of Laving walked 12000 miles sineo the

of the mathematicians of the Le Vert 1
College to toll us how Tnuch farther

him a wife The truth is tho Colonel
wants a wife to keep his shoos tied*
that is if ho wears the same pair that
we saw him have on at his orange
grove on Bunn’s Lake.
Incase of the State SComl.
We copy from the Constitution , in
another column, a correspondence be
tween Air. 1). P. Cox, member elect to
the Legislature from Btuke county,
and ex-Governor Brown, Pros’t of the
Western & Atlantic R. It. Cos. Wo
had indulged tho hope that this uiis
cliief-makiug pioco of tho State’s prop
erty had been settled and taken out of
tho hands of politicians, but not so. —
There is much dissatisfaction, and al
ways will be so long as tho State holds
the property.
. We are not prepared to say that tho
leaso was or was not fairly and legally
given to the present company, but we
unhesitatingly say that it is now do
ing better, payuig into tho State more
money than it has done sinco the sur
render. Think of Blodgett having
tho impudence to ask for a heayy ap
propriation to keep up the Road, and
then look to the prompt payment of
twenty-five thousand dollars monthly
by tho present management, and wo
have tho difference botwoon what tho
Road was in tho hands of tho party in
power and now.
If the leaso should be declared ille
gal, w'o are in favor of tho State soil
ing tho road at a loss of ono-half its
value, rathor than have it in the hands
of any party, be it Republican or
Democratic.
We suppose Mr. Cox is satisfied for
tho present, at least ho won’t write to
President Brown again on tho subject.
110 starts out with an abundant sup
ply of lovo of country, moro we fear
than lie will .successfully carry to the
end of his political journey.
For President.
Wo hold that a yoar henco is time
enough to writo and talk about candi
dates for tho next President, and that
our peoplo should let all their energies
bo brought to bear to remove tho li
nancial troubles that engulf our
country. Still, wo wish to say that
tho party should not allow
tho New York Herald to dictato to
them as to who shall bo tho Demo
cratic candidate for tho next Presi
dent. The choice of tho llvrald will
not Le endorsed by Georgians, nor by
any other peoplo of tho South. Thore
aro too many seutiuels standing
throughout our land to show the march
of this heartless man, to auth'orizo us
to believe that even the moderate wing
of the Republican party, South, would
oudore and acquiesce in his nomina
tion for their party. Much less would
Democrats take him up, though ho
dilfer with Grant on some important
points. Wo would ask by what au
thority tho Herald presumes to make
suggestions to Democrats. So© what
ho says:
“Is General Sherman up for the
Presidency ?—IIo is certainly out a
gainst General Grant on the Ku-klux
question, and on the St. Domingo
question, and if the Democrats are
possessed of common sense they will
understaffd that this means business.”
“The Democratic canidato for tho
Presidency who could sueeesfully con
test the office against any issues which
tho Radicals may bring forward is
General W. T Sherman;”
If tho next Presidential compaign
must ho fought on the war questions
the only man wbo can lead the Dem
ocracy to victory is Goncal William T.
Sherman.”
“Rc'aliou of (lie Stale to Ed>
ucativu.
i It has for some time past beon un
derstood that this distinguished gen
tleman intended to urge that it is not
tlie duty of tho state to educate the
children of the people, and lively dis
cussion wa3 anticipated. Dr. Tucker
was not present, (cause unknown to
your correspondent). But as the sub
ject was uppermost in every one’s mind
tho three gentlemen above mentioned
addressed tho meeting taking ground
that it’s tho duty of tho State to educate.
The Rev. Dr. Landrum was the first
speaker. lie began by announcing
the truism that knowledge is power,
and deduced the conclusion that ignor
anco is weakness. If the despotic
States of Europe compel education to
increase the strength, as in tho case of
prusia, Republics must educate for the
same reason. In Europe the political
theory is that the man is to be "moul
ded in tho interest of tho Govern
ment- In this country government is
created in tho interest of the people.
Should the people consent to be
educated through the machin
ery of the State Government
no man will deny that that Govern
ment, which is of their own creation
may rightfully thus become iustrumont
of usefulness.
It is urgod by some that as religion
cannot rightfully be propagu'tod by tho
Stato, tho State should not meddle
with education. Tho two subjects are
not parallel. God has given his writ
ton word, and called minis teres to
teach religion. Mon differ as to what
constitutes religious duty. Mon can
not differ as to tho elements of intel
lectual training on conscientious
grounds. All will agroo in regard to
those. As to the moans of securing
education, he said these must bo furn
ished either by voluntary contribution
in tho form of payment for privato tu
ition, or through taxation to support
public schools.
Ho announced that, in tho words of
Macauly “tho right to hang implies
the right to educate.” If society has
tho right to punish crimes it has tho
right to use means to pre vont crime.
Tho Stato interfere in eases when pa
rents aro cruel to children. It has an
equal right to intorfer in casos in which
parents refuse to liavo their children
educated.
If it interposes to prevent justice to
children it has a right to prevent thoir
growing up in ignorance.
Intelligent labor is much needed;
the State has a right to develop the
resorcos of all tho minds of tbs people.
Tho wealth of brains of tho people
may boa 9 rightfully developed by
Stato aid as her material woalth.
It is not only tho right but tho duty
of the State to develop tho intellectual
wealth of tho people. A general sys
tem of public schools is the best means
by which sucli development can be
secured.
ITo met the hackneyed obligation of
children in different conditions in life
in the public schools by tho statement
of pertinent facts.
lie touched upon tho economy of
tho public s chool system as compared
with that of private tuition, and urgod
the duty of heartily supporting the
present school law of Georgia, and
putting into operation the public
schools throughout tho State, dofoctivo
and objectionable as is tho law in some
minor particulars. Experience and
timo will point thorn out, and object
ionable features can bo easily rem
edied. Liko a treo, any system, when
started, neods careful culture and
pruning. Tho spoakor was repeatod
ly applauded throughout his address.
Col. Hodgson, after a few prelimi
nary remarks, read an el aborately pro
pared argument of which the follow
ing is a synopsis : When it is remem
bered that Col. Hodgson, who is a na
tive of tho South and served in tho
field four years, and was chosen by
tho Democratic party, of Alabama, to
fill the position of Stato Superinten
dant of Public Education, his remarks
are well worthy of consideration by
tho public of our State, and have much
significance.
He started out by saying that wo
of the South, whoso livos were
hitliorto soreue are much tho creatures
of habit and routine, and havo tiamod
to regard the disturbed of established
things as little less than a seditionist
who would criminally disturb the peacw.
We unhesitatingly admit tlicright of
the government to demand the life of
the citizen in the battle, while wo
hesitato as to tho right of tho State to
demand the proporty of tho citizen in
aid of tho community.
A man who is enthusiastic in advo
cating tho building of a railroad, ofton
pauses abruptly at tho idea of taxation
to build a school-house in aid of tho
moral wealth of the community.
He gavo an elaborate logal argu
ment, supported by the highest author
ities, in proof of tho power of the State
to aid public education, followed by
another equally forciblo as to tho duty
of tho Stato iu tho promises. He said
tho manual labor class comprised sev
en-oights of tho population, tho re
maining one-eighth living by their wits
and becoming rich upon tho aggrega
tion of tho small surplus of production
thrown off by tho manual laborors
Tho over labor of tho working man is
barely sufficient, and too ofton insuffi
cient to provide for food, clothing, lod
ging and fuel for his family. This is
true when he is industrious and tem
perate, hut is greatly worse when ho is
addicted to drink or any other expen
sive selfish indulgence. Is it possible
for tho manual labor class to securo an
education for their children ovor and
above tho maintenance of themsolves
and families?
Thu one-eighth of our Southern pop
ulation that live by their wits aro prin
cipally gathered in towns. The sev
en-eighths are chiefly in the rural dis
tricts. The means necessary for the
efficient education of their children is
beyond their reach. In the cities in
Alabama, where the cost of private tu
ition ranges from five to ten dollars per
month, very few laboring men can af
ford such a tax. The consequence is,
their children would be untaught un
less the State steps in to their rescue.
It is said that the one-oiglith who
live by their wits ought not to bo tax
ed to educate the children of tho sev
en-eights who have no more property
than is exempt from taxation. Thitfis
specious, but not substantial. For the
manual laborers produce tho wealth of
the State and indirectly pay every dol
lar of the t ties. They make tha wealth
upon which the man of wit, who ha«
it in his possession, pays tho taxes.
They consume the articles upon which
the merchant and manufacturer have
paid the taxes, and which the manual
laborer repays in the heightened price
of tho commodity.
What do manual laborers receive in
return for the revenue they pour into
the State treasury, and for the lives
they lay down in battle at the call of
the State ? It is sSid that they receive
protection! But they are numerous
enough to protect themselves, and have
but little property to protect. It is the
rich one-eighth who need protection.
What more blessod return can the
State give propertyless seven-eighths
for their labors in peace, and their
blood in war, than education for their
children ?
The cost of the Public Schools in Al
abama under the present system will
bo about six hundred thousand dollars
per annum. Ono-fourth of one perjoent,
is assessed to support tho publio
schools. A person worth 810,000 will
pay 825 school tax. This will bo tho
whole cost to him of educating all his
children. For tho rich man this is no
tax, becauso instead of spending hun
dreds of dollars for privato tuition ho
•nly pays on this sum ; and|is fair to as
sume that SIO,OOO is about the aver
age wealth of our rich men. Tho
masses of poor men appoar on the tax
hooks to pay no tax at all.
All aro benefited and nono aro loo
sers by taxation for the support of
schools. In Montgomery tho average
cost of privato tuition is seven dollars
and a half per month per pupil. Two
hundred at this rate cost $13,500, 2,-
G 69 pupils at this rato would cost $20,-
000 per month, which SIBO,OOO por
session of nine months. But in Mont
gomery 19G white children aro being
taught at a cost of $1 12 por month, in
Selma 430 cost $3 11 per month, in Mo
bile 1,407 at $2 13 por month, in Col
umbus, Goorgia, 635 at slls per
month. In these cities tho 2,G69 pu
pils aro being taught at an averago
cost $1 88 per month per pupil, mak
ing an aggregate of $5,000 per month,
or $45,000 per session of nino months,
showing a difference iu favor of the
public school system over tho private
school system in tho education of 2,-
GG9 pupils of $145,000 in a singlo ses
sion of nino months. To educate all
these children at the cost $7 50 each
l>»r month a tax of one-fourth of ono
per cent, would require a basis of $72,-
000,000 to raiso SIBO,OOO of revenue.
To educate them in the public
schools tho same rate of taxation would
requiro a basis of only $18,003,000
worth of property, a difference of basis
amounting to $54 000,000. Tho dif
ference in cost of tuition per pupil per
month is $5 G 2, equal to fifty dollars
per session.
In the year 1858 when tho Stato aid
to schools was very partial, the cost to
Alabama of 42,724 pupils for six
months was $464,210,02 at tho rato of
$2 20 por child per month. Now it is
reduced to $1 08 por scholar per month,
or $280,000 in tho aggregate of the
above number of pupils per annum.
The people of Alabama in the educa
tion of 100,000 children will save half
a mi llion of dollars by establishing aud
supporting her State schools under the
present system.
The speaker touched upon the im
portance of normal instruction for
teachers. He called attention to tho
fact that in Prussia the children of the
aristocracy go to the sarno schools as do
those of tho morchant mochanic and
laborer. Ho profors tho public to tho
private schools.
110 advocated the education of tho
colored race, because it cannot educate
itself and should not be oducatod by
strangers. Without some education
they will run not with society and gov
ernment and fill our pauper houses and
prisons. Tho demand for their educa
tion is imperious aud overwhelming!

Arrest of Counterfeiters in
Florida.
The Jacksonville Union says: Oliver
P. Saxton, who was arrested, as sta
ted in our last issue, by U. S. Deputy
Marshal Mooney, at St. Mary’s, was
brought to this city on tho steamer
Nick King, last Wednesday afternoon
the 3d inst, and taken before United
States Commissioner C. L. Robinson,
Thursday morning. In default of
$15,000 bail Saxton was committed to
Nassau county jail. Deputy Marshal
Grotlie proceeded to Lake City, last
Wodnosday, to look after some other
parties implicated with the gang, but
they had rocoived warning and made
their escape. He, however succeeded
in obtaining about four hundred dol
lars of the bogus gold five dollar pie
ces, which the counterfeiters had suc
ceeded in passing at City- The
following extract from a report made
by General Kzryzanowski to tho Treas
ury Department shows how the case
was worked up:
Upon my arrival hero, on April 28
I rocoived information from a roliablo
source that one R. Noblo and 0. M.
Saxton have been making counterfeit
United States coin, at Lake City,
That the parties had removed their
machinery to Fornandina, but that a
man near Lake City had some of this
counterfeit coin. Having full confi
dence in the statement I concluded to
act even if it was out of my lino of du
ty, knowing that the interest of tho
government justified mein so doing
and I instructed Dotective Beach to go
to Lake City and work up the case.
Ho left on tho 30th of April, and on
the first of May ho went to the house
of tho man, after the counterfeit coin
which he found. On his return to
Lake City he met Louis Delomo, Uni
ted States detective, who told him he
was there to work the case up: Boach
having purchased somo of the counter
feit coin, ffioy had the key to the job.
They then decided to work togother,
and they traced Noble, Saxton and
one Bwett to Femandina, and from the
railroad books they convinced thom
selves that tho machinery was shipped
there. Delomo went to Fornandina
to watch the parties and Boach came
to Jacksonville to watch the suspected
party. The counterfeiters precipitated
mattors|by chartering steam’r for Black
Point, Georgia, and loading the ma
chinery. Delomo requested Deputy
U 8. Marshal Hazan to assist him
and they made tho arrest and captured
the machinery. Saxton was arrested
by Deputy U. S. Marshall Mooney. ,
Saxton engraved tho dies, Noble as
sisted in the manufacture, and Swett
was a shover.’ At Lake City they
had a shop, ostensibly for jewelry and
dintistry business. The counterfeiters
have been examined before U. S.
Commissioner Robinson, and have in
default of bail, been committed to jail.
The detectives loavo in tho morning
and I expoct Further development."
The man Noble is well known to
the most of our readore as a dentist.

—Dear Sir : I have the honor to ac

enclosing me a freo ticket over the
Western and Atlantic Railroad.
Tho sending of those presents, just
at this juncture of affairs, to members
of tho Legislature, I can but regard
as a direct reflection upon their intel
ligence and integrity. Were Ito ac
cept tho ticket, I should feel that I was
a“ debauched, legislator." Henco I
promptly return the same to you, with
the request that you send me no moro
such favors. Respectfully,
D. P. Cox.

Hon, I). P. Cox , Wayensbore, J Ov..-
Sir ; I have to acknowledge the receipt
of your letter of the 29 ult., and in re
ply state, that j had no idea you could
be so oasily debauched. I suppose, jud
ging from your position as a represen
tative elect of the people, you had tho
“intelligence” to comprehend the mo
tives that prompted my action ; and
that you. sot a much higher estimate
upon yourself, than to suppose for a
moment that any one would think of
corrupting your “integrity” with so
very small a consideration.
Muck has been said by dosigniug
men about fraud or unfairness in tho
lease of the Western and Atlantic
Railroad. Tho Company have invited
fair and full investigation. And as
their representative, I thought it was
proper that I afford the representa
tives of the people every facility in my
power, to see the condition in which
i the lessoos are putting the road, and
our manner of transacting business
with the peoplo. I, therefore, deter
mined to send free tickets to the Sen
ators and Representatives elect, to bo
used at their ploasure for that purpose,
but I certainly never imagined that
any ono with character enough to be
elocted *& Representative of tho people,
could be influenced or bribed by such
an invitation. .
I have made no ‘discrimination be
tween those supposed to be perfectly
impartial botween tho State and tho
lessees, as the great body ftf tho Sena
tors and Representatives are, and
yourself, though rumor had already
sot you down as one who had prejudg
ed tho case against us without a hear
ing. While I had little reason to
doubt that you were coming up to vote
against us on every issue, I was willing
that you havo a fair opportunity with
the ethers to pass over the road to got
up points, if you could find any, to use
against us at your pleasure. With
the fixod determination which I am
satisfied you entertain, to fight tno
leaso, right or wrong, in which your
future course will doubtless show I am
not mistaken, you may feel that it
would boa little embarrassing for you
to accept our invitation to pass ovor tho
road and look into its condition.
In tho warfare which the peoplo of
the Stato will hereafter see you are
making on the leaso, I will afford you
all necessary facilities for looking into
tho condition of tho road, and shall re
gret to discriminate against 70U ; but,
as it is your desiro, the company will
•barge you full faro'.when you pas« over
the road on that business, that all may
see and know that you hare certainly
net boon ‘'debauched,"
I have sent tickets to a large pro
portion of the Senators and Represen
tatives, and at least nine-tenths of
those who have rceived thorn, who
are doubtless as honest and pure as
yourself, havo taken a more rational,
enlarged and just view of the matter,
and havo accepted the invitation with
out imagining for a moment that any
reflection was intended upon thoir
“intelligence or their integrity.” Con
scious of the rectitude of thoir own mo
tives, and knowing that they were not
purchasable , they have not misconstrued
my conduct, nor attempted, by misrep
resenting it, to produce a falso impres
sion. • ..
I do not know the post-offices of
some of the members elected to the
Legislature, and I have not therefore
sont tickets to all. Some I have sent
may havo been miscarried. Tho great
mass of those to whom they wore sent
have accepted them in the proper spir
it, and€ trust they will use them when
ever they wish to see for themselves
how we are managing tho road. If
any who havo been omitted, and icho
fed themselves above suspicion, will inform
me of their post-office, I will cheer
fully extond to thorn the same courte
sy.
We feel that we are complying with
our contract in good faith. We pay
the monthly rental promptly, and we
are greatly the condition of the road
and its rolling stock, at an exponse be-
yond its monthly income, of a heavy
debt to the company. And we havo
no motive to conceal what we are do
ing. Wo feel it our duty, whatever
it may cost, to put the road in condi
tion to accommodate tho publio promp
tly, and look to the future for a rea
sonable compensation for our risk and
expenditures. Respectfully, etc,
Joseth E. Brown.
