There were others who aided
the whites in their efforts to
secure good government and
honest officials. The commu-
nications referred to simply
advised the white people when
hiring laborers to give the
preference to the latter class.
Tire writer's all stated that they
had nothing to say against
those colored people who had
simply supported the Republi>
can ticket; they only wished
to show the negroes who had
been SO bitter against the
whites that the whites could
get Along without tnem /; thei.'
war cry had been '.stick to
your color" aud now it was in
order that they should seek
employment from their own
race. These articles Judge
Mackey pretens to construe as
a violation Of the Enforcement
Act, aud decides that they con-
,stitute 9 conspiracy, for which
the editor of the paper publish
ing them should be punished.
While this is going on, arrests
are being made of citizens OF
Edgefeld county, South Caro-
lima, charged with violating
the enforcement Act in the late
election. The Edgtield Adver-
tiser learns that seven arrests
have already been made, and
that squads of mounted infan>
try are raiding the country, day
and night, III search of other
parties, though many of those
for whom warrants have been
issued were warned in time to
make their escape. These men
fly, not because they fear pun
ishnlent for any crime which
they have committed, but
because. though conscious of
their Innocence, they know
they will be dragged to Column
bia, and tried before = jury
packed to insure their convic-
ton. Rev. q. T. Walker, the
Episcopal minister and a man
universally reversed and below
ed, was arrested at the instance
of q negro whom he had
declined to hire after the elec>
stion. The others were all
arrested upon affidavits, charg-
ing them with intimidating
voters, yet, in every instance,
II Is susceptible Of proof that
the party upon whose oath
the warrant was issued did

ticket. q fact which shows

Coop EDUcArIoN.-The late Edward
Everett condensed into a single brief para
graph his estimation of what constituted a
good education. Here it is: "To read the
English language well, to write with dispatch
neat, legble hand, and be master of the
first four rules of arithmetic, so as to dispose
OF at once, with accuracy, every question OF
figures which comes up in practice-I call
this good education. And if you add the
ability to write pure, grammatical English, |
regard 1t as an excellent education These
are the tools. You can do much with them.
but you are hopeless without them. They
are the foundatinn; and unless you begin
with these, not with fashy attainments, little
geology, and all other ologies and osophies,
are ostentaiious rubbish"

Knowing how to make her determine

my friend the captain. The captain

jumps after you" The young lady,
struck with the idea, and being natnr.
ally fond of bathing, especially in
warm weather, as it then was, took
the advice of the captain, who had a

Accordingly, next morning, the five

EXPLORATIONS have recently been made
into the mounds of Oitumwa, Iowa. In one
mass Of charcoal, bed Of ashes, and some
calcined human bones were found, showing
that cremation was practiced by the people
who erected them. As Indians never burr.
their dead, this adds another proof to the
theory that they were not the original mound
builders. The similarity Of the mounds OF
Mexico and of Iowa point to the fact that
they were constructed by the same race of
