The Carroll Comity Times. CARROLLTON, GA. Feb. 23,1872. "EDWIN R. SHARPS Fditor. tr '■■■■■... ... - P. T. Robb lias resigned as Collector of Customs at Savannah. 'Thomaston is making preparations to build anew Baptist church, The war talk with which the papers were filled the past week has somewhat subsided. JWP Mi's. Oates the popular and tal ented petite actress, with her splendid troupe, will appear upon the boards at Atlanta next week. Tli 4 Post Master at Rome is trying to get up a tri-weekly mail from that place to Summerville and Trion Fac-* tciv. ■ ■ ■ J&dSr- The Atlanta Sun of the 20th reports the disappearance of Foster, Blodgett, from that place. No one knows where he has gone to. -«•» • S6U We see it going the rounds of the papers that the Post Master Gener al has issued circulars, requiring that the names of the county as well as the State ami Post office, be written upon address ofmali matter. 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 cure over the Savannah, uncoupled 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. Georgia Weekly Prcsa The Newnan Herald says that John ie Potts was arrested at the instance of the wife of Lewis Beavers, but after preliminary trial was discharged. A Swede named Mareen employed in the civil Engineer Department on the S. G. A N. A. R. R. was aiTested in Newnan last week, on a warrant from Monroe county charging him with enticing Swedish laborers from their employers. Mr. John R. Alexander has been ajjpomted assistant Postmaster of Newnan. * The Herald enters a doleful com plaint against the bad roads, and asks for a special road law for Coweta coun ty, by which the roads maybe worked by contract, leaving it optional with citizens to pay in work or money. It thinks under this plan they' will be well worked, as the interest of con tractors w ould be averse to idleness of laborers. The Newman Defender brags on a Mr. O. Wynn who raised during the past year, seven hundred and tw'enty five pounds of lint cotton upon one acre. The Heard County News conies to the front with the following: Oh the Girls. —We know of five females in this towm and vicinity hav ing five girl children, each—aggregate, 25! How' will that do for g-hals? We don’t want to hear any of “these country editors” say they can beat it, ’cause they can’t, taking the number of inhabit ants into the account. Calhoun is rapidly improving, says the Times. Mr. Joseph Y Tin,sly of Covington was found dead in his bed on Tues day 14th iust. Cause, intemperance. From the last LaGrange Reporter we learn time a little son of Wiley F. Jones, was accidentally shot by a little son of S. W. Swanson while out bird hunting. LaGrange is determind to have a brass band. The instruments have been purchased at a cost of $ 3-16,50. Col. C. W. Styles, Editor of the Al bany News, has been nominated byhis party, as a candidate for State Sena tor to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Hon. F. O. Welch. Mrs. Fannie Gilbert wife of W 11. Gilbert of Albany is dead. Mrs. Oates with her splendid troupe lias been playing in Albany. The county site of Telfair has been changed from Jacksonville to Station No. Eleven on the Macon A Bruns wick Railroad. And now' the editor of the Hawkins ville Dispatch, who is always in a streak of good luck, and has “some thing to fill up with,” has been preset* ted w ith nn Irish potato w eighing two and a quarter pounds. 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. G W. Merreli..
