mt mi? VOLUME XI.-NUMBER 1804. CHARLESTON, FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 6, 1871. EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR * EDUCATIONAL REFORM. THE IMPROVEMENT OF OUR SYSTEM OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The University of South Carolina-So. 3 The right to tax for educational purposes having now been Indicated, all citizens have right to demand of Ihe State government that the money shall no longer be squandered, heretofore, to no purpose. They have a rig to demand that less be attempted and more performed; and that the really large and mu niflcent appropriation made for education shall prove a benefit to the people, and not the prey of incompetent teachers and idle official", during the last two years. Let us begin at the head, the University South Carolina. It is now a pitiable mendl cant for students, instead of rejecting, with impartial justice, every applicant for admission Incompetent or unprepared to enter its en closures, and thus lifting up the standard education, and stimulating to their true mis? sion the high schools ot the State. It is not an honor uow to be admitted into the classic walls of Alma Mater-babies will be accepted If they come, and certificates of merit can be expected by children, In the most lavish pro fusion. The standard for admission and gradu ation, (having been lowered under the in fluence of the public men who carried the State imo 'hf Charleston Democratic Conven Aion, which caused the spilt that defeated Douglas, elected Lincoln and brought on the fBjaJgrar, and who, as cause or occasion, are re sponsible for most of the mischiefs existing continues ?ow and tends downward. At the same time that the humanities are neglected the grand name of university ls assumed, and the institution professes to be able to turn out first-rate doctors and lawyers. Neglecting its true mission of directing and Hiting up the high schools and academies, and of laying the bases of a liberal culture of young men as men and not tor any special calling, but for human Life and for all callings, it parades Its medical -school and its law-school before a sceptical public, and claims great consideration for not doing what it ought to do, and for doing what lt ought not to have attempted. Political causes, and the putting of colored men on the board of trustees, and the fear of a mixture of races among its students, may have excited some distrust; but the South Carolina College In changing Its name, has changed its nature It has departed from its legitimate mission .proven unialthtul lo the educational require rp^nts of the State, been converted from a good college into the worst university In the entire land, and this ls the chief reason of Its present most patent and signal failure. If lt can command no more confidence and draw no more support than at present, would it not be a good thing to rent out Its tenements and professors' houses, convert its recitation halls into livery stables, and abandon the attempt at higher State education altogether ? The catalogue of 1871 is before me. The long list of medical graduates numbers four, and their graduation cost themselves four hundred do Maxs apiece, and the State, In the shape ol salaries to the medical faculty, house ^.oorn, ?c., over ten thousand dollars, or over twenty-five hundred dollars each. Have the people looked at this thing fairly? Twelve thousand dollars to graduate four young doc? tors; and how many lues lt will, in the course of time; also cost, the day of judgment alone can disclose. This same twelve thousand dol? lars, over five-sixths of which was paid by the State, could have educated, at medical Institu? tions with better apparatus and facilities for dissection, observation, ?fcc., twenty-four young men, giving them live hundred each. If we must pay for men to kill us acientiflcal I ly, let us show common sense about lt. Let Y the Legislature abolish the medical faculty of % the university, or make lt dependent upon its tuition fees, and appropriate five thous? and dollars to pay for the education of the young men in the killing art, at five hundred dollars each, say in New York or Philadelphia, anti they will do exactly more than twice as ; much as the medical faculty ot the South Caro? lina University have done, at a cost ot twelve thousand dollars, during the last two years. And why keep the professorship of law ? The professor of history and political economy should surely find it in bis exact line to lecture w as much on constitutional and State law M there is any necessity for in a scheme of libe? ral education. These branches of study are not needed at present in our highest institu? tion. The very name of University, with Its shallow pretension, should be abandoned, and the South Carolina College should again address itself to the glorious work of leading the education of the State. Let five trustees, and five only,be elected, and ?o? a politician or colored man among them, but such men as C. G. Memminger and George S. Bryan, whose earnest zeal for the education of our colored people ls ao well known that the colored people wlil trust them. Let the institution return for two years of the course to a prescribed and compulsory curriculum, and bring up the public high schools and pri? vate academies to its standard, and let the .^ptlor and senior classes alone pursue elective ?tudies. But this paper is already too long. Beginning our examination at the head, we find lt, as we shall find the whole body of the state educational system, unsound and full of | wounds and bruises and putrefying sores. FAIRFIELD. THE TEXAS ELECTIONS. JEFFERSON*, TEXAS, October 5. The election is progressing quietly. The people are generally voting. Nothing definite can be kuown until the return closes to? morrow. BALTIMORE ITEMS. BALTIMORE, October 5. The case of Mrs. Wharton, charged with the poisoning of General Ketchnm, has been re? moved from the Criminal Court of thia city to the Circuit Court of Anne Arundel County. lu the Episcopal Convention the standing committees were announced. The English clergy were formally introduced and read ad? dresses. ALL ABOUT THE STATE -There was a frost in Spartanburg on the 29th ult, which ls about ten days earlier than usual. -Murphy, shot some days ago at his store at Lynchburg, is recovering from bis wounds, the balls having been extracted. -The gin-house, with six bales of cotton, belonging to Mrs. Swittenburg, near Jalapa, was burned to the ground on Monday after? noon. Tbe gin was running at the time the fire was discovered, and it is thought the fire was caused by friction. -A large meeting was held in Spartanburg on Monday, In the Interest ot the contemplated jjjgbjuad to Augusta. The meet! nj* was well attended, and the deepest interest manifested in the success ot the enterprise. The Spartan says that the Importance of the proposed rail? road seemed to be fully appreciated by all per? sons present, and the material aid which Spar? tanburg should give to secure its completion it beeves will be given. TBE NEW MOSEY ORDER S TS TEM. The British international money order sys? tem, under the new convention, has already gone Into operation. The maximum ls fixed at ten pounds sterling, or fifty dollars, when issued in this country. The services of the postal money order sys? tem between the two countries ls to be per? formed exclusively through the agency of of? fices of exchange. On the part of the ?nlte? States the office ot exchange is In New York, and on the part of the United Kingdom the office is in London. Until the two general postoffices shall con? sent to an alteration, it is agreed that in all matters of accounts relative to money orders which shall result from the execution of the present convention, the pound sterling ot Great Britain shall be considered as equiva? lent to $4 86 of the gold coin of the United States. The lees for the issue of international pos? tal orders are as follows: On orders not ex? ceeding $10, twenty-five cents; over $10 and not exceeding $20, hlty cents; over $20 and not exceeding $30, seventy-five cents; over $30 and not exceeding $40, one dollar; over $40 and not exceeding $50, one dollar and twenty five cents. No other currency than United sutes or national bank notes can be received or paid. Any person wishing to send money to Great Britain or Ireland must go to the general post office In this city, and fill up an application stating the sum the order is required for, to? gether with his own name and address and that of the* person to whom it is to be sent. The order is then sent to the postoffice at Lon? don by the postmaster here, and from London lt is sect ;'on her Majesty's service" free of charge to the payee. IVo charge is made In Great Britain. The payee receives his order Irom London, goes to the nearest money-order office and obtains the full amount. If more than $50 are required to be sent, separate forms must be taken out. Any person can send any amount from $1 to $1000, If necessa? ry, by paying the requisite premiums. The orders are payable in Great Britain and Ire? land, at every village, town or city, where there is a money-order office and savings bank. A THRILLING SITUATION. An Unromantic Danger and Narrow Escape. The Detroit Free Press of the 29th ult. des? cribes an adventure by a German named Henry Osster, of Nankin township, who, in hunting a missing cow, got mired In apiece of marshy ground. The narrative continues: To his right, about ten feet away, was a knoll of solid ground, on which grew a thorn apple tree, one of the limbs extending almost over the man's head, and about four feet be? yond the reach ot his arms. Thinking that If ne could get possession of his gun he might se? cure the limb, Osster took of! his suspenders, tied them together and made a noose on one end, and alter careful and tedious wor'i las? soed the rifle and dragged lt to him. luis was alter he had been In the mire nearly too hours, and quiten while after dark. He was Induced to believe that he had not sunk any for the last Itali hour, but the extra weight of the gun as he held lt un sunk him nearly to his hips In a moment, and he quickly laid it down. Little tufts ot grass, growing up from spot.? of solid ground not much larger than his hand, were all around the man, but the moment be took hold ot one of them lt would pull away having no real support. Osster had a pipe with him, and he got this from his coat and twisted off the German silver ring around the stem. The ring be broke between his teeth, bent it up like a hook, and then fastened lt to his suspenders, determined to make an effort to reach the limb. Time after time he made the throw, but the book failed to catch, or slipped off or bent out straight, and at ten o'clock at night the victim was up to his hips and slowly settling. Placing his coat and vest on either side, he pushed thym down with hts bands, and in this way kept his body from set? tling as fast as lt otherwise would. He ceased trying to shout, knowing that he could not ex? pect help before another day. A? Osster did not return at dark, Starks feared that he might have shot himself or met with seme other accident, and walked a mile or so la the direction irom which the man was expected, and stopped within hall a mlle of where he was sinking down to death. Re? turning home, he agreed to make a further search In the morning, and when the time came got a neighbor to go with him. They took a direction quite distant from where Osster was to be found, and, to be brief, searched the woods until nearly noon, ana then determined to go to the hamlet and see lt Osster had been there. In coming out of the woods they passed within for? ty rods of Osster, and were nearly a ball a mile away when one of them fired a shot at a squirrel on the fence. All night long Osster had been slowly sinking, and when the sun marked noon he was up to his should? ers In the mire. Hearing the shot, he put forth all his vocal strength Into one grand shout, followed by another, and his voice wr > heard and recognized. Even alter his Irlends were within fifty feet ol him he had to shout to ?rulde them, as his bead was below the grass. It ls needless to say that they instantly Bet about the work of rescuing him. Logs -nd brush were plied into the swamp until they could reach him. Finding that they could not pull bim out by the arms, the mire was scooped away from his body, and he was literally pried out by a lever Inserted under his feet. -Sj ? - * . THE ILLINOIS DEMOCRACY. SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS, Octobers. The Democratic State Convention yesterday nominated S. S. Hayes as Congressman at large. NEW ORLEANS AND YELLOW JACK WHAT THE DOCTORS SAY. NEW ORLEANS, October 5. Doctors Clare, Holiday, Smith, Brickell, and most of the prominent physicans ot New Or? leans, publish a statemeut that there elxsts no Sellow fever in the eli}*, and that it ls and bas een remarkably healthy throughout the sum? mer. The wires to Galveston are still down. THE SNUB TO CAT AC AZT. WASHINGTON, October 5. This government having asked the Czar to recall Caiacazy. the Government of Russia has asked that he be tolerated until the visit of the Grand Duke Alexis ls over. The President acceded to this, wishing to show friendship to the Duke and his Imperial father. Catacazy has been inlormed by the Secretary of State that if, when the visit is over, he shall not be recalled, his passport will be sent to him; and further, that the President will not receive him unless accompanied by the Duke. Nor will he at any time hold conversation with bim. 1 he President puts the request of recall on the ground of Culacazy's conduct, official and personal, which has been such as materi? ally to impair hU usefulness to his own gov? ernment, and to render intercourse with bim for either business or social purposes high? ly disagreeable. THE NEW YORK DEMOCRACY. T .u r. ., E?CHE3TER. October 5. In the Democratic Convention the reform candidates from New York were given a hear? ing. Several delegates made speeches de? nouncing Tammany, and a letter irom Charles O'Conor was read, bitterly denouncing the work In New York, and declaring that the Democratic party In its fctate Convention was bound so to conduct itself that the public Erosecutlon now demanded may be lalrly eard, and the Innocent vindicated from false assertions or ascertained guilt condlgnly pun ialied. The convention nominated for the city and State, Diederlch Willers, Jr., comptroller; Ascher P. Nichols, State treasurer; Wheeler H. Bristol, attorney-general; Marshall B. Champlain, 8tate engineer; surveyor, Van R. Richmond; canal commissioner, George W. Chapman; inspector ol State prUons, David B. McNeill. Adjourned. The delegates who withdrew from the Syra? cuse Radical Convention have resolved to unite in support ol the ticket nominated by that convention. POLITICS AT THE NORTH.

When the Democratic State Convention meets at Rochester, the proceedings of which you will have by telegraph before this appears in print, tbe issues of the campaign of 1871 in New York will have been made up. It is per? haps too early to speculate on the probable re? sult in November, but. trom present appear? ances, the Democrats will win even if Tam? many makes trouble over its non-recognition. Three sets of delegates go from this city, and Tammany Bends one of them. It ls composed equally of reputable persons and old party hackB-tools of the ring. Neither Tweed, Con? nolly nor Hall are numbered among the dele? gates, but their well-known, faithful hench? men are there. The quarrel between the two Radical fac? tions hos by no means abated. The Tribune accepts the State ticket nominated by the Conklingltes, but demands the bead ot Collec? tor Murphy as the reward ol its acquiescence. It is not improbable as the canvass waxes warm thal Grant will listen to the demand hopes of regaining the State to the Radicals If the Radicals were harmoniously united they could carry New York, but. as it ls, even the Tammany exposures will not help them ma teri ally. Next week Hie elections take ulace in the great Stales of Pennsylvania and Ohio. In the latter the Democrats have virtually abandoned the struggle for State officers. Colonel Mc Cook withdrew from the stump several weeks ago on the plea of ill-health, but, doubtless, he aud bis political friends were satisfied that was useless to waste their time. There ls a hope o? carrying the Legislature and ol thus electing an United Stales senator in place of John Sherman. This hope is based on the pros peet of carrying Cincinnati, in which the Ger mans are terribly Incensed against the Radi cala for enforcing the anti-lager beer-sellin on-Suuday laws. The political complexion the Legislature will be determined by the re suit in that city. From Pennsylvania, however, the advices are ot the most cheering character. Hon William A. Wallace, chairman of the Demo? cratic State central committee, after a caretul canvass of every township In the State, feels Justified In pronouncing the election of Gen eral McCandless by at least ten thousand ma jority, with Democratic majorities in both branches of the Legislature, thus partially io Buring the defeat ot Senator Cameron for re election. The Pennsylvania Democracy were the first to lead off with, the so-called "new departure" (anticipating Valiandigham by couple of weeks,) and have been getting along very harmoniously, making a great deal of capital out of the Evans-Geary frauds, which were unearthed Just about the right time. Be sides that, the Democrats have been helpei by the condition of affairs in Philadelphia There is a Radical ring in possession of that city quite as wicked and corrupt as the grand Tweed-Connolly combination here, and they have made very bad local nominations. The respectable portion of the party are In open revolt. Over in Massachusetts two conventions are to meet, and fresh candidates for governor will undoubtedly be put in the field. These conventions will be held by the betrayed labor reformers and prohibitionists. The rage of these lections against Buller ls tremendous The unconscionable rascal bad promised to stand by them and bolt If he did not get the Worcester nomination, and they worked lor him, In return, like beavers. His treachery almost stunned them. At last they gave vent to their (eellngB in such expressions as "con temptlble coward/' political swindler" and "traitor." They accuse him of "selling them out." Wendell Phillips has reversed his opln ion that Butler is the greatest man Maasachu setts has produced since ihe revolution, and is now said to pronounce the fellow to be a "prodigious mountebank:." It is regarded os rather a significant circum stance that Tweed is selling his real estate in this city. He exchanged about $350,000 worth of corner lots for so much hard cash last week The threats of the citizens' committee to lnsti tule suits against the ring masters to make them disgorge a part of their plunder has something to do with this appearance of the "Boss" as a seller In the real estate market Mayor Hall gave singular evidence yesterday ot the soreness he feels over the attacks of the press. A sofisation weekly paper published a cut representing Hall ana his friends In the striped uniform of the Sing-Sing gentry, and suggested In the same connection that this waa the style in which the people honed to see the members of ihe ring eventually hab? ited. Upon the appearance ot tbe obnoxious sheet the mayor issued orders to the police lo revoke the licenses of all newsvenders selling it, on the ground that it was "obscene Utera lure." The proprietors appear to be In ecsta slea over the mayor's Interference, andar? placarding the city with advertisements of the "suppressed Jourual." To-day was a red letter day in the church annals ot'Brooklyn, (or Beecher reappeared IQ his pulpit at the Plymouth Conventicle. The theatre-I beg pardon-the church, was Jam med willi au expectant audience, and at least thirty newspaper reporters sat beneath the sacred desk. Halfan hour before the orchea tra betrau the overture, "standing-room' could not be obtained within the edifice. Mr. Beecher appeared on the platform, looking Jolly and Tull oPhealth. He escaped his annual catarrh this year by fleeing to Hie White Mountains, and therefore returns to his labors unimpaired by his customary battle wilh the-demon. The season which begins so auspiciously to-day, will no doubt prove re muneialive. Mr. Beecher opened with a blast against the Tammany ring, and preached quite an effective political sermon. Everything ls ready for the reception of the Russian Imperial cub, who?e arrival may be expected any lime within the next two weeks. The most novel feature of the proposed festivi? ties will be the yacht reception. The vessels connected with the three great yacht clubs of New York-over a hundred in number-and probably a couple of hundred more private yachts, will await the approach of the Russian frigate in the lower bay and escort it to ihe anchorage off the Battery. This will be one of the rn'st brilliant sights ever witnessed in our waters. General Shaler will have all the militia out to escort the Grand Duke up Broad way to his quarters at the Clarendon, and there is to be a torchlight parade of the fire department, a breaklast and races at Jerome Park, a sall up the Hudson to West Point, and a graud banquet al Delmonlco's. Our Imperial ally in St. Petersburg is lo have, by this token, evidence of our gratitude towards him lor sympathizing with the North during the late war between the States. Ntblo's Garden is preparing (or a revival of the "Black Crook," which ls to be done willi all its "original splendor," and more too. A new beauty has been Imported from London lo play "Stalacta," and Paris ls to contribute thlriy-two new dancers. The star of the ballet, however, is to be Madamoiselle Sass!, from the Covent Garden Italian Opera, at a salary of $6000 per month. Sassi, or Sessi, os some of the accounts call her, is announced as a native of Charleston, South Carolina. Who knows lier ? Which Charleston dancing mas? ter was it that taught the first htep to Ibis Charleston girl, who earns $72,000 per an? num ? NTM. -We have already reported the failure ot the Philadelphia firm of Charles Vezln <fe Co., together with a statement that Charles Vez in had absconded from the city with a considera? ble sum ol' money. This report would seem to be verified. It appears that Vezln has de? camped to Brazil in" one of the steamers from New York. The deficiency ol' the company is about $340,000. and several trusls have been victimized lu large amounts. The greatest po!^nt?fUle "abilities are owing to French and English merchants. The man Vezln has had a high social position in Phlladelpnia, and was formerly consul in that city for Bremen. i??Jh h?L ??n what amount of money he has with him, and unless he is apprehended be ?roti?,6 h^e" Braz" he 18 fiafe, for the United country extradition treaty with that THE OLD WORLD'S SEWS. LOXDOV, October 5. Admiral Malcampo has accepted the work ot forming a new Spanish cabinet, which will probably be composed as follows: Malcampo, premier and minister of marine; Alvarez, In? terior; Olozaga. foreign affairs; Colemero, Jus? tice; Bossali, war; Candan, finance; Beranger, probably, public works.

Easterly winds, with rain, continue on the South Atlantic coast, with low barometer on the lower lakes; will probably continue to move eastward, with southerly winds and pos? sibly rain from virginia to Massachusetts.

S O. rJIHE YORKVILLE ENQUIRER FOR 1871 With the first of the year, the YORKVILLE EN? QUIRER will enter upon Its seventeenth volume; and the success with which the proprietor has met In the past, in his erforts to publish a hrs t class Literary and Family paper, has induced him to present attractions m the future, superior to any heretofore offered. With this view, and for the purpose of securing ORIGINAL SERIAL STORIES of a high order, remunerative prizes were offered for the three best competitive stories. From a large number that were submitted, a committee, composed or disinterested and competent literary gentlemen, selected as the most entertaining, '.AVLONA," -TEMPTATION," and "THE LOST DIAMOND;" which, on opening the seals contain? ing the authors' names, were found to be from the pens of some of the most popular story wri? ters; and these productions are pronounced equal to the stories Issued from any weekly press In the country. THE PRIZE STORIES will mn througn at least twenty-six numbers or the paper, and will be followed by three other Original Stories of absorbing Interest, written ex? pressly for the ENQCIRER, entitled, respectively, "DESTINY-A TALE OF BEFORE THE WAR;" "BROK.8N CISTERNS:" and "UNKNOWN"-mak? ing not less than three hundred columns of Origi? nal Stories to be published during tho year, which, in addition to the "Miscellaneous Read? ing," adapted to all classes, the Agricultural De? partment, containing practical and useful Infor? mation for the Farmer; "Reading for the Sab? bath," r?der the supervision of a clerical gentle? man of marked ability, whose graceful pen embel? lishes bis department in every number; a column of Wit and Humor; together with Editorials on appropriate topics: a compend or the News, at home and abroad; Commercial and Market Re ports, and being one of the l?gest papers pub? lished In the south, printed in the best style on a steam press, the ENQUIRER will supply the want of every fireside, and sustain Its reputation as a newspaper for the family curie. PRIZES TO SUBSCRIBERS. With the determination to keep up with the spirit of the times-the distribution of Prizes be ng a popular idea-the proprietor has deter? mined to adopt a system of GIFT DISTRIBUTION among the subscribers of the ENQUIRER, bat apoa a plan different from that so prevalent. In which brass Jewelry, "dumb watches" and Binning pic? tures are the chief attractions.
