A Plea for State White Female
College.

EDToRs CLAR1oE:-In the DAILY CLAIR
1oSoi the 30th, is an extract from the Co
lumbus Index, advocating the establishment
of n State Military Institute at Pass Chris
tian Before the Legislature becomes gem
erous it should be just, and it certainly APP
pears to me, that while 80 much has
been done towards furnishing facili-
ties for the education of the, males
of the State, justice would demand
that some aid should be given to the cause
of female education. 1t seems that there Is
now a large balance in the State Treasury
aud fifty or one hundred thousand dollars
could be applied TO this purpose, and would
respectfully submit, If there is any charity
in the State, which demands such an ex.
penditure more than this, and certainly nc
net Of public economy would eventually
rebound more TO the credit of the common
wealth An educated mother will educate
her offspring. An educated wife will make
home attractive to her husband. An edu.
Gated sister will humanize the brother. In
fact, there is every reason in favor Of such a
measure, and not single good reason to be
urged against it. The main difficulty il
seems, is in arousing the Legislature Ia
action on the subject, and understand that
there will be petition presented to the
present Legislature asking that an appropri.

action bo taken toward establishing such an
institution. Let the Military College pass
for the present. or If necessary, n military
course could be engrafted upon the "curri.
cuum' of the University Mt Oxford, with
but comparatively a triAng additional
cost. LEFLoRE.

The Nogro Migration 1ntestteatlons.


The investigations of the Senate com
mittse are bringing to light some Of the
ways by which the Republican man
ayers are trying to create discomfort
among the colored people of the South,
and get them TO colonize Northern
States in which Republicans are in
minority. The testimony Of Nj. Otuy,
an intelligentand educated colored man,
shows how INSCRIPTIONS politicians
have agitated the colored people Of
North Carolina against the advice and
protests Of the most intelligent colored
men and also against the wishes Of public.
spirited Republicans in that State. The
statements Of other witnesses and Of in.
telligent visitors to the South confirm
Mr.. Otuy's testimony. The fact that
Republican politicians are trying to un-
settle the eolored people in the South
and colonize them in doubtful North
ern States is unquestionable. And con
sidering the fact that these immigrants
are not wanted in Indiana or Ohio Of
other Northern States where they arr
being sent, that they are unused to tn,
climate and the methods of industry o
the North, that their removal entail
untold hardships and suGerings, tn
course ofthese Republican medlers dc
serves general condemnation.

Extaot Of Letter to Charleston News.l
Washington, ID. c., February Sd. 1885,
MIR. A. Nj. Hurst, the advance agent of about
two thousand English families who ore de-
srous of emigrating to this country, called
upon Senator Hampton yesterday to enquire
about the price of farm lands in South Car.
DINA, and to obtain osAer information of in.
terest to those whom he represents. Mr..
Hurst has recently purchased $4,000 acres
OF land in West Virginia, and proposes TO 20
direct to South Carolina for the purposes of
further investigation and investment Mr..
Hurst declares that many substantial and
well-to-do farmers of England are ready TO
remove TO America, and will come as soon
as homes are provided for their reception.
They have become greatly discouraged of
late on account of their losses occasioed by
the heavy importations of American "meatb
and grain, and they prefer to be ON the win.
ming side Of the water and compete with
American farmers on their own ground.

action that at comparatively small
outlay has aleady added millions to the

still more in the future. 1t is a whole

In the selection of Judge J. Y. George for
the high position of Senator in the Con.
gress OF the United States we are not in.
clined TO think with some Of our cotempo.
rarics Of the Mississippi press that any cen.
sure or condemnation has been thrown upon
the gentlemen who were prominent aspirants
for the position. Mssissippians have the
highest appreciation of the distinguished
men who have been foremost in rcdeeming

to ruin, but at tho same time they look To
the future az well as TO the past. Major
Barksdale, Col Singleton, Gen. Walthall,
and other prominent aspirants for the Sen.
alorship, had so many friends that it became
necessary TO find compromise man, and we
think probably no one could have been
chosen who would more thoroughly have
united the discordant elements than the
distinguished gentleman who has been
selected. In Gen. George we have repre-.
sentative man of the State, and all should
be satisfied, Matches Democrat.
And let us add that all are satisfied.
