The Public Schools.

Mr.. EDITOR: In the discharge of my Off
cial duty it has been my privilege to visit a
large number of our public schools. to ex-
anime the pupils, to note the efficiency of
our teachers i'll imparting instruction and
maintaining good order in school,
The wisdom of our State board in selecting
and enforcing the use of uniform Text Book
| is apparent throughout our Schools.
The schools, with few exceptions, are doing
well. The rudiments, as general rule, are
hot as thoroughly taught us they snould be.
invariably call the attention of teachers
to the importance of beginning right and
keeping right. If the foundation is substan-
tial. the superstructurc, well braced, will
stand.
My intercourse with the schools of the
County has been pleasant and improving to
myself, and trust no less so to the teachers
and their pupils. There seems to be more
life pervading the schools than ever before.
Owing in q great measure to tile fact shat
we have n better class of teachers.
Under tho present system. the cxamipa-
ton of the teachers is moro scrutinizing,
hence many who have taught failed to get a
grade certificate.
The boards of trustees have been more
efficient. Many of them have co-operated
with me in visiting and inspecting schools,
thereby rendering valuable aid in this i'm
portant work. Some of the boards in my
opinion have located too many schools. To
make our public school system success,
we must concentrate communities 90 muck
as possible, build good houses and employ
live teachers. and pay them we'll for their
services.
Our school districts should be subdivided
into not more than four parts, some of them
i'll three. Then let the trustees establish q
permanent location in each one OF these di-
visions, build comfortable houses in each,
and there will be no difficulty in securing
good teachers and keeping alive good
schools.
Our schools should be run not less than
eight months each year. This arrangement
may easily be made by a little effort on the
part of the patrons without interfering ma
terially with the agricultural interest OF the
country. Let tho schools open the 18th No
vember and run until the 18th April, which
would give term offive months. Then let
there be another term of thr>. months, en-
bracing July, August, Ser .embcr. The schoo
tax, though it affords val liable aid in edu-
eating the masses, is not sufficient. Those
interested i'll the welfare of their children
must contribute something to keep the
schools alive longer than the public funds
can sustain them. lam gratifed to know that
our people are beginning to SEQ and feel the
importance of this; many of our schools
will be kept open the present year, anu it is
to be regretted the necessity OF any of them

summer, at which meeting questions of i'm

always enjoyed exceptionally good health,
and now stands as erect and steps with as
much life as IL youth Of eighteen.
Nine colored men were committed TO jail
at this place OH last Saturday, under war
rant Of Trial Justice Robinson, of Martin
township, cliarge1 with assault and battery
with Intent 10 kill. From what we have
been enabled to learn Of the case, It appears
to be one of very aggravated character
and the guilty parties, whoever they may
may be, deserve severe punishment. One
night about three weeks ago quiet and
peaceable colored man, and good Demo
crat, residing near the Abbeville line in
Martin township, was taken from his bed
by party of negroes some Of whom were
disguised, and carried some distance from
home into body of woods, tied and gagged,
and then numerically and brutally whipped
with horse whip and withes, on which
were left large knots. No cause is known
for the abuse, except that he saw proper to
differ from his ficpdish prosecutors On polt-
ic,l matters. 1t IL not known positively
that the parties under arrest committed the
crime, but rs suspicion pointed so strongly
to them thoy were taken up, and, in default
of bail, which was fixed at $500, were deliv-
cred mp to Sheriff Mcconnell for safe keep
ing. One Of the parties has since given
bail

How to Secure Now Postal Routes

The Washington correspondent of the
Ncws and Courier, gives us the following
formula of proceeding to obtain new postal
routes
Petitions are being constantly received
here from different points of the State ask
ing for the establishment of new postal
routes. Some of these petitions have wards
Of signature attached, obtained doubtless
with great labor ana trouble, and yet they
are altogether unnecessary. 1t Is q very easy
matter to have new route established be-
tween any two points whenever the neces-
sitics of the community authorize and re-
qulrc 1t. What should be done is briefly
indicated Us follow: Let some responsible
person or persons draw up n petition, ad-
dressed to one of our Congressman asking
that such route be opened. Name the
two points or places at the respective end of
the line. Also, how many postof1iccs are
needed or desired OH the route, the distance
of each such Office Gf any) from the one
immediately before and the one immediate
ly behind it. Give the names of the pro-
posed post masters at all the points, nnd
the name of each proposed post Office. If
the new route lies between two towns which
have post offices already established ge.
the approval ana signatures of the post
master at each such post office. Nothing
more is then necessary to be done besides
forwarding the petition so prepared to one
of the representatives. The post Office de-
partment will investigate the matter
promptly, and will establish the desired
route at once lift is possible to do so. 1t is
not necessary to obtain any number of sig
natures to the petition, as they are never
seen after they leave the hands of the pcti-

Last Saturday Mr.. John Bussius accom- pa
MED by his wife aud four children, embarked
on the steamer Mystic for ride down the river
to Smiths Point. The day passed pleasantly,
but when the signal 10 start for home was
given IL was discovered that one of Mr.. Bus
sius' children little girl only six years old,
was missing. The alarm was given, and scout
ing parties went in search of the lost one, but
10 no avail, as she could not be found.
The steamer waited several hours until the
last party returned, and finally steamed AWAY
for Washington, leaving Mr.. Bussius on the
wharf at the Point" he having declared that
he would not return until the mystery regard
ing the loss of his child WAS solved. Mrs. Bus
sius, with the other children, returned 10 the
city almost distracted, and has been confined
to her bed ever since she was taken home.
Yesterday morning Il card was received from
Mr. Bussus, stating that he had not rs yet
discovered any traces Of his little girl and lC
supposed that size had been drowned. There
are no woods within half mile of Smiths
Point, aud, as there is succession of steep
hills to be climbed In order to reach them, il
is thought that the fathers theory is correct.
The sad affair created intense excitement in
the neighborhood in which the bercaved
parents reside, and there was large party OF
friends at the wharf this morning, waiting fol
tidngs from the father. The Mystic, which
went down the river again yesterday morning,
had not returned at two n. M, 50 the affair is
still cnveloped in mystery.
