StST The Conductor of the train on
the Savannah & Charleston R. R.
due at Savannah at 9.15 on the l*7th
inst., fearing that the bridge was inse

the engine and attempted to cross.
The result was, that the engine went
into the river and the engineer and
fireman were picked up a quarter of a
mile below.
Nine citizens of Polk county,
w'cie carried to Atlanta the first of
this week, being charged with beating
and maltreating one Mastin Allred.
In their preliminary trial before the
U.S.Commissioner, they were discharg
ed, the evidence of Allred being im
peached, as well as that of his wife and
children conflicting, r ihe question
the Commissioner said was:
“Which should we believe? The
testimony of those whose character was
established by the most respectable
citizens, or the testimony of those
whose character for veracity was
doubtful? “The former unquestiona
bly,*’ said Commissioner Smith, “and
therefore release the prisoners'.”
865“ The Atlanta papers have been
filled, for the past two or three weeks,
with accounts of the arrests of various
parties charged with defrauding, swind
ling, thieving, Ac, while connected
with the State road, under Blodgetts
administration. These arrests have
been made prineipaly upon warrants
issued by the Investigating Committee
appointed by the last Legislature, to
look into the past management of this
property. The action of this com
mittee so far has developed, what has
all along been suspected, the deepest
corruption, and most outrageous
swindling and open handed thieving
of the people's money, by officials high
in position, and prominent individuals
not connected with the road. The
fact that this property, tor some time
before its lease, though considered one
of the best paying railroads in the
country, failed to pay a cent into the
State Treasury, when capitalists were
anxious to lease it at $25,000. per
month, is prima facie evidence that
there was ascrew loose somewhere, and
that something was awfully “rotten in
Denmark ” It is to be hoped now
that the investigation has coimneuced,
that none will be spared the closest
scrutiny,upon whom there rests the least
taint of suspicion of conniption, and
that the fullest justice may be meted
out to all, found guilt)' of this outran
ous thieving of the funds of the peo
ple*—funds which by the way, are de
voted at present to the most sacred of
of causes, viz; the education of their
children. It is too often the case, that
public thieving is connived at,and only
considered a special mark of cuteness,
and a thing inseparable trom politics,but
is it not high time that this false sen
timent was banished, and that he who
takes the public funds in an illegal or
improper manner, should be dealt with
as severely, as if lie had stolen from
ius fellow man?
Fun at Home.
Don’t be afraid ot a little fun at
borne, good people! If you want to
ruin your sons, let them think that all
mirth and social enjoyment must be
on the threshold without, when they
come home at night. When once a
home is regarded as onl y a place to
eat, drink and sleep in, the work is be
gun that ends in gambling houses and
reckless degradation.—Young people
must have fun and relaxation some
where; if they do not find it at their
own hearth stones, it will be sought
at other and perhaps less profitable
places. 1 herefore, let the fire burn
brightly at night, and make the home
stead delightful with all those little
arts that parents so perfectly under
stand. Don't repress the bouvant
spirit of your children. Halt'an hour
of merriment around the lamp and
firelight of a home, blots out remem
brance of many a care and annoyance
during the day; and the best safeguard
they can take with them into the world,
is the unseen influence of a bright lit
tle domestic sensation.

The Herald enters a doleful com

for a special road law for Coweta coun

by contract, leaving it optional
with citizens to pay in work or money.
It thinks under this plan they' will be

The following is from the Thomas
ton Herald in reference to a big fox
hunt in Middle Georgia:
We have been informed that arrange
ments are on foot, with the fox hunt
ers of Upson, Monroe, Jasper and
Jones counties, to have a big fox
hunt. One of the hunters has reques
ted us to suggest, as there is a fine
horn to the owner of the fastest clog,
that it would be well for each county
to have two judges, and desires to hear
from those interested. We think
there should be some arrangement of
this kind and not allow the hunters
themselves to decide who has the fast
est clog. We have engaged in the
sport some and have never seen a
regular hunter who did not have the
fastest dog.
The following sensible remarks up
on the formation of Farmer’s Clubs,
is taken from the McDuffie Journal
published at Thomson Georgia:
Farmer’s Clubs. —ln our opinion,
what a farmer most needs,is a thorough
knowledge of his profession, and iirno
pursuit is knowledge more indispen
sable. The Farmer’s Club, when prop
erly conducted , is, in every sense, a
school for the dissemination ot infor
mation pertaining to bis branch of bu
siness, and for the free discussions of
all questionsand topics which affect the
general w r elfare of its members.
Those who have been successful in
any particular branch ot husbandry,
communnicate the knowledge which
tlieir experience and more varied
knowledge may suggest ideas valuable
to all. Aside from the useful infor
mation that may be derived to all
connected with those clubs, there is a
social pride which may indeed he con
sidered as one of the crowning excel
lences of such organizations. Farmers
have less amusements, and fewer op
portunities for social recreation than
any other class; their isolation from
each other is one of the causes of this,
and the result is of course, that while
they work harder than any other clas
ses, they no doubt enjoy less of the
comforts and pleasures of life.
Many reasons might be urged and
extended to great length favoring the
organizations of these societies, which
cannot be set forth in a short and hasti
ly written article like this. We sub
mit the subject, therefore t-* our fann
ers, hoping they will carry out the
project until there shall be a well or
ganized working Farmer’s Club in ev
ery town in McDuffie county.
For the Crrroll tountv Time*.
Education,Public Instruction. &c.
Mr : Editor noticed in the last
number of the Times a communication
from the pen of J. L. Cobb, Esq., in
reply to a series of articles written by ,
me cm the subject of Education. Pub
lic School System, Ac.
I will notice in a brief way some of
the argument* made by my w orthy
and esteemed friend. I will state in
the outset that I am gratified to see
that the subject has been considered
as worthy of notice, by others bestcles
myself, and I sincerely hope tloit tins
controversy may lead to an investiga
tion by the people of the comity, and
tbat it may result in the triumph of
truth, and in the establishment of cor
rect principles. lam glad that the
question is being agitated, and discus
sed, because the attention of the people
will be diverted to it ! They will then
investigate it for themselves, and when
they do, (directed and controlled as
they will be by justice and
common sense,” as Brother C. w ould
say there will be no reason to fear the
result.
In the first place friend C., is oppos
ed to auy measure intended solely to |
enrich “office seekers.” So am I, and
I will assure him that I have not been
employed by this class to write the
articles referred to. on the contrary
“ office seekers,” are very hostile to
the principles therein advocated from
the fact that Education and Intelli
gence, strikes at the very foundation
of their success. They understand
very well that if the people are en
lightened that they w'ill seek the offi
cer, with a view to his qualifications,
his fitness, and his integrity, and that
“ office seekers” will play out.
But Mr. C. says that the State
School Commissioner gets $2500 for
his services. If he will notice the
duties and the amount of labor requir
ed of that functionary, he w r ill agree
at once that the compensation is not
exorbitant or extravagant. The coun
ty commissioner gets three dollars per
day for the time which is actually nee
essary, and for which he is actually
engaged, and the county Board are to
audit his accounts, and to say for how
many days he shall be paid. Is this
too much ? I think not. Mr. C. says
that if he labors 300 days his pay will
be S9OO, Mr. Brown, Brest, of the
board for this eounty peifomed his
duty well, and he will not claim pay
for more than 70 days. This will re
duce Mr. C’s figures considerably. The
net earnings of the W. A A. Rail
Road, for one rn.onth will nearly pay
that. The poll tax of the State would
amount to over $200,000, but my
friend says that “ the Legislature that
framed this system, when it became
necessary to serve party ends, after
1 hey had unconstitutionally used the
money for other purposes, declared the
collection of the poll tax unconstitu
tional and prohibited the collection of
the same. He fails to show wherein
the school fund was used unconstitu
tienally, and as for the collection of
the poll tax, my friend C. as a lawyer,
knows that no poll tax can be levied
and collected except for educational
purposes, and at that time there was
no system of education established,
and in consequence thereof had to be
suspended (the tax Was not declared
unconstitutional) till a system of pub
lic instruction should go into opera
tion. The next legislature ordered
the collection of the poll tax. They
did it because the law required them
to do it, a system having already been
organized.
Without charging any party with
having done it, it may he well enough 1
to mention the fact that the last legis
lature, has used every means to de
stroy the system, and to cripple the re
sources set apart for its support. In
the first place there was a tax (and a
just one) of 20 cents a gallon on liquor
retailed. This tax belonged to the
educational fund, and affoided con
siderable revenue. In their wisdom
(?) they abolished it. In the next
place the educational fund of the State,
consisted in a great measure of State
bonds, which previous to the meeting
of this “ next Legislature” were quo
ted at, and would command in the
market 92 cents in the dollar.
The “ Bond act,” (or more proper
ly the crippling act,) was passed, and
now the same Bonds are quoted dull
at 72 cents. Mr. C. complains that
teachers and employees have not been
paid. I think I can give the reason.
The time for payment had not arrived
when this crippling of the bonds took
place, and by the end of the fiscal
year they have so depreciated that they
could not he sold according to Law.
The law provides that they shall not be
sold for less than ninety cents , and of
course when they were reduced be
low tnat by subsequent legislation or
otherwise, there was no available fund
to pay with.
After finding fault to the system on
account of the great expense conse
quent to it, Mr. C. objects for the
further reason that the commissioners
get no pay. If that is all, it is easily
remedied, change the law wherever it
is necessary. I am not advocating
this measure, as being a model one,
i and fully adapted to the wants of the
I people. On the contrary I think as I
. stated at the beginning of this contro
versy that it will take some time to
modify and perfect it. lie says the
State of Georgia does not far exceed
the State of Vermont in the number df
white illiterate adults. The number
in the latter according to his own
statement is 9090. According to j
Carroll, Georgia would have 525 600 1
or fifty-eight times as many as Ver
mont.
“ Protection to person and property
is the paramount duty of government,
and shall be impartial and complete
says Mr. Cobb, so does the Constitu
tion of Georgia, and I endorse the sen
timent heartily, and unqualifiedly. I
refer to this as the ground work upon
which is based the arguments in favor
of a system of Public instruction. It
involves every principle connected
with the entire subject. It gives the
grand end and aim of all human gov
eminent, and it shows forth the object
of all civil laws. It embraces in its
ample provisions, the means and the
pow er for sustaining and perpetuating
our civil and domestic security, and it
is the basis of our State and National j
property It is the guarantee of our j
civil liberty, and the only safeguard |
against opposition, intrigue, and the
abuse of power. It is the fir-1 article |
in the declaration of rights. It is the
first sentiment which was breathed in
to our State constitution. l£ is the
corner stone that supports our system
of laws, and upon w hich the fabric of
government must depend. Its -bject
is the prosperity, happiness , and well
fare of the people, not of theffer,w r , but
of the many. Its provisions are inten
ded to aid the poverty stricken and
the unfortunate in obtaining and en
joying these blessings, and immunities,
as well as those w'ho are wealthy and
fortunate, and who happen to have
property w hich is subject to taxation.
It aims at producing a leveling in so
| cietv, not by tearing down one man
to build up another; not by taxing in
dustry to support indolence and va
grancy; not by robbing the coffers of
the rich to divide and distribute to the
poor, but to raise and derate the lower
classes to the level of the higher; not
to reduce the more intelligent toa level
w ith the base and the ignorant, but to
elevate the masses to a standard of
refinement and intelligence which will
wipe out and obliterate tlie lines of dis
tinction which are drawn, by reason
of wealth or property.
“ Protection to person and property
is the duty of the government and
shall he impartial and complete."
How r I ask in the name of reason,
in the name of justice, and in the
name of sacred truth can this be done
without giving to those who are to
administer the government, the means,
the power and facilities for executing
it ? This is a government of the peo
ple, cheated by the people! Carried on
and administered by the people ! Sup
ported by the people ! made and fram
ed for the people ! not by or for a por
tion of the people, but for the whole
people. The \cill of the people is the
law, and finds expression through their
representatives chosen at the ballot
box. Ought they not to exercise this
will wisely, discreetly and intelligent
ly. If the t dll of the people is the
supreme law of the land is it not impor
tant that they have an enlightened
will , in order to insure to our persons
and our property, impartial and com
plete protection; How can protection
to person and property be complete
when the most important department
of industry, is almost entirely unrep
resented in the Legislature ? I refer
to the great Agricultural interest ofthe
Slate. Upon this department every
other interest must depend, an* l yet
they absolutely have no voice in law
making. Professional and business
men are selected because they are bet
ter educated and better qualified, and
although they may be in the minority,
yet by their tact , skill and their supe
rior advantages, they are generally
enabled to earrv their point. The\
can couch their laws in uncertain
terms, in learned phases, and learned
technicalities, so that it will admit of
a doubtful or perhaps a double mean
ing. It is passed, and the honest and
well meaning farmer never sees the
point till he feels its evil effects, and
then he cant complain for he assisted
in making the law himself. Is this
impartial? Is this complete protec
tion to person and property ? The
only remedy for this as well as for
every other evil of like kind is found
hi Education-
But my esteemed triend objects be
cause the “ignorant negroes” will share
the benefits of a public school system.
Is lie in < arnest, is he candid in what
he says, is it possible that his prejudices
against the negro are so great that they
cannot be uprooted by considerations
of th vpublic good? Can it be true that
he deliberately makes up his mind to
oppose a system which will educate
399 ) white children because forsooth a
few negroes will share the benefit?
Surely my lirend is joking! Surely ho
would not he willing to sacrifice so
great an interest for a pretext so
small!
The negro is ignorant , and this is
a strong argument in favor of enlight
ening him. lie is a cAizen to all in
tents and purposes, and however disa
greeable the reflection may ho, we are
j forced to own that under the law , he
is regarded simply as a citizen and
entitled to all the priveleges of any
other citizen. He holds in his hand
that most powerful of all weapons the
ballot. He has a voice in the affairs
of the State, and in the councils of j
the nation. If he can vote despite
his ignorance, is it not important that
his ballot be as far as possible an in
telligent one % Ts he is to be a part of
the law making power is it not more
consistent with the dignity of the State
that he be informed in the common
rudiments of an education 1 He will
he sure to exercise his political privi
leges. He will vote; lie will be sent
to the legislature; white men must set
in the same body, and if this be the
case, a proper respect for ourselves,
and a due regard for decency Would
demand that he be improved as much
as possible.
By making him better, we make
society better, and the good of society
is individual good.
In conclusion let me remark that
I am not clamoring for the systew in
exclusion of all others, but by all means
let us have a school system. Policy
demands it: Justice renuires it: Rea
son and common sense ask it; and
the promptings of humanity, and
philanthropy plead in tones of mute
persuasion in its behalf.
