SOUTHERN REPULI-
CANISM A FAILURE.
CONFESSION OF THE NEW YORK TIMES.
The Sad Condition Of LouisiAua."--The
South Carolina Legislsturs.--A System Of
Brigandage."
From the New York Times.

NEGRO RULE IN THE SOUTH.
At u moment when the sad condition of
affairs in Louisiana is attracting the atten-
ton of the whole country, and when Mis-
sissippi has elected a steamboat porter to
the United States Senate only because his
skin is black, the proceedings of the South
Carolina Legislature are more scandalous
than at any time since the close of the war,
No one can deny that some of the members
OF the colored race have displayed rare
capacity for public affairs. ct, owing to a
combination of unfortunate circumstances
the race has not distinguished itself favor
ably in the three States we have mention
ed, With Louisiana we have recently
dealt at length, and we need not now refer
to it more in detail. Mississippi is not in
so bad condition, and has not been plum
dered to the same extent, but the recent
elections prove that the State can hope for
no substantial prosperity under its present
control. 1t is, however, in South Carolina
that negro domination in affairs is most
pronounced, and there its evils are most
apparent.
If there were any doubt of the unftness
Of the present rulers of the State to hold
the trust now reposed in them, they would
be wholly removed by the perusal of a
sketch Of the proceedings of recent SEES
sion Of the Legislature which we print in
another column Those who have hoped
that matters were improving in South Car
DINA will be sorely disappointed by this
latest specimen Of the temper which con-
trolls the law-making power of the State
There would be little cause to complain
that the manners of the Legislature are
not better than in former years If their
morals had improved. But this, unhap-
ply, does not appear to be the case. The
Legislature Of South Carolina as nDDor-
entity a gang Of there's, intent onlv anon
pt,mdeyIng the people lohOm 10 is Supposed
10 serve. Long practice has made the Leg
isiature of the State perfect system of
brigandage. Ignorant negroes, trans
planted from the cotton fields to the halls
OF the capitol, where they have been drill
ed by INSCRIPTIONS white adventures,
have naturally made mockery of the gov
eminent, and bankrupted the State. IL is
not surprising that such Legislators.

tory. "''
1t is among the least of the deplorable
consequences of negro supremacy in Soutb
carolina that the credit of the State has
been utterly destroyed. The State debt
mas been increased over $4,000, 600 since
the close OF the war, and nothing has been
secured In public improvements for this

The Lyceum.

A good number responded to the
call for a meeting at Lawlor Institute
last night, for the purpose of organiz-
ing literary society. DR.. Lucky pre-
sided over the meeting and stated its
objects upon taking the chair. A very
interesting essay on Self Reliance was
read by Mr.. ]. j. Ayers; Miss Adds
also read an essay entitled Ozark
Characters which was we'll received.
Mr.. Wright read some select poems
and acquitted himself with cred
it. Several others who had volun-
teered to assist in furnishing enter
tainment for the evening were not
present or excused themselves when
called upon. After the literary exer-
els les were concluded, the meeting
proceeded to effect permanent organ
ization, and it was decided to contin-
ue the former society under the title
of the Los Angeles Debating Club, a
considerable accession to the former
membership being made. Thus we
trust the literary society has been
placed upon a permanent basis and
will continue to grow in interest and
in membership.

We notice wagons loaded with wool
passing our office almost every day.
The thresher has been in operation
during the last ten days in the vicin-
ity OF Wilmington. Mr.. Page thinks
the barley will average forty bushels

rior.
Everything is moving along very
smoothly at Wilson College. Both
teachers and students have gone to
work with a hearty good will, and we
expect the most satisfactory results at
the close of the session.
The workmen are still busily en-
gagged in constructing lighters prepar-
atory to dredging the bar. The dredg-
ing, we understand, will commence
inside of ten days. Gen. Boschke is
expected at Wilmington about the
first of September, with the dredging
machinery.
Mr.. I. T. Carney, of Los Nietos,
paid us a visit the other day. He has
a flourishing little place in that col
ony, and is putting in his "best licks"
on it's cultivation. His vines and trees
are all very thrifty. His experiments
with cotton, on small scale, are in"
teresting. On his place is small patch
that is growing finely. He has one
stalk two years old, which is now pro-
ducing a second yield. The balls are
thick over the stalk, and are we'll
filled. In his garden is also volun-
teer crop of sweet potatoes that promise
q good Weld.

which Milton has told us so much;
nor does it require a vast stretch OF
imagination to fancy ones self ver-
liable Eve, sporting in the river which
watered that garden.
GAY, ay, ay! But you mustn't fancy;
you must never do anything of that
kind" cry the Gradgrinds in chorus.
So hasten to say, in straightforward
terms, that these outdoor baths are
one of the most charming features of
life here in this wild fastness, and can
not be too highly praised.
On the whole, then, what with the
refreshing, invigorating waters, the
clear, pure, life-giving air, and the
glorious scenery, do not see how any
place could be more worthy of resort
than this mountain retreat. 1t cannot
but benefit all who come hither. 1t
will cure such of the sick as are cura-
BILE, and Judging by my own expert
ence) will make the healthy healthier.
AS the time for departure draws near,
l confess that 1 grow more and more
reluctant to say goodbye to the place
and its inmates.
Our small company has been one alb
solutely devoid of starch. l am not
prepared to deny that it may have
lacked somewhat of conventional pol
ish, as consequence; but this trivial
deficiency has been more than COM
pensated by the frank and cordial
good-fellowship which has prevailed.
l forsake it all, however. Think of me
as descending the cafion to the mourn
full streins of "Eve's Lament, -
" Must / leave thee, Paradise ?"
