of basket holding people about the CON-
missary department awaken in the writer's
memory the days following the capture
of the city of Savannah, when the peo-
pie of starved town, many of the mem
bers of the families of the first social
position, went daily to take their place
in q long line and draw the rations which
the generous people of the cities of the
North had sent in great ship loads to the
suffering Southern port. Here the crowd
is made up of negroes, who sit on the
curbing, sit on the pavement of the street
beyond the railing of the commissary
depot, and, clutching their baskets and
the orders from ward committees, watch
intently the large door and listen long in
vain to hear their own names pronounced
by the black crier, mounted on the box
upon the windows ledge. The crowd is
four or five hundred in number during
the livelong day. The system of giving
rations, as worked by the relief commit
tee, is as cautious, as proof against i'm
position, probably, as it is possible to
make it. All applications of the needy
are made to ward committeeman, whose
duty it is to look into the justice of the
claims made to them, and then to give a
draft on Commissary Maccabe for the
number of rations and the number of
days. This draft is presented, and the
holders name and time for drawing and
number of rations are entered in large
indexed book. From this book they are
fed in turn as long as their drafts call for.
Over 10000 rations have been issued so
far, and the demand is increasing daily
in proportion to the rapidly growing want
and utter destitution among the colored
people. The books of the commissary
are admirably kept, showing every ounce
of food received through any source, and
showing clearly its disposition.

Mr.. Hayes as a Financier.
ST. PAUL, September 5

ST. PAUL, September 5.
The President was enthusiastically re-
ceived this morning, and the city is in
holiday attire in his honor. The Presi-
dent breakfasted with Governor Ramsay.
This afternoon he was introduced to the
citizens at the Fair grounds, and after
acknowledging the kindness of his recep-
ton, made speech upon public affairs
with reference generally to the financial
condition and the public debt, of which
the President said more than one-fourth
has been paid off in thirteen years, and
it is demonstrated, he said, that the
United States can and will pay the ma
tional debt. Since the panic of FIVE years
ago there has been great change in the
condition of the debt. The change has
been one of improvement. First, the
debt has been greatly reduced; second,
the interest to be paid has been largely
diminished, and third. it is to be paid at
home instead of abroad. Further on the
President said that coin and paper are
practically abreast Of each other. The
huctuation in the value of the paper dol
lar has not in the last five months ex-
ceeded the fraction of q cent. The total
increase in the coin value of our paper
currency since 1865 is about Sl75, 00O, 600.
Nothing connected with the financial
affairs Of the government is more inter-
,esting and instructive than the state OF
trade with foreign countries. Exports
from the United States during the year
ending June 80, 1873, were larger than
during any previous year in the history
Of the country. From the year 1863 to
1873 the net imports into the United
States largely exceeded the exports from
rhe United States, the excess Of imports
ranging from S99,000,OOO to S1S2, 100000.
During the years IA and rs exports and
imports were about equal, aud during the
years ending June 80, 1876, III, rs, the
domestic exports from the United States
greatly exceeded the net imports-the
excess of exports increasing rapidly from
year to year.
Concluding, the President said: "With
diminished and still diminishing public
burdens of debt, expenditures and in
| terest, with an improved condition Of
currency and foreign trade, we may well
hope that we are on the threshold ot
better times. But we must not forget
that the surest foundation of restored
financial prosperity is sound constitu.
tional currency and unstained national
credit"

WHAT A GREENBAcK Is.-The fol-
lowing is an extract of speech made by
Mr.. Chase soon after the termination of
the war:
"What is greenback? Why, it is
simply the credit of the great Ameri-
can people put in the form of money to
circulate among the very people whose
credit makes it worth anything. When
1 was Secretary of the Treasury the
question arose, how should these armies
and nayies be supplied? :? How should
the boys in the field be fed, the sailors
in the ships, and provisions made for
their support, their clothing, their food,
and their transportation? found that
the banks of the country had suspended
specie payment. What was 1 to do?
The bauks wanted me to borrow their
credit or pay them interest in gold on
their credit. They did not pay any gold
or propose to pay any themselves, but
they wanted me TO buy their notes. I
said no, gentlemen, this great American
people is worth all Of you put together,
and will take the credit of the people
and cut it up in the little bits of paper.
1t is the credit and the property of the
American people, made to serve the pur-
pose of money in the midst of great
strife when we must have everything we
can get"

circuit, writing from Abbeville, on Au.

Circuit, writing from Abbeville, on Au.
gust Is, says:
When I entered the solicitors Office oi
this Circuit, January, 1877, the criminal
calendars were heavy, owing mainly to
the fact that the Courts of Session were
almost suspended during the campaign
of 1876, which was heated one in this
Circuit, and out of which grew many acts
of petty violence.
During the present year the diminu-
ton has been very marked. Two terms
of the court have been held already.
The summer term began at Abbeville in
June, where there were two cases for
trial, both of petty character. Two at
Anderson, one for homicide, and all the
parties concerned were colored. No case
at all at Walhalla. Two at Pickens,
both small and mean, and less than the
usual number at Greenville, and not one
of any magnitude.
The administration of the criminal law
has been perfectly impartial, and in
proof of it the following interesting fact
is stated:
Judge Mackey held the first terms of
the Court for this year upon this Circuit.
There were several cases of criminals for
trial, among them four at different points
upon the Circuit, which presented all the
possible race combinations, viz: A white
man for killing a white man; white
man. for killing a negro; negro for
killing negro, and a negro for killing q
white man. The only acquittal was in
the case of the negro for killing the ne:
gro. The others were all convicted
either of murder or manslaughter.
S6far as know the only crimes conf
mitted by white men against negroes
have been those of manslaughter, tres
pass, and assault and battery. The cases
of burglary, arson, larceny, rape, bigamy,
forgery and the like committed by COL
ored persons have been against white
men and against persons of their own
color--wherever white men have COM
mitted any of these crimes, the offences
have been against white persons alone.

TEXT BOOKS FOR THE SCHOOLS.
Action of the State Board of Examiners

The State Board of Examiners, at a
recent meeting in Columbia, decided
upon and announced the following selec-
ton of text books to be used in the pub
lie schools of this State:
REYNOLDS series of Readers.
Appleton's series of Readers.
Davidson's History Of South Carolina.
Swinton's Primary History Of the Uni
ted States.
Swinton's condensed History of the
United States.
Swinton's Outlines of Universal His
tory.
Holmes History of the United States.
Cornell's First Steps in Geography.
Cornell's Primary Geography.
Cornell's intermediate Geography.
Maury's Manual.
Maury's Physical Geography.
Robinson's Arithmetics.
Sanford's Arithmetics.
Quackenbos' First Lessons in English
Grammar.
Quackenbos' English Grammar.
Quackenbos' illustrated Lessons in
Our Language.
Quackenbos' First Lessons in Compo-
sition.
Quackenbos' Course of Composition
and Rhetoric.
Webster's Dictionaries.
Appleton's Series of Copy-Books.
Reynolds Series of Copy-Books.
Swinton's Word Primer.
Swinton's Word Book.
Swinton's Word Analysis.
Westlake's 5000 Practice Words.
The gentlemen composing the board
have given the subject of their duties
the most careful and conscientious cun-
sideration for several weeks past, and
only reached their conclusions after pa
tient discussion and the fullest compari-
SONS of opinions.
The somewhat divergent claims and
interests of city and country schools re-
quired to be reconciled in some instan-
ces, and this fact led the board to adopt
alternate series in some cases, as in the
particular instances of Cornell's and
Maury's biographies. 1t is expected
that Cornell's will be generally used in
the common country schools, while the
more advanced pupils in the city schools
and in the country schools where desira-
BILE may have their studies continued into
Maury's manuals.
The preference was given to Webster's
Dictionaries for the sufficient reason that
very large majority of the schools were
already and fully supplied with the series,
and change would have involved addi-
tional and needless expense not compen-
sated by any other consideration.
Walker, Evans & Cogswell, of Charles.

Reynolds Southern Reader and Copy
Books, and will hereafter publish and
\ push them.

Remarkable Echoes.

In the sepulchre of Metalla, the wife
of Sulla, in the Roman Campagna, there
is an echo which repeats five times, in
FIVE different keys, and will also give
back with distinctness a hexameter line
which requires two and a half seconds
to utter it. On the bank of the Naha,
between Bingen and Coblentz, an echo
repeats seventeen times. The speaker
may scarcely be heard, and yet the re-
sponses are loud and distinct, sometimes
appearing to approach, at other times to
come from a greater distance. Echoes
equally beautiful and romantic are to be
heard in Scotland. In the cemetery of
the Abercorn family, at Paisley, when
the door of the chapel is shut, the rever-
beratiops are equal to thunder. If asin-
gle note of music is breathed, the tone as
cends gradually with a multitude of
echoes, till it dies in soft and bewitching
murmurs. In this chapel is inferred
Margery, the daughter of Bruce, and the
wife of William Wallace. The echo at
the eagles Nest" on the banks of Kill
larney, is renowned for its effective re-
petitions of bugle call, which seems to
be repeated by hundred instruments
until it gradually dies away in the air.
At the report of cannon the loudest
thunder reyerberates from the rock, and
dies in seemingly endless peals along
the distant mountains. At the castle of
Simonetta, nobleman's seat about two
miles from Milan, a surprising echo is
produced between the two wings Of the
building. The report of pistol is re-
peated sixty times; and Addison, who
visited the place on somewhat foggy
day, when the air was unfavorable to the
experiment, counted fifty-six repetitions.
At first they were very quick, but the
intervals we're greater in proportion as
the sound decayed. 1t is asserted that
the sound of one musical instrum ent in
this place resembles great number OF
musical instruments playing in concert.
The echo is occasioned by the existence
of two parallel walls of considerable
length, between which the ware of
sound is reverberated from one 70 the
other until it is entirely spent.

GOVERNMENT AID FOR THE DEsTI-
TUTE.-A telegram from Washington,
under date of September 8, says: The
Secretary of War to-day responded TO
the call for relief from the Federal Off
GERS in New Orleans, by ordering rations
for twenty days to be issued to 1000 of
the suffering poor of that city. If there
is not sufficient rations there for that
purpose, special train with such sup
plies will be sent from Chicago. While
the Secretary, in responding to the ap-
peal, acts under the law of charity alone,
he has no doubt that his act will meet
with the full approval of Congress.
This relief to New Orleans and that
heretofore to Memphis are, as he said
this morning, exceptional cases, justified,
it seemed, by the strongest appeals OF
humanity for all possible relief in the
plaguc-slricken locality; and as the gov
ernment cannot be depended on for con-
tinued supplies, he expressed the hope
that private charity would continue to be
exerted in that direction.
