1 S O U THERiT jlmijjmt farmer: n. n. oahlto asr, EDITOR AND FnorftllTOIt. Tuesday, December 10, 1878. 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. Aisnsro FOE TAX COLLECTOR. Wc are authorized t-announce F. It.

He was inaugura ted laBt week and the oath adminis- tant, unspggestive and nnstatesman- tered to him while in bed. like in its character, it fails to be more than a rehash of the official 1 reports of the different departments of the Government, only so far as to indicate in his reference to his South ern policy, wliat will unquestionably be the continued policy of the Re publican party relative to the control of the next Presidential j election.

In Liberia the whites am denied ,the yigi»t ,of »uffra<4p,; the N vqting being done exclusively by the color ed inhabitants. This would be a fine country for the gratification of the philanthropic sentiments ot some o fabricated and circulated by the '« u,e Republican leaders of this conn- s Greatest Show and 10 times the Grandest and Greatest on Earth.

For ftrnher infom 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 [Communicated.] Impure Gas The Lynchburg Virginian say that the people of that city are “wel nigh asphyxiated with tlie fumes ot impure gas,’’and that tin* gas compa ny acknowledges that it has failed to provide retorts enough to enable them to furnish purejjrat*.

It is to be hoped hat the Gas Company wili spare no pains or expense that may be necessary to enable them to fu uisli pine gas, and that they will net promptly the matter. • A SUFFBPER. 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. Pi S.—We hear llmt the -hill is the same mie llmt Senator Bud Boyd’s itself wisely, j fatlii r introduced into the late Con- 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 mand it; and the great cause of edu cation demands it, that through this great interest our State may be ad vanced to the highest standard of 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 turning iherefot not ten, twenty, or an hundred fold by way of interest but a compound and constantly com pounding interest of thousands and tens of thousands ot dollars to the -whole commonwealth.
