CHARLESTON, September 29.-President
Turner, Of the University, was here this
week. Mr.. Turner will 90 into different
sections of the State, with q view to working
up an interest in the State University. He
is greatly grati6ed with the outlook at Nor
gsntown this term, and feels confident that
within q very short time the attendance at
the institution will be very materially in
creased. With the opening OF the present
term there we're over one third more stu
dents to enroll than at the same time last
year. Mr.. Turner says what the institution
u est needs at this time is q dormitory
large enough to accommodate go or 70
students. With this addition and improve
mtnt the young men would be brought more
under the immediate supervision and watch
fnl care of the faculty, which brings about
greater restraint and therefore closer sppli-
cation to studies among the students. With
an appropriation of several thousand dol
lars 3 dormitory, with the capacity above
described, could be erected, and in q very
short time the rent received from the same
would be sufficient to construct another
building which woulithen give the University
dormitory capacity enough to accommodate
all the students attending for many years to
come,
The Omces.
Some of the plumbs from the Admins
trstion basket have dropped in Charleston
curing the last month. Alvin Goshorn
has taken charge OF the collectors office,
R. r. Delaney will assume the duties OF
gauger0 October lsE. An intimate friend Of
Mr.. Ashby's announces he will 60 into the
pOstofice October lst.
Talking about postofiees reminds me ofa
statement made by a Charleston correspon-
dent to the REGrsTER that the appointment
of postmasters at Maiden and Coalburg were
unsatisfactory to a msjority of the Demo
Gratis of those respective neighborhoods. l
Rad q conversation the other even
ing with q gentleman who seems to
know sll the inside history of these
appointments and from him l learn that
the opposition or claim Of unsatisfactory
appointments comes from q few snti-Suyder
men, who. failing to receive the appoint
ment Of their friends, have attempted to
create the impression that Snyder's sp-
pointments are not entirely satisfactory to
q majority of the Democrats of the several
neighborhoods. | understand that Snyder,
in order to put the right men in the respec-
tive offices, visited both hamlets and got an
expression of the leading Democrats before
making the appointments, and that there is
little, If any, dissatisfaction, except in the
quarter noted above.
Il is reported here that the Senators and
Democratic Congressman from this State
will hold Q meeting in Washington Tuesday.

fort the balance returning after visiting
Natural bridge. The editors lust returning

The banquet rendered the visiting breth-
rem By the local press was rather an i'm
promptu affair as it was not determined up
