In our judgment tiie best speech of this session of Congress whs inadea few days ago by Hon. Frank II. llurd of Ohio in answer to Mr. Q irfield on the Republican fide. It is certainly the cleanst exposition of the Conati tuiiou and the Democratic policy ever yet given. lie showed that the doctrine o.' consolidation advanced by tho Re publicans was entirely antagonistic to the express provisions of the Con stitution. Mr. Gar-field advanced the extra culinary pr< position that the Union preceded the States. Mr. IIurd met him with the Con stitution which declares, "That tho powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor pro hibitsd by it to the States, are ro icrved to the Slates respectively, or to the people." Il was therefore clearly shown that instead of Mr. Garfiild's monstrou? assertion that the Union preceded the Slates, the truth is, and the letteras well as the spirit of tho Constitution shows, that iho Constitution and the Union is the creature of the States. But the most complete knock down to the Republican doctrine was the following extract from the decision of Chief Justice Chase of the Supreme Court of the United Stales in the case of Lane County vs. Oregon : "The penplo of tho United Slates constitute one nation, under one government, aud this government, within tho scope of the powers with winch It inv*??tpn in anprAm* the other hand, the people of each State compose a Slate, having its Oivn government, and endow, d with all the functions essential to separata and independent existence. The States disunited might continue to exitt. Without the Stales in union there cruld be no such political body as the United States." Chase it must he remembered whs the great Republican light due ing the war. Such decisions as the above, pre sented by Mr. Davis' great lawyer Charles O'Conor after tho war, when tho Confederate C hieftain was brought up for trial, put the United States to thinking, and finally elloct ed the back down of the government. Mr. Ilurd then goes on to expo?c the extreme fallacy of the extraordi nary vetoes of Mr. Hayes. The President claims that the action of tho Democrats abridges his power to execute tho laws. Mr. Ilurd acknowledges tho Presi dent's right to execute the laws, but q tuest the constitution, that he shall execute tho laws hy calling upon tho militia of the States, and not upon tho army. The latter is tho creature of Congress, and can only he tisvl as that body may direct. Mr. Ilurd concludes with an elo quent peroration upon the danger to ciyil liberty from Republican aggres sion. Gentlemen (lie says) the contest will soon begin. Aye it has already begun. I hear the whisperings of American inquiry. I hear tho mut terings of Anglo Saxon resolve. I hear the tread of legions forming, with the banner of civil liberty above them. Tho contest has already begun, anil God give the victory to freedom and right ! Rbv P P. Stevens. This" dist'nguished Episcopal di vine of South Carolina has just been appointed Bishop of the Reformed Fpiscopal Church at Chicago. It looks something like the dawn of good feeling when the commander of the battery which fired up > n the "Star of the West," a gallaut and wounded hero at Antielam, and tho School Commissioner on the Democratic ticlu-t in Charleston is mado Bishop of a Northern diocese. This is ccitaiuly not the Rlaino and Conkling riootr e -v.g '.I gsg'': liji'**_?lJ'.'jyj'!rJS*!!!??y*l*iLg'2SLBBSS! Independence. The opening of the municipal cam- i paign in C hurlcston, and the indica-! tion that Borne of the candidates in tend to run as Independents of the Campbell stripe, has suggested vo us a few words on the above subject. Far be it from us to curtail in ? dependence of thought and action in politics. Upon this alone depends the preservali >n of our liberties and the overthrow of ringB nnd monopolies. But, in our opinion, there is a way to bo indep endent, without bein^ a traitor. If our so called independence en danger? our civilization by the re establishment of Radicalism, it can i no longer bo styled independence but f-elf-ag^t andizement. Our independence must exert itself inside of the Democratic lines There iH room enough there for it. If the party i? not purified, and ring.* not overturned, it. is our own fault. It is because we are not bold and independent enough in our own ranks. There is much to remedy, and it can be dene alone by free speech. It may do very well to kick against the shackles of party in communities in which one party is as good as the other, hot, as matters stand in tbo ?Sooth, it won't do. Ho who disre gards the limitations of the party must under the circumstances, be set. down as an enemy. Hopocrites may play Democratic tunes with ? Radical blowing the bellows. Undeserving men may be elevated to position through private influences. Such wrongs will exist, as long as the world lasts. But they must not be cured by going outside of tha party. The man who does this is an enemy to good government. The remedy is inside of our own liuos. Spinning Seed Cotton. Tho process of spinning cotton from the seed is likely to revolution ize the South, Tho '?Southern ller a'd'' in speaking of the cotton factory at Westminster, on the Air-Line Railroad, in Oconee county, S, 0 , sayj: "All the machinery is moved .by a twelve-inch turbine wheel. Tho seed cotton is; systematically rneas* urtd into the gin by machinery, au<t_ ' lint, separated from trio seed, passed fr*m the gin in mils to the spindles, and comes out in thread. Thus the expense of packing, bag ging, ties, etc , is dispensed with, and also the damage to the Hut from com prss^ing is prevented The factory we saw had only 500 spindles, and turned out a bale i lorty bunches) of thread per day. It requires 150,000 pounds of "eed cotton to keep tho mill running a year. The whole cost of the buildings, machinery, etc., was 85,000. Two or three fat mors in any neighborhood can cotnbiuo and erect such a mill, to the lasting benefit of themselves und their neigh bors. The Lynching. Judge Preeslcy, as the exponent nf the law, brought before the Grand Jury of Spartanburg the caso of the lynching of John J. Moore in that County. He showed the danger of such a resort. That no man would be safe. That the courts wore now in j our own hands, and justice could be obtained, and that thero was now no excuse for such violence, and that it must be stopped. The Grand Jury, after investiga tion, replied in substance, that the fact was substantiated that Moore was lynched by IftC citizens, but that they acted in oben ience to tho dic tates of justice, and mcrvly anticipa ted the sentence rf tho law of the land. Here tha matter rests. Free Quinine. The "News and Courier," a few weeks ago brought to tho notice of the County, tho fearful monopoly in this article which was practiced by ono or two protected quiuine farms. The boldness and patriotism of this journal has not been without effect. Through Democratic effort tho bill to place salts and tulphate of quinine on tho free trade list has passed, ai.d thus a cruel monopoly has been crushed. _ For the Orangeburg Time*. Punishment in School. Mr. Editor: In toy opinion the suhject of pun ishment in schools is ono which needo tha attention not only of teachers and teachers institutes, but of tho Stste and our legislator*. The old time fashion of flogging, which in, even now, the only method of maintaining discipline, is uot without ohjections. Sometimes scriotu consequ cnces arise from its use, either from the Inch of self-control on the p irt of tho teacher, or from overmnsitivenoss on the part of tho pareut whose reason is nj>t to be blinded by love for his offspring. Again, while the obsk.^porous pupil must be controlled, there is lit tle wir dum in bunking the spirit of a boy in this way. Often brutal teachers seem to delight in getting up a sort of reputation for floggiug children. I do not wish to b? understood in any way as objecting to punishmcLt in schools. It is as necessary for tho discipline of the school ns mediciuc is for the health of tho body. lint it is my opinion that the plan of letting every man who sets him - self up as a teacher exercise the right of flogging at his own disc retion, is unwise and tends to injury. It Eccma to me that the Rate should regulate this matter of pun ishment in schools. The truth i.vj all our schools should he in charge of tho State, anil regular punishments should be fixed by law. In the military and marine schools, where good discipline) is proverbial, such systematic punish niont is used. It matters uot what the modo of pun:?di ment is, if it is regulated by law, th I objections are removed, The strong hand of the Stale is in the matter There are checks both on' the teacher and the. parent, aod difficulties from indiscretion are uot apt to ariso, and if they do, thero is a legal remedy for tho offender . While we arc improving in every thing e'se, let us improve in our com mon schools. A Teach sen. For the Urangcburg rj.
