Companies {!

During the asst few months, on several occasions
we have been informed that it and is the practice
of certain agents of prominent National Boards
panes in this city and elsewhere Extending in fact
from East to West and from North to South) to in
dulge in wholesale sweeping denunciation of the
solvency of board companies without discrimin
alton or exception. This is contemplate method
of conducting any business, and especially the fire
insurance business. 1t is the vilest way of obtaining
patronage, and We pity the company which has for
its agent any person so despicably mean, to run
down his rivals in general strain of defamation
This journal has been advocate and supporter Of
local and National Boards from the day Of its first
ISSUE though we have freely criticised bunders and
mistakes in their management, and shall continue to
do SO. We recognize the fact that among the COM
panies outside the National and local boards, are
some which are as conservative as prudent, as
table, as promp and as safe in their dealings with
hepubic any THOSE inside OF these organizations
We nigh name several which possess equal experien
and talent with any of their loyal neghbors and
some also with large and well invested assets which
have been as carefully and prudeny managed as any
of those in tie + ii is. In any test which may be
applied, exc ing the single one of unfolding board
rates,th are the peers of the best and cannot be
sneered down, lied down or detained to DEATH 1t is
an unworthy SplTlC stIHudIeS SuCu
We would in no manner be understood as claiming
these merits for all board com panies, as we
would not claim all the virtues stability and sound
ness par ercellence for all board companies. In fact
there are some board companies which offer weak
points for attack quite as devoid of superior merits
their non board rivals. We hold up to public gaze
the bad and Indifferent whether of the board nom
board species with equal satisfaction, and shall not
spare the rod in Furnishing both alike if they are
guilty of peccados in their business transactions. 1t
is not province to defend any company because it
is in the board, any than to assail another
pany which is out of the board. We do hold it, how
ever, to be exceedingly impudent and malicious to
denounce all non-board companies in the breath
because it happens that steal away risks below
the tariff rates. Two wrongs never made right yet,
and foul and noisy agents who talk about their
neigbbors will do to remember it.-Western Insur-

BY penitential prssbytsrs. who inspected
their conversation and enjoined penance
according to the degree of their faults.
The clergy then sang penitential psalms
and the bishop sprinklsd ashes on the
heads of the knseling congregation; they
were then turned out of the church, in
imitation Of Adams being cast out Of
Paradise; at Easter they again presented
themselves and received absolution. A

SOUTH CAROLINA is in the very worst
possible distress, financially. Nobody
can tell when or how she will find relief
therefrom; while her political condition
excites her bitterest enemies to sympa-
thy. Tho effects OF war have brought
about frightful condition of things in
these respects, truly. The effects upon
society, however, if possible, is even
more humiliating to the once proud,
august Palmetto State. In her Lsgisla-
tive halls, where once the severe dignity
and etiquette Of Roman Senate used
TO prevail, and where the best and wisest
assembled to represent the common
wealth, how changed the scene, What
a profound tumble from ancient deco
rum! 1t is told. as characteristic OF the
spirit Of these olden times, that on one
occasion a new member was put to the
blush and disgraced by making an offer
Of handful of peanuts to more refined
legislator, brother Assemblyman of
Hugenot extraction. Where is it now,
then, that Carolina law-maksr will re-
fuse to take and eat peanuts Just after
the war-it may be better now-mem-
bers, mostly unedncatsd field hands,
sat in their chambers coming spoilers
and primary reading books. Parlia-
msntary ethics are buried there now,
and the Palmetto has lost its poetry.
States rights eliminated, and behold
the results!

SCHOOL CONTROVERSY.

The suggestion to have q mass meet
ing of citizens to discuss the question Of
our school quarrel, seems remarkable.
The subject of the controversy has al
ready been pretty thoroughly discussed
Very little more light can be thrown up
on it. The citizens know all Of the
facts in the case that are essential-they
know all they want to know. We doubt
even if the citizens would turn out to
such meeting as is proposed. There
would probably be nothing but wrang-
ling in such, an assemblase-ths en-
tire time taken up with strictly personal
matters, and the meeting spent in crinai-
nations and recriminations, if nothing
worse. Might as we'll convene . mixed
crowd in politics. to effect oneness
Of sentiment, when they understand each
other beforehand and are irreconcilably
opposed. But the citizens have seen
their way ont of the muddle. Superin-
tendent Grsenlaw 10 asked by them to
withdraw; and he is told in terms plain
snouzh that he is the trouble. and that
his resignation will restore harmony.
Those Who desire the Trustees to resign,
also, lit is claimed that there are some
who desire it, though ~ have heard
only three or four named on that ist)
have made no demonstration Of their
wish. II the citizens Of Carson had
offered such petition to the Trustees.
We would hold it to be their duty to re-
sign. The Trustees are tacitly main
tanned, while the Superintendent is
plainly told that his resignation is re-
ouired TO. the good of the school.
