C>nry 011 Classical Education. "The study ot Latin and Orook must bo dropped fronu he curriculum ofoursehools and colleges. They are (load languages and should bo allowed to sloop quietly in their tombs." These bo strong words. We take them from a speech delivered in the Senate on) Monday week by Gen. Gary, and published in our columns this morning. The Senator from Kdgelield was opposed to the passage of the University Jiill, an;! took occasion during the debate to pro-J lionneo sentence of death on classical ed-j ucaiion, and to wish long life and prosperity to agricultural chemistry, geology, mathematics, and political economy. Hi j lias turned from the error of his ways, i from "the absurd theology of Ilesiod, the I Kuporstitious epics of Homer, and the las oivions odes of Horace," and he is guarding his piety, his intelligence, and his morals by the study of gypsum, salt, and ammonia. It is evident that he has. been converted by reading the works of Huxley, Tyndall, and Herbert Spencer. His familiarity with the writings of the lastmentioned philosopher is so intimate that he involuntarily makes use of his very words. Gen. Gary refers regretfully to "the ton years that he was delving among j the dead formulas of Latin and Greek," ! and was thereby prevented from learning! ' ' ?- - iNin-ul (.tiornistrv." ' ?KflJUIgV HIIU i> u. ... We sire reminded of Hvron, who makes hJsChildo Harold refer to the sweet lyrics of Horace sis A drilled dull lesson forced down word for word. In IiIk repugnant youth. | We arc disappointed. We had thought j of (ien. 'fsiry, the lawyer, Iho planter, tin j soldier, and the Senator, sis also the scholar, who found solace and delight in the works of the poets, wits, and historians of Greece smd Rome. We had been accustomed to think of the General as one who h:id, during his Virginia campaigns, relieved the rigors of a soldier's life byholding sweet converse with Homer and Horace, or by canning the pages of Xenophon and Julius C'sessir. We sire surprised too sit the General's introduction of this trite subject of debate on th? right *ide of which the culture and intelligence of the civilized world have been arrayed for centuries. We offer no arguments in favor of classical education, for the incontrovertible argu- I mcnts therefor have been crystallized into maxims; and it would be sis vain for us to utter mere truisms sis it is for the learned Senator to gainsay them. The world hus surely had good reason to concur for eonturies in giving the prc-eminontfte as a means and bsisis of culture to the classic literature of ancient Greece and Koine. All countries have agreed that a knowledge of the classics is tiie only sure foun- j dation of letters. The Universal xenti mem 01 Europe ana ^imuricn toiimucu i all men imperfectly educated who have not bccu "grounded," as Dominie Samp-1 ,son "grounded" his pupils in the Greek aud Latin tongues. The "humanitcs" is tho expressive old-fashioned term for tliose languages in which genius first niiido itself felt as a power in the world. And nothing has occurred in all>the centiires since,?no discoveries, though so many have been made,?no developments, though their number is infinite,? no new thin};, though everything is new, ?have shaken the power or diminished the influence of the two parent tongues and tiie wonderful inheritance of letters which they have left to us. And though the utilitarian and "practical" spirit would strive to weaken that power by substituting for the time-honored classical education instruction in modern languages and "useful," "practical" science, yet no one, not even Gen. Gary, has been bold enough to assert that the highest education of all is possible with this foundation left out or imperfectly laid. The learned Senator has been led astray by the unlucky name?dead languages. He can not call that Hellenic language dead which in the Illiad has like the Father of Waters rolled its course unhindered down three thousand years, and which still gives lbrth sweet music in Plato, and the tones of a trumpet in Demosthenes. Nor is that Latin speech dead which in Virgil's verses llows calmly but majestically like his own Kridanus, gives forth- an organ-swell of MiItonic| music in Cicero, and sparkles in our Hor- I aw like generous Falerniau wine. Those! languages are not dead, they do not even I sleep. They have more life in them than j some of tnose so-called "living"' lan- j guages. The .very words in whiieh Gen. <j;?ry couched his fulmiuation against tliem borrowed their force and beauty from those "dead languages" which he1 says "should be allowed to sleep quietly in their tombs." His conception of education is emphatically the utilitarian?asking what we shall eat, what we shall drink and whereas itlial shall we be clothed. Ho forgets tuat the life is more than meat and the body than raiment; and that those studies ?"ornamental" he calls them?which embellish, ennoble, and elevate that "life" are more to be desired than those which do little more than help us to procure that '-meat." Classical education ayd "practical" education are not rivals. Life is long enough for both. Neither ought to exclude the other. We have room and time for the "ornamental" as well as lor ihe breadand-butter studies. Many men are alive to-day, younger in years than Gen. Gary, who takedelight in reading the poetry of j Homer and Horace and yet are able to read and understand "the grand epic j written by the .finger of God upon the; strata of the earth;"?(a beautiful saying this of Herbert Spencer's which thei learned Senator unwittingly quotes.) | The Preb6 und the University. We publish this morning several leaders extracted from onr State press on the! "University questions, both pro and con.' The Kcoicee Courier's article is an able argument iu favor of opening the University in the near future when our State will have beeomo more prosperous. In the Associate Reformed Presbyterian we ?nd au article which was intended to bo against the University but which went on proving until it proved too much, and furnished an excellent argument for the University,?to wit, that the majority of the professors who till the chairs in the denominational colleges are men of *t?nixcr*ily" .training. Of tho five Krskiuo professors, three are Universitybred uien, aud of the other two who are graduates of Erskino the writer says they "are cqu^l in every reaped to theii* j co-professors,and in saying ho he ovi-1 dently thinks the force of compliment j can no further &>. It illy (we borrow the word from our co-temporary,) it iily i becomes t,he frj?2dn of the colleges to | frvXo-disestablish tJie University where! Nome of tricar ^professors were'trained. On the contrary it ?vould welly (we maio ihis'ue.w wo;d after the manner of the! .other,) it would wtUy become thein to Bupport the University if only for the ^iun.jng of prole*8ors, I ' The Spartanburg School Standard. i In the fyiartanburg Herald of the 23 I Inst. we liiul nearly a column of "impoi ; taut information to tcneliers and the ]>uli .lie" furnished by the School Commit j siouor of Spartanburg County. Part ( ] said information is the following: For third grade certificate applicant will be examined on good moral charai tor,orthography, reading, writing, aritl ! luetic, geography. For second grade all of third togrthi j with English grammar, history, boo | keeping. For tirst grade all of second and thir ) together with algebra, physiology, natu i rm pmiosopny. I llook^kceping, algebra, physiologi i natural philosophy! Why not add Urccl I Latin, Hebrew, Chinese, and Hiiuh stance? II' an iinpossible standard is t be established why nol make it as impo> sible as possible? The public sehoi system as generally understood is ox pouted to provide instruction in what ar ! usually called the common Knglisl branches. It is not expected that eacl public school shall be a college, or oven high school. The greatest objection to the Spartan burg standard however is that while : lew of tin* white candidates may be abl to stand a good examination, it will act a a prohibitive barrier in the way of th negro teacher. If the law rcqiurcs book keeping, algebra, physiology and natuni ( hilosophy, the Commissioner has a righ to include these subjects in his standard | but if not, and it does not. it will be wel | for him to put no obstacles in the way o the negro. To establish such a standarc and invite candidates to be examined re ? 1. ?u... : ?<1, j ItllllUS OIIP OI lilC SlUTlv mui iinmu in i'ox to dinner, but put the meat iu a long necked pitcher so thai reynard dould no reach it. "The State Superintendent," says th School Commissioner, "have (J) devised i system" iV'c. We have carefully exainin ed said system and heartily commend tin wise suggestions of Mr. Hughs. Thomp sou; hut we fail to lind any mention mad therein of algebra, or any of the "olo gies." He is right in understanding tha free public school instruction is limits to "primary education'' as explained b; Thomas Jelferson. Not only is the Spartanburg standan too high, hut the mode of examination i impracticable. If the examination is t< be "conducted principally at the blacl board," and if applicantsareto be "exam ined separately," we pity the Board o Examiners. It will UiUcat least an hou and a half to subject each applicant to ai examination that would even then be fa f.om thorough; at least 15 ap >1 leant! will present themselves (the number o public school teachers in Spartanburg las year:) the Examiners, an unpaid body working live hours a ilay will have tw< months hard work before they end labors Fortunately for them tho opening of tin schools in their county has boon lixed fo the loth J uly. We humbly suggest to ourSpartanburj friends the lowering of the standard t< the requirements of u plain, substantial English education; aixi the adoption o the plan of written examination fron printed questions, bv whiehall applicant! may be simultaneously and successfully examined in four hours, while the Exam iners will be able to report upon their pa pers in a few days. In this way mor and better work will be done, and th< needs of the free public school systcn. satisfactorily attended to. . <n> Effects ol' the Usury Law. A good deal of misunderstanding seem; to exist as to the etl'cct produced by th( L'sury Law on bonds or pecuniary contracts. So far as the decisions of thecour throw light upon the matter, the com monsensc interpretation seems to b< that the intention of the parties to th< contract will for the specified time over I iuu uic |nv;Tioivn.-? v* i? .. An ad mi ruble Digest has lately beer published by Silas J >hnst>no, Esq., ol' tin Newberry bar. It is a work that for accuracy, comprehensiveness, and corn pleteness would do honor to any lawyer and is especially acceptable as thecompi< lation of Chancellor Johnston'esj son. In it we find the legal decisions relating t( interest excellently and correctly summarked. Taking Johnstone's Digest as our guide, we publish the following legal maxims as iwsafe criterion. 1. The legal rate (7 per cent.) attaches after maturity, unless the parties expressly or by necessary implication havt fixed a different rate. 2. Where a party contracts to pay a sum with interest at a certain day, if the deb be not paid, the interest becomes principal, and the amount bears interest for the future. On a bond due at twelve months or g shorter period with annual interest from date, the interest accrues annually, as well after as before maturity. 4. When the time of payment is longei than twelve months, with annual imeresi from date, annual interest is to be com' puted to maturity, and simple interest afterwards. (j. The ease of Wright vs Eaves would seem to establish that when tho conditioi of a bond is to pay in instalments, the in ter<?st, which accrues after the lust instal incut becomes due, also bears interest. A Bloody Penal Code. The State must regret to see that tin i Mouse of Representatives have passed ; bill which is to elevate arson, rape, anc burglary to tho rank of capital crimes We hope the Senate will prevent its fina enactment. Such a law would be utterl; inoperative. Inordinate severity of pun ishmrnt always defeats its own purpose and such a law as the one contemplate' I the offspring as it is of temporary alaru | caused by the prevalence of crime, wil inaugurate a golden age of crime, ii which Judges, jurors, prosecutors, wit nesses, solicitors, and public opinion wil unite in a confederacy to prevent the ex ocution of so bloody a code. Wo ar sure that the permanent opinion of th people of South Carolina is opposed t< this needless severity, and temporary ex pediency is a poor pretext for relogatinj our statute-book back and down to : code lit only for the Star-Chamber. Tin bill thouirh nasscd was stoutlv on posed in the House, and it remains fo the Senate to spare the State the disgrace that would most surely follow the enact mcnt of the barbarous law. The arnelio ration of the criminal code is matter o history and a proof of progress and civ ilization. To make arson, rape, and bur glarv punishable by death might bead vocated by shortsighted men as a tern porary expedient for a special purpose but it would bring disgrace on our gen oration, and tend to the augmentation o crime. Expensive Economy. Economy is the order of the daj' ii our General Assembly?if we judge bi the promises made and the speeches de livered. The "poor man," the ''impover ished tax-payer," never had more nu merous champions. One might be in duced to regard this State as the pooj man's paradise. Unfortunately tlu economy so vaunted is only a pleasan theory. The delay in the election of tin Circuit Judgeu?for which delay no goot excuse has been offered?will cost tlx State no less than ?l,(!(.'0. The obstruc tionist policy pursued in the University Bill debate will cost an additional A motion to adjourn sine die is surely now in order. Thomas Jefferson caused "Founder o; the University'' to be inscribed on hit tombstone. The ambition of some members of our Legislature points anothci way.

The gymnasiums of German ! and the English high schools would i j this country t?o called Colleges,? perhai universities. Their curriculum is lii^ land extensive, embracing the classic _ j mat hematics, modern languages and led t j tiical science. We do not think that an ! college in this State need feel aggrieve at being included in the same categoi with a Rerlin gymnasium or with Etoi y Itugliy, or Edinburgh High School. 1 Professor Hood's Fountain of .Mori s Poison.
