Jadg? Wright (as H? S? jrs) tm tfeo Wrong
Plmo?.
The effort of the Professora of the
University to conduct a. aeriea of popular
lectures for the instruction and enter?
tainment of the public, is likely to prove
a Pandora's box of disoord and ilrfeel
ing. The young men, who, as we learn,
had exclusive.charge of the matter of
seating the audience, assigned the row
of benohes on the left of the ohapel to
attaches of the Government, and to the
theological t nd University students, on
the ooeasion of the opening leoture by
Professor Babbitt, on Wednesday even?
ing. When Judge Wright, of the Su?
preme Court, appeared on the scene, he
was politely conducted and seated in the
place designated for State officials. All
went smoothly, so far as oould be seen,
bot, an may be inferred from the tempest
in a tea-pot which he has raised about it,
the Judge was nursing hiswrath against
a supposed indignity, instead of taking
in the elementary truths of i eleotridty
from the lecturer's Hps. The first pub?
licly known about it, ho we tor. was from |
a sensational article in the. Evening H;
raid, next day, in which it waa Oharged
thai "a very ungenerous and misplaced
distinction" was made In the person of
the Judge, accompanied by severe edito?
rial strictures on the government and
offloara of the University^ We made
prompt inquiry into the truth of these
statements, in the proper quarter, and
learnt that they were entirely imaginary,
if not faotions. We were~W&b,informed
that Judge'Wright, oh the next day after
the leoture, and in time to oorreot or
withdraw the injurious article in the
Herald, had been fully and minutely
made acquainted with the faots of the
arrangement of seats, and disabused of
???? ?fejudioea that he entertained, do
rived from hearsay. The article, never?
theless, appeared, giving expression to
the very errors which had thus boon au?
thoritatively denied. Professor Babbitt's
eard, the next Friday (morning, in , the
Union, was explioit, to the effect that
Judge Wright had been seated in accord?
ance with tho arrangements, which' were
unobjectionable in themselves. Again,
in the Herald, of Friday evening, appeared
a card from a student, giving a plain,
unvarnished account of the whole affair,
and showing no blame-to eilst anywhere,
either in the faoulty or among the stu?
dents.
One would have supposed that the
thing would have stopped here; that
Judge Wright would have been satisfied
that he had been put in the right plaoo.
Bat that blessed black skin is a fine
* thing wherewithal to stir np strife.
Bed is "played oat," as a provocative of
bad blood, and blaok'a your oolor now
.to fight about. Instead of "smoothing
tin raven down of darkness till he
? nile," Judge Wright rushes into print,
with a leoture on oivil and social rights,
and a lame and sorry aooonnt of his per?
sonal experience of invidious distinction
at the hands of the young men, and
indireotly at the hands of the Faonlty.
His statements are inconsistent with
themselves. u He. seems: to accept' the
truth' of the assurances of Rev. Mr.
Walker and of the students, that no dis?
tinction was made or intended on ao?
oonnt of oolor, and yet represents that
in faot in his case, and in other colored
persons, snob distinction was really
mado. Ha seems to have had his eyes
about him, and was on the look-out for
insnlts. All of which may be accounted
for, perhaps, by Judge Wright's inatten"-'
tion to the lecture, and by a desire to
find something of which to complain
and make capital. It is preposterous in
him to vaunt his love of learning and his
friendship for the University, while
doing his "level best" to force, in a most
unwarrantable way, the question of
oolor, and all the contentions it holds,
within its seoluded walla.
There Bucms to be but little reason to
doubt that the dreadful disaster to the
. steamer Atlantic was tbo result of ignor?
ance or carelessness. Tho harbor at Ha?
lifax is ouo of the finest in the world,
but its entrance is guarded by a lace
work of roefs and rocks which arc re?
garded with constant apprehensions by
mariners. The captain of Atlantic seems
to bavo exercised no discretion, bat to
have blundered on through tho darkness
uncertain of the bearings until his vessel
ran violently and fatally upon shore.
The short supply of coal is inexcusable.
It oould not have happened oh a well-re?
gulated line of steamers without some
nerions detention, whioh did not occur
in the case of the Atlantic One of the
English line of steamers has never lost a
ship.

When the now post office in Boston is
completed, the various newspapers will
receive their exchanges direot by pneu?
matic tubes.
m??i? Whtr. It Hclo?B?
We have eins enough of our own to
answer for, without being aaddltd with
those of other oommauitiee. Massachu?
setts and the other States which produce
and boast of snob honest men as Ben. |
Butler and Oakee Ames have scattered a
large contingent of their sons of this
peculiar type, carpet bag in hand, all
over the South and West. We can traok
the stream in all tho sew governments of
these BtateB. They creep into every
office and every position they can possi?
bly find. Grateful communities of
newly-made voters have returned many
of those carpet-baggers to CoDgress, and
there the ''moral ideas" with which they
are charged have escaped in irregular
forms of notion?such as taking bribes,
selling oadetsbips, voting for the salary
i nor ease, and to sob tain and soreen the
Oredit Mobilier frauds. Bat they are in
UO fair sense representatives of the
South. Respectable journals, like the
Nation, which indulge iu statistics,
should recollect this fact,, and correct
their Agares. The Ration oaght to be
more exact and more candid. We shall
see how a plain statement will expose
the slender whioh it allows to peroolate
through its analysis of the vote given for
the back pay. It says:
"The back pay was voted by 99 against
97. Of these* ninety-nine, forty-seven
were furnished by the South', oat of a
total of fifty-nine votes possessed by
that section iu the House, or nearly
eighty per cent. Only four came from
New England, and, as . might have been
expected from the latter political history
of that State, Massachusetts famished
every one of the four?Messrs. Ben.
Butler, Oskes Ames, Oinory Twiohell
and N. P. Bank?."
Now, here is an accusation, or an im?
putation at least, although it might be
considered a compliment in the land of
steady habits and moral ideas.
The compliment to Massachusetts,
whioh it also contains, is fully deserved,
but does not do it exaot justice. Let
wbat aro slanders on the South, whioh
is not amenable to thorn, bo removed,
and placed as laurels on the browa of tho
Bay State, where they properly belong.
Hero are -the facta and figures, in a
pointed article in the New York World,
whioh will show a different per oootage
of notes for the back pay grab:
"Of the twenty-two Senators in the
forty-second Oongtoss who represented
the eleven reconstructed StateB, only
eleven were natives of the South at all,
and only eight were born in the States
for which they stood as Senators. Of
the fiity-nine Representatives in Con?
gress from these reconstructed States,
there were only twenty native to the
States for whioh tbey' sit in Congress;
thirty-five in all were born South of
Mason and Dixon's line. Of theBO thir?
ty-five, only twenty-six woro Democrats,
of whom one-half voted against 'back
pay.' Of the remaining Representatives,
nine were from New England, giving
that region thirteen votes, instead of
four, for back pay?nine for the highly
moral State of Massachusetts. New
York bad seven Representatives among
then-} and Pennsylvania four."
Thus is tbis slander refuted, and jus?
tice done those States from which the
enterprising Representatives and Sena?
tors have recently oome, who nominally
represent the rotten boroughs and States
of the ."South. We pray the Nation and
the rest of mankind not to make a mis?
take in this matter. We find ourselves
more capable than ever before of appre?
ciating Byron's lines following some
verses quoted from Sonthey:
"The four first rhymes aro Bonthej'a, every
line;
For Ood'a sake, reader, tako them not for
mine."

Thb Coubieb's Labt Issue.?Tho
Charleston Courier, of Saturday, says:
It is our duty to annoano/3 that tho
Charleston Courier ooases its publication
in the interest of A. S. Willington &, Co.,
with this day's issue. After the connec?
tion whioh, for sovenly years, has been
so intimately and so uninterruptedly
held with our patrons and the public, it
is needlesa to say, that we aover oar ties
with the profoundest, tbo tenderoat sen?
sibility. It is a proud source of contem?
plation, that through all those long I
years, wo oaa look back to a reoord of
journal life, unspotted, honorable and
marked only through myrind-chequorcd
soencs, by an eye singlo to tho public
good?in its highest, in its best, uud iu
its most wide-reaching ends. To our
faithful employees, who so long and so
steadfastly have pullod for us tho labor?
ing oar; to our able and efficient stuff of
c'jllaboral?urs, who have so adorned and
strengthened our columns; and to the
friends and supporter's of the Courier, at
homo, around us and abroad, we bid,
from our heart's innermost court, sin
corely, feolingly, hopefully, adioul
la tho changes which the cessation of
the Courier's publication involves, it
gives us muoh gratification to announce i
that Mr. Dagjrett booomes associated
from this date in the interest of the Rural
Carolinian,?in connection with Messrs. j
Walker, Evans & Cogswell, its present
publishers. i
A Mississippi sheriff makes on uncom?
mon demand upon publio credulity, as?
serting that both ho and hia wifo wero

Manufacturing in the South.?The
attention of the North hat boon recently
called by the leading commercial journals
to the rapid development and expansion
of manufacturing industries in this sec?
tion. The journal qf Commerce, ?spe?
cially, has devoted several articles re?
cently to this topic, and given faetft and
figures, as well as statements, to esta?
blish the faot. We rejoice at this, for
what is needed in the development of
this great industry, is capital. We have
everything beside whioh is needful, in
superabundance, in the way of water
power, nearness to the raw material, and
labor. We can offer everything else.
Here is what the Journal of Commerce
says, referring to the late census re?
turns:
"Our correspondent mentions, as the
most recent corroborative evidence, the
remarkable good fortune that has at?
tended the establishment of ootton mills
at the South. It seems there is not a
point in the whole Booth where a oottoo
or woolen mill has been started, With
adequato capital and energy, that is not
growing in population and resources.
The mills themselves, after being fairly
established, are profitable investments,
we have heard of high dividends being
paid on those ereoted only a few years
ago; but the most significant faot is tho
attraction they offer to other industries,
of one sort and another. From being
unimportant places on Borne line of rail?
way, they develop into railway supply
stations. ' The direct effect of the new
manufacturing interests at the South, or
any other part of the country, is to stim?
ulate industrial development far and
wide. The people of the South are taking
bold of manufactures with much enthu?
siasm. They are exempting manufac?
turing establishments from looal taxa?
tion, and in some places making public
subscriptions to encourage them. In
time, the South may compete with the
North in this great department of in?
dustry.

Tiie Congressional Bsclt Pay.
The increase in their pay, voted them?
selves by tho members of the Forty
second Congress, with retroactive effect,
is very generally condemned and de?
nounced. Many members are hastening
to declare that they will not take it.
Wo givo below the moat recent intelli?
gence upon the subject. Congressman
Elliott is the only member from this
State who has said anything about it
publicly. He controdiots tho soft im?
peachment that he had refused the ox
tra pay, and intimates that were it again
an open question, he would pursue the
same coarse:
The New Jersey press is anxiously
awaiting to hear from the Congressmen
of that State on tho question of extra
back pay . Thus far not a member of
the delegation has spoken.
Congressman Clinton Li. Merriam, of
tho Twenty-first New York District, ac?
cording to the Albany Express, will not
acoopt his extra back pay, and considers
tho whole salary grab an outrageous
awindle upon the Government.
Yice-President Wilson oallod at tho
Treasury Department, in Washington,
and gave Secretary Bichardson an order
on the Secretary of the Senate for his
additional back pay, amounting to
81,448, whioh ho desired should be re?
turned into the Treasury, and, if possi?
ble, applied to the extinguishment of the
national debt.
The proposition for Congressmen to
devote their $5,000 of oxtra back pay to
the completion of tho Washington
Monument does not moot the approval
of the Harriaborg (Pennsylvania) Jour?
nal. It says that, "morally and in every
manly sense," tho vote was dishonorable,
and it begs the managers of the monu?
ment fuftd to preserve the memory of
Washington from insult by deolining to
build a "monument to tbe Father of bia
Country with tbe stealings of faithless
public servants."
Tho Philadelphia Press announces
that Congressman John Soott, of Penn?
sylvania, has not reoeived his extra back
pay.
Two more Congrosameh have refused
I their allotment of back pay furnished
I them by tho salary bill?P. Van Trump,
of tbo Twelfth Ohio District, and C. W.
Willard, of the First Vermoat District.
Tho Illinois Legislature is considering
tho following joint resolution: "Tbat,
without regard to politics or party ties,
we do most emphatically place tho seal of
our condemnation upon our Senators and
Representatives in Congress from this
State, who, by their own votes, iucreuacd
their owu pay to $7,900 per annum, and
took a bouue of $5,000 for services al?
ready rendered; and wo further condemn
the President of tbo United States for
signing tho bill by which they wero en
ublcd to realize tbo increased pay, and
his owu salary increased by $25,000."
Just at this time, wbeu the indignation
over tho salary steul is becoming excoed
iugly warm, tho following extruct from
General Hawley's speech in tho Senate,
February 24, when tbe matter was under
consideration, is peculiarly interesting:
"One party already baa its gravo dug,
and tho othor wants to be sido by side
with it. Back of thoso two political par?
ties are the Amorioau people', who will
have somothing still further to say about
tho question. I oaro so iittlo about par?
ties and elcotions, that, if this is to be
tbe stylo of legislation, I am willing to {
assist at tbe digging and tbo funeral, and
I don't care what party comes after it.
We can't have anything worse, in my
opinion, than tho party which begins,
six months after the most ardent pro?
fessions of economy, to raise our own
salaries, so that we may put in our pock?
ets $6,000 not dreamed about until two
or three weeks ago."
