ACQUITTAL ADVANTAGES.
There seems to be a diversity of opinion
rospevtirqj the consequences of tlie acquit
tal of I’resiiient Johnson, should such 1*
the result of the Impeachment trial. We
confess, however, that wc coincide with the
view taken by the New York Sun, which
contends that the law of compensation ap
plies to the impeachment trail, as it docs
to most of the affairs of life -and that the
advantages of acquittal, if there should Iks
an acquittal, would not inure altogether
to Mr. Johnson. On the contrary, the Re
publican party would share them in more
than an equal degree.
In the tirst place; a verdict of acquittal
would have the effect to unite and consoli
date the Republican party. It would pro
duce somewhat such an influence on the
party as the tirst Bull Run did on the loyal
masses of the North. It would enkindle a
bitter, resolute, determined partisan feeling,
the strong current of which would drown
minor jealousies and personal bickerings.
It would rouse up a tierce hatred toward
the party which lias manifested sympathy
for the President.
The feeling thus engendered would con
centrate at once ujion General Grant, and
would carry him into the White House on
the crest of its wave. It would give to the
Republican party tiie vast advantage of a
feeling of enthusiasm, in which it is at
present deficient.
Another consequence of acquittal would
!>c an increased confidence among the Con.
servatives in the prudence, discretion, and
stability of the Republican party. It would
appear to them that the leading Republican
Senators had risen above the thraldom of
party spirit, and exhibited a degree of
independence and conscientiousness worthy
of all praise.
Let the Republicans, therefore, take com
fort in the probability that the wind front
acquittal may blow them more good than
it will to their opponents.
ENFItA N CII IS EM EN T.
There are many men in the State of
Georgia who openly opposed secession
until the ordinance was passed by the
Convention, after which time, it is well
known, no man was safe in the State who.
advocated longer the old Union of States.
All were forced to acquiesce in secession,
leave the State, or suffer the pains and
penalties of treason against the Southern
Confederacy. Many of the original Union
men remained quiet in the State, giving
no otiier aid and comfort to the rebellion
than they were absolutely forced to do, in
order to save their property and them
selves from prison, banishment, or death.
Many of this class of men never did sym
pathize with the rebellion, but always
sympathized witli the Federal Government:
and yet many of these gentlemen were
forced, during the four years of war, to do
tilings for which they are now disfran
chised by the Reconstruction Acts of
Congress. We arc pleased to know that
this class of men have been provided for.
The original secessionists, who forced
Georgia into rebellion, are the men who
should be made to suffer the penalties of
treason. All men who have acted in
harmony with the Republican party in
trying to reconstruct the State, should be
held in grateful remembrance, and relieved
of all their political disabilities. Justice
demands this, at the earliest possible
period.
THE I'EACKFUL HALLOT.
Nothing is further from the truth, than
the charges persistently made by Demo
cratic journals, that Congress is seeking to
place the Southern States under a military
dictatorship. Congress it intent upon the
immediate r' a *oration of self-government
in ail the bi,. <s lately in rebellion, and
upon the early admission of all of them to
representation in the national councils.
The loyal people have insisted that with
*-la very should perish the oligarchy based
•upon it. They have demanded that the
principles of the declaration should he
embodied in the constitutions of the reor
ganized Stntcs. Upon that basis Congress
has zealously pressed its plans for recon
pt ruction.
The whole policy of Congressional
reconstruction is designed to render the
Southern people independent of executive
dictation. One purpose in hastening the
States back to tlicir places in the Union, is
t > guard against the dangers of arbitrary
power, and to maintain popular govern
ment against the aggressions of ambition
and despotism. For that purpose Congress
is jnstilied in employing all the resources
at its command. If it errs at all, it is on
the side of the earliest practical reconstruc
tion. In spite of transient howling by
hostile partisans, and of doubt sold hesita
tion 011 the part of timid friends, this work
Congress must accomplish. The Southern
States must be brought back. They must
govern th An selves. They must have rep
rescntation in the House and Senate.
Military control must be reduced to its
minimum.
The sooner all this is done the better.
The Union restored, the States reorganized,
military power restricted, and peace domi
nant in fact an«l form throughout the land,
ure the results w hich Congress must present
as the fruits of its policy, the justification
for all its measures.
Truk Ui.vk.- A young lady with blue
gaiters, bine dress, blue sacque, blue lace
collar, blue bat, blue feather, blue parasol,
blue fan, blue kid gloves, blue stockings,
blue eyes, and tuiqoise bracelet, necklace
and ear rings, attracted attention a day
or two ago on one of the New York ferry
boats.
FINANCIAL.
There are far too many people among us
who are ready to rally under the l»annor of
those who can shout the loudest, "Down
with the bondholders l" "Down with the
National Bauks!" “Give us repudiation!
etc. Let those who urc disposed to follow
these “blind leaders of the blind,” who
foolishly imagine that they have nothing
to lose, but everything to gain, by the sud
den overthrow of the national honor and
national credit, ponder ami pause ere they
plunge beyond their depth ami the nation's
deptli in this unknown sea. If there arc
evils in our present system, us doubtless
there arc—for nothing that human wisdom
has yet devised is perfect—still the ques
tion returns: Will the sudden overthrow
ot our present system cure the evil ? It
were easy to show that the majority of the
theories and systems proposed by the gen
tlemen who abuse the bondholders and
assault the National Ranks arc impractica
ble and visionary to the last degree. But
admitting, for the sake of argument,
that there are evils in our present system,
still there is a question as to “whether it be
not better to bear the ills we have than fly
to others we know not ot."’
There is one fact patent to all—a Nation
al Bank note is current and taken without
question in every part of the country. Can
a better circulating medium be devised
than this, except gold ? and gold is not so
convenient. As yet wo have seen no sys
tem which has been proposed ns a substitute
which, in our judgment, is at all compara
ble to it.
ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT.
We find the following abstract of the
Articles of Impeachment, containing all
the material points, in the New York Even
ing Post —which is republished for the
benefit of our readers :
Artice I, declares that the President is
sued an order for the removal of Mr. Stan
ton from the office of the Secretary of War,
the Senate then being in session, intending
thereby to violate the Tenure of Office act.
Article 11, charges the President, there
then being no vacancy in the War Office,
authorized Gen. Thomas in writing to act
ns Secretary ml interim, the Senate then
being in session, and with intent to violate
the Tenure Act and the Constitution.
Article 111, is like the second, except that
it alleges tlutt the President appointed
Thomas Secretary of War without the
advice and consent of the Senate, and
without authority of law, and with the
intent to violate the Constitution.
Article IV, alleges that the President
conspired with Thomas and other unknown
persons to prevent Stanton, by threats, from
acting as Secretary of War, thereby vio
lating the Conspiracy Act of July, 1801,
and the Constitution.
Article V, charges that the President
conspired with Thomas and others to prevent
the execution of the Tenure Act; and that
in pursuance of this conspiracy, he and
they attempted to hinder Stanton, by un
lawful means, from acting as Secretary of
War.
Article VI, alleges that ttic conspirator
intended by force to get possession of the
public property in the War Department,
contrary to the Conspiracy Act of July,
1801, and with the purpose of thus violating
the Tenure Act. .
Article VII, is very much like article VI,
merely adding that the conspiracy to get
possession of the property in the War Office
was formed with the intent to violate the
Tenure Act, on.ittmg’all allegations as to the
act of July, IStil.
Article VIIJ, declares that the ad interim
appointment of Thomas was made with the
intent on the part of the President to con
trol the military appropriations for tin; Wat
Department in an illegal manner, intruding
thereby to violate the Tenor Ait.
Article IN, charges that the President, on
the 22d of February, 1867, instructed Gen.
Krnory (the commander, of the troops in
Washington) that the act of March, 1867,
which requires all military orders to he
given through Gen. Grant, was unconstitu
tional, and that the President tried to
persuade Emory to disregard this law, and
receive orders directly from him.
Article X, relates to the speeches made by
the Pr.sident at Washington, itt August,
1866, about Congress ban dug on tin; verge
of the Government, and it Cleveland and
St- Louis, in the following September, while
‘‘swinging around the circle.”
Article XI, clung' > that the I’p -i lent
declared in a speech at Washington, in
August, 1860, that the Thirty Ninth Con
gress was not a constitutional body, but a
Congress of only a part of the States; that
he thus denied that its legislation was valid
and obligatory upon him, except so tor ns
he approved tl e same, and also denting its
power to propose amendments to the Con
stitution ; and, in pursuance of this denial,
unlawfully devised means to prevent the
execution of the Tenure Act, by trying to
prevent Stanton from resuming his duties
as Secretary of War; and also devised
means to prevent the execution of the Act
requiring army orders to be given through
Gen. Grant ; and also devised means to
prevent the execution of “the Act to provide
for the more efficient government of the
rebel States,” commonly called the Recon
struction Act. These offence- are popularly
called misprison of perjury— i. c., trying to
induce officers to violate their oaths, or
devising plans to violate one’s o vn oath, by
refusing to execute these laws.
CONS Eli I A 'fIVE
Wade Hampton has written his friends in
Richmond, that if the National Democratic
Convention will guarantee a candidate who
believes in, and will stand firm for State
rights, it may count on the undivided vote
of the Democracy of South Carolina. This
is precisely the style of promises which
South Carolina used to make. If we take
Hampton for an exponent of tin; State,
South Carolina still hugs the phantom of
Nullification, Secession and Slave Aristocra
cy. In this promise lurks the danger of
permitting the Democratic parly to again
control the administration. To it the South
always trusted both for carrying out their
schemes before the war, and also for success
during the rebellion. The old regime still
relies upon the Democratic party North,
for the revivifying of its departod power,
In the conservative clement of the country
the slave aristocracy of the South hopes for
a backward movement until the voice of
the South shall he the voice of the nation.
Hut Mr- Hampton does not represent tlm
sentiment of South Carolina to day. A
change has come over the spirit of her
dreams. She w ill never again lead the van
o( Nullification and Stuto Rights. The
Democratic party may, by nominating an
old time Conservative, Slate Rights candi
date, secure the party vote in South Caro
lina, hut that vote will not he a feather in
the scales. South Carolina has declared
for restoration, progress, republicanism. It
is useless tor Wade Hampton or any other
anti-wur political codger to attempt to
wheedle her into a backward march to the
tune of "States Rights.” Besides, the
Democratic party has enough on its hands
nt present to straighten out the little
“onpleassrittm” which the bond question
has introduced into its cabinet. It has no
time to listen to the siren music of “ State
Rights.'’ —Utica (N. Y.) Herald.
f Comisuß lasted.
THE NEW SYSTEM OF PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.
One of the most important subjects of
which the recently elected Legislature shall
have to dispose, is tho adoption of a thorough
system of general education, which, in the
languago of tho Constitution, shall “be
forever freo to all children of tho State —the
expense of which shall he provided for by
taxation, or otherwise."
The people of Georgia appreciate, at this
tiuie, more sensibly than ever before, the
real importance of this subject. Circum
stances having combined to concentrate their
thoughts on the adoption o( a certain lino of
policy, whereby their own, and their children’s,
future wolfare may be enhanced, the indis
pensnbility of a systematic, practical educa
tion, looms up bolore them in grand propor
tions. In a word, the people and children
arc ripe for just such a system of schools ns
this progressive ago demands.
1 have given this subject no little consid
eration ; and, feeling a profound interest in
the welfare ol the boys and girls of Georgia,
l have determined to venture once more into
the public prints, for the purpose of making
a few suggestions. In doing so, I have tho
proud satisfaction of knowing that selfish
interests are beneath tny feet, and that I am
actuated by pure motives.
The school system now in vogue is, for
many reasons, a miserable one; although, in
this city and county, through the exertions
of the present Board of Education, the
children, generally speaking, are deriving
from it more real benefit than at any pre
vious period. Since tho Ist of January,
1868, the standard of the schools has been
greatly elevated, and their efficiency aug
mented, while the most gratifying signs of
improvements, in point of studiousness,
punctuality, and good conduct, have been,
and are still, visible iti the pupils. The
knowledge of this fact is the more encour
aging. when we consider the disadvantages
by which both, teachers and pupils, arc sur
rounded.
Os all the County Public Schools in this
city, there is but one which has any posi
tively convenient appointments. With the
exception of the Augusta Freo School and
the Factory School, all other buildings used
for school purposes are owned or rented by
tho teachers, who did not receive compen
sation for services rendered during 1867
until January 21st of the present year.
Notwithstanding this, those teachers have
eontiuucd at their post, faithfully discharg
ing their duty. The majority of them, in
order to minister to the wants of their
families, have been forced to daily extra
work, after spending six hours in the school
room—thus consuming the very time every
true teacher desires to devote to study ; for,
it must be borne in mind, that knowledge
laid in store five or ten years since will not
quite suffice for the proper instruction of
the children of today.
Every day new and striking discoveries
are made in every department of science.
Modes of instruction should keep pace with
the march of events. Men, as a general
rule, dislike innovation; Having become
wedded to a certain set of ideas, be they
ever so antiquated, they are loath to surren
der them.
The present, ami ever improving, mode of
imparting instruction, is as superior to that
which obtained eighty years ago, as the
steam car is to the stage coach. The “ ‘Seven
General Rules,’ with their numerous incom
prehensible except ions, the whole constituting
an apt illustration of tho famous definition
of language, which makes it a ‘contrivance
for concealing thought,”’ would not be
tolerated at this time.
in Georgia, we need every new and
valuable educational improvement. Home
will object that wc have no right to hope tor
an improved system of schools. On the
contrary, I believe that wc h ive reason not
only to expect, but demand it. We have
been crawling, as it wi re, for scores of years,
surely we urn able to walk now. Wo have
the will, and there is a trite saying, especially
applicable to our case If, in littccn years,
the Prussians, without the beuefit of ex
ample, originated, developed, and rapidly
improved a system ol Common Schools, may
we not hope, with the lights before us, to
do equally j\.; much in two thirds the same
time,
I desire to invito attention to a system
which appears to me to be extremely desir
able. But, in suggesting its adoption, I
make no pretensions whatever to originality.
The, Constitution provides for the appoint
ment by the Governor, with the consent of
the Senate, of a Slate School Commissioner.
There should also Ire a Superintendent for
each of the counties.
First of ali, there should ho established
in each and every .school district in the State, a
PRIMARY setloOl.,
for boys and girls, together, presided over by
a lady teacher, whose education "lias ren
dered her capable of holding honest and
intelligent opinions concerning school mat
tors, and especially on questions regarding
her own duties, and the interests of Iter own
school” "It is by lady teachers that some
of the best ideas have been advanced, and
improvements suggested, in educational
matters.”
In these primary s bools, pupils might be
requited to remain until the elements, hunt
the Alphabet to and through the Second
Reader, have been thoroughly mastered, at
which tune they could be advanced into the
INTK It ,\l KOI *T K SC 11(101,,
fur boy • and girls separate, where they should
be carefully instructed in Spelling, Reading
(through Third Reader), Writing, Primary
Arithmetic, and Primary Geography, the
lust by means of map-drawing from nremury
and usual recitations; nt the satisfactory
conclusion of which studies, pupils might
be advanced into the
ORAM MAIL SCHOOL,
for hoys and girls separate, where they
should Ite tnight Spelling and Defining,
Composition or Gramm ir, Mental and Writ
ten Arithmetic, Intermediate Geography
(map drawing continued), and Writing.
Having passed a satisfactory examination,
the pupil i.i ready for the
moil school,
boys and girls separate, or for active
business life. If, however, the pupil do
sires to enter the High School, the privilege
of being instructed in Ihc Classics, higher
Mathematics, Physical Geography, etc.,
would he nccordcd him or her. And having
passed through the prescribed course in this
school, the pupil may, if desirous ol he
coming a teacher, he inducted into tho
statu normal school,
two of which should bo established—one
for tho whites, and one for Hie colored poo
plo. In this institution the course of study
would be, in many respects, peculiar, and
at the same time very comprehensive.
This scheme, 1 doubt not, will appear too
high for us. 1 believe it can he successfully
inaugurated. '(lie expenses attendant upon
it will he little in excess of those of tlm
present system, while tho beneficial result*
that will arise therefrom cannot he easily
over-estimated.
Del us compare tho expenses of tho pre
sent, with those of tho proposed system—
taking Richmond county as an example :
In 1W57 the audited accounts of thu
teachers of white schools in this county
(the colored schools wore not then under
county patronage), amounted to about
112,000. This year it will take fully $25,-
000 to pay the teachers employed, paying
them at tho rate of seven cents per day for
each pupil in actual attendance.
Now, under tho system 1 propose, we cun
bare in this city
Eight Primary schools (lour for whito
and four for colored children), Teach
er's salary, $300.00 oor annum $2,400
Eight Intermediate schools, Teacher's
salary, SOOO.OO SI,BOO
Eight Grammar achoois, Toucher's sala
ry, $1200.00 $9,1500
Four lilgh achoois, Teacher’s salary
$1500.00 SO,OOO
Expenses of schools outside city limits $2,200
Total $25,000
Os tho Intermediate and Grammar
schools, four of each uro for each race—two
for each box- Os the High schools, two for
each race—one for each sex.
The system would, in itself, constitute a
standing incentive to every class of pupils.
All of its advantages cannot, of course, be
detailed in a limited newspaper article.
True enough, it could not be made to apply
in every particular to the rural districts,
sparsely populated as some of them are;
•but that is no reason why cities, and other
suitable localities, should not bo favored
with it. Tho wants of the districts just
referred to can bo supplied by means of
Primary and Intermediate schools united
in one, and the circuit system—hero a week
and there a week.
Whatever system is adopted, teachers
should bo paid fixed s dunes, monthly cr
quarterly—“discriminating in favor of known
ability, experience, and well proved success.”
By all means, let us rid ourselves of that
seven cents per day encumbrance.
VOCAL MUSIC.
In the bill, providing for the establish,neat
of the schools contemplated, should be
incorporated a clause, requiring vocal music
to be taught in ail the divisions, from Pri
mary to Normal. Song always draws closer
its participants. There is wisdom in that
Eastern saying : “The world is saved alone
by the breath of the school children !” “As
a mental exercise, also, music fixes attention,
concentrates thought, cultivates quick and
nice discernment; while, as a physical
exercise, it brings into healthy action those
vital organs which cannot bo reached so
effectually in any other way.”
In conclusion, I may be permitted, in the
1 itiguage ot a distinguished contemporary, to
ask : “What objects are Public Schools de
signed to subserve, and what accomplish ?
Is it enough that the education of the child
ren ot the State be restricted to the simple
English elements, or is it a wiser political
economy to elevate all to the highest attain
able standard—the highest standard possible
atid practicable?”
“I think it may be safely affirmed that a
system of Public Schools, to be enduring and
useful in the highest degree, to be an orna
ment, pride, and blessing in a community,
should be of a very completo and high char
acter, so wisely constituted as to subserve
the interests and obtain the confidence of all;
the cordial good will and patronage of all—
not of the poor and middle classes merely,
but ot all, rich and poor, equally, and alike.
Such a patronage and such a support is a
sure guarantee of tho success of a Public
School system. It is its triumph, ensuring
brilliant and glorious resalts in the rich and
enduring fruits of intelligence, industry,
virtue, and thrilt. Tho school system, to
resell these conditions, should be studied
carefully, and bo wisely adapted to our
peculiar wants.” Martin V. Calvin.
