body of the second person confessed to have been
murdered has not yet been found.

The Carolina Spartan. [volume] (Spartanburg, S.C.) 1852-1896, 1857-11-12
The Origin of the Bank of England,

So late as the time of the Restoration
every merchant kept strong box in his
own mouse; and when an acceptance was
presented TO him, told down the Crowns
and Caroluses on his own counter. Gen.
tlemen locked up their gold in their country
houses, or travelled with ii in their coaches.
These were the haIcyon DAYS Of thieves.
when a burglar would often be able, after \
single nights work, 10 retire with a fortune;
and highway robbery was lucrative pro
iess'on. whose adopts were styled Gentle
men of the Road"
By the end Of Charles 1Is reign it was
discovered that it was both safer and more
convenient 10 have agents to keep the cash
OF commercial houses. This new branch Of
business fell naturally into the hands of the
goldsmIths, who were accustomed TO traffic
largely IN the precious metals, and who had
vaults where masses of bullion could lie Sc.
cure from fire and robbers. 1t was at the
shops of the eoldsmiths of Lombard street
that all the payments in coin were made
Other traders gave and received nothing
but paper.
OF course the goldsmilhs, from being
the treasurers, soon become the masters Of
the city. Goldsmlhs were the money.
lenders. Goldsmihs furnished the funds
for all new enterprises. a goldsmith's note
passed current on Change for cash. The
nobility had to court the favor Of the cold.
smiths, and Royalty itself when n Govern.
ment loan was needed, privately summoned
some of the wealthy goldsmiths to its audi.
ence chamber.
Ihe same reasons that led the communi-
ty TO gather their cash into fifty vaults, in.
stead OF leaving 1t scattered among q thou.
sand, soon led them TO see that it would he
stlI better to keep it in one, instead of frtv
In William The Thirds time the matter was
freely discussed, and in 1904 i. took the
definite shape Of plan for Nation
Bank.
vi course so great change was not ef.
lected without bitter opposition A large
class denounced the "Bank Of Enplanjn
with much violence and vindictiyeness.
Tones declared that Banks were republican
institutions, and predicted the ruin Of the
monarchy. Wings declared it would be an
instrument of Royal tyranny worse than
'he star Chamber, and predicted the ruin
oi English liberalty. The nobility suspect
ca II 10 be ascheme TO elevate traders above
the Peerage, and the poor were made TO
beNeve II new device to grind them TO
The dust. Nevertheless, the Bank was es.
'aOIshed, and gained popular favo less by
arguments than 10y its manifest convenience
and utility. 1t lived and grew and pros.
Pered, and for hundred and fifty years
tho wealth Of England has lived and grown

deliver monthly public lectures, on some
subject in his own department, and the
same privilege should be extended to tn.
private teachers.
o. "A standard Of qualification for admis.
sion into the college should unquestionably
be established, and tho age of seventeen
fixed for the time OF admission. The object
OF the institution is to elevate the standa,d
OF scholarship. To effect this, students
should have ample preparation before gain.
ing admittance into it. Had we the State
academies above alluded TO, graduation in
them would be sufficient passport for ad.
mission into the college; but in the absence
oi 'hese, an examination test is the only way
to admit.
To fill out the minutie of this plan, of
which the above is mere outline, will 70
quire labor aud reflection, but no great Oh
Ject can be achieved without these; and
they who are in earnest in making some
radical improvements upon our present. col.
lege discipline and instruction, with the
view OF re Instating The college in public
favor, and OF making it subserve the HIGH
ends OF such an institution, will not b.. de-.
tered by The degree of energy and wisdom
required TO effect these improvements. One
who, like yourself, has long manifested a
profound interest in the public education Of
our State, will, | know, come 10 the task
OF reform with resolution equal to the i'm.
portance OF the work involved. Every true
lover oi The Stale must earnestly desire to
see tho college placed once moro upou n
suro basis With the highest esteem, |
am, your oIedieut servant. xks
