The Camp Meeting at Sandy
Springs,

Wcprint this week on our first pngo tho
comments Of tho press on the conduct of many
of tho attendants upon tho camp meeting at
Sandy Springs on Sunday. Tho conduct Of
somc wes roprchonsiblo in the highest dogrec,
and we are glad tho press has spoken freely
and fully upon tho matter. We do not think
tho railroad authorities were to blamo, because
it has boon customary to run trains on Sun
day in moro limited way. Tho fault lies in
tho corruption or decentralization OF the people.
Wo hopo tho strong arm Of Justice will apply
tho only remedy We think available just now.
However, tho good people Of cities, towns
and ncighborhoods should see to it that such
conduct should bo wooded out by the best
means at hand. Carrying concealed weapons
and the solo Of liquor ,pt~ such placos aro
crying evils. We Iopo our legislators may
Disable toaeSise law which will eradicate
or euro these frightful evils.

The Meeting on Saturday.

Tho meeting hold on Saturday last, to discuss
the change in the feaco law, was tho largest
collection of people we have seen assembled in
shc Court House for any purpose. Fully four
fifths of tho meeting appeared to bo opposed to
any change of tho law, and camc principally
from the upper part of tho county. The temper
Of the meeting at tho outset was boisterous in
tho extreme, and very much disinclincd to listen
to any discussion of tho subject. Finally how
ever, Mr.. u. f. Crayton, of Anderson, who
had been invited by some Of our citizens to be
present. was allowed to give tho experience of
tho workings Of the law in that county. That
ho did in plain, practical manner, but his
remarks mado very littlo impression on tho
meeting. Short speeches were made by Mcssrs.
Dunn and Abbott against any change in tho
law upon this subject.
Wc regret tho temper Of tho meeting, SO far
as tho refusal to hear discussion upon this
or any other subject is concerned, because in
FREQ discussion alone rests thu development Of
TRUTH and also tho best interests of The country.
~ number Of persons in the meeting seemed
to misapprchend its object, Us wo have mover, in
single instance, heard that any one was in
favor of extending tho fenoc law over the entire
county, especially tho upper part where it would
not probably bo to the best interest of the peo-
pic 10 do so. We have been in favor of tho
people Of the lower part of the county settling
this matter by ballot for themselves, as tho law
provides.

The University.

Tho trustees Of tho South Carolina Uniycr
sity have been in session in Columbia Tho
1eomam says there were present the following
prominent individuals who aro connected
with educational matters in tho State; Co

Board, Senator John II. Kinsler Maj. Hugh
s. Thompson, James II. Rion, Esq, Charles

Tho following gentlemen, having been in
vitcd to attend tho meeting, took their seats:
The Rev. G.. w. Holland, President of
Ncwborry College, the Hon. N. r. Middleton,
President Of Charleston College, the Rev. ".
NJ. Grcr, d. D., President of Erskne College.
Letters wcro received from several persons
who had been invited to be present. expressing
their rogrots ut not being able to attend the
meeting. Prof James II. Carlisle, of Wof-
ford College, was dotainod at homo on account
of sickness.
Tho Committee which had been appointed
at the last mceting to draft q plan for an
agricultural college, submitted voluminous
report This report suggested that an agri.
cultural college be founded and carried on in
tho University buildings and grounds in this
city. The subject was fully discussed by tho
mombers of tho Board and the College Pres.
idcnts, and it was generally conceded that tho
organization Of such an institutions was both
important and practicable. 1t was voted
that copies Of the plan submitted by the com>
mitteee should be furnished to the presidents
Of colleges and mombers Of the board. Tho
meeting then adjourned to meet the second
Wednesday 10 November. Judging BY the
present indication, we do not think tile early
reopening of the University at all probable.
From the lights before us we are inclined to
believe that this action in regard to tho OPEN
ing Of an agricultural college is fatal to the
prospects Of the University.
We are glad to see that thcre is prospect
of tho establishment of an agricultural COL
lege in Columbia. This Of itself will not kill
tho University. Tho University will be
brought into existence. if there bo need for
it. There is no need for it at present.
The Ohio canvass is so close that neither
party (whatever may be the result) can claim
much for its prospect u 1880. 1t is conf.
dently claimed. however, that Mr.. Thurman
will DO re,oleeted to tho United States Senate.

NEW York. September 29.-The argument
to compel tho Calvary Cemetry authorities to
inter tho body Of Dennis Copper. which thoy
refuse to do on the ground Of his being a Free
Mason, was continued to-day in tho Supreme
Court before Judge Westbrook. The counsel
for the cemetery trustees argued that the Gem.
etcry was for tho burial Of Catholics alone;
that it was not shown that Copper attended
any Catholic Church, and that Protestant
rites woro read over him; that the receipt Of
tho purchase money of the plot was not in
tho nature of q deed or conveyance as re-
quircd by law and gave no right of land, and
that the hoirs or devisees are not the execu.
tors woro the parties to come into court and
claim burial for the body. Counsel for the
relatives Of tho decedent in reply argued that
next of kin in tho absence of express testa-
mentery provision tc The contrary were tho
proper parties 20 begin and sustain such
action, and that Vicar General Quinn'S opin-
ion in regard to excluding FREQ Masons from
burial in consecratcd ground was far from
being well founded. rs reference to tho de-
crcos and laws of the second Plenary Council

TIRE THEOLOGICAL. SE@lNARY.-Our readers
will share with US in feelings of deep regret
at the announcement that the Theological
Seminary Of the Presbyterian Church, situa-
ted in this city, will probably suffer serious
loss by the failure of Adgcr 6 Co. The
extent of their loss has not yet been accurately
asccrtained, but those who ure in position
to know think that it will hardly be less than
$4,000 or 5000. If this proves to bo the
case, tho Institution will be left without the
means of continuing it's exercises. Tho
request of the Board Of Directors to Rev. Dr..
Plumcr that ho would visit the churches of
tho State in behalf Of the SEMINARY was
made before tho failure of alessrs. Aager &
Co. was known, and now ;he necessity for his
doing SO is of course greater than it was then.
We sincerely trust Tint his mission may be
abundantly blessed and that some means will
be Providontially founI for the mnintenacc Of
this most useful institution. There are now
twcnty-o ono students training for the Gospel
ministry within its walls, thirteen of them
arc in the senior class, six in the middle and
two in the junior, and its graduates arc sca.~
tered not only over tho Southern States but
over tho American continent and tho world.

by Southern mills during tho year 1889 at

North Carolina standing second and South

not carry these invalid obligations. We then
may estimate that this decision shuts OFF

because tho State is held by the court never
