Salaries of School Commissioners.

A bill "to regulate the salaries of School
Commissioners of the various counties III this
State" prepared by one of the House commit
tees, has been submitted tothe Legislature, and
provides:
That on and after the passage of this act, the
salaries of School Commissioners OF tie various
counties shall be as follows: For the counties
of Abbcville, Colleton and Orangeburg, each,
the sum of one thousand dollars for the coun-
ties of Darlington, Grcenville Laurens, Marion,
Richand, Spartanburg, Sumter and York, each
the sun of eight hundred and fifty dollars for
the counties of Anderson, Chester, Fairfield,
Georgetown, kershaw, Newbcrry, Union and
williamsburg, each, the sum OF seven hundred
dollars for the eOanties of Clarendon, Chester
field, Howy, Lexington, Marlboro and Oconec,
each, the sum of FIVE hundred dollars; for the
county Of Barnwell, eleven hundred dollars;
for the counties of Beaufort and Edgeheld, each,
the sum of twelve hundred dollars; for the
county of Pickens, four hundred dollars; for
the County of Charleston, eighteen hundred
dollars.
This arrangement is entirely arbitrary, and
has no reference to the amount of labor required
to be performed, the area of territory presided
over or the number of schools or children to
be supervised by the School Commissioner.
The Columbia Union can see no good reason
for such classification, and we agree with it,
In nearly all of the counties, the salary of
$1,000 now paid to each School Commissioner
is an exorbitant sum for the work performed,
and every one will rejoice to see q reduction.
But we trust that our legislators will not, under
the influence of a spasmodic economy, impair
the usefulness of worthy oficials,b by making an
unjust discrimination for or against any county
Let there be an equitable distribution Of the
amount paid: out in salaries to these Commits
sioners, and there can bcno grumbling in any
quarter. We like the suggestion made by the
Columbia Union, as follows.
A still better plan would be to pay the School
Commissioner ten cents per head for every per.
son in the county between the ages of six and
sixteen years of age, The trustees Of every
district should be compelled to make an emu
meration of tho children in their respective dis
tricts, between the ages of six and sixteen,
every year, and from this enumeration the
scholastic population would be accurately
known, and upon it the salary Of the Commits
sioner could be based. In no case, however,
should it exceed 81, 200 per annum.
Such plan as this would give, according to
the last enumeration, Abbcvillc about $40,
Anderson $3.50, Barnwell $500, Marion $40,
Orangcburg $500, Spartanburg Sl2, Sumter
S757, York $3.50, Clarendon $500, Richland
5000, Darlington 5000, Chesterfield $175 and so
OH to the end. 1t is upon this plan that the
School Commissioners in both Pennsylvania and
New Jersey arc paid, and these two States have
the best systems now III use.

Judge Vernon were adopted by the House of
Representatives on griday last and were pre-

vhy a sufficient military force had not been
plsccd in certain refractory and riotous Co@n-
ties, to protect the lives, liberty anapropery OF
the citizens; why the outlaws have not been
brought to conaign punishment, &c.
The Governor replied in quite q full and ex-
plicit manner, stating that he knew of no Coun-
ties that he could pronounce riotous and refrac-
tory, and had received no information of any
combination on the part of the citizens of any
County to defeat the enforcement of the laws; (;
but, on the contrary, had received the assurances
of numbers of the good and influential people
of the Counties in which disorders have recent
ly occurred, that they were ready and willing
to assist the Executive in the preservation OF
peace and order that in no case had he heard
of resistance being made to the officers of the
law, and that until their efforts failed, and the
civil law proved inadequate to the protection OF
the citizen, he did not feel called upon nor
would he employ the extraordinary powers
vested in him by the Constitution. Instead OF
the employment of the military power of tho
State, the Governor recommended the granting
of additional power to the Attorney General OF
the State, with regard to the supervision of
criminal prosecutions, and the employment of
assistant counsel. Also, recommended that a
contingent fund be placed at his disposal for
the employment of IL secret detective force to
facilitate the efforts of solicitors in procuring
testimony, &c.
The House adjourned.

ADVANTAGE OF TAKING A NEWSPAPER
The following poetical effusion may be familiar
to some of our readers, but it is worthy of re-
publication for the moral set forth, if the poetry
is not so smooth: "Iknew two friends as much
alike as ever you saw two stumps, and no phre-
nologist could find difference in their bumps.
One took paper, and his life was happier than
a kings; his children all could read and write,
and talk of men and things. The other took
no papers, and while strolling through the
wood, tree fell down upon his crown, and
killed him-as it should. Had hebeen reading
of the news, at home, like neighbor Jim, I'll
bet cent this accident had not befallen him !!
So, if you want to be preserved, and live to a
green old age, sir, subscribe at once and pay in
advance for the Anderson htelHgcnccr!

Gov. Scott's Message.

A brief synopsis of the Special message of
Gov. Scott. transmitted to the House Of Rep
resentativs on Monday last, in response to
concurrent resolution asking for Information
touching the recent disturbances in Spartan
burg and Union counties, will be found in the
proceedings of the Legislature, We regret
that it is not in our power to publish the mes
sage in full this week. G;ov. Scott has admin
istercd lust rcbuke to that reckless spirit
which seems to have animated the leading
members Of the House of Representatives, III
demanding martial law and an equipment OF
the militia as remedies for these unfortunate
troubles. He recognizes, as every sasacious
citizen does,. that resort to such extreme
measures would only aggravate the troubles
and iaesease the extent of disturbances which
have already subsidized. He prefers to rely
upon a more effective administration OF the
civil law to prevent a recurrence of violence
and bloodshed, and in this determination every
good citizen will support him. We believe
that the civil authority, if properly admins
tered, will prove adequate to maintain the pub
lie peace in every section of the State, and fur
ther believe that the armed bands of militia
yet scattered over the State are more dangerous
to that public peace than all the marauders
and night-riders supposed to exist throughout
the so-called disloyal counties. Let Gov.
Scott have the nerve to do what was promised
two months ago; and when the militia arms
are safely deposited in the State armory, the
best and most influential citizens all over the
"up-country" will more readily support and
maintain his efforts to protect the person and
property of the most humble citizen. Until
this menacing cause is entirely removed, Gov.
Scott must chiefly rely upon his State officials,
and only receive tacit support elsewhere.

EXTRA PAY TO JUDGE ORR REFUSED By
THE SENATE.-Wc make the following extract
from the proceedings of the Senate on Thurs
day last as reported by the correspondent of
the Charleston Ncrs:
The report of the committee on the judiciary
on Joint resolution to allow Hon. James l..
Orr compensation for extra services, was dis
cusscd at great length to-day in the Senate,
about two hours being given to it. The report
of the committee recommended that two thou
sand dollars be allowed. The evidence before
the committee showed that during 1860 and 70
Judge Orr held court at Abbcvillc i'll August,
1869, three weeks at Newbcrry, October, 1869,
three weeks; at Edgetield, January, 1870, three
weeks and at Spartanburg, March, 1870, three
weeks The report also states that the COM
mittcc is opposed to extra allowances to salarled
officers for services rendered; but when, as in
the present case, so much more service than e1-
peccd is rendered, it is but just that there
should be proper recognition of it.
The resolution was introduced by Mr.. Whit
temore, but gotten up by Mr.. Wilson, from An
derson, who defended trc report of the COM
mittcc.
Wimbush opposed it. 1t was on!sa few days
ago a resolution voting some one five thousand
dollars for aiding the solicitors had gone
through, and it was hard to find out who got it.
If the Judges had failed to do their duty, they
did not fail to draw their salaries. The Senate
should refuse to pay any such accounts.
Nash thought that they did nothing but leg
islatc for lawyers and judges. Leslie urged that
this resolution would only open the door for
many others. He did not oppose the resols-
ton itself, but he thought it contrary to the
spirit of tho consultation. Nash got the floor
again, and said he very much suspected that
this changing from one circuit to another was
an arrangement between the judges. Wilson
spoke at length, and favored the claim as just
one. He was conservative, and in favor of hon
est claims, and thought this should be paid;
Governor Orr had not anticipated this increased
work when he took the position,
The discussion, as I said before, occupied
much time, and the matter obtained much
prominencc-no so much on its own merits, as
on its being an indicator Of other like claims.
Mr.. Duvall, from Chesterfield, made speech
against it. At the close of what he said, the
whole matter was indefinitely postponed by an
almost tie. vote of lS to II.
