The system fur h>cu! taxation f?. gs' schools, known as the Winnsboroplai 1| is gradually working its way in tli E State. A bill has been introduced t P- . provide for local taxation in the Cit &. of Greenville. This shows the aw at ening influence of last summer's Xo! I" sail Institute.

The Jean net te was filler Kp by Dennett>and several other ex p j>Io;*ers have recently been sent to loo!I after her. Gexekal Joe Johnston makes the tf ^rave charge that w ien the Confeder ale Government left Richmond it carvied ofi' specie to the amount of two and a half million dollars. General Johnston says that Mr. Davis is re? sponsible for it, and has never explained its disappearance. The trouble is Iihat General Johnston is somewhat bilious as regards the ex-Presiuent. "VVe do not believe that anv such sum and do not for an instant l. that ii was taken by Mr. according to the Xc<cs WQ$ricry borrowed a hundred |S|rom a member of his cabinet Richmond. The capture of v' Mr. Davisvand his incarcifRlion in | Fortress Monroe, effectually acquits . bim of any participation in the theft . if any was committed. The truth i;v doubtless that the amount was inach ' exaggerated, that what money was "brought down was '^seized'* by different parties at the- time of the coitapse, and that nobody was made rich Sir. llem<>hilK business manager of ' tlie Atlanta Constitution, says 3^ ' f was at Washington,, Geprgia, ?bout a month after tiiis wagon pjfcsed through there. Ic was well unu'er stood that the wagon train had beej.i robbed by bribing or killing the guards, or getting them drunk. I ilo not remember the details, bat there is no doubt that the treasure train of the Confederate Government was robbed -in that neighborhoods Even when I was rhovo .there were negroes through >ut the neighborhood that had large amounts of gold that eaioc to them j when the gold was scattered from the j "uairou truing j Mr. J. M. Maxwell, who formerly j ~ lived in Washington* says: ''I know I ^ajkbat this train was robbed, and that j istoney belongingt> tlie treasury ot the j Government was taken by i | voMiers- and citizens. There were! [ t;boa* sixteen wagons'of the bullion, I v.mraining a very large amoa?t. They ' were erteottntered- about owe'r.ii!c anu .

My testimony is not secondhand, for as 1 tokl von, I was then a lx>y, and went with a crowd that went into the wagons r.iui look out the specie." There is other testimony corroborative of this, and we ho ve no doubt that this is the explanation of the matter. Tbeidea that -dr. Davis in some way or other secreted any large amount la sJinolv absnrd. lie was taken to prison from Washington, and since the war he has been living in - - poverty.. It is believed by many about Washington that there wa? much gold buried in that neighborhood by some parties who had charge of 'he Confederate treasury, and a short time ago a negro barber of that village, who stated that fce knew where ?he gold was buried, u'ftft taken out and whipped nearly to ideath by men who insisted on his tcliiug tiiCm where it was. -CX Tie Cabinet. President Arthur has moved slowly in the appointment of his Cabinet, and his selections have been generally well received by both parties. Frederick T? Freliughuvsen, of Xew Jersey, tht ^^vr of Slate, is a Stalwart Lwf average ability and good character ?\n- several years he represented _seu Jersey iu tlie United States Senate ^enjumin IK Brewster, of Philadelphia, attorney-general. is a lawyer o the highest ability and his-'iuiegrity imarked. He was selected by Mac Yeagb as special attorney for the Stai Uouie prosecutions, and his appoint Mient bv Arthur to succeed MaeYeairl is regarded as an indication that thes< cases will be pushed. About this w< shall see.. Chief Justice Folder, o ^S'ew Yorkvthe yew Secretary of tin Treasury, is said to have made th best annual roport iroja mat uepnn Bient iii many years.

S;i! e is a very jjood old limn, we believe Lincoln, liujit and Kirk wood still re |aia in the Cabinet. iCiiief Justice Horace Gray, of Mas Lhusetts, lia* been appointed Assoc! fe Justice of the United States Su premie Court, and the Senate continue him unanimously. He is an ii^provt went upou reccut appointments to liw fcourt. Tie South American Republics.

Few nci'aons have :mv iiloa nf whs Providence 1ms done for Peru 1:1 th wav of natural wealth. Her siive ' miues were famous in the days o Pi/iarvo, and since then have yleldei = millions on inillions of dollars.

Iler nitre beds supply ih< v world with saltpetre for gunpowder Tiiey extend over a territory of abou ! forty thousand square miles, and an inexhaustible, nature supplying new i nitre as fast a- t?:e existing deposit i ; removed. Tils explains the grcai 11 desire of Chiil to absorb her neighbor * Peru lias been a prodigal, throwing - away untold wealth wi;h lavish hand ' Vet still enough remains for her putII dent neighbor to iintl a basis for sever5 al thousand millions yet, if carefully !1 i managed. c In connection with the recent friplod matic negotiations between the United States and her South American neigh? | bors. a curious fact leaks out. that a ^ j company of American capitalists exists t; winch holds a claim on Peru fur mne ^ j hnh-tj-mjjc million dollars. About forty i ^V(-'ruv^an Government | pa^Tm^lSgjtea*id-no that any person 1 | who m&Te'a "coven* of any natural 2 j resources should be entitled to onej | third or the proceeds. Two or three _ J years after this a man named Couchet . 1 discovered tlie guano deposits, and was entitled to one-thin1* of the vast : amount of wealth thus hid bare, lie :! did not get his money, of course, but i ui u iia> nc\v;i ic|uiui(uai ma uia.i:i? j which was indubitable. Tive "Peruvian 1 j Company" has gotten hold of this I claim* aiul with four hundred millions ' actually due Couehet, and interest ; accruing, they f<x>t up the modest little | claim of nine hundred million dollars. J Their object is to get the Provisional ' Government of Peru to make a sort of assignment, of the assets of the country ] to them, and then a> citizens of the ; United States they desire this govern! 1 * .. 4 L . .1. . ^ T > ; meiu 10 pro;et:i uiet; ligms. 1 ? ! u wouki doubtless assign her property to anybody rather than have Chile absorb it. It is hinted that the "Peruvian Company-' is at the bottou: of the recent muddle, but Secretary Ulaine ; clears his skirts by showing instructions to his representatives not to have i anything tado with these claim*, and , to direct all efforts to securing houora: We peace between C.ii'e u; d Peru and , ; Bolivia. 31 r.
