A Difference.

The Conference of the African
Methodist Church held here last
week was i'll striking contrast to that
vf 'itu .olored branc Ii of the North
crn Methodist Church held at Green
Vile at the same time. The former
WIS n qni ct, orderly body, dealing
only with religious su bjects, doing
and saying nothing that savored Of
politics, while the later was Just the
contrary. Bishop Gilbert Haven,
Dr.. Fuller, DR.. Webster and other
whites present did all they coull to
fire the negroes hearts against tn
whites among whom they live. Tho
Greenviile NcUi states that DR.. Full
Ter, Editor Of the Christian -Adc0catc,
Of Atlanta, addressed the Conference
Saturday. Speaking of the late cleo
ton in this State he mentioned Edge
field; said the whole population of
that County, male and female, was
only about 1000, yet the Democrats
claimed Il majority of 1000 This
the reverend doctor said was IA
wicked, huge aid stupenlous lie.''
Bishop Havcn followed in the same
strain. Rev. A. Webster told of a
colored man who was offered $4,000
to vote the Democratic ticket; he
prayed V c it, aud determined to
refuse the offer and vote the kapubli-
can ticket.

Sherman at Atlanta.

The Nt,cs and Courier thus COM
ments upon the circumstance of Gen.
Sherman's visit to Atlanta last
week
The placid indifference with which
the people of Atlanta have treated
the visit of Gen. Sherman to their
city is worthy Of all praise. They
have neither sought him nor shunn-
ed MIN. They have not ever taken
pains to conceal their very natura
curiosity to behold the man who has
played a very conspicuous, if not on
altogether honorable, part in the his.
tory ofthe times, and especially in the
history of their city. Atlanta, in
this instance, is the representative Of
the South, and the incidents of Gen.
Sherman's visit to that city are a
striking illustration Of Tho fact that
with US the war is a thing of the past.
which, although it will never be for
gotten, will also never be revived.

young man perform his duty so faith
fully as to attract attention, aud let

The Struggle for Wealth.

The great struggle with civilizel

This is called prime good, the ono
thing needful, the great dis:deratum
OF life. So men toll for it; deceive.
cheat, defraud for it. Give time.
strength and ''ofte IL good health for it.
The truth is, the estimate put on
wealth is TOO high. Its good, its value
IS over rated. It is not the best thing
men can have. 1t does not confer
peace of mind nor purity ofthe heart,
heartfelt happiness nor contentment,
no home joy, no social blessedness,
nor any Of the solid and enduring
enjoyments, Wealthy homes are
often lappicr than those oftl,e
poor and comfortable livera. Poverty
is always an evil; but a fair supply Of
the n~eoessaries and comforts Of life is
quite as apt to confer real peace IA
great wealth. It is not gold nor goods,
therefore, that make men really
wealthy. The best wealth is,of the
heart, an enlightened mird, a loyal
conscience, pure aft. ctions. II. is the

The School Question.

The closing of the public schools
last week by order Of the School
Commissioner In: attracted our attan-
tion to this subject. That oar sch 90 |
authorities acted wisely in this mat
ter is proved by the fact that in
Orange Township alone there is 81
debt from last year ofs,mc $500 nd
ded to the already largedebt in consc
quence Of the schools havin. been
run longer than the appropriation
could meet, and the consequence is
that G number cftc,chers who work
ed faithfully perhaps cannot be paid
without extra appropriation.
The object OF our present school
authorities is to guard against this
difficulty, and, ifthe funds admit, to
reopen the schools earlier in the fall.
This is certainly the best that can be
done under the circumstances; and
under II present free school system
But we would ask, cannot the
whole system be changed for the
better? To accomplish much good
the schools must be kept open IL
longer time. The utilizing, an in
some degree perfecting the school
system is u subject worthy tile atten-
ton of our best thinkers. For Il CHI lid

To us it seems that it would he
better to have fewer, larger and bet
ter schools, we'll graded, and kept
open the time required by law, than
[" have SO many schools kept open
only three months. We are aware
that the distance to water will be
intcrl osed as an objection, but we
would ask if this disadvantage would
not be compensated by the greater
advantage OF better teachers and the

An UnrXss>ted Race.

Pompcy discovered thatthesc races
were on the taps, and he resolved to
enter his maSte,s horse on his own
account, for he felt sure that old
Morgan could lnat anything in the
shape of horselesl that could be pro.
duced in t~hatrssaSter. So on the
very next Sundnyevonlng he hid the
bride under his ticket, went u into
the pasture and caught the horse, aid
then rode off towards the spot where
the wicked onesj were congregated.
Here he found 81 Inc dozen horses as
sembled and the ncing was about to
commence. Pomp mounted his beast,
and at the signal he started. Old
Morgan entered into the spirit of the
thing, and camYRaut two rods ahead
of everything. ~nomp won quite
a pile, and before dark he was well
initiated i'll horse racing.
J omp succeeded i'll getting home
without excitins~any suspicious, and
be now longcd for the Sabbath after
noon to come, for he was determined
to try it again. He did goagain, and
again he won; and this course Of
wickcdness he followed up for two
months, making his appearance upon
the racing round every Sunday after
noon, as soon rs he could after
meeting was out" And during this
time Pompcy WIS not the only one
..l.u nun i>.Incsr ~ lU,u ,s.v .u,ing.
No, for old Morgan himselIlml come
10 love the excitement ofthc thing,
too, and his very motion hen upon
the track showed how zcalously he
entered into the spirit Of the game.
But these things were not always
to remain n secret. One Sunday a
pious deacon beheid this racing from
a distance, and s%trai,htway went to
the parson with the a'arm ing in,elli-
gcncc. The Rev. Mr.. Ridewcll was
utterly shocked. His moral feelings
we're outraged, aud he resolve ell at
once to put Il stop to the wickell.is.
During the week he mad many in
4uiricS, and he learned that this thing
had been practiSe,l all summer on
every Sabbath afternoon. He babe
his parishioners keep quiet, and he
told them that on the next Sunday
he would mase his appearance Oh the
very spot and catch them in their
deeds of iniquity.
On the following Sabbath, after
dinner, Mr.. i:idcwell ordered Pomp
20 bring up old Morgan and put him
in the stable. The order was obey
ed, though not without many misyiv
ings OH the part Of the faithful negro .
