EoMIxED SCHOOLS IN SOUTH CAROLINA

The colored people have large ma.
jority in Mississippi aud South Carroll.
ma, but TO their credit be it said they
have not forced Mixed Schools as they
might do in either State. The New
York Times correspondent in South
Carolina who is savagely opposed to the
present administration, writes from
that State as follows on this subject:
In the Columbia and Charleston
Districts the school accommodations
for colored children are ample. In the
more remote neighborhoods, however.
this is not always the case and where
the school money is not sufficient to
support two schools, only one is mains
tanned, and that devoted to the educa-
ton of the whites. An article of the
State Constitution provides that "all
public schools, colleges, and universities
of the State of South Carolina, sup
ported in whole or part by the public
funds, shall be free and open to all the
children and youth of the State, with
out regard to race or color" Under this
law 1t would not be possible to exclude
negro children if they attempted to at
tend the white schools. The State
perintendent of Education saws
that, should the question arise, he
would feel it his duty to decide that
negro children were entitled TO the
benefit of every free school in the State.
The colored people, however, with that
moderation and good sense for which
they have been noted, as a class, since
the war, have never made any effort to
force their children into the white
schools, and it is believed they will be
wise enough never to take advantage
of the doubtful privilege given them
by the Constitution. ~.

THE general verdict Is, that the de
monstration on the Fourth was the
most satisfactory and successful of any
ever held in Knoxville. The exercises
were participated in by ex- Confede,
rates as well as Union soldiers and
citizens, and if anything was said or
done TO wound the feelings Of any Of
either side, we have not heard Of it.
We trust this will not be the last occa-
sion, upon which citizens, without
respect TO past differences, may har-
moniously unite in such patriotic
observances.

THE GAINESVILLE Tobacco Leaf is of
the opinion that the q" Hobbs mystery"
should be investigated, and that the
Democratic Convention "should de-
mand it," 1t further expresses the
opinion that neither Governor Brown
nor Comptroller Burch had anything
TO do with the Hobbs transaction,
" except to be unfortunately and inno-
Gently connected with it," This is a
new phase of the mystery" We
grieve TO think how these two limo
cents" were unfortunately connect
ed " with such a dark and damaging
bargain. Who would have suspected
that such marvelously proper young
men, who, in their early days, had the
advantage of Sabbath School training,
should ever become the unsuspecting
victims of such a wicked scheme? We
write of this in sorrow, and point to it
as a warning for the unsophistocated
youth Of the country, who should be-
ware Of such wicked fellows as those
who cODgregate in the humid - sur
roundings of the State Capitol. OF
course it was purely accidental that our
good Governor appointed the sanity
Burch TO an office vacated by that bad
man Hobbs, in consideration of twelve
thousand dollars paid to him by a
wicked " funding ring" but there are
people who can't understand it that
Way. IL is too bad

THE TORRER,S APPEAL

The cold winds whistle through the leafess trees.
The snow flakes fly before the chilling gale,
While afhuence, with rich, luXuriant ease,
No pity shows, nor hears the workers wall
Oh God! ask not for the beggar's bread;
These willing hands are ready rs before;
But starving eyes stare round my 'wildered
head,
And wintry frosts creap thro' my lowly door,
The dear ones Of mothers tender care
With shivering limbs gathered near her
form,
Alas! with them she's naught but want to
share,
And turns TO view the unrelenting storm.
Compassion have, We great ones of the land,
n pittance give from out your ample store
Extend TO honest toll the helping hand
None can be very rich where none are poor.
Now hOwls the bitter, piercing blast again,
The dear ones closer to their mother cling.
In vain fell from her eyes the burning rain,
She weeps do more, yet silent sorrows wiring,
Oh can il be that here in freedoms home
Such scenes as these are cOldly looked upon =
Is there no spot meath heavens arching dome
Where justice reigns or mercy has begun?
Must still the world in love Of heIl-born gain,
Hug close its gold, while brothers starve
around,
While writhe their souls with hunger's mad
dening pain,
And north winds pierce with cherries, hope
less sound.

the CRATE bars in both fire rooms, The for
ward compartment had depth Of four feet,
and the after compartment two feet and six
inches of water. At four p NJ she was SO
much reduced that fires were started under
her boilers. Capt. Whiting expressed himself
satisfied that the Virginius was in a fit
condition to start north, and about two
O'Clock she went to sea in tow of the Ossipee.
AS long as the sea was smooth everything
progressed favorably, but the storm arising,
the vessel leaked so badly that he had to
plug up the timber holds in
the forward bulkheads to keep the fire
rooms clear. On the 22d he threw overheard
part of the bower anchor and all heavy
weights in the hold, and shifted the coal TO
Tighten her forward. On the afternoon of
the sd there was eight to ten feet OF water
in the forward compartments. The men
were worn out, hunks drenched, and no place
to sleep. Under these circumstances, Wood
ward advised the captain of the Ossipee not
TO go further north, but to take the Virgin
Jus into Charleston, where there was dock
On the 24th the boiler was in such wretch
ed condition that il was impossible to carry
more than five pounds of steam. At five A
NJ. on the 26th the water gained so fast
IS to put out the fires, and Wood
now signalled to the Ossipee to
take the ere crew off the Virginius
Immediately. AT this time the forward COM
partment was full of water, and up to within

water in the hold, and water over the CRATE
bass in the fire room and the at
ter compartments. The sea was very
rough and it was blowing a gale
When the boat from the Ossipee came I'M
der the Virginius' bow the landsmen were
put in first. 1t took fine work to take all
the officers and n;en off the sinking vessel.
AT seventeen minutes past four in the after
noon, the Virginius sank, the bows first, in
eight fathoms of water. For four days the
men in the fire room worked in water up to
their knees, and at the time they left the
ship, were nearly exhausted.

AVOID CgRTSTlrAS CAROL.

So now Is come our joyful feast,
Let every man be Jolly;
Zach room with Ivy leaves Is dreSt,
And every post with holly.
Though some churls at our mirth repine,
Round your fOrhead garlands Irvine;
Drown sorrow in a cup of wine,
And let rs al be merry.
Now every lad is wondrous trim,
And no man minds his labor;
Our lasses have provided them
A bag-pipe and a tabor;
Young men and maids, and girls and boys
Give life 20 one anOther's joys:
And YOU anon shall by their noise
Perceive that they are merry.
Ned squash has fetched his bands from pawn,
And All his best apparel;
Brisk Nell hath bought a ruff of lawn
With dropping off the barrel;
And those that hardly all The year
Had bread To eat, or rags TO wear,
VIII have both clothes and dainty fair,
And all the day be merry.
Now kyngs and queens poor sheep cotes have
And mate with every body;
The honest now may play the kn&Ne,
And wise men play the noddy,
some youths will now a mum ming CO.
some OF hers play at ROwland-hO,
And twenty other gameboys mo,
Because they will be merry.
Then wherefore in these merry daies
should We. pray, be dulleTs
No, let ~ sing some roundelayes,
To ma te our mirth the fuller,
And whilst thus inspired we sing,
Let all the streets with echoes ring,
Woods and hills and everything,
Bear witness we are merry.

THE VIRGINIUS.

THE vIRGINIUS To BE SEIZED AND LIBELLED
THE REPORT THAT SPAIN WILL CLAIM
THE RETURN OF THE VESSEL NOT CREDIT.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.--It has been ascer.
tanned from an official source that on the ar
rival of the Virginius at New York she will
be seized qy the Collector of the port and IL
belled by the District Attorney in accordance
with instructions. If, on Judicial investiga-
ton, it be shown that the vessels register
was obtained by fraud, she will be sold, and
the proceeds paid to the United States Spain
can make claim to the vessel; but if she
should, it is positively certain our Govern
ment would not entertain such a claim.
The report that the Spanish Government
requires of the United States the restoration
of the Virginius and the payment of in
IDENTITY is not believed in official quarters
no authentic information having been re-
ceived here to that effect, and besides such
requisition would be contrary to the terms
of the protocol between the two nations.
The reference of the Spanish affidavits and
other papers by the President to the Attor-
ney General was known only to those pres
ent and to Secretary Fish, the matter having
been kept perfectly secret until the opinion
of the Attorney General was delivered to the
last named gentleman on the Gay of its date,
namely, the 18th inst The first intimation
of such an opinion was furnished the press
four DAYS later, and the full text obtained
LETTER FROM JOHN +. PATTERSON, OWNER OF
THE vIBGINIUS.
NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-John F. Patterson,
of this city, has sent letter to Secretary
Fish, dated the 18th, declaring that he is the
registered owner of the steamer Virginius.
He protests against the opinion of the Attor-
ney General, by which he and the vessel
were condemned on ex parte testimony fur
nished by Spain. He states that the Solici-
tor of the Treasury gave him bill of
sale of the steamer. Therefore he,
Patterson, truly swore that he was
the owner, and the Government gave
her an American register, which has ever
since protected her. Any statement charg-
ing perjury on his part is false. He has
hitherto kept silence by the advice of coun-
sci, and because he has not been notified or
called upon by the Government to testify or
defend himself in relation to the matter. He
requested that a copy of the evidence upon
which the Virginius and he were condemned
by the Attorney General, be sent to him, and
that he be notified of the time and place for
the examination OF any other witness. A
copy of the letter has also been sent to the
Attorney General.

The performers, musicians, and all the en-

having dollar left to pay them. During the
summer Dan himself, with his blind horse,
etc., was travelling with another company in
Canada at $1,000 per week, and that, too,
went up, leaving him minus ST, 200.
