Education.

In no respect possibly have the Radicals
shown more plainly their wmnton, wilfill
disregard of the best interests Of the people
thar they have in the matter Of education.
Il is clearly one Of the first duties Of i
State, if it would BIC prosperous and happy,
to educate its children. No political party,
therefore, having control Of the Govern
ment to such IN extent as 10 shape It's ac-
ton, can be held bilneless if the children
Of the State, especially and particularly the
poor children Of the State, do not have
placed within their reach facilities for &C
curing at least those ordinary branches Of
education that Il citizen must possess to
enable him to transact the everyday bust
ness affairs of life.
Let US apply this test 70 the
Radical party since it came into
power in April, 1865. From that time I'M
til 1st October, the beginning Of the next
Fiscal year, there was not dollar spent
for teaching unless $50 paid to Ashley for
services. Of clerk can be SO considered.
During the Fiscal year, beginning on the
1st October, 1868, there was spent out of
the Educational Fund $1G1156 IS. Not
one dollar Of this large amount was spent
in teaching the poor children OF North
Carolina to read or write. Instead Of that
the Radical Legislature took $15S, 900 ofthat
amount and paid in part to themselves I'M
der the name Of per diam at the rate of
seven dollars day. For this and other
purposes, equally opposed to The advance
ment of the cause Of education, we say, the
Radical Legislature used $15S,00 Three
thousand dollars OF the money was cleaned"
to the University to pay the salaries of
Professors, such rs Ashley's brothcr-in-law,
Professor Martling, so-calIeu; Settles cous-
in, Professor Patrick, the Banjo Player );
John POOLS brother, President Sol Pool );
and Dickson, the Professor Of Agriculture,
who, III making contracts for clearing the
College lands, it is said, specially reserved
TO the College, cut all Of the hickory and
tall gum trees because ''they would split so
easy and make such elegant rails" and
Dickson was about the best man i'll the lot!
The balance of the amount, SG,15S Is, is
put down to what is called the & expense
account" In this account we find that
one j. W. Hood, a negro preacher, was
paid 1929 as salary as Agent of the Board
Of Education. lie made a report declaring
that the whites had burned the school
houses of the blacks and were interfering
with their education. This report is a
part of the work that this negro preacher
Hood was paid s925 for in the year 1868.
Not dollar Of this large sum of $IG7-
15S Is was spent in teaching children to
read or write. We get these figures from
the Radical Auditors official report.
During the Fiscal year beginning 1st DC
tober, 1869, there was spent out of the
Educational Fund the sum of sos, All o.,
which was expended as fellows:
