TIE QUESTION OF MOUNTING INFANTRY
CAPTAINs.-A military question OF much in.
terest, not to say importance, is that which
has Of late years been much discussed in
France relative TO the mounting OF infantry
captains. In support OF the proposal to
make sill captains mounted officers. it is
urged that now that company numbers
25O men, NJ il does in the French aud in
nearly every continental army. and now that
mon tight in extended order, it is no longer
possl BILE for an officer on foot efficiently TO
supervise and direct the movements Of his
company. On the other hand, it is argued
ttist mounted captains would be more eX-
posed to the enemy's muskeiry fire. In
practice, however, this Is not found TO be
The case. In the German army infantry
captains are, it is well known, mounted.
During the late Franco. German war 1,521
German infantry officers were killed, and
as the proportion OF captains to other Off
GERS In the German army is as one to five, q
fifth OF the above number, or 304 OF the OF.
ficers killed should have been captains. AS
MISTER OF fact, however, only 2t9 cap
tsins were killed. In the same way, the
Germans lost PIT infantry officers at For.
bach. but only 81 were captains, while OF
POS French officers killed 81 were captains

The Press and Politics.

In our judgment, a newspaper man Is
entirely out Of his sphere when he goes
into politics. He necessarily gives away
his independence and sacrifices his
Judgment at times when it is mostly
needed. In short, he must brush every
boot that comes along, and take the toe
of one. too, if he is political aspirant
and doesn't sneeze as the snuff is given
to him. 1t is on this account that we
wish so much to see the press OF the
State free from the cespool. We never
see an editor a candidate for Office, (and
really, we speak with deference.) but
that we question seriously the workings
of his pen, and it is on this account we
so much deprecate such course. 1t
is for US to maintain free, independent
position, clean and clear away from fear
or favor. Our censorship should be at
all times just and impartial: 1t should
know no master; it should kiss no sweet
heart. 1t should weigh without any OF
the drachms or ounces of personal mo-
tives in the scales, and should, at all
times, be as ready to castigate as to
laud, or vice versa. We trust, there
fore, in the great battle to be fought
this year that our press men will keep
aloof from politics. Our calling is
high one. 1t is for US to shape, lead and
mould to great extent the opinions
of the public, and this duty upon our
part, while pleasant, should be equally
healthy, sound and incorruptible. In
order that it should be be SO, we must
go into no political charnel house, for if
we do, the results of the contact would
be impregnated through our whole sys-
tenn.

the New York Times or the Inter. Ocean;
but it has been reserved for the Orange
burg Times by an assertion as clear out
of truth as it is possible, to eclipse them
all. Great peace! Gary out of the
traces of true Democracy! Will the
chastc and elegant editor of the Orange
burg Times please inform US what it
meats ? Will it show US somewhat into
the light of its consistency? Will it
recur to the days when Gary stood as
the banuer-bearer of straightout Democ'
racv, fought for its principles 'ehen
others advocated compromise ? Think
a little, brother. See if you are not
moving little too rapidly. Surely, you
are budding and blossoming too fast fol
spring, if these are the shoots you are
propagatiDg. With tated breath We
await a revelation of Gary's recalcitra'
ton. Do answer quickly; for, unit
YOU do, we are persuaded that there ii
really something new under the SUI.
