grandson lives in @ wooden or brick dwelling of handsome style, and pos sessing all sorts of conveniences. In this series of dwellings is exhibited in on one view the history of a century of progress. We would have these more and less ancient dwellings set up in Fairmount Park and inhabited by the backwoodsman and farmer, with their families, in the costumes apprO- priate to the times they represent. It would be interesting to see the first settler-the man of the wilderness half-farmer and half-hunter, in his buck-skin brooches and hunting-shirt, stirring his stumpy little patch of ground with pair of balky steers and shovel-plow to plant his corn ; and then throwing his rifle on his shoulder and starting out to bring in a deer, while his wife, in a costume as antiquated as her husbands, enter tained wandering barbarians, Scyth- ians, and pagans, with buckwheat cakes and honey.
 The farmer or more modern date and his family would be quite as novel and pleasant spectacle, going about their business in substantial holnespun dresses of flax and wool, the manufacture of which, in its various processes, they could exhibit, while they offered cider and apples to their neighborly visitors.
 In addition to presenting their pro- ducts, it will be of importance to the States to exhibit in all practicable ways, pictorial, graphic. statistical, and literary, the material facts which will define their polite, economic, and social characteristics. The amount of arabic land and the proportion under cultivation, the extent of forests. mountain ranges, artificial roads of every kind, and navigable water courses, should be strikingly ex- hibited by maps, and photographic views might be made of scenes or ob- jects of peculiar interest. The price and quality of all lands open to set clement may be advertised to great advantage, as we'll as the cost of inn proved and unimproved farms, the wages of labor in different occupa- tions, and the value of all kinds of products.

REFERRING to the appeal of the case of the murderer Hargrave who was sentenced to be hung on the 9th instant, the Prescott Miner very truly and properly remarks:
 Many good citizens have given up all hope of ever seeing murderer punished by law, in this Territory, and regret the fact that the costly farce of arresting, guarding, and ministering to the wants of murderers has been so frequently indulged in at their expense.

Alabama Claims.

The Treaty of Washington has at least effected its main purposes-those of a peaceable settlement of the we'll known Alabama and similar claims, and the avoidance of war with Eng land. From first to last, the United States has been the winner in honors, money and propositions of interna- tional law. Annexed are late dis patches on the subject:
 GENEVA, Sept. 10.-The amount of dam ages awarded to the United States is three millions and few thousand pounds ster- ling-abOut fifteen millions of dollars. The closing session was held on Saturday.
 The Advertiser London) expresses dis, satisfaction at the result of the Geneva Arbitration. It says "the Britishers have allowed the Americans to bully us out O1 three or four millions of pounds"

WE learn that Cotton & Scott, who have been carrying on the foundry business on the corner of H and Ninth streets during the past year, have lately decided to increase the scope of their business, having sent to Newark, New Jersey, for an en- zine, lathe and boring machine, to be shipped to San Diego by steamer via Panama. They have also sent to Stockton for one of the Roots patent force blast blows for their cupola, and intend to have the concern running as soon as possible. .-[ [San Diego Union.

Another "UnfOrtunate" Vessel.

We believe this is the polite way ofspeak
ing of these accidents The bark 'Beb-
ington'' which cleared from Bull River for
London, with Ills tons of phosphates, on
March 26, was deposited upon bank or
bar in St. Helena sound by her pilot, A. II.
Aston, one of the recently appointed pilot
commissioners, who succeeded few weeks
ago in finding place in Port Royal harbor
upon which to leave the unfortunate bark
"Ebenezer. If these accidents continue
the number of barks visiting ports in this
neighborhood will probably decrease.

The Daily fund is legacy left b. Thad-
dious Daily, who died before the war and
left his money to the poor of St., Lukes
Parish, with directions that it should be
invested judiciously and the interest used for
the purpose above mentioned. During the
war a portion of the fund was Invested in
Confederate bonds and was lost, tie balance
was loaned on bond and mortgage. By the
acts of the Legislature of 1868, the clerk of
the court is made trustee of the fund and it
is made his duty to report in open court
once year the condition of the fund and
how the money has been expended. This
fund if properly managed would now
amount to about $4,000.

THE BEAUFORT REPUBLICAN, APRIL 4, 1872
The College Scrip.

By the act of July, 2, 1852, Congress gave
to each State quantity of Government land
as an endowment for agricultural education.
This grant has been variously applied. Mas
sachusetts founded with her share the very
successful Amherst Agricultural College, and
Connecticut added the land decided her to
the assets of the Scientific College of Yale.
North Carolina has just published an ac-
count of her disposal of the gift. The land
scrip was given to the North Carolina Uni
versity, and sold by the Trustees for fifty
cents on the dollar. Instead of devoting the
proceeds to agricultural education, as they
were bound by honor and law to do, they
used portion of them to pay the arrears of
professional salaries, and invested the re-
mainder in State bonds, which are now
practically worthless.
There is great curiosity to know what has
become of the South Carolina scrip. A COM
Mittee was appointed at the recent meeting
in Orangeburg to ascertain the whereabouts
of this college fund. We trust that they will
find that it has been better invested than
that of North Carolina.

Lumber.

In our last issue we alluded to the charter-
ng by Messrs. Enslow & Co., ship brokers
Of Charleston, of the several vessels recently
loaded and loading at Port Royal for differ
ent coastwise ports with cargoes of lumber
manufactured by the mills along the line of
the Port Royal Railroad.
We have learned with pleasure that
through the agency of that enterprising firm
a contract has been made with the mills on
the railroad for large cargo for the Cuba
market and they will soon send another YES
sci here to load it.
Wear glad to notice an opening in that
direction and we are encouraging the hope
that our port will soon show her ability to
furnish her full share of the lumber business
which is now done by her old neighbors lin
Florida, Georgia and our own Statc) with
South America, continental and other great
markets of the world.

THE GEORGIA ROADS RARGaIN.

While we have much to congratulate our
selves upon in the prospect of an early COM
pletion of the Port Royal Railroad, We
cannot refrain from expressing our regret
that to. strangers will accrue the main profit
of the enterprise The men who have so
heroicaily fought the battle for our road win
a victory, it is true, but one comparatively
barren of the rich fruits they were entitled
to. These Will be poured into the Golfers of
the Georgia Road. IF our mea had possessed
the means, as they possessed thecourage and
sagacity, to bring the enterprise to compile
ton, instead of paying others to connect
their fortunes with the Port Royal, they
would be in a position to demand price
far higher than that now paid by them to
enter into the alliance. The Georgia road
has reaped where others sowed. With this
connection she can bid defiance to all compe-
petition Does planter wish to send cot
ton to Norfolk? The Georgia road can take
it as cheaply as the cheapest. To Charles
ton? To Savannah? To Port Royal? The
Georgia road will make the price in each
case, not only for herself, but for all COM
petitors.
All these advantages ought to have been
at the disposal of our road, and its projec-
tors ought to have been able to. them for
millions.
Then, too, our interests would have been
safer in the hands of our own people. But
we suffer, in common with the many from
lack of means. To those which have is
given. Let us be thankful for what we have
"a road connecting us with Augusta and
the whole system of Southern railroads.

THE PORT ROYAL RAILROAD.
A Mild Howl from Savannah.

Our Savannah neigbbors don't relish the
idea of the endorsements by the Georgia
Railroad of the bonds of the Port Royal
Railroad. The Savannah Republican howls
at the proposition in this fashion,.
Augusta and Mr.. John p. King have
long been in want Of something; exactly
what, neither has appeared to know. Both
the city and the Georgia Railroad have
prospered, but they have for years been
casting about for some movement that will,
at least, iDjure somebody else, if it should
not benefit them. They have, at last, af-
ter much deliberation, hit upon the road
to Port ROYAL as the great desideratum,
something that is destined to make both
the city and the Georgia Road rich and
happy AS to the scheme itself, however
Augusta may feel about 1t. We shall be
greatly mistaken should Mr.. King find it a
very easy matter to convince the stock
holders of his road that the investment of
a million dollars in order to get control Of
a railroad from Augusta to Port Royal is
a wise and beneficent scheme. In our hum.
bic judgment it is ridiculous one, viewed
as a mere business transaction. Augusta
has already two outlets to the sea, in di-
rect line OF railway to Charleston and Sa-
vannah; and how she is to be materially
benefited by building another to run be-
tween them, and nearly orquite as long, we
do not understand. She has now fierce
competition for her freights, and they are
carried low enough in all conscience Her
new road makes the third competitor, and
to get freight it must take them at still low
er rates, in fact below the remuneratlng
point. We cannot see the wisdom Of this.
Indeed, the whole scheme looks to US like
an open declaration of war BY Augusta

BULLYING GRANT.

The Charleston Republican asserts that
the South Carolina delegates to the Phila-
delphia convention were instructed, as a
condition to voting for Grant, to demand
the removal of certain federal office holders
N Charleston We learn in addition, that a
meeting was held in Columbia to decide
upon the names to be handed to the Presi-
dent 70 till the vacancies The meeting was
harmonious in all save the names. No
agreement could be come to, and the meet
ing adjourned to meet in Washington this
week.
The facts of the case are, that no such
instructions were given to the delegation.
Gen. Grant will not need the votes
OF South Carolina in the nominating
convention. If they should cast their votes
for another they will probably stand
alone To this We would have no OBJ
objection if it proceeded from nobler mo
tive. We think our delegation would honor
itself and the State by casting the vote of
South Carolina for Charles Sumner. But
to do so because Gen. Grant will not dis
pense the. paltry patronage of the state in
accordance with the desires and interests of
Tom Mackey would be no compliment to the
pure record of Mr.. Sumner Nor, do we
believe that Gen. Grant is the man to be
eoerced into any line of action, but rather
that the very means, conceived to be so
powerful by the petty politicians who have
devised this scheme, will result in fixing more
hrmly the present officers in their places,
and close his mind to any arguments against
them. The whole scheme is worthy only of
small political bummerS.

FREE EDUCATION.

TIE engrossing attention which the
United States Senate has paid to the angry
discussions and disreputablc personal quar-
rels of its members, who have rendered the
body almost contemplate to decent, sober
minded people, has prevented it from adopt
ing measure which in its provisions, is
just, wise and benefcient. We refer to the
National Education Bill introduced into the
House Of Representatives by Mr.. Perez
and which, after some amendments, passed
the House in February last. This bill con-
socrates the money to be received from the
sale of the public lands to the cause of
popular education.
The money is to be divided among the
several States and Territories, according to
the ratio of their illiteracy, as found by
the census of 1870. 1t requires, as condi-
ton of receiving this gift, that each State
shall provide by its own local laws for the
free education of all it's children, between
the ages of six and sixteen years that it
will devote all moneys received by this act
to this purpose; and that it will report an
nually the condition of its schools. The
management, method, courses of instruc-
ton; in fact, every matter pertaining to
common school education are left free to each
State. All that the general government
wants is that the children of the nation
shall be educated, and that without charge
Under the benefcient operation of this
act, South Carolina has an opportunity to
place within the reach of the humblest of the
people such educational advantages as have
never before been by them enjoyed
Nothing has such debasing effect upon the
moral and political life of a people as wide
spread ignorance; and sur' present lamenta-
ble condition as people, and as political
community, is due, principally, to the terri
ble ignorance which prevails among us. Asin
a more than calculable proportionate ratio to
its social, moral and educational advantages,
is State position in science, politics and
religion; so is it all the more degraded, as
it lacks these elements of civilization. A
voice of thanksgiving should go up from
every hill, grove and valley of the south to
the nabn philanthropists who have urged
this measure before Congress.
