Wednesday, JTan. 16,1878. The Public Schools and the jPublic Fund. We notice that the trustees of the fwhools in the various districts of AbbeTille County are summoned by the School Commissioner to a meeting on the 2&1 inst.?next Wednesday. These men have a difficult problem to solve. How to distribute the public funds properly and how to secure the proper number of , efficient teachers for both white and black children, are questions hard to answer. The funds will consist of the joint proceeds ot the two-mill tax and tho poll tax. The former will furnish over ten thousand, the latter nearly five thousand dollars, aggregating in round numbers more than fifteen thousand. The express words of the Constitutional Amendment are that "the School Tax shall be distributed among the several school districts of the counties, inproportion to the reaper^ tive nw?n6t?r q/f^upiln attending the Pub- | lio Schools." And the instructions of , State Superintendent Thompson are that ( "the foil Tax will oe expenueu a* Heretofore in the school diat riots in which it is , collected." For the information of the ( public and especially of the school trus- ( tee?, we have prepared the following , table which will be valuable as a basis for calculation in ascertaining the proba- , ble amount of money that will fall to the | schools of the respective townships. . aIa?Si;--esa-)3'y^aM'- i ] ci=:rr5; jH:s3E.:r ? ?J S.="3* 5 f ? ? -s if n ' : " !?} 3^"".""^ 1 : JT: -J"*. * < I I gi 5T5igj; S iiMs j ?-L s?I ' II Ht8iil55B8SStSI?81 W?w*- ft \ !ljgs-igggssgiaiig|ji?"'' 1 | l 3??5a58?8tSilSg3S I """"' .if < |C^9?lsiaiM8iih^ ^!

By observing the number of pupil> in any one school-district, a simple sum tn rule of three will show how much of the ton thousand dollars will fall to the uharo of that dtstrlot; and by working similarly with its number of polls, its siiaro of the five thousand dollars of polltax can be ascertained. Take Due West district No. A, as an instance. Assume that in the whole county 5000 pupils will attend the schools th}? y??r, and that Due West will furnish 200; then $400 of the School-tax would be apportioned to that district. The polls of that district amount to 342, which, allowing a reduction of about ten per cent, for non-collection, would yield at least ?300. Duo West would therefore be entitled to $700 for public school support. Abbeville, district No. 11, with 500 pupils, would olaim $1,000 of School-tax, and yield over $-100 poll tax, in all $1,400. When the School Commi&sionor and the school trustees meet here next Wednesday they will have to concert measures for the properapportionment of the fund, for the appointment of toacliers, and for i regulating the duration of the school t term. As fbr the first, the law explicitly ' points out the mode of distribution?the < School Tax "In proportion to the rcspoc- 4 tlve number of pupils attending the Pub- * lie Schools,"?the Poll tax "in the school 1 districts in which it is collected." As for * teachers, It would seem to be necessary -1 to limit their number. Last year there 1 were over one hundred and fifty public c school toachers in Abbeville Count}*. r This year's fund would afford such a c number only flOO each, more or less, ac- * cording to grade. In some counties a * minimum of pupils is established below 1 which no teacher can get public support, f In other counties a geographical arrange- 8 ment has been made by which the public 8 schools are placed at so many miles d1s- c tance from each other; as for Instance in f Union County, where the trustees have 1 placed the schools "no nearer to each a other than four miles," With reference ' to the duration of the school term, it f seems advisable that It should extend to ' six months at least. These and other 1 matters, however, the trustees will eon- J sides', and come, we hope, to a satisfactory and wise arrangement. "In Proportion to the Number of | Pupils." The framers of the new Constitutional e Amendment which established the two- ] mill tax for educational purposes acted , wisely when they made "the number of ( pupils" the standard for distribution of ( the school tax. . School-taxes are levied t for public benefit, for the benefit of the ( children especially of the poor, and not 1 for the benefit of the teachers. The , school-fund is not a pension-fund, and , should not be so considered or claimod. The newnfcw makes it the interest of the various school districts to send hs large a . number of pupils as possible to fhe public schools. The district that sends the largest number gets the largest share. , The establishmant of a minimum number of pupils below which no school can 1 be a public school, will also have a heal- J thy effect. It will greatl^educe the use- ( lesslv large number of so-called public i 1 schools, many of which were really pri- ' vate cltuwes, in which -parents were ac- 1 rvoim k?f fhn mihlla fnnfl tr\t , r-?- - ? ??.. , ing their own children. The provisions i of the Amendment, *ad the establish- 1 ment of a minimum will mutually co- ' operate to fir the necessary number of publie cehools and to place them in the proper relative positions, and will do so 1 roueh better and more satisfactorily because more naturally than any arbitrary system of so many schools to eight mi Lex ' qcareeoold da $ 4^ 9 Newspaper Qirarreta.

He succumbed to i an attack of miliary fever, a disease 1 which brought him to death's door in i 18tt8, aud at three o'clock in thoiiflornoon 1 of last Wednesday, 9th January, sitting i dressed in his arm-chair, with his family i and friends at his side, he bent his head ' and quietly died. The Qulrinai paiacer had been surrounded by immense crowds! of his sorrow stricken subjects, and ! when it was told them that their King ' was no more, the wildest exclamations of' I grief burst from that dense Italian h throng. We are told that "strong men i burst into tears, women fainted, and despair was depicted on every countenance." i Such an outburst of unfeigned grief 1 must seem strange to the citizens of this 1 crreat Republic whose ruler is never more than the highest of the salaried and torn- 1 porarv officeholders and is never connect- i ed in the minds of the people with that ' divinity that doth hedge a king. The ties of warm affW-tlon that often bind togeth- ! er a monarch and his subjects find no i congenial soil In the relations that exist ] between a people and their president who . Is always the head of some political part}'. ' The death of a king like Victor Em- < manuel Is of much deeper SigniflcarvesMo 1 the peoplfc of Italy than the retirement of < a Grant or a Hayes Is to tho people of ! America. The genoral and false tmpros- 1 sion In the minds ofour people (hat a 1 European m?>naroh In modern time# is a ' mere figure-head on the vessel ofState ' Is dispelled bv such a scene as was be- < held In the courtyard of th? Qnlrlnal pal- ' ace last Wednesday n<>ernoon. Rome ( and Italy were filled with painftil suspense and anxiety which were succeeded j' i>3' consternation when the death of the I' king was announced. Victor Rmmanuel has achieved a posi- ^ tfon in modern history second to none of ' the men of his time. Born in 1820, he as- ( fended tho throne of Sardinia !n 1849. J At that time and for ten years later Ttalv ' consisted of seven separate governments < of which the most formidable was that of < Lhe Pope who as a temporal sovereign ( rulod the States of the Church. To defeat 1 Austria and retrain Lomhardo-Venet-a, ' to absorb Tuvwiy, Parma and Modena. 5 to incorporate the kingdom of Naples 5 \nd finally to hreak down the temporal ! [>ower of the Pope and retgn lbr seven ( vrnrs king of all Italy, united fbrthe first lime since the days of Augustus Caesar? this was grand work, and will make the loer of it immortal. No doubt he was < fi-eatly aided by. the statesmanship of 1 Savour, the gallantry ofthat modern hero 'Jaribakii, and the substantial friendship ( >f Napoleon III; but the chief place in 1 he drama of ovents was filled by "Victor ' Emmanuel. * He will be remembered chiefly, how- * >vcr, for his successful struggle with the f lapacy, which he carried on to a glorious 1 ermination despite the thunderer of tho i Vatican whose major excommunication { ind anathema Jay on the stubboin king 1 mtll he reached "the month of death." * 'so event in modern history has greater 1 mportance than this stripping of tbe * Pope of his temporal power and posses- r lions. The h:md that accomplished it is [ old in death, and all protestants must J eel anxious to know If Humbert the ^ lew king will be able to keep what his ' lire so nobly won, "The race is not to f - A* aUAnr? ?? i no swill Iiur iue Uitmc m uic miviip. rheaged "Pope sftlllives; VictorEmman- * lei ha<? died in the meridian of life.

( We see quite a number of papers talk- 1 rip: of tlio necessity of calling a eonstUu- l ional eonventlon In this State, but so far ! ve have seen no <rood reason urged fbr so J Join?;. These articles ?neak in general?- r ies hut do not specify the particular evil j to>m which we would he relieved. If we vant a Convention the people should enow the necessity of it. The only obections which we have spon urged pre, the iesire on the part of a few to aVer the ( lonstltutional requirement of 625 sqnp.-p niies?to make a new County, and the liBposltlon to tamper with the exiting j lomestead provision. wh!ch proteets the 1 ami'les of the poor in the possession o' 1 heir homes pera'nst the avaricious c pdi- i or. The homestead provision is wise in i tny eonsl'tutlon and the people should j ee to it that this safeguard is not remov- j id. It is the duty of the State to educate i ler poor and see that they are protected n their homesteads. This is right from in enlarged selfish standpoint. The new v settled States give homesteads to set < iers?and we see no reason why the re no**Ke'?s creditor should he allowed toake the poor man's hou*e, when the law i >revents the rich man from extorting a ligh rate of interest from his opprosse 1 ind impecunious neighbor. The Statois interested in an educated ; itizenship and is willing to pay to seenj he inestimable blessing which education onfers, and the State is not less interest ;d in her citizens possessing homesteads. \ ;Jut we presume, the counsels of these j Tien, "wbonre wiser than seven men who ' an give a reason," will prevail, and the ?onvention be galled at this inauspicious ime, before we are safely in possession 1 >f the government. The great difficulty ' >vith the State and National Govern ments for the past ten years lias been that we have had too pinch legislation. \ Fruitiest Attempt to Evnile the L'tury Law. The GreatvUle A'eus of last Fridry lavs t "The principal posulf that we have thus far seen of the Usury Law, has been in Lhechanpe of ownership of interest bearing securities.

Since we published an article in these columns under the above heading, a great many additional military appointments have been made by Governor Hampton ; ind.jnst the other dav a few more officers were appointed over the %'olunteor citizen soldiery of this State?consisting of quarter-masters, ite., with various ranks. The Chcirlcsto7i Jjnrnal of Commerce, repeated our questions t.? the authority which the Governor has to make thoso appointments. Senator Lipscomb five weeks ago put the pointed question in the .Senate and asked that the military committee examine the meaning of the net relative to the military, and report in what part of said act the authority for the appointment of officers is contained. So Car as we are aware, the question has not been answered in the Senate. It. is a matter of some importance to the volunteers, if not to our executive, and we sincerely hopo an answer will be vouchsafed at once. The volunteers?the S. C. V. T.?certainly have thought they possessed the right to elect all their officers sxcept the' Commander-in-chief whose posftion the Governor cx officio occupies. | As a body they are jealous of their rights j ind privileges, so much so that a man: wmot entor the ranks as a private with-! ?ut being balloted for, and it would bo a' nimlsvfl* aiwimak if tVi? RimflriOf OffiCOr I should oome In on ea?|er term^and altojeth6? irrespective of the wishes of the men, A oommon sense interpretation,? indeed a literal interpretation, of tho statute gives the Governor no appointing authority, but so far as it goes the statute explicitly confers tho authority,?"by election"?on the volunteers themselves. This prerogative of election is in accordance with tho genius of a Volunteer Soliierv. Take it from them, you throw a ivet blanket on the military ardor of the poung men of the State. Promotion from the ranks is a powerful incentive to jntering one's self as a private in the ranks. Make it impossible, smother natjral ambition, place all high positions in lie gift of the executive, and the volunteer troops of South Carolina will consist >f the Commander-in-chief and his apaointees,?all rank and no file, The quesion asked, as the Journal of Commerce says, i? pertiment, *nd surely when of mch importance to our gallant volunteers and when brought to the attention of the Senate by a member of that chamber, it ieserves an answer.
