says:

OF tasc Charleston
Republican,.

Tho suspension of the Charleston
ltepublican is oigniGoant fact, but
the causes which are alleged by tho
editor in his valedictory, are still
more notable. AS tho officia, journal
Of our Radical Government, it was
supposed to receive it's life directly
from the Treasury of the State, while
at the same time it was hcaping upon
hor good people tho most malignant
slandcr and abuse. Delighting in
"Ku Klux outragcs," it never hcsi-
tated to manufacture them for any
desired OCCASION, and with persis
tcncy in evil doing, emincntly char,
aoteristlc of the Radical faotion in
our country, scattered broadcast in
the world its vile oalumnios. With
great ability, and with what it's own
party thought, too much deconcy, tho
Republican GOULD not survive, be.
cause eve have refused to be the me.
dunn for gratifying the petty spite
and personal hatred of individual" :"
60. But the truth is, that Repub-
loan paper cannot flourish in South
Carolina. The vast majority of tho
party, perhaps three fourths, are ut
tcrly ignorant and Indifferent to the
claims of their party organ, while the
leaders have by this timo discovered
that it isan expensive luxury.
Without being vindictive, we can
yet consign to iss grave, this Radical
sheet with little sorrow, and We may
even, perhaps, be SLOWED to dnlse
III some rejoicing at tho demise of our
late contemporary.

Cotton.

Planters, cotton factors and busi.
ness men generally look to, the press,
says the Augusta Constitutionalist,
tor information in regard to the grow.
ing crop, tho demands Of spinners and
the probable future price of the sta
pie. While exercising diligence in
collating and publishing all available
information in regard to this impor-
tant interest, we have always reluo-
tanee in rendering advice as to hold
ing or selling. Two years ago so did
advise our planters to malse quick
sales, and subsequent events proved
our views to be right. The market
declined rapidly and persistontly
from about % cents to III cents. =,
Now, with all tho statistics before
us rs 20 stock on hand. weekly con.
sumption and probable amount Of the
prcscnt crop, we feel confident chat if
planters do not rush to market, prices
will advance instead Of declining.
The fact that at this time Of tho year,
when new cotton is boipg marketed,
Liverpool quotations have been
steadily, although slowly advancing,
is very significant. Unless a foreign
war should occur this fall on the
Eastern question, which is very i'm.
probable, present prices must be firm.
ly sustained. We endorse the views
of our correspondent, "Willoughby,"
expressed in his letter last week, that
cotton will soon command tcn pence
in Liverpool. ''"''.

pays the teachers. Miss Rosetta Colt has
been the principal for two years past.
Miss Minnie Barth is first assistant Mrs.
Z. ). Rogers, tor a portion of the year, was
second assistant.
The examination of classes has occupied
most OF the past week. The closing exhibit
ton was held at the First Street Methodist
Episcopal church, On Friday last. A full
house heard with delight the original COM
positions, the Rotations, dialogues and i'm
presentations given with excellent effect.
DR.. Matlack, president of the directors of
this school returned from an absence of
weeks in Tennessee, in time to be present.
He opened the exercises. Miss Colt, how
ever, presided and directed the perform
ances with much dignity, and closed after
ward with some appropriate remarks.
Quietly, this normal school, true to its
proper sphere, pursues the work assigned
to it. The culture of its one hundred stu

is manifest and permanent. To the very
efficient lady who has had charge of it
since its organization, almost the entire
credit is due for all its success. So fully
have the board of directors learned to cor
