w. w. Goldsnith's safe was robbed on the
night of December q; that he soon afterward
offered q reward Of $1,000 for the thief; that
Mr.. Goldsmith subsequently made nm assign
mcnt OF his goods for the benefit Of his credi-

requested Mr.. Goldsmith to deposit with some
reliable firm this amount, because he thought
the robbed man could not command SO much
money: the maSaaJDsar"''ts ,s@"~ nr~r

ItiSno doubt all liberal, generous. and fair,
but the manner In which the circumstances
are told xcites our sympathy for the unlucky
man, who has been compelled to mako an as

An AmictiOn.

In the Chri,tin, Union W notice that THE
Future of the Negro in tho South" IS being
discussed by Howell Cobb, of Athens. Ga. We
had in years past thought that we might rea-
sonably hope Tor 4 rest on this subject, atsome
future time. but 1t seems that no sucl good
luck is in store for us. II tho gentleman from
Georgia would say only ono thing that had
not been already said about ten million times
in the last fifteen years, VIC might bear with
1t, but for q prominent citizen at this late day
to take up the subject after every Idiot, In both
the North and the South, had discussed 1t
until 1t was thrcadbare, is more than
anybody, except u Christian editor, could toll
crate. That We may be relieved Of a further
infiction OF Il discussion Of this subject, we
shall implore the prayers In our behalf Of all
religious and God-fearins men for the next
thirty days. 1.-THE e1ectunl fervent prayer of
u righteous man availeth much" and conse-
qucntly wes shall yet renew our hopefor a final
delivcrance from this evil.
Then we may be able to study out the pro-
b!cm of what is TO become Of the white peo-
pie II they don't go to work and let the negro
alone: The negro IL ut work, while impracti.
cable white men arc distracting our attention
from that more important subject, the future
Of the white man In the South"

Putting on Airs.

For our " part we DO not know why tho
religious edi; ors are so vindictive against Sara
B%ernhurdt, anu exercise SO little OF the Chris.
tian grace when speaking Of the patronage
that the public have bestowed on that actress.
Tho cooks for some Of these pious people, and
the nurses OF their Gown children, make no
prc:enslon to the possession OF the moral
Quality, Of which they say the great actor IL
deficient, II the one is too vile to appear be.
fore M audience In public, 1t would seem that
those whom we take Into the privacy OF our
own household, to watch over ana care iorour
innocent little children, should MT be less
pure than the standard which we would setrp
for q public actress. or course we know very
lite OF tho purity Of "Iomestici" in the
North, but FIR u majority Of tho Southern
men TO put on airs about going to hear
sara Bernhard is nothing mere Eor less than
inconsis,cncy-not to put 1t In stronger an
euagc. Christian people should look we'll 10
their own acts before c~ondcnninS others Tor
less oTenses against the moral law h they
themselves commit. We think the practice
OF c)nfding our pure babes and innocent
children to the care OF impure women a
much more questionable act than hat OF
people going to an opera or theatcr
10 see and hear Sara %Rernhardt. By-the-way,
docs 1t not seem . little strange that these III
consistently pur people have such n nack for
fcrrcting ont and publishing the defects or
persons agains: whom they have taken q dis
likce
In this connection, We would have 1t under
stood that we make no excuse for the sins OF
Sara Bernhard. We think 1t right that she
should be excluded from society" but we DO
not think 1t commendabie for every "reli-
gious" man in the whole country to abuse her
and the people h go to see and hear her.
It will be remembered that our Saviour, on
one occasion rebuked some pious gentlemen
who were accusing a woman, very much ms
they are now accusing Sara. while they are,
by implication, casting ~insinuations against
those who have the cultivation to appreciate
her talents, and the independence TO so to
hear her.

The Labor Question Of South Carolina

Senator Butler Is reported by the Washing
ton correspondent OF the NeU York Herald US
saying thai he believes that both the negroes
now In the South and the Soutlicr- whites
will be the better for the migration Of Il large
proportion Of the blacks to otherStates. "rhe
"blucks are too numerous with us to do well.
"If South Carolina had but half as many as
''she hos she would be II more prosperous and
led YOU be far better of, and the places OF
"those who had left us would be quickly sup
piled with white Immigrants to tn enrich,
"ment of the Estate" This Is reported to be
Senator Butler s view.
We know that IT. Is the common opinion that
there is more colored labor than III needed In
South Carolina. INT the number of colored
voters Il, larger than Is good for us. But COM
plants reach us that labor is scarce In some
parts of the state, and we are not sure, by nny
means, that while people will flow mas fast
as the colored people can flow out.
Cheap labor as n rule Is inefficient: 1t is the
old story of poor pay. poor prrach.' White
inhorers Will not be satisfied with the wages,
shelter and rations given to the cDlored pco-
the equals of their employers n cannot be
treated as free negroes."
We shall be glad II our country correspond
ents will give us what Information they have
on these points: |. Is the supply Of labor, ex-
~ccssive, sufficient or insufficient; and why?
2. Are wages rising9 3. Arc employers desir-
Gus of getting white lnborers To replace the
negroes; and are they prepared forth changes
that are ln~ulSpenshole II Wnlte liDOTeTs are "
be obtained and kept? T.. Is not the colored
man. having regard TO the habits md trimming
OF tile whites rs we'll ny to his own peculiari-
tics, the most manageable and efficient agri-
cultural laborer within reach? 5. VIII not
whit observation-disclosures here to work for them
selves and not for others, and, by hiring nc
groes, rather Increase the demnnd for colorcd
labor than diminish It?
Intelligent to these questions, with
out waste OF words, will give the public q bet
ter understanding Of the conditions OF the Ia.
bcr problem than can be had In any other
way that Is open to Us ut this time.

Political Arrests.

The Hampton Guardian in speaking Of the
arrests In that county for alleged violations
Of the election laws. among other thing.
says:
Every mar arrested Is a Democrat. and the
Democratic party must stand squurely ut

The Killing Of Railroad Employees.

There is scarcely n week in the year that we
do not read of the crushing to death OF Rail
road employees. This 1t seems to us occurs
from the improper construction Of the "buf
fers'' or bumpers" or "couplings" OF the cars.
In our opinion Congress should pass a law re.
quirins that such arrangements be made for
the coupling Of cars as will not endanger the
life OF the employee rs ut present. Under the
present arrangement II seems little less than
p~rcmeditated murder to employ q man to UNI
dertake SO dangerous Il Job as the coupling Of
carr.

one had better read and obey IL. There is no
necessity in a civilized, law-abidIng country
for q man to go out armed like q highway

or encouragement to zone smith, who processes

From the last issue Of the Neuber,y Herald
we are led to believe that they intend to en-
force in that county the Law against carrying
law went INTO effect, three persons were ar
rested for violation OF its provisions. We are
glad to SEQ this evidence of n disposition to
enforce a good law. The Herald says:
4 good start has been made in this county

ing concealed deadly Weapons 1t Is u good
forced, and IL vi0lators are punished pretty sc.
verely, the evil habit OF carrying pistols will
soon cease, and then there will be fewer homi-
cides. But unless the law is to be enforced
OH the statute books: for itwould then put the
man who desires to obey the law ut the mercy
Of him who disregards 1t. There are many
who mako 1t a point to obey the law from con-
Seicntious m~otives-because 1t Is the law {;
while there are others who will not obey 1t
unless compelled to do so. Forthc latter class
