10 cannot be denied that mathematics
train the mind to strict habits of reas-
Oning, and to habits Of close and sus-
tanned attention. But these are the
synthetical, not the analytical mathe-
MATES.
There is also great objection To the
mode Of teaching languages. To learn
a language is interesting and OF practi-
cal utility as taught eolloquially bat
to learn the grammar is very different.
A German writer says: Elbow fortunate
the Romans were that they had not to
learn the Latin grammar, because they
would not have had time TO conquer
the world. And it is a well known
fact that many boys, after spending
several years i'm efforts To master Latin.
are unable to write correctly their own
language. The necessity Of studying
i'm order to become a critical English
scholar, is now exploded. We know
that critical scholars in our language
can be made without resort To Latin.
Then, why waste time to learn a dead
language, when there are many more
important studies to demand the at
tention of studies preparatory to their
entrance ON the duties of lifes
Life is too short to become master Of
all sciences, arts and literature. Then,

determining their course OF study Dis

Education is not the end, but merely
the means of becoming intelligent and

New Phos, hatos.

Since the first discovery Of the
phosphate beds Of Charleston, Collie
ton and Beaufort, no further deposits
have been reported, but efforts have
been made mainly to develop and
utilize those that have already been
discovered. A few weeks ago, how
ever, similar beds were found in the
upper edge Of Darlington along the
course Of Ly nch's Geek, a sample of
which wac sont to the State Agricul.
tural Commissioners for analysis. The
deposit seems to hc ineXhaustible and
composed of oyster shells and other
phosphate rocks closely resembling
the Charleston beds. If this bed
proves To be as represented and tile
specimens sent of the expected value,
the Darlington shell and phosphate
deposits will be another source of
wealth TO the State. There is doul,'-
less us much hidden wealth in the
lower portion Of our state in the
shape Of rock deposits as there is in
the upper poltion in mineral deposits.
Besides the phosphates already men
toned, there is in our own county q
deposit Of buLislonc as valuable for
milling purpose rs the famous Pi ench
buhrstonc. All that is needed TO dc.
velop and utilize this source of wealth
is u proper expenditure Of effort and
capital, which will doubtless be done
in the near future when the prosperi-
ty Of our people is little advanced.

Terrorism.

Since the unfortunate killing of
Col. Shannon by Col. Cash in Dar-
linston County, the practice of duel.
ing has been the subject of discussion
by nine-tenths of tho cople of the
State, and the decision has been ex.
pressed through the papers in no mis-.
taxable or equivocal terms. BY the
verdict OF The public ducling has been
adjudgcd crime of equal Nervousness
with murder, and persons overtaken
i'll its comnittal ought to he tried and
punished rs The law in such cases di-
rects. With equal posi,iveness the
issue has been made whether ssthe
Code or the Statute law is the higher
power by which to deal with such
crimes as against the dignity of the
State and the safety of her citizens.
Notwithstanding this direct express
sion of public opinion Col. Cash is ar.
rested by the Sheriff Of Chesterfield
County after his own surrender and
allowed the privileges of homo under
the charge OF special deputy. Whilst
III this free duIance he threatens the
editor Of the Carolina Sum with the
horse whip, goes 10 Chcraw and Sc
cures the merely nominal bail of three
thousand dollars from Judge McIver
on writ of huJcaS corpus, his son
attacks the editor, with abusive
language pistol in I,aud and, after the
intervention Of friends who put the
editor out of reach, rctires in colnpa-
ny with the Sheriff. All this is done
in Il town where q Judge Of the State
Supreme Court and The circuit Solicit
tor are present, and under the eye of
the Sheriff Of The county and town
council-any one Of whom had the

rs Il crime, with all its accompanying
circumstances, is horrible enough,
but the terrorism on the part Of the
violatCrs of the law which seeks Lo

bccility that charactcrizes the conduct

the face OF manifest duty, are
alarming, humiliating and disgraccful
beyond measure and should be con-

the Republican party. The letter
bears the marks of careful study and
All cvidci.l desire to meet the issues
The public demanded without giving
offence TO any of the political Gle
mcnts from which lie might draw sup
port. This fear constitutes the radi.
cal error Of the writer which betrayed
him into Il LamrncsS that has disap.
pointed Ilirhds and strengthened op-
poncnts. The letter, instead Of being
hoid and aggressive, is timiu md de.
lrhsi,r, instead Of meeting The public
issues spuarrly il touches them cauli-
ousiy, and Instead Of expressing Il
broad craftsmanship it seeks 10 mag
niIy SECTIONAL differences and pan,lcr
to race pl"jndiccs by lifting The elec-
ton laws and so.callCu Southern
frauds prominently before the public.
1t was expected thai the Republican
canHidatc would express himself very
specifically upon such questions as
the tariff and the civil service but he
chooses TO be extremely general and
vague. On similar occasions IT was
sought to rise above party, and to
stand upon such q political plane be-

would make the campaign successful !;
but Mr.. Gal field falls TO the level Of
factions and repeats his stale party
doctrines, without furnishing the
slightest inspiration for his followers
The slorics of the past and the issues
of the present are elements OF this let
ter, but there arc no advanced ideas,
no bold looking into the future, no
prophetic word for the thousands who
look for u political revelation, such
rs the character of the Chicago Con-
vcntion and the reputation Of the Re.
publican party demand. The nation
is not in q very prosperous condition,
financially, rcligiously or politically
and the people look for something
better, but Mr.. Garfield does not
seem to furnish it or indicate any
means Of securing ii. Indeed the
letter, rs state paper, falls below
the standard even Of Republican adj
mInistrations, and might have re-
maincd unwrtten so far as the credit
it docs the writer or his party. 1t
in neither radical, conservative orin-
dependent, it helps nobody and hurts
nobody, it expresses nothing and is
nothing, and on these accounts it is q
terrible disappointment.
