t' it happen to including things that he, unblushing as he would like to hide. Well, in the midst of his orgies, debts, thieveries the young Nero is brought to a halt. A warrant issues for'his arrest on a charge of conspiracy, with the Treasurer of Orangeburg county to defraud the State and of larceny committed against the State. Declining to be taken he calls around him bis colored militia, true to the last, faithful amid the faithless found. No matter if Justices blacken their loyally to the King of the Thugs by signing warrants for his arrest, and no matter if bailiffs recreant enough can be found to execute such traitorous documents.

The colored janizaries are true forever, Moses. The breezes, from Columbia, the breezes, what do they waft, smells of the blood to-be, groans of the dying warriors who are to-fali in the great battle between, Moses and his Justices The thing is serious, painful.

NORMENT, of Robeson Co. SPARE AND SPOIL. The agitation over the olcLques-tionof "Shall the rod be spared in the schools still goes on, but negative side has lost heart in the controversy, succumbing to that gentle spirit of the age which sacrifices the real good of society to some fearful phantasmagoria or some alluring but treacherous hope. A troubled mother" has been writing her woes to a New York paper, and. wants the rod restored to the public schools.

Her sor it appears, misbehaved himself so'badly that the principal was compelled to expel him from the school and send a notification to all the otter schools in the city, thereby preventing his admission to any public institution of This course, the principal believes, could have been avoided had he been vested with the power to inflict punishment upon the boy at the time of his misdemeanor. The mother argues that the expulsioha'bf the son brings equal disgrace upon the parents, and believes, with the principal, that had the rod been applied the disgrace might have been avoided. There is some truth in this argument of mother "and teacher. We believe in the maintenance of authority in our schools. If persuasion and gentle punitive means fail, try the rod.

is in boys which must be got Out Or kept Tinder restraint. Often a pseudo-humanity -sparing the rod-does an incalculable injury. But while we would preserve discipline by stringent punishment, where it is necessary- the judgment; of the teacher deciding the nature and degree of such punishmentwe lire far from, desiring to. see the. old system of cruelties and barbarisms, which Dickens effectually, wrote down in England, revived.

Our boys need reasonable government, not coarse tyranny. Perhaps the revolt from the early mode of school government has proceeded too far. We think there is a sentiment against punishment of both youth and adults which has wrought nothing but harm. 'As a people we are perhaps too tolerant of evil, not so much because we love evil as because our hearts are too tender to set themselves resolutely for its extirpation or effectual restriction. The germ" of wrong-doing nipped in the bud in the boy -saVes the man from' folly and gives society a useful member.

Unnipped the bud of evil grows into the upas tree, and spreads its poison all around. There are many things decried as old-fashioned which had better remain for the good of the world. MOSES, OF SOUTH CAROLINA. If there is one thing in the world "more beautiful than all other things it is the working of the Reconstruction machine. The wheels, the axles, the cogs, the bands are all perfect, it runs smoothly and it runs rapidly, turningout the best work a machine ever did turn out in real or fairy land.

(Surely there be machines in fairy laud.) The finest of this work et doire is on exhibition in the Stales of South Carolina, Arkansas and Lou-' isiaua. It is crack work, as any man will say who has perused the papers. At least number of men in Arkansas have been brained with pistol and bludgeon and the good work is reported to be still going on. We eall that crack work. And it is all crack work including the election of Senators in Alabama and Mississippi and tlie manipulation of railroad bonds in Florida; 4 No more crack-brained policy- was ever attempted to be carried ouirindef a so called republican governments ill' UiX South Carolina is the cloverfield of iJEWaj? -Mf 51?

our readers will generally recognize Prof. Al-friend of this city. TIMELY TOPICS. The fellows in Atlanta have a pleasant way of shooting at each other. Sometimes a fellow gets hurt and sometimes somebody else is struck.

Once in a month or so a fellow or some other fellow is killed. But still the fun goes on in Arkansian or Texan style. On last Friday as a pic nic train was earing the city some young men with or without refreshment got tip a negro prize fight. As this amusement naturally created consternation among the ladies of -the party, the colored pugilists, two small boys, were removed out of sight. But the fighting did not stop.

It was kept up by some of the white young men. One of them cursed another, whereupon Another presented his little pistol. Number One coolly gazed into the recesses of the cavernous threatening steel and remarked that he saw a grave-yard there." Still he flinched not, though unarmed. The Atlanta man's strong point is his courage. He would be triturated and thus -the fragmentary remains of him be more readily prepared for cremation, but we ould never quail before an enemy.

But friends intervened and the fight was vetoed for the time being. Later, while the train was in motion and fair ladies and brave men were clustered thick about the car as autumnal leaves that strew the brooks in Vallambrosa or things to that effect, the little pleasantry was renewed. The late threatened became threatener. He waked up his man and thought he was firing into him. But the ball struck a lady, a very handsome lady struck her in the hand, passing through it laterally.

This raised the blood not only of the fair victim, but of the crowd. There was a panic and more ladies were in danger of hurt by imprudent efforts to jump from the train. Thp young pistoliers kept up the sport, and for aught we know are yet making a shooting gallery, of the streets of great Gate City, though they were put in durance shortly after their pic nic practice. The four propositions of principal interest to be submitted with the new Ohio Constitution to a popular vote in August, and if adopted to become parts of the organic law of that State are as follows: The first relates to minority representation in the election of Judges, and provides that in every -election for Judges of the Supreme and Circuit Courts, where three or more are to be chosen of the same court and for the same term of service, no elector bliall vote for a greater number of candidates than a majority of the Judges then Jo be chosen. The second provides that the General Assembly may authorize any township, city, or incorporated village, to issue bonds in aid of railroads under certain restrictions.

The third and-fourth propositions relate to the sale of iotoxicating liquors, one providing that licenses to seH may be granted, but that this permission shall not prevent the Legislature from passing laws to restrict the traffic and to compensate injuries resulting Iherefroni; the other declares thai noiiceuse or traffic hi intoxicating liquors aliail be allowed. It hasbeeu decided, we think unwisely, to remove the headquarters of the army to St. Louis. Gen. Sherman thinks there are several advantages in the proposed removal, among which js mentioned the fact that the bulkf the army is stationed west of thb Mississippi, and in case of an Indian war or other troubles in that section army operations could be better directed from St.

Louis than from Washington. In the event of a foreign war the very reasons assigned by the General of the Army for the present change would be strong to restore headquarters to Washington, Under the law the General with the consent of the President can make the change whenever he pleases. The capital of the country is the proper place for military headquarters. The Baltimore Gazette, annoyed by the items about the great poet Poe, many of which seem to reflect on that enterprising and humane city, wishes he had died-and been buried somehere else.
