The Press and BanneiJ By Ilusrh Wilson anil H. T. Wnrdlaw.ji ^ ^ 1 Wednesday, April 6. 1881. ,s, - a The Public Schools. ii ; g Our enterprising neighbor tins .iikrn Jour-1 i iinl and Review tins recently boon much inter-11( CKlerl in tlie discussion of the present school ! system of South Carolina, ami asks us, among j c others, to give our views. We admit that we Ij have given tlie subject much consideration, K nnd also admit that a proper solution of our! si school troubles is a difficult one. for us at j ^ Venrs .iiro \re were a zeilous ad rocate j of as much taxation for educational purposes! jr ;i8 possible, but after spending from Sl.l.OOO to !l $30,000 a year in this county for the last twelve j years, o jr observation forces us to the eonelu- a sion tha'-MUch of thismoney has been thrown j away, and until new light is shed upon us on v this subJcct wc shall strenuously oppose thojr levying of any more taxes for school purpose*. I. If it were possible to effect a result we should i,, "advocate the reduction of olir school lax to| li one half the amount, now collected. Tliej 'money spent for educating the negroes of this j j county has resulted in their being taught the: i lbundailoti of an education, but. we cannot j * 6ay that it has ever made one more honest or; more virtuous, or has in any way better fitted i r him for citizenship. What our colored pets- z pie and many of our white people lor that < J, ' ' ?< .. ! I mailer neeu, is me na-uiouiuii <>i ?.uiv 11 acute sense of right and wrong, uiul the instil- J lntion of a higher standard of molality. Tit is L must be done in the family and in thcchurch. i r And such desirable results are not to lie ut'if tained hiaday or in a year. Growth in moruli-; j ty is slow to mature,aiid education without s morality is of 110 worth. ItvHsoisl'.ig from ' analysis, it would seem that our present', school system is an approach to a violation of j that provision of the constitution which pro- ;' Mdes that there shall be no union of church L itnd State. Our people need moral culture j i more than educational Advantages, yet the I" Htate pretends to furnish the latter, while it is! denied the right to furnish religious consola- 1 tlon or sectarian instruction. j * NVe are opposed to additional taxation be- ^ cause we be'icve that the opening of public;! fcchools, under the present system, has a very " - J demoralizing t-iieri upon wanj guu<i vunvno, who now refuse to contribute to schools lor j <! the reason that they think the public should J educate their children. I-csldcs this the fund ! s Is Inadequate, and then there may be cause of | c dissatisfaction in the payment of that money f to particular teachers. The State should keep , j a fund for the purpose of educating ail poor i children, but we think the State oversteps the bounds of Republican principles when it iov- j. ies a tnx for the education of ull children, or ! t assumes to compel their attendance nt school, j J This is governing too much, and Is taking about as much authority over the citizen as is r <lone in the most despotic commies. 1 Senator Hahonc. , The newspapers arc sitll full of nhu?e ofl(. Senator Mahone, and it seems that the chief p ^>usine?s of the Senate is to give the various Senators a chnticc to let off some refined bil- j j lingsgate. \V? frint elsewhere another specimen of the Style of oratory tlmt is now con- J turning the valuable time of the Senate. For j ( our own part, we havo not been convinced of f the possibility of any good results to follow. J On the whole we leel the.t the outlook for the | V democracy Is Indeed blue. Mahone's action, j i and the abuse which is henpod upon him, to- * pettier with a spirit of unrest in tin* ranks of j t tho Democratic party, indicate that without ji some unlooked for event to solidify and unify |! us in our opposition to Republican rule, that j j there will bo troub!e in Democratic quarters. 11 ' ~JWe may s.'iroiy set it down that there will be j ' two candidates for State oftiees and that there ! i will be two candidates for each of the county 11 offices. As matters now stand we believe u J J division among the white people isinmiinent j i Und unless the arrests which are to be made,' for alleged violations of the election law or ^ some other act of the Republican leaders,! t of u^)nguiii^7CiT^Tsr4 Jtlet, and when the division does come, It will, have the effect of purifying the ballot-box 1 and as ft natural result, we will became more -1 tolerant to political adversaries, this ; c mi disgraceful abuse of, O-ciluen who may r "notact Tn STcoTd iri'th our own wishes will|g bo stopped. The country, it seems to us must 11 be thoroughly disgusted with the conduct of' J Hill and Voorhcos who have no doubt been | instrumental in givii>g solid strength to Ma- J i hone and any who may he ve sympathised Ir with him. It cannot be denied that Mahone's j. conduct is subject to criticism, but as two or i ij three wrongs can never make aright, ve sub- [ s mit that it is time to let Mahone alone. The.' country must now be nauseated and by the | j time each of the Senators get through with !1 their abuso of him we will be sick indeed, j1 ? Mrc think the Senate of the United States has [ i been in exceedingly small buslnes recently. ; I IVasted Sympathy. { Quite a number of our exchanges have! wasted a quantity of tears over the fact that ! Jim Block, who was bunged at Sumter a lew ! I weeks ago, happened to break the lope at the j ^ first fall, when the Sheriir was compelled to I make the second attempt to hang him. By t the break of the rope the negro's life was pro-jJ lonecd. in a half unconscious condition, for j about fifteen minutes. This has been regard-j' ed nearly as shocking to the nerves of sen- J sltlve men as was Mahone's vote to the office- ] holders at Washington. We claim to have as j 1 much or tjpe milk of human kindness as any j1 man living, but we take no part nor parcel In 11 such sentimentality as that. The jailer did ] c his duty and the extra fifteen minutes of life |* to the culprit were not so terrible a? might be | *uppo?ed. Ten thousand citizens ol the State t suffer more every day from rheumntism than 1 *} id Jim Black and are not tired <tf life, either, j If peoplcare so excessively carefulof a felon's | comfort they should see that our Julls are mado j' more tenable. No doubt many a poor prisoner has this winter sufl'ered intensely in the j i Jails of this State, bccauso of an Insufficiency |' of blankets and because of the poor arrange- i i ments for warmingourprisons. Wedonotre-, t member to have seen anything In any of our ! { exchanges in behalf of the poor unfortunate 'c creatures who are deprived of the comforts of j > home, and forced to lie in a cold and cheerless | J prison while waiting fortrial, because of their j inability to furnish ball for their appearance I at court. We doubt very much if any lunch- j' es, flowers, or good whisky cocktails or mlntjt Juleps were sent Jira Black to cheer him t during his long confinement, and if the facts ;1 were ascertained we would not be surprised to t Jcarn that iic slept on the floor, without the,? sign of a feather bed. j J ; t The Teacher's Institute. |< In our issue of last week we referred to the j s fact that we thought Due West would be a | good place for the meeting of the Teacher's j1 Institute. Slncc then we are glad to learn ! 1 that our friends at that point had anticipated j us, and had long ago invited the committee :; on place of meeting to designate Due West as i the place for the ensuing meetlug of thatj1 association. We repeat all that we then said , about the appropriateness of the place in ev-11 cry respect, and trust that our neighbors may i1 JUl>U lilU j?icaau?fui ciiivi uuiiiug r?</ iui^v t* body of excellent men. Wcaresure that better; buildings and a more hearty welcome ilo not j await themany where. We should be delight-' eel to have the teacficrsof tlie State conic to any part of Abbeville county, but as no place! In the county, all things considered, can oiler j as many inducements, we should be pleased) for thein to go to Due West. The people there \ would more tbae sustain the reputation of the county for morals, scholarly attainments, I true gentility, and genuine hospitality. Wo j hope that the committee on place of meeting will consider the claims of Due West. ?<*>? The Railroad Meeting-. j Quite a number of our citizens met In the! Court House last Monday, with the most sat. isfactory results. The friends of the road by i Abbeville have the greatest reason for encour. j ngement. It was plain to be seen that our j peoplo were determined upon going to work, and since the meeting various of our citizens j have each subscribed live hundred dollars to the enterprise. From present indications Ab j ? bevllle will do more than her share in the work. Let the other townships do their duty as well as Abbeville is doing and .the work i will go forward without delay. There is no estimating the value to the country of agrcat through line as this will be. j i Little toyrus will spring up at many places,! which will furnish a Rood market,almost at j the door of every farmer, with facilities near- i ly equal to thoie of the great cities. j Trial Postponed. ; ( !? We learn from the Greenville Xcwa of last; t Bunday that L. C. Northrop, U. S. District!' Attorney, has notified Commissioner Blytho ' { that the cases Involving violations of the elec- ( tion laws sent up from Greenville county to i the April term of the District Court will not' J be tried. From this fact we are led to infer t that the trial of persons already arrested for alleged violations of the election law will not ? be tried, and that no further arrests will be, i wade. Of this, however, the reader Is as able < to Judge a* we arc. ? Tjik Spartanburg and Asheville Railroad I was sold at Spartanburg last Monday. The! ( property was bid oil" by Col. Joeoph Walker,' chairman of the committee of some of the i bondholders, for SI 11;W). All the bondholders I were represented except a few from Charles- j ton aci one Irom North Carolina Iwmetfl-ts ately ai'ter the sale a meeting was held and a i now company organized under tbe title of' i the Ashevllle and Spartanburg Railroad Co;r^ i pany. with R.

At present the road is noi ( ' nown abroad. It is not spoken ol in tin , isilt'oiid world, because we have not yet dom I . ny work.

Captain I'.radicy thought the only dillletilty I Ss. rhicli we now lad to conletul with was I h? |"' . nipcrieet charter of the road. It seems that I isdillieult to cet a charter which will hold W) ood iu our courts. I'nder t lie present char-1, j er only landowners aie entitled to petition jn| nd vote on the queition of taxation for this'. oad, and i! is contended hy someof our eiti- on ens thm the constitution guaiantcesto every , . ... ... U'l.iln r I...... iv n .tiller- ' nee of opinion as to the validity of the char- jer, we have no doubt that 11 sis matter could : ' >c decided to-day to the.satisfaction of all. Wisj lave able lawyers present who will no doubt I ic wiliinjr to express their apinion of this! J natter. If we take subscriptions, those who' .J" ub-cribe should make up their minds to pay, i ' .ml in the event that we do nut have the elec- j., ' ion, we innst raise ten thousand dollars liy I. . inscription ; one half of which should boi'' laid in cash, 'litis amount when collected ! j kouid grade from six, oiirht or perhaps twelve J J.'' nib's. The line from i-.duetield toTrickom k'ill he easily crad?-d, from l-MJ/^tlekl to Tren- j on the grading is already finished. Western ' onjpanles are anxious Tor any outlet to the '. ca ami will eijuip our road if we only Ki':?'le i" t. Our Representative Mr. i'arker is present ,nd I should ho glad to hear from him, as to ? , he legality of the charter. , Mr. Parker said that, his friend had put a laid lob on him when he a? ked him to detine ' he ell'tot of this charter. It is generally cov- j .j eded that no human power call loretvl I the! j.rriict of a iurv. and 1 think that it is c?;ual y us ditlicult 10 anticipate thedecision of Hie ;upremc Court. I know that there are law- ' crs who believe It good, but there arc other* ,, if a different opinion. Although I intro-| ' I need the bill, it was not prepared by me. It i.. . vas prepared by one of the ablest solicitors i? | ', tie State, to whom this very question was j r.bmiited. Me thought it was good, and with- ,i. >ut having given sueh Investigation as would ; :v. liable him to express a very confident opii;-j<.' on. he had 110 hesitation in saying that at i... >resent he entertained the same view. Mel ] lid not sec tin't the landowner could object,i? he Interest of the tax-payer on personal es- j .... ite was identical with that of the landowner I mil heought not Jo object and he did not!, liink the voter who paid no tax was in any 1 i?( vay aliecteil by it to as to entitle him to \-j lia'ke objectIon. :. , O. T. Caihoun, Ksq., was in favor of the road ! 'i,, ind in favor of taxation. Me thought the: y harter better in its present condition, which j . xcluiied non-landowners from voting, than j() t would be if ameiiilcii so as to uliow every-1 ... )ody to vote. 1.01 the land ownersdecide this j ' luestion for themselves, ltis not right toask ;|(, hose who arc not tax payers, to vole upon the j * picstion of taxing land. The principle is Lj, vrong. ,l( Mr. Parker stated that as we had a learned : nember of the lk-ncli present he hoped to S|1' tear from him. 11', Tinifi> Thomson came solely as a listener. in fie cutiUI but say however that Use road would . -j'j i<? of great advantage t" us. We have a road j n, >n the Saluda side, another is In an advanced jtl luge of completion in t tie lower part of tlie j,,, jounty, and work has betn commenced on the i tavannah Valley Kallroud. With these facts leforeus it seems stiangc t h;it we should have j lone at the heart of the county, if the road j |t, ilong the Savannah Is bu;P, and the road fiom i i recti wood to Augusta is finished, if we do j lothlug, hi twenty years' from now somej^>| earned man will come heie to lock over our cmains. to see wherea tow 11 onccstood. IIuv- j w iik seen the ellect of Ihiilroads in dliferent i jjt mrts ot the State without goint; into part leu-1 liars, I would say that there is no prosperity < J.j ,vhere theie s're no railroads.

As 1 stood an<l looked upon that I ire, and inndo it more picturesque, I was filled I | I fi led it, with my own work. The snn, steadily | . ?. uml penetrating, and agitating, drank up the ! 1 n; and in half an hour the whole tiling had taken , 0 s and faded away It to vacuity, and there was Ing of it to be S"en: but when it lifted there were lit Holyoke, Mount Tom, Sugnrloaf Mountain, ey, Northampton, all the motiutains and villages.'

We will not*a?l; any-: : oil the subject of the human race; we will e >n- j >nr thoughts to thu community where we live? .o lirooklyn or New York. J e stalciMe'nt of the New Testament, the ground 1 hich all its proceduies are based, is that men are g in a low, unsatisfactory, animal condition; that are not living tinder moral inspiration; that they ; _ esnling in their baser nature. you take the modern views of human organ i/.,v! that a man's first tier of facultiel are those of the ' al, the appetites and pissions. and have respect to oily, to the outside world, mid deal with inatcri il :s; that these me gradually dcvel"; -d w ithin otli-j . utiles that iceogni'.e qualities in si -iety?the af- " mi of tl.e thousand forms in which. urn interlace j affiliate with each other; thai higher than ! come the pciceptiveaiid reflective reason; that | l' tliein all. as a moral judge, is the eMernal sense | j e tit and the unfit, right and wrong, good or bad; ^ hat higher yet is the sense of the itifin'te, the in-1 le, the spiritual? if this is the organization of} -and il answers near enough to the facts, 1 think, j i come within the consciousness of every man?the icalion is what is the average run of llf? among men ? 'here <lo they live? If you consider those who arc it* lowest and tli? worst, tbey aro men who not only vc exclusively by their animal passions, but live by . it-ill on thu currliptest and weakest side possible. a Thme is this to be said abont weak men?that they -f) e as niuch woreo than the animals th.-y are supposed ^' i represent, as inueii worse than the lion and the bear, i much worst* than insects an*i worms, and crawling ' lings, as their perversion is greater. A lion does not now how to be anything else; but a eruel man does ...tv In.vi- in tin niiiii'lliiii!? els?. A Hwinn iloos not now a* y bolter that lo giuttonize; but a man does now belter. The lower animals descend from noibg. Thev nr? where thev were liorn. They have Just ] ich Impulses- They never carry them to exces?. ? he ojc does not overeat. The birds ilo not overfeed. i the whole round of the wolf, the shark and the 8er nt life, therets not one that knows a sliurlo point ilsitle of the line of the serpent, the shark, anil the i olf nature. Tliey exactly perform the functions of ganle life, and live long lives?unless they die too \v< ion: tliey never die from dissipation or self abuse. they ilie prematurely it is always from external ncus'ion or action, Hut man, created a little lower i an the ante's abandons his spiritual nature, Ills Inlicet unt nature, and his social nature, and goes down oiling and rooting in the midst of things that belong _ tne grossest and lowest forms ol the animal pas- \ ms and appetites. Kv-rybody says that those men e livli.g in a very degraded condition. We need uo hei; testimony so far as that is concerned. ] Hut just above the men who represent the criminal nr>s. the vicious class, the class unit are called dangeris (though I do not think the bottom of society Is ly more dangerous than the top; I think tliedlssipa- _ >n of prosperity and junrer among the liiiprr class of V iciely is o great deal moredangerotts to the'cotnuion- * ealth than the dissipation of niiimal natures among _J e lower das*)?just above this lower class of men, orally speaking, tro the men who live not exactly in 1 e violation of their appetites and passions, but with- K it any adequate conception of their manhood'or of K e functions of lifo that are becoming. Thev are the I en of to-day not only, but the men of this hour. |j hey arc tlie men wnu nvo irom momentary nnprcsuns or what is pleasant. They will not take a inoent's pain now for the sake of creator pleasure by id by. They cannot understand that; or,if they cdi'i, icy can understand it only in a very small sphere. !n:y cannot connect tilings systematically so tlmt this ar shall bi-como the engineer of next year. Self Indulgence as against s-If-denial characterizes icm. .-elf-indulgence is lho one wasting vice and _ irseof humanity.

"llil.ijjrs seen are temporal (secular;: things unseen are eternal," saith the upostle. Now, w hen the itible comes and says to men, "'Tou ill need resurrection; joii all need to be boin again; von ae all living too near the nnimai life, too near the ileshly passions." even if you can In 11 measure justlty 1 ourselves ill those 1 epects, then the voice of God iays, "You tire not d> veloping that wliMi fa in you. 1 piVe you live talents: * line are the other live?'' How many men there tire who having I.Id their one tai nt uway t:i napkin, say. "horii. heie is the talent thou travest me.

How many are living In all the sweetuess of a cultivated and regenerated social life? If 1 look out upon human life, nnd measure it In this way. it is razeed, coarse, poor. When, therefore, the Scripture cornea and says to you. "It pleases God by llie power ol the Holy Ghost, to change men, und ti infuse into them this"leaven of growth, this fire of the ) . illvine soul, by which they aspire, and recognize God, j 1 and consecrate' themselves' to him," you be?ln to have I I higher Ideas than those which 111 ote you citizens of| time, creatures of the terrene.

Vou beai 11 to live, according to the teaching of the New Testament, in the new heaven which overhangs the old earth. Now, is tinit consonant with good sense? Is It conlonant with observation?
