THE REWARD OF PUBLIC MEN.

From the NJ Y. Times
1t is. in a word, TO be abused when living
and praised when dead. The eulogies lately
pronounced upon Senator Fessenden only
serve to give fresh force to the reproach that
it is impossible for an eminent man to obtain
justice until he is no longer in the world to
hear its voice That a mans merits should
so seldom be discussed during his lifetime
would pass as one of the mysteries of fate if
we did not remember that in party warfare
few are disposed to exercise fairness-fewer
still, magnanimity. 1t is but a short time
ago that Senator Fessenden was accused of
the worst offense politician can commit
Even the odious charge of corruption was
laid at his door Now comes the tardy
acknowledgment that he was a man of
high principle and answering integrity
although one of his recent censors adds. as if
in surprise, that he never rendered those ser
vices to his country which his ability justified
us in looking for. Is it, then, the way to eX-
tract great services from any man to brand
him as false to his party and his principles, to
proclaim him political outlaw, to vilify his
character, misrepresent his motives, and
cover him and all his acts with suspicion
Generosity towards the dead is easily rem
dered it costs no sacrifice to praise those who
are removed from our path forever But one
act of Justice to the living is worth all the
grand funeral eulogiums that were ever de-
hvered. A short memory for faults and a long
one for good services, this is the treatment
which ennobles the strife of politics, but few
are so fortunate as to receive it. 1t is deemed
enough to throw flowers on the dead, who,
but few hours before was the object of
pitiless storm of obloquy. If hattery could
''soothe the dull cold ear of death, the hard
words once levelled at Senator Fessenden
would be amply atoned for. One-half of the
commendation layished upon him now would
have frightened many an hour Of his life.
But in his case, as in many Others sympathy
is only conceded when the spirit it could have
inspired to fresh exertions has passed away.
1t is an old story, but its perpetual recurrence
is far from demonstrating the unerring wis
dom Of human Judgment.

use of any of the fetters by which he would
trammel and impede the free and triumphant
exercise of womans thought. She certainly
paddles her controversial and apostolic
canoe without the least reference to his incul-
cations. She has not demonstrated the good
sense nor the good taste of Mrs Stoves
unfortunate publication, nor has she evinced
her own capability to deal wisely with OBJ
scure and intricate questions of social science.
She has made one broad and reckless asser-
ton touching the frequency of unnatural
relations between kindred. She owes the
public an explanation. If she chooses to
make it, our columns, to any reasonable
length are open to her. If she has any proof
of what she AYERS, let her bring it forward.
If not, let her confess that she has, in the
heat of her ZEAL made most blasting and
unjust accusation against society. and duly
express her contriton therefor.

THE CONTEST IN PENNSYLVANIA.

The Democratic party of Pennsylvania have re-
solved to make the 18th Amendment to the Fede-
raj Constitution prominent issue in the present
political campaign. This Amendment has been
ratified by the Legislature in defiance Of the Con-
stitution Of that State. This ratification is the
work of Radical majority, is received and &C.
cepted by the Radical party as complete and fnal
notwithstanding the fact the Stute Constitution
which gives no right of suffrage to colored pop
ulstion of 50,949 remains unalered The State
Constitution of Pennsylvania gives the right Of
suffrage oeuery chite male freeman of the age Of Il
years who have resided in the State one year, and
in his election district ten days prior TO the elec-
ton, and who has within two years paid State
and county tax. II was openly admitted by the
Radical majority of the Pennsylvania Legislature
that if passed upon by the people, the Fifteenth
Amendment would be defeated.
The Democracy, therefore, enter this campaign
with the confidence which this admission gives, as
the ASSISTANTS of the Radical party, for the bold,
shameless fraud which they have prscticed upon
the people by the surrender to the, Radical Con-
gress of the right to control the elective franchise
which The State reserved at the formation of the
Federal Constitution.

DAVIDSON COLLEGE.

The advertisement Of this institution of learning
appears in our columns Many of the students
during the past collegiate year were from South
Carolina, and we are pleased to learn that Mr..
JAMES B. SMITH, of this county, occupied the
highest position in his class We append q
abort description Of the advantages afforded by
this College:
Davidson College is situated on the line Of the
Atlantic, Tennessee and Ohio Railroad, twenty
miles from Charlotte and by design about equi-
distant from the four towns of Charlotte, States
Vile, Salisbury and Concord The main building
is spacious and elegant, having been erected Just
before the war at On expense of about S9O,OOO.
This with the other buildings in the enclosure al
fords ample accommodations for large number of
students. Besides q considerable tract of laId
around the College, the enclosure around the
buildings contains about twenty-five acres planted
in trees. The site of the College and village is
remarkable for its health and entirely free from
any local sickness at all times of the year.
The village of Davidson College affords small
but pleasant society, composed mainly of the fam
lilies of the officers of the College and others in
some way connected with it. The country around
is thickly settled with population remarkable for
its morality. The means of living are cheap and
abundant, and the remoteness from towns tends to
remove all temptation to vice and extravaganza.
Though instituted and under the care of the
Presbyterians, the advantages of the institution
are freely and equally extended to all students OF
good moral character, the design of the founders
being "to extend the blessings of liberal educa-
ton to all classes of the community prepared to
epioy them"
