It is something new in South Car olina for an official to bc brought to juBticc, and made to feel that it is a Crime to steal from the public, but this is the lesson of the Parker -rmi, and though the State realize nothing from the 872,000 verdict, its influence for good is incalculable, as there may be many now in office, as well as ex ofilciala throughout the State, to whom the reBult will he a warning. A. man who steals from another man tra thief." If ho steal from ten men, or ten thousand men, or a county, or a State, he is a thief still, and de serves to be arrested, tried'and sent tb 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 nbt waste oar pity upon the detected thief becauso he owns a fine house, or drives a fast horse, or f^hd^haln^ has he paid for oil these with the rooney 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 publib 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 oar last issue, Andrew John, son the lost of the ex-Presidents of the United States has died. His eventful life ?nd public labors will secare for him a prominent position Sn the annals of our national history. Of humble origin and possessing ?i niel ? y the rudiments of a common education at tho age of twenty one. t?o baa by bia untiring industry and plodding perseverance won a reputa tion, and occured for himself a nitch isl history which ia attained to by few. ' By order of President Grant, business was suspended in the vari ous departments of tho government, ID honor of the illustrious dead, and bis death is deplored as a national calamity Tbs following' is a brief sketch of his lifo and service : "Mr. Johnson was the first ex-President thaft was ever sent back to. the Uni ted States Sedate. He was born at Xtalcgb, N. (J.j December 29, 1808; at ten years of age be was appren ticed to a taylor and followed the business seven years; he never at tended school, bot by self slutty ac quired a goori English education, Ile removed to Greenville, Tennessee aud was elected Mayor in 1830, sent to the State Legislature in 1&35, to the State Senate in 1841, and to Congress from 1848 to 1853. In the latter year he was chosen Governor of the State, and was reelected in 1855. He served as a Senator in Congress from 1857 to 1863. Re signed in 1862, and' was aspoirited by President Lincoln Millitary Gov ernor of Tennessee ; ho was elected vice-President of the United States in 1864, and President on the death ?if.MTV. Lincoln, April 15.I860. In 1866 received from the University of North Carolina the degree of LL. D. Ile was impeached by the National House of Representatives, February 22, 1868, on alleged misconduct un der the tennrc-of-olllce bill. He was acquitted by the Senate organized as a High Court of impeachment." i Bound for New York. OH BOARD THK SOUTH CAROLINA, ? NEAH CAPE HATTERAS, July 29 *75. J Editor Free Citizen : BEAU Sm-Have just read your leader of last week on "No interest in the black man," which is weil 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 white pco to talk about giving up the colored ;. but for the colored to talk about sep arating'dom'the white, amt being in dependent, is simply foolish, and 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, but it is not well for them to boast of independence till they can walk without stumbling. I do no injustice by this tig ure ; the fact is, the majority of colored poi sons in the South are children in knowledge, and they need und ought to have the aid and sympathy of their brothers whose circumstances have been more favorable than their own. Had the circumstances been changed during the long, dark period of the "^Se^vfu^Twou^ ter than the blacks ; for we be broth era, all belonging to Adum*s race, and it is silly, foolish and wicked f >r one to kick at the other. Just a word about our sail, though I aro reminded that it may be prema ture, as we left Charleston on ty yes terday, and are not quite half way to New York. As soon as we passed over "the bar" old Neptune met us with his bill of fare, but after consid erable will and decision on the part of the passengers, roost were released with paying a slight interest on his unreasonable tax. The weather, thus far, has been excessively hot. The thermometer elings to the nineties on the ocean, as well as on the land. But we all hope for* cooler days and nights soon. The ocean is sublimely grand, to use the language of the school. We shall never grow weary in its study ; ever changing, and yet monotonous, ever rolling and foam ing and yet always standing still. Ol the depth and breadth, who can . measure it? And yet our Fallu r . bolds it rind us in His own hand with safety. Kow is seen the king of tish, spouting the water high in the air, estimated hy thc mate to be sixty feet in length. Yonder is seen the shark, a clumsy &b, 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 we did. An amusing scene occurred just at dark, on a sudden change of the boat in its course. Most of the passengers on deck instantly lost Unir centre of gravity, and for once all were on the same level. Tho was a wonderful mixing of races, the usual result of being humbled. The rich dinners, pleasant conversation, case in riding, 1 joy tn singing-are some of tho many things to be enjoyed en this route, in preference to one by the dusty rail. Vic arrived at New York aftct a most delightful passage of 72 hours, on th?, dist inst. Yours inriv, T. J. ABBOTT. Always have something to do, and you will nhvayt? have something to think abott*. -ESCAPE OP PARKIER.-Parker escaped (rom jail Wednsday night between 9 and IO o'clock. At 8 o'clock the sheriff saw Parker in his room, arid at his request bought nud delivered to him a bottle of brand}. About 10 o'clock the sheriff was awuken and told by a colored man tnai Pai ker was about lo escape ; lhai be had his horse all really. The sher iff hooted at the idea, but went imme diately to the jail and found the outer dour lucked, bul found Parker's dooi open and Parker gone. Thc. sheri ff and posse Iben immediately went to ( Parker's house and found two of II?K boises goue. On a rc-ex.uninalion of the j ?il, the lock of thc scuttle in Parker's room was found broken and the ac title half open. A luther ex animation showed that a white baud keichief was hanging- lo ibu light ning-rod. From these facts the sher iff went into tile yard a id j isl al ihe foot Of ihe light ning-rod found a brand-new five inch barrel Smith ?Sc Wesson revolver. This proves be youd (loutit lhat the escape vi^s down i be lightning-rod. Tin next morn ing Alex Maltisou and Tony Rich ardson were found driving two of Parker's horses towald-t ihe stable, and from ?he evidence chilled at their examination, it appears that thc horses were intended to aid Pat ker in his escape, but thal from some un known cause they were not .so used. Our opinion is that they are nothing bul a blind, and that Parker is now concealed in Columbia. A reward of $700, has been offered lor bis capture. Self-Murder. That tuan is lillie less than a de lib?rale suicide who habitually drinks tea, coffee, or ardent soi t it? of any kind, to induce him to perform a work in hand when he feels tot.? weak to go through with it without Mich aid. Ile is trying" to gel. al the lib God bas stoied tip loi bim for to morrow, and use ii up to day. This is Ihe reason that Ihe majority of great oialora and public favorite? ?lie drunkards. The pulpit, the bench, the bur, the forum, have conti fouled their legions of victims loTtlrunken habits. The beautiful wisnan, lite swed singer, the conver^Aioiialisi, M^iertmVffni u i ill'Pi ?risilla nm 11 too ofien a drunkard's grave. The best possible Hiing for a mau to do , when he feels to<i liied to perform a | lask, or lo?? weak t?? carry ii through, is to go to bed nod sleep a iveek, if lie can ; ibis ia the only true recupera tion of bruin power ; the only actual renewal of brain forces, because du ring sleep the brain is, in a sense,-ai rest ; in a condition to receive and appropriate particles of nutriment IJOIP the blood, which lukes the place of those which have been consumed in previous labor. Mere stimulants supply nothing f they only goad the brain, force it to greater consumption of its substance,- until that subs)ance has buen So fully exhausted thal lhere is not power enough left to receive a supply ; just as men are stimuli mes so near death by thirst arid starva tion that lhere is not strength enough left to swallow anything anti all is over. The capacity of the brain for receiving recuperative particles, some times ceases instantaneously and the man becomes mad in an instant ; in an instant falls into convulsions, in au instant loses all sense, and he is an idiot. We repeat, there is re newed- force for tho brain only in eat ly and abundant sleep. TRUE LIBERTY.-All governments j ought to aspire to produce tho high est happiness by the least objection ublc means. To produce good without some admixture of ill, is the prerog ative of Deity alone. Io a slate of nature, each individual would strive to preset ve the whole of his liberty, but then he would be also linble to the encroachments of others, who would feel equally determined to pre serve the whole of their?. In.a slate of civilization each individual volun tarily sacrifices a p 'ft of his liberty, to increase the general -?tock, But he sacrifices bia liberty only to the laws; and it ought to be the care of good governments, thai ibis sacrifice of the individual ia repaid him with security and tot th interest ; otherwise j the slendid declaration of Rousseau might be 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 tociety, would be licentiousness, if it allowed usio barm others, and' ul?veiy if it pi evented us from biui?UUiiig our selves. True liberty, therefore, lows each individual to do all the good be erm to bimself without in? juring his neighbor. CANV 8SERS wanted for ?two supero work.- ?
