Don't stoop.

We publish elsewhere the indica
tons from Mississippi that the Hon.
Jefferson Davis may be made United
States Senator from that State.
We have no loubt that Mr.. Da Wis
would make ms conservative and uhle
Senator now as he was before the
war when he shed lustre not only
upon Mississippi but upon the VIII o lie
country.
We have no doubt either but that
he would disarm his political enemies
by his conservatism and wisdom; but
we see two objections to bis acct ion
In the first place, just ut this juno
ture n vast deal of capital would be
made out Of the fact by the Rcpubli
cans for the coming campaign. He
would probably not have time to
make his record before the cry that
the rebels are capturing the capital
would be renewed with increased
vigor and effect. 1t may lose us
thousands of votes in the Presi Dental
canvass.
But, in the second place, Mr..
Davis escutchcon is too bright for
him at this advanced age to stain it
by asking for pardon. We have
always admired him for his posi- ton
that he bad done nothing to he par
doIcd for, and therefore he had no
apology to make, and no pardon to
ask.
All he has asked Of the United
States is 5, trial. If he has done
wrong he asks TO be shot; if righ,
acquitted. This priv; lege Of the
American citi zen has been denied
him, because the government isafraid
Of The result
Let Mr. Davis then end his green
old age, with the splendid ecord Of
his noble life untarnished, for the ad-
miration Of his people. Never let
him stUop from his exalted position.

Fur man University.

The commencement Of this veteran
institution of learning for the young
men Of the Baptist denomination in
South Carolina passed off last week
in Grecnvillc, with more than usual
brilliancy and success.
In the language Of the correspond
ent Of the News ard Courier" "what
Central Park is to New York, what
the Capital is to Washington, what
the new City Hall is to Baltimore,
what st. Mjchacls is to Charleston,
what Wof1ord College is to Spartan
burg, Fmman University is to Green
vii le-thc apple of her eye, the sub
ject Of her boast, the object of her
care and attention."
The debates of the Philosophical and
A7"Iphian literary Societies were
excellent, and brought IL profusion
Of flowers to the fortunate speakers.
The members Of the graduating g
class delivered speeches full Of prom.
Use for eloqucnce and thoughtlulness
A sound and practical sermon WAS
delivered before the Alumni Asso cia-
ton by Rev. J. w. Wingo.
Mai. II. W. Woodward delivered
the address before the Societies which
for cloquence and independence of
thought, for which he is distinguished,
is highly applnnlcd.

Fro m Grave to Gay; from Lively
TO Severe.

Conkling and Blaine have been
for long time annoying Southern
Senators by their clustering and
insolent language and strutLing
manners.
Last week the former stepped
little too lar when he got up in the
Senate Chamber and accused Mr..
Lamar and others of bad faith.
MIR. Lamar arose to reply and be
gan so quietly that no one, and least
Of MI Conkling, suspected what was
coming. lie first made q brief state
ment as TO his position regarding the
levee bill, and then slowly and de-
liberately said in voice which was
heard all over tho hall, "Ifthe Sena n.
tor from New York charges me with
bad faith, or implied bad gsi.h TO-
ward him, say to him that he is
guilty Of lalschood, and / repel it
with all the contempt | feel for its
author !"
Conkling was so astounded that he
could not speak for some moments,
but presently arose, white and tremb.
ling and in an excited manner fin
ally managed to say, that 'it he
understood Mr.. Lamar to impute IL
tnIsehood to him, nothing except the
fact OF this being the Senate would
prevent him from denouncing Mr.
Lamar as u blackguard, coward
al liar
Mr.. Lamar arose deliberately aud
quietly replied: 81 have only to say
10 the Senator from New York that
lie understood me correctly. | said
precisely the word TINT he understood
mo TO say. My language was harsh
and unparli amantary, and | beg
pardon of The senate for it, but it was
such language as no good man would
deserve and no brave man would
wear"
Mr.. Conkling said nothing more,
but, like the schooi boy, is trying TO
satisfy himself that he said "you lie
back but the thing don't set we'll
and he goes about the Senate now
with a crest fallen counton ance.

Hayes has sent in his veto to tho
Judicial bill, as was ex pccted. A
few of the Democrats fnvor imncdi-
ate ad journment, without any further
provision. Others favor a continua-
tlon OF the appropriations until next
January with the same limitations

however favor the preparing of

The Gloom Of ChiSelhurSt.

The lot of Eugene has indeed been
hard one; and now the death Of the
young Prince Napoleon, her nonle
son, at the hands Of the Zulu savages
casts gloom around the quiet shades
of (hiselhurst which cannot .ail 10
excite the sympathy of all christcl-
dom.
The lowering Of the French flag at
Sedan, the defeat and subsequent
death Of tbs ll-starred Louis
Napoleon, left the Empress a broken
hearted widow, seeking solace in the
solitude of Chiselhurst, with nothing
to live for but the gallant youth who
but n few months ago with fearful
heart she permitted to 90 to the land
of the Zulu's. And now the death of
the young Prince il strange land,
far away from home, has filled the
cup Of sorrow to overflowing. The
widow is now left childlcss, aud the
last hope Of the Napoleons has been,
cut oil.

Primary Schools.

1t lis great mistake to suppose that
ordinary teachers will do for the
primary schools, and that we only
want our hest teachers for the higher
schools and colleges. The fact is the
reverse of this position would be
nearer the truth. a teacher Of limi-
ted experience j II impnrting instruc-
tion would do less injury in II school
OF advanced scholars who have ac
quired the art Of study and self dis
cipline than in the primary school.
1t is here that wc want experience
and skill in training the young. An
able scholar is not necessarily II prac
sical teacher. a mnn may be filed
with inoMlodge and wisdom, but lie
may be entirely lacking i'll the power
Of imTarting the same to others, or
Of maintaining discipline.
T hose are the two most important
clements in = good teacher. The ex-
animation Of our public school teach!
ers are intended rather to ascertain
the amount Of Information posscsse 4,
than to bring light upon these points.
The efficiency of the primary
schools should be the first concern of
orr school officers. IF Tho stakes are
set right here, the work oi progress
will go on uniHtcrru pied; but ii they
are set wrong here by incxpcrienco or
careessness, future progress and
building up is al up hill work. The
education Of the boy improperly
taught i'll ihe primary school is apt
always to be defective The cxpe
ricncc Of every tea cher must concur
on this point.
We therefore warn all concerned
against the error Of thinking anybody
will do to teach in the primary
school. AS the twis is bent, SO the
tree will grow.
Nor is 1t only in an in tcl'cctn al
point Of view that this warning is
applied, but morally rs we'll.
1t is mol only important to give
Your child the best intellectual train
ing, but the moral clement must be
educated. This cannot be done rs
we'll by prccept ns by example.
There is so much hypocrisy in the
world that the discerning pupil is
apt TO become di-gusted with too
much cant.
If the teacher in the school house
dispcnscs excellent moral and religi-
GUS truths, but in the walks of life
does not give them force by example,
we apprehend that more harm than
good is done. TO cxhort in tn e school
house upon tho example ofGeorgc
Washington and his little hatchet,
aud then III daily conversation to en-
large or do worse is, not calculated to
mould the truthful character; TO speak
in these classic walls of tho value Of
temperance, hut outside to lie seen
irdu|g ne i'll the opposite vice, is not
ap, to lead the pupil to lif, Of So
briefly.
1t is therefore important to put II
our primary schools not only tic best
practical teachers, hut men whose
lives and examples will in them selves
