Armstrong,
e Cincinnati papers, the Umiii irtr am
xt, that have comc here have full accounts
it a gentleman, registered at Hunt's Hotel
.!.(?. Armstrong, became intoxicated und

.be minister who-looks so much like Wilkes
Dili, and who has made a rem likable im- H
tsssion here for eloquence and ability. The
y is very much stirred up. Whether true H
false, I repeat, the case is a distressing H
). If true, it is u lanienlable fall of a giftod H
n, and will shock and grieve every right- H
ling person. If it it false, it is uu appal- I
g tiling to so slander a good man. The matter I
tie a night or two ago by telegraph to the I
uitit u!inn from a party of whoiu sudieient I
s not known to warrant in'niving publicity
so serious a narrative, 'the matter was
lortcd to the vestry of the church. Two ?=?
nlle have gone to Cincinnati, leaving last g!
(lit, to look into the matter and give B
tlientic information as the basis for church n
Lion. There is profound feeling here and E
church is deeply concerned. Nothing I
s been heard from the committee who ar
ed in Cincinnati.
I sincerely trust that the statement may
i?ve to be false. There may bo some misken
identity. The friends of the minister

the gentleman. The Enquirer de- j
ribes him correctly, except that it states a;
in to be six feet three inches high. This is al
correct. Things seem absolutely incredible 3,
absolutely so. The Doctor's life here has ni
