They were then guarded by two companies OF
enlisted soldiers, principally foreigners, at an
expense to the State of $4,000 per annum.-
The guard thus raised and paid, did not COM
mand entire confidence in the position in which
they were placed, and hence, when the crcu-
lars issued by Gov. Butler were responded to,
the subject Of converting the Citadel and Arse
nal into military schools, and requiring the
professors and pupils to guard the public prop
erty, (among other things was also brought up,
and, although not acted on for years after, the
scheme had been spoken Of and was working
its way to public favor. And,it may be that
Gov. Richardson first conceived the idea, and,
to him may belong the HONOR but, it is very
certain that the subject was agitated many
years before his election, iii 1910.
Much credit is certainly due to Gen. Jamison
for his report and his plan Of organization, and
to Gen. Jones for his suggestions, and the part
he bore in carrying out the details by which
these valuable institutions were brought into
successful operation, an honor andan ornament
to the State, tower of defence to her institu-
tons, and nursery of efficient officers and
soldiers in times of peril and danger. Further,
they have given rise to kindred schools in the
country, tending to the like sslutary influence.
Gov McDufic gave the impetus in this di-
rcction; Gov. Butler, Gov. Richardson, Gen'ls
Jam1son and Jones have all acted their part
We have the institutions, and yield to them the
honor. @i. JUSTICE

WHAT IT HAS BROUGHT HIM TO,

A day or two since our attention
was attracted, while sitting in the
Police Court, to Il miserable looking
specimen Of humanity who occupied
the prisoner. bench. His face WAS
bloatcd and his eyes %bloodshot, and he
gazcd about the room with a vacant
stare, hardly realizing his position and
scarcely aware that he WAS a prisoner
and about to be tried for IN alleged
oiirnsc against the laws. lie seemed
oblivious to all passing events. and
when his ease was called, awOkc, AZ
it were, with y start, and looked up at
the Judge with AN expression on his
features bordering upon idiocy.
There WAS something in this face,
bloadcd, bcgrimrd and blcared rs it
was, which we thought we recognized,
Notwithstanding the name the prisoner
gave was entirely strange to US. We
caught him looking at US. and while
our eyes rested upon his, memory WAS
busy trying to recall the time and
place that face had been known to US,
but it was not until the prisoner spoke,
in answe to some interrogatOry from
the Judge, that the fact US to who the
defendant really was come to our
mind.
We had known him in other days,
but oh! what u different person "a he

THE SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY.

or all the matters of'importance

tion of tho people Of Franklin county,
tho establishment of the University Of
,he South in our midst is the most i'm.
p~ortant, and ought to interest especi-
ally ell our ~ciiizens. 1t is a mighty
addition to our county, and we feel AZ
confident today Of its success AS we
AT" confident Of our existence. Like
all other great enterprises, when first
sei on foot, it was looked upon by
many as a thing more talked Of than
destined to DO carried out. But such
Is not no. 1t was originated by a man
who kaAD what he was undertaking.
and n6bly has Bishop Polk pursued
this darling project until the realiza-
ton of all he hoped for seeIDs now
about to crown his efforts. And those
who have kindly come to his assis'
lance know no such word AS fail
Under many disadvantages, and de-
spite the croakings Of some who were
not led on by the most exalted motives,
the Bishops and laymen Of the Epis-
copal Church have persrvered in this
noble work until the pseudo.ohjections
Of all persons have been removed and
confluence has supplanted doubt. Al
ready the true State of Louisiana has
come up with material aid to this Uni
versity. Thirty men, as n body, in
this State, have subscribed 100000,
and at this time about half a million
has been subscribed in Louisiana
alone. This is indeed cheering. and
if the other nine States in this matter
will only do half as well as Louisiana
will do, the full amount requisite will
be raised in u very brief while. for,
rs yet, tho public have not been ap.
pealed to or any anvass made.
In view of all this, we do hope and
firmly believe, that the citizens of
Franklin county will hold themselves
ready and willing, at any time to do
what they u to help on an enter
prise that will undoubtedly result far
more 10 their interest than tho most
sanguine Of any of them have ever
yet dreamed.
1t is our intention to pursue this
subject further. A second report has
been issued by the Bishops, and will
be published in the Home Journal 40
soon as VIC a procure copy. The
first report we have already publish
cd, and have had the maps that &C.
co!ppanied it nicely framed aud var
