house on Monday next, at ono
o'clock. Tho purpose Of this meet
ing is to take into consideration tho
present railroad facilities enjoyed by
the towns in the county, and tho
unjust determinations made against
thom by tho Charlotte, Columbia
ana Augusta Railroad Company.
Certain it is that the county has
been, this fall alone, damaged to the
extent of many thousands of dollars
by the freight tariff now imposed by
the Company, Something must be
done--reliof must be had in some
way--or tho trade of these towns is
gone and with it the prosperity
and progress Of most of the people.
It is time that something wore dono
against the oppressive and Unfair
charges Of q corporation that is
managed solely in the interest of
Northerncrs who are intent only on
money. Everybody is ipterosted--
not only merchants, but professional
men, mechanics and, most of all, the
farmers the mselves, Let everybody
who can, attend tho meeting to day.

A NEGRO IN PENNSYLVANIA has bocn
III jail for twenty seven years. He
was convicted Of murder, but Hon.
W. j.. Johnson, then governor, nc-
elected, for somo reason, to sign
his death warrant, and mono of tho
succeeding governors have cared to
perfotm the job. Tho board Of
prison inspectors have unanimously
recommended pardon. And all
this timo tho Radicals have been
losing a vote.
IMMEDIATELY UPON RECEIPT Of tho

But before we had a chance to pub

and elected him. We can, therefore,
only express our qualification at this
selection. During the stirring times

THE UNIVERSITY.

THE UNIVERSITY.
Tho governor calls attention 10
the fact that the salaries Of some Of
tho professors, among them Profes,
sors Labordo, Reynolds and Rivers,
remain unpaid, and recommends
payment. He also advises an ap-
preparation for two universities, ono
for tho whites and the other for tho
blacks. In his opinion it will, of
course, bo impossible to put these
universities or colleges in perfect
working order at once, but such
legislation 70 thut end cnn now be
had rs will lay secure foundation
for them.
Ho next calls attention to tho
PENAL INSTITUTIONS,
and recommends improvement in
their management ''This, ho says,
sis now particularly the case with
the penitentiary, and it is worry
desirable that the convict labor
should DO utilized, instead Of being,
rs it now is, burthen on the
honest people Of tho State, The
superintendent has recently visited
many Of the penal institutions in the
country, and ho has thus acquired
much valuable information, which
has been laid before the directors.
81 suggest that sthero should be
five instead of three directors Of
the penitentiary, to be elected by
tue Legislature. He recommends
the samo course with tho Regents
Of the Asylum, and suggests more.
over that all such State officers
should be elected by the Lcsisla-
turc instead of being appointed by
the governo:.

time not only unusual, but unpro.-
