ANTIQUITY OF MAN.--.Thc savnns at Chi
cago have had this ancient topic up for
renewed discussion. Professor J. u. Whit
ney produced n human skull dug mp in Cali
forna in 1866 Ii was found 1870 feet bc
low The surface, beneath bed OF lava, and
in close proximity to Il pctriicd oak. Tho
Professor read long paper on the subject,
and concluded that ifthc skull was really
left by its owner where il was found, the
owner must have lived untold ages ago.
Professor Silliman spoke to tho question.
lie said he had spent time in the regions
referred to by Professor Whitney. lie in
qnircd particularly Of tho miners in regard
to the discover" Of tho remains of animal
life, and of relies or Indications Of man and
his works. lie was bound to say there
was no evidence Of the existence either OF
the human osscous structure or of the W orks
Of man.
Professor Whitney expects to have new
laots FOR the next meeting, whict will place
man back in the masodon era, or even be-
fore.

Why Help tho Bogus Governmental
We have been struck all along, ever
since our 50 called Legislature has
been in session, with the fact that the
Democratic Press Of the State has as
sisted it in its difficult labors to an in
calculablc degree. The two ablcst
members, though not really upon the
l'oor Of either house, arc the cores
pondcnts Of the Charleston Ncws and
the Charleston Courier. They commit
blunder after blundcr, and pass thcir
blmdcrs to a third reading in one
house, and would rush them through,
to the scorn and contempt of all scn-
slblc people, to third reading and
final passage in the other, but the
members from the NcDs and the Cou-
'1n' write, and 10 panic, q fluttcr, II
reconsideration, an amendment, that
never would or could have originated
in the rowdy crowd Of incompctcnts,
if let alone. Why do not these wri-
tors coniinc themselves to facts
Moreover, we have heard somo of
the members speak. Who is it

good English for them but those con
ncctcd with the Democratic Press =?

In Louisiana Bill has been introduced
under the title of Regulating Public Edu-
cation" Tho object is really to compel the
whites to send their children to the same
schools with those of the black race, and in

imprisonment
lhe nth section provides that all chill.

Shall attend school at least six months in

on being admonslcd, do not cause them so
10 attend, q Justice Of tho peace may fuo

qucnt ones, and after three such admoni
tions, the State Board is authorized, "to
take such children or wards and give them
instruction at least five months in each yc -
III such school or place of correction Ms
shall be provided by the Board for tha, pur-
pose, ut the expense Of parents.
In ailndng TO this section the New Or
leans Hcoy""c s"ys: "This is enough to
damn the whole Bill. We have very liIlle
idea it can pass in the present shape. We
can hardly suppose even the House would
adopt measure SO odious and inouisitorial
and SO oppressive and full of outrage on tho
rights OF both parent and child. II will
stir up civil war if nothing clso will which
