Tho State Senate.

The political complexion of the Slate Senate,
says the Charleston News and Courier, will be
considerably changed by the designations which
havc taken place recently. Counting in Whit
temore, the Senate stood: Democrats l6, Re-
publicans 1G, Independent !. The vacancy
made by the resignation of Whittcmore was
filled by the election of Capt Coker, Democrat,
making tho vote stand: Democrats II, Rcpub-
licans Is, Independent /. The heprobablitics are
that Democrats will succeed Nash in Richland
and Maxwell in Marlboro. In that case the
Sennte will consist of 20 Democrats, l3 Repub.
]icans and Independent Tho resignation of
Gaillard and Swails and tho substitution Of
two Democrats, will Civ the Democrats q two
thirds vote in tho Senate this session.

be subordinated to tho loftcr and moro
patriotic object of doing what is best for tho

has been indicted into Office which is obeyod
as tho actual government, regardless of the
grave oyonts which marked its birth, and this
House, animated by spirit of true patriotism,
desiring first tho public tran1uilii...,,, under

To the County School Commissioner of

SIR: Your attention is called to the fact,
that according to law tho school year shall
begin and end las in the opinion of the
County Bonrds of Examiners will best subo
servo the educational interests of their
County; but the County School Commissioner
shall have power to limit tho school year
according to the school fund apportioncd to
his County"
The law authorizing the imposing Of the
District School Tax has been repealed and
the Supreme Court has decided that the pro-
cccds OF the Poll Tax must be applied to the
payment of past due school claims, in accord.
ance with the pre- 'sions Of Act No. 4G5,
approveaaAlarch 8. iS14.
In those counties. therefore, in which there
are still any Of these clnims unpaid there
will be no fund to support the Free Public
Schonls, except that which will be appro~
priatcd by tho Legislature for this purpose
You should caution the Boards of Trustees
in your County to use great care in making
contracts with Toachers in advance Of the
action of the Legislature In those localities
in which the pupils can conveniently attend
school after January lst, it will bo best to
VI tuut tnC SCIVol ICNluIu CiOSCu until tlInt
time; by 80 doing there will be less risk of
incurriHg debts in excess of the appropriation.
This course may produce temporary incon.
vcniencc in some localities. but tcnchcrs aad
pupils will ultimately he benefited by it. The
fret step towards making the Public School
system efficient is to mako the pay of teachers
certain. No effort will be spared during the
next year to advance tho interest Of tho Free
Public Schools, and give 70 all tho youth Of
hn Sknkn t1,o Al.
benefits Of education. In order to effect this
tho active cooperation Of County School
officers is necessary.
In many counties the Boards Of Examiners
have heretofore granted certificates to appli.
cants who have neither tho educational
qualifications nor the moral character ncccs,
sary to fit them for the duties of teachers.
Your atomic. att"i. =: SC earnestly called to this
matter. Examinations ::,ouiu :"cuiu DO conducted
