Obsequies of the late H. P. Feugas, 1
We weie assigned a part yesterday <
in discharging the melancholy duty, of n
committing to the tomb in St. Lawrence I
(Catholic) Cemetery, the mortal re. I
mains of l'im whose name heads this 1
paragraph. Mr. Feugan died at his r
residence on Broad street, after a briof f
illness on Tuesday evening last, aged a
sixty-four years. The respect and I
esteem entertained for lin in this con- I
munity, were fully evinced by the largo '
concourse of mourners and friet,ds who
filled Cathedral Chapel, in QuPen-street,
on the occasion of the celebration of his
funeral rites. A greater solemnit.y
could not well have pervaded any as.
remblage than did thi. as the imposing
rites of the Catholic Church were nor.
formed ove tlh retnains, by tho Rev.
Dr. Quigley and the Rev. Father Cro.
ghan, the first officiating in the altar
serv;ces, and the latter pronouncing an C
-oulogium on the deceased, which was as
truthful and eloquent as it was touch.
ing and deserved The late H. P.
Fengas has lived in Charleston the
greater part of his life, and although
modest and retiring it his nature, was
always looked up to and regarded as a
fit representative of as many tf the
higher virtues as any man within the
circle of our large acquaintance. He
certainly was a model citizon, a model
friend ard a model relative, and wi1h
these added to the fact that he hiad
greatly endeared himself through life to
the young as a teacher and particuilar
friend, inveats his loss with a sorrow
'that is ethaps almost universal in our
ci'y. Mr. Feugns has left a widow to
mourn him, and although this dispensa
.tion to her is indeed heavy, she has thie
solace, that the'pure. and beautiful life
he had led on earth, is the surest test
she can have that Jo has now but com-I
menced to live another and much hap
pier one in Heaven. We mingle our
warmest sympathies with here in this
mournful event.-Charle(on Courier.
Do Our Farmars Want Proteotion?
It scoms to ho the chief ain of ,i.
class of persons who pride tihens.-ives
on the title of Protectionist to try to
-change the nattural occupation of our
people into some other that. does not Eit
them. From the ,orure of our soil. the
vast body of our pople are farniere.
This, it is inaintainod, is all wrong; we
must become a nation of manufacturers.
So the man who could make iirree
-dollars a day by farming must work in
iron for one dollar, and the general
public must make up the loss by a taxa
tion called tnriff, which assumes to fix
the price by daw for every thing we
-consume. If we were naturally mantu
facturers, the same people would shout
bosannas to agriculturn, and would try
to force tue to proditco what nature never
fitted us to produ'ce a;t all.
Of al11 occupations by which man
gains his hyving, none is so long-lived, so
healthy, happy, and congenmai as t.hat of
the vast, majority of our peonle
farming. Out of every thouisand "farm.

The fact is, that large cities commence
the destruction of maunkind, which is
facilitated so largely by herding themt in
close, ill.ventilated factories. English
economnists ha~ve always declared that

WINNSBORO.
Wednesday Morning, May 18, 1870.
A Interview With a* Native
Georgian.
As we got upon the cars at Chester,
in our way to Winnsboro, last Sun
lay, a mulatto brass band, with in
itrumonts strangely out of unison,
mtraged the religious associations of
he day by blowing harsh discord up
)u the air. A very respectable old
gentlemen, sitting near us in front,
who we afterwards learned was from
Jiarke County, Georgia, and had boon
President of a Railroad there from
18 to 53, turned and asked an expla
ltinn. We jooosely replied, that
be band was colebr:atiug "the Fif
eenth Commandment," which so far
is we could gather, reads, "Vote the
Rtepublican ticket next fall." We
hen told him that the County School
Jommissioner of Chester had been
sked by a lady, what was the mean
ng of the band, the procession, and
soiso going on the day before, and he
replied, "celebrating the fifteenth
amendment." The lady asked "what
is the fifteenth amendment I" To
which the sapient dispenser of litera
ture and knowledge to Chester Coun
ty is said to have replied, "Well, I
don't know exactly what it is myself."
The old man then inquired as to
the ado,ption of the New York code in
South Carolina, and upon our explain
ing how the constitution commanding
nr South Carolina laws to be codi
led, had been interpreted to mean the
aopying off the printed code of
New York, he seemed both amused
and outragr~. After a long pause,
lie b.ai,l "W e will have another fight,
Sir. It is obliged to oome. We can
not escape the fate of all nations
since the crent ion of the world. We
will have another fight, so soon as the
S3outh gets ready for it. Is not the
hatred and antagonism spreading ?
De not all hate the Yankee, and is it
not going down to our children and
grand-children to hate them?i Is it
not a sacred dut.y to bate them, and
to hate themi with an everlasting ha
trod ? It is obliged to come to an
ther fight, and the next time, the
South being prepared, will whIp
hem."
HIe then went into a detail of soir.e
of the pilfering and plundering of
of Sherman's army, of their stealing
the books of (private libraries, ran'
sacking bureaus and drawers for eloth
ing and jewelry, and drew such a pica
ture of outrage, that we wore suir
prised at ourselves to find how quick
ly the spirit of a fight could be roused
in us, by a plain unvarnished recital
sf the wrongs infioted on us during
the war, "Yes," we said to onr
selves, "yes ; he is right. The mem9.
ry of these facts cannot die. They
will make their impression on the In
genious minds of our Southern youth,
md our full rights in the Union, or a
loody fight to break out, is, indeed,
eertainty of the future,"
The old gentleman then wet% o to
lay, that the North had perhaps lout
ts liberty permanently, and was des.
mned to be ruled by a despotism, but
aot so the South, because she bad
ever been whlliogly enslaved, and It
vas not in the char,soter of her people
A) bubmnit to an Asistic despotism for

aid he, so far as I can learn, are com
plately confident that they lhave fied
,hings permanently dowp South ; but
think I know the blood, and it will
ot submit to Asiatic government a
ay longer than it can help It. T'he
ountry is too large. The West will
plit off. Tbe South will Bght. An.
ther war is inevitable."

fully, however, it would disclose a
fearful decrease of the race.
Swell farmers from ..,the. North,r:4o.
believed, would come here, and soog
er than Euroipeans. But it .would be
a slow increase of population, and
they would be .thorough Southern
men. We need not fear any. man
who identifies himself with our soil.
But the Southern people intend to
keep the control of their land for
themselves,
Manufactures would, doubtless,
spriug up, but would not increase our
population much. W o need then to
assist our own poor people, and un
doubtedly will huve thaw.
Very soon, the Southern whites
would control -the Negro vote. To
this the Yaokee Coagress would ob.
jeoct, and pass bills of pains and pen
alties ; but no inry in the South
would convict. This would negessi
tate military coinn,isdions, and that,
said the old gentleman very coolly,
will bring on a fight. That Sort of
tyranny is just obliged to come to an
end.
We could not but .feel inferested
by the old man's talk. He evidently
had both a mind to think with, and a
heart with which to feel. The little
picture he drew of the vandalism of
the Fedenal army opened our eyes to
the magazine of passion that the fu
ture agitator for revolution has at
his command. There it is ; and
twelve millions of brave people must
be exterminated, to extinguish . it.
Who then, can foretell the future, if
radicalism is not overthrown ? if con

"Corsair" and Education.
"Corsair," the classie correspond
ent of the Charleston News, suggests
that the Reform party make their
neglect of education the strong point
of attack upon the Radical party in
South Carolina. If the Reform party
thoughtlessly do so, instead of letting
well enough alone, the State will
have to carry, next year, an addition
al tax of a half million at least for
Yankee School-marms. The Radical
party, through the Freedmen's Bu.
reau and otherwise, have done much
more for the education of the Freed
men, than the members of the Reform
party have done. 'Thi fact alone wilt
answer fifty well-put points of neglect.
They have not done all that is possi
ble, bat they have done more than
the Reform party, and as much as
was judieious, through State legislsa
tion, under the circumstances. They
have not added to the t-axes of a peo
ple, who, out of one short crop, have
paid two taxes to the State and one to
the Union, and ver-y heavy taxes, for
the purpose of promoting education
at present. In this, they have done
wisely. Northern benevolence, they
knew, would be continued for some
time longer, until the State somewhat
recuperated, and the blacks sro satis
fied. Next year, they will vote more
money, no doubt, but gradually, if let
alone. Taunt and badger them, how
ever, and our laud-holders will have
to foot a very heavy odueation bill,
next year
Let us, too, exatniro the special
elharg~e of' "Corair." It i: thatM.
Jilison does not undertamke the support
of the Howard School of Columbia.
hlow could lie do it with the means at
his command t Ricbland's share of
the $50,000 appropriation is about
$1,600 at most., and of the 'poll-tax
perhaps $4,000, that is, about $5,00
in all. Of this, say $2,00. is given to
Free schools for the whites, and it will
leave but $3,000 for the blacks
throughout the entire county, and the
whole of it would hardly pay the teni
teachers of the Columbia floward
School. Mr. Jilleon, then, simply can.
not do it. But we know who can, and
who will. Why7, the Columbia Radi
cal Coneil, we predict, will make
"Corsair" and the GuardMan, and
othera who are not content to let well
enough alone, pay the bill, an~d that

the Radicals that they neglect educa
tion, when it In well-known that they
wish to make it a national j,,b, and

considered at the next session of Con.
t
gress for that purpose, is simply ag
ging on additional burdens. Why,
their educational bureau is to be the
R.adioal propaganda. . It is short
sighted to make such a charge. A
few figures answer it. In this $tate,
education has been postponed, it is C
trues and would be wisely postponed a
littlo longer, if let alone; but as a
party, the Radicals have done for

Yesterday a coal-beaver, who had at
taiuod to the patriarchal age of '4
years, after oarry ing a half to of coal
up three flights of stairs, was invited
by hie employer to take a drink in a
Bowery saloon. After imbibing, he
remarked: "There's no strength to
the whiskey round here." "how so 1"
inquired the gentleman. '"ure I've
had about thirty drinks of the crather
in ine this morning, and divil the
whimper of it do 1 feel now." "Good
heavens! IHow much does it take to
affect you !" "Such stuff as they have
in this country, I could drink a gallon
of without tazing me a bit. I'd
rather have a drop of old potheen 'at
home,' than a demijohn of the whiskey
in these parts."
The bar-tender overheard these ro.
marks and jokingly offered to giv him
a pint of whiskey if he would drink
it ull on the spot. The coal heaver
eagerly conseated,'and it was nieas.
urod out and poured down by him at
a single breath, to the horror of the
witnesses. The phenomenal toper
went out as straight as a liberty pole,
tand in the course of an hour returned
apparently sober and desirous of try
ing it again.-N. Y. Sun.
DsSTrnuc-TIvE AIrT. STORM.--LSPt
we4.k the section of country lying
near the line between Greenville and
Laaurens.counties was visted by a
disastrous hail storm, Alout four
miles from ClairSpring, the'storm of
wind and hail raged fieroely,' doing
great damage to the growing orop, the
hail-stones eoveriug a large area of
ground to the depth of three lches.
The loss is a very heavy one, the
wheat in that belt beiasg entirely des
troyed. The window glaesed in the
rebidonce of Dr, Hunter, faciug the
directfon'from 'which 'the sto'rm came,
were badly shattered, and the wind
aai'so strong as to excite much appe
hension as to the safety of the hous~e.
The h-ill foIl also in other seet.ions of
the country, but, fortunately, not in
sufficient severity to do great inju'ry.
