STRAIT. LATIMER AND MoLAUBIK BLACK-LISTED. Washington, March 27.?Quite a sensation was created in tho South Carolina colony today and cspecia'ly among the politicans. Congressmen Strait and Latimer, who came here upon a telegram from Senator Iiby yesterday morning, called to see the Fourth Assistant Postmaster General this ???m.t 1Q o'clock. In a converiatn/n nirrut South Carolina politico a discovery was mad# which morii fiod those gentlemen very much, vix : That they had been placed upon the black list and were not entitled te make notnina'ions of Democratic postmasters on account of being third partyites. They found that with them McLaurin ulse was black-listed. These gentlemen were very indignant nnd pretested that their Democracy was us good and true as that of any man in South Carolina : that this was an unkind, untrue and sneaking statement. incj iril UggrkCWU suuu nim, n imwui positive evidence, at tho cx-Coogrcssmcn from their districts. The rule has prevailed in Congress that Democrats who are defeated by Republicans under Democratic udmin gtiatious control the patronage in their districts in Northern States. These gentlemen believe that it was an unfair advantage that had been tukeu of them by the ex-Congressmen from these dictriots. The Fourth Assistant Foalmnster General was surprised at their declaration and gave them very little satisfaction. They left the postofhee and went to the Senate chamber nd had a conference with Senator Irby. As soon ns the Senate adjourned, Sccator 1 Irby and Messrs. Strait and Latimer went to the Fostoffico Department. Senator Irby told General Maxwell that he had called to sec him as the Democratio State Chairman of South Carolina, and not as a Senator , and thnt these men had been treated with great injustice; that they had defeated their Democratic oppoueuts at the Democratic primaries atid were the regular nominees ef tlic Democratic party in their districts, and were the only true representatives of the people. Gcaeral Maxwell then invited Senator Irby to go and see the Fostmastcr General. The statement W8S repeated to Mr. Bissell, who promised that the whole matter would be lalcen linrb r /.nnel.loenlJa.. justice would be done as soon as the rush was over. Your correspondent asked Senator Irby if lie had any idea who was the author of this report, lie said that he had. but what he knonr was given to hitn in confi'lenco and ho cannot reveal the names of his informants without their consent.?Sj>ecial to Register. Tit.lmasite Btoon or Bluest Stain.?"A few days ago the Columbia Register came out with a tlaming dispatch which was headed: rillmauites draw first blood,' *a great day's work for Senator Irby.' "The body of the dispatch showed among other things that Senator Irby by his masterly influence had secured a good position in Washington for ex-Judge 'Townscud. "Now, let u" look ut the record of this man, who is the recipient of such marked favors at the hands ot Scnntor Irby. Let us xaaine the record of the first man from the ranks of Cleveland-haters who is rewarded with office. "C. 1*. Towosend, from Beunettsville, Marlboro county, South Carolina, whom Senator Irby has had appointed to a place in the department of the iuterior inWashington, is a Republican. He was elected a Republican judge by the Republican Legislature in 1872, re-clccted in 187C. when his olee tion, along with all the other judges in the State, %vns declared illegal. In 1878. the Democratic Legislature elected Judge Hudson in bis place. ?TaamnanJ jmxxnarlarl C.rnpn^ Dicker McLanc for Governor egainst Hugh Thompson. "In 1889. Townsend was applicant for district attorney for South Carolina under President Harrison. "In 1892, Townsend tried to run in the Democratic primary for solicitor and was beaten by J. M. Johnson, a conservative. "This is the first blood Senator Irby has drawn. This is the representative of tho Tillman faction first to be honored. "We submit that if such men are to be heralded to the world as representatives of South Carolina Democracy, better put the poll list in a hat and draw names indiscriminately for high government positions. If Senator Irby had rnusscked the State he could scarcely have done worse than appoint a radical judge who was turned eut of office by the tidal wave of Democracy which gave us a Hampton for a Scott, a Moses and a Townsend."?Spartanburg Herald. Fkabvul and Dkstbuctivu Phknomknok. ?Panama, March 24.?A tremendous phenomenon has occurred in the department of Canca, in the republic of Colombia. The volcano of Dolcano Sotara has been unusually active and the people of that region were greatly excited by the rumbling of the earth and the extraordinary violence of the volcanic eruptions. Suddenly, while the volcano was belching forth tiaine and eraoke to a great height, the eaitli began to shake as if the most violent convulsion was in progress, and the mountain ridge called < rni uoma sunn along its entire extension. The luhabiiants in the viciniiy who had a chance to escape fled in terror from the scene, and not too aoen, as the sunken ridge Uaiuined up ilie three rivers, and added desolation to the terror of the earthquake and volcano. Twelve persons are known to have perished, and many cattle were destroyed. More destruction is feared hs the rivers, whose usual channels have been obstructed, are rising rapidly. Weddrd im Dr.ath.? Pass Christian, Miss., March 16.?A most startling discovery was made here today of tlie bodies of Miss Julia Nunneinacher, daughter of Herman Xunnemacher, a prominent merchant of Milwaukee, and William E. Miller, alio of Milwaukee, both of whom had been shot through the head. This afternoon a young boy found the bodies in a pine thicket on the north side of the railroad, about '200 yards from the depot. From the position in which they were lying the supposition is that the young man must have first shot his companion through the left templo and then shot himself behind the right ear ,and death in both instances must have resulted instnaily. The affair was evidently premedita'ed. as Mr. Miller had borrowed a pistol from one of the citizens on that morning. The deadly weapon was found by in a side, where it had fallen after he had fired the fatal shot. Editor Williams, of the Greenville Neict, writes from Washington to his paper that Senator Butler, having signed ez Judge Townsend's paper under the misapprehention that he was Attorney General Townsend, (a very different man,) has withdrawn hie endorsement, and that bis commission will probably not be issued.

A report being circulated in this community that the Heath Cotton Company, of Charlotte, N.

We take the explanation from the Charlotte Observer, and it is fully corroborated by a letter from a reliable gentleman in that city, who is in a position te be conversant with the affairs of the company : The Heath Cotton Company, of this city, has dissolved by mutual consent. The Messrs. Heath wll conduct a cotton business on their own account hereafter, and " I- ^ C L , 11. u. o?? ?.ntl Q. A. Howell will organize a separate firm. Mr. John VanLandingham, also a member of the late firm, has not yet made his arrangements fer the future. tpi&" A despatch from Washington, dated March 27th, states that Senator Irby was too sick to leave his bed that day, and had been unwell for two or three weeks. His case reminds us of what the old negro said on coining out of the water, spluttering and blowing, when lie was baptized: "Some gemnien am gwine to lose a nigger if dis d?n foolishness ain't stopped." South Carolina will lose aSciiAtor if Irby continues in Niit'h ho.I hftflllk ant) Jnn' # o )>i? medical advisers. The other Senators may not mist him, but, nevertheless, in his death this State would be minus its minor Senator. The despatch says: "For the past three weeks Dr. Sampson Tope has been attending the Senator, but now he has gone home, Dr. Strait, the "Reform" Congressman, ie a (ministering to him. . ? . judr 'ublic meetings have been held in I this town for the purpose of considering the question of who would be most acceptable among the numerous candidates for the office of Postmaster. Nothing definite was decided on at either meeting, but at the meeting Inst Monday n resolution was adopted recommending either one of the following candidates as being aeceptable te the patrons of this postoffice : R. T. Gee, M. A. Moore. J. W. McLure, W, M. Gibbes, J. A. Brown, L. P; Murphy and R. W. Harris. There are other candidates for the office : N. G. Liitlejohn, J. W. Gregory, A. C. Lyles and Jesse L. Swink, who live in other townships , but the feeling is pretty general that the office should bo given to a candidate living within its delivery circuits. w tfdf Wade Haines, the alleged murderer of Miss Florence llornesby, in Richland county, who was sentenced to be hung last Friday, was respited by Governor Tillman just before the time of execution, to the 21st of April. From what we have read iu the Columbia papers, we think the respite was not only prudeDt but merciful. A majority of the people in that county appear to have strong doubt ns to Haine3 bemor ?li? guilty party; while the prisoner himself persistently protests that he is innocent of tho crime. The respite was read to him during the religious exercises preparatory to the expected moment of execution, when the prisoner and his friends had given up all hope for a respite or pardon,but up to that time he solemnly asserted that not only was he innocent of the orinn himself, but he knew nothing about it. Governor Tillman visited the prisoner and talked with him in his cell the day before, and, no doubt, be* came impressed with a doubt as to his guilt, so tempering mercy with #he stern demands of justice, gave him the benefit of that doubt, in the hope tliaf, if innocent of the crime, some new light may appear to reveal the guilty party and save him from an ignominous death.

A 8nut and a Delusion. 1 Wa are not inclined lo enter an unprofitable Controversy about political rings and (I who bare or who bare n't a voice In nomf- t nating n candidate for Governor or any E other State officer for 8outh Carolina: but we will merely premise that if Tillman, S Irby and Gary were to get together in a< Washing'on or Columbia and make up nuoh o a slate os we published last week, is there p any man in Union that believes the State v Executive Committee, of which Irby ie if Cha;rman and bosrf, would refuse to endorse c it? Not they. And any demoorat outside that ring would have no choice in the mat- o ter but to submissively vote for it, or be de- o nouncel as a "boiler" and "independent," a and candidates on an anti-ring lioket would be howled down and read out of the demo- n critic party, with their followers. Talk a about the people now having the privilege of a selecting a candidate for Governor any o more than they had before the Farmers' a Mavement was inaugurated, is political claptrap. h Why Tillman and Irby bi^vo such com- t! plcte control of the machinery or organixa- a tion of the democratic niriv nf ihi? si?'? through tuo State Executive Committee, that it is considered treason to oppose them, it personally, or their mandates in manipulat- t< ing (ho party's movements. c If such matters were "cut and dried" by o the "Columbia ring" under the former tl organization of the democratic party and g was such a great crime against the r people, wc ask if thore is not a similar ling a now in Columbia, controlling the choice of t< a Governor and every other State oflicial ? ti And is not the crime equally as heinous now. as then? We know that vrdtrs have been issued from the Columbia ring, within ^ the past three years,that certain men should .( be nominated or rejected for office, and the mandates were scrupulously obeyed. Don't we nil know that democracy in Q South Carolina has been submerged and ^ cimplctely lost sight of in the lurbulant ( waters of Tillmanism ? The test of a man's ( Democracy in this State js his voting f?r Tillman, and the best of Tillman's Democra- c cy is proscribing of every individual or a ii community thai does not endorse him and F the Shell manifesto, written by him. And is it ? not plain to every intelligent honest thinking j Democrat that as minv nominal ai there are plain and fancy drinks in a city 11 barroom, have e'ulier been born outright or ^ strengthened from disgust at the dogmatic f assumption of one or two men attempting to v control official positions in the interest ef n their personal political friends ? Is it not time for Democrats to get back upon the solid platform of Democratic principles, and not blindly follow the beck and call of one t or two men ? ? We always vote the ticket nominated by t the State Democratic Committee, but we are not so green as to think that we, as one of t the people, had any voice in selecting any * cand date on it, or not to know that llic [ whole matter had been "cut and dried," f perhaps before the commit!co met, and all we bad to do was to "follow the leader," ? and vo:e it blind.

[We can't understand our friend's legio in ^sumiag that farmers in debt must raise a large crop of cotton to meet their obligaions," while it wi;l be folly for those out of iebt to do so. It seems te us that if a small rop, costing leu to produce it, will bring as nuch cash as a larger one, costing more to iroduce it, the farmers having obligations to aeet in the fall, are the very ones to adopt ho small crop system.

These definitions make teaching the teacher's act, instruction the pupil's act, and cduoalien the result ef both. The practioal difficulty in using these terms in such radically distinct senses is the fact that they are imbedded in literature as nearly synonymous , being often used as identical and interchangeable, and the same is true of the cognate terms, teacher, instructor and educator. Teaching is the application of suoh means to'the pupil's mind as to occasion those mental activities that result in knowledge, power and skill its threa immediate awfi co-ordinate ends. Teaching is the occasion, the pupil'B activity the cause, and knowledge, power or skill the result. Teaching includes beth instruction and training; instruction being that part of teaching which results in knowledge, and training that pari which results in power and kill. While these different processes are distinguishable in thought, they are not separable in practice. Instruction is the act of presenting objects and subjects to the pupil's mind in such manner as to occasion those menial activities that result in knowledge. Instruction is the occasion, the pupil's mental activity the cause, and knowledge is the result. Trainiog is the occasioning and uireciiug of the pupil's activities in euoh a manner at to result ia power and' skill, mental, moral and physic il. Training involves doing or practice, with power end skill ss ends ; as to train an army of soldiers, to -rwes?Si .. ? < >, . - ? The words training and drill are practiol'y synonymous. Education is any process or act which results in knowledge, or power, or skill. It includes not only teaching and learning, but all acts, processes and influences wliicb occasion these results, whether as schelar* ship, culture, habit er chsraoter. Thus we see that education is a more oompreheusive term than teaching, and teaching more comprehensive than instruction.

I do net think I weuld use them as yet, lest people should think you did not know how to spell. Probably before you are men and women many of them will hare come into common use. Indeed, tyro of them csn be found now in the columns of Tho Independent and several other leading journals : Present Way. Proposed Change. Liable Liabl Know No Heart Hart Earih Erth Intense Incens Through Thru Love Luv A writer in The School Journal remarks thus upon it: "The teachers wi!l tell the children that to learn the eurreal spelling is, at present, a necessity ; but after awhile spelling will be mado easier and reasonable. A child wastes time aod mental energy, whieh could be employed in useful studies, while it is memorizing t-:-e lie, e-y-e eye, n-i-g-h nigh, c-r-y ory, g-u-y guy ; and when called upon to spell by, the poor child is utterly at a less whether to spell it b-y-e, or b-u-y, or b-i-g-h, or b-y." And at this point a bright young student of Union lifis a startled face to cry out, "la , there no nay to stop them ? They'll just | ruin our language, and it is so much easier to remember and understand words that sound alike if they are spelled differently. , Can't we do something to make them let our I spelling a'sns?"
