What w< sai-.t was merely nn n?swiT to the Question propounded by our friend, niul 116 attempt to ridicule our opinionr will have a feather's weight. The "public school system as in force now ir. South Carolina seeins to ho nothing more or less than communism, and *s tti-f very pteee where restr. the germ of this alarminv: 'evil. In years tIM are gone I lie lh'groes ti-ed to vott: a local 0:1 v.ir property of from "three to five mills for the ostensible purpose t?f educating their chiiorsn at our exp?*ns<\ nnd if our negroes haw been at all bcnelitted the fact is not J>crce;>tihk\ wli'te we believe it is true that there i? not to-day among our white people as much pride in educating their Children as there was in former years. We d<> hot know if there is a large school for colored children in Aiken, but if there is, we would ask our fitcuds'of live Journal unit Ji'View if Vucli a school is not also a school of corruption well as of c lucation? We would also ask. if ttie more resneeti.b'.e of the euioiv.1 . people are not lotli to send their chi-Mren to that school ? Docs nut the assembling anu Intermingling of children of ail texes, azes, *iiul character do much to corrupt she whole? Kdu cation only m.<kcs the citizen move ci"ifcctivc for cood or evil, as he may be inclined, ond is not at alt the most needc.l thin}.'. An umine growth in education to the neglect of the morals, is an end not to be songhf, There must be a symmetry of the growth of character and intelligence to bring about a wholesome state ol aitiiirs. To produce these desirable result? it is nceessary that material prosperity and purity of character beat the foundation of the whole. It Is useless to talk about elevating tmy illiterate irers >n to the highest rariks of civilization and usefulness MIJIJ'IJ Li IK llii'K 11iv iii^tivi viauviivii ?'* ?* scholastic education. There must lie no unnatural growth of Intellect to tho neglect of the development of eharn ter. As people befome prosperous and ihrlfty they srelt to attain the desirable elevation of character as well as of intelligence. Ami if any poor boy *>r girl with good H?:?raclcr is desirous of educating himself or herself the Slate should enable him or her to enter the best of the schools at public expense, but it is no pari of the duty of the Stale to cducnte the children Of tho<c who are able to pay. Our neighbor of the Journal end Ittview ha. mounted a hobby, s>u?i we would call a halt. If he will only listen to u*. I.ct him recollect liiat ovc^-zCa'ous people are usually in the wrong. V'e are opposed to the school system of the fr'r.ic as carried out, and tha'.l to the extent o: our ability oppose glv'.ng ton lot of irresponsible people the right to eouf scale our prop fcrty for their own uses, whether it he to educate their children, to buy tliCin boots, or to enable tiiem tliein to spend tlie Summer at the ?i<rings. Columbia showed her pr?nd sr.nsc recently and acted 011 good basin's; prlnclpb-s when *Jie refused to tax bcrseli indefinitely to open free schools, that she might induce a few pauj-ers to settle in that town. If the law giving local option to thcclt'zcns of Columbia had been carried into (fleet, does anybody suppose that even an idiot would 9 have subscribed a cont to build a factory in Col"mW? " ' "r-- h lot of rapacious voter.JS? tax it five mills for their own u??; us we have been taxed in Abbeville county, under Shf theo!d l?uy? As it Is, Columbia will p:ot>ablj B^^lmildafi^U)ryxbit.will draw money ^j?rop;. bcc^S^^^^M^jjj^HPeningficesehools. Jf our friend of the Journa! and Jlevicio will allow ns todo so, wo will suggest that there is ft difference between "intolerance" mid opposition. While we arc opposed to a further , expenditure, or waste, of the public money for the purpose of relieving parents in favored communities of any ob ligation to educatc their own children, or fi>r pension.* . ing tcachcrs who may be connected with influential families, we think we have manifested no spirit of "intolerance.** Until ask . ed to do so, we had not even made exprcs*ion of opinion of a system which wc believe to be subversive of otir best inter* csts. We have every respect for the patriot' v ism and good Intentions of the Journal and Itcvicw but we would waru our f. iond of ? pofi-jblc, if not a probable, danger, which may be in store for us. It is a fact that about *". three-fourths of the voters of this state pa> nearly no ta.xe:< at all, an !, from present indi-j cations, the Democratic party hold their power in South Carolina by a very slender tenure, and unless the Itcpuhlicans by their prosecutions of Democrats lor violations of the election law, or by tome other means not now thought of, should unify and solidify the Democratic party, wo are as certain to have opposition in thenext campaign, us vre live to see that day, and without a united Democracy, defeat is certain. It is a fact which need not be denied, that there is a spirit of unrest and discontent in the Democrat Itparty. and if our friend, the Journal and Review, could imbue the impecunious citizens of the State with the belief ?'iut they should ?i6i?? wiiurwiiv \ru< UJJVI t > id 1-UUViVlV , their children, we wT. see the enormities of Kadical rule ro-nrnactcd. A "Woman Handed by a Mob in Laurens County. ' Heretofore the press has been so uniform in J their commendation, or excuse, of the disgraceful crime of executions, by infuriated iind unlawful molts, that the aim of the law lias been paralysed, and the officers of the j State rendered powcrleis tocheck a procedure t which upturnsahd setsaside the very foundation of our civilization. The habit of lynching weak and defenceless negroes in this State has^oncon constantly for several years, and Without ttjnsitre, but now we are glad to see that two or three Journals of the State have had tha manhood to denounce the recent hanging of the half-witted negro woman in " * Laurens county. The yews aiul Courier, for ; instance, even goes so fur as to denounce the deed as "murder." Tlw officers of < he State, should by all means in their power endeavor to bring the perpeiratorsof thificrime to Justice. The constable should be arrested and held to account, and i unless he Can make some showing to clear | himself of the crime he should be made to V sutler as the guilty man. If the officers of thei Ktntc are disposed to punish the perpetrators thlc orimx lln.v ran >l? an A nv r.nn ni, I. I the souse of a>j idiot. knows tnat it is u-ciess | ? to say that "unknown" parties did the deed, j If the offenders arc not already known, they j can beknown, ahtf should be known. .And il j the officers of the State do their duty they ^vill be made (o frel the force of ttint law which they hare so wantonly and so shamefully violated. The Democratic party made ^the most solemn pledge, that all the rights of the negro should be respected, and now, although we have hanged many of their men. jet us not hang all their women. The Farmers at Work. The farmers of this County, stimulated by! Iheir success of last year, arc working with ? greater energy than ever before, and but few ? of thc.-i now come to town, except on busi' ' ne?s. Although the weathe r was never more unfavorable up to this time of the season, a great deal of work has been done, and nearly everybody is ready to commence i>l?>utlng cotton, and some have already planted corn The low-laiMts, or bottoms, as a rule, have not *een plowed, but front this time forth great ,i;crgy will be directed to thci>" preparation >r the crop. In many instances th*j work of cleaning the creeks, draining land, and^clcaring it, has been pushed with unusual energy. There is already in some sections much demand for labor, and when the crops and the season aro advanced, it will be dlfllcult for many of oar planters to woi k their way out. While great quantities of provisions are being sold on liens, we think there is a growing conviction on the part of otir pluuters of the U necessity of ruising their own supplier Ahram Mar Jim This unfortunate cvntnre, who killed his ?. wife In this county on 1 he morning ot the loth of last July, without provocation or known motive, will pay the penally for his crime next Friday. He is almost idiotic and apparently has a* very faint realization of the crime which he has committed and ihe fate which awaits him. Although the act of killing bis Wife was au atrocious one, find a crime not ordinarily to be condoned, yet the higher humanity that prompts the nobler and the stronger to sympathy and leniency toward ? the weaker, cannot fall to occasion a feeling of regret at thu rigour of the law, which takes thelbeof a citizen, \\ ho is, to s.ty the least of it, of doubtful accountability. This old nc-; groe's weak mind?and none deny this fact? und the fact that he is poor and friendless, arouses that sympathy which may exist luj the heart of the living long after the body of Abratn Martin shall have mouldered iu the grave.

Once they handled no one but : murderers whom they feared might have per-j <u>nal influence enough t<> escape conviction: I then a poor year for murders havingdeprived 1 them of thHr customary sport they strung np | scoundrels who had assaulted women, n_nd j who consequently would have h?cn sitreof! convh tion.

Longstreet, Mosby and Now Malionc:; Xcw York J feral J. The fate of Southern generals, no rentier' how brilliant theirc:ir.-erduiins the war, who! have ventured since the peat-- to entertain j opinions disagreeable to their fellow citizens, ] many of whom remained at home dui ing the , conflict, is not a pleasant one. Kiist we have Longstrcet, a soldier of ap proved valor and superior tcnown, who was! srcoml to I.ee in thc-command < >1 the Army of Northern Virginia. IJognvehis blood to his j cause. Longstreit, at the close of the war he-! Ilevecl that the South could do hot ter than by following the dismal lead of liourbonlsm. l-'ioin that hour until the present he has been t denounced and renounced by the South. There was no more brilliant j<artisan lender in the South than Colonel .John S. Moshy,: l'he history of the wnrshowsthat I ?ec express-1 ed the highest admiration for Moshy's skill, energy and devotion. At the close of tlurw.tr 1 Colonel Moshy ventured to think a Virginian might do as well under republican government as under the government of the men : who brought ruin on her Ileitis and disaster; on her tircsides. From that hour to this Col- ' onel Mosby liari been an outlaw la southern j society. J And now Mnhotic! General Mnhone's rc-i cord in tlic Southern army is a part of tin; his-1 tory of the Confederacy. He began with the beginning, he fought lo the end. When the end came it found him on the side of I.ee, a ' trusted and brilliant Mil ordinate. Gcnese.! j Mahone's name was then and for some time after an emboditnet of devotion to the cause of the >?ouih. So long as he remained in sym-; pathy with the Itour'oons he was the darling | of the Southern democracy. When lie disco v- i ered that possibly there was a better way to. heels of men who had doneso much t>wound the old Commonwealth he found himself an outlaw and held up to scorn by men wl.o were j hiding in bombproof* while he wus lighting through the Wilderness. The Neuest Tempera tire Project. The most original of the many proposed laws for the suppression of Intemperance fs ihe bill now under consideration in Indiana requiring that any man desiring to drink shall take out a yearly license, price ten dollars the money to go to the support of inebriate asylums and ihe license to he cancelh d i the lirst time its holder is founddrunU. Such a law would be effective in many ways. Jn thetlrstplacc.it would distinctly draw the j line between drinkers and the non-drinking class. The church committee that might | want to know of the habits of candidates i<?r I admission, and the fatiier of marriageable | daughters who are lunch sought after by i i young men. wnu'd not have to depend upon ] hearsay instead of evidence; they could sat-' isfy themselve s fully by relcrring to the otllelal lift of license holders: The licensed ! would be compelled, in order to continue in indulgence, to devise some way of learning when they have drank enough, which is something that, up to the pre.i nt time, no i ill Inking man has ever been able to discover.1 1 Last. but not least, sta ll a law would compel ! [ a drinking man to be ten dollars ahead to! I start with?a financial condition to which I lew consumers of liquor ever attain. lVr- 1 j haps if the Inebriate were to find himself I with ten dollars In his pocket he would be' |t<mptedto make additions t/j it Instead of throwing away his money in order to lose his . : hiatus. j A New York paper says that if Southern' planters mid farmers wish to beenme more, j prosperous they should at once abandon the i pcrniclouscreditsystem. In thecoiton stales, j particularly, it Isa weighty drawback. Astlu; system is j racticed, the planter gives the meri chant a lion on his crops to begiown, and the j merchant, belnu tally secured, tarnishes the necessary supplies and lixes his <;",vn prices. The planter or fanner is thus w holly ai the mercy of the merchant and has no redress against exorbitant rates. A decision lias just been rendered by tl:osuprcmcer>urt of slppi which will allord the tarniers or that state some relief. A merchant who held a mortsuge 011 tho crops ot a farmer foreclosed it. 1 ho lower court allowed his bill against: tho farmer, although it was shown that the1 prices charged were at least the double thoj cisii late. " The supreme court on appeal, ic-1 versed the decision and affirmed that the purchaser was not in a position todecllne the purchase tin account ot the prices charged, and that he acquiesced in the prices from an overruling nec-css-liy. His extorted assent to the; prices fixed was without consideration audi was therefore" void.

One angel went ' forth with a reed, we are told, and mcnsureil | heaven on one sklc, nnil tl:en no went. iorm ; and measured heaven on the other side, and i Ilien St. John tried to titUo the census of Hint | city,and he bccameso bewildered lie give it , ! up.

Many years ; ago a clergyman stood in a New England pul- f ! pit and .-aid that he believed that the vast ma- u jfirlty of the race would tlnally be destroyed, 0 land not more than one person out of two. !i ] thou.-and persons would be tinally raved ; There happened to be about t wo thousand in- i; i habitants in the village where he pnachcd j i -n (.'xi. mvllkll ii two pui.-wnn iivuih mi.-iu.w' | ing the subject niici wondering which one oi ] i the two thousand people In t lie village would v I finally reach heaven, and one thought it would !

Again, I remark that heaven has greatly inv ' proved In the good eheer of announced victo- . ries. Whore heaven rejoiced over one soul it {' ! now rejoices over a hundred or a thousand. 'l In the olden times when theeventsof human | life were scattered over four or live centui ins 11 i of longevity, and the world moved-slowly, , there were not so many stirring events to be y'reported In heaven. If there Is any truth plainly taught in this Riblo it is that heaven , Is wrapped up In sympathy with human his- 'w ; lory, and we look at those inventions of the i day?at telegraph, at swilt communication by isteam, at all these modern improvements _ ; which seem to give onealirio-t omnipresence, and we see only the secular relation; hutspir- I its before the throne look out and see the vast and the eternal relation.
