the people of other towns? Well do
| remember. that when the subject
Of building a District School was dis
eussed. Dawson was ahead of all the
communities in her private dona-
tons. If this entities us to public
consideration, why is not Dawson
favored with Branch University?-
MOI We do not ask it. We do not
desire it. All we ask is, that public
aid may be withdrawn from our 81 s.
ter towns.
Then we will struggle on in our
efforts, and educate our children as
best we may, at our own expense
But while we do this, We do not de-
sire to be taxed to educate the peo-
pie of Cuthbert, or of other towns
that are now drawing large draughts
from the public pap. There is no
sort of justice in this. IF the state of
Georgia is able to educate all her
children, and she feels it her duty to
do so, let her give to all alike; both
to her sons and her daughters. Let
the money to appropriated to all the
counties, in proportion, to
population and let all her low
ing children drink knowledge
from the common fountain, But an
other objection to Branch Schools at
some places is, that they are
used exclusively for the education of
boys. Why are not our daughters
entitled to as much consideration by
the state as are our sons? Why dis

The Interest of Georgia demands
that she should have a University
for the higher and complete educa-
ton of those, who really desire to be
educated, and who are determined to
make themselves and the world bet
ter and wiser. This should be a
University proper, not embracing the
curriculum of the college only, but
embracing every department of
learning that is calculated to aid and
benefit mankind. No country in the
world should have higher grade of
scholarship than the United States !:
and no State should be ahead of
Georgia. But outside of this, all
education by the public, especially
under our theory of government, is
ian exploded humbug." Demago-
CUES may rant as they will; politi-
clans, TO make themselves popular
with the masses, may speak ever so
fiuently and touchingly, upon popu-
lar education, but the truth will re-
main as indestructible as time.
No government has the right to force
me to educate the children of others.
[ am responsible for no mans pow
erty, save my own. To be poor may
be a misfortune, but if so, it is a
misfortune for which no other
man is responsible. The philanthro-
pist, in the benevolence of his nature,
has the right to give his money, in
any manner, and for any purpose,
which to him, may appear wise and
discreet. But no government has a
right to extort that money for purpo-
SEES of its own. Snch a course, per-
severed in, would inevitably lea Ia

ideas, communism; and in that event,

ATLANTA, GA, July 80, 1883.
.ueSSrs. Editors:
Among the measures of legislation
that can now mention is the bill to
change the time of holding the Su-
perior Court of Calhoun county,
which has passed both Houses and
doubtless by this time is approved by
the Governor. The time of holding
Calhoun Court will henceforth be on
the Ind Mondays i'll December and
June. The House has passed the
cray Bill and the bill to tax rail
roads in each county through which
they pass. The fate of these two
measures in the Senate is doubtful
The Senate has passeda bill defining
who are retailers, and by the bill it
is provided that all persons selling
liquors in less quantities than one
gallon are retailers. Capt. Simmons
has introduced a bill to establish a
new charter for Dawson; and also a
bill to incorporate Bronwood. Ny
bill to amend the constitution so as
to create the Office of Lieutenant
Governor was to-day favorably re-
ported by the Judiciary committee.
The election for a Judge of the Su-
preme Court occurs Thursday, and
there are now four gentlemen who
will likely be put in nomination.
These are Judge Jno. T. Clarke, of
Cuthbert; Col. W. II. Dabney, of
Rome; Hon. W. S. Passenger, of
Savannah, and Col. Mark Blandford,
of Columbus. The result is now
involved in much doubt. The House
is kept busily at work disposing of
few general bills and vast volume
of local measures. The Senate now
manages to dispose of all matters
on The Secretary's desk each day be-
fore adjournment; but towards the
close of the session, the Senate will
be overwhelmed with work in acting
on bills of the House. 1t is now
believed that an adjournment can be
had BY the 10th of August. That,
however, depends mainly on the
House, before whom the bulk of the
business of the session is now pend.
