EDUCATION A L INTEREST.
We propose to give special at
tention in the columns ol the Ad
vance to the educational interest
of the State, ami we therefore so
licit the views of all teachers
upon subjects of School interest.
The Advance is now read by a
large number of tiie best educa
tors in Georgia, and has a circula
tion m the best schools in .the
Northern and Northwestern part
of the State. He who teaches
with success must keep up with
the improvements in text books
and in the methods of instruction.
We are in receipt constantly of
new text books and we shall
review these critically and give
our co-laborers an honest- opin
ion of the same. We shall also
discuss the different methods of
instruction, and when requested,
should give our own method of
teaching any branch taught in our
High School. We ask the same
of other teachers to whom the
columns of the Advance are open.
An interchange of ideas will
prove beneficial to the education
al interests of the country.
SECRETARY RICHARDSON’S
ORDER TO SPINNER.
Wash inoton,Oc t. 28. —Secret ary
Richardson's order to Treasurer
Spinner, directing the payment of
silver, is as follows: “You will
please, on and after the receipt of
this letter, and until otherwise
ordered, pay the public creditors,
should they desire it, on account
of currency obligations, but not
in exchange for currency, a sum
not to exceed five dollars in any
one payment in silver coin.”
Oh, most wonderful! Hie United
States Treasury Department has
resumed specie payments in “ a
sum not to exceed five dollars in
any one payment in silver coin.”
If perchance the reader presents
a draft for one million dollars at
the Treasury Department of the
United States for payment, he will
receive nine hundred and ninety
nine thousand nine hundred and
ninety-five dollars in greenbacks,
and, “a sum not to exceed five
dollars in any one payment in
silver coin.”
Ah, Richardson, yon are a dar
ing financier, a bold, clear-headed,
patriotic statesman in “a sum not
to exceed five dollars in any one
payment in silver coin.’’
What a stroke of policy! what a
profound depth of financial ability
is displayed in “a sum not to ex
ceed five dollars in any one pay
ment in silver coin.”
Verily, Henry Clews & Co. were
right when they announced the
solemn truth that the re-election
of General Universal Salvation
Grant was absolutely necessary
to the resumption of specie pay
ments in “a sum not to exceed
five dollars in any one payment in
silver coin.”
Surely the country is safe!
Surely the great Republican par
ty should command the reverence
the gratitude, tike profound re
spect and love of the hundreds of
thousands of working men who,
by (he crushing financial policy
of General Unnecessary Smash
Grant, are now without employ
ment, save to sing hosannahs in
“a sum not to exceed five dollars
in any one payment in s Ivor coin."
All the working men understand
it. Witness the election in Ohio,
late Republican, now Democratic..
The long, cold drearry winter
months are upon us,with thuosands
of working men out of employ
me nt, and with no chance to vole
themselves back pay. Their
wives and children must shiver
with the cold and suffer for food.
Charge, it homo where it belongs,
to the bungling stupidity of the
Republican party. That party
controls the financial polity of the
Government, the policy which has
brought this great country to the I
verge of general bankruptcy, and
threatens to starve the wnkmen'
and their families in the midst of.
plenty.
Charge home their crimes to:
their authors, the Republican par j
ly. Grant and his Cabinet. Fas- |
ten the millions lost, the suffer
ing that will sw ftly follow, that
even now is upon ns, to the ad
ministration, and when the work
ing men of the country are called
upon to cast their votes, they will I
sweep the criminal blunderers
out ot power.
And now comes Richardson I
(the name has a metalie sound),l
the chosen financier of the i.e- j
publican party, who restores con
fidenee and saves the country, in ■
a “sum not to exceed five dollars
in any one payment in silver coin."
THE DEVIL'S SLAVES AND
TRICKS.
We take the following from the
Atlanta Constitutin for the pur
pose of approving every w ord they
say about that case, and of making
a suggestion to our readers of a
moral lesson of much practical
value to be derived from it. 01
Dr. Munsey's case we know noth
ing, except what we learn from
that article, but from our confi
dence in the sound discretion and
justice loving proclivities of the
Constitution's editors, we take it
as granted that their views of its
merits are correct.
Whether this be so or not, how
ever, is not material, so far as the
use we wish to make of the case is
concerned. We desire to call at
tention to the painful fact, that
any and every pretext which can
be found, by a large class of peo
ple, in which are included by far
too many newspaper editors, to
asperse the fair fame of a pious
Christian, and especially if he be
a minister ol’ the gospel, is siezed
upon with an avidity and retailed,
or heralded abroad as with a
fiendish delight.
And it is still more to be regret
ted that numbers of other branch
es of the church than the one co
which the unfortunate victim be
longs, are often heard gleefully to
repeat the vilest slanders of that
sort
Why is this so? We answer it is
a natural outgrowth of the enmity
which exists on the part of the
hosts of satan against Christ and
his followers. When indulged in by
professed Christians, it is an evi
dence that they are not free from
the influence of our old father, she
devil. The pleasure which the lat
ter class of traducers enjoy from
pedling such falsehoods is,in many
cases, derived from the mortifica
tion it inflicts on members of the
church to which the injured party
is attached, and, as it is to be
hoped, done without thinking of
the damage thereby accruing to
the general interests of Christ's
cause,whom they profess to serve.
If Christians can ever be in
duced to read their several church
creeds less, and their Bibles more,
and to love the Saviour and all
who love him, as they should (and
soon would by such change of
thought and reading), satan would
be Geprived ot this means of as
sault upon Christ and his minis
ters.
That is the sort of Christian
Union for which we labor, and
one of the many blessed results
for which we hope:
Rev. Dr. M. E. Munsey.—For
some weeks past rumois con
cerning this great and distinguish
ed divine of the M. E. Church
South, have been going the rounds
of the press,designating him as a
common drunkard and a fallen
man. Dr. Munsey is one of the
finest pulpit orators in the coun
try—one who has led a blameless
life, and made himself a tower of
strength among the people of the
church. In consequence of great
nervous prostration and being
threatened several times with
paralysis, his physician advised
the use of stimulants, which has
proved beneficial to his impaired
health.
A great active mind like Dr.
Munsey's often shatters the tier
vous system, especially when the
brain is overworked as is often
the case in such instances. This
circumstance of his having been
compelled to resort to stimulants,
temporily, has afforded the op
portunity to slanderers to traduce
his good name, and to make it
necessary for Dr. M. to publish a
letter of defense.
The doctor says he is not a home- •
less and houseless wanderer as '
ha< often been represented; that
he has clothing ami friends, and j
that he is not in a state of penury !
nor dependent upon the contribu
tions ot anyone; that he is not
insane, but hopes to resume his
labors in a short time, lie pre
sents in his letter sufficient tes
tiniony in the shape of certificates ’
to set at rest the villainous slan
ders that have been perpetrated
upon his good name and tame, and
says that he can fill a whole news i
paper edition with like testimony.
ft is a shame that the honor and
ministerial integrity of so good a
I man would be traduced by the
I foul tongue of slander; and he who j
i would be guilty of such slander \
i ought to reap the execution of all
honest men.

MRS. WESTMORELAND AND
WOMAN’S RIGHTS.
Mrs. Maria Jourdan Westmore
land came to the platform, and,
looking like one of Titian’s high
born dames, said in a sweet and
low, but distinct tone of voice,
that there was ? great necessity
for close union between the wo
men of the North and Struth. She
hoped that lecturers would be
sent through the South in order
to awaken the ladies of that sec
tioip to immediate action. Mrs.
Maria Westmoreland further sta
ted that she would gladly give
any lecturers letter of introduc
tion to the first people of the
South in order to further the com
mon object.
Mrs. Westmoreland, of Atlanta,
Georgia, spoke on the condition
of Southern women : she said she
knew them well enough to know
that if the papers of this Congress
had been read in the South, it
would arouse them; that they
would not be quiet until they had
the ballott.— N. Y. Herald'
Thus it seems that the hungry
heart of the authoress of “Heart
Hungry” is not yet satiated. Hav
ing poured outits fill of poisonous
sentimentalism and sickly unrest
in a volume that either disgusted
or tainted its readers, she now
hankers after the low-born aspi
rations of the crazied vissionaries
and fancy-mongers of the land of
isms. The poisoned mind loves
the deathly drug; the poisoned
heart yearns for the poisoning
dose. Had Mrs. Westmoreland
studied the vagaries of fanciful
novelists less and the philosophy
of home more, Heart Hungry
would not have had birth. Had
she loved the nauseate sensation
alism of a deranged intelectuali
ty less, and the purity, the no
bleness, and the inborn virtue of
Southern womanhood more, she
would not now be North, clamo
ring for the perquisites of the wo
man’s-rights moment. It is not
strange she has found her home
at the North. Her progressive
ideas offeminal masculinity find
no reciprocity in this land ol
genial sunshine and nectarine
Howers; her low-aimed aspira
tions find no congeniality in the
contented hearts of ouvdearSouth
ern women.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM
The advocates of th§ Common
School Law held second, that it
would put an Education within
the reach of all children. This
proposition is so preposterous we
notice it only through courtesy
to its advocates. To putauedu
j 1
cation within the reach of all the
children in the state would requiie
an expenditure of money sufll
cient to board and clothe and de
fray’ all school expenses of one
third of the entire population of
the State. A majority of the chil
dren in Georgia are compelled to
support themselves and the fami
lies to which they belong just at
the age when they should be at
tending school. To educate these,
the State must not only pay their
tuition fees, but it must support
them and the large families to
which they belong. This propo
sition requires no argument, for
its truth is patent to the most cas
ual observers. There is another
large class of children in Georgia
who do not care for an education,
and who are permitted by their
pa cuts to idle away their time in
the streets and around home.—
This class can never be educated
except by a system of compulsory
education on the part of the State
and the lodgment of this compul
sory power in the government L
inconsistent with the spirit of our
republican institutions and mon
archy will follow in i’s wake. i
There are other formidable ob ta- j
cles in the way of educating all i
the children in the State which'
we will not now mention. It is evi- '
•lent to any one who has investi- ■
gated the subject, that Georgia
cannot now operate a system of
universal education, nor can she
put an education within the reach i
ot all children by the expenditure >
ot less than one dollar per scholar I
for a term of three months. Men '
and women competent to educate
others do not and cannot labor
for such small wages. Those who
pretend to teach tor such wages
are illiterate themselves, and
therefore incapable of educating
others.
It was held, third, that the Com
mon School Law of Georgia would
stop emigration and induce ini- 1
migration. It is a notorious tact
that it has neither diminished the
former, nor increased the latter.
Men who emigrate,consider cheap
fertile lands of more importance
to them and their children than
a -mattering education, and men
who are wor.h anything to a
commonwealth must be induced
to immigrate by caus.s para
mount to a three months free
school. Those who argued that
the Common Sehcds of Gergin *
would induce immigration, should
learn more of the proffered ad
vantages of the Great West, and
much more still of people in their
individual and aggregate capaci
ties. It is short sighted states
manship that ignores the adapta
tion of means to ends in any legis
lative action, and it is at best
but a maudlin philanthropy that
inaugurates any system for the
general good with means totally
inadequate to its consummation.
Especially is this true when this
inefficient system converts self
reliance and individual activity
into an enforced mutual depen
dence and a general non-activity.
Such is the Common School Sys
tem of Georgia. Those who ad
vocated its enactment misconceiv
ed its immediate influence upon
the people, inasmuch as its antici
pated results have not been real
ized; and that they also miscon
ceived its remote results may be
come evident in the further in
vestigation of the subject. In our
next article, however, on this sub
ject we shall assume tha« the
immediate results of the Common
School System have proved per
nicious to the educational inter
ests of the State.
