Tba trustees of the Sooth Carolina
College will meet on the 23rd and it is
generally thought that Professor J. M.
McBryde, the present chairman of the
fae ai ty, will be elected president. His
control of the, college bas given com- j
satisfaction to all interested in the j
I, and it is said that the stu- j
! dents bad some time ago got up a peti?
tion to the trustees for his election to
the presidency, but were induced to
withhold it. The former president,
Hon. Wm. Porcher Miles, is now in

greatly Kissed in this community, his
courtly, urbane manners and true no?
bility of soul won all who came in con?
tact with- bim ; he is truly a gentleman
of the lold school/ and we trust South

THE- BOSTON EXHIBITION.
Whether or ?ot there shall be a dis?
play of the resources of this State at the
Boston Exhibition this fall, and the ad?
vantages to be derived therefrom, has
been generally discussed for some time
past. It is now time that action should
be taken. The Exhibition will open
Sept. 5th, and in order to make the
proper classification, applications for
space are requested to be made by
Joly 1st.
The Columbra Board of Trade has
takes tbe initiative, having raised a
fand of ?500 for the purpose, and the
city council is expected to add a like
sam. Charleston's Chamber of Com?
merce is abo very enthusiastic upon the
subject, and will iucrease the amount.
The people of Greenville are moving,
and at a meeting of the business men
of that city held on the 25tb inst., the
following resolutions were adopted :
"Resolved, That tbe business men of
; the city of Greenville are io thorough
and active sympathy with the move?
ment inaugurated by the Board of
Trade of Columbia, to secure foi this
State a place at the exhibition at Boston
in September, and will given all the aid
they possibly can to promoting its suc?
cess.
"Resolved, That the Chairman of
this meeting, with fonr others, to be
appointed by himself, constitute a com?
mittee to communicate these proceed*
ings to the Columbia Board of Trade,
to call other meetings of tbe eitizens of
Greenville to consider the subject, and
] to do whatever else may be necessary to
j secure for the State the benefits of a
space at the exhibition."
No doubt other places in the State
will join in the movement, and why
should not Sumter take a hand. Al?
though what can be raised may look
small by the side of Columbia's and
Charleston's figures, yet it will be just
as good as far as it goes, and if every
county in the State will help a little,
South Carolina will be able to make a
showing that may pay ten-fold upon
the investment. Whatever is done
must bc by private enterprise alone,
there being no State funds available for
the purpose, and as the whole State is
expected to be benefited by attracting
men and money to help develop our re?
sources and make our lands more valua?
ble, tee should not be willing to sit down
quietly and wait for others to do their
part and ours too.
Wont somebody propose a meeting
during Court week to talk the matter
over? _
Death of Ex-Governor Jeter.
The Palmetto Yeoman of the 21st
says : A telegram was received in Co?
lumbia this morning announcing the
death of ex-Governor Thos. B. Jeter,
which occurred at his residence near
Union Court House yesterday at about
three o'clock in the affernoon. He had
been confined to bis room but a short
time, and the last intelligence preceding
that of the announcement of his death,
was that he was better. He was in
the 57th year of his age, and when
last here he apparently had the prospect
of many years of usefulness before bim.
The disease which terminated his life
was inflammation or consumption of the
bowels, which baffled the best medical
skill that could be reached.
The Great Colored Convention a
Fizzle.
A Washington special to the Rich?
mond State, says:
The colored convention, arranged by
Fred. Du gi ass to be held in this city,
has been repudiated in a meeting by the
colored men representing the Southern
States. There were fifty persons pre?
sent and an organization was effected
by the election of E. B. Wilborn, of
Mississippi, as Chairmau. W. K. Price,
of North Carolina, as Secretary, and
L. M. Brown, of Tennessee, as assis?
tant Secretary. A committee of one
from each Seate was appointed to draft
resolutions. Prof. Greener addressed
the meeting and explained that a few
men had undertaken to use the names
of a number of others without their
knowledge in order to get up a conven?
tion for certain political purposes, and
that these self appointed representatives
of the colored race were men who bad
stood aloof io the struggle of 187.V76,
and that the colored people should op?
pose sach a scheme. Other speeches
were made in the same tone, and it ap?
pears* that this was a representative
meiti jg of tho colored race in the
South. The resolutions reported to?
nally and emphatically repudiated the
Fred. Douglas call, and advised the
colored people not to scud delegates.
They were adopted without opposition.
This meeting evidently treated the
Fred. Douglass scheme as a smart trick
arranged to gerrymander the colored
vote of the South, and taking the Ma?
lone correspondence with Fred. Doug?
lass in connection with Douglass' move
and the Boss' recent tactics in Virginia
there seems to be DO doubt that Ma
hooe's characteristic methods were
operating to get up a colored conven?
tion of a few hundred men whom he and
Douglass could control, and thereby or?
ganize a boom to counteract the wavering
influonce of Mabone in Virginia. "The
man and brother" bas shown himself
smarter than was expected, and the
M a hone-Douglass combination is frustra?
ted badly, so far as the convention is
concerned.

To the Editor of Ute Times :
The tax-payers of this place held a large

The contemplated railroad from George?

It was resolved that the preceedings of this

I Poor fellows! Their bones rest
among us. their souls are in beaven,
but their glorious, deeds and manly
deaths, bave been forgotten by those
who ought remember and love them.
The soldier's grave is in our midst, but
no May floral memento marks it-no

The European Situation,

j are of opinion that llussia meditates a
j war with Germany in order to distract
! her malcontent population, who have
j dynamite on the brain. Germany has
j no special fear of llussia alone, but
j dreads France in the rear. France
i protests pacific feelings for Germany,
j but Bismarck, to make assurance doubly
j sure, forms an alliance offensive and de?
fensive with Austria and Italy. These
are the combinations full of peril for the
future and full of fate. The crowning
of the Czar is thought to bc a turning
point in this diplomacy. Europe is so
honeycombed with ?ecret political so?
cieties, at war with what is called es
I tablisbed order, that a volcanic distnr
! bance may bc reasonably predicted.

. tween the Great Powers, Socialism will

j final issue. The incendiary elements
j are so numerous and active that the

and coupbs and colds. In my own case thej
j have afforded me almost instant and perma
