The character of a people is in .

II, however, the masses IRE igno.

expect their representatives to be SIM
ilarly affected. It should therefore
ha the pride of The people to look well
to the character OF their government,
Public opinion is potent influence,
and it is of the highest Importance
that it should be correctly formed.
That public opinion which commends
men fer s@sha. is improperly called po-
litical shrewdness is utterly false, and
inevitably tends to corruption and
degrauatlon, Tor this shieWdness is
but milder term Cor dishonesty, of
which any rogue is capable. AS long
as men are such slaves of policy that
they are afraid to condemn the wrong
because it may be popula;, or to sup
port the right because it may be in a
minority, we cannot expect a high
tone either in morals or politics.

ment. the surest and best plan is to
correct the morals of The people.
The general diffusion of education
is, therefore, our greatest need; and
this education will fail short of the
mark unless moral training is com
bined with mental culture, and incul.
Gated by example as well as precept.

THE VAR AGAINST CARDOZO

TIE committee of the General As

a:,!ning into the financial condition
Of the State have made report vigo-
rously condemning State Treasurer
Carodozo for certain measures and Of
fetal actions. In answer thereto the
treasurer says that the full amount of
the appropriation $4,000 was paid
out, and that there was an over-issue
of pay certificates amounting to
$14O,000; that of the $4,000 GER
tificates presented to him he paid
$4,000, and he is informed that
there are full $4,000 now outstnnd-
ing. Hc denounccs the over-issue of
the certificates as fraud, and says
that it was kept g secret from him
until he found it out by the fact that
the appropriation had been exhausted.
In another communication he says:

report, and deem it a duty to myself
to reply to its unjust and unwarant-
able conclusions.

report. | lave also refraincd from

TALEDICPORY,

Finding THAT my increasing duties
as teacher and surveyor demand my
undivided attention, I feel called upon
to resign my position in the TIMES
with this issue.
In my editorial control of the paper
/ have endeavored, in my feeble way,
to advance those principles of pure
and liberal democracy, which,. in the
language of Jefferson, mean, "equal
and exact justice to all men, of what
ever state or persuasion"
AS to the present popularity of
these views | have never given any
serious concern, being thoroughly sat
isfed with their soundness and ulti-
mate triumph.
Of course, after this issue, will
have no influence in the conduct of
the paper, but I can at least indulge
the hope that the chair which now
vacate may be more worthily filed.

1HURLOW WEEDS LETTER.

This veteran journalist has written
a letter in which he discusses at great
length the defeat of The republican
party, and the situation generally.
He slenounces "third ternism' as
daa sf6ds ~ any safid NJ wssisg f1s
claims that the republican party is
not responsible for the general stag
nation in business, he admits that the
administration has failed to do much
shst may have mitigated the evils
which have resulted.
He thinks the administration was
seriously weakened and wounded by
the congressional "back-pay grab," by
treasury department imbecilities, by
Sanborn contracts, and Washington
City Government frauds.
He says further.
"There are ten thousand New York
ladies whose costumes, when in full
dress, cost at least $1,000 each. Fif
teen years ago the same number OF
fashionable ladies would have ap-
peared adorned quite as attractively
at an average expense of $780," while
thousands are without the means Of
obtaining food and necessary apparel
He regards the dcspotism of trades
unions as uncomfortable, and extremely
pernicious i'll their tendency. He
looks upon the civil rights bill as Of
questionable wisdom.

a COTTON FACTORY.

- r. =. /.
Some time ago meeting was held
in O Orangebnrg TO take into considera-
ton the feasibility Of establishing a
facforyin tll;s vicinity. A committee
was appointed ST tkis meeting to en-
quire into the matter and report at a
subsequent meeting. These meetings
We're held ut the time of the financial
panic, and, OH this account, the sub
ject seems to have been dropped.
We are aware of the difficulty of
.inaugurating or sustaining anything
founded alone upon patriotism; but in
an enterprise like this of establishing
a cotton factory, which must be di-
rect pecuniary benefit to our farmers,
as we'll as every one else owning prop
erty which they wish enhanced by in
creased population, we are at loss
to account for the apparent indiffer-
ence. Everything is favorable for
such an enterprise in Orangeburg,
and if there is not capital enough in
the community, why not organize and
invite corporation from abroad
We must help ourselves if we wish to
prosper. ~ +. - 5555

it is not necessary to be great while

it, and Mr.. Pike wouldn't be much
surprised if he were to get it. TO be-
gin with, he is now certain of the
negro and carpet bag delegations, who
will represent the South in the next
Republican Nominating Convention.
These will be "the dead weight of the
convention, not amenable to high pub

certain of tho delegations from the
Democratic States of the North-New
York, New Jersey, Indiana, &c. TIo
may hope pretty confidently to pick
up more or less drift-wood from such
doubtful States as Pennsylvania and
Ohio. Mr.. Pike doesn't sec why his
