S. C. Selby and the Sen t. The Neics has very certainly shewn that the editor of the Phoenix has 21 wariu spot in his honrt f>r Honest .T?hn. His telegram as agent of the associated liress last winter, in ree>rd to the trial oefore Kirk; liis refusal to attack the Plae Ridite swindle, which resulted in the withdrawal of Col. Thomas from hi; paper; and his recent telegram, headed in all the northern papers as ''Patterson vindicated,*' etc., all remain unexplained av coming from a professedly conservative editor, and an enemy to ail radical carpet-baggers. On the other hand, what enu Dawson say to Selby that cannot as truthfully he said of himself Moses just as plainly controlled the Sans. ac it appears now that Patterson, controls the l*hauiix. Last year the Sac* could not afford to give up its ten thousand dollars worth of patronage; its cone pondents in Columbia liked to get six dollars a day as committee clerks irom the speaker of the house; to be designated the "official paper" was \v<n tli many hundreds of dollars a year when the Courier was alive; and therefore Frank Moses, for months Ik fee and months after tho election bud a useful, able ami industrious organ in the leading conservative paper of the State. Pon't let the pot call tho kcf.le black. From one end of the state to the other Joe Woodruff led out the pap to the conservative editors, and while the grub lasted they were dumb dogs indeed. Printing papers is expensive, conservative South Caroliuiaus are slow in paying for subscriptions, advertising is du'l, tuxes are high, and if Selby is lenient to Honest John, he can say to the News ?"You know how it is yourself. ' A Warning. Those \ybo count upon the continued docility of the people of South Carolina under misrule reckon without the host. There are signs of organization in one party and uiuttcrings of revolt in the other. It is not possible that the con? " "IIaw nn rWtinn fn pervwivw mil ujtaiu u.. ? go by default. We bee in the Grange.* the agency needed in the past to briny out the full vote of the democratic party in one supreme effort to secure an honest and economical government. And we see in the very recklessness of the repub lican leaders, in the talk of the people uround us, heard in Columbia, in the streets in the cars, and by the wayside, that, i he ties of party fealty are grown weaker, that the fears of the past arc being dissipated, and that a longing for P :rity and decency is growing among those whose votes have hitherto been depended upon to continue in power those who have been false to every trust, who have broken every promise, and whose course has proved a heavy load to republicanism elsewhere and a disgrace to it hero. The democrats of New Yoik, generally of the lower grades of the people, showed their desire for honest government by overthrowing Tweed. The sixty thousand majority which his party had for years maintained emboldened Tweed and his co-thieves to believe that they need fear inching. They insolently inquired when ffr.-t confronted with the cvidcuecs of their frauds: "What are you goiug to do aliout it?" They had a constituency which republicans were apt to think were h pole.1 -ly besotted with ignorance and v' ? .1? UlMlOIMWy.

This elaborate and suggestive document. ?setting forth, in a most forcible aspect, the magnitude and importance of our free school system, an i its rapid growtfy and improvement?is worthy of the devoted and capable officer from whom it emanates, and will amply repay your attentive perusal and consideration, to which 1 commend it.

There were in operation throughout the State, during the year 1*7-, 1,919 common schools, under the charge of 2,185 teachers During the present year there hare been 2.<>!7 schools, in charge of 2,3H) teachers, showing an increase, during this year, of ys schools and 125 teachers. Vou will readily see. from the figures civet) above, that almost two-thirds of the children of the State either obtain their instruction in private schools, or else are growing up in mentai ignorance and darkless. It is a!-o fairly presumable that the majority of the children who attend private schools are of the white race, as the parents of those who are colored arc. as a rule, too po ?r to pay for the education of th'-ir children. 1 respectfully but. mo-t earnestly call to the attention of your honorable bodies the imp rativc necessity, which seems to exi-t, of some action being spec, iilymnen to enforce those provisions of the constitution which require the compulsory attendance at school of all children between the ages of six and sixteen years. The superintendent of education reports that the progress and sueeev- of the school system has been greatly retarded by the unsatisfactory condition of the finances of the State, and recommends that proper legislative action be taken to secure such appropriation as will cover past indebtedness. It is duj to the State treasurer that I should say that the entire proceeds of the two mi!! levy for school purposes have been sacredly appli d to the appropriation for comi mon schools, as required by law?a_dcI tailed statement o! which will be found in Mr. Jibuti's report. 1 recommend, as Mr. Ji!!-on does, that the school funds be apporti mi -1 accord: in;* to school attendance, a the cou.-titu! tion direct-, and not according to scholas| tic pojiiilation. as now apportioned by ! law.
