NatumalUqrablican acousta. »a. — SUNDAY MORNING-. .■I.-Wwwy »■ 1~~ ~~+ g £ i * For PRESIDENT Op tiik United States: ULYSSES S. CRAW. [communicated. the COUNTY MEAL STORE. Mr. Editor . —We arc informed—using the language of the recent Qraml Jury— we are informed that the Judges of the Inferior Court have it in contemplation to close up the meal store and issue no more rations to the poor. They have been led to this action by the presentments of the recent well informed Grand Jury. Do Grand Juries stop to think ? It ap pears not; for had they inquired into the merits of what they in their wisdom con demn, they would have found that the “widowed and orphaned, by the advice of the rich and well-to-do,” are now to be turned out on the highways and byways to starve. Who promisad the enlisting Con federate soldiers that their families would be fad while they were away laying down their lives for “their country ?” Who has worked the poor old negro men and women until now, when they are too old to help themselves, and then turn them out on the cold charity of the people repre sented by the “Grand Juries?'’ We have seen letters from gentlemen recommending the bearer to the Inferior Court as being “destitute, and formerly my slave, but has too many children!” Oh, gratitude ! oh, generosity ! And, to crown all, they want „ the poor, destitute Confederate widow and orphan, and the poor old slave, turned out to die. Oh, generous Grand Jury! wise Grand Jury ! Justice.

Summary of the recommendations made by the General Agent in his Report to the Trustees of the Peabody Education al Fund, at their meeting held in Rich mond, Va., January 21,1868. and approved by them. It was recommended : 1. That in promoting “primary or com mon school education,” we confine our selves, as far as possible, to public schools. 2. Instead of supporting small schools in the country, or helping to support them by paying the tuition for poor children, we limit ourselves to rendering aid to schools where large numbers can be gathered, and where a model system of schools can be organized. 3. That, other things being equal, we give the preference to places which will, by their example, exert the widest influ ence upon the surrounding country. 4. That we aim at the power and efficacy of a limited number of such schools in a given locality, rather than at the multiplica tion of schools languished for want of suffi cient support 5. 'J bat we make efforts, in all suitable ways, to improve state systems of education, to act through their organs, and make use of their machinery whenever they are prof fered us. 6. That we use our influence in favor of State National Schools on account of their superior excellence over National Depart ments in Colleges and Academies, which will be overshadowed by the literary and scientific departments, and fail to win the regards and excite the enthusiasm of stu dents, or the interest of the general public. 7. That we give special attention to the training of female teachers for primary schools, rather than to the general culture of young men in Colleges, who will be likely to teach in the higher schools, for the benefit of the few. • 8. That in the preparation of colored teachers, we encourage their attendance at regular Normal schools, and, only in ex ceptional cases, at other schools, which attempt to give Normal instruction. 9. That we favor the appointment and support of State Superintendents, the forma tion of State Associations of teachers, and the publication of periodicals for the im provement of teachers. Alabama. —lt is now reported at Wash ington that the Alabama Constitution has been carried, the latest returns showing that a majority of the registered voters cast th ballots at the election.
