COLUMBIA, 'S. C. Sunday Morning, April 25,1B75V Technical Education of the Agricultural 4 Class. Tho interest of the State \\hieh bus suffered moat from neglect, or rather from positive injury infiioted upon it for nearly ton years past, is thut of edu catien. The corruptions which have prevailed, the odious and terrible wrongs in which ? they have culminated, have been, perhaps, moro provoking; but nothing has been so bad as to contem? plate the overthrow of schools and col? leges, the deprivation of proper training, uohooling and breeding on the part of our youth. The BtreomB have dried up cr poisoned at the fountain headr. The master sham of the day. is the public sohool system, for which the property of the State has been so heavily mulcted. The monster outrage upon true culture is the prostration and defilement of the State University. It is enoouraging to notice, however, and pleasant to acknow? ledge, that in several sections of tho State this great interest has maintained its importance in the minds of tho peo? ple, and that a considerable measure of success has, notwithstanding nil tho drawbacks with which they have had to contend, beSn aohieved in this matter. It is a subject of unfailing importance. We have, on several occasions, taken tho liberty of suggesting to tho only efficient and organized body of substantial citi? zens in the State?the Grange?the ne? cessity and advantage of their moving in behalf of the technical education of tho agricultural class. In connection with this branch of a topic of buoIi deep and wide-spread consequence to tho people, wo have observed somo thoughts of merit in a series cf articles published in ?? the JPenn Monthly and issued from Phila? delphia, a few of whioh we will notice. A scientific agriculture, tho writer says, is about the last thing that any people acquires; and yet, in view of tho relation of tho life and happiness of tho people to the fertility of tho soil, one of the most important. It demands, also, the still more general training of the faoulties, even by branches which lio outside of the farmer's own work, and whioh shall bring the profession, as a whole, op nearer to the level of liberally .educated men?alive to the large material responsibilities that rest upon them as a class, and fully awake to the discovery of every' possible means of discharging -them. Unhappily, by a most "unnatural ?selection," the agricultural class in our country is steadily drained of its most promising elements, by a sort of emigra? tion to other industries. Its profession is carried on in a traditional plodding fashion, which gives no opening for .youthful ambitioh, no scope for intel? lectual energy. The farmer's son sees no future before him in agriculture worthy of his striving?no ideal worthy of absorbing his life. The only offectual remedy is to be found in the elevation of agrioulture to the rank of a scientific profession, through the gradual but thorough training of tho agricultural class in the scientific principles which underlie the art. But the Agricultural College will come far short of its great end, unless it can form a class within the community who are at once enthusiasts for the work they bavo to do, and fully awake to the diffi? culties they must encounter in doing it. They must meet prejudices, which they will cither intensify or overcome, accord? ing to the wisdom or unwisdom of their aotion. They are called to become tho educators of the whole farming class, to carry home to it tho conviction that sci? entific knowledge is the key to its highest success and prosperity, sud to gradually amend traditional methods or supplant them by better ones. By agricultural societies, farmers' newspapers, State and Connty conventions, and all the other methods whioh bring that class into thorough contact with itself?if the ex? pression may be allowed?this educated leaven must be mixed with the meal "till the whole is leavened." The Louisiana Compromise. Tho frantic despatches of Marshal Packard, complaining of a violation by the Conservatives of Louisiana of tho Congressional award aoccded to both parties, and the reply of Congressman Frye, of Maine, are calculated to mis? lead the judgment by a porversion and misrepresentation of the facts. The Au? gusta Chronicle and Sentinel presents them in a shape to throw another and dearer light upon the whole affair. It is clear that the Democrats have not violated, or attempted to violate, the terms, of the compromised They have done only what they had o perfect legal and moral right to do. Our contemporary says that the fact*a*&^ -? Messrs! Burkhardt, Delamaine, Vorhiea and CoUlns were elected members of the Louisiana House of -Representatives at the last general election. Their seats were contested and their eases went be? fore the Kellogg Returning Board. This board was organized for the purpose of Eving the Radicals a majority in the egislature by ousting as many Demo? crats as possible. Yet, even this board, vile as it was, did not attempt the vil? lainy of expelling the four members whoso names are giver* above. The Con? servative*, .?rdeote^ ,ip St. Martin, and returned Afegsrs. Dolamaino fnitfljpfjbl'i fi.fft , a ? ,a, ? ?? V. '. and Voihiea by a vote of 921 to 704? a majority of 217. The Kot urn ing Board conld only reduce, this majority to 167, and, accordingly was compellod to gtvo tho Conservatives certificates of election. Mr. Collins was returned from St. Helena by a majority of 86, and the Returning Board could not disturb theao figures. In Orleans tho majority was simply over? whelming. These men took their seats in the Legislature under tho certificates which they held, und no attempt was made by Grant or Kellogg to oust them with the bayonets of Detrobriand. When the Conservatives retired after the Houso had been invaded by United States sol? diery those four members went with the rest. In their absence, the Badical rump elected a Speaker?ex-Governor Huhn ? and other officers, and pretended that they constituted the legal Houbo of Bep rosentativos. Acting under this absurd pretense, they expelled Messrs. Collins, Delamame, Vorhies and JJurkhardt, dur? ing their absence and without a hearing, and put four BepubUoans in their places. .This action was clearly unwarranted. There was no legal House and no legal Organization. Tho whole proceedings were a patent nullity. Tho compromise recognized this fact by seating excluded members and providing for another and a very different organization. When this organization was effected, tho in? truders were ejected, and the duly elected and legally returned members "restored to their places. Has there been any vio lotion of the compromise by the Con? servatives? Most certainly not. Tho ostensible object of that measure was to seat tho legally elected members of the Legislature. This view is further fortified by an ex? tract from the New Orleans Picayune. It say a: Tho Conservative claimants were de? clared elected by tho Returning Board. Tho sitting Bepublicons were admitted by resolution of tho Houso during tho session at which ex-Gov. Hahn presided over its deliberations. Thut body hnd as much right to exclude all the other Conservatives declared elected by the Returning Board as to unseat the four gentlemen who are about to be re-admit? ted. The same process might have been | applied to the whole Returning Board list of Conservative members, and thus | forty-nine places accorded to these Con? servatives might have been awarded to I on equal number of Republicans who were never elected. In such an event the effect of the award would simply have been to seat twelve Conservatives from among the number of those whose cases were considered by tho committee, and these would have found themselves lost among a crowd of 09 Republicans. It is clear that such a result would have vitiated the award and the adjustment? would, in fact, have made it a burlesque instead of a serious decision. The final condition of the compact of adjustment is that the House, as constituted by the award, shall remain undisturbed except by such changes as might result from death or resignation. But what is the ?'House?" It is clearly not a body created by the fantastic rulings of the quorumless body of which ox-Governor Hahn was Speaker. It is the Houso as constituted by the Returning Board, and as modified by tho committee's award. The basis of tho whole agreement is that those Conservatives declared elected bj' tho Returning Board, were, and are, un? questionably entitled to scats. To these wero to be added such members as the committee might decide to havo been elected, but whoso places had been WTongfuUy withheld from them. This is the House as constituted by the award. Frank Fkayne Maxes a Double Shot. A portion of tho performance at Wood's Theatre, yesterday afternoon, was not announced in tho bills, and there is the best reason for believing that it would have been better if the performance in question had not taken place. During the past week, it has been n part of the I programme for Mr. Frank Fravne to per? form a little of tho "William Tell" busi? ness by shooting an apple placed on the top of his wife's head. To perform this feat, Mrs. Frnyne takes her position at the front of tho stage, in the centre of a line between the two proscenium boxes. Mr. Frayne stands at one of the boxes, with his back to his wife, and discharges the gun over his shoulder. The ball always goes with unerring aim through the heart of the apple, and is flattened against on iron plate, about two feet square, suspended from the proscenium box on the opposite side of the stage. Most people who have witnessed this remarkably daring feat are inclined to believe that thero is some trickery about it, and that in reality there is no bullet fired from the weapon. All doubts on this point was removed at the matineo performance yesterday afternoon. The "opp*1o business" was successfully ac? complished by Mr. Frnyne, but tho bullet did not "flatten out'" as intended. It struck the iron plate all right; but glanced off, and entered the foot of Mr. Charles Clifton, an employee at the theatre, making a terriblo wound. The ball entered Mr. Clifton's foot on the in? side just forward of the instep, and then passed through the ankle-bones, coming out at tho heel.?Cincinnati Commercial. Passional Cant.?There was a merry fellow who dined at Plato's some ages sineo, and the conversation turning upon love and matrimony, he said: He had learned from a very ancient tradition that man was originally created male and female in one, each individual being provided with a duplicate set of limbs, and performing his locomotive functions with a kind of rotary move? ment, like a wheel; that man became in consequence so excessively insolent, that Jupiter, indignant, split him in two. "Since that time," said the merry guest to the philosopher, "each half mnB about the world in quest of its other half, and if the two congenial halves meet, they are a very loving couple. If the con? trary, they are eabject to a miserable, peevish, nagging and uncongenial matri? mony. But the quest is rendered diffi? cult by the fact'that ono man alighting upon the other half that never belonged to him,: another necessarily falls into the some error;.and thus, in the conrso of many centuries, society has been thrown into irrotriovablo confunion." Ao Victor Emanuol and Francis Joseph I voyaged from their. ron^-jetlvo capitals to I meet,one.another* each consecrated a Statue.

' About a' year ago, he was formally presented to the readers of the Sun. At thai time he had offices in the Astor House, and was trying to persuade the owners of $12, 000,000 South Carolina bonds that their beet course was to accept $6,000,000 con? solidation bonds in lieu thereof. This time the dusky financier is quartered in the Westmoreland Hotel, in rooms that look out on the wintry bleakness of Seventeenth street. Mr. Cardozo was en? tertaining another eminent financier when the writer entered his apartment*, and the visitor bore part of the burden of the conversation that ensued. Mr. Cardozo does not carry the cork? ing cares of office in hi*; face. In fact, he has grown more portly and his face shines more unctuously, and is wreathed with smiles betokening even greater self contentment than marked it a year ago. He is affable to the point of volubility, and ho expresses himself with almont perfect purity of English. "Has your visit any financial import, Mr. Cordozo?" the roporter queried. "Not at all," he ropliod. "You soe, I was called to Washington by business, and having finished that, I took a little run on to soo your city. Relaxation from tho cares of State, you know," he con? tinued, with a nod of lofty condescen? sion. "How have you succeeded with the I conversion of bonds that made your last | mission here?" "Finely, finely, I ensure you. The bonds have gone rapidly, although the conversion is not yet complete. You see," said he, with the confidential air of one who announces an indisputable pro ?osition, "confidence is hard to restore, ou may destroy it in a day, but it takes months, nay, years, to complete its re? storation. Wo are succeeding, I may Bay, well, nevertheless. The old bonds are quoted at 23 in tho Stock Exchange, and the consolidation bonds at?well, I believo thoy aro not quoted yet. But they will bo in a month or two." the states? man finished, in a tone of hopefulness | bo reassuring that tho reporter could hardly refrain from terminating the in? terview at onco and hastening to the | Stock Exchange to buy a million or so. Another consideration checked his en? thusiasm, however, and prompted the j Spiery: "Have they ceased Belling hinds or arrears of taxes?" "Hem! hem!" the great financier's throat needed clearing, and ho did not respond so readily or volubly. "Oh, no; we liave not ceased forfeiting lands yet. Tax sales happen everywhere, I reckon. You'd be surprised to seo the readiness ] with which tho taxes are paid, howevor. Oneoollector, in making Ihb report to me, remarked the gratifying fact that he had $75,000 on his books, and all bat $200 or $300 were paid up without a process. Reports from many other districts arc! equally gratifying. Republicans and Conservatives aro equally cheerful, nay, anxious in paying up. It all grows out of the hearty accord and good feeling among j the officers of the State. We at la6t have ' a Governor who is both able and honest, j There's no discord, no bickoring. Re Jvublicons and Conservatives aro alike lopeful and alil-J hearty in their support I of the State policy." 'Was there not considerable discord I at the late election, even in the Republi I can ranks?" "Oh, yes. Governor Chamberlain was elected by only about 10,000 majority, but his inaugural set everything right. He in it laid down his policy, and the people who heard were wild with enthu? siasm. Even the bolters shouted 'That's the man we voted for, only we called him Greene,' alluding to Judge Greene, the Conservative candidate, you know. They support him heartily now in his policy and in his vetoes. He's the most popular man in the State.*' 'How do the State officers stand on the third term question?" 'Well, the fact is, we. haven't much to sav about it. Tho Governor always tlnnkH twice before he speaks, and he has his hands full in regulating the affairs of the State. We want to get it straight first, then maybe we'll think I about turning our hands to mending the I nat ion."? Neva York Sun. A Refixctinu Man op t'ornsn. ?An undertaker of St Louis, who is ( nthu [ siastic in business, recently invited an old gentleman friend to examine a new hearse that had just been received. He pointed out tho beauties of tho vehicle, land in enlarging upon its "good points," said to tho old man: "Now, you are j gittin'pretty old, and there's no tellin' j how soon you may drop off, so I thought so long as I had to buy a new hearse. I'd git it in time to accommodato you. I tell you," ho said, warming up to his subject, "in that hearso I can carry yon to yer grave without ever shaking off one of tho bouquets which that handsome j wife of yours will have put on your cof? fin." - - - ?- ?? ? ?

At this season, especially, the atmosphere is full of the germs of many kinds of sickness. Every globule of tho mist and fog which cloud the earth and sky in spring holds in solution its portion of miasmatic poison. The evil effects of this serial virus can only be cortainly averted by increasing the vital activity of the system and securing the full and free exercise of all its natural functions, and hence it is, that HoBtetter's Stomach Bitters, the great nervo strengthener, ?regulator and antidote to malaria, is imperatively re? quired in the spring months. It is at this time, too, that Dyspepsia assumes its most distressing types, and' .that persons of bilious habit usually "suffer most There is an influence in tho air which depresses the spirits as well as the physical energies, and in order tore store their elasticity, tonic treatment ia I absolutely necessary. All the world knows that the wonder- . ful efficacy of Hostettcr's Bitters in cases of indigestion, biliousness, nervous pros? tration and malarious fever is due to the potency of its tonic, alterative and ape? rient materials and the absolutely pure stimulant with which they are incorpo? rated. It is becauso tho public have been taught by twenty years' experience, that the article can be implicitly trusted?in? asmuch us it performs uniformly and certainly all that it is advertised to do? that thej- prefer this sovereign tonic to every other. Hence, its - immense and ever-increasing sales; and hence, too, alas! the many counterfeits and imita? tions, against which there is no safe? guard, except the close scrutiny of the purchaser.
