A>Little Plain Talk.

The Charleston papers and the Colum-
bia REGISTER are censured by the Edge
field Advertiser, the Abbeville Medium
and the Anderson htelligencer for their
failure to protest against certain general
statements contained in letter written
from South Carolina, by Mr.. Clarke, of
the Springfield Republican. This letter
was published in the Ns'0s and Courier.
A correspondent of the Edgefeld Ad-
yertiser regards the views of Mr.. Clarke
as the views of Charleston, and pitches
vigorously into Charleston, denouncing
conservatism that put Chamberlain in
the highest seat of the synagogue, and
the finest carriage to ride in, whenever
he appeared in that celestial city. A
conservatism that would have put one of
their wealth and intelligence on the Rad.
ical ticket. A conservatism that allowed
young men to be shot down in their
streets without assistance. A conserva-
tism that threatens even yet to defeat
Democratic measures in the Legislature
by fusion with the dead dogs, who
would never revive but for the hope held
out to them in the low-country. And
even the Anderson Intclhgencer says: ::
The letter was written from Charleston,
and this feature may account for the sec.
tional complexion which it assumes, and
the actual ignorance which its writer
displays in speaking of the ignorance
and poverty of the State lying in the up
country which it asserts is controlled by
Bourbonism. Perhaps he had been read
ing Mr.. Memminger's speech about the
South Carolina University, and believed
his wholesale statements about the ig-
norance of our people, or drew his in
spiration from men of similar bigotry
and lack of practical information. Other
papers, we believe, have spoken in the
same strain. They do Charleston gross
wrong, as is unfortunately the practice
of some of our interior newspapers: The
very ignorance of the wishes and feel
ings Of the people of the State which
they charge upon the representatives Of
Northern newspapers they exhibit chem
selves in speaking of Charleston. To
Judge by their words there is as strong q
prejudice against Charleston, in their
minds, as there is against South Carolina
in the minds of extremists in the North.
Mir. Clarke, came to South Carolina
and saw and judged for himself. IN Co
lumbia he had long talk with Governor
Hampton and other Democrats, ss we'll
as with Republicans, and, in Charleston,
he talked with as many Republicans and
Democrats as he could call on during the
few hours that he could remain in this
city. His views are his own, and for
them he and his newspaper are response
BILE. 1t was right and proper to publish
what he said, for the Springfield Repu6-
Hcan has reputation second to that of no
other American newspaper for purity,
fearlessness and independence, and no
newspaper gave q more intelligent sup
port to the efforts of the Democracy to
secure the fruits of their victory.
And it must be added, right here, that
the up-country cannot expect to be re-
garded in the North as the centre of lib

Mr.. Hayes has rewarded him with the
French Mission. As Mr.. Hayes reputa-

sadly besnleared by these late confessions,
Noyes had better return to help Hayes
out of the present trouble. He helped
get him into it and ought to see him out.

The Florida disclosures have opened
Mr.. Hayes eyes, and he will probably be
more considerate in his treatment of the
men who made him President against the
voice of the American people. He has
appointed Stephen B. Packard, of Lou

The Vernal Equinox.

Here is some curious information about
the movements of the sun and the effects
upon the seasons. This year Spring will
set in on the 10th OF thi. month At noon
on that day will occur the veneral equi-
nox. The information printed below 10
clipped from q late number OF the New
York Tribune:
The sun, which has been South all Win
ter, then crosses the equator on hts way
North, and Spring commences. This in
tersection OF the equator by the suns path
is called the First Point of Aries" and
is the starting point from which astrono-
mers measure lopgnitudes and right-as-
tensions. But though the sun is trav.
cling north, it stnot be supposed that
he is coming any nearer. On the con-
.rary, his distance from the earth is now
increasing at an average rate OF 1900
miles per day The earth was nearest
the sun on December 31st last, its dis
tance being 90,S50,00 miles On March
1st it will have added to these figures
100000 miles, and on July End next,
when the earth is farthest from the sun,
its distance will be 93,950,000 miles.
Thus the earth is more than three mil
lions of miles farther away from the sun
in summer than in winter. But il hap.
pens then that the northern parts are then
turned more toward the sun, and so re-
.ceive greater amount OF heat and light
Just as person sitting near the side OF
8 larger fire would fnd it much hotter at a
greater distance if he were right in front
oft Northern winters have not always
occurred when the earth was nearest the
sun, nor the corresponding summeE
when It was most remote In the year
40S9 B. c., or about the supposed epoch
ofthe creation Of the world, the sun was
nearest the earth at the veneral equinox
In 1850 A. D., 1t was nearest at the Win
ter solstice. In $3.50 A. D., il will be the
nearest at the Autumnal equinox, and ip
the year 1898 A. D., the earth will be
nearest the sun in Summer and fartbest
from It in Winter. At that distant epoch
10, 900 years hence-the average tenn
perature ofa New York Winter will be
zero, or 80 degrees below freezing point
with the cold often so extreme as to so
lidify mercury; and Of Summer 100 de-
grees, with the Thermometer often run
ming up to l30 degrees in the shade
What manner of man must the future
New Yorker be, to bear these extremes
with equanimity?

Gently took place near Hoge Station, q

panion named Stnttsman, both being from
Mount Carmel, Northum berland county,
Penn. While he and his companion we're
sleeping by the campfire, three tramps,
whose names are unknown. came up and
asked premission to sleep by the FIRE.
This being refused, the tramps went away,
and the two young men went to sleep
again. About midnight Butts awakened
to find his clothing 10 flames, and q bur-
ming railroad tie laid across bis body. He
tore the burning rags from his body, but
he was so badly burned before be could
do so, that the flesh dropped from bis
body in various places. he crawled to a
farm house near by and had his wounds
lied up, and was then taken to the poor
house in this city, where he died this NOR
