to protect the people against water
ing the bonded Indebtedness Of rail
roads defeated. ] have seen four,
teen thousand dollars voted to the
military companies. whilst the claims
OF. disabled soldiers have been rejec-
ted. I have used my best efc,ts,
without effect, 10 prevent an appro-
priatioD Of twenty thousand dollars
to the Citadel Academy, an institu-
ton unknown to the Constitution Of
this State, and made a part Of the
University contrary to that Consti-
tuition, and now am called upon to
vote for an appropriation Of fifteen
thousand dollars to that University
of Columbia. 7 call your attention
to that section Of the Constitution
under which that institution claims
its existence. Better for the South
Carolina College that it had never
been changed to aUniversity. The old
time honored institution, was dear to
the people Of this State, and when the
change took place, much Of its glory
departed. Now, you Will see. By re,

CLOSE OF THE VOLUME

With this issue the HERALD and NEWS
closes its goth volume. The past year
has been one Of unprecedented STRAIN.
With each year since the close OF the
war the times seem to have grown har-
der. Each year the cry was this has
been the hardest that we have passed
through, but the hope was universally
expressed that the next would be better.
This hope however has not been realized,
alas, far from il. Worse and worse has
it grown, until NOM we can truthfully
say that the year 1854 has clapped the
climax. Bat it has not been so bad as 1t
might have been. We have much to be
thankful for. We have had food and
raiment. but very little money. In TACT
money has never been scarcer, and we
have the bitter prospect OF commencing
the New Year with the lighteSt OF pock-
cts. our wallets look literally as if an
elephant had tramped upon them. Alas
that it should be so. The hope is enter
tained by some persons that boom will
be given to business next Spring, but we
are not of those who have this hope, we
do not look for happy change until the
fall. This Is long time to wait, but
that we must wait and possess our souls
in patience is foregonc conclusion.
We must wait. Sometime change
will come, and what . happy change 1t
will be. We are lost in contemplating
It. 1t will indeed be q happy time when
we can put our hands into our pockets
and pull out big dollar that we can
call our OWE, one that we can spend as
our inclination invites.
The HERALD and NEWS has felt the
stringency this year IS it has never felt
it before, it has indeed been from hand
to mouth with us, and more frequently
the mouth has been disappointed. We
are content though, for others have Geen
in the same boat, and have had to pad
die as hard as we have. We hote that
our readers appreciate Tie fact, and that
such Of these as are able will help Us by
their subscriptions 10 work o"t the neNt
year, and keep Us ftam getting on lee
shore. In the hope that the next year
will not be as hard As the past, We trust
that this Will be 20 one and all 4 merry
and happy Christmas.

ton to an amount not exceeding
twenty thousand dollars, and that
amount has already been given to q
so called branch, the Citadel. This
House is in a dilemma, TO give any
thing to the College at Columbia, the
appropriation to the Citadel must be
reconsidered, and that amount must
be divided between the Citadel and
the College at Columbia. Bnt just
here another difficulty stares US III
the face. The College is dividing
with Clafin University the sum ar's-
ING from the interest on the Agrlcui-
tural Land Scrip Bonds amounting
to over one hundred and ninety
thousand dollars, and yielding an IN
terest of over eleven thousand. So
from the share Of the College, ten
thousand dollars, you must take at
least FIVE thousand dollars; and l
wish to say just here, that the agrl'
cultural community Of this State has
been unjustly deprived of . 1uno
given by Congress for the specific
purpose Of establishing an Agrlcul,
tural College, In proof of what |
say, Georgia, Mississippi and Texas
each having University, have never
the,ess taken this fund given by
Congress and have each established
an Agricultural College, separate
and distinct from their Universities

FROM d Now 1Ork OpeCldl.J
"Git onter de bull" shrieked little
ragged boy at Forty-ffth Street and
First Avenue yesterday, at about noon.
A stately red steer. with long crumpled
horns, paid no attention, but continued
to walk down the avenue. The boy
threw stone at the animal and other
boys stimulated the steer into q trot,
and at Thirty-third Street he seemed
bent on beating Maud S. record. He
turned westward along Thirty-third
Street, pursued by mob of boys, Slim
Policeman Croker of Capt. Ryan's COM
mand, like st. Peter, followed afar off.
At Fourth Avenue and Thirty-third
Street is little park, playground for
children. The steer dashed into the
park. About twenty nurses and twice
as many children were there. They re-
treated to the northwest corner of the
Enclosure. The steer frisked around in
a ponderous fashion, and amused him
self by pitching rustic benches about
promiscuously. Very soon squad of
Capt. Ryan's police appeared. Mean
while the assistant gardener, Thomas
Smith, entered the park and made a
bold dash, when suddenly upon his Wis
ion rose half ton of settee. It passed
harmlessly over his head, and Smith
retreated, observing that he was not
great success as COW boy.
"That's Kerry steer" said Capt. Ryan.
81 came from that region myself" The
section of fat policemen formeda skirm-
ishing line, advanced on the children and
nurses aud crowded them into the cor
ner. Evidently this strategy surprised
the steer, for he fell back into a stable
yard. Several shots were fred at him
with disastrous effect to the board fence.
Quick as thought the gate was closed,
and the steer pranced cheerfully about
the yard. Presently he heard success
sion of dull thuds, and blue cap and
an irregular line. of gray helmets APP
peared above the fence, which gave
way. Capt. Ryan landed in an elegant
sitting posture inside the yard, picked
himself up and ran at a helpless two
horse truck twenty feet off. He climbed
upon it, followed by his men. A brisk
fire was opened in the general direction
of the steer who was struck by several
splinters from the fence. It was a fear
full scene. The incessant firing, the
screams of the nurses, the agonized look
of Assistant Gardener Smith and the
frightful laceration of the fence COM
bined to make it so. After all the
ammunition was exhausted it was OBJ
served that the prodigious excitement
was beginning to tell on the nerves of
the steer. Smith ran into the Fourth
Avenue stable, where he found an old
musket. He took it out and fred it of.
In the course of half an hour the steer
fell. Then his throat was cut and his
remains transported to the offal dock.

The Jailer's Perquisites.
From the London Echo.l


The following strange story is related
by the Dhubri correspondent of Cal
cutta paper: The Bengal iailer at
Gauhati seems to have given offense to
a Marwaree in the station in connection
with some pecuniary transaction. The
Marwaree smelt out somehow that the
jailer was making fortune out of the
prisoners, and gave information to the
European superintendent of the Jail
that things were not as they should be.
He was asked to sign a charge, and
really did so, and on search warrant
being obtained, the native jailer's quar-
ters were found to be veritable depot
for all the stolen goods in the station
for many months past.
But the story did not end here, and.
though it may be termed romance, the
facts are worthy of more than newspa-
per record. It TRANSFERRED that this
Bengal jailer had to look to the safety
of two old offenders who were then un-
dergoing long sentences of imprison-
ment in the Jail. He would let them
out after dark to commit burglaries and
thefts, and let them in again before
daylight, pocketing the proceeds of all
their doings during the night, and lay
ing up the store which was afterward so
rudely broken into,
