It s?5cn?s thut tl*crc is at present a tnania for going into the Courts to seek t redress for private wrongs. This is 'something new for the people of S:nit!i 'Carolina. Wo do not recollect to have' J seen notices of as many cases being tried k in a life time, as are now pending in the Courts of the different counties of the vo'n Wn fii-r> vorv sorrv to seo tliis con ditloit of affairs in a country which lias been free from these demoralizing scenes. Vlie exposure ot the private wrongs sustained by injured persons, or the publication of private or personal sins, can only ^ have the most injurioes effect upon the public morals, while the parties most directly' interested, whether innocent or guilty, whether plaintiff or defendant, must necessarily suffer "in the public estimation. Ordinary, the private or secret sins of any individual is net sufficiently offensive to any particular outsider to warrant him in hazarding his own reputation or in subjecting his best motives to the charge of an evil intent. Even admitting the fact, which we do not hi utiy >case now before the Courts, of waywardness on the part of the accused in any instance, is thero any individual who ? -would pride himself upon the exposure of a fact that he had accidentally or otherwise couie into possession of the knowl edge of a neighbor's short-comieg? Uur Savior said, "He that is without sin ^mongyon, let Win first cast a stone"' at ^lie accused. We are glad to say that tlie v\ public sentiment is much in accord with ~--xlhe words of our Savior. The guilt of the defendant in a slander ease must be cleanly proven beforoajury will award damages. On the same principle, there wuld not bo formed a jury in some of tho counties of this State, which would convict a man for the free use of the shot gun, where a daughter's or wife's honor was involved. A man who seeks to destroy his neighbor's daughter or to alienate his wife's affection may very proper ly and safely be made h target for shot gun practice. The law of self-protection " Xvhich rales in every man's heart would save any man harmless for avenging a wrong like the ruin of a daughter or ti e alienation of a wife's aflectian . No amount of money wl.L-h a jury may .award in damages is an equivalent for *he honor of the household. In a case before Judge Withers at Abboville Court House, involving the character of a woman, a question was put to the witness on the stand, to answer which might criminate himself. Before the witness could reply, his Honor informed the witness that he need not auswer that question. The matter was Jpassed for the moment, but in a little while a similar question was asked. His Honor again put the prisoner on his gHiKd, and the question was not then an^Xvtred. A third time the -question was propounded, and the prisoner answered Criminating himself atoil reflecting upon honor of the wonrrn. The Judge in his charge to the jury said that no man who Would testify as he had ('one was worthy of belief. The jury AClVftg apon the suggestions of the Judge and assuming the highest manhood, put their seal of condemnation upon the act, and the jury by their verdict* branded that witness as a liar and a perjurer. We believe Judge Withers and the jury held the opinion that "The greatest sin between heaven and hell' Is to kiss and tell." 'Wherefore hy Their Fmits ye Shall Know Them." Would it not be a reflection on the intelligence and patriotism of ourpeoplo to destroy a college winch una developed euch men as: ~ O. G. Memminger, George McDuftie, Hugh S. Legare, Win. C.

Wyatt Aiken, find a thousand other greater or lesser light* in the State? Would it not be a blow to Christianity itself to close the iloors of ? college which had given to the Church such men as : William Capers, James H. Thornwell, James 11. Carlisle, Basil Manly, Ii. M.

Buist, and hundreds of others of the ablest and purest churchmen who have adorned their profe sion and been a blessing to mankind, ana wno.se mo xorevor remits every shade of insinuation that the college teaches infidelity. The sin of closing the South Carolina College will he more apparent, when it is remembered that tnany of the ablest and most useful ol these men came from the humblest Walks of life. Some of the most useful of the above named men, paid their tuition by ringing the college bell, some of them were beneficiaries ol the literary societies, some were this sons of poor men who were as humble as the humblest. In opposition to the South Carolina College very few names of any prominence can be found. The opponents ol the Soutli Carolina College arc, as a rule, Among those whom it was intended most to bcuefit, and, as wc believe, most need its aid. We feel that wo have a right to speakon the subject of the South Carolina College. We know the difficulties that lie in the way of those who have not had the advantage of an education, and wo would, - as far as W9 can, extend educational advantages to every boy who may be toe poor to pay. We shall therefore stand steadfast in our opposition to any proposition which lias for its object the closing of any college to tuy boy who may be seeking an education, or who may be induced to s.ek it. Society needs educated men; the Church needs educated men ; and the State needs educated men. Under our system of government a majority of the prominent men of the mUlUJl III U.?v WUIU Hum of society. The sons of the rich, with blue blood lu their veins, enjoying the privileges of society, and accepting the temptations to idleness which opulence insure*, will prevent the great majority of this class from undergoing the selfdenial which is necoesnry in performing the laborious and arduous work of solving the great problems in iffe.

Havo we Sot Had Enough! As a rule Southerners do not seek po- ] litlcal preferment by assailing the ehur- j aeter of woman. OiJinarily the South-, erner is the defender of female honor. [ Bat there seems to be an exception in the lease of .Mrs. Blaine. The yew York 'herald stigmat-ized^tho preacher who hunted up Mrs. Hatpin in hei retirement and revived the old story of her slnme, as "a gospel hyena"?the hyena being a. grave robber and hence the most loathsome of the animal kingdom. If the Herald was right in it* denunciation of that preacher, and who will say that it was not? is it not reprehensible in the chival rotjs Southron to hunt up and renew a story about a woman which had it.s criirin thirtv-ftvo vears hpto ? Is the chivalrous Southron redwood tho!ev-, el of "h hyeua ?" The extraordinary circumstance ot' a Southerner circulating evil reports, if not magnifying the l'aul.s a woman, even though her husband bo km unworthy and as untruthful am Blaine, is a maUer of remark. We have no ex -, cuse to oiler for Ulaino. We think, in ; addition to the win of corruption in ollice, lie certainly has added the greatest of all crimes, that of a lack of personal truthfulness. That untruthfulness in any one,! is believed by Southerners to be the: most debasing of crimes will be accepted as a fact without the utterance. | Why, then, should the greatest of onr i Southern newspapers continue to disre-; gard the Southern sentiment which con-; demns the defamation of a woman, even 'after her husband makes "a pitiful appoul for mercy?" While the Southern j people have as little use for lJlaiue as any ! man on the continent, yet we cannot be- j lievo that any considerable portion of our j 1 people endorse the relentless malignity J j with which the Xcira and Courier is pur-i j suing hi.s wife, and seeking to originate j j or perpetuate a slur against the memory ! of Hie deAil. | If the Democratic party can gain the! Presidential ofllce by honorable ami fail j i means it will be attained. Xo honorable I effort will be spared to gain so desirable a result as that of the placing of Cleve1 lauil and Ilendrix in the Presidential ; Chair. The country needs a change in i the administration of the Government, I and it really seems as if the election ot jour standard bearers will be an accom. plished fact, but any defamation of Mrs. j Blaine will [not improve our chances. 'The Democracy should not assail the 'character of any woman, however much we may hate or dlspise her husband. The Presidenltal Campaign. j If we are to judge ol'coming events by , the signs ot the times as seen by us, we I may safely predict a successful issue for , the national Democratic vote next elec!t ion day. The declaration of allegiance j by Taminany to the Democratic party I in the support of Cleveland toeing lbl-j ! lowed closely by another batch of the Mulligan letters by Blaino is most assuring to the Democrats and must be correspondingly depressing to the Republicans. Whether John Kelly and his followers passed their resolutions eni dorsmg and supporting Cleveland was as an act of principle on their p irt, or as a stroke of policy, moved by a desire to be on the popular side, the eToct will be the ; same on the great public mind outside ol New York. The action of Tammany we regard as of great importance and much significance. New York, wo think, is now safe for the Democracy, and this fo/.f rtlnna tvill Kn ocunnmr fit nnr ht'Afh n j ren elsewhere, and will encourage them I to greater efforts, and gsve hope to those j who may be wavering or despoueing. There can be no dcubt in the mind oi any unprejudeed citizen that Blaine is corrupt, and corrupt to sneli a degree ap to make him objectionable to thousand^ of Republicans in every pail of the North. Besides his corruption, his let ters to Fisher and his declarations which are equivalent to oaths, are so much at variance that we do not sec how they are to be reconciled with truth. It now really looks as ifthere might be a great tidal wave throughout the North which would sweep many of the Statefor Democracy, and we believe every Southern State, including West Virginia, will go solid for Cleveland and Hendricks* Put on Warm Clotliinsr. The warm weather must soon give place to changeable weather?to cool nights And \V.irm days. Let no one fail to provide against these changes by put ting on flannel at the right tune?the right time being on the approali of the chilly nights. The system is relaxed with the heat, and is now much more susceptible to the evil effects of cold than we would be in the middle of Winter. I?et no one suppose that he is making himself more robust and strong by the draft en his vital powers, to sustain a proper temperature, which is occasioned by a lack of sufficient clothing. I'ut on your flannels at the right time, and save Doctor's bill and funeral expenses. Democratic Prospocls. Capt. F. W. Dawson writes an interesting letter from New York to the JWiiw mid Courier, in which he takes a hopeful view of tho situation. Atuohg other things he saysi "Whctt the political field Is scrutinized quietly and carefully, it is evident that i tuc chances fire overwhelmingly oil Hie side of the Democracy. Tlio election of Cleveland and Hendricks is now assured, because of tho reasonable certainty of a Democratic victory in the Southern States and in New Yorkj New Jersey and Connecticut. Indiana is non-clad, and will make tip for any unexpected loss outside of New York." ? ? ? We wish our friend the Columbia Yeoman would "sort'' its matter. We liko to read its editorials and locals, hut, as a j matter of fact, wo cannot, from the tvI pography, distinguish local", news items, j and patent medicine advertisements. !
