Major General W. T. Sherman. United
States Army, passed through the city yester
day. We are somewhat anxious to learr,
how many Ku- Kluxcs General Sherman will
encounter in his Southern tour, and be able to
report to his Senatorial brother, who is SO bit
ter an enemy to the South that he proposes an
amendment to the Ku-Klux bill SO atrocious in
its character that even his party could not swal
low it.
1t will be cheering to know that General
Sherman, without guard, has been able to tra
vel through the South with as perfect safety,
and the recipient of as perfect polieuess as
was experienced by Sergeant Bates when he
marched on foot and alone with United State
flag in bis hand from Vicksburg to Washing
ton. And this reminds US that Sergeant Bate (
has just published letter in Northern paper
on the subject of that march of his. He say
the only obstacles he encountered were from
pet-baggers. and negroes iustigated by them
their object being to make his enterprise fail
ure, and TO throw the blame 90 the Southern
people. To effect this he was nenaoed with
threats of personal violence, and was sought to
be bribed to give up his trip. He makes tha
startling statement that in North Carolina ba
was offered ten thousand dollars to give up his
tramp, and be ascribes the offer to Governor
Holden, of that State If General Sherman,
or any other Northern ulaa, is at all in danger
IN the South, it Is from Radical scoundrels wi j
| would not hesitate to main or Kill them, II
they could fix the crime On the Ku-Klnx, and

4 TTENTEON, TRUSTEES.-Thea tten-
IA ton of the Board of School Trustees of the
county, is called to the 44th and 46th sections of
the School Act. The first makes it a condition
of the Districts receiving any State funds, that
it makes provision for school houses, furniture,
textbooks, for INDECENT children sc. Almost
every neigh borhood has a school house which
will answer for the present. but most of them are
without desks, and no provision has been made
for text books for the INDECENT
The 46th section imposes another condition
that written statement, signed by the chairman
and clerk Of the board, shall be filed with the
County Superintendent stating that the school
has been kept in operation five months, Or pro-
vision has been made to that effect. This was
modified by asubsequent Act, leaving it discre-
tionary with the State Board for the present scho-
lastic yearto allow pay for shorter term, which
said Board has fixed at three months
The Districts are liable for another small as
sessment viz the pay of the clerk of district
boards, particularly for taking the census of the
children Of the township.
The law requires notice of the election on these
questions to be posted at least ten days before the
election, at the voting places in the district.
