What is the Remedy!

From The New YORK tribune.
The shooting of postmaster, because he
did not allow the mails to be rited in the in
terests of Democracy and reform, occurred
quite naturally IN South Carolina, the state
which pleases to be represented in the sem
ate by Masss ere Butler and by Fun-at-the-
Fair Hampton. Mr.. Butler is the person
whose sole claim to the sutfrsges of his
fellow.citizens was that he had been more
responsible than anybody else for the infam-
GUS massacre of colored people at Hamburg.
Mr.. Hampton is the person who made the
most solemn pledges that, If left unrestrain-
ed by the presence of United States troops,
he would take care that all the laws
should be faithfully enforced, and all the
rights of all citizens faithfully respected
and defended. That he has never made any
attempt whatever to keep his pledges the
whole world knows. Their chief fruit was
the gigantic fraud perpetrated by Hamp-
toms friends and party through the system
attic use of tissue-ballots. A state that is SO
represen ted in the senate can hardly be ex-
pected to find local fficials who enforce
the laws with especial fidelity. Nor can 1t
be expected that public opinion IN such
state will lean rather to the defenders OF
ius ice and law than to the murderers OF
helpless colored people and the suffers Of
ballot-boxes. A tree is known by It's fruit,
end the latest fruit of South Carolina bar
barism is the presence of Hampton and
Butler in the senate.
The friends of Butler, the hero OF the
massacre, had been doing as they pleased
at the postoffice in Blackville. They had
robbed the mails openly, and without re.
sislance, in order to deprive Republicans OF

the end of 1878, or five years after the con-
traction was completed. Now, If this was the
contraction and it caused shrinkage OF values,
and the shrinkage caused the panic, why didn't
the values shrink and the panic come at the
time of the contraction. On the contrary, we
are told that these very years, '66, 67 and 6S,
were among the most prosperous years we ever
had According TO their own arguments, during
the very three years that two.thirds OF the

MEssRs. l1DIroRs: The year Of 1870,
with all of its hopes and fears and trials
experiments and efforts that usually attend
life, can now, in considerable degree, be
summed up and SEQ how much of each
have been realized.
The Stop crop" in this locality was com
paratiycly failure and tho sighing winds
OF December seem to bo singing requiem
to "departcd worth" The best farmers in
this section can safely say they have made
full crops of corn and from one.half to two.
thirds of cotton crop. Other crops, such
as potatoes, peas, pumpkins, turnips, &c
are rather short. Wheat and oats are very
luxuriant and the young plant seems to 10
taking advantage of tho warm fall and is
rapidly fortifying against the approach of
cold snaps.
Tho mercury reaches 100 these beautiful
sprlng-lkc days aud the frogs arc oroaking
away as norrily as if it was mid spring,
with ever and anon tho notes of some spring
bird that he's bccn lurcd into musical
mood by old Sol's genial rays. The recent
heavy rains in this section were very de-
struotive to lands, the small streams being
higher than at any timo since the war.
Tugaloo might, too, be said to havo been on
boom. 1t just lacked six inches of being
as high as the October boom, but quito
different in tho damages sustained, but
quite coincidence az regard, being the
same height.

MEssRs. Ebirons: Allow ME to correct aby
wrong impression which may be made by tho
Seoretary's report of the Teachers Union at lis
meeting tho first Saturday Of this month, IN
reference to Professor Boozer's essay. Ono
might suppose that the interesting part Of tho
essay was not tho essay itsolf, but the remarks
made upon it. This certainly was not tho case.
Every ono that heard it regarded it as per-
tormanco of great merit, showing patient
research, we'll defined viows and ripe scholar
ship. Again one might auppose that the reso-
luton to mako Prof. Booxer's essay and subse-
quent speeches and essays before tho Union tho
special property of tho Union was lost, because
tho cssay itsclf was not highly esteemed by
those who heard it. have no doubt tho primo
object Of tho mover Of this resolution was 10
secure tho essay to tho Union and its worth sug-
gested to him 10 mako his resolution so broad as
to cover any othor performance before tho Union
that might bo thought Of sufficient merit to be
used in promoting tho ends designed to be ac-
complished by the Union. Tile future outlook
in reference TO other speeches and essays caused
tho resolution to be rejected, and not The want
of merit in Prof. Boozer's essay. Prof. Booser
certainly acquitted himself we'll and his essay
is too good to be Ibid on tho shelf or placed in
tho waste basket, and, IL is hoped, at no distant
day 1t may bo mado available to the public
through tho columns of your valuable paper.
Our worthy Secretary had no intention of doing
wrong to Prof. Boozcr in his report; but ho is a
man heavily taxed by tho labors of largo
school and must necessarily wrio such accounts
very hurricdly. This article is written not to
find fault with tho Sccrctary's report, but 10
prevent wrong Impression in respect to Prof
Boozcr. s.
