EFFECT OF DEMOCRATIC RULE.

The effect of the past five months of DEM
ocratic rule upon the South is summed up
by a prominent Southern politician as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Cleveland's attitude toward the South
has not been such as to please a very large
element of the Southern Democracy, but it
has been such as will best advance the in
terests of that section and finally strengthen
the party throughout the country. The
party workers who were waiting to sWoop
down upon the offices and get as much as
they could in the scramble, are disappoint-
ed and out of humor.. In some cases, re-
markably that of Louisiana, the minority
faction of the party has been recognized to
the utter exclusion of the great body of the
practical politicians who have been ped
ding ballots at the polls. But the offices, it
is said, have gone as general thing to men
against whom no objection could be urged,
and the hand of the Administration has
been extended to strengthen the conserva-
tive Democrats who are seeking to purify
politics throughout the South. In most
cases the local Federal offices have been
turned over to the Democrats, but not to the
''craftsmen," to be used as political tools.
The result has been to give the people IN
that section confidence in the Administra-
tion. This is particularly the case with the
colored people, who find, instead OF the
bulldozers they expected, that the men they
respect most are being put in power.

EnE HAChS VVs
Copnmenting upon the recent rupture in
fhe Citadel Academy, the Charleston Neps
and Courier closes a timely editorial with
the following suggestions which will COM
mend themselves to the people of the State
as being eminently wise and proper:
A little iconoclasm is now in order in South
Carolina. It is time to select for public
offices the men who are absolutely fit for
those places, and to disregard absolutely the
notion that rank in the Confederate army, or
eminence at the Bar, or long pedigree (of a
hundred years or thereabOuts) is an all suffl-
cient qualification for any post Of honor or
trust. Who are the best men for the places to
be filled? 1t matters not a jot whether they
spell their name one way or another; or
whether their name has flavor of France
or of England; or whether they have, or
have not, great-grandfather who signed
the Declaration of Independence, or who
would have signed it if he had had the opporI-
tunity. The breaking, we fancy, is
about to begin. We would not allow it to
take the shape which was taken in Europe,
where the noses of the images seemed to be
singled out for especial opprobrium and
attack. We would leave in peace the pro
bosces as we'll as the toes of these good old
images. But give US the best men for the
places, and the best man for every place.
A good point to start at is right here IN the
South Carolina Military Academy.

TEACHERS, ASSOCIATION.

The York County Teachers Association,
which was organized at the close of the
County Normal School, will hold its first
meeting at Yorkville, in the Female College,
Saturday, September 5th. It is hoped that
all who have enrolled themselves as men,
bers, and, in fact, every teacher in the coun-
ty who can, will be present.
in the Constitution, is the improvement of
it's members in teaching and the advance
ment of the cause of education. That there
is great room for improvement, all must ad-
nit; for no matter what may be his schol-
arship, how clear his judgment, or how ripe
his experience, the best teacher in the land
must feel and acknowledge that his methods
are imperfect, his teaching far short of what
it ought to be, that he needs more light,
and, above all, that sympathy and encour-
age1nent which only his felloW-teachers can
give. The cause of education demands that
we do all in our power to promote it. Un-
less we have that cause at heart, we can
never expect to accomplish anything worthy
of our profession. If we are teaching from
no higher motive than to make money, we
are prostituting to selfish and sordid end
one of the noblest and most philanthropic
callings, and degrading ourselves in the eyes
of God and man. AS true teachers, who
are not ashamed to bring our deeds and our
selves to the light, with mind, heart, soul
and body consecrated to the sacred work Of
instructing and training the youth of our
country, let us unite our efforts, and move
forward in one solid phalanx, determined
to elevate our profession to that usefulness,
dignity, and honor that belong to it. The
adage, that in union there is strength is en-
inently applicable to the teachers profession.
Let us no longer singly, aimlessly, and hope
lessly labor, each by himself and for him
self, but let us stand firm together, each re-
ceiving help and encouragement from the
other. There isa prize notonly for the most
gifted, but for every teacher who will avail
himself of the means of Improvement. An
association like that we hope to see ours,
must prove an invaluable aid to it's members.
Let us have full and enthusiastic meet
ing, and let US gather strength and draw in
spiration that shall carry US on in our work,
accumulating more energy and more hope
at each succeeding meeting, so that our pro-
gress for the coming year, Notwithstanding
hindrances and discouragements, may be
onward, and our influence, individually and
as a profession, may grow deeper and wider
from day to day.
Every teacher is at liberty to introduce
and discuss any question relating to schools
or school work.
We hope that the principals Of the high
schools in the county will be present, and
give us the benefit of their views and expe-
rience. WilnOt some of the lady teachers
favor us with essays on educational topics?
The meeting will be public, and cordial
invitation is extended to every person who
feels an interest in the cause.

tance turned from his spirit of humor and
gentle talk to business-railroad talk. He
first explained that he was President of the
Georgetown & N. G. Narrow Gauge Rail-
road, that the railroad was started as a mar
row gaugeI and still retained the name, but
was by amendment to the charter stand
ard gauge railroad. The object was to con-
meet the Northwest with the Atlantic coast.
This road was built to Sumterville, and
though Georgetown was the original point
on the Atlantic coast, Charleston was now
the point. He had conferred with the man
ayers of the Massachusetts Construction
Company, and was warranted in saying that
what they proposed they were able to full
fill. Large capitalists were interested in it.
The Construction Company would pursue
the route along which they could procure
the greatest assistance. At all events they
were determined the line should pass as
near the Catawba falls as practicable, and
the point in North Carolina was Shelby,
that was determined by the amount of aid
they could get whether it would run up the
east or west bank Of the Catawba River.
The construction company, he said would
furnish the rails and equipments, if the peQ.-
pie and county provided the goad-bed and
crossties, which would cost not more than
$4,000 per mile, After the speeches came
the dinner.|The attention to the speeches
was marked, that paid to the table was
more so. The meeting dispersed unani-
'mously in favor of a railroad by all means.
Col. Blanding came to Chester in company
with some prominent citizens. He express
ed himself as pleased with the topography
of the country, and said that the cost of
grading would be very little from Rossville
to within or miles of Chester.
On last Wednesday, by the Rev. David
Levy, of Charleston, Mr: j. Skalowski, of
Macon, Ca, and Miss Esther Simmons, of
our town, were married. The friends Of

HAYES AND ARTHUR.-Those acquainted
with various incidents of the Grant obse-
quies on Saturday last comment freely on
the fact that eX-President Arthur, who rode
in the same carriage with Mr.. Hayes, new
er addressed a remark to the latter during
the whole period they were together, and
when spoken to replied only in monosyl-
tables. Mr.. Arthur looked morose and
miserable, while Mr.. Hayes had his old
time careless and Indifferent manner. At
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, Vice President
Hendricks left large party of friends with
whom he was conversing and advanced
some distance to meet Mr.. Hayes, whom he
took warmly by the hand and talked to for
some time. The Vice President afterwards
remarked that notwithstanding his deep
personal interest in the contested Presiden-
tial election of 1S76-77 he had never felt the
least resentment toward Mr.. Hayes; that
Mr.. Hayes was no more than the passive in
strument of the men who stole the Presl-
dency, and he would have been almost more
than mortal had he withstood the pressure
that was eXerted on him. One who is very
high in the counsels of the Republican party,
and to whom the remark was imputed, said
that no matter what might have been the
inward convictions and wishes of MIR. Hayes,
he would not under the circumstances
have dared to refuse the Presidency, for
there were plenty of desperate men in his
party who would have cOuntenanced his as
sassination had he done sO.-C6Tespondence

DR.. CASTOR returned and found his brother gone.
About o'clock in the afternoon news was
brought ola terrible tragedy that had been COM

few doors below the house Of Dr. CASTOR. On
