other applicants for the place, among them
NJ. c. Clark, the financial secretary of Gen.
Mahone's party. Whoever has General
Mahone's endorsement will be given the
position, for he is as potential now in mat

being done without previous reference to
him and without receiving his endorsement.

the newspapers stating that Paul Riv-

ened they will turn round and vote with
the Democratic patty. All or nearly all
of the educated colored people in the
South have voted and will continue to
vote the Republican ticket so long as the
latter party is in existence"
This is probably not an accurate pre-
eutation of Col. Dargan's position,
though we believe he is right in think
ing that the time is not far distant when
an educational bill will pass Congress.
The general welfare clause of the Consti-
tuition has no meaning if it does not
cover such bill as the one now pending.
The very fund which this State now en-.
joys to help support the State University,
was given to US by Congress under this
clause of the Constitution. 1t IS, there
fore, not without a precedent. We think
the allusion to feeding hungry citizens is
likewise not an argumentative one, for
when necessary, the government has the
power to assist citizens whose extremities
demand it, as has on one or more occa-
sions been doue for sufferers from the
great floods upon the Mississippi aud its
tributaries. The Blair bill is measure
which would be of practical advantage
to our people, and it should by all means
be adopted by Congress as soon as pos
sible.

THE EDUCATIONAL BILL.

The Washington correspondent of the
Neus and Courier says: Representative
Dsrgan. although opposed 10 the educa-
tional bill, says he believes the time is
coming when such bill will pass both
Houses of Congress and be signed by the
President of the United States. This
result, he believes, is unavoidable, and
he is debating in his own mind whether
to continue his feeble opposition to a
measure which he believes to be uncon-
stitutional, or to allow it to pass without
protest from him. He says he is opposed
t., the bill because he believes it uncon-
stitutional and unwise legislation, and
c,n see no reason why, under the general
welfare clause, the United States Govern.
ment should not undertake to feed hun
cry citizens as well as educate ignorant
people. He claims that man without
70 d in his stomach is more dangerous
citizen than one without knowledge in
his cad. He says it is all bosh TO talk

A $4,000 Fire in Laurens.

LAuRESs, S. O., Feb. S, lsS5.-A s50,-
600 fire occurred here this morning about
o'clock. 1t originated in the con-
fectionery and grocery store of Mr. A. P.
Sullivan and was under such headway
that it was impossible to do anything In
the way OF arresting the flames until They
had reached j. F. Martin & Co.'S. hard
ware store. But for the presence of an
alley, twenty-five or thirty feet wide
between that store and DR.. Perrin's drug
store, more ithan whole block would
have been totally destroyed. BY almost
supelhuman efforts the fire was checked
and confined to the hardware building
until all danger OF its further spreading
was over.
The buildings burned were mostly
covered by insurance.
The cause of the FIRE is unknown as
yet. 49,
Col. T. B. Crews left for Newberry this
morning to make arrangements for the
publication of the Herald at that place
until he can again establish himself in
Laurens.
Among those who lose heavily are
Boyd, Plus & Co., leading groceries OF
the town, entire stock; A. P. Sullivan's
entire stock of groceries. The Laurens-
vile Herald lost everything, including a
new power printing press J. d: McLu.
