From the Charleston News and Courier y .
We all know how worthless the census OF
1870 is as regards the city OF Char lesion and
che State Of South CaFo lina.taiu 7IeXas,
however. fine case was even worse. tSIr.
Mills, of that State, in a recent speech IN
the House, said that on an examination OF
the census he found twenty one counties OF
bis State put down with a less population
in 1870 thar i1 1860, when to the certain
Knowledge IL eSery5he'in at'part of Texas
the population,of all Of them had increased
at least one hundred per cent. The
city of Galveston was returned as having
population of $1,000, when municipal
census, taken year or two afterwards,
same complaints were made OF Houston.
San Antonio, Austin and other cities, and
the same dereliction OF duty characte rlzed
the whole work in Texas. He was satlsned
that il the census had been properly tahen
his State would have had at least one more
representative. 4" -....'.

MODERN DOCTRINE OF EQUALITY

inequality appears TO be the divine order;
it always has existed; undoubtedly it will
continue; all our theories and a r&it-i snrC-
ulations will not change the nature of
things. Even inequality of condition is the
basis of progress, the incentive to exertion.
Fortunately, if to-day we could make every
man white, every woman as like man as
nature permits, give to every human being
the same opportunity Of education, and di-
vide equally among all the accumulated
wealth of the world, tomorrow differences,
unequal possession, and differentiation
would begin again. We are attempting the
regeneration of society with a misleading
phase; we are wasting our time with
theory that does not fit the facts.
There is an equality, but it is not of out
ward show; it is independent of condition:
it does not destroy property, nor ignore the
difference of SEX nor obliterats race traits.
1t is the equality of men before God, of men
before the law; it is the equal honor Of all
honorable labor. No more pernicious no.

a farmer, but a man on a farm" What II
mischievous idea is that which has grown,
even in the United States, that .n:..-;;..i
labor is discredtable There is surely some
defect in the theory of equality in our soci-
ETY., which makes domestic service to be
summed as if it were disgrace.
1t would be considered humorous sug-
gestion to advocate inequality rs a theory OF
as a working dogma. Let us recognize it,
however, as a fact, and shape the efforts for
the improvement of the race In accordance
with it, encouraging it in some directions,
restraining it from injustice in others
Working by this recognition, we shall save
the race from many failures and bitter dis
appointments, and spare the world the spec

Some Things to Disbelieve.

When man advertises for partner, and
wishes young man to put in small in
vestment of one hundred or five hundred
dollars, and promises him u realization of
fifty or one hundred per cent profit, don't
believe it. When 4 man offers to give away
knowledge of the utmost value for the cure.
of consumption, and any and all other dis
eases, by merely sending Il three-cent stamp
to prepay postage, don't believe it. When
Il man proposes to do his utmost to make
every one else rich and looks to other pco-
pies interests more than his own, don I
believe it. When man offers to give you
something of great value for something of
less value: in other words, to give you some
thing for nothing, don't believe it. Many
persons advertise on purpose to filch young
men of money gained by hard labor, and
before entering into any speculation which
may be offered YOU, take advantage of the
many means ut your command and asccr-
tain the facts with reference 10 the proposed
business before you invest; and thus save
your money, and assist in effcctually break

were made by the ant-.Jac kson men to take

When Congress was in session, the rotun-
da presented a busy and motley scene every
morning prior to the converting of the two
houses. 1t was general rendezvous, and
the newspaper correspondents were always

of the day. Oilice-seekers were rare at
Washington in those days; but there were
always few impecunious, noribund poll

The library, on the western side Of the
rotunda, was the morning rendezvous of
the ladies who We're acquainted with the

been carefully burned by the British, ex-
President jefferson had improved the op-
portunity to relieve his pecuniary needs by
the sale Of a portion Of his library for SIS

hcatlon OF Dir. jefferson was retained, and
the books were arranged on shelves in twelve
alcoves, each one devoted to a particular
topic
The Senate Chamber, now occupied by
the Supreme Court, was admirably adapted
for the deliberations of the forty EIGHT gen
tlemen who then composed the upper house.
Modelled after the theaters of ancient Greece,
it possessed excellent acoustic properties,
and there was ample accommodation in the
galleries for the few strangers who then Wis
tied Washington. The Senate used to meet
at noon, and generally conclude its days
work by three o'clock, while adjournments
over from Thursday until the following
Monday were frequent. Occasionally set
speeches would be made OH some important
question: but the debates were generally
coloquial, and as there were no re,,5utir,a
reports of the proceedings, senator's would
change or modify their views during the
consideration of Il bill without being placed
on the record as inconsistent and change
able.
