South Carolina on the Back Track.

THE promises of Gov. Wade Hampton
in regard to the good management of
South Carolina under Democratic rule
are not fulfilled. The Republican Leg
islatures, with all their faults, were
faithful to the interests of education.
The first step of the Democratic Legis-
lature has been in the direction of bar
barism. A correspondent of the New
York Nation gives the following from a
long resident of South Carolina, who is
not a politicians:
There has been only one short session
of the new Democratic Legislature, but
they made haste to work against the
schools. They abolished special taxes.
That puts the school tax, which formerly
could be used for nothing else, into the
general public treasury, to be appro-
priated as the dominant party pleases.
They forbade all local school tax; the
right of each school district to tax itself
is now taken away. This was done be-
cause the white people would not send
their children to the public schools, and
will not be taxed for colored schools or
general education. They provided no
money for enumerating the school chill
dren. This prevents adequate State ap-
preparations, as that is, or is supposed to
be, founded upon the number of children
requiring schooling. They called no
meeting of the Board of Education. This
gave the Democratic School Commits.
sioner opportunity to act as he pleases,
unchecked by his Republican associates.
They forbade partisan teaching. This
is to give legal cause for eiecting North
ern teachers. Who will object in South
Carolina to Southern politics being taught
and Southern views presented? They
prohibited any public school-teacher be.
ing Trustee of Schools. AS the Trustee
receives no remuneration whatever, ex-
cept exemption from the poll-tax, and
has to give much time and care, besides
being at some pecuniary expense, it is a
position by no means sought after, and
no teacher would be likely to accept 1t
unless under a sense of duty. They
broke up the University, and refused to
pay the just claims of the teachers or
professors. They broke up, also, the
Normal School, and so prevent the edu-
cation of cOlored teachers and injure the
State by sending out of it the only able
and competent teachers of Normal !
Schools, for the Southerners know moth
ing about modern methods. They cut |
down the salaries of the County School |
Commissioners to 5000 year, which
would pay no good business man for the |
trouble of the place. And, in addition |
to all these, the movement has begun to |
repudiate all teachers claims for past |
services unpaid. That was active and |
work for one short session, and |
from these blows South Carolina educa-
tion cannot recover for years"

Tom Leslie, as if finishing aloud a puz-

"Who9 Old Dart?"
Mr.. Dart. Yes"

The listeners laughed, enjoying the

TONED him, with mock anxiety as to the
treat he intended to stand them on the
occasion. Through all the laughter Tom
pursued his work, and Dart noticed this
when he entered the bank; and though
1t was bat very curtly he answered Toms
quiet greeting, yet before he reached the
inner door he turned and spoke to him.
Cool outside, Leslie. Keep up good

Then Mr.. Dart let the spring door close
behind him, and, sitting down. in his Of

so, looking moodily down into the fire,
when Mr.. Maitland entered the room.

him; and even when Walter stood upon
the rug beside him he did not venture
TO meet his eyes.

A glance of surprise into his friends
face, and then Mr. Dart spoke in few
words as was his custom:
" She has refused me, Maitland"
Refused youl"
Walter repeated the words, though
not incredulously. Only truth, he knew,
could have weighed them so sadly. "She
has never cared for me but as a friend
simply and only as friend"

Mr. Dart, without looking up, "she told

is avcrrcd that no less Il parsonage than
the late George Peabody, the celebrated
American banker, was the hero. Itap-
pears that Mr.. Peabody had invited three
Englishmcn to meet two Americans ut
dinner, and on this occasion, having re-
determined to renew the rccollcctions OF
his youth, astonish his English and please
his American guests by having it served
up in the wcll-known American style.
Accordingly, at proper time, plates
of butter and salt were placed before
each guest, and the banker, with sqinc-
thing of an air of mystery, annouSccd
that he was now about to treat his gdcsts
to well-knoMn and delicious ANGLICAN
dish of food, cooked in the American
manner. 1t would be no novelty ID his
American guests, but the Englisl men
must watch how it was disposcddf by
them, and follow their example and man
