Speaking of Robeson, that famous
old manipulation of naval affairs and
scutter of ships has been good deal
set hack BY bis failure to get things
as he wanted them 10 the matter of
appropriations this year. This Con-
grcss is extravagaut enough and fool.
ish enough iu all conscience, but it
had to spew out Robesou's programme,
aud the old salt is very much crushed.
Some facts have lately been revealed
throwing strong light upon Robesou's
administration Of the Navy Depart
ment during the eight years be was at
its head. He expended over Sl49,-
100000 during that time, and left
the navy in a worse condition and
with fewer vessels than when he took
charge of it. Nearly million and a
half Of this amount WAS speut for
repairs upon single vessel, and yet
the old hulk is almost worthless as g
war vessel to-day. 1t would be fine
thing to let Robeson have baud in a
scheme to spend s3O,C0O,0OO uore

Don't Split the County
Lexington Dispatch.

We hear that mapy signat4res to a
petition to cpt off ths Fork for the
formation of a new county, vith por.
tioDs of NeRberry and Fairfield, were
placed thereon through 3 mistaken
idea that taxation would be reduced
by such 8 result. From what We can
hear We are led to believe that the
prime movers in the matter are Office.
seekers who would have no chance Of
filling sny position as long as their
election is subject to the approval Of
the voters of the county as it now
stands, and it would seem to US to be
the part of wisdom with those whose
signatures haVe been given under a
false Impression to hare their games
stricken off at once. Counter Pc
tirions are now being circulated and
are receiving the signatures of the
most substantial citizens of the Fork.
This is as it should be. We cannot
think that the most prominent men
of that section would wish to see the
county split up when no advantage is
to be obtained thereby. Petitions
against the separation are also in cir
c9lation here, and will be in the
other parts Of the county in a few
days. Outside of the Pork the county
il unanimously against the split, and
ne look to see the move an uttR
failure.

I Wonder.

[ wonder if the people will think
that "a Farmer" apd Hard Tack"
are ore and the same man. They
are not.
l wonder if our Auditor will scruti-
nize the returns made to him this year
with that care which will require him
who OWLS thousands to pay as much
taxes on one hundred dollars worth
of his property as be who owns but
one hundred dollars worth. If he
does. We say, support him again and
if not, ''stand him aside"
1 wonder if our County Democratic
leaders will persist in foistiDg upon
their subjects men for Office that the
people do not want. We do hope they
will desiss from such practices.
I wonder how local editors in remote
Counties can tell what man in our
County will be the choice Of the peo-
pie next fall,
! wonder If about three fourths OF
our people would not be glad to see a
full ticket put forward when the cam.
paign opens without lawyer on it.
I wonder if the people will be ex-
pected to shut their eyes, hold their
nose, ard swallow whatever dose is
offered, ''askiug no questions for con.
science sake" We hope that that
mistake will not be made.
I Wonder if an Office requiring about
two months work at salary Of five
hundred dollars don't pay better than
sitting on jury at ddllar aud hall
day, and discouating that at ten pei
! cent. for cash. HARD TACK.

s'OuP Efficient" -

Is it not the rule that public Off
GERS are efficient? Hso, 7hat sense
is there in a newspapers constantly
referring to them ss tour efficient
Treasurer" ''our efficient Probate
Judge" or Supervisor, &C.? It
may be intended only as a compi.
ment; but it looks so much like
boot-licking that it would better be
avoided. All officers are presumed
to be efficient until the contrary is
shown. They do not need a certif
cate OF character, and would, no
doubt, prefer not to have it thrust
upon them in so public manner.

continuation OF Last Weeks
Columbia Letter.--The
Penitenti8ry.

The HERALD was 30 crowded last
week that a portion of the Colum-
bis letter had to be left over.
4 visit to the Penitentiary show
ed that institution moving along
smoothly. The most interesting
thing within the walls is Nh. A. G.
Dibert's boot and shoe factory.
ae has one hundred hands at work,
and all move with the precision of
clock work. 1t is an interesting
sight to watch the process Of max,
ing shoes from the cutting out OF the
leather clear through to putting on
the finishing touches. In this pro-
cess they pass through a number OF
hands, each one having his special
work to do. With the exception OF
hand.sewed boots and shoes, every
thing is done by machinery, the
motive power being water from the
Canal.
A new industry is on foot in the
Penitentiary. MIR. J. W. L. Arthur,
formerly OF Chappell's, in this Coun'
ty, backed up by New York and
Charleston capitalists, will start a
barrel factory in the course OF a
month. About ten thousand dol
lars worth of machinery has been
ordered, and a large quantity OF
white oak and other material has
already been laid in. The barrels
are to be made principally for tur-
pentine, but will do for spirits Of
all kinds. He will also manufacture
spokes. He pays the same for con-
victs as Mr.. Dibert does-6fty cents
per day-and is allowed any mum
Der between twenty-five and oIs
hundred.
Col. Lipscomb, Superintendent,
is building 8 stockade on the c. &
G. R. R., five miles above Colnm'
bis, where he will begin in few
days to make a million and a hall
of bricks, to be used in completing
the Penitentiary wall and building
new hospital.
The Penitentiary garden is a fine
sight. We never sew finer vegeta'
bles anywhere-and such a quantl-
ty and variety Of them. The gar,
dening is done by old and broken
down conyicts, who are not able to
do harder work. This garden fur
nishes an abundance of vegetables
for the convicts.
The convicts look hale and hearty.
While they are made to work hard,
they are treated humanely, and thus
kept in a condition to do good work
and be profitable to the State.
The Penitentiary, in ell it's de
partments, is kept perfectly clean
and neat, and as consequence
there is very little sickness among
the inmates.

I Also Wonder.

wonder why the Farmer" don't
pay his account contracted with the
"merchant Of Nevberry" for supplies
furnished during the summer to make
bis crop. Probably it is because the
SAID Farmer" sells that same crop in
"another market" and thus avoids
paying his Legitimate debts. Evidence
Of "credis" to Farmer" see Liens in
Clerks ufice for s.. AS the
people" of Newberry generally fur.
pish the cora and hay for the "stock"
of the Farmer" the suppositiou is
that the said "Farmer" will hustle
around and By some means get up a
sufficient supply Of water to do said
"stock." (Something like the girl
that told her father that she would
marry if she had to live on "bread
and water ;" when the fellow she
vas about to marry told her call right,
you furnish the bread and I will hustle
around and try to get ny the Water.")
Can't the "Farmer" do likewise as to
his ''stock ?"
I don't suppose any one runs fol
Office in proportion to the amount oi
work the farmers give them to do
aud ! am not surprised the lawyer
charging two thirds Of tie AMOUNT
collected, as they are generally able tc
collect so little, and besides it is thei,
Irregular business"
I fear the farmers will never learn
to raise their supplies at home so long
as they can get them from the mer'
chant on credit, and then probably
1ell their crops elseWh:re.
/ fully wonder 9th yop as to off,
GERS Of trDst j bpt while it is probably
true that all merchants and all lawyers
are not honest men, Jet, comparing
the number of those who have held
such Offices with the number Of de-
faulters to Cor who owe) the merchants.
I fear it would be found equally true
that all farmers are not honest ner
either.

The Wanton Decoration Of tho Hebrew Csn-

Special Dispatch to the News and Courier.
COLUMBIA, May 22.-Tbe most
outrageous act Of vandalism ever
committed 10 this State has just been
discovered in the Hebrew cemetery in
this city. When the gate of the
cemetery was opened by the sexton
this Afternoon for the purpose of max
ing new grave be found that large
number of headstones aud monuu eots
had been overturned and broken.
Twenty graves within the enclosure
have been desecrated in this manner,
and the actual money loss will amount
to perhaps FIVE hundred dollars.
X X
In several instances only the foot
stones have been pulled up aod
broken 10 pieces, but by far the larger
number Of the monuments have been
toppled over and greatly damaged
Several of the large slab monuments
have been shattered into fragments.
A number of them are broken off
where the lemons enter the base
stones; and the costly monument Of
Mrs. Rebeccs G. Solomon, which con.
sisted of a broken shaft resting upon
die-block of 6ns white marble, has
been wreucbed from its fastening and
thrown into the dirt. Other stones
have simply been overturned and can
be re erected at little trouble and ex-
pense, but the whole scene presents a
sAcrilegious spectacle never before
witnessed in this community.
A number of people visited the
cemetery this evening to look at the
york Of desecratiop, and the Israel.
itish population hss the fqll sympathy
of the entire Ghristian community,
who a:e borrifed at such a deed. In
Russia they kill the Jews, but in Col
umbis their dead are dishouored.

tectiye and hunt the fends down.

Not q Good Time for Extrava-
SaMce.

Not 5000 AXEnG 1Oc EXGraV8-
Sance.
Judge Bond decided last week in
the y. S. Court in Charleston that
the Blue Ridge R. R. bonds are
valid claims agsinst the State; that
they are receivable for taxes, and
that the State should provide for
their payment The amount of the
bonds is S1,soo,ooO. This decision
virtually adds nearly Two millions
to the State debt. The case will
be appealed to the Q. S. Supreme
Court.
There is a strong probability that
holders of that class of bonds which
were declared invalid by the State
Supreme Court will bring suit upon
their bonds in the q. S. Court.
Only those who were parties to the
suit in the State Court are bound
by that decision :; and these repre-
sent a small portion of the bonds.
So that an additional million may
be saddled on the State here.
It is evidently not a good time
to be making eztravasant sppro.
pristions. The $4,000 appropria.
ted for the Military Academy and
the s12,5o0 for the University, or
Agricultural College, and the thous-
ands more expected to keep them
going, would do far more good if
used in paying of the public debt
and lessening she burden OF taxa
ton.

AbouS Colleges and Schools
Their SupporG-And Some
Suggestions.

We made g few remarks last week
sbout the S. G. University-so
called. It is not a University: 1t
is a boys school. It might, by 8
stretch of courtesy. be called 8 Col
lege. Can anybody imagine what
use this State has for such an insa-
tusion There are already i've
colleges in the State; enough to
educate, without any expense to
the State, all the young men. There
was no earthly need for another.
There might be some sense IL es-
tablishing real University, where
young men who had gone through
college could go to pursue some
specially; provided the States
finances we're in such condition
as to justify it They are not IN
such condition now, and will not
be for years to come. We hope
the taxpayers of the State VIII
speak out on this subject, and will
demand that this thing shall stop !;
and that they will send men to the
Legislature who will stop this fool
ish eztravsgance and waste OF pub
lie money. All that the State
should undertake now is to give
the children of the State common
school education. The two mills
tax and the poll tax, which are ap-
propristed to this purpose, are
abundantly sufficient for this, ii
properly used. And this raises the
inquiry, Are these funds properly
used? We answer, they are not
They are used, as we have said often
before, more for the benefit OF
teachers than children. They are
scattered about here and there 50
promiscuously and so utterly with
out system that they are, in great
part, wasted. They are mixed up
With private funds IN ineztricable
confusion. A teacher makes his
patrons pay tuition, and supple
ments what he gets from them with
8 slice from the free school fund.
The Counties and Towns are dotted
over thick with free schools; fre
quently very close together: We
need system. We need that the
free schools shall be such in fact as
well as in name. The three great
needs are:
/. Public schools and private
schools should be kept entirely
separate.
2. There should be no more free
schools than are absolutely neces-
sary to give all the children an
opportunity to attend.
8. Teachers should be selected
solely on account of their compe-
tency and fitness.
Should these three rules be
strictly observed the public school
teachers can be paid good salaries,
and good teachers can be secured.
