Suicidal Policy.

The Reconstruction Convention (says the Char
lesion Nces,) has made grcnt blunder in its
Legislation. The prejudices of race md the pub
lie opinion of tho country arc outraged BY the
section adopted on Monday,-:O the effect that
all the public schools, colleges md universities Of
tho State supported by the public funds. shall be
free and open to all the children and youths OF
the State without regard to race or color. The
privileges of education could have been secured
by provisions other than those that required the
mixing of blacks and whites together. Every
such attempt awakens animosity, and will occa-
sion conflict. In the name of public order and
common ,onso, what is there toprevent the blacks
from being taught in institutions expressly pro-
yided Cor them2 What is there to require these
odious intermixtures? Arc we not humiliated
enough already, without seeing our poor old State
clothed in robe of motley2 Is it impossible to
reconstruct our disordered society without rsdu-
cling it to the degradation Of Mexico?
In the interests of the colored people as we'll
as Of the whites we protest against this frightful
legislation. The time will come, sooner or later,
whom those who are now powerles: will resume
the influence which laws cannot confer or perma-
nently arrest And when tho reaction comes,
these attempts at amalgamation, now kosnly felt,
will DO Indignantly embered.

Most Horrible Murder.

On the night of Wednesday, the 18th inst, Mrs
section of our District, was most barbarously
murdered. Mrs. ELKINs was still young woman,
the mother Of three small children, the youngest
an infant OF five months. We are informed that
Mr.. WM. ELkISs, the husband and father, who is
manned Confederate soldier, was absent from
home, at the time this murder was committed, on
visit to IN uncle living in the ncighborhood. And
that when he returned to his home, ut 10 o'clock
at night, the unfortunate man found the dead
body Of his wife lying in the yard, the face and
head most horribly crushed and shattered as if
by blows from an axe or heavy iron shovel. And
that in the absence of her husband, no ono re-
mained with Mrs. ELKIYo save her children and
the nurse of her infa- tho latter young col
ored ga.
The whole affair, however, is rs yet involved in
SO much mystery that We deem il wise, before
saying more on the subject, to wait for further
Developments. The citizens of the neighbor-
are boldly On the alert to unravel the mystery
and bring the perpetrator or perpetrators to jus
ticc. On Saturday last, seven negroes, six men
and one woman, the nurse above mentioned, if
We mistake not, were brought from Dark Corner
and lodged in the Jail Of this town. The gentle
men who brought these negroes are Messrs j. s..
Cartcdge, S. C. Cartledgc, w. R. Parks, A. c..
PARKS, N. N. Cartledgo, and ]. P. Sharpton.
Perhaps in the next issue of the Adserti'er, we
may be able to speak with more safety and GER
taiuty concerning this dark and melancholy deed
