W?BD3S?JESDAY, MARCH 13. Danger ahead to Common Schools. Wilmington Ste*. The Star mentioner! that a bili had been introduced lato the Alabama Leg? islature to apply the taxes of the whites to teaching white children and the tases of the negroes tc teaching negro child? ren. It seem? that there is a similar Bili before the North Carolina Legis? lature. Thin bill will hardly pass, ?iiere is BO doubt of ?he fac?, that such a law wouid be ?ery popular in North Carolina if it can be constitutionally ? adopted. Any man can sweep the State upon that issue by an overwhelm? ing majority if the whites were to do Che voting1, lt ie to be regretted that such a law ess not be enacted, as the time is perhaps not very remote when t&e? iH wipe oat the eommon school system entirely. If the Northers en? emies of the Southern whites continue their war the result will be the destruc? tion of ali common schools. The whites nf tn? Sooth will not agree to be heav 7 taxed for negroes any longer who n?S aiming and conspiring to get po TAieai control, and all know that this * et? only mean a total destruction of eVnry interest that is dear to the white men in the South. The whites indeed 'Have done grandly thus far. In North Carolina in twenty years more than fon* million dollars have been expended . In educating the negroes, and of this sim 95 ptr cent, has come from the white tax payers. No people knDwn to history who had passed through a great war and had 'ireen overcome and been stripped of fneir entire basis of credit-of nearly their entire wealth ever voluntarily en? tered almost at once upon the educa? tion of their liberated slaves about whom the war had been waged. It is verily a sublimer act of self-abnegatiou sad devotion. But it has neither been appreciated and understood by the enemy that warred upon the South, nor ly the recipients of the tremendous benefaction. The South under the cir? cumstances bas done greater things than any other historic people. It fought through four yeats the most gigantic war in all history. It fought nearly six times ita own numbers. The ??ortBem Army Roster shows that mere than 2,700,000 soldiers were en- j listed in the armies of the North, while j in tne South the total was but 600.000 -according to the official records of Ad? jutant General Cooper. After greater sacrifices and losing in our war more ? than 200,000 men, numbers, not valor, j at last triumphed, and then began a ? worse war than the one that had closed j at Appomattox and Durham-a war of plunder and oppression. And still, in the very face of ruin and disaster the j men of the South with a virtue equal j to any calamity, and with heroic souls and UT)8aggiag pluck and energy went j bravely to work not only to reconstruct society* rehabilitate and build up their wasted fortunes, and many of them lit? erally houseless, thanks to the Vassals, but they went to work to educate their -own dear children, and almost beyond j belief,, to educate the children of their I . recently emancipated slaves. There is j so other such record. We know his-1 tory, and we do not believe there is any ! other case comparable to it in % resolved '.? will, in fortitude, in energy and intel- ! l?gence of purpose, in broad views, in i devotion and self sacrifice. A friend always to education, we say tais: that if the Northern war upon the wMtes is to go on from mooth to month | and from year io year, and the aim of i the North shall be to turn over the South with its great industries and civ- ; ii ix a ti oo into the hands of 'barbarians' j without the moral sense (see Russell's I letter); and to do this, as is advocated, j deprive the Southern whites of all rep- | resentation in the Federal House, or as Bussell advocates, remand the South- j ern States into a Territorial condition ! (which is stupidity and madness run to j to seed) then this will come to pass as sore as the sun shines or night follows day-the Southern States wiil no iooger , contribute one dollar to the educa:iou ; of the negroes. That will be the ioev- ! itable result of this vindictive, merci? less, senseless crusade against the Southern whites. Grand as they have borne themselves through the trying : scenes and humiliating experiences of the.last twenty-three years, and great BS bas been the self-denial, the South? ern whites have a great deal of human nature-and much of it of the very best kind-and they will not toil and sweat to educate ungrateful and spiteful igno- 1 rant negroes who lend themselves as ready political tools to the undoing of Southern progress, and the breaking up ; of ali peaceful relations Demagogues would do well to understand this, for in what we are saying, we but voice the , sentiments of the best and truest ele- ! men ts-those elements th it are price- : less, that lift up sccie'y, that create a : grand civilization of re Sued and lovely women and brave and honorable men ; that give character and fame to a noble people, develop a Skate's resources, ele vate the morals of communities are the : staunch supporters of education and be? lieve in the future of humanity. This is not only the view of bim wno | writes and who has always stood earn? estly forth as the friend of general edu? cation, but it is the Per icas con vic? ions j of nearly all men, we dare say, whom ! we meet. We venture to say that niue out of ten of the readers ;>f ine Star will io dorse what is said above io the way of warning. So it may in the end be a misfortune that a law like that referred to i? the beginning cannot be adopted, f .r it might save the common schools of the State which are doomed to perish if thc Radical wa- on the South is to con? tinue. We say this because the Supreme Court of North Carolina bas made a de- ! cisi?n that prevents the distribution of the school fond. Thc decision bad ref? erence to the State Constitution, and not to the U. S. Supreme Court. Since preparing fh?3 editorial two days ago we have read that part et the editorial in the News-Observer thar bears up>n the Payne bilb-r-tbe one we referred to at the outset. It thicks the bill wiil remedy a great evil, and can be passed without fe^r of violating the Constitution of the Uoited States, or that of North Carolina, and is amen da - tory. The New9-Observer says : "If North Carolina were to abolish | public schools b^r action would not be violative of the Federal Constitution The Federal Constitution is silent on the subject. * * The 14th amend? ment ?syp : No Stat* shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of'the United States.' And the Supreme Court says that the privileges and im I munities here meant are those which ! pertain to a man as a citizen of the j United States. That has nothing to do ? with oar commas schools. We caa j have a system of schools in North j Carolina exclusively for the whites if the people shall so determine. -.Kentucky has long maintained her public schools substantially op. the basis ! proposed by Mr. Payne's measure, j "No one ever suggested that it .was j violative of the Federal Constitution for Kentuckey to take such actioo. "Tbere is no force in that suggestion. "The Dorisa bill was held invalid by oar Supreme Court because it was in violation of oar State Constitution, and Senator Payne proposes to remove those i very provisions of our State Constitu ' tiou." If in the Legislature we would cer? tainly favor so changing the State Con? stitution as to allow the whites to use their own taxes for the education of their cwn children if they thought proper. We favor educating the negro. If tb*y are ever elevated at all it must be by education in its best sense. It must be admitted, however, that the results achieved thus far are not reas? suring. It saems that the negroes who read and write are not very much bet? ter in honesty, veracity and virtue j than the unlettered ones. Of course j there are some worthy exceptions, but j they are apt to be about half or three ijburtbs white. Education has not pre? vented or retarded crime, as the statis? tics of the penitentiaries show. But j more of that at another time. ! We wish to emphasize the fact that j ali aioog the Star has stood by educa? ting the negro. The three R's have been the objective point aimed at. But ! results, we repeat, are not reassuring. We have yet to see that education has made most of the negroes taught better j citizens in any proper sease. j We wish to say with particular stress j that it is very important for the whites j that the State Constitution shall be I amended, ia order that the school fund j may be distributed according to the I Payne bili. It need not be used. But j it is important that the Legislature two I years hence may distribute the moneys j as they are contributed by the races i the white children receiving all the I school tax paid by the white tax payers. [ This will give them four months school ! ing and improve the schools very greatly. If "the Radical war continues until 1891, and the negroes combine with the enemies of the Southern whites, then it will be high time to cut off the tax in accordance with the Payne bill. The negroes musfe show more grat? itude ar>d appreciation of past efforts and sacrifices and a less willingness and determination to be used by the enemies | of the white men of the South if the 1 maintenance of negro schools is to con? tinue at the expense of the white tax? payers. Let all concerned understand that. A Storm Centre in El Dorado. Lower California, which is now the centre of interest for the people of j the Pacific coast, has had so little place in the public mind heretofore that less is known concerning it; per? haps, than is known concerning any part of the Continent outside the Arc? tic circle. The names of the towns in tho newly discovered gold district, which are now thronged with thou? sands of. eager visitors, are wholly strange to American ears, though they are likely to become familiar enough beiore the summer is over. ! Encinada, which is spoken of as being the place near which the gold is ? fonnd, is about sixty mites south of j the boundary line between Califor- j nia and Lower California, and is ? therefore, outside of the territory of the United Slates. This fact may j lead to serious- trouble, if the rush of! miners from California to the gold j diggings continues. It will require a great deal of dis- ! : cietioi? on the patt of the authorities, j I on both sides of the frontier, to pre- ? ! vent collisions from arising among ; the disorderly elements which usu I ally flock to new gold fie'*5 every- j j where. The Mexicans have no liking | ! for the Americans, and are disposed j to be bumptious when occasion offers ; ; while the Americans look with sover- j ' eigri contempt upon the ' Greasers/' ? as their spare and Stm-dnt d neighbors ! j are most inappropriately styled.

It is Brought to a Disgraceful Close in tho United States Sonate. .WASHINGTON, D. C., March 4.- Sena* tor Riddle' erger, of Yirg nia, brought his digr::ce:ul record asa United States senator to a fitting close Sunday night by being summarily ejected f.otu the senate chamber by the sergeant -at-arms. Riddle': erger catered the chamber in Iris usual state of intoxica-ion. and. -tag gering to his feet he rej eatedly made Bioti ns, the words of which could net be understo; d by the presiding officen Senator Ingalls repeat? div ordered him io be seated, but each wi-rd made the .d'irgiriian more obstreperous, and his conduct put a stop to the proceedings of the senate. President Infills allowed the Virginia io mumble out his indistinct words for ;ome mo? ments, but his palien, e was at last exhausted, an I ho threatened Kid dlebcrger with ejectment if he did not desist. To this t!;e Virginian replied that he wo:;ld telegraph the governor of Virginia his rvsgnat;on, and that he would no longer ren ain a mero' er of a body that was presided over by such an unfair a.; d unjust man as ?ngalls. Thia was rather too much for the Kansas, and he immediately ordered the sergeant at arms to ?emove the senator from Vir? ginia from the ?loor. Sergeant at-arms < auaday, with an assistant, cuickly gathered u-> the obstreperous Virginian, and notwi.hstanding his desperate ef? forts to tear himself lo.se, they crimed: him bodily from the senate chamber, amid the plaud.-ts of the galleries. This is the first time within the history of the United States Staate that one of its members hak been forcibly ejected from he iloor. He Wasn't to Be Outdone. Charlie Smiley is full of stories. He teils one of a street gamin who held out his ragged cap before Lord Randolph Churchill and Sir Charles Beresford as they came slowly down the steps of a London club. "What are you begging for, boy V asked Beresford, as he no? ticed the little fellow. The boy said he had nothing else to do. "See here," said Lord Randolph, "if you'll take that stone and hit that policeman in the back of the head PH give you half a crown." Nothing loth the boy picked up the stone and let her' go. Bis aim was true and the ''bobby'7 turned in wrath, chased the gamin and captured him. Shaking him savagely he de? manded why he should insult the majesty of the law, as represented in bis person, so grossly. The boy whined that the two gentlemen, who were look? ing on very much amused, had offered him haifa crown to do it, and he would give bim one and six of it if be would release him, Dragging the boy up to the two men he demanded to know what they meant, and asked their names. Sir Charles Beresford handed the "bobby" his card. When he read it he humbly touched his hat and begged pardon. Then he asked Sir Randolph Churchill's* name. He, too, handed his card, and its perusal had the same effect. "You great gents must have your larks," be said, touching his helmet. "Now, sir," he said, turning to the gamin, "what's your name?" The boy looked up at him, after eyeing the great men, and said, sticking his thumbs in the armhole of his ragged vest, "i'm Lord Salisbury."-Chicago Herald. The Difference. "Ef a gentleman says : "Come hyar, you black scamp, en' black mer boots en' do hit quick too," I knows dat man's from down Souf, en' he gwine to gimme sompen, en' mos' likely a quar tah." Thus a darkey boy on a Mis- j sissippi steamboat was eiplaiuing bis j position as to sectional proclivities. He went on further to say : "Ef aourber gentleman say to me, "My dear young cu?ud fren,' wiil you be so kin ez ter black mer boots?" dat man's from Grrenlau's icy mountains, or sommers in dat direction. En' mebbe he gwine ter gimme a J( J de Bitptis'-dal's one cent-but mos' likely be gwine ter jis' give me tanks." -UM ?.-??- -O Is Consumption Incurable? Rend the following: Mr. C. li. Morris.
