special point made by our correspondent;
we learn that, so far at least as the medi-

John Lynch and Edward r. Smith
Rev. @. Bruce Walker is Librarian. The
official report informs us that the Uni

sixty-eight students:
"The average cost to the State, for the
year, OF the tuition of each of these
students was $455.8 80. The State appro-

A writer in the Columbia Union. who
calls, or rather mis-calls, himself "Jus.
tice," unites with the Union in its bare
faced efforts to uphold corrupt ring
of which it is the willing tool-and tries
in every way to disparage Mr.. Bowen.
one of Scott's chief accusers in the Lie
gislature. And, finally, i'll order to
weaken Mr.. Bowen's influence, the
writer says of the said Bowen: Gle can
not be dismayed, for he has the support
of every active-Democrat." We know
very we'll that Mr.. Bowen's career has
not been such as to commend him to the
public confidence, and We presume lie
has it not. But this is not the question.
The question is. are the points made by
him well taken? Arc his charges we'll
founded? It does not help Scott TINT
Bowen is not sinless. Farther, vice de-
serves support when moving, even for u
time and q purpose, in the grooves of
justice. Bowen deserves the support of
active Democrats as we'll as honest Re-
publicans in the work of bringing the
ring to justice. We caro- not what his
antecedents are. or what his purposes
may be. Let him break the ring, and
wa will then watch him.

Among the phosphate companies of

the claims of the ''Stono." We find that
some of our best merchants and planters
are to be found on the directors list.
It appears, further, TINT. comparing the
"Siono" with other companies, the terms
of sale are liberal, and we are informed
that the fertilizer is Of acknowledged TX.

Tho CITY C0uncll-Ffnanciering with q
Vengeance.
We mentioned in our issue of yester-
day that the $75, 900 borrowed of DR..
Neagle for six months at fifteen per
cent. per annum upon the pledge of the
S25O,OO0 seven per cent. bonds illegally
and secretly issued, ,is said to be now ex-
hausted. It has been all absorbed, and
yet the new market is not half done,
and upon the City Hall only about Sc, 600
has been expended. Let us see how
much OF this sum of $75. 900 we can ac-
count for:
Discount on $4,000. at fifteen per
cent. per month for six months, is
S5, 625. Taking this from the $75, 600
we have $69. 1916, net amount to credit of
City Council. Paid Allen before starting
his contract S12. 500 Paid afterward
5000. Paid Hardy Solomon, President
Bank and Trust Company, S25. 1000.
Total 81. 100. Leaving balance to be
accounted for S28,275. $l1,1OO known
to have been paid outl $28. .275 to be
accounted fori And what to show for
all this? $4,000 OF work and materials
on the City Hall, and the new market
not half donel The Council received
from DR.. Neagle's loan almost money
enough to build the City Hall, aud yet
this money il all gone, and observe, ye
citizens of Columbia, what there is to
show for it.
N0,O. let us to The record. What right
had the City Council to devote this money
borrowed of DR.. Neagle to any other
purpose than that for which it was
raised? When they proposed to borrow
S75, 900 to bald the City Hall and mar
ket, was this n miserable snbterfuge? It
has 30 turned out. What says the me-
mortal written by the City Attorney, Mr..
Tradewell, and signed by the Mayor for
himself and his Aldermen? We present
this extract:
"1our memorialists reply to the charge
of O secret issue of city bonds, &c., &C.,
that such issue Of bonds uas kno,om to be
contemplated. and intended AS THE SOLE
MEANS OF PROCURING THE NECESSARY
FUNDS FOR THE ERECTION OF THE CRY
HALL"
Observe this: AS ''the sole means OF
procuring the necessary funds for the
erection of the City Hall" This was
presented to the Legislature December
40. 1871. and now on The 17M January,
1872, it appears that the $751; has
been absorbed, and that but S., 900 have
been expended on the City Hall. How
stand the memorialists before tho Legis-
iature and before the public? Let them
hide themselves in the pit they have dug.

such a crises would make n famine like
the present one impossible. But when all
communication is by caravan, over paths
not highways, provinces two hundred miles
apart are practically Of no service TO each
other, Each province must depend on IT,
self; and when the beasts ofburdcn are per-
ished, and in the case Of the Eelyats the
flocks and herds also, on which they de.
pend for food, there is little left but for
them to sit down in the Mohammedan re-
signation of fatalism, and live on short al
lowance till their relief or death comes.
There are this winter tens of thousands Of
the Eelyats Of Persia with their horses
dead, their cattle and sheep largely so, with
no accumulated wealth with which to pro-
cure bread, and no place where bread can
be bought if they had the means. The
grass may arrive with the coming spring,
but it will be three years at least before
there can be a harvest to supply the people
with bread. Thus Sir Henry Rawinson
who knows Persia well, speaks Of it as
"doomed country" Certainly many Of
these pastoral tribes are "doomed" unless
help shall reach them. Their own resour-
ces are exhausted, and their isolation Is
such, and the means of communication so
destroyed, that practically they might as
well be on barren island in sea whiten-
cd by no sail, as in their dried up Valleys

"Well, yes, have" said Nabby, giving
a twitch to the sheet she was wringiug out.
"Josiah mayn't be very much to brag of I;

Rings out clear and shIill,

And be down the hill"

And I softly whispered,
Not without a thrill,

Sliding down the hill.
Many year has vanished
Since that winter night,
Many heart is resting
Then so gay and light,
Many n sled has passed us,
Flying faster still,
Since we have been sliding,
Sliding down life's hill.
Yet we know by wsymarks,

That the goal is nearing,
Soon we shall be there:
And our prayer to Heaven
If it be HIS will,
We will step together
Sliding down lifc's hill.
