Cheating tho People out OF their Schools

The utter faithle5sneSS OF the Scout party
to the men who raised them to the high
places they now disgrace, is shown in every
circumstance OF their official career. Not
satisfied with speculating in State bonds and
railroad stocks, which enable the Ring to
dress in purple and battle in samian wine;
not content with piling loan on loan, and
debt on debt, until the liability of the State
to the public creditor is doubled in twelve
months; not satisfied with causing South
Carolina to be branded BY The Nation as the
place in which 'politics have reached the
s:lowest pitch oadegradation," these traitors
90 further still and aim deadly blow at the
very laborers and workingmen whom they
most profess to love. They have driven
capital from our shores. they have made
business progress tediously slow, they have
taken the hammer from the hands OF the
mechanic and the hoe from the grasp OF the
laborer. And, worse than all, they neglect
the most solemn duties imposed on them by
the law-tAey do nothing for the education
ofthe people.
More than two years ago the Reconstruc-
ton Convention ordained that the General
Assembly should provide, by suitable laws,
for the appropriation OF the Citadel and
grounds for educational purposes. But the
Citadel is still occupied by the United States
troops, and the children Of the working
man are without the collegiate education
which was ordered to be prepared for them.
And if the General Assembly, at the dicta-
ton of Scott and his menials, has failed to
perform the plain letter OF it's duty, the
same must be said OF the County School Com
missioners. Senator Cain, the editor OF the
Missionary Record, who two weeks ago
denounced the corruption and frauds OF
the Land Commission and the county Off
GERS, now demands, and with reason, a
more rigid enforcement OF the school laws of
the State. This colored senator, man
whose Radicalism is unquestioned, says that
the fact is established that ''there are not
tsschools in one out of every dozen districts
swithiu a county, outside the cities"
Further he says:
SIN st. Pauls, in st. Andrews, and all along
s'the Savannah Railroad, there are not four
s'schoos from Charleston to Pocotalgo. In
s'Christ Church, ST. Thomas, st. Michaefs, st.
'Denls, st. Johns Berkeley, ST. Stephens
and other points, there are not more
''than six schools If that many. Up the Santee
There is none, and everywhere complaints
ssare rife of the paibable neglect of the officers
ssto establish schools for the children"
All over the State it is the same story.
The whole receipts from the capitation tax,
and fifty thousand dollars besides, were ap-
propriated to educational purposes. This
large sum of money has, we suppose, been
spent, and where are the new schools,
where are the new scholars, where is the
fulflment of the pledges Of the Scott Ring
that they would educate the people?
The truth OF it is, and men Of all parties
know it, VIC need Reform in the Executive
Mansion, Reform in Finance, Reform in the
Legislature, and such Reform in the
school system that there shall be teacher

Tho South African Diamond Fever-Fifty
- Bostoniaus Going to the Mines.
From the Boston Post

Diamonds are a most attractive article.
alike in the eyes of women and men. A
number OF BOstonians are about to proc eed
to Africa to seek the shining treasures. The
British. bark George T. Kemp, Captain
Whiting, arrived at this port yesterday,
fresh from the South African fields. The
vessel will remain in port few days, and
ON her return will take out as passengers
about fifty Of our citizens. They are mostly
miners, who have had experience in Califor-
MA and Australia, and are familiar with the
privations and excitement of a miners life.
One of them, past the middle age of life,
has followed the occupation of miner for
twenty years, in different parts Of the
world, and is still in search Of the golden
riches. The vessel goes direct to Port Eliza
beth, Cape Of Good Hope, where the ex-
plorers have a journey of 428 miles by land
10 reach the diamond fields. The roads are
rood, the wayside inns frequent, and there
= plenty of water and grass for cattle. The
venture will at least be full Of interest. Let
- hope that it will result in fortune to
chose who may take part in it. The reports
about the wealth Of the country and the
siphness Of the diamond mines are, perhaps,
exaggerated in many instances, but there is
No doubt of the existence of the precious
GEMS there to more or less extent. The
weasel will sail about December Is. The
HIT is still open for q few more.

II the Editor of the New York Sun:
SR-You and both know Admiral POr-
tsr. Everybody at Vicksburg about Grant,
except Grant himself, knew Porter was not
his friend. Some Of us told Grant so, but
- would not listen to the charge patiently.
You remember when Porter made his
unsuccessful assault on Grand Gull, and
FrOposed> to renew the assault the
raaxt day. Porter said he had disabled
N the gums but one, and that he would
Silence next day. Grant could not wait.
That night he ran the transports by Graud
Calf. Every gun that was used against the
xunboats opened on the transports. Grant
naArched his army to Hard Times, crossed
fAe Mississippi, and landed at Bruinsburg.
You were with him when he fought the
enemy and routed him near Port Gibson.

evacuated Grand Gulf.
As soon as Porter heard the explosion OF
tho magazine, and knew the enemy had
abandOned his works, he crossed the river
I'D captured the deserted Notifications and
their siege guns with an unarmed tug-bOat.
He immediately ordered the fort dis
nAntled, and had the guns brought to the
laading and marked Captured by the U.

~ this man continued publicly unexpOsed
until he climbed the tree high enough to ex-

Charles Cavaroc, Esq, President Barbarin Gas
Lighting Company
DEAR SIR-It affords me pleasure to state that the
operation of the gas machine for sixteen lights
put up by your company in my dwelling, has
proved to be entirely satisfactory. Since the
second day of Octooer. last the gas has been
burned nightly, at an average of eight Arsand
burners) lights from early dusk until about eleven
o'clock, and one light all night. The light Isl in
every respect, all that could possibly be desired.
1t is perfectly SAFE and is superior to coal gas in
brilliancy, the light being softer and much easier
to read or write by.
The simplicity of the machine is such that any
member of my family can attend to it during my
absence.
Very respectfully,

DEAR SIR-EncsOsed we take pleasure in handing
you a letter Of Mr.. Michel D. Gaudet, manager a
the sugar plantation Buena Vista, upon which the
Barbaxn Gas Light has just been introduced. The
perusal of the same will entirely convince yOu of
the perfect success Of said gas in every respect
proving itself fully equal to any other light in
USe.s
1t gives US a double pleasure to indorse Mr..
Gaudet's statement, not alone from the fact that
Buena Vista is of the first places where this gas
has been tried, but more 50 that considering the
well known competency Of said gentleman, his
judgment in such matters deserves the most inn

The desire to do full justice to the excellency of

ourselves.

small, and, notwithstanding this defect, the light
