TIE message of Governor Moses,
of South Carolina, which was read
before the Assembly last week, is not
a very cheering or encouraging doc
ument. The bonded debt of the
State is SIS, s2I,627, concerning
which the Governor says: The pub
lie funded debt of South Carolina
stands as the opprobrium- OF the
State, and the dishOnoring symbol of
its wholly violated faith to its cred
itors. Having discharged my duty
in the premises, | confide the matter
to your honorable bodies, who alone
possess the power to act autllorita-
lively. In addition to this, the
Treasurer report shows a deficiency
for the last fiscal year of $54O.328.
The next important feature Of the
report. concerns the educational con
dition of the State, which is almost
as gloomy as the financial showing.
The Governor has prepared a series
of statistical tables. showing that
the total school population of the
State is. 230,1O2, of which 84,975 are
whites and 145.l37 colored. The
total school attendance is SO, 758, Of
which 37.2lS are whites and 1856
colored; from which it would appear
that only about one third of the chill
dren of the State are availing. them
selves of the means OF education.
Notwithstanding the compulsory at-
tendance required by the State Con-
stitution.

THE LNSANE ASYLUM

The commissioners appointed by
the Governor to select a site and
build hospital for the insane. to be
located on a railroad somewhere in
East Tennessee, have held q confer
ence at Knoxville and issued invita-
tions for proposals for a site for the
hospital. They solicit propositions
from those who may wish to donate
a suitable site, and in view of the
fact that such donations may not, in
their Judgment, be suitable for the
purpose, they also solicit proposals
to sell.
We have already published the
act of the Legislature granting an
appropriation for the asylum OF
$4,000. and authorizing the appoint
ment of the Commissioners. The
law provides that the Commissioners
shall select and purchase within
twelve months after the date of APP
pointment, farm of not less than
three hundred acres, tillable land,
well supplied with water, and large
facilities for drainage from the hos
pital site. The property must be
within convenient distance of city
or town, and of easy access by rail
road. Other things be equal. pref
erence shall be given in location to
any community or county that will
present a suitable farm. This leaves
the site to be determined by the lib
erality of the several competing
communities and we have an ahid-
ing faith that no community in East
Tennessee will be found more alive
to its interest in the matter Of the
location than that of Morristown.
If our people desire the location of
the Institution in their vicinity, let
them go to work to accomplish it.
Seventy-five thousand dollars will
INSURE a splendid building-and the
building isn't all it will secure by q
long ways.

SALE OF THE r. & J.. ROAD.


At meeting of the Directors of
the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad Co, at the Com
pany's office, at Knoxville, Friday,
December 10Th, a sale Of the Rog-
ersvile and Jefferson Railroad, in,
Guiding material, franchises, roll
Ting stock, etc, etc, was con
summated, Mai. w. 2. Elliott becom-
ing the purchaser-the consideration
being $4,000. Maj. Elliott at once
assumed control of the road, and it
is now being run uTFeler his manage
ment.
The bridge over the Hofston, three
and half miles from Rogersvile,
having been pronounced unsafe, by
competent engineers, no trains will
be run over it for the present; but,
we understand, it is the intention to
arrange at once for the carrying of
passengers and rreights from the
river to Rogersville by means Of
horse cars. so that no interruption
to business on the road will be occa-
stoned by the condition of the bridge
tits understood that, as soon as the
condition Of the river will permit, q
new bridge will be erected g.
without knowing exactly what the
intention Of the purchaser, or new
combination is. it is understood that
he expects to change the road to a
narrow guagc and extend it to Kings
port, or some other objective point
above RogersviIIe. The associates
of Mai. Elliott in this enterprise, we
learn, is not definitely settled, but
we hear that several successful rail
road parties will perhaps be inter
ested in the road.
We heartily wish the new eombi-
nation, SO far as their design is for
the development of the mineral re-
sources and agricultural riches OF
Hawkins and the adjacent counties,
the full realization of their scheme.

REAGAN HIGH SCHOOL

We wish TO call the attention of
the public to this educational enter
prise. SO far as we are aware there
is no other cast of the Cumberland
mountains upon precisely the same
basis. 1t is sustained by no endow-
ment, it is controlled by no board Of
trustees, it shelters under Che wing
of no denomination. It's faculty
know well that if it is permanent
success, it must be 80 upon its merits
only, hence they cannot afford to
be inactive and feel that all will be
we'll they are compelled to be I'M
firing, progressive.
To the honor of several of the
States, high schools have. been in
existence within their borders for
many years, and some Of them have
made national reputation. The re-
suit is seen in the improved charac-
ter of the citizens of these States,
and i'll the general prosperity result
ing therCfrom. But in this State, for
some reason, most likely because we
have been satisfied with inferior in
struction, no high school of particu-
lar rank has ever existed. a Who can
point to such school in Tennessee
as the Norwood School of Virginia,
or the Bingham School of North
Carolina? 1t is such q school US
these that Reagan High School as
pires to be, one that will be an orna-
ment to the community, to the Com
monwealth. While it is, by no
means, antagOnistic to public schools,
it's principals have wisely refused to
combine it with the public school of
our town, or put it upon basis that
would secure the Peabody fund.
The collapse of many other schools
that have made such combinations,
furnish positive evidence of the truth
Of this assertion. Many young men
have gone forth, and will 90 forth.
from Reagan High School to assist
in carrying forward its system of
public instruction.
The aim of Messrs. wilson and
Carriger is, we are persuaded, to
give practical education, to impress
upon their students the necessity OF
seeking the reason for things; to
equip them with such habits OF
thought as will insure success in
every department of human effort.
Not only this, hut they strive to
acquaint their pupils with the habits,
thoughts, and noble achievements in
art and literature. of the greatest
and most cultivated nations beyond
the Christian era. to give them an
insight into the sacrifices and ex-
PLOTS of these same nations while
fighting the battles of liberty for the
human race. In short, they ,endeav-
or. by every possible means, to sub
stitute for the lower pleasures that
too generally sway the soul, noble
sentiments, mobile aspirations which,
ever result in q noble life.
