The immediate ACKNOWLEDGMENT of

Ottoman Empire will be locked up
within the Roumeian peninsula,
and, if the Turks are permitted to
Stay there at all, they will exist only
as the later Greek Empire did, a city
confined within its walls, and no.
more. Russia will claim Batoum
and hars at least, if not more. Ser.
via will haYe her territory enlarged,
so will Roumania and Montenegro.
Greece is already attempting 10 Sc
cure the annexation Of Epirus and.
ThCssaIy. Albania is in the market
Bulgaria will be given its indepen-
dence, and probably RnumeIia also.
The prOtectOrate of Russia will be
extended over 20,000, 900 of Greek
Christians in Europe and Asia, and

The New York Herald c1lls atten-
ton to the manifest failure of the
Democracy to celebrate the anniver-
sary Of the battle Of New Orleans,
which used to be celebrated all over
the country by the Democratic party,
as a sort of national festival, second in
Importance only to the Fourth of
July. Modern Democracy, however,
seems to be ashamed of Jackson. and
there can be little doubt that Jack
son, if he were alive, would be asham>
ed of it.

upon their Clerk, who, would have
to be compensated. So that, again,
we have additional expense, and il
not new officer. a new function for
an old officer. Another and last OBJ
lection to GOV. Carroll's plan is that
it would remedy oAly one of the
evils, of the present system of hay
ing the school boards in the counties
appointed by Judges. Al the others,
and they are many, but not nOW to
lie touched upon, would remain as
before.
The remedy by DE-, Steiner, who is
one o. the most intelligent statesmen
we have in our pub IL councils, and Il
gentleman who has, made the subject
Of public schools, both in tn ir meth
DDS and their administration his
study for many years, j. that the
choosing OF the local school officers
should be given to the people OF The
several counties, and thus make them
directly responsible to the people.
/ This would he in c0nsOnanCe with
! American principles and democratic
custom. All bodies of men who have

whose money they spend. If this
4 method of selecting school boards
should be adopted, error. of admins
ltlatiOn of every Kind might be cor
rertcal. and the accounts Of one board
/ would be audited by its successor. 1t
is thus with our boards of Com
missionerS. IfOne board goes wrong,

takes before they become gross or OPP,
pressive. There are many arguments
i'll favor of this ,lan, which, if we
/ thought the people Of the county
were sufficiently interested in the ad-
minstration Of their school affairs to
consider with patience, we might
adduce but it is one OF the evils OF
the present system of appointing
school officers that in taking from the
people all control Of their schools, it
has destroyed alt interest in their
management. We will not say in

TRUE SENTIMENT IN THE SOUTu.
The Charleston, S. c., chamber of
commerce has adopted Il series of adj
mirable resolutions on the pending
national financial issues. The reso-
buttons declare that, without being
responsible for the national monetary
experiments and financial legislation,
the South was the first section that
felt the depre 5sion and shrinkage by
the laws now in force, and having al
ready experienced the full effects Of
resumption in accepting specie prices
for her products without getting spe-
Gle value in return, she now needs
stability and tranquility in financial
matters, In order that her industries
may revive and that her resources
may be developed. This stability
they further declare, is unobtainahle
without resumption, and fnseparable
from the maintenance of national,
commercial and personal honor and
it cannot possibly he honest for the
government, after what has passed,
to pay its notes or bonds in anything
but gold, and it is shameful to per-
nit or to encourage by national leg
i5lation the payment of public, cor
porate and private debts in a debased
coinage specially and avow eddy
created for the purpose.

The recent report of NJ. A. Newell
uperintendent of Schools in this
State, submitted to the Legislature,
will. we take it, prove to be very
original reading for our School Com
IA ifffHi99pysagEsi .,a as well as some others +,
the synopsis as published in the Bal
timore San of the 18th will certainly
open their eyes to some facts of which
they seem to have been entirely TO-
norant, and add to the weight and
emphasis of the call that is now re-
newed, that men who have either
been so ignorant or so Indifferent to
, the provisians of the Law under
which they hold Office, shall vacate
their places in order that men may be
appointed VINO, at least, shall take
interest enough to inform themselves
as to their duties and obligations, as
we'll as the amount of their pay.
Our Commissioners will not GER
tainly have the "cheek" to say that
they purposely disregarded the plain
provision of the law, and yet it can
rot be questioned for one moment
that they did just that thing, or they
were grossly ignorant of it's plain
provisions. This will appear more
clearly by comparing their ''doings"
and see how they "square" with what
they had fright" to do "un,ter the
tdaO." The Examiner had no right
to epter into any other business or
pursuit of any kind. His duty was
TO devote his whole time to the du-
ties of the place. Now it is notori-
Gus that he did not spend one tenth
of his time at Oakland, which is the
legal headquarters Of the Board. He
had no right to transact any of the
business outside of the place of bust
ness of the Board. One thing the
examiner did do with unfailing reg
ularity and promptitude and that
was with the conniyance and appro-
baton of the Board drew his nav.
AS to the business of the Board, that
was "tOted" round in his nat, and he
issued notes, checks, certificates and
any other evidence of Indebtedness
as the fancy suited him. any where
along the highways and byeways of
our county. VINO will contradict for
one moment that had these Commits
sioners compelled strict compliance
with his duties the confusion of ae-
counts the increase of indebt-
edness could have taken place?
Who will assert that had any
of the Commissioners been solicit
tOus as to the credit of the coun.
ty, the burdens of tax payers, the
rights of the people, that any Exam
liner could have drawn full salary
for so small and Indifferent services?
He could, or he would if he had been
20 required, have kept the record Of
the Boards transactions correctly, its
finances in business shape, and when
this was done he certainly could have
performed services as teacher, either
in Oakland CIR EVANSVILLE, and so
