Public schools exist in Germany, 7Great Britain, France, Aus tria, and almost every other nation in Europe, in every State and Terri tory of tfce United States, and we believe aleo in South America. It ia . the system of the world, and this Htate is only keeping abreast with the times. The only thing then is to perfect the system by an increased levy. It ?a fifty per cent, cheaper at least thair any private system could' be, and being an Organized syetem, is capable of greater development. But to return to our more particu lar proposition, Edge?eld mutt have a Giad?d School. And to the end o .ubserving the highest-the educa* tional-interest of our community, we shall, in the c urse of the next fortnight or tLjpee weeks, visit one or more very successful Graded Schools, in person, lor^he'.purpose of becom ing fully acoji^nted with th?ir plan aid workings, and of thus being bet: er j able to advocate the cause before our people. .

Shot Down In a Railway Depot in Washington City-A Fanatic Stal wart Republican. Fires the Vile Mis sile Which Nay Result Fatally-The President Thought to Be Dying, Then Rallies and ls Better. [Iii/ Telegraph to the Chronicle ] WASHINGTON, D. C.. .Tuly 2 - President Garfield was shot thiB morning at the Baltimore and Poto mac Depot, while on bis way to New England. He received one ball in the arm and one. between the hip and kidneys. Five physicians are in at tendance, and have probed for the ball without Bttccess. He is danger ously wounded, but may recover. How and By W Lora lt Was Done. The shooting was done*by a ale? ar man, about five feet Seven inches .n height. He refused to give bis name, but it is said by persons who profesa to knovf him that'his name is G nit eau, and that he is ?x-Consul to Marseilles. The mau was arrested immediately and carried^ to police headquarters and subsequently re moved to-jail. The shooting occurred io the la lies' room of the depot, im mediately after ths President had entered, walking ara in arm with Secretary Blaine, on their way to the limiteds express train, which was about ready to leave. Secretary Blaine, on hearing the pistol shots, two in cumber^ rushed in the direction from which they came, with the view ot arresting the assassin. Before reach ing the;man,\he noticed the President fall and returned to him , and lifted him up. Both shots took effect, the first in the right arm and the second just above the right, hip, arm .and near the kidneys. Physicians probed for the balle unsuccessfully. Two companies of regulars were ordered from the barracks, and'have been posted around the Executive ?d"an ?ion. There is great excitement, and the streets are thronged with anxious inquirers, eager to learn the condi tion of the President. The shooting occurred in the presence of fifty or sixty ladies. The President has been made as comfortable *as possible, and all per sons excluded, from'the grounds. The President is conscious, and does not complainof great suffering. It is impossible to say as yet what ihe re suit will be, but surgeons are oi opinion that the wounds are not necessarily fatal. The man who did the shooting is Cuartea t-ruiteau, attorney at law, at Cnicago. He-is a foreigner by birth, and h .s been a very persistent ap plicant for a consulate, ! which was refused him by the President. He ca6 haunted the Executive Mansion for two or three weeks, and his not getting what he wanted is believed to have resulted in temporary aberration of mind. Guiteau's Confession. Jr:.Y2, 18SL- Taine WhiieEouse: The Presidents tracie death was a ?ad necessity, but. ir. will unite the Republican party and save the Re public. . Life ia a ilitnay dream and it matters little when ene goes. A hujian life-ii small value. During the war thousands of brave 'noys went down without a tear. I presume the President was a Christian, and that ho will bedtappier in Paradise than here. It will be no worse tor Mrs. Garfield, dear soul, to part with her husband this way than by natural death. He is liable to go at any time any way. I had nS ill will toward the President. His death was a po litical necessity. I am a lawyer, a theologian and a politician. I am A stalwart of the .Stalwarts.

From what he has gathered fi om the police, Andrews belie^a that Gnitean s home in in Free- rt, Xiii nois. The following 1?*: .. was found on the street- s\~. after Guiteau's j arrest: (Envelope unsealed and ad dreFsed to General Sherman or his First Assistant in charge of the War Department^ I have just shot the President.

Very respect fully, CHARLES QTJITEAU. The Examination Saturday Afternoon. WASHINGTON, July 3.-The exam ination, yesterday afternoon, disclos ed the fact that the bullet entered the President's body between the tenth and eleventh ribs, on the right side of the spinal column, and, pass icg forward into and through the lower end of the right lobe of the liver,.finally lodged in the anterior portion of the abdomen. The advis ability of probing the President's wound for the bullet was carefully considered a' consultation of his phy sicians, at H o'clock yesterday after noon, and it was there determined not to make any attempt to extract the ball, owing to the fact that the reaction which should follow the ?hook of injury had not taken place, and, besides, great fears were enter tained al that hour that th? President would not rally. Careful but deli cat? examinations rusde later in the afternoon revealed tue fact that the ! location of the ball, as determined, ? waa such as to make aoy effort for its removal unwarranted. Tuis morn inc thc physicians decide that no ef fort will be made at present to ex tract rh-? ball, as its presence iu thc location determined does not neces Sirily interfere with th? President's trtiaiare recovery. We are obliged, for want of space, to omit th* thousands of telegrams ! ? j and bulletins sent out from Wash- ; inp;ton on Saturday, Sunday and Mon day, and most be content to lay be fore our reader? one or two of Mon day night: threat Fears Kutertalued. WASHINGTON, Joly-i, 6:30, p. m. Taei c ie a strong feeling outside of the White House that the Prenid?nt's condivior: ia more critical at thia time i than it ha? yee been. This impres sion rests undoubtedly un remarks privately made by those who are con versant with the c-ise, and whose av enues of information are ot the be?t possible character. - No official bulle tin will probably be issued at pres ent, and it is held that the physi cians in attendance are de erring a bulletin in the hopes that a change for the better will"occur shortly. The anxiety, which has been very intense all . he* afternoon, hac certainly deep ened a great deal in the la3t hour, and in the city at. least the gravest apprehensions are entertained of a fatal issue. 7:45, p. m.-Sot So Comfortable.

'Unfavorable. EXECUTIVE MANSION, 0:20, p. m. The President's condition to night is admitted by his attending physicians to be moro unfavorable, than it has been during the day, but the change is not regarded as especially alarm ing, for the reason that increased pu! ;; and temperature, which are the most marked leatures, wero observed at about the same time Saturday evening and last evening and last night. The ?lay, toe, bas been ex tremely warm and close, at.d the President has been more or less re6t less from that cause and pain due to the laceration of the nerves leading to the feet. The attending physicians are very rel-jetant to ex press any positive opinion upon the facts stated in to-night's official bulle tin, but they are hopeful that the temperature will fall and the pulse grow less rapid during the night, as was the case last night, and that the condition pf the patient to-morrow morning will not be wo rs . thar, it WHB this morning, ?hocld these antici pations be realizad, the physicians say they will have very strong hopes of the President's recovery. ?Since the date of the last official bulletin (7:4? p. m.") his temperature and pulse bas slightly decreased, which is taken as an indication that the views above expressed are not. without foundation. At the present time, all that can be positively said is that the situation ol the President is critical, int, that there are indications of ar. abatement of the present.unfavorable symptoms. Postmaster General James and Sec retary Hunt express themselves BS confidently hopeful that the Presi dents condition will improve during I the night, as it did last night, ana I that there will then be very strong I reasons to expect a f oal recovery, j IO p. m-!8|i{rht Amelioration of Syinn _ toms. EXECUTIVE MANSION, July 4,10, p. m.-A slight amehorati n of syrup ; toms has been prevalent during the past two hours. No vomiting during that period. Pulse, 124; temperature 101 ; respiration, 24.

The ' nourishment which he has ttiken at inter vals has assimilated perfectly, and has no ticeably mcre-ised hi? Btrength. He haa slept frequently and with apparent re freshment, and the decrease >n tempera ture and pulse has relieved ail apprehen sions of serious infUmation. Tn", tran sient unfavorable reaction waiata caused so much uneasiness last night between fi o'clock and 9 o'clock, and which it was thought might occur again to-night, has not, thus far, taken place. The favorable symptom- of the day having continued throughout the evening, have hither seem ed most critical, and this fact is thought by the attending physicians to indicate a substantial gain.
