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.

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 tenant Bin ford, Lieutenant Burma, 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. ^ L*ok Out for t'lirlstmu* !

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.
