has never received cent from our
General Government for local i'm

best we can, simply aud only because
we are Tern o.y and not State.

A TRUE FAITH Is SHOWN BY COOP
WosKs.-A large collection of valua-
BILE books is on the way by rail to the
Tacoma Library. These books are
the contribution of Messrs. Hough-
ton, Osgood & Co., the leading pub
fishers of Boston. Liberal additions
have also been made by the Congre-
gational Publishing House of that
city, and the American Board of
Commissioners for Foreign Missions.
The books may be expected by the
next trip of the Dakota. The meln-
bers of Tacoma Library may con-

For Newspaper Readers.

Did it ever occur to the reader Of
daily or weekly newspaper that the
labor of type-setting and printing is
performed just as much for the in
dividual beoe6t of the man who
buys only single copy, as though
he were the only reader in the world ?
And yet this is the true state of the
case. The multiplication Of copies
has very little to do with the ques-
ton. Like publishing a book, after
The fist revised copy of newspa-
per comes from the press, the out
lay OF money and work is practically
at au end. Upon that single copy
has been concentrated all the labor
of writing, type-settipg and press
work. We are not in error, then,
when we say that although a hun
dred thousand copies of n paper
may be scattered over the land, pc
rused by ten times as may readers,
the man who pays ten cents for
single copy to read, is actually as
much the recipient of all the ex-
penditure of time, money and labor
by the publishers, as if his copy was
the only one sold. Few readers
have an adequate idea of the first
cost of single newspaper. Sup
pose, after the first perfect cory of
large city daily had been printed,
an explosion should demolish the
press-room and all its machinery.
The single copy which survived the
catastrophe could not be duplicated
short of the original cost of the i'm
meuse establishment. Five editions
of the New York Herald are issued
every Sunday, aggresating sixty
eight columns of advertisements.
Speaking of such a days work, that
paper says:
apart from the great amount Of extra
labor required 10 set the immense quantity
of type required by increase of size, the
single item of stereotyping reaches ex-
traordinary dimensions. AS fourteen plates
are made of each page of the Herald our
issue to-day calls for two hundred and
eighty plates each of these plates weighs
fifty pounds. so the full set requires about
IA Geo pounds or seven tons OF metal from
which TO print this single edition. In
ound numbers, about three millions of
pieces of type have been picked up, one
at "a time, Nv coinpositors to prepare The
pages for the stere0lypers, and more than
one hundred and fifty men were required
10 set the type, and make the plates and
print the paper
Prodigious as such feat may ap-
pear, what the Herald does between
IL night aud a day, is done by every
daily paper in the land, each IN lis
own degree. Well has it been said
that those people who never make
their way into the advertising COL
umns OF newspapers, need not flat
ter themselves that they are mater
tally helping to keep in motion this
great engine of enlightenment. The
mere subscription money is n small
affair to paper, since no reader
would ever think of paying q 1.-THE
of the actual cost of his own paper.
Liberal and enterprising advertis-
ers, after all, constitute the real
foundation upon which well con-
Quoted newspaper depends for sup
port, and upon whose broad Shout
ders it rests. Subscribers, and the
accidental buyers of single copies,
are mere accessories in comparison.

Rose EytinCe.

We can safely assert that no &C
tress who has ever appeared before
an Olympia audience, has caused so
much diversity of opinioa regarding
her title to a high rank in her pro-
fession, as Rose Eytinge. Some o.
the audience went Into estacies over
the exquisite rendition of Julia,
while others laughed, cheered and
cried over a minor part, and almost
entirely ignored the central figure
of the play. This is not, however,
surprising. Our people have little
opportunity for studying the drama
as an art, and so more TO be amused
for the time being, then to make the
different phases of emotion q study
or subject of serious after-thought.
Hence The lighter dramas invariably
create an enthusiasm which it is
impossible TO the melo-dramatic or
tragic ever to arouse, especially when
their chief dependence is founded
upon familiarity with the plot, and
important accessories and aids in
the way of scenery, properties aud
efficient support in all the parts. An
acknowledged star attempts most
difficult role in trying 10 please q
small audience in hall, where moth
ing but commanding talent united
with strong personal magnetism, can
successfully bridge over the many
gaps that intervene as the play pro-
crosses. 1t is matter of considera-
BILE surprise that managers cannot, or
do not, appreciate this fact. Better
far to risk The reputation of the star
actor in a minor drama, than to please
few whose opportunities for oh
servation enable them to supply
what is wanting and form just APP
probation, aud turn away an audi
ence who do not Euow whether 10
be pleased OF dissatisfied with what
they have seen and heard. Those
who closely followed Miss Eytinge,
could not but have been charmed
with the fidelity with which the
emotions OF love, duty, grief and
disdain, were portrayed, still Il large
majority would have enjoyed far bet
ter hearty laugh and almost liter
ally brought down he house," had
the main DRIFT of the piece been di-
rected towards exciting their lisi-
bilities.
We ale not disposed 10 be captious
OF hypercritical, but feeling that the
reception of an actress Of the reputa-
ton OF Miss Eytinge should have
been more in keeping with her we'll
earned fame, we seek to discover the
cause of the apparent want of ap-
probation, and believe that it is ow-
ing mainly to the selection of the
play presented for the occasion.
The expectations of the people had
probably been unduly excited. They
anticipated, as usual in the presen-
tation of petite comedies, to laugh,
and finding nothing in the part to
laugh at, they were disappointed.
Had Miss Eytinge remained here for
O short season and been seen in a
mirthful role, she would doubtless
have captured all hearts, as she does
wherever she has fair opportunity
of demonstrating her great capa-
bilities.

Hon. B. IL. Hill.

This distinguished citizen of Georgia
has undertaken to destroy the character
of Governor Colquit in reference to tina
officers action in signing Railroad bonds.
When great man like Ben Hill goes out
of his way to crush out a man who has,
by tho Legislature, been honorably &C.
Quilted OF the charge, VIC think he Is
in an enthusiastically small business,
and for such unreasonable persecution OF
a fellow citizen, deserves a just rcbukc
from the people of Georgia. We have
heretofore been one of Hills admirers,
but wc think he is now about out of a job.
It's none Of his business to prosecute the
Governor. AS lawyer he knows that a
man after being tried and acquitted, is
generally let alone.

Height of Impudcncc.

From the Register VIC learn that efforts
are now being made to induce the Gov
crnor to pardon l.. l.. Cardozo. In the
face OF the treatment which the citizens
of South Carolina have lately received
from the General Government We arc at
Il loss to know how the Democratic Gov
crnor of South Carolina can pardon the
chief sinner in tho Radical camp. INC
United States Government recently took
the murdcycrs of I.add from the officers
of the Court and turned them loose IN
Charleston. Commissioner Haum less
than Il month ago flashed his ill-Nlanncr-
cd telegram FROM one end of the country
to the other, saying that whiSkcy stillcrs
in South Carolina should be punished to
the extent of the law. ~ whiskrE dis
tillcr in Able, lille Jail will of course
be sent to Albany for several years while
Offenders of the same kind in the Nes-
tern States are imprisoned III county Jalls
fnra month or two. In the face OF just
such treatment We are asked to pardon
Caroduzo for his conspiracy to rob the
State Of millions of dollars, while Nor
tIhrop, United States Attorney, is in con-
dental correspondence with the negroes
and Northern white tramps that have in
tested the South since the war, cndcaror-
ing to get some testimony, manufactured
or otherwise, against the white people as
All excuse for Furnishing them under the
forms of law. This is all right however,
and wcmust pardon Cardozo.
This eternal %coquetting is becoming
nauscating, and our people have borne it
long enough. If Governor Simpson
shall turn loose the chief offender against
the taxpayers of South Carolina, so that
he may annoy us at Washington, when
Raum so far forgcts his dignity as to vent
his spleen against 4 poor illiteratc ~stiller,
and Northrop, an officer of the Govern
ment is on the rampage against our citi-
zcns, Il supply of the English language
is utterly insufficient to do the subject

We are authorized by General McGowan,

cy of Abbcvillc County, until Monday night,
when we showed him The above circular OF
District Attorney, Northrop; The General
TO- come to Abbcvillc. He wishes thcylwould
come; that we can prove by a cloud of wit,
late election in Abbcville was the most quiet
and pcaccablc election that was ever held In
the county; that no man was ~bull-doIcll /;
no man was intimidntcd no man was de-
MED the right. but on the contrary, all were
invited to vote. That all the people Of this
county, white and black. are tired of Radical
rule, OF violence, pcculntion and robbery.
our people have turned their attention to
their private affairs, and arc content with
Democratic rule, which gives short sessions
of the Legislature, good schools, low taxes
and exact md equal justice to all Our
acts demonstrate that all pledges have
been kept, and our colored people would be
singular indeed, If they did not prefer that
their schools should be kept open six months
