A pproved December 23, 1878. The Public Schools. Since the adjournment of the Leg islature the State Supe-rintendent of Education has addressed a circular to the School Commissioners of the sev eral Counties, which contains matters of intereat to the trustees of free schools and the public generally. From the circular we take the following: 1. In makingr the apportionment of the school fund for the present year, County School Commissioners should take care not to exceed the amount which will probably be collected. Boards of trustees should be cautioned not to make contracts in excess of the school funds of their districts. All such contracts are void. 2. One of the evils of the public school system in the past, has been the establishment of too many schools. The results of this error have been to divide the fund of the School Dis tricIt into smaller portions, thus re dueing the salaries of teachers and thereby imVpaiing the efileiency of the public seheols. The smaller the num ber of schools inx each District the better will be the p.ay of the teachers, and the niore e-fleient the work which wilhl be don.e. The schools should be so si tuated as to afford all proper facil itics to the pupils of the different Io ealitis. but it is believed that in m!Ldy lostanees this can best be done by red cng the numbeor or col heretofre established.. The salarie of tea her are l. not reenl:ted by l.aw, nor. would it be aracti1cable todos The s:daurie s wh ichI eati L- paid inust deend upon the amouat of the school fund, vbih vrie~~js in different Sebool Ditricets. and u-pon other- cnutous which Boards of T1'rustecs must tak;e ito consideratic:. As a general rule, I~ would advise that the rate of pay al lwed teachers be as liberal as possi hic. The0 services of compeCtenIt teach es cannot be obtained for inadeqjuate comnpen sat ion.l :1. No amendments to the School Law were made at the recent session of the Legislature. Several acts and jint resolutions were passed of feeing the school interest of certain Counties inl the State. Their purport cannot be indicated in~ a circular. In answer to repeated inquiries on this subject, I would say that 1 know of no law prescribing the age at which pupils shall be allowed to avail themu selves of the benefit of the public schools. 5. The school fund collected for the past fiscal year was 831G,197.10. Ta x es which will be hereafter collected by execution will i-ease this amount. It is probable that the school fund of this ~year will be at least equal to that of the patst year. The proper ox pedicture of this largze sum imposes upoun lhe v8i(ious school 'ftiers a high and im portan t trust. The people of this State have a right to expect that the schoo funds shall be expended not only honecstly, but wisely. To secure these ends, Countyv School Comminis siners are earnestly advised to spare no efiort to obtain the hcarty Co ope ration of their surbordinate officers, and by all means in their power to The HIerald.

Courts. no" great evil compain of under Radi cal rule in this State was the y slownss of our Co-uts-that busness placed in law stayed there a after' year. This CoMPinLtA was just; and we fear that the evili h,s not vet been removed. Nearly eve.y man who has gone to lny in 1h pa1st several years has had a repetition, on a I,ouified s of the clubrated ease of Jarndyce vs. J a n . M persons have su feredi actual loss rather than submit thcir rights to ad judication.counting thi loss as prferable to the long eai aid consequent expense of the Courts. The dockets in nearly all the Counties are crowded; cases of tventy or twenty five years standing ai)pCar CII some of them. 'ih the Judges that we now have there is no reason why the dockets shoul not be cleIared, and the Courts put in 'uCh a shape that each session will close up all the business before it. To get to this puint, however, it will be necessary to have extra terms in most of the Counties. This can be done. If the Chief Justice, whose province it is to order extra sessions, would address himself to this matte; he could soon have the Courts running smoothly. It seems to us, with all due teference, that the Chief tus ties should order extra terms wher ever they are needed, without re ference to the wishes of the bars or any other class. Public policy do manuds a speedy admiinistra tion of instice: Courts were instituted for this purpose. The Chief Justie can easily find out where Courts are needed from the Clerks, and having ascertained that fact, he should, without consulting anybody, order some Circuit Jndge to go there and clear the docket. Only in this way can all the business ever be brought up. The dockets once cleared can be kept so by the regular terms. We have been led to make these remarks by the fregnqent complaints on the subject. Many of the citi zens of this County are talking of getting up a petition to the C1hief ustice asking him to send a Judge or Judges here to finish up the old business that has been so long clog ging the wheels of justice. If they should do this we have no doubt their p)etition would be granted. 'The Supremie Court Decides Agains~t Poiygamy. The case of George Reynolds, laintiff in eiutor. against the United States in error, carried by appeal ro:' the Supremne Court of Utah to the Supreme Court of the United State., was dCd at WXashingtun n the {th incet. The Chief Justice dcides~ that the act of 186~2 tre venting polygamy] is consti tutTal ma that Mormonism, so far as it teaJces polygamyv, is not such a :eigionis belief as is protected by the Federal Constitution. All the Associate Justices concurred in the One wife for one man is now the aw for Utah as well as for other ections of the United States. The Professionxs in the House. The following list shows the rep resentation of the different profes sions in the House of Representa tives fur the session of 18'78: Farm ers, 64; lawyers, 32; doctors and armers, S; merchants, 4; merchants ad farmers, 3; lawyers and editors, ; doctors, 3; manufacturers, 2; rinters, 2; mechanic, 1; miner, 1; ditor and real estate broker, 1; lerymen, 1-total, 124. It will e seen from the above that the armers have a majority of the hole House; besides there are everal farmers who are also doc os or merchants. The ]awyers ome next iu number. The Commission appointed by Congress to investigate the cause and prevention of yellow fever have een taking medical teslimony in New Orleans. Dr. Smythe believes at thb fever is not transmissible Convicts. During the past year many oj the penitentiary convicts that wer( hired out to do railroad work werc badly treated. The directors, tc check this evil, decided on the Gtl inst, that the superintendent should make frequent and nnexpected visits to the places where tl.ey are employed, for the purposes of per sonal inspection as to their treat men t. Hereafter no hired convic' can be returned to the penitentiary till the expiration of contract, sc that if he is ill treated the expense oj doctor's bill will fall on the hand of the contractor. Plublic Schools. Superintendent Thompson's cir cular, in this issue, gives the ver3 instructions we have been advo cating and urging time and again, vIZ: the employment of a sufficient number of teachers to give instruc. tion to all the children, and n more. Now, let the law requiring a certain fixed average attendance, or no pay, be enforced, and thE schools will begin to be what they ought to have been long ago. IJulin Hartridge, Member ol Congress from Georgia, died in Washington on the 7th inst., of pneumona. Congressman Schleisler., of Tex as, died in Washington the Ith instant. Drift Wood. The public debt of Tennessee is 20.210,300. Benjamin Hunter was hung at Philadelphia, the 10th, for murdr. U. S. Marshal Fitzsimmons, Dem ocrat, of Georgia, has been re moved by Hayes, and W. H. Smythe, Republican, reappointed in his place. This is in accordance with Hayes' "civil service reform." The eleventh annual meeting of the Woman's Suffrage Convention was held in Washington the 9th. Susan B. Anthony, Lillie Blake, Cady Stanton, and many others of the strong-minded were present, and made spirited speeches. The Pontiac (Illinois) Sentinel of fers 8250 for the' mule that broke JHampton's leg ; he further agrees that the said mule shall have all the corn and oats he can eat, and shall be exempt from labor for the bal ance of his days. This r-adical Hoosier appears to have a very fatherliy feeling for the mule. Of the two we have far more respect for the mule. State News. Mr. Abram Riley, of Edgefield County, died Jan. 12, at the age of one hundred and fif teen years. M~andeville, the home of Mrs. Lawrence M. Keitt, in Marlboro County, was burned down the 3d of January last. iRev. Dr. Hiden, pastor of the Greenville Baptist Church, while oui, hunting Saturday, was acci dentally shot. His wounds are not seri-ons. Judge Hudson decided at the Orangeburg Cour-t last week that defendants in misdemeanors as well as in felonies are entitled to have a jury impllanneled from the entire ar-ray, as is the practice in capital cases, except, of course, that in misdo een ors defendan ts have only fieprmp)tory challenges. Col. A. P. Butler, of Aiken, has been appointed by G3ov. Simpson Fish Commissioner. He has re ceived as a present from Col. T. B. Fergnrson, Fish Commissioner of Maryland, 400,000 young California salmon, which he will at once dis tribute in the head waters of the Catawba, Broad, Tyger, Saluda, Seneca and other principal River-s of the State. Col. Butler receives no compensation for his labors. 11. Baldwin, of Monroe City, Id., writes under date of Dec. 3d, 1877, that his wife used Dr. Pieree's Favo rite Prescription with wonderful re suits. It effected her entire cure, af ter several physicians had failed. The many similar letters positively affirm ing that the Favorite Prescriptiou had cured the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women, induced Dr. Pierce to sell it under a guarantee. Ladies need nio longer submit to useless and painful local treatment, as the Favo rite Prescription is a safe, sure, and speedy cure. IIundreds who had been bed-ridden for years have been re stored to perfect health by its use.

Senator Voorhees has g to India a to be present at the 6enatorial contest ii which he has so depa interest. There ought to be and probably is no doubt of his election No party was ever more thoroughly pled,ged to accornpli.sh a given thing thau is the DemociaLie party to elect Voorilees. The whole Novebrner cam paign irou the first speech of Gov ernr HH;dricks to the last ballot thruwn on.i tlection day was fouzht on that uni;i,on. Lnator Thurman yesterday wrote to ii!' Ohio mocrats who will as scli1e on the 7th to celebrate the bat tie of New Orleals, that he could not be with then. He had been selected to st on "Jackson Democracy." No c ne could have done the subjct morecoiplete justice. It is to be re 'grcied that the Suz::tor felt compelled to decline especially as the declination mu-i probably be taken as showing that he will persisteutly refuse to be the Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio. The decision usade o) Mon day by the Supreme Court, in a poly. gamy case from Utah, is a blow to the surviving "twin relic of barbarist" of which we heard so much twenty years ago. i is to the effect that the laws of the United States, forbiding polygamy in the Territories, are con stituti-nal. Oue Reynolds contracted a m1ar:iage in Utah against the anti polygamous laws of the United States made for such cases. Proseented there for and the decision of the lower Court being against him he took the case tthe Supreme Court on appeal. Teeffect of the decision can but be great and important on the relations sustained by hundreds in Utah. This week the friends of woman 1 suffiage meet here in convention. They conic from all parts of the coun try, give us entertaining speeches and lectures, behave themselves much bet ter than the average member of politi cal conventions and go away, next year they will come again. To the un practiced observer thesc gatherings seem to cause a misuse of time and funds. As the first actiou giving the ballot to wom-an mlust of necessity coule from State or Territorial govern ment. If the ladies would meet at some State capital year after year, they would be more likely to accomplish somtething. In the week since resumotion noth ing has occurred to alarm" the most timid of the friends of hard money. To be sure we cannot consider anly.. thing settled in this regard for a time perhaps for a long time-but certainly every indication so far has been of the mIost gratifying character.4 SOLON.
