DAVIDSON COLLEGE.

We are indebted to young friend, Mr.. J. b.
SMITH, of this county, for cards of invitation to
attend the Annual Celebration of the ugly Club"
of Davidson College, N. c., on the Oath of June
next, andthe Annual Representatives of the Philan-
throphic and Lumenean Societies Of that instiu-
tien. Among the committees and orators for these
occasions, we observe the names of several stu
dents from this State. 1t would afford us great
pleasure to be present at these Commencement
exercises, but we will be debarred the privilege.
The reputation of Davidson College is not inferior
to that of any similar institution in the South, and
we are rejoiced know of its success and advance
ment. The Universities of the two Carolinas have
received their death-blows, we fear, from the in
eonsiderate legislation of the present day, and 1t
is incumbent upon the white people to sustain
other institutions, not fettered by these unwhole-
some laws. 1t is morally impossible that the two
races are, to be commingled in the walks of educa-
tion and sooner or latter these progressive ideas
must topple to the ground. In the meantime, such
institutions as Davidson College will flourish and
grow apace.

Row AMoNu TIE CHARLESTON ALDEHMEN.-Thc
Charleston papers contain lengthy accounts of
disgraccful row among the Aldermen, at the NEE
ting of the City Council on Friday last Headed
by the two Mackeys, the scalarags made an onset
against the carpet -baggers, including Mayor Pills
bury, and the contest was terrible. One of the
Mackey's gave notice that he should present art-
cles of impeachment against the Mayor at the next
meeting of Council. Another scalawag called o
carpet-bag Alderman an official thief, to which the
latter replied that his opponent was highway
thief. whereupon, the scalawag made for him,
and the redoubtable carpet dagger patted his
breast significantly, telling him to "come on, he
was ready" The whole scene is described as dis
graceful and confusing. The room was crowded
with white men and negroes, principally the lat
ter who enjoyed the scene amazingly, "clapping
their hands and stamping their feet whenever any
thing spicy was said" Members denounced each
other and the Chair in the most violent manner,
willie the Mayor was powerless to preserve order.
This exhibition of the happy family will doubt
less be rcpeatedat intervals. This fight occurs
over the spois of office, always a fruitful source
of disturbance and contention.

THE ELECTION NEXT TUESDAY.

II will be remembered that Tuesday next, 25th
instant, the voters of this county are called upon
to elect School Commissioner and Coroner to fill
vacancies. For the latter Office. there is only
single candidate, who is the regular nominee Of
the Democratic party. For School Commissioners,
besides the regular nominee-who is gentleman
of the highest attainments and best qualifications
for the postion-there is an independent candi-
date. We wish to make few remarks concerning
the importance of preserving an united front In
this and every other contest for Office. We are
aware of the prejudices in the minds Of many
against party nominations, and we are also aware
that during the past few weeks these preJudlces
have been ndustriousiy wrought upon by inter-
ested persons. Now, the sum and substance Of
what we want to tell the white people of this coun-
ty is simply this, that by unity and harmony
among themselves there is nothing easier than to
retain the power in their own hands, but that
breach once made and the party vote thoroughly
divided, it will require several years to secure
again what may be wilfully thrown away. Are the
white people prepared take this STEP and either
by their indifference as to going to the polls or by
directly encouraging defections and divisions
virtually accomplish the defeat of the party? We
think not, but desire to put every man upon his
guard, and ask him to consider well when tempted
to cast vote outside of the regular nominations,
especially when the gentleman selected are in ev
cry respect qualified to discharge the duties The
Democratic party of Anderson cannot afford to cas-:
aside its record during the past twelve or fourteen
months, nor f.itter away its life and energies
in considering the personal friendship or private
prejudices ofiis members. We emust stand together,
and prepare for great victory next year. Divi-
ded now, we shall fail then. Let every nan
feet, and then do his duty.

FRIEND HoYr: / have been waiting with much
anxiety to see On official report Of the proceedings
Of the late "South Carolina Agricultural Conven-
tion" hare i. now in this weeks Intelhgeneer,
and conclude it would be we'll to call it by any
other name. Your correspondent, some time since,
urged through your columns the holding Of Con-
vention for the purpose of reriring our old State
Agricultural Society, and much regrets that cir
cumstances prevented his attendance.
resolution was offered by Mr.. Boinest, and
adopted as follows:
Resolved. That the original Agricultural Society
Of South Carolina be revived with its constitution
and bylaws, &c.
Now, sir, my main object in writing this COM
munication is to ascertain the position of the old
life members of the South Carolina Agriculture
Society Are they to be forgotten or thrown in
the shade by this newly organized Agricultural
Mechanical, Educational Manufacturing and I'm
migrating Society, composed Of any profession.

In oil the resolutions / see not word SAID
about the old life members, who have undoubtedly
an interest in the remaining property of the oil
Society. But there are resolutions that persons
desiring to become members of this new mot re
vived) Society, shall make application to our olt
friend Aiken, and if found worthy, it seems from
the resolution of Col. ]. S. Richardson, may pny
up and become members.
Well, Mr.. Editor, circumstances which none O
us could control have placed it out of the power
Of more than one of the old life members to becom;
members of the revived Society, and therefore they

THE pHGE1x AGAIN.

The Columbia Pheniz of Friday last contains
the following
The publisher of the Anderson Infelligencer. for
reasons best known to himself, is endeavoring TO
make capital out of paragraph published in the
Phcniz several weeks ago. The explanation Of the
matter was deemed satisfactory but the boast
that his paper was the first to condemn this man
ifest approval of the Governors appointments" I"
must be taken as an excuse for these repeated dis
sertations. Without specifying the object aimed
at by the Anderson publisher, simply commend
to his especial consideration the homely adage,
"be just"
The publisher of the Columbia Phenir, for rea-
sons best known to himself has suppressed the
truth concerning the endorsement by that pap:r
of Scorr's ringed-streaked appointments. Ac-
cepting the homely adage," We will endeavor to
be just, even though it makes the CALLED jade
vince" The explanation which he GO deemed sat-
isfactory" was nothing more nor less than SUBJ
terfuge, which was fully exposed last week.
Before our first article was published, we re-
ceived satisfactory evidence that the endorsement
Of the Governors appointments was written by o
professed Republican. who Was at that time edit
ing the Phenz! We have undoubted authority for
declaring that the author subsequently, in private
conversation, attempted to defend the article ad-
mitting that he the author and endeavorlpg to
bolster up it's expressions. This is the whole
truth, and while seeking TO be just" we have
simply rendered "unto Caesar the things that are
Casars." Will the publisher of the Phenir deny
that his paper was conducted for time by the
Commissioner Of Agriculture, and that the ap-
proYal of Gov. ScoTT's appointments was written
by that same individual? Where is the "typo-
graphical error" in that? One more sentence,
and We are done with the little sheet. When it is
asserted that we have an ulterior object in view,
or that wc wish to "make capital out of this
matter, or that there any boasting in our last
article, we pronounce such assertions wholly gra-
tuitous and necessarily false.

"THB RADICAL PARRY THE MosT CORRUPT THAT
EVER CURSED THE LANp."-The above caption is
from an article Of the New York Herald, from
which We copy the following condensed paragraph ::
"Thc fact has become patent that the RePdbli-
can party is the most corrupt that ever cursed our
land During the war its leaders fell upon the
national treasury and the public credit like so
many ravenous wolves. Their jobs and jobberies
in the way of army contracts, in the sale of rotten
old huks for transports. in the building of new
war vessels that proved shells or abortons, and
in everything connected with supplies including
provisions clothing, forage, hospital stores, and
SO on to the end Of the catalogue, for the use Of
the army and navy. were enough to appal any
other than the Amer ican people. These depraved
AMI hungry leaders with appetites for the spoils
of office still lingering in their Unsuitable maws,
have now fastened upon the Senate Of the United
States, and, with avariciousness that spurns all
compromise, reason and control, demard. that no
appointment shall be made without their having
finger in the selection. In the homey phrase Of
Western Senator, they are persistcntly 'dingdong-
ing every member of that body and, it is mcrti-
flying to acknowledge, they have in that body
friends and confreres rs corrupt as themselves,
who are ready and are employed to do their bid
ding in making Indian treaties, allowing enormous
grants of land for private purposes, and engaging
in other scnndalous practices. besides encouraging
fraudulent appointments to office"
