The following is an extract taken
from Judge Little's charge to the
grand jury at the last term of the
Davies Criminal Court
There is neglect of that discip-
line and instruction necessary to keep
children in moral courses. Ii may
be that colored parents have omitted
proper strictness with their own chill
dren through some misconceived no.
tions of freedom. They, like many
white people, have got the notion
that the children will get the proper
training in getting an education at
the public cost.
There was never a grosser error.
In 50 far as parents have felt them
selves relieved from the duty of
training up and disciplining their
children by reason of systems of pub
lie education, these systems have
been anything but Il blessing. !; X

Col. Mcclure, of the Philadelphia
Times, thus speaks of his recent trip
To New Orleans:
II travelled from the Potomac to
New Orleans, stopping at the capitals
of the States, where political ambi-
ton Is always of most luxurious
growth, and never heard partisan
politics discussed or partisan interests
suggested and returning through
the iron and coal fields of the South
10 Tennessee, the most convulsive of
the Southern States in politics, it was
the Young business men who spoke
words of hearty welcome and taught
the lesson of Southern advancement.
And among the young men was
glad To see many with heads silvered
and eyes dimmed by age, who gave
the wise counsels and the conserva-
tive cooperation of experience to the
men who are about To re-creaie the
South. As an humble cO-laborer in
that great consummation, ! met only
the flowers and fragrance of peace
and progress and welcome overhang-
ing the Scared walls of civil strife,
and the Journey will be one of the
most grateful memories of the even
ing of Il busy life.

History has established one fact, con-

the Constitution was well founded.
They wanted it explicitly stated in
the text that only few delegated aud
limited powers We're granted the Cen
eral Government, while the several
States reserved their estate Sovereign

instrument without a "Bill of Rights
They feared that the opposition
would, by implication, claim nd take
undelegated powers; that the domi-
nant section or majority would effect
legislation detrimental to the minority
section. Said Patrick Henry: 81 am
sure that the dangers of this system are
real, when those who have no similar
interests with the people of this country
are TO legislate for us-when our dear

of those whose advantage il will be to

Constitution embodied the Federal
system with its three departments,
Legislative, Executive and Judicial,
with the House ot Representatives to
represent the people, and the Senate to
represent the States equally with two
Senators from each State, all of which

Mr.. Carlisle owes his prominence
in the House to the infinite pains
with which he prepared himself for
his speeches, especially that on the
refunding bill four years ago, which
put him in the front rank. and that
on the tariff. This preparation,
however, went no further than an
exhaustive study of the original data.
He accepted no mans figures, but
prepared his own from the official
statistics. For weeks and weeks he
spent every night at his desk COM
putting, comparing, figuring, and
making his own deductions. He
never gave thought to his diction,
his gestures, or to any of the arts of
rhetoric.
