THE FAILURE TO ESTABLISH COMMON

The FAILURE TO ESTABLISH COMMON
Scuoo1s.-.Some days sinee-in touching
upon the manner in which, one by one,
the old.time slanders that stirred up the
North against the South were meeting a
revelation of their true character-we had
occasion to say that the New England
common. school system never had been,
and was not now, possible in the South,
owing to the sparseness of the population.
1t was also our statement that the recon-
structed State authorities -carpet-baggers
chiefly from New England-had endeav-
ored to set this system in operations; but,
in at least one State, we find that we have
given them too much credit even for the
effort. The Raleigh IN. CO. Sentinel, in
its issue of ths llth instant, says 'there
is, 80 far as we know, but one school in
the State sustained by public authority,
and that is a shameful mockery and bur-
lesoue upon the name of education" 1t
appears, aliunde, that this school is the
State University at Chapel Hill-that
quaudom seat Of learning once rendered
iiustrious by many eminent men, among
them Thomas Hart Benton. Under the
new regime, crew of ignorant, underbred
adventures are thrust in the professional
chairs of this institution, itu doors are open
to the meanest corn-6eld negro, and the
youth of the State, ence trooping to its
famous campus, now shun it as they would
the plague. The whites will not, the ne.
groes cannot, 60 there. "Chapel Hill"
saws the Sentinel, "once the proud seat of
learning and philosophy, is now-alas!
how soon IA place of educational desola-
ton and sad memories" The common
school system of North Carolina is a mere
nullity, not even the reconstructed law
being operative; the University is desc
late the entire school fund-all fines, for.
FIXTURES, proceeds of land sales, together
with so much of the ordinary revenue of
the State as may be necessary"-is in the
power of nest of thieving vipers, and,
says the Sentinel, "there is no such thing
among US as popular education" The
fruits of reconstruction are as rotten as
the tree.-Ne,o York World.

RATES OF ADVERTISING.
rAw REeARDINe NEWSPAPERS.

Some persons imagine that they can subscribe
fer newspaper and in whimsical mood cease to
take it from the post-ofce. and there their respOn-
sibiliy ends the reverse is the case. as will be
seen by the following:
Decision OF The CoUars.-Any person who
takes paper regularly from the Post Office
whether directed to his name or another, or
whether he has subscribed or not, is responsible
for the pay. If person orders his paper discon'
tinued he must pay all arrearages or the publish
er may continue to send it until payment is made,
and collect the whole amount, whether it is taken
from the Office or not. The courts have decided
that refusing to take newspapers and periodicals
from the post-offce, or removing and leaving them
uncalled for, is pra acie evidence Of intentional
fraud.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1869-09-23

SIMPLICITY OF DREss.--Female lowell
ness never appears to 90 good advantage
as when set off with simplicity of dress.
No artist ever decks his angels with tow.
ering feathers and gaudy jewelry; and
our dear human angels if they would
make good their title to that name, should
carefully avoid ornaments, which proper
ly belong to Indian squaws and African
prineesses. These tinselries may serve
to give effect On tho stage, or on ball.
room floor, but in daily life there is no
substitute for the charm Of simplicity.
A vulgar taste is not to be disguised by
gold. or diamonds. The absence OF q true
taste and refinement Of delieacy cannot
be compensated for by the possession of
the most princely fortune. Mind meas
ures gold but gold cannot measure mind.
Through dress the mind may be read
as through the delicate tissues of the let
tered page. A modest woman will dress
modestly really refined and intellectu.
al woman will bear tho marks of. careful
selection and faultless taste.

A Fighting Editor.

The proprietors of the Boston Satur-
day Evening Erpress have recently en-
gagged the services, as permanent fixture
of their establishment, of fighting edi.
tor. They thus announce the fact:
"We have the sublime pleasure to an
nouace to the deputy State constables,

by US in order that we may have an equal
show with all belligerents who desire to
get proper satisfaction for anything we
may say. The gentleman engaged for
this purpose informs us that he has been
in the business for some fifteen years, and
that lie is fully competent to attend to all
the duties required of him. As recon.
mendation, he informs US that during his
career as fighting editor of various news
papers he has succeeded in biting off some
sixteen noses and twenty ears, and gouged
out nearly forty eyes, having them now
all nicely preserved in glass bottle,
which he is willing to exhibit to any one
who desires it. He also informs us, that
besides being a good bitor, he has broken
several arms and legs of his numerous an
tagonists. He has also killed six men by
throwing them out Of the editorial win
dow, and has broken three spin columns
by knocking the owners thereof down
several flight of stairs. He is an infdel,
and has no fears of a hereafter.

A LIVE MANS ESTATE ADMINISTERED
UPoN.-One of the New York papers
gives the following account of an admin
istration upon q mans estate before his
decease:
Twenty years ago man living in this
city made deposit of money in savings
bank here. He then went away For
fifteen years he was not heard from.
About FIVE years ago another man applied
10 the surrogate Tor letters Of administra-
ton upon the estate OF the man who had
deposited the money in the bank. He
represented that the deposition was dead,
and he was appointed administrator upon
the depositor's estate. He then went to
the bank and demanded the money. Al
though he did not present the bank book
which is furnished to depositors, the off,
GERS were satisfied that all was right, and
paid over the money to him. The absent
depositor recently returned to New York.
He went To the bank, showed his bank
book to the officers, and asked for his
money. The compound interest had
made the amount about twenty-six hum
dred dollars.
The officers recognized the man as the
one vino had placed the money in their
keeping, and admitted the authenticity OF
his bank-book, and that, if it bad not
been for the administration upon his
property, he would be entitled to his
money. They informed him that they
paid it to his administrator, and referred
him to that person, whose name he had
never before even beard, for the missing
sum. The teller wrote upon his bank
book, "Wo refer you to your own admin
is1rator." The depositor hus thus far
been unable to find the man who took his
money. 1t is understood that he has com.
mcnced proceedings against the bank.
The case will raise some novel and very
interesting questions Of law. 1t would
seem that there is little difficulty in New
York in taking out letters of administra-
tion upon the estates of living persons,
Judging from the facts of this case.

GENERAL RAwL1Ss.-The testimo

GENERAL RAwLINs.-The testimony
seems to be universal that, in the death
of General Rawlins, the South has lost q
powe. full friend. He fought us in the day
of battle; but, like man of heroic soul,
he rcbnked the wantonness of those who
continued the warfare in state of peace.
At the last Cabinet meeting he attended.
he denounced military and carpet-bag
domination. On his death-bed, he eur.
nestly hoped that the South would not be
humiliated, intimating that her humiIia-
tion would cause regrets to many when
they were so near eternity as he was at
that time. His ardent desire to see Grant
before hs died, was, no doubt, in this con.
nection. The President could not, or
would not, leave his revelry in time to
soc his expiring friend in this world
What will become of Grant now that his
only merciIul monitor is gone? What
new demonism will be launched against
the South now that the most redoubtabie
frieud she had in the camp of her enemies
is dumb, cold and dead?
There is something in the departure of
this man, enemy though he was once,
that touches pathetic chord in our
hearts; and, as he was knightly oppo!
nent in war and generous adversary in
peace, and solicitous friend us he passed
into the Wiley of the Shadow, we would
willingly place garland upon his grave,
remem bering only what was divine in his
nature, and trusting that his last words
had an echo in Heaven, when he besought
the Invisible to ''raise him up."-Augasta
