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

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.

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?

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

every year. The average condition cf'oar far

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
