The Public Printing.

The Columbia correspondent of the
Charleston Courier, writes as follows
concerning this deliberate robbery of
the Treasury by the radical members
of the Legislature. The Constitution
which these same individuals adopt
ed, a few months ago, provides that
all work of this character shall be
given out by contract:
Thus far, only one job has been
fixed up-the public printing
which, by the concurrent resolution
OF the two Houses, was Yesterday
awarded to Mr.. j. W. Denny, OF
Charleston, under circumstances
which are worth ventilating, rs
affording fair indication of what is
likely to be done in the .'jobbing"
line, and what taxpayers may expect
to pay for the luxury of having a
reconstructed Legislature.
There were three competitors for
this printing j. W. Denny, one
General Pierce, a Republican adven-
turer, who mado one of your Fourth
of July speeches on the Citadel
Green, and Mr.. Julian A. Selby, of
the Phgnir, who has been State
Printer since the close of the war.
Mr.. Denny, who is in af1iliation with
the dominant party, and did the
printing for the Convention, was
naturally the favoritc, and, when
the proposition to employ q printer
temporarily, until an election could
be held, was made, his offer was
rushed incontinently and unques-
toned through the Senate. On the
strength of this, he brought up n
small quantity of material and q
press from Charleston, and, having
located in the vicinity of the Legis-
!iature, applied himself industriously

EducatIon In tho State.

In this connection we are pleased
to note the fact that efforts are now
making to place Furman University
upon firm basis. Since the war
ended, under great disadvantages, the
faculty have managed to keep this
valued institute open. But now
special aid is demanded to prevent
its fires from going out. Its Presi-
dent, DR.. Furman, and Prof. Ian
neau, have been appointed to repre-
sent the claims of the University,
and we hope that they will find a
response from all denominations.
For though this University is under
Baptist auspices, yet we know that
its teachings are not sectarian.
Another institution that deserves
notice is Woford College. Although
greatly injured in its resources, by
the late war, this College is still
earnestly at work. Its commence
ment recently took place. The COM
mencement sermon was preached by
the eloquent DIR. Whitefoord Smith.
Prof. DuPre delivered the annual
address before the Calhoun and the
Preston Literary Societies, and after
wards came off the regular COM
mencement exercises.
The speakers were: Elias B. Can
non, Spartanburg; Barham w. Fos-
ter, (son of Senator Foster Spartan
burg; w. @. Kirkland, Richard D.
Smart, Beaufort. All of whom
are represented as acquitting them
selves well. This ended the tbir-
teenth commencement of the Col
lege. We wish both Furman
University and Wofford College
abundant success. They have able
and excellent officers, and refined
communities in which they are
located. In connection with the
Furman University, we must not
omit to state that the academic de-
partment is in q fourishing condi-
ton. This department is in charge
of that efficient teacher and thorough
disciplinarian, Prof. J. B. Patrick,
well-known as an officer Of the late
Arsenal Academy of this city.

CHARLESTON, S. G., July II, 1861
The impulse given by the late Demo
cratic Convention to the better ener-
gies of the people of the State are
finding an echo in the action of the
Legislature now in session, and will
not fail to prove to the negro that,
however he is told to the contrary,
he will find the Southern whites, De-
mocrats though called, both able and
willing to appreciate honesty and
good will on their part. They are
beginning now to find out that the
few renegade whites who lead and
fawn on them, nre only doing so be-
cause they imagine that to be the
course most conducive to their inte-
rests.
If the Legislature will only act
cautiously and wisely, they will find
their best friends among their for
mer masters, and will see that if
honesty is not to be found in the
party called Democrat, that there
will hardly be any use to search for
it under radical banners. We be-
lieve the day not far distant when
they will cast party feelings and
names aside, and vote for those men
who stand high for merit and states.
manlike ability. The hubbub raised
around the name of Grant, cannot
last long; he is not the man calcu-
lated to sustain it, for the negro
knows, as we'll as the Southern
whites, that Grant and his army
never whipped the South, but the
South whipped herself. She grew
tired of the war, and gave up of her
own accord. If that was not so, why
did not Grant take Richmond when he
tried so hard in the summer? When
almost every man in General Lees
army had left, Grant, with his lOO.-
600 men, marched and took Rich
mond; this required no second Napo-
leon to do it. His career shows
nothing that he has ever done or
said which raises him above ordinary
men. His friends, who expect somo-
thing from him, praise him and run
him for the Presidency. But sup
pose he is elected? He will be a
mere puppet in the hands of other
men. And, if the Government at
last must be managed by an ADLER
man, why should not the people cast
their vote for that man in whose
honesty and tried ability they put
most trust. We, here. believe it will
be done; and believe, also, that the
negro is the one who will take rs ac-
tive part in it as any other class.
South Carolinians, whites and ne
groes, love their State. and when SO
much is ut stake rs the fall elections
cover, party feelings will be laid
aside, and white and black will walk
to the polls and there fearlessly do
their duty to themselves, their coun-
try and their State.
