To EDITOR KEowsE CoURlER-Dear Sir: On

issue of The Goth instant, in which / find some
striotures on the management Of the Board Of
Visitors under tho question, evil tho institur

small place for reply.
You say lin our judgment tho price for pay
cadets should be the actual expenses, to wit:
tuition, board, clothing, &c., leaving to tho
institution o margin of soy $25 on the oalcula-
ton" 1t is surprising how your judgment,
Mr.. Editor, and the judgment Of tho Board
eaac;iy correspond. The Board did just what
you suggest and approve.
A committee was appointed to estimate the
actual expenses Of n cadet, not US In Adger or
Wofford, for , ine months, but as in the Military
Academy for ie2elJe That committee expended
much time and labor in discharging their duty
and reported separately to the Board the result
mates of the members Of tho committee for
board, tuition, clothing, fires, lights, books,
medical attendance, washing, in short, for the
complete maintenance OF oadet for twelve
months varied between the extremes Of $273
and $278. The Board adopted the mean amount
and to the calculation added just the amount
your judgment approves, viz: $25 as q margin
of profit TO tho institution to meet unforeseen
contingencies. :
AS chairman of that committee know tho
statement given to be correct, and as q member
Of the Board, with the necessary expenses Of o
cadet for one year in detail item by item, before
my eyes, I.should feel unworthy Of the trust
should consent, at the suggestion of friends or
foes Of tho institution, to strike off one.third of
the actual cost and either involve The State in
debt or close tho institution before the end of
year. Respectfully,
SAMUEL B. JONES.

principles for the party. 1t will also be called

This will prove q vexed question and will doubt
less be largely discussed, as q number of coun-

and advocate future representation on the basis
of the Democratic votes of each county, in

the proceedings will be harmonious and that

proposition Is before Congress- to alter
the Constitution of tho United States, so as
TO authorize the President to veto any section
Of bill without his veto defeating tho
whole bill. Suoh provision is wiso and
should form part of every State Constitu4
ton. In the past in Congress bills promotivo
Of public good have been defeated because of
obnoxious features contained in them. So,
too, bills prcjudiciul to tho public interests
have becn passed, because to vote them down
or to veto them would defeat somo important
provisions. popular measure is covered
with unpopular riders and all must aand or
fall together. So, too, the most Objectionable
measures are forced through Congress by
placing MS riders on bills, the general features
of which meet universal approval
In tho late naval appropriation bill our
members had either to support Robeson's
swindling measures or defeat bill tho
appropriations in which they considered cs-
sental to tho running Of tho government.
Such provision is moro important in tho
Constitution of the United States than in our
State Constitution. In our State every Lil
must relate to but ono subject and that must
DO expressed in the title, while in Congress
tho most incongruous measures may be
in tho same bill, and that, too, to any extent
and any number.
