COLUMBIA. Saturday Morning, Deo. 14. 1867. Suffrage <tn?ltflc?tloma. It is known to most of onr readers that the elective franchise has been largely extended in England. Since this action of Parliament, great in? terest is being manifested in that country, with regard to popular edu? cation, even by those members who were the most bitter opponents of the measure. Among them is Mr. Lowe, one of the most prominent champions of the aristocratic and privileged classes of English society, as it now exists. Since the success of the reform bill, however, against which he spoke earnestly and elo? quently, Mr. Lowe, like a true states? man, hos adapted his policy to the .change of circumstances and ndvo .cates a universal and compulsory system of education, to be applied immediately in every part, of Eng? land, in order that the large number to whom the franchise has been ex? tended may be trained to the intelli? gent discharge of their new duties. On this subject he has recently de? livered a remarkable speech before ono of the Edinbnrg institutions of learning, on primary and university education considered generally in .their relations to tho State. Some of Mr. Lowe's views on the .subject are very striking, and a brief glance at them will prove interesting to many of our readers. In regard to the elementary ?ducation of the poor, he considered it pretty well established that their education ought to be undertaken by the State; that from this system religious secta? rianism should be excluded, and that the best way for carrying on an edu? cation was not by a centralized sys? tem, but by the calling forth of looal energy, making it homogeneous with the feelings and habits of the people, especially in the* country districts; that tho work should bo superintend? ed by the Government, and not by those who carried it on; and that State aid ought to be given to schools, not merely because they are in exist? ence, or showing a certain attendance to their books, but for a certain amount of efficiency; that, in short, it was the business of the State to ascertain tho results and pay in pro? portion to them. Ho also pointed out what ho considered tho superior? ity of tho English to tho American system, where examinations, as prac? ticed under tho revised code in Eng? land, were totally unknown. Mr. Lowo's idoa of what education ought to be, is also very striking, nnd his suggestions, coming as they do, from one of thc best educated men in the country, will receive the atten? tion they deserve. The popular idea of education-what it ought to be is to teach a pupil everything he ought to know. Then arises the question, what is it most important that the people should know? All knowledge is valuable; but the prior? ity is given by Mr. Lowo to things over words, and ho is very pungent and witty nt tho folly of tho opposite view. To illustrate, ho says: "I think it is more important to a man to know where his liver is seated than to know it is call jecur in Latin, and einer in Greek." Whilst he does not disparage Latin or Greek, Mr. Lowe thinks the English languago has prior claims; that too much of tho best years of youth are wasted upon tho classics; that wo ought to give tho physical sciencos, modern history, modern languagos, modern geography, &c, at least an equal start with thoso that pertain to anti? quity. He says-and wo think says truly und forcibly-that "it is not too much to say, that tho man who is really well educated, has generally begun his education after it was sup? posed to have closed." In by-gono days-that is, before tho utter impoverishment of tho South a college or university ednoation was indispensable to tho children of the wealthy, and yet, after heavy ex? pense, and tho empty honor of a pieco of parchment, not one out of a hundred was qualified by such edu? cation to enter successfully upon any of tho practical business duties of lifo. lu this country, manhood suf? frage-that is-universal suffrage-is now tho great hobby among party politicians. To this party wo strong? ly commend tho views of Mr. Lowe, which should impress apon them that education is an absolute pre-requisite to a proper exercise of the elective franchise. To those who take any interest in educational matters-and vrho is there that ought not take such interest-the views of this English statesman teem with sound and prac? tical suggestions; and, if generally adopted, would make tho rising gene? ration one of active-, well informed men and women, fitted for the most important duties of life. <-???-? THE BILL RKTBATJIXO THE COTTON TAX.-As we know many of our readers are solicitous in regard to the repeal of the cotton tax, wo publish the full text of tho Aot. It has been read twice in the Senate and referred to tho Committee of .Finance, which reported recently. The bill will pro? bably be acted upon finally in to? day's session and pass: "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States cf America, in Congress assem? bled, That all cotton grown in the United States after the year 1867 shall be exempt from internal tax." WINNSBORO, December 12. MESSRS. EDITORS: I observe in your paper of to-day, an advertise? ment of E. B. Dorsey, general trans? portation agent, dated Columbia, De? cember ll, in which it is stated, that after that date, cotton would be trans? ported from Columbia to New York, through Charlotte, North Carolina, at $4.00 per bale ol 400 pounds. A similar advertisement appeared on the 7th inst, and was $4.50 per bale. Now, sir, I do oot know Mr. Dor? sey, or his address, nor do I under? stand tho official position he occupies. Otherwise, I would address,him per? sonally. My object in sending you this communication is, that I may gain the information I desire, either through you, or Mr. Dorsey, if it should fail under his eye. It is this: I would like to know for the benefit of this community, as well as for myself, if the same terms he pro proses for the shipment of cotton from Columbia, are granted or apply to shippers from Wiunsboro, Chester or any other point between Columbia and Charlotte. If it does, then the railroad agent at this point should be so instructed; if it does not, then why, I would ask, this discrimination in favor of one section. It is unjust, if such bo tho case. I wish now to illustrate, and be correct in my statements. Tho facts, as I uuderstand them, are these: A bale of cotton of 400 pounds, shipped from Winusboro to New York, now costs $6.38, or $1.60 per hundred; from Columbia to New York it is SI.00 per bale; from Winnsboro to Columbia it is $1.25 per bale. Now, I can put my cotton on tho train here, ship it to Columbia, and then without moving it, send it on to New York, at $400 por bale, saving thereby $1.13 per balo, as it will then cost mo $5.25 per bale via Columbia. This statement, I believe, sir, is correct. If I am in rrroi\ I will be glad to be corrected; and if it should be true, then I believe it to bo the duty of those who have it under their control to rectify it. Public atten? tion, however, should be called to the fact Very respectfully, W. A. -> ^? ? HOMICIDE. - The Darlington South? erner says : Wo learn that a serious affair took place some twenty miles West of the court house, on Lynelle's Creek. These are the particulars as wo get them: Mr. Dennis McKevlin-lato postmaster at Thomas' Cross Roads, and Mr. Segars-owner of Segars' Mills-had not been on friendly terms for sumo time, and on Wednesday afternoon Mr. MeKelvin met Mr. Segars, and had sumo high words, in reference to a charge of cutting Se? gars' mill dam-said to have been made by Segars against McKevlin. It is stated that Mr. McKevlin ban? tered Mr. Segars to meet him and fight it out; that he, tho said Segars, did meet Mr. McKevlin-both with guns-and that tho latter snapped ono or moro caps at Mr. Segars, and then Mr. S. fired both barrels at Mr. McKevlin, killing him at once. ALARMING INCENDIARISM.-Early on Sunday morning last, somo evil minded person or persons applied the torch to tho barn house of Mr. E. G. Kirvon, by which act all of his grain was destroyed. After the fire brok* out several guns were discharged near by, probably by tho same party who fired tho building, as au act of tri? umph for their villainy. On the fol? lowing night, wo aro informed that two moro buildings were burned up for Mr. Kirvon; thought to bo by tho same party who fired the corn crib. Mr. Kirvon is a large planter, and his loss in grain alone must be very heavy. -Darlington Southerner. SENTENCE COMMUTED.-Young Gil reath, (colored,) who was sentenced to be hung at Greenville, on Friday, tho 13th instant, lins had the penalty commuted by Governor Orr, to hard labor for life in tho penitentiary. GIN HOUSE BUBNT.-We learn, with regret, that the gin house of Mr. William Salmis, near Clay Hill, in this District, was entirely destroy? ed by fire on Friday night last, toge? ther with fourteen balee of cotton. Ten bales of the cotton were the pro? perty of Mr. Sabras-the remainder belonged to other persons. The fire is supposed to have originated from a freedman entering the lint-room with a lighted candle. f Yorkvi?e Enquirer. Mo nu BURNING.-Mr James Bell's gin house, in the suburbs of Dalling? ton C. H., was robbed about 6 o'clock Thursday morning, and afterwards burned-clearly the work of an in? cendiary. This is the third fire of this character in and around that village within the past five days; in every instance the work of incen? diaries. , At a meeting of the Directors of the King's Mountain Railroad Com? pany, on Wednesday evening of last week, James Mason, Esq., was elect? ed President, vice Gen. E. M. Law, resigued. Tho train on this road has commenced milking tri-weekly connections with those on the Char? lotte road; and on Tuesdays, Thurs? days and Saturdays, the connections will bo close.
