The status o the trustees ??* political lines was cu? riously divided. Upon adjourning, al 4 o'clock, the trustees indicated that thc main %ht was to come on the question of the standard of admission. It wat stated that no professors would ix elected an til next Jocu?, but, that the board would indicate to the io cum beni professors whether they were to remain or not. They were decided that those competent should remain and those tba! were not should go. The board met again at. 6 o'clock, and instead of taking op the reports af ooce as expected, proceeded immediate? ly to the electroo of the professors. The results are given below : Chair of mathematics-Prof E. W. Davis. ^ *^?? ->_r{ Chair of o^j^i^^oa^i^ aod as? tronomy-Prof. Benjamin Sloan. Chair of biology, geology and miner? alogy-Dr. J. M.

Chair of law-Professor Joseph Dan? iel Pope.-: - The Chair of ancient languages was not filled, and the filling was postponed until Jooe. The adjunct io this de? partment was also not, elected. Tba fight for the?.position. JrTfce^weeo 'Dr. Patton aod Pref. Murray, aid'the indi? cations are that a new man will fill the position andfce*h'jb>^efcofft. . -? The selection of the professor of mod? ero languages was also postponed until June. Dr.^9jvj^i8: the o ti ly appli? cant before the bo?r<^ and too reason he was irrot^Cte?nasv- night was-that there was a considerable question as to the amount of work. He will undoubt? edly be elected to the chair next June. For the chair of geology, mineralogy, sod biology, aod consequently the pre? sidency of the institution, Drs. Mc? Bryde and Woodrow, were before the board. Several members raised the ob? jection to Dr. Woc?frow'that be could not give his entire time, to the duties of the chair. ?D^^bo?rd communicated with Dr. Woodrow oo this subject and he sent a letter to the effect that he could ootgive his time to the duties. Consequently Dr. McBryde was elected. But for th? the race might have been a close ooo, as Dr. Woodrow bad many friends on the board. The members-of the old faculty left out are as follows: Professor E. E. Sheib, chair of pedagogies-chair abol? ished. Professor J. W. Alexander, professor of Logic-chair abolished. Professor James Woodrow, professor of geology. These are out entirely. Professors Joyces, Patton and Murray stiirhave a ebaoce, but at least one, ao4pr|iajo^?^^ thea? wilt" be re? tired. There are a comber of tutors and assistant professors who are also oot. The two reports as to tho plan were never brought op sod after the election the courses ot study sod she standard of admission was referred to the executive committee composed of Dr. McBryde, Superintendent of Education Mayfield, W. A. Clark, Esq., sod Justices Mc? iver aod .McGowan. This committee is to report to a meeting of the board to be held in Jane aext. - Dr. Coffin's 0Re|rfy. Yi?Mo^ Deft-nee <jf the Insane Asylurri Management. The reply. o*f Snperttrtendent Griffin of the State Insane Asylum to the chargea made against bis management of the asylum by the legislative inves? tigating committee has been pub-i>hrd : Dr Griffin says: **l have an in be-I rent right to say that justice bas been dffl?edure..^fe?wc?i?udcmned without an opportunity of plea and of defense, without the semblance of trial, without knowledge of the charges aud specifi? cations preferred ag?iust me ; without a place for confronting the accusing wit? nesses and without testimony in my behalf. Under such singular and un? toward eruditions, I can nave no ade? quate-answer to- submit to the board save that of general deuial and my demand for a fair and impartial investi? gation of these charges according to the approved forms of trial." Dr. Griffin compares his duties to those Of a commander of a brigade of ; soldiers. "Bp?r? ?fficVr; in charge of tfee in8ane^>the duty of supplying ftate?ligeuce aa^elljas enforcing;joli8cip foro^orde??^ "':? ' He dwella??Outne system of "non re jsraint," and says it is not right to im? peach the superintendent for the killing of one patient by another "under the eye, at the very elbow touch of an at? tendant trained to aod charged witb the duty of preventing- the tragedy," and that the superintendent can not right? fully be answerable "beyond the careful selection and discipline of the attendant and- general supervision of the opera? tions of the establishment." Concerning the De Naro case, Griffin "says DeNaro struck Dr. Kershaw while the attendant was within touch of him, and that the utmost vigilance of the attendant perhaps could not bave avert? ed the tragedy. "The attendant in fault, though generously exhooerated by the committee wao instantly dis? charged from employment. ;?VA8 to t?e patient Milne having a key which fitted the doors?* of the female wards in the now building, Dr. Griffin says when informed of it, be at once caused it to be taken from bim. "To my great regret," says he, "I have deemed it my duty to subject the patient to close custody, which renders his case al most hopeless cf cure/7 Dr. Griffin ?aya "in reference to -such inci cidents as these, I have to repeat that under the most perfect system and the severest discipline, especially where the rule of non-restraint is in operation, they are inevitable." The reply is very lengthy. It would make six columns. Accompanying it is a short statement from President Taylor, of the board of regents, saying as to the general management of the institution : "We confidently challenge comparison with the records of any insane asylum in any State of the union." The Judges Tried, By a Jury of the State Newspapers, and Found Guilty of Slander. Denington Herald. Dr. Griffin, the Superintendent of the asylum, has published a very temperate and comprehensive defense of the (marges preferred against him by the investigating committee, and clearly demonstrates that he was treated with injustice, in that no specifications were presented to him. Dr. Griffin is one of the ablest physicians in the State, and ts a man of unblemished integrity, and this committee owe it to themselves, to either make good these charges, or have .the candor to withdraw them. He asks for a thorough and impartial investiga? tion, and it is bot a mere act of justice, that it should be accorded bim. Pickens Sentinel. Dr. Griffin, Superintendent of the Insane Asylum, has submitted his an? swer to the charges of the investigating committee. It is endorsed by the Board of Regen ts, and shows that'the man? agement of that institution bas been conducted in (be best possible manner. It looks as if the asylum management bad the best of the committee so far, and they will, have to try their hand again before they can find cause for the dismissal of the present incumbents at that institution. Anderson Intelligencer. In all fairness to himself, Dr. Griffin should have been allowed to attend the examinaCion of witnesses, to cross-ex? amine them if he desired, and td put np witnesses for bis own defense. This is a right vouchsafed to the lowest crimi? nal for the slightest offense in any court of the laud. - In hi? report co the Board of Regents, Dr. Griffin justifies most reasonably his administration of an institution contain? ing nearly 900 crazy people-a greater number of souls than can be found in -any town in. Anderson County, except? ing not more than two. A few d?plor? able occurences have taken place ; but an old proverb says truly that accidents happen in the best regulated of families, even where the nnmbcrs are small and all are sane persons. Darliogtoo News. Dr. Griffin, a native of Darlington County, one of the most popular men in the State, and one of the most dis? tinguished members of his profession in the Sooth, has been tried behind his back and condemned without even being allowed to know what charges were made agaiust him. Denied the privi? lege cf facing- his accusers-a right vouchsafed under the law to the most hardened criminal, his case was passed apon by judges whose conduct showed only too strougly that they "preferred bis room to bis company," and who, in order to accomplish their purpose did net hesitate io accept the testimony of employees whom the superintendent bad discharged. These '^?^01130106^' proceedings might have done well enough for the sixteenth century, but they will baldly receive the sanction of a fair-minded, liberty-loving people. Of all the groas conduct of which the administration bas been guilty since its accession to power the "asylum investigation" has been the worst. Under the plan adopted by the "investigators" of examining dis? charged employees and those laboring ander imaginary grievances, without affording the defendant the opportunity of disproving their statements, any business man io this community, no matter how high his character, could be convicted of every crime in the deca? logue. Calm, dignified tod forcible in his reply, Dr. Griffin scored some excellent points again tb his accusers, and his ar tiole will carry coo vi ct io o to all who read it. He shows among other things, by reference to the notes of the ste? nographer taken down at the time, that Governor Tillman promised to afford him every opportunity of cross examining the witnesses and disprovine their statements. If the stenographer's report is correct, therefore, the Gov? ernor has deliberately-well, he has committed an act which might have been expected of Capt B R Tillman, but which iii becomes the Chief Magis? trate of proud old South Carolina. -?rn* - Bucklen's Arnica Salve* The Best ?nlva io tbe world for Cuts, Bruise* Sores.

PE VRE PORCHER, M. D , May 5-jiue 3--- Recording Sec. Victimized Two Banks. JACKSONVILLE. May 8.-It leak? ed out to-day that 'wo banks here, the Merchants' National and the State Bank of .'Florida," were victims of sleek forgeries of one T C. Kellog. The forger is hy profession an artist. He paints on seashells, souvenirs, and sometimes on canvass In March be came from St. Augustine, and took a room at a private house, and remained there for ahout three weeks Then he went to the hot?! Placide and got a job. He tdd Mr. Tiechler, the proprietor of the hotel, several times that he had a claim tn Charlotte, N. C., which was being settled, and wheo this was done, he woald give up his job. Friday last be got Fisher and another acquaintance to identify him at the batiks, where he presented checks drawn ! on the First National B*nk of Char? lotte, N. C., signed S. YVittskowsky. The checks were all "O K * d." by the banks. The forger had got up a rubber stamp for the special purpose, and using red ink had impressed on tbs face of the checks "certified, J. R Holland, cashier. Merchants and Farm? ers National bank. Charlotte, N. C." Mr Holland's name was forged in red ink also One check for ?835 was cashed by the Merchants' National bank, and one for $750 by the National bank of the state. These checks were forwarded to New York, and thence to Charlotte. The banks here receiving word last night that both checks were clever forgeries. Bemoval.

Absolute protection is guaranteed to poli? cy-holders in our companies by reason of the large paid up capital, assests and resources of the Companies. THE Fenn Mutual Life taralee Co.. Life Rate Endowment Plan. The plau of [bis desirable form of insurance is as follows: .The rates of premium, payable in cash, are the same as for ordinary life policies ; and ihe surplus, or dividend, is ap? portioned annually upon the same basis. This surplus is each year retained by the Company, and interest allowed thereon at the average rate earned by it upon its assets. When the accumulated surplus and the "re? serve." maintained upon the policy (according to the rom ni ned experience of mortality and four per cent, interest)t ?hall equal the face of Vie policy, that amount will be paid to the insured. At the death of the insured the amount of the policy will be paid to the beneficiary. If such death occurs after the policy has been in force five years?. the amount ;of rhe policy. togetber with the outstanding accumulated surplus and interest, will be paid. This is a specially distinctive feature.of the PENN MUTUAL policies-original with it, and guaranteed by no other company. After the insured has been a member five full years, the accumulated surplus and inter eat can be used, if desired, ia payment of fu? ture premiums ; at his option, however, later surplus, or dividends, may remain with the Company and the endowment feature be thus resumed. If the insured, after the second annual pay? aient has been made, desires to surrender his policy, a paid-up non-participating life policy will be issued for an equitable amount, the same as upon the ordinary Life Plan; and ii he should fail to apply for such paid-up in? surance, within the time named in the policy, be will, under the non-forteitiug rule of the Company, have the full amount of insurance carried for the time which the full legal value of the policy, at time of non-payment will extend it. The time in which policies issued upon this plan will mature as endowments, cannot be definitely stated. This d^peuds something upon the age of the insured at issue (toe older the ?ge the gieiter ttl? ''reserve" and the more rapid the accumulation^, and largely upon the amount of surplus earned each year by the policy. This surplus is contingent upo? the Htuotint of death claims, expense- of management, nnd. the interest realized.?pon investment. I ti all three of these ttf'e ex? perience of the PEN.> has been roost favorable. The Ofiicial Reports show the PENN MUTUAL to be one of the leading companys in the country. Its returns of surplus have been more in number ?nd of larger average per cent, than tho.<e of any other. There is no reason to doubt it will maintain its high stHfidard of ex'-ellencf. If so, the term of the Endownment will be shorter than in any other company issuing similar policies. A. C. PHELPS, Agent, SUMTER, S. C.
