{From the Charlotte Democrat.] Carolina Military Institute. The semi-annual exhibition of the Carolina Military Institute in this city, has just closed. The writer had the pleasure of attending the closing exercises by the first and second classes on Friday night last. The occasion afforded an intellectual treat to all present. The young gentleLnen ac quitted themselves in a degree highly creditable. Their manner, self-posses sion, style, elocution, with the subject matter of their addresses, reflected great credit on Col. Thomas and his able Faculty, and very great honor upon the young gentlemen themselves. The speeehes were remarkably well composed, happily delivered and more original than we generally have on such occasions. Without dealing so much in the classics, with the renown of ancient Greece and Rome and their departed glories, the addresses were essentially practical, discussing mod ern issues, and very entertaining to the intelligent audience assembled. They. certainly reflected upon the Faculty thorough training, both intel lectual and moral. These young gen tlemen are . often on our streets and conduct themselves with the highest propriety and decorum. No one of them has ever been before any court in Charlotte, or ever known, to give any offence to 'a citizen-an evil so often complained of in other literary and military institutions. The writer knows no institution of learning in which higher morality and greater propriety of deportment pre vail. This is doubtless owing very much to the large experience of Col. Thomas, the Superintendent, and his elevated moral bearing and example illustrated through life. In his Insti tution he has just enough of the mili tary drill and organization to give physical exercise and development to the body, while the intellect and mor als are thoroughly educated. Having been a Professor in the Citadel in Charleston and the Arsenal in Colum bia, his qualifications are well attested by many of the clever young- gentle men of South Carolina following him to Oharlotte.. Indeed his chief sup port has come from that State. Char lotte and the surrounding country seem hardly to have appreciated the benefits and blessings of an institution of high order which Col. Thomas has established in our midst. With great * energy, indefatigable labor, almost "solitary and alone," he has organized and maintained an institution of which Charlotte may well boast of furnishing the blest educational advantages to the youth of our country. The Institute is flourishing. growing in numbers and popularity, and is destined to diffuse its blessings to the present and future generations. It deserves the cordial support and patronage of all lovers of physical, moral and intellectual cul ture. -EDUCATION. Record Your Contracts and Save Rent. We have been often asked, why it is that the owner of lands cannot get * his rent. We say there is nothing to prevent his getting his pay, or his share of the crop. It is only necessa ry to reduce your contracts to writing and record the same at once with the clerk of the court, and you will get * your money, and we give as our au thority the following act : An act for the better protection of land owners, and persons renting land to others, for agricultural purposes, and to amend acts relating thereto. * That in all cases where land is rent ed either for a share 'of the crop, or for a stipulated sum in money, or for so much cotton, corn, or other product of the soil, the land so rented shall be *deemed and taken to be an advance for agricultural purposes; and the land Sowner 'upon reducing the contract of letting to writing, and recording the same, as provided in the lien law. sec tion 55, chapter 30, (that is recording the 'same within thirty days from the *date of contract,) shall have a lien on the crop, which may be made during the year upon the land, in preference to all other liens existing or otherwise, to an amount not exceeding one-third * of the entire crop so produced, and to be applied to the satisfaction of the rent stipulated to be paid. In such cases the landlord,.shall have all the rights accorded to persons advancing any other supplies, as pro vided in asetions 55 and 56 of the same chapter, to the extent of one third of the crop as above stated. This law does not apply to contracts made prior to March 19, 1874, but to all contracts since that time. It will not do to make verbal con tracts: they must be made in writing and recorded, or the liens will take preference, and the land owners fail to get their rent. You may be able-to prove your con tract and the parties renting may ad mit the contract, but you must not de pend on this. Write it out and record - it, and your claim has preference over any other claim. [Spartanbury Herald. Judge Bryan has made the follow 'ing decision in the case of the Blue Ridge Railroad Company. bankrupt : It is ordered that R. K. Scott, the purchaser of the property sold under the order of the court on the 22d Oc tober, 1874, do forthwith pay into the court the cash portion of his bid upon the said sale, to-wit ; The sum of thirty-six thousand and fifty dollars, ($36,050) and that thereupon the clerk of the court, after deducting the cosbr of-sale heretofore ordered, to be ascertained by J. E. Hagood, do pay over the same to the bondholders un der the deed of trust or mortgage of the 26th April, 1834. GEORGE S. BRYAN, Th, celot THOS, F. GRENEKER, EDITOR, 1 f t NEWBERRY, S. C.

A large meeting was held last Mon- i day under the call of Y. J. Pope, Esq., appointed by the Democratic d Executive Committee to organize the t party in this County. The proceed- t ings of the meeting and the resolutions f offered by Mr. Pope-which were t passed without much discussion-will t be seen in another column. The reso lution proposed by Mr. J. F. Caldwell r to "hereby endorse the action of Gov .ernor Chamberlain" was the only one c which solicited warm discussion, but a was finally passed by a very large t majority. A goodly number of color- I ed citizens were present, who seemed t to follow the speecbes with great at- a tention, as well they might; for they E are as deeply interested aa.the whites t in the result of the movement. The g spirit of the vast majority of the peo ple present was conciliatory although t determined, and the colored people r were made to feel that their rights t would be safe in the hands of the e Democracy. A strong and happy im- s pulse has thus been given to the re- r form movement in this County. It a behooves every one now honestly to I exert himself to carry it on until it overspreads the land. With su,h ex- 1 ertion we hope to succeed in purify- i ing the political atmosphere and in j securing good government before the end of this Centennial year. The Eastern Question. It was very pleasant in days of yore to sit by a comfortable fire and read of wars and battles in far off countries, and feel that nothing of the. kind could have any possible connexion with the peace and well doing of the reader. At this time affairs are wonderfully ~ changed; all the nations of the earth are cemented together, and a war in Turkey does affect the price of cotton C we sell and of the food we buy. The p whole world is fast becoming one or-I ganic body ; a burn of a finger is felt' t4hrough the whole body, and convey- I ed with the speed of lightning by the telegraphic nerves which run through the smallest part of the organism. A great war-and we hope the, last-is p impending in Europe. Turkey is the g name of a country, not of a people. si Two-thirds of the population are a Greeks, Armenians and other nation- 0 alities who profess the Christian fgith. The Turk holds these Christians subject ti to his power by title of conquest and r no other. He is an intruder in Eu rope, and his ejection has been pre vented .only by the jealousy of the powers who expect to get a slice of F Turkey, and who want each to get the best and largest portion. The solution b of the question cannot be longer post poned. Russia thinks that her time n has come and she will act. A Peters burg correspondent of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, seems confident that a coalition between Russia, France and Austria has been arranged to di- 0 vide the estate of the dying Turk, and 1 that they will have to encounter Ger many and England in the fight. He h calculates the chances of success on i each side. He gives the Germans ta credit for a fighting force of two mil- et lions men, splendid equipments, the ci prestige of victory and able command- ti era; but it insists that the coalition can muster from three to four mil-h lions of soldiers and must finally pre vail against Germany and England. t The English navy is, of course, pre sumed to keep the sea clear and to have ample and safe opportunities ofh conveying such force as they may be able to furnish. There is one thing, however, which the correspondentC does not consider, which is the comnpo sition of the Austrian Empire. There s are fourteen millions of Germans who pe formerly governed the realm. Vienna D is a German city. This German eleG met is losing its influence in the re- c constructeaI empire, which is now call- B: ed the Austro-Hungarian empire. th Hungarians are the governing element; the centre of gravitation is Perth not re Vienna; all the sympathies of the German-Austrian provinces are with g the new German Empire. In case of N< a wa,- n,~ A4~111~ +b.~ +~L.ac,a ni nan speakiug population of Europe vill be united into one empire, which ieing in the centre of Europe will ,overn its policy; and we predict that n less than ten years Germany will tave a Republican Government which vill compel the whole of Europe to ollow its example. No republic can e stable unless that central power is tepublican. It is to be hoped that he change of affairs in Europe may e brought about peacefully, and we s a nation should exert our moral in uence to that effect ; but if there is o be a final war it will be the might est and most destructive that the.. rorld has ever seen. Let us hope hat the spirit of civilization will pre. ail and peace be maintained. Legislative. The committee appointed to look rito Leslie's connexion with the Land Jonmission are peeping a little too leep for Leslie's comfort. Leslie con ended that they were going beyond he limit of their instructions and re used to be sworn. The Speaker sus ained the committee in their opinion hat they were appointed * for the pur >oses of investigating all matters con iected with the Land commission. [he committee consists now of Chan ellor Johnson, and Messrs. Aldrich nd Orr, the last having been substi uted for General Wallace, who will >e necessarily absent. Rare develop nents may be expected. The Senate ppointed a committee consisting of enators Jeter and Donaldson to assist he House committee in the investi ation. The majority of the Legislature are rying their best to take the appoint nent of managers out of the hand of he Governor and arrange so that they an'.have control of the election. If uch a bill should pass a veto message uay be looked for. Since writing the bove we find that the bill was killed y a vote of 56 to 40. Mr. Cooper has raised a fiery debate y his proposition to have Whipper's famious speech expunged from the ournal of the House. We coincide rith the Columbia Register to let it tand. It is a fitting monument for iim, and in the right place. The Governor delivered a long and orcible speech to the committee of ays and means, who were consider ng the tax levy for the next fiscal ear. He convinced themi finally that * mills should be substituted for 10, rhich the commaittee thought neces ary. The committee will prepare a ill in accordance with the recommien ation of the Governor. The items f the tax are as follows: aaries................. 910 mills. ablic institutions.......... 11-13" ablic schools.............1 " egislative expenses........ 2 ablic printing........... - -terest on public debt...... 2" ~eficiencies.............. 45 " onanza claims.......... 1 ". Total.............. 8 " This is an especially bad time to ass an usury law-if there is any ood time at all for the passage of xchi a law. It is not likely that it 'ill go through all the necessary stages f legislation at this session. In the Senate a bill for the preven on of cruelty to animals was recomn iitted. Editorial Review.

Martinez Cam se is marching upon Elasindo, in rthern Navarre, and will attack that ice to.rnorrw. The Clinton Orphanage. "Our Monthly" gives a cheering account of the Orphauage in its last issue, which we are pleased to copy: We are ghd to report that during the past month the Orphanage has improved in efficiency. and is doing good work in all of its departments. In the school-room are seventeen pupils, under the guiding hand of Miss Whitherspoon, a lady every way com petent for this work. The children are iliproving rapidly in their studies. Two boys are in the printing office, and this issue of Oitr Monthly is their work. They never touched type before, and will improve with every issue. Four boys are in the garden and outdoor work. They will make their labor count this summer. The girls are equally industrious. They have all of the housework. house cleaning, ironing, cooking, &c., divided among them, and each one knows and does her duty. In addition, they are learning to sew. It will thus be seen that every effort is being made to train up the children in iudustrious and studious habits and to wake them grow into usiful membe:s of society. No ser vants are employed in the work of the home. All are busy. At the same time none are overtaxed and all seem happy. We ask the prayers and gifts of God's people for this noble work. Patent insides won't do for religious papers. A most excellent exchange which uses them has for its leading item, on one of its pages, the news about the California four mile race. [Christian Observer. That is us! We acknowledge the corn. But we promise not to do so any more. Good-bye, patent insides. [Our Monthly, Clinton. This is right, friend Jacobs. We are glad to gee that the Monthly has resumed its old and familiar form, and that you eschei the patent outsides. Exchanges. HARPER's BAzjLR and HARPER'S WEExLy make regular and pleasing weekly visits. They always afford amusement and instruc tion. 'The Bazar is particularly esteemed by the ladies, as the fashions are made a special feature. The other is equally well recieved. PETERsON's LADIES' MAGAZINE for March is already received, and it is superb in all of its many features. "Pay Toll First" is the canningest and most r.atural picture we have seen in some time. No wonder that this magatzine is so popular, for it is always full of good things. Address Chas. J. Peterson, Philadelphia, with $2.00.

Success to the gentlemen proprietors. FOR THE HERALD. MR. EDrTOR : We accept with pleasure the amend ed plea of Citizen No. 2 on the lamp question, because, as is meet and just, it very properly unites the interests of the Methodist Church at evening ser vice with those of the Baptist and Lutheran congregations; while at the same time affording the pleasing op portunity of saying their omission heretofore was unintentional. Whether it be "Basso Profundo" or Mezzo So pranoi, we appreciate alike and entertain the highest respect for the inspiring tones of all voices dedicated to the praises of heaven and the glory of God. The question is simply one of light and convenience to our church-going community and a respectable portion of our fellow-citizens resident in the south-eastern portion of the town; and on this line, as a propo.sition of justTce, we most respectfully make suit to our worthy Town Council in the hope of meeting at their hands with a favorable response to the prayer of our petition.

Your request is hard to deny, and harder still to comply with. But if I can find material enough I cheerfully make the attempt. After a long, warm spell of weather, we are now experiencing quite a change. A slight sprinkle of sleet this morning, and now a constant rain and with it cold breezes. The lively imagi nary gardening was brought to a stand still to-day, and probably for the best. Last night at 12 o'clock I reached home from the last of the appointments on my work--being absent four days and travelled eighty-four miles. On this trip I had a clearer idea of the "Sandy Desert" than ever before. For eleven miles I passed the most lonely, brren country T ever saw. Not even D. said history states he died in search of water. The "Rozum" men are engaged in "boxing" their little scrub pines. I asked Mr. P. if the turpentine was as strong as that of stronger soil? But after crossing the "desert," we reached Salem church, which was well filled with men and women. Had a good meeting; one applied for membership, and the general outlook very cheering. We then turned our faces desert-ward; and midway the desert, Col. D., J. W. D., and J., with another, took a lunch in the road. However, it was cooked elsewhere. Here we saw a pig-yes, a live, frightened, fleeing pig.. I in quired who lived near by. They said no one, and we concluded the little fel low was in quest of water. The assessor passed through here getting the value of the land. He asked A. what his land was worth. "Worth?-yon say worth? Here are 3,000 acres that are worth nothing ex cept they serve for a bridge for my cattle to pass on over to Brushy Branch for water." This country lies between Colunibia and Camden and is known as the Sand Hills. Elsewhere the people seem to be far ahead of our Newberry and Laurens people in their farming opera tions. They still feel their loss by Sher man's army, and some find it bard to forgive. Oh, they were horribly treated. The country is quiet and good health generally prevails. Our little town is avery thrifty place; a fine cotton market, and as moral as any place I ever knew to its size, and is healthy. Come over and see. Wish ing the Editor and HERALD and all con nected success, I will close this ramble at RIDGEWAY, S. C. allWarried, On Sunday, Feb. 6, by the Rev. Claudius H. Pritcha'rd, at the residence of Mr. D. M.
