Pope, editor of the Columbia Register was mentioned by j r p\ the press in connection with the Chair of Political History in the South Carolina College, we know for certain that he did not submit any application to ' ^ ' the Board for support or rejection. In point ot" fact he was not before the Board at all." Mr. Gonzales believes that Colonel Tillman is becoming converted to free trade; but the Augusta Chronicle thinks not. We trust the Chronicle is wrong. Protection is a mistake, in our opinion, so far as the South is concerned. To submit ro a tariff that is now sapping the life of agriculture, merely in the hope that in some vague undefined future the South will become a manufacturing people, is rlmost too heavy an investment in futures. A bill recently introduced into the Senate for the purpose of permitting Confederate soldiers and sympathizers to enter the Union army was defeated by the vote of Mahone. Tl.i ik of this. A Rebel Brigadier, now occupying a front pew in the Federal Synagogue, deliberately casting a stigma upon the very men whose valor gave him promi?-? nence and fame! Can imagination conceive of any greater piece of scoundrclism? A new machine has been invented which will manufacture ice from wa m ter in twenty minutes at little expense. Iii the older processes great pressure was required to liquify the gases used. The new method employs a soiuuon 01 ammonia in glvcerine. The latter abc? ftorbs several hundred times its volume without pressure. By passing into a vacuum the ammonia is set free and prnduees intense cold. Reversing the process, the ammonia is easily reabsorbed. The day is not distant when ftverv small town can manufacture its own ice at a minimum cost. m m Senator Sutler is right in objecting to any increase in the Federal judiciary that will permit Arthur to appoint eighteen stalwart judges. We have enough of that sort now. "What is the use of mincing matters and being mealy mouthed about introducing politics into discussions about "the courts," when the Supreme Court has -Toe Bradley and the Circuit and Dis? , trict Courts nave men even more partisan? If there be need for intermediate courts, the Democrats should insist on an equal division of the judgeships as a prerequisite to permitting the passage of the bill. vThe excitement caused by the assassination of Lord Cavendish is by no means subsiding. Throughout all Ireland, and from brandies of the Land League in America, come fiercest de^vT ttiic ctnni<l_ oo\v^.rdlv iiuuV/iauvuo \?i i4uo c % act. The assassins have not yet been discovered, although large rewards have been offered for them. The last official act of IiOrd Cavendish was an order releasing almost all the Irish suspects from jail. It was an ancestor of Lord' Cavendish who slew the famous English rebel, Wat Tyler, and thus won his knight ship hundreds of years ago. Tiie remains of Captain DeLongand nine comrades have been found Jyinjr together on the Arctic Coast of Siberia.

At (he recent meeting of the State Hoard of Examiners. Columbia was chosen a* the place of holding both the white and the colored Normal Institute ?the former in July and the latter in August. In manv respects the selection was wise. The objection raised to Columbia has been the heat in mid ! summer: but those who tried both Spartanburg and Greenville, know that when Old Sol begins to put in his work with vigor, there is no cool place in the State of South Carolina above ground, unless it be on the Islands. Otherwise, Columbia is centrally lo| cated. It has the advantages of the University buildings and of any number ot boarding houses; while transportation to and from the Institute ! should be cheap and easily obtained. The selection of Greenville and Spartanburg mijrlit have given great advantages to teachers in the upper tiers of counties, many of whom are already wideawake and progressive. Columbia is accessible to many in the lower coun; ties, who will greatly enjoy the facilities afforded them. me nrst two institutes nave oeen | gratifying successes The third Tnsti| tute will aim to do still more. By an act of the Legislature regular courses will he prescribed, and all persons successfully passing examinations 011 this curriculum will secure permanent certificates as teachers. This will be a I great convenience, and will doubtless attract many. We are pleased to find that the teach| ers and citizens of Columbia are mov| iiig in the matter, and have no doubt I that they will succeed in making all j arrangements necessary to insure a j cheap and pleasant stay to all who ' oftmirl t)ia ( UUV?IV? liiv AtlCliVlUV* The colored Institute last year wa? a | great success, and we trust all the colored teachers in Fairfield will endeavor to attend again this year. Iniquity ot Protection. ! The Tariff Commission bill has pass| ed both Houses of Congress and will j become a law. It directs the President i to appoint nine experts from civil life tn rfiwfef- a svstom of t:ir:fT rates and j report to Congress at its next session, i Almost all the Republicans andanuinj ber of Democrats, among them Senators Bayard and Hampton, voted for the measure. The opponents of the measure contend that it is merely a device to delay inevitable reforms, and they predict that no change will take place in less than three or four years, whereas Congress could dispose cf the measure without delay. Senator Bay ard evidently believed that in the present temper of Congress nothing is to be expected from it; aud he preferred to take the best he could get. j Nobody dares to defend the present | tariff, which was avowedly passed and | defended as a war measure to raise exi traordinary revenue. Mow well it succeeds in this is evidenced by the {surplus of one hundred and fifty millions pouring annually into the treasurv. The tariff is a stupendous outrage, * ? n? . ^ .. i n _ ...i ! compelling tne great west aim ?ouui to contribute hundreds of millions yearly for the support of New England and the Middle Elates. It is not felt directly, or it could not last a day longer. Imagine every man, on purchasing a wool hat, to be compelled to drop a half dollar or more into a sul>scription box labeled, ' For the support of New Englang hat factories," or on purchasing an alpaca dress for his wife J I to add a dollar or so to a heap of silver j marked, "For the maintenance of | woollen mills." I low long would they I suffer this imposition? Yet they are J paying this tribute daily, and have J been ever since Mr. Morrill deviled his patent pilfering machine, denominated the Morrill Tariff'. A number of years ago people got dreadfully tired of stepping up and nnrchasiny revenue stamrw. to paste i upon all sorts of papers and docni ments, and Congress was compelled to j abolish the stamp tax except on a few i articles. Even now, what man goes to the bank to draw out inonev without grudging the two cents expended for the stamp more than the much greater sum he draws out to pay what | he considers a legitimate debt to some | one? Yet the tariff practically peppers | on stamps on every inch of clothing he j wears, every piece of paper he uses j and almost every morsel of food that t hfc fiats. Tis well that the?-c stamps i are invisible, or Senator Morrill and ! his friend, Mr. Pig Iron Kelly, would soon hear so loud a rumbling about their ears as would make them incontinently take to the woods. We have protected other people long enough. Let us proceed to protect ourselves. If the tariff commission delays reform too long, the people I should take the matter in hand and { send only those to congress who will j agitate day and night for a liberation ! from this financial bondage. . - The Bars an cf Agricmture. The lover branch of Congress has ' p;issf*d, by an almost unanimous vote. I si l>i!l creating a Department of Agrij culture. and making* its superior offli cer a member of the Cabinet. As now i constituted it is a bureau presided over ! by a commissioner. \vlu? happens to be : a man well acquainted with his busi: ness. At tirst sight the erection of an Agricultural Department would appear to bo an eminently wi<e measure, since the agricultural interest overshadows rJl others. This is the view | taken !?y Congressman Aiken, who has ! prr>istently pressed this measure and , is largely entitled to the credit for its ; passage. Properly organized and bon; e>tly administered, a Department of j Agriculture would be of great advant| age in the dissemination of useful ini formation, and more especially of im| proved seeds for cultivation. On the other hand. Thomas JefForson ' was strenuously opposed to the croc I ; tion of an Agricultural Department in ! hi- lime. tending: to become a nni? :iiht :n>t< ad of a benclh. ami a.s !?ein.r i o: no i?i-iic-ii?-al benefit. And oilier arguments have been recently advanced irrowing out of the Mate of contemporaneous politics, why the de. pai'Miieiii should not be created.

The noble j hundred thousand clerks and postmas-! ters will be reinforced with a fresh ! contingent, and the Republican party ! which will control all the patronage ! will thus secure additional partisan I I advantage. These arguments are not ? J without weight; but wl ether they ate | I a: .... i.?i I I SlllllCit'Ill IU uvuruaiilliri; uuiui inciu^j on the bill, we cannot determine. We present both views of the case for our ; readers to decide. As Colonel Aiken i was one of the stoutest champions <>f: the bill. Colonel Evins was one of its j opponents. As he was criticised, hi-t ; year for voting against a similar j measure, it is due him to present hi- j reasons, which it will be seen areba<i>d i entirely on the ground that th:> bill is a j j snare pas ed by the Republican.- as a j political measure. He favors most i liberal appropriations for agriculture.- ; but prefers not to give Mr. Arthur additional opportunity to appoint par-! tisau politicians at the public exponsr. j There is some sound wisdom in this. Colonel Evins* speech will appear in | a subsequeut issue. LUCK rx LIFE. VilUnIn ?? flic;-! AUWO/'7? V. HI w . vx ?%.- J cussion as to the causes of the w ealth ! acquired by Astor. IVter Cooper,; Stewart and some others nearer home.! it was argued on one side that the sue-, cess of these men was achieved by tin-! tiring industry and rigid economv, i ! supplemented by honesty and good I judgment. <.)n the other side it was J argued that luck and trickery were ; important factors in the acquisition o | wealth. The following extract, which ! I hope will be found sufficiently inter! (v<fin?r to be renublishcd. expresses the ; = ' estimate to which luck is held by one j of those who advocated the former j theory. Respectfully, M. For some reason the late summer I ! months always produce an immense ; | crop of fellows who talk a great deal. ! but never ciioertulh, about inrk. Some j have been fishing and others shooting: many have been enjoying a vacation j on borrowed money, and. not a few j have bought pools on the race>. appari ently under the impression that the j men whose business it is to study the ; chances- of a race are philanthropic j enough to arrange the odds so that any greenhorn may win and only the ex- I pert can lose. Then there are the | n'lm hnv?? hiinwlit oilf! Jllley- I ed security or another because sonic- ! body said it would be a good invest-1 ment. There are also the little fel- j lows who have tried ro play jackal on j the Produce Exchange, but found only | dry bones instead tat pickings. In j fact, there seems to be no end to the | men who, having to trust to luck, artfully convinced that luck is down on them. But who hears such talk from men who work eiirbt or ten hours a day, spend only as much as is necessary tor the comfort of themselves and their families and make weekly atldi tions to the surplus in savings banks or old stockings? Nobody. The gifts that luck is supposed to shower arc 5>l\vavs to be found in possession of deopie who have strung arms, clear heads or busy lingers: and he who can combine all of these desirable quaiii-j lies is among the luckiest of men. The J man or woman who is always unlucky is the one who always is blundering, either stupidly or lazily. The best "luck" that can tall upon any impeeuuious young man is a dctermina tiou t<> go to work, even it ins owy t chance is to handle a shovel on a raiij r?ad track: and the young woman i j who is sighing for a rich husband will j ! strike luck when she makes up her j mind r<> use exercise and fresh air a< ! cosmetics, try a new cooking receipt j every day, and read something sensij bie in some of her spare moments. ; Lnck, as usually worshiped, is the god ; j of the la/.y, and but little, it' any. more j ; respectable than Mercury, the gud of | thieves.?yctc l'orlc Herald.

From I being the back yard it has become the i front door of the State, opjmd by the! great railroad route that connects the; whole Piedmont region with Atlanta j and the Southwest. I visited a dozen! Ui llltr&C iriuiiii^ wuiiu\ iuw iin intiuuing Columbia, in company with Col. U.S. Thompson, State &U]>ei*intcudent of education.

In every town visited we were received with the greatest cordiality by the leading citizens, -generally entertained as the guests of the city, shown everything in the way of schools, consulted by Inwds of school trustees, our visit always including a public address to a large hearing. I have never spoken to assemblies more deeply interested than all that I met through South Carolina. and the attendance on uiy'pnblic lectures was said to be unprecedented tor any excepting political occasions. Some of these towns i have already established an effective system of public schools for white and colored children. This can only be done, by local taxation in addition to the general State tax of two mills on the dollar, which only keeps alive a school three or four months in the yenr. The "burning question" in every country town in South Carolina is now the imposing of such a tax. As only property holders vote on municipal taxation, the contest is ahvay* virtUiilly decided by the popular pressuiv /..!!? )v/> I ii./.iirrlif t/? lw?OI? Hu?

But; many of the prosperous and mostmflu-! 1 "I*.] ah * 1M1 in I |n;ujin.:? uiiu mi jiiv.* cu^nu; uum- i her of the professional class, favor the free School movement which is trnininir strength with marked torce in all parts of the Suite. I directed rny labors a ifood d<\il to showing the friends of academical and collegiate schools the absolute neccssi-1 ty to ihem of an effective system ofj free elementary instruction: as only i thus would material be furnished for ' their schools sufficiently intelligent to j receive even the secondary im?truc-1 tion.

A national j arrant that wonfcf enable the people o;; every district, after doing their best, i to place an effective elementary school j for whites and blacks on the ground j would not ouh* educate these children ] for ti:c (l?lies of life, but would wake j up the entire region to academical and i cdiegiate education. It seems to rue j $ouih Carolina is doing as much as; can be reasonably exported, without j such aid. Every town is taxed heavi- j ly for the ordinary expense of building | itself up to a coudition to do business | ai:d tneet the calls from \ear to vear. j Fifteen years ago the financial bottom i vv.-is out of the State, and only since I 1-S7G has there been a condition of po- \ litieal tranquility that would assure i progress in anv direction. It. is astonishing how much has been done, by ! both races, in that short period. While j on the one hand, the leading white population of the J>tate seems determined that, under 110 circumstances, j shall the old condition of negro supremacy be restored, yet, 011 the other, there is a general desire to break up the awful reign of ignorance upon the 1 colored population, rmy-onc jut cent. of the negroes arc tillable to read, and it is impossible for us at the North lo comprehend the condition of unfitness for inteHigent political action of the large majority of this people. Out j .>ide i he "poor white trash," a considerable body of white people is found ; unschooled, but still vigorous, instruct! ed by life and tolerably intelligent in public affairs. As long as the negro i in these "black belt" States is in the condition that I lind him, there can be i no peaje politically. He will he cheated by every knave in business, bull dozed by one class and wheedled by j another crowd of politicians; his vote j on local issp.es oftcner used to obstruct I than lo advance the public interest. There was never a greater delusion than the idea that an intelligent Republic:! n party, as we understand llepubi licamsm in Massachusetts, can be formed in a State like South Carolina out of the mass of negro voters and the | white and black leaders that now have them in training'. I found the State officials and the great majority of prominent ikipu in heartv sympathy with the movement to educate the whole people; feeling that this is the ! only outlet from eternal discord and j the ruin ol aiutne leading iuierc?rs 011 tiie State. A; petition lor National aid j signed by 1,20b of the most eminent men in the State, has gone to the Senate and every member from South Carolina in Congress will labor heartily to this end. I spent two weeks in Charleston as the guest of the city, visited every style of school in the place; made twenty addresses, including one to a distinguished audience fiiling the opera house; and, during my entire visit, | was in constant confidential communi- j cation with the school authorities and j iii reception of tiic most ajrreeaoie so-; cial attentions. The Mayor of (Jhar-1 lc?ton, Coiirtenav, is one of tlie rising ' men of the State; in full sympathy j with the broadest views for! for the baiMin<f up of tl.e i city and deeply interested in popular j education. I ?et:d you h pamphlet ; which irivcs a l:ur account of school' work in the city; also a lelter of my own, addressed to ihe City Council on my departure.

Death of Rev. R. P. Johnsox.?Tt is with feelings of sadness we announce thut on Monday afternoon about :> o'clock, death terminated the labors of 1 he Rev. R. P. Johnson. Since ltWJ. Mr. Johnson has been minister to the Episcopal congregations in Yorkville and Rock Hill. As a missionary, during the same period, he labored at {.lark's Station, in this county; at Lancaster, and, occasional Iv, in Chcs?!?! Mr .Toinison was born in the I city of Charleston, S. C., in lS'J'J. Ilis father was Dr. Joseph .Johnson, brother ofJudire William Johnson. In lt>42, (lie Hev. If. I*. Johnson was graduated from the Collide of Charleston; in 1819. he completed the prescribed theological course in the theological seminary at Alexandria. Virginia, and the same year was ordained by the Rev. Dr. William Meade, I>i>h<?p of liie Protestant Episcopal Church of Virginia. For a period of perhaps two vcars belabored in Halifax and Prince Ueorjfe connues, v I'lum tnginia lie returned to his native State, and ministered for some time to the eoiurreiration at En taw vi He, in Upper St. John's. At one time lie was assistant ministerat Grace Church, Charleston. In ltfG9, his labors in Yorkvi.le and Rock Hill began. These labors were continued until he was called away by the Gr^ad Shepherd and Bishop of Souls. Th?? record of Kev. It. P. Johnson is without a Olot. i>y every instinct of his nature, and by the force of education, lie was a gentleman. lit* was more than this.
