The Palmetto State , JSoTiaa; In the Right Direction. Cortes pocdsnoe Journal-Obseiver. Columbia, May 15. South Carolina is following in the wake of the old North State in a measure of some im portance, especially to the. farming in terests of the people. This is in the organization of a chemical laboratory in connection with the department of ag riculture. This has been a need long felt. Ever since the State undertook to control the manufacture and sale of commercial fertilizers the services of a chemist have been called into requisi tion, but. at its last meeting, the Stte Board of Agriculture elected Philip E. Cbazel, a talented young scientist of Charleston, as the regular chemist of the department, and are now arranging to organize upon an extensive scale this branch of the public service. The board has purchased for their use the large and well known building near the capital, which was built in the flush daj s of Radical misrule by Parker, the notorious ex State Treasurer, and is aptly called, even to this day, "Parker s nam. i s , . i ,- .-. . , Columbia has been stirred up 'consid erably on the question ol graded schools. Rut it may be said that they are now a flxed fact. At a public meet ing iu February last, the question of a local tax of one mill tor ineir support was admitted to the taxpayers or the city. The tax was voted but not with cousiderable opposition, and the friends of the movement were not very hope ful of the ultimate success of the un dertaking until receully. Rut when the commissioners secure! the lease of the two large academies in the city for the use of the white schools, and when the Hon J L Curry, agent of the Peabody fund came in with a very substantial appropriation in aid of the enterprise, then things began to look brighter. At the present time the outlook is exceedingly en couraging and the prospect is tuat the various schools will open iu the fall with from 1,000 to 1.2U) pupils. This will be a very considerable increase, as the average attendance during the last school year was scarcely 3ot. It is hoped too that the length of the school year will be increased irom three to at least ten months, 'lhe commissioners have advertised that they will elect on the 23 ih of May, a city school superin tendent at a aJary of S1.5O0 per year from July. At the same time an elec tion will be held lor principals of the BChooIs. One male principal, (white) at 8 100 per mouth, one female principal. (white) at 875, aud one of the colorea school at 875. Applications should be be addressed to Col. T. W. McMaster of this cay. Col. McMaster is the chair man ot the school board. lie has Ions been nobly championing the cauae of puulic education, and success seems now to have crowned his labors. .he friends of higher education in the State are quite elated at the success of the two State institutions, the Uni versity at Columbia and the Citadel in Charleston. These institutions were both organ ized last fall and put upon a substantial basis. The number of students at the University has increased from 67 in lSl-"82 to 195. which is the number who have matriculated during the present term. The trustees m;et on the 23rd of the present month for the purpose of elect ing a president. Prof-. J. M. -McBride, ot the chair of agriculture, has been acting president, and he has made such an acceptable officer that the trustees could scarcely do better than to elevate him to a position which was graced iu former days by a Preston and a Bur well. The annual encampment which is provided for the cadets of the Citadel has been foregone for the present year, and the pleasures and pains of camp life will be postponed until next sum mer, when the corps will be more thoroughly equipped for field duties. it may not he generally known in your State that prominent positions are held in both these institutions by North Carolinians. Dr. Wm. Rurney, of Davidson College, and an alumnus of oneof the German universities is profes sor of chemistry in the University, and Capt Wm Cain, of iiillsboro, so long and favorably known in connection with the late C M I, in your city, and who ranks among the verv ablest of the mathematicians of this country, tills the chair of mathematics and engi neering in the Citadel. Dr Burney has achieved an enviable reputation for himself as an instructor of ability and as a brilliant manipulator. xt is a source or gratification to onr people here that the State Board of Education has again selected Columbia as the place for holding the Normal Institute. So the coming summer will bring its influx of teachers once mora. and with its many advantages it is hoped that this citv will be the nlara for the permanent location of these teachers' institutes. It is contemplated to establish at our university here as earlv as is Doeaible a chair of pedagogics, and this will cer tainly be a step towards bringing the noble profession of the teacher into higher dignity and usefulness. lhe latest Phase in the Secreat case is that the Governor of North Carolina has made a reauisition nrjon the an- thoritles here for the prisoner- SnrrMt is now in Richland count lail.

A special from Helena, Montana, says Col Ilgss, com manding at Fort Assiniboine, has in formation that the Crees are preparing for a general war. Three hundred lodges, under Big Bear. Lucky Man and Little Pine, are camped within 25 miles of Fort Walsh, ready to cross into Mon tana to avenge the losses of the Crees in their last horse stealing raids. Col Ilges has sent couriers to Fort Walsh with a demand that the British author ities take steps to prevent lhe Indians from crossing the line. Col Iiges thinks the first attack will be made on Grosventres and Assini boine, causing a general war and loss to the Northern Montana stock Inter ests. A party or urees a few days ago stoie rorty norses from the Benton and t Louis cattle company, and are being pursued Dy two companies or cavalry from Fort Assiniboine.

The Pope to the Irish Clergr -- Rosea, May 15.-The Pope in bis cir cular to the Irish bishops says whatever Parnelfs object may be his followers naveoxten adopted a course openly against the rules of the Pope's letter to Cardinal McCabe, and instructions sent to the Bishops which were accepted at tneir recent meeting in Duulin. while it is lawtul for the Irish to seek redress for their grievances and to strive for their rights, they should at the same time seek God's justice and reiuetuber the wickedness of illegal Uit-ans iu furthering even a just cause. It is the duty of the clergy to cuib the excited feelings of the people aud to urge justice and moderation. The clergy are not permitted to depart from these rules aud to join and promote movements inconsistent witu them. Collections to reliee the distressed are permitted, but subscriptions to lutlame popular passions are condemned. The clergy must hold aloof when it is plain that by such movements hatred and dissensiou are aroused or distinguished persons insulted, and when crimes and murders go uurebuked and when patri otism is measuied by the amount sub scribed. People are thereby intim idated. Therefore the Parnell fund is disapproved and no clergyman should recommend subscriptious theie- to i r promote ir. tiea. Topaz's Opiaioa of the Apache 0,aestioa. Hekmosillo. Mexico. May 15. Gen. Topaz, commanding the troops iu Souora. thinks that Gen. Crook has en countered the Apaches and driven them iuto lLer stronghold in the Sierra Madre mountains. He believes the Apache qaestiou will never be set tled while tiiey retain the San Carlos reservation, it being too near the rene gade Indians in booora. lie says it is the general opinion of the people of bonora that Indian agents encourage the Indians to leave the reservation to depredate and steal iu Sonora and carry back their plunder to the reserva tion and exenange it lor arms and am munition. He thinks the removtl or extermination of the Apaches the only solution of the difficulty and has con fidence in Gen. Crjk's ability to con quer the renegades, lie hopes the United states government will appre ciate the difficulty and hardship that Gen. Crook is now encountering. The Choctaw anal his Emancipated Slave St. Louis, May 15 A special session of the Choctaw Indian Council was held at Armstrong Academy, in the capital of the nation, yesterday, having been called by the principal chief. Mc- Curlin, to consider the freed man ques tion. By the treaty of I860, between the Federal government and the Con federated Indians, the Choctaws and Chlckasaws agreed to emancipate and give the usual rights to the colored people tn their nation within two years. for which the United States was to give them 830,000, and if they failed to adopt them in that time the money was to be used to remove and settle them else where. The Choctaws failed to adopt themtnd the government did not move them, and they have been there ever since without either citizenship, rights, or a title to the land they work. The Choctaws now desire to adopt them. and for this purpose the council was called. The Debt or Memphis. Memphis. May 14.

A Telegraph Ofiee Blown Up by Light ning. Last Mondsy night daring the thun der storm, a bolt of. lightning ran Into the office of the Western Union Tele graph company, at Asheville, and tore up things generally. The office is in the Eagle Hotel, and it was about 12 o'clock at night when the bolt struck. Mr S G Weldon, the operator, was fortun ately not in the office, or the fiery fluid might have used him up. The light ning struck the wires outside, only a short distance from the bouse, and so heavy was tbe bolt that it melted all the wires in the office. A bed in an ad joining room was set fire to and was partially destroyed before it could be extinguished. A lot of written mes sages hanging on hooks in the office were burned, and the office furniture was torn up. and this is about the amount of damsge done. The instru ments were not harmed.
