Id the report from this Department tho Commissioner recommends that power be granted by the Legislature to employ an immigration agent; that improved varieties of seeds be pur chased for distribution among the far ? 'Itters of the State ;flhat an expetimcn Lal farm be established under the di " faction of tha Bureau; that an asscs ? eor be appointed in each towuship ol the State to receive returns for the "Department; and that a special ap . propriution be made to meet the ex rpensesof these recommendations. ? The affairs of this department are ' "-evidently controlled by an energetic ' and competent ofllcer and, if properly ? supported by the Legislature and peo ple, may do much for the advance' " mentof the Agricultural interest ol the State. An immigration agent ?'< alone, if nn active ollker with tho i necessary ^experience, may work out a more prosperous future titan wo now dare hope for under our present circumslances. That laborjis uurelia ' i)lc and will continue.s?>, cannot b denied : and a reform not only in the character of the laborer but the quali ty ol his work is needed through out the Slate. Politics have had the effect of antagonizing capital and labor to the serious detriment of our leading industries. This must be corrected either by affiliation of the present la borers with the dominant party or by the introduction of others who will act with it. Either remedy is slow in its action but whether the desired result can be effect sooner by the one or the other, is for our Legislators to determined. Because our agiicultur el products are greater now than ever in the past, is no sufficient reason they cannot be made slili greater by a moro reliable labor. There is a grand future for the South and we hope it is not fill in the distance, A live Agricultural Department may do much lo bring it on. - ?- ? mm ? The School Department. Superintendent Hugh S. Thompson gives in his annual report a most en couraging account of the department under his charge. There lias been a gradual increase in the number ol pi pils attending the public schools each year to the present lime. Ibtr ring the last year there were 131,072 pupils in attendance, 8,171 teachers employed and 6351 ,<1 l?,f>0 expend ed' He recommends thnt'in addition to the present slate appropriation, each ?school District be authorized to levy and collect a local Inx for the special benefit of its own bchools. This sys tem pievnils in many localities and is found to givu most satisfactory re suits, und he thinks it will he equally successful in every county of the Slate. Mr. Thompson believes the present mode of selecting County School Commissioners by (lection biennially very ohj -oli mable, lie eatn-e it yields one of the chief obsta cles in tho way ol ihe Schools, the ut ter Incapacity of many of these olll ceiii. Notwithstanding this just oh jeclion, the mode ol selecting these ulllcers cannot be changed without an amend incut to the constitution. 11c advises that no pupils be admitted t<> the public Scliools other than those between the ages ol U and IG \ cars. The aid obtained from the I'eabody Fund was appropriated to the expen ses of the formal Institute at Spar tuntmrg. During the nux.t school year two of these lu-s.itules are pro posed lo be held, one lor whiles and the otlu r for the coloic.il teachers, and an additional amount of money i asked lor lo d fray the expenses. There aie now within the limit- ol the State 3,331 Colleges and public ami priva e scliools at which u,e < |,|| dien are I ruined and Ibis number is not si llieu nt for the necessities of th state. Ait incrsnso in uumbci and I |hVh ncy is w-ry desirable. Let Time Deoide It. The excitement, occasioned by the bitter partisanship in tho late elec tion, having partially subsided our citizens arc settling down to hard work and sober thought. We were led by the press and political speak ers to bclieve Hint the gentleman who has been elected President of the Uni ted Stales for the next four years, was a bribetaker, a perjurer, a bitter partisan and a vile slanderer; but now we are told through the same channels that be bears an unstained character and is a Christian gentle man, a gallant soldier, a wise states man and a noble patriot. That these conflicting'reports, concerning a high otlicial of the government, need to be submitted to the arbitrimcut of time, is felt to bo a necessity by 5 every good citizen North or South. No man ever possessed belter opportunities to make himself great thau Mr. Gar Held possesses; and no man, not even Mr. Hayes, shall so iguotnin ously fail as he, if these opportunities . be allowed to pass unimproved. ? Thc'South owes nothiug to the Re publican party but scorn and haired and expects nothing from its repie scntative as a Republican. The character given him by friends and the published sentiment of the North, however, lilts Mr. Garilcld above partisanship1, ami from that character the South expects even , thing- fair dealing, good government reform where it is needed and still more competent officers to fill nation al position in our section. Whether these just expectations shall he rea lized is left lor time lo decide. In the mean while let charity hide the errors until the decision shall be made. Inauguration. Gov. Hagood was inaugurated in the Hall of the Representatives on ln*it Tuesday at 1 P. M. in the pres ence of bot h houses, several of tho Stale ami United Stales Judges and U large assemblage of citizens. Chief ?Justice Simpson aduiinisleicd the oath of office in a most solemn ami impressive manner and so hushed was every sound that tho\fall of a pin Could havo been heard. After sub scribing to the Oath Guv. Hugo.) I do liyered his inaugural address wh oh was brief, to the point, eminently practical anil suggestive. Being a business man (iov. Hagood will ad minister the government on business principles. To Our Patrons. The season of the year has come when money is more abundant, and wc hope it will not be out of place to ! call upon all delinquent subscribers lo ' come . forward and pay up. Some j have already done so, and of course j this notice is not intended for them. '? We arc opposed to dunning through tin: columns ofn newspaper; hut we ! arc in need of what is due us. and we ', have uo other way of reminding out j delinquent friends of their obligation. I If we did not need the money this no j ticc wouhl not appear. We hope every one of our readers will take the ] right view of this request and forward ! the amount of their subscription with out delay, we have performed our part of the contract faithfully. "ETated. I The results of the late election have j been so gratilying to the Republicans ; North that they have been infused wilh a new zeal for the good of the 'party. In order to secure the control , of the South, a proposition has been i made to rain? 8250,000 for the purpose i I of establishing newspapers through-! j out that section. This is certainly ; u spec'cs of political charity we did j : not expect, hut doubtle s is welcome; news lo the Radicals of South Caroli-i Ina.
