January Olli, 1SS:?. , . Free Education. i Thnt there should ho differences ofi opinion as tn how much money should he spent In pubiic education is perfectly nat-r Ural. While wo think tho State of South ; Carolina is already spending umre th:m k ought in this way, yet there arc other men, possessing better education than we do, and being much more patriotic: than \ve are, would levy a much higher tax on ' the thrift and industry of this eountrv to educate the children of the State at public expense. There are stiil another class of people who are even more liberal with ntlier people's money, than those who would oppress our people with taxes. They would sell the public lands to in-1 Vest the proceeds in education for the! darkey, Tlioy scoiu to think that freeed-j million would cure all of our ilis, and tnake all classes of people moral and upright citizens, while we are perfectly certain that education does not effect the morals in the least. It only enables tlie bad man to be a more dangerous citizen, while it fits tho good man for higher ileitis of usefulness. The education of tho citizen is not an unmixed blessing to tho country. If t!io character of thej ^ man can be determined, then it is easy! enough to determine whether ho ought to ; be educated. When the State educates a citizen it puts into his hands a power ' which may be used fur good or lor evil.. It is not everj* educated man who is a ' good eitizen. i We believe the State of South Carolina is doing her whole duty in the matter of( education, and we shall oppose the con-] Jiscation of the property ol the country! for tho education of other people's ehil- j dren. A Cultwred Lunatic.?A V/orlhv Edit-; or's Lamentable Condition. Tho readers of tho Register we are con - j vinced, must believe that the mind of its! '"- J-Mwtiiivil.lft nrlitrn- bOOH Illldcr-J mined, and that ho is now in a hopeless; state of lunacy. Wo have thought that, vo noticed the periodic signs of this! rnnrfiii riicpA^G for more than a voar. bull on the principle that we should not refer! to a man's physical or mental infirmities j wo have herotofi/re refrained from anvj liU'iil'nn of a circumstance which must' be patent to every reader ol l he Uryistcr, i ns well as most ptinful to the personal | friends of that gentleman. Ileing an in- j ccssant worker, and exceedingly patriot-! ic, he has given whatever time he could;, sparefrom the Columbia Canal, to eJl'orlsj 4o c>wvincc t!ie public that ho was a born , .gentleman, and that others were not, and , th-it his high breeding exonerated him; from the necessity of observing the ordi-jj nary rulc3 of decency which govern gen-: tlemen in their intercourse with their fel- . lowmrn. All this seemed too much for a weak mind, and wo fear that his reason has given way, and that .softeningof the; brain is threatened, if it has not already commenced.

H ,: Tt may he a little wicked in us, hut we i really do not sympathise with Anderson , in tlio Railroad matters referred to below. J Anderson hnd received Diore benelit j from (he now Railroad management than any other place, hut notwithstanding this. i fact, her representatives in tho Logislatare turned their iulluenee against this i corporation. Read what the Intclliycnccr j J now says: |? "Tho now schedule on the Tlr.e Ridge [ Division of the (.'olumhia and (Jrecnville .1 railroad, by which the freight and pas- j > o,..,,,,.,. Iinin.' Ul'n I././.II I..1I1 jf.lifljlfp.!. is ? wilgwt ..?,w the most wanton an 1 inexcitsubio exer-1. v cise of malicious power that has ever : ^ been exercised by any railroad corporation in this Slate. It cannot bo jnsliiied ? by any of the reasons assigned for it. i' ? There is and has been tor sonic time past ( more travel on this line than on 111 c: j Greenville line above Helton, and the, I '* freights have been and now aie very,1 KOod?inorc than can be properly carried j; )i? connection with the passenger train. c The accoinniodati' n train has licen en- t tirely discontinue*!. This is a great iin-1? position upon the travelling public and } calls for the interference of our Rnilroad l {, Cum mission. Tiie travelling facilities! c . now afforded on this line are not worth 1 more than two cents a mile, and the rate e otinht to be so iixcl. As soon as the J, Legislature meets, we hopo to Heo tlx<;; Kail road i:uv still further amended, so as' i to forbid the running of freight ears on j i passenger trains, and thus reach thej" trouble. It is simply an outrage without i ? justification. * |.; Peculiarity of Royalty. j) % seems that tl'O royal party who re-' s cently visited Charleston were not prodi- J1 gal with their money, in the matter of ' paying tlieir bills f<?r aecouimodations.lt Wo saw a statement some time ago that ij r they regarded the railroad charges for!? their extra accommodation^ as excessive,! and now the owm-rof tho tugs that cs- | corted 11. M. S. Dido into port and out of i port had to reduce his charge to half the/ usual charges for such work, and even< the cut-down bill for one of the tugs was * not paid at all because the Hritish Captain 1 for whom the work was done besmeared ? it in approving it. The Charlotte Ob*er- j ? vcrsavs: r It is now sta.tml that the Princess Louise! niid the Marquis of Lome did not pay! <onr city the contemplated visit 011 ae-j count of a pecuniary consideration.: 1 They feared that our hotels would charge J them too much and so concluded to go di- j rect to Charleston and sa\ 0 the expense j of stopping, but whether or not they 1 saved anything by skipping Cijudollo is :i question that is not yet settled to tiiuj satisfaction of the viec-re^al party, i Charleston stuck it to them heavy, and it was reported that their hotel bill at that J nlace was $1,000. This report was slight- 1 ly exaggerated, and tlie truth of the mat- 1 *V. ter is that the entire bill of the party, in-|? . ^??. ? eluding carriage hire, cash advanees ami i J >' everything else, amounted to the modest; j sum of ?703, which the Marquis of Lome j 1 &ettled by a check on the Dank of Ottawa.1 f Tlic A. & K. R. If. !j From an artiele in another column, j' taken from the Augusta C/troniclc and < {JonxtitulionnUxt, it will be seen that there ! ^ r 1:. i.;.w. ? ! IS a possibility <11 i rail lino from Greenwood to Port Royal, J by the lease of the A. & K. Road to tho i Port Royal Road. This is a constimma- ' tion dovontly to be wished. It seems to i lis that this would he the best possible ( disposition of tho A. ?fc K. Road. By ' having the two roads under one manage- | nient, we would then be in direct com- j jnunication with deep water by a route ;i about ninety miles nearer than we are at J present. Port Royal, it seems to us, is j our natural outlet to the sea and we hope to seo the Port Royal and tho Augusta; and Knoxville Railroads made one con -1 tinuous road, under the same manage-' ment. We are bound to be put in communication with Port Royal sooner or| later, and the sooner the arrangement is ! cfl'ceted, the better it will be for every- j body. i j | I Mr. Titos. 0. Taooatit of our county, J who had his arm crushed between cars on tho C. it G. road some two months j ago, has resumed ins oiu position as cuii-; ductor on tho main line. We are glad to J note his entire recovery, and that the I road did him tho justice to hold his plnre ' for him. The company kept his name on ; the pay roll dining his unlitness for sor- ji vice, and otherwise treated him in a con- ! siderate manner. Our Railroad is not < ' , | I only an efficient public servant, but is; j just and generous to its faithful employ-jj ees. i |i Conrt. !, Owing lo the sickness of Judge Wal- i' lace no Court has been held here this ( week.

It \v;is acknowledged as an auspicious onion to their future de?tiny that the clouds on their wedding day should have hurst the tenement of jrlooni end shone' forth in fair and fulwnt brightness on 1 the day of their marriajje, to show as if it were the benediction of heaven 0:1 the; happv and newlv trarried couple. It is onr sincere trir?t that this may lie their portion, and that their future skv of hap-j pincss may remain unditnmed i>\* a sin-] ale speek of trouhie or tribulation dnr- { inir their lives. May heaven showor it5* choicest blessings upon them, and mav j thev ever draw tho best irifts from the haiids of blind rintus.

For our own part, { we have heretofore resisted the subtle-1 ties and softness of the penile sex, but; the very fascinating, winnimr. and: eharminrr ways of some of the Augusta; fair sex have about induced us to strike; our colors, and this reference, wo are sure, will apply to some of our Abbeville j friends in conjunction with the young la- j dies from Washington. Klbcrton, IJeeeh i Island, and Augusta. We sinscrelv hope J that th;s?uniting of Georgia and South | Carolina may not be ultimate, and that' the fair maidens of Georgia may smile, approvingly on the addresses of some of; their South Carolina swains. The young gentlemen have a decided; pmc/i'tnt for Washington and Broad j street, Augusta, and tlieir destinies do- ] pond upon the favor and affection they revive in this direction.

Preparing Cotlcn for Marhef. Now that, the country is full of labor-saving nachiues for cleaning and preparing cotton or market, there is but little if any excuse or iicglt ct in this particular by our cotton planters. Good, clean cotton always coinimndsa better price than the staple that is urelessly picked, ginned and pack'd. The [tlnnt'1 C'His'itu/iiiii well says on this subject, bat one of the problems ttiat are vexing the* lotton-p'iintcrs of the South is the necessity j if Having to the pro'luccrat least n reasonable 1 Hire of the profits that now go Into thepock- j ts of middle-men, In the shape of coiiinibInns. waichouse charges, and tlienumberless eductions and deductions that now to to the are a> count There is no doubt that a great mprovemcut can be made in liie present ?yseni of marketing; but*the great trouble lies n the pi Imitive processes that arc still relied I o !>> the farmer, isolation has heretofore!1 md a (rood deal to do with preventing the ini-1J irovenient ol these proc esses, but in this age j if railroail development, there is no longer i' ,ny Isolation. New York and Liverpool arcj< is near to the planters of, say IJutls county,]! s Augusta used to be. ' In spite, however, of the vast Improvement! n the methods and facilities of trnnsportu- 1 ion, the farmers still cling for the most part P o the methods of cultivation and prepara-| ion Unit were in vogue when their grand-j j niters wagoned tneir cotton to Atuusla. M iome of the verterans still have wonderful I1 lories to tell of those days when a hundred ' tains would travel together.Jaini of the star- < It nights given over to fun and fiddling when i hey pitch their camps.

Fortunately the spirit of progress has hanged all that, but this same spirit has not urn as actively at work upon the plantations tid lor us.

Our opinion Is that In this carelessness audi u tiiislackof knowledge lies the secret of the n allure of so many to make cotton-planting I iro.'ltnble lu Itseif and of itself. The poorest 01 ton. carefully ginned and packed with an ye to its chissitie^itiou, will bring a cent more; 11 the pound than the same cotton carelessly r lid igiioruntly handled, and tl.e best grades] i nopeily prepared?tbet Is to say, carefully ; ,'inned and packed with an eye to their class]-1' leal ion In the warehouse?would bring from t cent to a cent ami a half moreu pound than | lie planters now realize upon it.

[Rurlinyton Hiiickcyr.] Occasionally you see a man order tripe at a hotel, hut he always looks hard, as though he hated himself and everybody else. He ti les to look as though he enjoyed it, hut lie does not. Tripe is indigestible, and looks like an Indiarubber apron for a child to sit on. When it is pickle it looks like dirty clothes puttosoak, and when it is cooking it looks as though the cook was boiling a dish-cloth. On the tabic it looks like glue and tastes like a piece of oil silk umbreiiacover. A stomach tliat'snotllncd with fumigated iron would be turned wrong side out by the smell of tripe. A man eating at a hotel table looks like an Arctic explorer dining on his hoots or chewing a piece ol 1IO/.CI1 UllJJ, 1(111 lillllllil. limn ill it IJIIIII vuung tripe but he will bli^li and look as though he wanted lo apologize and convince you he was takihglttoioucuphi.ssystcm. A woman never cats tri|?'. There is not money enough In the world to hire a woman to taken corner of ft sheet of tripe In her teeth ftiulto pull oil'a piece. '1 hose who eat tripe are men who have had their sinmach* pu'.y mean tricks on thein.and they cat tripe to get even with their stomach, and then they eo and take aTurklsh hath to sweat it out of the system. Tiipe is a superstition handed down from a former geuerartlon of butchers, who sold all the meat and kept the tripe for themselves and the dogs; but tin- do;:s of the present day wilt not cat tripe. You throw a piece of tripe down in front of a dog and sec if lie does not put. his t ii i between his legs and go oil' and hate you. Tripe may have a value, but It Is not food. It may he good to till in a burglar proof safe, with the cement and chilled* steel, or it. may answer to use as a hnasip'ate In the times of war, or it would be good to use for bumpers between cars, or It would make a good face for the weight ol a pile driver, but when you come tosmugglc It into thestomach you do wrong. Tripe! Dab! A piece of Turkish towel cooked In axlegreisc would be pie compared wl'h tripe. The Abbeville Press and Banner. Col. II. T.
