and BY repeated bllndeFs discovered that
making stone drains in a bog, while It Is
capital mode OF getting rid Of the stone,
Is no way at all to make drains, / closed

Free Schools.

To Editor Of Ncms The Trustees
are very happy to notice the altered tone
of Republican, in your issue Of last week,
compared with his former article. lie
does not now assume that our existing
schools a"c formed upon an anli.repubi-
can basis or t.Iat they are for sonic an
mentioned crime; but. it now appears
that he thinks no schools whcrc colorcd
children are allowed to attend, will be
patronized by them on the account of
the prejudices of the uhites against the
colored. But we ask Republican how
a school can DC truly .fiee scheol, orga-
nizcd on Il Republican basis. aud be free
to al cl"Sses On the same conditions. and
yet either class be prohibited from at.
tending such schools Ifanother 9ee
school should be opened in this district
and should colorsd child wish to at.
tend, who has the right to drive said
colored child, from said free school ?
VIII Republican become the guardian
OF said school, and drive away an .ho
co!ored who might prefer to attend If
he shorld not do this, aud a colored child
should attend said school, would not tho
prejudice against the colored child
break up the school by scattering the
whites.
But as far rs we are able to iudne
the grent majority Of the white people
OF this section are opposed to uny Kind
oi free srh0oS. They regard free schools
as nuisance net to be tolerated by the
noble blooded aristocracy of ibis section
IL is looked upon us sort of n Yankee
and niggcr," institution which has been

all who lore he .South, and worsLin at
the shrine of her departed glory. They
will net vote for free schools nor ma
troni2o free schools, but they hold them
ali III the same repute as the Bureau
schools the like to which Rcpubl can re-
fers. We have good reason to think
this, for even Republican advocates his

The United States Scnatorsilip.

This election came off on Wednesday
last. II. j. Robertson was reelected by Il
complimentary majority. The contest
WAS warm in the extreme, and every spc-
cies of elcctioneering rcsorted to and ex-
haustod. Several colorcd candidates
were in the field, and who, to Judge from
the drifts of their appeals to color, would
never have dreamed Of running for u.
S. Senator. had it been their fortune or
misfortune to have been born white
"Our poor oppressed colorcd race" WAS
the cry Of every black man that offered
himself for the position OF it's eilectu-
ality, even upon the sable portion of our
Legislature, let the result of tle STRUGGLE
attest
Now We have no objection 10 a color
ed man being elected to the Senate Of
the United States from South Carolina
but VIC do object to one gcin; there to
represent exclusively Ills own hue aud
complexion. We do not pretend to say
however, that either of the candidates.
who solicited the votes Of our General
Assembly on "Wednesday last for that
position, were guilty Of such Intentions
bat we do cmphatically assert that their
appeals to color were indicative of such.
AS it is, Robertson is reelected. He
is an energetic and hard working man.
For these and other reasons, we are glad
of his success.
To stay at home, is the fate Of those
who made their moutnfu and plaiutivc
appeals to "men of our color" Exueri
once, perhaps, will yet be severe enough,
especially, in The cases of these men, to
teach them that to know r,au on ac-
count Of previous condition race or coler,
is unrcrubIican, and that those who
thus Discriminate, will ere long meet
that oblivion which such course must
necessarily create for them. 1t is
pathetic way OF talking, We admit, but to
shy the least of, very incil"ctual My
poor oppressed color" Now isn't that
pure Eepublicanisn? Over the left.
Away with such, we say
