~. Minority representation is stron

nse- Minority representation is strong
ly advocated by certain Democratic pa
pers, now that the Democratic party is in
an almost hopeless minority in the State.
But were our party possessed OF the
numerical strength of the Radicals, with
majority of twenty or thirty thousand
voters in our favor, would we for mo

massof damnable putrescence-the thiev
ing, Shiny Carpet-Baggers, the roguish,
NANCY Scalawags, and their ignoranthe-

party-the faintest shadow of representa-

And we do not approve of begging mi
nority representation as crumb from
the Radical party, (even were we to de-

not under any circumstances return them
a like favor had we the power to grant it.

We are pleased to copy from the Cam

ant complimentary mention of Judge
Melton. the presiding Judge on our Cir

the Aduertiser columns with a frank en-
dorsement on our part:
HON. SAMUEL w. MELToN.-We hail
with pleasure the reelection of this dis

Fifth Judicial Circuit OF this State. 1t
has ever been matter of pride and con-
graduation to ourselves and the country,
that Judge Melton has so evenly welded
the sceptre of justice between our people,
and that his services in that particular
have been continued to u.s.. Although a
comparatively young man, Judge Melton
has not failed to impress the Bar with
his legal knowledge, and worn the ermino
in such manner as to excite the most
pleasant anticipations of success and use
fulness in the position to which he has
now, for the second time, been elected.

cottage, just below the mill site, was
awakened by the cracking of the flames
and discovered the mill was on fire.
Hastily awakening the inmates of the cot
tages in the vicinity of the mill, it was
found after they had gathered atthe burn
ing hat the fire had gained SO great head
way that the primitive means at their
command were entirely unavailable to
check the flames or even to save any of
the property. The building, with its
valuable contents, was soon reduced to
ashes. Tho mill had been placed in the
most complete order, not less than $i0,-
600 having been expended this Spring in
the introduction of improved machinery,
and on Tuesday morning, it was as per-
feet in its appointments as any paper mill
in the South. About forty operatives
were employed who are necessarily now
out of employment.
Nothing was saved from Sthe mill.
Nearly one thousand dollars worth of
newspaper, ready bundled in the finishing
rooms, was burned to ashes. A more
complete obliteration of a busy hive of in
dustry could not be imagined. The flames
were first discovered issuing from the
machine rooms, in the basement of the
building. The fire originated probably.
from the same cause that has destroyed
thousands of buildings, spontaneous COM
bustion. The loss will reach nearly $780,

TEACHERS.

How do teachers mean to spend vaca-
ton? In various ways no doubt. As
many are laying out for themselves a
course of reading, we should like to sug-
gest the propriety of reading such vol
umes of Barnes Teachers Library as can
be conveniently obtained. This Library
is certainly valuable. especially to teachers.
We hope to see the teachers preparing
themselves for the best methods in the
art of teaching. A great work must
have been done before the schools shall
become such models of excellence as we
desire to see them represent.
Our teachers must become readi ! g men
and women. Teaching is rapidly growing
into a profession. The spirit of the age
Is full of progress, and the teacher who
does not feel and see and knov that a
grand work is opening up before him, is
certainly walking through life with eyes
and Ears closed to the demands of the
hour. We want letter teaching IN the
future than we have had in the past. As
is the teacher, so is the school, has grown
a provcrb. The success of any
School system depends upon the efficiency
of the teacher.

THE FAIR.

There is danger that our people in dis
cussing the manifold political topics tina:
have of late occupied the minds Of can
didates especially, to the. exclusion of
everything else. may lose sight of aneth-
er enterprise of no small Importance in
this county. We refer to our County
Fair, the preparations for which have
been so long in process of completion.
We are happy now to announce to all in
terested that the race track is about fin
ished. and promises to be n much better
one than most persons expected, consid-
ering the nature of the ground, and the
other difficulties which had to be over
come before it was complete.
Now is the time for farmers and others
TO commence fattening their stock and
preparing such other articles for exhibit
tion as they hope to command a premium.
A Premium list VIII be issued in n few
days, from the HERALD nj TRIBUNE
Office, which will enable those who pro-
pose to contend for a premium to see
Syhat articles are most likely to be sue
e~essful, and the nature and amount of the
different premiums offered. We have the
assurance that many persons from abroad
will visit us aud exhibit different articles
of industry that will be of interest to us.
Tbe managers of the Fair have labored
hard in the face OF many serious difficult
ties, and have so Ter done their whole
duty. 1t now remains with the people
TO say whether the enterprise shall or
shall not be a success. Like everything
of n public nature its success depends en-
tireiy upon the degree of interest the
people manifest in its welfare. Let us
then go to work-with 4 will, and let it
not be said that orT first effort resulted
I'm q failure -.

THE AMNESTY PROCLANIA-
TION.
Its Effects upss Pensions Claim
ants.

The amnesty act approved, May 22d,
1872, which removed the disabilities i'm
posed by the Srd section Of the fourteenth
article of amendment to the Constitution
of the United States, does not, as supposed
by many, remove the disabilities imposed
by the several acts Of Congress, upon
participants in the Rebellion in relation to
pensions.
1t was thought by many eminent %jurists
that the amnesty act restored the parties
mentioned therein to all the rights and
privileges Of other citizens, including
pensions granted for services rendered in
the war of 1912, and in the Mexican war.
But a circular recently issued from the
pension Office declares that while the act
aforesaid restores the right to hold Office.
10 those not excepted it docs not III
any other respect relieve those who have
been disloyal from any of the legal penal
ties, restrictions or requirements conse-
qucnt, upon their ~disloyalty or the pre-

effect whatever.
This will save many persons the trouble
and perplexity Of prosecuting their claims
before the departments, as it is evident
that noue will be allowed except those who
can show a clear record for loyalty du-
ring the last war. What effect a future
decision of the Supreme Court may have
upon this question We are not at present
prepared to say, but the moral right of
parties to now claim sustainancc from a
government they once tried to destroy is
to say the least a very questionable one.
1T seems to US that self-respect alone
would not allow them to even make ap-
plication for relief from a government
from which they but a few years ago,
were so anxious to dissolve their allegiance
and they may for the present preserve
both their self-respcct and some stamps
by failing to apply for a remuneration
they in no sense deserve.

THE FIRST, CONGRESSIONAL
DISTRICT.

We last week, commented on the spirit
in which Republicans should act in the
approaching Congressional contest in this
District. We again reiterate the senti-
ments set forth in our issue of last week
We believe we have a majority in the Dis
trict, albeit a small one. We deem 1t
most important that the Republican par
ty retain that majority, and how to do so
becomes a matter of serious considera-
ton. Ahouse divided against itself cam
not stand. This truism parties like tami-
lies are apt to forget. But by the changes
made i'm our Congressional District the
Republicans will have cause to mediate
on this maxim if they shall foolishly fritz
ter away their chances of controlling the
District by a war among themselves.
Let it be understood that those elected
to Office are the servants and not the
masters of the people. 1t is the right of
the people to choose their representative.
The position of Congressman is not the
right of any man. When a District is
nearly equally divided nothing but
harmony and a subordination of all
~prctensions of 4 personal character can
win. There need be no haste in bring
ing out a candidate. The masses must
be satisfied that the candidate is the fair
choice of the party. Any thing lii an
effort to pack a convention will surely re-
act on those who try it. What we desire
is that fairly, justly and temperately, the
choice of a candidate may be canvassed
by the masses of the Republican voters
of the District, and that no convention
will be held until the whole subjec. is
fairly considered, and then, after due no
tice the Republicans of each county in
in full, open convention, meet and c
their very best men TO a Congressional
convention. Any unfair convention frus-
trates the very end for which alone a
convention should be called. We desire
every Republican to express his choice
fully ard freely, but for ourselves we be-
licvc that no convention should be had
until after the August election. Let
there be no attempt to forestaH the choice
of the people, and then when the candi-
date is honestly chosen let us take hold
and elect him.
