The education and elevation (if the colored people is the earnest desire of the white people of the South as is d.-.tindnntly testified by the efforts .. . de to furnish them with schools. Ivlliott may prate :is mir-li us he t leases about the Wrongs f'thccolorod ;de, but he cannot deny the fair is und fulness of the provisions made fjr their education, within our ability, by the Democratic party. If lb esc colored politieuns who visited ? . o 1'udd really desired to benefit tie ir people they would seek tnbriltg about harmony between them and the whites, instead of doiug every thing I hey can to antagonize the races by playing upon ignorance and pre ? dice. Nothing keeps us from liar inoni/ing and working together, but lh< selfish intermeddling of oflicc . eckers. We heartily endorse the ! lowing language of the iXetc* ami Courier: "Gen.

IHK BIRTH HAY OF LEE. Wednesday was the Idrlluhiy of U Vi t E. Lee, whose name will ever cherished in every Southern heart. There isu nobility in the life mill haraeter of Lei* that not only com tiiaiids our admiration as Southern er;, but wdiitdi draws the respect of every lover of true virtue. In every department of life fien. Lee's example stands forth as n light I ? the rising generation. 'Asa citizen, and as a soldier, us n Christian, and as a College President, ? is Jife was most . remarkably free ?in blemishes, and his in 11 notice was id ways on thesidoof right. 1* has been the good fortune.of other nien to illustrate the hero of iticcess, but it remained for Gen. Lee to illustrsite the hero <d" defeat, which is far-grander. It is at Appomaitox that we love t to contemplate Lee. His memorable position a( lliis.try ing hour, in asking only what was ight, and not what people may think, is in itself, n volume of exalt ed morality n<l heroism. No changes of time or. sentiment v i II ever efface the beauty it ml sul?. iimity o." this noble character. Ltd its nil cherish the memory and f.niilatc the cxain| le of so great and v>od a ins n. - ? ?? Absenteeism in Congress is getting Hi be too frequent. Men have no right to accept public position and then no! perform their duties. \Ve are sorry to see that Hampton and Duller have been dilatory in getting into their places this session. Our Representative O'Connor made a speech in the House la.?st week on the public debt which hits attracted general attention nml re fleetscredit upon our District, congressional manners. Another most disgusting scene has just been enacted in the Halls of Congress. It seeins that the black guardism of Sparks and Weaver was j not sufficient for one term. We now have the specimen feat of a Con gressman coining into tho Legisla tive chamber, to att? nd to the duties of his country men who elected him, most beautifully drunk. Air. Hooker of Mississippi was the hilarious mem ber, und so exhilarated was his frame of mind from too frequent potations that he conceived it his duty to take part in every debate. The Indian bill was under discussion when ho entered, ami he felt specially called upon uuder the circumstance* to play '"big Injin". lie disturbed the House so that it was impossible to at tend to business until at last his friends succeeding in persuading him that hisScountry would not fall in his absence, and lie was taken out greatly to the relief of the members who hap pened to be sober. The frequent repetition of these scenes is a disgrace to our country and a fearful example to the rising generation. Unfortunately there arc many w ho look for decency and de corum in such high places, and may bo led to believe that such arc soihe of t he accomplishments of "high life." Billingsgate und "corner groggery" etiquette is getting entire ly too fashionable. The truth is, there is often more nobility and gentility tobe found in the humbler circles of life than elsewhere, and when the fra grance of a purer individual'life is more generally diffused; we may in dulge higher hopes for public morali ty. ii vhmonj/ing the hacks A meeting was held by the Demo cratic Club of Greenville last week for the purpose of devising plans for harmonizing the races, and nciting blacks and whites together in friendly discussion of polit ical matters. Speeches of the most conciliatory nature, were made by Gov. I'erry and others, and dually a resolution was adopted, appointing a committee of five to carry out the ob - jeets in view, ami invite the co-ope- i ration of the colored pe qdei In the meantime, Elliott and his clan are in Washington abusing the whites. ?'? Major Woodward, the Chhirimrn of the Democratic party of Fairfiehl, has issued an address to the party calling for moans to meet tin; ex penses of the unfortunate men who have been arrested for political pur poses. The Chairman id' Barn well or Aiken litis also done the san e. We don't know to what extent this political persecution is going on in Orangtbqrg, but we feel satisfied, if the money is-needed and called for, it will ho cheerfully given by every gooil man in our County. the Fence law. I was pleased to sec in your paper the extract giving the views of Gen. M. W Gary on tho fence law. There is no doubt that two-thirds of the best thinking people of our County agree with Gen. Gary in this, as they do in many other matters. The cost of fencing out cattle is far greater than the value of tin* cattle. Resides tins, it is unjust on the land owners th be burdened with this ex tra expense to feed other people's cattle. Nor will those who have no laud and a few cattle be the losers by the passage of the law. These people have most of the labor to pel form of splitting the mils, and, the fewer tip' mils to split, the less willlhc their work. The great dread o'.' the law by the laboring classes is that they will have no place to keep their cattle.. This is a mistake. Land owners always want to hire laborers nnd will do all they can to please them. It is very certain therefore that they will make provision for their cattle iii their pastures in order to retain their labor, otherwise labor ers'will go toother farmers who will tnkecare of their cattle. The stock !:tw would ben great benefit to our country. All would feel its benefits, laborer :is ..well us html owner, for w hat helps one, helps-the other too. It is early yet, Mr. Editor, to talk about it, but it would be well for our ncxl Legislative ticket to be made up on this Issue. We want, the fence law to fence in the stock. Let us have it. What say our law makers?. Fa it m Kit. Col. Dudley, of Marlboro, died of paralysis. TEACHER'S INSTITUTE. I Mr. Editor: I was indeed ghul to notice, in your lust issue, that you spoke of a revival of the Teacher's Institute in our County. Ornngchurg, in ieany re spects, compares favorably with any County in the State, and there is no reason why she should be behind in her educational interests or wanting in educational facilities?uo reason why Orangeburg should not have a first-class Teacher's Institute. The advantages arising front such an organization of teachers, properly, conducted, are many and invaluable, and, when once understood and ap preciated, must be apparent to every one, especially to the teacher The first and great ? object of every organization of this 'character, is to prepare more thoroughly the teach er for his high and responsible posi tion. Every otic who has; in sin cerity, assumed the duties and re sponsibilities of the soliool room, with an earnest purposeaitd desire to discharge faithfully every duty, must feel how utterly incompetent he is to meet the thousand and one questions, by which he is confronted, and to overcome the difficulties by w hich lie is met at every turn, some of which seem almost insurmountable; rtnd even when he has done his pest, how unsatisfactory.(lie result. The teacher needs the counsel and advice of those of the profession who have grown older iu the cause, and whose experience is more extent led. More than all, he needs the s> mpnthv of the common brotherhood. No where can this advice he Obtained and this sympathy extended to a greater advantage than in the Teach er's Institute. Let our teachers, both male and'female, nioet together and enter into a free euterchange of plans, methods ami opjnions, and the result will be,? we will have better teachers, better methods'of teaching) and the individual members of the profession will be encouraged in their arduous labors, and many of the difficulties which meet the teach er in his vocation will be removed, and the profession' will be ? relieved of much that is unpleasant, and even disagreeable. .Time nud space forbid inc tit this writing, from'pursuing this import J ant and interesting subject further, but let every teacher'who reads, these' dines, hastily penned by .one. who is not a teacher, but who "!bns-' u kind sympatln for every one who is en gaged in training the young, and in all that pertains to our educational interests bestir himself, and lend every energy to the establishment of our Teacher's Institute. This done, Mr. Editor, we may expect better things. IltA. A* GROWING NEED. Editor Time*: To every intelligent mind which lias weighed the matter, the advantages of the graded school system over any other must be apparent. However competent the teacher, it is impos sible for him to give proper attention to all the pupils in a school of fifty or sixt\ during the hours usually al lotted to school-room work. He must neglect the smaller pupils, put one of the larger ones to [hear the recitations, against which the child ren, in their hearts at least, rebel, and for which the boy or girl how ever '"smart" is incompetent, be cause not trained, or be must rush through tojthc injury of bis own temper and the detriment of the child's progress. And again, every man's mind "cognizes" a thing in a different way. There is no greater benefit to the child than to come in contact in the class room with stveral matured in tellect which throw variously the true lights upon tlx- same, or kindred subjects. Some side light may be thrown which will make clear a dark and mysterious corner of the picture, j He who is ".lack of till trades, is master of none," is a popular fallacy that holds good here. No teacher can tench Latin and Kreuch and AI grbra, A, 1>. C pothooks, Ac. Ac., as well as he could teach one of those branches. The specialist must ever be the leading teacher. Hut why multiply arguments':' Even while I write, time Hies and that school-house needs looking after. "What school house?'' Why don't you know, you man from tl e Fork, that it's time we should have a graded school with nice furniture, fine seats, and walls decorated with maps and black boards, and an elegant two story house, nnd lour or five first-class teachers training five hundred eager, grasping, God-given minds? "How are you going to do it?" Well see here, there are say, from one hundred and fitly to two hundred children at school, paying on the average$2 per month. That is $100, every month, and $3600 in the school year. There are two hundred more child ren in town and near it who ought to go. A school with four huudred pupils would be entitled toten first grade teachers witli snlaries of $10 a month?which allowing live months school year would b? $2000 more. Ob! of course $0000 would not cam on a first-class graded school?oh, no! Fine school of this kind iu Winns loro' Wont somebody else give this ball a kick. I waul to have a turn again after awhile. En Cokal! The Lancaster "Ledger" makes complaints against Gov. Hagood on account of his appointments in that County, and another paper censures him for pardoning Neil Blair. During the last week several busi i1cs8 suspensions have taken place iu Charleston and elsewhere. At this early stage the Hon. IJ. F. Cravton is spoken 'of as our next Governor. I). A. Strakcr was along with the pilgri ins. Gnriicld has rather snubbed the Elliott crowd. When trains are telescoped the poor passengers see stars.
