The Latte Duel* The recent sad affair noar Richmond has given sotuo of our Northern es changes a theme for a rast deal of >humDr" and "sarcasm." The entire civilization of the Sooth i? portrayed in ludicrous style. - The IVorM haftjaet indulged in a Tcry bitter and galling article on this sub ject. "Whiskey and flaw-hand led pistols," "according to this able paper arc necessa ry parts of the ?5aily bread and apparel of every Southern man "Life is not safe," with us. When one contemplates that this unjust and base misrepresentation ot the South eomcB from the region where murder has just been leading a dance over the mutilated corpses of butchered humanity, where death has held high Court aud carnival, where "murder most foul" has r been the daily occurrence and has be come a theme of common import, aye, of jest, how hold and trite nod poor the "humor," how woak the "satire" of-our friend.

TYo clip from our cotemporary the " T?mr$f" the following remarks upon a. subject of vital importance to our merchants. fJ ho latest tyranny inaugurated i* that of the "Underwriters Association of the South" Insurance capital repre senting j^ngiish and Northern Com panies', lra? beer? bunded under n fixed agreement to raise the percentage of insurance to a figure which i.i u tux of i rightful magnitude. The pakvoblo oh j ject is to draw from the country nt ' largo, and particularly the Swish, i-nough in premiums to compensate for Chicago und Host on losses. Tho boi pnee wheel oi any pystcw o( trade or j bu&incts is legitimate competition, A merchant cannot prosecute his business in competition with others, if he places an unreasonable, profit on his wares. Nor can any app ieant fur public furor maintain his hold exept by a system of equal er adrautugeou' tmris. Why then shtuld not a responsible insurance company pursue its business independ and of any other company. So soon as a common tariff is adopted under the dictation of a combined association, st soon does each and every company be come the tool of a mooied monopoly for < pprcssion. It is quite os reasonable for laborers, farm hands, mechanics, lawyers, aud doctors to sacrifice their personal independence to a board, which will assess the value of their services, or far merchants in secret conclave to awcar nod bond themselves to put a cer tain per ccntage on every article they sell. This money oppression will lead .to ? resistance somewhere least expected, nnd is a short sighted policy. W e of the South must rogrt t that o'upital dc mauds so. much for its service, and dtpiocating all monopolies, we unhesita . Cingly denounce ft as a- bass scheme to build up Chicago and' Iio.<tx>u with Southern money.

It is timo that SA?u?Jk?ru merchants and propctty holders should establish some scheme of protcotiuu ngsiuet this outrageous monopoly All the anulogios go to prove that the nest stage of being is higher than this. 1 U-uth is an upward step in tbc ascend ing order of an endless life. It is a gain in what it leads to, and a gain in ilie te . strain!* it throws over tss here, the new sanction* it gives to right* living, the props it pats behind the wavering, stjih It is a gain in trial and trouble in the sweet and blessed hope of daliveruoee it drops on the heavy heart And it is-a gain in the heat and passion of the day by the glory bat streams down through its open door from on high.

Tbe Star* appropriation mads for Free Common .School purposes, for the cur rent focal year, is itself, insufficient lo sup ply the educational wants of Ihn people. In those States having the most popular, satis factory and successful systems'of Free com mon Schools, the schools a** alritos* wnnlly sustained by means of Local Schnei Taxes. 2d. Tbe amount of Foil Tax collected in each of the several School Districts is, of itself, insignificant. 3d. The Local Scheel Tss raised in- any School restrict will cS 4f great servies as auxilliar* and supplementary to' the Slate appropriation and Fdll Tar. 4th. The hokml School Tax1 is' paid' into the County Treasury, and is di.ectly subject to the order of the Board of School Trustees countersigned by the County School Com missioner." In ac tr-rdnncr with the above Circular and in Srder fhs.i an amount necessary to liquidate the indebledness of this important B laaeh of the administration of the County, for tbe ll'.seal year next ensuing. I would suggest the importance of a liberal lax levy by ths several school Districts for the sup port of MS Free Common Schools. F. R. McKINLAY, County School Commissioner, Orangeburg County S.
