TUo supremo court has recently mode b decUioa tbit do ssnget their school system. I am sorry for It, but maybe it is right—maybe it is. The graded schools in this state are the moat prosperous that I have aeon anywhere. I have visited them and studied their arrangement, and heard thepnplla recite and I felt ashamed that I was so far behind them. The modern system of teaching is certainly Ar ahead Of the old field schools of oar fathers. Add np that column of figures, John, said tho teacher to a little ten-yoar-old. Ho atood op, and In a distinct voice snot np tho long row from bottom to top, increasing with ovary figure, and announced the result without hesi tation. He did it as fast as Oliver Stillwell or tho cashier of a bank could do it I strained my own mind to keep np with him, but could not. Next a little girl, and then I other and another, with now columns every time, and they ware all expert -and ready. They learn this skill from cards that have every combination of i ben, and get so familiar with them that they are read, for any numbers that are written at random on the blackboard. Tboso little chaps could all write well, much better than I can write. Wo went from room to room and there eras excellence in ever; grade, and I thought to myself what a bleasoi ago these children live in when education is so cheap and so thorough—cheap to tho rich and free to the poor. Professor Cobb, who is at the bead of tho achoola in Wilson, is s young man with a bright, intelligent fsco, and seems perfectly happy in showing visitors whit his pupils can do. But as I said, North Carolina is perplexed. Heretofore the whites hare taxed themselves-to sustain the schools for tho whlto children, and the negroes have had to do tho same for their children. Thesehooi fund is not common to both ness. And so as tho ne groes have but little property to bo taxed and never will have, their schools are few and feeble except where they are aidod by col buttons from abroad, lint tho court has elded that the negroes are entitled pro nta part of the Bind, pro nta according to the number of their children without any reference to prop- orty. And so there is some rebellion In tho camp. A man with no children submitted reluctantly to bo taxed to educate other peo ple’, children. This was hard enough whsn those children wore of bis own moo and some of them perhsps akin to him, but whoa his money bus to he expanded upon tho negro, too, ho will not stand it and hence tho graded pnblic schools are in dinger. The patrons will draw ont one by one, and lesvo the achoola without money for the tax involun tary tax assented to by each community and they can vote it down if thoy choose. Well, now the question is what is right. cato another man’s reconciled to either ita juitico or Ita policy, but I surrendered and fell iutoliue, I can sco no mote reason in being foroed to giro my fiftSE'ssrsMSSsyrr* .

If thoy could not got aomo education without my aid, and if it was wsU established that thoir education waa essential to the publlo good then I would fool that tho now aystom ’-ht. But I nover know cbUdron to bs admiaalon toan old Hold school beoauae their fathers could not par. And lam notyot satisfied that education beyond reading and writing and arithmetic is of any advantage to tho colored race. Tha whole aystom has an odor of ccmmuniim about it. I was conversing with a gentleman whoaenda his children to a private school and pays tho teacher, for ho says ho has this right left him—the right to choose his tcicher and hold him responsible— bnt he pays his tax for tho graded achoola and makea no complaint. But now, when that tax baa to be doubled to tako in tho negro children, ho will fool tho oppression and will resist, for ho ia no advocate of doatroylng the contented labor of tho country by educa ting it. As I traveled to Now saw the solicitor general of tl . dal district. Ho waa a -hard looking mulatto and attracted general attention from hia profuso profanity and hlahragadocia. Tho negroes in that district are about five to one of the whites, and they elected this loud mouthed hybrid. I am tala that the bar, who are of the old type of southern gentlemen, have no difficulty in keeping this man within tha bounds of proper behaviour in tha court bouse, but it is certainly mortifylog to think that tho autecratio people or New Berne, the home of tho gifted Gaston and of Stanloy and Vanly, should have to submit to the like of this. Education taught this man tha arts of the demagogue and the pro fane swagger of the vagabond mad not muoh else. I waa told that there is a new color line in Now Bcme, and that it ia extending into the interior—the color line between tho blacks and the mniattoes. The tatter includes all shades between white and black and thay assert their aristocracy both socially and re ligiously. This color lino was at tha bot tom of the late church trouble at Columbia whereby one party refused to give up tho pulpit to tho preacher appointed by tho bishop and in the fight ferposaeas' and two wounded in t Tho mulatto barber wl thorn black niggers had dona tamed him out long ago and they wasn't fit for nothin’ bnt tho cotton field and ought to be than. Ho asked me if Hr. Davtawaa eemlng to Columbia and what subject ho lectured on. When I told him that he did not.leeture at all, he said: “I heard today that he was dm molin' for his Louisiana lottery.’’ “He hu nothing to do with that lottery,’’ eaid I. “Well, don't that lottery belong to the confederate generals?” laid be. This reminds me of the earnest Inquire that an otd gentleman made at Kinston the other day. He uld he wanted to take a good newspaper that didn’t advertise the Louisiana lottery, and ho hadn’t been able to Undone. “Is there no paper In the south;” aid he, “thst is rich enough to do without that kind of money? Is then none that hu solicitude enough shoot the yonng men and morals of this country to coma ont and frown down this demoralising dasiro to gamble and get something for nothing. Why, sir, one- half the yonng men of this country ere going about with a lottery ticket in their pocket and their earnings are going into tho greedy, all devooring mew of that lottery.

They haves good trade then, bnt bntlnou is dnll now and to tho whole town turned out on a Heyday frolic ap the river by steamboat and had a happy day. I was mat at the depot by an old Boman friend, Major Barrett, whom I had not an oyster at the tablo. Now Berne smells fishy. Large, buntifui shad sell for twenty cents a pair and oysters at fifty ceuta a bushel. A friend excited me about the fine sport of fishing and said I must come down in September and go with him trolling fer binefith and Spanish maker- el. Said be, “Yon Just arm yourself with a hook and line and a small white bone with a hole in it, Tho lino is drawn through the bone and it rests Just above the ’ hook and tha big fish mistake It for a little one and make a grab and are caught. Then yen have splendid pulling. Did you ever catch fish on dry lend?” “Of oourto not.” slid I. “Why, it it very common here,” uld he. “Wo sot our aeiuu and nets out on the sloping banks of then rivers end daring the.night the tide rises and covers thorn, and u the tide ebha the fish make for tho failing stream and are caught in tho nines —and there wo leave them until wo can go to the seines on dry land.” Hy friend said that the seines around Now Borne, if all put together, would make a lino four hundred mllc<jong.
