The Debt Due by the State 70 Her
University.

The pamphlet containing all the laws
relating to the University Of Mississippi,
compiled by II. NJ sullivan, Esq,
shows very conclusively that the United
States gave lands in trust TO the State
for the benefit Of the University, that
the State accepted the trust, sold the
land and used the money. Now
through very clear and strong show
ing, in memorial address signed by
Judges w. p. Harris, II. H. Chalmers,
II. f. Simrall, and Mr.. Sullivan, as a
committee representing the trustees,
the Legislature is asked to recognize the
debt, which has been computed at s544-,
900, due by the State to the University,
and pay six per cent. interest annually
on same, amounting 10 about s32 600
A bill to this effect has passed the Senate
and the friends Of the University are
anxious that it shall become law. IL
would certainly be greatly TO the adj
vantage Of the institution, as it would
insure its permanence, and relieve its
management Of that feeling Of depend
ence and uncertainty so unfavorabe to
success. The institution would thus
be taken out of the domain Of politics,
and the Trustees and Faculty would be
untrammeled in their efforts to make
the University the equal ofany institu-
ton in the land. The very best talent
could be commanded and retained in
the several Professorships, because of
the certainty Of support. A recognition
of the debt would amount to respect
able endowment, and the annual pay
ment Of the interest would cost the
State no more than the APP
preparations that have been or
may be made by Legislatures
friendly to the University. The appro-
priations for the last four years have
been thirty thousand dollars per annum.
THE CLARIol, advocated a liberal appro-
priation to the Agricultural and Me
chanical College, and we think the Leg
islature has met the public wish in pro-
viding for the building and equipment
of that institution. The trustees made
what seemed to be u reasonable request,
and it was respected Now the Univer-
sity trustees have indicated how that in
stituton may be placed on a more pros
porous and efficient footing, and we hope
to be able to chronicle the fact that the
policy which they propose has met
the approval of the House, as it
has that of the Senate. With these
two Institutions thus provided for,
and with u generous fostering of
the Colleges for the higher education
of our colored population, and with a
good common school system, our progress
in the cause OF education will be in
keeping with the spirit of the age
We hope, too, ere long, to be able to
see ample provision made for the
education of the daughters of Mississip-
pi. Private institutions, and private
enterprise, have accomplished much in
this behalf in Mississippi, but we see no
reason why our male youth should have
| monopoly of whatever the State may
be able to give toward the higher edu-
cation of her children.

The California Legislature has passed
and the Governor has signed bill pro-
vidng for the enforcement of that
clause Of the new State Constitution
which forbids the employment Of Chi
nese labor by corporations organized and
doing business under the laws of the
State. The bill was promptly signed
by the Governor. 1t Furnishes with a
fine of 500 to 81 600 or Imprisonment
for 80 TO 800 days, or both, any Direc-
tor Of any present or future corporation
organized under California law that
shall employ in any manner or ca
pacity upon any work or business of
such corporation any Chinese or Mon
golion." A second onensc is punisha-
bic by n fine of from $500 to 5000, or
25O days to two years in prison, or both.
The charter of the corporation may also
be annuled. Now, would be good
time for the States in need of labor to
supply themselves with Chinese labor.
Its cheapness has caused the opposition
to it in California among the other
working classes. The Chinese take no
part in politics; but devote them.
selves exclusively to the work they un.
dertako to perform. Onnumerous sugar
and cotton plantations in Louisiana
they have been ascertained to be adapti-
bic and useful.

The Newton Knight Relief Bill.

In another column we have printed
the bill, which friend at Washington
has been considerate enough TO send US,
that was introduced by Bruce few
days ago, in the United States Senate,
for the "relief" Of Newton Knight and
other persons therein mentioned. Ii
was introduced by unanimous consent,
read twice and referred to the Committee
on Claims. The bill, if passed, would
be fraud on the government. 1t is
predicated on the fiction that the par
ties for whose benefit it purports TO have
been offered, rendered the United States
Government service as knights Com
pany United States Infantry in the
late sectional war. From what we can
learn, there was no such company mus
tered into the United States Army
The pretended military company,
as we are informed, was, for
the most part band Of bushwack-
ers, deserters from the Confederate
army, and persons who escaped the Wig
lance Of conscript officers, and from
hiding places carried on q sort of
predatory business at the expense of
their ncighbors who were in the South
ern army. A portion Of them took
refuge under the Butler government in
New Orleans and never returned.
Some ofthc elan still live in the vicini-
ty where they formerly resided, and
have become law-abiding, good citizens
They were probably mislead in the first
instance. Knight himself, the chiefbe
eiiciary and The head Of the clan.
still lives in the Southern portion of
Jasper county, and is "truly loyal" in
living up to the social equality doc
trines OF the extreme ltadicalism which
he incnlcates by prccept and example,
as essential elements of loyalty. We
are not prepared to forecaste the fate of
the Bruce bill but it is due to candor
to say that il is fraud in the prcsump-
tons that Knight and his elan were n
company of United States soldiers.

Thursday was quite success for the pres

afternoon Messrs. D. Wyatt Aiken and Jas.

very little enthusiasm was exhibited, the

The oconeo Radicals.

The Radicals of Oconee County held an
other Convention on Thursday last, the
object of which was to elect delegates to
the State, Congressional and Judicial Con-
yentions Bill Parker, the Radical County
Chairman of Anderson County, was in at
tendance, and from communication to the
Columbia Register we learn took quite an
active part in the proceedings.
The meeting was called to order by NJ. Fl.
Brice, County Chairman, and after declar-
ing himself elected permanent chairman
upon motion to elect "a chairman" pro-
ceeded to settle the question as to which of
two contesting delegations were entitled to
seats in the Conv vention. A committee
was appointed to report upon the matter,
and upon submitting their report recon-
mended that half Of each delegation be
seated: This was objected to by one of the
contesting delegates, who declared that if
part Of them were turned out they would
all go to hell together. Here the confusion
became so great that Bryce. the Chairman,
was powerless to command order, and Bill
Parker, from Anderson, came forward and
assumed the chair to Quell the violence
threatening, but even his laundering voice
met the same fate as the former. Still the
confusion became greater and greater, many
angry ueSTOeS UeluS oll ltS hooi az ohCC.
Finally one young and stout negro gave
blow to the appointed rgcant-at-arms,
when the two parties began to concentrate
their forces, gathering close together. Bill.
the Anderson negro, and, by the wey, a
preacher, and another preacher raised one
Of those good old hymns, and then we had
cursing, swearing, fighting and music all in
one scene. But the good old music had the
desired effect, and the chair announced the
house ready for business. One party de-
clared "this is not legal mectin' no kow,"
and so on for about two and half hours,
when the proposition for a compromise was
accepted. Bill. above named, was chosen
permanent Chairman. and, at this, Bryce
was so aggrieved that he thought proper to
leave the house. AS he left many of the
negroes rallied on him to so homc-that his
beef shop had run dry any how" At his
departure his followers followed suit and
left the opponents to run the machine.
A difficulty now occurred between the
aforesaid Bill and one of the Bryce crowd,
but was ended in words, but somewhat
lengthy quarrel, so Mt this Bills opponent
left the hall. Bill announced the house
ready for business, and they proceeded to
elect their delegates. And, by the way,
there were two large bull dogs to bay and
bark while the delegates cursed, sung and
fought.
This was one of the most disgraceful Con.
ventions ever held in the up-country. The
negroes were in high tone over the defeat of
Bryce. They say they never can look to
gain anything under such q leader.
