THE CHIEF JUSTICE"

Henry McIyer has been relieved from
duty for ;the past two months. The
latest accounts of his condition arc
encouraging. and it is the fervent hope
of all South Carolina that this emin-
cnt jurist ard ever faithful official
may suoa resume his seat Cn the bench
which he has adorned for twenty five
years.
In the absence of the chief justice.
the duties OF presiding judge dev0iHed

J. Pope Of Newberry. OF the manner
in which he discharged this duty d

Iycr-dceply regretted by ali the peo-
pie Of South Carolina-deyolved upon
the Hon. y. J. Pope, as the senior as
sociate justice, the duty of presiding
in the supreme court during the entire
April term just ended. In this rela-
tion Mr.. Justice Pope exhibited in Il
high degree the qualifications Of pre-
siding judge-coIrtesy, readiness, fair
nesS. and aptitude for the dispatch Of
business. Those members OF the bar
whose engagements brought them in
the court at any time during the term
will heartily unite in the opinion thus
expressed"
COLU31BIA FEMALE COLLEGE.
Considerable interest is felt, all oyer
the State in the proposition to re-
move the Columbia Female College
from this city to some other point in
South Carolina. The conditions Of
removal are stated by the trustees as
follows:
l. 4 change of location to suburbs
of Columbia and an outlay of 500. 600
in new plant, provided such amount
can be realized from the sale Of the
present property and contributions
from the citizens Of Columbia.
,. Location in some place other
than Columbia at an outlay Of not
less than 100000. to be realized from
the sale of the property in Columbia
and contributions from the citizens, or
others desiring the location.
3. The board in it's recommendation
to the annual conference will consider
the deSirability Of town as a loca-
ton. the character and value Of the
sites offered. and similar questions as
well as the the amount of money Of
fered.
+. In case OF removal or enlarge
ment, to appeal to the people OF the
State generally in behalf OF the COL
lege to supplement the amounts real
lied from the sale of the old property
and the contributions of the citizens
securing the location-such contribu-
tions to 60 into the college plant, un-
less otherwise specified by their donors.
The cities which have up to this
time manifested interest in the re-
moval of the college are Sumter.
Aiken, Greenwood and Laurens. The
two latter appear to be the most zeal
GUS. \ committee from each Of these
cities has appeared before the board
and urged that a committee be sent
around to look at the various sites. y
letter making similar request was
received from Aiken, and similar
request was understood to come from
Sumter.
What will be the outcome Of the
matter cannot now be foretold. The
college ranks high among our institu-
tionS Of learning, and its location in
any community is at once an honor
and d benefit.
