WASH. .NGToN, D. G.,
June - 1881.

June -. 1901.
Secretary Window has stopped the
investigation in his Department, abol-
ished the Office which was being in
quired into, sent one of the implicated
persons to Europe on an official mis-
sion, and pocketed the report of the
investigating Committee. | submit
that, after evidence was made public
which would have driven several Treas
ury officials out of any private busi.
ness house, this course of the Secre-
tary is iudefeusiblc. Ii the published
evidence was true, it was not fair to
make one of the guilty officials scape
coat for all. And if it Was true, the
report should be made public as vim
dieation of ALL This as a matter of
Justice between the alleged culprits.
The rights Of the public are equally
clear, and are of much greater impor-
tance. The Secretary should publish
the report because it is not his. but
the public's. 1t is now understood
there will be no more Treasury inves-
LEGATIONS.
The other investigation-the inter
minable star route swindle-put ou
new face yesterday. The authorities
will not put the papers before the
Grand Jury until September. Wheth-
er this means that the alleged offend
ers are to be condoncd, after the man.
per of the Treasury robbers mentioned
above, or that there is not such mine
of fraud as was prophesied, mono but
the Attorney General, aud Postmaster
General know. In either event, this
shutting down of active investigation
in the only two Departments in which
investigations have been commenced,
is sufficient, and will cause comment
everywhere.
The new Commissioner of Pensions,
Col. w. W. Dudley, of Indiana, sends
word on in advance of his coming, or
is reported to have sent it, that he
will cause the removal of every Demo.
crat in his Bureau. This would be
ap absurd violation of what is known
as Civil Service reform, for all these
Democrats-there are about fifty of
them-Were selected after what is
known as competitive examination,
that is, among the persons examined
for places in the Bureau, during the
term of Mr.. Hayes, it was found that
each Of these fifty Democrats was of
higher ability than the other persons
examined with them. TO turn them
out now, when experience has demon
strated and increased their efficiency,
and put in their places men who have
no claim for Office except Republican,
ism, would, as I said, be absurd. That
it would be unjust, goes without say
ing. hope for better things Of the
gallant and crippled soldier, who will,
after July lst, pass upon the claims Of
both Democrats and Republicans who
served their country with him.
On Monday last the Washington
monument was exactly 200 feet in
height, thirty feet having been added
to it during this season. Before cold
weather sets in it is thought 40 feet
more will be added. Major Twining,
publishes a statement, that, owing to
the small size of the stones used, the
monument will not last more than five
or six hundred years. DEM.

Col. Cash Acquitted.

The second trial Of Col. E. B. c..
Cash, Of Chesterfield County, for
the killing of Col. Wm. Shannon,
of Camden, in a duel the 5th of
July, 1880, came off at Darlington
last week. The charge was muir.
der. The testimony for the State
was about the same as on the pre-
v;ous trial when the jury failed to
agree. In the trial last week Col.
Cash went on the stand and gave a
full statement of the duel, it's causes
and attendant circumstances. The
State was represented by Solicitor
Dargan, the defense by Col. R. c..
Watts, of Laurens, and Gen. Prince,
of Cheraw. The jury, after a short
consultation, brought in a verdict
OF not guilty.
In view of the fact that duels had
heretofore been fought in South
Carolina without prosecution and
even without interference, the &C.
quittal Of Col. Cash will give gene
raj satisfaction. It was hardly
right that he should be made a
scapegoat; but his prosecution,
and the new law on dueling which
has been passed since the Cash
Shannon duel was fought, are q
fair and timely warning, and he
who engages in a duel after this
runs 8 very considerable risk.

"THE SUMTER ADVANCE. Z"

This title has been selected as more ap-
propriate for the occasion and circumstan-
tion and community than any other that
might be given it, for several unmistakable
and paramount reasons, viz:
1st The Terms Of the paper will be $1.50
per year in advance, which is half Q. Dollar
Less than any paper now published in Sum.

2nd. 1t will advance the private and pub.
lie interests Of its patrons, because in so do
ing it Is the more sure of advancing the in
terests Of its proprietors.
Sd. 1t will be issued on Mondays, clearly
in advance of all the others published in
this section; and
9Th. 1t will be in advance in many re-
spects, saving those of subscription and ad.
vertising charges, which, we must confess,
are far in advance Of ours.

WHAT Is MYTHOLOGY?

On one hand, philoogy has shown
that myth Is al Attempt TO explain
some natural phrn0meGon by endow-
ing with human feelings and capaol.
ties the senseless factors IN tne phe~
nomenen, az wien the ancient in
doc explained thunderstorm as the
shifting OF Vritra by the unerring
shafts of Indra. On the other hand,
brief survey of barbsrio Supersti-
tions has shown how uncultured
man, by the best use he could make
OF his rude common sense, has invsri
ably come to regard all objects as en-
deWed with souls, and all nature
as peopied with suprs-human entities
shaped after the general pattern of
humanity. Thus is suggested
natural mode of genesis for the per-
soni6cations of which mythology lie
made up. As the MosIem camei-dri-
yer regards the deadly simeon as q
malignant demon, 90 We need not
wonder that the Greeks in prehistoric
times sbould have personifed the
wind as Hermes, or the sun as SD
unerrlng archer, or an unWearying
traveller, or an inVincible hero. When
we know that some people believe
pols and kettles to have souls that
live hereafter, there is not much diff
hculty In understanding how other
people may have deified the blue sky
as tbs sire of gods and men. We see,
moreover, that the personiiying stor-
les are not parallels or allesories, but
sober explanations of natural pheno-
mena. Where We have recourse to
some elaborate scientific theorem,
the ancient was content With telling
myth. It is only after ages of phil
osophizing that it begins to seem
plausible TO regard the clouds as
masses Of watery vapor suspended in
the atmosphere, or the moon as q
great planetary body covered with
extinct volcanoes. In primeval times
it was much simpler to call the cloud
rock, or huge bird, or a Centaur,
and to burn incense to the moon as
the chaste goddess Artemis OF the sill
YER bow. Thus the study of myshol-
URy, when pursued on the wide scale
indicated in the prcsen. paper, throws
light OF no uncertain character on
the thoughts and mental habits OF
primitive men, as well az on countless
superstitious beliefs and customs
which have survived in relatively
high stages of culture. And perhaps
there is no better evidence of the pro-
foundly philosophio character of cen
temporary scholarship than the pains
which it is taking to investigate me-
shodicslly the legands and sayings
which formerly were either thought
unworthy of serious study, or we're
treated as subjects for idle and srbi-
trary spsculation.-John Flake. in
