is simply wasted. At least this is
our opinion. We think that 5000
would amply pay for al work actually nee
essNry in connection with this Office, thereby
leaving $500 in favor Of tho schools. This
$500 thus saved would keep ono hun.
drcd children in school four months
One more remark and I hnvo done. Our
Board of Examiners need more prompt rules
III regard to teachers coming forward to be
examined. Last October the Board gayo
notice that the School Commissioners Office
would bc open from October tho 18th to OctoS
Der 24th for tho purpose Of examining tcacho
ore, being timo sufficient to examine every
teacher in Oconee and Pckons. About ono
third OF tho feathers camo forward. Since
that time the Commissioner has bccn in at-
tendance at his Office; havo been in tho
Office several times recently, and frequently
find only one teacher undergoing an cxamis
nation. Tho Commissioner spends tho day
with this solitary teacher and few days
after this tho Board will meet and pass on
tho examination, thus requiring two days
a,tcndaDcc by the School Commissioner at
three dollars per day, costing six dollars to
examine ono teacher.
If VIC had sufficient school funds to run
our schools ten months would not object to
paying 5000 to or Commissioner. This year
VIC will have lcsa funds than any year since
the introduction Of the present system of
free schools. Therefore do think our school
fund should be economically spent, and trust
that our school officers will give this subject
due consideration.
In my next article l will tell you somc-
thing about the progress VIC arc making in
education in our free schools. f..

Tho Crisis in Maine.

Matters in Maine arc not improving, and
the unsettled and threatening aspect Of affairs
causes serious apprehension in official circles.
The Republicans propose to test tho legality
Of the organization Of tho House, and bring
the matter before the Supreme Court, by an
injunction to prcTcnt tho State Treasurer
from paying the mileage and salaries Of tho
members. Startling developments arc cx.
pccod when the bribery committee gets to
work. AS matters advance, tho feeling of
doubt and diStrust seems u increase rather
than diminish. No regular call has been
made for troops, but the militury power is
becoming unusually conspicuous General
Chamberlain is i'll constant consultation with
the civil authorities. Every one seems to &c
preparing for y collision which may happen
ut any moment. The politicians arc reported
rs being somewhat nervous, and The Fusonists
arc decidedly panicky. They arc anticipat-
ing struggle for the possession of tho State
llonse, and I'LL are eager Tor Tie prominent
bribery revelations, which it is hoped will
change tho threatening aspect Of affairs.
Cen Chamberlain has issued general order
stating that, in view of the extraordinary
situation now presented 1T tho scat Of govern.
mcnt. he would assume command and protect
the public property and institutions Of the
State in trust for the people until the Governs
or's successor has been legally elected and
Installed. BY this order, Gen. Chamberlain
assumes, temporarily the oilicc Of Governor
and COMMANDMENTS Chi1f.

The Columbia Canal.

Wo had tho pleasure on yesterday Of in
spectipg some elegant mups aud drawings
of tho Columbia canal, which were mado
and exhibited by Mr.. d. NJ. Thompson,
of tho well known engineering firm and
manufacturers of Thompson e. Naglc, of
Providence, II. l., to whom wo arc also iu-
debtcd for lucid and extended explanation
of the purposes and views of tho company
he represents, aud known as tho Columbia
and Lexington Water Power Company. BY
recent act of the South Carolina Legislature,
as wo understand it, these gentlemen, for a
nominal consideration, have become pos
sesscd of all that magnificent water power
in Columbia on tho CoDgarco River, aud
known as the Columbia canal. It is pro
posed to build factory of 10000 spindlcs,
which will be, no doubt, the entering wedge
to tho utilizing of all the vast amount of
power now idle, and which only needs cap
ital to make it as good paying property as
any IN the world. The canal will be five
miles loug and 200 feet wide, and will be
$1,000 horse power when completed, which
will be in about two years. MIR. Thompson
is very enthusiastic OH the subject, and an
indctatigabic worker. lie says when it is
