IMPORTANT TO SCHOOL DI-
 RECTORS.

It is not generally known that the legislature changed the time of hold ing the annual school meetings in the several school districts in this State from the third Saturday in August to the third Saturday in May, yet such is the case. The Gazette of the 9th inst, referring to the change, says:
 The legislature changed the tune of holding the annual school meeting from the third Saturday in August to the third Saturday in May. This change was made to have the school law fit the revenue law, but the rev enue bill was vetoed, and now the superintendent IS obliged to give notice of the change. It $ consider able of task to notify each school director. There are 2700 2S00 school districts in the state, and about 5000 school directors. The school tax is to be voted at the an. nual meeting, and three directors to be elected in each district.
 Elsewhere we publish the new law for the information of all concerned.

There is g strong probability that the next session of Congress will infict upon .he country some Of that pernicious partisan legislation for which the Republican party is noted, through the trsachery and in fidelity of one man. By the action of Malone the liliputian Senator from Virginia. the Senate is repub- lican body. Senator Malone has tried very hard to explain and justi- fy his position. but all his fine spun theories will not destroy or disguise the simple facts that he has hereto fore been 8 democrat; that he was elected to the Senate by democrat lc legislature to represent s demo cratic State, aud that his acton with the Republicans is nothing more nor less than wanton betrayal of the confidence Of his constituency. Neither does his denial of having re- ceIved any improper consideration" explain the hearty applause which has greeted his utterances from his republican aliys, or the fact that they are now co.persting with him n placing his friends in office.

Up to the hour Of going to press the United States senate has done nothing. Startling as this may seem it is nevertheless true, and history we feel sure will record the fact with trembling hand. The deadlock still continues, and the names of two hundred republicans are lyIng on the senate table waiting for confirm, ation to all sorts of offices ranging from foreign missions to postmaster ships. Their hopes and fears are ignored, while MahoDe's friend Rid dleberger blocks the wheels of legis- Iation. Meanwhile the Senators are pairing of and going home, and ere long the body will he without & quo rum.

Health is not so good i; have several cases of humps and something like measles. Mir Jackson Whitesldes happened with the sad misfortune to lose his wife & few days since; her disease was pneumonia. We have s good school now at Bells Chapel, taught by Miss Clemmie Holmes, recently from Ten nessee; she is an accomplished young lady and an excellent teacher.
