Agonts and Correspondents wanted in' nil Towns of tho County. SATURDAY, AUG. 7, 1875. Stealing from tho Public. It ia something new lu South Car olina for an official to bc brought to justice, and made to feel that it is a crime to steal from thc public, but this is the lesson of the Parker 'rial, and though the State realize nothing from the 872,000 verdict, its influence for good is incalculable, as lhere may be many now in office, as well as ex officials throughout the State, to whom thc result will be a warning. A. man who steals from another man ti a thief. If he steal from ten men, or ten thousand men, or a county, or a State, ho is a thief still, and de servea-to be arre9tod, tried'and sent to prison. Soft words are mere tufts of grass that will not drive away tho thief, who first steals your confi dence and then your money. We should not waste our pity upon the detected thief because he owns a fine house, or drives a fast horse, or bas he paid for all these with the money he had stolen from the people. When a poor beggar, at the point of starvation, steals a loaf of bread, a Score of men, women and children will pursue him crying "stop thief!" but when a man of fine address and oily speech puts his arms, elbow deep, into the public chest, we too often look for sympathy, soften our speech and expect to see him saved from dis honor, under the sheltering wing of the law. It is a hopeful indication of a brighter future for public steal ing to be deemed a crime, and pun ished accordingly, in South Carolina, and it should be the aim of all honest citizens to make it as dangerous as it deserves to be disgraceful. Andrew Johnson. Since onr last issue, Andrew John? son the last of the ex-Presidents of the United Slates has died. His eventful life and public labors will secure for bim a prominent position in the annals of our national histor?'. Of bumble origin and possessing hardly the rudiments of a common education at the age of twenty one. ho has by his untiring industry and plodding perseverance won a reputa tion, and secured for himself a nitch in history which is attained to by few. ' By order of President Grant, business was suspended in the vari ous departments of the government, in honor of the illustrious dead, and his death is deplored as a national calamity The following is a brief sketch of his life and service : "Mr. Johnson was tbe first ex-President that was ever sent back to the Uni ted Stntea Senat?, lin wan born at Ralegh, N. C., December 29, 1808; nt ten years of age he was appren ticed to a taylor and followed the business seven years ; he never aU tended school, but by self study ac quired a good English education, Ile removed to Greenville, Tennessee and wu8 elected Mayor in 1830, sent to the State Legislature in 1835, to the State Senate in 1841, and to Congress from 1843 to 1853. In the latter year he waa chosen Governor of tile Slate, and was reelected in 1855. He served ns a Senator in Congress from 1857 to 18G3. Re signed in ?862? and was nspoirited hy President Lincoln Milhtary Gov ei nor of Tennessee ; he was elected Vice-President ol' the United States in 1864. and President on the death <>f ATr. Lincoln, April 15.1865". In 1866 received from the University of North Caroliua the degree of LL. I). Ile was impeached by the National House of Representatives, February 22, 1868, on alleged misconduct un der the tenare-of-ofllce hill. Ile was acquitted I13' the Senate organized us a High Court of impeachment." i Bound for New York. Ok-BOARD THE SOUTH CAROLINA, I NEAR ('APE HATTERAS, July 29 '75. J Editor Free Citizen : DEAN Sin-Have just read your leader of last week on "No interest in thu black man," which is well put, and the criticism on Fred Douglas is well made. Looking at this whole subject from a human stand' point, I can see some reasons" for while peo to talk about giving up the colored ;. but for the colored to talk about sep aratinffTromthe white,-and'being in dependent, is simply foolish, ami may result in the cud with great dis aster to the colored people. I know it is not well for children to depend' on father always, bul it is not well for them to boast of independence till they can walk without stumbling. I do no injustice by this figure ; the fact is, the majority of colored poi sons ia the South are children in knowledge, and they need and ought to have the aid and sympathy of their brothel s whose circumstances have been more favorable than their own. Had thc circumstances been changed during thc long, dark period of the ^as^^we^hax^je^u^^njgs^^^j^ui^^ tue white's would have "done any bet ter than the blacks ; for we be broth ers, all belonging to Adam's race, and it ia silly, foolish and wicked f u one to kick at the other. Just a word about our sail, though I am reminded that it may be prema ture, as we left Charleston only yes terday, and aro not quite half way to New York. As soon as we passed over "the har" old Neptune met us with Iiis bill of fare, but after consid erable will and decision on the part of thc passengers, most were released with paying a slight interest on his unreasonable tax. The weather, thus far, has been excessively hot. The thermometer clings to the nineties on the oceun, as well ns on the land But we all hope for cooler days and nights Boon. The ocean is sublimely grand, to use the language of the school. We shall never grow weary in its study ; ever changing, anti yet monotonous, ever rolling and foam ing and yet always standing still. O'! the depth and breadth, who can measure it? And yet our Fatlnr ' holds tl and us in His own hand with safety. Now is seen the king of fish, spouting the water high in thc air, estimated by thc mote to be six'y feet in length. Yonder is seen the shark, a clumsy ifeh, but one of great power; then a school of mackerel, which wake up an appetite. A thun der storm on Thursday was sublime, though we thought you needed the rain more than wc did. An amusing scene occurred just at dark, on a sudden change of the boat in its course. Most of the passengers on rieck instantly lost th? ir centre of gravity, and for once all were on the same level. Tho was a wonderlul mixing of races, the usual result of being humbled. Tho rich dinners, pleasant conversation, case in riding, joy In singing--arc some of the many things to be enjoyed en this route, in preference to one by the dusty rail. We arrived at New York aftei a most delightful passage of 72 hours, on th? 81st ?nut; Yours trnlv, T. J. ABBOTT. Alwa3's have something to do, and you will always: have something to think abottt* -ESCAPE OF PAUI?EU.-Pinker escaped I rom jail Wed nst I ay night j between 9 and 10 o'clock. Al 8 o'clock lite sheri If saw Parker in his loom, and at Ids request bought and delivered to him a bottle of brandy. About 10 o'clock the sheriff was awaken and tobi by a colored man tnat Pat ker was about lo escape ; that | lie had his horse all ready. The sher* ill" hooted al tiie idea, but went iuimc- M dtut?ly to the j di und found the outer' door locked, hut found Parker's dom open and Parker gone. The sherill | uinl posse then immediately went tu Pat ker's house and found two of hi* horses gotie. Ou a re-cx.uniiuiUon of the j di, the lock of thu scull le in Parker's room was found broken and thu ac illlc hall*open. A luther ex amination showed that a while hand kerchief was hanging t?j tim iight ning-tori. From these facts the sher iff went into tile yard a ul j ist al the loot ol' the lightning-rod found a braud-new five inch barrel Smith & Wesson revolver. This proven bc youd donut lhat the escape wjis down . he lightning-rod. The. next morn ing Alex Mallison and Tony Ricli anlson were found driving two of Parker's horses towal ds the stable, and from he evidence iliM'.eri al their examination, it appears thal thu lau ses were intended t?> aid Pu. ker |' in his escape, but that I rom some un known cause they were not so us?d. Our opinion is that they are noi liing but n blind, and that Parker is now concealed in Columbia. A reward ol' S700, has been offered lor his capture. Self-Murder. That tuan is lillie less than a de liberate suicide wlu? habitually drinks tea, coffee, or ardent spirits of ail) kind, to induce him to perform a work in hand when he loci* too weak ? togo through with it ?viihool stiehl aitl. Ile is trying lo gel. at the life | God has stored up loi him for to-: morrow, and use it Up tu ihn. This is thu reason that ibo majority ol'; great oialors and public favorite* ?lie' drunkards. The pulpit, the bench, the bar, the forum, have contributed their legions of victims lol drunken habits. Thc beautiful wcninn, the sweet singer, the conversions) isl, too often a drunkard's grave. The best po-sible thing l'or a man to rio J when he feels loo tiled to perform a jg task, or too weak to carry it through, is to go to bcd anti sleep a week, if In* can; this is the only Hue r?cup?ra tion of brain power ; the only actual renewal of brain forces, because du ring steep the bruin is, in a sense, at re*i ; in a condition to receive anti appropriate particles of nutriment laom the blood, which takes thc place of those which have been consumed ? j in previous labor. Mere stimulants ; supply nothing f they only goad the ( brain, force it to greater consumption j* ol' ils substance, until that substance has been DO fully exhausted that lhere is not power enough left to receive a supply ; just as men ure sometimes so near death by thirst and siu'vu tion that there is not strength enough left to swallow any thing and all is over. The. capacity of the brain for receiving recuperative particles,some times ceases instantaneously and the man becomes mad in an instant; inj' an instant falls into convulsions, in an instant loses all sense, anti he is an idiot. We repeat, lhere is re newed force for tho brain only in emly and abundant sleep. TUCE LIBEHTV.-All governments ought lo aspire to produce tho high est happiness by the least object ion able means. To produce good without some admixture of ill, is the prerog ative of Deity alone. In a Bl ate td' nature, each individual would sn i vi lo preserve the whole of his liberty, but then he would be aloe liable to the encroachments of others, who would feel equally determined to pre serve the whole of theirs. In a slate of civilization each individual volun tarily sacrifices a p rt of his liberty, to incienso the general tstock, Hut he sacrifices his liberty only to the laws; and it ought to be the tare of goori governments, thai this KUCiifieel of the individual is repaid him nilli. security and with interest; otherwise | the sleudid declaration of Rousseau ? might bc verified, and a state of na ture be preferred to a state of civili zation. The liberty we o tain by being members of civilized society,1 would bc licentiousness, if it allowed lis to burin others, ami slaveiy if it prevented us from bcueliUiii?? our selves. True li'u'ii.v, therefore, a? lows each individual to do all the Unod he eau to himself without in* luring his neighbor.
