The County Board of Examiners has issued a call for a meeting of school trustees; and it is hoped that all the trustees will attend. It is notorious that many defects have heretofore existed in the system of free schools. These the State superintendent is laboring earnest. ly to remedy, and he requires the co,uperation of the county school officials. Entirely too much laxity has heretofore prevailed, both in the examination of teachers and the conduct of the schools. The pres ent State superintendent requires the strictest conformity with the provisions of the law. He has issued orders that' no teacher's certificate shall be granted without previous examination ; and indi.. cates that the examination shall be mostly a written one, on questions prepared by himself and forwarded to the County Boards. The object of the proposed meeting is to have a full and free conference among the trustees, concerning the number of schools to be opened, the salary of teachers, the means of increasing the efficiency of teachers, and of popularizing the system of public instruction. The State superin tendent has promised to attend the meeting, unless some unforeseen contingency prevent; and he will give some very useful and interest ing information. Every one con nected with schools should become acquainted with him. It is sincere ly hoped that all the trustees of Fairfield, by attending the meeting, will evince that zeal in behalf of free schools which should charac terize competent officials. L. Cass CARPENT ER.-The trial of L. Cass Carpent er for forgery be gmn on Monday morning. The State was represented by S.>icitor Abney, of the fifth circuit, and the defendant by Mr. R. B. Carpenter. The jury consisted of six white and six colored persons. In substance the indictment charged Carpenter with having altered a printing bill, on the 20th day of January, 1872, from $720 to $1720, and with having procured its payment at the State treasury in the fraudulently altered form. The witnesses for the State narrated very fully the circumstances of the case, and their testimony clear ly established the guilt of the accused Carpenter testified, in his own be half, that he had never altered or changed a single figure or bill whereby tihe State was defrauded of a cent ; the custom was to ask the treasurer how much he had, and to make the bills to conform!; sometimes from twelve to fifteen thousand dol lars were due him, which could not be paid ; $2,4G9 was due for sube scriptions of members and clerks and their -friends. Parker testifiedl to having advanced Carpenter from his private funds until the State could pay. Experts and practical printers were then examined. Thme whole examination took a wide 1nold. The evidence elosed on Monday evening, and the argument began on Tuesday morning. WVe are in formed, by a gentleman who camne up from Columbia on Tuesday af ternoon, that Carpenter was found guilty. On the annoneement of the verdict he w6pt bitterly. Judge Carpenter, his counsel, stated he would not make a motion for a new trial, buj would implore 'the mercy of the court, for the sake of the prisoner's wife. and children. This is all well enough, ,perhaja. ButCass'Carpenter never once thought or cared for the wives and children of the white men of South Carolina, wh-n, day Jfter day, he was inciting tho nie-rooa . in condiarism, violence and crimo. The day of retribution, we rejoice, is come at last. And the vile, cowardly villain, the infamous and malignant incendiary, L. CasS Carpontor, should suffor the extreino ponafty of the law.
