A few days ago, while the Blair educational bill which asks federal aid for education in the States, on the basis of illiteracy, was under consideration, Senator Butler made a fierce onslaught upon the bill This is a surprise to his friends and a source of regret to the citizens of the State whose agent he is, and who have been led by his public ut terances to look upon him as the champion of the very measure which he now seeks to defeat. If this had been the Senator's first public expression of his views on the subject of national aid for education in the States, it would not have caused great surprise while it might have created some regret, for he, as well as others, has the right to entertain and freely ex press his own opinions. But in 1882 Senator Butler himself intro duced a bill seeking to set aside all money arising from patents and sales of public lands, for the pur pose of educating the people. That bill, which he strenuously advocated, did not differ in principle from that which he now bitterly opposes and pronounces unconstitutional. In 1882 the General Assembly of this State adopted a unanimous resolution urging our Senators and Representatives in Congress to use all their endeavors to obtain fed eral aid for the promotion of our public schools. Hugh S. Thompson went to Washington and earnestly pressed the claims, while urging the needs, of our State. In the begin ning of 1883 Senator Butler pre sented, in support of his educa tional bill, memorials asking for federal aid; and, he informed the Senate that these memorials rep res3nted the very best element in his State, being signed by the Gover nor, the State officers, Senators, Representatives, college faiculties, and other influential and respecta ble men throughout the State. He said that, while they prayed for the enactment of his bill, they would be satisfied with another of like character. Now he is opposed to federal aid, and prefers to rely up on the pluck and energy of his own State, asserting that we do not need the money which the bill seeks to appropriate. When Senator Butler extols the pluck and energy of our State--her great reverses and the heroic spirit of endurance with which she has met them, his words are grateful to the feelings of all Carolinians. But whgen he says that we are able to take care of ourselves, and do not need aid for the promotion of our schools; above all, when he fiercely attacks the very measure which aims to give us the aid for which we have sought, he ceases to be statesmanlike and shows a vault ing state pride which foolishly over leaps itself and the immedIiate ben efits held out, to his State by the Blair educational bill. The man who says that public schools are not a public blessing is, it seems to us, a victim of that kind of stupidity against which the gods themselves are said to be pow erless. And the man who says that we neither want nor need na tional aid for our public schools, plants himself in direct opposition to the well known public sentiment of our State. We do need help, and our need is pressing, If our citizens were all white we might take our position with Senator But ler; but unhappily it is quite c ther wise. As a direct result of the war 4,000,000 slaves were liberated and elevated to the rights of citi zenship in the South. Unfit for self-government, and strangers to civil liberty, they were a dead weight upon the body politic. They now number more than 6,000,000; and forty per cent of the voters of the States in which they are found in greatest numbers cannot read the ballots they cast. The national! government nourished the institu-! tion of slavery for three-fourths of1 a century, and it should now help to enlighten this mass of illiteracy which is a standing menace to our civil intitutions. Our State now appropriates abont $COQOn f0 Ir public educa tion. It is estimated that there are 250,000 children of'school age in the State, whose primary educa tion requires at least-$5 each. This gives the amount needed for the support of our schools at $1se050, 000, or more than twice as much as our State in her present condition is able to appropriate for public ed ucation. With these facts before him, and with the well-known wish es of the State present to his mind, Senator Butler suddenly turns a complete somersault, and, to the utter astonishment of his friends, even in the Senate, opposes the ed ucational bill. Senator Hampton who, with other Southern senators. is in favor of the bill, exDressed regret that he could not agree with hiF colleague Senator Butler ; we sincerely re gret that Senator Butler could not agree with his colleague Senator Hampton. Meantime his strange conrse is inexplained. We are indebted to Commissioner Butler for a copy of the "Hand book of South Carolina." We find it a perfect treasure of 'nformation of the State. Every thing that is essential to be known of the State can be found in its pages. Such a work is bound to be most valuable to all who desire information in re gard to the State, and it will be of value to our own people in impart ing a more general knowledge of our varied resources. The style of the book is good. LATEST. A private letter from Columbia says that a storm in that city on Wednesday morning blew off a portion of the State House roof. PEN AND SCISSORS. The marquis who is to marry Mrs. Frank Leslie can shoot his in itials in a board, and writes poetry with the greatest ease. This is a free country! sure, but you can't get Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup free of charge, it costs you a quarter every time. Some one left a white infant, a month old, on the piazza of Mr. Boland's residence on Sumter Street Columbia. All of the railroads in the State have now agreed to transport free to Columbia all articles intended for exhibition by the State of South Carolina at the New Orleans Expo sition. A fire at Americus, Ga., on the 27 ult destroyed about $80,000 worth of property. Augustus Schell died in New York on the 27th ult. The Clarendon Enterprise of the 27th ult. says: "Last Sunday the County jail was freed of all its inmates" and then is so unfeeling as to add that it hoped it would be* many days before the-jailor would have more boarders. Hard hearted editor ! Th. Abbeville Press and Bannter goes in for treating the esteemed colored brother to a good education, and many other wise and good things, but the lame, disabled and worn out Confederate soldier should not be turned out in the cold. A RIOT IN CINCINNATI. A very serious riot one of great magnitude, occurred at Cincinnati on the '29th ult. William Berner had been on trial for murder, and had confessed his guilt, but from some cause the jury did not put any faith in his confession, but found him only guilty of man slaughter instead of murder. This verdict so incensed the populace that a crowd or mob amounting to 10,000 assembled at Music Hall to take action in regard to the ver dict. Strong resolutions were pass ed in regard to the verdict. From the Hall the mob began to move to the jail. The whole police force was called to the jail, but the mob refused to move. An attack bad been made on the jail. At 11 o'clock the military was called out and entered the jail. The mob was fired on from the jail, and possibly from other points as it is stated that men were killed several squares from the scene of the riot. The jail seems to have been set on fire. An officer attempted to subdue the flamn es but was instantly killed. Hand bills were circulated calling for the formation of Vigilance Committees in each ward, and warning all crim inal lawyers and certain bad charac ters to leave the city. Communism seems to have held control. A gun store was robbed and nothing seemed to appease the mob. The restless body seems to have moved without a leader. There was no con ert of action. The State troops were called out. The streets were barricaded, so as to obstruct the ap proaches to the jail, and positions assigned to the troops. A dispatch dated March 30th says : An incomplete list made last night gives~the names of twen ty-two killed and sixty-one wounded in the riots of Friday night and yesterday. All the State troops were ordered to Cincinnati, and at one time the number of troops in the city amount d to $2,500. The number of per sons killed and wounded is about 200. When Winburn came to Newberry e did not expect to stay but a short while, and he is here yet, but will move on, cme anr1b akien. 2.-t FOR THE IIERALD. FRO3 RANDOM RECOLLECTIONS OF A LONG LIFE. By Edwin J. Scott. [To be Published by Subscription.] Sixty years ago, Luke Manning, (Black Luke), a desperado of the worst kind, was the terror of the region bordering on Newberry, Edgefield and Lexington, where he had committed many outrages, and some murders, apparently from pure devilment. He was a native of Newberry District I believe, and lived near Saluda on the east side. At the risk of being tedious I will give an account of some of his adventures. On a freezing winter morning, he was fishing for "red horse," in Sa luda, at a place that he had baited, exactly opposite toan old, deaf neigh bor of his, who was similarly em ployed. The old man had the bet ter luck, and -as he pulled ont one fish after another, would hold it up and call out to Luke that he "didn't know nothin' about fishin'" Luke determined to have fish, luck or no luck, and bidding his old friend good morning he walked down be low a bend in the river where he kept a canoe, and getting into it, crossed over, cut down a sapling eight or ten feet long, leaving a fork at the little end, crept up be hind the fisherman, who was seated on a steep, slippery bank, and waiting till he had hooked another fish.. placed the forked stick to the back of his neck, shoved him head long into the river, which was very deep, and seizing the string of fish, carried them home, whilst the old man was left to save himself if he could. With great difficulty he scrambled out half drowned and half frozen, to find his fish gone and Luke's sapling, which he had hur riedly dropped, in their place. This betrayed him, but when charged with the assault and theft, he in sisted that the old man had been pulled in by the fish. While a shooting match for beef was going on one Saturday after noon, at the Dead Fall, on Hollow creek a low groggery then kept by Col. Drury Sawyer, Luke rode up in a gallop, rifle kn hand, singing at the top of his voice, "Fourteen pence in the corner of the fence, "And the Hollow Creek boys haint got no sense;" then dismounting and tying his horse to a limb he gave him a cut saying "He's four years old and trots already." le began by treat ing all round, taking several chan ces for the match and then proceed ed to make himself at home. wel coming one with the question,"HIow's your wife and my children,'' when another appeared, running and pre tending to hide behind the house, while I.e exclaimed, "What have I done that the devil's come; "asking a third, "Are you always mad when you look ugly," and making free of the defects or deformities of others, particularly of Col. Sawyer, a red eyed, nervous little body, who was lame in the hip-joint. As the day wore on, .'e continued drinking and grew more and more contentious and disagreeable, and when one ob served that the winter sky looked red like blood he replied, "Wait till the shank of the evening and I'll show something more like blood by a jug full, for I feel the devil in me as big as a meeting house." As was not un common, the match was prolonged into the night, with fires burning at the target and the manrksmiens stand. At these matches the dis tance was always one hundred yards, with a rest. Tlhey were drinking freely and all more or less intoxicated, when a quarrel arose between Manning and Sawyer, who, irritated beyond endurance by the repeated and unfeeling allusions to his crippled limb, said to Luke, "If 1 was well and of your size, you darsent treat me so." Tis Luke denied and after further al ercation he proposed to put them both upon an equality by fighting a duel then and there wilth their rifles, each to commence loading at the word "go" and to fire when he got ready adding "your pally hurts you, f you refuse this offer '' The other, though a peaceable man, was as brave as J ulius Caesar and he ac epted the challenge. The bystan ers meantime ceased their clatter n other matters, andl giving their attention to the disputants, made some efforts to adjust the diffieulty. But Manning swore that he had ome there to kill somebody and he ad as lief it should be that lame dog s any one else. Accordingly. the ight was replenished and when the ombatants declared themselves eady, both expert riflemen, at the word began to load, knowing that heir lives depended upon their ex pedition. They first poured down he charge of powder, to be fol owed1 by the ball, wrapped in a bit f greased rag. which fitted the bore f the gun exactly and required some force to push it to its place with the ramrod. It happened that Sawyer in his haste and excite ent got his bullet fast soon after t entered thme muzzle and all his fforts failed to move it. To fire the un in that condition he knew would ause it to burst, and while lie tugged ad cursed at the ramrod, Luke, see ng his difficulty, finished loading and ith a whoop screamed out, "Now trapple and d'm you, I'll send you o hell in a minute'' then dropping his rifle to a horizontal position, was n the final act of priming, when one f Sawyer? frieuds, whose name as never publicly known, throw ing a four pound weight, struck him n the back of his head and knocked him senseless. And, thus, Luke annings faouan Adnel ended in his being laid across his horse and taken to the house of Jacob Drafts son. The last time I saw Manning was at Lexington as he returned from Columbia, in charge of the Sheriff of Edgefield, after an unsuccessful application to the Supreme Court for a new trial, on his conviction for murder, in waylaying and shoot ing a man named Foutze, while plowing in his field. It was a cold drizzly day in December and he sat beside the Sheriff in a little covered wagon, handcuffed and shivering, wrapped in a scotch plaid cloak, looking to my eyes, like a famished wolf thirsting for blood. After a long imprisonment at Edgefield, he was pardoned and went, I believe, to Mississippi, where report said he finally died on the gallows for another murder. ANNUAL REPORT -OF JOHN S.

"our children are married and gone, and my husbaud:and I sit by our winter fire much as we did before the little ones came to widen the circle. Life is some thing like a spiral stairCase: we are all the time coming aronnd over the spot we started from, only one degree further up the stairs." "That is a pretty illustration," remarked her fi iend, musingly, gazing into the glow ing coals which radiated a pleasant heat from the many windorwed stove. "You know we cannot stop toiling up the hill, though." "Surely we cannot, and for myself I don't find fault with that necesziiy provided the advance in life is not atiended with calamity or suffering, for I have had my share of that. Not long since my health utterly broke down. My system was full of malaria. My digestion became thoroughly disordered and my nerves were in a wretched state. I was languid, ate a little and that without enjoy. ing i., and had no strength or ambition to perform even my light household duties Medical treatment failed to reach the seat of the trouble. The disease-which seemed to be weakness of all the vital organs-progress ed until I had several attacks whicti my physicians pronounced to be acute conges tion of the stomach. The last of these was a desperate struggle and I was given up to die. As the crisis had partially passed, my hus band heard of the merits of PARKER'S TONIC as an invigorant in just such cases as mine. I took it and felt its good effects at once. It appeared to pervade my body, as though the blessing of new life had come to me. Taking no other medicine I continued to improve, and am now in better health than I have been for a long time."
