APropOsed University.

The appeal says that it was decided at a
late meeting of Baptists in Memphis, to
endeavor to secure the establishment in
that city of Baptist university. 1t gives
the following cause for the new scheme !:
There is an old Baptist theological and liter
airy institution in South Carolina, once
richly endowed and most prosperous. Its
President, the son of Mr.. Boyce, known in
the Federal and in the Confederate Con,
gress as one of the ablest members
Of these bodies, is the distinguished
President of the South Carolina
institute Such is the recognized in
telectual and moral worth of Mr.. Boyce
that be has been rendered the highest posi-
tions in the most famous Northern institu.
tons of learning, and such is the confidence
of good men Of the North in bis wisdom
and goodness that he has been rendered
large sums Of money for the endowment of
an institution Of learning over which he
would preside. He win not leave tbs South,
and yet saCh is the pitiable condition of
South Carolina, as governed by its present
masters, that the Baptists are forced to re-
move their most noted theological school
from the State.
1t is proposed to establish here a Univer-
sity, this old theological school of South
Carolina to constitute the point of centrali-
cation about which will cluster the affec-
lions of a million Southern Baptists. The
twelve thousand churches Of this denOmi-
nation in the ten Southern States would
WELD their wealth and exert their moral
power in promotion Of the success of this
Institution.
The Baptists now have in the United
States thirty-seven colleges-one at Macon,
Georgia; at Marion, Alabama; at Clinton,
Mississippi; at Greeneville, South Carolina;
Richmond, Virginia; Wake Forest, North
Carolina; Columbia, Missouri; two in
Kentucky; one at MurfreesbOro, Tennessee;
and two in Texas.
We may add to the above that Mr.. Boyce
and other distinguished Baptists will meet
here in convention to-day, and the prospects
are favorable for the removal of the old
theological school Of South Carolina to this
point.

Those CnnifoI Bonds-

The Capitol bonds presented at the Comp
troller's office recently, it appears came into
the hands Of the Trustee as part of the as
sets of the Bank of Tennessee, and were
believed 10 be bought by the Bank in 1860
and subsequently. The Legislature having
given the railroads the right to pay their in
terest in past due bonds, an active demand
was developed. Taking advantage of this
state Of things, the Trustee exchanged the
past due Capitol bonds for other Tennessee
bonds not due. There were thirty-two Cap
itol bonds of $3.50 each, amounting in all to
$4,000. The interest was calculated thence
up to the day of the exchange. For this
interest, amounting teabout $4,000, and for
the $4,000 of bonds, the Trustee received
Tennessee bonds amounting to $4,000.
The latter had the coupons on and drew in-
terest from the date of the exchange, the
object of which was to enable the Bank to
earn additional interest. Before the ex-
change the Bank drew interest only on
$4,000; since the exchange it has drawn in
terest on $4,000, which makes a gain an
nually to the assets of the Bank of $500.

ia guard for each workshop day
and night, and to see that they
faithfully perform their duty, and
to select such guards as are acceptable
to the lessees" was not authorized by the
act, and that the State could not be held
responsible. The court was of further
opinion that the two aforesaid cases, with
certain accounts amounting to SIG, 433. 81
were not warranted by the law of the case.
The lessees also claimed to be entitled to
damages resulting from the use of the Exc
cutive power in pardoning large number
of criminals.
The court was Of the opinion that the les
sees took the lease with full knowledge of
the Governors power to pardon offenders,
and while the Executive clemency might
have been extraordinary they could not
claim damages by reason of this. The
court also held that the stone quarry
(abanded as point in the award was no
part Of the penitentiary that the
defendants, Ward & Briggs, were
liable to account for the use of the stone
and damages to the quarry. The cause was
therefore reversed for the purpose of taking
an account on this point as to the value of
the quarry and the damages done on it.
The decree of the Chancellor was in all
things affirmed and the claims disallowed.
The decision has saved the State about $780,
900 and is pronounced one of much ability
and Judicial elaboration.
