They say it will bar onize the coantry and cot up by the ots the wrangles between the sec- ons. . They are late in the day in minff forward with their remedy. D, is known to nearly evejy man of uji uiusrj luwuigauwo uuvuguviu www South that if the true people had greed lo support Andy Johnson, rant and Hayes, that the wrangles ould never have begun. If every onfederate General and officer had one as Longstreet, Mahone' and osby have done, there would be no emocratio party in the land, and ere would have been no lies and anders in the Northern papers about South. The Republican party ould control I the whole country, ere would be no such thing heard If as local self-government, or rights f States, and a strong govern- ent would grow stronger, until berty would be destroyed forever. What Southern man is so fatuous, untrue to himself and his children, to desire a centralized despotism jr the entire domination of the Re publican party throughout the land ? Break up the "solid South !' What lor ? To give the Radicals the con trol? It can lead to nothing else. 1 Is any man of sense dud ordinary patriotism, who calls himself a Dem ocrat or who is opposed to Radical- ira, willing to purchase harmony and ood will at the price of abandoning Principle and handing over the South ern States into the tender keeping of tjie old enemy that desolated their Homes and robbed their treasuries? We cannot believe it. I The greatest possible calamity that can overtake the South is the disin i3 - ' tegration of the Democratic party. .t is simply and truly the very sheet- nchor of the safety and prosperity f the South. It Is suicidal: nay, it the heieht of criminality for any 6ne to go to work: to breas up tne bnly party that saves the South from am by dividing it in the Southern states. Hi very man with "an idea bbove an oyster" knows that a split n the South means Radical triumph. t is proposed to split the Democrats, )ut to leave the Radical party intact. jet thirty or fifty thousand Demo- rais split off in North Carolina and we will have Mahoneism in the State. iThtf old party of 1868-'69 will be back again hungrier than ever and tiore bent on Tuin than they were in he fearful days of the past when rime, immorality, peculations and briberies ran riot. THE SOUTH AMEBIC AN QfJBSHON. ia I i is ; j i i . itjru auu uuuvia uuuerbuo& lo unish Chili and to that end a war fvas begun. For a year or two it has been prosecuted with some varying accesses, until the end has come, and it is found that Chili was too strong or the allies and is victor at every oint. Pern being overwhelmed is 6w a prey to disorder and contend ng factions. The question ; with hili is, "what shall be done with it?" the Chilian '' army f is withdrawn ft ghting among the rivals will begin, nd it is too costly to keep a large rmy in the conquered country to pre- erve peace. It is thought that the ecessities of the situation may cause hili to resolve upon an extended 6c pupation of the country. It may end n Peru becoming a permanent pos kssioh of Chili, The reader of the events that have ranspired has no doubt been per- frlexe'd at the great superiority man! ested by Chili over her two rivals, n the begin nine of the war news- a -- aper writers from South America cemed to think Peru quite as for mi dable a power as Chili,' and being aided by Bolivia, that' the victory would remain in - the end with the allies. But all such calculations have been set at: naugb t. The ". reason of the Chilian superiority was not known to most observers. We give an in teresting presentation of the matter from the New , York Times, which accounts readily : for the successes that have attended Chilian arms! It eajs : "As between the two governments, that of Chili has beea by far the more stable, as her people have been more industrious and enterprising. Chili is an orderly sod well- governed republic Her people elect their President according to constitutions! forms. Her statesmen Btudy to adapt Ibe beBt features of our own and European State systems to their awn needs." Her finances are administered with intelligence, and. considering the effects of traditiou una the bad examples oi ; ; ner neiguooru, her public set vice . is reasonably pate and efficient. Without honest and able Ministers and genuine patriotism among bar people she never could have called ad sud denly into" existence aa army and navy capable of conquering the combined forces of Peru and Bolivlaf Her manufactures I and mining industries are in the hands of native UQuians, ana ner. popuiauuu is rapidly increasing through wisely encour aged immigration. Her growing strength and prosperity are tne outcome or rne cuar acter of ber people, whom recent travellers speak of with admiration aa a sober-minded and practical race. , ; ; ! "In marked cobtrast with their southern neighbors, the Peruviana are disposed to look on life as a holiday. They have all the vanitv. arrogance, and love of theatri cal display of the Spaniard. The trade of their country is largely carried on by for eigners, and its integrity has been so sap ped by repeated revoluitons that before the war any cheap adventurer wno coma muster a few hundred men mignt nave made himself Dictator." -? - -y- OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

I 3,766; of these 1,036 are for colored. There were 5,312 schools reported; of these 1,789 were colored. Ave rage length of school term ten weeks. Average salary; $21.91 per month. There were 13 counties that did not report. ' ! . CONKLING'J DEFENCE. The manifesto of Roscoe Conkling is exceedingly well done. It is an able and admirably prepared docn- ment. It no doubt presents his case in the strongest possible light. . It possibly even makes the worse appear the better reason. We are not ad mirers of Mr. Conkling. He is an able, a resolute, a self-willed, a haughty and an insolent opponent. He has never done the South, as far I .J L,- hftva learned the slightest fa- I as we nave learnea, tne siigmesi ia 1 vOr. but he has On more than one oc- I casion used his very fine powers in ai most damaging assault upon it; and I to make good his purpose he resorted I to the'suppression of facts, to the I manipulation of figures, and thus sought to make an altogether false and misleading impression. His speech against the South in 1880 had a great deal to do in the defeat of the Dem ocratic party He so misrepresented the South as to 'satisfy thousands of Northern business men that it would be Very dangerotisand impolitic' to entrust the Government with the Democratic party that owed its chief strength as a "National party" to the Sonth. s 1 j Mr. Conkling, we repeat, is a very able man possibly the ablest man in the largest and' richest of the States. He is a man of uncommon resources, and is a dangerous adver sary. He is a dangerous man for a Republic. He has no genuine attach- I ment to purely democratic institu- I tions institutions that spring from I the. people and are controlled by the j people. , lie would have ; filled the place of Wolsey under Henry VIIL almost as well las that consummate statesman and tyrant did. He would have been a masterly servant and friend of Charles I., and could have played the part assumed by Thomas Wentworth, Lord Strafford, with an art and a boldness'and an imperi- ousness that would have delighted Charles's heart. 1 If, with the Tower and the block before him, Lord Roa- coe would have been as bold as Straf ford may be doubted, for his per formances in Rhode Island do not in dicate'tbat he has the coorage of a martyr, however possessed with this appetite of a debauchee. ' uonkimg is a great torce in a country where there is no-' guillotine and no dungeon trants. . He can for political recalci- indulge his insolent dictation without fear, and ' can brave the President and Senators without danger, ers many of That he has folio w them and admirers too in no small force, is trae. But that he is bated and feared by many leaders in his own party is true also. The Washington correspondent of Forney's Philadelphia ( Progress, takes this view of the distinguished New York Senator in his last letter: , "Conkling would have made a splendid slavedriver; and even now, by hia manner, recalls tne orutai overseer, liesree. de scribed bv Mrs, Stows in ber Uncle Horn's Vabtn. '-You will i notice that there is not one Independent Republican paper in the country mat aoes not recoil from the inso lence of this man.; Most of the Philadel phia lournale, all the dailies of Chicazo. every one in Cincinnati, and St. Louis, and Louisville, and Boston, and the ereat ma jority of the New York papers, : excepting a lew in tne city, i turn away from hia at tempts to browbeat lbe President with something more than anger." i We daie venture the predic tion i that Conkling's r appeal to the Legislature of -his own State will have its effect at large, and will re - uU-inc-hia-favcr-et hcoerrWe are 1 prepared to expect that b) his mas cious, and probably is ; it may be an I ex parte statement of the case, and probably is, to some extent, and still r there is enough of 'truth to bririgojit two facts : first, that Conkling oppo ses Robertson because he .led .the recalcitrants . against . Grant ; and second, that 'Garfield , is :, merely rewarding . Robertson for t that act. : The . way in which Conkling presents his case is plausible and al together impressive, and (shows that he is cunning of fence. His confi dent assertion that he has made no recommendations, that he has made no assaults upon the Presidentthat he has not said those things attribu- tw UJ .' 1 "rTir he has not promoted the senatorial dead-lock-these statements made so ?. - . i . .. I . , ... . t. -.t. boldly will have their weight, with his party. , Then he attempts to throw the re sponsibility and criminality of trying a the Pre sident, and argues strongly that the President by withdrawing the New York nominations sought to force Senators to obey his will or bear Executive displeasure. Of. course the President has his own version of the matter; and in some way an attempt will betnade probably to offset Conk- ling's argument. But, thus far, we think the New York Senator has strengthened his case by showing up the manoeuvring of the Presideut. V Mr. Conkling's statement of the. rights of a Senator is impressive and in some respects just. He places the I matter sironsiy. ; . lie aaya ; . I "A Senator baa Ida own responsibility. I of which he h a membe"1 " i.'b'odby - 1 , li. La. a. . a 4 bis oath to 'advise and consent: 00 his I conscience aim juukuiou ueiuio vruu, 1 whatever or whoever else may constrain him. He U to be exempt from executive I executive favor on the other. The idea I that a Senator is simply to find out what ia wanted and then do it, we cannot believe oc admissible, and thus far no party has dared or descended to set up such a ot Py fidelity or allegiance." : Whilat a Senator is lobe free from Executive domination, yet the posi- tion taken by Senators Bayard and Voorhees strikes ns aa the right one that. Senators, in considering the recommendation of, persons to office by the President, are to be governed by the trne Jeffersonian test is he capable, is he honest? and when the answer is favorable that then they ought to confirm the ap pointments. As benator Voorhees says, this was the old time test, and it is the true one. But Democratic Senators ought not to have anything to do with the personal and political antagonisms of the President and Mr. Conkling. Gen. Alerritt may be an excellent officer, but aa the Presi dent has chosen to recommend Judge Robertson for the place held by him, and if Judge R. is able to meet the requirements of capability and hon- esty, then Democrats have nothing else to do than confirm him, however much it may displease Lord Roscoe. : "P." STANDS FOB PATK1CK. We are in receipt of a disjointed, rambling and incoherent letter from Mr. John T. Patrick, of Wadesboro which he requests us to publish.' Out of compassion to the author, and our readers as well, we must decline to print MrJ Patrick's manifesto. - there is one point, however,- to which' we must call attention.4" Mr. P. acknow- ledges the authorship of the "Per P." letter published in the &tae ot the I5tb, and ' substantially" admits that ho used the name of the Prohibition Executive Committee of Anson coun ty without any authority whatever. To show this, we ' quote as follows: "Suppose I admit that ' the thrust ' I gave was1 as the assassin's and con- trary to the wishes bf the other mem- bers of the committee ?w J 4 : : tin 'another 'J-T placed" Mr.'; Patrick speaks of his first ' letter as having been written by himself ffas ct jnember of the.
