To the JAditor of the Union :
Wanted to no if it is expected that
a School Coiumissioner with a County
omabrooing over 75 Seventy five Schools
and over 12 Twelve hundred Children
going to School and with about Six
Hundred Dollars Worth of Books
shall i keep the Books at his bone,
with his family whether lie had room
for therm or not-and the School Com.
inissior.er whose duty it is to furnish
Books and Receive Reports of the
Toachers-sial be compeld to (lse
his oflice and follow some other Cal
ling to the danage of Schools of this
County
This Would seam to be the teach.
hig of the Daily Union-now we .ay
let the School Commission h) Vell
paid for his Services and let the Toun
Make him discharge his duttics well,
or discharge him from oiice-and let
the pay be in accordance with the
duties--if one Commissioner has
seventy-five Schools and another has
twenty-five, pay them in proportion
to their schools, and let, each County
stands on its own nerits if Retrench
ment and Ie form is the Order of the
day let it commence t Ilead quarters
and comlie down to all so that all may
share .in the General Benefit of Cur
taling.
If one Coututy has seventy schools
and another has twenty-five thare cir
tluly aught to be Somce distinction in
Ret rance to Sutch Cases.
We say let all Rocive pay in pro
portion to what they'do.
JUSTICE.
1REPLY.-Our correspondent at.ke us
two questions, and as he evidently ex.
pects a reply, wo give it, to the best
of our abihajy.
In the first place, we cannot under.
stand what business a School Commis
aioner has with six hundred dollars'
worth of bookson hand, or even ten
dollars' worth. What has he to do
with school books any way ? Such
things are usually kept by merchants,
or stores engaged in that kind of trade
but we cannot conceive what a Sohool
Conimissioner has to do with them, as
an offioer. Tf ha keens them as a
source of profit, then we submit th.at
it it his own personal matter, and
something with which the State has
nothing to do at all. He might aa
well ask the State to furnish him with
a stable to keep his horse in (if he
has one), for the roason that he has to
use him to visit some of the schools
under his control. Let those who
want books go to the proper places
for them, and let the School Commis
sioner attend to his legitimate du
ties, if there are any. Keeping
schooL books Is certainly not one of
themi.
"Shatll h'e olosri oflice and follow
somne other calling to the damage of
the schools of his county ?" To this
we answer, that in about three-fourths
of the counties in the State-judging
fronm the commnunioations which reaoli
us from oficeors of this kind-we are
decidedly of the opinion, that they
had better close their offices and go to
plowing, or chiopping wood, or some
other congenial emplIoynient, for we
candidly believe the schools in such
counties could not possibly suffer any
damage by such a transfer.
How in the name of reason a school
co mmissioner can be kept busy with
seventy-five schools, with less than
twenty children to ech school, beats
our coinprehension, and why he should
bo provided by the State with an oflico
whore he could "receive reports from
teachers," also passes our understand
ing.
We are glad to be able to agreo
- with our correspondent upon one point
and that is, that "Commissioners
should be paid in proportion to what
they do."- Columbia Un ion,
Mark Twain writes the following
answer to a correspondent: "Young
Author-Yes, Aga'asis dhoes recom
mend anthors to eat fish, because the
phosphorus in it makes brains. So
far you aro correct. But I cannot
help you to a decision about the
amount you need to eat- -at least, niot
with certainty. If the specimen com
position you send is about your fair
usual average. I should judge that
perhaps a couple of whales would be
all you would want for the present.
Not the largest kind, but almply good
middling sized whales.''
"Ma," said an intelligent, thought
ful boy of nine, "I don't think Solo
mon was so rich as they say lie was."
"Why, my dear wvhat could have pal
that into your head ?" asked the as
tonished mother.-"Because the. Bi
ble says he slept with his fathers,
and I think if he been so rich he
would have a hed of his own."
3111t111ry Thlotiglts. I
With this 11o11th begins the New
Ycar of our time!. It i I nmed from
the Roman deity J anus, which meaiin
look behind and Lefore. The Roman
Year originally began in imiarch, but
in the time of N uma Pomphilia 13. C.
672, there were two mouths, January
and February added to the year ;
making the beginning instead of
March, January.
This 1111th hbhuld be spent the
mjost part in refluction-looking be
hind and before.
We uanke io apology for our fre
quent references to the social cle
nienta of the household, for on the
proper appreciation of these, depends
tile good of the garden and yard'
Look baoL. What has been our
expenses anud our income for the last
year. For this year our expenses
suust be reduced if they were larger
than our income last. To be strictly
honest, this calculation must be made.
We must spend less or no more tban
we Imake.
Have we accounta of obligations
that were to b tmet at the end of the
year ? If so, see after them. lave
we a borrowed book or umbrella in
our posestion ? If so, return it.
% ith us it is expected that we all
settle accounts ut the end of the
year. If we fail in the least of these
things, in the meeting of an obliga
tion implied or expressed, we violate
tile whole vow. "Pay thy debitv."
Tle difference in any ease being in
the degree of embairassmuent, it gives
to the man to whom tile de-bt is due.
The man who cares for the law, is
careful alike about every obligation.
. Look before. There is a vast fu
ture, a road to travel, a sea to navi
gate, a new work to do. It needs
that we think well on it, both as to
how it shall be With us and our fel
lows. Ias the past been for profit to
us and to thetn ? If not, how ? Let
it in no wise happen, that our iniqui
tiesshall fall oi our children or our
frieids. It may be In this wise, if
we be not thoughtful of every right
for it has in the past happened so
that we may buy, hoping to pay, and
expecting to, but it so turns that our
hopes are blasted, our obligations
can't be met by us, and have to be
met by some kind friend who has
gone surety for us and who has taken
all tile I isk, withan111It the lon, LApeC.
tation of gain. While we in many
cases, all expectation of gain and
nothing to loose. In the futurc ask
of no main such ia favor.
Let us plant for a bad crop, and
then do our best to make a good one.
In entering oil the new year, let us
so set out, as far as ill us lies, that
if we go (own on the way, the family
and friends left behind shall not be
the worse that we lived, and that we
be ready to journey in another and
better world.
L'-t us live rather as to our duty
and moans than as to the course of
our neighbor.
Be careful alike to work the six
days and rest the seventh.
Out doors we can't do much. Con.
tinue pruning and transplanting trees,
and vines, nakingeompost and drain
ing.
We may plant bcan.s, radish, as
paragus, garden peas, cabbage, beets,
otlions, lettuee. W~e may, by plan
tiag thus early, hlave aii earlier crop.

"'COMlNQ EVETs CAS-r TruF.lR H A n
ows REFORE."-Truly the ills of
our Congressmen do not come singly,
anid at long intervals. Hon. C. C.
llowenm, a Representatives in~ Congress
from this State, comes in for his due
share, which is the lion's shmare. A
few days since the telegra ph informed
us thlat this honorable gentleman had
been indicted by the grand jury of
Washington City for Bigamy, in that
he hlad a wife living in Louisville,
Ky., we believe, wvhen lie was married
to Mrs. King, in August last. Oni
Saturday Iast, another wife than the
Louisvlle one, whloso namie we believe
was Ta bitha Pakre, put, in an~ appear
atnco at Charleston, and petitioned the
court for alimnony, claiming that she
was the lawful wedded wife of C. C.
Biowen, hlaving been joined in nmatri
moniy on tile 8bit (lay of October,
1853, and that said mnarr-iage contract
had never been dissolved,.1This lady's
mnaidlen lnme was Franceis Hicks, as
shIown by tile marriage certificate,
which we have seen. -
'lhe stories of tile correspondents at
the Prussian headquarters are not
reassuring to the apprehensions of thle
stock exchange. One0 is that Moltke
has already preparedI a complete p.lan
for the invasion of England, and the
P'russian oflicers assure thmeir English
friends that its execution will not be
at all difficult. Around P'ai is the rieh
furniture of hundreds of' villas has
been burned to warm the soldiers.
"Nothing burns so well as piano wood."
At Versailles thley are eating all the
cows, and the destruction of every
young animal s soon ais born will
mnake famine in tihe future. At one
point we are told of fifty thousand
men sleeping in the op en air on a
frosty night, warming themselvyes from
time to time at huge fires of untllresh-t
ed wheat, which added their glow to
the fires of burning villages.
