Last night there occurred in our town one of thc most remarkable and signifi? cant political meetings ' that has been hold in our State for sometime. For some weeks, notice of this meeting had been most industriously circulated by the Hon. Mr. Donaldson, among thc colored people, and, of coitrso, had reached tho cars of the whites. Thc great hypooritc of thc First Congres? sional District, B. F. W'hitfcmoro, was to oddrcss his dcor constituency ni the colored Methodist Church. Thither thc people went. Tho church was filled with a large crowd, of which thc colored people formed about two thirds: thc whites about thc other third. A coloro i man named Smith, ol' Darlington, opened the mooting with a blun t ?-pecch, the burden of which was to denounce Shrewsbury, representative of thc county in thc Slate Legislature. On taking his seat, Shrewsbury rose, and for three hours held thc audience apoll bound by his unsparing exposure of tho unparalleled rusc.ility and unmiti? gated hypoorisy of B. F. Whittcmorc ind ll. J. Donaldson. There these worthies sat and listened, amidst the ipplauso of thc whole bouse, to one of the most faithful portraitures of thc manner in which his people had been imposed upon undor the guise of patri? otism and religion. Ile proved to his people that thiyr so called friends were but ravening wolves in sheep's clothing, ind that to return Whittcinore tc UongrcsB would but disgrace themselves ?nd prove to tho American people that the colored people were unworthy thc rights or privileges of suffrage. He de? fied uny ono to assert tl ot ho had, as t member of thc Legislature, ever recei? ved u bribe. During tho delivery of this rcmarkablo ?peech, ho gave tho liberty to ?ny one to question any ossertion or proof ol Iiis, stating he would exercise the satur liberty when Whiltomorc rose to speak Whittcinore began to speak, stalin; it the outset that ho wns no criminal lor had he done anything that wat vron ff, seeking to make tho imprcssiot .hat ho was an innooont, porscoutcc nan, and that he had never dcoeivoc ho people Then roso Shrewsbury ti t.-.k where where tho forty acros and tht nulo. Donaldson ordored - Shrewsbury u tnko his scat, saying that no qucs ions would bo allowed; and that it ht lid not ho would order the nogroos ti ;ako him out of the houso. Shrewsbury old him to givo tho order. It wai lone ; but tho friends of Shrowsbiir rvoi o too many, and ufter half an bou >f yelling and euralng, Donaldson, fear lng that his cwu head might bo broken idjouroo't thc. toestiog. Thoa tb? gmt carpet bagger bu .gals been rebuked, and bj those who1 bat ?fer ?ear? ago, carried him io triumph on their shoulders. - -V If the oolorad people will nominate Shrewsbury the whites, without respect to partj, will ooite with then io send, log him to Congress* _ ?

THBTPPHOPBI?TI?N BILL. The careful attention ot'the tax-pay? ers of thc country-white and colored is direoted to thu Appropriation Bill, as passed at the late session of the Legislature of the State, for the year comnieu?iug the 1st of November, ?869, and re published ou another column It is certainly a remarkable document. Let the country give it a calm and dis? passionate examination, and we venture the assertion, that, twelve months hence, there will scarcely be found a man, even among those from whoso hands it sprang, who will exhibit the hardihood and recklessness involved in a defence of it. Extravagance unchecked, self appro? priation, and waste of tho hurd-earned money of the people of the State, is unblushingly exhibited upon its entire faeo-from one ond to the other of it. No wonder tho shrewd LESLIE, when showing up the corruptions of sorao of his party, and selecting the most vulner? able parts of the Radical body, into which to thrust his two-edged sword, declared,, in his recent speech, nt tho close of the session, touching this Appropriation Bill, "if a mau should stand up and "criticise that document truthfully, "it would darun the whole of us." In order to endeavor to lead tho pub? lic mind to thought and investigation of this vitally importaut matter, we shall allude to a few of its leading points ; and, as a journalist, we do so with the same fearlessness^ and independence with which we have ever declared that which we believed to be truth sud promotive of tho publio weal. And first, by comparison : The Ap? propriation Bill of 1866, passed at the regular session of that year, amounted, in round numbers, to four hundred and twenty thousand dollars. The Bill of Expense for 1869, foots up one million and seventy thousand dollars ! In three years, we ha70 an increase of appropria? tion, for the support of thc State Gov? ern ment, o? six hundred and fifty thou? sand dollars ! To say uothiug of tho difference of at least twenty-five per ocnt. more in value of ourroooy, botwee n n ow and then. Add this to the expendi? tures for county purposes, which aro still heavier in proportion, and we have at least a million of money, extracted from thc industrial earnings of the State, under the guise of nocessary publio outlay, in excess of what il was found ne? cessary to expend in 1866. No wonder we see around us the glitter and gran? deur of wealth, when the mass of the people are struggling with necessity ! No wonder tome tread their Turkey carpets, 'mid palace hulls, whilst'others walk their baro floors. 'But sotno of the items of this Bill of plunder, as it should be culled, will striko the reader forcibly, as for in? stance : "For thc three code commie i one tv. fen thousand fivo hundred dollars.' The lawyer* say that this wonderful document, which lias '.'?fitly complicated and thrown into confusion the whole piatiee of tho law in this State, und which hus cost us $10,500, is almost, verbatim, a copy of thc New York Code. The people, then, are made to pay ten thousand five hundred dollars for simply transcribing this document -tho mechanical labor of this, no doubt, performed by clerks, who were also paid. "For contingent accounts for ;the ex? penses of tho general elections of 1870, fifteen thousand dollars." In 1866 this item was put down at ono thousand dol? lars, including all the expenses of thc elections. "For tho State Constabulary, thirty thousand dollars," and this in addition to ono thousand five hundred dollars specially to tho Chief Constable. An expense only necessary to sustain tho corrupt men in power. "Foi the contingent account of the Statu, including payment of oxpenses of tho Qonoral Assembly, one. hundred (ind twenty five thousand dollars." Also the Additional sum of thirteen thou? sand dollars under the samo heading. Per contra: in 1666, "for tho pay of the mombo rs of tho Logislaturo and the At? torney Qonoral and Solicitors during tho present sossioo, twenty noven thou? sand dollars." Tho " Adjutant and Inspootor (jenorAl's Department is particularly worthy of. noto : Wo find tweuty five hundred dollars put down as salary this officer meanwhile filling the position of speaker of the House of Representa? tivos, and but partially in disohargo of the duties of his ornoo-twenty* fivo hundred dollars for contingent aooount, and fifty thousand dollars to defray ibo expenses of enrollment, to be disbuned ?jr thc AJfistaat and. Inspector General, ou tb? order of thc Governor, To tho extravagant salarie* of ?Mri of thc Surte officers, besides aa extrava gaot amount for clerical aaaiitance, a contingent ?mount of os? thousand dollars, i? ?ddod- tb? Utter entirely Unknown to the appropriation of 18?$. Wc might go on to itemise this Bill of Radical citravaganee, but enough for the present. ( - TM* rMmtm MBuoLcnoifs. The anti radical papers of the State, j baye heartily and folly and earnestly endorsed the resolutions adopted by tbe oonferenoe of editors st Columbia. And with but one single exception we believe, these papers hare also subsequently ex? pressed tho opinion that said resolutions wero endorsed by tho mass of the intel ligont people of their sections. We oaonot but feel, and so express it to the people, that the prospect before us for an improvement of our State Governmental affairs, is now more en? couraging than at any time since the organization of the Radioal party in our midst. We desire simply to say, at present, that those resolutions neither expresa or imply anything touching State righto, or national politics. The whole move? ment is si iii ply one of effort-of honest effort-by accepting and acting in good faith under the provisions of the law, as now constituted-to reform our State Government, and bring about a condi? tion of things under which all may live and prosper. To do this, equal justice to all, low taxation and honest Govern' mcfi/,'will bc our watchwords. Upon this platform, all honest men oan aud will stand. We are pleased to know that favorable opinions have already bceu cxpesscd by numerous of the more iutelligout and conservative of thu col? ored people of this section, and we call upon our people generally to further the good 0UU8C of conciliation with them. FINISHED TOE JOB. Dispatches from New York, under dato of April 2, inform os that Wendell Philip's Anti-slavery Society will disband on thc 9th of April, at Appollo Hall, where they are to bold their final meet This is equivalent to the disbauding of the Radical party, for that party, in all its ramifications-its successes and its excesses-fouud its existence, its vital breath, in the agitation of slavery, and its power and popularity in its en? croachments upon the South, by reason of that agitation. 'Thank God, the eud of this disturbing matter appears in view. The great lever which has so long been brought to bear in oppression of the South, is at last to lose its pow? er. Let wisdom and prudence now guide our couusels, and strength will again return to our arms aud prosperity to our borders. RURAL CAROLINIAN FOR APRIL Ou time and crowded.

Thoo hold your sides, aud let it como. The plea of Mr. Whittcmorc, argued so disastrously to his clients by General Rutlcr, that tho money all wout lo the poor, has revived the old story ot the miller who sometimes hud crazy fits, iu which ho always imagined himself to bc tho Lord judging the world. On those occasions he wpuld put ou a paper crown, ascend a pile of meal bugs with great dignity, and call his neighbors in succession. The same ones wcro always judged; and thoy were millers of his vicinity. Tho first summoned was Huns Schmidt : "Hans Schmidt, stand oop. Hans, vat ispeen your pishnoss in dat ordoi vorld ?" "I vas a miller, ? Lort." '.Vas you a joost mon ?" "Veli, ven dor vitter vas low and thc pishness is pad, O Lort, 1 somuditues dukes a leotto exdra doles." And in succession nil were tried and immediately sentenced to go over to tho goats. Last ol'all the miller invari? ably tried himself in the following style : "Yuoob Millor, stand oop. Yacob, vat VMS your pishness in dat ordor vorld ?" "I vos miller, O Lort." "Vas you always a ioost mon. Yacob?"

There ere few subjects, when coosid ered io ?ll their bearing? upon society, of more interest, than Female Educa* tion. We mean, the intellectual and moral culture of the female mind. When in prospective, we glance into the future, and speculate upon its pow? er ?od influence upon coming events, the imagination is invited to rove at liberty in the most fanciful conception* of its wonderful influence, to the latest futurity. Or in ? retrospective view, wherein wo perocive its bearing in the history of the past, what food for thought ! Its influence upon the rise and fall of em? pires ! Its controlling influence in the world's history ! From the earliest ages to the present time. When we reflect, that the early training of men is committed almost exclusively to females, we perceive a fearful responsibility resting upon them, a responsibility which is seldom realized in any proportion to its magnitude, and which oannot be competently discharged without the proper preparation for the Herculean,tu?':, committed to their sa? cred charge Kingdoms that have risen aud flourished, shed thc blood f thou? sands, aud in turn fulleo victims cf others still more powerful j all the good and all the evil done by them, may be ascribed in an eminent degree to mater? nal training. Gould we draw aside the impenetrable veil, which conceals thc future and charge a thoughtless motlier with the blood of tnilliun*,* she might exclaim with the indignation of one of old, whoo charged with future crimes, "Is thy servant a dog that she should do this thing." . But when she restrains not the unbri? dled passions ol her wayward son, hav? ing never been trained to control her own, trains him not to govern himself, she becomes in a great measure eharg . able with his excesses when placed in power, being called upon perhaps to participate in the. councils of the na? tion. When we behold the sweet smile which brightens the placid features of an innocent babe, indicating the pence which reigns within a breast free hore cares and the corroding stings of an accusing consoienee ; let us remember if the mother bu incompetent to the trust imposed, that breast, evory pulse of which beats calmly, from nil malice and envy free, may be harrowed np f?v bitter remorse and fearful forebodings of future retribution. That heart, which is now pure from actual transgression, may become a den of wickedness, all stained by sins of blackest hue. Those tender arms unused to crimp, mny become the perpetrators of deeds so dark, as to ?tain with foulest blot the future pages of his country's h ist o ry. That lovely form of fuir proportion, portending manly ptrenirth und Grin constitution, moy, through a mother's neglect to guide his steps, become an emaciated frame, tho seat of loathsome disease, disgusting alike to himself and friends around Kut all this resembles only thc first stroke of the skillful! artist, the first touch on the painter's canvass, when about to represent the vilest monsters of his imagination. We might proceed and pencil out the fouled pictures, and when careless mothers have found the likeness of their sons, we may charge the hideous forms on them.
