All visitors to tho exposition should call at
the department OF South Carolina and look
at this interesting relic OF the Old hero OF New
Orleans.
In 1916 the ladies' OF South Carolina pre-
sented 20 Gen. Jackson magnificent vase Of
silver weighing 600 ounces, and inscribed aI-
prOpriately, in Acknowledgement of theobliga-
tlons OF the sex 20 the hero who had saved
their sisters Of New Orleans from the CRASH

When Jackson made his will he beQueathcd
this vase 10 his executor, Andrew j. Donnel-
son. TO be bestowed on him who should dtstin.
guish himself by the greatest bravery In the
next foreign war.
Mr.. Donnelson concluded that the bravest
man would be found In the Palmetto regi- =

sent the Jackson vase 10 Gov. Aston. OF south

The Annual Examinations.

The annual examinations of the schools
under the control of the Board of Educa-
ZION of this county took place yesterday.
The exercises were satisfactory to all con-
eerned. teachers as well as scholars. The
former showed that they were progressive,
and the latter that they were generally
quite proficient. There was a notable
lack Of interest upon the part of the
parents Of children in attendance at the
Barnard street and the Massie schools,
particularly the former. This ought not
to have been the case. Parents who
wish to see their children advance in
their studies should make sacrifices
to attend these examinations. Such
sacrifices would give them proper con-
ception of their duty to their children,
and would help them to understand what
they should do to assist the teachers in
their labors. Those who are prone 10
find fault with the school discipline
might be led to see their errors, and also
learn something themselves about the
education and management Of children.
At present parents seldom visit the
schools except when they are in bad
temper respecting something that has
been done to their children.
1t would be a surprise TO many to hear
the recitations of the scholars and see
them work out problems on the black
boards that would puzzle older heads.
The attendance at the Academy
was very fair, although some OF
the rooms had only a few visitors.
At the colored school it was a day Of
! jubilee, the rooms being packed with yisi-
tors, from the old, gray-haired uncle and
aunty, who looked on with amazement at
the display of learning Of their grand
children, 10 the young colored mon and
women who were born under the new
order Of things. The scholars of the col
ored schools are doing well. In fact,
their progress is calculated to unset some
Of the old-fashioned theories about their
race.

New Railway Lines.

Several railroads are being built, the
completion of which viii have a very I'M
portant bearing upon the business inter-
ests of Savannah, as well as upon the de-
velopment Of the country tributary to
them. The building of these lines has
been from time TO time referred to by the
MORNING NEWS, but not in such way
as to convey to the general reader a clear
idea of their Importance. 1t Is generally
supposed that these roads are of but local
Importance, and are not connected with
the great system of lines competing for
through business-that, in fact, they are
intended only for local trade.
This latter supposition was partly cor
rect until very lately. The Augusta and
Knoxville Railroad is to become an i'm
portant factor in new system. 1t will
be remembered that a few days ago it was
stated that the partly built railroad ex-
tending from Laurens, S. c.. to Spartan
burg, S. c., had been leased, and would
be completed, and that the Savannah
River Valley railroad from Anderson, S.
c., to Mccormick. on the Augusta and
Knoxville railroad, which is graded,
would be at once ironed. Capt. w.
G. Raoul is the leading spirit
in these new railroad movements.
The amount of work TO be done on
these roads is not very great, aud tits said
that they viii be in running order this
year. The connection at Spartanburg
VIII be completed by July 1, and that at
Anderson, g. c., little later. The coun-
try tributary to these roads is the garden
spot of South Carolina. I'm addition to
this they tap the Richmond and Danville
system-which has heretofore had a
monopoly Of the carrying business of a
very rich section of country, and has di-
rected this business to Norfolk-at two
! important points, and give an inlet and
outlet to other places by shorter routes.
They VIII open up to Savannah a new
territory. Anderson, S. c., being only
something over 200 miles from this city by
this route, and Spartanburg about go
miles. These enterprises are actually
within a few months Of completion. OF
course the building of these railroads
viii benefit Savannah just so far as her
merchants have the push and energy to
/ get the business of the new territory.

The Opinion in Gen. Lawton's Case.
The reasoning by which the Attorney
/ General reaches the conclusion that Gen.
Lawton is qualified to hold office under
the Federal Government VIII doubtless
he generally regarded as satisfactory
The only question to be determined, as
we stated several weeks ago, was the in
tention of the third section OF the four
/ teenth amendment. The language OF that
section is very comprehensive and would,
on n hasty reading, seem to include Gen.
Lawton and all others who occupy the
same position that he does. The section,
however, must be interpreted in the light
of the decisions Of the supreme Court in
which points similar to that raised in
Gen. Lawton's case have been passed
upon. When interpreted in that way it
appears to be clear that there never was
any purpose to reimpose disabilities that
had been removed.
The aim OF the fourteenth amendment
was to reach persons who were offenders
against the laws of the United States.
When that amendment was adopted Gen.
Lawton not only was not but, in the eyes
OF the law, never had been, an offender
against the laws of the United States.
The pardon Of President Johnson had
made him, as it were, new man.
The intent of the third section Of the
amendment, and the absurdity Of suppos-
ing that it applies to Gen. Lawton, are
shown, probably, as well as they could
possibly be shown, by the proposition Of
the Attorney General, that if the pardon
OF President Johnson was not effective as
against the amendment then those who
have had their political disabilities re-
moved by a two-thirds vote Of Congress
you'd have to have their disabilities re-
moved again if an amendment of precisely
the same kind should be adopted requir-
ing a unanimous vote of Congress to re-
move such disabilities.
1t is probable that the point raised in
Gen. Lawton's case will never be raised
in Congress again, and if Gen. LawtOn
had permitted the President to carry out
his purpose and appoint him to the Rus
sian mission there doubtless would not
have been any opposition when the nomi-
nation came up in the Senate for confir-
nation.
II is true that Gen. Lawton has the
honor Of having been selected for a very
important post by the President, but his
friends would have been better satisfied,
doubtless, if he had consented to accept
that honor.

Of this hay from MIR. George Russell, a
farmer at Plumstead. 1t was rejected on
delivery, upon which Bayne went to the
authorities and explained that it was inn
possible for him TO fulfill the contract,
owing TO this arbitrary system Of reiec-
tion. AS he only delivered Is tons on his
contract, he was fined 60 for the nom
delivery Of the remaining 1872 tons. The
