CHARLESTON, S. c., Sept. BIN its
issue of last Monday the DeutScte
ZeituDg prints long and interesting
STORY regarding MIR. w. Schubert. of
YorkYille. The Deutsche Zeitung says
that its readers have frequently heard
of Mr.. Schubert, as he is one Of those
unlucky people who are never out Of
trouble. Some time ago Mr. Schubert
lost his house by fire and the DeutscAe
ZeituDg took up a subscription in mis-
behalf.
More recently Mr.. Schubert was raid
ed by dispenSary constaO!es, and later
still be came before the public with 8
still more serious grievance. He al
legged that his wife had been unfaithful
to him, and in consequence be institu-
ted legal proceedings against county
commissioner Of Y York county, whose
name is not given. Tbe public official,
however, was rich and influential and
Mr.. Schubert was poor and had few
friedns, so that he never succeeded in
getting any satisfaction from the
courts. A month or so ago Mr.. Schu-
bert came 20 Charleston and appealed
to the Zeitung for aid. The editor Of
the ZelLung provided him with lodg-
ings and appealed to some of the in
f1eltial Germans Of the city to aid
him. These gentlemen, however, de-
clined to do anything in tue matter IN
til they had some guaractee of Mr..
Schubert'5 gooa character and proof of
the story which he told, so he returned
to his home in YOrkgille.
Mr.. Schubert has recently come to
the front again with letter which was
published 10 the New York Stats
Z9ituug. In it he goes over all of bis
troubles and puts up a very pitiful
story. The Staats Z3itung Immediate
ly started subscription in his interest
which was headed by the paper with
one hundred dollars.
Thus far the Stats Z.iGung appears
IN very good light, but nof conten,
with aiding Mr.. Schubert that paper
makes his letter the occasion for BIT
ter and violent attack upon the South.
1t pretendS to think that all Of Mr..
ochubert's troubles grew out of pre-
jddice existing in this State against
people of foreign birth. The Stats
Zeitung says editorially that it has al
ways warned Germans not to settle in
the South, and it now gives Mr.. Sch u,
bert's case as proof of the wisdom of
its advice. Itindulges in quite TRADE
along this line, characterizing the peo.
pie Of the State as "those scoundrels."
1t is Just here that thu editor OF the
Dcutche Zeitung of this city has come
TO the defence of the South in general
and of this State in particular, in a
very excellent article. He refutes all
of the charges made by the New ork
paper and asserts that in no pare OF
the Union are foreigners more re-
specteI or more kindly treated than
they are in the South. He explains
that in this city Of $4,000 inhabitants
of which about 1000 are Germans
the Mayor, several members of CouI-
Gil, the chief Of the fire department
and other officials are of German ex-
traction. He says that South Carroll
ma offers one of the best homes in the
world for Germans, aud he advises as
many of them as possible to come
here. The article is an excellent one
and is a complete refutation of the
| charges and denunciation ct the New
York Stats Zeitung.-News and Cou-
