The Late Sens tor Owens, Of South
Carolina. piss

Captain Samuel Dihble, Of tie
South Carolina legislative committee
to investigate and prosecute charges
against lnte officials in that State, is
i'll Baltimore boxing after the affairs
of the late Young John Patterson
Owens, ex-senator from Laurens
County, who died at the Howard
House, Baltimor, last Wednesday.
Mr.. Dibble say he has taken no steps
Yet III the matter, and is here rather
to learn Of what Ovens effects con-
sisted. lie may pursue some legal
course to day.
The incidents Connected With the.
disposition ofthc effects of Owens in
Baltimore were substantially rs fol-,
lows On Thursday, officials Of South
Carolina, who had heard of Ovens
death, telegraphel to the proprietor
of the Howard House oand to the
Chief of Police of Baltimore to:see
that his affects did not fall into i'm j
proper haml-. Owens was under in.

etl tn the State, "A man and woman
had left South Carolina tojoin Owens
previous to his death, and it wa4 sta,-
c'i that they were not the parties who
should get the property. The South
| Carolina officials asked that an inven :
cry of the effects be made, and thas
they be held subject to the demand of
the authorized claimants. Marshal
Gray says that, in accordance with
this request, he went to'the proprietor
Of the Howard House. He saw Mr..
Wond, ami assertained that Ovens
left valuable papers and effects. An
inventory Of the property was taken
in the presence Of witnesses. A copy
of the inventory WAS telegraphed to
South Carolina, and the original kept
for the inspection Of any one legally;
entitled to inspect it. The effects were
| placed in the Safe Deposit Company
building. where they now are. The.
woman who claimed to be the wife Of
Owens left the hotel on Friday prior
to the arrival of. T. Owens, a half.
brother, who stated that the dead OK
Senator had no family. The half
brother was shown the effects, which
were tnkcn from The Safe Deposit for
that purpose, and he took memor-
andnm ot them, but was refused pos
session Of the effects bec,use he could
not show any legal right 60 them.
Attachments have been laid in South
Carolina against property to large
amount standingin the name Of Owens
including bank deposits, &c., the
location of which was ascertaiRed
through the invon tory transmitted to
South Carolina from Baltimore. The

pointed by a joint resolution of both
branches Of the South Carolina State

COMING.

They are coming from California.
And one of the most suggestive sights
in the world is the spectacle of Cali
fornian, who hasn't before seen rain
enough for year to lay the dust,
standing out in an Oregon rain with his
hat off, and enjoying it as aquatic fowls
do a Summer shower. Oregon has
been sneercd at as the rainy country
by California, but they are not sneer-
ing now. They are hunting country
where it rains enough, and prefer the
verdure of Oregon to the blight and
desolation Of California. Persons now
arriving tell Us that immense numbers
in California are preparing to move.
AS rapidly as they can they will come
t, our State. A great many are COM
ing by wagons overland. A gentleman
just through by the stage line informs
US that in Northern California and
Southern Oregon he passed large
number of parties, including families
and live stock, moving north. AT night
their camp fires were seen continually
from the stage road, and the sight is
described as being like that of the early
emigration across the plains. Every
steamer is loaded to its full capacity by
people who are seeking country where
crops never perish of drouth. 70 them
exag Grated reports of Oregon rains
are no longer terror, our climate, they
find, is preferable to drouth, deserts and
starvation.- Oregonidn.

A POOR CONCERN.

Mr.. Charles G.. Leland relates a story
of the good minister of Massachusetts
village aud a shiftlcss, whisky loving
In lian, who in time of revival became
one of his converts. The excellent
clergyman greatly rejoiced at having
rescued another" while the Indian, in
return, one night expressed with solemn
JOY his assurance, "Me no 60 Hobamoko
Chat is, perdition)- Injun soul save, all
right" But the day after this affecting
scene the minister, thoughtfully riding
along. discovered his convert lying in
rocky corner near the road, deeply,
drcadfully tipsy. Signing much and
sadly, tho minister rode on but was
scarcely rod from the spot when his
ear was struck by cultural grunt,
which was solemnly and impresaively
repeated. Turning his head, he saw
the Indian maintaining himself with the
greatest difficulty in sitting posture,
and gazing sternly at his friend, as if
from the height of some great idea,
Ehile he beckoned to him as one having
authority. Slowly the minister rode
back. and paused. "Ugh" grunted
the Indian; "you know that little bust
ness me talk you bout lass night"
ayes, Benjamin, / do know" was the
reply; sit was about your salvation"
"Yes," grunted the unabashed; me

smile. as if wishing to diminish tho
clergyman's disappointment, "Injun

When swimming a horse, never
touch the bride, as horse is easily
drowned when checked up or otherwise
interlered with about the head. Sit
wei back and guide the horse with the
hand, gently s'upping him on either
side as required; thus horse will swim
a mile or more with full-grqwn man
on his back, and suffer but little. A
still safer way on reaching deep water
is for the rider to relieve the horse Of
his weight, by sliding into the water be-
side the animal, grasping the name
near the withers with one hand, thus
requiring the horse to tow the rider,
the latter assisting him in this by using
his legs aud free arm in the same way
as in swimming. In crossing rivers
with rapid currents, the rider should
take down stream side of the horse.
This method is practiced by the Indians
with much success.--Ntssoulidn.

COMMON SENSE. There is no COM
modify of so much value in the world
as common sense.
Common sense is back bone, muscle
and sinew; IL helps a man out Of diff
culties, bridges over unexpected chasms,
prevents heavy mortgages upon time or
trouble, and is the oil that removes fric-
ton, and calms the troubled waters Of
lives. Common sense is phlegmatic.
never likes to make itself ridiculous, and
so takes thought. Folly flies, while
common sense moves deliberately, and
neither singcs its own wings nor disturbs
the comfort of other people.-J Pot

LABOR, CAPITAL AND FATE.-The
sailing, few days ago, of number
of skilled carpenters and joiners
from this country for England, for
the purpose Of finding steady en-
ployment there, tells tale of It's
own. We have no desire to approach
the subject sentimentally, but GER
tainly the common way of treating
such an event as this, sadly signif-
cant as it is, is brutally dippant,
even among presumably intelligent
men. The common way Of disposing
of the subject is as follows:--The
laws of supply and demand regulate
most things in the business world:
if people do not choose to work for
certain stipulated sums let them re-
fuse and 60 elsewhere.
This is sound doctrine so far A. Il
goes, but it leaves out the root Of
the matter which will always stub
bornly insist upon staring the philos
opher in the face. All capable and
industrious men will feel, and arc
justified in feeling, that they have u
right to receive fair pensation
Tor their labor, and it is not enough
to tell them that the present rela-
lions between labor and capital pre-
clnde their receiving their compen-
sation. The fault seems to be
thrown further back, upon fate or
Proyidence--call it what you will
and all the practicability in the
world will not prevent the unsucccss-
fui laborcr from feeling that he has
'bccn wronged.-[N, Y. Telegram.

deny that no man had appeared be-

SEPARATE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

- SoAoiSh luNu u0ACO dul 1EcViS-
ne has engaged in an enterprise
which may give him some cheap no.
toriety, but will bring him, we think,
very little profit. This high hearted
Africans sense of honor and dignity
has been wounded by the very wise
and judicious action of the School
Board in providing for separate
schools for the white and colored
children, and he has appealed to the
Courts for an injunction to prevent
such an arrangement.
No allegation is made by this
naughty descendant of Ham that the
School Board has refused or failed
to provide as full, ample and satis-
factory school facilities for the COL
ored rs for the white children; his
only grievance is that the white and
colored children are not to be mixed
up and educated in the same school
rooms. Trevignc and his coadjutors
may possibly embarrass the efforts
of Superintendent Rogers and the
School Board to organize thorough
and effective school system, and thus
work injury to the negro children as
well as to the whites; but they can
not accomplish their end. The &C.
ton of the Board violates none of the
amendments of the Constitution of
the United States, quoted in the pc
tition of the plaintiff printed in the
Democrat yesterday morning, though
it does violate Article 1856 of the
bayonet Constitution of 1868, now
designated the Constitution of Lou
isiana. But the question arises will
the Courts of this State destroy the
public school system, and thus de-
prive both whites and blacks of the
blessings of education in a vain eff
fort to enforce a pernicious provision
of a so-called Constitution, formed
by the enemies of the State and our
civilization, and forced upon the peo-
pie at the point of the bayonet. The
protest of the people of Louisiana to
the United States Senate against the
imposition of this Constitution upon
them is fresh, even now, in our men,
DRY. 1t was almost a piteous appeal
to our conquerors to save US from
such degradation, from such hu-
initiation and shame; it was, indeed,
a thrilling beseechment to the civil
lied and Christian people of the
Union to save civilization and Chris
tianity in this great State from the
African supremacy which this very
article of the Constitution was de
signed to establish. But there came
no response to the cry and the car
and negroes, under the
bayonets of the Federal government,
promulgated that spawn of their ma
levolence and ignorance as the Con-
of Louisiana.
What the public school system has
been under that Constitution, it is
needless to relate here. We all
know that the schools in many por.
tions of the State were worse than
useless; we all know that under that
so.called organic law the work of
public education has not advanced;
that, on the contrary, strong pre-
judice and hostility has been engen
dered against it, and that the large
sums of money the taxpayers have
paid for it have been almost an en-
tire loss.
1t is not, therefore, to be supposed
that under any circumstances the
mixed school system can be again
forced upon US by this foolish negro

THE SWORD OF sEMMEs,
BY F. o. T1cKNoR.

The pillows plunge like steeds chat bear
The Knights with foamy crests;
The sea-winds blare like bugles where
The ALABAMA rests.
Old glories from their splendor mists
Salute with pomp and hall
The sword that held the ocean-lists
Against the world In mail;
And down from England's storied hills,
From purple slopes of France,
The old bright wine of vslor fills
The chalice of romance.
For this was honor's tourney-space,
The tilt-yard of the sea,
The battle path of kingly wrath
: And kinglier courtesy;
And down the deep, in sunless heaps,
The gold, the gem, the pearl
In one broad blaze of splender belt
Old England like an earl.
And there they rest, the princeliest
Of earth's regalia gems
The starlight of our Southern cross,
The Sword of Raphael Semmes
And that great glaive which Arthur
gave
In guerdon to the sea-
Excalibur, that sleeps below
Until the great sea-bugles blow
The summons of the free.
