It is not her duty to assume the whole ?J nagement of Education, nor is It desirable , it Education mould be free. Free Educa- ' it as we understand the term amounts to a iul and political evil; itcorrupts the parent debilitating his sense of responsibility, 11 1 thereby deprives tliechiid of that sympa , to which it is entitled, and Which none {j! parent can feel. Do we not see this ef- 11 t already produced in our midst. .Men who isider the State as alone responsible fortlie icatlon of their children, it seems tome H ,t legislation is absolutely important as to j1 iv these evils can becorrected, and how this 1 id should be expended. This fund us we 11 ;e seen is not suQiclcntly large to meet the !' nand, and some system ought, if possible J1 je adopted that would draw out the latent J1. isesso'" our people, and .stimulate every cf- , t however weak and teeble, that looked to ! establishment and malntainance of good ft ools, this fund is sutlleleiitly large for this 11 rposc. Some system like tho following I?1 ght be successfully operated: Let schools filiating In the lelt wants of the peoplo be l! anized fn every community by the pat- c.is who shall elect trustees for their particuschools, through whom all the business of i school shall be transacted, let them can- -1 :? tho neighborhood, and ascertain whatLM ount can be mixed for the support of thefP ool.aiidthc number of children that will end. I/ft the amount be raised, and report- , to the township trustee*, who shall enter )v 0 a bargain with the local trustees, with I " nilailons and requirements, one condition | rays being that the school shall continue session ten months, and another that com-j1 ?nt teachers shall be cm ployed.

G. 13, Lorlng, M. 0., from ( nssachusetts In an address before the Ku-jJ au of Kducatlon, says: "Not many months i1 :o a competitive examination of candidates I ] r admission to West Point was instituted In !' iy district.

I do not use this as an argument or I em see how untenable it .would tie a* ucli but I use it as an illustration.

We may bo disposed to attach too uicli blame to the institution, and not enough lie Individual, but thefact remains, that from II these colfc.-ges. men come forth poorly prcared for the demand, that society, and the tnte makes upon them. These colleges arc ecoming numerous, and from this cause, omblned with others, two e/rocts may txj exected to follow. First the depression of the Landard of education so as to allure students 3 their halls, andnext the preference of what ! ostentatious and attractive to what is solid nd substantial. Then too, we see the petty alousies that arise whenever the State Unlerslty is mentioned, and we think it mounts to want of foresights, for nothing fouldaccrue, in my opinion, moro to tlie in. rest of these colleges than the establishment f this Institution of learning; add this brings s naturally to NOTICE IN THE LAST PLACE lie great .necessity for higher education. In all uman enterprises the order of nature must vJ?rnninuHrt not tfnvv iin to thn lountalns, but down from the mountains. Unlit does come from above." With due ifTerenccs to those who think diflbrentlj'.) .nd wo might as well have tried to start our lied up streams this summer with our town uglne, or furnish "light nbove the brightness f the sun," as to enlighten and refine society, y any system of graded or free public schools 'hllethe higher Institutions of learning, are sft to feblenossand wants. Another has said Let the sun in the heavetys lo rule the day ud he will kindle the lesser lights to rule the ight. Ihiild up vonr University endow it. Ivo it power to help the needy and they will lucate the people; any other plan will lower ic standard, and what we gain In extension e lose in elevation. Let graduates go from ur Ideal institution.- Into every county; let 10 people see what education can do for a inn, and every right minded graduate will [ come a neueleus around which will iitlier in crystallne beauty,influences radiant lth light, and suggestive of reform. There m be nojust estimate of the advantage to ny community, of liberally educated men, it less he be dissolute or immoral, he will elfate those about him. The Influence he ex t-S who can calculate, even theproperty of a elghborhood, Is enhanced in value, by eduitcd men living In it, for who Is not attracti by refined society and other blessings continent upon education. C'au we not see if lese things be true, what an Impetus It ould give toeducation in our .State? If this istltutfon could be placed upon a flrm foundlion, how It would build upourlocal colleges nd schools by boys preparing to enter Its nils ? Is it not wonderful that this of all oth questions has gotten to be the play, thing r the demagogue, as he dallies with the dear uople? Does it not show a deplorable state r society when men can be duped with such lallow pretences; and the weali kneed arc rrald to raise their voices in Its defence for arthecry will be raised. "You wanttoeduite the rich at the expense of tne poor." Let man examine the statement and it falls into othlng by the merest examination. I canot forbear using rather a common placo 11istratlon. In a controversy with the husband of one of jr lady teachers in this township, he made w> t-nmnrir fhnt lie imld his taxes and was lerefore entitled to a school for his children, suggested to him that If this was the ground pon which he proposed to take the managelent of the schools out of the hands of the ustees, that it would be cheaper to refund Is money together with taxes paid by all le contemplated patrons of the Intended thool. He refused at oneo to accedo to this Ian, and I ascertained by a rough estimate tat the taxes paid into the treasury by the utrons of this school did not. exceed fifleon ullars. So we can sec by a practical lllustraon that tills tux paying business is, if the repression is allowable a vote catcher for the emagogue; aye, but some will say I oppose le opening of the Unlrcrsity from principle, his Is easy to say but hard to prove by any uind logic, that a man would oppose from rlnciplc what would be a blessing to him iid Ills children. For those who cannot see iat nn educated class Is a public good, and ho are open advocates of barbarian Ism, we ave no argument, Have we not those around s who are competent to take professors lialrsin our University, who are wasting icir energies, or If the expression bo too rong, dwarfing their powers, by teaching 40 r.jO young men, when their intluenccand xatnple If It Imd wider range would shed a hallow of light" Into every nook and corner four Utile state. And we mustnotloso ght of the fact that we are few In numbers, nd but a speck on the man of this Great lieubllc, and our only hone for the future is to jar a race of giants, who shall stand up for ur rights, fearlessly, nnd breustall the storms lot are In store for us. We can only hope to old the oncc proud position we occupied ns State by the genius of our statesmen and ic character of our people. Have we lost all iitrlotlsm? Can we look back upon our past Istory without a feeling of pride? And shall n be deterred from our purposo to build up ils once proud school, by the prating of demgogues who care for nothing but themselves. < It not absolutely necessary thut the eyes of ur people shall be opened to see tho Jittlepss of these chronic- politicians ? The eollege lirlllg h.s exisience was Rsiiurre 01 pruir iu lie State and nlftst of our public men were rnduated from its halls. Was it not the asiciatlon here that constituted the unity of liought and feeling that was ho characteristic f South Carolina In days that are past. To imc this wns thought to be wantof trucmannesH, but can we notsee the want of oneness f purpose, amongst our peoplo to-day. Is It otof all things most desirable that this Inlltution wee need so much should bo relnLntcd and perpetuated. I)r. Thorn well In his notable letter to Oov. lnnnlng, says: "There ought Purely to be ime common ground on which men of the une State may meet together and feel that ley arc brothers. Soinecpinmon ground on Milch their children may mingle without intrusion or discord and bury every mean nd selfish interest in the sublime sentiment iat they belong to the same family.

Grunt tlic benefit of the vote of New York and Pennsylvania, his entire vote, so far, Is 29S, or Ml votes less than a majority of the entire number of delegates, which Is 750. The votes which are lacking can be had, although adesparate tight is innkbig to prevent i ItI Gen, Grant from getting the 4*2 votes of Illlnlos, but thegreatestdangerof the third-term | . j movement lies In the break in New York and ] fl Pennsylvania. After tin; declaration made j In the New York Senate on Friday, it is safe to assume that a part of the New York delegation will not voleforGrant. The Philadelphia j| Timet has a dispatch from New York, in which It is asserted that 21 of the delegates from New York will positively be divided be- ^ tween Blalneand.Sherman. in Pennsylvania the rift Is broader and longer. The careful Washington correspondent of the Springfield Republican says there is no doubt that Hlalne -ft ls the real choice of an overwhelming majority of Pennsylvania Republicans -in somedis- }fei tricts almost the unanimous choice. That no room may be left to question tills fact, the XT, Blaine managers arc holding mass meetings, I ** calling the county commissioners together, se-1 curing tho passage of resolutions, protesting | against their district delegates voting for any-1 body but Blaine, and otherwise helping on the I lie Blaine bobm. They have even gone so far as I Bill to obtain In one ease a written pledge from a | ?nti delegate that he will vote only for Blaine,and A there have been for some time mysterious ? hints about some action by the delegates before the Convention that will knock the Grant! I K/inm nniltnion or* (Acnnolr ThA Rlninn fnpn I 1.1 declare that they are absolutely sure of at out of the 58 votes, and If an attempt Hhould be | M made to enforce the unit rule, tiicy say that j ? enough more will Join these original 20 to make a majority of the delegation and record Its whole vote for Blaine. Take from the VJ8 votes we have allowed Gen. Grant 21 secedorH In New York and 20 In Ponnsyl vaijlaund give these 41 votes to Blaine, and (Jen. Grant will liavo 2.77 votes agulnst 207 votes for Blaine. Under such circumstances Gen. Grant would be defeated. ThcThlrd-termers are undoubtedly alarmed. The N.w York Ilcrald's Washington corres| pondent reports that they do not conceal in private conversation that the game is jjolng j against them. The failure of the ex-President, j the other day, to secure the solid vote of I Georgia wus a startling disappointment to j ! them and a complete surprise. The result in [ A1 j Mississippi, where he lias broken down, the j , report generally believed at the Capital that I ho will get only eight of the fourteen South' Carolina delegates, und tlio utter falluro of 'the third-term movement in Wisconsin?all j combined to depress their hopes. They say I C u i that all now depends on Illinois, to which j J Suite Gen. Logan has been sent for the sec-jllai oud time to try to arrange matters. If tbo tun | ex-President should fall to get a largo major- nlti i lty of the Illinois delegation with Instructions, dor ' there are some Third-termers ready to advise i ban I him to withdraw. plot The chief hope of tho anti-Grant men rests pro In the accumulating evidence that the sue-! goo ' cess of the third-term scheme in thenomina-l tlon would mean the failure of the Republican pnrty in the election. "If proofs of this "contiuue to multiply during the next thirty "days, as they have during'tho last month, it t. "does not seeiA possible that Cameron or , "r'nnlilinn' r>r I.nimn mu Dorsnndo tlie dela "gallons from their Slates to come up solidly 1 | "for a nomination that means defeat In au- I Vvonce. Even the Southern delegates will I "stwlnk from a nomination which threatens ?f "the loss of all chance at the offices, and no- " "body takes much stock In theblndlnjccharae"tcr of Instructions or pledges u pontile sort of "cattle that will go up to Chicago from that ' "section to help choose a candidate." As the danger of Grant diminishes the danger of y . Blaine increases, and to many lie- I I publicans heis atlcastas objectionable as the I{ ex-President. But the men who support Mr.! , Blainelovoandadmirehlm. Therelsgenulne > enthusiasm for Blaine, while therein noneforc ' Grant. It is expected that Blaine will go Into the Chicago Convention with 250 delegates who will vote for him first, last an always, Bri and the carpet-bag fraternity will certainly l|>r: rush over to Blaine If they cannot get Grant. l"e The Grant managers, however, hate Blaine, cjo? and there are Indications that some of the scandals of his pupllc life will be revived by the Grant organs, which have already opened flro on Sherman. This will mako the road easier for the Democratic candidate. At this moment the probabilities are that neither i Grant, Blaine nor Sherman will receive the ' coveted prize. Whether the candidate will be Washburne, or Klsh, or Harrison of Indl- PIT ana, or Garfield of Ohio, or some ono who has AH not yet been mentioned, Is mere guess-work. It would be a pleasent sensation forthecoun- Tt, try to have Bayard and Hamilton Fish as the orij opposing candidates, with the certainty In cither caso of Just and respectable govern- ?|g ment. {,01 j ? the MAHKKT REPORTS. _G liL CORRECTED WEEKLY BY B.
