CAROLINA COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE.

The opening term of this institution already
gives promise of large attendance of pupils
for the present year. The teachers are devo-
ting their entire time and attention towards
sustaining its good reputation, and it is hoped
the citizens of town and country will second
their efforts to place the school upon perna-
nent basis and successful career. Unless We
join bands and make combined effort, tho
patronage naturally belonging to this institu-
ton will be diverted elsewhere, and its pros
perity and usefulness thereby become weaken
ed to some extent. The Edgefeld Advertiser
gives the Institute kindly word as follows:
Among the most important Schools in our
State is the Carolina Collegiate Institute, at
Anderson. This institution is for both males
and females, and is presided over by Professor
w. j. Ligon, one of the most accomplished
scholars and experienced gentlemen in the up
country The Board of Directors, of which
Mr.. James A. Hoyt, of the Iateligeecer, is
President is composed of thirteen of the most
prominent citizens of Anderson. The Annual
Catalogue of the Carolina Collegiate Institute
for the year 1874, is now upon our table; and
| we learn from 1t that during tho past tweiYe
months the number Of pupils was 1875
males, "a females. We can conscientiously ro-
commend this School to parents throu9hoUe

Is IT A MISTAKE ?-The Columbia cores
pondent of the Augusta COnstitutionahst gives
the following item of news concerning the
the matter of contesting Hoges seat in the
next Congress. 1t may not be true, however
as it was this same correspondent who stated
last week that Hoge had concluded to resign
all pretensions to the place:
The friends of Gen. MCGOWAN greatly regret
to learn that he has omitted to file notice OF
contest in the matter of contesting Hoge's seat
in the next Congress. The law requires that
sixty days notice be given prior to the meeting
of Congress, and the time is now too short to
do so. He may, however, file protest against
Hoge's being seated, and thus have the seat
declared vacant. 1t is to be hoped that he will
do so. MCGOWAN certainly made mistake,
and disappointed many of his friends who
greatly desire to sec him oust Hoge.

gHURsDAy MORNING, JAN. 2s, 1875
More Trouble In Edgefield.

There has been much excitement during the
mast week over the condition of affairs in Edge
field County, growing out Of the burning OF
Gep. nj. @. Buffers residence by: an incendiary
on the night Of the 18th inst, A suspected
negro confessed that Ned Tennent, the notori'
ous militia captain who figured in the troubles
there last summer, hired him to burn the resi-
dence of Gen. Butler. A warrant was Issued
nv q colored Trial Justice for Tennents arrest,
and placed in the hands of colored constaoles.
Tennent refused to be arrested, and the Trial
Justice called upon Gen. Butler for posse TO
enforce the warrant. The General, accompa-
MED by eight or ten men, went IN search Oh
Tennent, and were fired upon from an amousn
by Tennent and his followers. The fire was re-
tnrned. and three negroes were wounded, after
which Tennent and his party fed from the
scene. Subsequently, Mr. Joseph Merriwether
and DR.. McKie were fired upon as they were
riding along the highway, but fortunately
neither of them was hurt. A few days after
wards Ned Tennent was arrested, and lodged
IN iail at Eage6eld, on charge of completely
in the burning of ButleSs residence. The
whole neighborhoed was aroused, and serious
apprehensions were entertained for several
days that general fight would ensue. Judge
Mackey was sent to Edge6eld by the Governor
and it was reported that he had issued war
rant for ths arrest of Gen. Butler, who went
before his Honor for examination on hearing
that his presence was desired. He was not
arrested, however. The whole affair was terri
bly, exaggerated, and the wounded parties are
doing we'll, OF course, the Legislature was
excited over the occurrence, and joint COM
mittee was appointed to visit Edgeheld and
report upon the facts. The neighborhood OF
the disturbance is twenty miles from any rail
road station, on the Savannah Riyet. The
origin of the troubles in Edgefeld is directly
traceable to the offensive and outrageous con-
duct of the negro militia, who have been
allowed to retain their arms and ammunition,
contrary to an agreement with the whites in
former difficulties:

The ARMY SUPPORTING KELLoGG.--A
Washington telegram gives the opinion enter
tanned and expressed by persons well-informed
in Louisiana matters, both Republicans and
Democrats, 10 the effect that, if the weight of
the army were lifted from the State tomorrow,
the whole Kellogg government would peacea-
bly, melt away; and furthermore that, without
violence, without disturbance, without protest
even, its officers would give up their places and
abandon every claim to them. 1t is the army,
therefore, which prevents the assembling Of
the lawfully elected Legislature of Louisiana,
and which keeps the Kellogg people in power.
It is tho military power Of the U. s. G. sup
porting tyranny and usurpatiOn.

STEALING AN IND1CTMENT.-During the
preliminary proceedings at Orangeburg last
week in the trial of Humbert, defaulting Coun-
ty Treasurer, it was discovered that an indct-
ment against that official was missing. The
paper was drawn up at the May term, and left
with the Clerk of the Court, who failed to pro-
duce it or render a satisfactory explanation.
Judge Reed was severe in his condemnation of
the Clerk for not using proper care in preserv-
ing the indictment, and Attorney General Mel
ton said that stealing was such science in that
locality that even indictments were spirited
away. Of course, new Indictment was framed
forthwith, and the trial proceeded.

The 0ranoeburq Frauds.

At the May term of the Court of General
Sessions for Orangeburg County, it will be re-
membered, Gov. F. J. Moses and Ex-Ireasurel
Hnmbert were indicted Jointly for breach Of
trust and grand larceny, in taking six thousand
dollars of the public money to buy the politi'
cal control of the Columbia Union Herald
The trial did not take place, and it was under
stood that the postponement meant only delay
until Moses had served out his term as Cover
nor, when he would be given longer term IN
another State institution. By the death OF
Judge Graham, there has been no Court inter-
yening until Judge Reed went there last week
TO hold the regular term. 1t soon became ap-
parent that Moses was not likely to be offered
up as sacrifice this time, for when Humberts
counsel stated that there was solemn agree
ment between the Solicitor and himself that
Humbert would be used only as witness
against Moses, and Judge Reed called upon
Solicitor Buttz to explain, that official an
nounced that the indictment against Humbert
was under the control of the Attorney General,
and he was to be tried without regard to any
previous understanding, especially since the
defendants statements were so much at vari-
anee, and he could not be relied upon as evi-
aencs against Moses. Judge Reed asked If
the Solicitor intended to give out another in
dictu,ent against Moses, to which Mr buttz
replied that he did not at this term.
So the the case proceeded against Humbert
alone. Mr.. Fillebrown and Treasurer Cardoza
were the principal witnesses, who established
his defalcation beyond doubt. Humbert
testified in his own behalf, and reiterated the
story recently published in our columns, charg-
ing Senator Andrews and Ex-Gov. Moses with
obtaining money from him under false pre-
teuces, which caused him to become defaulter
at the State Treasury. The case was submitted
without argument to the jury, who returned in
fifteen or twenty minutes with verdict OF
guilty. Before sentence was pronounced,
Speaker Elliott made a plea for Humbert
ON account of his youth and inexperience,
stating that he was the victim of an outrageous
conspiracy, and that Senator Andrews was the
author of all his woes and tribulation. Judge
Reed sentenced Humbert to one years impris-
onmept in the Penitentiary at hard labor, and
o 6ne of one thousand dollars. We have no
do,bs that ,Humbert was willing tool OF
Noses and Andrews, but it seems unfortunate
for the public good that his coadjutors in crime
are allowed to escape the rigors of the law,
and we trust that Judge Reed will yet have
the privilege of exercising judicial authority
over these accomplished plunderers, who have
managed to escape this time.

In speaking of Grants message about

"A Washington dispatsh says there is

- The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald says: "The Southern policy
now talked of is to make appropriation for the
pay and subsistence of the the army for two
years. and to revive the law which gave the
President power, in his discretion, to declare
martial law in any Southern District. This, it
is supposed, would, if pretext was given by
violence or disorder, lead to the throwing out
of certain number of the Southern ELECTORAL
votes in the election of 1876, but whether such
scheme can be carried through Congress is as
yet doubtful"
