Wednesday, Jan. 10, IK7—.
Meeting of tlic iAglslature.
Tlic Legislature convenes to-day
to inauguaralc Col. Janies M. Siniili,
elected Governor at tlic recent elec
tion. It has been apprehended that
Governor Conley nould rosist the
inauguration of Col. Smith upon the
ground,that under the Com-tii niion,he
was entitled to hold the office during
rtn I look’s unexpired term. l?tit re
cent indications are that ho will not
he sustained in this usurpation by
Grant’s administration, and it is
therefore presumed that ho will
quietly retire.
Tha whole government of the
State, except tho Judiciary, will he
in the hands of the Democratic
party, and upon the party rests the
responsibility of correcting tbo abuses
which have grown up under the for
ruer administration. The extrava
gant expenditure of the public mon
ey is one of the evils whi, h calls
loudly tor reform. The power and
influence of lings and monopolies
should he broken up, as they tsnd
directly to corruption *nd kuop
around the capitol a class of profes
sional lobbyists, with one hand in
tho Treasury, as tho reports of tho
Treasurer for the last year shows. A
measure which hss uot sufficient
merit in it to recommend itself and
requires tho effivts of paid lobby
agents to secure it s passage ought, in
tune cases out of ten, to he defeated.
The condition of the school fund
deserves the attention of (tie Legisla
ture. What has become of it! is a
question wo bear every day. Teach
ers throughout the State have devo
ted J.heir time to educating the chil.
dien upon tbo promise of tbe State,
ami not one dollar lias yet been re
ceived so far as we have been able to
learn.
We have great confidence in the
honesty and ability of our newly
elected Governor aad therefore wait
with patience until lie gels properly
in jlie harness, when we hope to see
nu iti f n 1111 isll a tTiTfr*Mooch will coin -

Monument to the Confederate
Dead.
In our advertising columns will
he found the new scheme of the
Monumental Association, offering
for distribution five hundred thou
sand dollars’ worth of prizes —only
that amount in tickets to be sold.
The price of each ticket is five
dollars, until the first of February,
and after that date ten dollars.
The capital prize is the Magruder
tamper and gold mines, in Lincoln
county, with nine hundred aciosof
hind attached, valued at $150,000.
They also propose distributing 8100-
000 in United States inriciiey, and
and 410 hales of cotton, be
sides other valuable pnoperty.
The character of the Gentlemen
who have charge of the distribu
tion is sufficient guarantee that
there will be no unfair dculing, as
is generally the case with ordinary
lotteries. The names of Gcn’ls
MeLaws, Wright, Stovall, Gard
ner, and Bryan, are familiar to the
people of Georg.a. 'ihcrc are
hundreds of men in this and sur
rounding counties, who in the
tried men's souls, fol
lowed thi/'k.fd of these gallant
heron into the jaws of death—
the childly breech-—the daring
charge, the skillful rtreat —they
''illustrated Georgia” upm an hun

personal efforts to the
memory of our “falwlwravcs,” by
erecting a suitable vAiiiim-ill to

Georgia appreciates the devotion of
her eons.
Monuments have Ik-c.i ercctt d

To music of the cannon’s roar;

The School Funds.
The question is often asked,
“When will the School Funds be
disti ilitltcd ?”
Before giving information ns to
the above question I will say,
that in conformity to the Act of
1870, the people selected a School
Commissioner lor each district and
three Trustees.
The Commissioners were com
missioned and entered upon their
duties in conformity to the law.
and tho Trustees, in the most of
the distiicts, did likewise.
Some of the Commissioners had
no direct personal interests in the
benefits to be confered by the
Act, but, that their county might
obtain its j>r<> rata share of the
fund, at some sacrifice of time and
convenience, met and oiganized,
and assembled from time to time
to carry into.effect the require
ment of the law for the benefit of
the people of ®ur county.
Teachers were examined—cer
tificates granted, and schools es
tablished by the ’trustees —an enu
meration of the pupils in each
sub-district was made—at consid
erable loss of time —by the Trus
tees mostly, in others, by men cm
ployed by the Board, to be paid
out of the school funds.
in some instances, teachers
were brought from other counties
and employed under the assurance
that they would be paid out of the
school funds, which would be re
ceived, at furthest, by the end of
the year. Much time, and some
expense, was spent by Col. Glen*:,
the “School CoiHinissione-, in vis
iting the schools throughout the
county, us the law directs.
At the October meeting of the
Board, it was stated by Col. Glenn,
that the State School Commission
er, Gen. Lewis, had notified him
that “the money for Gwinnett
county would be sent in balk in a
short time.”
The Board passed a resolution
at that meeting, directing,—that
when the funds should lie received
—the President of the Board
should give notice of the fact
through the county newspaper,
and set a day therein to be speci
fied for the Board to convene, and
further, that all teachers be there
by notified to attend said meeting
with their accounts, that they
might be audited, and ordered to
be paid by the Treasurer.
A circular of the State School
Oommissiuncr, Gen. Lewis, of
December 19th, discloses the fact,
“That no funds are ready to be
distributed and are not likely to
be!”
And this is the answer I have
to give to the above question I
The question now arises : what
has beeoine of the School Fund?
Certain Bank Stock owned hy
the State —some of it available—
the poll tax, liquor tax, tax on
shows, and half the nett earnings
of the Western & Atlantic rail
road, by the law of 1870 was set
apai t exclusively for a school fund.
If the poll tax of ’69 and ’7O is
not available, where is the money
arising from tho other sources
named ? What has bec<> ue of the
twelve thousatul five hundred dollars
per month paid in by tlie Western
A Atlantic railroad during the
past year? Where is the money
arising from the Bank Stock, the
liquor tax, tax ou shows and the
poll tax of 1871? What lias be
come of all tins fund ? Why has
it boon diverted from the purpose
intended hy the constitution and
laws of the State ?
_ ll<* - bt'cTT i.;'ken toj>ay the
expenses of the State Govern*
mont, the /kt diem of “our ser
vants” (save the murk!) and the
stealings of the officials of the
State ?
1 will not pretend to say where
the blame lies. It is somewhere,
and is an outrage upon the peo
ple ! Wc are defrauded out of
our rights. The School Hoards
and Trustees—unintentionally
playing a farce —acting the fool,
and the teachers and people have
lost the money that is justly theirs
unless some future legislation
shall correct the outrage.

A Chib! Brutally Outragcd'liy I
a Negro at Rochester.
Rochester, N. Y., January 2. —
On Saturday last a negro, twenty
five years of age, decoyed a little
girl named Ocho, ten years of age,
into the commons, just outside the
city and Committed a terrible out
rage upon her, also striking her
on the face with his fist. She
wandered into the town of Brigh
ton, having to cross over on the
ice of the canal, river and feeder
to do so. She sought refuge in a
house, when her condition was as
certained and word scut to the
police. The girl gave such a de
scription of the scoundrel as ena
bled the police to suspect who the
rascal was, and they captured
him this morning at the house of a
relative in Penfieiu. He was
brought to the city and taken be
fore the girl, who identified him.
The people mado an attempt to
lynch him, but the police fought
them off, using their revolvers in
doing so. The girl is in a preca
rious coifdition. The excitement
over the affair isgreat, and tlueats
are freely made against the life of
the negro.
Rochester, N. Y., January 3. —
From three until eleven o’clock
this morning the city was compar
atively quiet. Four companies of
the fifty-filth regiment are guard
ing the jail and its approaches,
and loaded cannon arc placed to
command the bridges.
At eleven o’clock the crowd as
sembled, and thero is a good deni
of hooting of the military, but no
overt act was committed. At half
past eleven some one placed on
the coral in the slip of Court
street, a Hag on which were the
words, “Avenge Your Brothers.”
Brigadier General Clarke tore it
down, and the crowd rushed upon
him, and for a short time he was
in peril, but was released, and fire
arms were handed to him by his
friends.
The Sheriff has ordered the re
maining six companies of the 54th
regiment, and they are now as
sembling at the arsenal. It is
feared there will bn more trouble
this afternoon and evening.
The authorities are determined
to defend the jail, but they wish
the negro Howard well of it.
Further particulars of the shoot
ing last evening show that the
soldiers were pelted by the mob
with brickba o and stones, and
several were injured. The order
to charge was given and some of
the men fired instead.
LATER.
A considerable crowd is about
the jail, hut the heavy rains check
excitement. J7o violence since
noon. Preparations are made to
meet every emergency. The ne
gro Howard has been indicted.
The police charged the mob
gathered around the jail, driving
them through the streets in every
direction. A great crowd is now
(four o’clock) in Buffalo street, at
the intersection of State. Four
veteran companies have been
sworn in as special police. Seve
ral soldiers who stepped out of the
lines were knocked down by the
mob.
Howard will not be brought
before the court until it is known
whether the victim will die.
Important to the Holders of
Mutilated Currency.
It is announced by the Treasu
ry Department that from and after
