W. Hunt A Co., was walking on ?, * First street, he was hailed from the opposite aide-Df the street by Henry G. Ross, and he stopped to ascertain what Mr. Ross wanted. The latter walked across the street to where 1 Broughton was standing, and asked him a question in regard to some family difficulty which had existed between them for some time past, and while Mr. Broughton was reply . lng, Mr. Ross drew his pistol and shot him, the ball entering nearthe centre of the breast-bono and ranging diagonally through the body and lung, passed out nearthe centre of the right shoulder blade, inflicting what his physicians say is au exceedingly dangerous but not necessarily mortal wound. When shot, Mr. Broughton staggered back against thc fence and fell, and his would-be murderer started off ia a brisk run and effected hts escape. Tho affair produced quite a sensation throughout the city, as both men are well known, thc assailant having been raised in Macon, and the assailed having lived there sincere close of the war. He is a native of Norfo'k, Va., and is known as a worthy gentle? man. The physicians attending the wounded man areTiopefuI of his recover}'. Cheering Signs. The proceedings of the Mackey mob, night before last, shows what the policy of the Radicals will be during the current cam? paign. They will, endeavor to exasperate the citizens who attend the Reform Conven? tion ; to disconcert the speakers by hisses, or silence them by jeers and shouts; or if these resorts fail, to break up the meetings by riots. So far as the colored people aro concerned, they are either to be kept away by counter meetings, or else to be intimi? dated. Now, it ia well that we should fairly con? sider the circumstances that surround us, and needful that we should adopt such measures as will neutralize the Radical poli? cy. We have reason to congratulate the citizens who assembled to provide for thc redemption of the State upon the patience and self-command they displayed, and upon the self-possession and dignity of the pre? siding oiHcer. For once the Radicals were foiled, notwithstanding their well-concerted schemes. The train fizzed considerably, but the mine did not explode. There is another ground for felicitation. Our colored citizens spoke for honesty and industry, without being endangered in life or limb. They showed to their race that hence? forth the colored man in South Carolina has rights which even the Radicals are bound to respect. Me need not be afraid of Union Leagues or election mobs any longer. He can speak as he thinks; he can vote as he likes. The Reform Party are determined that his rights of person and property and citizenship shall be protected. They will not penna the renewal of such scenes in thc streets of Cbarleston as have caused us to hang our heads with shame. Never again shall colored voters be dragged to or driven from the polls by a sheriff's posse. Never again shall a respectable man run the gauntlet up Meeting street because he has polled an obnoxious ticket. The Radical game is played out. We hare no doubt that the presence and the spe eches of the colored men at the mass meeting will have a most happy Tect. But the fact that they were as safe there, and are as safe to-day, as any other citizens, is better sci LL. This circumstance will, in it? self, add thousands to the adherents of the party of Retrenchment and Reform. The Peabody Educational Fand. The people of the Southern States have not been wanting in appreciation of the mu? nificent gift of Mr. George Peabody, intended to se applied to the education of the chil? dren of the South, ' 'without other distinction "than their needs and the opportunities of "nsefnlneas io them." At the same time, us the fund was to be used not for the estab? lishment of new schools, but "to help those "who were willing to help themselves, and to "eke outtheinsctScienresof local appropria - " tiona," it is somewhat difficult to appreciate properly either the extent of the field which the Trost fund waa to cover, or the magni? tude bf the results which, under many disad? vantages, have already been accomplished. It is fortunate, then, that the proceedings of the trusteos, at their annual meeting, held in Washington February 15 last, give tis an opportunity, not of measuring our thank?, but of appreciating aa t hey deser ve the prac? tical fruits of the wise generosity of him whose good deeds live, though he is cold and ?U?. At the date of the report of the general agent of the Fund, no school laws had boen ! enacted in Virginia; but thc Richmond schools received a donation, from the Fund, of $2000. At Humptou an arrangement waa made for the training of sixteen Normal pu? pils, from thc colored schools, at an expense of $50 for each. In Portsmouth thc public schools were revived and received S1000. Manassas pledged itself to educate 150 or 175 children if $300 were given, and this was doue. Winchester ia te receive $3000, and the colored schools of thc State are aided at the rate of $4000 a year. North Carolina had about 750,000 chil? dren to provide for, with a State appropria? tion of about $300,000. The Wilmington free schools, coating about $7000 a year, re? ceived $1500 from the Fund, and $1000 was given to Newbern upon condition that the city would educate the 1000 white children not attending school. Newport undertook to educate all ita white children, and received $300. To Little River Academy waa given $300, 125 children to be educated; to Hills? boro' was given $500, and to Thom as ville was given $3*0, it King agreed that 100 pu? pils should be educated. In South Carolina the established schools have received substantial help. The Charles? ton Normal School was reinstated and its operations enlarged, at ii coat, to the Fund, of $1000. In Greenville the citizens con? tributed $2500 for 500 children, an tithe Fund gave $1000. Late in 1869, Greenville enlarged its subscription to about $4500, and the Fund made a special donation o? $500. Columbia received $1000, Pine Ridge $300, Abbeville $300, Beaufort $600 and nodge's Depot, $100. In Georgia, Savannah received $1000, and Columbus $1500. Upon a donation ot $2000 from the Fund, it waa decided to expend $50,000 in Atlanta,' which has now public free schools of a high class. $4000 was given to colored schooLa as in Virginia and "North Carolina. In Florida, tho several counties are re? quired to maintain schools three months in the year or lose their share of the school fund. Lako City receives $650, and has 200 scholars. Tallahassee has appropriat? ed $7000 and receives $1000 from the Fund, and a like amount ia given St. Augustine. The costs of the Monticello schools is $7700, of which the Fund pays $700. Apalachicola receives $500, Jacksonville $1000 and Quin? cy $450-this last upon an expenditure of S4000. Alabama has a school fund of S525.000. Of the 33G,000 children in the State, 160,000 are in the public schools. The Peabody Fund has given Mobile S2000, Selma $2000-upon an outlay of S10,705; Girard S1000, Greens? boro' S400. and Huntsville is promised S2000 upon au outlay of not less than S7000, with an attendance of not less than 500 white children and of 700 colored. Opelika is promised S1000 upon certain specified con? ditions. Tennessee lias 418,709 children, between the ages of six yeara and twenty years. There are 3903 free schools, with 185,845 pupils. The Peabody Fund contributed, in all, $9900. West Virginia received assistance from the Fund to the amount of 511,600. In Mississippi the whole educational sys? tem was strengthened and enlivened by thc Fund, which gave six districts, in all, S6150. sj, Arkansas has made considerable progress. In one district there are 120 schools, with 6000 scholars. There were never thirty schools before. The Fund gave the differ? ent districts, in all, $9300. For Louisiana the appropriation of $11, 000 is recommended, and this sum insures the spending of local subscriptions amount? ing to more than $40,000. In addition to the foregoing sum, S4000 was given from tlurVund to the Normal schools. The aggregate of the appropriations, in twelve States, for the school year ending September, 1870, is about S85.000. These brief extracts from the official re? port of the proceedings of the Board of Trustees of the Peabody Fund indicate the importance of the work of educational im? provement now carried on. They show that the Fund has been well managed, and that it is applied with au enlightened liberality and wise thoughtfulness worthy of the great donor. Of Mr. Peabody himself, each one of us may say, in the tender words of Gov? ernor Aiken, "13hall always regret that he " could uot come to us in Carolina. It is a " feeling of sorrow to all of us. But we " hope he is receiving a far higher reward, " and if the prayers of the Southern people " avail anything with our blessed Redeemer, " he i3 certainly in his bosom." In this de? vout desire and earnest supplication, all may join who reverence the memory of one who poured oil into the wounds of deso? lating war, and provided, as far as he might, for the moral and intellectual wants of the children of the bruised and bleeding South.
