Editor Weekly democrat :
From late dev$1ppmeut8 the polit
ical situation is not so precarious as
it appeared to be some weeks ago.
The Philadelphia ConiYention on the
5th instant was delivered of its
monster, which, beipg looked for,
did not inudh snrpflse the .public
mind.
The tide of the Greeley sensation
has subsided, and the people anxious
ly look forward to the Baltimore
Convention; when, they hope, and
feel assured, that the wisdom of the
Democratic party will steer them
safely through the present crisis, and
forever settle the question between
principle and policy !
And may Heaven bless the 9th of
July, if the great national Demo
cratic Convention, in their wise dis
crimination, shall on that day see
proper to rescue the party from the
now threatened and impending doom
of annihilation and total extinction;
and preserve those time-honored
principles which have saved 'it from
the wreck of Radical misrule and
c irruption, and which have been the
"fiery pillow” to guide it through
the last seven years of daijtness and
gloom.
Let virtue and principle direct the
decision at Baltimore, and we will
abide it, be the consequences what
they may; but if ^(so-called) policy
sounds its voice there, to the dis
paragement and abandonment of
principle—then we are *mbarked on
another sea. Decatur.
Humorous Clippings.
Liberal.—A Charleston, S. C.,
man gave another man twenty-five
cents tor saving him from drowning.
Refused.—A careful country gen
tleman refused to let his gardener
plant some green gage trees, because
he had an object ioiito mor-gageon the
estate.
The Size.—.An ignorant oil-mer
chant. on being asked how large an
advertisement he wanted in a news
paper, replied that they might ‘‘put
in about three pints of type.”
Is it a Sign?—A young lady wants
to know whether a girl may be sure a
man loves her unutterably when lie
sits in her presence for an hour with
out speaking.
.Prefer Them.—A Norwich under
taker, in advertising a new variety
of coffins, remarks that 'those who
have used them give them the prefer
ence.”
Flattery.—Girls, make a note of
this remark of an old worn-out beau:
‘‘A man who most compliments a
woman is the one who most de pises
her.”
Before.—An Irishman once
bought a pair of boots and they were
too small. He said: ‘‘Faith, I shall
have to wear them thray or four
times before I can got them on.
Any Time.—“I'd give anything to
hear Ole Bull,” said an up-country
lass to her lover one evening.—‘Well,
answered he, “dad’s got an old brind-
le chap, and you can hear him beller
a most any time you like.’
Public education.
Editors Weekly Democrat:
At the request of certain of your
citizens, I propose to submit a few
thoughts on the subject of free pub
lic education—discussing the subject
as it may affect the interest of the
people of Bainbridge.
The absolute essentiality of educa
tion is no longer debatable. The
people are a unit on that subject.
The question of universal education
is being debated, and its advocates
have been increasing in number ever
since the days of Washington. Noth
ing excites a more lively interest
than education, as it affects the re
lationship oflabor, capital, immigra
tion, the development ol our indus
tries, and as it relates to sociology.
This is not less true of the South
than of other sections of this and
other countries.
Prior to the war, no State could
boast a better system of private
echoois than Georgia. Tue people
•r ao State were more liberal, to the
extent of their means, than our own
in putting their children in the en
joyment of the best educational facil
ities. But as liberal handed as they
were, there were hundreds upon
hundreds of youth in Georgia who
were denied even the semblance • of
real opportunities for the develop
ment of their mentality. Their pa
rents were not able to pay even the
small sum asked by the Dominie
Samsons who went about the coun
try, teaching a quarter here and a
quarter there.
But some one says, the Legisla
ture of Georgia made provision for
the gratuitous education of the indi
gent youth of the State. That is
very true, but while they offered the
epportunity they coupled with the
gitt a something which caused its
just rejection In numbers of instances.
Under the “Poor School” law, a man
had to confess himself a pauper ere
he could become a patron of the
schools. There were hundreds of
men who, with Gov. Schley, believ
ed. and there are as many, yea more
who now believe, that “poverty
though a great’ inconvenience,, is
no crime.” “And,” said the Gover
nor, “it is highly improper, while
you ofl'er to aid the cause of educa
tion to say to a portion of the people,
you are poor. Thousands of freemen
who, though indigent, *rc honest,
patriotic; and valuable citizens will
refuse your bounty and despise .the
hand that offers it; because it is ac
companied with insult.”
' Pecuniarily we are more neary on
an equality now-than ever before—
hence the demand for an efficient
system of public instruction is pro
portionately more imperative.
Confining myself to Bainbridge—
for I have not time just now to en
large upon this interesting subject—
I start with the presumption that it
is desirable to put the best -facilities
for acquiring a good education with
in the reach ofall your youth.
The question turns then upon
which is the most systematic, and
therefore the most thorough; which
is the most enconmical; which, pays
the teachers ami parents best, and
what system will provide best for
all.
• I am a firm believer in the doc
trine that the State is bound to pro
vide for the security of my person
and property and the security of the
persons arid property of my fellows.
To do this I hold that it is not only
the State’s duty, but her right to
raise money by .taxation to support
the Executive, Judiciary, Legisla
tive, police departments of the gov
ernment; that she has a right to tax
me to the extent of my ability in sup
port of these though I have no pro
perty at all; that having no proper
ty, I discharge my full duty when I
pay the road and poll tax exacted
of me.
I hold, too, that I am, though I
may not be a free holder, a tax-pay
er, just as essentially as the man
who has been more fortunate than
mys If in amssaing wealth, in hous
es and lauds. Every man who is en
gaged in honest labor from the ditch
er, the plough-man up is a tax-pay
er.
One great duty that the people
owe themselves is the securing pub
lic liberty against crafty and danger
ous'encroachments. They will meas
urably and most effectually discharge
this obligation by providing for the
most general diffusion of knowledge.
To retnrn: Is there a plan by
which the best education, that chil
dren will take, can be guaranteed
to the youth of Bainbridge, at less
cost and with uniformly better re
sults than is attainable in ungraded
select schools ? If so, what is it ?
I answer that the plan is found in
the graded public school system
now in splendid working order,
patronized by the rich and the
poor alike, in Savannah, Colum
bus, Atlanta, Charleston, Nashville
Selma, Natchez, Memphis, etc.
Of the 200 or 300 children in Bain
bridge, I venture that more than
one-fourth do not attend school; and
that the parents of those who do
attend find it in many cases, a se
vere tax on their means, to meet the
tuition bills of the teacher; that ‘the
teacher, no matter how industrious
and conscientous, is a third less the
effective teacher he would be, were
he relieved of the multiplicity of class
es he has to attend to daiy, and the
embarrassments by which he finds
himself, once in awhile, surroufided
by reason of inability 16 collect tui
tion due and which the patrons
would with pleasure promptly pay
were not money so scarce.
That’s my experience, I believe it
is the experience of nearly every
private teacher, who has a school of
filly, seventy-five, or a hundred pu
pils. *
I venture that the very lowest av
erage cost ot tuition per annum a
child, in Bainbridge, is $30. To edu
cate two hundred pupils at this low
est rate wifi require $6,000. Each
teacher will have lour or five differ
ent classes in the same room—rang
ing from the A. B. C. to the higher
branches. While he attempts to hear
one class, the members of the remain
ing three or four have to be watched.
I say nothing here of thg difficulties
arising from the inapplicability ofthe-j.
means qtdiscipline used with more
advanced pupils to those less advan
ced. The hint is suggestive.
The noon and-afternoon sessions,
daily, isbut a chase of time by the
teacher. He is never satisfied, and
he can never get his classes just to
that point where the lessons will
come in their place and be finished
in an allotted time. He may plan
at will, but those innocent little fel-.
lows will cause him to lose time.
They must have water; they can’t sit
still like the larger boy's. There is
the same difference between chil
dren of 6 years and those of 8 years.
Parents understand this allusion.
System, system that’s the gre at des
ideratum. You cannot put the head
of a six years old child on the shoul-
ders*of one of eight or ten years,
and expect nature to do her work in
her usual methodical way; not at
all.
In the graded .public* schools all
thesb difficulties disappear. The
pupils- are assigned in forties or
titties to a teacher of the primary,
intermediate, grammar, or high
school. Each and every pupil in
these several grades are of about
equal degrees of advancement aud
oftentimes of the same ages. The
course of study is divided to. cover
the average number of years spent
in school by children from five or
six years to eight years of age. The
system is an actual division Qf labor.
Misses A. and B. having charge of
the primary school, have just such
and such branches to teach; the
children remain in the primary school
a certain number of mouths, or until
ihey are fully prepared for the inter
mediate grade, and so on.
At first the pupils of each of the
primary schools may have to be di
vided into two classes, on account of
the disparity in the methods by
which they were formerly instructed.
By degrees, however, these will be
merged into one. so that the teacher
will with greater ease and advantage
to herself and pupils, manage the
fifty, than one-third that number
subdivided in a private school.
Now let us institute a comparison
hetween the cost of private and gra
ded public schools. In the former, with
all the disadvantages arising from
want of proper classification and
time, the lowest cost per scholar a
year is $30, or $6,000 for 200 child
ren; under the latter let us put the
rate per year a scholar at $20, then
you can pay the teacher better and
fixed salaries promptly, provide for
the 200 pupils, at a total cost of
$4,000, a clear saving oi $2,000; or
you can give 300 chil ren a more
systematic edqcation for the same
money ($6,000) than was expended
in private schools for 200.
But the average cost of tuition per
scholar a year, in graded public
schools, (the course of study em
bracing the elements of an English
education, the higher mathematic,
and the ancient aud modern lan
guages,) is $16; so you can provide
for 300 children with an expenditure
of $4,800, and save at the same time
$1,200.
The foregoing I have written in
the midst of other duties. I have
>not had time to elaborate the ideas
advanced. My purpose will be ac
complished if this article should
arouse the attention of the people of
Bainbridge to the subject. I feel
sure they will endorse the plan the
more they examine into and think
about it.
In providing for colored youth,
seperate schools must, of course, be
organized.
1 beg, in conclusion, to invite yonr
attention to the following table,

H e* rt-Hun gry.
Some hearts go hungering through the world,
And never find tile love they seek;
Some lips with pride or scorn are curled
To hide the pain they may not speak.
The eyes may flash, the mouth may smile,
The voice in giddiest mirth may thrill,
Aud yet beneath them all the while
The hungry heart is pining still.
These know their doom and walk their way
With level steps and steadfast eyes. .
Nor strive with late, nor weep nor pray—
While others, not so sadly wise,
Are mocked by phantoms evermore,
And lured t>y seenffngs of delight,
Fair to the eyes but at the core
Holding but bitter dust and bligUt
I see them gaze from wistful eyes, .
I mark their sign on fading cheeks,
I hear them breathe on smothered sighs.
And note the grief that never speaks ;
For them no might redresses wrong,
No eye with pity is impearled ;
Oh, misconstrued and suffering long,
Oh, hearts that hunger through the world.
For you does life’s dull desert hold
No fouutain shade, no date grove fair.
No gush of waters clear and cold.
But sandy beaches wide and bare.
The foot may fail, the soul may faint.
And weigh to earth the weary frame,
Yet still ye make no weak complaiut,
And speak no word of grief or blame.
h, eager eyes which gaze afar !
Oh, arms which clasp the empty air !
Not all unmarked your sorrows are,
Not all unpitied yonr despair.
Smile, patient lips, so proudly'dump—
When life’s frail tent at last is furled.
Your glorious recompense shall come.
Oh, hearts that hunger through the world.
Cliickamau^a.
If there are men here who were
in my division at Chickamauga and
were on the left on that terrible
morning, they will remember that
fearful fight lasted for three hours
on that end of the line, when the di
visions of Baird and Johnson and my
own were resisting for three hours
one of the fiercest attacks I ever
witnessed, in any battle during the
war. If you visited that battle field
afterwards, you will remember that
all the trees were torn and marked
with bullets. If you observed that
bloody field, you saw that theTte
were hundreds of men lying dead
upon it, while more than a thousand
others were wounded. Who led that
charge on the rebel -side that day;
who was it; who, when they were
hurled back, rallied them and threw
them upon us? [‘Lorigstreet.’] Yes,
Longstreet; and yet more than two
years ago he was appointed by Gen
eral Grant to one of the most valua
ble offices in bis gift, Surveyor at
New Orleans. If General Grant
can give a valuable office to Long-
street, whe burled upon us those
masses, and who, when they were
driven back, and reformed them,
and hurled them upon us again, ean
not you forgive Horace Greely for*
signing Jeff. Davis' bail bond ? [Ap
plause.] From Gov. Palmer’s Great
Speech.
Masculine vs. Femintan Hero
ism. — Miss Emilie Liemberger, a
y< ung woman whom the reporters
describe as “beautiful,” and wear
ing remarkable good clothes, was
found dead interbed at a Pittsburg
hotel the other day. She had dons
laudanum,, and her reasons
werp set fbeth in the following note
of explanation:
I took my liffe on this 5th day of
June, 1872, for the man T love. I
:qve a dear man, and nobody can
tear him from me, and this man is
Mr. Fred Pilot.
What a-contrast her case to that
of the frenzied Brooklyn youth who
recently bought a bottle' of lauda
num, wrote a note lull of the sweet
sadness of suicide to the cruel fair
who-had gone back on him, walked
out into the w^ods, climbed a five
burned fence, took the “cold pison"
from the vest pocket nearest his
lacerated heart, aojd bidding a last
adieu to earth—threw the disgusting
stuff away! ' . ,
Wall Street Gift.—#EH Per
kins” tells tlris story in the New
York Commercial Advertiser:
Coming up from New York yes
terday, I met a p°° r disconsolate
Wall street broker. His heart seemed
broken, and his face was ffie picture
of despair. I had been usher at his
wedding a few months before, when
he seemed the picture of happiness,
so smiling, I. said:
“Why, Charley! what has hap
pened—what makes you so sad ?” I
asked.
“O Eli,” he sighed, “I am all
broken up. I have met with a dread
ful misfortune.”
“What is it, Charley?” I urged
sympathetically.”
“O, Eli, Nellie, my dear wife, is
deadl” and then he broke down
•Pretty soon be continued, “Yes, I’m
all broken up. I don’t take any in
terest in anything now. My mind is
constantly with my poor angel wife.
I dream of her all the .time, in the
morning and at night, and—by the
way, Eli, t how did you say Erie
closed to-night ?”
“Erie is down, and they are ‘ail
off,” Charley.”
“Well, that’s cheering,” he sob
bed, “for when I got ‘short’ of Nel
lie, I went ‘short’ of the whole mar
ket, and it’s really very consoling in
my great grief to find things looking
so cheerful on the street ?”
Rest satisfied with doing well,
and leave others to talk as they will.
A Georgia Invention—Dr. L.
Heins, of Brunswick, has patented a
method qf propelling canal boats by
steam, with which he proposes to
compete for the prize of a hundred
thousand dollars offered by the State
of New York. The Brunswick Ap
peal thus describes the invention:'
Dr. Heins, in his invention, uses
the paddle wheel, and places it at
the bow. near the forward part ot
the boat. The wheel here revolves
in an enclosed chamber, runniHg
along the centre and entire length
of the boat, its lower part beyig on
a level with the bottom of the boat,
which enclosed chamber receives
the water displaced by the wheel at
the prow and discharges it at the
stern of the boat. This arrangement,
it is elaimed, prevents the swell oc :
casioned by the displacement of the
water by tbe wheel or screw and ob
viates any commotion that would
disturb the bottom of the canal from
the water passing under the boat,
the whole force of this c'ommotion
being expended upon the bottom and
sides of the enclosed chamber before
being discharged at the stern. The
only swell, consequently, tha't can
arise is that produced by the dis
placement of the boat itself which is,
in a great measure, counteracted
by the sharp sections of the prow
formed by the enclosed chamber.
Heins, it seems, solves the question
of propulsion in a manner so quiet
as to prevent washing, yet it is con
ceded that the solution of this ques
tion and the adoption of the princi
ple upon which it is solved, invol-
vees some minor disadvantages
in other directions, among which
the principal is the reduction of
the capacity for receiving freights.
This disadvantage, however, is of
but little importance when compared
with the advantages gained in favor
of rapid and quiet motion.
