Federal appointments North and
South.

SOutD-
The Memphis Appeal has taken the
trouble to collate and publish some sta
tistIcs of the appropriations made for
the various sections of the country, and
it appears that the North has, as an in
variable rule, gotten even more than
the lions share of the money. From
the Appedrs figures it is shown that
there have been given to Southern States,
to aid in the building of railroads, H.
800, 35l acres; to Northern States, 3D.
4SS $50; to Southern railroads, and sim
liar corporations, direct, Q, $50, 900 acres:
to Northern corporations, 139, 341 900;
to Southern canals, nothing; to North
ern ones, ,405, 9S6 acres; for rivers har-
bors, canals and internal improvements
generally, $5S ,66l ,010, and $2s, 92S, 133
in bonds, against So, 259, Alb for the
Southern half of this country. And
although our gulf and sea coast is more
extensive than that beyond Chesapeake
Bay, yet for the various lighthouses.
navy yards, Notifications. etc, there has
been spent North $136, IA, SIS, and
South So, 524, 800. Finally, in the do
nations of public lands for free schools,
the distribution to the two sections has
been 20, 213, 534 and Z, 434, 446 acres re-
spectively. The total of these appropri-
atoms for the improvement and advance
ment of the two sections, estimating
the value of the land at the Government
price, Sl.25 an acre, is:
Northern States. ....... .......S5.65I5.4 $50
southern states -.-.-.....--- l4l,sl6,Sal
1t is thus seen that the North has re-
ceived for Its benefit from the public
crib sum nearly five times greater than
has the South, although this section
contains considerably more than third
of the population of the country. has
the largest coast front, more rivers and
harbors of importance requiring i'm
provement, and needs railroads and
schools more than any other portion of
the Union. No wonder that, consider
ing these facts, the New Orleans Times
Democrat is constrained to say: There
is little reason for the Republicans. who
have had the appropriation and expend-
iture of most of this money under their
control, to boast of generosity to the
South in the face OF these figures"

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
A List of the Teachers Appointed
Tor the Fail Term.


Tor the Fail Term.
Dropping into the office of Prof. \. j.
Wood, Superintendent of Public In
struction for Putnam county, n News
reporter procured the list of teachers
printed below who have been appointed.
There will be sixty-four public schools in
the county this year, and teachers have
been provided for forty-two of the num-
Der, leaving twenty-five schools yet to be
provided with teachers. So far as we
have been able to learn the teachers APP
pointed are all very competent, and the
outlook is that we are to have better
schools than ever, provided the parents
offer the proper encouragement TO the
teachers and Superintendent by sending
their children promptly, and keeping
them there throughout the term. Ii is
the intention of the Superintendent to
see that all the schools are properly con-
Quoted, and if the attendance of scholars
Is not kept up to what it should prop
erly be the schools will be discontinued.
The estimates of expenses for the
schools have not yet been made out, but
will be in time for the next meeting of
the County Commissioners, when we will
print it in full. We are glad to note that
the public generally is taking an active
interest in public school matters, and if
the people will continue 10 take this
interest, and lend their aid, the school
system can be built up to what it
is intended TO be.
Following is the list of the teachers
appointed:

and minds of the multitude, causing

and minds of the multitude, causing
them to cry out "What shall we dof"
Then Peter said unto them, "Repent
and be baptized every one Of you, in
the name of Jesus Christ for the re-
mission Of sins, and ye shall receive
the gift of the Holy Spirit" "Then
they that gladly received his (Peter's)
word were baptized, and the same
day there were added unto them
about three thousand souls"
Now then, Peter preached the gos-
pei which is the power of God unto
salvation. The people heard it and
all those who gladly received his
word were baptized. Now the only
water used in the transaction SO far
as the record shows was in baptism.
The use of the Holy Spirit was ex-
hibited in Peters preaching. The
Holy Spirit then begot faith in that
multitude through the agency of
Peters sermon, and when they were
baptized they were horn of water.
Metaphorically the water represented
the mother in the birth and the spirit
the father, because the spirit begat
faith in their minds and hearts
through Peters sermon, and when
they were baptized they were born
of both parents, spirit and water,
! just as every child in natural birth
! is b.rn of the father when born of
| the mother, and not before, and this
compliments the figure and estab-
fishes the metaphor.
Now we have no cutpouring of the
spirit of God as at Pentecost, but
we have the word of God as revealed
to us in the bible by or through the
agency of the Holy Spirit. This
"word is sharper than any two edged
sword" and Is denominated ''the
sword of the spirit" With it Peter
slew three thousand vile sinners OF
Pentecost, made them die to sin ano
made them alive to God. Now i
such was the result on that day Ger
tainly the same causes ought now tt
produce the same results. That the,
will do so is as certain as that thu
gospel is from God. Then it follow
that all that is necessary is to preacl
the gospel. The people will hear
repent, be baptized and thereby en-
joy the birth of water and the spiri
become citizens of the Kingdom 0
God, and thus honor Jesus, th
great King. M. Y. DUNCAN.

taught and practiced three partial
dips for one baptism, and the head
was not required to be put under.
And he was born % years after the
first council of Nice and about the
time the burial theory was invented.
Before that first council of Nice we
find no trace of that absurd theory
that baptism is designed to symbolic
a burial. If Mr.. Duncan will look
into those forged documents, called
the Apostolic Constitutions, (book 3,
chap. 2,) he will find this immaculate
paragraph, viz: "rhe wateris instead
of the sepulcher, the oil instead of
the Holy Ghost, the seal instead of
the cross, the ointment is instead of
the confirmation, the dipping into
water (kdtadusis not baptizo) is the
dying with Christ, and the rising out
of the water (daddasis,) is the rising
again with him." The authors of
those spurious Apostolic constitu-
tions are the authors of the burial
theory 1t originated in the fanciful
and superstitiWs brains of the Cath
olics after A. d. 325, and is rather
late to aid us in correctly understand
ing the New Testament.
There is but one point in Mr.. DIS
No. 6 that is worthy of notice. That
one is the name Christian. He seems
to think that all disciples should take
to themselves the name of the Lord.
Well, what was the Lords name
Turn to Luke |: 81, "And thou shalt
call bis name Jesus" Look again,
Math. l :21, ''And thou shalt call his
name Jesus, for he shall save his
people from their sins" Christ was
title and not the Lords name at all
So all Mr.. Duncan's talk about Mrs
Jones-Smith is consummate bosh
The word Christ means anointed
Jesus, the Christ is the Anointet
Savior. Jesus was Gods anointeC
! son. All Christians are anointeC
ones. But all amounting, materia
and spiritual, was done by pouring
or sprinkling. Mr.. Duncan and hiI
, brethren have no pouring or sprink

Was Miss Bayard's Death the Result OF
Wearing L0W-necked Dressess


WASHINGTON, Jan 19.-What caus-
ed Miss Bayard's death? Physicians
may pronounce it heart disease, but
we who have seen her habits knew
that she was the victim of low-neck-
ed dresses. That will not deter any
other gay young girl from following
her fate, but none the less should a
moral be pointed. On the Wednes-
day preceding her death she ire
ceived' with her mother at the usual
reception of the wife of the Cabinet
officer. 1t was bitterly cold day !;
the air penetrated the thickest wrap
ping. The pleasant parlors of Mrs.
Bayard were filed with groups of
visitors coming and going incessant-
ly. We shivered in our sealskins,
near the open fire, for the constant
ly opened outer door gave blast OF
air fresh from Boreal regions.
Never was Miss Bayard iovelier o,
more considerate of others, fac'
which was remarked by all visitors
She wore a cream-colored brocads
with CLINT of ashes of roses, Gu
square in front, thus exposing th'
delicate anatomy of throat and lung
to the inclement season.
The very night preceding her deatl
she was occupied with a party o
friends till midnight. She then wor
decollete dress, and stood Ion:
time IN the hall to ''we!come th
coming or speed the parting guess.
A friend begged her to don a wraE
as she was already suffering from
cold. Accordingly she threw some
thing about her shoulders when th
door opened, and threw it off whe
, the door was closed.
Shortly after she retired, givin
:, directions not to be called till aftel
noon of the next day. When ht
sister entered the room at the al
pointed hour her spirit had flown.
