Cy- A very curious phenomenon wss'
witnessed on Lake wiunepiseogee on Sunday
afternoon. by two men in u small boat. There
was scarcely breath Of air stirring, and the
surhce Of the lake was unaffected by even a
ripple, when the centre Of the lake suddenly
appeared to sink down. and Immediately fol.
lowing three large waves, the largest over aye
feet in height, dashed over the rocks for a
moment, threatening destruction to thc boat.

that all the indications point to the certain
denomination of the present military Pre-
sident. Grant, himself. boots at any other
possibility +; while his organ virtually de-
fes opposition.
Grant having thus determined to he re-
nominated, the organ aforesaid says that
it will require not less than ten thousand
Federal troops, distributed through the
Southern States, to insure free and fair
election in those States in 1872. The excuse
for an increase of the standing army-that
foe of Republican government and badge
of Empire-is invented by Grants present
war upon the helpless people of South
Carolina. The army increased, it Will be

The University,

With regard to tho University OF the State, a
principal obstruction to its success is its pecun
airy em0arraS sments, for which, as far as / can
judge, the present board OF trustees are in no
wise responsible. The principal dabt, amount ~
to about sixty thousand dollars, incurrs d.,
and q mortgage made to secure the same befoi o
they came into Office. In 1868 the patronage of
the institution had been reduced to less than one
hundred students. Prior TO this time. however,
the principal petition of it's endOWmcnts had been
lost by unfortunate investments. Until the il
stitution is relieved from d9bt and it's property
from incumbranoe, there can be but little hope of
it's success or usefulness. Ia my opinion an hon.
est and faithful effort was made to lift the Uni
yersity from the condition in which it was found
at the close of tho late war. This met with little
or no favor from the clses of pere0ns by whom it
was crushed. They have not aided the officers
in their efforts to build it up. Public opinion has
been moulded against it by the most unecrupu-
lous misrepres citations, and by violent appeals
through partlZan press. Those who would have
patronized it were threatened with social ostra-
cism- The young wore deferred from entering
its halls and parents very sturaliy hesitated to
compel the attendance of their sons and now
the cause cftheir failure is imputed by some to
the trustees and faculty.

message of Gov. Caldwell to the Logisla-

The Newark IN. j. AdUertiSer indnlges
in heartless and insulting caricature OF
the helpless and suffering people of some
counties of South Carolina, who are now
being ridden down and trodden down IN
der the heel of lawless military despotism.
It seeks to travesty, with brutal glee at the
oppression and cruelty which so naturally
and strongly develop the feeling, the ten
derest emotion Of the human heart, ina
1ital affection. 1t speaks Of 'their 1.-THE
peopIe's) gross Ignorance of law and its
consequences, and, above oil, the devoted
attachment those poor devils have for
their pretty-faced wives and cay eating
children" and adds:
There is no psopge in the void among whom
the marital passion is SO strong and 30 absolute
in it's fidelity. They cannot be driven from home,
or if hunted GOwa in neighbot hood vendettas,
they "i1e ont in the bush,' ard creep to then

But they know neither religion nor the alpha

been trained is that of violence, and law has M
meaning TO them except Sc rumor of q f2r dis
tsnt power, which the lawyers undel stand. -
They are mere human a0lmais, so far without
conscience that thsy can hardly be said 10 know

If it were true that the unfortunate peo
pie, thus harried and prosecuted, were OF
the ignorant and besotted condition de-
scribed, it would still be to their credit
that, in marital and copjagal fidelity, 81
least, they rise superior to the Wanted
civilization and refinement, the Pharisai
cal morality, Of some other localities. But,
as the Baltimore Sun justly observes, these
Infamous remarks are applied to the people

s. L. Fremont, for 50 many years past

vote all of his energies 10 furthering the

to New Orleans as ore of the most efficient
railroad men in the country. and the en-
severed his connection with the Weldon

have done much towards securing the pros.

He is thoroughly acquainted with every
part of the road which he is to Superin-
tend, and we think that the choice of the
Board of Directors has fallen upon one
who will be fully able to carry out their
views in regard to the management of the
line. A practical machinist and engineer
himself, he will be the better able to regu-
late the labors of those over whom he has
been placed in control.
