lf REF. SAM JONE8.
lW-Wenira papers are . now dis
cussing the merits of the Rev. Sam
Jones,1 (be prefers to be called gam,
rattyer than Samuel,) who - has been
for ome time and . still is creating a
senaation by his somewhat remark
able au4 decidedly original way of
preaching in Tennessee. There seems
to be difference of opinion, some
holding that he is a pulpit orator of
surpassing merit, others contending
that he is a rude and coarse talker
with a preponderating supply of vim
and cheek. But no one dis; utes his
originality, nor do they dispute that
he is preaching with astonishing ef
fect and that he is drawing thou
stitid to tear him - where moro; ao
XHirpiished and ' deeply t 'learned
preaoiMjrs go with very elidv; aiidi
ences. In the start doubtless much
of the attraction he holds out to the
public, saint and sinner, is in the
peculiarity of his style of preaching,
his quaint sayings, abounding as they
do -in apt allusions' an3 striking
truths. -J3e Is io .respecter of the
delicacies of speech, and sometimes
expresses himself in .language rough)
coarse, with a smack of profanity
and even blasphemy in it. This draws'
the crowd, and yet many who doubt
less go out of curiosity or to be amus
ed find in the man something that
tells them be is terribly in earnest m
the work ha has undertaken, and"be
come believers. . He has made! some
noted converts among men who never
gave religion much thought, nor i
preachers much attention.
Perhaps one reason why he is so
successful, why so many people flock
to hear him, is that he throws' bis
whole' soul fntO his work, that he
talks in language that the simplest
can understand, pretends to no learn
ing and aspires to no oratorical fin
ish. He illustrates his discourses by
pictures from every day life which
have come under the observation of
every one, and with which his hear
ers are, all familiar. He speaks
to the multitude : of whom " he
is one , , and w ith' whom he
is in sympathy, ab(J treats the man or
woman who wears fine clothes, rides
in a carriage and lives in a fine house
with no more deference than he does
the wearer of a hickory shirt, who
walks to hear him and lives in a
cabin. r- He impresses this fact by his
local allusions, and his plainness of
speech upon his hearers at once and
thus the mass . of them listen aa
they seldom ' listen and feel as they
seldom feeU SO much.for originality,
and so much GF plampessof speech
that the unlettered not famfliap w&h

derstand without troulel- Mr. Jones
may be an orator in bis way or he
may-nptbe Kemibe " ft very pioui
man or he may not be, but whether
he. is or not he is certainly creating a
sensation as a revival preacher jatid

JEWUCATION IN THE SOUThJ
Substance in Brief of an Iaterrie w with
Rrv Dr. Mavo. ' : -
The Rev. A. D. MayO, - of ' Boston,
Mass., who, for the past five ' years,
has been traveling through the South
ern States, in the interests of educa
tion, has been spending a few days in
Charlotte las the guest of Superinten
dent T. J. Mitchell. In a recent
conversation on the general outlook
of educational affairs throughout tbe
South, Dr. Mayo expressed subs tan
tially the following opinions: It
should be premised, in justice to this
gentleman, that his views arej nbt
those of a New England or sectional
observer. During the past thirty tve
years the Doqtif; has been, for 'atqut
equal periods ft "resident of the1 New
England, Middle and Western States,
during the whole period deeply inter
ested in educational matters, and
always holding some important posi
tion of administration in public, col
legiate, and professional schools. At
the close of the; war, conyinced of the
'gieat importance of the edacatweal
question to the Southern people, the
Doctor occupied4 himself for several
years in a careful atid exhaustive
study1 Of the history of Southern edu
cation, from the earliest Colonial pe
riod to tbe present day. One of the
results of this study has 'been the
preparation of a course of lectures on
"Education in the South," declared
by Henry Barnard, the foremost
authority in the Union, the only suc
cessful, atttempt to present an impar
tial account of this subject to tbe
country. s Portions of these unpub
lished lectures have already been de
liveredin Baltimore, Boston, and
other cities, and Dr. Mayo informs
us that the entire series will be iu
shape to deliver duriDg the coming
season. Our Southern, universities
could present no more - attractive, or
valuable instruction to their students
than this group of disoourses. As the
result of these studies, five years ago,
the Doctor gave'up his relations with
a large church in Massachusetts,
and has devoted himself almost ex
clusively to what" may hi calfeif" a
"Ministry of Education" among the
people of the South. In order that
this ministry might be absolutely uii
biased, Dr. Mayo has goue forth, en
tiveiy (jnUia individual' responsibility,
holding no. official connections with
any sect, partly, or association, jusing
bis on priyate income',-with contri
butions from "his qwn &vA Other
churches, with personal gifts from all
parts of the country, in support of
bis work. Through the columng of
the National Journal of Education,
and vaiious prominent newspapers,
he has reached ..the whole country
with his views on the present status
of Southern society. In his travels,
he has visited every Southern Sxate,
except Arkansas, spending from six
to eight" months', p'very year, $n the
South, and speaking m aa many
Northern States, on Southern educa
tional affairs. His labors have cov
ered the entire field, from the coun
try distpiot school up to the univer
sity, and, perhapg,' no wn , haa a
mOre extended acquaintance with
Southern teachers and schools. Al
though somewhat on the shady side
of sixty, the Doctor appears to thrive
on his big circuity and was? never j in
as good working order as at present.
He is becoming more deeply interest
ed every yeaf, knd contemplates a
possible removal of residence to
Washington f w &Wr9 Southeily
point, at a not distant day.
To tbe inquiry, 4?Wba M tbe pres. -ent
outlook of educational affairs in
the South?" the Doctor replied, rJ'De-'
jcidedly favorable. The, rebuilding
jfor the children began, immediately
at the plose ef the war, with the re
'opening Of the colleges and acadami
cal schools, and the efforts of the
educated classes to keep up their
former interest (n tbe schooling of
their familes. pite of financial", re
verses, and the absolute irapdver
ishmentof the great body .ofVube
superior cldssthis work of rebuild
ing the upper side of education,, has
gone steadily on. While no compe
tent Southern schoolman is . satisfied
with present results, yet the colleges
and academies of the South never
were so good, as educational institu
tions, as today, arid neyer so Burner
ously attended. The chief drawback
is want of endowments, and the ina-
bility of - good families often to pay
the moderate expense of residence
for their children. The presidents,
professors and teachers iu the insti
tutions, with the usual exceptions,
deserve the confluence of the people,
and are doing more work, for " legs
money, than any body of educated
men and women jn the country.
With the exception of afaw generous
gifts from the North, this has been
solely the work of the Southern reo J
pie, and disposes, at once, of the
thoughtless charge of their indiffer
ence to good learning. A wise policy
would now dictate a great effort for
the endowment for these superior
schools, their adjustment to the pub
lic school system, and general pre
paration for the great work before
them. There is no ground for jeal
ousy among them, but the field is
broad enough for all." v
"While this side of the Southern
educational temple has been risingt
the general . government and the
Northern Christian people have been
at work in another field for the col
ored folk, have established a large
number of schools of a superior grade,
often with excellent buildings, and
have expended more than twenty Qve
millions of dollars, within the past
twenty -five years. Although some
mistakes have been made, the out
come of the movement has been good
Many thousands the more intelli
gent class of the. Colored people have
Been fitted to teach in-the-, common
schools, the colored clergy has been
greatly improved thereby and , the
formation of a genuine upper class,
established on character, ; skilled
industry and intelligence, facilitated.
These schools are now doing a good
deal for industrials training are in
high favor with the leading Southern
people, and; wiu tdtipaately,? become
tbe superior institutions tot this class
of students through the South. :
But the most remarkalSo effort has
been the establishment of the free
common school, for both races in
every Southern State. Within the
6ast "fifteen vears. the common school
has become everywhere an establish
ed fact, and is moving forward in
every State. It is seen at its best in
the cities and larger towns, and the
majority of places of ten thousand
inhabitants and upwards have now a
creditable, and often a superior syss
tem, of public elementary instruction,
for. all their children. The least
prosperous State now - gives three
months a year schooling' in the open
country, while several have reached
four, five and six months The sparse
population of large sections of the
South, the poverty of the masses of
the people, the indifference of the
ignorant, and the strange hostility of
a portion of tbe intelligent, with the
difficult race problem, are a constant
hindrance.. But spite of all obstacles,
the work'goeson, as steadily as the
forces of nature, with no steps back
ward. There is no Southern State
where a public man can safely resist
this irresistible trend of public opin
ion, and grumblers and obstruction-
ists of every sort against the chil
dren's cause, are finding Jordan a
harder road to travel every
year. No one but a careful ob
server can realize the tremendous,
force of this popular movement,
which can only be fully understood
by the man who attempts to resist it.
This year the Southern States will
pay more than fifteen millions of dol
lars for their free public schools, and
the movement is only yet on its
threshold. The future of Southern
industry is stowed away in this ele
vator, which is lifting the ignorant
masses to the ability to avail them
selves of all modern methods of
skilled labor. With a complete sys
tem of good elementary schools, sup
plemented by industrial and techni
cal training, the material prosperity
of the South is bound to surpass the
most extravagant prophesies." :
"Have recent political changes ar
rested the educational movement?"
was our next inquiry, to which the
Doctor replied: "The educational
movement here, as everywhere, is
fundamental, and independent of all
superficial agitations of sooiety. The
only danger in this direction is from
the lower sort of political workers,
who everywhere attempt to capture
school boards for plunder or patron
age; and, in the South, to foment
race and sectional prejudice. But I
see no special indications of such
abuse in the South, and never have
found all classes so determined to
push on this interest as the "present
year."
To our inquiry concerning theprac
tical method of developing the graded
common school, the Doctor replied s
"There seems to be an invariable law
in this development. Outsiae the
large cities, the movement concen
trates in the county towns, and other
centres of population. Every town
of two thousand people in the South
is, today, deeply stirred by the ques
tion of the graded school. The more
it is resisted, the more certain is. the
result. The superiority of thd graded
8yternin cheapness, efficiency of in
structio.n, discipline, training in good
morals and manners, and in promo
ting union among the people, is al
ways demonstrated by the first yea.r
of fair trial j and no Southern town,
to my knowledge, after one year's
fair trial, with competent teaching
and supervision, has gone baok. Ev
ery town is found more ready to im
pose a local tax with every year's
experience. Wealthy men learn that
nothing so steadily builds up a town,
attracts substantial people, increases
the value of real estate, and generally
gives prominence to a. pjacg. as a suw
perifii' $Phool system, wfcuc 'he acach
emies and colleges that keep up, and
adjust themselves to the new order,
reap substantial benefit Your ex
cellent graded schools in Charlotte,
amopg the best in the South, are the
pest investment of phoney for your
thriving city, are publishing Char
lotte all oyer the land, and, in ten
years, will send, forth hundreds of
young people, of whom their city will
be proud. An excellent and very
economical feature is now, I under
stand, in contemplation m the estab
lisbment Of a department for the
training of young women as teachers
in tbe public schools. In this way
large numbers of the educated girts
-of your city can avail themselves of
the instruction of an expert, and of
observation and practice in yout
graded school, and, with the diploma
of your school committee, wDl not
only be available for your own em
ployment, but be in demand through,
all the adjacent country. Besides
this, your school, thus furnished,
will attract pupil b from all quarters,
who, by paying moderate tuition,
will be able to qualify themselves for
work in their home districts, and.
thus give to Charlotte the leadership
in publio education through a large
and growing ; section of the South.
The city 7 that . first establishes and
makes a success of this department
will have the inside track in this
important movement.
Pr. Mayo left the city last evening'
fop a short tour of lecturing through
the Northwest. He expresses him
self as deeply moved by the kindness
and universal interest of the South
ern people during his 7 past winter's
Jnurneyings, which have extended
rum Baltimore to New Orleans. We
may expect another season of work
from him in oqr Stale in the follow
ing spring, should his present ar
rangements be carried out.

Westminster, Md., June 2. At
2:30 o'clock this morning a body of
masked men rode into this city and
went at once to the jail, where Town
send Cook, colored, was imprisoned
for an outrage on : Mrs. Knox, near
Mount Airy, a few days ago. They
broke down the door of the jail, over
powered the sheriff and proceeded to
Cook's cell, a rope was placed around
his neck, after which he w.as led out
and! put into a wagon and the mask-'
ers proceeded out on tbe Mount Airy
road. At 3 o'clock the body of -Cook
was found banging to a tree about
two miles from this place. Two bul
let wounds were found in the back of
his neck. A piece of paper taked on
the tree bore the words, , written in
pencil, "This man confessed his
crime." The words were written on
a letter head printed "Law office of

TOO MUCH MONEY.
The Glut of which New York Com
plains. N. T. Cor. Baltimore Sun.
Never before in the history of New
York banking has the condition of
the money market been so bad as
now. Money is absolutely a glut in
the market. Bates are at the very
lowest notch, but nobody seems to
want money at any price. Banks are
filled to overflowing with idle capital,
and are actually refusing deposits. A
glance at the weekly bank statement
is sufficient to show that this picture
is not overdrawn. There is now in
the banks composing the New fork
York Clearing House, 62 in number,
$60,768,925 of idle money; This is
over and above the $90,370,975 re
quired by the national banking law
as the" legal reserve. The amount of
the surplus reserve is really larger
than appears in this statement, be
cause among tbe 62 banks there, are a
number of State institutions not re
quired to maintain the national bank
reserve. "This condition of things,"
says President Baldwin, of the Fourth
National Bank, "is unprecedented. ,?
On May 31, 1884, a year ago, there
was actually a deficiency of $1,975,025
in the legal reserve; that is to say,
the banks had all the money they
could legally loan employed, and a
little more. This year the situation
is reversed. Mr. Baldwin says that
he is turning away would-be deposit
ors. His bank has long been accus
tomed to pay 2i per cent interest on
deposits This has been reduced to 2
per cent., and now Mr. Baldwin re
fuses to pay it at all except to old
customers. Most of the banks pay
no interest on current deposits, and
those that do are reducing the rate.
The Bank of Commerce has nearly
$7,000,000 of idle money in its vaults.
The City Bank has nearly $8,000,000
surpl us over legal requirements. Ev
ery banker repeats the statement of
Mr. Baldwin that the trouble is a lack
of confidence among investors. It is
said much of the surplus in the City
Bank is the cash of the Moses Taylor
estate, which is being locked up till a
better time for special investment A
well known legal firm in tbe Equita
ble Building has nearly $3,000,000
E laced in its hands to loan out on
ond and mortgage, and the firm is
unable to place tbe amount. The banks
are thus vitally interested in the re
vival of business. It is a matter of
common remark in Wall street that
many of the banks have been giving
Mr. Gould all the aid they could le
gitimately in his efforts to impart
Strength to the stock market, by
which they would be benefited as
much as he.
