The proposition to Sc, up subscvip-
ton for General Grant may he pleasing
to the general himself who never display
ed any gleat amount Of delicacy in the
matter of accepting gifts. But in view
Of the fact that he has been a president
OF the United States. it hardly seems
consistent with the dignity which attach
e. 10 that Office for al ex president to
accept charity. It is no reflection on the
people of the United States that an ex,
president is allowed to shift for himself
aud it surely is more honorable for him
to shift for himself than to live on sub
scriptions. If the presidency is not dis
graced by hav,ug ri splitter. tow
psth man or tt.s Z chosen to the posi-
ton. it certainly viii rot be dissraced by
having former ineumbents earn the:r
liv,ng honestly. This e.sayism IS going
too far and is becoming ridicrlous.

EDUCATIONAL.

The state superintendent has issued
circular on the grading system, which is
really one Of the best documents issued
from that Office in years. 1t discusses
resulting from course of study in mix
ed schools, and contains srggestions
which every teacher can act upon with
benefit to his school. There can be no
doubt that the want of uniformity in the
manner of conducting country schools. is
more injurious to their progress than the
frequent change of teachers. With q
course Of study as closely adhered to as
circumstances viii permit, the frequent
change of teachers will no longer be the
positive injury to progress that it is at
present. The mode of procedure will be
essentially the same in all schools and a
change in minor details will often be
agreeable and salutary. With change
of teachers there will be no time lost in
classification and the pupils will not End
it necessary TO accustom themselves to
methods Of procedure entirely new to
them.
The course of study advocated in the
circular is one adopted by the State
Teachers Association. The superinten-
dent discusses the obstacles TO be en-
countered in putting it in practice and
shows that these are more than overbal-
anced by the advantages accruing. Some
excellent hiuts are given in reference to
classification under the course, and what
is of value, whether the course be adopt
ed or not, daily programme for
country school is published. A daily
programme seems to be very small
adjunct to a country school. but besides
the system it iueulcates, it is an aid to
pupils by insuriug proper distribution
Of time on studies, aud is of incalculable
benefit to the teacher, as it requires him
TO give considerable thought TO classified
ton and to the Importance of certain
studies. The programme Ii the circular
contains soms excellent features and will
repay q full ana careful examination.

A SOLID SOUTH.

1t is difficult to say whether another
national election will be fought out and
won on the issue of fear of southern DOM
ination. We do not believe that it was
tariff, finance or any other economic
question which won for the republican
party. tt was the solid south and that
only. 1t is not easy to comprehend why
intelligent men should believe that be-
eause a section of the union is the strong
hold of the democratic party, it IS
menace to the integrity Of the union
The New England states can always be
counted upon with certainty by the re-
publican party, and that section has bad
as disloyal intentions as the south, and
made more threats of secession, but
lacked the courage of their convictions.
Some of these states carried the doctrine
Of the supremacy of state over national
authority SO far as TO successfully resist
the raising of troops by consumption for
the national government when engaged
in q foreign war; And the New England
states were always republican or Its pro-
totype, WING. Why is there not danger
of solid New England?
The south Lad reason to be solid. At
the close OF the war large percentage of
its population were debarred from hold
ing Office, in TACT all its leading and in
te!ligent men were. The negroes, ig
norant because of their being nothing
but property, improvident because of
their never being required to provide for
themselves and vicious because of the
natural tendency of the race, became by
law masters. They were not disqualified
from holding Office. Carpet Baggers
from the north came among these negroes
aud drew their whole attention to poll
ties. The carpet baggers were not men
who intended to cast their lot with the
southern people and help build up the
country. They were men who through
manipulation of the negro hoped to Sc
cure ofiicia! position and amass wealth
/ by bleeding the country and then desert
! it when their end vas secured. How
well they succeeded the heavy debts of
/ the southern states and the condition of
/ tie negro who was induced to pay more
attention to politics than to labor, will
/ testify. Could the Southern people I'M
der this systematic mode of robbery be
anything else than solid Gould they
be expected to applaud party which
aided in robbing them? They did not
give the ballot to the negro voluntarily.
They foresaw the evil which would re-
suit to the negro from making him a
politician instead of an industrious labor.
er, the injury which would be done the
country by making a. ignorant and vic
ious class dominant in political matters.
and the use which shrewd politicians
would mako of the ignorant and impress.
sible negro. But the extension OF SUI
frage to The negro was made condition
precedent TO the admission of The south
ern states to the union. Taking all These
facts into consideration, could the south
be anything else but solid? 1t was
necessary for self preservation. The
north woull be solid under similar cir.
cumstances.

The stalwarts have managed by a con
tnuous howl 10 induce General Walker
to again take the census Of South Caro-.
lima. When the census was taken by the
persons first appointed, every republican
insisted il was fsaululens. 1t could not
be otherwise. General Walker ordered
an investigation which proved the cor
rectness Of the census. But this did not
satisfy the stalwarts. It won.d give the
south too great a representation. Gen
eral Walker has again deferred to their
wishes aud another census is ordered for
South Carolina under the direction of
Vermont men.
