An Important Matter for
tlie Consideration of our
State Legislature.
Certainly no question of greater
importance now presents itself for
the consiileration of our State Legis
lature than that pertaining to the
educational interest of Georgia. In
deed thist subject furnishes a fine
field for the exorcise of true stales*
manship, and as our General Assems
lily is now largely composed of the
rising young men of the State, it is
gieatly to ho hoped tliat a wiser and
more progressive era will soon mark
the edu-Mlional intere t of onr com
monwealth. Our State School Com
missioner has laid 1 afore the Legis
lature his annual report for tlie press
cut year, which shows that the com-
• mon school system is doing much
good in our State, and only needs
the fostering care of legislative an
thority, and such judicious improve
ments as from time to time may sug
gest themselves in order to fully sup
ply tlie want in tiiis particular chan
nel of education. We note with
much gratification the attention
which this all important subject is
now receiving at tlie hands of the
present Legislature, several impor
tant bills pertaining thereto, having
been introduced. Prominent among
these is a bill introduced by Mr.
Fort, of Sumter, at the instance of
the Alumni Society of the State Uni
versity and of which he is an honored
member, providing for an appropria
tion of half of the rental of the Wes
tern ami Atlantic Railroad for the
year 1879, in order that the State
University, (Franklin College) as the
State College of Agriculture, may
offer free tuition to all, and further
more for the establishment of inter
mediate or classical schools through
out the State. No argument need
here he offered to prove the great
i^jtorlattce and necessity ot the first
provision of this bill. The time has
arrived when all fully agree and
admit, that education as provided by
the respective States, in order to be
just and successful must be established
upon a system of free tuition.
As to the second provision of the
bill, which looks to the establishment
of intermediate or classical schools
throughout the State, we would say
that this is undoubtedly a step in the
right direction. The experience of
the very best educators in onr midst,
has demonstrated fully that in onr
present educational systems there is
too great a gap between the present
common, or preparatory schools of
the country and the Universities.
The new Constitution provides as fol
lows : Art. VIII, Sect. I, Par J.
“There shall be a thorough system
of common schools for the education
of children in t he eleiiu Mary branches
of nit English education only, as
nearly m.ifori:< as practicable, the ex
pense-' of which shall l.e provided fo*
by taxation, or otherwise ”
Thus it will be seen that under a
system of m it >ols ntoviding only for
a preparation in the Engli-h branches
or as it has'been termed a system es
tablished upon the teaching of the three
IPs, there cannot under said system
be sufficient preparation of students
or scholars for entrance upon the
College courses. This evil or defect
in our school system as at present
provided, must necessarily greatly
embarrass onr University systems.
The Stale University and the other
colleges throughout tlie State, cannot
under the present arrangemrnts
maintain themselves with that high
standard of scholarship which should
characterize all such institutions.
These institutions must either reject
the unprepared applicants who come
up front our present common schools,
thus in a largo degree crippling their
existence, or import une through the
Legislature, or otherwise, the nccesv
sary intermediate, classical or regu
lar preparatory schools throughout
tlie Stale. The establishment of such
schools is the great need at this lime
in order to make our educational .-v.—
lc.ii i cgtd.il' and complete and we
greatly trust the legislature now in
session will address
The President’s Message.
In accordance with the law. Con
gress met on the lint Monday of the
present - month, and in accordance
with law and usage, the President
presented that bodyjpith tlie usual
annual mes-sage.
In the olucn time, this was a pe
riod looked forward fo with much
interest on the part of the American
people, and the annual message of
the Chief Executive of the country
was almost always a document of
such ability and statesmanlike impor-
tance as not only to interest and in
struct the people, but, in a large de
gree to give direction to, and shape
the policy of, our national legislation.
But not so with the late* message of
President Hayes. Tame, cnimpor
The Legislature will adjourn on
new Friday, to meet again in July,
1879.
The Afghan war i.- simply a sharp
piece of diplomacy on the part of the
British authorities.
A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature to establish a Branch of
the University of Georgia at Cuth-
bert.
All political indications at this
time look unquestionably to the pre
senting ot Gen. U. S. Grant by the
Radical party, for the Presidency in
1880.

THOU.
Radical and purely partisan papers of
the country, and in perfect keeping
with the spirit of his party, intimates,
if not distinctly states, that in some
of the Southern States interruption
has been given to the enjoyment of
the freedom of suffrage by tbe col
ored people, thus seeking to resur
rect and re-color the “ bloody shirt,’’
which many misguided and greatly
deceived people supposed had been
faded away as a political scaphism
by the so-called Southern policy of
the tie facto President.
The message opens with au ex
pression of the profonndest sympathy
on tbe part of the Chief Executive
with the recently pestilence-stricken
sections of tha South, he going so far
as to call the attention of Congress to
the importance of inaugurating such
sanitary measures as will tend to the
preservation of the health and com
merce of our Southern section.
This Is by no means strange or an
expected, since it is in perfect conso
nance with that New England pnri-
tanism of which Mr. Hayes is a fair
and average representative, and
which Jat last rest its Christian
charity and philanthropy upon a
strictly and purely selfish basis.
To conclude our comments upon
this, the weakest, the most unstates-
manlike, and the most unimportant
Presidential message which has ever
been presented for the ccnsidciation
of Congress and the country gener
ally since the foundation of our Gov
ernment, we would say, that its
chief, if not only object, seems to
have been to arouse the meanest and
bitterest partisanship, the worse
blood o( that party of which, his am
bition now makes him desirous of
I ecoming the leader.
This being au unmistakable pur-
pt >se of this most remarkable document
then let Congress with its Dcmm-ratio
majority, .and the National Demo
cratic party as well, steadily near in
mind tlie fact that the Republican
party will si ek to control the Presi-
leniia! election iu 1880 by relying
upon tbe power of bayonet rule in
the South, and the potency of “bloody
shirt ” arguments in the North, and
prepare both tlio Democracy and the
country for the issue.
try. Indeed would not this piove a
good field for iudependenlism.
But a few years since the Radical
party being in power and possession
of tlie general government disfran
chised a large proportion of the
white voters of the South. The gov
ernment of Liberia being in posses
sion of the colored inhabitants they
followed suit and now no white man
allowed the right of suffrage in
that African Republic.
Congress met on Monday, tbe 2nd
inst. The Democrats in Congress
have set themselves actively at work
to secure that legislation -which the
country now so much needs, while
the Radicals are devoting themselves
entirely and exclusively to such
measures as look to their parly suc
cess in tlie coining Presidential cam
paign. Coupling the Presidents mes
sage with the Radical start-off in
Congress, it is no difficult task to ar
rive at the conclusion that Radical
legislation simply means Radical
agrandizement or party success

that the people of that city are “wel
nigh asphyxiated with tlie fumes ot

The people of Athens can sympa

here is very impure. L'Kt Sunday

Statesmanship.
We notice that Senator Bud. Boyd,
of White county, has introduced a
bill providing for “ the distribution of
the land sorid fund, as appropriated
by act of Congrea July 2ud, 1862, to
this Stale.” Now this measure ia an
unmistakable evidence of a high
order of statesmanship in Senator
Bud Boyd, and if we can only escape
the Jcharge of being presumptious
we would like to ask Senator Bud
tribut on through some ] atent-right
guano distributor or docs lie design
scattering the fund hroad-ca-t through
out the common wea’th? We anxiously
await the result of this bo'd stroke of
statesmanship on the part of Senator
Bud Bi>yd,ot the 32nd district.

earnestly and effectively to this all
important w.irK The interest of
our commonweal'll demands it; the
people, in their increasing iuterest in
the education of their children de

progress and civilization.
Let not our General Assembly
look upon the appropriation of money
in behalf of this interest as merely an
appropi 'ation or giving away of
money on the part of the State. Such
provisions on the part of tho State
government are the wisest, best and
most remunerative investments, re

an hundred fold by way of interest
but a compound and constantly com
pounding interest of thousands and
