The Malcontents.
EDITOR REPUBLICaS-lt Is not our province to
indulge in criticisms, nor do we feel author
lied to censure the action of men, simply he
cause their views do not harmonic with our
own in matters either spiritual or temporal.
Men have Il right, and it is cmncntly propcr
that they should assemble for the purpose OF y
free and uninterrupted exchange of views and
opinions which may he OF private or public ben
cit. They have II right 10 recommend what
they conceive t. be right, 10 the best interests of
community, and TO condemn that which III
their judgment seems TO be erroneous. Men
thus actuated from pure and unSclish motives
deserve not only the esteem and encouragement,
but the support and influence OF their bencflc-
tors. But unfortunately there is Il class of
men in nearly every community who are not
only dissatisfied themselves with the action of
their fellow-men, but who continually seek 10
make others dissatisfied, simply becaIsc their
wishes are not consulted, their c0unsels sough,
after, or themselves pccuniarily benefited by
such actjon. such persons are generally We'll
known in the community where they reside, and
whenever they take 4 conspicuous part in any
movement, their action is looked upon suspi
ciorsly, their words inteiligrnily construed.
To an unprejuiiccd mind, the remarks and
feelings exhibited 10y D.. Gardner and ex-Judgc
McI-lin, on saturday evening last portrayed not
so great an interest il the welfare of the tax
payers of the Savannah school district, rs that
the whims and capriccs of the one had been
wholly ignored, that he could neither control
the action of the present School Board, nor gov
Ia.
OF this scloo-in the otner that the Treasurer of
said Board hal f:.ile'l 10 deposit certain school
monies in the Savannah Savings Institution; for,
indeed, the expenditures complained of, COM
pared with those suggested by these educators,
are infinitely too small To rccnnpr!.st them Tor
