Although some five or six columns or our first page arc taken up with the discussion of the schools In White Hall township, yet we "believe the real cause of the trouble was not even hinted at l>y any of the parties to this discussion. The fact is, that the school fund for White Hall township, like the school fund Jn every other township, is totally inadequate to supply the number of schools that, are actually necessary, and yet in the face of these circumstances the School Commissioner issues his orders fixing the maximum pay of teachers at $25,00 a month, instead of S'20.00, as heretofore. This act, as a matter of course mustcutofiT the school facilities in the proportion as ?20 is to S2G. Even the White Halll school term would be greatly rcduced by this j act, but when it was proposed to open two **ehoolsat ?J5 each, the Trustees were compelled to offer some reason for refusing the Is'ew School, other than the increase ot pay to the same teacher which they had last year. It the School Commissioner had fixed the maximuu pay of teachers at Slo, the Trustees doubtless would have granted the New school. As the Lord helps those who help themselves, so the Government ought to be willing to help those who are willing to help to educate their own children. The Peabody fund is given only to those who help themselves. Then why should one set of men be allowed to appropriate all of tho public school fund, while others are denied any at all ? The people on the East side of Hard I^ibor proposed to supplement Government aid. but it seems that the Trustees of the township preferred not to give any eneouragement to those who wore willing to help themselves. Even if they liad given the S5 a monlh which the Trustees have thrown away on any single teacher in the raising of his salary, the people cn the East side would have less reason to be dissatisfied. It seems to cs now when cotton is polling at .seven or eight cents, and when goods are , , cheaper than they ever wc-re before, that it is absurd to talk of voluntarily -raising the pay of teachers. The Idea that the same teacher is a better teacher this year merely because he receives Ave dollars a month more than he did last year is little short of idiotic. 80 impressed were the Trustees of the Abbeville towushlp that this is a bad year to raise salaries that they contract to pay only S20a month as In former years. They took this action because of their fidelity to the interests of the children, and because the limited amount of money in the public treasury would not warrant them in squandering five dollars a month ,on .each teacher. The Abbeville teachers 1 therefore draw from the public only 820. .If the School Commissioner had fixed the 'maximum pay of teachers at Slo a month, the .??atrons of the White Hall and the patrons of the New School on Hard Labor would have cheerfully madeup from private contributions -enough additional money to satisfy their respective teachers, and all this vexation would :Imve,fceen avoided. Abbeville to Athen* mill Atlanta. At tbelast session ol the Legislature an net was passed to Incorporate the Chester, Green.vrood &. Abbeville Railroad Company. The churter empowers the Company to extend the railroad to the Savannah ltiver in the direction of Elberton, Georgia; and to extend the railroad by way of the town of Clinton to the .town of Chester, and thence to the North Carolina line in the direction of Monroe, North Carolina. At the last session of the Georgia legislature a charier was graded to construct 11 railroad from Athens to the Savannah River, through Elberton or Ilart county. This is Abbeville's opportunity. Will she take advantage of it ? We invite attention to a correspondence on l tb's subject published in our columns this mornings part of which appeared in the AthN?ns and Elberton papers. We hope it is the) beginning of a successful enterprise. We fe*-l ! .sure that Abbeville will agree to build the j frnm Mils imvn to the Savannah River.; Jf our Athens and Elherton friends will join j Jiands wifcb us on the banks of the river it i Arill then be in order for our Greenwood {friends to extend the line from Abbeville to Greenwood; and Clinton, Chester and the -other towns aml-coiin ties along the road will .earry the lino on-to Monroe. Thus can be constrHcted the great trunk line between the >Tortto and the South, which will afl'ord Abbeville the railroad facilities she needs and all ,sbe wants. I The gentlemen who are conducting corres- j ( pondeuce with4heprominent citizens of this .and other counties along the route of the pro posed report most favorably of t!i j prospects. .A?moetiiHy of- delegates from the towns and oouiUlesantarefited will soon be calleu.

But wherever the meeting may t?e held, let it come off soon, and let it be a rousing railroad revival meeting.

THE GREENVILLE CONVOCATION. An Interesting Report, of the l?ro 11 itmiv - " ? < I According to previous announcement this < Con vocation met at Trinity churcli. Abbe- ' vilie,on March 17. < The following lay and clerical delegates were < present: 1 The Rev. E. L. Joyner, of the Church of our < Saviour, Rock Ilill. < Rev. Ellison Capers, of Christ Church, Green- ' ville. ! Rev. Thns. F. Gadsden, of Grace Church, An- i derson, and St. Paul's, Pendleton, with Mr. J Gaillard as lay delegate. t Rev. J. D. McCullouch. of tiie Church of the 11 Incarnation, Gatt'ney, and Calvary Church, H Glenn Springs. ] E. C. Logan,Church of the Advent,Spartanbursj, and Weltord Mission < Rev. John Gass, St. John's Church, Wlnns- I boro. 1 Rev. McXeely DuRose, Church of the Natlv- i ity, Union. I Rev. A. G. Ottman, Church of the Good Shepherd, York, with Mr. S. L. Lowry as lay I delegate. ' Rev. \V. II. Hnnckel, Trinity Church, Abb"- ' ville. and st. Luke's. Newberry, with \V. II. : Hanckel and W. C. Benet as lay delegates. I It will be seen from the above, that only a portion of the churches of the Diocese were represented; the Greenville Convocation embracing only the churches in the upper belt of the State. It has no legislative powers and | its design is to bring together representatives j of the churches, clerical and lay, for the purpose of religious communion, and material instruction, and for securing more united action in prosecuting missionary work and building up the church in lis most holy faith. Alter morning prayers the opening sermon was preached by the Rev. (J. A. Ottman, of York, from John x.\i, 1G, "Feed my Sheep." The sermon was a beautiful commentary on the t>jxt; distinguished by clearness of thought and appositeness of illustration; drawing lessons of encouragement to the Christian pastor from the circumstances, under which the command was uttered; the presence of the risen Lord who had just crowned the fruitless toil of the nisht, with the miraculous draught of fishes; and setting forth the ground of the Christian hope, that doubt and discouragement must melt, away before the promised blessings of the coming dawn. The convention then proceeded to business and amocg other matters, passed a resolution fixing the time of the future meetings of the Convocation for Thursday evening, when the opening sermon shall be preached; providing (Hill Ull! Jir.-l'UIJX bllitll fllillllUX Uli: imiun Sunday; and directing that miseionary ser- t vices should be appointed by tlie Dean, to be 1 held at neighboring points. J ?The sermon at 8 o'clock in the evening was preached before a large audience by the Ilev. ( Ellison Capers, of Greenville, in his usual eloquent and impressive Myle irom Matthew xiii.o'J, "Whence hath this man wisdom and these mighty works." The grand old hymn. "All hail the power of Jesus nauie.""fonned the key-note of the sermon, which portrayed in graphic style the divine lineaments of the great original, and set lorth the mighty works I which throughout nil ages have manifested J the divine power of the Saviour, and established his kingdom upon earth. I' On Thursday morning, an able essay was 11 read by Mr. McXeel.v DuHose, 011 "The proper j; proportion of Christian giving," in which then essayist, by cogent arguments drawn from j < reason and the history of the Jewisn and I Christian churches, and from the example 1 even of heathen nations that the minimum ^ consecrated to religious uses should not be 1 less than one-tenth of our income. Mr. Gadsden, one of the anoointcd speakers ! 1 sustained the same view, whilst Mr. llanckel 1 the other speaker, thought that we.shoukl not t be bourn) by any proerustoan rule, but follow -v the law of love. Quite a diversity of opinion 1 was elicited, but alter all it was generally coneedcd that it was a matter for the individual conscience, enlightened by the teachings of the Divine Word, and prompted by the love of the Divine Saviour. At 8 o'clock a very able and impressive sermon was preached by the Ilov. E. L. Joyner, of Rock Ilill, from Luke xix, 37, 'Jesus of! Nnr.areth passeth by," in which lie urged the| richness oi tne gospel offer, and the necessity of immediate acceptance. On Friday morning the subject of "Pa-, rochial Missions," was ably presented in the j essay of Mr. Joyner and cave rise to a very ; animated discussion. Mr. Logan seconded) the views of the essayist as to the importance i of the work, whilst Mr. Capers thought that some (Linger might arise from misdirected zeal in the matter. The debate was quite an I interesting one, and was participated in by j Mr. Joyner, Mr. Hanckel, Mr. Parker, Mr. j Benet and other delegates, clerical and law. j The old officers were re-elected. Mr. McCul-, lough, Dean; and the offices of Secretary and j Treasurer being divided, Mr.Capers was elect-1. ed to the first and Mr. Gass to the second. ) The subject first on the list for discussion at. the next meeting of the convocation is that; of "Free Pews." with Mr. Capers as essayist,' and Mr. Hanekel a? alternate. The subject; next on the list is "Sermons, with or without I ritii n nur*ri of. in f.h?* lipHvpi'v." I The next- place nf meeting of tlicConvoca- ' tion was appointed for York, the tlinc to be! ' fixed by tlie Dean. < The thanks of the Convocation were tender- J ed to the people of Abbeville, to which Mr. i Parker made a tilting response. j J At 8 o'clock in the evening, the church was j' filled, to hear a strong and impressive ser-|? mon from the Rev. John Gaiss on the "Power! ; of Conscience." in which t l?o earnest speaker] J enforced his appeals to the heart, and mind of J the hearer, by the sanctions of the Divine j I Law and the power of Divine Grace. Is The Convocation was a very inierestingand ' instructive meeting, and theVervices at. night' I were especially interesting to large aud ap-!, pieciative audiences. j' Call for a Convention of Farmers, j j To the Fanner* of Abbeville Count'/: l I As the farmers throughout the state are or- > < gnnizing for the advancement of their own < interests and promotion ot their welfare itj seems to undersigned that, this is a proper time for the farmers of Abbeville county to take like action.

A reporter of the Xcivs and Courier had r ong tillk yesterday with Mr. George W. Williams, president of the Carolina Saving: Uank, in regard to the reduction of the capita' >f the National Hanks in this city. When tsked what, in his opinion, would be the ef facts of the reduction of capital and the can sos of reduction, Mr. Williams said: I regard the reduction of i he capital of the National Banks at this time as unfortunate ir many respects, as it will create the impressior that iho business of Charleston is declining ind thai. :here is not a profitable use for bank nig capital here, which is not the fact, as is shown by the dividends, and the lame sur jlus now held by ihe banks, amounting it Jus aggregate to Sfl.7?,0W).

Hut foi these timely sources ol' iclief the eommercia interests of Charleston would indeed be iu i ieplorable condition. ' All admit that the National Bank Act, es tablishing banks, has given us the safest am best banking system that this country hai rver had. But National Hanks were wa: measures, created to make a demand for gov eminent bonds. That object has been fullj accomplished, and the banks are no longer i national necessity. The day is not far dislan [ am sorry to believe, when we shall have i National Hank left.

March 11, 1880. - j To the Editor of the Columbia Register. 11 Dear sir? I enclose you a Circular, aildrcss' j ed to the soldiers of the State, who by reason ": of injuries received in the late war are unable > j to eat n a II vHihood. a recent Act of the Gen1 ! erai Assembly having imposed upon the Com p4 i troiier-Gener.il the duty of ascertaining and ' | reporting to the next session of the Legisiai! ture the names and condition of all such citi' 1 zens of the State. I have no right, of course j to ask the free publication of this notice, but ? the Legislature having appropriated no mon , ey to defray t he expenses of carrying out the 1; provisions of the Act, there is no way in 5 j which I can reach those who are interested, unless tiie newspapers of the State will gener) ously publish t he Circular. l| Very respectfully, ' i W. E. ^toney, Comptroller-General. - j [Circular.] j" | Office of Comptroller-General, Columbia, S C\, March 11, hsse. ,. tj The General Assembly, at It last session, , passed an Act instructing the Comptroller General "To investigate and report to the .1 .mvi uwiiinn /if iim (intiftral Assembly the f namesiind condition of till citizens of this! . j state who are unable to earn ii livelihood by - reason of wounds or other disabilities incurrs ed while in the service of the stale during the i ! war between the Stales." i | In order to carry out the provisions of this j (Act, the Comptroller General has prepared blank forms oi application and sent the same ,; to the Clerks of Court, from whom they may - be obtained, and he requests that all citizens - of the State embraced within the provisions , of the Act, will as soon as possible forward to f him their names wilh all of tho information i remit red on the blank.

Means Davis, chairman executive pomi1 mittce Free Trade Association of South Caro-' 1 | linn. -1 Pear Sir?Your favor of the 4th Inst, is to | - hand ami its contents have received my seri-j i ' ous consideration. While theoretically a free . trader, believing that every man should have j the right to buy where hf* can buy cheapest] i and sell where he can sell dearest, I am not j . j prepared to say that free trade is practicable ' ;, or desirable at this time. I am not prepared j i to say that the burden of direct taxation by' t which the revenues of the government would i' j have to be raised, if we had absolute free j f j trade, would not be greater upon a state situ-., ated as South Carolina now is, than if I lie I' .; revenue should be raised under a just and ?! wise taritf on imports. j i t I tun, however, heartily in accord with tne -1 objects of your association in securing: a re vis- j 1 ion of the present Iniquitous tariff arid in se- i f eurins "a tariff" for revenue only." I know ( 1 f hat some southern cotton manufacturers favor such a tariff, and I helievc it will Iks to their interest to do so. The pressure of busi! ness now upon me as a member of congress, j and which is likely to nxist for some time, : - . renders it impossible for me to fix any speeif! ie time at which f can have the honor of dis- , T j fussing these matters with my constituents, j but I shall avail myself of the earliest oppo?J! tunity of doing so, Respectfully, W.
