School Convention.

We publish to-day a communica,
ton on this subject from an expert.
enced teacher-one eminently quail
fed, from his former connection
with these bodies, to write up.
on their advantages. A large
class of our citizens, embracing pa
rents as we'll as teachers, should feel
more or less interest in the matter
and for this reason we invite fur
ther expression of opinion upon the
subject. We are emphatically in fa-
vor of such an organization and will
give our aid to the success of the
measure. Indeed we are anxious
that some steps be taken looking to
tho advancement Of the educational
interest of our county, including the
modes of teaching, textbooks, disci-
pline of schools and such other mat
ters as would naturally come under
consideration. Let us hear from
others.

An important Rulinu.

In Charleston last week, Judge
PRESLEY, in the case from this Coun.
ty of John H. Livingston, plaintiff,
against II. B. Exum and others, de.
PENDANTS, made an important ruling
as to the practice in injunction cases.
The plaintiff had obtained an injunc
ton from Chief Justice Willard, OF
the Supreme Court, restraining the
defendants from treapassing upon
and working o tqrpentine farm, and
the defendants MOTION before Judge
PRESLEY was to dissolve this injunc.
ton. His Honor denied the motion,
holding that he had no power at
chambers or in term time, except
upon the trial of the case, to re-ex-
anime and affirm or reverse an in.
junction made during his absence by
another Judge or Justice of the Su-
preme Court. This is the first decis-
ion made on this point and involves
a question Of a good deal of impor-
tance to those who are disposed to
indulge in the luxury of the law.

The Election Trials.

The political machine, known as
the United States Circuit Court, over
WHICH Judge Bond presided, and the
working of which Distric. Attorney
Northrop manipulated, was brought
TO n sudden stand-still on Tuesday
by an order from His Honor instruct.
ing his packed jury to bring in a ver-
dict Of Not Guilty in the Barnwell
cases WHICH have been on trial for
the last week. The cause for this
order is said to be the want of cor
rect Information TO convict the pris-
oners on n single one of the five
charges against them. Upon This the
District Attorney moved for con-
tinuance Of all the other cases until
the November term of Court, on the
ground of saving expense to the Gov
Ternment and singularly enough, the
motion was granted.
Several reasons might be given for
this sudden stopRage in the wheels
of justice buo none of them will fur
nish satisfactory cause. The kind
consideration Of the District Attor-
ney for the farmers at this season of
the year, or the laudable plea of
economy in the way of expcns, of
the Government, o9F the press of other
and moro important cases, are all
specious pleas for the public ear, but
do not give the true inwardness of tbs
matter. The more probable cause is
the possession of Tartar without
knowing what to do with it, or tho
prudent fear on the part of tie Court
that tho present and future action of
Congress threaten to deprive the
Court of the necessary grease to run
the machine.
Let the cause be what it may, q
failure to try the cases and to conyict
the prisoners is victory for pemoc-
racy of which We had but little hope
at the beginning of the term,

Aid for WaIterboPo.

On the 10th most destructive tor
nado passed oyer this unfortunate
town destroying more than one half
the buildings, very large portion of
the provisions nefessary for the sub
sistence Of her Inhabitants and killed
outright six and wounded many
others of her citizens. Under such
circumstance we think the appeal Of
nar sced Geyernor emiaen.ly proper
apd humane. The people of South
Carolina have never before been call
ed upon 10 extend the sympathies of
the heart and the help Of the hand to
their fellow citizens for szes..i 8 cause.
They have been accustomed to aid
sufferers from fire, pestilence and
war, and the record of the past shows
what noble hearts beat In the breasts
Of our people, but here is q cry for
help from whole community stricken
with sudden sorrow by the hand God
through the fierceness Of the storm
wind. The State will respond and
let Orangehnrg come up nobly in q
Christian spirit of charity not only
in extending sympathy which is good
but in money and provisions which is
better for the permanent relief of he,
sister town.
We happen TO know, from long
residence among them, much of these
people and know that they were poor
even before the storm laid their homes
in ruin, and now the cry for helE
comes from hearts burdened Will
want intensified tenfold. We vii
take pleasure in forwarding to ths
proper parties any contribution oul
citizens may feel disposed TO make

a Political Trick.

Correspondents Of several North
ern and Western papers are ventilat-
ing scheme by which the election
of Republican President in 1880
may be assured without the shadow
of doubt; and the matter is spoken
of even in the club societies Of North
ern cities with the yieY Of placing it
before the farming communities Of
Tic several States,
1t is calculated that the importa-
tion OF one hundred thousand negro
voters from the South into New York,
fifty thousand into Ohio, and seventy
five thousand into Indiana will SO
completely change the present politi-
cal complexion Of those States as TO
make them controlling factors in the
hands of tue Republican party. If
this scheme is found to be good poll
cy by the leaders aud expedient,
measures will be adopted to raise
from one to four million dollars to
move the negroes North, and to settle
them with Republican farmers. The
humanity, involved in the measure,
viewed from Radical standpoint,
is considerable and proposes 10 bene-
lit the negro morally and to raise him
politically to higher plain Of action !;
but viewed from Democratic stand
point, it proposes an eminently
laudable missionary work by WHICH
the New York Yankee is to be in.
structed by proficient Southern leach.
ers in thes"good way" both by precept
and example. The average Yankee
is not the most moral specimen OF
humanity in the world, and might be
improved by contact With Sambo.
The political history Of that section
makes it apparent that he DOGS not
vote upon any iixed principle and
very seldom as he ought to, and the
dogged persistency with which the
negro sticks to his political creed
makes him the most desirable ole
ment for Northern political society
at this particular junpturc,
SO far as the Southern white man
is concerned he has very little to say
about the success of this ingenious
scheme either one way or another =;
he proposes TO keep the even tenor
bis way whether the negro goes West
or North, or remains in the South.
View the colored race from any
standpoint, the conclusion, that it
has been Of no advantage materially
to our country, is forced upon us, and
the question, therefore, whether he
goes or remains, is of but little mo-
ment. Politically the race has been
a curse and if it uses the franchise
with no better discretion in the future
than in the past the quicker the ego
dus begins the better. The influence
of politics upon an indolert, ignorant
and improvident life makes it vicious
and promotes in it strong Aversion
for the active, intelligent and enter
prising citizen which will result inev-
itably in discord and final corruption.
Such has been the experience in our
South Carolina communities and will
be whenever the question of race is
to lie settled. If, therefore, no other
phase of character be developed in
the negro by the influences of educa-
ton now brought to bear upon him,
we look with stole Indifference upon
this political Yankee trick.
