A GAiiE called Lacrosse is said to be j growing very popular in the United I States. It is recommended as scien-1 tific, graceful and vigorously athletic, requiring quick wit, clear eye, strong j arm, nimble foot and level head. It is to be hoped that it may continue to gain favor day by day until baseball: has been either entirely superseded or 1 at least discontinued for a little while, i A western* newspaper happened to j speak of Jno. J. Ingalls a few days j ago in connection with the Presidency j and an industrious reporter went forthwith to see him. The Senatorial! warrior, with his usual candor, said at i once that he had no such aspirations ; because there was not the slightest j prospect ef his nomination. It is real refreshing to find a man who can talk out in such a strain when he is merely tickled with an empty compliment i Most men take them seriously. * It is said that the political atrnos- j pbere of Kansas has not been either purified or improved in any respect | by the exercise of woman suffrage.! Perhaps not; but the ladies may j insist that all great reforms require ; time, and that some little in-: dulgence should be shown them until | they learn how to manipulate a ballot. Whatever defense they may set up,! however, they had better be on tittup's and q's from now out or judgment j may be given against them. The bal- j ance of the country look upon it as a j test case. The determination of Parnell not to j sue the London Times for libel has j been very generally commended by his friends. It is . no doubt a wise conclusion. Tb*4 litigation would be I purposely protracted while the great i leader has so many other important! things to do. He "has disproved the i story to the entire satisfaction of all j fair-minded Englishmen, and the ver- j diet of a jury could add but little to his vindication. His malignant persecutors have been foiled in this at-1 tempt to destroy his reputation, and! he can afford under the circumstances to let the matter rest where it is. The number of murders and homicides in the United States reported in the newspapers duing the year 1SSG was, according to the World Almanac, 1,499. The number of legal executions was 83. The number of lynchings reported was 133. These last are distributed among the States in various proportions, Texas leading the list with 17. South Carolina is credited (or discredited if you please) with onlv 3. With this year, 'nnrrovoi-, wr. hare made a more'indastrlous start, : and if the Yorkville tragedy is re-; peated again soon South Carolina will not simply displace Texas from the ; eminence of temporary leadership, T>ul will in all probability fairly beat the recerd. ^ -w Secretary Lamar's oration at the unveiling of the Calhoun monument has been subjected to all manner of j criticism by the press of the United States. There is much malevolent i spite exhibited, of course, but, gen-j erally speaking, it is pronounced a ! glowing tribute to the dead Carolinian j and worthy of a place among the j famous ?rations of the century. It certainly contains many strikingly j original suggestions, and will abun-; dantly repay a careful perusal.

Goverxok Hill,"of New York, seems to be about as well acquainted with the veto prerogative as President Cleveland. He has vetoed five important bills by the Legislature of his State during the past week. His reasons for so doing, however, are perfectly conclusive. He does not believe in special legislation; on the con- j trary his position is that any given ; law should operate equally through-i out the whole State. He is right. But j this growing evil is not confined to j l(ew York. We have had quite enough , of it here. Indeed, if it is to go much i farther every town and county in the i State will soon have a spccial code of j its own. If the legislative mind can't j perceive the evil tendency of the thing ! it is fortunate that relief can come ! from some source. "We commend j Governor Hill's example to our own Executive.

It is peculiar to the English law* j and those countries inheriting tho sysj tem of English jurisprudence. It j anteeates Magna Charta and the Nor| man invasion. The beauty about a ! jury trial is that no one of their num[ ber is responsible and nobody can blame them. They are the conservators of the lives, liberty and property of their fellow-citizens. They are a representative body and carry into the jury room their own rights as well as the rights of their fellow-citizens. The safe-guard of our rights is the jury trial, the safe-guard of the jury trial is well-informed mind and en lighted conscience, and the safe guard of the latter is the education and virtue of the people.?Laurens Advertiser. The Public Schools. The idea seems to prevail in certain quarters that the salaries of the public schoo] teachers may be reduced by about one-halt without destroying the efficiency of the service. We fail to see the force of such reasoning. The highest salaries now paid to public school teachers, to state the proposition in the very mildest manner, is not a whit more than they ought to receive for their services. If Xewberrv j county wants to prolong its school term by reducing the salary of its teachers to ten or fifteen dollars per month, let it do so, but wc hope that the trustees of the public schools in Fairfield will continue to give the I teachers something like value received for their services, The idea that a | first class school teacher can be hired even in this country for fifteen dollars per month is unadulterated nonsense. Whenever salaries arc cut down in I any county to this starvation point, j the teachers, after the manner ot the ! Arabs, will "fold their tents and ; silently move away." "When we read the claim of a newspapar that it is a friend of education, and is working for the children, and see these statements followed by a proposition to reduce the salary of teachers to the wages of plow boys, we i are reminded of the famous prayer of j Canning, to {:be saved from a candid ! friend."

They must be maintained, and their efficiency must be increased rather than diminished. President's Cleveland's Intentions. William Dorsheimer, editor of the Xew York Star, tells in the last issue of that paper what President Cleveland said to him last January in reference to the matter of declining a second terra. He says the President said to him that lie was contemplating the making of a public declaration which would lake him out of the lield as a candidate in 18SS; that he was led to this determination not by personal considerations aione, but because he fnonfh'r, en '_ }? ntuMiil ?<?Axoyo-. "htin from imputations which were daily cast upon him, and which interfered >vitli his usefulness in office. After listening to ihe President's observations and sti;^ osin? that he wished an expression of opinion from him, Dorsheimer advised against such a course, pointing out that it would probably increase rather than diminish perplexities, and here, he says, tbe matter dropped. So it would seem after all that there is something' in this talk of the President declining to be a candidate for re-election. He is the last man to whom could be imputed a want of sincerity, and if he has made up his mind not to run he will probably remain unshaken in that determination. "We believe that such action 021 his part will be very unfortunate for the party and the country, but at the same time we recognize the fact that the precedent thus established might turn out to be of incalculable value.

Few public men in the history of the world have risen to so commanding a position as that occupied by Mr. Calhoun in his lifetime. For perhaps a quarter of a century he was the idol of the South; his will was the unquestioned law of his scctiou. Living in a period of intense political controversy and sectional rivalry, i he yet retained the unshaken confi- i denoe of his opponents and the intense admiration of his friends. Among the proudest tributes that have been paid to his memory may be ! mentioned that which fell from the i lips of his great and life-long rival j "Webster, in his funcr.il oration in the ; 'Senate at Washington: "Nothing J low or mean or groveling," says the j great expounder of the Constitution, ' "ever came near the head or heart of j Calhoun." lie was free from the sin of hypocra-; cy aud above the servile methods of j commonplace politicians, His exam-1 pic is worthy of commemoration; his fame of an imperishable monument.

Their objcct is manifestly to ; make the law so unpopular that the ; next Congress will repeal it; and to this end they are leaving no stone unturned. Instead of making an effort to conform their conduct to the just provision ot the law, they have arrayed themselves against it; they have ! formed new and startling combina' lions with the ill-concealed purpose j of defeating the will of the nation as | expressed in this act of Congress. Nobody need be deceived by the ! tone of public sentiment in the cities; ; this for an obvious reason is in favor | of the railroads. The cities were j allowed to share in the profits of the ! old plan. Some of them owe all that | thev arc co the railroads. They arc the beiiciiciaries of corporate crime. It is naturethat they should be with the railroads. But the great majority of the people live away from the cities?in the small towns, in the villages and in the country. These will not sit supinely down ! and permit their rights to be ignored, even by a railroad company. They do not ask anything more of the railroad than what is just and fair and reasonable, and this they will surely have. It is not too soon, however, to take precautions, and it ought to be understood now, all along the line, that no candidate will be returned to : Congress who docs not pledge himself to stand up for the rights of the people against the railroads. The cry of the railroads and the "terminal points" that the inter-State commerce law is all wrong, won't do. The "Work, of tlie CotUfieis. The press of the Slate make various comments on the recent decision of the Supreme Court touching the right of married women to mortgage their separate estates. The Columbia Record says: Ah unfortunate feature of the decision is that it proceeds from a divided Court?Mr. Justice JMcGowan concurring in the views of Judge Hudson, who held the married woman's mortgage valid. It happens that Judge lludson is perhaps* the ablest of the Circuit Judges, while Mr. Justice McGowan is" quite the peer of either of his brethren on the Supreme bench. In this state of opinion among these four Judges, we may not be surprised to find that among lawyers also there will be eouallv wide difference. Most persons who have lent money) upon mortgages made by married women have doubtless done so under j advice from some good lawyer. That; lawyer may well point to the concur- i rence of jurists like Hudson and McGowan as indicating that the majority 01 the Supreme Court have strained a point in order to secure a married woman in the enjoyment of her sepa- j rate property and protect her from the ; misfortune or the mismanagement of' her husband. ivo doubt the first prime requisite of j the law is certainty, and the respou- j sibility for introducing confusion into ; the Married Woman's Act of 1S70 j should be fixed where it belongs. It i was reasonablv nvioaj^uM.^ '" was'Ifo room lor doubt about it, until the solons who compiled the General Statutes of 18S2 inserted i-.? Section 2007 the words "as to her separate property." This insidious aine dmcnt it is which now unsettles so many business transactions. Perhaps the Court should have adopted the conclusion of Judges McGowan and Hudson, limiting the effect of this pestilent clause, but if censure is to be visited on the head of any one let it come down where it properly belongs. The .Railroad i*aestio:i. We publish in another column a call for a public meeting at the Court House Wednesday evening, to which all public-spirited citizens should respond. The problem of regulating railways is the most important one that has en gaged the attention of the people of this country in a century. These corporations have abused lo an incalcu-1 lable extent the great privileges which have been granted to them by the State; they have foisted upon us a tyranny more galling than any which v/as ever before imposed upon the English-speaking race. We have heretofore in these columns referred to some extent in detail to the outrages which they have systematically pra':- ' ticed. The merits of the case is now well understood everywhere. Congress, at its last session, passed a law which was intended to reach the evil, and provided for a commission to spa its fldminisfr.itioji. To this commission great powers were delegated?even the power of suspending the operation ot the law. The law abolished "pooliug" and provided against unjust discriminations; it demanded -nothing of the railroads but that they should deal fairly- with the people. They are, however, not willing to do this, and have petitioned the commission to suspend the operation of the law. There is also another phase of the question which deserves to be noticed ?the "terminal points." That is, the cities that have had competing lines arc opposed to the law?even Columbia has sent up a memorial to the commission. Here is the difficulty of i * - * * -j ^11 I tiie situation: tne great ciues are uu opposed to the law; they want to hold on to the unjust advantages which they have heretofore enjoyed under the old plan; ail of the great newspapers are published in the cities, and being without sufficient virtue to rise superior to their surroundings are likewise opposed to the law and are clamoring for its supensicn or repeal. The commissioners arc besieged at every point by the railroads and their "terminal points," and the unholy alliance in the prosecution of an uti/v'%fnAti f /iftnM In? OCT llOl'A C) 1 i^UL^/UUO ^v?UCV JiUCj uj ir u ??mp i v >jv%*vtj j the energetic support of a venal press. The people, in whose interest the Jaw was enacted, are silent. They are leaving the commissioners to fiirht their battles alone. This is not right. The cause of the people should be laid before the commissioners that they may fully understand the merits of tlie I case. Let them hear a voice, not from | "a far off land," as George Eliot has said, but from the fort? millions of their countrymen who live away from the railroads and the "terminal points," and who ask nothing of either but a fair and equal chance in the race of life. The small towns and the country ; should take immediate steps to lay their claims before the commission. Let Winnsboro set the ball in motion. Let us meet to-morrow night at the Court House and prepare a memorial and send up to the commissioners asking that the law be enforced. Rivals, but Friends. Literary and scientic men may be great, but they are human. Their lives, therefore, arc often full of rivalries, and the public peace is disturbed by their contests for precedence in discovery. There was, many years ago, a warm controversy between several claimants of the honor of discovering l lie fact that inhaling sulphuric ril?T would mitigate or annihilate pain. The dispute was revived when a benevolent gentleman announeisl his intention of erecting a monument in the Boston Public Garden, in honor of the beneficent discovery. Whereupon, a wit suggested in one of the newspapers that all the claimants should be represented on the sides of the monument, while over I them ai!, in Ictttrra of gr^ULj-elionld be written the word "Either." The pun made the town laugh, and no serious controversy was possible afterward. Mr. Whipple introduces this anecdote in his biographical essay on "Motley, the Historian," to set forth the singular freedom of W. H. Prescott from the besetting sin of men of letters." After Motley had matured his plans for writing a his'.ory of the Dutch Republic, he learned that Prescott had made large preparations for writing the "History of Philip the Second of Spain," though his "History of the Conquest of Peru" had not yet been published. Prescott was then the most popular of American historians; Motley was known only as the author of two successful novels. He called upon Presf?nth unfolded to him his t?lans. and indicated the points where the historian of "The Rise of the Dutch Republic" would cross the path o'f the historian of "Philip the Second." Ke then expressed his willingness to abandon his project rather than interfere with Pre^cott's intended work. The genial Prescott, incapable of envy, assured' Motley that the two books would not injure each other, a:ul then warmly encouraged him to carry out his work, telling him that he was at liberty to take home all the books in his (Prescott's) library bear U.JJUU C LI I "Had the result of that interview," said Motley, "been different; had he distinctly staled, or even vaguely hinted, that it would be as well if I should select some other topic: or had he sprinkled me with the cold water of conventional and commonplace etohim with a chill upon my mind, and no doubt have laid down the pen at once." But Prescott even crowned his literary magnanimity by calling attention, in his preface to the "History of Philip the Second," to the forthcoming work of Motley, and that, too, with generous praise of his brother historian. Prescott did not live to complete his work, but if he haa lived ai long as the Patriarchs, he could have added nothing to the purity and generosity of his literary character. lie, the most popular "of American historians, whose works readers in Europe and America was eager to receive, announces to them,' with words which anticipates his brother's fame, that they will soon have the pleasure of reading from another historian a more minute account of the i revolt of the Netherlands than he had given, because it was but an episode of his history. Motley could never speak of his brother historian's disinterestedness without deep emotion. He felt tne amiable heart and the stainless purity of Prescott to be something which should be reverenced.?Youth's Companion. WADESBORO'S HOPE. A Possibility of Another Railroad?A j Direct .Line of Communication With j Macon and the Gate City. (From the Wadesboro Intelligencer. The citizens of Winnsboro, S. C., give notice that they will apply to the Legislature of that State, at its next session for a charter for the Camak, Ga.. So Wadesboro, N. C., Railroad, the said railroad to run in the general direction of these two points, and to pass through Alston, S. C., the Fairlield grauire region, and the great Catawba Falls. Mr. G. H. McMaster, of Winnsboro, S. C., a banker, and the foremost business man of the place, backed by other influential citizens, has written a letter to Esq. Crawford, of "Wadesboro, on the subject, and he gives every encouragement to hope that the road will become a reality. Our people should up and go to work, if they wish Wadesboro to hold its own. If we can but get this road, we can afford to laugh at our failure to get the road which, it is promised, will run from Atlanta via of Athens to Monroe. The proposed route from Camak to Wadesboro po>sesses advantages which will not be claimed by the other road.

The proposed route is the most direct line between Norfolk and all the great cities south of us, viz.: New Orleans, Mobile, Montgomery, Birmingham, Savannah, etc. It will run through the finest granite quarries in the United States, now undeveloped, which would alone furnish unending amounts of freight. It will also cross at (Jatawba Falls, acknowledged to be the finest water ' -l* * 1- A power easi 01 lae .auieg uauieo. We copy the following from the Wiunsboro Xews and Herald: Mnj.

The line of road as proposed would ] be_ a great boon lo the quarries of j Fairfield, "Winnsboro and the Catawba Falls. The finest granite on the American Continent can be found in i Fairfield, the best water power cannot j excel the Catawba Tails, and there are few towns in the State that show more enterprise than Winnsboro. A charter has been applied for, and we hope our people will put their shoalder to the wheel and build this road. It would beuefit every portion of the county, and would open to our j people the opportunity of enjoying in ! diversified industries which are so j important for the prosperity of any j country. Let the matter be agitated j morougniy ana succcess win oe me result. There appears to be 110 doubt about i the railroad being built. Xo favors have as yet been asked at our hands, all that has been asked Is that some representative citizen apply to our Legislature for a charter for that part of the road which shall run in North Carolina. It is desired to obtain the charter in the three States as near the same time as possi.ble. Should the county be called upon fo" subscriptions to aid in construction of the road, let us all make up our minds to subscribe the required amounts with alacrity- "We cannot afford to throw ar.y obstacle in the way which may deter the road from coming this way. Let us have it at every cost, if possible, and it will prove cheap at any cost in the long run. OCR EXCHANGES. Pickett'* FamouH'Chargo. (Orangeburg Time* mid Democrat.)

One N'3d Forrest, a well-known gambler of San Francisco, has turned over a new leaf, and come to the front as an evangelist. Of course he draws crowds. His slang is pungent and picturesque, and his anecdotes make his hearers laugh. When Mr. Forrest says that she Lord has ''dealt him a full hand," and that be "can win every time," ihe oddity of the thing is very captivating. It tickle* his congregation, too, to hear a certain denomination styled "the people who do the prayer act," and there are peals of laughter when he alludes to clergymen in white neckties as "fine-haired "ducks." j It is safe to predict for Mr. Forrest 3 brilliant career and big" collections, j It is the fashion these days to run after such clowns. But there is trouble | ahead. The genuine evangelists and pastors of churches are beginning to find their work interfered with injuriously by men of the Xed Forrest stamp. Already there are muttered protests. We may expect shortly to hear from the churches. The press is speaking out. There is a growing feeling that we have had too much of these sensational circus me'liods. "Let all things be done decently and or?rt in nrrW ? ia ft oynj mlP i? SRftll matters. Farm Labor. {Monthly Report Department of .1 gricnllure.) Farm labor is abundant, and reported as increasing in efficiency. One hundred and eighty-two of the correspondents reply that labor is "good fifty as "indifferent," and ten as "bad." Only twenty-eight carrespondents report a scarcity ot labor, caused by the laborers working on turpentine farms and railroads. The emigration appears to have had no apprecia Me effect on the farm labor of the State. The Color Line. (Sumter 'Watchman and Southron.) Because a man is black that is 110 reason why he is not just as eligible as one who is white to compete for a prize at the great national drill which is to take place in Washington in May. Two or three companies of colored men are booked to appear at the drill, and, it is stated, that this is tlie sole reason why certain Alabama companies intend to withdraw from it. How very silly. The Washington drill will be a national, affair, and it ought and will include all classes who are citizens of the United States. To prohibit these colored companies to enter this drill would be undemocratic, and the principle thus established would militate against the true genius of a broad and liberal form of government. The test is one of military efficiency and not oue of social status. Qualities of character are the needful requisites in soldiery and not the peculiarities of the skin. So, Alabama, don't be foolish about this matter. If your onmn.inips withdraw from this drill oil account of the color line, it will not speak weil for the broad and liberal views of our Southern companies. Why Stokeis Will Never Deal Faro Again.
