Congress on the theory of State sover-
eighty, the repeated attempts to repeal

elements of sectionalism, and have had
for their object the firing of the South

position in the Southern States against
the North. He asserts that the only

WASHINGTON NEWS.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-The editorial
in the Kingstree Star, stating that the
colored Republican, Swails. if he should
return to williamsburg county, S. c.,
would do SO at his peril, has excited
alarm among the northern democratic
Politicians. The first fruits of this alarm
are seen in an editorial in the Charles
town NewS and Courier, democratic
party paper which once defended Gov.
Chamberlain from the attacks the north

KeaCS and Courier, however, in CON-
handing the Kingstree Star to halt
makes an admission which is as extraor-
binary as the original article in the
Kingstree paper. The admission is made

TEXT BOOKS AGAIN.

Our contemporaries of the Express are
in hot water again, owing to their unfair
and unfortunate account of the Barton
Landing convention of June so. They
are out with ponderous article which
they aim at the MONITOR, but which was
really intended as an apology for their
assault on the text book committee and
their dolngs at Barton Landing on the
day mentioned. The text book commit
tee of Newport, feeling that the article
IN the E1preSs was unjust. publish a
statement in that paper in which they
say: "They are unit in expressing re-
greet at what the Express & Standard
said concerning the doings of the conven-
tion," sc. The MONITOR received
letter from prominent man, a member
of the convention. who was not an advo-
cate of either of the leading readers dis
cussed, who strongly denounced the
action of the Express in regard to the
convention. That paper then called, and
still insists in calling, the dolngs of that
convention ''farce." Now we do not
know just how nelghbor Camp wishes to
define the word farce. Webster defines
it as follows: "a dramatic composition,
originally exhibited by charlatans or
buffoons, in the open street, for the
amusement of the crowd. - . The
dialogue is usually low, the persons of
inferior rank, and the fable or action
trivial or ridiculous" Another defni.
milton is: Ridiculous or empty show"
Does neigbbor Camp want to have the
word "farce" literally applied ?
We do not see how our neighbors car
claim that they have not. in both theil
articles, severely reflected on the intelli
gence, the intentions, and the doings Of
the members of the convention.
So far as we know, the following are
facts: In every town in the county hon
est and intelligent men were chosen fol
a text book committee. They met il
convention at Barton Landing. discussed
matters a little. and decided that
county uniformity was desirable. Sub
committees were appointed which should
take up particular branch of study ant

The Hebrew Convention held recently
in New York. strongly favored the re-
turn of the race to the agricultural life
with which it was so early and so long
familiar. 1t is very important step,
and reveals the proverbial sagacity of
the Jew. No country offers such oppor-
tunities for agricultural pursuits as
America, and no profession lies SO far
beyond the possibility of being over
crowded as that of the farmer. America
may have some mission in the ful6lment
of prophecy, and the Jew wandering
from the East find second Canaan in
the far West.

preferences, and in nearly every instance
a uniform decision was reached. In the
matter of grammars. biographies. histor-
les, writing books. drawing books, in all
the higher, and some other branches,
there was no division and little discus
sion. On arithmetic there was a differ
ence of opinion. but the committee men
who were only one in minority, gener-
Ously yielded their preferences and an
amicable arrangement was made at once.
In regard to readers there was greater
diversity of opinion, and sharp discus
sion, but disposition manifested even
in this to reach uniformity if possible.
The sharp talk on readers, no doubt,
was caused by the unwise attempt of
certain parties to bring their own book
into favor by crying down another, and
the result was such as to leave the con-
venuion at sea on one book only. If the
result of that day was 'farce," we do
not understand the meaning of that word.
On the whole, 1t was meeting that
was creditable to the intelligence and
honesty of those who took part in it.
