candidate who shall he placed be-
fore the Democratic caucus. Such

A Financial Nut Cracker,

The Ncaos and Courier cracks
our financial nuts with neatncss and
dispatch. But it strikes us that the
implement used is q kind of re-
pudiation hammer.
IHe News and Courier docs not
think the State owes consideration
to those "insatiate" bondholders,
who, having paid good money
before tho war, relying on the faith
of the State, now decline to accept
the Radical compromise of fifty
cents on the dollar.
Tt also holds that "the settlement
under the Consolidation Act is
cheap, and right or wrong, the
Democratic party stand pledged to
abide by it," If cheapness is q
merit, would not General Hemphill's s
adjustment of 100000 (provided
he can run the gauntlet of the
courts) be better still?
Ihe Neaos md Courier holds that
tho relief to be given to the nom
funding bondholders is the funding
of their dobt at fifty conts on the
dollar, tho loss of the other fifty
cents being "incidcnt to tho results
of the war, like the emancipation Of
slaves and the depreciation Of prop
erty." Would the bondholders of
Virginia and Tennessee be satisfied
with fifty cents on the dollar and
has not II proposition to scale their
bonds because Of "depreciation" &c.
been rudely stigmatized as '.repu-
diation" ?
Their is no payallel between ante bel
|'t"e purchasers Of bonds and trus-
tees who bought Conversion bonds
Mt seventy cents on tho dollar. The
former relied on tho credit of tho
State which was unimpeached. The
lattor bohght Radical bonds which
were stigmatized as fraudulent
themselves, and repudiated by all
the Democrats.
If we scale because of "deprecia-
ton" why stop at fifty cents, when
twenty-five cents is nearer ap-
proclamation to the relative wealth
of tho State ?"
Lastly, to the consolidated bond
holders the Democrats may say, "You
agreed to take fifty cents on the
dollar, and we cannot help you"
But if the Democrats apply the
procrustean rule now to those who
refused to compromise and fondly
waited for Democratic supremacy
to have their just claims paid, they
arc guilty. primarily, of ropudiation.
Mother tho Democrats nor the
recalcitrant bondholders were par
tics to the Consolidation Act, and
the former cannot include tho latte,
in its sweeping provisions without
becoming guilty of reputation.
In our opinion, it is absurd tc
talk of honor in connection with
the Consolidation Act. That meas
ure was q disgusting piece of busi
ness. 1t was bald repudiation
nothing less. If the courts compe
us to pay the funded debt, vel
enough. But no court can compe
an ldhond holder to fund, and b
has the right to aaunt his bond, il
!, any: face and yell "Repudiation" til
he is hoarse. And tho worst Of i

The State University.

|
Carolina College has evoked heated
debate in the House of Representa-
tives. The gist of tho arguments of
the opponents of the measure seems
to be that the State cannot afford to
give higher education at present
to her young men, that the old COLI
lego was al aristocratic institution
and lastly, and apparently especially,
that it's rehabilitation will interfere
with the sectarian colleges at press
ent existing. In our opinion mono of
these reasons is sufficient to defeat
tho measure. True, the State has
not o superabundanco Of wealth to
lavish on educational institutions.
But it should be remembered that
tho citizens of tho State who send
their sons to college aro the ones
who pay tho bulk of the two mill
tax for educational purposes.
And while it is proper That all
classes should receive primary edu-
cation from the State, still the men
of property, who dofray the expenses
of public schools, have tho right to
demand that portion of this school
money DO applied to the mainton-
ance Of m institution affortling fa-
cilities for the higher education of
their sons.
A fundamental difference exists
between the old free schools and
tho new public schools. The former
were intended for the indigont
alono but the latter know no class
and no distinct )ns Of wealth. The
son of the millionaire and Of the
pauper aliko imbibe knowledge at
tho expense Of the State. Let tho
State College cap the system of
FREQ education, 80 that tho property
owner will not be compelled to pay
his quota Of tho school tax, and be
compelled in addition to defray the
heavy expense attendant on sending
his son to private institutions Of
learning. The existence of State
College will not prevent him from
patronizing private institutions ifhe
prefers.
The charge tl2at the old college
was m aristocratic institution is
groundless. Numbers of poor boys
entered that institution, wore aided
in their endeavors, and graduated, to
become honored and eminent citi-
zens. Prescription found no foot
hold in that classic ground.
The last objection urged is un-
tenable. Can the State pause in
any measure Of public improvement
for fear of intruding on any private
enterprise Should the State re-
fuse to establish factories on tho
Columbia canal because they would
compete with Graniteville, Pied
mont or Langley? Should she halt
in the completion of the grand
system of railways for fcar of injur-
ing those already in existence
Should sho cease to hire out conyicts
because this might seriously inter-
fore with honest laborers ? In fne,
should she abolish the whole system
of public instruction under tho
apprehension that it will, soonor or
lator, knock private schools "highor
than a kite"
Tho argument used in behalf of
private colleges applies equally to
private schools. During the whole
period of Reconstruction while these
colleges were engaged III their noble
mission, hundreds Of teachers were,
in IN unostentatious way, educating
thousands of children free Of charge.

New YORK, June 22-The Sag this morn
ing prints very spirited reply by Hon. A. s.

him to which Hon. Henry Wataerson yester-
day gave utterance. Hewitt says: "Ever

In order to put Tilden into the White House
he has never ceased to misrepresent nv
declarations, purposes and actions. With q
rnalignity which he scarcely seeks TO disguise,
he has persistently accused me Of suppressing
q telegram from 1ilden in regard to the Elec-
toral Commission, whereas the fact is never
received from Mr. Tiden telegram on that
or any other subject after the meeting of Con-
gress in 1876, and Tilden assured me that he
never sent any telegram to me, so that Wat
terson cannot even justify his assertion by
the poor excuse that it may have miscar-
ried."
Hewitt then proceeds to sharply dispose of
Watterson's charges in detail, and says the
facts presented plainly show that Watterson
relies more upon his imagination than his
memory In his attacks upon him.

CINCINNATI, June GA special to the Gin
cinnaH Commerciat from Glasgow Junction,
KY, june I'll, says; Another wonderful cave
was recently discovered near this town 1t
has already been explored for distance Of,
twenty three miles In Que direction, called
the long route, and sixteen miles in another
direction, called the short route The avenues
are very wide. A span of horses can easily be-
driven through for a distance OF eleven miles
Three rivers, wide and very deep, are en-
countered on the long route; one Of them Is
navigabIe for fourteen miles, until the passes
become too narrow to admit boat This
forms the third or river route which has to
be explored in boat.
The cave Is wonderful beyond description
and far surpasses in grandeur the Mammoth
or any cave ever before discovered Several
mummified remains have been discovered in
one of the large rooms. They were reposing
In stone coffins, rudely constructed. and from
APPEARANCES may have been in this cave for
centuries. They present every appearance Of
the Egyptian mummies. Great excitement
prevails over this important discovery.
Mr. Edwin Mortimer, Of Chestnut street,
Louisville, KY, purchased three OF the mum
mics, and has them now In his possession
Major George M. Proctor, Of Glasgow juno
tion, KY, purchased the remainder Of the
mummies from the owner OF the cave, whose
name Is Thomas Kelly. He is, or rather was
few days ago very poor man, struggling
TO make payment on farm Of tWenty-four
| acres, upon which, by mere accident. the en-
He realized about S400 from the sale of the
mummies, and is now offered $4,000 cash for
the cave.
The entrance to the cave is within town

the depot, which makes it very valuable in
deed, as visitors will not be compelled to
