PRESIDENT HAYES AS AN ORATOR.

The annual banquet of the Chamber
of Commerce of New York was celebra-
ted on the 18th inst, and President Hayes
and his Cabinet were present. Invita-.
tions we're also given to Ex-Gov. Tilden,
Gov. Robinson and the leading officers of
New York, but as Democrats they de-
clined, because they could not consent to
recognize or endorse the fraudulent elec.
ton of President Hayes by meeting him
socially. This is an example well worth
the consideration of our people. When
called upon for speech the President
said:
"Mr. President, it is qualification to
have this opportunity to meet such an
assemblage of the business men of the
city of New York. wish to make my
acknowledgment to them for their invi-
tation to enjoy with them their annual
secret meeting. I wish to assure them
that this hearty greeting is very welcome
to me. Cheers. At peace with all the
nations Of the world, with an, honest pur-
pose on the part of our people and on the
part of the government loud cheers to
strive for the restoration of the ancient
concord within our own limits, hurrahs
and great applause,] believe that, not.
withstanding the unfortunate array of
figures which has been disentombed, we
may confidently look for early, decided
and encouraging evidences of the reviv-
ing of business prosperity throughout our
country"
A few more such elaborate discourses
as this will make President Hayes as
famous for sententious oratory as his no
torious predecessor, Ex-President Grant.

Whittemore, like the Grec;an rogue of
old, "has left his country for his coun-
try's good" but before leaving he, made
an agreement with Senator Meetze to
pair off votes with him on all questions
before the Senate. This agreement was
of course made expecting Whittemore to
return in few days, but as he'has SO un-
tremendously and discourteously taken
his departure, without even telling his
brother members of the Senate .good-

bound to cease voting forever. It is said

AS for o new party, there is no use Of
talking about it here or looking for it, as
there Is and will be none for years. The

THE ASSOCIATE JUsTICEsHlP.

The Legislature went into the election
for Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court with very great haste-indeed, we
believe the resolution to elect was passed
before Judge Willard had qualified as
Chief Justice. This was generally be-
lieved To be in the interest of one of the
candidates. whose chances were thought
better tnen than they would be at later
day. There was very little time for dis
cussion of the relative merits of the
various aspirants, and the country has
cause to congratulate itself upon the
happy result of the election. On Thurs
day night the Democratic caucus met to
nominate the Democratic candidate for
the position. Col. Henry McIver, of
Cheraw, was nominated by Mr.. Colt !;
Col. A. c. Haskell, by Mr.. Simpson /;
Gen. Wallace, by Mr.. Sheppard; Gen.
Kershaw, by Mr.. R. R. Hemphill Col.
Tracy, by Mr.. Parler. Three ballots
were held as follows: 1st hellot, McIver

shaw <, Carlos Tracy 5. I'd ballot, Nc
Iyer 80, Haskell 25, Kershaw II, Wallace
10, Tracy was withdrawn. On the Sd
ballot, McIver SO votes, Haskell %, Ker-
shaw 9, Wallace 9. Thirteen members
then changed their votes to McIver,
making his vote stand 49,; necessary to a
choice, AZ. The nomination was then
made unanimous. On Friday Col. Nc
Iyer was unanimously elected, receiving
the entire vote of all the members, Dem
ocrats and Republicans. His selection is
very judicious one. His claims rested
upon his worth and purity, as man to-
gether with his ability as lawyer. He
will adorn the bench with those qualities
of mind and heart which are eminently
desirable for those who wear the judicial

Washington Notes and Gossip
WASHINGTON, MayI18.

+ai.c WASHINGTON, May'18.
), Senator Patterson, of South Carolina,
stated in conversation to-day that in an,
interview which he had with the Presi-
dent a few weeks since the President had
said to him that his purpose was to ap1
point Democrats where it would strength
en- his policy and tend to obliterate party
lines. Mr.. Patterson thinks the dissatis-
faction evidenced in the North and West
at the Presidents Southern policy has
induced him to change his mind little.
Since Patterson's return from South Car
olina he has again called on the Presi-
dent. In his last interview the President
told him he would only appoint Repub-
licans to Office in the South, but in making
his selections he would take great careto
get hold of the best men. :; Secretary
Sherman has also informed him, MI. Pat
terson says, that 30 far as the Offices IN
der his department are concerned, out
and out Republicans who have stood by
the party in the past will receive consid-
Grafton in preference to those who have
become Republicans only since the adj
vent of the present administration. Sach
assurances as these are, regarded as quite
comforting by Mr.. Patterson in this day
of gloom and dependency which has
come upon his set.
ora professor of the South Carolina Uni
versity now in Washington has received
advices from Columbia which indicate a
determination on the part Of the South
Carolina Legislature to refuse all appro-
priations for the support of the Universii
ty as at present conducted. This will
necessitate the temporary closing up of
the institution and the discharge of the
professors and students. AS managed by
the carpet-bag authorities of South Caro-
lima, the University was made political
machine, and educational objects we're
entirely lost light of. TWAS run on the
most extraval ut scale, three-fourths of
the students ere ignorant colored youths
from the low country districts, and the
young white men of the State, whose
fathers were heavily taxed for the sup
port of the institution, were debarred
from any participation in its benefits.
When the South Carolina Legislature
meets again next winter measures will
be. adopted to reorganize the University
and make it available for the objects for
which it was originally, designed. .r
Ex-senator West, Of Louisiana, is con-
siderably Disconnected at the idea Of the

the work of building up new Republic

"turned down" by Kellogg and War

admiration for the two. = He is zowjhere,

UNIVERSITY TRUSTEES.

On last Thursday the General Assem-
bly, met in joint session to elect trustees
for the South Carolina University. There
were only twenty candidates fc- the seven
positions which pay one hundred dollars
each. We think that, for the present the
University should have been closed, as it
is doing little or no good and cannot be
rtssuscitated to prosperity within the next
three or four years. Its an item of great
expense to the State, and should not be
indulged in when there is no substantial
benefit derived by the State. 1t costs too
much for. the mere name of having a
State University. But as it was decided
to continue the institution we think the
Legislature made very wise selections for
theimportant position Of trustees. Every
man selected is q high.minded, honorable
and educated gentleman. and under their
care and direction we may confidently
look for this time-honored institution to
be restored, if not to its former prosperity
at least TO its spotless honor and exalted
standard of excellence.
The following gives the proceedings of
the joint meeting in the election of
trustees: 900
Mr.. Sheppard nominated Rev. E. J..
Meynardie and Judge John E. Bacon,
both of Columbia. Mr.. Aldrich nomina-
ted Col. j. 81. Rion, of Winnsboro.

mated Gov. B. F. Perry, of Greenville.

well nominated Capt. j. F. Izlar, of Or

ing, of Sumter. DR.. Muller nominated
Gen. J. s. Preston, of Columbia. Sena-

Mr.. Petty nominated Capt. Hugh L.
Thompson. Mr.. Brown nominated SEN
ator Gary. Messrs. Wallace and Gary
withdrew, and the nominations were then
closed. The roll Of the Senate and House
was then called, and each candidate was
voted for separately. The following is
the result of the several ballots in the
order named: Eev. E. J. Meynardie re-
ceiYed 80 votes, r. W. Boyd 100, Hon.

majority of the whole number of votes
in the several ballots, were duly elected
trustees of the South Carolina University
for term of four years.

the Legislatures business to pass upon
the debt and it ought to be done before
any Of It Is paid. The argument of the
advocates for imposing an immediate
tax, that we are bound to pay the debt
because the,State Democratic Executive
/ Committee pl:~ :~1ged our party IL It, woa1d
be good ground Upon which to oppose
Reputation, but does not apply in this
discussion. The Committee did not
pledge us not to investigate what the
debt is, nor did it pledge US to pay such
portion of it as is fraudulent. A fraudu-
lent bond is no part Of the States debt,
and the Committee had no right to pledge
the payment of anything except the just
debt as settled by the Consolidation
Act" A forgery or fraudulent bond is
no such portion of the debt, and the tax
payer will never agree to pay such bonds
as the given Kimpton & Co. for their
rascalltles.
The people look to the Senate to avert
the threatened danger from hasty action,
and if it does not do so, then we appeal
to Gov. Hampton 10 veto the bill. He
cannot consistently approve it, for he
recommended the investigation before
payment. To recede from his position
would show that he has no stable views
upon the financial situation. We hope
the Senate will save him from the neces-
sity Of acting, but, if it does not, the
Governor will owe it to himself and the
whole people to prevent the consumma-
ticn of 80 rnihous measure.

Ex-Governor Chamberlain has been
admitted to the bar in the city of New
York, and his shingle now swings in the
breezes of the great American metropolis.
We hope he will attend enough musical
entertainments to learn the distinction
between the clicking of the keys on o
brass horn and the cooking ola revolver.
He will at leisure mediate upon the
occurrences of the past eight years, and
will, we trust, learn enough to make him
wiser and better man. If he does not
New York will have no occasion to be
proud of him. By the way, we wonder
if Kimpton has been saving any of the
quantities of State bonds that they got
away with for Chamberlain?

Hayes has appointed Stone District
Attorney for South Carolina. He allows
Worthington to remain Collector of the
Port Of Charleston, and has offered Dunn
the position of Internal Revenue Collec-

the position of Solicitor of the Treasury.
We do not think it consistentent with

hitherto given, which is that President
Hayes is as greata fraud as the Louisiana
Returning Board, which stole the Presi.

The New York Herald has made
the discovery that after all the talk about
polygamy among the Mormons, there are
not women enough in Utah by over two
thousand, to 60 round, giving the men
only one wife apiece. It thus appears
that although many follow the plural
wife custom, more than enough adopt the
no wife at; all, or bachelor system, to
make things even and little more 80.
