THE Pu a LIC SCHOOL-. -We learn that the pub? lic schools of this city were yesterday formally transferred to the new board of commission . era, lately ap po int ed by Governor Scott. Four? teen years have elapsed since the present ?, .J ; tem of schools was introduced into this elly, -and during the whole of that period political influences have never been allowed to enter into the election of the board of commision? ers, A new era has* now dawned upon our -city and State, and the same pernicious influ? ences, which have for the past few years brought ruin and disgrace apon our unhappy . country, have at last been brought to bear upon this important public interest ThecU - i 9ms of Charleston have, at great expense, erected buildings second to none In the United States; and we trust that the new school au? thorities will not allow the reputation which . our schools have won to be destroyed by pre . cipltate or unwise action. The property which this board holds ba trust lor thc citizens ls valued at more than $100, 000, nearly the whole of which has been accu? mulated since the introduction of the present : system. Over twenty thousand children have ?'been enrolled in the schools during this period, -and these pupils are now found in all the walks .of life. To the gentlemen who have so long and ?so ably managed the schools, we desire to re? turn the thanks of the community. We apj" pend the names of the new and old boards.
