In our judgment the best speech of this session of (Congress whs made a few days ago by Hon, Frank II. II m il of Ohio in answer to Mr. G ufield on the Republican fide. It is certainly the clean st exposition of the Consti tution and the Democratic policy ever yet given. Ho showed that the doctrine o.' consolidation advaucod by the llo publieans was entirely antagonistic to the express provisions of the Con ?lituliou. 1>1-. Gar fie Id advanced the extra eidiitaiy pr? pesition that the Union preceded the States. Mr. Ilurd met him with the Con stitution which declares, "That the powers uot delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor pro hibited by it to the States, arc re served to the States respectively, or to the people." It was therefoie clearly shown that instead of Mr. Garfield'a monstrous assertion that the Union preceded the States, the truth is, ami the letteras well as the spirit of the Constitution shows, that ilio 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 (he decision of Chief Justice Chase of the Supremo Court of the United Stales in the ense of Lane County vs. Oregon : '?The people of the United Slates constitute one nation, under one government, and this government, within tho scope of the powers with which it it ?nT???ti?d i? Bt?nr?m* ? he other hand, the people of each" State compose a State, having its ojvu government, and endow- d with all the functions essential to separate and independent existence. The States disunited might continue to exist. Without the States in union there c< uld be no snob political bady as the United States." Chase it must be remembered was the great Republican light during the war. Such decisions as die above, pre sented by Mr. Davis/ great lawyer Charles O'Conor after tho war, when tho Confederate Chieftain was brought up for trial, put the United Stales to thinking, and finally effect ed the back down of the government. Mr. Ilurd then goes on to expose 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 ['resi dent's right to execute the laws, but qtuest the constitution, that he shall execute the laws by calling upon tho militia of tho States, and not upon tho army. The latter is the creature o f Congress, and can only be hstd as that body may direct. Mr. Ilurd concludes with an elo quent peroration upon the danger to ciyil liberty from Republican aggres sion. Gentlemen (he says'* the contest will soon begin. Aye it hns already begun. I hear the whisperings of American inquiry. I hear the mut terings of Anglo Saxon resolve, i hear tho tread of legions 'brining, with the banner of civil liberty above them. Tho contest has already begun, and God giv% the victory to freedom and right ! Rov. P F. Stevens. 'Ibis distinguished Episcopal di vine of South Carolina has just betn appointed Bishop of the Reformed Episcopal Chinch nt 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 gallant and wounded hero at Antietam, and tho School Commissioner on the Democratic ticket in Charleston is mado Bishop of a Northern diocese. This is certainly not the Rlaioo find Cohkling doctrine Independence. The opening of the municipal cam paign in Charleston, and the indica tion that aomc of the candidates in tend to run as Independents of the Camphell stripe, has suggested 10 us a few words on the above subject. Far he it from us to curtail iu ? dependence of thought and action in politics. Upon this alone depends the preservati >u of our liberties and the overthrow of rings and monopolies. But, in our opinion, there is a way to be in lep endent, without being a traitor, tf our so called independence en dangers our civilization by tli3 re establishment of Radicalism, it can no longer be styled independence but self-agginndizcment. Our independence must exert itself inside of t he Democratic lines ; There is room enough there for it. If the party is not purified,and rings not overturned, it is our own fault. It is because wo are not hold and j independent enough in our own ranks. There is much to remedy, and it can be deno alone by free speech. Itmay do very well to kick against the shackles of party iu communities in which one party is as good as tho other, hot, a-s ma'lets stand in tho i South, it won't do. Ho who dhro- J 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 he elevated to position through private influences. Such wrongs will exist, as long as the world lasts. But they must not he cored by going outside of the party. The man who does this is au enemy to good government. The remedy is inside of our own Hues. ?tm> ? - ? '* ? " '? ? -?? Spinning Seed Cotton. Tho process of spinning cotton from the seed is likely to revolution ize the South. The '?Southern Her a'dM in speaking of the cotton factory at Wet-1minster, on the Air-Line Railroad, in Ocouee county, S, C , says: "All the machinery is moved .by a twelve-inch turbine whocl. Tha seed cotton i? systematically meas ured into the gin by machinery, an<t_ ' lint, separated from tne seed,"" passed fr*m the gin in rolls 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 prsssing is prevented The factory we saw had only 500 spindles, and turned out a hale (lorty hunches) of thread per day. It requires 150,000 pounds of seed cotton to keep the mill running a year. The whole cost of the buildings, machinery, etc., was $0,000. Two or three (aimers in any neighborhood can combine and erect such a mill, to the lasting benefit of themselves and their neigh bors. The Lynching. Judge Pressley, as the exponent of tho law, brought baforo the Grand Jury of Spartanburg tho case of the lynching of John J. Moore in thai County. He showed tho danger ol such a resort. That no man would he sale. That the courts wore now in [ our own hands, and justice could be J obtained, and that there was now no I excuse for such violence, and that it I must be stopped. The Grand Jury, after investiga tion, replied iu substance, that the fact was substantiated that Moore was lynched by the citizens, hut that they acted in oben jence to tho dic tates of justice, and mcrsly anticipa ted the sentence rf tho law of the land. Here the matter rests. ????? ? - ? mmWMm? ! Free Quinine. Tho "News and Courier," a few ! weeks ago brought to the notice of the County, tho fearful monopoly in this article which was practiced by j ono or two protected quinine farms. I The boldness and patriotism of this ! journal has not been without effect. Through Democrstic effort tho bill to place salts and Mtlphate of quinine on tho I'ree trade list has passed, at.d thus a cruel monopoly has beeu crushed. For the Orangeburg Time?. Punishment in School. Mr. Editor : In my opinion the subject of pun ishment in schools is ono which needs the attention not oniy of teachers and teachers institutes, hut of tho Stste and our legislator?. The old time fashion of flogging, which is, even low, the only method of maintaining discipline, is not without objections. Sometimes serious consequences arise from its use, either from the lack of self-control on tho part of the teacher, or from over aonsitiveneas on tho part of tho pareut whose reason is apt to be blinded by love for his offspring. I Again, while the obstreperous I pupil must he controlled, there is lit j tie whdum in bunking the spirit of a j boy iu this way. Often brutal teachers seem to delight iu getting up a sort of reputation for floggiug children. I do not tush to be understood in any way as objecting to punishmect in school?. It is as necessary for tho discipline of the school ns medicine is for the health of tho body. Hut it is my opinion that the plan of letting every man who nets him - self up as a teacher exercise the right of flogging at his own discretion, i* unwi.se and tends to injury. It seems to me that the State should rrgnlatc this matter of pun ishment in schools. The truth isj all our schools should he in charge of tho State, and regular punishments should be fixed by law. In tho military and marine schools, where good discipline- is provetbial, such systematic punish niont is used. It matters not what tho modo of punish nicut is, if it is regulated by law, the objections are removed. The strong hand of the State is in the matter There are checks both on' the teacher and the parent, ?od difficulties from indiscretion are ,uot apt to arise, ami if they do, there) 13 a legal remedy for tho offender . ] While we are improving in every thing e'se, let us improve in our com mon schools.
