TJK EXPOSITOR;
W A. “Y IST P'S 13 O-A.
SATURDAY. JANUARY 11. 1873.
A GRAND EDUCATIONAL SCHEME.
In this issue of Tiik Expositor will
bo found an able ami elaborate paper,
from tho pen of an eminent divine and
distinguished scholar of Georgia, upon
a subject of the highest importance to I
the people c f the State. Circumstances
hove delayed its publication by us; but
many of our leading journals have al- i
ready placed it before their readers,
and it is attracting almost universal !
attention. Nor is this surprising, for ■
it commends itself to lift l earnest and
thoughtful consideration of every citi- j
zen of the commonwealth. The pro
posed plan is only suggestive, its learn- [
cd author seeking now rather to excite
public interest in tho subject, and stim
ulate to action, than to insist upon tho
adoption of the scheme ss thus unfolded.
But for ourself wc are prepared to in
dorse the plan us a whole, not only as
feasible, but as wise and enlightened.—
There may be some trifling minor de
tails, not essential to the general scheme,
that might be altered, or amended, or
enlarged, as experience may suggest;
but as a whole we regard it as one of
the grandest educational schemes ever
presented to our people.
THE HERALD ON THE SOUTH.
The Norfolk (Va.) Journal touches i
a key note, says the Herald, when it ,
declared that a revolution in the man-!
ner of managing agriculture and manu
factures in the South is demanded.
What the South wants, it says, is a
full development of its agricultural
strength and tho establishment of man
ufactures. The time has passed for
big farms and broad plantations. Un
der the system of labor there should
be anew system of husbandry, and tho
extensive fields of the South subdivid
ed and thrown open to small farmers of
the North and Europe. The advanta
ges the soil and climate, the low price
of lauds and their proximity to mar
kets, should be freely advertised in the
papers of the North and West, and, we
might add, in view of the pressure of
foreign immigration, in European jour
nals.
In regard to manufactures, the South
wants them as they have them in Old
England and in New England, and the
way to accomplish this is to invite capi
tal from all parts of the world to come
to the South and assist in developing
her vast manufacturing and mineral
resources. And the best way to bring
about this desideratum is for the people
of the South to set themselves diligently
at work to restore their sunny clime to
the reputation for law and order which
the mischievous Ku-klux have so sadly
damaged, and so assure those who come
among them to settle that, they and
their property shall bo protected by
every means within their power, and
th.t their rights; politicle, personal and
industrial; shall be guaranteed to the
fullest extent.
Georgia has taken a step in the right
direction in regard to developing her
resources. The “Committee on direct
Trade and Immigration” have held a
meeting in Macon and resolved to ask
the Legislature to pass bills establishing
a Bureau of Immigration, preparing
maps showing the agricultural, mineral
and commercial resources of Georgia, to
be translated into several European
languages, and granting a subsidy of
one hundred thousand dollars per annum
to any steamship company that will
make a satisfactory contract with the
State to establish a line of steamships
between some European port and Sa
vannah. It wounld be much better if
the matter of a steamship line were left
to private enterprise, for these subsidies
whether State or National, are likely to
lead to abuse and eventuate in a failure
to attain the object which it is aimed
to secure.' But if Georgia is determin
ed to try the experiment, let her go on,
and may those she has dealings with
treat her in good faith, and not, after
squeezing her treasury to the last dime,
drop the undertaking as unfeasible and
impracticable.

Ami 'lnc I nto:.kim(m.k. A contra*
ver.-y has arisen of a peculiar kind in
the United Presbyterian Church in
Edinburgh. A member of that church
declined to partake of the Sacrament
because ordinary intoxicating wine was
used. This sort of scruple is sure to
nrisf where tcetotali-ni flourishes, and
it is of such a harmless kind that one
should think it would bo treated with
some indulgence. Unfortunately, tol
eration is a virtue little understood in
Oalvinistio Scotland, and tho Kirk
Session passed the following resolution.
“Whereas, Mr. John Macadam has
been guilty of an unseemly offensive
and uchismatical act at tho Communion
Table in refusing to partake of tho el
ements of Communion, and notwithstan
ding prolonged dealings with him he
still refuses to act in conformity with
his brethren, the Session hereby suspend
from office of the Eldership and from
full communion with tho members of
tho church.” This is a gem in its way.
Instead of leaving its member to take
his water and sugar, or scriptural wine
I (whatever that may be) from his own
flask, the Session subject him to ex
comnnication, as if he had been guilty
of some horrible crime. If the head
of the church do not deal with this
ease in a more sensible way, wc shall
I soon have to announce anew sect ot
Presbyterians, “The Scriptural Sup
porters of Unfermented Wine.

! A i’HOTKCTiNG akm should be thrown j
I around the Atlanta girls. Of three of;
these unfortunate creatures, who haven’t
any brothers, the “Awful Squid” of one
of the Atlanta papers is permitted to
write: “It is _uo idle compliment to
say that they arc like three Graces,
their faces mirrowing back the purity
and softness of tho skies, their eyes
floating in a light ot dewy tenderness,
or throwing radiant flashes from the
inner shrines of thought like jewel
tinted sparkles caught from broken \
rainbows.
The midnight train from Albany"left
a load of passengers at one of our Wes
tern towns. Among the number was a
nervous, fidgety old man, who was in a
great stew about his baggage. His
foot had hardly touched tho platform
when he commenced dogging the bag
gage master for his baggage. Finally,
after being repeatedly dunned for the
baggage before he had time to get it
from the bottom of the huge pile, the
baggage master turned to the man,
and thus addressed him: “Mister, it’s
a pi y you wasn’t born an elephant in
stead of a jackass, then ye’d have yer
trunk always under yer nose !”
Beautiful incident (related by the
Baltimore American): “A lady resid
ing in the eastern section of the city
some months since, purchased at auc
tion, an old daub of painting, which
no one would bid for, paying only fif
teen cents for it. The picture was
carried to the residence of the lady,
where it has, until within the past few
days, hung in the nursery for the
amusement of the children. By K one
means or other, a few days ago the back
of the picture was taken out, and be
tween it and the picture was found a
bank-book of one of the principal banks,
noting the deposits to the amount of
$1,500, subject to the order of the de
positor, and SIOO iu bank notes. The
lady at once proceeded to ascertain the
actual heir to tho treasure, and finally
suceeded, and on handing it to him he
generously presented her with SIOO as a
Christmas gift.”
j A private letter from a “very intel
; ligent source” to the Springfield Re
publican contains these mysterious hints:
“If I only dared to tell you what I
know of the lying and twisting mem
| hers whose names were on the McComb
| Credit Mobilier list you would bo star
j tied. As for Dawes, he told Ames to
| tell the whole story about him, but
! others whom you know are trying to
; lie or skulk out of all connection with
the affair. Boutwell knew all about it,
though I believe it is true that be nev
er took any stock, but lie did not per
emptorily decline it. Well, I don't
| see how we arc going to obtain all the
facts.”
An actress in Memphis, Tcnn., has
sued for a divorce on account of the
jealous and disagreeable nature of her j
husband, who, also a member of the I
same theatrical company, thought his
wife too “realistic” when playing lover’s
parts, and hence his jealousy.

Some time since a young minister in
tho West End wished to impress his
Sabbath-school with the dignity of life
by reference to the fact that men had
souls while ordinary animals have none.
Striking an attitude, he asked, “now
children, what is the greatest difference
between a monkey and a boy ?” “The
tail, the tail, the tail,” came from all
parts of the house, and the minister
was satisfied.
The London Timex is a late number
calls upon the writers, thankers, and
reformers of England to do something
to stem the t’de of d:uokenness which
is overwhelming the kingdom and un
derminding all ranks of society. It
states that this vice prevails to a fear
ful extend among rich and poor, men
aud women, young and old, and that it
is frightfully on the increase.
