AN OMNIP0TENT GOVERNOR.

Ii n measure now before the Gen
eral Assembly becomes q law, the
Governor OF the State will have un-
limited power over the management
OF public institutions. At tie pres
ent Governors suggestion, q bill has
been INTRODUCED that will give him
power to appoint all the boards of
trustees and directors of our public
enterprises, and will put him Mt the
head Of the same. The members of
these shall be deposcd at his pleas
urc, and Of course they will not dare
to antaSonizc any measure favored by
the Governor under pain of dismiss
al. Tho war cry of the last cam
palgn was oligarchy, ring rule, boss
ism and centralization of power. IF
such law us that spoken of is en-
acted and it does not mean olisarchy
and bossism, what does it take to
constitute such state of affairs?
The members of the Legislature are
not allowed to discuss these meas
urcs, as n gag rule has been put in
force cutting of debate.
Verify it seems rs if the people are
not to have much say in the manage
mont Of affairs aftor all, as Mr. Evans

TIRE CURRENCY.


The Republican party is now try
ing to play the role of a whipped
spaniel. It wants to show o ready
and willing obedience that the nation
may remember with gratitude some
OF its last acts. Congress is now
considern. g several propositions for
the relief of tho financial situation.
They will urge the adoption of Dor
sey's bill to reduce to loco the mini,
mum amount Of United States bonds
which rnti,ral lani;s slall be re
qu'red to keep on dcrosit, and to
permit the issue Of circulating notes
by national banks to the full amount
CT the par value Of bonds deposited.
This would in q short time increase
the cirrlntion about 100000, and
give n healthy stimulus to commerce
They also propose further conces-
sion to the farmers by subiccting na-
tioEnl banks and y. S. Treasury notes
to State taxation.

The art of not hearing should be
learned by all. There are 80 many
things which it is pai,ful to hear,
very many Of which, if hcard.. will
disturb the temper, corrupt simpli-
city and modesty, dctract from cor
tcntment and happiness. If n NJ
falls into violent passion and ca.
Us all manner Of names, at the first
word we should shut our cars, and
hear n" more. If in quiet voyage
OF life we find ourselves caught in one
of these domestic whirlwinds of scold-
ing, we should shut our ears rs asail-
or would furl his sails and, making
all tight, scud before the gale. If q
restless man begins to inlame our
feelings, we should consider what
mischief the fiery sparks may do in
onr magazine below, where our temp
er IS kept, and Instantly close the
door. 1t all the petty things said Of
one by Needless or ill-naturcd idlers
were brought home to him, he would
become mere walking pin-cushion
stuck full of sharp remarks. If we
would be happy, when among good
men we should open our ears; when
among bad men, shut them. It is
not worth while TO here what our
ncghbofs say about our children,
what our rivals say about our bust
ness, our dress, or our affairs Pres

An Earnest Appeal.

At the recent session of the South
Carolina Conference, the Directors of
the Williamston Female College pro-
posed to give to the Conference the
absolute control of the College pro-
perty so long as it should be used for
the maintenance of a Female College
OF high grade under the auspices of
the Conference, provided the Presi-
dent OF the College should pay to the
Directorsan annual lrental of six hund-
red dollars, to enable them to keep
the building insured and in good re-
pair. Instead Of this, the following
Peper was recommend by the Board
OF Education, and adopted by the
Conference.:.-
"Resolved first, that, if, at the next
session OF tie Conference, the Direct
ors of the Williamson Female College
shall execute to the Conference tito
to the property and appurtenances of
OF said College, with the understand
ing that, if the Conference shall cease
to ethe premises for the mainten-
of Female College of high grade.
the property shall revert to it's pres
ent owners; then this conference
agrees to accept the property and en-
dorse the college as one Of its instltu-
tons.
Resolved furthermore, that in view
CT the sacrifices in which this arrange
mcnt may involve DR.. Lander, it is
the sense of this body that he should
be retained i'll the Presidency of said
college,"
The Dire etors of the college, hav-
ing found thut they can purchase for
this purpose all the stock of the COM
Pany, and all the furniture, instru~
ments. apparatus, museum, and H.
braries of the college, for much less
than their actual value, have determ-
med to issue an appeal to the friends,
OF christian education among the
~f the State, to raise the

IIno.
teen thousand uona..,
zens of Williamston will contrIu..~
more than half OF this amount, if the
friends of the cause throughout the
State will raise the remainder.
The present movement proposes to-
procure for the conference an institu
ton of high grade of scholarship, Of
cnvlable reputation, of excellent re-
cord, in building favorably located,
admirably arranged, and amply
equipped, at less than one half of its
actual cost. It seems to us that no
time should be lost in securing this
desirable arrangement. A very slight
effort on the part of the friends of
Christian education in oul bounds
would enable us to have this property
ready as New Years present to the
conference.
Contributions of any amount will
be gratefully appreciated. Please re-

ceiYcd 35 votes in the caucus of his
own fraction against 80 for Donald,
son. Donaldson was not accused of
any Sins against democracy but the
entire power Of the administration
was used against him, although he
WAS representative Of the Farmers
Alliance t" which more than any other
one thing the administration owed it's
life.
The histroy of the whole business
IS that Hampton place was wanted,
that Mr. lrby wartcd it aud that Gov
crnor Tillman decided that his inter-
csts demanded that Mr.. Irby should
have it. For those reasons, no doubt
considered in these peculiar times
good sufficient, TIE caucus rule was
applied, the caucus line was drawn,
the caucus whip was piled savagcly,
and all the pressure the administra.
