Educational.

Tho State Superintendent of
Education has issued tho following
circular lettor Of instructions:
OFFICE OF STATE SUPERINTENDENT
OF EDUCATION,
COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec. "a, 1877.
To The Coa'ty Schoo! Commissioner Of Fairfield
to,my
S1R-The following amendment
to the Constitution of this State,
having been ratified, is published
for your information:
"Tho Boards of County Commits
sioners of the several counties shall
levy an annual tax Of not less than
two mills on the dollar upon all the
taxable property in their respective
counties, which lovy shall not be
increased unless by special enact-
,nent of the General Assembly, for
the support Of Public Schools in
their respective counties, which tax
shall be collected at the same time,
and by the same officers, as tho
other taxes for tho same year, and
shall be held i'll tho County Treas
uries of the respective counties, and
paid out exclusively for the support
Of Public Schools, as provided by
law.
"Ehere shall be assessed on all
taxable polls in tho State m annual
tux of ono dollar on each poll, the
proceeds of which tux shall be up
piled solely to educational purposes;
Provided, that nc person shall ever
be deprived of the right Of suffrage
for the non payment of said tax.
No other poll or capitation tax
shall be levied in tho State nor
shall the amount assessed on each
poll exceed the limit given in this
Section. The School Tax shall be
distributed among the several
school districts Of tho counties, in
proportion to the respective nuns
Der of pupils attending the Pnblic
Schools. No religious sect or sects
shall have exclusive right to, or
control of, any part of the School
Fund of the State, nor shall
sectarian principles be taught in
the Public Schools"
would advise that the Free
Public Schools be opened at such
time as will best subserye the edu-

cational interests Of YOU county.
AS soon as possible you should ap-
portion the School Fund among the
several districts In making this
apportionment you should be care-
ful not to exceed the amount which
will probably be collected for this
year. If the income of tho School
Fund should be larger than the
amount estimated, the excess can be
apportioned after the tax is COL
lected.
The Poll Tax will be expended,
as heretofore, in the school districts
in which it is collected. It is sug-
gestod that meeting Of tho Ex-
aminers and Trustees Of your coun>
ty be held as soon as practicable,
and that such regulations be adopt~
cd as will insure tho most economi-
cal management of the Free School
Fund. In the future teachers will
receive their pay regularly, and it
is hoped that in all the counties
| the services of competent persons
will be secured.
1t is not practicable to establish
rate of pay for teachers that can
be adopted in all portions of tho
State, but when good teachers can
be obtained the salaries should bo
as liberal as the School Fund of the
several counties will warrant. It
is not always true economy to
select as teachers those who will
work for the smallest pay.
The law requires that applicants
for tho position of teacher should
be examined as to their qualifica,
tions. These examinations should
be thorough, and I would advise
that they betonducted in writing.
The Boards of Examiners are urged
to grant no certificates except to
persons who, upon careful examina,.
ton, may show proficiency in the
branches of learning in which they
arc to give instruction.
Very respectfully,
HUGu S. THOMPSON,
State Superintendent Education
South Carolina.
Under this the examinations will
be held: It is earnestly hoped that
all who desire to teach will at any
rate come, to Winnsboro on the
first Saturday, so that they can
decide then whether they will stand
an examination or not.

New YORK, Jan. Sat a meeting
of bank presidents, at the clearing
house, to-day, the effect of the silver
bill, now pending in Congress, was
discussed. Resolutions were adopt
ed referring the matter to commit
tee who shall recommend suitable
action to an adjourned meeting on
Wednesday next. Representatives
of "a banks were present. The fol-
lowing are the resolutions adopted:
RESOLVED, That in view Of the bill
now under consideration in Congress,
which proposes in effect to supercede
the existing law requiring the re-
demption of the legal tender notes in
gold coin on and after the first of
January, 1879, by making the. silver
dollar of 4l2A grains the legal stand.
ard for the payment of all debts and
measures of commercial operations
in the United States, it is the duty of
bank officers to seriously inquire
what effect SO important a change in
the circulating medium will have up.
on the conduct of general business
and upon the respective institutions
under their charge, and what practi.
cal measures, if any, can be adopted
to preserve their various trusts from
serious decline, which will inevitably
follow the passage Of the bill in ques.
ton.
RESOLVED, That copy of these res.
olutions be Immediately telegraphed
to the clearing houses Of Boston, Phil
adelphia, and Baltimore, inviting
bank officers there to consider the
same and if practicable to send dele
gates to attend our meeting or
Wednesday next, with view TO mu
tual council and concerted action.
Resolved. That Presidents of Trus
Companies, Savings Banks and Lift
Insurance Companies in this CITY, b'

ing and to participate in its discus
sion,

fire with artillery upon the Cover
nor's house. The Governor upon
making his appearance was knocked
in the head and left insensib!e. He,
however. recovered after, some time
and made his escape. His family al
so escaped, almost naked, to the
woods. The mutineers then released
the convicts and altogether number
ed nearly 200, armed with rifles. The
following day the mutineers commit
ted the most incredible excuses in the
way of wanton killing, burning and
sacking. Next day the mutineers
left the place carrying off all public
funds and much private property.
They burned all the public proper
ty and number of stores, in fact the
best part of the town is in ashes. The
streets were strewn with dead bodies
of the killed. Most of the killed
were soldiers who had been shooting
each other unfortunately. 1t is es.
timated that at least fifty people were
killed. Many dead and wounded
were burned in the building. The
hospital burned with five wounded
men in it.
Commander Rodgers says it was
the intention of the mutineers to cap
ture the steamer Memphis, soon ex.
pected, but as the commander had
previous notice Of the revolt he seized
the soldiers, convicts and captains o,
the port, who rowcd out to hin
suggesting fine anchorage under
guns of the fort. He then went t.
sea and meeting with United State,
steamer, Adams reported the condi
ton ofaffairs. Commodore Rodger
took the mutineers on board of hi
vessel and fastened to Sandy Poin
where his presence was much appre
ciated by the Gillian authorities,

Much is said about the effect in the

Much 10 said about the effect in the
foreign market of silver remonetiza-
ton. A huge bugbear is constantly
paraded to brighten the people that il
will ruin our credit abroad and great
ly depreciate our bonds. The Lon
don Times may be regarded as excel
lent authority upon this subject and
the following telegram of q recent
date giving the views of that journal,
ought to settle the question:
NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-The financial
article in . recent issue of the London
Times points out that the proposition
10 remonetize silver has nothing to do
with projects for unlimited paper is
sues, and says that reputation is a
word that can In no sense strictly ap-
ply to the United States, supposing il
should decree silver as the sole law
fnl money Of tomorrow, and we
doubt whether the bondholders would
lose much by the change. At the
present price of silver, say fifty-five
pence per ounce, the loss to the bond
holder would be much smaller than
is commonly supposed. If paid of
at par In gold in New York, his 81 900
bond would be worth f2O6 As in LON
don, and II paid in silver it would be
v orth fl9l 12s, difference of71s per
cent only, and it is not for moment
10 be supposed that the difference
would remain so great for q single
day were silver again monetized.
We should probably see it at once
jump to fully IS per ounce, at which
spxice the above loss would be nearly
Obifterated.

The London Pail Mall Gazette in
discussing our silver bill takes this
rational view of the question:
Now, if the contemplated monetary
legislation of the United States is in
tended to restore the American silver
dollar from mere money Of account
to its appropriate place in the coinage
this legislation is not only defensible,
but even highly commendable on
many grounds, upon which it is need
less here TO dwell with technical de.
tails. Suffice it that neither domestic
nor foreign creditor would have a
right to complain, inasmuch as the
implied computation Of values in all
contracts where the reverse 10 not ex.
pressly declared Is ab initi0 and as a
matter Of course the silver dollar.
The Treasury being unable to use
both precious metals concurrently and
as might be found most convenient,
the enormous transactions consequent
upon the resumption Of specie pay.
ment by so great commercial com.
munity would undoubtedly 60 far to-
wards readjusting the proper rela.
tons between gold and silver, which
have lately been so unaccountably
perturbed, to the prejudice of the lat.
ter metal. The public at large and
the worlds commerce could not be
otherwise than benefited by such q
resdjustment, and the loss, if any,
would fall upon certain rings OF spec.
ulators.
