RI a 6sutn not solid for Tilder

From the Charleston IS. c. Neacs,
Ap1l30.
The News and Courier has very posi-
tive opinions about Mr.. Tilden, and has
expressed them quite freely. We see
no reason to change these opinions, and
We will not change them without rea
son. To nominate Mr. Tilden, in our
Judi ment, is to give General Grant
a walk-over. Mr.. Tilden is tricky
and pusilanimous, and he is not friend
" to the Sc nth. What did he do, or his
friends, TO help South Carolina in the
desperate struggle in 1867 Nothing
In his own heart he was ready to
sacrifice South Carolina to public opin-
ion. When the vote proved to be close
he was in the market, according to
common report, for one OF the South
Carolina Electoral votes, but he denies
this now, and is entitled to no credit
for that prospective operation. There
is nothing in his whole career to make
him acceptable in the Southern States.
Bayard is stronger than TiIdsn in the
South, and quite as strong as Tilden in
both the East and West. Thurman is
stronger than Tilden in the West, and
is as strong in the South. To nominate
Tilden is to fall between two stools. In
every political calculation tho South is
put down as "solid" for the Democratic
candidate. This is true when tho can
didate commands both confidence and
respect. 1t is not safe to count on the
South giving solid vote to either
wooden image or rag-baby. Wash
ington is not the whole world. Southern
Democrats at the national capital tht
voters who made you what you are
have eyes, ears, and mouths of theil
own. They do not intend to be throw1
into the political scale, this side or the
other, as though they belonged to you
when, in truth, you belong to them.-
Take care that you do not find your.
selves as officers without any army, OF
as a flag with none to follow it.

ssPparls."

Rev. DR.. Nixon, pastor OF Centra!
Presbyterian church, delivered most
interesting lecture 0n the abovesubJett
before the young ladies of Wesleyan
college, on Saturday evening. The
exercises were prefaced by an instru.
mental solo by Miss Jones which was
most excellently rendered. Rev. Mr..
Williams introduced the speaker who
said th at he would first give some his
tery of pearls in the abstract and then
proceed by virtue of his calling to ap-
ply some of his remarks to our conduct
in daily life. Pearls he said we're form
ed in certain species Of oysters, found
principally in the waters Of warm cll'
mates. The reasons OF their production
were various but all owe their ORR
gination principally to irritation OF some
kind in the oyster itself. This was IN
striking contrast to the old idea OF
plipy that pearls were formed by the
oysters drinking dew. A grain of sand
coming between the skin OF the oyster
and its shell produces an irritation. IN
o,der TO protect itself the oyster throw
around this particle coating and
around that again a llmy secretion
which is the pearl itself.
Several efforts have been made to
produce artificial pearls and while they
have resulted in producing something
closely allied to the genuine yet they
have never attained the beauty and
perfection of the original. One meth
cd wa, to insert into the oysters
shell piece of wire as an irritant ano
leave it there until a coating was form
I'd but though this was successful in
measure yet the product was only
semi i-sphere, while the genuine Is
perfect sphere made in concentrlc cir
cles.
The principal fisheries for pearls ar
Ceylon, Borneo and the Persian duil
Pearls ad also been found near tn
Is,hmus of Panama and San Francisco
and one valued at $1,000 was discover
ed in New Jersey. He described graph
ically the perils of a divers life an
ended by hoping that all might mode
their lives from the pearl. Pure an
unassuming until events unsough
: should make it prominent and admir-
I'd, In itself an embodiment of tn
returning good for evil, as it IS give
4 to its prosecutor as reward tor III
: cruelty.
The Reverend gentleman is mos

, and was listened to with rapt attentio
. throughout. At its close vote

The Junior PfnafOres.

The best audience that ever met al
an afternoon matinee performance III
this city, graoed the Opera House on
Saturday afternoon to enjoy the enter
tainment of the Junior Pinafores in
their rendition of "The lass that loved
a sailor" an original comic opera in
two acts. Her Majesty Ship, "Pina-
fore," made beautiful appearance,
but not half SO pretty as the forty
youthful sailors that manned the ship,
and the other forty youthful female
cousins that were aboard. Their excel
lent singing and the novelty of thei'
performance brought forth round aftel
round Of applause. Little baby "Bellt
Goodman, "aged 3 years, was pet with
everybody. She performed her part
we'll and created considerable merri-
ment as she ran back and lodged be-
tween the long legs of the British red
coated soldier, who awkwardly stood
guard.
Belle was dressed in sailor suit and
acted the part of a boy. Sir Joseph's
cousin "Hebp," Lille Parsons, though
so very small, performed her part ad
mirably, and became quite enraged a.
Captain Corcoran for swearing when ht
found that Ralph Rackstraw had sue
ceeded in winning Josephine. Miss
Dolly Williams ably represented "Lit
tie Buttercup." The whole perfor~
nance was charming and We do no
wonder that every body, their uncles
their cousins and their aunts, are al
most wild to see the Juvenile Pinafor-

BOARD OF EDUCATION.
The Election on Saturday-ThG q
&pis itless ffair.

The contest on Saturday last was as
quiet and as devoid of excitement as
school elections generally are. In some
wards there was some effort at making
the matter a political issue, and with
some show of success. In the Third,
Sixth, Seventh aad Tenth there was no
opposition TO those named below. In
the Second there was considerable feel
ing, as was also the case in the Fifth.
In this ward, the candidates, Henry G.
Conrad and Jno. N. Lawson the former
Republican, the latter being rather lib
eral was accepted as the champion of
the Democrats in that ward.
In the Eighth Ward politics were laid
and sectionalism came to the front. On
the one side sustained by the Democra-
cy and supported by that elements SO
overwhelmingly dominant in that par
ty were DR.. Thomas Brown and Daniel
O'Connell Kenney, and on the other
Lewis T. Grubb and James II. Floyd.
The vote polled was very close. In the
Ninth Ward the opposition to DR..
Shortlidge came from the friends of
Martin Farrell and were Democrats OF
the malignant type. In the Tenth
Ward there was a movement made in
the morning by the friends of DR.. Read
J. Mckay, which placed in nomination
the Doctors name for the two years
term and for the one year term the
name of Joseph G. Taylor.
The Doctor hearing of this declined
emphatically and his colleague on the
ticket, Mr.. Taylor, taking no active
part, there was no opposition to the
Democratic nominees. The scattering
vote was Read J. Mckay, l; JOSEPH
G. Taylor,3; and Thomas Ford, l..
There was no disturbance of any kind
at any Of the polls, and aside from tht
quiet influences, political and sectiona
though there was not enough interes
taken in the whole city to raise enough
excitement to have run Republican
ward meeting. In the whole city Their
were 1893 votes cast. The following

WASHINGTON, February 12.-SEN-
ATE-The bill to regulate applications
for restoration to the active list in
the navy has passed.
The senate bill authorizing the es-
tablishment of naval station and
depot at Port Royal, s. c., was indef-
nitely postponed,
Mr.. Allison, from the committee on
Indian affairs, reported back the reso-
luton instructing the committee to
inquire into the recent escape of the
Cheyenne Indians from Fort Robinson
and their subsequent slaughter, to-
gether with communications from the
secretary of war and secretary of the
interior. He said the committee was
unable, from the paper, TO make any
intelligent report at this session.
They, however, believed it was a mat
ter OF Importance and should be in
quired into, and he therefore sub
mitted, on behalf of the com
mittee resolution providing for
select committee of senators
to examine into the circumstances at
tending the escape Of the Indians,
their subsequent slaughter, etc.
Agreed to. At the conclusion of the
morning business, Mr. Saunders called
up the bill recently introduced by him
to authorize the President temporarily
to transfer the custody, control and
management of certain Indians from
the interior to the war department.
He spoke at length in favor of cducat-
ing the Indians to enable them to be-
come citizens.

Although it was an afternoon recep-
ton, at which Prince Albert frocks
