es in our country at two billions an
nually. This fact certainly demands
the attention of legislation to their in
terests. The tendency, particularly
apparent since the war, of legislating
for the rich and the poor as indepen-
dent classes cannot bo too much de-
preciated. AS an immediate result
the rich are growing richer and poor
poorer. The growing evil of sepa-
rate education for the children of the
rich involves both to them and to the
children of tho poor the loss of the
mutual benefit of early contact and
seriously impairs the interest of our
wealthier citizens in the public schools.

SPIRIT PuoroGRArns.-A tricky
photographer has been doing a good
business in New York by taking what
he called spirit photographs, for which
he obtained high price. Hc advcr.
tised that he would take portraits of
any one, with the spirit of any deceased
relative or friend who might happen
to be present Mt The time, standing in
the background. Sure enough there
was always a shady figure in the back
ground, which the sitters sometimes
thought rescmblcd their relatives, and
sometimes did not. The spirit, how
ever, was there, and they were salts
fled that it must be some departed
friend, even if they could not identify
it. The police, however, suspected
there was cheat in the operation,
and arrested the proprietor of the
gallery and his operator, and on cx-
animation it was proved that by ordi-
nary scientific and chemical means
just such shadowy pictures could be
produced by any photographer. So
another set of fools have the satisfac-
tion of knowing how easy it is to be
cheated.

ROW ABOUT DIVIDING TIE spoILs-
CREW VOWS vENGEANCE--WIlo
WROTE THAT FAMOUS LETTER.
COLUMBIA, April II.
There has been big fuss in the
Radioal camp, and from all / can
gather, it is only the beginning of a
bigger row.
1t appears that Governor Scott
promised the Office of Land Commits
sioncr to Joseph Crews, one of the
State House Of Representatives, and
then gave the Office to G. =. Leslie,
the Senator from Balnwell. This, of
course, riled Crews terribly, and he
swcars vengeance against the whole
party, vowing that he will expose
their schemes and tricks since they
have controlled the government.
Last nighv Governor Scott sent for
Crews and promised to give him some.
thing else if he would only keep quiet.
But Crews would not be Modified, and
cursed the whole establishment right
and left, saying that they had all we'll
feathcrcd their nests, and that all tho
spolls wcro given to Northern men.
lie would show them that it was too
late to talk ofbuying him. 1t prom
lses to be very pretty quarrel.
Blythe way, it has leaked out that
Governor Scotps letter to Mr.. G.. w.
Williams, in which thore was so much
praise of the Mercury and its late con-
ductors, and so much abuse of tho
Nc'Os, was written by Mr.. John Heart,
who was in former days one of the
propr'etors of the Mercury, and is now
Governor SCOTS private Secretary.

FATAL ArrnAy IN EDosriEEo.-Gn
Thursday last, (says the Edgefeld
Aduertiser,) Mr.. John Aubrey was
killed by Mr.. Andrew Meyer, Sr.
Mr.. AutreY was respectable citizen
living some eight or nine miles West
of the village, in the noighborhood of
Phillippi Church. Mr.. Meyer, equal
ly respectable, lives there still. Tt
seems that Meyer was owing Autrey,
and that the latter went on the said
Thursday, accompanied by a deputy
sheriff, to a field where Mover and
his son were ploughing, to levy upon
certain horse. The younger Meyer
resisted, and words or blows ensued,
the elder Meyer joined tho fray and
picking up stone, struck Autrey
such blow upon the head that he
soon died. Both the Meyers were
arrested and brought to this place on
Sunday last. On Monday morning
they departed for Columbia, under
charge of an oflice of the law, to
endeavor to give bail and return to
their home.

A QUEER CHARGE AGAINST SEcRE.
TAnY MISUNDERSTANDING other
queers things discovered by tho Com
mittee of Commerce to-day, in exam
ming the consular nomination.. was
that E. B. Washburne had procured
the appointment of a number of per-
sons from the State of Illinois and
had credited them to the Territories.
There is sort of a rule at the State
Department that each State shall
have q certain number of consuls, in
the ratio of their population and re-
presentation in Congress. Wash
burne, after giving Illinois her full
share, found that he had not supplied
the wants of all his friends, and pro-
eeeded to carpet-bag them over the
Territories. This is regarded as
about the coolest proceeding of the
astute and diplomatic Il. b. yet de.
veloped. d.-Ne,o York Herald.
