Broad Mlrrrt Yesterday.
Moat of our merchants seemed to be
very busy the better portion of yester
day, those on Broad street especially.
Trade was unusually good,and it seemed
as if business bad just opened for the
season. The grocery men were all in
good humor, from what cause we know
not. Whether their “spirits were
raised by spirits going down” or by the
amount sold is a problem we can’t
solve.
Merchants and planters from most
all the neighboring counties were to lie
seen paying up and purchasing quite
liberally. One wo saw who had a
trifle too much benzine and wanted all
the sidewalk, but he was placed in a
wagon and driven off by some friends,
thus saving the trouble to an officer of
locking him up.
About four o’clock in the afternoon
two wagons loaded with cotton came
up the street, which attracted much at
tention. The first had ten bales on it
and was drawn by six very fine mules,
while the second had eight bales and
1 rawoi by four equally as flue animals.
We were told that it was the property
of Mr. Joe Huff, whose plantation is
about three miles south of the city.
The ladies w'ero out purchasing—well
we don’t know' what. The dear crea
tures get so many odd looking arrange
ments, that for this reporter to explain
W'hat they are and for what purpose in
tended would be a most difficult under
taking.

This religious body, Bishop Geo. F.
Pierce, presiding meets at Talbotton to

For some time past parties in the city
have been losing clothing by thefts
made by negroes. They find out who
your washerwoman is and then •'all on
Monday after the clothes saying they
were sent for them by ber. Several
•parties in the lower portion of the city
have been thus fooled and lost clothing
thereby. Officers have been informed
as to the facts and will doubtless cap
ture some of them before many days.

Some ladies report to us, that, while
returning to the eity yesterday after
noon from Wynnton, as they neared
the culvert of the N. W. R. R., on East
commons, they w r oro met by a man in a
buggy, driving a grey mule. The man
after passing, drew a pistol and com
menced tiring. The liorsoH to the ladies
carriage wore frightened, and were with
difficulty controlled by the driver. The
ladies wore terribly frightened thfcin-
solvos, at first supposing tlie man was
tiring at them, as they saw, when he
passed, Unit he w as drunk.
Such conduct should not bo passed
unnoticed, and the authorities should
hoc to it that drunken men are not per
mitted without punishment to endanger
tlie lives of citizens by w'antonly firing
oft* their pistols, thereby frightening
horses attached to vehicles Ailed with
women and children.
Too much w'hiskey is no oxcuso for
such conduct, and we call the attention
of the authorities to the matter.
City Light Guard*.
At a mooting last evening this com
pany voted to join the Columbus
Guards in a festival Christmas week,
A committee of tivo, consisting of Lieu

Sergeants Baldwin, Lai latte and Le-
quln were appointed to confer w’ith a
similar committee from the Columbus
Guards, of which Lieu ton ant Clapp is
chairman, for the purpose of prefooting
arrangements.
We predict this festival will be the
most enjoyable and entertaining of any
ever had in our town. We wish the
soldier boys success, and hope they will
realize enough to put them on a peace
footing.
Return lo Old Custom*.
The First Presbyterian church of till
city havo disbanded their choir and
gone back to the “good old way
congregational singing, using a little
cabinet organ which is placed inline
diately in front of the pulpit. This is a
move in the right direction, many
think, and will enable many to -take
part in the worship of song and to par
ticipate in its sympathetic influence
who have heretofore been debarred such
enjoyment. ^

Haaday Night.
Mr. Mayor :
The minority report oftlieCoinmittee
on Public Schools does credit to its
author, justice to the Trustees and
teachers of your Public Schools and
reflects the sentiments of a large ma
jority of tills Board.
I am aware, sir, that a diversity of
opinion exists in the public mind, both
in regard to the usefulness of the
Schools, and also in the management.
This, sir, is not at all strange. Men
differ upon almost every Important
question, and I doubt whether any
question, vital to the interest of tlie
city, could be presented to its citizens,
In which all would agree, either on tlie
general plan, or as to the best mode of
carrying it into effect. It is not to be
supposed that because a mail differs
with you on any question of public in
terest, that he is not equally honest with
yourself, or equally desirous of the
public good. Every honest opinion
should be respected, but, sir, respecting
an opinion is one thing, adopting it is
quite another. I shall in as brief a man
ner as possible, give my views ou this
question, and in doing so, endeavor to
correct some wrong impressions that
prevail, to some extent, in regard to
the schools.
It is an error, that none are admitted
to tho school except they pay the ad
mission fee. Tlie report beforo you
corrects that error. Any child unable
to pay the price of admission, can, by
application to any of the Trustees ob
tain an order for admission. Again, it
has been reported “that one hundred
children have been turned away, be
cause tlioy did not know the alphabot,”
’ ti-s true our rules strictly construed re
quires this; ’tis equally true that many
arc admitted at tlie commencement of
tlie scholastic year, who do not perfect
ly know tlio alphabet. These formed
in a class, soon learn to spell words of
one syllable. As each teacher in this
grade has from 40 to 50 soholars in her
room, it will bo readily perceived that
she could not now receive beginners
without an additional teacher—which
would add to the complained of ex
pense. Bo far, however, from one hun
dred being turned away from { j tills
cause, tho Superintendent assures me
that not ten have been thus refused
and of these, some have returned after
learning the alphabet at homo.
Of tlie High School I need not speak.
The report before you not only shows
that it is self-sustaining but lias its
benefleiaries who participate in all its
advantages free of cost.
Tlie objection that tlie Public Schools
interferes witli private enterprise is in
this day too absurd to be met by argu
ment. It is the old complaint of the Htage
horses against railroads, or tlie older
one of Micali against the Danites, “Ye
have taken away my goods and what
have I more.”
Sir, ’tis a universal maxim “That all
partial evil is a general good.”
I now come to tlie more serious, be
cause more plausable, objection, “that
you have lie right to tax one man to
educate another's child.” This objection
jias been answered by the master minds
of every civilized nation, and it would
be presumption in mo to attompt an ar
gumeiit upon it.
Sufficient to say that perfect equality
in sharing tlie benefits, or, bearing, tlio
burthenx of society, never has, nor will
bo attained <>.
The expense of the Judiciary, the
most expensive (I believe) of any de
partment of Government, is borne
wholly by tlie tax payers. Yet all par
take of its benefits and may claim its
protection.
Many men of wealth are unknown to
your court dockets, who yet dwell se
euro In person and property, only lie
cause tlio court exists.
Fortune’s wheel in its ceaseless roll,
brings many changes. Tlie rich mail of
this decade, may bo tlio poor one of tlie
next and tlie beneficiary of the day, may
even in our time be the man of wealth
to whom some of our descendants may
sue for the priceless boon we now be
stow upon them. .
The benefits of tlio Public Schools to
this community cannot be estimated by
dollars nor expressed in words. Its
graduates number 212, whilst probably
2,500 others, either from inclination or
necessity, have left without a diploma,
many of them so far advanced in their
studies as to qualify them for any of
the ordinary avocations of life.
Ho apparent wero tlie benofits of these
schools to our Impoverished people that
for the first seven or eight years of their
existence, no one was found bold
enough to attack them. The mutter
ing thunder heard in the distance for
tlie last year or two culminated din
ing tlie lost summer in a newspaper
attack, and I regret to say in tlio dis
cussion that followed statements were
made not warranted by facts, and a re
traction refused when tho error was
pointed out.
A petition was presented to this Boar
at its meeting last September asking its
to adopt an ordinance offered by Alder
man Nuckolls, at our previous mooting,
and requesting us to reduce the school
appropriation to $5,000 for the coming
year. That petition contained forty
eight names, many of them moil
wealth, and all highly respectable. The
children of twelve of the signers hod
finished their education—sonic of tlioui
at tlie Public School; fourteen of them
hiel no children, and five own no
estate.
Tlieordinance referred to niode)alinost
an entire change in your school system
Under its provision nbout two him
dred children would have been de
prlved of its benefits. Charging no ad
mission fee, $2,200 would be lost to the
city, and instead of a public school you
would have had a poor school. Fur
nishing books for both white and col
ored tlio first year (the colored now
furnish tlielr own books, but pay noth
ing for tuition), at a cost of about $500
each year, tho account would stand for
the proposed change—
the petition referred to wss signed, you
.,uld lose ;°ee by the change.
Tlie ordinance of Alderman Nicholls
seems to me to be intended to tmtler-
ininc and destroy the fair fabric which
seems to prop. A good general never
first attacks the citadel of the fort he
hopes to capture, The pickets are first
driven in, the redoubts stormed, and
hen the outworks are all taken tlie
citadel ordinarily falls as a matter of
course.
Your tax-payer would soon tire of
supporting a school which he would
not allow his children to attend. Nor
would I accept such a school were I
assured of its premanency. It would be
Samsoin shorn of his locks, or the
wretch broken upon the wheel. So
crippled that the coup de grace would
be a mercy to him. It would be
the first step leading to the commune,
and never will 1, by any act of mino,
antagonize capital and labor. We all
look back upon our school days as tho
happiest of our lives; there some of
our most lasting friendships have been
formed. Erect no barriers between the
rielt and the poor in their happy school
days. Let them sit side by side on the
same form, con their lessons from
the same books,share each other’s lunch
and join in the same wild sports
during their happy recess hour, and
there will be formed in their youthful
hearts, friendships that no after adver
sity can sever.
But, sir, we ars told “that we are
poor.” Grant it, sir; but woare not too
poor to procure the necessaries of life,
and education I hold to be one of those
necessaries. If retrenchments must be
made, let it not commence here. Rather
would I see your police discharged,
much as I would regret it. We would
stjli have our courts, our sheriffs, and
marshnls, and bailiffs. Or cut off the
gas from your, streets, better that we
sliotild grope our way in darkness du-
ing tlie hours of night than withhold
tlie light of education from our sons
and daughters. Better almost anything
than that.
Sir, I have been connected with the
Public School from its first organiza
tion—since the removal from your city
of its first President, Dr. DeVotie, have
been honored as his successor. Anx
ious as I am for their prosperity, I have
watched with a jealous eye every at
tempt to cripple or break them down;
perhaps have sometimes been intem-
porate in my zeal n their support. As
President, I have’slgned the diplomas
of its graduates, and to me it is a proud
satisfaction that my name, hardly
known beyond the limits of your city,
will be held in grateful remembrance
by many of the sons and daughters of
your city, upon whom tlie Public
Schools have conferred such lasting
benofits.

Wonderfully strange that human be
ings become so desperate as to take
each other’s life, even* while sailing
through the air! Desperate, indeed,
has our race become. Abandoned, un
cared for, as many wives are, disease,
slow and insidious, claim* her, and she
soon becomes prostrated and indiffer
ent to all surroundings. Her cheeks
are no longer aglow, her robust consti
tution is feeble and emaciated. But
there is a wonderful medicine known
as English Female Bitters, which is a
quick and powerful female regulator
and uterine tonic, and cures all such
female complaints.^ dell d&wlw
