EDIron UNION TIMES 81 noticed net long ago
an article in your paper versus the State Uni
versity establishment, now pending before
the legislature. The writer advanced no very
forcibls reasons, and certainly nothing new.
1t has always been one Of the ad captandum ar
gument VS.. the South Carolina College, that it
was IN aristocratic institution and not the place
for poor folks. would be glad to see list of
the poor boys who have graduated at any Of the
other colleges in the State, arrayed in compari-
son versus the old South Carolina College boys.
have never heard any graduate of that Col
lege say that he was conscious Of any distinction
being made between students, rs regards wealth
or family. Some, yes, many, Of the most dis
tinguished graduates Of that college were poor
boys You may look over the whole South, and
you will find its graduates among the most dis
tinguisaed citizens. Your correspondent alluded
to the vices Of Columbia. As to that, there is
more in the boy than in the college. If boy
has o hankering after low company he can find
it as easily in tho vicinity Of one college about
well as another. If he wants to frolic and
spend his money, he can always find ample
room and verge enough about any institution to
suit his tastes. Human nature is pretty much
the same the world over, and when you get o
crowd Of young fellows together they will suro
to plot mischief.
It is argaed that If the State aid IL given to the
South Carolina University 1t should also be given
10 oil the other colleges. Per contra, il might be
said, If the various sects were unwilling to send
their sons to the State University they should
support their own Institutions. For the last
twelve years the other colleges have had full
swing and yet they are not in prosperous con-
dition.
Now. -it-the ground be taken that the fnan-
cial condition Of the State will not admit of the
reestablishment of the college, or that the pro-
visions Of the bill are impoitic, IL is very diff
ferent qusstion. All arguments directed to that
point (fnancial or to the policy of inaugurating
q dual University with the same curriculum for
oil persons, irrespective Of class, color previ
Gus condition arc pertinent and deserves res
pectful consid deration. But tho range Of debate
in the Legislature, as Mr.. Hemphill of Chester
said Of commanist HemphilI, (c1Abbsvilc, has
convinced me more than ever 6fihe necessity

In the Charleston races last week we see that
two horses from this County were entered for
the Handicap stakes of 5000, i. c., the brown
CHI 'stnut horse, Tom Bacon, raised by Mr.. c. E.

Eight horses were entered and the Union horses
came in rs follows: Gov Hampton, 3D.; Tom
Bacon 9Th. The race was won by chesnut

her to be q Western North Carolina animal /,
is is thought they are not pushing Tom Bacon

The Chester Marrow Gauge Road.

Jan. 31st 1873.
EDrron TIMES What has become of the
Union and Chester Marrow Gauge? Have the
people grown faint hearted or have the s. C. r.
r., G & G. r. r. & 8. U. & C. r. RS, reduced
transportation charges to fair line? Marrow
Gduge-rosd to Chester would certainly bring
about q good deal of Intercourse between seca
tions Of this State and North Carolina, now al
most entirely cut of, and if such q line were
constructed, rs matter of course almost, would
follow an extension Of the line to Laurens
c. H.. or some other Western terminus. If the
statistics furnished by the Chester Reporter, rs
to the saving in actual money to the people of
Chester, on freights, can be relied on, don't
see how or why your people should give it up.
One thing is certain, the business of Union
cannot compete with other points possessing
cheaper transportation and other facilities for
drawing custom. Whatever affects the mer:
chants, also affects the farmer. Tho merchant
cannot sell his goods @Rcheap as merchants at
other points, unless he has equal advantages,
aud the farmer can't afford to buy unless he CON
sell his produce at prices such as he can get

or submit to the.-.unjust taxation of the old

ty impoverishcs it, to say ifotking Of tho waste
of time and wear and, tear of animals and wag-

is the better able it will be to sell goods cheap.
and tho better market it will always be for ev-

to tax drummcrs from other States. Upon first

seem as If they should pay taxes if our own
merchants did; but on reflection am not 10
sure of it. Ifit is intended to benefit Charles

move such restrictions upon trade MS embarrass s
her prosperity? What about the iniquitous R.

Heavy Judicial Loads.


The Columbia correspondent of the Charleston
News and Courier gives the following humorous
description Of the difficulties encountered by
Judges Mackey and Cooke in their hopes of re-
election
1t is amusing to hear Judges Mackey and
Cooke speak Of their chances of e-election, and
the difficulties under which they are laboring
Judge Mackey says: ~ wouldn't for the
world say anything against Cooke, but the fact
is, he is terrible lead for me 10 carry" "And
BESIDES" says he, eve are not all on the came
footing. My claims on the Democratic party
are unquestionable." Judge Cooke, on the 9TH
hand, says: "This opposition from my circuit
has done me an immense sight of good 1t has
put my friends on their mettle, and they have
takon off their coats and are working for me
tooth and nail. would not have tho slightest
doubt Of my selection il 1t was not that Mack
ey is such heavy load for me to carry. II is
hard to make the people see that we are by NO
means in the same boat, and that my claims up
on the Democratic party are un1isputed."
There is very little doubt that the delay has
proved very unfavorable to both Judges Mackey
and Cooke, despite the good humored view that
Judge Mackey takes of it, viz: .'Tbat the de-
lay is highly proper, in order that the candi.'
dates may have the opportunity of studying up
little law" As the matter now stands, /
think, as n body. the House favor the re election
Of Mackey aud Cooke, while, as o body, tho
Senate are In deadly opposition to their re-elec-
tion.

But not hearing from you was obliged, at the
last moment, to make an appointment, and &C.

effect which would follow, that 1 was authorized,
