Telegraph & Messenger. THURSDAY MOKNINU: DEO. -8, IS'L • Whrn Will iin* .School Money* he IlKtrihnlril." We get ■ lachrymose eight page circular from "J. K. Lewis,-State School Conimimiooer.'' in «htob he sake lUa qooetfon, and i* qnite ana- 1,1« |o answer it. We can only tell what ought to bt done, bat this, of eoaiae, Is not so satisfac tory to letchera as the ready caah. Ur. Lewie says the State bonds which wore to snfastitats the school moneys wrenched out of the Slate Treasury by the last radieal Legislators and con- sumsd in tbs mileage and per diem of an in terminable session, ought to be deposited in the Treasury and sold. Bat then be is informed by tbs Governor that the act to protect the State from illegal and fraudulent L able to sail th >in fort. It Is Oder* It ’ il ht tod th Ihrly ears millions, it her bonds w Instead of going tor twenty r ,'- Jt boo been the salvation of t raeoala could not sell a Uoiiui ... any prise at all, otherwise th y thirty or forty millions. Mr. Lewis farther suggests that might some out of the rente cl the Atlantic Railroad, but nnforli uale decided that the debts moat frit t there are any “net earnings, am ties of Blodgett oome to light week ago $.19,000 more tnr Roger's Locomotive Works the ehanees are that the bolt fraud will not be reached in i And, lastly, Lewis sees a w meat in the lata set to sect funds to adneabonal pnrpos same. Manifestly, he bat n Democratic Legislature, and of thuir injustice to teachers, who bare labored so hard with anoh slim chanoe of compensation. And he takes occasion to aay that the changes In the school system, contemplated in the bill lately passed by tbs House, will oost the State •100,000 a year mote “for tmpereition" than the existing law. Well, we will venture to re mark, that any supervision by tbs State which costa the one-half of that sum, will cost more than it oomes to. Now, what Is the stele cf the case about the school moneys 7 First, the accumulations of funds from old taxes sacredly devoted by the Constitution to the purposes of education alone, were bodily stolen from the treasury by a scan dalous Legislature, so-called, and appropriated to tbumselveu for mileage and per diem. True, they authorised bobfle of tbs State placed in lien of tbs mosey, bat that did not help the matter. The money belongod to the teachers and the bonds could not be sold or nsod to pay the teachers, and these so-called legislators had no more right to tako it than they bad to throw it into the tiro. Next, the School Fuad was entitled to one- half the net earnings from the State Road, which abould have been, under honest management, little abort of oue hundred end eighty thousand dollars a year. But all this and many hundred thousands more were sacrificed to enormous frauds by the Radios! managers of the road. Third and last, the State Constitution de mands, as an indispensable condition precedent to suffrage, that one dollar poll tax ahalt be paid by every voter, and this tax goes to tbe Educa tional Fund. Here are about •200,000 a year whieh ought to have been oolleoted slnco 1808— making aay •800,000, but which have not been collected limply because, in defisnoe of the Con stitution, that tax has heretofore been yearly iu»l>ended by Kreeutire order, because it was feared that a good many of the negroes bad rather lose their vote than their dollar, Uiongh their dollar ihould goto edaoate their children. With all these amounts In hand, and which would have been in hand, but for tbe gross mal versation of the Radios! parly in this State, there would have been enough and more than enongb to have paid every teacher, and Mr. Lewis know* It, j uataa well as we do. His apol ogies, excuses and attempts to throw the blsme on the Domoeratio Legislature do great violent* to his own candor and common sense. THE GEORGIA 1* it ESS. . “4 Genuine Backer.'

Whom fo Illume. Tbe Repnbllean party in the South is de moralized, end no organisation of any oonse- qoenos exists in either of tbe States from Vir ginia to Texas. Wholesale corruption has done ita perfect work, andtheoorrnptiunof the sham Democracy has been too well imitated by the fellows who fraudulently fastened themselves upon our party in tbe reconstructed Htatos. We blame not the ignorant freed man or the sim ple-minded mountaineer who accepted the lea dership of fetlowa who went South to speculate in votes, even aa th6y did at home in wooden nutmegs or gift jewelry. They found trust ing victims, and as the custom of the breed, “ to trust was to betray." The pollltoal squatters who have damned Re publicanism in the South have been fitly portrayed aa creatures whose “highest idea of statesmanship was to steal, and whose only idea of polloy was to lie.” They have lied to tho poor ooontry people of the South, and made them belisve that the extremists were right when they declared a northern man and a robber were one and the same. These earns men have initialed the colored citizen into the villainy of polities end we are having a plenti ful harvest of crime all over the Souiu. Rings are formed in every Legislature, and represen tatives art bought right and left. One day they impeach Stale officers, the next day nndo their work, and ignorant bra tee, miaacalled leg. ialatora, proudly brag thsy have a price. AU thia we see in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. In the Southwest it is no better. The above article is oopied from the Washing ton Republican, of Monday. Tbe Jtepnblioan is a thick and thin Grant organ, and la supposed to sometimes apeak, in a aorff of semi official way, for the present administration. These foots give eignifioanoe to its ntteranoes concern log the administration party in the Booth. Ac cording the Republican there ia now no Rad ical organisation of oonacqnonoe from Virginia to Texas, and the Radical leaden of the South, themselves, ere creatures whose “highest Idea of statesmanship is to steal, and whose sole idea of policy is to lie." They are declared to hare spaenlated in voles down here, aa they did in wooden nutmegs and gilt jewelry at home. Their allies, the negroes, are stigmatized aa "ignorant brutes, miscalled legislators, who loudly brag they have a price." AU of which is healthy reading enongb, considering ita source. True, the ooontry has been told aU these facts before, bnt aa the telling was done by Demo cratic speakers and writers, the Bepnblioan and Ita Uke denonneed them aa disloyal lies, treason, rebellion, ate., and united to whitewash, alter the moat approved toil fashion, these thieves, and Ban, and “ignorant brutes." Now where ean be found a more terrible in dictment against the Radical party and the Grant administration than is famished by the Republican. It admits that the Radical party ia responsible for all these iniquities—admits that it has bean guilty of all these crimes •gain* law, joatioa, sound morals, decency, and ia fact against every thing that it right or rrspectable—admits that it has entrusted the Uvea, and fortunes, and peace of eight millions of people to tho ooolrol of white creatures whoea only principles were to steel and lie, and “ ignorant brutee *' of negroes who boasted thsy bad a prtoe—it admits all these things, and 7* clamors for the oontinoanoe in power of the T#ry organization odUniniftrotioxi th** n>ade thia infamous record!
