"We hang our banners on tho outward walls." Supposing that thc State accepts tho Fort Hill property, and builds uponjthe'site a great Institution, for teaching the science and art of agri culture, tho question naturally arises, fromjwhat classkrf citizens' will thc studente of t his college ?come? ???The advococyVif ^thcfjcolloge, com ing from what ls knowu as a Farmer's movement, (and which professes to bo representative Y>f thcjpoorjnnd (oppress - ed,) certainly leads Jthe public to con clude that'thc"collego;is to be"for the education of thej?sonsJTof men who earn breodaby<jthe?sweatJJof their faces. It appears to us, however, that there are obstacles interfering with4the com plete fulfilment of this idea, which the farmers should askj^hoir|lcndor.s|to>c movefbefbro they build their college with ballots in thc coming primaries. If thc expenses of a boy at the Ag ricultural College bc fifty or a hun dred dollars a year, and cotton is worth forty dollars a bale, can a far mer who lives on rented land, or wl?o runs a ono or two-horse farm of his own, taking this money from thc rest of bia family, afford to give it for two or four successive years to a son just getting old enough to support himself by his own labor? This is evidently not the case in Mississippi and Michigan, or the stu dents in their agricultural colleges would be numbered by thousands in stead of hundreds. If thc expenses at tho Agricultural College be abso lutely nothing, thc avorage farmer can no*, sparc cyen tho labor of his son. Are not our public schools it!? most disbanded at certain seasons ol' the year because tho very littlo chi!, dren must be at homo and nt work? This class of men constitute tim majority of farmers in South Caro, lina, and they are those whose bal lots count. Now, tho Agricultural College will ho?p a oin?? of gentlemen win run their plantations with cheap negro labor, and who own brood acres, but tbeso aro not farmers, although they aro interested in a Farmer's Move ment. When a man ceases to be bor of his own hands, at that mo- j men*, he ceases to be a farmer, and 1 becomes a planter and lend'.ordeap- ' Hallst. Now when farmers bcild an Ag- | rieultural College, they simply take j steps to odllCAlO their overseers. It seems to as that there is very little diirerenco between our Farmer's Movement, and a Landlord's Trust, organized by thc members to help themselves,-perhaps to help sonni to political pie. Th^re is a gentleman ia Newberry.! who claims only a molest part in the Fanner's Movement, yet who was actually ..raised on a farm :" , whose ' reports on the suhjeot roceiv ed notice In both Europe and Amer ica." Did the farmers ever guess that ! tic may bo ambitious to instill his , i Huronean ideas into their sons, as president of the Clemsons College, thaf is, if his independence conquer his modesty ; modesty which, bye the bye. kept hirn out of South Caroli na's Reform Mo vernen', ii the very day of its triumph. If the phosphate royalty is paid hy the thc farmer, at least half is paid by the negro farmer. If it ; must 'jo to agricultural education, common honesty must give thc dar? kev a separate agricultural college also, that is, if ho ever 'gets a Mu? niilccnt Request. Th?

During tho debate on tho hill for tho admission of Dakota Into tho Union a tanntleg remark hy Senator Edmunds drew fi m Renator Vest, of Missouri, tho retort that lt wo?

Tliis audacious assertion was at one? met by Senator Vest with the question why Packard, who received for governor of Louisiana a larger number of votoa than Hayes received fer president, was thrown out of office and sent a;i consul to Liverpool, while1 Hayes was sworn In os president of the Uultotl State*. "I hivo beanl." continued Mr. Vent, "tho ablest Republican tn this country, tho foremost tn overy combat for thc Itepubllcan party and Its supremacy-I have hoard ILKSCOO I Oonkllllg say upon this floor thot lt was by fraud that Hayes came to bo presi dent. " Mr. Vost waked up a Dost of enakce. Tho old memories carno crawling out of their boree, tliu old" Impudent pretense?, tho old defiant tusarte to right and justice and co ramon eeueo. It happens that sev eral of the uiovt conspicuous actors In tho conspiracy of tho great fraud aro Itepab Ucau members of tho senate: Edmunds, the creator of tho ?lectoral commission; Hoar, a member of thc Infamous eight, Sherman, tho visiting statesman and mo.ii aging man in Louisiana and tho discoverer of Eliza Pink S ton? Hawley, a member ol tho second Louisiana commission, charged by Hay..? with tho arrangement of tho Packard difficulty; and ("handler, of Now Hampshire, whoso fertile brain first grasped tho possibilities of tho situation on the early morning after the day when Tilden was elected, and who completed In Florida the work which he bogan at thc Fifth Avenue hotel In this town. They all bivi their say concerning their respec tive parts lu tho fraud of 1870? and the fpmilt was that a considerable part of the time of the senate on Tuesday, Wodnes day and Thursday of loiit week was taken up by this unexpected overhauling of shameful history. The whole story was spread again upon the record for tho benefit of tho latent generation of voters, down to the very bust hush money paid hy John Sherman to tho negro Casenave three years after tho consummation of tho crime, and to the list of conspirators, accomplices, princi pal and Bubordiliato, who were rewarded with publie office by Hayes and Sherman., at an annual cost of $223,000 to the treasury of the United States. Yel not ?ne of the defender:) and tip hoblers of tho fraud answered tho plain question asked by Senator Vest, of Mis souri. Not one of them could satisfac torily explain why, if Hayes was fairly and honestly elected as president, Packawl was not tho legal governor of Louisiana. With great force Mr. Vost totalled the memorable warning of Mr. blaine: "You discredit Packard and you discredit Hayes. Von hold that Packard Ls not the legal governor of Louisiana and you hold that Hayes hos rio title." Wo should IXJ glad to announce that In tho Bober VIOWH of eleven years after, and under tho chastening Iniluoaco of politi cal vicissitudes, rome ono of these pr luci lia) actors In the crime of 1*70 showed signs of remorse.
