A professor in the old South Carolina College once asked a class of young men, "What is the world's .greatest civilizer?" and received various answers; including, of course, christianity, steam, elec tricity and the printing press. But, declaring all the answers unsatis factory, he said, "Young gentlemen, the world's greatest civilizer is soap." One who is accustomed to only the surface of things may regard that teaching as a soap bubble-something that will ex l'ode as soon as it is touched; but underlying it is the soundest moral philosophy. It is but another and plainer way of saying that clean Iiness is next to godliness, and that there is no civilization of dirt-that civilization is a delicate plant . which requires pure air and warm sunshine, and flourishes in the midst of decency and comfort. Apply this teaching to our negro laborer. Many persons have des rY paired of civilizing him, and it is a question that deserves the consid eration of thoughtful-men, whether any -race situated as the negro is, could reach a high order of civiliza tion. A man who is taken from '-e gutter for the purpose of being ilized must first receive whole ' .some food; then, decent clothing; and, after that, comfortable shelter. Without these three conditions, even the christian religion would do ittle towards civilizing him. The civilization of the negro is only two hundred and fifty years old; and the sun never looked upon a race that advanced farther in-the same - length of time, under so unfavorable -ceingtions. But he still presents a ~ erplex.ing problem. A few days ago the Commission er of Agriculture said, in an inter * iew, that white immigrants to our State demand better food and bet ter houses than the negro laborer is accustomed to. This shows that a people with a 'thoused years of race culture to back them will not submit to the conditions thrust up .on our laboring population; and it -esows, too, that the negro has not been accorded a perfectly fair op portunity of bettering himself. .z<iThere are persons who think that dirt and indecency are conditions Anormal to the negro; but these -sme persons think that hogs are especially fond of rotten apples. The tz;uth of the matter is, that they have never seen the comfort ex periment tried upon the negro, just as they have never -offered the hog any other kind than rotten apples. The negro, like the hog. takes what he'can get-it rotten apples, or no apples at all. The question might- well be ask ed, why should we not give our V- negro laborers better food rand comfortable quarters, instead of -offering them as inducements to -- immigrant labor. We believe that, as a rule, the landowner who has good tenement houses, get the best tenants, and is able to keep them. Our country would be improved by improving the houses in which labor dwells. These houses should be so -arranged as to keep out the winter's cold; they should have glass to let -.in the light, when they are closed against disagreeable weather; they - ~should be so constructed as to give the inmates some inducement to -keep them clean and comfortable. The majority of men cannot rise * above their surroundings. Treat a man as a savage and he will take to the woods; try to civilize him in ai pig-pen and you will make of him little more than a second rate hog. At the last Sessions Court in Spartanburg, Jno. W. Garrett, fore man of the Grand Jury, was convict ed of selling lager beer on Sunday. He submitted an affidavit that he had abandoned the sale of lag beer and would not engage in iit again. A number of members of ..the Bar presented a petition asking that the sentence be made as light -. as possible, and Judge Kershaw imposed a fine of $100 and costs, or two months imprisonment. MAcox. July 5.-A special to the Telegraph and Messenger reports that the first bale of the new crop of cotton was sold at Albany, G a., to-day at 25) cents per pound. It weig'hed 335 pounds, and was class ed middling. It was raised by~ CALHOUN ON PROTECTION. For the benefit of those of our 1 readers who havenever learned -the true meaning of "protection" as ad vocated by the high-tariff men of j this country,- we give an explana- i tion in the clear, terse language of f the great Free-trader. After show ing that revenue and protection are as opposite as light and darkness, t he said, discussing the tariff bill of 1842, "I am, senators, now brought to the important question, Why should such a bill pass? Who asks for it, and on what ground? It comes os tensibly from the manufacturers. I say ostensibly; for I shall show, in the sequel, that there are other and more powerful interests among its advocates and supporters. And on what grounds do tliey ask it? It is on that of protection. Protection against what? Against violence, op pression, or fraud? If so, govern-i ment is bound to afford it, if it comes within the sphere of its pow ers, cost what it may. It is the ob ject for which government is insti tuted; and if it fails in that, it fails in the highest point of duty. No: t it is against neither violence, op- r pression, nor fraud. There is no complaint of being disturbed in property or pursuits, or of being defrauded out of the proceeds of , industry. Against what, then, is protection asked? It is against low prices. The manufacturers com plain that they cannot afford to carry on their pursuits at prices as low as at present; and that, unless they can get higher, they must give t up manufacturing. The evil, then, is low prices; and what they ask of t government is to give them higher. , But how do they ask it to be done? c Do they ask government to com- s pel those who want to purchase to e give them higher? No: that would r be a hard task, and not a little odious; difficult to be defended on the principles of equity, justice, or f the Constitution, or to be enforced, t if it could be. Do they ask that a e tax should be laid on the rest of the community, and the proceeds i divided among them, to make up r for low prices? or, in other words, f do they ask for a bounty? No: l that would be rather two open, op- a pressive and indefensible. How, then, do they ask it to -be done? By putting down competition, by the imposition of taxes on the pio ducts of others, so as to give them r the exclusion of the market, or at least a decided advantage over t others, and thereby enable them to C sell at higher prices, Stripped of I all disguise, this is their request; t and this they call protection. Call it tribute, levy, exaction, monop oly, plunder; or, if these be too harsh, call it charity, assistance, aid-anything rather than protec. tion, with which it has not a . feature in common. Are you prepared to adopt a prin ciple that, whenever any branch of industry is suffering from depress ed prices, it is your duty to call on all others to assist it? Such is the broad principle that lies at the bot tom of what is asked; and what would it be, if carried out, but equalization of income? But, if you are ready to carry out the princi pIe in its full extent, are you pre pared to restrict it to a single class, the manufacturers? Will you give them the great and exclusive ad vantage of having the right of de-( manding assistance from the rest 1 of the community whenever their profits are depressed below thet point of remuneration by vicissi tudes to which all others are ex-1 posed? I can add, from my own expe rience, that the great cotton-grow ing interest cannot afford to give higher prices for its supplies. Ast much as the manufacturing interestt is embarrassed, it is not more soI Sian the cotton-growing interest;i as moderate as may be the profit of the one, it ec.nnot be morei moderate than that of the other." The Freetraders of our country have greatly increased in number since 1842; but the relation whicht then existed between the manufac- I turing and agricultural interests of the country remain the same. The2 one still demands protection; the other still advocates a tariff for re' nue. to raise an amount sufficient to meet the necessary expenditures of the government. The present protec tive duties annually bring into the public treasury millions of money that is not needed to support the government; they do this at the expense of our commercial and agricultural interests; and the pro tective tariff is, therefore, both bur densome and iniquitous. No won der, then, that our agricultural pop ulation still bears aloft the banner on which Calhoun inscribed t he words, Free trade; lote duties; nto debt ; separation~ from banks ; econo my; ;ret rencm,ent.an(d strict adherence to the Contstitut ion. *When you suffer from dyspepsia, heartburn, malarial affections, kid ney disease, liver complaint and other wasting diseases.

July 5.-Absalom lythe, United States marshal for ;outh Carolina. has tendered his esignation. Mr. Blythe says that he was led o resign by crookedness in his leputies' accounts. The position ever suited him. He will resume he practice of law in Greenville.

In the lard investigations in hicago a few days ago it came to ight, that in December last the ~owler Bros. made 5,000 to 6,000 ierces of what they labeled as prime steam lard," but which real. y was adulterated with tallow and ecf bones mixed with the hog fat. Congressman Dibble has been eceiving hot shot from all direc ions since he declared his inten ion to vote for Randall 'fdr speaker.

In May 99,601 immigrants arriv ad in the United States, against L41035 in the corresponding month THE CROPS. CoLrBA, July 10.-The State Department of Agriculture has re ceived 315 returns from township correspondents, covering every county in the State, and showing the condition of the crops on July 1st. The commissioner furnishes the folloving consolidation of these reports: Two hundred and three corres pondents report that the weather was generally favorable for growing crops during thg month of June, and 112 say that it was unfavora ble. The growth of the cotton was checked by the cool, dry weather in May, but under the impetus of sea sonable showers it has made rapid improvement for the past month, and but for the failure to obtain perfect stands, and the injury from causes already stated, it would have reached an average condition this month. The crop was in the best possible condition to receive the full benefit of the rains, as the dry May had enabled farmers to free it entirely from grass. There is, however, in some localities, a de ficiency of labor, and it has been impossible to give cotton the ne cessary work. This reduces the present condition below the point it would otherwise have reached. Cotton is reported in northern Carolina at 93, a gain of 13, since June 1, in middle Carolina 87, a gain of 3 and lower Carolina 84, a gain of 3. This makes the average condition for the State 88, against 92 for the same period last year. Anderson and Oconee are the only counties that report the con dition of cotton as equal to an av erage. Sumter County reports the lowest condition, 82. Corn-Its condition is reported in northern Carolina to be 86, mid dle Carolina 86 and lower Carolina 87, an average for the State of 86 against 83 on the 1st of June and 104 on the 1st of July. 1882. Lexington County alone reports corn in an average condition, and Newberry and Charleston report the lowest condition, 75. Wheat-The total production for the State, estimated from these re ports, shows a decline of 8 per cent., while the quality of the grain is shown to be better than last year by 68 reports, fully as good by 130 and not so good by only 26; and the northern and middle counties show that 96 per cent. of the crop is used for home consumption, thus sending 4 per cent. of their total production to market. The decrease in the total produc tion of wheat in the State this year as compared with last year, based upon these returns, will be 154,798 bushels, and the decrease in oats 1,585,994 bushels.-Columb>ia Cor., News wd Courier. D. M. J. Davis, Lewis, Iowa, says: "Brown's Iron Bitters give the best of sai,isfaction to those who use it." ATLANTA, July 4.-To-day Gen.

Information having been received by Superintendent Lipscomb tiat those convicts oni the Greenwood anud Laurens Railroad who had complained to him of ill treatment during his recent visit to the camp were subsequently severely flogged. by order of the captain of the guard, the Superintendent at once satisfied himself of the truth of the statement and made a demand upon the Vice President of the road for the re moval of the cruel captain of the convict camp, and it is reasonable to suppose that the discharge was promptly made.-Register. ./Vew Advertizsemecnts.
