Free Public Educaein.
A number of petitions have late
ly gone up to Congress, asking ai
for public education at the South
and they have called forth variei
comment. These petitions repre
sent the feeling that we are not al
together responsible for the degre
of ignorance that prevails in th
Southern States, and the belief tha
the State governments are not abb
to give adequate support to thei
public schools. The first questioi
to be decided in the discussion o
any such subject as this, is whethe
free public education is ever a wis
measure ; and that question ha
been answered in a practical wa;
by the State governments. A di
ferent question, and one which rE
mains to be settled, is whether it i
legitimate for Congress to aid th
Southern States in the work the;
are doing, or whether they shoull
make the fight for education, un
aided.
The increase of illiteracy at th
South since 1870, is alarming. Th
nrmber of illiterate votes in th
late slave4olding States was, i:
1880, more than one million, thre
hundred thousand, the illiteracy a
the negroes being greatly in exces
ofthat of the whites, This ignoranc
is a standing menace to the perpett
ityof our republican institutions, an
the welfare of society. It is a pul
lie evil, and it furnishes the strong
est argument in favor of prompt rt
lief by the general government.
One of the finest political thin]
er- that ever touched a pen say
"I regard it as wholly inadmissibl
that any person should participat
in the suffrage, without being abl
K to read, write, and perform the coui
mon operations of arithmetic." Uni
versal teaching should precede und
versal voting; and the natio:
should make elementary educatio:
accessible 'to the humblest cit'izer
Those who argue that educatio:
n fils to .make. the negro a bette
citizen, prove nothing against put
lie schools, for they might add tha
education does not make the whit
man a better citizen; but it bette1
fits each for an intelligent exercis
of the privileges of citizenship
Education seeks moral associations
and no one who has not let a fave
rite .theory silence common sense
will deny that society is safest ii
the most enlightened community
or that education and material de
velopment go hand in hand.
It should be ,borne in mind tha
these petitions do not in a.ny sens<
pray for Northern aid; they as]
the general government for tha
which they are entitled to receive
and which would be of immense ad
vsntage to tYu public, without be
ing missed from the national tres
ury. And it~ would be both legiti
mate and judicious for Congress t<

fifteen millions of the one hnndrei
and forty millions of dollars, tha1
annually flow into the yublic fund
over and above the necessary ex

out aid of this kind, our free pub
S lic schools must for a long time rc
main inefficient. They meet obsta
eles that are peculiar to the South.
Their effEciency is crippled by th<
* sparseness of our population; ther
comes the indisposition to taxatfor
and the want of funds. But the
most serious obstacle, and one
which our critics have not yet giver
the consideration it deserves, is
the race problem. The negroes
in our State pay comparatively
nothing for public education, and
yet the colored children in omi
schools outnumber the white chil.
-dren by more than ten thousand.
Thme presence of these negro chil
dren renders two sets of schools
--. necessary, for mixed schools will
never be tolerated; and it conse.
.- quently makes the school systeh
less than half as efBient as it would
otherwise be. The negro is com.
-paratively a new comer in society,
and education means a great deal
S re to him than to his white neigh.

The general government makes
aplprations to support a navy
and a standing army, and no one
objects; it seeks to advance the
commercial interests of our common
country by constructing jetties in
Charleston harbor, and no one feels
that his State pride has been stab
bed. No more should we let a
mawkish sentiment -or silly pride
lead us to oppose the appropriation
of public money to make war upon
ignorance, that insidious public
enemy, and to advance the educa
tional interests of our people.
The Troublesone Tie.
In the House there was consid
erable debate on the motion of Mr.
Mackey to make the duty on cotton
ties 35 per cent. ad valorem instead
of 1 4-10 cents. per pound as pro
posed in the bill.
Mr. Aiken spoke, stating that he
had learned among many othei
I things that the whole country de
mands a revision of the tariff; thai
this revision must protect labor, of
the manufacturer's pocket will suf
a fer; that this revision must proteci
e the manufacturer's pocket or labo:
t will undoubtedly suffer; that 90 pei
cent. of the value of the manufac
tured article is labor; that 90 pe
r cent. of the value of the manufac
1 tured article goes to the employer
f while 10 per cent. goes to labor
r that a majority of the Republican!
on this floor, while clamoring foi
protection to labor, legislates the
s profits of labor into somebody else'f
V pockets; and that if Republicar
statistics are to be credited therE
are more men protected by the
tariff than there are laborers in the
s United States.
e Mr. Aiken refuted the statemeni
V that the planters of the South sel:

pay four cents, as so much cotton
He showed that the price of cottor
was fixed in Liverpool. He als<
e showed* that when the system o:
e deducting a fixed percentage foi
e tare in Liverpool was adopted the
a cotton crop was wrapped in Eas1
e India bagging, weighing full twc
and n quarter pounds per yard
To-day it is baled in New Englant
s bagging that weighs less than on(
e and a half pounds per yard, anc
which is sold to the cotton-plante:
in rolls of fifty and one hundrec
yards each, every roll of whicl

s He never found one to weigh ove1
e fifty-five pounds, and he had weigh

e the same as when the Fast Indii
bagging was used. See how the
cotton planter is fleeced.
SMr. Aiken went into the history
-of the cotton tie, and said that 11
Scould not be claimed that the man

The cotton tie manufacturers sim.
Sply shifted their labor from cottoi
ties to hoop iron, which under
prohibitory duty paid better.
The Southern cotton planter had
- struggled on from year to yeat
,trying to solve the problem of grow
ing cotton with free labor, without
appealing to the government for aid
or bounties, battling against Gov
ernme.nt taxation, disorganized
labor, English protection to East
SIndia cotton, and thousand of
obstacles only known to himself,
until to-day he produces the con
trolling' cotton crop of the world.
11is example Mr. Aiken corn
mended to the manufacturers of
-the United States. The wages in
.man~y portions of his State, and in
all t.ie Cotton States to a certain
degree, are one-half the gross pro

A Teachers Institute.
We wish it was obligatory on
the School Commissioner, by law,
or at least in his disoretion, to re
quire all teachers in his County to
attend an Institute meeting at least 1
quarterly. Let there be a fine put
upon those who do not attend, and
who have no satisfactory excuse,
said fine to be deducted from their
next paper offered for approval, and
applied for the benefit of the Insti
tute.
We produce from The Teachers
Institute published in N. Y., what
an institute should be, and what it
can do :
Teachers should hold meetings
and when they meet should take up
the subjects that need discussion.
This paper has urged that the
teachers' meetings should be in ef
feet a normal school-of the right
type, and it still urges it. (') Let
it take up certain subjects and let
them be studied over; let the presi
dent "drill" upon them in the most
thorough manner. (2) Let there be
at each session one or more "class
exercises," a class of pupils brought
in and taught by a member as a
class should be taught. (3) Let
there be discussions by the teach
ers; let both the ladies and the geu,
tleman give their views and their
reasons. (4) Let there be short pa
pers and short addresses read, also
music; and a good hearty greeting
of one another. Above all put an
account of your exercises in the
3 newspaper-this is as all important
as polities, show that you think so
by putting an account of your do
ings in the papers.
Hoping that the School Com
missioner, his board, teachers and
all who wish to foster and improve
public education may concur,
I am yours truly.
TEACHER.
[The law on this subject provides
"It shall be the duty of each Coun
ty School Commissioner to aid the
teachers in all proper efforts to im
prove themselves in their profes
sion. For this purpose, he shall
encourage the formation of asso
ciations of teachers for common
r improvement. Ile shall attend the
meetings of such associ4ipus, and
give such advice and instruction in
regard to their conduct and man
t agement as in his judgment, will
contribute to their greater efficien

Tne Greenville News speaking of
our inability to comprehend its
dark and mysterious utterance on
the subject of Democracy, says:
"We are compelled to decline the
task of supplying the HERALD with
the requisite brains to comprehend
them. We have none to spare, and
rthe contract is too large for the limi
ted resources of this establishment,"
Just fancy, if you can, our Con
t2lmporary making this confession,
"It would be a large contract to
furnish the requisite ,brains to com
prehend the statements of the
Greenville News!" Marvellously
frank; but at last we see no-reason
why we should not agree with our
esteemed contemporary. When our
contemporary settles to its Stride, it
fairly takes one's breath away, lis
ten to this: "The resources of the
NVews are too limited to supply the
requisite brains." Now, that's
downright bashfulness, and we
don't hesitate to- say so. Does our
contemporary expect even the poor
H ERALD to believe that? Think of
it; "We, we, the Greenville News,
cannot do this thing, because we
have not the resourg" No, sir,
we are usually credulous enough;
but we don't believe a word of that.
The News could, if only it would.

New York Letter.
AsToR Houss, Niw Yonu, Feb. 12,'83.
DEAR HERALD:-Sarely this is "a very
ray world for to live in, for to snend or to
lend or to give in." New York is a.world in
Itself, only on a small scale. To a country
lad like myself, is is full of charms, "wise
saws and modern instances." It Is worth
any man's hard-earned money to see-for to
see is to believe-the sights. One catches it
anyway, if he should perchance call for
what his heart most yearns for. Take the
table d'hote for Instance: the menu at a frst
class stopping house, tenderloin steak, $1.25;
cup coffee, 25 cents; boiled eggs, 25 cents,
etc. Would you think a poor man's money
lasts long at that rate? Upon a careful re
view of the case by you, the negative of the
question would lack for no sunport on your
part. Rooms from 50 cts. to $8.00 per diem!
That takes all a man can make In a week
down South.. It is worth enjoying, however,
once upon a time, provided you sandwich it
with an occasional visit home, where our
"hog and hominy" costs less, if it is not so
good.
Your correspondent halted at this place
night before last in the "wee sma' hours
ayant the twal." "All aboard" resounding
from the stentorian voice of the burly brakes
man at Baltimore means "Passengers, change
cars." You are at New Jersey Ferry after a
brisk ride of a few hours, during which speed
approximates sixty miles an hour. Cross
the ferry where polite hackmen are prepared
to conduct you to your hotel, if not beyond
eight or ten blocks, for Si 50. Then eome:
bustle, fuss and Feathers, steam elevators, and
the whole train of other things that are
alway s on the programme. Went oat yester
day to Brooklyn Tabernacle and heard Tal
mage. Cross Fulton Ferry, and by line of
street cars you soon reach the "holy gate."
En route, there are here and there occur
rences that absorb one's thoughts and attract
one's attention. People rush with an air of
anxiety and impatience that i4 enough to
take your breath away-all but. There is
no regard for the amenities that a Southern
man so scrnpulously observes. You can
tell men from the South as soon as you meet
them. They are more modest in their per
egrination, and move with apparently less
disturbance. (It is said in fact that they are
getting so fast in New York that the business
people don': care to work over five hour, daily)
A heavy snow storm, Saturday, the 10th,
covers the ground with a hoary covering, deep
enongh to give a man a burial position. On
all :ides men are shoveling the snow and ice
from the pavements, and the snow brigade is
reinforced by the characteristic street gam
ins and newsboys of New York, who pelt the
passers-by with snow-balls. The people
move, however, despite the frigidness of the
situation. The East river presents a beauti,
ful appearance, the turboats, the ferryboats,
the shipping vessels all alike have donned
a covering of white, and the ship hands
busily apply themselves towards disposing of
it where objectionable.
Now and then a sleigh is seetr, with oc
cupants all clad wit: furs and muff and
arctic. They seem to enjoy the sport and I
guess the, do. Well, we reach the Taber
nacle, where we are politely ushered to the
gallery and given a comfortable position,
from which to lake in the situation. As we
enter a hymn is given out, and the orche.tra
tunes up, the congregation rice and all join
in who have books and voices. "Hold the
Fort" being a popular air, there is no lack
of accompaniment. Talmage soon after
rises and gives his text in a squeaking voice
somethiig like that of a bov who approaches
maturity; 91th Psalm of David, Tart of the
9th verse, "Ile that formed the eve, shall he
not see." The burden of the effort was to
show God's majesty and power from the
creation of the eye, which he described as the
"imperial organ of the human system."
The eye is mentioned 634 times in the Bible.
For instance Divine care as the apple of the
eye. Pride as "Oh! how lofty are thine eyes."
Inattention, "Fool's eyes the end of the
earth ;" suddenness, "in the twinkling of an
eye the last trumpet shall sound," &c. Dr.
Talmage said it has been a wonder to him
for the past thirty years that some optician
does not deliver a series of lectures through
the country. displaying upon large canvass
all the ingenious parts and mechanism of
that great organ, to show the wonderful
abilities of the eye, in common parlance re
jeeting all medical nojenclatire. God's
wisdom was so great that be illumined the
world before he created man and gave him
his eyesight. "A fter the human eye is no
longer to he profited by their shIning, the
chandeliers of heaven nre to be turned out "
God honored the eyes by making a roof for
them-the eye brows which reach to the right
and left so that the sweat from toil would trick
le to the one or the other side, thus protecting
that organ which is of so great value to the
human being. There are- eight hundred
contrivances to every eye, which opens and
closes daily so often. Its ability to reject or
to receive. Within, the pupil dilating or
contracting at pleasure; its ability to se-e by
day or nigh t, showing its superiority. One
muscle to lift te eye. and one to lower. The
retina gamboling in ibe rays of ligh'. What
a delicate lens!' What an exquisi:e screen !
What wonderful chemistry of the human
eye! A contrivanc,e so very wonderful that it
it can see the sun ninety-five millions of miles
away and yet the-point of-a p.n. The arront
ner moves his telescope until it is prepared to
do its work, but the humani eve is al' ayys or
ranged to take in evety situa.tion, as by coup
d'oeil. It is a wonderful chamera obscura. No
delica te and yet a ligh t comning 95 millions of
miles is obliged to hta!t at the gate of the
eye, till the portcul;is is lifted. rtere ;a also
a merciful arr::nge-men t of the tear glands:
the tear not an nugmen'ation of sorrow, but
a breaking up of the frigid strea:ns of an
guish in the warm gulf-streams of consoln
tion. Oh ! the wonderful hydraulic apparatus
of the human eye! The tongtue is a clumsy
instrument comp-ared with it. It can twinkle
in an instant with merriment and the next
fire with indlign-uion. If the eye says one
thing and the lit.s another, you believe the
eye. Geo. Whitfield attracts a vast gather
ing, though his eyes are afflicted with sira
bisus Martin Luther turnedt his eve upon
his would-be-mnrderer and the assassin quail

sums of money, but the servatit, refusing,
sid, '-Oh! Emperor, I want nothing but may

deprived of their sigh t.
Ask the man w-ho has not seen the light for
twenty years,. who wo-:?d like to sec once

Wonderful as is this part or the hnenan

of you pay rents that are not rack rent, yet
have you never thought how much land
your rents for the last ten years would have
bought you? 'Tis better to cultivate twenty
acres of your own land without rents, than
thirty or forty for which you pay rents.
'Tis better that you buy a small tract of
land, build a cabin, plant an orchard. make
large compost heaps, drain well, plough deep,
be economic and industrious. Don't buy
much land. Twenty, thirty, forty or fifty
acres as you may be able to purchase. Im
prove and cultivate thoroughly and you will
have always a source of competence and of
pleasure. You will be incomparably a greater
benefactor of this and future ages than he
who ruins a thousand acres to buy a thou
sand acres more, or disrobes and mutilates
thousands of hills and valleys to erect a bank
or build a railroad. These institutions are
useful and progressive in their sphere, but a
virtuous, enlitbened cantented peasantry
cultivating their own enriched farms infinitely
more. These are the sob-strata-the mud
sills-on which lasting civil and political
prosperity must be erected. Ignorance, dis
sension, vice and misery brood and grow in
abnormal conditions, and they are abnormal
when lind<try and eco.tomv, diligence and
perseverance in the cultivation of tho soil go
begging.
We who have been accustorned to cultivate
large areas have never known nor appreciat
ed the capacities of one acre.
With no great time or trouble four acres
can be made to produce one hundred and
fifty bushels of oats. A like number of acres
can be made to produce sixty btshels of
wheat. Here then is food for a horse and good
bread for an ordinary family. If autumn is
not very dry enough, cratt-grass hay may be
gathered from this stubb:e to feed five cows.
Four acres of bottom, or land adapted to
corn will nearly any year, with proper culti
vation, produce eighty bushe( of corn.
Three acres of clover, potatoes, turnips and
barley will produce meat, milk and butter to
sell. One acre for garden will produce a sur
plus. Eight :cres in cotton can be made
to produce ei.ht !nines. which we will put at
$250. This will pay expen.es and leave
more or less deposit. By these figures we
hive sixteen acres to o e h,rse This could
be cultivated vi:b case and pleaure. The
conStant improvement going on in the land
with rich growing erc,ps, fat pigs and cows
he.v:ng distended udders, would lead no com
moo inspiration to effort. Fifteen or twenty
acres for fuel and timber would be sufeident.
Do you say we can't get this land? Have
you ever made an effort t Many will not sell
to you, yet there are many that will. Lands
are getting into the bands of the few and
the few are not to blame for it. You would
do the same had you the opportunity. It is
a spontaneous greed common to all mankind.
It may be folly in them to engross the soil,
it is wise in you to buy a home though ,it be
small. Their capital accumulates on them
and they hav, no emerpri?e in which to in
vest, so it is put into real es;ute; you make
no accumulation and never will until you get
a ba-is on which to operate-a kind of cen
tre around wbich you can deposit. Thi, is
no utopian plan, but one feasible and very
inviting. If you can not get a home of your
