The EsrSkine Student.

This is a handsomely printed monthly pa
per which is edited By some of the members
of the graduating class Of Erskinc College.
We believe the printing Of q College paper by
the students to hc an excellent WORK for
young men. College students, like other
young men, must Ave some recreation, some
rest from their daily work, and it seems tous
that writing for the public eye is not only a
recreation for the student, but that it is also
an improving practice. IthaS been adiudgcd
well for the student to write articles at stated
intervals forlhc criticism Of lis teacher. On
the same principle. it is well for him to write
articles for the public eye. Ey this VIC have
no reference TO the entirely original jokes and
exceedingly funny paragraphs at the expense
of 'TrepS,' that have been made to do ser
vice for Gignificd Seniors for the last thirty
years. neither do VIC include within the scope
of the studcnt-cditor's work the prcpa-
ration of pieces for the press, any of those
delicate references to the opposite sex, which
sometimes give a charm and q grace to the
columns Of n College Journal whose articles
are not reviewed by the College Professors.
The editing of 4 College newspaper Is quite
q different occupation from the work of print
ing Il newspaper which must be self:sustain-
ing, and which must make a fair return for
the daily labor expended upon it. The print
ing of Il College newspaper is a mere picnic in
journalism, where the eXcursiOniSts may en-
pend a little Of their surplus pocket money,
and where the useful work OF writing may DC
INDUCED in for Il time with profit to the stu
dent, and without injury to any one. 1t is
we'll then for the College authorities to allow
their students to prin: such papcrs-if the
tenchcr reads, approves, c%orrcct', or suppress
cs their articles as the requirements in each
case may appear best to him. The work OF
the College newspaper is Il specimen of the
educational work Which is done in the Col
lego, and for this reason VIC believe these pub.
LEGATIONS should be, by right, supervised by
some of the College authorities. Though we
have not examined it thoroughly, the issue Of
the ErShine S?micnt which is now before us,
appears to be fully up to the best standard of
all that should DC expected Of my College
he Tspaper.
We place the Sttdcm on our exchange list
with pleasure, and shall look to its columns
for matters which may hc useful TO us and
entertaining 10 the readers Of the Press and
E0nntr.
The Press and Banner extends the best Of
wishes for each Of the young gentlemen who
contribute to the makeup of so excellent a
journal us that which halls from ErSkinc COL

Christrnaa Week Among tiae Country
Editors.

According to a custom which has long been
honorcd BY the country press, very many of
our country exchanges have printed or will
print only half sheet this week, or else will
suspend entirely. We have tried the plan OF
printing no paper at all, and of printing only
half sheet, hut have been for Il number of
years printing a whole sheet on Christmas
week. We Ike the plan. BY reducing the
amount of reading matter q whole sheet can
be printed nearly as easily as a half-slcet.
During Christmas week there is often Il spc-
cial reason for printing a paper, which will
likely not exist during any other week in the
year. For this and other reasons we print
the Press End Banner every week in the year,
even if We should DC prevented from putting
anything in it.

- Double Representation for Our
"TTealthy and snteIiigcnE'

The Senate and House of Representatives
did not, iii our opinion, manifest the best OF
temper towards each other, and reminded US
of pouting children, who refused TO settle
their differences. AS n rue we think men
honestly differ from each other in opin-
ion On all questions Of public concern. and
there seemed to be no last cause for irritation
because the Senate disagreed with the House,
or rice rcrSu. But so it Was. The most impor-
questions Of disagreement was on the
free tuition in the University and on the Con-
sus bill. \ compromise was made whereby
the free tuition in the South Carolina College
was continued, and the Census bill was de-
fcatcd, thus securing TO Charleston six seals
in the House of Representatives which did
not belong to her. Charleston, besides ridi-
culing country delegates, and ridiculing Sec
onh.hund census, when she did not want first
hand census, has carried her point and now
she has d0ublc representation secured TO her
for several years in both branches Of the Cen
eral Assembly. II the methods are sati>facto-
ry 10 her she has reason for self-cOngratula-
ton, and the up-cOuntry people, even if cheat
cd, may thereby he hereafter ncrrCu to
assert their manhood and to demand their
rights. "Our wealthy ard Intelligent broth
rcn by the scaShorc, have certainly got The
advantage of her green horn country cousins
this time, hut the arts which were practicCd
to secure the present situation may yet result
in good TO us.

The Low-Courstry Took Advantage OF
the Up-ComM:ry.

Charleston has come off victorious in the
Legislature. Through means which we do
not understand, the General Assembly con-
scented for Charleston to monopolise six seats
jim the House of Representatives which did
not belong to her, but which belonged to the
country districts. AS our readers know,
Charleston, through favoritisnl in the organ
&c law of the State, lawfully claims two seats
I'm the Senate while other counties have but
one, and now she Ivy the defeat Of the Census
dill, Is allowed to usurp seats IN the House Of
Representatives to which the world knows
she has not even the sembiancc of lawful
right. Charleston then may boast OF the adj
vantage which she takes in this matter, but
ave trust the wrong which has been thus in
fficted upon her neighbors may awaken them
and aSouse in their hearts a just indignation
at the act which has been practiccd upon
them to their OWE injury and to ClarieSton'S
reproach.
Presumably, we are all citizens OF the same
State and equally interested IN the welfare Of
every locality within its borders. If we mis-.
take not, we have in times past heard sec
tional feelings deprecated by the news
papers and by our distinguished citizens. At
least we had become so much impressed with
the dcssrabil.ty add Importance Of allay!ng
all feelings Of sectional suspicion or Jealousy
that the times really looked as il an era Of
harmony and a universal brotherhood Of feel
ing was about to set In, when every citizen
would have an eye single to the welfare Of the
whole State. Did Charleston rcaiizc this Sch
siment? If go. did ele take advantage OF tilc
confidence which she had gained, and th.s
perrctra1c a most g~rierous wrong upon the
u]p-country? If Charleston mean: I" deal
with as AS neigI.bors and friends. as citizens
of the same State. enjoying equal privileges
with herself, Why did she not in q frank and
neiebbory way admi; nat 1'cle was q ne
cessity sor Il change IN tho appOrtionmcnt,
and that she had no desire to take advantage
of the up-aOru:ry? But Charleston did no
such thing. Not satisfied with having twO
Senators, she take s from the country siS seats
On House of Representative 10 which she
KNOWS that she IS not entitled. Such an act
is UNPRECEDENTED. and We hope that ;he coun-
try districts may assert their scii-respcct at
an carly day, and take from Charleston what
she holds unjastly. She has no right IN jus
Lice t. tsyo Senators. and wc leave others 10
-say whether she has nSurped six seats III the
House Of Representatives by means Of WHICH
Charleston %sio.sd feel no pride.
