U erklngmrn’. Clubs.
Soho, London, is the home of many work
ingmen. It is the most populous, most un
inviting, and most unlovely district of the
British capital, and those who are forced to
reside there undergo many inconveniences
and aro exposed to much discomfort. The
only means of amusement within the reach
of the workingmen was the ale house, where
he was wont to retire after his day’s work
to enjoy his beer and his pipe, while he
listened to the songs of paid singers or dis
cussed politics' with his companions. An
important experiment, in which working
men are interested, is now on its trial at
Soho, which, if it proves successful, will
supersede the ale house and the various
temptations that hang around such places.
Wc refer to the Workingmen’s Club
started in January last with a few members,
the number increasing before the end of
February to 700 ; and so numerous were
the subsequent applications for admission
that restrictiohs had to be imposed which
prevented the number from exceeding
the limited accommodation. This club
was not in the hands of well meaning but
mistaken philanthropists, whose ideal of the
model workingman is an ascetic who
loves not his pipe and his beer and his
newspaper in moderation. It is founded on
an entirely new plan. Its main object is to
furnish the members with all they were used
to in the ale house, but under stringent
regulations, which prevent excess of any
kind. There is a Ijwir where ale and porter,
and even spirits are sold; a conceit room’
where the members of musical proclivities
volunteer to sing for the delectation of their
comrades ;*a billiard room, oar.ds, dominoes,
and chess ; a debating society, where those
foiensic talents and oratorical tastes take
sides on questions which are made clearer
hy being ventilated; refreshment rooms,
reading rooms', and a .library. Everything
is comfortable, but. neither luxurious nor
extravagant. The members feel dt home,
and the dues ate so slight that every work
ingman can join without encroaching
seriously on his limited exchequer.
We call attention to lhe movement in
London, so that it may be imitated by the
working men' in this city. The winter
with its long nrights will soon be on
hand, and if steps were at once taken, at
least one club might be'established in time
to test its success. There is no good reason
why such clubs should not succeed. The
Trades Unions in the city should bo some
thing more than protective and benevolent
aswrciatimis; each of them might be formed
into clubs somewhat similar to that of
Soho. The reason the meetings of these
bodies are frequently but slimly attended
•s that no attraction is offered, nothing but
dry routine business, of which the members
soon grow weary. A debate among the
members, a lecture, anything novel and
fresh, wonld bring the men out, and keep
the younger members from less profitable
amusement
The subject is worthy of thoughtful
consideration, and we hope to see it taken
U E discussed, and, if possible, reduced to
Practical shape by the men in whose hands
; he matter rests. : •

■ - pected demise.— Atlanta Intelligencer. j
f Communicated.
the commo y schuol si'btem.
Mr. Editor f In considering the subject
of Common Schools, it becomes us to
exercise great care, not only because of the
magnitude of the interests involved, hot
•Iso ou account of the prejudices, which oUr
ante war status excited in our minds, against
all systems of free public instruction. Trite
enough, we esteemed it expedient and just
that some system of free instruction should
be provided for the more, unfortunate of our
fellow citizens,* and, to that end, “ Pauper
Schools,” or as the law politely terms them,
“ Poor Schools,” were ordered to bo estab
lished, just anywhere the respective teachers
might elect to locate them.
No school-houses were built, except by
voluntary contribution. Boards of Educa
tion were the offspring of hap-hazard—com
posed as they were of the Justices of the
Inferior Court, a representative of the Supe
rior Court, anil the Ordinary—gentlemen
who, with honorable and few exceptioqs,
felt no particular interest in popular educa
tion. Whosoever applied for a teacher’s
position was duly examined aud licensed;
canvassed the district for pupils; opened
school; conducted ft In Btmie manner;
presented his account quarterly, and wtis
paid at the expiration of the scholastic year
—receiving so many cents (varying from 7
to 10) a day for each pupil in actual
attendance, as in the judgment of the Board
would bes£ subserve the public interests. No
person felt it his duty to visit the schools,
aud the teachers and pupils were alone
cognizant of the propcrities or improprieties
daily developed in the management of the
same.
Paid once a year, wholly dependent upon
the number and regularity ol their pupils
for the amount of salary received, teachers
were surrounded by the most demoralizing,
discouraging, and damaging influences —in-
fluences against which none but “called'
teachers seldom ever successfully contended,
to the advantage and advancement of Uicir
pupils. Not that there was dishonesty prac
ticed, in a pecuniary point of view, but the
tendencies were toward a form of dishonesty
worse still—the moral.
To illustrate : A teacher iias fifty pupils
enrolled; two-thirds of that number have
stronger preferences fur the play-ground than
for the schoolhouse. To them toys are far
more interesting aiid less fatiguing than text
books. Now, if those truants aud inattentive
pupils receive their just deserts, they will
either be absent without leave a full month,
or enroll themselves in some other school.
The teacher can not afford to lose them.
•The result too often is, discipline gives place
to unpardonable leniency.
The "called” teacher, however, values dis
cipline and reputation more highly than he
does dollars and cents ; and he will preserve
both in tact, although of fifty only five
pupils arc left.
But again, here is. a teacher, who has
charge of a Primary School, aud makes no
pretensions to the possession of abilities
commensurate with higher positions in the
same sphere. In his school are ten pupils
who have made rapid progress, and are ready
to enter upon the study of those branches
through which the teacher can not conduct
them. Duty prompts him to advise them to
go to an abler aud more experienced teacher;
but self,influenced by consideration of dollars
and cents, makes him humane, and he sug
gests review after review.
Time fails me to go through the ramifi
cations of this illustration. Enough has
been thrown out to put thoughtful men on
the right track.
The above is briefly the history of the
old school system, which, prior to the adop
tion of the new Constitution, was iu opera
tion in this State. The time has arrived
when these evils must be remedied. With
us old things have passed away, and all
things arc new.
I am aware that whenever this question
Os Common .Schools iq broached, tire cry is
immediately raised : It is impracticable 1
it is impracticable. 11 ’ Impracticable—non
sense. Why is it so? Is it because, as in
timated in the outset, our ante war status
did not necessitate dependence upon free
schools for the education of our children ?
Does it follow that because wc have never
had any real school system, we c;ui have
none? flic reason of the faith of the op
ponents of a Common School system in
Georgia, is succinctly expressed in the an -
swer to that vulgar iiit. negatory : Why did
the cow cross the road, sir?
No.. This idea of impracticability is a
false one. Whatever is useful, is necessary ;
and whatever is necessary, is practicable.
Let our Legislators go to work and adopt i
the be#,possible system of Common Schools.
It can not, of course, be perfect. Expcrien’ee
will discover and remove its delects- Give
us graded schools’—Primary, Intermediate,
Grammar, High and Normal—a good, lire
Board of Education, and an active, thorouglr
going Superintendent iu each county; an
active, practical, State School Commissioner,
aud results will be developed, in the course
of five or ten years, that will astonish and
gratify every Georgian and American.
NORMAL SCHOOLS.
, Whatever system we have, we shall need
faithful, qualified teachers—men and women
called to, and trained for, the work. There
are hundreds of boys and girts in Georgia
td-day, who, if they could enjoy the advan
tages of a well conducted Normal School,
wonld make teachers of whom the State
would have abundant reason to feel proud ;
we should, therefore, have, at the earliest
possible day, two Normal Schools—one of
which should, in duo time, la? set apart lor
colored beneficiaries.
COMPENSATION OF TEACHERS.
The Board of Education in each county
should bo empowered to employ teachers
at fixed, graded salaries, to be piird monthly
or quarterly; said salaries to be decided
upon in the beginning of the scholastic
year, regulated by the educational fund on
hand and incoming.
The number of schools established should
bo coequal with the number of .school
going children, in the county. They
should be systematically located.
REVENUE.
If the School fund is to be raised by
taxation, the time for the collection of
taxes should be changed, so that the (und
may be in hand in the beginning of the*
year.
COLORED PEOPLE.
Let mo premise by saying that I have no
political ambition to satiate, and that in
all I have.written, and am about to write,
my desire and object is for the accomplish
ment of good—-the advancement ot the
people’s interests, and not my own aggran
dizement.
As far as protestations are concerned, we
are all in favor of the education of that class
of our population whose members were hut
recently emancipated and enfranchised.
It is a noticeable fact that very little men
tion has been made- of the subject-matter of
this article, while other questions, of far less
importance,have been elaborately discussed.
The Common School System has been and
is an eye-sore to a great many persons, bo
cause op tbe fear that the system to be
adopted" will not provide separate schools lor
the races.
The colored people do not desire mixed
schools ; aiid, if they did, 'it would be im>-
ptocticable and suicidal to conform to their
ideas, for reasons patent to the minds ol ail
men.
The schools should be separate ; but, op
. erating under one system, should be other
wise and in every respect similar. .
This work of educating the colored people
is one in which we all have more or less
interest, and one which should enlist our
sympathies. I believe it to be the religious
duty of. our own people to enter aud work in
this field, which is co-extensive with the
good to be accomplished.
I have read with pleasure, editorials
in certain of our journals—urging Southern
men and women to take charge of colored
schools, I have likewise perused resolu
tions, looking to the same ond, adopted at
citizens’ meetings and by ecclesiastical
assemblies. But how many of our people
have engaged in the work ? Few, it any.
Why have they not acted upon the sug
gestions made by the press and at public
meetings? Because of public opinion.
Public "opinion is a tyrant, aud those who
heed it will not always find themselves
aligned with humanity and reason, religion
nnd law. Duty must triumph over other
considerations. Let our people take hold of
this great work, and demonstrate the depth
of their friendship, by imparting to the
colored people that which will make them
useful. Martin V. Calvin.
Augusta, Gil, August 5, 1868.
'S he (Measure Reason.
Since the weather became endurable,
travel by rail has largely increased. The
tide of pleasure seekers aud summer tourists
is steadily setting into the cool retreats of
the country. It is remarked that the hotels
at the watering places are not filling up as
rapidly az Was ek|>«cte<i. While many seek
these fashionable resorts, a faf greater
number seek rest and repose in shady and
quiet places, where there is less excitement
and more real comfort. We envy the hap
piness or those whose duties do not compel
them to. remain at home during lhe hot
season, The press, unfortunately, are not
numbered with that class. From the unflag
ging tabor of lhe sanctum there is no relief.
Georgia Aik Line Railroad.—The Legis
lature of Georgia will have no more import
ant measures before it this session than the
one introduced dny before yesterday, to assist
in building the Air Line Railroad. It will
open up a part of our State—Northeast
Georgia—as did the Slate roifd Northwestern
Georgia. As this road runs parallel with
the’ Chattahoochee river for a number of
miles, it will give this rich grain region a
market close at home. It will make the
mines at Dahlonega convenient, and open
up a country just as valuable aS any in this
State.
Besides this, it is a connecting line that
will give an air line literally from New
Orleans to Jiew York, bringing the trade
and travel that now goes through Tennessee
through Georgia. It will increase the value
of land along the line of this road, and give
employment to hundreds of our citizens. Let
it be built at once. No one can doubt that
it will handsomely repay our State for any
benefit received by increasing the value of
•our taxable property.— Atlants Intelligencer.
The Central Road.—Some changes, wc
learn, have recently taken place among the
officers of the above road in this city. Mr.
John G. Clarke, who has heretofore been
acting as Assistant Superintendent, has
resigned or been relieved of his duties in
"that capacity, and its labors have been
divided between Mr. J. M. Selkirk and Mr.
William Rogers—Mr, Selkirk acting as
General -Forwarding aud Freight Agent,
and Mr. Rogers, the former book-keeper in
tbe office, now acting as Master of Trans
portation — Macon Telegraph.

Seymour’s Letter of Acceptance.
New Yokk, August s.—Seymour has
written u letter formally accepting the
nomination by the Demscratic Convention,
lie says it was unsought and unexpected,
that he was caught up by the overwhelming
tide which is bearing the country on to a
great political change, and he finds himself
unable to resist it.? pressure.
The resolutions adopted by the Conven
tion accord with his views. He delayed a
formal acceptance until the adjournment of
Congress for the purpose of seeing what
light the actions of Congress would throw
upon the interests of tho country. The
Congressional party not only allied itself
with the military power, which is to be
brought to bear directly upon the election
in many of the Southern States, but
holds itself in perpetual session with the
avowed purpose of making such laws as it
shall see fit, in view of the election soon to
take place. Never before has Congress
taken a menacing altitude toward electors.
Under the -influenco/of Congress, some of the
States are proposing to deja-ive the people of
the right to Vote for Presidential electors ;
thereby the first bold step has been taken to
destroy the right of suffrage. He 'refers to
the demands of the tax gatherers. Men are
admitted as representatives ot some of the
Southern States with the declaration upon
their lips that they can not live in the Slates
they claim to represent without military pro
tection. They owe their seats to the disorder
at the South, and that Very fact prompts
them to keep it in anarchy. In vain the
wisest Republicans protested against this
policy. There is hardly an able man who
helped build up the Republican organiza
lion who has not, within the past three
years, warned it against excesses, while
many have been driven from its ranks.
Personally the Presidential office has ho
attraction for him. During the war he had
given sixteen thousand commissions to
officers of the army, and he knew that they
demand the restoration of the Union which
they fought for. The largest meeting of
these gallant soldiers ever held, had en
dorsed the action of the Convention.
He does not doubt a triumph, which will
