KINa's MOUNTAIN MILITARY ScHooL.-Col.
A. Coward, the accomplished and enterprising
principal of this Institution for young men, is re-
ceiving the reward Of his patience and industry.
The present session of the School has opened with
full classes, the number being fully as great as can
be accommodated, with the facilities now at hand.
For the ensuing session arrangements will be made
for the admission of a much larger number. There
is no school in the State, of which we have any
knowledge, that eommends itself nor favoraby to
the patronage Of the public than the one over
which Col. Coward presides. %%1s
The YeRKv1LLE FEMALE COLLEGE, With full
CORPS of competent instructors, is hooking onward
and upward. The roll for the present session con-
tains the names of over sixty young ladies present,
and a stin larger number is expected during the
present month. Mrs N. A. ThornweIl stiH pre-
sides over the boarding department; while the
Revs. R. B. Anderson, FL. r. Dickson and W.
W. Carothers, and Misses Emma, Julia and Jo-
sephine Manigault retain their places as instruct
ors This College is admirably organized and ably
conducted. There is still room for more, and pa
rents and guardians cannot do better than to in
ouire into the merits of this institution before
sending elsewhere. .'.'-' ~

of debating societies, but do not think it good pol
icyito maintain one in Columbia at theco OF more
than one thousand dollars day. This is what
men are saying, and it is proper that the members
should know Il. Members doubtless feel that they
are making some progress in matters in which
haste is not advisable or right. But they should
ALSO to some degree, regard what the people think
and say.
Laws relating to schools, land and wages, 30 far
as they are needed, can surely be passed in few
days. These are the subjects Of principal impor;;
lance. Wehad hoped for some railroad laws, and
still feel that the Legislature ought to furnish a
rule of low fares and cheap feights; and more, we
feel that the Legislature is neglecting it deliberate
ly, and knowingly negects the interests of the peo-
pie they profess to represent But if these Laws
cannot be passed in few days, they cannot be
passed at all at the present session.
We are sure that the interests of our party and
our State alike require speedy completion Of the
business of the session, and adjournment Let de-
bate be restricted to fifteen or ten minutes, hll-
clustering" be choked off, evening sessions be held,
and committees be instructed to report at specl-
fed time These measures willaccelerate business
IF with diligent effort longer time is consumed we
shall not complain, and the people will not But
they do very properly ask to see dligent effort to
finish up the public business within reasonable
time, and at reasonable expense.

RE.opEN1NG OF MAIL ROUTES.

The North Carolina Legislature has passed q
bill requesting Congress to reopen all the mail
routes in that State which existed before the war
This is step in the right direction and the Leg.

the very best kind of reconstruction for the South
Marked advance in prosperity cannot be well &C,
complished without free and regular communica,
ton with other parts of the country, as experience
has fully proved. Since the war, the advantages
of regular mails have been gradually restored
throughout the South by the re-opening Of old
routes; but many Of these are still closed. The
neighborhoods lying along these closed routes
ought not to allow the matter to rest so. By con-
slant and persistent effort we think, they can sue
ceed in having their maiLroutes re-estabGshed.

hogs packed in the West the present season, vii
fall short of the last packing season about 300 OO(
hogs, and in no case can it be far enough from
this point to change the result essentially. I
seems to us that the weight will not differ much
from that of last season., and we think, from infor

ference in the yield lard ifany it will be agains

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Congress, during the past week, has been en-
ployed in the discussion of many bills, both OF q
public and private nature; but definite action has
been taken only in few cases. The appropria-
tons for the various departments Of the govern
ment are the principal bone of contention. These
appropriations must be made before Congress ad-
journs in order to keep the machinery of the gov
ernment in motion. But members with desire
to appear economical in the distribution of the
people money, are haggling about the amounts
to be appropriated to certain departments. All
think the expenditures of the government are too
great, and all are in favor of retrenchment but
each is in favor of retrenching in some quarter
which will not injure his particular friends. For
instance, the Eastern members want reduction
of the expenses of the Indian bureau, while the
Western members oppose it, and desire less ex-
pensive Navy.
The House has passed, by a two-thirds vote, the
negro suffrage amendment, which may be seen in
full in another column.
The Secretary of War was interrogated by the
House. whether any District Commander has turn
ed over to the civil authority, for trial or punish
ment, any person tried or convicted by military
tribunals. ,... -....
A resolution admitting the Dominican republic
as territory of the Union, was tabled in the
House, by a vote Of ITO to 62.
On the 4th the debates of the House were en-
livened by Mr.. Holbrook, delegate from Idaho
Territory, who accused our old friend Butler, Of
Massachusetts,, of wilful lying. Having refused to
retract his language when called to order, Mr..
Holbrook, by vote of the House, was censured
by the Speaker.
In the Senate, two bills of Importance have been
introduced One of these is to create new Ca.
binet officer, to be known as the Secretary of the
Home Department, who is to have under his con-
troll the Land Office, the Indian Bureau, the Freed
mems s Bureau and mining affairs
The other is bill to re-organize the Fedora
Judiciary. 1t provides for nine Judges of the Su
preme Court and for the appointment of Circuit
| judges

THE PROSPECT FOR BACON.

The circular of q pork-hou in st. Lous gives
the following report as to the prospect the meat
supply of the West for this year. If the case be
as it is stated the people of the South will be un-
der the necessity of paying high prices for their
bacon, unless they succeed in making 1t at home.
Whether the report be true or not it IS to their
advantage to make enough meat for home con-
sumption; for, by so doing, they place themselves
above the danger Of paying out a large share Of
their profits on cotton, for the purchase of provi
sions
It is true there are difficulties in the way, not
the least of which is the taste for fresh pork pos
sessed by some freedmen. Still, the question is to
be decided, whether the risk of loss from stolen
hogs is greater than that from high prices next
fall and winter. We give the statement, as re-
ported by one who is in position to know
merely remarking that the present high price of
bacon confirms his impressions. The report says:
''Evidence daily accumulates, going to show that
the present year the South will demand and con,
sumo double the quantity Of provisions that she did
last year. In view of this fact, what is the cond-
ton of the trade in the hog product of the West at
this time? The South is consuming meat Of the
new crop, while the old stock was consumed long
before the new cure could go forward This is un-
usual for the season, and is of great Importance
In the face of this fact, we have the evidence that
there is an even chance for small crop Of hogs to
give us the meat for the coming wants. Could
we but come up to last years crop, we should then
be deficient, for that only met the necessities which
were cramped by the lack of means to pay. Now,
with increased facilities for payment, and con.
sumption 30 far Of the new crop, astonishing and
unusual, and yet legitimate, as We have before this
ranoorked the "hop product' is to be short this
year in any event that can nov. occur Some wri-
ters are descanting upon the fact that the higher
prices are checking the importationns. To our
minds this is of little concern, for, from present
appearances the West will have no provisions to
send out of the country. The home consumption
be much as ye ca? meet and ma may mot
forward in larger supply than they have done
thus far, and that a majority predict they will
Relative to high prices, we state, without fear Of
contradiction, that he who buys hogs at sl cents
gross and sell the product at the. present rates,
loses money on every hog 50 slaughtered One
thing is palpable, either hogs must come down in

The House, on the 3rd instant, passed the pro-
posed 18th Amendment, enacting universal suf-
frage in all the States of the Union. by vote OF
$50 to AZ. 1t is as follows:
ARTICLE Is.
Sec. l. The right of any citizen of the United
States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by
the United States or any State, by reason OF race,
color or previous condition of slavery Of any citizen
or class of citizens of the United States.
SEC. . The Congress shall have power to en-.
force, by appropriate legislation, the provisions OF
this article.
The proposed amendment, having passed the
House by the requisite majority of two-thirds,
goes to the Senate which will probably pass it by
twothirds vote The legislatures Of three-fourths
of the States, thrtyseven in all, must ratty 1t be-
fore it can become an article Of the Constitution.
The vote of the States will test the North on the
question of negro suffrage at home. Their accep-
tance or rejection of this article will prove the SIN
cerity with which they have imposed this doctrine
upon the South If former votes Of Northern
States indicate the feeling Ct their people, the
amendment will be rejected.
There is however, way by which States con-
tanning comparatively small negro population
may still exclude the bulk Of them from the ballot
box. Although they be forbidden to deny sut-
fage on account of race color or previous slavery,
they will still possess the power to impose an edu-
cational or property qualification, which will effec-
tually keep nne-tenths Of the negroes in Northern
States from voting Such qualification would
also exclude some whites; but the laws of some of
these States have heretofore made reading and
writing an essential qualification for voter. 1t
is not improbable, therefore, that with the reserved
privilege of whipping the devil round the stump,
some of the Republican States which voted down
negro suffrage by such vast majorities last fall,
NAV reverse their decision when the question is
again presented, and thus make the 18th amend
ment part of the constitution. -I -.
