Thc Bill on Public Education
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HEWS.
The bill lately passed in tho Senate of the
St ate of South Carobna, on public education,
is now beforo the Legislature, and it is to be
hoped that the Legislature will amend it so as
to render it effective Tor tho promotion of both
mental and physical education.
The prominent feature cf that hill, as pass?
ed in tbe Senate, is to secure a Rood salary to
the superintendent of education and li in oounty
commissioners, but no action is taken to ad?
vance education. It establishes a board of ex?
aminers, composed of tho Superintendent,
the Seoretary and the Auditor of the State,
having ohorgo of "giving certificates of quali?
fication for teaching in the school to all per?
sons who pass a satisfactory examination.'*
Tb is, aocordmg to us, is not satisfactory.
For where is the programme" for that exam?
ination ? What proves that those thrco officers
are, or will bo in the future, competent to
perform the important duties of examiners ?
Why compel teachers from every part of the
State to go to Columbia to pass their examina?
tion ?
In every State whore public schools are in
existence, there is a normal school where per?
sons aro trained to teach lu common schools.
It was BO in this State before the war. if our
legislators intend to dispense with' a normal
school, at least they must take measures for
scouring gool teachers; otherwise tbe intended
reforms will never take place, and abuses will
be more flagrant than ever.
Public schools are supported by publio
money, and tho publio is entitled to know how
teachers are appointed and remunerated. Why,
then, not prescribe that the examination of
teachers shall bo made pnblioly, as is done
with the doctors and lawyers. This should be
dono fer every branch of education. Tho pub
he would be satisfied that merit, and merit
alone, only presides st tho appointments of
teachers, now that it hos turned fashionable to
bo a teacher. Nepotism, favoritism and po?
litical influence must bo excluded from public
schools. Teachers must bo appointed and
paid according to (heir own merits and quali
tications. But at any rate their salaries must bo
sufficient for their own support; ot her wiso tho
profession will be confined to a class ot per?
sons who have other means, for their living.
Thia would be creating a monopoly for the
benefit of persons in good circumstances.
If ladies are entitled to be teachers, this
must not be to tho exclusion of gentlemen.
Bnt whero is the gentleman who will be willing
to teach in publio schools, if he cannot make
bis living by it; when his salary is not equal
to half of the wages of the lowest laborer,
whoso habits and living aro not expensive ?
In the said bill not a word is said about the
physical education of the children. Will the
superintendent and bis commissioners ever
think of the development of youth, both in
body and mind? Will they look for the devel?
oped muscles and rigorous frame of the body,
?ts the precursor of support and actual aid to a
well balanced intellect ?
Will they prepare the young girls for future
?vives and mothers, and the boys for muscular
und well developed young men ?
Mens sana in corpore sano is an axiom whioh
has hitherto been ignored, especially in the
Boxamon schools of this country. Too often
bbe intellect is stimulated at the expense of the
body. Modern physiology teaches us that every
intellectual effort, every emotion of the heart,
depends for its perfect healthfulness upon the
minutest parts of our physical frame. This is
true especially for what is termed the nervous
system. If put out of order by over-stimulat?
ing it at school, soon the frame of tb o child
?oes wrong, and see the consequences.
The child, if eager to learn, becomes the
favorito of the teaoher, who stimulates him to
vin the prisa at the examination; his parents,
gnorant of the physical laws, allow him to
itudy till late hours. They are proud to see
he name of tbe child in the local papers as
laving gained the prize of his class. When
bo child awakes his first ?bought is not of his
nomin sr prayer, but of his lessons. Hesw.il
ows his breakfast, and off to school runs the
roor victim, half tired and weak from sleep d is
urbod by dreams of lessons lost and Rained.
There tho children are crowded in large bulld?
ogs generally not sufficiently ventilated; the
brenoon is spent man atmosphere entirely un?
it for human beings to live m; alternately ex?
posed to a stifling heat or chilled hy open
windows raised from time to time, in order that
* achers and pupils migbt momentarily breath
vitli comfort.
How do they spend the short recessesallowed
?0 them? Bo we find in our common -schools
uiy gymnasium or exercises conducir e to the
leveiopment ef the body, os is done in Europe?
the Grecian and Roman Republics ware more
irise than is the modem Republic et America.
There children wore compelled, not only to
earn how te read and write, as provides onr
nil on ?ducation-, but girls and bovs had to
tppear in the Agora and partake of bodily ex
jrcisee.
Let us not forget that common schools are
ttt end ed hy children of good families, and
lhere are many in that category now a days
?vhocaanct afford to supply their children with
;ho implements required for the ph v sic al edu?
cation of their children. Upon the State there
s inoumb int the dnty to provide for them, if
ne new order of things is true" to the mission
t proclaims to have to protect and advance the
ho matter. L. DuBos.

Salt as av Fertiliser.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE T?HW3.
Some time ago, when in England, I was
laesing through Lancashire,and noticing all the
louis to bo White, as if covered with a hoar
rest, I inquired what it was, and was informed
hat it was common salt, whiob. the farmers
?sed as their most important fertilizer. Hfif
ravelling in the interior of' Pennsylvania I
jeroeived the same thing, and was (here also
nforraed that -the article produced the moat
>enefioial results.
I desire to suggest the use of this article to
?ur -farmers in the interior, where marah mud
s not obtainable, and the fields suffer from
Ironght. Salt has a remarkable 'effect in re?
aming moisture, and even in that reapeot
done is very valuable, as in a great measure
t prevents the parobing of the ground hy
he intense heat df the summer sun.
Tbe best quantity to be put upon land in the
nterioris about ene sack per aere, and, in
apt, from close observation I oonsider a oom
>iiiattou of fertilisers will produce fifty per
tent, snore per acre tban anyone hind used
klone. The best sorts and proportions for or
Unaryland I oonsider to he about, guano one
mndred and fifty pounds, poudrette two hun?
dred and fifty pound?,'land plaster ona kundi od
rounds, and salt two hundred and twenty
rounds; in all. sere* hundred and dwenty
rounds of fertilizers per nore, costing about
lift. This, with good cultivation and an ordi
mry season, should give six hundred pounds
>f cotton? in faot, there ia no reason why any
and cannot be made to produce two bales per
?re. I hope soon to see the article of mit
Idly appreciated by our fanners, and take its
dace among cur regular fertilizers.

A. WILLING WITNESS.
The Libel of the Governor ot South Cere
linn upon the People of South' Caro?
lin?.
Wo make some extracts from tho sworn tes?
timony of Governor Seott in the Third Con?
gressional District contested election case.
In reply to a question by S. L. Hogo, Gover?
nor Scott says:
I am Governor R. K Root*. Governor of tho
State-was so In July. August, September, October
and November, 1868-inaugurated 9th July, 1808,
and have boen Oovernor up to the present time.
During that time the political condition of Newberry,
Abbeville, Anderson and Edgefleld was ono of great
excitement. 1'he laws como not be enforced, and
were net enforced m tbese counties. The obstruc?
tion of hw oaoae from the fact tint political organi?
zations set at defiance the offloeis or the law. The
organizations were the Republican and Democratic
parties. The Democratic organization w s ar-dyed
aga mut tho law. I received the infonmtion as Oov
iVuor tbst the Democratic party waa organized fer
the purpose of preventing the officers of tho law from
ec f?>r 'ing the law against any ot' their partisans, sud
for the purpose of controlling tho olect ons to take
place on the 3d November, in the interest of that
party alene. These political organizations armed
themselves in order to carry out the objects and
purposes of their organization I was informed bv
men who claimed to belong to Democratic clubs that
they wero providing themselves with 'sixteen shooters
and Winch? ?ter rifles, with tho declared purpose ot
first controlling tho election by beeping the negroes
away from the polia, and ir resistance was made
they would shoot the negroes down, and thereby pre?
vent the more timid from attending at all. Thev
did with my knowledge bring into tho State
the 'Winchester rill,?a in accota ?nee with' these
dec'arattons. Th ro was no election for Con?
gress in Edgefleld County, Third Congressional
District. The reason why is this : Tho law made
it my duty to appoint tute? commissioners of
election in each county ; two of those I first appoint?
ed wore white men aud one a colored man, of that
county. The white men objected to serve because
that particular colore J man was a member of the
board. I acoor Jingly appointed three other commis?
sioner!, oue of whom was a Mr. Rout, a memb?r of
the present Mouse of Repr?sent?t!vc.?. He replied
to me that lt waa impossible for the board to Borve
because it required all of his time to save his
life. That ho had boon shot at twice ia bis own
residence, had escaped front his house under cover
ot darkness, and was .then writing to me from
his place of concealment in the swamp. It was
too late then to appoint any other commission?
ers of election, as th* law required a no.iee
of twenty days before an election could be held The
general condition of political affaira in that county.as
far as the Bopublioan party was concerned, as regards
their safety, I can only state my opinion, based upon
resorts of citizens living in the county.. (Bar. Pope
objected to the opinion based upon such informa?
tion.) 1 think there was scarcely a mail received In
the Executive Department dosing the months of
September, October and November, 1863, that I did
not get one or more letters, i sporting the murder of
citizens of the county, and claimed in th-se letters
to be murdered in consequence of their political
opinion, or other outrages committed on them, and
begging of me io send a military force to the county
to give protection against lawless men.
Q.-What waa the condition in Abbeville as to out?
rages; also, of Newberry?
A.-Tho same as in Edgefleld. In Abbeville Coun?
ty I have rep rt on nie of nineteen murders Those
murders were also committed before the November
eleotions. Judging from the former election ia
A ril, and making due allowances for natural
chai ge s and influences that might legitimately have
been brought to bear.and judging furthermore by the
statements of men fro tn tho county of both political
par-iee, it is my opinion that the Republicans would
hare carried tho county by 1800 or 200S v.tes. I
ffi?ta bJ Bepubl can, Doge's matoj-Jiy for Congress.
As to Newberry County, lu a fair election, f ?an Only
lodge of it ft om the same Information I had as to
Abbeville. The majority in Newberry could have
been from ton to twelve hundred, same as f ir tb*
Legislature. Tho violence bi Newberry was not to
tho same extent as in Abbeville as to mut der, but
the same-intolerance existes as to colored men
voting. 1 here were two oa-es of murder in New
berry-Lee Nance and a saan by the name of Johnson

Examination by J. D. Pope, Esq., for J. P.
Reed :. %jfT.
Q.-How many white^uen' ot any party in South
Carolina supported you for Oovernor, do you
think T
A.-I have no means ol knowing. It was a matter
ot 11 difference to sae whether I was voted tor by
white or colored men, no.' did I regard it aa impor?
tant to the result, so long as there wasa talr elec?
tion, ano the voters bid the right to exercise the
privilege guarantee ! to them by the laws of the
country.
Q.-That may ba true, but was it net the fact th'it
you were elected by colored voters almost eui ?rely ?
a.-I have no means now of knowing the relative
humber of white and colored votes cast for me, bat
I kno v as a matter ot necessity that I received near?
ly all the colored votes cast in the State, as they
were Republicans from necessity, and voted for the
Republican (acdldatea.
Q--m lag tho canvass for Congress were you at
any thee or times, and how often, in the Third Con?
gressional Dis trie, o?t of the County of Richland?
A.-I was never out of the City Columbia to visit
any portion of the Third Congressional District dur
lng the canvass.
Q -Were yon in any of these cou ties before the
canvass ?
A.-I never was.
Q.-Have you been since ?
A.-I have not. My duties hare have rendered lt
almost impossible to leave the capital.
Q.-Your information, then, is derived from
others ?
A.-Yes. Hy information is derived from informa
tion ol citizens living in these counties, from civil
officers of the State government, aud military offl
eera who were on duty in these counties.
Q.-You say that the reslstauoo to tbe laws was en?
tirely by Democratic Organization?. Who gave you
this Information. Damscrats or Republicans ?
A.-Roth. Many men of the Democratic pan y
were opposed to these Democratic orgauis ? tiens for
ihe purpose of resisting the law and setting at de?
fiance the authority of the ?tate government.
Q.-Pray na i e some of these Democrats who
gave you this informationf
A.-I am not at liberty to nama them, as they en
joined coufldence. claiming that it it waa knowu
that they t. ava the information whereby tue par ies
might be brought to justice, their own lives and
properly would bo io daugor.
Q -Ton say ti*at D?mocrate to'd you that sixteen
shootera were imported to keep *ho negroes from
the polls. Name nome who told yo i this f
A-Members of the Demootatio e>ut> told me this,
It don't tollew that they ure Democrats because they
b. longed to Democratic elubs. A number of Re?
publicans joined Democratic clubs in order to dis?
cover what object they had in importing tbese de?
structive we ?non?- I do net for precautionary rea?
sons feel justified in giving their names to the
public.
Q -Would .yon believe the tea1 imo >y of any man
who became a member ot a Democratic club for the
purpose O? communicating to outsiders what he
there saw and hear a J
A.-When surrounding circumstances and results
corroborate testimony fully, I wt ula believe them.
Q-You spoke ??white men being armed. Do you
not know thatthere w*re armed bands of negroes lu
Edgefleld and Abbeville, and were you not applied to
frequent by te prevent their ute of these arms f And
what did you.do to prevent lt ?
A.-I de net know that there were such armed
bands ia these oonnrtos, nor oo X now recollect of
any report of such armed bands being made to me
from Abbeville, lt may. however, have been made,
as there was a general anmox of armed hands of ne
groes.
Q.-Do jpou know that the importation of arms
into the State waa brought about by Ufo met that
every negmaaaain the State was the owner ot a fire?
arm, and the white man almost entirely unarmed?
A-On the contrary I knew to the reverse af that'
Yo? would scarcely meet K white man who did not
have one revetver if not more, and a double barrel
shot gun. It is true that many of the colored men
were armed ?Uh shot guns aad oki muskets, bat
net more than a lar;e. minority oithetn had even
these arms. I wish to Say that I gPe the white of
the Mats th* credit With more intelligence and
knowledge of the negro character than te believe
that it was necessary Jo any emergency to provide
themselves with the d?struotiw weapons m a tl sae
of prefour i nasos.
Q -You think then and testify that the sixteen
shootera were imported to kill negroes?
A -I believe fran evidence that I dare net regard
as worthless that it wa*' the belief of a party or a
large au nu ber of men in the State that tumour and
Blair would be cloe ted, and ther?t?i s. ?fotthvtw* *?U!?
be given against the Reconstruction polley of Con?

civil war and overthrow the governments that had
been established in the iou h. I w?l give as.oas
reason for this belief; Conversations arere net un

openly their plan sf operation, ia which they
stated that ?hey would bring about tr riot-,
in this event- they would he prepared and

What the Paper? Say Aljon? lt.
Of the newspapers on om exchange list
scarcely any two seem to agree in views of tho
inaugural address of President Graut. We
make some extracts from theif comments :
I From tko Baltimore hun.]
The inaugural address is inax'ked by the sim?
plicity, conciseness and dircotv.ess of the man
of action, and of one who ia mare accustomed
tq, express himself through (he medium of
deeds than of word-). Ita utterances aro calm,
frank and deoidod. It is .encouraging to hear
him deolare at the outset that he commences
the duties of his offioe untra nimelled.
[IT:om the Ballimore Cosette.]
To undertake to pass any decisivo judgment
upon the inoomlng President, or to venture to
forecast the character of his bduttstration upon
the solo basis of the address in question, would
be premature, if not unfair. His, language will
probably be differently interpreted by thoso
who merely read it as it runs, and by those who
oonoidor it in connection with his previously
recorded acts and opinions. Timo will ?oon
ahow conclusively whether General Grant is to
be tho chief of a party or the hope ot a nation.
[From the Richmond Dispatch.]
The inaugural is a very plain and unpretend?
ing document. ?t^ propositions are general
und national, affording little room tor obj action
or oritioism. With reference lo the South
there is only one passage which bas an espec?
ial bea ring, and that is what ho tAys ab.mt suf?
frage, viz : "Th? question or Suffrage is one
which is likely to agitate the public BO long as
% portion of tho citizens of the nation aro ex
sluded from its privilleges in any State." This
may be fairly understood to include disfran?
chised whites; but General Grant coup los it
witli a sentence recommending the adontion by
the States of the Fifteenth constitutional amend?
ment, which is a mere "negro" amendment.
While we have no doubt that Gone ral ??rant
meant to include white men in the passago
juotcd above, we think it unfortunate that he
lid not separate it moro completely from that
?vhich followed about the "amendment.," aa it
frill give "oolor" to a construction whioh will
JO placed upon it by-some.
[Frota the Richmond Enquirer ]
If the Senate refrained from repealing the
reiiure-of-offioe act iu order to seo President
Inuit's hand, wo do not think they have made
nuoh out of him. Thero is in general a stu?
bed retioence about tho inaugural that be?
trays a good deal of thinking on Ute part of the
President, while it avoids any committal upon
frbioh the Senate can lay bold in the way of
apology for refusing still longer to remove the
.c jib-bit" from tho mouth of the Executive
[From the Richmond Whig.]
The inaugural will be read by tho people <8f
Virginia with unalloyed satisfaction. One has
july to consider what sort of a manifesto
there would have been, in its stead, if some
real representativo of the Radio 1 party had
been elected President-some'.genuine expo?
nent of the fierce and malign ??>iri t tbat has
swayed the two last Congresses-aomo Sum?
ner, or Wade, or Butler-to appreciate propei
ly tue animus of the new President, as illus?
trated not more in what ho says than in what

President Grant's inaugural will disappoint
many of bia supporters, but to the South it
apoaka with no uncertain voice. We have no?
thing to hope for from tho new administration.
The affaira of the government aro to be admin?
istered, not, perhaps, in a way to please tho
extremists of the Radical party, but cortaiuly
with no reference to the wishes or interests of
the Southern States of the Union. Under a
show of brave words, and an assumption of in?
dependence, there plainly runs a current of
Buoserviencv to party behests, and an assur?
ance to its leaders that their wishes and ~>un
sels will not be disregarded. Grant is a radi?
cal, and a slavs of the bondholders at. that.
[From tho Na donal Intelligencer,]
On yesterday President Graut announced in
a brief, concise and energetic speech to Uie
American pe opio the general principles which
would guide his administration. Wo were not
among those who expected or desired to find
in this address great minuteness fend elabora?
ting of views; and though his statements are
in general and somewhat guarded terms, we
find no occasion in this either for criticism or
regret. There is a very general disposition
among the people, in which we folly sympa?
thize, to give the uew President a fair trial as
he enters upon his difficult duties, to respect
bis intentions, and second every Just and well
meant endeavor ho may make for the publie
good. And thus,' though this paper may in
somes parUcularafall short of, and in oihoi s ron
counter to our wishes, we shall feel bound to
await a fuller development of his policy, aris?
ing from specific acts of administration, hoping
that these may oe such aa all patrlotio citi?
zens can freely support.

The only respect in which this empty anc
self-confident address is of any importance, it
in the evidence it furnishes that Genera
Grant doss not intend to have any serious
differences with tho Republican party. Witt
all ita self-assertion, tho inaugural ls reallj
very servile. It endorses all the favorite meas
urea and dogmas of the Republican party, ex
capt the Tenure-of-offloe act; and on that th<
parly is known to bo. about equally divided
AU his independence is exhausted in the mer?
empty proclamation of it ; he has not had thi
real independence to differ from his party ix
any particular. Aside from its tone of ill-be
seeming self-confidence, General Grant's inau
guralia a mero soho of tho tritest common
planes of the Republican newspapers. Wi
challenge his admirers to point out a singt
ides whioh. he bas contributed to tho throad
bare stock from whioh he drew the materials o

mr SARATOGA "A" SPRING WATER.
Saratoga, in tho Sta'a of New York, is one of the
most remarkable mineral reservoirs upon the surface
of the globe. Within an area of a milo in diameter
are some thirty mineral springs-no two of them
alike. In rome of the waters, Chloride of Sodium
predominates; In others, Iodine, Magnesia, Sulphur,
Chalybeate, Ito. The beneficial effects of some of
these waters, as medicinal agents, . are known
throughout the civilized wo dd. Probably one hun?
dred thousand persona visit these Springs annually.
Many hundred thousand bottles of tbs water are
transported and consumed in the various localities
of the country.
The SARATOGA "A" SPRING WATER is pro?
bably th? moat effective mineral water found on
either continent. It will bo observed that lt has ten
per cont, greater mineral properties than the cele?
brated Congress Spring; four times that of Baden
Baden of Austria; Ave times that of Alx la Chap die
In Prussia; twice that of Vichy in Francs; nearly
three, times greater than the renowned Seltzer of
Germany; and eanally over ibo Spas of Bath, Eng?
land, and Klsaengen in Bavaria. A
' The reputation of thia waler bi based upon Its
effects in diseases of tho stomach, liver, bowels,
kidneys, and spleen, and acta with wonderful bono

KS~ HOW HOSTE TIER'S BITTERS CURE
DYSPEPSI A.-THIS WHOLE STORY IN A NUT?
SHELL.-Tho office of the stomach is to convert the
food into a cream-like semi-fluid, called CHYME.
This is effected partly by tno action of a solvent, call?
ed the gastric j nico, which exudes from the coiling
of the stomach, and partly by a mechanical move?
ment of that organ, which churns, as it wore, the
dissolving ali ment. Tho CHYMB passes from the
stomach into the duodenum, or entrance to the
bo wein, where lt ts subj (ted to tho action of the
bile, and the nutritious portion of it converted into
a fluid called Chyle, which eventually becomes
blood.
Now, it is evident that if the great solvent, the
gastric juice, ia not produced in sufficient quantity,
or if the mechanical action of the stomach is not
sufficiently brisk, the first process of digest ou will
be bat imperfectly performed. It ls also clear that
if the liver, which plays such an important part in
changing the nourishing portion of tho CHYME into
the material of the blood, is congested, or in any nn.
natural condition, the second procesa will not be
thomnghly accomolishel. Thc result of the two
failures isdyspepsia, complicated with biliousness.
Th? modo in which HOS TETTER'S BITTERS
operate in Buch oreos is this: They t u vi gora te the
cellular membrane of rho stomach, which evolves
the gastric JIM HO, thereby insuring an ample suffi?
ciency of th? fluid to. completely dissolve the food.
They also ace upon the nerves of tho stmaaob., caus?
ing an acceleration of tho mocha deal movement
necessary to reduce tho food to a homogeneous
m tss. They also act specifically upou the liver,
strengthening it, and so enabling it to produce an
ampio and regular supply of bilo, for tho purpose of
converting the nutritious particles of tho Chyme ioto
Chyle, and prom te tho passage through the bowels
of the useless debris.
In this way HOS TETTER'S BI i TE RS eura dys?
pepsia aud liver complaint. The explanation is
plain, simple, philosophical and trae.
