From Saturday evening list up to WcGnes-
day our town has been the seat Of much COM
motion. There has been some talk Of ku-klux
in Florence ever since the killiGg of Daniel j
Edwards, in Williamsburg County, which un-
fortunately was reported TO have occurred In
Darlington County, where Edwards formerly
resided. On Saturday afternoon last white
citizen of this place fired upon James Baisley,
colored man, under the impression that
Baisley had threatened his life. That night
the colored people were flying to arms, and
CRYING, .Ku-KluX Ku-kluX!" A little girl
said she saw mounted and armed men ride up
and hitch their horses In the bushes on the
north of the Wilmington Railroad. rhe color
ed citizens very promptly secured the bushes,
but finding no XII -Klux, most OF them retired
to their homes. 4 few, however, renamed
out and under arms, marching, conntermarcn-
ing, firing, and threatening vengeance on
everybody aud ererybody's property. II SIN
gle colored man was Ku-kuxed.. When re-
quested TO desist, they said white cilizen
was allowed to fire Hn u c0lored man, anu tney
would not be stopped. On Sunday night they
were asain out with their arms, but not firing
On Monday night they were out IN larger num-
bers, and nearly all armed, but quiet, except
threats OF vengeance on Kll-kluX. On Mon
day evening O reported Ku-kluX was afrested
here by the sheriff. 1. Is reported that he
conIesses to being of the "White Brother
hood" but no Ku-Rlnx. The party so arrested
is an unlettered, dark Commissioned laboring
man named Sweat, originally from Marlboro',
aui has been regarded az colored man. He
IL said to have been nlan OF low character ut
home, and his statements ought TO be taken
with great caution. is reported there IRE
other Ku-KluX about here, and Steps are be
Ing taken for their apprehension. After II was
snen and known that the town authorities
fined, and the trial justice arrested and COM
mitted, the white citizen who fired in the
streets upon colored man, the disturbances
subsidized, aud we are now restored, we hope,
to our wonted peace.

There is still later news of DR.. Living
stone, the African explorer. The dispatch
comes by way OF Bombay, from the Island of
Zanzibar, situated on the eastern coast Of At
rlca, near the sixth parallel Of latitute. The
intrepid traveller is said to be alive and well,
though he has been stripped of everything
that might facilitate his return 10 civilization.
There is no reason to doubt the authenticity Of
the news, since it has, doubtless, come in the
form of a direct communication to Living
stones friend, Dr. Kirk, the British Consul at
Zanzibar. The Portuguese story Of his muir
der has long since been exploded; and this is
the third authentic tidings that have reached
us OF DR.. Livingstone within six months. He
may therefore, be assumed to be making the
best OF his way to the coast, with intelligence
of unknown nations and freshly discovered
realms.

THE STATE 1UNAT1c AsY1UM.
Its Management Under the New Regime
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.
SIR-Among the just causes for complaint
on the part of the May Convention is the
'pecular" management of the State Lnnatic
Asylum. The salary Of the superintendent
including board for family and servants
amounts to more than the salary Of the Gov.
ernor of the State, being twenty-five hundred
dollars, besides the perquisites Indicated. Blu,
the salary is nothing. Here is an institution.
costing sixty thousand dollars year, In which
the Superintendent makes accounts and ap-
proves them himself. Formerly the bills were
examined by q regent appointed, for the pur-
pose, and, If found correct, approved. They
were afterwards submitted to the board for
examination. Formerly, when patient en-
tered the asylum, his name was registered on
the books of the superintendent, and the
financial account kept by the secretary had to
correspond with the books of the superin-
tendent. No,o. patient may enter and
money be paid without any record being kept
In the matter, for the superintendent IS also
secretary and treasurer 1t is the same-as II
the Governor were the treasurer and comp
troller-general.
The big thing, however, is to come. Hlth-
erto the State paid, for maintenance OF pauper
patients, between ten and eleven thousand
dollars year; and this is all the law now re-
qulres. Yet an appropriation has been made
tor this purpose of thirty thousand dollars,
while the counties are taxed the same asusual.
This will be a clear gain. Nineteen thousand
dollars. to whom? And who knows whether
The institution will not be as much in debt next
year us ever before? Again: The money is
drawn ,ogbeaa vouchers. IT. drawn on the
simple request OF the superintendent and phy'
sician and secretary and treasurer, who is one
and the same person. How different Is all
this from the manner In which the institution
was conducted under Dr.. Parker.
And who is this new superintendent? A
man Of very limited education, from Maryland,
who entered the Federal Army and came here
TO serve the "Bureau"-a man who Is in no
wise competent for the position he holds, and
not to be compared with either of the former
superintendents, nor with any Of the many
distinguished physicians in Columbia Bad as
it is to have such man in charge of unfortll-
nate patients, it strikes one more absurdly to
think OF his managing the finances without re-
straint. B. P.S.

1mDrorement Suggested in the Com.
mon school Methods.

New England is finding out that the
common school system, OF which she has
been Justly proud, is still far from perfect.
Mr.. Warren johnson, State Superintend-
ent Of Schools in Maine, has Issued a cir
cular making some new suggestions. He
advocates uniformity Of textbooks, more
care in the appointment Of teachers, com
pulsory attendance, better classification
Of pupils, and increased school revenues
Mr.. johnson sensibly says: "Eradi'
cate from the course Of common
school study much Of the present
rubbish Of higher algebra, puzzling with
metrical conundrums, superhuous guess
ing OF words called parsiDg, and the ~,
tile memorizing Of geographical names"
He would have ordinary education EN-
brace "readipg with spelling, writing with
drawing, arithmetic with mechanics
geography with natural philosophy, gram
mar with English composition" There
appears to US 10 be q great deal OF virtue
in Superintendent Johnson'S "withs," fol
the whole secret Of harmonious and phil
osophical acquisition is contained in them

A LOCAL SENSATION AT WASHINGTON.
Society circles at Washington are much
excited in consequence Of the refusal Of
the Catholic clergy to perform the mar
riage ceremony next week OF the wedding
ofMr. Rangabe, Greek Charge d'AiEaires,
and Miss Gcrolt, the daughter OF Baron
Gerolt. The reason Of this refusal is that
the parties intend TO have the marriage
also solemnizcd in New York, according
to the rites Of the Greek Church, the
young lady being Roman Catholic,
while Mr.. RaDgabe is o member Of the
Greek Church. Tho Catholic priests in
Washington positively refuse TO perform
the ceremony, unless pledge Is
given that no other ceremony would be
performed. In consequence Of this course
by the Catholic clergy no ceremony will
bc had in Washington, and the contract
ing parties will proceed to New York on
Monday, and there be married. This Is q
great disappointment TO the Washington
friends, both Of the bride and groom, as
they had looked forward TO the approach

THERE is large class of persons in this
country who claim that the Indians can.
not be civilized. II the readiness with
which they take to drinking, gambling,
and other vices which are characteristics
Of civilized life Is not sufficient to refute
this statement, the red man loses no op.
pOrtunlty to furnish additional evidence
on the subject. Iu former times, when
people whom they disliked intruded upon
their hunting grounds, they had an ugly
way Of shooting him on sight. Now the
Indians in Montana have made a great
improvement upon this custom, and one
which shows that civilization Is dawning
upon them. They now raise toll.gates Al
the entrance to the grounds and charge 8

or crossing them. ItwOrks more protltG'
