mlsSloncrs could name whom thcy
pleased, OF their own party, bat claim
ed also tho right to havo voico in
soliciting tho Democratic inspectors.
Mclean and Morrison nominated a
list Of Robinson Democrats, which tho
Republicans ;cfuscd to confirm, on
the ground that Tammany was the
regular Democratic organization
Their real motive was that Tammanv
is helping the Republican candidate.
This would not give Robinson any
representation. The deadlock con-
tinucd several days in the board. In
the meantime Tammany went before
Judge Wcstbrook and obtained n de-
cree that one Tammany commissioner
had been illegally removed and was
entitled TO sit on the board. This
would have secured Il majority Of the
board for tho Republicans and Tam
many. Another complication arose
from tho provision Of the law that the
inspectors should be chosen before the
first of October; and by many it was
urged That unless the deadlock was
broken before that time the whole
city would be disfranchiscd at the
coming election. In this emergency,
Governor Robinson called u special
term OF three superior Judges, who
summarily overrulcd Wcstbrook. pro-
hibitcd tho Tannnany commissioner
from attempting to oust his successor,
and decided that inspectors can be ap-
pointed after the 1st instant. In the
meantime the board had appointed Il
list ofinspcctors, two Republicans and
one anti-Tammany, leaving one vacan-
cy ut each precinct. Tammany then
applied to the Supreme Court for a
nv tnd0mat', a. d that Court has de-
creed that the Democratic party as q
whole, without reference to factions,
must be considered, and that as the
anti-Tammany party have one inspcc-
tor the other must be given to Tam
many. This is blow to Robinson,
leaving his inspector IN minority on
each precinct board in the city. Dur
ing the deadlock some amusement was
caused by Commissioner Mclean pro-
posing list Of inspectors including
such names rs Augustus Schcll, Au-
gust Belmont, David Dudley Field and
other dignitarics Of the party. Il Re-
publican moved to insert Suml. j.
Tildcns name in place OF Cyrus w.
Fields. The recent bitter fcud be-
tween these worthless gave pungcncy
to the joke.
The preliminary fight over the in
spcctors having ended, the contest for
votes will now begin. TO say that
all sides express great confidence is to
put it mildly. They are enthusiastic,
and throw So much doubt on the re-
suit that political prophets arc shy
about forccasting an opinion. Robin
sons prospects arc not very good. lie

does we do not care to bet against

-lFrom The New York ucrnml ..


lFrom The New York Herald
All those Americans who, when
they go to England, desire to do as the
English do, should read, ponder and
inwartlly digest the "Alanncrs and
Tone Of Good Society,"" by GA Mem
Der of the Aristocracy," published by
f.. Warnc Il Co., London. The man
or woman who follows the instruc-
tons OF this volume cannot possibly
go aground upon tho uncertain shores
OF the social world. The author inn
presses the reader in her introduction
with the terrible consequences Of COM
mttihg "Socialisln," SO that he reads
the book TO remember its instructions.
Individuals who have "lcd secluded
or isolated lives, or who have moved
in other spheres than those wherein
well bred people move" will find that
these pages will put them en- rapport
with the upper ten thousand, so that
they need fear nothing. The soul
tearing mysteries of card leaving are
fully explained, and we are told the
Instructions here given may be "fcar-
lcssly followed" 1t is not good form
for young ladies to leave separate
cards. Their names should appear on
he same card with their mothers.
DO not have "Nlr. and Mrs. Blank" on
card. The husband and wife must
have separate cards. The gcntlcman's
small, the ladies large, and both on
thin cardboard. Wedding cards are
obsolete. Formal calls should not
occnpy more than fifteen minutes, and
the conversation should be of the light
est character. In another volume this
aut hor gives specimens Of the CONVEX
sation which should be indulgcd in.
lnlr1ductions arc very vulgar. Never
Introduce unless there is some particu-
lar reason for the introduction. The
proper manner of addressing tilted
persons is given minutcly. The high
est lady III the realm, Her Majesty the
Queen, is addressed as :Ma',m" bv
members of the aristocracy; by tho
middle and lower classes as "Yom'
Alnlesty." Princes and dukes are
called ''Prince" and "Dukc" by their
equals aud "Your lIighncss" and
"1onr Grace by their Interiors.
Careful directions are given for dinner,
parties. You arc even told how to
eat. For example, the pastry should
be eaten with a fork, crumbs of checs.
on crumbs of bread, fish with q silver
knife and fork, not with a crust and

to tho pronounciny Of certain sur
names that prove so bothcrsomc to
the uninitiatcd, but arc considered the
shibbolcth that distinguishes tho well
bred man from the clown. TO Amer-
cans they often prove a stumbling
block. For instance, Majoribanks is
called Morshbanks; Mainwaring, Man

CURIOsITIES OF ENGLISH JUSTICE
Some curiositics of criminal pro-
ccdure may have been noticed in the
reports from that stern temple Of ius-
ticc, the Sessions House, Clcrkcnwcll,
~ woman siXty-tow years Of age, for
stealing towel and an apron, was
sentenced to twelve months imprison-
mcnt, with hard labor. A youth of
nineteen, for abstracting purse con-
tanning half crown ''and other
moneys" belonging to his father, got
five years imprisonment, with hard
labor. Perhaps these were bad Of
Tenders, and previous convictions were
certainly proved against them; but the
sentences, ut least show tia. Justice
was not tempered with any large
amount of mercy. AS soon, however,
rs wo come to those highly-favorcd
culprits, tho wifc-bcatcrs, we find
mercy suprcmely ascendant and inter-
ccding in their behalf most cllicacious-
lv with her stcrner sex. William
Powell, q young and healthy brute of
thirty-onc, was convicted on the
charge of having assaulted his wife and
occasioncd her actual bodily hurln.
The charm" consisted in having been
Drained with poker by her loving
lord and master, who, after an angry
alteration, lanchcd the poker at her
head, javcin-wisc. No wild Indian
could have thrown his tomahawk more
neatly. The poker, "bcing short and
worn at the end," entered the woman's
forehead and stuck fast. 1t was pull
cd out, not by her muscular husband,
but DV DaSSiu{r StrNNUnr whom rrino
of "Murdcrl" brought to the spot.
The victim lowered for days between
life and death, with compound frac-
turc ofthc skull, yet, for q wonder, re-
covered to give evidence at Clcrken-
we'll. The assistant judge called it q

crring husband just three months i'm

Better Schools.

While the public schools In the State
are accomplishing good, they cannot
yet meet fully the requirements and
expectations of the people. The
theory Is admirable, based as it is
upon tho experience Of years, but it
cannot be carried into complctn prac-
ticc for want Of money. The two
mill tax is Insufficient to keep open Il
sufficient number Of schools in each
district for Il sufficient length of time
each year. With more money, this
can DC accomplished. People speak
of the States extravaganza in the mat
ter Of the tax, when in reality the tax
is comparatively mcagrc pittancc.
Massachusetts raises, in one way or
another, a four mill tux, amounting to
twcnty-onc dollars q year for every
child within the scholastic age. Other
States raise fifteen, fourteen, twelve,
ten, dollars month, railging down
wards until South Carolina is reached
with tho small sum Of about IL dollar
and Il half It is absurd to talk about
giving child good education for IL
dollar aud Il half Il year, as the cost Of
tuition is more than a dollar a month.
1t can easily be seen that some chill
drcn must be deprived OF educational
facilities, and others can go only three
or four months. Tho fund must be
increased. No one expects South
Carolina to do as much as New York
or Massachusetts Or other wealthy
States, but she can do more than she
now docs. The ilicrcusc should be by
local taxation. Charleston and Wins
boro have local tax. and other towns
arc ready to petition for it. Why
should not country school districts
also apply for II rc-enactmcnt of the
old law with the restriction that only
property holders shall vote? The
difficulty was that voters who paid no
tax werG enabled to heap up taxes on
property. by restricting the vote to
the property holders, this objection
is removed. Most OF tho districts
paid a local tax even under Radical
rule when school moneys were s1uaE-
'dcrcd. They can do SO now when
they got back NIL their money, and
when the State tax is but half what it
used to be. Again, in Fairfield, a
tcncc tax of a mill and half was
levied last year, which will not again
be required. Why not pay something
more for schools2 We arc pleased to
note general desire for better schools
over the whole county, especially in
Monticello and Fcastcrvillc. WHY do
not the property holders apply to- the
Legislature for permission to levy Il
small local tax? Such Il law would
not compel any such tax, but would
merely give the people chance to try
the experiment. 1t could be abandon.
ed If not satisfactory. At present, no
district can raise additional funds
even If it wishes. We believe that q
law can be passed SO framed as to
prevent any burden, and yet to per-
NIT benefit. Iarcnts, shall your
children be cducatcd2 If So, local
taxation is the cheapest way to do It
