June as the day for Guiteau to

The Public Sehools.
For the Courier.
Ihe improvement of the pub
lic schools, should be an object
of special interest to every citi
zen of our common country. Up
on them, more than any other
cause, depend the education of
the masses, and the perpetuity of
those institutions which tend do
the refinement, and true exalta
tion of the people. Experience
has taught that these schools, as
they now operate,’ are inadequate
to the consumation of the great
work, for which they are design
ed. We are. however, bound by
the highest law of the State, to
have a public school system, and,
whether we like it or not, we
must accent the situation ; adapt
ourselves to it, or fashion it to
suit our fancy. I do not think
any one should desire to escape
from it, for the public system can
educate the children cheaper
I ban the private plan. B> a well
directed cooperation of all the
people, the public schools can be
made as efficient in their sphere,
as any other schools. L’lie system
is far in ad van* *• the means.
With one amendment it will b
as nearly perfect as any school
system on our planet. Every
person acquainted with the law
of mechanics or the science at
phylosophy, knows that the mo
tive power must be greater than
the resistance The school sj/s

schools, at least five months in j
the year entirely free, and com j
pel ling each child that enters
school, to continue iu school to
the end of the session or pay dou
ble school tax; when the school
houses shall be made neat and
confortablc; when the schools
shall be taught in the winter tin
der the instruction of competent
teachers; and when the people
shall facilitate the work by fur
nishing their children with books
and the schools with necessary
apparatus, we shall begin to see
and realize that we have done
something towards the payment
of the debt so well expressed in
the following graphic and patri
otic sentence —a sentence worthy
to be written in letters of gold
upon tablets of silver and placed
upon the walls of every school
house in the land: ‘'education a
DEBT DUE FROM PRESENT TO FUTURE
GENERATIONS.”
I trust the time is not far off
when our fellow-citizens shall
give such thought and energy te
this subject, as will develop the
right direction; kindle educa
tional enthusiasm in the hearts
of the people and incite pure
popular illumination. Let us ful
ly, freely, and cheerfully support 1
all true teachers, as they toil to
write in letters of living light
upon the imperishable minds of
the young, sentences which will
be reflected in brilliant colors,
both iu time and eternity. We
owe this to our country, to socity,
and to all who are near us. The
children are the country’s hopes,
the parent’s brightest expecta
tion. They are our most precious
jewels; an immortal constella
tion ever shining with earth’s in
delible training.

ONE MORE REPLY TO HENLEY.
As Wells Without Water and
Clouds that Are Carried With
a Tempest and a Man that
Speaks great, swelling
Words of Vanity—So Is
Mr. Henley.
Mineral Springs, Jan. 23rd, 1882
Messrs. Editors In reply to
Mr. Henley of January the sth,
as he has misrepresented me
from the beginning all Ihe way
through.
I will now give the proceeed
ings of the meeting U Bethany
of which there has been so much
said. Brother Turner preached
first; his text was Romans Ihe
sth chapter and 21st verse—“that
as sin hath reigned unto death
even so might grace reign
through righteousness unto eter
nal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.”
He dwelt on the reign of sin, and
[ thought, went 100 far; he said
that Bethany had gone so far
with slilling tliat she would not
take a gospel acknowledgement,
when I arose I denied the asser
tion against the church and then
said that stilling or not stilling
was not ray religion. I tool> no
other text. J also spoke of the
feign of sin. I first said-1 did not
think the wickedness of the peo
ple had any thing to do with the
drouth. 1 also said that men
were proned to sin, and that
there was nothing under the sun
that mail had engaged in but
what lie had sinned—in farming,
with money, aiso with the gospel,
and in the churches—showing
the reign of sin. 1 then spoke of
salvation in Christ. through the
gospel. I quoted Ibe 14th verse
of the 14th chapter ol 2d Samuel,
and showed that the gospel was
the means that God had ordained
that his banished be not expell
ed from him. I further said that
Ihe gospel was alt I knew to
preach lort,alv,.tion. I then spoke
ot th departed child ami c’o.-ed.
Ttie above is the t ad mg pro
ceedings of the meeting. War
could not Mr. Henley give the
true statement of the meeting,
instead of stooping so low like a
hog with his nose in the ground,
in place of holding his head up
! ; ko a g ntlonian. He ref'ered to

man was running (lie blockade
and I was to go to him and te!!
him if he would let me have some
liquor I would pledge my word
and honor that 1 would not tell it
nor hurt him. then if some man
was to report him and give me
fora witness, (which would be
right) lo save my word, honor
and the man, — I said under such
circumstances 1 would not tell it
I suppose Mr. Henley would,dike
Judas, betray his friend. I do
not know the members that he
refers to, but I know one member
that lives in this county that has
been trying to make a fuos about
it, who was a Baptist in time of
the war and while plundering
and pilfering a Baptist’s bouse
calling himself Capt. Duck. I
suppose him to be one of Mr.
Henley’s good members. Capt.
Duqk can see me face to face if
he wants to. Mr. Henley -said I
was continually carrying, off
loads of liquor, which is basely
false. lam neither making nor
hauling it.
Mr, Henley, like Judas, is pow
erfullv concerned about the poor,
not that he cares for them, but
wants something for himseif.
What I said about the Jasper In
stitnte I did not mean to speak
against refinement. I did not
know it had gotten to Jasper yet
but now I see it “refinement in
deed” Come to Jasper and see
refinement fully grown : fell it
to the mountains high and to the
valleys low, come one, come all,
and see refinement. It beat the
railroad to Jasper. Cry aloud
and spare not: tell it lo the
world, but alas ! what do we hear?
.Mr. Henley, with a loud voice,
saying, “woe, woe, woe to the
men of Cagle’s stripe, for refine
ment has caught them with their
breeches down.”
Poor fellow ! he is the father of
refinement at Jasper. It favors
its father. I now leave Mr. Hen
iley with all his refinement to
wallow in the dog-fennel and
1 posimon sprouts at Jasper.

journalism. Itucdertook to report in
a fresh, succinct, unconventional way
all the news of ihe world, omitting no
evi nt ofhnman interest, and co i mint
ing upon affairs with the fearh senes
of abs .lute independence. The success
of th s exp.riment was the s-uccoss ot
The Sun. It eff.-ctcd a perman nt
change in the style ot American news
paper*. Every important journal es
tubiisheu in this ci untry in the dozen
years past has bepn modelled after
The Sun. Every important journal
already < x'sting has been modifies and

make it better, than ever before.
We shall print all thenews, putting it
into reliable shape, and 'measuring' its
