Then tho /\ tlfJU-Sin Idi'UHiCM; nii'i announced n most aatisfa-ioi v solution of the financial trouble. I,vollov.v:?? Hint | H talk rame whispers of the probable sal.-; \ |B of the A. and K. It. R. t<? tiir> Clyde*, to the S. C. R. R., and to t!-.o Georgia Con-1 tral, with the merest hint that other bid-| Ha den were in t!:o field lor this valuable H property in which our people feel so MB lnuch interest. The ('hr,?nicl>i awl S--n'iH *nd continued to give a most cheerful a<; fount of matters. Jf it did n >1 say so in j words, it led sono o}" its real-Ms to Iie- i H lieve that the stockholders of the A. it Iv. | HT 2v. R. were master of tiio situation and j K could demand a rental which would notj K- -=ojily pay interest on the bonds, but leave I n. largo balance with which to declare I B divid. nds to the stockholders. Most j m cheering indefd did all this?eem. B The financial trouble occasioned bv the! B failure to pay the January interoit was; B relieved by borrowing money from one; B of the banks in Augusta on the deposite ; of bonds or other security for the inmcy, j ^^H^feh^iout eleven thousand dollar? of t!i it remained unpud, a few day ??">? MB earnings of the road not bein^ sulfi-j HHKnt to re-imb.trsfi the bank. The ^^^^^^Knt that the Ueornia Centra' olftiedt> BfliKc nn annual rental sullicient to pav f,, ,Iii,I :il<1 : rx uu UtMtU -t v- - ,. v. to\tockholders seems to be an error. As I wo 'understand it, that road only offered i to {.ay interest on tho bonded debt. Tho! offers from the Plydos, and the South! 'Carolina R:uIroaJ, if in a definite shape! at all, were not more favorable. As we' understand the situation, tlio offer of thej Georgia Central Railroad, (which controls j the P^rt Royal Railroad,) was rejected I 1 partly because of a syndicate in! Augusta which was organized to buy the; stock of il* road belonging to the State! of South Carolina. As our readers may I recollect, there was a time in tho recent ' past when the stock of this road, which then existed principally oil paper, wont tip to fabulous figures. The State of South Carolina at that time had $l">.flyO of the stock, which hid heen issued to J the Suite in payment for the services of! the convicts in grading tho road. This syndicate in Augusta was Finned and bought the State sto-*k paying SI cents on j the dollar, or about ?l~,0)0 for the whole! block. If the otfer of* tho Georgia Ceniral Railroad had been accepted, "the money which the purchasers paid for the Btoek of the Stato of S<>:ith Carolina j would havo been lost with the money oi'j tlii? other stork holders. The bank in Augusta Ftill holds the, coupons of tho bonds which they havej taken up. If they are not paid within ! tho ninety days of jjraee, the sf>ekholders may take im mod into possession of the; road, without tho intervention of a re- i ceiver. In that event tho bondholders of Ibe road will most Iik< ly transfer the road,' by lease, to the Georgia Central Railroad, j when tho A. it 1C. R. R. will b< run in I connection with the Port Royal Railroad, j and also with the road running to S.ivan- j nah. j The officers and directors of the road ; havo strained every nerve,and have done; as well as human wisdom could contrive j under the circumstances. This company, i like many other now railroad companies, j expended all their money in the construe- j tion of the road, and no s :ill ran run a' road successfully without a snHi-i'-ncy j ?f C!\r4 tinrl murines. No blame a! all can | bo attached to cither the officers or the directors, for they havo don? more th::ii! eould be reasonably expected of them.; The only wonder to us is, that they fin-! ished the road bed with the limited moans! ?t their command. If the chaipro should take place and the; A. <fc K. P.. R. becomes a part of the <?eorcia Central systom, we think onrj people need have no fears. The changej of ownership will not direct tho public at j lar;;e?the stockholders bein<c the onlyu leasers to the amount of their stock. A j' majority of the bonds are owned in An-,' gnsta, and our pe >ple may rest assured i< nothing will bo done in any event, which i j will injure us or hurt thecity of Augusta, j 11 The Outrageous Conduct of the Rp- m publican OQi-iala. j J I i If the people of South Carolina necedotl j i any further proof of the vileniws andj! v;icl;edne<s of the Green hackers and the;" Republicans of State, that proof is ]| l>eing daily furnished. Tho rem ade J1 Republicans of this State havo the car of! | the United States Courts, and those im- j .j scrupulous politicians by forming a ironspiracy with deluded negroes and perjured Greenbaekers, seem determined to!-] worry and harass the white people of this '1 State to a degree almost beyond endurance. When our people Are so outraged i they should pledge anew their faith to the j < Democratic party, ami swear eternal j t enmity and hatred to every deserter from our ranks. Tho wicked men who are using: f the United S'ates Courts and their duped ! * followers in the vain effort to break up v Xhe Democratic party, and to (oist them-1* Helves upon the people of South Carolina, r are not more wicked than they are foolish.! * South Carolinians will not again bend '< their necks to tho yoke for Melton and ' tyjRard ; nor will they yioli up tlie j I government and the purse-strinus to Mr- ' Lane and his dirty followers. The very names of McLatie and his followars; j fit ink in the nostrials of decent people, 1 j 3tnd bcforo that crowd should again ruleji this State, the patriotic impulse and the 1 j strong arm of our people, would render j * such an event a physical impossibility. J To turn over the government to tho j i wicked crew that are now attempting to j' bring tho decent people of South Carolina j i into disrepute, would be little less than ', high treason. |^ 4 Beggars Again. j Our article last week on the beggar;' iinisance prompted vaiionsof our friends j to ask us why we did not include in that j article some words in refcrenco to the | petitions for money which are constantly \ presented to our citizens for the relief of j those who may havo been unfortnnato in j the loss of property. We did not speak ; of this particular draft on tho charity of i the people of this village, because wo did i not care to bo offensive in our remarks' j and because our own unfortunate i people, as a rulo, are ton thousand times ! more worthy than these professional j beggars, who go all over the country, I proclaiming their appeals to charity. We j have long ago, as an individual, deter-j T?inm] that the petitions to raise! money to relieve any particular citizen j from loss is objectionable and for this; reason wo have not given one of them a cent for a long time. Wo have for; years read tlie names of subscribers to j the reliel of unfortunate persons, and j very often tlio contributors have, in I our opinion, been poorer and more needy | than the person for whose benefit the sub- ?' cription was made. No man fins a moral i right to give awuy his money until he can j pay his own debts. Very often the bearers j of these petitions may be said to have the | cheek of a "government mule," and will ( take no polite refusal, but will, bv appeal j or intimidation, foree gifts from nn-j willing contributors, for tbo benefit of j! persons who would feel iudjynant if tlicy i knew the facts as they exist. The EdgeQeld Monitor. Our friend the Edgefield Monitor endorses all that we said a week or two ngo about advertising patent medicines ' but that paper is iuclined to think ' wo are inconsistent in that wo allow the advertisements of the these frauds to ap- ' pear on our patent outside. In one respect our neighbor's point is well taken, bat we tbhik we have to s..me extent ex- i ?narated oursolves fron: i>ame by pub- \ , fiabipg Mie fact, time aud o$;<in, that the ? first and fourth pages of our paper were i printed in New York. Wo <yiee with j the Jfonitor in the main, however, and think that its suggestion to exoludo all advertisements from trie patent outside a good one, and one which we hope to adopt some day in tlio future. We cannot well aQord to do so now, but hope to do so within the next twelvo months. Siiuti wo have been publishing so much muling irinttcr the people pay much more promptly,and for this reason we feel that wo will 1 ?e nothing l?y adding two or tin ee col tuns of interesting matter to our outside. JlcitiUg of I!:o Mleeciors of the A. & I K. It. Ii. [ In another part of this paper will hr | found t!io minutes of tho recent meot In# in An^tiMu, <>i me PinTion u. the A. A: K. R. II. Our peoplo an much interested iti tli.it railway, ami they feel anxious if ehantre of ownership sh >tiid c nne, that the interests ofthepeo| pie of this section may not suffer. The I proprietors, the aiiiho-s and finishers, ol ! this ml performed iittlo le?s than a | miracle in putting the eavsrin this track, land it seems lo he a f-rcat pity that this vaitinl'le property should so socn p-iss out of the hands of those v ho have worked so faithfully, and paid their ! money so li!?cr:?ilv, for th<; puliiic good. [ Tlie road is in need of money to huv the necessary cr.irinos and ears, an 1 without which tiie best financial results cannot he ; achieved. From the proceedings, to which reference has heen had, it will ho 'seen that some ch-inse is most likely to occur. But whether it comes or not. the workers and contributors to the building of this road, have erected to their honor a great monument, while proving themselves to tie Abbeville's greatest bonefactors. The I.est Labor. We havespen much in tho newspapers at>out tho best laborers?sonio preferring tho ( oriinn, soinc preferring the Negro, while others wanted "white labor" of any sort. And tho cry lias boon too common about tho worthlessness [of tho "labor" with which tho country is supplied. In our opinion, there is a kind of labor which, if it could be utilized, would be better and cheaper than any of which we liavo heard mention?we mean selflabor. Let our own white loafers go to work. As long as a poor but proud white man rents land, gives s lien, ami then sets on the fence while a trilling negro plows his horse, wo need not expect to hear anything else than that tho "labor" of the County is demoralized, and not worth acont.

But whether regarded ft* means toanend-j or as an end In Itself. the cultivation and dis' clpiine ot all of our faculties, is the proper end of a Uber?riducatlon, and the Hot and essential condition of lasting success in the business of life. We are composite bellies made up of faculties, intellectual and mor.'l. According to theclasslfbatioit of .Sir William Hamilton, the first or the intellectual divided Into ilie i>ie-eniMti\r, or peiccptlon, external ami int<'inal, the retcntheor me ory. the reproductive or recollection and sustention, tlie representative or Imaulnmlon, the elahoriitlve or concept ion, Judgment and reasoning, and the regulative which furnish the laws and conditions ol thought; the second or moral,divided Into the emotions. feciluusaud desires. Now upon the proper discipline and due subordination of nil these faculties. r?st the successful search and pioper prosecution of any undertaking. THE UNDUE ASCENDANCY OK THE EMOTIONAL The undue ascendancy of the emotional over the intellectual faculties, or or anyone of tho latter anions themselves, are fruitful sources of error. The sway of passion, pride nnd prejudice, the undue Influence of selflove. the operations of hope, fear and pity, obscure the serene atmosphere of truth, and banish that "dry light" of reason, Which According to Bacon, cau alone Illumine the path of philosophy.

To say that II. is a parable la to change at nneo ihe whole standpoint from which we look at it. ami the j whole met hod of Interpreting it.

Is nnt designed to he itself the niiject. of inspection, but some in'erlor tlfou -ht or feeling or seen" of which Ihis |? merely the external instrument, then our point of view Is very much changed. The whole of IIIi> i")fi chapter of Mat thew Is a bracelet of imrab'e. What isa parable? It Is Ihe most minimized form of a novel. Ills tnere'y a picture In words. It consMs of an inleilor Idea?generally one slmn'e idea? I but that Idea set home by then-oof onrsensps | upon the material from which it is completed. U'e wrltf> tnti-e for chililren to llicllloate the notion of obedience or the idea of kindness, as whcnachlld goes into the foic^t, and is careless an>I hateful, nod moots a old woman panting under ilie burden of her bundle of sticks, and Is asked to help her. and scotf-,:inil turns away, and goes o'l, and l>y and i>y is bewildered and bewitched, so that every lime she lrle< lo speak, out Jumps a toad from her mouth : or, as when a good little t-lrl, going, afterward, and heho'ding the old woman, and helnsrlavked to help her. sp? aks very sweetly and'kindly, and h?|p* her.and wants todlvlde her piece o( liread with her, the consequence hoi 11 vr that when she goes awa.v, every time she speaks out jumps from lu-r mouth a ring of prtre gold Now the story slicks, too often, more tlian the mural doe-!, in the minds of children; hut yon see exactly what the little fabulous history was meant to do: It was want to convey ti'i Idea or seltlshne-s and Indlll'erenee to men, and an Idea of swe-tness and service, with the corresponding rant that thooneand tiieo'her hear different kindsof Inilt; that rliht haslls rcmuneMttons. and wrong has Us tcvenge, upon !' c persons doing them?and we understand this. Now, our Master pursues that style of teachin'.', as every one must who undertakes to translate -upcrlor truths Into forms which can be understood hy an Inferior cla-s. Von cannot tieat of the Invisible and splil'ual without incarnating II In some shape; hut a m?re incarnation of philosophical words Is no Incarnation at all; drani'ille incarnation may amount to a ureal- deal. First, it helps the memory: and the memory helnsthe lin-iginution : ami the Imagination helps the reason; and the reason helps the heart, which is tite focus of lift*. In I lie llrst part of Mils 2'dh chapter of Matthew's uosi'Cl we hiivc il?o parable or ihe virgins? the wl?e and tho foolish.

N<-xt comes the parable of n man traveling into ii far country, delivering hi- Rood- to IiIh 8- r\ants. and lioldin; 1111*111 lespomlbt; for their Increase. Hi- returns afn-r a time, mid Munitions one mid mioih'-ramlaiiother before him. Thus is set fo-ih the docirineof our responsibility lor developm. nt. fni-rdm atlon. for Inemislng all the ?;ift-s which God has granted 10 us. Nobody ever founds a doctrine on that, taking thi tramework of the pirabieas If 11 were a history of di?'actic ilci-iaratlon. I'lrablcs are like (loner*. The fragrance Is that in them which we qua IF. We do not use them j as material for exact history or exact phiioso-1 pli.v In tills parable of the traveling master u ho calls to account his servant?, we find set I forth, as ll respects men slmpie fidelity in the discharge of dulb s Mint, a re i>n-umlient; and as It respects man or God, fidelitv In 'lie development, of our whole moral character. When we have that Idea, we have ill? marrow of the parable. AOW comes me paranic ni our ie.\i. nncj we tlnd Interpreters chanu'ln-.; at nun'; and they arc suyliisr, "This is the historical ae- j count, with some embellish incuts, of ihe la-t treat Jink-incut." It may he or It may not he. 11 is a parable. It Ik a picture constructed tor certain ureal ends. which ends I shall i tlcmpt | to develop before you. A great many times It.

It hiis some such elements; and has some elements that are not of these kinds.
