Our Public School System.

(Ordn8eohf0 1tHeS.J
An address delivered at Abbev1lle by Mr..
". C. Benet on the above subject has excited
considerable comment on account OF It's orig
inulity~ independence and power: =.
He reviews very frankly the defects as well
as the advantages Of the system.
He cspouses the unpopular side Of the ques.
ton with a boldness and independence rare
iy witnessed in these days CT cringing to pop
ular opinion.
School system is the difficulty of raising an
ADEQUATE sum to carry out the scheme, unless
the plan Of Mr.. Benet is adopted OF applying
the public money only to those who are una
BILE TO pay.
Additional taxation would meet with much
opposition. and the application Of the fund to
the poor alone Is open to objections.
It Is a matter for our LEGISLATORS to consider.
and we hope they will continue to trim the
lamp OF knowledge, until it shall shine In
our midst with q clear and steady light.

Mr.. Benet's Speech.
[Bar7,WeN People.]

We thank the Nesns and Courier for giving
such publicity to Mr.. Benet's speech before
the Abbeville Teachers Association. It can
not be too thoroughly impressed upon our
people that the idea that the schools are free
"has acteS like dry rot against our ttme-hon-
ored academies and high schools and destroy
ed ner. cly all OF them" Free schools In South
Carolina mean poorly paid and therefore In
fe-ior ~tuition-and concomitant Ignorance.
rney have taught our once independent and
liberal minded people to avail themselves OF
pauper's privilege, and TO indulge the fallacy
hat the taxpayers. because he pays q mfsera.
BILE ~pittance towards educational purposes Is
entitled to have his children educated at the
public expense and to delegate his parental
o ,ersight OF bis obildren's training to a sala-
ri d commissioner and halfstarve0 teacher.

The Court

The Judge and everybody else connect
ed with the Court have worked hard for
the past week, and a reasonable amount
of work has been done. At this Term
we have been afflicted with an unusually
large number of triaing cases, some of
which should never have been brought
into Court. Several cases Of this charac-
ter have commanded the best legal talent
and consumed much of the valuabletim
of tho Court. For instance, there was
the case of the State against Nick ettrick,
indicted for assault and battery on his
wife. Some of the evidence in this case
was Of a voluntary and disgusting nature
that did little to eel conviction in a
case unworthy of tho attention of the
Court. The jury could not do otherwise
than convict, but they very properly rec
commended the prisoner to the mercy OF
the Court.
Another case which occupied the time
of the Court for a whole day was q suit
by Simmons against William Robertson
for Islander. The defendant was sued for
s 1000 damages. Thejury raced the claim
and gave q verdict for $40 against Robert
son. Robertson was much dissatisfied
with the verdict and urged his counsel to
give notice of appeal.
The case of Cater against Bottsin a suit
for damages for loss of time and doctors
bill, incurred in consequence Of injuries
received in a difficulty several months
ago, occupied the Court for half a day.
The jury gave a verdict for defendant.
The case of Martin against Mr.. Wash
ington Prince and George Washington,
colored, for damages sustained by illegal
detention Of stock resulted in verdict for
defendant Prince, and as against George
Washington in o verdict for the plaintiff
with damages, fifty cents, the damages
claimed being $l25.o0.
The Judge in sentencing Tom Black
we'll and Oscar Jones to the penitentiary
last Wednesday, made some remarks as
to bis rule in Furnishing crime. For
stealing money he inflicted a much light
er punishment than for stealing bread
and meat, but for stealing crops from
the field he inflicted double the pun
ishment that he did for stealing any
thing that could be better guarded. The
crops were exposed and could not be
protected, and hence the necessity for
more severe punishment for interfering
with this kind of property. The courts
were determined to break up this kind
of law-breaking, and would infict severe
punishment in cases of this nature.

SYMPTOMS Of Diseased Liver.

Symptoms of Diseased Liver.
DAM in the right side, under the
| edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side;. the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss Of appe.
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen.
eral are costivc, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of mem
DRY, accompanied with a painful SEN
sation Of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer.
else would be beneficial to him, YET
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he d~istrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex.
isted, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
