Special Correspondence OF the Register.
CHARLESTON, Nov. so, 1873.

As the session draws TO a close, con-
siderable talk occurs concerning the
Normal Schools, and appropriations to
carry them on. Patronizing as the Re-
publicans were when in power 10 those
institutions, they are now the greatest
enemies they have, and this enmity
arises mainly from the disposition TO OPP
pose the Democracy that now rules the
State, and eugender an hatred to the
schools themselves. The only real op-
position to the Normal Schools comes
from the Republicans, headed by
Col. Spates, Of Harrison, and men of
his ilk. II they can succeed in induc-
ing enough Democrats TO join them in
abolisbiDg these institutions, they will

The boy took the penny and
said:
