TUESDAY HORNING,DECEMBER 17.
Major G. A. MiLi.ER.-Oa yesterday
wo hade adieu with regret to Maj. Mil¬
let, formerly of the “Enquirer” in this
place, and more latterly of the Upson
Pilot., who has been for months past
assisting us in the editorial department
of the “Sun. 1 » In parting with him it
aff ords us unalloyed gratification to ac¬
knowledge our indebtedness to his
sound judgment, ripe experience and
zealous exertions. We shall remember
in kindness his urbanity and patience
1 'Uirhout months of daily toil, and
.‘.mill feel that we have lost a comrade
i u [he contest now waging, upon whose
cot,rage and constancy we could always
nly. wishes
lie lakes with him our best
for his happiness and success, in what
, v. r path of life his footsteps may stray.
Montgomery Mail.—W e observe
that Capt. J. F. Whitfield has dissolved
his proprietorship with that popular
newspaper, the Montgomery Mail. We
arc glad to know that he is retained as
one of the ediiors of the Mail.
Central Kailroad and Banking
Company. —A dividend of five dollars
per share on the capital stock of this
company, has been declared by the Di¬
rectors, from the earnings of the road
for the year ending 30ih uliimo, payable
on and after thelfnb instant, in United
States currency.
A Judicial Farce.— One “Grand
mother iluntor, ” as he is termed by
the Memphis Avalanche, a Brownlow
Judge, a few days since arrested Messrs.
G.dioway, Gluskey and Bliea, editors oi
...tt Avalanche, and Imprisoned them
ioi contempt. When the prisoners
i.;v brought up ior a hearing, the on
tllC bar of Memphis volunteered in their
. •;cn.ee, and “Grandmother Hunter”
• okud exceedingly worried. The Ava
mche reiterates the opinion that Huu
' ,-r’s Court is an “object of contempt at
d times and in all places.”
Frauds on the 1’. O. Department.
The New York Tribune Hies into a
fit of virtuous indignation because some
'Congressmen of that city made an Im¬
proper use of the franking privilege
during the recent municipal contest.
! Jays out as follows :
A correspondent reminds us that dur¬
ing the municipal;campaign iu this ciiy,
the franks of Members of Congress used
by the two Democratic candidates to
Miud their circulars free through the
BIS were not written, but stamped,
•on the envelopes, lie calculates that
- ic Host-Office lost about $3,000 by lids
. i-rly unpardonrble misuse oi a law
uieh is bad enough even when legiti
* • eiy applied. Mr. Wood and Mr.
e hauler are mentioned by our corres¬
pondent as the offending Uengressman,
but they are not thu only ones. Hon. Wo
ive also seen the flank of the
John Fox similarly prostituted.
If the Tribune is honest about this
matter, we would be pleased to havo it

H is been swindled out of by Broomal),

South ?
Death of Isaac Scott.— The many
/lends of Mr. Isaac Scott were startled
yesterday by a telegram from New York
unouucing his death. He died in the
latter city, after a very brief illness, at
eight and a half o’clock, Friday night,
the I8th instant .—Macon Tel
Iht- Tuscuwbia Times says:
We hear it whispered about, that
H- n. R. M. Fation will be run ior Cou
gress by the moderate men of the late
Convention, from this (Oth) Congress
ion:,; District. Bingham, Huughey,
Skinner and Peters will of course op¬
pose him.
----«**----—
Plea Ruled Out.—Iu a recent suit
against ati express company for the loss
of a trunk entrusted to its care, tbe com¬
pany set up in defence the declaration
on tho check that it would not be re¬
sponsible for tne contents beyond $100,
alleging that this operated as a contract.
• We are glad to see that tno court made
short work of this plea. Quite a num¬
ber of our railroads have the same clause
on thqir tickets. Of course the hold¬
er only comes in possession of the “con¬
tract’’ after has bought his ticket, and
when ho cannot back out if he wishes.
His consent to the contract is not asked,
nor has he any means of knowing what
it is until alter he has made it I This is
absurd. If our railroads or express
companies decline to take property of
very great value, that is one thing—
they nave a right, we suppose, so to do.
Bur if they it they must be responsible
for us sate keeping.—JV. T Times.
The “ Carpet-Baggers.” — The
hL-clgomery Mail bus bestowed this
name upon the volatile patriots who
come irom the North to reconstruct the
riouiu upon a proper basis. It is an
au expressive appellation. The mau

Look First on This Picture and
Then on Thnt.
The New Rork Times of the 10th, in
its comments on the proceedings of tho
ilacon Convention, says;
Higher than this the conservatism of
Georgia appears unable to rise, I’ro
testing that it has been fully misrepre¬ it
sented and cruelly misunderstood,
nevertheless makes no concealment ot
its desire to re-establish a white suprem¬
acy as absolute, politically, as that
which existed seven years ago. Pro¬
fessedly outraged by the legislation
which confers "power ou the comply freed men, in
it evinces no disposition to
any respect with Hie requirements of
the policy which affirms the civil and
political equality of the races. No
modification of conditions is asked—
only an entire reversal of the policy
to which Congress is pledged. No idea
of compromise is 'propounded—only a
demand that the opponents of Congress
shall dictate its course.
What can be done in Congress with
or for a class who thus assert the auth¬
ority of conquerors, and systematically
obstruct tbe machinery by which the
South may be brought back into the
Union ?
When a convention asserts as its fun¬
damental maxim “that this is a Govern¬
ment of color and race,” it does much
toward forfeiting its right to be heard
in political discussions which have been
remoulded by the events of the war. It
is idle to dispute tbe legal equality
whieh forces more potent than speeches
or resolutions have established. And
it is not less idle to look lor help as
against black rule, when tbe avowed
object of those who denounce it is to
establish supremacy based on color.
The same paper dated November 4th,
says : Radical
It is very evident that the
leaders intend to commit tbe Republi¬ Na¬
can party to tbe new doctrine of
tional Suffrage, and thus 10 force it
upon the country. Tho pretentious
proiiuuciamento of Mr. Stevens, the
passionate demands of Wendell Phil¬
lips, the ground taken and the language
used by the Tribune, the Washington
Chronicle and other Radical organs,
leave no room to doubt that Congress
will bo called on to enact a law strip¬
ping the States of all control over
suffrage, and declaring who may and
who may not vote in every State of the
Union. And, ol course, the first effort
will be to force this upon the Repub¬
lican party, and compel every one w ho
desires to rank as a “good Republican,”
and to escape condemnation as a Cop¬
perhead and rebel, to give it Ills support.
Tbe ground on which Mr. Stevens
attempts to base this movement is
simply absurd. lie asserts that “the
elective franchise ranks wi;U life and
liberty in its sacred, inaleinable charac¬
ter”—that the authors of “the Declara¬
tion of Independence Fathers so “intended” regarded it,
and that our to
create a Continental Empire, based upon
that principle. As a matter of historical
fact, this assertion Is uterly untrue.—
There is not a particle of evidence to
show that the framers of our Govern
ment had any such intentions, or held
any such opinions.
But, Mr. Stevens’ position is not only
historically false, it is intrinsically ab¬
surd. If “the elective franchise ranks
with life and libeity in its sacred, inal¬
ienable character,” as he says it does,
then it must rank with them also in its
universality. inalienable Every human being who
has an right to “life and
liberty," elective must havo an inalienable right
to franchise. No limitations
can be affixed in tho one case which do
not belong to the other. Now life and
liberty belong, as “sacred, inalienable
rights,” to women and children, as weli
as to men, to aliens and “Indians not
taxed,” as well as, to citizens; would
Mr. Stevens insist that the elective fran¬
chise belongs to them, in the same way
and by tbe same title ? He would prob¬
ably say that a limit must be fixed
somewhere for tbe sake of good govern¬
ment ; but, in so saying he surrenders
the whole argument.
These two pictures when contrasted
need no comment. The argument of
the first extract is answered by the sec¬
ond and tho position of the South is
fully Justified oven though Mr. Ray¬
mond, Republican as lie is, should dc
determine the question.
A Criminal and Perilous Curios¬
ity. —The African leopard catches and
destroys the antelope curiosity. through Concealing an appeal
to this animal’s
himself in the long grass or among the
leaves of green branches fallen or trail¬
ing on the ground, his ho awaits the ap¬
proach of intended victim, lie
knows that curiosity and is a weakness of
the autelope ; when the graceful
creature comes near the cunning foe he
slits the green covering, which attracts
the closer inspection of the antelope.
In another moment the leopard springs
upon the incautious visitor, and lays the
bleeding carcass at his feet. Wo are
reminded almost daily of this artful de¬
stroyer by the folly and ruin of a wick¬
ed and dangcrouB curiosty among men.
The devil is the busy and successful
leopard of souls. Behind the curtain
of the theatre, the bar, tho attractive
counter of skeptical and corrupt litera¬
ture, and the door of fallen virtue, he
lurks, and whispers to the young, “On¬
ly once,” to see what is there. A glass
to please a friend ; a volume or two of
error, “to learn both sides” of religious
belief; a poisouod novel to while away
*£•*"!' 5 * healthful ride or walk on
the Sabbbath to enjoy the norksoi
miture”~all of these and many more
disguises have concealed the fangs of
tue soul’s enemy, until the sinner has
been taken captive by Satan at bis will
to taste the bitterness ot the “second
death. Christians have need to heed
' 3° esR0I Ji it is related ot

is there less fee mg of responsibly

we may judge by the manner ol life.

An Old Coin.—T ho Wilmington
Journal of yesterday says :—“We have
been shown by a gentleman a relic of
the earlier days of (he Republic, in the
shape of a copper coin of the denomina¬
tion of one cent, bearing date of 17So.
On one side is a head, intended, wc
suppose, to represent the Great Cheif
tain and Father of his Country, who
then occupied the Presidential' chair,
and with whose praises the whole coun
try resounded. Above is the inscrip
tiou, and below ‘Washington and Independence,'
the date. On the other side
the Goddess ot Liberty is represented, , :
seaud upon her car, wfth the pole and
cap iu baud, and the horn of pientv be
Side her. ‘United States’ appears in 1
full letter above. AVe venture the as
sertion preserved, that but few of these coins are j
«ow and can justly be re
garded as great curiosities."

[COMMCXICATED. ]
Thu Public School.
Daniel Webster said, , “If I had
once
as many sons as old I nam, 1 would
send them all to the Public Schools,”
thus recognizing the superiority of tho
public school syotern over all others.
These public schools are not poor
schools, they are not charitable institu
tions any more than a court house,
market, city &r. hall, pub ic gardens, libra
nes, parks, They are schools States, es
tublishcd by cities, counties, or
for the public good, like bridges and
roads. The necessity of education is as
much recognized as roads lor travel,
therefore the proper authorities proceed
to furnish the means. These schools
exift ail through the educated portions
of Europe, and through tna ’Northern,
Middle and Western States of the Lni
ted States. In the Soutnem states, this
side of Maryland, there are but few.
Our condition now demands an estab
lishuient of these schools ail over the
country, resulting as they will, in a
permanent public good.
They are designed for all classes,
rich and poor. Go into one ot them at
the North and you wi.l find the son ot
ft miliionare sitting by the side oi the
street beggar. No distinctions; all
meet in the school room as equals;
gradations in lank only aiisicg irom
gentlemanly deportment and intellec
tual superiority. You do not find, as
many seeai to imagine, a mixed crowd
ot the vulgar, idle, vicious classes,
where the pure and good become sul
lied, and an unwholesome taait per
vados the whole. As it is not a charity
school, so it is not a reformatory school.
rhe notoriously profligate will not be
admitted ; the immoral and the wrong
doer are expelled. Judicious laws are
rigidly enforced ; moral restraints are
thrown around to aid human frailty,
hut when neither encouragement to do
nght nor fear to do wrong avails, the
public schools ib not the place tor the
olTenders, but the houses of industry,
Correction, prisons, &c., sh<>uld relieve
society of them. 1 he public schools are
Intended for the education of tho poo
pie. I hey must bo ol such a character
as to commend themselves to the confi
delict; ol the people, lienee any influence :
tending to impair coulidenee must bo
removed.
No parent in Columbus need tear any
corrupting bias irom the public school
not found in other schools, i nor indeed
So much, for the laws forbid the asseni
bling of Ibe scliohu a»at tile school before
tbe bell rings ; at ic-cess they are to rc or'j |
main within the inclosure, and one
more teachers to be with lbein, and
wlieu school closes they are to go home, j
Tbe School laws operating on them on
their way to and Irom school. |
Ill the public schools n change of
teachers produces un change iu text j
books ; no new and strange methods of j
been discipline established, and teaching. whose A merits system rest has j |
upon the combined experience and ivis
dom of tho best educators in this coun¬
try and Europe. In medicine, diseases
are all classified, and appropriate reme¬
dies given ; malting the science of medi¬
cine a complete, though imperfect sys¬
tem, to which the sound judgment of
each observing physician may bring |
something valuable. Bo education can •
be brought to a system, studies arrang¬
ed, and the best methods of teaching
given. Each scientific teacher can add
his own successful experience to the
commoii stock.
Lawyers continually meet at the bar
when they give and receive instruction;
physicians constantly advise with each j
other ; theologians frequently meet in
their ecclesiastical assemblies. Person¬
al contact, interchange of ideas, clasp
oi opinions arc so many contributions
to the common system. Thus in tbe
public schools ; tbe teachers meet in
the Normal class, assemble in teachers’
Institutes, conventions, &c., preserving
tbe system as a whole and harmonizing
element apparantly discordant. Tho
young teacher is not left lo his own re¬
sources ; a broad road is open before
him, and a helping hand is extended to
him iu all difficult places. Tho capac¬
ities of all are thus in a great measure
equalized. Hence we-find little or no
difference in the teaching qualifications,
under the public school system, between
males and females. The enormous and
useless expense of buying new text
books to suit now teachers, which par¬
ents all over this country have had to
endure, is effectually removed.
Ou the score of economy, tho expense
to the individual parent is nothing, or
some nominal sum. The whole expense
as provided one-fourth by the civil authorities is
less than per scholar, than
that which parents pay at private
schools. Public schools should bo fos¬
tered as a measure ofpolitical economy.
It is tbe only way to educate tbe
masses, and it is a well established fuct,
that ns public intelligence increases,
the virtues increase and the vices de¬
crease ; thus lessening the expenses
necessary for police jails, court houses,
pauperism, and the thousand other ills
inflicted by the vicious upon every com¬
munity. These truths have been so lar
recognized in the jurisprudence of some
governments, as to require by law all
children between certain ages to attend
school. G. M. D.
