Editorial Correspondence. It wat 6% ptwure and good fortune, ra* ??.ntly'to nuke a trip to Washington and New York. The trip to Washington in eluded the inauguration oeremooiea of Preaidont Gsrflold, whioh wore moro than Banally inposing.? At thia late day. 'bow* ' ?var, We shall omit ail referenee to the news of tho dat and oontent ourselves with remark? upon OM Itera ?od thing? whioh, though not new, nay interest Our friends aud general roadors. 'J And first: Tho trip ban be mado from . Walhalla to Washington in twenty?tbree hour? on any of the passenger trains, eepaoially by tho Midland Route. The railroads on all tho routes have been muoh improved and. geoerally good time is made, especially on the "fuel wail" train. We found no road? anywhere superior to the Air-Lino in comfort and speed. Naturally wo took the routo by Riohmond, whioh is known by the namo of the Riohmond ?nd Danville Rood'. From tho time we left home wo- MW ovideooe of improvement .long th? route. This was espeoially true In South and North Carolina. Riohmond has been rebuilt and* greatly improved. Ashland, just beyond; hes fibs schools and tho growth of tho plaoo has been romarkable. "Hanover Junction," however, maintains ita own ?nd ha? not i inproved'm ooh J We saw very little ovideooe of improvement- in Virginia generally. Sho suffered terribly j during the war, in faot was almost crushed between the "upper and nether millstono." Virginia, with the exemption of her tobaooo crop, is a grain growing Stato. In this reepeet she ?innot compete with tho West and her recuperation must, thcreforo, be slow. Sho has, however, the best wishes of ?very Southerner who has a soul in bis body. With time, she will again take her plaoo in tho roll of States ss the "first and foremost" in tho ranks of tho Republic. From Riohmond to Fredorioksburg there has been no ohauge in the face of tho country. Frederioksburg i? a historio spot. Tho ovidenoes of war have noorly all disap peared and tho town presents a busiocss appearance. The United States flag waves abovo Marya's heights over the graves of th? oombatants during the war. Formerly .he railroad run only to Aoquia Creek and tho balance of the trip was made by steamer. Tho railroad bas been extended to Washington atong tho banks of the Poto mac, and tbe entire distance from Riohmond to Washington is now made by rail. We crossed tho "High Bridge" just after tho thaw in the Potomac. Three span? of the bridgo had been carried away by the ice andaores of it were lying in tho stream, in plaoes ten feet abovo the water. It waa the first notioe wo had that wo had strtrek a ooldor olimato. The groat quan tity of foe in tho river throw tho water out into the streets of Washington higher than it had ever been before. [TO BB CONTINUBD.J Politics at Washington. Beforo Proeident Huyes laid aside offioiai authority he called an extra session of the Senate to pass on or confirm the oabinet offia eera of the incoming Prosidont and suob other.offioere aa it might be necessary for him to appoint. This has been tho custom since the foundation of the government and at the timo exoitod no remark. But the close ness of the parties in the Sonate soon made the session ono of interost. Throe of Presi dent Garfield's oabinot were takon from tbe Senate, which left three vacancies on tho Republican side. There were also two in dependents in the Senate-Judge Davis, of Illinois, and Oen. Maheno, of Virginia. Mr. Davis, who was oleotcd by Democratic votes, said bo would vote with the Democrats for the porpose of organizing the Senate. Qon. M abono said nothing. Tho Senate met from day to day, but nothing could be accomplish ed, the Republicans filibustering to consumo time antil the three vacanoies in the Son* ate could be filled. This course was unusual for so grave and deliberative a body aa tho 8enate of the United States and was un known in the better days of tho Republic. Finally tho vnoanoies were filled and every? thing depended noon- Gen. Mnhone. If he Voted with tho Republicans thoro would be a tie, whioh wauld bo decided by the easting vote of the Vloe President. Tbe organizing of tbe Senate meant displacing the Demo? oratio officers and giving the committees, whioh give shape to publio business, to the Republicans. Wheo the Senato met on the 14th, Ben Hill, of Goorgla, took upon himr S*r to draw Gen. Mahone from his shell. Tho discussion whioh followod was not very oredltable to the Senate, Mr. Hill bulldozing Gen. Maheno until tho latter finally declared he would voto with tho Republicans in or ganising the Senate. Hill insisted that Ma< bon? Wa? Sleeted a? a Democrat and bound 1 with the party in- organising tho Son* atc M&0D* denied it and said ho was ?le?ted a? tT*JJwdJa8t*,f'' ?r tho publie dobt of Virginia ancWofc Q< * D*?oorat, and that be ?nr?oded to v\*? M ho P*?-?*- 8ooatpr Hill ?barged tj^?n,> Mahone bsd eorrcptly combined with tb? Republicans and WM to control tb? patronage of th? Pcdoral Oov eminent io Virgina. This Goo. Mahon? de nied and oompollod Hill to oeaao bia bad? gering. Thia ls really tb? pciot in th? case. If Maheno roted with tho Ho publican s and is to bo paid with offioei fur it, he bas pros tituted ono of the highest positions in tho country. If, ns ho says, ho hns not dono so, be bid the right t?\*ote as he pleased, and be say? WVVfil continu? to do so. The conreo of Boo. Hill is oondemned by the press generally. It.is admitted on all hands that nols not a safe man into whose banda the political rc un tat i on of any one can be safely trusted. In 1877 bo badgered Hampton ,nod Butler, but dh| not oom? off as woll In that contest "Wa bo 1 did with Gen. Mahon?. Besides, it is well know that Mr. Hill went into Congress from tb? 9th Georgia Distriot as an independent ngsloat the organ ised Demoorsoy of tbat district, N?w. how ever, be is the self-constituted custodian of t bo political fortune? of Cn o at o ra from other States. Popular Education. i ?i ?j . : : ... Tb? Aiken Journal and Review and tho Charleston Nexos and Courier aro disoues ing earnestly and thoughtfully the subjoot of popular education. The Journal and Review looks upon our present eohool system .s lame, lt admits thst the system of common school education in South Caro lina is "the best that the pressing omer, goooies of our ease would pormit at tho time that the Demooraoy attained posses sion of the State/' but regards it as "a praotioal nullity, io view of its utter io effioieocy in the improved fiosoeial condi tion and inoreased prosperity of tho - State. The News and Courier looks- upon the present system os inadequate, and ia not in favor of a bighor rote of taxation by the State than tho two mill tar and tho polls. Tho presont system, though faulty, perhaps ts accomplishing muob good and should not be thrown aside for anotbor without grave consideration. Tho system is ioeificiont mainly beoauso the money appropriated for this purpose is too ?mall. Tbore is, too, a fundamental orror in tho levy, collection and expenditure of the tax. The tux is oolleeted on the property and pollsmf each o>uoty and expended on the schools io each oouoty The tax ia looal and not general. The tax ia oolteoted aod disbursed' without reference to the number of children to be educated. Our idea ia, that the tax should be a common ono, oolleeted by the State and espended where the children attend school, whether that be in Oconeo or Aiken. Thia tax hna kept our schools open in Ooonee about- three months -in tho year This is "inadequr o." We should have the pnblio schools open at least six months tn year all over tho State. The News and Courier wants this effected by looal taxation. Local taxation has been passed upou in this State and condemned- What wo waht ia a free Behool systom, whioh will cduoato tho children of tho State. Any system, good or bad, will fail without tbs means to mako it o' success. Money ie necessary. This can only be hnd by taxation. North Carolina has lovicd 12} mills for this purpose. Thrco or four milla and tho poll tax would run our schools for flvo or six months. For tho presont this is as much time as the people could sparo thoir children from their crops. B? lidos, as tho News and Courier states, as the State grows in wo<b the income from taxation would increase yearly and would thus givo us a larger lund for this purpose, rho taxation in South Carolina for school purposos is now a mere b&gatollol The Crime of Assassination. This detestable crime bas been brought pro ninently before tho publie again by reason of the recent assassination cf the Czar of Russia. All good citizens nnitit condemn such offences, whether committed on tho person of rulers or ho ruled. It is not a remedy for anything, but rather au aggravation of every remedy or hope ful improvement. There in a curious coincidence in tho assaBst lation of tho Czar and President Lincoln, which io far bas not come under our observation: In 1861 thc Czar of Russia by ukase freed twenly ,hree millions of serfs or slaves in his dominions ?nd invested them with all Hie rights of oilizon ihip. In 1863 President Lincoln by prcolama ion gave freedom to the slaves of the South ind afterwards (hoy were inveslod with all the 'tgltts of .citizenship. Ho.h in Russia and he United States these acts caused a oomplete ipheaval of sooiety. In the name of liberty nuoh wrong was done. The joy of the liberated vas hushed by the cries of suffering and want, liberty, with these great changes, vras only mother name for licence. Whether right or ?nmg these measures stirred the great public neart of Bussla and the United States. Aspi.'n ions were formed which could nevor be grati fied, and even among the freed people of both countries much discontent wes apparent, and ho wounds made by these radical nioasures lave not yet been entirely healed in either jountry. Strange tc say President Lincoln foll by tbf isnds of the assassin in 1866, when the people >t the North were realizing the joy of the lownfall of the rebellion, ns they called it. And but a few days ago the Czar or Russia fell jy the same foul means. Those two distin guished persons, who by their nots caused an ilpheaval of society, fell by tho bauds of those perhaps who had beOn crazed by these events. It is a sad thing to contemplate, but is none tho less true. But whatever may be the facts our duly is plain. Assassination is a foul crime and deserves ?he reprobation of every good man.

SaBASToroot, March 21.-The steamer ffn >ros, from Charleston via Malta, has arrived ier?. 3,000 bales of cotton of her oargo have ?ten hu rind. Doe? Guano Pay F 0?pt. Petty, of th? BparUDburg Spartan, et ?Us that just nfl er tb? war, when oaf people W?r? cautiously beginning the we of comrocr olal fertilisers, two objeettoas war? urged against tbeir use The first was that they would not pay. The second was that if they did In?rense the ?feld of cotton for a year or two, their con stant use would atisaulate the land so much that tho natural plant food contained lo tho soil would all be exhausted,' and the land, would become barren. In answer to these objections, the experience of the last ten years proves that any standard fertiliser will pay a fair per o tnt., if the preparation of the soil be good, and lb? crops bo well worked and gathered in time. On thia point there is not the least doubt. As to the second objcolion, we will Blate that, ?her? laud baa boon.stimulated by these fertilisers year, after i year, it has 'Invariably improved. Any land not subject to wash may bo improved by planting io cot toil every year, using about a. sack of guano to the nore, leaving all the stalks and unopened bolls on the land, and hauling from the barn yard ? few loads of ' manure or compost to faob aore. Persona who have given fertilizers a fair trial, say that they pay even better on corn than colton. Our County, ks Well as all our neighboring counties, are improving every year. The average condition cf'oar far mers ia belter than lt was nv? year* "togo. Take guano from them and they would be brought to a standstill. < ' 1 The Debts of Cities and Towns. The Charleston Ne ic s and Courier has a very interesting article on the debts of ths cities uhd towns of the United States i s shown by the reoent cens?a. Wo have roon, only for a recapitulation of these ntnounie in the aggregate aa follows: For the New England States a bonded debt of $113 103.183, or $.02 18 for each person; for tho Midd lo Atlantic States, a debt of $377 - 408.232, or $76 51 for each person. For the Southern States, a debt of $59 904.171. oi $55 80 for each person. Fur the Westorn States, a debt of $113.751.327. or $32 28 foi each person. 'It will bo observed that th< debt of tho Western Stutes is only $588,144 more than that of the New England States, whilo tho indebtedness, to each person, of th< latter is nearly twice that of the former which is partially offset by tho higher rate of interest the Western States have to pa; on more than one quarter of their emir debt above what is auv whore paid in Ne? England. A complete summary of the figure? pre seated in the table ebows that 300 towns am cities in the United Stutes haven tota), bandet indebtedness of $004,340.913. and tbut ll.' 350,772 men, women and children inhnbitinj those phtoes owo the comfortable little ?um ? $58 53 ono!?, drawing interest, as one of th permitios of living in them. Tho public dobt of tho United States atv of tho varioua States of the same are exclud ed from those figures. Anniversary Celebration of *th< Piedmont Literary Society o Adgor College.

The people eviDocd thei interest and appreciation of the exeroisos b Hiing tho building to the overflow, notwith standing the exceedingly threatening aepeot c the clouds. Many came from the surroundin country and were doubtless fully repaid for the! B flo rt by auch a pleasant repast. Tho President of the .Society, Mr. M. 8 3tribling, presided with dignified ease am natural grnoe and in a few select, striking an happy remarks informed tho attdienco of th end and motives of the Society, enlarging upo he benefits flowing from cultivated eloquenc und practiced debate.

Neither the Romans or Greeks could ha1 30inplained that, they Buffered injuatioe at tl muds of their respective champions. Mr. H. W. Kuhl man, the orator of the ocai ?ion, entertained and amused the audienoe by ?pioy discussion of the "Qoasips." The crain was "rich and iaoy" and delivered in a ve iffeotive ?lylo.
