Since our former editorial on the subject of school houses we have received from the School Commis sioner o nl ilan of bi ''gs that will be erected in at County. They will be framed Louses, forty feet by twenty, plas tered on the inside, and having the plastering to the height of seven feet prepared for blackboards. The cost of each school house will be about $150. In Union, County the expense will be met by public funds. Whether the school - houses are built by publio- or private funds the expense is so trifling that it honrd.%t be in the way. Before the days f free schools people had to build their own school houses and had to pay for the tuition of their children all the year round. Now when tlie State pays the tui tion, or a large portion of it, the people ought certainly to be able to build decent school houses. The better plan, and'the only one that will secure uniformity, is to have a certain amount of public -money appropriated for building a sufficient number of school houses. The.tax would be so small that no body could feel it ; and no one -should. object even to a tax that would be felt for so worthy a pur pose. Let us do away with the pg styes, ben coops and barns in wvhich ear children are being. edu cated, and provide buildings more suitable for the children of civilized nqd intelligent people. U The Grand Jury of Albany, N. Y., has,.found an indictment against State Senator Sessions. Sessions has been a very active friend of Depew's in the fight for the 'U. S. Senate. A few weeks ago Repre sentative Bradley charged Sessions with paying him $2,000 to change his vote from Conkkling to Depew. S The Legislature appointed an in -vestigating committee. Sessions swore the. charge was not true ; but the facts looked very suspicious. The Grand Jury of the County has taken the matter up, and will put te Senator on trial. -.Henry Stanberry, of Cincinnati, died the 25th ult. He was Attor ney-General under President Andy Johnson, and resigned his office when Johnson was impeached so that he could defend him.

Early Saturday mornings 2nd in stant, the telegraph brought the news of an attempted assassination! of the President. Of course such an occurrence created much ex citement. and every telegram was looked for with deep interest. 0i, all sides hearty sympathy was expressed for the President. and hopes expressed for his recov ery not only on his own account but for the sake of the country. The following gives the condense. tele, ms so iar received : \VASHINGTO\, D. C., July 2. President Garfield was shot this morning at the Baltimore & Po tomac R. R. Depot while on his way to New England. He received one ball in the arm, and another between the hip and kidneys. Five physicians in attendance, and have probed for the ball without success. He is dangerously wounded, but may recover. The shooting was I lone by a slender man, about 5 feet 7 inches in height. He refuses to I give his name. The man was arrested and immediately carried to police headquarters, and subsequently re moved to jail. The shooting oc curred in the ladies' room of the I depot immediately after the Presi dent had entered walking arm in I arm with Secretary Blaine, on their way to the limited express train, I which was about ready to leave. Secretary Blaine, on hearing the two pistol shots, rushed in the di rection whence they came, with a view of arresting the assassin. Be fore reaching the man the Presi dent fell, and he returned to him and lifted him up. The first shot took effect in the right arm ; the second just above the right hip, and near the kidneys. Two com panies of Regulars were ordered from the barracks, and have been posted aronnd the Executive Man Sion. 11.30 A. M. The President is lying in a criti cal condition. The man who did the shooting is cHARLEs GITEAU, an attorney-at-law of Chicago; he is a foreigner by birth, and has been a very persistent applicant for a Consulship, which was refused by the President. 12.35 P. M1. The reaction from the shock of the injury has been very gradual. Charles Giteau is about thirty years old and supposed to be of French descent. He is of sandy complexion ; weighs about 125 pounds ; wears a moustache and light chin wvhiskers ; has sunken cheeks and has eyes far apart, which give him a sullen, or, as an official described it, "a loony'ap appearance." The officer gave it as his opinion that Giteau is a Chicago Communist. The follow ing LETTER was taken from the pocket of the prisoner at police headquarters : To te IVdtello'c':"July 2. To te WiteRone :T he Presi dent's tragic death was a necessity, but it will unite the Republican party and save the Republic. Life is a flinmsy dream, and it matters little when one goes. A human life is of small value. During the war thousands of brave boys went down without a tear. I presume.that the President was a Christian, and that he will be happier in Paradise than here. It will be no worse for Mrs. Garfield, dear soul, to part with her husband this way than by natural death. He is liable to go at any time anyway. I had no ill will to ward the President. His death was a political necessity. I am a lawyer, a theologian and a politi cian- I am a Stalwart of the Stal warts. I was with Gen. Grant and the rest of our men in New York uring the canvass. I have some papers for the press, which I shall leave with Byron An drews and his co-journalists at 1,420 New York Avenue, where all the reporters can see them. I am going to jail. CHARLES GrTEAU.' 1 P. 31. -The President is somewhat rest less, but is suffering less pain. ITHE NEws AT LONG DRANCHL. L~ONG BRANCH, July 2. So far the only particulars re cived of the shooting of the Presi dent is the following dispatch to G en. Swan. as sent from the Execu tive Mansion: The President is 'safely and corn fortably settled in his room in the Executive Mansion. So far as can be determined fromn what the doc tor~ say, and from his ~encrai con- K iope and at tl,e same the i eatest( tnxiety as to the ini, al resullt. !:Vii'E (i S OF A PLUT.

He had left a bundle of parpers in the hands of a boy with a vw. it is maintained, to create a belief in his insanity, in the event of his capture. Gitean said, on his way to jail, that the President's assassination was premeditated that. he went to Long Branch r. cenly for the purpose of shooting him there, and was deterred by the enfeebled and s3ddene I of Mrs. Garfield-.h appealed so MJ' this sense of humanity that he came back without carrying uut his intention. Physicians by whoui Giteau has been examined since the shooting say that he shows no svmptomt of insanity ; and it is understood that the letter which has already been telegraphed, directed "To the White House", is the only document in the collection which supports the theory of in sanity. It is reported that Giteau had an accoimplice, whose descrip tion is in the hands of the police, and further developments are anx iously looked for. The following telegram ws rec eived from Chicago: C1!,.A(o.. muy 2. - Charles Giteau. who shot the President this mornirg has been known in Chicago for the past 12 years. For much of that time he has been considered as more than half insane. He may have had French blood in his veins, but was, to all appearance an American. He wore his hair brushed up in front, giving him a startling look. When he first arrived in Chicago he began practicing law. He married a sis ter of George Sewell, a well known lawyer here, and lived at his place; but being of a shiftless character he became a nuisance, and was forbid den the house by Sewell. After living in a precarious fashion here for some ime lie went to New York, only to return in 1878. He then professed to have become con verted, and began lecturing und(er the auspice of the Young Men's Christian Association. He was next known in connection with a scheme to buy out the Chicago Inter- Qecan and run it after the pattern of the New York llerald ; but as he had no capital and no backing hisI scheme collapsed, and he returned to his former practice of dead-beat ing. His reputation has never been of the best, and h.s name was cen nected with several scandals, till he sank so low that no notice was taken of him whatever. About six months ago he disappeared from his usual haunts, and has not been seen in Chicago since. Giteau is described by the lawyers here as having been while here what is known as a "shyster", whatever practice he had being in the lower criminal courts. He was regarded as of weak mind, and at one time was a fanatic on temperance, and delivered a lecture at the First Metodist Church on the subject. Failing to pay the Tribune for its advertisement of the lecture, that paper wrote him as a fraud. WINGrTeON, D. C., 6.35 P. M. Mr's. Garfield has just arr-ived (from Long Branch). She was at once conducted to her husband. The President is under the influ ence of morphine ; he will not sur vive an hour unless an almost miraculous change takes place in his condition.

The President's condition is greatly improved. He secures suf ficient rcfreshing sleep, and during his waking hours is cheerful and is inclined to discuss pleasant topics. 1 P. M1.

The examination disclosed the fact that the bullet entered the Preiden's body betsycen the tenth and eleventh ribs on the right side of the spinal column, and pasng forward and downward into and through the lower end of the right, lobe of the liver finally lodged in the anterior por-tion of the abdo men. Careful but delicate exami nations made later in the afternoon revealed the fact that the location of the ball as determined was such is to make any eftbort for its removal anwarranted. This morning -the physicians decide that no effort will be made at present to extr-act the ball, as its presence in the locatio'n :letermined does not necessarily '~~.fp~p wil'h tim Presidenfs ulti wjuiries wtre at once' be u as to his 7teceeint and husine._.

It is said his father is president of the Second National Banik of Vreeport, Ill. The family is of Italian descent, but Guiteau has al ways claimed to be American born. He was finally compelled to quit the city on account of an accumulation of inancial difficulties. In other words Chicago had become too hot for hinm.' G;UITEAU INSANE. WASHINGTON, July 3.

C.. June 29. 18S1. At a 1ue:etiu, of the Republican State ('owm1imittee of Virginia yester 'lay there seem:s to have been about an equal division of members upon the p,le of uniting with the Mahoue Democrutic bolters at the State elec tion this Fall. The subject is one of specid.l interest here, because the President is solicited by both the straihht and half breed Republicns in t:,vor of their respective sides in the campaign, and what. he says, if anything, will have considerable effect. But, anyway, the Republican party in Virginia is in a hard .la' runs a. je' f Sit will he beaten, if it joins the Mahone men it will be beaten, probably. and, even if suecessful, will be swindled by its allies. Mahone is an intensely South era wan, and has been as proscriptive as any one, and he cares for Republi cans, black or white, only so far as they can be made useful to him. So far the President has made no definite sign. Considerable interest was felt here iast night on the subject of the in dictinent of Senator Sessions at Alba ny. Probably no one doubted the payment of money by Sessions to Bradley after Sessions had given his own testimony before the investigating Committee That testimany was to this effect : I have been all my life successful in a business in which the payment of money to legislators is a pre-requisite to success. Yet I have never paid money to Legislators. I was more interested in-defeating Couk liog than in anytiing else I ever un dertook, yet I did not pay money to defeat him. It is a misfortune the administration will never recover from the fact that its active supporters in New York are of this class, and that, if its efforts to rid the party of "boss" Conkling shall succeed, the party in the State will thereafter be governed by the most corrupt meon in our poli tics. I talked yesterday with a Maine Democrat who is here upon business with the Departments. He says the Republicans in the line Tree State will not hold their own this Fall in more than three Counties, if any. One of the reasons he gives for this is the general disgust felt by decent people over the New York squabble. Gene rally, Republicans there stand by the admiistration, because it is under stood that the fight is Blaine's fight, and Blaime has a heavy, hand on the party organization there. But in every village, he says, are more or less Republicans whose sympathies are the other way. H4e gives the State to the opposition hereafter if judicious nomi nations are miade. Another reason is the increasing lack of cordiality be tween Senators Frye and Hale. The administration, too, is removing Grant men from office in the WVest and South, and widening a breach which was threatening econgh at irst. DEMI. FOR THE HERALD. HENDERSONVILLJE, N.

The Christian claims not only to ad;ire, no rational being can do less than this, but also to itiitate, and cultivate as his own, the viitues of this noble being, whose very encinies k- ben made to wonder, as they beheld th- puriy of the eharacter. showing itself. .in the life. By his profession the ctian elaims to ad vocate the cause of trnnit. to embrace, and be willing to exert hin.t-lef in forwarding, whatever is calculated to oppose the progress of error. ndi ad vance the cause of holin-ss. In short, any enterprise that wii; zlorify his Master and benefit his race, he is ready to sustain, so far as he is abia. Now, is it too much to assert that it is the duty of such a person to use his efforts in promoting the cause of temperance, in rooting out that evil which has impaired the usefulness of so many noble winds, which has been a thief of peace and happiness to thousands of homes, atd which has caused misery that even the pen of the most gifted has failed to picture ? Surely, the world has a right to expect that every Christian will take a deep interest in the temperance movement of the day, and will con demn the use of ardent spirits as a bev erage. Christians should abstain from even the moderate use of intoxicating li quors tr various reasons: First, it inpairs their own individual integrity and capability for usefulness; it de tracts from their likeness to Christ. He who has been 'born again' must not always be a babe in Christ.' but as his days increase so should his spiritual growth. As has seen often said, there is no standstill in religious life -there is either a daily growing stronger or getting weaker. Does an occasional draw wake any Christian love his Saviour more ? If not, it must. at least, hinder that love's in crease. TPo the extent in which it is indulged, it lessens the devotional feeling, destroys the moral sense, and unfits for the service of God. Tfhe Christian has no right to tamper with anything that would hinder his growth in grace. Hie has need to pray : 'Lead me act into temptation,' but what mockery to'utter this prayer and arise from his knees to take his accustomed dram ! It would be eqjually sensible, to say nothing of the sin cerity, for a person to deliberately rush to the ed-ge of a precipice ex pectong another to keep him from fall ing, or for a man to expose himself tc the dangers of a cataract and expect no injury from it. As regards simply his own safety, then the use of ardent spirits is in jurious ; but can the Christian think of self only, or desire merely his own security ? Nay, the nearer he ap proaches the image of Christ the more will he be governed by his unselfish~ principles in seeking the good of others. If he could drink without an injury to himself he should remember the claims that his weaker brethren have upon him. The moderate drinker may exer-t an influence that the in ebriate does niot. The life of the lat ter says plainly, 'IL my ease you sec the evil of it-beware !' while the former, not in words, but by that ore potent influence- exam ple, says: -Young -brother, I can take a dramn and leave off at that. I cau drink without carrying it; to excess,' and naturally it is suggested to the young man's wind, 'I can, too,' and he tries it-wheie does it end ? Often in dis grace and ruin ; though perhaps, the one who encouraged his first drinking never becomes a drunkard. If, by only an occasional use, lhe 'pronounces the cup good,' why should he blame a weaker brotlier for indulging more freely ? Duty bids not only 'Do thy self no harmu,' but to adopt the senti ent of Paul when he said, 'If meat make my brother to offend, I will eat io flesh while the world stands.' But the Christian influence is not confined within t,he pales of the church. It extends to the outside world, and men j,dge religion by the conduct of its professors. If a dram drinking Christian's influence over a weak brother is baneful, howv much ore so must it be over the uncon verted! The uugodly man sees the professed Christian enjoying the social cup, and he is led to doubt, if not the power of religion itself, at least, the sincerity of that man's profession; and if he does ngt receive an actual invitatioR he will regard the pro fessor's example as no less than an encouragement for him to partake of the poisonous chalice which will unfit his mind for receiving those truths that the private Christian must aid his pastor in holding forth to the itl. penitent. What a fearful thing for a Christian to encourage drunikeznness. As we re spect our usefulness, as we hold dear Christ's cause, let us avoid even the moderate use of that whieb intoxicates Much may be done for temperance by exm :ple. and it is all important that example keep pace with pracept ; but let us niot be ~atistied with a mere negative part in the promotion of' this cause.

FOR THE HERALD, NEWBERRY, S. 2., July 1, 1SS1. MESSRS. EDITORS.: My attention has been called to an editorial comn ment in your issue of this week, upon a baptism at the Colored Baptist Church of this place on last Sunday, which I think does unintentional in justice to t?ie people whom I have the honor to represent. If few of the spectators '-were impressed with the solmutyof the" ordinance, it was ntbecause it was not administered decentiy and in order ; and the ad ministrator has the satisfaction of knowing that some intelligent white persons persent were favorably im pressed. The song to which you refer was sung by a visitor present and upon his own responsibility. The writer is unable to say whether your report of it is correct or net, for lhe has uo re collection of hdaring any of the words you give except those which you call "grand chorus." Permit we to add, gentlemen, that~ we arc strugglhng amid great difficul ties to elevate our race, and we trust that in all such efforts conscientiously pursued we shall have your constant and cordial support. Very respectfully yours, F. R. WXALACE, Pastor Newberry Baptist Church, (Colored ) Auppointmnen ts Rteealled. The Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention has re ealled the appointmant of Revs. John Stout, of Society lill, and F. P. Bell, of Anderson, to be miissionaries to China, in consequence of diffe.rence of views upon the subject of the in spiration of the Scriptures, the ma jority of the Board holding to the doctrine of a plenary or verbal inspi raiton of the Bible, while the gentle Inen named adopt the view that the Scriptures were written by inspired men in their own language and style of expression. While we are gratified that these gentlemen are tiot to leave South Caaolina, we cannot but censure the course of the Board, for if they intended to make any question upon this subject, it should have been done before the appointments were m~ade. Their action is a piece of ioeeiance and arrogance not often met with. it amounts to saving that unless a man agrees with them in the detail of doe trine, he shall not preach the gospel to the heathen. gnd if the Bloard are not vigilant their action will result in senting no missionaries to China at all.' One thing may be considered certain, and that is that the aation of the Board has sown the seeds of a ~ -iv,rl i-i~-'rh~ni diensmon. in A Great Eumerpride.
