ENCOURAGING reports have been re
ceived at the Bureau Of Education rela'
tive to the efforts making in the States
Of Virginia and Mississippi to put the
common schools required by their Con
situations on firm basis. State Su
perintendent w. H. Ruffner, of Vir
ginia, writes recently that there were
then one hundred common schools in the
State. On the lst instant this number
was increased TO one hundred and fifty,
State Superintendent H. R. Pease, Of
Mississi.sippi, writes quite hopefully
that by the 18th inst. they will be able
to open over two thousand district
schools in that state.

GRANTS ALABAMA CLAIMS SCHEME
The opinion is expressed by excellent
authority that the proposition of the
President for a commission to audit and
settle the Alabama and similar claims
cannot pass the present Congress.
There is hardly time to mature and
pass so important a measure, and it is
very doubtful, despite all lobby infu-
ences, if it can secure the support OF the
committee of Foreign Affairs in either
branch of Congress. The persons urg.
ing this measure have been requested
by the committee to draft bill in &C.
cordance with their views, and are en-.
couraged by the suggestion; but even
they may prove that this is not very
friendly proceeding.

ANOTHER DEFEAT OF THE ADMINS
TRAnoN.-The defeat Of Howard fer
the senatorship in Michigan is looked
on as another defeat of party admin
istration. Ferry, for six months pre-.
vious to his election, had been sending
documents all over the State that How,
ard was engineering the San Domingo
scheme, and Eas champion ofthe ad-
ministration in all its blunders How
ard was the candidate of Grant, and all
the office-holders in the State were in
structed to vote and work for him. He
obtained the favor of foreign appoint
ments from Grant, expressly to satisfy
the disconnected out there, and make
strength. To no purpose, however, as
the result shows.

RLEETON ITEMS.
From the Courier,

The Hale property, recently used as
a State House, has been rented BY the
citizens of Charleston as place OF re-
sort for the members ofthe Legislature.
Reading,rooms, caucusipg rooms and a
restaurant will be fitted up in the
building; whether q member wants to
write a love.letter, talk politics or eat a
clam he can be accommodated,
RErIRED.-Weregret to chronicle this
week the retirement from the editorial
profession in this city Of Mr. F. P. Lam
bert, of the Charleston Herald. Mr..
Lambert has had editorial control Of
the Herald since it's establishment, and
has conducted that journal with signal
ability and success. g. .. .... .
INAccEssIBLE.-One Of the great objec-
tons to locating public institutions at
any ofthe townsin the uppermost part OF
the Slate,is their inaccessibility. At
this season of the year it is impossible
to reach Parkersburg, Tor example, by
any save the overland route. A town.
which thus lacks communication with
the public and business centre Of the
State; which Charleston has become,
labors under a, great disadvantage.
SEVERE AcclDExr.-Mr. James F.
Whalen, of the Herald office, met with
sad accident on Saturday night, while
loading a pistol. The cartridge hewas
using was too large, and as he tried to
force it in the barrel, it exploded, badly
tearing his left hand and break.
ing one Of his fingers. His injury is a
severe one, but ne will not he perma-
nently disabled.
PEEsoNAL.-Hon Allen T. Caperton,
OF Monroe, is now 10 this city. He is
in fine health and spirits and his many
friends, both here and throughout the
State, will learn. with pleasure of his
hearty appearance and splendid preser-
walton. Without knowing positively,
we venture the assertion that no man
in the State was more, readily recon
ciled to the result of the late election
than he.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
-:o:-
CONSUMPTION Can be Cured.

An Eastern medical periodical gives an
interesting account of the complete cure Of
Mrs. Amos StaufTer, of Manor, Lancaster
county, Pa, of Hereditary Consumption.
Her parents and several brothers and sisters
died of this terrible disease. Mrs. Stauffer
was herself reduced to mere skeleton, the
pulse at 40, her breathing painfully diff
cult, expectations very excessive, di-
arrhpa worse than chronic, and her con-
dition so hopeless that at conference of
the old and skillful physicians she was pro-
nounced incurable. At this stage of the
disease, DIR. s. B. Hartman, of Millersville,
Lancaster county, Pa, n physician of four
teen years standing, prescribed MIsHLER's
HERB BITTERs. The patient soon expert
enced a pleasing invigorating sensation
throughout her system, and encouraged by
her friends to continue under DR.. Hartman S
treatment she did so, gradually improving
under increased doses according to her
strength until she entirely recovered. Mrs.
Staufier is still living in the full enjoyment
OF perfect health. c. b. Herr. Esq, Prcsi-
dent Of the Lancaster county Pa National
Bank, subStantiates the particulars OF this
most wonderful case.

SOMEBODY who runs the Cabell county
. Press has got the FLICK amendment and
the Wheeling RBGlsIER ION the brain
if he has any brain-and publishes a
number OF what he seems to consider
very smart filings at the Editor Of this
paper. He boasts that he reflects the
opinions Of Judge FERGUSON, which is
rendered probable by the fact that that
gentleman remembers sundry articles
which appeared in the REGISTER when
he out Heroded Herod in his Radical
ism and in his persecution of the rebels
in West Virginia, Judge FERGUsoN's
democracy is of too recent date to give
much weight to his Opinions" as to the
policy to be pursued by the Democratic

The MOTLEY LETrER.-Thc Motley
correspondence has been the cause of
much comment in political circles The
course pursued by the President in the
matter comes in for significant amount
OF abuse from those who differ with
Grant politically, while on the other
hand the removal of Motley is cons;d-
cred a most judicious proceeding.

FIRE.-We regret to learn that the
residence of Mr.. George Deck, on the
David Kilmer farm, was entirely con-
sumed by fire on Saturday last, together
with all the furniture, clothing, etc, and
one hundred dollars in money. The fire
originated from a stove pipe, and no
one being at home but the ladies of the
family, before help arrived the fire was
under such Roadway that it was impos-
sible to prevent the total destruction OF
the house and contents. The loss falls
heavily upon Mr. Deck, especially de-
plorable at this season of the year, and
we hope that the sympathies OF the
community will result in something more
substantial than a mere expression OF
MISUNDERSTANDING Independent.

The Late Lanenfed

Lincoln sent down his personal friends
and retainers to Dixie to exchange sup
plies for cotton and tobacco. Col. Sin
gleton went down by his express au,
thority to Richmond in the winter OF
1864 to purchase cotton and tobacco and
butter, and in the autumn Of 1869, be-
fore his removal from command in
Southern Virginia, allowed large GUAM
titles OF supplies to 90 to General Lees
lines, thereby feeding Lees army when
they could get food nowhere else. These
facts are all capable ofthe fullest proof,
upon investigation.

MOTLEY, previous to his appointment

MOTLEY, previous to his appointment
as Minister to England, was chiefly
known as the historian of "the Rise
and Fall Of the Dutch Republic. The
history Of the rise and fall of the his,
torian, as published in the daily papers,
is heavy reading, in comparison with
which the Dutch Republic was light
literature indeed. Those who have
patiently read the correspondence be-
tween MOTLEY and Secretary FISH differ
widely in opinions as to the case pre-
sented The administration journals
seem to think that MOTLEY was unfit
for the mission, that he was
wrong-headed and obstinate, and that
he should have resigned long ago,
Upon the other hand, the journals that
are not in the GRANT interest, and that
10 not feel bound to defend every act Of
the Administration, pronounce the re-
moval of MOTLEY totally indefensible,
and prompted solely by motives Of petty
revenge upon his friend Senator SUN
SER. In the correspondence, the his
torian seems to have the better Of the
Secretary, and, from the indications it
affords that FISH is out Of his element
in diplomatic letter-writing. we can
easily understand his reported wish to
retire as soon as possible to the shady
hooks and quiet streams of private
life - . -----

In connection with the unwilling OF
Miss WINNIE REAM's statue Of LINCOLN
and the satisfaction Of the Congressional
critics with the work, recollection is reviv-
ed ofan incident OF the Impeachment pre-
ceedings. One Of the Senators board
ed at Mrs. REAM's house in Washing
ton and Miss WINNIE was asked to try
10 induce him to vote for impeachment,
and threats were made that unless she
did so the contract for the LINCOLN
statue would be rescinded, She prompt
ly and Indignantly refused to have any
thing to do with the matter, and de-
clared that her sympathies were entirely
with the President and against his &C,
cnsers. Whereupon the valorous and
chivalrous BEN BUTLER of Massachus-
etts, declared war against her, turned
her out of her studio in the Capitol
building and inflicted upon her all the
annoyances his malignity could invent.
