that Radical himself, by Democrats

The STATE NORMAL SCHooL. The

There s State Normal School somoo
whore in Columbia. Should you ask
every man you might chance to moet
on Main street in the course Of any
given day if there be such an institu-
ton, ninety and nine residents of tho

that thoy have never heard of it.,
while some professor or other stranger
would most certainly assure you that
such q school is really in operation
thero-somowhcrc. Who are the pu-
pills or teachers no body knows. 1t
is only suspected to be in existence
from tho fact that it costs money. 1t
is known by It's wants, and its voice
is a certain Reverend Mr.. Warron.-
Who is Mr.. Warrcn? lie is tho
Principal OF tho State Normal School
Mr.. Warron now wants tho State to
provide for needy young citizons Gall
colored) who haven't the means Of
defraying their own expenses while
at the State Normal School, and the
State will probably have to do So
Tho State provides professors for tho
University, at salaries which mono of
them could command anywhere else
under tho sun, and the State provides
pupils for tho professors, Tho State
has provided Mr.. Warren for the Nor
NAL School, and that gentleman now
very reasonably wants somobdy whom
he can toach. Those who are ablo
to pay have no idea of coming to him
to be taught, wherefore ho wishes
some inducement to be held out to the
impecunious. Walk up, young gen
tlemenl Tuition is free, and two hun-
dred dollars each is now asked for to
assist you. Only white Carolnians
need not apply. The track is open

Dodging Out of a Dilemma,

We are not favorably impressed
with Whittemore's bill for lodging
ont of the dilemma in which the
Radicel party are placed by the So
called election of Whipper and Mos
es. There are now eight Circuits,
and the plan Of the bill is to assign
to other Circuits the Counties COM
posing the Circuits (he First and
Ihird) to which Whipper and Moses
claim to have been elected. This, if
practicable, will rulo out two Judges
and those two are intended to be
Whippcr and Nose; but how is it
intended to exclude those two in the
place OF any other two2
There is no Use in attempting to
dodge the question. 1t must, soon
or late, be squarely met. Whipper
and Moses are not Judges; because
there was no existing vacancy, the
constitutional. term of Judges Reed
and Shaw not expiring until after au
other general election, and after the
time whom the term Of Moses and
Whipper was expected to begin
That is the constitutionalSand insur-
mountable obstacle in the way of the
two persons whom the General AS
sembly undertook to put upon the
Bench. We have no objection to
Judge Carpenter. The Charleston
Bar know him, and have high opin-
ion of his vigor, promptitude and
ability. This is, however, a matter
of principle, and we cannot consent
TO waive it. The constitutional
ground of opposition to Moses and
Whipper was first oxpounded in tho
News and Courier. 1t was rediculet
at first; it is now accepted as gospel
We stand on that ground, and will
not bulge an inch. When tina
ground IS cut from under our feet
and not before, we shall support any
and every other means of keeping
the defaulter and the debauchee from
defling the bench by their presence

tempt be flagrantly unlawful or bear
the semblance of legality. Viewing
the subject in this light, we cannot
consider the tax levied for the pur~
pose of discharging tho indebtedness
incurred upon the Railroad bonds as
legal, and the dissenting taxpayer is
not bound thereby; and there remains
but one question to be inquired into,
and it serves as the strongest and
most effective test in determining his
liability: Did the right to levy the
tax exist previous to the time that
the people incurred this obligation
by voting for the subscription, or was
it acquired by virtue of a contract
If it originally existed, there could
have been no necessity to have sub,
mitted it to vote, because the pows
er to levy the tax would have been
an acknowledged fact, and besides
right; hence we are bound to con-
clude that it had it's inception in
contract, and must be regarded to all
intents and purposes as such.
1t is well known and long estab~
lished principle of law that in order
to constitute a contract, there must
be an assent of the parties thereto. 1t
is the first great and essential requi-
site upon which hangs its legal vali-
dity. Without this contract would
not have even the color of legality.
Then, is not the proposition that the
dissenting taxpayer cannot be held
responsible under contract entered
into without his knowledge or cons
sent, a reasonable one, and one to
which every reasonable man must
accede. | venture the assertion that
he can successfully resist it in court
of Justice.
AS l have already said that l do
not propose to treat the question in
a constitutional point Of view, | am,
however, willing tor its constitution
ality to undergo free and impartial
test. Let it be analysed and dissect-
ed in all It's features. I entertain no
apprehension as to the result. On the
contrary, | rest in the full assurance
that it will only contribute to stronght.

weighty and paramount Importance
