MEASUREMENT IN THE SOUTH.

1t cannot be doubted that the sys
tcmatic and extreme misgovcrnmcnt
imposed on the States of the South has
greatly detractcd from our national
prosperity. IN those impoverished
communities it has not stopped with
the ordinary effects of ignorant and dis.
honest administration. Ithas inflicted
upon them enormous issues of fr&udu-
lent bonds, the Bcanty ayai!s OF which
were wasted or stolen, and the exist
cnce Of which Is Il public discrclit,
tending to bankruptcy or reputation.

instances coniiscated the culirc income
Of property, and totally destroyed the

Rarely have we spent as pleasant a

The drill was the most thorough we

the most critical and trying questions,
that they had been thoroughly taught,
aud could grappla, successfully, with
the moatcompjcX questions, not found
in their text books, hut naturally grow
ing ont of the subject Of the lessons.
When we saw with our own eyes,
and heard with our own cars. we did
not wonder at the great popularity
this school has attained, and continues

DIR. Graves has been at the head Of
this College for 2C years. lie is The

tendance, before the war, some years
reached over 800; siuce the war, from
100 to 200, the present year about $50.

thorough and practical, and the di5cip-

The war ended more than eleven years
since. The whole OF the debts of the
southern states contracted during the
war and for its purposes have been wiped
ont by an amendment Of the constitu-
tion of the United States. The debts Of
nine of those states, created since they
came under republican control, amount
to more than $ljO, ,OOO,O ,OOO; how much
more it is impossible to say, because no
one can tell what the debts Of North and
South Carolina are, For this erroneous
mass Of debt there is substantially moth
ing whatever to show. The money has
been sQuandercd, stolen, and carried off;
and at thismOmcnt the states OF Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Ten
ncsscc and Virginia are unable to pay
the interest on their bonds.
One hundred and fifty millions is n
huge amount Of plumber to be obtained
out OF the Use Of the publiccrcdit of those
nine states; and it has all been obtained
by men who have had the public credit
of those states put within their reach by
the pretence that the republican
party is the party Of freedom,
and that its political suprem-
acy j. established to the safety OF the nc
grocs. There is no fraud in the whole
| history of fraudulent prctcnccs that can
| show $l5O,OO0, 900 of plumber obtained
by the simple swindling of an ignorant
/ pcasantry, suddenly endowed with Il
right of suffrage, making them the un-
conscious tools Of Il great public robbery.
The simple truth is that il the carpet
/ bag governments are not OvcrthrOwn,
the public debt Of these states can never
| be paid. What system OF taxation,
what system OF economy. can be looked
| for from the republican party, that will
put their bonds into good credit in the
money centers of any portion of cnrSten-
dom These states could not borrow
la dollar anywhere in the world, could
not fund their debts upon any basis OF
agreement with their creditors, unless
| the result of this election shall show that
the virtuous and intelligent among their
citizens have il in their power 10 con-
troll the course OF legislation and the
executive conduct of their governments.
Keep up the cry that the rights of the
negroes arc in danger, and by it continue
in power the men who have created these
debts, and population will assuredly
follow. Put an end to that dclusion
and enable their legislative bodies once
more to be filled by honest men, am
their executive offices once aOrc to bl
in the hands OF reputable citizens, an,
their natural resources will soon enable
them, with Il proper system of publ,
economy, to rid themselves OF the bur

The James and Younger Brothers.

The remarkable career of the Missouri
robber band, the leading spirits Of which
were the James and Younger brothers,
forms one of the most singular chapters
in the annals Of modern crime. Mum.
bcring originally about tw0nty men, for
eight years it has bailled the keenest de-
tectve talent in the land. The exploits
which have given them notOricty have
been on the most extensive scale and of
the most audacious character. Their
tactics have invariably been Il rapid
dash upon the bank or railroad train,
where their booty lay, half of them
making sure Of the plundcr, while the
remainder, by riding up and down firing
revovcrs, created panic amongst any
bystanders or travellers who would be
likely to interfere with their nefarious
enterprises. The secret of their success
lay in their knowledge of the southwest
ern country, and their isolation from all
but known friends or old war comrades.
The main.err0r of the detectives lay in
attributing their crimes entirely to the
,Iamcses and Yuungers, and ignCring the
fact that the gang was of much larger
proportions.
Their career commenced in 1868, when
bank at RussellyilIc KY, was robbed.
The following year similar criminal
exploit was committed at Galiatin, Mis-
souri. In 1870, seven Of them carried
off the days receipts Of the Kansas City
exposition in the presence of $4,000 peO'
pie. Banks at COrydcn, Iowa, Column
bia, Ky, and St. Genevicve also were
then robbed. In 1873, a train on the
Rock Island q Pacific road was wrecked
After a visit to Texas they returned and
robbed train on the It. Louis " Iron
Mountain road. Thirty thousand dol
lars worth of gold dust was next taken
from the Kansas Pacific train at Muncie
Kan, the same programme of flight tc
western Missouri being pursued in every
instance with entire success until the
late Northfcld affair The total amount
stolen by the band is about quarter oj
million dollars. Many of them have
been killed in the various ailrays with
pursuer5 in which they have been en-
gagged in from time to time, until only
Frank and Jesse James and two other
now remain alive and at large.

LIEUT.. CAMERON tells how an African
woman made pottery. First she pounded
enough earth and water for one pot, with
pestIe such as they use in beating corn,
till it formed u perfectly homogeneous
mass. She then put it either on n fiat
stone or on the bottom of another, and
giving it a dab with her fist in the mid
die, to form u hollow, worked it into II
shape roughly with her hands, keeping
them constantly wet, and then smoothed
out the lingcr-marks with a corn cob, and
finally polished it over with one or two
bits Of gourd and bit of fiat wood--the
bit Of gourd giving it the proper curves;
and finally ornamcnting it with a sharp
pointed stick. 1t took forty-iive min
utcs, and then it was put away to dry
four or five hours in a shady place. The
shapes of many are very graceful, and all
are wonderfully truly formed, like the
amphora in the Villa Diomcd, at Pom
