Louisville, Ga:
THURSDAY. JANUARY 4, 1872.
Governor Palmer, of Illinois, has sent
su agent to Washington to remonstrate
with the President upon the continued
tinder color of military au
thority in toat State. The Northern
States, one by one, are beginning to
IMthtv' kfi themselves. They will
became restless, after a while, under the
gradual but steady departure of their
right of local self-government.— At Sun.
Ex-Gov. Joseph E. Brown has pub
lished a scathing reply to one Isaac See
ly, who sent him from Washington city
a circular requesting his co-operation in
getting negroes to testify that they were
denied the right of suffrage in Georgia by
the laws requiring the payment of taxeß
as a qualification of voters ! The unprin
cipled meddler actually proposed that if
the Democrats should fail to challenge
negro voters on aecount of the nou-pay -
nient of their taxes, the Radicals should
challenge them, and then complain to
Congress that the negroes were deprived
of the right to vote by State laws.
Bank failures in New York are be
coming of frequent occurrence of late.
Only a few days since auuouucemcnt was
made of the Oconee Bank crash, and ru
mors now prevail that there is trouble in
the Bank of the Commonwealth. The
Berald, in commenting on the suspen
sions, says the trail of the Tammany
Ring serpent is traced more or loss clear
ly In all instances.
Farewell, Blodgett!
If the mills of the gods grind slowly,
• it is said that they grind surely, and
exceeding fine. The Radical leaders
in Georgia, says the Savannah Repub*
lie,in, are beginning to realize this fact.
With the admission of Mr. Norwood to
his sent iu the Senate, wo have the end
of Blodgett’s civil career—his criminal
career has already commenced. This
bold, unscrupulous, bad man is reaping
his reward. And so will it be with ail
fellow-conspirators against the white peo
ple of Georgia. Bullock has fled from
the scene of his crimes, and is now a
fugutive on foreign soil. Some have
found their way into the State peniten
tiary, while a goodly number are under
indictment for theft and other crimes
against the State. Let the sweep be a
clean one, and the record prove a warn
ing through all time to men who set
themselves against society, and for per
sonal gain cut loose from all ties of hon
or and right—and common honesty that
restrain the conduct of Christian men.
The unscrupulous villainy and corrup
tion of these men are without a parallel
in our history, aod the brand to be put
upon should be indelible. The world
should be taught, through them, that
the way of the transgressor is hard, and
that Justice, however tardy, never fails
to overtako the guilty.
What Fuy Says. —The New York
Sun says: A Philadelphia detective,
after a long chase, has captured and
sent to Georgia for trial, a State Agent
named Joseph Fry, who is accused of
defrauding the State. He was station
ed in Philadelphia to purchase railroad
supplies, and by forwarding bills for
goods that were never bought, succeeded
in pocketing about $50,000 for himself.
To the officer who arrested him he ac
knowledged his guilt, but pleaded that
he was only following the example of
Bullock, Blodgett, and others who had
formed a ring for the transaction of just
such business, and expressed the belief
that he would never have been arrested
if he had divided the plunder with his
superiors.
The Education Laic. —lu response to
the inquiries of “County Commissioner,’’
iu another column, says the Atlanta
Constitution, in regard to the free school
law, we would state that the law is un
changed. A bill to amend it did not
reach action in both Houses.
In regard to the eight thousand dol
lars, we know nothing. The public will
be pleased to hear from Commissioner
Lewis, the Comptroller General, and the
Treasurer. As Gov. Bullock is in his
retirement, we cannot immediately hear
from him. Perhaps he left word on
this matter in that document satisfacto
rily explaining the State finances, to
which he alluded in his farewell letter,
but which explanation Mr. Conley eith
er didn’t get, or has withheld in justice
to his virtuous and economical Rufus.—

BUBNS—The Poet.
Turning the leaves recently of a Bi
ble that once belonged to a dear female
relative of mine, whose happy spirit haß
long since winged its way to the Chris
tian’s “home, sweet home” in the starry
regions—where I hope to meet her when
I shall have left this sin-eursed world—
I found.on a slip of printed paper the
following stanzas from the immortal mind
of the gifted Burns. But first, a pre
liminary explanation : Not more than a
mile from the village of Tarbolton, close
to the river Ayr, ie “the scene of Burns’
la»( and truly affeeting interview with
Mary Campbell." This pions, intellec
tual lady stole away from home, near
by. on a beautiful Sabbath in May, and
eu the meadow hank of this crystal
stream, she read and pondered the words
of inspiration that pointed her to anoth
er river over which she must soou pass
aud to tho happy country beyond. When
weary with reading and meditating, she
was wout to look up at the bright cano
py above, and trace with her eye the
soit fleecy clouds that glided smoothly
along beneath the cerulean sky; some
times she would watch with great inter
est the little silver fishes that sported in
the limpid waves that gently flowed and
waved along, humming the music of na
ture. Sweet Mary was pure in heart,
gifted and good natured. She was hap
py —how could she be otherwise!
While thus engaged, the great Poet
made his appearance and immediately
joined her company. Her mind waa
■ow directed to anew (1) subject entire
ly ; for, Burns with pale face and pal
pitating heart, whispered in her ear the
soft accents of welcome courtship; her
lovely face was instantly suffused with
a modest blush, but her tongue, true to
nature, gave a favorable response ! Burns
was happy, and I guess she was too! It
was truly an affair of love, not policy.
‘Their mutual faith was plighted,, first
by laving their hauds iu the pure stream,
and then crossing them upon Mary’s Bi
ble!” This may appear a strange cere
mony, but remember, that one was a po
et and the other poetical. This world is
full of shadows and lights; sometimes
our sky is bright, then again it is over
cast with dark clouds, aud life is rather
a burden than otherwise. This May Sab
bath was one of the brightest days of
Burns nnd Mary—they parted perfectly
happy !
Mary, before their marriage, conclud
ed to visit her friends in Argylesltire,
expecting us goon as she returned, that
their nuptials would be celebrated and
the golden knot tied for life. But alas!
for humau hopes and prospects—she
never came back. Ou her return sho
sickened aud died at Grenock. When
they .parted ou the beautiful bank of
Ayr, with hearts full of love aud hope,
little did they then think that they
would never see each other again in
this world.
“Burns retained through life the most
devoted remembrance of this early at
tachment.” Sweet Mary was ever in
his wind ; ho thought of her by day and
dreamed of her by night —this it what 1
call love ! In the lapse of time, Burns
courted again and married. His wife*
after she became a widow, made the fol
lowing statement, which will thrill every
heart with emotion, that is not made of
iron :
‘‘Many years after our marriage, and
on the anniversary of the death of‘High
laud Mary,’.after working hard all day
iu tho field, though out of breath, be
wanderod into the barn-yard, where he
•mained so long, that I became alarmed
nt his absence, and repeatedly sent him
word to come in, which he promised to
do but lie remained stretched upon a
mass of straw, with his eyes fixed upon
a beautiful planet, that shone brightly
’til a late hour. On entering tho house
he called for his desk, and immediately
wrote the following sublime and pathet
ic lines”:
Thou lingcting star with lessening ray,
That lov'st to greet the early morn ;
Again thou usher’st in the day,
My Mary from my soul was torn.
Oh, Mary ! dear departed shade,
Where is thy place of blissful rest!
See’st thou thy lover, lowly laid !
Hcar'st thou the groans that rend his breast’’
That sacred hour can 1 forget,
Can I forget the hallow'd grove,
Where, by the Ayr we met,
To live one day of parting love.
Eternity will ne’er efface
Those records dear of transports past i
Thy image at our last embrace ;
All! little thought wo ’twas our last.
If I remember correctly, Burns finally
died a miserable drunkard in the city
of Edinburgh. It is well with many of
us that Providence hides our future in
the mysterious depths of His own inscruj
table mind. Could Burns and sweet
Maryhavc seen their future, they would
have been robbed of the few happiostdays
of their lives.
The Sandersville Georgian says a
gentleman who has traveled extensive
ly through that county gives the follow
ing as his observation. Planters are
finding no difficulty iu procuring an
abundance of labor. The tendency is
to reduce rather than increase the area
cultivated last year. An unusually
large quantity of small grain has been
sowed. Not more than a fourth of the
amount of commercial manures used the
past year will bo used uext. The peo
ple have but litfle money, but the sup
ply of provisions is good. Planters
generally intend to raise provision crops
next year. The country is in a healthy
and prosperous condition. The cotton
ciop has fallen far short of what planters
believed it would be even a few weeks
since. The freedwen have generally
worked well the past year and are con
tracting freely for the next. A good
state of feeling exists between the two
races.
Tho Houston Home Journal, of Sat
urday, 6ays : Last Tuesday a negro
man and his wile, living on Warren
Harris’ place, about ten milos north of
Perry, locked up their three children in
their cabin and went off to Fort Valley.
They were gouo all day, aud when they
returned they found the house burnt to
the ground and the children consumed
in it. It is supposed that the children
played with the fire, and that tho house
caught accidentally. It waa in a field,
some distance from auy other bouse,
hence no one knew that it was on fire.
Office of Conatj School Contmissiont t,
Louisville, Ga., Oct. 15, 1871.
Hon. J. G. Cain, PresidtHl of Countij.
Board of Education, 4r e.
Sis: I have the honor to submit to
you, according to law, an abstract of tbc
educational interests and condition of
the county of Jefferson for the year
ending August 31st, IS7I.
Although the election lor School Offi
cers took place early iu January, aud
the County Board was organized eaily
in February, yet the elections were so
badly managed and so many officers
elect refused to qualify and serve—ren
dering it necessary to have suitable sub
stitutes recommended to, and appointed
by the Governor, that' the Board was
not ready for efficient action before the
firat of July—just two mouths before the
close of the first scholastic year. A
common school system was new to the
people, and the law under which
it waa started, though good iu its
design, is cumbersome and objectionable
in many of its features, and therefore
very unpopular to many ; copies of it,
aithall, were scarce, and the largo num
ber of officers elect requited time to un
dersold the law and their duties under
it, and come to co-operate harmoniously
in trying to carry out faithfully its pro
visions. My duties, as executive officer
of tho Board, wero chiefly to act as me
dium of communication between the
State Commissioner of Education and
the County Board and officers nud
schools, to collect nnd report statistics —
to license teachers —to advise with Trus
tees in arranging school sites, houses
aud teachers—to distribute instructions
and blanks from the State Department,
and to do whatever else was necessary in
order to tho efficiency of the schools of
tho county. These duties, from causes
already referred to, have been very inef
ficiently and fruitlessly performed. Yet
I have done the best I could do under
the circumstances. And the statistics
elicited have convinced me that a com
mon school system is an absolute neces
sity to Georgia. And however it might
be maintained, though it were by a di
rect properly tnx, still it wero the
est and cheapest road to that intelli
gence which feels that honesty is the
best policy. The effort to shield the in
terests and maintain the individual lights
of communities by Courts of'Justice, pen
alties, goals, chain gangs, Irciros of cor
rection, and all the forms of coercion,
costs each individual in that commuuity
far more in the end thau it will to se
cure law, order, peace, sobriety, indus
try, economy, truth, integrity aud all the
tho true shields of individuals nnd tlicir
rights, by educating the great public
mind and heart. Jefferson is one of (lie
oldest, and I believe, is generally con
ceded to be one of the most staid, law
abiding. intelligent counties iu tho Slate.
And yot out of a population of 1707
white children of school age in the comi
ty, there wero ouly about 400 who at
tended school any part of the year front
September IS7O to September ’7l. I
am unable to report whether this is an
average attendance for post years or not.
If it be, igttoranco and vice go hand in
hand, and must both increase in a fear
ful ratio where not quite one-fourth of
I lie white population—only about one
twelfth of the whole school population
enjoy any of the advantages of oduca"
tion. In June last I found fourteen pri
vate sckocls in existence, or having ex
isted, iu the year, for longer or shorter
terms. Some two of them were large
and flourishing—the rest small and lan
guishing for patronage —the highest
numbering 90, the lowest, 4 pupils, and
averaging a little over 28 pupils. If
ogr motto were, “the more ignorance the
more bliss,” tho above statistics would
prove our present system of private
schools all sufficient. But if “wisdom is
the principal thing,” we need a change.
And, to say nothing of patriotism, phi
lanthropy, civilization, Christianity, it
ware far cLeaper to the property holder
to maintain a system of common schools
even by direct taxation alone, if it must
be so, than to meet the expenses inci
dent to lawlessness, the losses incident
to want of information, and the injuries
to person and property growing out of
the want of general education. 1 tried
to institute a comparison, but failed to
get some of the data necessary to com
plete it, but ascertained enough to know
that jails and jail fees, court) costs and
time lost by attendance on courts and
juries, cost tho county more money last
year, than all that was paid out for edu
cation, to say nothing of the loss by ar
son, theft, malicious mischief, Ac.—re
sults of want of education.
The duties required of school officers
have been new and somewhat onerous,
and had to be performed without any
compensation, save the internal rewards
of conscious duty done. And the dis
advantages rendered it impossible to
complete tho work in time for my annual
report to the S:ato Commissioner. But
I made it as complete as possible, and
gave promise that my successor would
be ready to furnish a perfect Report
next September.
I have ascertained that there are
4.575 children of school age in the coun
ty, viz : 1,707 whites, and 2,868 blacks.
Arrangements have been made to
start two schools in each of the nine dis
tricts of the county —one for the whites
ar.d one for the blacks.
Many of these schools are iu success
ful operation, or have closed their first
term, and will doubtless ask you to audit
their accounts at yettr first meeting in
December.
We have found great difficulty in
starting some of the colored schools from
the lack of teachers willing to take
charge of them. We also had some dif
ficulty in selecting the most eligible and
equitable sito for the schools in somo of
the districts. This evil can only be
remedied as the schools arc multiplied
and the system perfected.
The private echOol houses in most of
tho districts wero kindly turqed over,
free of cob!, to tho Trustees for public
schools. Good comfortable houses in
suitable places were also offered for col.
ored schools In only one district, where
no private school-house existed, was it
necessary for the Trustees to ask for,
and order the levy of a special tax to
prepare houses. In one district a small
tax was called for to assist in necessary
repairs.
I hare examined twenty-four teachers
and given them license—one colored,
the rest whits. Many of them are not
only good scholars but practical teachers,
and an honor to that honorable profes
sion and worthy of the highest public
confidence.
In a very few cases I gave teacher’s
license where the scholarship was not so
good as might be desired. But the dif
ficulties of obtaining teachers for colored
schools, nnd the hope that even inferior
scholarship might be very useful and
profitnb'e in such schools, prompted me
in these few exceptional cases to make
the standard as low as the law and in
structions from the Department of Edu
cation would permit.
The law makes it the duty of the
Trustees in each sub department to pre
pare a correct map of their several dis
tricts. These were to be adjusted to
gether by the County Commissioner and
reported to the State Commissioner.
But the County Board, very justly con
templating a possible failure by some of
the districts, aud difficulties to be en
countered in all of them, advised the
County Commissioner either to make, or
secure some competent person to make
the entire map of the county with all the
districtsclearly marked.
Accordingly I employed Mr, Isaac F.
Adkins, the County Sttrvyor, an expert,
and eutirely familiar with the geography
of the county, to do the work. He com
pleted the work satisfactorily, and it was
exhibited to the Board. He makes the
very moderate charge of ten dollars for
his service.
I include this item in my hill of char
gee against the Board as County Com
missioner, first, because it was properly
the work of the Commissioner, though
he might procure it done secondly, 1
would have charged the Board as much
or more if I had dono the work myself
thirdly, the pay should come from the
public school fund aud tho Board can
not pay from that fund any charges
save those of teachers and County Com
missioner. If the Board shall see proper
to sustain the ebargo as proper and rea
sonable (as I think it) iu my bill, 1 will
become personally responsible to the
maker of the Map. And I beg permis
sion to add that if no such tbiug be there
already, then a copy of this most excel
lent and accurate Map, perfect and very
full aud minute, ought to he on file, cith
er in tho office of your Board or some
other public office of the county
for purpose of reference. The law
makes it the dutjp of your Board to fix
the number of days in which the Coun
ty Commissioner, may labor for the
schools, and the experience of tho year
has convinced me that it were wise and
economical itt the Board to require my
successor to give at least a third bettor
a half, two thirds or all of his time to
tho work ; many counties have done so
in tho closing year, and the advanced
and prosperous condition of their lie
ports and schools show tho wisdom of
their action.
The Legislature presumed too far up
on unrequited individual exertions in
tho structure of the school law. The
adage, true every where-else doubly so
here, “what is everybody’s business is
nobody’s business.” The Trustees and
local Commissioners receive no compen
sation. Yet the duties required of them
are numerous, troublesome aud often
very unpopular. They are privato citi
zens mostly engaged in agriculture, and
cannot give to school ditties the time
their importance demands. Their uum
bar is large, about thirty seven or forty
scattered over the county and evou in
their own districts, so that they cannot
meet and co-operate without groat incon
venience and muoh loss of time. The
system as it now exists is vary convex.
This is its greatest objection. It re
quires much time and study to become
familiarised. 4od withal, it nevor can
be unified in its operations by forty dis
ferent minds, as well as it could by ono
mind which had made itself familiar
with all the details and requirements of
tho system. And if time were allowed
to the Conuty Commissioner who re
ceives only a very meagre compensation
ho could and would perform nine tenths
of the work now assigned to the local
boards. He would he the executive,
not only of the County Board but all
the local boards, these officers would bo
relieved to a good degree statistics would
be arranged, aud reports perfected in
good time and sameness of form, schools
would be visited, teachers assisted in
making returns, and all parts of the
system receive form and order in the
county. I prosume tbereforo to suggest
that your Commissioner he required,
whoever he may bo, to take charge as
Superintcndant of the entire seboofwork
in the county subject only to the law
aud tho supervision of the Board, nnd
to give it as much of his whole time as
may be necessary to do all the work or
derly and with system. His salary de
ducted from the public school fund
would be but a very insignificant item
in comparison with the greater, good
which would result. But if tho commis
sioner shall continue to be bound down
to only a few days of employment atrd
all the work shall continue to be required
of local trustees many of them have al
ready resigned or tefused to serve from
this cause and many more will do so, and
much trouble and confusion will ensue.
And the law lias very wisely left this
whole matter to the discretion of the
County Board.
Very recently the State Commissioner
informed nte that the consolidated re
turn sent up from this county was so im
perfect that we could uot draw the coun
ties share of the public school fuud up
on it, as it constitutes the basis of appor
tionment. Only four districts of the
county had then reported to me aud on
ly five have yet reported. No alterna
tive was then left but for the county to
lose its pio rata share of tho tnonoy,
or for me to assume the responsibility
and make out a report from such data
ns were on file in my office, for defaulting
districts. I did so, and have forwarded
such return as complete as I could make
it, with the hope that it may yet be in
time, and though necessarily imperfect
may secure our distributive sitaro of
public monies. This circumstance gives
weight to the suggestion which I brg
leave to press upon the calm considera
tion of the Board, that they authorize
and require tho County Commissioner to
tako charge cf the greater pait of tho
entire work and visit and assist all the
Trustees and spend enough of time to
have all the miuute details of the work
wall done and in-good time.
In taking leave of the Board allow me,
sir to express to you and through you,
to the 13 >xrd, my most cordial thanks
for your i. early co-operation and ceaseless
urbanity in all our official intercourse.
Respectfully submitted,
