I lotloW liV, Esq., wlio lias Uli.illy cdiisciiIimI in t>ilil it. Ml*. Editor: ?Can "worth" bo considered u prop osition? Yes, by a considerable stretch of tho imagination; but not otherwise. The sentence is elliptical. The only prop*?r way to deal with Mich is to supply (ho omissions. ? Then wo have, ''That knife is of thei .value of one dollar."' Substitute "worth" for "of the value of," and wc (have, ''That knife is woith one dol lar." Now, because worth seems to be substituted for a phrase bcginn'tig and ending with a preposition, some grammarians, taking the very broad .est view of the subject, have consider ed it a preposition. Hut perhaps in judiciously. "lie is of a well-thoughi of family." In tins sentence, ktof n .well-thought of," may, it is true, i? considered a preposition ; but it would be considered vciy injudicious .Jo do so, except in the highest iU partmcnts of parsing, in which, hav ing oursclf for ycais practiced it, wt are prepared highly to recommend it as a finishing touch to, but only in con nexion with, the analytical method. The same may he said of ail such phrases, of which there are thousands. Wc should not, however, derive the Impression, thatcvciy prepositional ..phrase ending with a preposition makes its substitute a preposition. It is only when the whole phrase ha* by a long and uniform usage become n single word, as it were, that this becomes the case. "In-spilc-of" with substitute "mattgro," will illustrate out meaning. In the phrase, ''of tin; value of," this is certainly not Lite case. In all such,moreover,two elements reside, | one, an ad nominal; and the other, n prepositional. If then, we are unwill ing to supply the omissions, and we cannot avoid their supplying in ina!i\ cases that need not he mentioned, we should endeavor to discover which one of these elements picdominnlcs in the phrase, and parse the .substi tute accordingly. Now, clearly and beyond all discussion, the sdnominal clement prevails in the phrase, "'of the value of." This appears from the fact, that the latter "of" may be omitted without the slightest modifi cation of, or injury to the meaning : as well as from various other facts deemed unnecessary to be mentioned. "Worth" should, therefore, be parsed .ordinarily as an adjective. Ami now, with your permission, in .concluding, which shall we use "The rat is eating, (or being eaten?" D. B. D., Pomaria, S. C. It is owing altogether whether wc arc "eating the rat," or the "rat is eating" us as to which expression wo would use. Our correspondent , knows that grammarians diil'er in the! use of this "Progressive Form" of the verb, and the parlicip e. in "ing" used in a passive sense. Some of the very | best authorities, and numerous wri ters and orators of the best reputa tion favor such expressions as "The (house is building," "An attempt is] making," and the like. Wc oursclfI incline that way, but in sentences wheie an ambiguity or awkwardness is likely to arise, we prefer hstny some equivalent expression that will clearly indicate our meaning. What i 'does "D. B. ?." think ? A MONO those who received first grade certificates were several colored ? teachers. Wo are gratified at this, aal jt shows that the colored race among us is making a strong cllbrt to gi t the benefit of an education to their children, and that loo by employing j native colored teachers. Hight here we will say that so lung as wc all? v Hie education of the colored race t< . be entrusted to the care of foreigners, with foreign feelings, foreign inter ests, and foreign prejudices, so long! will the negro continue inimical to the whites of the South. Allured by the bait which our common school Bisten) oilers, they come down here, i and in a few years, lill their pocket-.! with the hard earnings of our people,! and then return to their native roost ! 'to misrepresent the condition of our institutions, and to anathematize our citizens. -To this fact wc attribute the cause of the great amount of trouble! we have had to encounter with the black man since his emancipation. 4_<____ .Tub touchers of ICdgofiold County have established a column in the Uatesburg Monitor and Kdgefiehl Ad vertiser. The actions of these papers arc appreciated and we expect much gootl to result therefrom. Wc need tliis powerful engine, the press, to aid Iis in building up ihe standard of ed ucation in our land, for there is i o icfluence it cannot counteract, no ivull of prejudice which its power can not demolish. The good of our coun try, the prevention of vicious and the! spread of virtuous publications, call aloud for tho giant strength of tin; press. May the lite and Spirit of pa triotism which glow in the bosom of these cona of Kdgefiehl in the po litical urena not bo dimmed when they are called upon to battle for lib- j City sane tilled by enlightened hearts.
