Piiraary Schools. It is n great mistake to suppose that ordinary teachers will do for the primary schools, and that wo only vnttt our hist teachers for the higher schools and colleges. The fact is the reverse of this position would bo nearer the truth. A teacher oflitui ted experience, i n imparting instruc tion would do less injury in a school ol advanced scholars who have ac quired the art of study and self dis cipline than in the primary school. It is here that we want experience and skill in training the young. An able scholar is not necessarily a prac tical teacher. A man may he filled ? with 1" now ledge and wisdom,, hut ho may he entirely lacking in the power of imparting the tame to others, or of maintaining discipline. T hece tire the two most important elements in a good teacher. '1 he ex amination of our public school teach ers arc inteudod rather to ascertain the amount of information possosse d, thin tobring light upon these points. The efficiency of the primary frthofda frhould he the first concern of our.schooi officers- If the stakes are set right bore, the work of progress will go on uninterrupted; but if they are set w rong here b}' inexperience or ? carelessness, future progress anil building up is a? up hill work. The education of the boy improperly taught in the primary school is apt always to he defective. The expe ricuce of every lea eher must concur on this point. We therefore warn all concerned ngainet the error of thinking anybody will do to teach in the primary Fchcol. As the twig is bent, so the tree will grow. Nor is it only in an intellectual point of view that this warning is applied, but morally as well. It is not only important to give your child the best intellectual train ing, but the moral element, must be educated. This cannot he. done as well by precept as by xample. There is so much hypocrisy in the world that the discerning pupil is apt to become disgusted with too much cant. If the teacher in the school house dispenses excellent moral and religi ous truths, but in the walks of life does not give them force by example, we apprehend that more harm than good is done. To exhort in the school house, upon tho example of George Washington and his little hatchet, and then in daily conversation to en large or do worse is, not calculated to mould the truthful character; to speak in these classic walls of the value of Uniperance, hut outside to be seen ir.dulg ng in t he opposite vice, is not apt to leud (he pupil to a life of so hritly. It is therefore important to put i n our primary schools not only tt?? best practical teachers, but nun who?t) livasnhd examples will in themselves he silent insl rue tors. The Gloom of ( hiselhurst. The lot of Eugenie has indeed been a hard one; and now the death of the young Prince Napoleon, her noole son, at the bauds of the Zulu savages casts a gloom around the quiet shades of C hit tl hurst which cannot Ifoil to excite the sympathy of all Christen dom. The lowering of the French flag at Sedan, the defeat and subsequent death of tha ill-it irred Louis Napoleon, left the Km press a broken hearted- widow, seeking solace in the solitude of Chiselhurst, with nothing to live for but the gallant youth w ho but a few months ago with tearful heart she permitted to go to the laud of tho Zulu's. And now the death of the young Prince iu n strange land, far away from home, has filled the cup of sorrow to overflowing. The ?widow is now lett childless, and the hist hope of the Napoloons has been cut Off Don't Stoop. We publish else where the indiea tions from Mississippi that the lion. JctTcrsou Davis may he mad'! United States Seuatoi from that Slate. We have ho luubt that Mr. Davis would make as conservative and a'de a Senator now as he was before the war when ho shed lustre not only upon Mississippi but upon tho whole country. We have no doubt cither but that he would disarm his political enemies by his conservatism and wisdom; but we see two objections to bis elect ion' In the first place, just at this junc ture a vast deal of capital would bo made out of the fact by the Republi cans for the coming campaign. He would probably not have time to make his record before the cry that the rebels aro capturing the capital would be renewed with increased vigor and effect. It may loso us thousands of votes in tho Presidential canvass. But, in tho second place, Mr. Davis' escutcheon is too bright for him at this advanced age to stain it by asking for a pardon. We have always admired him for his posi lion that he had done nothing to be par doned for, and therefore bo had no apology to make, and no pardon to aalc All he has asked of the United States is a trial. If be has done w rong he a.-ks to be shot; if right, acquitted. This privi lege of (lie American citizen has been denied him, because the government is afraid of the result. Let Mr. Davis then end his green oUl age, with the splendid lecord of his noble life untarnished, for the ad miration of his people. Never lei him stoop from bis exalted position. Keep ?ool. The billingsgato which has recent ly found vent in the halls of Con* gross is doubtless tho result of an overcharge of bile, aggravated by the infirmities of age. 'J ho malarial season is now upon us, and preventives should be used against these .sudden outburst of the disease. ll Blaine and ('oakling woul 1, like Mr. Btepluns, try a few bottles of imous' Regulator, they would pro bably be able to keep cool liko lUc Georgia statesman. Change of a r is also another govl lemcdy for biliousness. To say, "you lie back," don't do any good. It only spreads the con tagion. It gives no valuable infor mation, livery body knows that, the Senate Chamber or House of [ivpre senaUves is not proof against ly iug and stealing, and the least tho mat ter is agitated the bettor it will be. Sometimes these ebullitions proceed from a bilious and sometimes from a nervous temperiment,'but in either cose, especial 1}' where there is a salutary dread of gun powder, the moderate remedies wc propose will help to keep rail. Civil tongues and more work would bean improvement in Congress. Furronn University. The commencement of this veteran institution of learning for the young men of the Baptist denomination in South Carolina passed off last week in Greenyille, with moro than usual brilliancy and success. In the language of the correspond ent of the "News and Courier," "what Central Talk is to New York, what the Capital is to Washington, what lr?p new City Hall is to Baltimore, what St. Michaels is to Charleston, w hat WofToid College is to Spartan burg, Furman I nire.nity is to Green* vi] le?the apple of her eye, the sub ject of her boast, the object of her care, and attention." The debates of the Phihtophiamwd Aih'lphian literary Societies were excellent, and brought a profusion of flowers to the fortunate speakers. The members of the graduating class delivered tpocches full of prom* ise for eloquence and thoughtfulness. A Bound and practical sermon was delivered before the A!u mini Associa tion by Rev. J. W. Wiugo. Mnj. T. W. Woodward delivered the address before the Societies which for eloquence and independence'of thought, lor which ho is distinguished, is highly applan [ed. A Tragedy In Columbia. On Sunday night about 8 o'clock an altercation look place between Policeman Rose of Columbia, and Mr. John 10. English, * farmer of Richland, in which the latter was killed. No light has been given as to the cause of the difficulty. The next day ns Mr. .J. M. English a brother of iho deceased was pass ing Ihre ugh the streets, firing took place between Policeman Rose and Danielsand Mr English without any ouo being injured. Parties in the carriage hi Id tho hands of Mr. Eng lish, and the confusion and firing frightened the horses, which put an end to tho difficulty Policeman Hose has been arrested for murder, mid Mr. J. M. English has been put under bonds to keep tho p**ace. Tke English family is one of good standing, and tho community hi thrown into a state of considerable excitement on account of tho unfortu nate affair. Threats of lynching Pose have been made in consequence of which Governor Simpson has called out two companies of militia to guard the jail. The feeling at the Cap tal is very intense. From the Front. Ilayes has sent in his v**to to tho Judicial bill, ns was expected. A few of the Democrats favor immedi ate ad journment, without any further provision. Others favor a continua tion of the appropriations until next January with the same limitations as to expenditure. The majority however favor the preparing of J another bill meetiug the President's objections, and then if he vetoes u-ninlo adjourn &?.-.c </??:. It is said that the moderate and conciliating course of the Democrats is disarming the bloody sh irtcrs and creating au acceptable record for the party. The late t indications are that the Democrats will never yield an i^eh in regard to withholding appropria tions for the payment of deputy mar shals. Nothing will he done h < wevcr lo St ? cripple the fuiiclionsof tho Judiciary . As the matter now stands, the Demo* cats have the advantage. We hope lh ey will keep it. Col. S. W Maurice.

Conkling and Blainc have been for a long time annoying Southern Senators by their blustering and insolent languago and strutting manners? Last weok the former stepped a little too far when he got up in the Senate Chamber and accused Mr. Lamarand others of bad faith. Mr. Lamar arose to reply and be gan so quietly that no one, and least of all Coupling,suspected what was coming. He first made a brief state ment as tt) his position regarding the levee bill, and then slowly and de liberately said in a voice which was heard all over tho hall, "If the Sena tor from New York charges roe with bad faith, or implied had Kwth to ward hin?, 1 say to him that ho is guilty of a falsehood, and I repel it with all the contempt I feel for its author !"" Conkling was so astounded that he could not ?peak for some moments, but presently arose, white and tremb ling and ill All excited manner fin ally managed to say, that ?'if ho understood Mr. Lamar to impute a falsehood to him, nothing except tho fact of this being the Senate would prevent him from denouncing Mr. La mar ns a blackguard, a coward an d a liar." Mr. Lamar arose deliberately ami quietly replied: "I have only to say to the Senator from Now York that he understood mo correctly. I said prcciso'y the woid that he understood mo to say. My langungo was harsh and unpnrli nninntnry, and I beg pardon of the rennte for it, but it was such language as no good man would deserve and no brave man would wear." Mr. Conkling said nothing more, but, like the school boy, is trying to satisfy himself that he said "you lio hack; ' but the thing don't act welI, and he goes about the Senate now with a crest fallen countenance. -??-"' ' "" "" 1 mmal 11 ? ?"?"J '**^mmmm^mnm^ m Revolution.
