THE ERSKIHE Jun IORS.

| Some Account Of Th0ir Recent Icxhibition-
a Crrditnbln Display OF Talent and Cul-
turc, aud II Very Pleasant Entertainm1nt.
A correspondent of tho Rock Hill
Herald, writing from Duo West, May
lG, says:
The evening Of the 7th instant was
marked by the recurrence of tho an
nunl Junior Exhibition of Erskinc
College. AT s O'Clock large audi
encc, composed Of the beauty and tall
cnt Of the community, assembled in
Lindsay Hall under the stirring strains
of the Silver Corncts. n brilliant and
striking picture was presented to the
eye Of the observer rs he crossed its
threshold and advanced up tho long
aisle, for
"Within twas brilliant all and light
thronging scene OF ngures bright"
The stage, indeed the whole hall,
presented picturesque Us well rs clas-
sical appearance, being handsomely
decorated and garlandcd in rich
wrcaths ofgrccn, while on every side
hing suspended from their tcstooncd
hooks the heroes of our land honorcd
in arts and arms, the whole crowned
by the digniticd motto of the institution
cUm mOriduS c0njuncta.
The audience had not long to wait.
Headed by the marShals of the evening
came the "Juniors" whose oratioms
were TO furnish the evenings enter
tainmrnt. Their entrance was greeted
by Il burst of music from the Corncts
and by loud plaudits from the assem-
blcd audience. Advancing to the
rostrun they occupied the seats Of
honor. The programme of tho eve
ming was then announced by Erskinc's
youthful and talented President, DR..
W. Nj. Gricr. The speakers then pro-
cccdcd to deliver their orations. The
orations themselves were spirited,
crude efforts Of youth, yet written
with Il certain vivacity of style and
delivered in Il manner all nylow with
youthful ardor. They possessed, rs it
were, Il magnetic influence and spccdi-
ly. gained tho sympathy and good
wishes Of tho audience. "Thc elastic
spring OF BLOOD" aud the proud ambi-
tiOus glow fired the youthful check
and swcllcd the throbbing bosom us
tho band poured forth at the close Of
each Grafton strains "such as raised
t" heights Of noblest temper heroes
old arming to battle"
The fair ones of the audience showed
their appreciation Of the efforts Of the
young orators by showcring upon their
iavorites lovely bouquets, each speaker
being rewarded with the laurcls to
which his efforts entitled him. The
mcrrilncnt Of the evening was height
cncd by the appearance ofn burlcSquc
programme, cmbodying number Of
jokes and puns upon the speakers.
These excited much laughter among
the audience. especially among the
Sophomorcs, the originators Of the
sell, who rcioiccd at the manner in
which their "takc OFF, upon their fcl-
low Juniors had been received. The
speakers were kept in ignorance of the
fun, until at the close Of their orations
they were presented each with bogus
programme. They good humorcdly
appreciated the jokes, little disup-
pointed that the fun had been ut their
expense, yet determined to rctaliatc
ut the first opportunity. This finished
the programme.-Thc band struck up
one of its delightful airs and the audi
cncc dispersed delighted with thcircvc
ning's entertainment.

1 All. CHARLESTON COUNTY Convene
ton met OF Monday and sent nineteen
delegates to Columbia, four Of whom
are said to DC for General Gary. The
Convention favored Juno nominations.
Hon. NJ. z. O'Connor and Mr.. W. st.
j. Jervcy were endorsed respectively
for Congress and tho solicitorshir.
Mr.. Joseph W. Barnwcll was elected
county chairman for the next two
wears. This was happy selection.
MIR. Barmwell is Democratic to the
backbone, and is one of tho most earl.-
est and effective workers in the State.
Much of the organization of Charles
ton is due to his brain and untiring
energy; while he is one of those rare
individuals these days who work for
the party and not for self. Not a bet
ter man could be found for an active
and aggressive campaign, and we en-
pcct good results from his manage

GOVERNOR CoLQUiTr DENIES WITH
great power the charge that there was
any collusiom in the resignation of
Senator Gordon aud the appointment
of Governor Brown. Governor Brown
also denies any bargain and says
moreover That he intends to retain the
presidency Of his railroad. \ denial
from Senator Gordon is next in order.
We do not suppose that there was any
bargaining between these thrcc men,
but Colquitt evidently thinks Joe
Brown IA good man to have as a friend
in the present condition Of Georgia
politics. Tho appointment has eau scd
much surprise and considerable in
dignat!on. Joe Brown leaned far
over towards liadicalism after the
war. lie claims to have done so with
tho best intentions, but this is the
stcrcotypcd excuse. A disgruntlcd
correspondent writes that Georgia has
now in the United States Senate more
brains and less principle than any
other two States put together. Hard
on Ben and Joe.

a CORRESPONDENT FROM THIS PLACE
in Tuesdays Rcgistcr, abiding to the
existing sentiment in certain portions
Of the State for third man for COVER
nor, suggested, in a very temperate and
digniticd way, General I}ratton as well
qualified to fill the position. The
RcgfSter'S comments werc in bad
taste, TO say the least Of it. No one
has attempted to deal an underhand
blow. On tho contrary all, advocacy
OF General Dratton's has been made
OH his merits. Few who stood where
the battle ragged hottest arc ignorant
Of General Bratton record as SOL
dicr. Still fewer who strovc for good
government and for the rights Of the
people, not only since 1876, when
Democracy became popular, but also
i'll tho dark days of Reconstruction
when to stnnd up for law and right
and justice was y thanklcss task, in
volving labor, risk and expense, arc
unaware of his record as a civilian.
That he has ever been in the van of
forlorn hope or desperate contest, and
cvcri in the rear in tho search for
spoils, may account for some of the
ignorance expressed Us to his record.
We should be very sorry to think
with the Register that ''thc people at
large feel little or no excitement about
the matter one way or another, SO
that, provided they get good, sound,
safe man for governor, they arc willing
to play quits with the whole thing.''
IT this lukcwarmness prevails, the
Democracy will be in a bad way in
the face OF opposition. General IIa-
good has real, positive merits and he
has active, earnest supporters in the
State. 1t is unjust to him to allow it
to DC supposed that his success would
be due only to tho apathy Of the peo-
pie, and the weakness Of his opponent.
we fear that General Hagood is as
unfortunate in some of his friends as
is General Gary. Fortunately he has
icwer Of them, or there might be
very serious disposition on the part
OF the people to hunt up third man
even If they had to get one whose
record Is not found in the musty statis-
tics of tho Register. We do not Judge
Hclcral liagood by such friends.

Determined 70 Die TsKetn er.

After William Baker had been SEN
fenced on Saturday, at Troy, N. Y, to
three years. imprisonment in State
Prison for burglary and grand larceny,
he had long interview with his wife
at the Jail. Mrs. Baker then wen: to
a drug store to get laudanum. Her
tsther-in-law, who had followed, order
ed the clerk not to sell the drug. The
woman then went to another store, and
the old man went to the Jail and told
the turnkey that he thought Baker and
his wife intended to poison themselves.
Half an hour later Mrs. Baker present.
ed herself at tbs prison door and ask
ed to be conducted to her husbands
cell. She was seized and searched,
when bottle OF laudapum and load
ed revolver were discovered in her
dress pocket. The poison and the
weapon we're taken from her, in spite
of her desperate resistance and of her
frantic declaration, "We will die to.
gether.' The unfortunate woman was
removed to her home in PowDall, Vt.
She is not mere than sixteen years old,
and married Baker without knowing
any thing of his ch aracter. Baker is an
old criminal.

RnudeIiAnd Maiuo FusionIsts.

The story was current about the Cap
itol yesterday that Speaker Randall
had sent telegram to the fusion leaders
Ia Maine to hold on the State House at
all hazards. Many Democrats who
heard the story believed it to be true
from certain remarks dropped by the
the Speaker, and they were considsra.
bly, surprised to learn, last night, that
they had been deceived. Speaker Ran
dali says he has sent no despatch to
Maine although he was requested by
telegram to give an authoritative opin.
ion as to what properly constituted
a quorum of the Maine Legislature in
it's present condition. He thought this
was very grave question and he did
not propose to be caught by sending an
immediate answer. He will take time
to consider it,..aud undoubtedly hopes,
alohough he does not say SO, that the
Fusion Legislature may disappear be-
fore he can frame an answer. Mr..
Randall is becoming very discreet and
is taking lessons from Tilden.
