By a vote of 111 to 30 the Pennsylvania Legislatnre the other day declined to make a law requiring all newspaper articles making personal allusions or remarks affecting the reputation of any citizen to be signed with the name and address of the The historian Froude pronounces America "not half a bad sort of place to live in." There are lots of Americans who wi'l feel grateful to histoi ian Froude for this piece of valuable information, which they probably would never have known if he had not discovered it. According to the Louisville Post, .J- quinine is quoted at an unprecedentedly low figure in the American market. This is said to be caused by the large crop of cinchona bark produced by cultivation/an element that hereafter will be constantly and prominently present to insure cheapness for this staple remedy. Last Friday was a gala day for New Yorkers, it being the day for the formal reception of the Bartholdi statue of "Liberty Enlightening the "World." The ship bearing the statue was met by a number of vessels and a procession formed amid the roar of salutes from cannon to welcome the token of Liberty. The Providence Journal demonstrates that Governor Bale became bankrupt by mixing politics and outside speculations with legitimate business. A merchant, as a rule, ought to stick to his counting room, run for 11? State office and avoid gambling ventures, if he desires to grow rich and remain so. A dispatch from St. Petersburg says that the newspapers of Russia j express the fear that a change in the English Government will be prejudiced to the amicable negotiations which were pending between the Glad-j stone government and Russia. They fear a change will interfere with a final adjustment of the difficulties.

Several influential citizens of the city have promised to contribute liberally to the fund. Seventeen West Point cadets were found deficient at the recent examinations in that school and informed that their services would not be needed, and their soldier life was over. The , two colored cadets, one in the third class and the other in the fourth, passed a very creditable examination. The first honor this year is taken off by a cadet from Kentucky. The Hon. B. T. Merrick, one of the most prominent lawyers of the country, is very ill at his home in Wash ington, and is not expected to recover. Mr. Merrick was coansel for Samnel J. Tilden before the election commission in 1876, and has represented the United States in a number of other important cases. His death would be a great loss to the legal profession of the country. One of the most fortunate Congressmen in the country is the Hon. \V. R. Morrison, of Illinois. His constituents did not bother him about officcs; he v - 7 does not think one of them has been in "Washington since Mr. Cleveland was inaugurated.

Clcverics, the murderer of Fannie Lillian Madison, has been sentenced to be executed on the 12th of November next. His counsel tried earnestly to obtain a new trial for the prisoner, bat the motion was not granted. A great number of objections were made by the defense to the admissability of erider.ee on the part of the State, and it is very probable that on some of the points the Supreme '- x -Court will differ with the presiding Judge, and therefore a new trial ordered. .JJnless they do, Cluverius will Tmv thfi of his awful crime with his life. i - Mayor Courtexay has replied to! Congressman Dibble in a well-pre-1 pared and temperate article. He brings out no new points. He basis I his charge of deception practised on the President, upon the statement | made by Mr. Dibble to the President,; to the effect tnafc the charges aga.jst Mr. Jtfowry were satisfactorily explained. Mr. Dibble, however, calls attention to the fact that all the charges were on file in the Treasury Department. The Mayor alleged that Mr. Dibble did not inquire of Mr Alexanor* Dmarf )w\t-L-oorvo?* r*** aF tV?o ! lawyer of the creditors who charged | Mr. Mowry with improper conduct, j Mr. Dibble rejoins that he did care- j fully inquire of both these parties,! before reaching his conclusion.

His theory makes no | more of the Bible, even as a body of ethics, than of other literary works. Indeed, he has been at some pains to point out that the ethics of ihe Bible is false and bad in many respects; that j it sanctions slavery and polygamy, and i other things that are immoral in them- j selves. His rejection of the Bible as ; an authoritv in doctrine and morals is j as complete as that of Herbert Spen- j cer, or Frederick Harrison, orTyndall, or Huxley, or Haeckel, or Monsignor (Japel. Plymouth pulpit is a nationalist platform, from which Mr. Moncure Conway, or Mr. Frothingham, or Mr. Felix Adler might with perfect propriety be asked to speak. The Rev.

This is jast what we want. We hope through this to unite and combine the elements of reform. The Republican party has claimed to represent all that was good. Now, we get the good men of both parties. The Republican party made the mistake of listening to "and obeying its worst elements, and was defeated. Cleveland was the choice of the best element of the Democratic party. Had Arthur beeD renominated he* would have represented the best element of the Republican party. Cleveland is winning the approval of the best men in both parties, and is onjy the inferior elements of the Democratic party that I hear complain. The bloody" shirt amounts to nothing. After moving it you will find you have only a rag left in you hand. I consider it a mistake ou tne part 01 tne itepuoncans, uut 1 am no politician. The Tammany braves are not satisfied with the treatment they have received from the Administration, and wear vengeance unless they arc given | a show in the distribution of the New York offices. A Washington correspondent says: Ha<*h Graut, Tammany's defeated candidate for the New York mayoralty, is here at the head of a delegation of brave?, bent on one more effort to induce Mr. Cleveland to do something for those who worked for him in the campaign in the metropolis, They propose that Mr. Cleveland shall call the leaders of the various Democratic j factions in New York together, and 1 see if some basis cannot he agreed on j for the settlement of the question of I the distribution of New York city patronage. They talk very plainly. They declare that Mr. Cleveland has the future of the Sfate and of the Democratic party in his hands, and that they are waiting to see what he will do." ?They hope he will make au effort j to unite the factions, but they fear that he may continue to snub Tammany, as he has been doing, and they make no [ secret of the fact that if he refuses to give them any recognition whatever, they shall not hesitate to take a suitable revenge. The Newberry Observer says, in connection with the State Convention of 1884, that there "was an understanding", that there should be a clean sweep of the incumbent State officers in 1886. The trouble about the Convention in 1884 was that, as to the nomination? "or State officers, the body acted without any "understanding" at all. The action was, as we believe, in clear opposition to the will of the Democratic party?not as to the persons nominated* but as to the time of action. The manner of nomination? the whole ticket by one acclamationwas unjust to the nominees, as it was improper on every ground.. The nominees themselves must surely have had nothing to do with the manner of their nomination. However this may be, shonld they or any of them offer before the next Convention, they should have the benefit of a judgment on their merits, without reference to the pecu liar mode of their nomination in 1882. Whether there is to be a "clean sweep" remains to be seeu. We hardly think there will be. South Carolina folks are not much on a clean sweep of this kind anyhow; and they are by no means as ranch distressed abont things in general as some of the papers would make appear. The editor of the Brockton, Mass., Uaglc, a Republican paper, has been spending some time in Florida, and writes to his paper thns: It mfcht as well be added that the average New Englander, if living in Florida, would not be governed by the blacks of that locality; for alone, in my opinion, they are no more capable of acting as intelligent rulers than arc the children of a primary school in New England. And I ^av this as a Radical Republican. The ballot as yet in Florida has not, in my opinion, benefited the negro. Within the past few years there has been a marked flange of sentiment in the North on the subject of negro suffrage, and if it were left to the decision of that section there is not the slightest doubt that negro suffrage would be abolished altogether, or be so re&iriuieu M tu siuiuuuL tu ju^nuai abolition. fto set of men were ever more disappointed in their calculations than the Republican originators of the negro suffrage scheme were. They calculated upon it as the sure means of bringing the South over to and keeping her in the Republican party, and for a brief period, through the disfranchisement of white men aud the aid of Federal bayonets, it succeeded, but in the end it failed, and instead of being a means of crippling and holding the South in subjection it became the means of strengthening her power. This is where the shoe pinches now, and this is why the average Republican is no longer an enthusiast upon the subject of negro suffrage. Our Short Term Convicts. The question how the Jabor of oar criminals who have been sentenced to serve short terms either hj our county iails or the State penitentiary can be atilized, is one of growing importance, and one which deserves the, c&refal consideration and attention -of the lawabiding citizens of the State. "We are thrown daily in contact with a class of /. people whose moral sense has irot been ' cultivated sufficiently to look with contempt and disgrace upon criminals. It is a fact, conclusively proved, that it j is impossible to rid society of crime altogether. Then since this is true; the question becomes one of vital importance io the taxpayers of the State in what way can we utilize the labor of convict? who are guilty of minor j 3 - j offences and consequently sentenced to short terms in either our jails or peni- j tentiaries? Under our present law trial justices are empowered to impuse j a sentence not exceeding thirty days ' in the county jail in cases of minor | violations of the law. When we con-1 sider the number of these criminals j sent to our jail by the different justices ! of the connty, to be fed by the taxpay- j ers of the connty, while they live iu j idleness, the important question arises i cannot we ntilize their labor for the benefit of the county? Certainly, when they are kept at an expense to \ the connty, the taxpayers are entitled j to their labor. A plan can be adopted, j we thiuk, which will better serve the j ends of punishment and at the same | time be beneficial iu improving our i connty. It is one similar to ones adopted by.other States, and as. far as we have been able to learn works satisfactorily, so we give it for the deliberate consideration and attention of the taxpayers of the county. Suppose, for an illustration, we take a case?a white man is sentenced to the jail for the term of thirty days. While in iail hie hnarrl vvili msf t,hf> tnvnflv "tw "m" "vvv L'"J ers thirty cents per day, which would amount in thirty days, the time the sentence expires, to^nine dollars. For this the county receives nothing in return. The convict is simply held in confinement, and, in our judgment, does not feel disgraced when turned out, and as a matter of fact he has suffered no punishment. The county has simply lost nine dollars and the man is no better than when he was nrst placed in confinement, wouiuu not be a benefit, then, if he could be compelled to earn by labor at least enough to pay for his work. Some one has said that you can judge of the civilization of a people by observing the condition of the roads. Every one will agree with U5 when we say that it is to the interest of every one that the roads be kept in good repair. Why not then compel our criminal?, while serving sentences, to improve our roads and our streets? It will not only be a punishment to them, but the county would save 111 the long run money by the plan. But can we not go further? We learn that the superintendent of the penitentiary has said that convicts who are sent to the penitentiary for a less term than one year are an expense to the State. This s.1 qcc r\f r*r\n 1/1 bonf of VAUOO VI Ok llilillUiO VVU1U t/V/ V M>w home and utilized in the same way, and an expense saved to the State. It does seem to us that any fair-minded man who will give the subject careful consideration mnst come to the conclusion that there is room for reform (if it may be so styled) in the utilization of the labor of short term convicts. We would like to hear the subject discussed, as it appears to us that something of the kind is necessary, and we will be glad to hear from any one on the subject. THE WHITE OAK ACADEMY. Messrs. Editors: This flourishing ?nof?fn4?nn i\ia o r?o /Intr. i I'AOi* iuttuuuv;ii I/Ivclu vnv j\.ai with a public entertainment of a most interesting character on Friday, Jane 19f and it will perhaps interest the readers of The News and Herald to have a short sketch of the exercises. The entertainment took place in a grove of magnificent oaks, whose thick foliage furnished much-needed protection from the burning rays of the noonday sun. The first feature of the occasion was the contest for a handsome silver medal, to be awarded the best speaker. As the first speaker, Mr. Jas. Boulware was presented and rendered with credit to himself an extract from one of Senator Kill's Congressional speeches on reconstruction. Mr. J. A. Heffner, the next speaker, citKa ilaCl l/UUovll 1U1 (Jib JL HC J1U1II5 of Time," and with the gestures, graces and well-trained voice of a polished orator, thrilled his audience with the rendition of this most beautiful composition. II. G. Huey deserves praise for the way iu which he spoke his piece, "The South Once More in the Union." ' R. H. Lucas delivered an eulogy on "Georgia" that would have caused the breasts of our "goober-grabbing" brothers across the Savannah to swell with pride had they heard it. J. C. Patrick, fifth speaker, had chosen a selection well calculated to pat ms powers to a severe test, ana ms rendition of that most difficult selection, "The Black Horse and his Rider," goes to prove that he had not overrated his ability. M. M. Ross won well-merited applause by his good delivery of one of JF110. W. Daniel's patriotic compositions, "The South is Risinsr Up." M. M. White, the last speaker, had chosen the old familiar selection, "Sparticus to the Gladiators," and so well did he deliver this stirring address that we almost imagined ourselves a gladiator, and only realized that we were not in the gladiatorial business in time to save our umbrella from comiug in contact with one of the grave and sober judges who was weighing the merits of the different speakers. Thf? hnirrl nf inderps?fi-piipral .Tnhri Bratton, Rev. Mr. Mills, and Messrs. Chas. A. Douglass, \V. L. McDonald, M. B. McMaster and J. K. Alston? after mature deliberation, decided that the medal should be given to Mr. J. A. Heffner as the best speaker. This announcement called forth a hearty round of applause from the audience, proviug that the decision of the judges was endorsed by the audience. Mr. J. C. Patrick was selected for j special honorable mention, and it is | not improper'to remark that this is but j giving him his due. He is deserving I of highest commendation for the way I in which he acquitted himself. The Principal, Mr. J. S. Brice, next ; introduced Mr. "W. L. McDonald, who j had consented to deliver the prizes, j In au eloquent speech he gave words ! of praise to those who had so dis- j phswpd t.hpir dnfcv ftp ffi win hrsnn;\ihlA i positions for themselves, and with j words of encouragement to those who | had failed in winning position he en-! deavored to fire the hearts with a desire for destinctious in the future. ' The love of praise however concealedcby art, .. . ... * Reigns more or less and glows in every heart:" i i i . Zi. t.: i - , una sumo nau wuu u wuue uuieis tailed the decisions were not final, and there would be other opportunities of redeeming themselves. lie then proceeded to present the prizes. Miss Janette Patrick, who not having misspelled a word since last October, was awarded the prize on orthography. Mr. Walter Vinson was awarded the prize for the best Latin scholar. As Mr. Vinson was absent attending the examination for admission to Davidson College, the prize was turned over to his father. Miss Lillian Vinson won the second prize in Latin. Air. ai. -vi. >v nice won me prize as the best essayist. Mr. White also won a special prize, given by Mr. E. B. Ragsdale, to any pupil who wonld translate and correct a difficult Latin senteuco containing au error. Mr. J. A. liefl'ner was then presented with (he handsome medal, given to the best speaker. This closed the portion of the exercises in which the pupils were actors. The Principal then introduced Mr. Chas. A. Douglass, who had been invited to deliver an address to the pupils. Mr. Douglass expressed his satisfaction in responding to a call from constituents who in his hour of need had responded with such unanimity to his appeal. He congratulated the Principal of the academy and the parents of the scholars upon the display which had been made. He proceeded then to point'out the great importance of giving encouragement to ilie uistrics schools. He divided bis address under three heads?the duty of of parents to themselves, the duty to the children and the duty to the State. Every parent should desire to have his child occupj a more advanced position in the world than he (the parent) occupied. This could oulv be done by allowing the child to utilize the culture of the parent as a foundation upon which to build. The world to day is governed by men of thought and brains, and education was the instrument with whicii they work it is a sacred duty, therefore, to place this instrument in the hands of their children. In medieval times he who was strong of arm, keen of eye and quick of fence was the leader; this was the nhvsical aire:1 this nineteenth centurv is the intellectual age of the world, when brain power has supplanted muscular, and success can only be attained by the man who has all the resources of a broad and liberal education at iiis command.. This education it was the parent's duty to give. Anglo-Saxon supremacy could only be maintained by intellectual superiority. England's power was due entirely to her educational and intellectual training, and a nation's wealth could be measured by the intelligence of its citizens. The children of-to-day were the citizens to whose hands the destinies of the State were to be entrusted in the future. Parents should see that this holy charge was not placed in ignorant hands. Mr. Douglass then closed by introducing as the next speaker Dr. John Boyd, "whose Ciceronian efforts in the last political campaign had won for himself such an enviable name as an orator." Dr. Boyd, in an earnest, thoughtful appeal for co-operation and help for the public school system now in force, added new laurels to those already iunii ntul which lip wftftrs so oracefnllv. Alter Dr. Boyd had finished, we were invited to a table groaning under the weight of dainty delicacies and substantial viands, which attested the abilities of the housekeepers of the White Oak section, and entitles thenf to a place in the front rank of culinary artists. Your correspondent, after several years of experience, had about concluded that it was impossible to go to any corner of Fairfield county where the dismal cry of "hard times" would not be heard. White Oak is an exception, and from the cheerful taces of the farmers and well cultivated crops and well kept stock one sees in tliis section he is apt to conclude that hard times are unknown in this region. If all sections were populated with such go-ahead, progressive farmers and public-spirited citizens, Fairfield, instead of being "a good county to move from," would be the garden spot of the r uue. Such a scholastic exhibition proves that all that is needed to make our public school system a success is the co-operation -of all cilizens, whether parents or not. Such a school is a credit to any neighborhood, and the young Principal who has made it such a success deserves all praise and honor. The trustees have wisely decided to retain Mr. J. S. Brice as -Principal, and next fall the White Oak Academy will be opened under his management, and the wish is father to the thought when we predict success to the Academy in the future. a. t.

A large proportion of tie diseases which cause human suffering result frou derangement of the stomach, bowels, and liver. Ayee's Cathaktic Pills act directly npon these organs, and are especially designed to cure the diseases caused by their derangement, including Constipation, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery, and a host of other ailments, for all of which they are a safe, sore, prompt, and pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these Pills by eminent physicians in regular practice, shows unmistakably the estimation in which they are held by the medical profession. These Pills are compounded of vegetable substances only, and are absolutely free from calomel or any other injurious ingredient. A Sufferer from Headache writes: "Avek's Pills are invaluable to me^and are my constant companion. 1 nave oeeu a severe sufferer from Headaclie, and your Pills are the only thing I could look to for relief. One dose will quickly move my bowels and free my head from pain. They are the most effective and the easiest physic I have ever found.
