Judge J. J J. Hud- v Bon was promptly in lus place on the J v bench on Monday morning at ten o'clock, j j. The Court room was crowded. Tholjj grand jury were in attendance. Under |j .the system of rotation 01 circuit juugcs, i {. this is tho first occasion in which Judge g Hudson has presided over the circuit at s Abbeville Court Hosise. He comes hitli- t1 or highly commonded by the bar and the c press wherever he has heretofore held ti court, and we doubt not he will add to ihis high reputation as a Judge. His firm a and decisive manner betokens a practical j l< mind and entitles us to expect that the j p business of this September term will do ; li transacted with eeleritj'. it Tho Judge's charge to the grand jury p was too long for publication in extensn, w which wo greatly regret, for it contained n a mass of information of great value to jt our citizens, and also was full of advice s much of which is needed. Judge Hudson began by referring to the restored v, system of rotation of Circuit Judges, si which lie strongly advocated as much su- p perior to tho innovation introduced by n the reconstruction laws by which each J "circuit judge was required to confine hisjti work to his own circuit. lie considered that under the election system, it was n eminently advisable tliat the judges b should not be confined to the fixed orbit w of their own circuits where they might I be rendered unable to administer justice v impartially because of the inevitable bias g of personal knowledge of parties, likes J a and dislikes. IIo therefore gave Lis un- ;i qualified approbation to the rotation plan tl now in force, which is simply a revival ]i of the practico before reconstruction. ti Before proceeding to charge the grand r jur3', Judge Hudson paid a high and s graceful compliment to Abbeville Couu ty. He said that in doing so it was with- p out the slightest desire to flatter?and f therein most he flattered?lor ho simply f. gave voice to the sentiment of the inhah- r itants of sister counties and of the whole r State when he called Abbeville County q the Athens of upper Carolina, the home r of refinement, culture, and popular in- 1 telligence, the banuer Count}' of South s Carolina. o He refcrr(?d in eloquent language to the tl Illustrious sons of this favoured county v who havo made her name great, to Cal- n houn, the Ward laws, and MePuffie. To ( cach of these he paid a worthy tribute of I tl respect and veneration ; and he assured j n ??JllP grand jury that ho did so to excite s their ardour and his own zeal in diseharg-' v lng their several duties in a county so t< distinguished. | p He then adverted briefly to the history; n of tho recent past, the reign of oppres- j tl sion, tyranny and lawlessness, now hap- tl pily, and ho hoped irrevocably oqaea. i We still have, he said, tho difficult prob- j tl lem to solve, the most difficult political [ p problem ever offered for solution to any i v people by which a lately enslaved and j y newly enfranchised race are made co-cle- d ments with us in the body politic. v Ho admonished tho grand jury to think tl of the great solemnity of the responsi- p bility which rested on them well and n faithfully to discharge the duties of their b office in tho face of many purplexing dif- I ficnlties. a After pronouncing an encomium on p tho systom of trial by jury, Judge Hud- w son proceeded to givo the grand jury the h usual instructions. A Proposition Looking to the Union . of Chorch and Stnte. Wo ask tho attention of all lihertv-lov- " ing people to an article, taken from the j p Xnnlhevn rhrijttinn Artvnrafp. In which i f.' that paper says: "There is sufficient rca-1 tl "son in these facts to warrant our people {,' "in demanding of their Representatives j1; "in our State Legislature, to use our r< "money in such wayaaHhat it will not an- j ^ *'tagonize our influence and our interest J n <* "as Christian churches." | ^ From this expression it will bo seen J1, that the State, in his opinion, should be; *i subordinated to the church, and that the ||, church should be "willing to assume the ? duty naturally devolving upon the State hi to educate the youth of the country. ^ This idea, in a milder form, has been ad- ti vocated for some time by other champibns of denominational education, but in nowhere havo we seen such an outspoken opinion expressed. We yield to no it man in good-will for denominational colleges, but wo think when theso institu- I" tions of learning shall combine and ask \ the State to neglect her imperative and ** bonnden duty to the people of the Com- p, monwealth, because, forsooth the differ. ont churches are discharging their obli-jio gations to the children of the members .of their own religious faith by giving U?< them a denominational education, there j pi isa glaring inconsistency in the act, or '!1 else there ia a fearful assumption of power, ot It Is, beyond caval, the duty of the State to see to the education of her sons, regard- i>i loss of their religious bias, and she is unworthy the name if she, under any pre- tl text transfers the labor to others, and J* shirks that responsibility. 'Whilo this is 1:1 true ofthc State, it Is no less the duty of K', the church to educate her children than to instill into their minds and hearts her I tt own tenets of religious faith. J ? The assertion that the State, in the dis-1 ri charge of her duty,by establishing a Col. j ? lege for tho education of all her sons, ir- J l< ' respective of their religious faith, Is ! tl '^" surely without merit. On the same l> theso same churches, when tl SlF11 bo able to kill the j ^ Stale Coiloco, may with as much pro-; n eohibino to kill out any one of - ' tSigjb'-number that they may con-1 p relate ioie in their way, and tho remain-! ? Ik^ndmrormav again make a similar! ^oattblrimtjpn against the next victim, and ?p on until there shall be only one ' BBffP assert without any fear of 1 jSHflHHHHKion, that it matters not how 1 ^BHHMgMBominational colleges we may * pHnK furnish no excuse to the State t PtT dftrelbtion in this most important 11 duty. On the other hand, the State j j I ?hcaWU?*rn lessons of wisdom from the j ( ; cfeorobea which have sliown such coin- j ':&i'jtt&udnbte /eal in this important work, j1 & * . lad HKlonble her energies in this parth:- 1j The establishment of a denomina- j \ tional*J&flfcge for the purpose of teaching j a I nrftrlfis of relierious belief, in no if ? o [ way excuses the State from doing her j, j duty. j It is not to be denied, that the ] ' combined infiuonoe of tlie officers ofJ. j&tf&e denominational colleges, J has intfnenco in controlling the * Logislatioil of tlie State on this and kindred subjects. These, gontlem^n ] seem to liavo an exceedingly a tender regard for the pocket of the poor ? taxpayer, while they express a willing- a ness for the University to be opened, a provided it doesn't cost anything. They v have colleges of their own, you seo, and it makes little difference what becomos of others who do not want a denominational education. They must either be 0 - - d stuffed witft tneir own paria- ULt\i UDUVUi- | ^ inaLional tenets or go out of the State to tl be educated. *; When compared with other opponents of the University, wo can but admire the al open and manly couree of the A dvocate, ?5 in speaking his mind in plain and une- fo quivocal English, which may not be inis- ^ understood, while many have aligned to . tliprlliun their real reasons for opposing j T lie Stale in an elTbrt to discharge her ijjli responsibility in educating her 0I1S. It is said that we have colleges enough. J 'his we believo to be an error. We need I n Columbia, a college of a high grade of ducation where the Stat<> may bring to-1 ^ ;ether her young men, where all can acet on a common level, and where nerit is the true standard of a man's! forth. We are an activo people, and if j re do not keep pace in education, ourj iosition as an educated people will J ic one lower than that which she former- J v lickl. Lot the State university wi. losed, and tlio standard of education i 11J a. outh Carolina will lie lowered. The re-1 j,* ult will be that there will lie less de-Jtl land for ?'cnoini national ed neat ion. Ivbi-j ation grows upon what it feeds. The) V lore we have the more we want. Th(?i('(j possession of the boon bv one, stimulates j nother to seek it also. The more Col- J<), >ges we have, the more education thei,!] eople will demand. Competition is thej rj fe of business and in no business does! ?l manifest such good efforts as in the; in ilueational pursuits. As proof of this ... e need only to call attention to the fact; To f the many colleges that have sprung up 1 this State under tlie shadow of the rr outh Carolina College. The remarks in the article from the .l?l- j T ? --X , ?t:.j UC'llC aooiu ""Wllilicsuuiu iviii;u>u^ jII? [ruction'* in denominational colleges is erhaps more unfair than any expression { , lade in the article. It would seemingly |1,1 laim a decree of purity for denomina-j |(| ional teachings which tlio writer would.'* avo the reader believe does not exist in j ,i'; ther Colleges. This is unfair, and can j e justified onlv on the assumption of a ii * % ri rant of information on the subject. 1 t is a well known fact that tliere '? ;as no lack of Chritiau instruction in the ^ outh Carolina College, and thehighcharcter of the young gentlemen in attendnee upon itsex?-reises will bear us out in lie assertion Hint they wore as well bo-jfi aved as those in any of the denomina- 51 ional institutions. On the principle that t' eligious training was lacking in the L.< outh Carolina College, the editor of the!1' trfrocafc should oppose the common |ti ublie schools of the country. As a rule j ^ he teachers are selected for their fitness i n jrthc position, and not because of their i {} eligious faitlu The children of all delominations attend tho schools. The uestion of religion does not enter. Good Snorals and "simple faith" are taught. L{ 'here are no "denominational"' public Jv chools. As soon as a teacher should bo- j ir in to proselvte his or her scholars from I 1 : <1! lie failli of their parents, the teacher ci r'onld lose his situation. The Advocate t) iow proposes to throw a slur at thoSouth rc 'arolina College because it fails to do jF, hat which would not. bo tolerated for a | n iiomcnt in n common neighborhood I cliool. If denominational Colleges nrej<:( .hat their names imply?they toaclithojoi mets of their particular faith while im-I^J arting literary instruction. For this tv pason a Professor in an institution of " lis 'and is ehosen as mnchfor his zeal in w le faith as for his literary attainments.)^ We would be glad to sec this war on st jo State University ended.

The demand for denomiational education will not be lessened '* y the opening of the South Carolina ? fniversfly, but the probability is, that clucation would receivo such an imetns, that through generous rivalry, all1JU .'onId do better in the future than they ;i,l ave done in the past. v< or ^ ^ ^ h< 1 nc new r.ru in sunni vartnuuii [in From the yew York World. j The address of the Democratic State Com- , j littce of Sou t* Carol inn ought to satisfy .V von those Itepublleans who consentoil to thej^.J ollcy of conciliation with reluctance, for it , fijews the generous promises made in the . ist two platforms of the Democratic party in :ie State. The race issue is set aside in ex-1' ress terms. The common interest of the],7' eople in a good government is recognized, 1 ?d the committee claims the support of all len, white or black, who desire to see abuses j Kj . formed, the laws faithfully administered ~ nd the plunderers of the commonwealth unlshod. 'J'lie very fact that the party has 'nominated Gov.

It Is srdly possible that he should fail to secure }" re-election. He led his party through a ?1?

It is due to liim that the whole :-ople wiioin lie liberated from carpct-bag ' jminion should acknowledge tlie worth of ca Is services by honoring him with a second J"!' rin. The first election was in their own be- !" jlf rather than his; the second is for his lo, ike as well as their own. Losing few sup- j'"!! irtershewill doubtless gain many. As iie '' as been the sincere friend of thecolorcd poo- j le. they will be apt to show their gratitude j." i the only way in their power. I It is commonly assumed by the opponents j " universal suffrage that the poor and igno-1 !J' int parts of the community naturally array -J'," icniselves against the intelligent and pro<- " jrous, and that the possession of political :>wcr is decided by mere numbers. The j v' ?urse of events in South Carolina will test | ca lat matter effectually. There were never jl? i-rhaps so many elements of ignorance and '' vorty gathered into one community with ich strong temptations to organize ami so ] lany chances for obtaining control of the- SJ" Dverninent. We do not think that these }" lemen's, which failed to maintain them- ' Ives when marshalled by Northern adven- "r trers encouraged by Northern sympathy nd supported by the military power of the , ederul government, will even attempt to J? illy and strive for authority which they !l!, annot use wisely. On the contrary, the ig-j orant and the poor will be apt to follow the . iw of their nature and look for guidance to I P' lie Intelligent unit rich, and the latter, now I " " " 1 -. ill .V, liai OIltNlUC lnillll'IU'VK ?re wi 11...... e able to rulePouth Carolina whether they re in a majority, or not, for tlu-rc sire many nines in society that have weight besides tlie allot and tend to control ballots.

It is not so much a mat- er er of interest to theni at present who ( I laved the State as it is to keep the State ^ <afe. One class of politicians insist upon Jjj heir plan as being the only ono worth of laving, ancl another set pooh-pooli all >rograninies differing from theirs.

The milkman attempted to force his way through, but was tired upon by a citizen and driven ofl". The city undoubtedly brought the fever upon herself through not taking vutlicieiit. sanitary precautions. The impression prcvaI lent, apparently ail over the North, and even in New < irieans, that the disease did not originate in that city, is erroneous. It is commonly supposed that the germ of the fever was brought to the city in a ship from Havana. That the fever originated In New Orleans I have no doubt, and most of the members of the medical fraternity with whom I have con* versed are of the same opinion. Attlie time t lie fever began the lower portions of the city were reeking with tilth. There was insutliclent sewerage, and vtgetabieand animal matter was permitted to accumulate in the streets, which rapidly put rifled under the burning rays of the sun. (iantrs of men were hired by tlie city to clear the streets and worked fora few months, but as the dirt was scraped up in plies and not. removed all their Ml'Orwcni lor iiaugiii. ruiiwnit i wliero. The ulr was -laden with pestilential smells. The citizens often complained, hut tlie municipal authorities refused to heeil them. The epidemic was foreseen by a great many people. A physician predicted thai there would be yellow fever if proper sanitary precautions were not taken at least three months before the tirst case was reported. New Orleans, you know, is not noted for its cleanlincs, but at the commencement of the present epidemic it was in the worst condition I ever saw it. The lower classes of French and Italians and the da-roc* never attempt to keep their dwellings clcnn, ami as the city officers did not attend to it, garbage was allowed to lie in the back yards, cutters and streets for weeks, until the sun or rain disintegrated or putrefied It. When an epidemic had been declared by the board of health men were at once pul* lowork cleaning 1 lie tilth from the I city. Huge piles of it were dumped in Tivoli j Circle and other places and burned. Carbolic acid, lime and olher disinfectants were scattered m profusion over thecity; hut it was too late.

Is there sufficient demand for higher culture in the elements of an education to call fur this outlay of the money of the State? Will it pay? Will it not, contrary to the judgment of Mr. l)ibl>le, place the University in competition with the various existing colleges of the State? Will it not la-simply to organize an. other collejco in South Carolina? Will it not ho simply the state entering into rivalry with her own citizens in a work which they are doing without expense to the State. Our two leading Christian Communions, the two that compose the ?ro:it bulk of our voting population, have already well organized colleges for young men. The Methodists have Wotlbrd College, and the Ilaptists have the Kurman University, lies ides these, the Presbyterians have Adger t:ollegein' Walhalla the Associate Keformed C'huich lias Krskinc College in Abbeville County, the Lutherans have Xewberry College, while the Charleston ('oilego provides for the city and vicinity of the city of Charleston. We feel that there is In these facts, showing that the Christian churches of the Slate have already provided for the education of their | young, and are actively and successfully en-j gaged in tills work, we feel that there is suf-j llcient reason in these facts to warrant our] people in demanding ol their representatives I in ourState Legislature to use our. money in J such way as that it will not antagonize our intlucnce and our interestus christian churches. Aside from this material aspect of the ease, we hog to insist 011 the very great importance* of placing our youth, In Ihc formative period of life and character, under the direct influence of the Church. The wholesome Intlucnce of religions instruction and discipline ovcra young man at the ageat which lie.us-| nally enters college can not, he easily over es- j timaled. The many sources of temptation to ! evil open to young men at college need to he ! guarded againstbv the gospel of Christ.

' To the JCdilnr of the New* awl Courier: 1' As the <|tiosti<in iif graded schools is being * iigilatcd In n number of the towns In our C: Stale, and as information is sought sis to the R. mode of inaugurating, conducting and sup- " porting theni, afew thoughts on the suliject may lie of interest to your readers. Let me premise bysaying that tills article is not in- 11 tended for those who arenl ready familiar with '' the system through the medium of I lie ad- r< miranie institutions now in operation in v Charleston, but for others who have hereto- I1 fore been accustomed only to tin; old-faih- 1 ioned, unclassified schools, A graded school, " in general ierms, is one In which all the '' -- ' ? - -i.-.i.. .i.? a I?u}?iIs in 1110 same irrauc muu.? lesson, and cneh pupil si ml if s every branch embraced in I lie curriculum of his grade. J Hut in the popular acceptation at. present in ' South Carolina it seems to mean in addition ? a school supported partly hy pnh|ic funds J anil partly hy private means. The method of 1 classifying and coducting a graded school ' can lie learned from works on the subject. such as Wells on craded schools, or hy application to some of tiie principals of the excel- s lent schools in Charleston. In this connection tho writer would return hisncitnowledse- J liii'iits t o II. I'. Archer, Ksq., of your city, for : valuable suggestions on tliis very subject. As to the plan of organizing sucli a school ^ in any of the interior towns of the Stale, a ' fe.xr facts concerning one that is already in s i'ood work In? order may furnish some useful ' hints. In .lauuary of the present year the J pc.iplo of Winsboro' determined to utilize the *, school fund coming to the district of wihch the town is a part. 1'p to that time cduca- J t ion was < <mlined oniony 10 piivhw: r. u. of which liioro wore at least half a dozen, each dragging ont a precarious existence, while a considerable number of children woro not in attendance on any school. The public school trustees rented the buildings of the Mount Zi??n Institute, containing one large and two I' smaller olass-ronins. A male pranclpal and .' two lady assistants were employed. The school was thrown open to pupils of both j soxeswithin thosehoolasticago. TheKhglish branches and arithmetic were taught free of I ehariro. It was sat mi la ted that, pupils In the! higher mathematics, ancient ami modern languages and tlie sciences should pay a monthly fee of two dollars and a half. Three ' grades, reaching ns high no the "Third Head- j or." and embracing punilsof holii sexes, wore ' placed in one room. The remainder of the ; school was divided into fot.r grildos. The j hoys in these grades wore seated In the main j room, under tiie supervision of the principal. . wliilethe lady assistant had charge of the zirls in another room* Separate play-grounds were arranged for the sexes, and no tresspas- . simr was permitted, Hoth sexes recited together. the classes being marched from room to room under monitors. (Where the rooms J are contiguous tho monitors are not needcd.) The school opened in Kcbuary, and , nil parties interested awaited the result. , One hundred and fifty seven pupils wore J ^rolled the first month, and this nuni- ! her was maintained during the session, liie actual attendance averaging about one hundred and thirty. Of those bo- , tween twenty and thirty were instructed . in the extra branches. The experiment , has thus far succeeded admirably. The school, owing to the excellence attainable through Increased numbers, has been better tiian any of its predecessors for years, ami it has been found that tho presence of tin? two J sexes in the salnc class is most beneficial. ! each stimulating the other to renewed exer- , Hon. Parties living in the country arc mak- : ing preparations to send their children to ' town, and the increase will bo still larger j noxi year, ji is eoimuuiiiit> ji?/|./i:u m.n m- j time Mount Zion Tnsfitute will again become . a lloiTrivliini? academic school, with the pub- . lie school as a permanent feeder. The result J will be beneficial, not only In an educational , point of view, but also as regards the mate- , rial interests of the town. Kvcry pupil re- , tallied at home means a savins of a certain , sum of money to be otherwise expended. During the llrst five months the school was , supported from the public funds. For the next session it will rcccive-three hundred dollars from the Peabody fund, and the citizens . will subscribe two or three hundred more, , (bus securing, at a private expenditure of a few hundred dollars, a year's instruction of a . hundred and fifty pupils whose tuition fees ( under the old system would have amounted | to more than three thousand dollars! These | graded schools solve the problem of education | in poverty-stricken Sonth Carolina. Without , them, thousands will grow up in absolute lg- . noraneo. The above is the result of the experiment , In Wlnnslioro'. What Winnsboro' has done, . other towns can do, if the people are in ear- . nest and if competent tcachcrs arc employed. , Kor raising the necessary funds three sources exist. The amount supplied by the , school fund should be for a school of a linn- j dred and fifty pupils seven or eight hundred , ilolii>.rs. Three hundred or four hundred and . fifty may be secured from the Penbody fund. The balance can be raised by extra In it Ion and by private subscription. To maintain a , school of the above mentioned size at least j eighteen hundred dollars should be raised. j As to the manner of obtaining aid from the ( IVabody fund in formation can be hadona|>- , plication to Superintendent If. X. Thompson. , A few points connected with It may. however, be mentioned here. The trustees of the , fund will give three hundred dollars to every | public school of one hundred pupils main- , rained for ten months with an average at- ; tendance of eighty-five per cent., or four bun- j dred and fifty dollars for a hundred and fifty Mi!i>l!? tlir? cum/* tlmo with mi si vr?rsieri* fit h-nii- I i i " * x "" aneeof olirlity per cent., provided in each case that the current- funds from other sources are double the amount asked from the l'ea body fund. Application mustbemade at the beginning of the year 011 blanks furnished by the State superintendent of education. The promised amount will be paid at the end of the.- year on proof that nil thcconditions have been complied with. A few words in conclusion concerning the third source of revenue. It would be much better to revive. In incorporated towns, at least, the provision for a local school tax. than to trust to Individual subscriptions. Some argue that the school fund is already too large. Thai this isan error Is conclusively shown by comparison with other States. South Carolina raises a little over a dollar for every child within thescholastlc age. Many other Slates raise seven or eight dollars per capita, sqwul others from twelve to fifteen, while MaRwjeliusetls raises each year twentyone dollaWrorevery child within the prescribed ages. It, is absurd to say we pay too much, or even to hold 1 lint we raise anything likccnough. liesides.lt Is easier on the individual to pay a tax than pay tuition. A tax of four mills on ten thousand dollars Is required to raise forty dollars. Yet how many citizens worth not the half of ten thousand dollars now pay twice forty dollars a year In tuition fves? A local tax is tlie cheapest meansof raising money. Kvcry one is a ware of the abuse of the local tax during the days of Iiadica'ism. Hut it can beso hedged around with restrictions as never again to become a burden. The scheme is as follows: l.et it be confined to those towns in which graded schools arc located. Let the cxtrcmclimlt of the levy be fixed at, say two mills. I,eta vote of a majority of those persons paying taxes other than poll-tax bo re<|Ulrld to levy it. The taxpayers will then have the matter In their own hands, and cannot be compelled to pay the tax against their will. The restriction of tlie vote to a eortain class is perfectly legitimate. The Constitution provides expressly that no capitation tax, other than the poll-tax, shall be levied. This local tax is, therefore, to be paid only by those persons owning property. And as the poll-taxpayers are not aflccted by the levy of this extra tax, ,Ka" ' .loinoml n vair?* u'hllo If the tax Is levied, they arc benefited Indirect- [ iv through the superior advantages nflbrded ) of educatinc their children. Since It Is much | simpler for a town to levy a tax of five hun- ( dred or a thousand dollars than for the elti- , /.ens to subscribe that amount, an earnest f effort should be made to restore this tax with the limitations mentioned above. This ?] method is in vogue in a very larje number of , States. I It is needless to cry out against the public schools. They are a fixed fact. They are . cheaper than private schools, and can lie } made better. In perfecting the system,South | Carolina-will be marching abreast, not only f of every other State la the Union, but of , Germany ami other European nations. No J one In casting a glance overtheStateand see- , ing the largenurnber of children, born of cd- \ cated parents, now growing up in ignorance, will deny that we are relapsing, and that something must he done speedily to check this downward career. The surest remedy is; the organization of graded schools In all the towns in South Carolina. May their day be not far distant. K. M, D. 1 IIow can Harmony be Sccnrcd? The County Convention Thursday, the 22d, | was tlie most Inharmonious Democratic meet I Jig, of any kind, it has ever heen our for- t tune to see. Faction reigned supreme. Dem- ( ocrats were arrayed against Democrats in bit- | tor hostility. And for what? because one 'j set of delegates wanted C. II. Suber for the j Legislature and another wanted UeorgeJohn- c stone. An outsider would havesupposed that ^ only two men in Newberry Cofinty were fit to i go to the Legislature; and each faction acted f as if it thought the salvation of the County , depended on the election of its man. So in- i tense did this factious spirit become that pas- / sion usun>cd thcplaceof reason,and it finally f becnine necessary to adjourn the Convention, t to give the delegates and the people at large ^ time and opportunity for calm deliberation, j Now that, such opportunity is giren steps should at once bo taken to prevent a similar i occurrence.

Mil, Editor?It Is doubtless cxpccted by ' the public that I should make an announce- ? mentor the beginning of my school as n private enterprise by advertising in the pauer. I should have done so, before this date, had not much preferred Inaugurating a graded 1 system of free schools, and thus be able to i give much more thorough instruction than ! can be given in private schools of mixed ( I grades. IJesides the expense of graded schools I is less than half that of private schools. 1 As a number of gentlemen have requested mo to publish some account of graded ) schools, I give to-day a short and concise > view of the work hi them: 1st. The schools I arc classified according to a regular course of > study, such ns is seen In our college catalo- . ? I gues, except, that the studies and methods of I ' j Instruction arc adapted to the ages and prog rcss of the pupils. Thus we may grade nc' cording to tlie Heading classes. The first reader class will be taught arithmetic, geogra ph.v nnd spelling orally, together with slate writing and drawing, These studjes will not require books, as the school will be provided i with hiaps and blackboards. During the first - three years no text-books are used, except ir -readers. The pupils of the 1st grade are i taught by one teacher, those of the 2d grade - by another, and those by each succeeding f grade by separate teachers. Each of these can tench thoroughly from fifty to sixty pu1 plls, thus greatly reducing the cowtof tuition, 1 and increasing the eilicicncy of the instruci tion. i a is now proposeu to open wnrvt, is cnuea a f- Penbody Scnool, niul also to open subscriiv s tlons for the purpose of making the schools - free to nil white children until the 1st of .Tani! unry. by which time our City Council will he - able to secure the necessary legislation for the : establishment of a regular graded system. - Tills measure tvlll enable us to secure aid ? from the Tcabody Fund for the whole year. - If three hundred pupils can be securedatSl.OO per month, the sum will bo sufficient. to susr tain the schools for that number during the e year, and pay all incidental expenses, should e i this plan be adopted. It will bo evident to r-1 every one that all of the three hundred pus J nils will not be able to pay 61.00 per mont h, ir It will, therefore, be necessary for some to i-1 subscribe 82.00 or 83.00 per month, In order to n gccurc the amount required. Should this arrangement fall, it will be une derstood that I will open a private school and d Normal class in the Gaillard school buildimr i- on September 1st, and an announcement will >f be found in the papers at that time, y ltcspcctfully, II. T. MORTON. e >. ? ll .? The Best of Family Bibles. >v The Secretary of tlio American Bible Soclo! ty recently remarked that In spite of the | great number of Bibles annually sold in the 11: United States, there are not half enough Hibles published. There are thousands of j" homes in our hrond land in which not a sln'> gle copy of the Sacred Scriptures is to be 1 found. T Appreciating this great need, the National y i Publishing Company of Philadelphia, Chica!r go, St. Louis and Dayton have Issued one of ?| the most attractive and superb editionsof the | Hib'.e ever published, and with the liberality that has characterized all their enterprises J11 have Issued it In the most elegant styles ot ' binding, ami at prices which bring it within :L' the reach of every family. ,r To the text of the Bible Is added a scries of b remarkable and unusually attractive featl(] ures, which render this edition Invaluable to y every Christian household. Foremost among rt' these is Dr. Smith's Dictionary of the Bible, '* which is admitted by all denominations to be IS: the best Hlblc Dictionary ever published. We IC j have next a scries of succinct and carefully - j prepared accounts of the various religious dc0 : nominations of the world, their history and y I teachings. The Life of the Saviour and the lc | Lives of the Apostles are brought forward ? | prominently, nnu in sucn n manner as 10 oe ' J of greatservicc to every reader of the New lj'| Testament. The Wanderings in the Wilder J, ncss, and the Tabernacle and Temple arccrit1(11 Ically and admirably described. A scries oi j,? ; Scripture illustrations ntl'ords comprehensive explanations of the Manners and Customs ol ' [the Ancients, of Biblical Antiquities, Sconn ery, Natural History, etc. The city of Jcrusui lein is also described with great minuteness. 10 Then follow a large nuirfber of chronological J"! and other valuable tables designed to proft, mote and facilitate the study of the Sacred >- Scriptures. These tables are so numerouiI<! j that we have not space to name them, dj The book is magnificently illustrated with [r I superb engravings by the great artist, (jusIt tave Dore, and with a large number of ex[v j quisite steel engravings. Of course in a fanii I* | ly Bible much depends upon the illustrations, <i | and the publishers of this voli mi have cm11! bclllshcd their Bible with a taste and liberal!| tv that deserve the highest praise. The nddi Pjtional matter contaiiis over 2,000 beautiful | engravings, executed In the highest style oI 'r the art. These engravings are genuine workf d i of art, and were made at a cost of over $30,000. s i The great nuniberatid high character of tliesi w} engravings make this the most valuable art 'i i publication of the century. 's i The Family Record and Marriage Certificate c 1 arc beautiful sppcimensof lithographing, ami 1 at theclosc of the volume Is a handsome I'ho>*.: tograph Album, with rootu for sixteen pori. trails, a very desirable feature in a work oi ' tills kind. f I Every intelligent person knows that, the exj cellenco of the binding of a book depends up'e | on Its neatness ami durability. A Bible ma.v y be very showily bound, and yet put together I sotllmslly that It will come to pieces in a few r- j years. Although covered with showy stamps, e and apparently well bound, the work may be si, done in s'uch a loose and UKSubstautial manIf i ii-KI, nnIv nnllnnrv Imniilitifr the T?l } Mi' will crack iiiul finally fall to pieces.

It would be Impossible to V | devise a system by which greater care could s be given to the manufacture of a hook, or by ' which the Interests of subscribers could be d I more carefully guarded.
