SATURDAY, AUG. 7, 1875:
Stealing from tho Public.
. It is something new in South Car
olina for an official to bc brought to
Justice, and made to feel that it is a
Crime to steal from the public, but this
is the lesson of the Parker rbi, and
tKough the State realise nothing from
the 872,000 verdict, its influence for
good is incalculable, as there may be
many'now in office, as well as ex
officials throughout the State, to
whom the result will be 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 arrestod, tried'and sent
to prison. Soft, words are mere
tufts of grass that will not drive away
the thief, who first steals your confi
dence and then your money. Wc
should not waste . our pity upon the
detected thief because he owns a fine
house, or drives a fast horse, or
^IO^C^
has he paid for oil 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
SCofe* of men, women and children
will pursue him crying "stop thief J"
but when a man of fine address and
oily speech puts his arms, elbow deep,
sato the public chest, fe' too often
look for sympathy, soften our speech
and expect to see him* saved from dib
honor, under the sheltering wing! cf
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.

son the lost of the ex-Presidents ol
the United States has died. His
eventful life and public labors will
secure for him a prominent position
Sh tl ia ftnnfejg nf nnr national history.
Of humbie origin and possessing
? hardly the ?nditnento of a common
education at the age of twenty one.
Ko has by his untiring industry .od
plodding pereeverenee 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 tho illustrious dead, and
Iiis death is deplored as a national
calamity The following is a brief

ts;?? States ferfaLn. He SM born st

Ok*BOARD THE SOUTH CAROLINA, )
NEAR ('APE HATTERAS, July 29 "75. J
Editor Free Citizen-:
DEAR SIR-Have just read your
leader of last week on "?o interest
in the 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 seo some reasons- for white peo
to talk about giving up the colored ;.
but for the colored to talk about sep
arating^fronv the white,- amt heing in
dependent, is simply foolish, and
may result in the end .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 figure J* the
fact is, the majority of colored per
sons io the South are children in
knowledge, and they need and ought
to have the aid and sympathy of their
brothers whose circumstancps have
been more favorable than their own.
Had the circumstances been changed
during the long, dark period of the
. ^Silbite^woULld
ter than the blacks ; for we be broth
ers, all belonging to Adam's race,
and it is silly, foolish and wicked f>r
one to kick at the other.
Just a word about our sail, tho<igb
I aro reminded that it may be prema
ture, as we left Charleston only yes
terday, and are not quite half way to
New York. As soon as we passed
over .'tho bar" old Neptune met us
with his bill of fare, hut after consid
erable will and decision on the part
, of the passengers, most were released
with paying a slight interest on his
unreasonable tax. Th? weather, thus
far, has been excessively hot. The
t hermometer elings to the nineties on
the ocean, .as well as on tho 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.
O! thedepih and breadth, who can
; measure it? And yet our F&tlur
. holds it and ns in His own hand with
safety. Now is seen the king of Ash,
spouting the water high in the air,
1 estimated by the mate to be sixty
feet in length. Yonder is seen the
shark, a clumsy f&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 thc
rain more than we did. An amusing
scene occurred just at dark, on a
sudden change of the boat in its
ooaree. Host of the passengers on
tieck instantly lost tin ir 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, ease in riding,
' joy tn einging- arc some of the roany
things to be enjoyed an this route, in
preference to one by the dusty rail.
We .arrived at New York after a
' most delightful passage of 72 hours,
inn thc ats!? inst.
Y?nrs trulv,
T. J. ABBOTT.

-ESCAPE OF1 PAIIP?BR.-Parker
escaped I roui jail Wedusduy night
between 9 and 10 o'clock. At 8
o'clock the sheriff1 saw Parker in his
room, arid at hfh request bought and
delivered to him a bottle of brand}.
About 10 o'clock the sheriff was
awaken and told by a colored man
tnai Parker was about to escape ; thal
he had lita horse all ready. Thu sher
iff hooted at the idea, but went imme
diately to the j ?il and found the outer
door locked, bul found Parker's door
open und Parker gone. The sheriff
and posse theu immediately went to
Pur ker's house and found two of lita
horses goue. Ou a re-ex,uninnlion
pf the juil, the hick of the schule in
Parker's room was found broken and
thu se title half open. A luther ex
ttmiimtion showed thatra while baud
keichief was hanging- lo the light
ning-tod. From these fuels the sher
iff went into the yard aid j isl al ihe
foot of the light utrig-rod found a
brand-new five inch barrel Smith &
Wesson revolver. This prove? be
youd doubt that, ibu escupe veas down
ihe 1 ig h tn i ng-roil. The next morn
ing Alex Muttisoii ami Tony Rich
ardson were found driving two of
Parker's horses towmds the stable,
and from the evidence dished at their
examination, it appears tuut thu
horses were intended lo aid Pa? ker
iu his escape, but that from some un
known cause they were not .so used.
Our opinion is that they are. nothing
but a blind, and that Parker is now
concealed in Columbia. A reward <>f
$700, hus boen offered for his capture.
Self-Murder.
That man is lillie less than a de
liberate suicide who hahiliiaU) drinks
tea, coffee, or ardent spirits of any
kind, lo induce him to perform a
work in hand when he feels, too weak
to go through with it without such
aid. Ile is trying lo get at the life
God has stored up for him for to
morrow, and use it up to day. This
ta the reason that the lutijinity of
great orators und public favorite*, die
drunkards. The pulpit, ihe bench,
the bar, the forum, have contributed
their legions of victims UM drunken
habits. Thc beautiful wcwnnn, the
sweet singer, the couvenAionnlist.
too often a drunkard's griive. The
best possible Hiing for a man to do
when he feels too lived to perform a
task, or too weak to carry it through,
is to go to bed and sleep a week, if he
eau;.this is the only irue recupera
tion of bruin power ; the only actual
renewal of brain forces, because du
ring sleep lire brain is, in a sense,- at.
reut ; iu a condition to receive and'
appropriate particles of nutriment
.jon? the blood, which takes .thc place
of those which have been consumed
in previous labor, Mere slitnulants
supply nothing f they only goad the
brain, force it to greater consumpti?in
of its substance,- until thal subs'ance
has been So fully exhausted thal there
id not power enough left to receive a
supply ; just as men are sometimes
so near death hy thirst and Starva
tion that lhere is not strength enough
left to swallow anything and all is
over. The capacity of the brain for
receiving recuperative participa, ?C?S?C
times ceases instantaneously and the
man becomes mad in an instant ; in
sn instant falls into convulsions, in
au instant loses nil pense, and he is
au idiot. Wo repeat,- there is re
newed' force for tho brain only in
eat ly and abundant sleep.
TRUE LIBERTY.-All governments
ought to aspire to produce tho high
est happiness by th? least objeui toll
able nu; a rm. To produce good without,
some admixture of ill, is the prerog
ative of Deity alone, lu a state of
nature, each individual would strive
to preserve the whole of his liberty,
bat then he would he also liable to
the encroachments of others, who
I would feel equally determined lo pre
serve the whole of theirs. In. a state
of civilization each individual volun
tarily sacrifices'a p url of his liberty,
to increase the general stock. But
he sacrifices his liberty onr> to the
lam; and it ought to be thc care of
good governments, that this sacrifice
of the individual is repaid him with
seen) Hy and with interest j otherwise
the siendid declaration of Rousseau
might he verified, and a stat? of na
ture be preferred to a state of civili
zation. The liberty we o'?tain by
being members of civilized society,
would be Hccntiouoness, if it allowed
usto barm others, ann" bia vet y if tl
prevented us from bime lilting <?ttt'
sclves. True liberty, therefore, ?K
lows each individual to do all the
good he ultu to himself without in
juring his neighbor.
