The democratic sky is serene, and the heart beats high with hope, for a better day is coming, the long, dark night being nearly at its close. What a fearfully long night ! The Party Ruins 70,000 Ne groes. The records prove that the Repub lican party, which claimed to be the especial guardian of the negroes of the South, deluded them into intrust ing their savings to the Freedman's Savings Banks, and then robbed them of every cent. By this cruel. theft 70,000 negro depositors were robbed of $3,000,009. "A better Government can be se cured under proper economy, with all unnecessary and improper leakages stopped, than unaer a system of ex travagance which tends to make all public officers indifferent and reckless. This is the true secret of administra tive Reform. In New York we are running the government for little more than half what it cost two years ago, and the work is at least efficiently done."-Sam=l J. Tilden's con?.ersa tion at Albany, Sept. 4. Horatio Seymour says: I cannot think that the Amiericaii people will put every brauch of this government I into the hands of those who cannot give a vote for economy and reform without self-condemnation. I believe the best and most thoughtful of the Republican party wish to get out of this dilemma ; that they will be glad to have political power so distributed that needed reforms can be brought about. They can get their party into a shape where it will be more service able to the public welfare. With a: -Democratic President, and House on th-n ad n eulcnSnt thand, and ofcal Repbin hente, rhe Handwriting on ,e Wal. According to the ratio in which i vents are now progressing, the so- i alled Republicans will lose all the I espectable members of the party by 1 he end of October. Public recantations f Grantism are being made almost aily, the writers and speakers basing 1 heir chauge of views upon the ground hat administrative reform and honest ;overument cannot be hoped for under layes, whilst they are obtainable un er Tilden. To such an exteat does his feeling exist, and so lucidly and i orcibly are the views of these con verts to Democracy expressed, that we night be content to leave the argu nent of our cause to Ahese gentleuien, oufining ourselves to simply spread ng forth their opinions throughout the Union. No worse indictment could be arought against the present Republi >an managers than their treatment of he honest and capable chiefs of their ?arty. Edwin M. Stanton, Salmon P. Chase, Charles Sumner, Horace rreeley, ostracised and dying from )itterness of heart at seeing into what iands the government of their coun ;ry had fallen ; the "old watch-dog of ;he Treasury," F. E. Spinner, perse ,uted and driven into exile, s'o chat the wolves might run riot in the fold; Bristow squelched; Jewell removed, o that the mails may be properly 'managed" during the present can ass; and many other public officers milarly treated in order that our >resent Doge may carry out the de ;igns of his "Council of Ten," who tre resolved to have a like pliable Doge to succeed him. The reflecting and honest men of he Republican party will not stand his treachery to the Union any lon er. When such honest names as hose of William C. Bryant, Parke odwin and Hiram Barney lead the ran of protest, followed by so eminent statesman as Charles Francis Adams, md so profound a political thinker as Prof. Sumner, of Yale, the present ulers of the crumbling organization which met lately at Cincinnati know Fll well that "Mene, Mene, Tekel Jpharsin" which is inscribed by the and of destiny on their banners. When ;uh recognized leaders of public pinion as those we have named, with thers of equal prominence who are repaing to follow, thus forsake their ~ormer associations in supreme disgust, we may rest assured that the rank and ile of the party are resolved to emu late their action. Terrific HIail Storm. On last Saturday week one of the most terrific hail storms ever expe ienced in this State visited Lancaster, which destroyed property to the value >f $75,000. The storm commenced it 5 o'clock-the cloud rising in Ches ber and bearing northerly toward Lan aster, passed clear through that coun y into Chesterfield. Many farms were aompletely devastated, corn and cotton beig torn to atoms. Trees which are left standing are bare of leaves and bark by the hail, which in some places varied from the size of a cherry to bat of a goose egg, and many of which were driven through solid planks. Rabbits, birds and chickens were killed in great numbers. At the ilage the destruction was not so ~reat, but through the country where t passed the appearance is said to be ,hat of midwinter. The hail in many ?Iaces lay in piles a foot deep. Fortu iately there was no loss of life. We learn from the Union-Rlerald hat a portion of Gross Keys and Joshen Hill townships suffered terri ly at the same time from the effects f the hail storm which passed bhrough that section of country. The erald's correspondent says he can iot describe the awful scene-and no .hing but devastation and ruin mark he track of the storm. Late corn and >eas are all lost, and the cotton is lit rally stripped, and most of the boils eaten off and drifted into piles. Capt. Douglass' gin house and outbuildings, with Mr. D. P. Duncan's stables, were estroyed. Mr. J. D. Epps, of the Caldwell ;eetion, writes that such a storm has 2ever before been witnessed. It was Lbout one and a half miles wide and wept everything in its track. The loss >n J. T. Douglass' Whitmire place is tbout twenty-five bales of cotton, nd he has lost proportionately on the Vance place. All the cotton that was >pen is gone, and green bolls can be ~athered by the bampersful. Between fire of last April and this storm the writer has suffered terribly. All along he line of the storm the fencing is General Hampton in a brief ad iress made in Columbia on Thursday sight last said he " did 'not doubt were he to go before the Combahee rioters he would have a respectful ~earin~." No one else doubts it. It That democracy means peace can iot be doubted, and just the reverse neans radicalism. Patterson, who is iow in Washington with Chamber ain, and who runs there every time he political pot boils over, and his >recious neck is in danger, said, on he occasion of this late stampede, We've got to raise h-il somehow with the niggers, and get the troops iown there, or the d-d rebels will :arry the election in spite of us." Lhe time has gone by when he could nake good capital in this way, and Ivery time he r..ises a disturbance the lemocratic ranks swell with the ac ession of sensible colored men who ,ce through the trick. Every tiic, oo, lie succeeds in " raising h-li mong the niggers" it is to their -ost. Democracy means peace, good overnment, prosperity; radicalism eats war of races, a rotten govern Ment, theft and final bankruptcy. Choose between the two, colored men. rhe Way They Do it in Indiana. The Democrats of Davies County, End., have arranged for a traveling political camp meeting. The arrange ment provides for a moving caravan, to be composed of 500 Tilden Guards, in uniform, as advance escorts, 150 wagons, each containing men, women ind provisions for the trip and a twelve pound cannon manned by gun ers. The design is to start on the morning of September 19, and make i complete circuit of the Second Con ressional District, stopping at some rominent point for a meeting. At unrise a salute of 100 guns will be ired to convince the neighborhood that business is on hand. Honq. ffeister Clyiner, S. S. Cox, James H. Beck and others will accomyany this yamp meeting on wheels." early Two Hundred Millions Stolen by Carpet-Baggers. The records prove that President Grant's reconstruction policy has re 5ulted in the increase of the debts of Southern States, which were almost nothing at the close of the war, to an aggregate of -8194,000,000, and in the almost complete confiscation of property by local taxation; that the lists of estates and farms to be sold or taxes fill column after column and page after page of the Southern news papers ; that this condition of things affects the blacks equally with the whites, and is the direct result of the enormous thefts of Republican offi eials. Editorial Review. Lau rens is all alive-politics, labor reform and anti-cotton associations are all being run at the same time. The fever in Charleston is said to be of the most virulent character, and hundreds of people are leaving the city. D. D. McCall, Esq., of Marion, so licitor of that circuit, has severed his onnection with the Radical party. Another. Maj. H. A. Meetze has been nomi nated for the Senate, and Dr. 0-. Mul ler and Maj. G. Leaphart for the House, by the Democrats of Lexington. Things are red-hot in indiana, and the boys in blue are doing a good work for the Democracy. The miounted >amp meeting will make many con erts. Old John Robinson-Reliable will exhibit in Spartanburg Oct. 23d. He is travelling with an immense eoncern-and will take Newlerry in his tour. In Clarendon a conservative colored Republican named Bines was stabbed y Nero Abraham, a colored Radical, accause the former said something in Favor of the Democrats. The yellow fever in Savannah is on Lhe increase and earnest calls are made For help, both in money and for aurses. There are thousands of des ~itute people who can only live by abarity. Col. Aiken has invited L. Cass Car penter to meet him on the stump. But Cass refuses to stump it. The Fact is the Radicals are too badly stumped to meet any of the Demo ratic speakers. Major Stewart's Company, now stationed at Laurens, we are pleased o learn has raised by subscription he sum of $100 for the widow of H. B. Hall, who was shot by a member f that company sometime ago. District Attorney Corbin is (is gusted with the ticket, and says there are but few on the ticket he can vote for. We hear of several other prominent Rads who are almost if not fully per uaded to cut loose from the dirty ticket but are not yet ready to make it publicly known. They declare they vill not vote it. The mass meeting at Honea Path >n Wednesday last was another bright .hm.pt- in the democratic record. W hat Hampton says he means-of the ruany noble sentiments he has ut tered one is that if elected he will be the Governor of the whole people, white and black, and show no partiality to any. He declares, too, that he will be able to settle all State affairs without assistance from the General Govern ment. He is the man for the occa sion. Near Jonesville, in Spartanburg County, a young girl was forcibly seized by a negro and an attempt made to violate her. Happily the wretch did not carry out his dastardly purpose. He is at large and a reward has been offered for his arrest. He is copper color, five feet one inch high and weighs one hundred and twenty-five pounds The Spartan says "On Satur day a box was received at. the railroad office at this place containing the last shovel of earth from Butt Mountain cut, on the Spartanburg & Asheville Railroad. It tells its own tale. The problem has been solved-' From the seaboard to the mountains' is now but a question of rhetoric. 'From ocean to ocean ' is the language of commerce." "Honest John" Patterson says he is glad that Hampton desires joint discussion, but if he means by that to limit the Republican speakers in time they wont stand it, as President Grant has his eye on the South, and the wan on horseback will regulate affairs, and that the Albany Penitentiary stands open and has plenty of room for the Democratic rank and file. Does he mean to intimidate? FoR THE HERALD. Our Local Schools. NO. 3. MR. EDITOR :-Having spoken in my last two communications of the vital necessity of liberally sustaining our schools, I will now make a few remarks on the kind of. studies best fitted to arouse thought, to create the power of thinking, in which consists all true education. Studies may be divided into two great classes-those mainly important for knowledge and those chiefly dis iplinary. Of the first kind are Spell ing, Reading, Geography, History, &c. Of the second, Latin, Greek, and the exact sciences, Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, &c. Proper school education should be a judicions admixture of both these elements. The first are in their nature' more simple, and a part of th'em, as Reading and Spelling, rudimentary; and therefore absolutely essential for the foundation of all education what ever. As school education is almost entirely derived from books, it is ob vious that Spelling and Reading lie at the foundation ; and we see at once that until a child ca'n read clearly, distinctly and without any hesitation, it is impossible for him to obtain from books any clear ideas or information. Although we must insist on these as the fundamental ground work, still we all know that a foundation without a superstructure is worse than useless, and that the best foundation laid must be built on or it will fall to ruin; and all the outlay hitherto made will be worse than lost. If then, we mean to make the pupil's mind a mere store house, to be crammed as full as it can hold, and then left to be drawn upon and exhausted, or abandoned to rust and inevitable decay, we will not only insist upon these elementary studies as paramount, but all-sufficient. The very word we use carries with it the true idea at which we should aim. Education is derived from two Latin words, "e" and "duce," meaning "to lead out"-not stuff in. Education, then, means the opposite of cramming or filling-as of a storehouse or barn but rather the drawing out, polishing aid brightening of the hidden jewel within. Then if we mean and wish, in this higher sense, to educate ouir children, we will, a3 soon as the mere rudiments are acquired, press the more important or disciplinary studies. Many parents, however, through over indulgence, allow their children at-an immature age, and when they are ut terly unable to form a correct judg ment, to abandon these, the most important, because they are difficult and require more application and study. There is a growing disposition ot our age and country to be free of restraint and discipline. Consequently, we find both boys and girls, as a general rule, opposed to the prosecution of the more definite studies, and parents weakly yielding to the pressure. How, then, is the necessary dis ciplinary training to be gained ? Not by studies requiring no pains, but by studies which will require time and close application. We all know by the common experiences of life, that what is easily got is as easily lost. Too easy studies open the workshop for the great eneyTr is a closer conneetion FoR THE HJERALD, Our New York Letter. NEW YORK, Sept. 19. BEN.AMIN F. BRISTOW. The only reform blossom on the Republican tree, is Benjamin F. Bristow. He has recently flowered out as a Iayes orator under the in ducements of the first plank of the platform of pleaty of money, and the bloody shirt. Au hour amuon the sugar refiners here would c:nvince any one of the fact that reform blos sois on the Radical tree can bear no good fruit. They say that his de cisions were the most unjust of any ever rendered by any Secretary of the Treasury, that he decided cases of ex actly the same character in opposite ways at the same time, and that his decisions were made iu favor of his ac quaiutances and friends, aid against those who relied upon his official constituency. They point to the fact that when they publicly made these charges, and gave detailed facts and figures in support of them, no denial was made at the time, or since, not withstanding that Mr. Bristow's friends promised an explicit and full explanation. The plain truth of the matter is that Bristow traded upon a special exploit, for which he was en titled to but little credit, as he acted only on mercantile figures furnished to the Treasury by merchants and manufacturers, whose interests were hostile to fraud, months before any step was taken by the Government. I confess that an exhibition of these letters and figures has startled me; for they show, 1st, That for over a year not only the extent but the exact localities of the frauds, amounting, as all know, to tens of millious of dollars, was known to the Treasury. 2d, That the Treasury persistently re fused to take any notice of the repre sentations or make any use of the knowledge until driven to do so by the press. There is nothing yet developed about these gigantic frauds not con tained in an article published in the Journal of Commerce of this city in the Fall of 1874. A MODEL COMMISSIONER. When attention of Revenue Com missioner Douglass was called to the extent of the cheatiug in St. Louis, he replied that the Government had trusty officers there (namely, Mc Donald, Joyce and Ford) and that if there was any trifling irregularity it was too small to be worthy of notice, and yet, at that moment, of the tax of 70 cents per gallon on distilled spirits the Government was receiving only 30 cents, the thieves in and out of office pocketing 40 cents. Yet Mr. Commissioner Douglass, who, before he became the friend and protector of McDonald and Joyee, was the friend and protector of Bailey and Ditten hoeffer still bears generally the repu tation of a faithful officer, dull and stupid undoubtedly, but still faithful. The plain truth must now be told. Among them all there was not one faithful-no not one. All were tarred with the same stick, and the best plea that any one can make is that he was less knave than fool. Douglass, the model Commissioner earned a large fortune in a year after his retirement by obtaining reversals of his own de cisions. In the single matter of the brokers' tax he got over $50,000. Another attorney did all the work, but .Douglass obtained the decision. From Delano to Bailey and from Douglass to Joyce, all were venal, and either bribed or influenced ji their decisions by the powers of those in supreme power. The present Com missioner, G. B. Raum, was appointed at the urgent request of John Logan. He knows nothing whatever a.bout revenue matters, except as informed by the old clerks of Delano and Douglass. Is it reasonable to expect better results from his administration, with Delano and Douglass for models, and Logan for a guide? There is only one cure to reform the whole abominable system, which has de stroyed the internal revenue, and by criminal connivance, or, to be chari table, equally criminal neglect, allowed the government to be robbed in four teen years of over NINE HULNDRED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. THE REMEDY FOR INTERNAL REVENUE FRAUDS. The more I consider the subject, the more I am convinced that there is no remedy short of the extirpation of the whole present system. Every evil has its relict, and every fraudulent combination its still paid defender in the Bureau now. Every official driven out immediately turns "attorney," and makes a fortune out of his know ledge of fraud, and his control over other officials who participated with him in fraudulent gains, and dare not decide against him. The remedy is sinmple-"A change of measures and of men." This evil was so plainly the most gigantic, that the House did not complete its investigation at the late session sufficiently to pass any general measure of reform in the face of the determined opposition ot the radical Senate ; the Democratic vie tory of this Fall will enable Congress to cure effectually the festering sore on our body politic, which poisons the air of the Treasury. The Republican Senators will not reist this reform be cause too many of them are too deep ly concerned in post delinquencies to dare resist it, and the election of the Democratic ticket this year will not only disclose the sources of past cor ruption, but will restore to the Govern ment full revenue from a source from which there has heretofore resulted not merely loss of revenue, but the most sham~eful scandals which have disgraced us in the eyes of the world, and worse still in our own eyes, for as self-degradation is the worst of all de gradations, self-esteemn is of all things the most essential to success, 1 Yi:U'rL'R 'T'rTlM(,Q forgive prosiness on such subjects. I they want dissertations on uore amu sing themes I can only refer them to your next letter, which will be devo. ted to plays and pastimes, as is right ou the theory, that even peuding elec tions determining the future of the country, "all work and no play make, Jack a dull boy." FOR THE HERALD. Our Washington Letter. WASHINGiON, D. C., September 19, 1876. THE POLITICAL SITUATION FROM A WASHINGTON OUTLOOK. At the present writing, it looks a, if nothing can prevent 'Mr. Tilden from bping elected but the failure 0 his friends to conviu,e the voters in the North that h.e was a loyalist, in word and deed, during the late civil war. Mr. Tilden's Northern sup porters have, thus far, shown them Solves to be less sagacious and pa. triotic than the Democrats of the South. The latter understand the "situation," and are clamorous that pamphlets shall be distributed all ovei the doubtful States setting forth, un deniably. the Union Record of ouz candidate. The Southern men under stood well the impossibility of electing any Democratic candidate who did not have a good Union record, ard they selected Mr. Tilden because he had such a record. They now com plain, and with good reason, that while all sorts of documents are scat tered over the country refuting charges preferred against him which very few persons believe to be well founded, and most people care nothing about, one way or the other, nothing has yet been published and widely circulated in those States where it would be bene ficial, showing that Mr. Tilden was from .the very first. as he now is, an uncompromising Union man. Mr. Tilden's record, as a speaker, a writer and a liberal donor to the Union cause during the war, is so well known in New York, that the preparation of the pamphlet that is now the great need of the campaign ought not to be delayed. THE WESTERN GERMAN VOTE. The indications are unmistakable that Indiana and Ohio will be carried by the Democracy next month. Two months ago this was not expected. It was then pretty generally conceded by leading Democrats that the Republi cans would certainly carry Ohio, and most probably Indiana. Since then however, the German Republicans in those two States have been coming ovei to the Democracy, owing to the course generally pursued by the Republicat party on the temperance question. Attempts have been unsuccessfully made by Republican writers and speakers to convince the Germans thai they will belittle themselves, and sink in public estimation, if they deserta party whose general principles and measures they approve, merely be cause it has failed- to meet their wishes on one petty issue, un Rorthy of con sideration which the Germans give tc it. To the above specious sophistry the German newspapers reply thatecitizens of foreign birth do not primarily object to the enactment and enforcement o' sumptuary laws because they interfere with their personal interests, conve nience and enjoyment, but because such laws are wrong in spirit and principle. "The men," say they, "wh( threw the tea into Boston harbor were not, necessarily, all tea drinkers. Pro bably, some of them even disliked the beverage. It was the principle of taxation without representation t( which the people of the thirteen colo ides objected ; not the amount of th( tax. 'Millions for defense ; not One cent for tribute' was their motto. And it is to the principle involved in sump. tuary laws and Sunday laws that nmost naturalized citizens and a large and rapidly increasing proportion of native citizer's object. Adopted citizens of German birth would not be worthy of the high honor of American citizen ship if' they did not endeavor to secure, by the peaceful use of the ballot, the abolition of all arbitrary restrictions on their personal liberty." I hiave given you, above, the con centrated essence of the German press on the temperance question and Sunday laws , but the Democracy should bear in mind, however, that these are local questions and if we carry Indiana and Ohio in October, we do not, ipso facto, necessarily carry them in No. vem.ber. The U. S. Government has nothing to do with the Sunday ques. tion, nior that of prohibition; and many men may therefore vote one ticket in October, and the other in November. For that reason, and others equally obvious, no matter how large our majorities in Indiana and October may be in October, it will be necessary for us to go on work. ing harder than ever from then on till November ini those States, and in all others which have a large Germnan vote.
