Tar SOUTH CAROLINA UNIvERsITY.-Thls noble
institution commences another term tomorrow.
The students are arriving by every train, and we
learn from various sources that large accession
will be shown by the next years catalogue. The
number estimated is about l5O; but asyet, 1t s i'm
possible to give exact figures.
There is certainly no college in the entire South
which offers such inducements to youth bent on
the acquircments OF the highest attainnents like
this ancient Alma Mater OF majority OF our lead
inc men. In the law, in medicine, in classics,
provision has been made by the state Tor the EN-
ploymcnt OF the ablest Professors and there is no
where to be found associations ana lnnuences
more conducive to the improvement OF the intellect
and the development Of the purest impulses OF man.

PERsoNA1.--Dr. Darby, one OF the Professors OF
the Medical Department OF the Universlty, Is ex-
pected to return from Europe during the present
month. Gen. John S. Preston will probably arrive
about the same time.-[ Columbia Chronicle.
BROKE JA1L.-Nine freedmen succeeded in effect
ing their escape from District jail, last night
Letween and 10 o'clock. They cut their way
through the floor IF the building, descending into
the ceer underneath, and thence grabbed them
selves into the Lark and an adjoining yard, and are
now doubtless bent on some fresh errand OF dePre-
dation. Our efficient Chief Of Police, l.. j. Rad
cliffe and his vigorous assistants. gave immediate
pursuit out had failed up to an early hour this
morning-1 o'clock to report success in their cap
ture. They were confined principally On charges

ORGANIZING JUR1Es.-Troubles begin to thcken.
The new Order No. 80 makes it imperative that
uries shall conslsr of those who have. paid taxes
and registered. The Clerk of the Court applies to
the Boards Of Registration for permission to ex-
aminc their lsts and compare them with the tax
list He is refused. Application is then made to
the military. The military authorities out OF
Charleston have no authority to order registrars to
open their valuables to anybody, and the Clerk is
in despair He sees no chance OF getting up q
jurv in accordance With the order, and therefore
t.erc can be no Court. Isn't il o remarkably pret

CouRT.-Our Fall Term OF the Court OF Common
Pleas commence on next Monday week. There
seems to be some doubs whether much business
will be dispatched as q new jury has not been
drawn in accordance with Military orders on his
subject This is unfortunate, as there are several
crimin = in Jail awaiting trial. and it will be a
hardshi;: to keep them in confinement until next
Spring. Why does not our Governor or some of the
Judges issue the necessary order for the drawing
OF now juries from revised lists.

RETURN DAY.-Last Saturday WAS return day fol
this District. There were about seventy-fye cases
returned quite small number for Marlborough.
Last Fall over six hundred cases were sued. We
hope our people are either compromising or as.
| ranging their debts in some way, as the small
return last wcok seems TO indicate. At the prices
OF cotton, however, our people cannot pay nlucA On
| old or row debts.--[ Beanensuile Journal
