Tho Legislature.

Nh EDITOR: Will tho Legislature nd
lourn, and not arrange to Investigate
the amount and validity OF tho State
debt2 How can the members 60 home
and fuce their constituents. when they
shall have failed to at all do that which
should have been one of their first acts?
By their refusal or neglect of this i'm
portant duty for the people, they have
virtually, if not actually, made them
selves partakcrs Of the wrongs that may
have been committed in tue increase Of
the public debt If no wrongs have been
ommitted, why refuse to allow or en-
power such men as Attorney General s.
w. Melton, General Wade Hampton and
Ex-Governor B. +. Perry to examine
closely and report? A report from such
committee wonld not cost the State
much, and would give very general SUITS
faotion to the people. The people are
not willing to indiscriminately pay all
demands agninst the State, rs has been
done, when, in all probability, moro than
three. quarters Of the claims have been
begotten in iniquity. fraud aud corrup-
ton. Is there man who would be
willing to pny that which he did not owe,
simply because some scoundrel had the
audacity to claim it against him? Would
he pay before he was sure all was just
and right? Most assuredly not.
There is no doubt but that the enor-
nous amount of taxes just collected from
the people have been squandered in this
way, and not dollar now in the Tren-
sury; and the Legislature, if they did not
fear to do 80. would now pass another
and still heavier tax bill
Democrats as well rs Republicans
seem to be very easy about this matter.
Has any hush money been paid this Legis
h1ture? If so, how mucA9 and ,chere
does IL come from? Senators and Repre-
sentatives. let us have light on this sub
iect; or, for shame! never show your
tncss ngan to those who sent you.

corn mills and store, the profits from
which may be set aside, to meet contin-
gencies that msy arise. suoh as repairs,
DO. Aud an allowance is also made for
freiehts and commissions for selling the
whole product In New York, when it is
expected that a considerable portion
would be sold direct to the trade, from
the factory, and save both freights and
commissions.
Another reason why enterprises Of this
character offers superior inducements to
invest in them is. that our section OF the
country is in a prosperous condition,
financially; geod crops have been made,
which have been sold at good prices; the
culture of cotton is largely on the in
crease. and capital is acoumulating,
which must naturally seek Investments
somewhere. If invested in enterprises
Of this character, the country will be
largely benefited by it; large number
of operatives will be furnished with
lucrative employment and made pro.
ducers, their labor being paid for by
consumers elsewhere: and the product of
both their labor and the return upon the
capital invested is left with us, enrichipg
the country to that extent, and adding
to the general prosperity. In that way,
and no other. has New England grown
rich and powerful, financially, because
they have been producers and we con-
sumers. We have paid for their skilled
labor, aud from their course aud success
we should learn Ii useful lesson.
Persons favorably impressed with the
foregoing enterprise, and who may de-
sire to take stock in it. can do so by ap-
plying to either of the Undersigned.

@. Northrop were elected Trustees of the
South Caroline University. The Board
now consists of Messrs. Lee. Bowley,

real interest in the cause of education.
Mr.. Chamberlain is capable man, Of q
subtle order of intellect. with tho culture
which may make him valuable in the
Board. Mr.. Northrop is native of the
State and graduate of the College.
Upon him we can count for good Offices

said Of the Governor. The members

discreet men, who will prove averse to
any movement intended to cripple or in

ing. We shall hope to SEQ them support
it with zeal and good Judgment.

School for Idiots.

MR. EDITOR: Many of your readers
will probably be much surprised when
they read an appeal n behalf Of idiots.
What can be done for an idiot? An
idiot. according to Blackstone, is a natu-
raj fool; 'one that hath no understand
ing from his nativity; and therefore is,
by law, presumed never likely to attain
any," It is common impression that
an idiot is entirely beyond the reach of
training and education; that he must re-
main forever in worse than british dark
ness and ignorance. This, however, is
great mistake, rs shall show. Idiots
eau be educated; idiots hare been educat
cd; and some of the most unpromising
OF them have been redeemed from their
low estate, and elevated to a condition
which asserts their humanity and places
them far above the most Intelligent of
the lower animals. It is believed that
in the United States there are from
30. 600 to $4,000 idiots. and it is fair to
say that in South Carolina they may be
counted by the hundred. The idea that
something in tue way of education
might be done for this most helpless
class, belongs to our age. It was first
attempted in Paris, and to the French
must be given tho credit, thong it was
under the guidance of the false phiIoso
ply. of Condillac. Under other and
better influences, it has had higher
aim, and achieved noble success. l
am happy to record the fact that not
only in France, but in Switzerland,
Prussia, in the United States, and in
England, these so called ''human brutes''
have been redeemed, and made to take
their place with tho 'lords of creation" ("
Let him who doubts read tho reports
that have come to us; particularly those
from Massachusetts, and from Mr.. J. B..
Richards. whose school was at German
town, Pennsylvania, and who bas the
distinction of having had charge of the
hrst class trained among us. We learn
from these reports that ''they can be
raised from condition lower thun that
OF brutes TO the likeness Of man," The
success which has been attained hus cor.
rected great error aud established a
most encouraging fact. It is not true
that with tho idiot there is a state OF
absolute, mental iucapacity; it is only
true that there is torpor Of the mental
powers. It is proved in numerous in
stances that persons who are idiotic ut
birth mny become "clennly in person,
quiet in department. industrious in
habits, and pass in society as individuals
OF common intelligence;" while others
to whom God has given equal capacity,
have from neglect and want Of training,
become filthy, gluttonous, vicious, de-
praved and sunk into drivcling idiocy
1t is great point gained to know that
new work of mercy is opened for us;
that the idiot is no longer 10 be regarded
as incurably al object of loathing and
disgust; that the immortal spirit is not
oxtinguished, bat smothered, and that it
can be aroused to condition of con
sciousness and intelligence. In future
number 1 will conclude the subject.
