UsiHAVIaM n THE sVUIIILISN sIAILs-
The condition of the Southern States is unhappiy
not such as all true patriotic citizens would like 10
see. Social ostraeism for opinions sake and per
sonal violence or threats towards persons entertain
ing political views opposed to those entertained by
the majority of the citizens, prevents immigration
and the flow of much needed capital into the States
lately in rebellion. It will be happy condition Of
the country when the old citizens ofthese States will
take interest in public affairs, vote for men re-
presenting their views, and permit full freedom Of
expression and the ballot in those entertaining differ
ent political convictions

THEY CAN NOT SEE IT.

We find many persons disposed to COM
plain about the management of the schools
in the County. 1t is really surprising
that SO much has been done under the
circumstances. The money in the hands
OF the Trustee has been put to the best
possible use. Many schools in different
parts of the county hare been paid their
pro rata. The teachers have drawn
promptly whatever amount was due them
at the expiration IF their schools.
The present system lacks power to put
itself in operation. The amount of
money arising from the present system of
taxation is not sufficient to encourage
prompt action on the part of the people.
Whatever has been done for the schools
is due to individual effort. Gel. Thos.
IL. Reeves, County Superintendent, has
spared no pains to make the County sys-
ten operative. The great difficulty is
want of money. 1t is not expected that
any officer can organize schools without
funds.
We are not, at this time, prepared to
give the number of schools taught
during the winter under the County sys-
TEN. But suffice it to say that the Couu-
ty has done much better than was antici-
pated.
Every dollar of the school money has
been properly and judiciously expended.
The funds have been in trust worthy
hands. Our Trustee, Capt. Mcpherson,
has taken great care to have the schools
paid according to hi instructions.
The County Court Clerk has used every
effort to render aid to the school interest.
In fact much has been done for Common
Schools. Any school system to be effec-
tive must have the sympathy and CO op-
Grafton Of the people. The difficulties in
the way of greater progress in the educa-
tlonal interest, arc great and almost in
~surmouptable. We must have a larger
school fund and a better system, q better
law to compel the people to organize
schools.

KEEP IL T1sEPEOrE

VIZ must have common schools sup
ported by taxation. When the people
become fully aroused to the vast import
ance Of education. the Legislature will
give us an efficient School law. The
whole thing rests with the people.
The friends of education every where
must be up and doing. Public opinion
is not such as to compel tina Legislature
to act. That body carefully trcads in the
wake Of public opinion. We need men
to so before tao common people-to lead of
in these great reforms. 1t must be done.
No man but : drone will stand idle when
the case of Common Schools hangs tremb-
ling in the ba'ance. Take away the hope
of a School system and Tennessee loses
all its attractions. Our mountains preg-
n@nt with inexh&ustible stores Of mineral
wealth are nothing without School houses.
Our genial skies and fertile plans will
cease TO delight our eyes and gladden. our
heart, unless the School Master is abroad
on the '"Gd. Ecuclt;on is tie salvation
of the people.
The Common Schools-the peoples col
lege must lie defended. Our children, if
they are educated at all, must look to the
Country School houses into which tho
thousands of children low cryiug-for help
for intellectual light must be g"thcred. if
the next generation is to be wiser, and
happier and better than the present.

THE LEGISLATURE AND
/. - GEEEnnUG

We cannot tell what the Legislature at
its call session will do for education, but
we infer that nothing will be done as our
Legislators have the happy art Of taking
great care not to go ahead of public opin-
ion. The Counties voting down the tax
Tor School purposes will be taken as evil
dcnces OF the popular will on this subject.
The bill to amend the school laws of
the State came up on its third reading
yesterday, and those of the Senate who
were opposed to any legislation on the
subject at this time resorted to the SUBJ
terfuge Of lacking on such amendments
as virtually defeated the objects of the
bill, 4 great many warm speeches were
made on both sides. And the final result
was that the DILL with all its amendments
was laid on tie table. Because of the
large munger of counties voting down the
proposition to levy a tax for school pur-
poses. members are afraid to vote for any
measure imposing Il tax for such purpose.
The people have to be educated up to
the necessity of an education, before We
can inauguratc a good system of public
schools.-KnorcWe Press G. Herald.

Education and Crime.

From General Eaton's report we gather
the following. As commissioner Of Edu-
| cation he is doing a noble work:
4 table of ratios shows that there was,
in 1870 one homicide to every $4,000
people in the Northern States. one to
every 1000 in the Pacific States and Ter
ritories, and one to every 10000 in the
Southern States.
In 1866 there were 1900 persons re-
ported in the prisons of the United States {;
but the statistics on this subject are very
imperfectly kept. Prisons and reforma-
tories, in some parts of the country, keep
ing no record of the intelligence of the
persons committed. In New England
these statistics have, in some cases, re-
ceived considerable attention, and the able
writer who furnishes the accompanying pa
per. has drawn the following c%onclusi on {:
L. At least so per cent. of the or line
of New England is committed by those
who have no education, or none sufficient
to serve them a valuable purpose in life.
In 1S68,2S per cent. of all prisoners in
the country were unable to read or write.
From 3 to Z per cent. of the population
of the United States commit 80 per cent.
of all our crime, and less thar one-ffth
of one per cent. is Committed by those
who are educated"
III. A. in New England. so throughout
all the country, from 70 to 90 per cent
have never learned any trade or mastered
any skilled labor; which leads to the con-
%clusion that ''educction in Schools"
III. Not far from 70 pei cent. of New
England crime is committed by persons of
foreign extraction. Therefore 20 per
cent. of the population furnishes 10 per
cent. of the criminals. 1t is noticeable,
however, that the Immigrant coming
hither with education. either il schools or
labor, does not betake himself to crime"
Is. From so to 80 per cent. of cur
criminals connect their career of crime
with intemperance.
V. In all Juvenile reforatories 95 per
cent, of the offenders come from idle,
ignorant. vicious homes. Almost all
children are truant from school at the
time of their commital: and almost all
are children of ignorant parents. These
children furnish the future inmates of our
prisons: for criminals are not madeAin
some malign hour they grow" In the
face of these facts, what can be said but
this: Ignorance breeds crime, education
is the remedy for the crime that imperils
