A Teachers Institute.

One of the chief obstacles in the
way of the success Of the free schoo
system is the difficulty of obtaining
teachers who are educated in the
new system of teaching. For teaching
Is science, and its improvement,
IN the past Fcw years is almost com.
mensurato with that IF other sciences
Then too there are many teachers
who are not posted even in the old
fashioned way Of imparting inst.uc
tiou.
The colored peopls have their
schools, and it is but natural that
they should wish teachers of their
own color. But the condition from
which that race has but lately ,merg-
ed prevented tho acquisition OF
knowledge, and there arc very few
colored persons in the State com
potent to instruct. 1t is mistake
70 suppose that any kind of teacher
viii suffice for a primary school.
When child is just beginning to
enter tho avenues of knowledge it
IS then more necessary than eycr
that ho have competent guide, one
fully acquainted with all tho cluos to

every branch of the republican, gov

tected by independent journals, not

fraud that it stinks in the nostrils

deAvors to throw mud upon it to
conceal the stencil, and failing in
this, aud not till then, it raises n
fearful outcry against it., and re.
morselcssly pretcnds to cremato it.
Not a republican rascal of any
Importance (always excepting such
poor devils as school trustees and
constablcs) came to grief in this
State, until the independent and
conservative press had lashel the
people into rovolt, and until the
regular party had come rear being
lgnominiously routed. Then when
thcrc was danger of oil tie rascals
being ruined together, a few were
picked out as soapegoats, and hooted
at and abused by the very pack that
had a moment before fawned upon
them and followed at their heels.
Parker is the only rascal who has
been prosecuted, and his punishm mt
bore no proportion to his crimes.
And even his conviction is but a
small slice of reform. Republicans
have completely owned the State
since 1868. At any timo Parker
nouId have been brought to trial.
But Justice slept, until Comptroller
General Dunn, the leader of the
llboral conservative party in the
last campaign, and more of a conser-
vativc than republican,, set the
ball in motion and this having been
done republicans dared not refuse to
prosecute Parker. b..
The conservative press much mo @
generously awarded praise to the
republicans engaged in the prosecu, {,
tion. No where did they assert that
only tho dread of q conservative
victory next year stimulated the eff !.
clals to effect Of reform. The con-
serYative press suffered the imprcs.

a New journalistic Venture.

On Saturday evening last, several
of the printers employed in the
Ph@nix Office, among them MIR. IL.
Eml yn, the foreman, refused to work
any longer upon that paper, for the
reason we believe they had not been
paid. On Wednesday they issued a
new daily paper called the Columbia
Register, while the Ph@uix has not
been published since they left. The
Register is run BY stock company of
experienced printers, and as, far as
typography is concerned will bo
success. Whether it will have o
financial success. remains to bo soen.
These plucky gentlemen have many
obstacles in their way. Journalism
in Columbia since the war has not
proved success The Guardian, the
South Carolinian, the Union and the
Sun all survived but briof period,
while the Ph~nix and the Union
llerald have at times found it diff.
cult to steer clear of financial break
ers. Much money has been lost in
these ventures both by proprietors
and patrons. In the light of the
past it is difficult. to say whether the
N"sittnr ,sill h" n r Far,nanonoy.
But there are certain conditions
which, if fulfilled, should make the
Register success. A conservative
organ is badly needed at the capital.
Columbia is the centre Of politics,
and paper situated there enjoys
superior advantages over those looa.
Gated anywhere else. It can best
light corruption, and infuse q healthy
tone. in the body politic. The good
it can accomplish was fully demon.
straated in the caso of the Guardian
and the Carolinian, and that these
papers were suffered to die is a dis.
grace to South Carolina oonserva.
tism. .'..'.'.
The Ph~nix, through misfortune or
for other reasons, has lost the conf
derce of tie people, and it can cxer-
else no healthful influence. IF the
heg'ster at once succeeds 10 making
itself recognized as a stapch and able
conservative organ it will have
fulfilled the conditions necessary for
success. It's salutatory lis all that
can DO desired, as an exposition of it's
aims. But it should not veil its
management in darkness. It should at
once satisfy curiosity and doubts by
setting forth publicly under whose
editorial management it will be con.
Quoted. The public must know.
before investing tn cir money in
venture whether there is a prospect
of that venture giving them satisfac.
ton. With q live editor in oharee
anil a series of spicy, outspoke n
articles it will succeed in inspiring
confidence. ... .r.t.
People arc waiting anxiously, to
see good conservative paper estab.
lishcd in Columbia and if satisfied
o" this point, wo doubt not wlll ral]v
to its aid. We therefore offer the
advice above given to our new
acquaintance, because we arc in
terestod in it and wish it to succeed.
We welcome it to. our sanotum and
holc we shall find it valuable

be heartily ashamed Of themselves. There
