I believe the remark of Canning is entirely true, that'the measure of a people's civiliza tion Is th6 K respect shown to teachers. But there have been many who well marilod the aversion with which they were regarded. A very great deal was said of jvqt- ttlar education by the party who came into power with the reconstruction menaures. Universal education was a plonk in their platform a* prominent as submissive loyalty* itself.

The State Road Lease. This vexed question has at last been settled. The Legislature, after a pa tient investigation and a protracted de bate, refused to disturb the lease. A provision was adopted requiring that the lessees become individually liable on the contract with tlie Stole, and one also providing for a new in ventory of the property turned over to them. We believe the Legislature has acted wisely. The Street Car Case. The Journal of Commerce takes up the decision of Commissioner Wayne ia the street car case, and commends it as “ containing much good sense.’’ Of the negro who first caused the dis turbance, the writer says: ‘‘Two circumstances added to the improprie ty of his conduct: He was an officer under the general government, and should have set an example of civility nliiWefefl, and ’tliq lam grdtft aria wlsa' meil • litkjfif W jirtritefl i'h indelible eharHk tefa’Hn thejiriftals of this institution. ga of the itt framed it of ttefecssity, add the cotririiOn ’tvjshfis of the neople fyiehme the law of the lundJinWr rij^wpe rity and (jv^ri exist-' ei?**#3>D e W rlrifit/rrd on,suitably'forming tlrfflfmiWvSfffiP mpftiis’nf Hiriir citizens.' hfr/rffritls of tiib people in (fv |p?ohdy : disposcd and mi- l, 1 %Yd’ v £hcir corirlifet disht- ^terriirivnt Wfll“rakf- ter, convoisidfipjj rind L’tb'an the' l trila*nnd i‘df natufe 1 Tt shoiild first ol licct8 to Hhe natk ter of Georgia an opportunity of learn ing to read and write, and we become an educated people for all the practi cal purposes of government. The honesty, purity, and intelligence of the people, constitute the firm foundations of a rcpnblkun government.” Said Gov. Charles J, M’Donald: “ The first thing to be regarded in a republic, the virtue of the people ; the second, their intelligence; the fir.-t inspires them with a disposition to do right; the second arm- them with a power to rftsi't wrong.” Liston to the eloquent language bf another great son of Geor gia : “ Education is the friend of the fc*tato. It will elevate the people, it will diminish crime and the expense of executing the law. It will prize out the poor from the miro into which in- nooent poverty lias sunk them, and place them on an intellectual eoualitv with the proud sons of fortune. It will dignify and open new channels for capital. It will disinter thb the min eral wealth of tho State, and add mil lions to the pm Incfions of agriculture. It will bring into tlie fields of science an array <>f mind that will adorn otir escutcheon, and dazzle the world by its achievements-. Away, then, with that narrow stinginess which begrudges a dollar to such a causp, while it is often wasteful of thousands upon ob- jeets that possess little or no merit.” This is the language of the illustrious, th# Hon. Hersoliel V. Johnson. Thus 1 the wi*dom of age, the conclusions of scholarship, the infinite foresight of genius, the divine instincts of pa triotism, the overwhelming logic of Judge Davis denies the recent public assertion that he had disapproved of , . *• . i i tlie Liberal movement, and says that and respectTor law, pace and order. he will publish a letter in a few days, in which he cordially indorses the nomination of Greeley anti Brown.— What else could hc honorably do, after trying his chances before the Cincin nati Convention, but support the nominees of that Convention ? A dispatch says that since the letter of Gerritt Smith, interceding for the impri*oned Ku-Kiux at Albany, simi lar recommendations have been receiv ed from influential Republicans. The report of Colonel Whiteley, Chief of the Secret Service, who has been di rected hy the President to investigate as to the several eases, will be the basis of the President’s action, who has al ready intimated a willingness to com ply with the suggestions made, di^tch°fremKid 13 to tlm London supposing that the negroes are Timet says, King Amadeus has not. as \ ‘"tensely anxious to mix themselves reported by telegraph from that city, j with the whites; whereas they have as signed the decree poviding fora grad- j little natural disposition to do that as the whites have to associate intimately with the negroes. Laws calculated to force them together will be resented by both races, will be ingeniously eva ded in many ways, and cause great trouble and sometimes riots like that which stained the streets of Savannah with blood. Law-making about social equality in cars and hotels is but anoth er of the too familiar examples of the incarcerated in the military prison on folly of over-legislation.

If no stat utes such as Mr. Sunnier proposes are passed, the two races will gradually commingle socially to precisely that extent which is mutually agreeable.— The mistake of the social reformers facts, point out and confirm rhe mighty truth and resistless conclusion tlmt the Suite should edi,’rate the peoplfi.

While he has been devoted to her interests and that of his section, the entire Slate lias received tlie benefit ot bis great zeal and patriotism. A Democrat of the strictest sect, lie bus won tlie hearts ot ninny ot his opponents by his gentlemanly courte sy and knightly bearing towards them. When the Legislature first assembled, the unsettled state of our finances and our enormous bonded debt, was sufficient to appall the stoutest heart. At ti-.at time a speech l»y Mr. McMillan, on thie subject w as so clear as to the duty of the Legislature in the premises, that Oo-.v (Smith, then Speaker of the House, made hint chairman of the uotv famous bond committee. The labors of this commit tee here and in New York in unearthing the frauds of the lute corrupt Bullock ring, are well known to the public.— Their report lias met with universal com mendation fortlie masterly manner in which the field is surveyed and the un answerable arguments presented for the recommendation* of the committee.— During the progress of the debates in the House, as the chairman of tlie committee, he has an-wcicd the numerous queries propounded to hint with great ease and clearness; so much so, that so far no change has Iteeit made in the report, res olutions and bill of the committee. At this time the Xtnto has been relieved of more than seven millions of issued and endorsed bond.*, shown to be fraudulent. While we are gratified at this relief, we arc more pleased at the scrupulous re gard for the integrity and honor of Geor gia which hu« marked i!i - deliberations of the committee. Whenever a doubt has ari.-cn, the Iwuclit of that doubt hits been given the claimant, against the State; and no claim hasln-en rejected ex cept npott the most irresistible array of law and farts agaln*t it.

It has relieved us of a fearful load of debt, and yet the credit of the old Commonwealth remains untarnished. This is only a part of the services ren dered the State by the member front liabcislmui. It every measure lookiug to the development oi the material iu- terests of Georgia, lie has taken un ac tive and prominent part. Mr. McMillan is now in the thirty-first year oi his age—the prime and vigor of manhood—and if we are to judge his fu ture he the past, we predict for him a brilliant and useful career. By L. O.
