Our pleasure aud our passion should be the guide of conduct,, end virtue is in deed, a superstition of life that ends at the j?rave." The alwve, is a sentiment ex pressed bv Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, in L his oration upon the death ot Congress ' man Hume.

It is deemed advisable, to get the committees into working order at once, and not to wuit until Congress meet in regular session. There wns some talk about dispensing with certain special committees, but it is believed they will be continued. A report is current that Col, Swords, of Iowa, is ikely to succeed Col.

Mr. EmT0g;-It is always with great reluctance thnt 1 rush into print, and 1 lien these few line with much hesitation, but I hope your reader may bear with me for the suke of the cause. I have just read the circular letter from the graded school committee and feel so much interested in the continuance of this term that I feel that it would not be entirely out of place to offer a few tig gestion to the friend of education gen erally, and the patron of the public schools particularly.- To begin with, I will say that I know of many persons who have been drawn to our city, as well as myself, for the most part on account of it educational advantage, and in many such instances time is money, and to hove to lose the next few months, which is imperatively needed to finish up these grades, means practically the loss of one whole year from school. Now this may seem untrue, but it is iu this way: To stop the children in the middle of a term for six months and turn them out upon the .streets, they win 01 course lorget mucn tney have been oyer and will consequently have to re view it all over, and can then Only finish up in the next year what they would aliout accomplish in the next three or lour month if kept straight on now. So we see that, financially speaking, it is to our interest to keep the public school running lor these few months, even if we have to pay for it. Now the next question that might be asked is, "If we have to pay for it, why not let each onechoose their own teachers und methods, and not necessarily send to the public school building as suggested in tlie committee's circular." Our answer to thi is that in a private school the teucher having several grades to teach cannot give the time to each grade that they would get in the proposed school, and we feel very sure that with the school already organized, the work will be much more satisfactory all round than it is possible to do in any other way. Again, if the suggestions of the com mittee are acted upon promptly, all of our people will get the benefit of the school, with perhaps less expense to those entrusted than it would be were they to end to other schools. C. A. Nichols. A HCIiNU IN THE HOllsK. Kepreneiftatlvea Carter and Ban ner I'ae Harsh Iang;aag;e. Charlotte Chronicle, MrchS,l Rai.kic.h, March 5. In the House this evening during the consideration of a bill allowing Mitchell county to issue bonds, Mr. Banner, (Hep.) insinuated that the committee had failed to do its duty. Mr. Carter, of Buncombe county, said that Mr. Banner told him he (Banner) had lied before the committee. A man who can go before the committee and lie, coming here with impudence, should be held to scorn this would-be Republican ritictsing the judiciary committee. Mr. Banner said that the man did not live who could intimidate him. He was not afraid of any man that lived, and could not out-lie the gentleman from Bun combe. ' Mr. Carter called him a liar. Mr. Banner replied, "You are another ; and it you want td settle it out of this hdll, I am ready." The Seaker interfered, and order was restored. Taken In and Done For. The "lightning tooth liniment" man struck the city yesterday afternoon, and some of our people are considerably wiser and sadder for his coming. Money was no object to him and be scattered quar ters, hull-dollars and dollars profusely among the uudience who listened to his racket and purchased his compound, all at the same time. Finally, however, he began to get in' his work, and the cash f the victims wus rapidly shelled out and pocketed by the "tooth linimeut" peddler, n the hojie of receiving the five and ten ollar bills which he proposed to distrib- te. At last accounts none of those bills had been distributed ; an1 4 Via lin!i.Hl 2 a.iu ...v lll.lllivtl man had left the town. A Correction. We regret that gross injustice has been ione by the article in yesterday's issue, contributed by Rev. J, T. Jones-Lewis on Asheville's Educational Facilities." The sentence, "There are hundreds of young adies who cannot pay the high fees of high-classed colleges, who would never theless be able to appreciate, and to make use of the education provided in most col leges probubly fur better than the minds of their wealthier sisters who can afford to pay for it," should read for high-class ed, high-class ; for most, those, and for the minds, two-thirds. The medical College. We learn from authentic source that the "Western North Carolina Medical College" will be established in this city at an early date. The leading spirits in the movement are, Drs. S. W. Battle, F. T. Meriwether and J. A. Watson, and the college will be conducted upon the same' rules governing instruction, etc., of other colleges of similar character. Application for a charter for the institution" is now pending iu the General Assembly. Quite an Honor. Dr. Hunter McGuire, of Richmond, Ya., and president of the Southern Surgical and Gynaecological Association, which mcets in Nashville, Tcnn., next Novem ber, has appointed Dr. F. T. Meriwether, of this city, one of the annuid essayists for that meeting. Dr. Meriwether read two paper before the same body, at its last annual session. Bible Class. The young ladies will hold their Bible Reading at the Mission Hospital to-morrow, at 4 p. m.
