THE STATE PROSECUTIONS.

We publish elsewhere an article from
the Flew York San, which we believe
grossly misrepresents the special Investi-
eating Committee and the present State
government. There can certainly be no
agreement between President Hayes and
the State officials of South Carolina to
suppress these prosecutions, for it would
DO dishonorable beyond precedent for
public officers to agree for any considera-
tion to protect rogues of the highest
order from punishment for their crimes.
1t cannot be true that Gov. Hampton
would consent to dishonor his name, or
the State which has bestowed upon him
his present. distinction, by making any
contract with the Federal government to
shield the guilty from punishment. We
do not doubt tho willingness Of President
Hayes to make contract to further tho
interest of the men who helped to steal
the Presidency for him, but we will never
believe, until it is proven beyond a
doubt, that any South Carolina Demo-
crat Is base enough to become party to
such an infhmy. Another reason for dis
believing the version of the San's cor
respondent Is, that if the State officials
would consent to @ discontinuance of
these prosecutions, the Investigating
Committee would not. Those persons
who think thia Committee 10 made of
such flexible material as to be swayed in
their views of right and wrong by the
wishes Of any State officer are very much
lniataken. Il has upon Il several of the
most thcrOugh-going Democrats, of high
abilities and of the frmest integrity, who
viii never consent to swindle the people
of South Carolina by turning lose set

The restoration of property TO the State
by Woodruff and Jones did not include
the palatial residences occupied by them
in the city of Charleston, the titles fol
which stand in tho name of their wives
1t might be we'll for the Committee to
investigate the validity of these titles,
and find out if the property was not O
present to them paid for by State money.
The public plunderers should not be

ings, whether they have had them made
over to their wives or not. The oppressed
people of South Carolina VIII not remain
satisfied to see Woodruff and Jones living
in palaces which ali believe they stole
from the State. We say go ahead with

them disgorge oil they have left, and
then tell on every other public robber in

LowNDEsvILLE, s.. c., Sept. 8, 1877.


Editor anderson InteMgenccr
This has been great day in our quiet
little town. Notices had been posted
ahh::::: the country, and published in the
papers of this and adjoining counties,
that Railroad meeting would be held
in Lowndesville on the 9th. Long be.
fore the appointed hour, the roads lead.
ing to Lowndesvllle we're crowded with
vehicles of every description, aud pedes-
TRANS, ell eager to hear, and to follow
where wise men might lend.
Unfortunately, no preparation hes
been made for outdoor speaking, and
the Academy hnd tn he used. Az snsny
as were able crowded into the building,
but large majority stood outside,
around the doors and windows.
The meeting was called to order by ;.
Marion Latimer, Sr., Chairman, and DR..
Robt. s. Beckham was requested to act
as Secretary. The Chairman, in a few
pointed remarks, explained ths object q;
the meeting, and then introduced The
venerable and distinguished Judge j. 8.
Murray, of Anderson, who. in n,asterly
and convincing speech of twenty-five
minutes, laid laid before the assembly the
necessity of building the road and the
feasibility of the project. He demon.
strated TIE fact that no agricultural peo.
pie can prosper without direct communi.
cation with the great commercial maris
of the country. He further proved ihat
Railroads induce immigration, thereby
developing the resources and enhancing
the value of the country through which
they run. Ho paid his compliments in
no measured terms to the ''souliess cor
poration" which runs the Greenville aud
Columbia Railroad, and asserted that
enough money was paid in the way oi
exoEbitant freighta ,i three years to CON.
struct the proposed road. In closing his
remarks, the speaker referred to the nat
ural advantages of the route eiG Eowndes-
vile over e,l others. He said the ROAD,
will traverse one of the most productive
sections of the State, and put in commu.
nication with the outer world region Of
country which viii one day become the
garden spot Of the South, (and We clight

in speech of twenty minutes, urged

IL is stated that ths Trustees of the
South Caroiina University have decided
not to reopen 1t as an institution of
learning before October, 1878. They
haze acted wisely in not attempting to
sesume the exercises of the University OF
an earlier period, and we doubt very
much whether it is to the best inteyest Of
the State for it to be opened even during
the next year. Tho cause OF education
is not suffering from its suspension, for
there are numerous Colleges and Uni.
versities in the State fully competent for
the education of young men, and for a
few years we think che money necessary
to carry on State University could be
more nroitnblv devoted to the common
schools of South Carolina. AS soon as
We can get the debt question regulated,
and ous government firmly established,
with thorough and efficiee. syslana Of
public schools, and reasonable rate Of
taxation restored, then this institution
might very properly be resuscitated with
the ablest faculty attainahle TO mako it q
College Of the highest grade of scholar
ship and proficiency. But But 1;aa..::!. ;1;;aa.:! We ere

had best remain closed. There Is no
sound policy nor good reason for estab-
fishing it rs IA rival to the Colleges we
now have, especially where the expense

turns so small. The State can afford to
do without this luxury until our govern.
