The South Carolina Experiment.

One would think, to look at the election
returns from South Carolina, that any
further steps for the suppression of the
negro vote in that State were to say the
least, unnecessary The methods applied
by the Bourbons down there are certainly
sufficiently effective now. According to
the census of 1850 there Were 604 1872 col
ored people in South Carolina and only
3gl los whites. Out of the total popula
ton there were pos. 49, males Of both races
over twenty-one years of age. and entitled
by law to vote. Since more than two
thirds of the people are negroes, ii is clear
enough that were they allowed to vote they
could easily control the State No argu-
ment is required to make 1t manifest that
the Republican party would be in power in
South Carolina. where il has the sympathy
of the entire colored population and of a
large minority of the white vote also, If its
strength could get into the ballot boxes
and thence upon the tally-shectS. But ne
gro voting is not tolerated in South Caro-
lima no matter what the law says. The
will OF the Bourbon Democrats supersedc>
the statute-books.
In 1854 with voting population of at
least 2l0. 900. South Carolina cast only 9l.-
623 ballots. ard of these only 2l,I@3 were
in favor of the Republican electoral tick
ct. With at least liz, 600 colored electors
in the State the Republican vote was only
2l.133. In the last election the results
showed an even greater degree OF intimi-
dation and fraud. for we cannot suppose
there is ANYBODY 50 innocent or 80 dull a
not to see that these figures admit Of no
honest Interpretation. In the last election

tied to the franchise. General Harrison was
permitted to receive only 1890 votes and

Some Points on Sunday School Music

The Rev Charles Cuthbert Hail. III al
interview in the Brooklyn Eagle expresses
some ideas on the much yexed question .,
SUNDAY school music which are caicuia'eu
to awaken discussion. MI Haii thihnS
that what are currently known as Moo'.
and Sankey hymns should be USED aiiiouE
adults who have not had the oppoi tun's
in childhood TO be educated in appreciation
of music of IA higher order. lie thihhs
that when there are cultivated minds anu
educated parents among the young people
of the Sunday school it is hardly right 10
teach them this grade of music. He holds
that teachers and superintendent oil sun
day schools occupy positions of great re-
sponsibilty toward the children whose
opinions and tastes are not yet matured.
The popular impression a. to the dliicuilH
of the higher order of childrenS hymns ne
esteems a falacy, affirming that the melody
of the majority of Chldren'> hymns OF the
highest class is simple melody, written III
more regular time than that of tunes az ah
inferior order He j. willing to test thi>
position by submitting tniunprcJudiced VII
uesSeS ten tunes selected by lot from the
works of the best tune writers and com
pairing them with ten tunes similarly Sc
leCted from the works of our popular
American machine tune writers. The mar
monies of the higher class are indeed more
involved than the lower. but the children
sing principally the melodies and not the
harmonics, the latter being supplied 10y the
piano or organ. The most illiterate chill
drcn can be taught the pure, simple mclo-
dy Of the high class music. Mr.. Hall says
further:
THE singing in the Sunday school aud
the singing in the church should be on one
and the same plane of excellence. What
ever HYMN tunes are good enough to De
sung by the children in their school should
he good enough 10 be sung by the congre-
CATION in the church A. far a. possible
the Sunday school hymns should be idcnt-
cal with the church hymn tunes. IN order
that the child shall feel that the school and
church are one aud indivisiblr. Many chill
dren's HYMNS should be sung in the chur h
and the scholar when he passes from the
class room into the great congregation
should never be permitted to encounter
any shock by feeling that he passes into
different musical or literary atmosphere.

Intelligence has just reached Concord,
n. H., of a fearful disaster at Hookset.
short distance north of the station are
three wooden bridges spanning the Merri-
mack, used by the Suncook branch of the
Concord railroad. Recently these bridges
have been undergoing repairs, and on ac-
count of the ice and high water it has been
necessary to stay them with heavy timbers
This work has been under the superintend-
ence of Master Bridge Builder Patterson.
Wednesday a large gang was at work on
the middle bridge. when suddenly and
without warning, the ice began to move,
precipitating the bridge and ii men over
the falls into the water. Three of the
men were drowned, and the remaining
eight were rescued from the river In an
injured condition. A relief train has been
despatched and the injured men viii be
taken to Concord as soon as possible.
Information has been received by the
United States Marshal at Fort Smith,

ton, son of Ex-Governor Overton of the

graphed that he will surrender at once.

No Doubt about Stanley's Fate.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT WILL PROBABLY ACT
MONDAY.
A special despatch from London to the
New York Times of Saturday morning, the
the 10Th, says;
Everybody in London believes that Emin
Bey and Henry NJ. Stanley are both prison
ers of the Mahdi. 1t is at least certain
from 0sman Digna's letter that the Mahdi
is in possession of number of things
which Stanley is known to have carried
with him, and it is assumed that both the
the Europeans lives are too valuable from
a hostage point of view to be sacrificed by
the Soudanese. In the light of this dis
covery it is probable that the Suakim fight
will be indefinitely postponed. Lord Ran
dolph Churchlrs motion for negotiations
is to be discussed on Monday and it is GER
tain, therefore, that nothing will be done
till after that.
A despatch from Saukim says it has
been ascertained that the date 1869 was

panied Osman Digna's letter announcing
