The Norcross Advance. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1873. JAS. P. SIMMONS,/ Fi;tnr , JAS. U. VINCENT. | 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. Two Georgians, nephews of ci-Goveraor Herschel V. Johnson, named James and Benjamin Hardee. were killed recently in R bertaon county, Texas. I bey were taarers of a n te to G. W. Powell, a well known desperado, who, upon reading the communication, iinmoliatclv drew a pistol and shot them dead.

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. STATE NEWS.
