Education, of Woman.

As civilization progresses, woman'S s
condition Improves. The intelligence
and culture an,, Influence Of tho fc-
mr'e scX is measure Of every ma
.ion's enlightenment. Fly years ago,
whi!a boys were carefully educated,
girls wcro sent to inferior schools
merely to acquire n few accomplish
mcnts anl amattcrins Of books. and
emerged from fashionable scm:narics
unable to solve the simplest problems
in arithmetic, such as arc daily met
with iu tho experience Of every
hous"kcercr. But recently, woman
.as asserted her light to obtain n
practical education, and man has ac-
corded her tac privilege. Many ino
female seminaries have been founded, :,
fitting their pupils for other ocoupa-
tions than Irritation and coquctry..-
Somo of the leading colleges in tho
United States have thrown open their
doors to both sexes, and permit broth.
crs and sisters to climb tho hill Of
Knowledge side by side. Tho pro-
pricty of cocducating the sexes is
is still vcxed question, and wo do
not propose to diScuss it at present.
But We insist that girls should have
facilities for obtaining n practical
education. A first class female
school in Wiunsboro is a dcsidcra
tum. We have among us several
private schools Of good standing, but
'hey have only local patronage
There should be largo school in
town for the whole County and for
pupils from abroad. 1t wcnld be
successful if properly managed and
wonld be II blessing to many parents
who now krow not y hat to DO With
their children. Tho arguments wo
advanced in favor Of pa.ronzing Mt.
zion, may be applied to an institution
for girls. We trust STEPS will be
takon to establish a first class female
seminary in Winnsbcro.

The Slate Treasurer.

Tho Aiken Tribune, (Repu tlicau,)
commenting upon tho publiscd intor-
view between Treasurer Cardozo and
n correspondent of the .Ncws and

tho statements Of tho Treasurer should
be "taken for exactly what each indi.
vilusl, who peruses them, may think
they are worth" The Tribute further
says:

points of the man da mus.

We cannot understand why they
are keeping tho people so long in
suspense. Tha pleadiugs and argu-
ment Of the learned counsel for the
S'ate seemed to lis TO bo conclusive
and the mandamus apparently had not
the ghost Of u chance. But this de-
lay is ominous, and the reports that
reach us are not flatteriug to tho in.
:eg'i;y Of the Court. Some time be-
fore the BOND scrip case was decided
IL was publicly announced in ,he
North that these Suits were made
up job; that the Now York ring were
willing to sacrifice tho scrip, that the
Court would Nil it. ard then, upon
the popularity thus obtained, would
grant the r'andau'us, compelling a
levy to pay the interest OH the debt.
We refused to believe these reports
al the lime, trusting that amid the
corruption existing everywhere the
Judicial crnluc would remain

oozing out. Why this dclay2 The

The organs Of the Republican, party
arc outspokcn in their dcnunciation
