condiment was distributed under the
mistress's eye. This was the only way
under the system Of affairs, for with the
easy-going shifilessness Of Chloe and
Dinah, had they been as honest as a
pane Of glass, things would have melted
away like snow in a March sun. All the
clothing, for winter and summer, for
men, women and children had to be cut
out and made under the direction Of the
ladies of the family. And at any hour
Of day or night, IL anybody was sick,
the mistress was the person to be called
upon. The medicine chest was always
well supplied with potent remedies, es.

which frightened Northerners, but which
seemed to have blessed affinity for
those who live south of Mason and
Dixon's line.

Tinkerimg the Debt.

We respectfully suggest to the gene
raj assembly that the majority of their
constituents are not much exercised
about the bonded debt The state
credit don't keep many people awake
at night when they had rather be
asleep. 1t is our solemn conviction,
arrived at after interviewing several
voters in Beaufort and vicinity, that
the less done in regard to the bonded
debt the better. People remember the
great things to be done for the Estate
credit" by the "sterling loan;" they
remember how necessary it was made
to appear that our various bonds should
be 'converted;' and they are not
enamored with the result. Gov. Moses
shows that every time anybody was
authorized to issue a new bond that
some how or other the process was SO
soothing that they did not know when
TO stop.
Let the general assembly provided for
the payment of the just claims due our
own citizens, and thus improve the
''credit" of a long suffering people.
When the bond holders are ready to
propose to the state compromise, it will
be time enough for the state to consid
er it.

An intelligent Parsce stated recently
that the upper classes among the Hin
docs are being converted by hundreds
and thousands to the Brahma Somaj,
which is a kind of philosophical theism
while in a recent English state paper it is
shown that the Mohammedan mission
aries are meeting with equal success
among the lower classes. Evidently,
Christianity is literally nowhere. The
educated regard it as simply another form
of idolatry, and the ignorant cannot ac-
cord belief 10 such lncomprehensible doc
trines as the Christian missionaries pre-
fer. If these things Re true, would 1t
not be we'll for the missionary societies to
cease their absurd and useless efforts
among these populations, and devote
their money to philanthropic purposes at
home.

Coal at Port Royal.

Steamers between southern and Eu.
ropean ports have heretofore been sup
piled with coal at New Orleans and
Norfolk. Recent events have demon.
strated that they can find more eco
nomical supply at Port Royal. Coal
equally good and at lower price can
hereafter be found in any quantity on
our wharves. Besides this advantage
in price, our port is far more accessi-
BILE to the gulf stream. Already par
ties who have been engaged in the bu'
siness at New Orleaus are on the
ground prospecting for new coal fields
accessible to Port Royal, and at no
distant day it is certain that our port
will become great coaling station.

Mixed Schools.

We find letter in the Pirkens SEN
tsael giving the proceedings of the state
board Of education, in Columb a.
Among other items is he fo!lowiu.
Among the subject discussed by tie
board was that OF mixed schools. Mr.
Miller, Of Beaufort brought up the sub
ject and strongly advocated them, insist
ing that both races should be educated
together.
1t was soon ascertalncd, however that
n large majority, Of even the colorcd
s.h)o' commissioners We're opposed to
an such policy, and the subjcc: MAS
cropped. Judge Wright Of the supreme
court, in an address before the board, re-
fcrred to the subject, and warmly con-
demned the course Of the gentleman
from Beaufort in advocating such a poll
cy, said that while he claimed fOr his
race perfect political equality, and equal
privileges with the white race, in the
state university, and the institution for
the education of the deaf, dumb and
blind, yet he did not desire social equali-
ty, nor the mixing Of the two races in
the common schools Of the country.
