MR.. CLEMENTS ON EDUCATION
washington Correspondent, of Constitu-
finls I


washington Correspondent, of Constitu-
tiolf.
what 10 the nature of the bill to
increase the educational fund you
have Just introduced y asked of
Mr.. Judson G. Clements, of the
seventh
well, it is about the same in it's
general provisions as the bill offered
by Mr.. Goode. of Virginia, in the
last congress. |. proposes to apply
the proceeds of the sales Of public
lands to the educational fund. There
are millions of dollars worth of these
lands sold every year. The money
is poured into the general treasury.
| believe it ought to be set apart for
educational purposes. With the
present surplus 10 the treasury it is
not needed there, and to me it seems
peculiarly appropriate tina. the
money coming from the sale Of the
common property should go TO the
education of the masses. don't
see any better use TO which we could
put it,
DO you propose to give all this
fund to educational purposes 7
The bill provides that for the first
five years all of it shall be SO applied,
the apportionment to be made be-
tween the states on the basis of illit'
eracy. The next five years one
half the proceeds from lands are to
be used, and the other half invested
10 bonds and the interest only used
for education. Then, after ten ears
all the money coming from the sale
of public land is to be invested in
bonds for the benefit of a general
school fund.-
How much would Georgia get for
the first five years =
Il should say about a million a
year. You can imagine what revo-
luton that would work in our syste m
of public education, now necessarily
so imperfect | believe that the
benefits of this bill would soon place
the school systems of Georgia and
other southern states where they
could easily be maintained by the
states in a perfection they can never
reach with their present meager re-
sources
what are the chances of your
bill y
i believe they are good. The
members with whom have talked
see med to be favorable to it,
For two or three years past there
has been a strong element in con
gress favoring some such legislation
hope it has row grown strong
enough to carry this measure
through. 1t seems that it ought to
appeal to every representatives,
How do the southern representa-
tives generally regard it 7
Il believe they are nearly, if no
quite, solid in support of the policy
embodied 10 he bill. 1t has strong
friends north, south, east and west.

aU1rEAU FOUND GUILTY


The jury found Guiteau guilty OF
Wednesday Goth inst, imme diatel.
upon retiring after Judge Cox
charge. 1t appears that they di'
not need any time for deIiberation il
order to make up their verdict. Ii
half an hour after they had gone on
their work was done under unani
NOUS judgment, aud they announced
their readiness to return to court -
II is evident that there had been nj
difference of opinion and no debat'
upon any point. "GuiIty-so say
we all of us !"
The defence bad been insanity
but the jury, who had heard all the
experts, on the evidence, all the ar.
guments, and in whose presence the
prisoner himself had sat for ten weeks
we're not convinced that there was
sny ground for it.
The jury kpew, and the defence
admitted, the act of killing; so that,
unless the prisoners responsibility
were proved by the testimony, their
verdict was provided for them in
advance. 1t was a remarkably pa
tient and attentive jury. Every man
of it seems to have given heed to
everything within the line of his
duty from first to last. Two or three
of the men were i'll, but they all
weathered the trial One of them
lost his wife, but he quickly re-
turned to his place.
Guiteau himself has most assuredly
had all his rights and privileges in
the court. He was permitted to plead
his own case as member Of counsel
for the defence. He was allowed to
assail witnesses, to interrupt the pro-
scouting counsel, and to interject all
sorts of remarks whenever he pleas,
ed. When he was removed from
the counsel!table, and put 10 dock,
it was supposed he might be held in
check but he was just as insolent
in the dock as he had previously
been He was startled by the ver-
dict, but it did not paralyze his
tongue.
Judge Ccx has had difficult task,
and has been bitterly asssiled by
that unreasoning sort of people who
are always impatient of the forms of
law when their passions are arous-
ed, and who always want to abridge
the rights of prisoners to whom they
are opposed. But Judge Cox has
taken no false steps, has preserved
the authority of the bench, and has
borne himself with reserve through
out. His charge to the jury was
excellent.
The whole country will sustain
the Judgment of the jury, and pro-
nounce the verdict to be just. -Neic
IoJk San.
