Now wc ask tho question, are these objections well taken. Tho object of the University is not to make lawyers, doctors or or mochales, nor is it to educate a particular class of young men; but this grand old institution, that bas ever bern the pride and glory of South Carolina, owes its exis tence to the fact that there have been those who believed, that a lib eral education was a blessing.

The directors of tho Columbia Newbury ami I.aurons Railroad ?not | in Columbia last wook. By Invi tation of President MOSELEY, d?l? gation* from Glenn Springs, Spar tanbtirg and Laurens were present und addressed 111 * - meeting. Messrs J. J. PLUSS and J. C OAKLINGTON, presented thu claims of Laurens. So ta. as wo have been aide t<? ascertain, the road will certainly be built from Columbia ti? New bery, as tho necessary amount re quired for tho grading has alroay been subscribed end Charleston bas promised to complete it without the help or any capitalist outside that city. What diroctlon it will take ' at Newbery, and whether we are to get tho benefit of this groat enter prise, now remains willi us. At ; the next meeting of thc directors, : a corps <>f engineers will be engag ed and the work of grading com- ' menced. Spartnnburg and Glenn Springs and Cross Anchor seem de- , term I nod to have the road, but their claims do not in th?? least con llict with tho-e of Lauren-. By j consolidating with the Glenn I Springs Wail rou 1 the line can bc ex- j (onded to Spartnnburg, and acting . under the original charter ii eau ! also reach Laurens. The orly bb sticlc in the way at present ls that .-eme of the townships through which the road will pass, are co quetting with the narrow guage and cannot decide between th" t wo schemes. If, Instead of voting a tax of $15,000to tho Narrow Guage., ! Township hair <>f Newbery will give this amount t?> thc C. N. A- L., * tho road could be easily bc built to Lauren-. j If tho road comes through Jacks ? in this County, that town-hip to gether with thc town of I.aurons can easily grade tho road through our territory. We can easily do this and if the people decide to do so, they can gel the road. If not ; weean only look on while il i- be lng built around us. Now, the question i-1. what are wo todo.? The greai advantage of this, or any other railroad, t>> .lacks town ship, i- evident. No argument is needed to convince the people of this section that their lands would bc enhanced and tho general pros perity of this section promoted by having railroad facilities. So far as Laurens \a concerned, unless we have sonic enterprise of this kind their h danger of being a gain bot tled up. We must reach the coa l by a new and ind?pendant railroad and such a road thc C. N. A L. will i he. It i.- liol worked in the inter- 1 cst of capitalists bul isa home en terprise and will bc conducted in the interest of tho section ! brough which it passes, by homo men-uot foreign syndicates. Here is an op portunity for making a little mon ey go far and wo hope our people will s;-,, the Importance of tho en terprise. Tho democratic convention whi(d) nominated .State officers,did their work well, doux PKTKN [IICI.IAUD.SON ls the choice ?d' tho people and his nominaton is a stinging rebuke to those who would pretend, thai the democrat ic administration, -ince '70, has been a failure. Mr. rtlCIIAHOSON ls such a man as South ('andina bas ever been willing to honor.

While -erne of the l anley (,n the ticket will doubtless he a suprise to many, asa whole it will generally bc heartily endorsed. Complimentary to Mr. stoney. Nows :.a<l < 'ourlor. It i- n curious faed that no can- ! d ida te was in thc field in opposition < to Mr. W. E. Stoney, thc pre-cut comptroller-goneral. It is n clear case of victory by merit. Mr. Mo ney was a bravo soldier and lias always he/m a true Democrat; hut he knows nothing whatever cf poli tics, has never made a political speech, so far as we know, and is entirely ignorant of tho uses to which wire- and lops aro put in ante-' on volition times. Yet, upon tho election of Oen.

The Same Smith. The Spartnnburg Herald rays that H. M. Smith, tho vandal who wished that Sherman had bumed the South Carolina College, is tho Smith who figures in the Fraud lie ports as a bribe taker and swider of legislativo frei? whiskey. The Herald well .says that If thc charg es are true, which is generally be lieved, Smith is Unfit to represent a const it uency of bone.si and hon orable mon. All we have to s;iy is thal Spartnnburg is bad off for leg islative timber if it has to pick from men with smirched reputations.

The National Democratic party i- a party nf protection, as witness , the following extract from the plat form adopted unulmou^ly at Chi cago, July I". 188 i. The necessary reduction in taxa- j tion can ano! must be effected with- 1 out depriving American labor of: thc ability t<> compete successfully with foreign labor, and without int- 1 posing lower rates of duty than will bc amp?ete cover any increas ed cost of production which may exist in consequence of tho higher rates of wilges prevailing in this country. The National Republican party is also 0 party "f protection, as Witness the following extract from the platform adopted at Chicago June I88t : We demand that the imposition of duties on foreign import- shall be made not for revenue only, but that in raising thc requisite reve nue- for thc Government, such du lles shall be so levied ?is to alford security to our diversified interests and protection t.> thc rights and wag*-- of the laborer to the end that active and inti 1 ! : ir?, lil labor as well as capital, may havo its Just reward, and the laboring man his full share ??1 the National prosper ity. in 1880 the National Democratic Convention u'lowed the Watterson crowd to draft the platform and to insert in it "tariff for revenue only." The reader remembers how the Republicans seized upon this plunk and how effectively they used it. The Democrats denied repeatedly that they were ?"ree traders, hut there stood their declaration that they could not get around or ex plain away. And Gen. Hancock was defeated, in 1881 the Randall crowd drafted thc platform not on ly for revenue hui for protection also of American labor-and Mr. ( 'loveland wa- elected. The party that declares for free trade in this county, or that leans in that direction, ts certain of de feat every I hue. lt requires about three hundred millions to run the Government.
