struction of the act, still, from
sheer obstinacy or from some
political or fanatical reason, / was
forced to introduce this bill and
ask the Judiciary Committee to
bring it before the House. The
only reason the Secretary of the
Interior would give for his ruling
was that the fund ought to be
divided between the colleges
according to race population.
The able president Of the CO.
ored college, Prof L., M. Dunton,
went with me. to.see the honorable
Secretary of the Interior about
the matter, and although we
exhausted urjoint logic and en-
treaties they availed nothing.
When President Dunton left
Washington, going north on official
business, he wrote me from
Baltimore the follow ing letter,
which explains itself:
BALTIMORE, March 4, 1892.
DEAR SIR: In the matterI of the
division of the Morrill, fund, I am
free to say that's far as I know,
all who are interested in the
Clahin Department Of the State
Agricultural College are willing
to. accept the division of the fund
as recommended by the. Legislature
of South Caroliua. The protracted
delay in the settlement of this
case has already resulted in much
serious embarrassment and real
injury to our institution. |
trust that an early solution of the
case will be reached. and that the
funds will be available befor the
opening of another scholastic year.
Very respectfully.

purpose of establishing an ag-
ricultuaal and mechanical college
in each State, with military tactics.
In 1887 the National Government
furthermore passed another act
donating each year s15,oeasto
enable each State-old States as
well as new-to establish.a scien-
tifc experimental agricultural
station. And then, again, in 1890
the third act was passed donating
$4,000 per year to enlarge the
curriculum of these colleges which
the Federal Government had
founded, and especially colored
colleges-appropriating $4,000
the first year, $4,000 the second
and so on for ten years, until the
annual appropriation should reach
s25,OOo-
Now, as to the first act ap-
propriating land scrip to South
Carolina, the first "carpet-bag gov
ernor that we had-Scott from
Ohio-sold that land scrip, as We
thoughts for less than half, pro-
bably less than one-third, what it
was worth; but he did not steal
the principal of what he did get.
One of his successors in the
gubernatorial Office, ,>who, I believe,
was a South Carolinian by birth,
and one of the most infamous
scalawags in the way of thievery
perhaps that the State ever pro-
duced, did the job Of, pilfering The
fund. He and his sanity carpet
bag associates made away with the
whole fund-$191, 900.
Now, what did the white people
do when they recovered control Of
the State government in 1879? The
first thing they did was to make
that debt good by taxation. They
issued perpetual college land scrip
fort the whole amount that had
been stolen and guaranteed s
per cent interest on it,. although
the act of Congress required only
guaranty Of 5 per cent interest.
With the fund thus provided the
whites founded one agricultural
college for the Caucasian race and
one for colored students, and gave
the college for colored students
one-half of the whole income from
the fund. amounting annually to
s5,754. The colored was founded
at Orangeburg, S. c., and was
named Clafin University, after
that distinguished family in
Massachusetts,, one Of whom had
made asmall donation of land ss
aaite for the college.

lored institution one-half of all

mills annually on all property in

poses.
The white people, who own nearly
all the property, voluntarily i'm
posed that tax upon themselves in
1875 at the very election in which
they overthrew the carpet-bag
regime. Under that constitutional
school tax the State collects
annually on her property about
$3OO,0OO in addition to a large
poll tax for educational purposes,
beside which each township can
leyya special school tax upon.

the. gentleman from Ohio, our
whites embrace cnly about two
ffths and the. colored threeffths
of the total population, and while
the .colored population pay less
than one-fifth of the school tax on
property, and while we had but
about $4,000 white school attend

school attendants, yet the schools
of both races were and are kept

Tillrnan,s College Fund Speech

1t is geneally known that Claflin
University and Clemson College
have been badly crippled. by the
Secretary of the Interior, Gen
Noble, Withholding three install
ments amounting to s4S, 600 from
South Carolina under the Morrell
act, although he has promptly paid
over to all the other States their
respective quotas.
Mr.. Tillman introduced a bill
atthe present session of Congess
to compel payment TO this b l=I State,
and easily passed it through the
House by the. following unanswer7
able speech:
Mr.. T1LlMAN: Mr.. Speaker, if all
the facts upon which this bill is
based were threughly known, /
have no idea thata gentleman on
either side of the House would vote
against it. The bill simply con-
strnes the meaning of an act passed
by Congress on the 5oth Of August,
1890, making, according to its
title, an appropriation of funds
arising from the sale of the pub
lie lands for the purpose of better
promoting collegiate education,
especially of colored youth, in all
the States.
We all know that the Federal
Government has never appro-;
priated a dollar of money or an
acre of land or any other of its
assets to promote the cause Of
common-school education in the
old States-that is, the thirteen
original States, and such States
as were carved out of their neigh.
boring territory, like Maine,
Vermont, Kentucky, and Ten
nessee and that it has only donated:
lands to assist common-school
education in the new States. We
likewise know the Government has
been liberal and generous in
promoting not only common
school education in the new States,
but also collegiate education.
Never till 1a"rassitas,.-ittrm it make any.

The universal Postage stamp.

The Swiss papers are again taking un
the important subject of the creation of
a universal postage stamp" which shall
have currency in all the states in included
in the postal union. As the union now
includes nearly all the civilized world
the movement ought to f1nd Jealous adj
vocates in every nation.
The timbre post universal could be in
serted In any letter which required an
answer and would effect a most profit
able revolution in commercial and other
correspondence. None of the successive
postal congresses has yet ventured to deal
practically with the subject, as they have
been too conscious of the financial diff
culties in several States where the post is
profitable. 1t is hoped. however, that
