Papal Infallibility.

This dogma, so little understood,
outside of Catholic communities, has
recently been explained by Vicar Gen
eral Stars, in St. Patrick's Church,
New York. We give his explanation
of it, for the benefit of those Of our
readers, who, like ourself, have been
unable to comprehend either its limit
or extent, and who have been anxious,
from some authoritative quarter, to
receive a full definition of it.
"The Pope" says Vicar General
STARS, ''is fallible as other men, and
no Catholic believes that he may not
err in doctrine, in preaching and in
conduct the same as other men,"
The Vicar. General puts the case as
parallel to the decisions of the Su-
prcme Court of the United States
from them there can be no appeal, and
are to be acted upon as if infallibly
right. So with the Pope, the highest
Judge in the ecclesiastical judicial sys-
ten. He said:
:Infallibility' means this, and no
more nor less; that the Pope, speak
ing cx cathcdra- officially from the
chair of St. Peter, declaring anything
as to matter of faith-is infallible.
This attribute belongs to all success
sors of St. Peter, the visible head of
the church. Christ prayed for St.
Peter that his faith might not fail, and
said, Peter, thou art the rock and
on this rock I will build my church,
and the gates of hell shall not prevail
against it. 4 give thee the keys Of
the kingdom of Heaven. Feed my
sheep and lambs &c.
"All that Christ gave Peter belongs
to his SUCCESSORS. AS Peter could not
live always, the power given him as
head of the church could not be per-
pctuatcd except as delegated authorl-
ty. This doctrine is, then, very SIM
pic and plain, when rightly viewed"

Judge WardlaW's Letter.

The letter of Judge Wardlaw to
General Kershaw, read by that
gentleman at one of the meetings
held Just after the visit Of tho Re-
form speakers to Abbeville, con-
denses the whole argument in
volved in the present canvass in a
few pointed and earnest words.
Retired as Judge Wardlaw is from
active participation in affairs, his
counsels are worthy tho most Sc
rious consideration, being the ut
tcrauces of one whose fine abilities,
long experience, profound knowl-
edge, and high character, give him
a position which is already historic.

vice Of a good, just and ablo man {:
AL3Ev1LLE, Aug. l, 1870.
My Dear General: Iregrct that
during your hurried visit to this
place I had not au opportunity for
full conference with you. The
labors for the public good in which
you arc engaged MORT my hearty
appreciation, and l trust will be
crowned with the success which
they deserve.
Who is not for an honest ad-
ministration of the affairs Of the
State? Abstract questions, upon
which heretofore parties differed,
are now superseded by practical
issues which involve tho honor,
perhaps the existence, of our
State. What is established must
be acknowledged. The means of
improvement left to US must not
be neglected in idle discomfort
with changes which have taken
place. Is their corruption in the
administration of our public af-
fairs? Are some of our public
Offices filed by mon either incom-
petent or dishonest? Have there
been shameful instances Of bribery
IN the Legislature Have the
guardians Of the public funds been
engaged in speculatlng with them
Tor their private advantage? Have
our crippled resources been bur
dcned by taxes imposed arbitrarily
and unjustly; the public debt en-
ormously increased, and the public
money squandered in wasteful OK
travagance? If these things bo
so, they must be corrected before
thoreturn of the State toprosperity
can be reasonably expected. Ev-
crv man who docs not derive some
advantages from misgovernment
has an interest in putting an end
TO it, and no way Of doing this IS
so plain as by turning out of Office
those who have misgoverncd.
| have withdrawn from public
affairs, but cannot forbcar from
giving my hearty commendation
to those who are striving to expose
and correct public abuses.
With high regard, I am truly
yours, D. L. WARDLAw.

ASUGGEsTIoN FOR ScHooLs.-We
commend to the earnest persual of
pareuts the appended suggestions
upon subject of paramount I'M
portance:
They have a delightful custom
in the Swiss schools for boys,
which might be adopted with
great advantage to all concerned
in this country. During the weeks
o:the summer vacation, it is the
habit Of the teachers to make with
their pupils, what are called vog-
ages enzig=ig; i. Q. pedestrian tours
among the sublime mountains and
charming valleys of that land of
beauty and grandeur. Squads of
little follows in their blouses, with
their tough boots drawn on, and
knapsacks on their back, may be
met, during the season, on all the
highways, aud sometimes in the
remotest passes on the Alps, as
chirrupy as the birds on the boughs,
and as light and bounding as tho
chamois who leap from crag to
crag. They arc perfect pictures
Of health and happiness, and tho

precipices Of the Beveut, walked

are made without danger and
without much expense, and

sometimes happen in the dark, as
witness the following: A gentle
men took passage on the Boston
express from New York ashort
time since, Just as the train wss
entering the Harlem tunnel he
opened bis handbag and took ont,
as be supposed, his linen duster,
spread it over the back Of his seat
to reserve it, and then went for

finishing his cigar he returned to
his seat, and as be entered his ear,
he was astonished to find the pas

over some unwonted spectacle,
Looking around for the Cause Of
this unseemly levity, his eye fell

Branded PEAcuEs.--IIavi

Branded PEAcnEs.--Having
had inquiries regarding the prop
or method for preserving peaches
in brandy, we clip the following
from an exchange, for the benefit
of those desiring information on
the subject "Gather peaches
before they are quite ripe; prick
them with a large needle and rub
off the down with a piece of fan
mel; put them into q preserving
can, with cold water enough to
cover them, and let tho water be-
como gradually scalding hot. If
the water does more than simmer
very slightly, or if the fro be
fierce, the fruit will be likely TO
crack. Whom they are tender,
lift them carefully out and fold
them in flannel or soft tablecloth
in several folds. Have readya quart
or more, as tie peaches require, o.

RAISE Your CoLrs.-It has
struck US often, in our obsorva-
tions on the rural economy Of our
people, that we are very generally
chargeable with great oversight
in our neglect of Using work
stock. We speak experimcntally
when we say that under most un-
favorable circumstances a colt can
be raised for about twenty-five
dollars, to working age, and a
mule tor about what it takes to
raise a calf. If ono doos not

ing by it's help, and he will see.
1t certainly cannot be mere fam
cy in us when We avow our strong
conviction Of the superior value Of
q Southern raised horse or mule.
We do rot hesitate to say that we
much prefer TIE animal which has
been reared hore to one matured
further North. Much Of the ad-
vantage in the difference, wo
think, results from the mode of
raising probably moro than in the
fact of climate. A colt Of any
kind, which from it's birth, is
forced and brought forward with
all expedition, that a prize may
be had for him as soon as possible,
must, we think, come into market
with q confirmed softness and an
immaturity which will not be
very conducive to a strong con-
stitution or much durability.
We have known Georgia raised
mules which, in their rearing,
Jared little botter than calves,
which wcre as gay colts, at fifteen
years Of age.

HOME CnEERFULNEss.-Many a
child goes astray, not because
there is a want Of prayer or virtue
at home, but simply because home
lacks sunshine. A child needs
smiles as much as flowers need
sunbcams. Children look little
beyond the present moment. If
thing pleascs, they are apt to
seek it if it displeascs, :hey are
prone to avoid it. If homo is the
place where faces arc sour, and
words harsh, and tault-fnding is
ever in the ascendant, they will
spend as many hours as possible
elsewhere. Let every father and
mother, then, try to be happy.
Let them talk to their children,
especially the little ones, in such
a way as to make them happy.

his OWL sake, as his old friends ard

A Comparison Of Wants.

| From an article which treats of
the Chinese, Mo extract the fol-
lowing:
Tho ratio of wages is said to de-
pend on supply and demand. The
rule is sound, but so equivocal that
it is worth butt little. Rate of wages
really depends on what tho work
man thinks will buy him the ne
cessities Of life. There are men in
England whose highest idea of
life is to work sixteen hours q day,
so naked, eat meat once a day,
herd, both sox>s, and all ages, with
cattle under one roof, and need
| only two hundred words to ex-
press all their ideas. Such men
will work for enough to supply
those natural wants. When Wa
ges fail fur below that they steal,
starye, or wake to an intellectual
effort to better themselves. Their
idea of necessities does much to
fix the rate Of wages. \ Yaukoe
farmers boy must have good
clothes, schooling, ample food and
something over. These are his
necessities. Whom wages will not
buy them, he ceases to belong to
the ranks Of supply" and carves
out a now career. Thore is good
food and high wages in the kitch-
ems OF New York; moro than
many trades afford. A great "de.
maud" there for American girls.
No supply" nevertheless. We
know that it is only o sentiment
that provon,s. But that sentiment
is rigid as iron and inexorable as
fate. Supply and demand" there
fore, are to be understood witk
qualification. Tho "ideas" Of the
supply" are o most important el-
ement in the calulation. What
are tho idcas Of tho supply ?"-
Those regulate his wages. The
Chinaman works cheap because
he is barbarian, and seeks graf
ification Of only the lowest, the
most inevitable Wants. The Amer
ican demands moro, because the
ages-becauso Homer and Plato,
Egypt and Rome, Luther and
Shakespeare, Cromwell and Wash
ington, the printing press and the
telegraph, the ballot-box and the
Bible, have made him ten times
as much a man. Bring the Chi
nese 20 US slowly, naturally, and
we shall soon lift him to the level
Of tho same artificial and civilized
wants that we feel, The capital
list and laborer will be both equally
helped. Fill our industrial chan
ncls with imported millions aud
you choke them ruinously. They
who seek to food US arti6cially
with barbarous labor are dragging
down the American home to the
level of tho houseless street herds
of China. If the workingmon
have not combined to prevent
this it is time they should. When
rich men couspire poor mon should
combine.

WHAT BREAKS Down Youxe
MEN.-lt is commonly received
notion that hard study is the un-
healthy element Of college life,
But from tables of-the mortality.
Of Hazard University, collected
by Professor Pierce, from the last
triennial catalogue, it is clearly
demonstrated that the excess of
death for the first ten years after,
graduation is found in that portion
of each class ofinferior scholarship
Every one who has seen the cur-
rieulum knows that where Eseby-
lus and political economy injure
one, late hours and run punches
use up a dozen and that the two
little fingers are heavier than tho

The Chicago ladies, in search of
"a mission" have happily hit up
On one that will suit the boys to q
charm. With 8 wealth Of love
which passeth human understand
ing, and a laudible zeal in the
cause of regeneration, they have
formed themselves into religlo-so-
cial societies, and, going out into
the highways at night, invite all
young men found lying around
! loose to walk into their parlors.
Here they are supplied with ice
cream and good counsel, music
and clicken-salad. The warnings
of the sinners fate are lisped to
them in sympathizing numbers,
and their deprayity is rebuked
with speaking eyes, rising on a
sea O. affcctionate compassion.-
They arc lured from further evil
ways not with CHASTITY threats of
the worm that never dies, but by
the winning softness of woman's
pursuasive eloouenco. Of course,
tho mission is destined to succeed.
Not al engine, base ball or target
company, but what will bo ready
to attend, en- masse, as long as the
ladies and the supper hold out.
But there's the rub. Will notthis
mission prove too successful? Will
not the candidates for regenera'
ton swell to such alarming pro-
portions as will bankrupt both
larders and hearts Will not the
little mischievous blind god slip
in and play the deuce with all Sc,
rious calculations, and occasional
episodes occur, in which the SIN
ner will capture and carry off the
angel? We fear all this. The
dream is too bright, too glorious,
to last. Still we advocate the at
tempt. We are willing to haunt
the highways in the neighborhood
of all houses with large and COM
forlable-looking supper rooms
Conversion upon such terms would
be no agony Of hardship, but Sim
ply bliss. We would be willing to
be converted over and over again,
until the patience Of ourfair coun-
selors, wore itself out, or stern pa
rients grew too economical in the
suppors. The Chicago ladies arc
now on the right track. We wish
them honor, success and legions
of imitators in their new mission,
which promises as its fruits a
greater revival than the world mas
Witnessed for many long day.

What is Our Duty ?

Tho Georgetown Times asks,
What is the duty Of those who,
like itsolf, doubted the expedlency
and policy Of the Reform Copvon-
ton? This is it's answer:
"Ne speak for ourselves, and
say, we zee but one course open
to US, and that is to give a hearty
and cordial support to the Reform
| movement. Considerations Of in.
terest alone, if no higher motive
prompted, should move every man
who has the honor and welfare of
South Carolina at heart, and who
has anything at stake, to use ev-
cry effort, and to do all in his
power, to drive from place and
| honor the greedy and Unsuitable
vulturss who are devouring our
substance, and soiling the fair
fame Of the State. Whatever
scruples some of US may have had
about the platform Of the Reform
party, should DO hushod into ST.
lence by the common dangers
which threaten US in the success
! Of the present mon in power
The platform upon which Hamp-
ton and Kershaw, Butlor and Con-
ner, Kennedy and Bouham can
stand, can bring no disgrace, dis
honor or reproach on any man.
No breath Of suspicion has ever,
CIR can ever, attach TO the integ-
rity, honor or patriotism Of oithor
Of them. Slander, with its foul
mouth, who spares 50 few, has
never dared to hurl one of its
| darts at either Of them. Men in
whom they can confde, may DO
safely trusted without any appre-
hension or foar that either the
honor of tho State or the intor-
ests of it's people will suffer any
| detriment when placed in their
keeping. We, therefore, call up
on all honest mon Of all parties
and all co!ors to rally to the sup
port Of Carpenter and Butler, for
it is an issue Of honesty against
dishonesty, of truth against false
hood, q decency against shame
