There may be a friendly and legitimate competition J between sections as well enterprises, but it seems to us it should be based .on merit rather than sentiment. If any other Stale can manufacture an article better than our own State, let us buy from them, and let them re turn the compliment, as they surely will, on the same grounds. 'When In regard to the especial subject j iof school books.there are already pro vided by southern authors, books that ought not to be objectionable to our people, and that present our side of the question fairly. If there are books,and our people continue to use them, that present views that are objectionable to them, it is a sad re flection on the intelligence and judgment of those w ho have the se lection of our school books, as well as the parents Hiat allow the'.r chil dren to use them. If the judgment of our school boards can not be relied upon, togethe with that of our teachers who, as a general thing are a1 "'Ii,JlI &nt f tht',r rf-F'cUve committee., then there is little hope for our peo- considered anion" the most inteiii- pie. We are in a quandary out of which we eannt be helped by the quasi sentimental protection tariff proposed by our cotemporaries. Hut we do not admit this to be the situa tion. We have had some experience with school books in this section, and have seen very few that were of the villainou?,'" even dangerous type that is so often alluded to. And when these are found, they are prop erly rejected. Xot even the better class of the schools supported by northern people in this section use the books that would cause the present generation to lose faith in those who fought for "The Lost Cause." If the books in use are not best adapted to their purpose, other books would be written to take their place. As these books are now in general use, we must conclude that either they are the right ones, or that our people are such fools they do not know what is best, and that better ones would do them no good. Of course, of these two conclusions, we accept the former as the true one. Nu. lu questions not relating di rectly to State affairs, and State gov ernment, let us forget State bounds, considering them rather as a con venience, and not as limits within which are to be cultivated petty jealousies and selfish purposes. Let business be a domain to itself, built up upon sound business principles, and not upon unsafe, sentimental ones.

From our Regular Corrrspontu ; : .; Washington-, Feb. 24, lS'. o. ; The friends of civil service reform are not cast down by the exposure of j Commissioner Lyman's duplicity.! Ilia testimony is only surprising in that it is hardly usual for a man ac cused by the newspapers and denying most vehemently all the charges to go upon the witness staud and con fess everything. Lyman confesses, in short, that he had his daughter examined for an appointment when she was not eligible, and promoted his brother-in hiw Campbell twice, after that interesting individual had purloined lists of questions for the use of a lady friend who desired to be examined for promotion. Lyman says that he did "reprimand'' Camp bell, and when asked whether he would not have instantly discharged any one else for the same offense re fused to answer. With very few exceptions, newspapers that have al ways been distinguised aj advocates of civil service reform are calling loudly for Lyman's resignation. Thus far the investigation by the House committee has not revealed anything detrinental to Messrs Koosevelt and Thompson, and it is to be supposed that it will not. The friends of the system do not forget that upon the integrity cf its officers depends the success of any system, and the dishonesty of Ly man, Campbell and their associates no more reflects upon civil service, than does an absconding cashier con demn banking. , The commendable propositions ad vanced in the Senate for the build ing of additions to the White House and several other public buildings, together with a new government pi intmg office building, has reopened the old scheme of purchasing the laud coat h of Pennsylvania avenue from the Capitol to Fifteenth street. This was a pot plan of the Congress men of fifty years tgo, who saw in their mind's eye a vista of public places extending in one majestic line up the avenue for t .vo miles. l'r these many years the owners of prop erty in that locality have looked and longed for the day Congress would make the appropriation. Patiei.ce has given out in some cases and ex pensive WMihouses have gone up. The other day Senator Iugalls een reported in favor of allowing an ad ditional railway depot upon this section. The value of the hind has always been kept high in anticipa tion of this gigantic deal. Pi;siness has moved away from Peai'.sylvai ia avenue to F street and now all t lie big furniture and dry goods houses that used to compose the north side cf feiinsylvania avenue have sought other quarters. Still the price re mains big. The expense however would be but a small consideration had not nature put her ban upon the plan. Twice within the past year, and previously at intervals of three or four years, the major portion of this land has been covered with water, backing up from the river, ami many of the streets have been three or four feet under water. The land is mostly made land, a marsh having been there once, and old inhabitants tell of duck hunting hi its wilds. The cellars are still useless, being liable to be Hooded during any heavy rains. Photographs of different Hoods in this district are displayed in places along Pennsylvania avenue. They show busiuess houses Hooded to the middle of the first floor, water lap ping the store floors' as far as the north side of the street and hotels like the St. James with the lobbies Hooded. And yet this is the sort of property that sharks try to sell the government. I believe that despite the amount of money the combined land-owners can give to lobby a bill, the scheme will fail. So long as there is dry land to be had- Congress will hardly be induced to buy a marsh. Taking lunch amid the clinking glasses in the restaurants on either the House or Senate side of the Cap itol, one would hardly believe that for over fifty years there has existed a quiet, earnest temperance society composed entirely of Kepresenta tives and Senators. The society is little heard of and its quiet Februa ry anniversaries pass by unnoticed by the world. Some of the mem bers many of them are men who were once excessive drinkers and their reformation has been to them the hardest battle . of their lives. That is why so few of them strong ly identify themselves with the big prohibition movements. Their days of dissipation are sore places in their lives, which they seek only to forget. On the old rolls of the so ciety appear the names of such men as Edward Everett, Lewis Cass, Ku fus Choate, Joshua K. Giddings, Henry A. Wise, Millard Filmore, and Franklin Pierce. To-day the names of Senators Colquitt, Blair, Ilawley, Mitchell, Teller, McMillan, Washburn, Wilson, Frye and Dawes appear upon the books. One of the most interesting facts is that liobert Smalls and John 11. Lynch have been members of the society. These meu who have risen from the depths of poverty and ace prejudice have learned the advantage of sobriety. Another Freaclier lu Trouble. Statesville Landmark. Kev. J. C. Stowcll, late pastor of the BaptLfc church of Statesville, who went to Washington, Beaufort county, about the 1st of January, in response to a call to the Baptist church of that place, ias become involved in some unfortunate com plications. Charges that he had left the State' of Michigan some years ago under a cloud, have been float ing around for some time, and are supported by a letter received here from ex-Gov. Begole, of that State. It has also been alleged that, while he represented himself here and elsewhere asasiwgle man, he has in fact one or more living wives. Mr. Stowell was summoned to the meet ing which was held in Kaleigh last week for the purpose of selecting a location for the proposed Baptist female university, and confronted with these charges. As to the con tents of ex-Gov. Begobs letter, our understanding is that he entered a general denial To the charge that lie is a married man, he replied that he di 1 some years ago go through a form of marriage, but that it was not iegal, and finding his half-wife to be a bad woman he left her and understood that she had sitice died. In view, however, of the charges, he surrendered hii license, credentials, &.C., saying that he would go North and obtain evidence which would vindicate him, the understanding being that if he succeeded in doing so ho would would claim his papers a'rain.

Charlotte Chronicle. Thirty-three men were imprisoned in the Egypt coal mine last Thurs day, and there was an exciting time among the people of the community for a few hours. There were thirty-three men at work in the mine, at a depth of 110 feet when, at 3:30 Thursday after noon, the cage caught about midway between the top and Ihe bottom of the only shaft at the mine thus clos ing the only means of escape for the miners below. The men remained in the mine until next morning, when they came out through a hole which was cut through the cage. When rescued the water in the mine had risen to the knees of the men. It is said that the Superintendent of the mine warned the telegraph operator not to send away any report of the occurrence The Chronicle's informant also told the reporter that improvements are going on steadily at the Egypt coal mine, a new 80-horse power hoistcr having just been put in.
