Er,ai:s Of the appointing Pow.
er.

The scene enacted on Tuesday last
brought about by the contest as to
who should have the Office Of County
Treasurer, heggars description. It
was more worthy Of an uncivilizad
land than Of this Southern country in
It's day Of freedom aEd equal rights.
The few strangers here at the time,
who had never witnessed one of our
peculiar political scrambles for Office,
were overwhelmed with surprise, they
could scarcely realize that they were
in :; civilized land, but rather that by
some hocus pocus, or transmigration,
they had gotten into some ether part
Of the glcbe, altogether unfamiliar to
,heu. And 1t was natural they should
have such feeling. Our own people
who for nearly q decade Of years. have
been seeing abnormal sights, and who
have beeu yearly growing into the be-
lief: and building on the hope, that
they we're becoming accustomed to
The new order of things, aud that some
Of the ugllest features were gradually
changing. are forced to acknowledge
that the condition is growing no bet
ter fast. It is lamentable that it is
So, and more, it is disgraceful. Gould
iien. Grant have dropped in on this
devoted town just then, what an
aMornt Of mental food be could have
carried back with him to the White
House, for cogitation and digestion.
t'ov tricks that are vain, the heather
C:inee are not comparable. If this is
the fruit Of the appointing power, it
were better taken away, and the bal
los, bad as it is now, be the test, with
all its attendant uslinesses, briberies
and frauds.

NEwBERRY, March 18Th, 1873
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:
It seems that some comments which recent
ly appeared in the South Carolinian in regard
to the appointment OF Trial Justices for New
berry, br the Governor, has raised qaite Il
din and ciattcr about the ears Of the man OF
the Carolinian. Now, Mr.. Editor, ImuSt say
that am surprised at him myself, because
if he had ever seen Dir. Jacoby, and possess
ed any knowledge Of physicguomy, he must
have known that so far from being man
Of small! brain he was an Intellectual giant.
1t was TOO bad. nay it was preposterous in
him 20 compare the claims Of such men as
the native citizens of Newberry, with those
OF Dir. Jacoby, ! man VINO has raised and
actually supported 4 family, one Of the most
wonderful fea;s of this ageof wonders.
Mr.. Thomas ought to have known that Mr..
Jacoby had been Trial Justice before, and
had proved himself Daniel in judgment, OF
1T least Democrat seems to ihiuh 50.
A Lover of Justice seems 10 think that Gr.
Jacoby is far ahead Of Mr. Thomas. if not in
speaking, at least in understanding the
English language, ard in this opinion we
think everybody who knows the two meu
will concur.
After reading what Democrat, and a
Lover of Justice have written, VIC conclude
that Dir. Jscoby is by all odds the most fiji
and competent man that could be found in
Newbcrrv for a Trial Justice, and we think il
lucky for US that he happened to be here,
else we might have had 10 send North or 10
the land Of Judah for Il man that would do.
We hope the castigation which Mr Thom-
as has received at the hands of Democrat,
and u Lover of Justice will teach him to
speak more respectfully Of men who have
held the Office Of Trial Justice, and who have
raised and supported family.

Chester Rail Road..Cotton Mill.

Numerous inquiries have been lately
made in reference to these two impor-
tant measures, first as to whether the
bills Of Incorporation had passed the
General Assembly, and second what
would be done in the premises. We
are happy to say that both have pass
ed, and that they now come back to
the people for action. In regard to
the railroad matter, a meeting has
beer already called for-notiee of
which is made in our local column
and it is hoped that such interest will
be manifested in it, as will secure to
this section. link in the chain of
railroad communication fraught with
so many advantages to this part of the
country. Let the meeting be atten-
ded, stock taken, and the work COM
menced, as soon as possible. We shall
write more at length on this subject
in another issue, and endeavor to show
some Of the advantages which this
Newberry and Chester connection will
afford.
We are pleased to say, also, that
much interest is shown in regard to
the proposed Cotton Mil: and We
hope that meeting will be also call
ed, to take into consideration this no
less important enterprise. All that is
needed is for few active men to take
the iritiatory steps, and urge it on the
people. Such matters cannot be car
ried out unless some one leads in the
matter. Push it gentlemen, get up
a subscription list, and 60 to work:
Issue circular also: under the sigma
ture C 'romir eut capitalists, publish
it il the papers, send it abroad, and
on eur word for it, the Newberry Cot
ton ;&ill will be established beyond
peradventure. If you go on the princi-
pie however. that what is every mans
business IS no mans business-the
Cotton Mill will be no further advan-
>el twelve months from to-day than it
now is. Take it BY the horns and 50
% work.

Educational Items.

The Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, has two successful and popular
schools among the Indians-one
among the Choctaws, the other among
the Cherokees.
We are informed that Furnan Uni
versitT, located at Greenrille, S. c..
has secured an endowment of Sl00.-
600: in two years. An effort is being
made, with good prospects Of success,
to increase thisa amount TO sl5Q:000
BY next July. We hope that this
sum, and even more will be realized.
We are glad to learn that the plan
set on foot by the Alumni Of Wcford
for the endowment of their .Ilm0 Ma.
ter, is meeting with success. At the
recent session of the S. c. Conference,
$4,000 worth of bonds were taken by
the members, clerical and lay. The
work Of obtaining subscriptions is now
being prosecuted by local agents in
each county. Let the good work 60
Oh until an ample endowment is secur-
ed. South Carolina cannot afford to
surrender her institutions of learning,
and least of all Woford College.
The subject Of compulsory education
is being thoroughly discussed in many
of our exchanges. From the fact that
Henry Ward Beecher advocates this
measure, we Judge that it must be a
popular one in his section. He is always
found on the popular side, and for
that reason. ! bill making education
compulsory has been introduced in
the n. 7. Legislature. According to
Mr.. Mori, this system has been intro
duced in Japan.
The University of Virginia confers
no honorary degrees whatever. The
masters degree can only be obtained
by standing successful examination
upon the prescribed course of study.
Ii would be well forall Of our Uniyersi-
ties and Colleges TO follow this example.
Degrees are becoming so common, and
are so easily obtained as to render
them practically useless There is
