During the present session Of the Leg.
fslatEr5 there will DO strenuous e1Fo,s
mad 70 revive the south Cssplina +,o5-
ssfgss =aa &: &: c.ier taaccomptqh shis rA-
suit, heavy appropriations win bo asked
ct The haads dfthe Legislatate. Before
undertaking this york 81 would De ad :
visable for the members of the General
Assembly 10 count the cost and calculate
the benefit TO be derived from the execu.
ton of the proposition TO revive. The
fInt element entering into the problem At
this time, when the State is 80 greatly
hardened, Is the question Of necessity.
Are our present educational advantages
sufficient for the needs of our State2 and,
IL not, are We In O condition to better
them ? are the principal inquiries to be
answered. In reply TO the first, We are
disposed 10 answer La the Affirmative.
The Furman University, the Wofford
College, the Adger College, the Enkine
College, the Charleston College, and the
Newberry College, afford ample oppprtu-
hities for collegiate instruction of high
order, and 1t IS ESPECIALLY noticeable that
most Of these institutions are gradually,
but surely, elevating the standard of
scholarship, and will, in the course Of a
few years, be all that could be desired il
they receive proper encouragement from
the people Of our State, The establish.
ment Of State University will tend to
rethrd the progress Of these other institu-
tiona, and win most probably injure, In
stead ofadyance, the cause Of higher ed
uca.ion in the State. In the next place,
we are satisfied .hat the expense con.
nected with establishing the State Uni.
versity will greatly exceed the benefits to
accrue from it. To establish h upon
lower order than Harvard, Yale OF the
University of Virginia would be prodi-
gal waste Of money, when We have SO
many institutions already In operation,
and TO mako 1t the equal of the celebrated
institutions named would require o very
large annual outlay of money, which
could DO much more advantageously en-.
ployed in the common schools of our
State if they are properly managed.
The University cannot be made success
at this time, and our Legislators will do
well for their constituents to. let the
whole subject gc unacted upon; until we
recover ous financial equilibrium. A
State institution Is great thing to talk
about, out unless it .is established under
more favorable circumstances than those
which oppress us at this time, it will
surely prove very costly piece Of senti-
@ee..s!:=:s::. Tie University off Vsirgiuis
is the only first class institution of learn
ing in Che South, which is under State
management, that enjoys any very ex-
allied reputation, and yet nearly ever,
Southern State has its "University." If
ours is revived We cannot hope to rise
higher than q respectable mediocrity, for
there are too many competing Colleges
for the size OF our State, and hence in
view Of these facts we should shru SO un-
profitable outlay of public money.

Ihe fe'esta0ilshment OF the whipping
post for certain crimes in this State has
been very generally discussed in the press
'of. South Carolina, and the opinions are
somewhat different over the State. It is
q subject ofgreat Importance to tho peo-
pie of South Carolina, and cotnmends it.
self to the confederation of our Iegisla-
ture OF this session. There is no doubt
that there Is throughout the State class
of petty thieves and offenders who have
no pride, no character and no dread OF
imprisonment, SO long as the thought OF
it is associated With idieness and enough
to eat. The present system Of punish.
ment is nn incentive rather than deterer
to crime. Every one who. Is familiar
with the inferior courts of our State has
doubtless observed this, and in some in
stances these petty thieves have ope5ly
acknowledged that they did not mind rest
ing in jail for one month. This ,condi.
ton of thingsis injurious to the peace
and order Of society end does not deter
from crime: but by allowing Il to go praG-
tically unpunished as % the beginnings
tends to train up hardened criminals By
the failure TO punish little ones. This
should be provided against, and, as the
most efficient mode Of prevention we are
inclined to favor decidedly the re-eatab-
lishment Of the whipping post for ali
petit larcenies and breaches OF trust un.
der $4,000. If this should be done, and
the lev 60 amended ss 20 authorize the
officer sentencing ssn..sssc.:ss &c ;'ilpzii5ona,eiit in

The Senatorial struggle is over, and
the State of South Carolina once more
has voice In the Senate Hall Of opf ma
tion. On last Eriday asght the vote
upon the OF fGen. 81 Q. butler,
as Senatpg from this State, was reached,
and resulted in his admissiun BY ofie mas
iority. Patterson and Connover voted
with the Democrats, and Judge Davis
did not vote either way. Gen. Butler
was then sworn In as Senator ffom South
Carolina for the next six years. The
Republicans made the most desperate
efforts to prevent him from obtaining the
seat to which he had been clearly elected,
but his case was too strong, and was
managed too skilfully for them. Every
thing that political hate and nialignanty
could bring to bear was opposed to him,
but bis cool conduct, ateEling ability and
just cause YVES too much even for Radical
rascslity 70 overcome, and he triumphed
over them, and through him the people
of South Carolina have tripmphed over
the slanders and vituperations which
have been heaped uyon US unanswered
for 80 many years. Hereafter the mah
who dares defame our people in the Sen
ate will bo apt to DO Hithered by the elo-

On Monday last the extra sesaion of
Congress was adjourned by Limitation: as
the first Monday in December is che
constitutional tine e. he .egu!a. meet meet
ing. Immediately after adjournment,
the regular session was opened, and the
usual routine Of opening gone through.
The session just closed has been long
and tedious ono, with very meagre re-
suits. Most Of the time has been spent
in passing the army appropriation bill,
and the discussion of political questions
such as membership, presidentialappoint-
ments, &c. The House has done some
valuable general legislation-,as in the
passage of the Silver Bill, the repeal of
the Resumption Law, and other matters !;
but the Senate has been too intent upon
maintaining q Republican majority TO
bestow any consideration upon subjects
of general legislation, Its action has
been PARTISAN in the extreme. The re-
tention Of Patterson, and the seating OF
Kellogg, will mark it in history as the
first Senate that ever lowered ita honor
by retaining as member;e man who
obtained his election by notorious bFibe-
ry, and by seating o man who. was never
oivcitd bby u ivgai Legisiature. we nope
one more session after the present. will
close the Republican dynasty In the
Senate forever. ,'i'.''..nf
