The closing of the public schools lost week by order of the School Commissioner Iri- attracted our attsn lion te this subject. That nur schon 1 authorities need wisely in this mat ter is proved hy the lh':t that in Orange Township alone there is a debt from last year of s.nne $i>')0 ad dt d to the already large debt in conse quence of the schools having been run longer than the appropiation could meet, and the consequence is that ? number of I etchers who work ed faithfully perhaps cannot l)e paid without extra appropriation. The object of our present school authorities is to guard against this difficulty, and. if the funds admit, to reopen the schools earlier in the fall. This is certainly the best that can be done under the circumstances; and under our present free school system Bui we would ask, cannot the whole system be changed for the better? To a< complish much good the schools must be kept open a longer time. The utilizing, an 1 in some degree perfecting the school system is a subject worthy the atten tion of our best thinkers. For a eh ild to go to school two or three mouths and stop nine or ten is almost useless. When he returns in the fad be will have to commence about where be started at lirst. To us it seems that it would be better to have fewer, larger anil bet ter schools, well graded, and kept optn the time required bylaw, than to have so ninny schools kept open only three months. We are aware that the ditduncc to water will be inler| osed as an objection, but we would ask if this disadvantage would not be compensated by the greater advantage ot better teachers and the long?-*' JufiiloH oi'niaiiuvaiuii, Uwcli of which n o unmey .*i| proprio cd would then procure. There is too much effeninacy nowadays, in bringing up children If an education is appreciate! a moderate walk will n it. become a barrier. We kn >w of gentlemen whose f>>!H and daughters are now regularly talking four mile 1 to at tend our private schools in town. If the Townships are too large he school (list ricts could l.c di% ided. It i.-> difficult to liod competent teachers to accept a situation for tbi-'-e month . hut they will lor nine \V? know wi have some good teach ers, but we waul all good. Reduce tb<" number nl schools ti the Township, instead of the number of mouth? taught; incorporate lb.> graded system; keep them open nine months, and emp'oy the best teachers, and we arc inn iucd to think liiat the cause of public education will be reformed in the State. Results oi tne Ultima invest ira lion. The Democrats can well iiflbrd to go to the country on the evidotic : taken by the Committee. They can do this, because the evidence, assum ing the witnesses on both sides I i be equally credible, will satisfy every body who can be satisfied by any evidence (1) that both the Radicals and the Democrats hud the means of voting fraudulently; (2) that tickets which could have been fraudulently used were polled by both parties; (.'> i that no irregularity is even indicated in extent Millich nt to change the re sult, of the elections; (4) that there was no maiming or killing, either before or during the election and that ( lily a couple of listictlIf lights took place in all Charleston; (5) that the intimidation was sporadic and not general, and wherever practiced was pushed farthest by tin? colored Radi ngainst colored Democrats; (G) that the color line is so broken that, white and colored Democrats yu on the panto raid, and that, while colored Radicals tear the shirts from the backs of Colored Democrats, the colored Democrats make things even by levelling pistols at, the head of the idolized Smalls; (7) that the feeling of the colored people towards th e Democracy is kindly in the extreme, and that without persecution or con straint they vote the Democratic ticket by thousands. This is enough. It is a complete Answer to Mr. 13Iaine and his following^The elections are as free and as honest in South Caro lina as in Ilostotv^TVtScw York or in Philadelphia, dB thcrv is less rowdy ism and lighti^s, \V-i) are satisfied. ? N''t/\s uitU (J'/iil\; r. An Un;'X#a>?eil Race. Pompey discovered that these races were on die tapis, und ho resolved to enter his mastcis horso on his own account, for hcj felt sure that old Morgan could teat anything in the shape'.of horseflespthat could ba pro duced in that^"T^ter. So on the very next SundayiOvontng he hid th a bridle under his jacket, went out. into the pasture and caught the horse, at.d then rede oil'town ds the spot where the wicked ones] were congregated. Here be found Siine dozen horses as sembled and the Hieing was about to commence. Pomp]mounted bis beast, and at the sigi.nl he started. Old Morgan entered into the spirit ol the thing, and cumwuut two rods ahead of everything. JWrVoinp won quite a pile, and beffo? dark be was well initiated in horser?c:ng. I omp succeed d in getting home without cxcithi?>ny suspicious, and he now longed for the Sabbath after noon to come, for he was determined to try it again, lie did go again, and again he wori; and this course of wickedness lie followed up for two months, making his appearance upon the racing-roil lid every Sunday after noon, as soon as he could after "meeting was out." And during this time Pompey was not the only one i. till lituj 1 ..\41 iltTT iu Hm, 1.1? v. rituttlg. No, for old Morgan himselfhad conic lu love the excitement, of the thing, tun, und his very motion when upon the track showed bow zealously he entered into the spirit of the game. But these things wen; not always to lemaiu a secret. One Sunday a pious deacon beheld thin racing from a distance, and straightway went to the parson with the a 'arming intelli gence. The llev. Mr. Ridewell was utterly shocked. His moral feelings were outraged, and he resolved at once to put a stop to the wicked During the week he mad; many in quiries, nud he learned that this thing hud been practised all sunt nor on every .Sabbath afternoon. Me bide his parishioners !?eep quiet, and he fold lliehi that on the next Sunday ho would ina'.e his, appearance 0:1 the very spot and catch them in their deeds of iniquity. On the billowing Sabbath, after dinner, Mr. Hi dcwell ordered Pomp to bring up old Morgan and put him in the stable. 'Ihe order was obey ed, though not without many misgiv ings 011 the part of the faithful negro. As soon us the afternoon services were closed, the two deacons and some others of the members of the church accompanied the minister home, with their horses. "It is the most fragrant pieco of abomination that over came to my knowledge,' said the indignant clergyman, as they rode on. ?'It is. most assuredly,"answered one of the deacons. ''Horse-racing on the Sabbath!'1 uttered the minister. "Dreadful !" echoed the second ! deacon. And so the conversation went on until they reached the top of a gentle eminence which overlooked the p'ain where the racing was carried on, ami where some dozen horsemen, with a score of lookers-on, wert: assembled. The sight wns one whudi chilled the good parson to his soul. He remain ed motionless, until he bad made out the w hole alarming truth, then turn ing to his companions: "New, my brother-," said he, "let us ride down and confront the wicked wr tches, and if they will down upon I their knees and implore Clod's mcroy, and promise to do so no more, we will not take legal action against them. ?, that my own land should he desecrated thus !" for it was indeed a section of his own farm. As the good clergyman thus spoke, he started on towards the scene. Tlie horses of the wicked men were just drawing up for a start as the minis ter approached, and smiic of the riders who at oucerecognized "old Morgan," did not recognize the* reverend gentleman w ho rode him. "Wicked me.,!" commenced the parson, as he came near enough for his voice to he heard, "children of sin and shame?" "Come #>p, old In ss," cried one of thejoekeys, running towards the minister. ' If you arc in for the first race, you must stir your stumps. Now wc go.'' ' Alas ! O, my wicked?" "All ready!" shouted he who led in the affair, cutting the minister short. "And off it ,V And the word for Etarting was given. Old Morgan knew that word too well, for no (sooner did it full up on his curs than ho struck out his nose, and with otto wild snort he started, and the rest of the rr?oors I twelve in number, kept him company . "Who-oal whoonoa!" cried the parson, tit the top of his voice. ?*By the powers, old fellow, you're a keen one !" shouted one of the wick ed men. who had thus far managed to keep close by the side of the parson. "You ritle well." "Who ho ho o-o ! who a oa !" yell ed the elergyu.au, tugging at the reigns with all his might. A Difference. The Conference of the African Methodist Church he'd here last week was in striking contrast to that ihu < vjlorc.l brauu h of the Noi'lh" crn Methodist Church held at Green ville at. the same time. The former was a qui el, orderly body, dealing only with religious su hjects, doing and saying nothing that savored of politics, while the latter was just the coutrary. Bishop Gilbert llaveu, Dr. Fuller, Dr. Webster and other whites present did all they coul 1 to tire the negroes' hearts against the whites among whom they live. The Greenville Nctct states that Dr. Ful ler, Editor of the Christian Advocate, of Atlanta, addressed Ihe Conference Saturday. Speaking of the lato elec tion in this State he mentioned Edge field; said the whole population of that County, male nnd female, was only about 7,000, yet the Democrats claimed n majority of 7,000 This the re\creud doctor said was "a wicked, huge aid stupendous lie.'' Bishop Haven followed in the same stmin. liev. A. Webster told ol a colored man who was offered 83,000 to vole the Democratic ticket; he prayed over it, and determined to refuse the oiler and vote the Republi can ticket.

This is called prime good, the one thing needful, the great dis:deratum of life. So meu toil for it; deceive, cheat, defraud for it. Give time, strength'and'ofte u good health for it. The truth is, the estimate put on wealth is too high. Its good, its value is over rated. It is not the best thing men cau have. It does not confer peace of mind nor purity of the heart, heartfelt happiness nor contentment, no home joy, no social blessedness, nor any of the solid and enduring enjoyments. Wealthy homes ara ofteu lappier than those of the poor nnd comfortable livers. Poverty is always an evil; but a lair supply of tbe neaessarics and comforts of lire ia quite as apt to confer real peace a* great wealth. It isnotgoid nor good*, therefore, that make men really wealthy. The best wealth is.of the heart, an enlightened niird, a loyal conscience, pure affections. Hi is ths wealthier who has the larger stock of wisdom, virtue and love?whose heart beat with warm sympathies for hin fellow-men?who finds good in all seasons, all provinces and all mon Thi generous man who pities thennfortu natc; the poor man who resists tempta tion; the wise man who orders well his life; clings closely to his family and friends; the Btudious man who sceki instruction in all things, are the truly wealthy men. Poor and Proud. Yo ung men out of business are fre quently sadly hampered by prid*. Many young men who go West take more pride than money, and bring back all the pride and so money at all. A young man who works for his board, no matter what honest work he does, has no reason for shame. A young mau who eats broad of idleness, no matter how much money he has, is disgraced. Young men starting jn life ought to Vim first of all to find a place where they can earu their bread and butter with hoe, axe, spade, wheel-barrow, curry comb, blacking brush?no matter how. Independence first. The bread and butter quest'un eettled, let the ! young mau perform his duty so faith fully as to attract attention, and let him constantly keep his eyes open for a better chance. About half the poor, proud young meu, and two thirds of the poor, discouraged young men are always out of work. The voung'uiau who pockets his pride and carries an upper lip as stiff as a cast iron door-steps scraper, need not starve, and stands a good chance to become rich. Sherman at Atlanta Tho N'tcs and Courier thus com ments upon the circumstance of Gen. Sherman's visit to Atlanta last week : The placid indiffereuce with which the people of Atlanta have treated the visit of Geu. Sherman to their city is worthy of all praise. They have neither sought him nor shunn ed him. They-have not even taken pains to couceal their very natura curiosity to behold the man who has played a very conspicuous, if not an altogether honorablo, part in tho his tory of the times, and especially in the history of their city. Atlanta, in this instance, is tho representative of the South, and the incidents of Gen. Sherman's visit to that city are a striking illustration of iho fact that with us the war is a thing of the p?st. which, although it will never be for gotten, will also never be revived. Printing Frauds. There is no doubt that in tho fat daj s of Radicalism ono of tho great est sources of fraud was the printing appropriation. It now appears from Maurice's testimony before the Teller Committee that Swails and his Re publican Printing Company of Wil liamsburg were making a good thing of it among themselves.
