RfNE NEEEED.

We know of no place on the Pacific Coast, or elsewhere for that matter, where the want of a bank is as much felt as in Prescott. There are no facilities in the way of ex- change except such as are afforded by the use of Quartermasters checks, and those cannot be regulated to any required amounts but have to be sent as whole for whatever sums they may happen to be drawn for. It is rumored that Wm. B. Hooper & Co. are about to establish banking house st Fort Yuma, with a branch in Prescott and an other in Tucson, and we have heard that John A. Paxton had his eye on this place with view 10 the banking business; but whether there is any truth in either report or not we have no means of knowing. If either or both be true 1t will be glorious thing for Prescott and put money in the pockets of the bankers.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION

Tine telegraph tells us that the Legislators have passed the compulsory education bill. In this they have done themselves credit and conferred a blessing upon that portion of the rising generation who either have no parents or are still more unfortunate in being the children of those who have TO care for the future welfare of their of their offspring. We hold that no man or woman has a moral right 10 so far outrage humanity as to bring children into the world and let them grow up in ignorance, to be q curse upon society and ashamed of themselves as long as they live. And it is proper that the legal right to do so should be taken away, so that the law of the land shall barmOnize with the law of morality and common justice. We have been favored with synopsis of the bill, and find all the objections carefully guarded. In case a child is physically unable to attend school, or is taught at home or in private school, 1t is exempt from the operations of the law; but the main question is to compel every parent to provide his or her child with an education. Of course, many prefer to send their children to sectarian schools, where they can be taught the principles of their own peculiar religion, while others prefer to educate their children at home. All this the law allows them to do; but in order to avail themselves ot the benefits of the pubic funds they must send to the public schools, which are maintained by the taxes of all the people for the benefit of rich and poor alike, and while the teaching of any particular reli- gious doctrine is prohibited, the teachers are strictly onjoined to inculcate good morals, politeness and civil department, leaving to the churches and home discipline, at the option of the parent or guardian of the child, indoctrination in the mysteries of theology

DIED IN i EAR OFF LIND

The Oakland Transcript has an account of the death of Frank C. Harrington, which occurred in Liverpool about the 20th of January. It appears he had gone to England to enlist capital in a new enterprise con nected with the manufacture of soda from a raw material found in great quantities in Nevada. The readers of the Territorial En- terprise Virginia City) will miss his familiar signature, "Chandler," from the columns of that paper, and the whole people an active and intelligent worker in the development of tho resources of the Pacific Coast At our last interview on the Oakland and San Fran cisco ferry boat, only two or three months ago, he expressed quite an interest in Ari- Zona, and had almost concluded to come and look at these mines but such are the decrees of fate that it seems he changed his mind, went abroad, and is dead He was man who loved his friends, and since his return from Japan-where he was private secretary to Minister DeLong-had been very success ful in several mining speculations, and proved his attachment by timely aid to those less fortunate. He leaves wife and one child in Oakland, to whom he was devotedly attached and who almost worshipped him.

f CAPITOL JOKE

Last week we bloviated a little and dis played some large type over the removal of the Capitol from Tucson to Prescott. Now we have to take it all back and explain. Look at our Tucson reports to-day, and the matter will be understood. We certainly had the Capital for few hours, so far as the Council and House were concerned, but they chopped on us and sent it whirling like a top all over the Territory and it is not quite certain where it will settle, though Tucson appears to have her magnet charged the heaviest, We can wait when we have to- It is only matter of time, and we will fetch it next time.

Foreign Corporators and the Soutl
Carolina Railroad.

The CHnrIcSfon INcWs 0uG COnricr con-
tainsa strong appeal to the Legislature
to interfere SO rs to prevent the Char
lotte and Augusta Road from using lis
our own towns and cities. 1t Charge:
that this Road by discriminating rates
adverse to Charleston, Columbia anLi
Chester, and other important points,
lras struggled to turn away trade to
other towns and cities to the dctrimcnt
of our own people. AS its charter is
derived from the State, and contains 4
condition that the transportation of
freight and passengers from its Road to
the South Carolina Road, shall be with
out Construction or hindrance," the
late non-intcrcoursc order is clearly iii
violation of an irrcvocaGlc condition 0
its charter.
The Road is now controlled by 4 ring
who own a majority of the stock, and
who being chiefly Interested in other
Roads out of the State, make this Road
Il feeder merely to those, and to the
great detriment of the Stockholders.
\ lease Of the Road with a dividend OF
four per cent. to the stockholders was
offered by the South Carolina Road, but
it was refused, as it is to the interest of
the Ring SO to manage the Road, as to
promote the interests Of other Roads.
1t would seem to be case for Lcgisla-
tive interference.

Summer Resorts.

With the advent of the Sultry August
days, the thoughts of all those who seek
health and recreation, and who have
the means and leisure to indulge their
tastes, are turned to the mountains, the
springs and the seaside. Before tho
war when we had more money we were
able to indulge more expensive tastes,
and seek pleasure in wider fields, and
the North swarmed every season with
Southern tourists, who sought rccrca-
ton at Saratoga, Newport, the White
Mountains and other famous localities.
Now most Of us are poor and if we go
at all, must seek pleasure nearer home.
We have this consolation, however,
that the South has all the elements OF
attraction within herself, both to the
pleasure and health seeker. With an
unsurpassed mountain range, within
easy distance, and with health-giving
mineral waters in every section of coun-
try, we need not go very far or expend
very much money. Williamson is al
our door, and C@sar's Head, Glenn
Springs, Aslleville, and other pleasant
localities are easy of access, and make
no very heavy draw upon our purses
Let all so who can, and the stay al
homes' may console themselves with
the reflection that whilst they save theil
money, they can still have pleasant
time in Abbcvile. Our nights are al
ways pleasant and thus make amend:
for the sultry days.

The Bible Meeting.

The meeting OF the Abbcvillc Bible
Society on Wednesday last attracted &
large attendance to tho Methodist
church.
The sermon of the Rev. VIM. L.
Prcssly from the text "Search the Scrip,
tures," was one Of his finest efforts, and
Was distinguished by that clear and
compact thought, and exact expression
which distinguish all his sermons. II
was analytical and exhaustive, and
showed the fruits of much profound re-
flccton. The claims of the Bible were
ably and eloquentiy set forth, and the
duty OF searching the Scriptures shown
to be one which we owed as well to our.
selves rs others, and that searching was
a necessary condition to circulating tho
Scriptures-that we must catch the pro-
per enthusiasm before VIC can hope to be
successful propagandists. We shall moi
attempt q synopsis. The sermon was
well received and generally commend.
Ell IN the highest terms.
The Address was by r. r. Hemphill
Esq, and was a very appropriate and
excellent effort, giving very interest,
ing sketch of the history Of the Bible
cause and Of the progress Of the work
and urging all the strong arguments
which awaken the enthusiasm and in
spire the zeal of the leaders of the move
mcnt. The address was we'll delivered
and well received.

The Currency Question in Ohio.

The recent declarations Of Mr.. Pen
dIeton at the opening of the Ohio can-
vass should convince the public of the
talsty of those charges which have
been urged against the party of the
State that they are in favor Of repudia-
ton and imitation, Mr.. Pcndleton,
whilst favoring q return to specie pay
mont5 is opposed to forced resumption
by contraction, and thinks that the re-
vival of business will gradually bring
'about the desired result without any
Legislative intcrmcddling.
Noticing the cry that the Democrats
are in favor of deprecated currency, Mr.
Pcndlcton declares truly that there is
not in the Ohio creed, or any other Dem
ocratic creed, 4 word or policy countc-
namcing the charge. The Democratic
party in Ohio is in favor of Il sound cur
rcncy, rcdcemablca at par, and is in favor
of coin rs the basis Of the currency.
We are not, said Mr.. PendletOn, in favor
of reputation in any form; we are not
in favor Of an Unlimited issue Of green-
backs or bank notes, and 50 long. said
he, as we must have paper currency, we
prefer greenbacks to Nationa! Bank
notes. Is there treason in this?

A CLEAN OF SENsE.-An Eastern
Exchange tells us that the only ncwspa-
per in Mississippi that is edited by col
0rcd men publishes all article in which
it asserts that the time has come for the
c0lored people to take new departure,
cut loose from the political adventures
who, while protesting all sorts of friend
ship for the negro votes, only use them
to accomplish their sinister designs, and
Join with men of character and respecta-
bility in the community, who are bound
to the soil of the State by ties stronger
than Offices and political emolumcnt.
The colored voters in the South are
learning that their sclf-constituted lead
crs are as selfish as they are unprinci-
pied and they cannot improverlsh the
whites by their schemes of public rob-
berry without intlicting equal injury on
the blacks, whose interests are lnsepara-
bly, connected with those Of their white
ucighbors.

Has the State Comptroller General

In the suit brought by Comptroller
General Dunn against the Receiver and
Advisory Board of the Savannah an1
Charleston Railroad, the ground is taken
in the answer, that there is at present no
Comptroler-General of the State, as he
has not been elected by the qualified vo-
te:rs hereof according to the requirement
of the constitution.
Mr.. Dunn was elected by the General
Assembly to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Comptroller Hoge,
and there was doubt ut the time of the
constitutionality of the action of the
Legislature. In the up-country there
has been Il refusal to pay taxes on the
ground that Mr.. Dunn is not the Comp
troller-General, and this same point
would have been raised in Parker's be
half, 1t is supposed, if the case in which
Comptroller Dunn is plaintiff had
come to trial. The question ought TO
be made squarely in some form. The
Comptrollcr-Gcncral is an important
public officer, and the validity Of his
election and of his official acts should
not be left in doubt.

RADICAL OFFICIALS AND DEMO
CRATIC LAWYEES.-Thc True .SOuthrON
we think, very justly takes issue with
Il number Of the State press, who
censurcd Democratic lawyers who un'
lertakc the defence Of Radical officials.
The legal profession is one which has
nothing to do with politics, and rs long
Us its members coniinc themselves to
the legitimate sphere of its duties, it
matters not what may be The character
or politics of their clients. They are
ministers Of the law, and high priests of
justice, and it is their bounden duty to
see that equal and exact justice is mcted
out to all without regard to shades of
color or degrees of rank.

The causes Of the failure, we see, that
