DEGRADATION of tho South Car
DINA University.

The Charleston "News and COu-
ricr- in the bitterness of its heart
thus complains of the degradation
of this Alma Mater of South Caro-
Iirha's chivalric sons:
Mr.. Henry Il. Hayne, the col
Ored Secretary of Safe, has entered
the medical school of the South
Carolina University. This event,
as is SAID by the Columbia "Union-
HERALD .'marks an era IN the histO
nv Of the University" 1t does 1t
marks the beginning of the end of an
institution within whose walls some
of the purest and ablest men in the
State lived during the quiet years
of their student life. For the first
time in its history, a cOlOred man is
admitted to its classes. The alb
stract ''right'' has existed ever since
the completion of the recOnstruc-
ton programme, but wise regard
for the welfare of the University
had, unit! now, prevented that at
tempt at a mixing of the whites and
blacks which must destroy any in
stitutiOn of learning by forcing ont
the best classes of white students
and giving practical monopoly of
its advantages to the colored peo-
pie.
Virginians this will be the fate
of your University if you do not all
do your whole duty on the fourth OF
November next. Shall the negro
destroy the efficiency OF not only
that, but all our other institutions OF
learning Let the answer be EN-
phatic and conclusive.-KichmOnd

The Ohio Election.

The Democrats have undoubtedly
elected their candidate for Governor
in Ohio. The s'dead Democratic
party" has resurrected itself, fought
a hard battle and won the day
Last spring 1t was estimated that
the Radicals would carry the State
by 5000 majority, but SO disguised
have the people become with the
party that is leading the country to
ruin, that they have dropped the
Republican shackles and given their
votes to the Democratic ticket. In
Ohio, at that time, Il proposition was
made to disband the party. Thurs
man opposed its disruption. He
said then that the people were be-
coming more and more dissatisfied
with the Grant administration and
the Republican party; that they
were getting sick and tired of the
protligacy aud corruption in high
places, and that sooner or later the
State of Ohio would be given to the
Democrats. Aud Thurman was
right. Spurning the ''mediative"
or ''paSsive" policy, they placed Il
square Democratic ticket in the
field and it has won, From all parts
of the State Democratic gains are
reported. Our own poor State may
now, though too late, learn a lesson
from the Ohio contest. Sooner or
later we would here, as the party
has there, have driven the dominant
party from the capital. But we had
no strong man to beat back the
men of "expedlency," and with cries
of s'the Democratic party is dead"
they left it to live in the hearts of
its fewer devOtees, where it survives
again to control the affairs of the
nation which for sixty years it ruled
and go, erned with unparalleled sue
cess.-Vi cksburg Herald.
What a humiliating confession
Not a Mississippian at Meridian,
even when pleading for the rights
and liberties of his oppressed coun-
trymen, who had the moral force to
outbid that ''bold political gambler
Alcorn, for the vote of the Conven
zion. "Oh, shame! where is thy
blush ?"

A Touching Tribute.

We find the following in the Lit
tie Rock Gazette:
Rev. w G. Hern, pastor of the
Second Street NJ. E. Church South
yesterday morning at $50 received
information from the operator at
Shreveport that Mr.. Saville, the
operator who passed through here
three weeks ago to take the place
of Manager Rae, who died of the fe-
yer few days before. died at -
o'clock Thursday night of yellow
fever. The telegram read: Gals
fred went to his God at twelve
o'clock last night, calm and self
possessed as Christian gentleman
could be- His funeral took place
at twelve o'clock yesterday. AL
though he knew the danger to
which he was subjecting himself by
going to Shreveport, Mr.. Saville
felt it duty to go, and like hero
died at his post. His memory
should be revered not only by the
people whom he went to serve, but
by the company in whose service
he gave up his life. Rev. j. Will
kinson, pastor of the NJ. E. Church
South at Shreveport, was with him
up to the time of his death.
Tuesday, his wife, who is at Gren-
ada, Miss, was informed that her
husband was dying. She tele-
graphed back her last sad, heart
rending farewell, which was recelv-
ed by her husband short time pri-
or to his death. After reading it
he said he could die happy. This
is one of the saddest cases yet, and
the name of Mr.. Saville will go
down to posterity as one of the no.
blest of heroes.

A Father Kills his Daughter.

A New Orleans telegram of the
Goth gives the following tragic Oc-
currance:
Caroline Hugel, aged % years,
from Alsace, was killed by her
father. Joseph iIugel, this morning
immediately upon landing from the
steamship Louisiana. They took
passage at Bordeaux, and the faith
er asserts that the daughter, becom-
ing too intimate with IL young
Frenchman on the steamer, had
dishonored her family. He promis-
ed the captain OF the steamer not To
modest his daughter on board, but
soon after landing he stabbed her
twice with a knife, fatally.
