Passing Event. ms Ed.cator..

Passing Events ms Educators.
The stirring events of the past few
years have been wonderful educators OF
the people.
Before the war, as little was known Of
the South. by q majority of the people.
as of the interior Of Africa; but they soon
became acquainted with The geography Of
that uncivilizsd region, and knew the To-
cation Of many an obscure hamlet, log
meeting house. and small wstercourse
with such poetical name Is Bull Creek.
Cow River, or Coon Fork.
Before the war. half the people in the
country scarcely knew 10 which end Of
gun to put the load now the popula-
zion is to great extent drilled veterans /;
BAD men who eight years ago were OK
drivers, to-day write /" General" before
their names.
Men who. but short time ago. did
not know whether there wss any way to
prevent the South from seeding. and
then did not know how in-ths world she
could ever be brought back, now explain
the delicate points of Reconstruction Is
learnedly as il they had made it q life
study.
Persons who never owned over five
dollars at a time. and who never 10 their
lives paid enough taxes to meet the in.
terest on a 800 Government Bond for
single day. now glibly discuss the in
tricate sciences of finance, demonstrate
how the bond-holders are eating out the
lives of poor men. and point ont an easy
method to place the currency question on
safe basis.
But very recently. large proportion
Of the people did not know what i'm
peschment was. nor the offences which
were impeachsble. But now, every man
can explain the whole naodus opsrandi o.
It; can tell what points can be sustained
against the President, and what are m
constitutional; and knows precisely wbs'
the final result will be.
The only pity is. that with such vssl
increase of information. people do mol
increase in knowledge.

wss entered, and some FIVE or six hun.
dred dollars worth Of goods stolen. to-
gether with three or four dollars from the
drawer. The thief was captured and bis

day. He had gone that far in skiff. on
bis way down the river. probably to meet
his accomplices. He had an exsmina-
tion, and was sent to jail.
The thief was Young man. stranger.
who had been loa6ng about this place for
few dsya, and is supposed to have at
tempted burglary here, one night last
week. We hear it rumored that the rob-
berry was concocted at q certain den In
the Bottom. between here and Iowa Point,
and that the goods were to have been ta-
ken there and divided. 1t is also sup
posed that two WORTHLESS who have for Q
while past been honoring this town with
their presence. were sccomplices IN the
robbery. There are too many villsinous
looking bipeds loa6ng around. with no
visible means Of support: aud we think it
would be advantageous to the public II
more Of them were made invisible. by
wslling them in.

-Tbe Top.k. State Record says

@ The Top.ks State Record says
that the State Treasurer and Auditor
have issued circulars to the County Trea-
sursr.. saying that the State will not re-
ceive State scrip issned under the sppro-
priatiou bill Of 1867 or previous years.
until oil Of the old scrip has been redeem
ed. They s.y that there is law for this
sctiou. The result is. that scrip iasued
under former appropriation bills is worth
tan 10 fifteen per cent. more than the
scrip issued under tbe bill Of the last Le-
gislsturs.
We do not know whether the circular
spoken of above quotes the law referred
to or NOT, but we venture to say there is
no such law that would stand the test.
