State Convention of Teachers.

The annexed circular is from Capt. HUGH S.
THOMPSON, principal of the Columbia Male
Academy and presents a subject Of especial in
terest to teachers and all others desirous pro-
noting the cause of education in our State.
We hope the Convention will be held, and that
it will be numerously attended:
After an informal consultation Of persons in-
terestcd in the cause of education the Under
signed has been requested to invite theteachcrs
Of the State, not connected with the Stree COM
mon schools" to meet in convention at Colum-
bia.
The immediate purpose of this convention is
to secure, as far as practicable, uniformity IN
text books, and other advantages arising from
concert Of action. 1t is also proposed to make
this meeting the basis of permanent organ
ization of the teachers of South Carolina.
Such associations have been formed in sever
al of the other States, and where properly con-
Quoted, the tendency has been to raise the stan
dard of education and increase the efficiency OF
schools.
The time suggested for the meeting is the
first week in May-the day to be determined
hereafter.
Those teachers who favor the proposed con-
vention, and who are willing to attend it, are
requested to communicate at onceby mail with
the undersigned; and if the assent be obtained
of such number as will indicate the proba-
bility of general representation, due notice OF
the time and place of meeting will be published
When it is decided to call the convention, an
effort will be made to secure at the hotels and
on the railroads such reduced charges as are
usually made to the members of similar bodies

ANOTHER BUTLER.-The notoriety of TIE
hero of New Orleans Fort Fisher, Dutch Gap
Canal, and numerous other localities, over
shadows all others bearing the name of BUTLER
in certain line of conduct But it seems that
the gentleman now known as Tennessee But
LER, and rendered notorious by connection with
cadetship frauds, has an unenviable record in
his particular sphere. His past history only
illustrates the theory so often advanced thatthe
bitterest and most unprncipled Radicals of to-
day, among Southern men, are those who were
most rampant when the star of the Confcderacy
was in the ascendant. Hence we are not sur
prised to learn the following facts, obtained
from the Washington correspondence of the
Cincinnati Times
r. r. Rutler was member of the rebel Leg
stature of Tennessee of 1862. He seconded
and supported the Jarnigan resolutions which
denounced with contempt and insolence the
proposition of Abraham Lincoln to send peace
commissioners to the South, which resolutions
termed Lincoln as "base us,rrper." When
the brothers Harmon, Fry and Haun, the East
Tennessee Unionists, burned the railroad
bridges, Butler introduced resolutions in the
Assembly to arm and equip provisional force
to hunt down these men, using the language that
they should be hunted down like wild beasts
and killed wherever found. The Harmons were
caught and hung after being imprisoned with
Brownlow. Butler subsequently recruited for
rebel regiment and wore the Confederate uni
form of Colonel. He denounced Lincoln as
corrupt tyrant repeatedly at Greenville, Ten
nessec, in presence of responsible gentlemen,
who are now living and will prove the same.
In 1866 he was struck from the roll of claim
agents at Washington upon charges of defraud-
ing his clients. Mullins bitterly opposed his
being admitted to q seat, and asserted and
proved all of the foregoing facts in debate.

President Grant and General Amnesty.

6T6Slu6uL OIduC anu OeuSldl AuiucSIy.
The administration of President GRANT has
not been marked by any extraordinary event of
whatever nature His warmest friends cannot
claim for him any great degree ability orstates
manship, while his political opponents are con-
strained to acknowledge that there is a total de-
ficiency of salient points thus far in his admin
istration, upon which they might berate him
for his actions. Indeed, the lack of motive is
the greatest defect of the administration. His
immediate predecessor furnished an abundance
of material to friends and opponents for politi-
cal discussion. but it must be admitted that
GRANT has kept aloof from all subjects likely
to produce any great CONSERVATION in the coun-
try. His motto has been "Let us have peace"
and although he has fraternized politically with
the EXTREMIST wing of the Radical party, there
is no reason to complain that he has originated
any. scheme of oppression or vindictiveness to-
wards the, Southern people. His political sins
are those of omission rather than of commits
sion. Viewed in this light, we are rejoiced to
learn bit of news that WAS flashed across the
wires a few days since. 1t seems that Presi-
dent GRANT has declared his purpose, as soon
as Texas should be admitted, to send in mes
sage to Congress recommending a general am
nesty. The message has been already prepared,
and is ready for the occasion 1t is probable
that this course has been resolved upon after
consultation with a portion of the more con-
servative Republicans in Congress, but recent
discussions indicate that no measures of the
hind can pass without violent opposition from
politicians of the extreme Radical style. Un-
doubtedly, there will be split in the dominant
party upon. this question of extending to recall
citrant rebels free and full pardon for past Of
fences. But we trust that the President will re-
main unmoved. in his determination, and viii
press this measure with some Of the vigor and
persistence that characterized him as soldier.
And we express this wish for many reasons,
Such measure will reflect credit upon the ad-
ministration, even though as conciliatory step
it has been rather tardily taken by the Repub-
lican leaders. 1t will likewise remove from our
midst fruitful source of complaint, and will
tend to produce better feeling among all
.eheses.

Educational.

The advertisements of Mr.. WIN. 81. HAYNIE,
School Commissioner, contain matters OF general
interest. twill be seen that the Board of Ex-
aminers have ordered an election for School
Trustees of the respective School Districts, to
be held on the 10th of April. The territorial
boundaries are the same as the townships, e3-
cept the village of Anderson, which is sepa-
rate School District. 1t is very important to
have faithful and upright men elected as Trus-
tees, and we hope the people will give their at
tention TO this matter. The law establishing
common schools, which is also published in our
columns to-day, deserves careful reading from
every citizen, and particularly that portion re-
Iating to the duties and powers of School Trus-
tees. An examination of its provisions will
convince every one as to the Importance of
selecting good and true men for these positions.
Teachers desiring to receive the benefit of
the common school fund are required to stand
an examination as to their proficiency, and
those having accounts against the State for
past services are likewise interested in Mr..
HAYNES advertisements.

The Advocate Of the. Winchester Rife.

The Advocate Of the. Winchester H1ne.
In speech delivered at Washington last
week, and which is copied from the Republican
organ into our columns to-day, Gov. SCOTT
ayows his firm belief that the Winchester rifle
is the great penacea for the political ills to
which his party has fallen a prey in the South.
He views the question. of duty, as Governor
ola State, in a,purely partisan sense, and as
is characteristic of the man, he utters dire
and bloody threats against his political oppo-
nents. This is very foolish and contemplate
On the part of the Governor He must know
that the greater portion of the opposite party
are trained and disciplined soldiers, and while
they have no love for him and his co-laborers,
they are equally destitute of fear, even though
he has the power and the will to enforce his
will go to the farthest extent, under the civil
law, in guaranteeing to every man the right to
vote as he pleascs; but we trust that the day of
layonets and rifles is forever gone. 1t seems,
however, that Gov. ScoTT differs with this senti-
ment, and is preparing to coerce the white peo-
pie of the State into quiet submission to his
reelection without opposition While prating
of intimidation and violence, he seeks to make
use of the one and threatens the other. We
are confident that all parties in the coming can
vass viii take up the refrain for peace, good
order and an unrestricted ballot, and are equal
ly,confdent that the most discreet and sensible
among the Governors political friends will re-
pudiate his talk of Winchester rifles, amnluni-
ton, and so forth.
