KUawhm we print a card which Judge George H. Brown gave to the pres* promptly upon the nomination ol his opponent, % Judge H. G. Connor, far Associ ate Justice. Its sentiment does great credit to tlic head, heart, and character of Judge Brown. That he missed the nomination by so small a margin as only three or four votes shows that he holds no ordinary place in the esteem of his fellow citizens. Honors await this distinguished son of the good old North State and the day will be one worth waiting for. ___________ MEWS ITEMS. A hurricane killed eleven peo ple at Baltimore, Md., Sunday.

The South is punctuated all over at this season with educa tional meeting.;, conventions of teach err,, Institutes, chotautiu.i.s, and summer normals, where thousands of our teachers arc as sembled and eagerly pursuing studies in the great art to which they are devoted. The reports indicate that exceptional enthu siasm is manifest among these educators, and that valuable knowledge and inspirations arc being absorbed by them from erudite and progressive lec turers. That sort of enthusiasm, well directed, cannot but confer great benefits upon the educational work of the South. Most of the teachers arc engaged in primarv instruction and are the great producers of the homes of the People who have felt the first fervor for popular instruction and trained the first fruits of the family for tlint work. These young people carry back from their summer schools and con ventions the best thoughts and seal for the best methods that are given them fruin the most competent authorities. And thus the public tuind-of the South is being yearly better informed and more earnestly affected for wide spread ami practical popular ed ucation. in due time the results will appear in legislation, our schools will l>c extended and perfected ungrudgingly and the repulsive blot of abnormal illiteracy will he forever erased from the records of Southern citizenship. The Constitution rejoices in tlic pros pect to that result opeued lip by the labors and entliusiasraof these Southern educatiouai assemblies. BESSEMEB ITEMS. ■ italjacr or tb« CiuUt. Mr. J. P.

WAS COLLEGE. Ottlcara Dotal lad lor the Work of Instruction. X*lri*«i lflih, Washington. July 18,—(n m>r Viiauce of the plan for establish ing a gcm-tul service and staff college at Leavenworth, Kansas, for the higher education of offi cers of the anny, the secretary of war to-day appointed a board of officers to prepare a course of instruction adapted for that in stitution during the coming year. The board is couiposed of the following named officers: Major Smith S. Leach, corps of engineers; Major Henry A. Greene, assistant adjutant gener al; Major Henry M. Andrews, artillery corps; Major William D. Peach, Tenth cavalry, and Captain Joseph T. Hickman, Eighth cavalry. The order appointing this jtoard states: "It having been impracticable to develop the in struction contemplated in the officer’s schools at posts in the brief time which had elapsed siucc publication of the general order of November 27, 1001, the selection of officers os contcm Elated in that order cannot now c made." i w<nty*thrce first lieutenants and seventy-four second lieuten ants comprise the detail of offi cers who will enter the class September 1st next. . Two build ings, containing forty-eight sets of quarters of two ioouis and u hath each, will be allotted for the use of the class, each officer being assigned to one room. It has been found impracticacle to make any provision for the fami lies of the student officers cl this time. _ Congress's Surpassing Achieve ment TU# Onlooker. If one is to believe the editori als in which both houses of Con gress were disposed of, the moat comforting feature of the last session was its close. It provi ded for the disbursement of near ly a thousand million of dollars. It may have put otlieT achieve ments to its credit or discredit, but this performance is so co lossal that for uic, it so over shadows others that they are without form. When it is re called that the annuo] expenses of the Federal Government, lit tle more than forty years ago, were fifty millions of dollars, the casual way in which a billion is wrenched from the Treasury should satisfy ever)' voter that allegiance to party is the jest of the few and the foolishness of the many.
