The Legislature now in session can, iura iis attention io no subject more im? portant than that of devising a wise common school system. We do not p re? sume that, any suggestion of ours will hive much weight with a body of wbich it is netiti oar power often to speak with commendation. . Bat we may well sug? gest that if for no other reason than a ??1^1^ the colored populat??n, the Lcgialatoro might well \ consider educational methods, and not give it? whole attention to wild agrarian - trtrntrjUS and political ina tra man te. It trosld b? well for those modern Solong and Draooa to remember that to improve the brains and tba morals of the colored people is about as important as to give them la?es; ko. With regard now to the system that ahonld be pnt in operation, we may, in a general way. suggest that it ought tobo adapted to the peculiarities of cpr State and onr population. No system imported from New England will answer. What would work well in New England might prove utterly unsuited to South Carolina. Furthermore, it is evi? dent that separate schools for whites and blacks nhonld be provided. A wise legislator deals with things as they aro, not as they ought to be,'according to his opinion. The ekiaUog .feelings between the whites and colored people in this State make it impossible for them to be aohooled together. Now tho point with the Legislature j is not whether these feelings are right; or wrong, philosophical or the reverse, but it ie^ that tho feelings exist, are etrong^and control the conduct of the parties. Another delicate matter is the matter of text books. Any arbi? trary rale on thjs point will militate greatly against the scheme that maybe aU?i?pted. Perhaps the: fairest courso would be to leaVeJ; the selection of text books to the judgment of the teachers. We see no reaaottTwhy a particular set of books should be insisted upon. We be? lieve it-is Mr. Jillson who has tho sub? ject in charge. In the matter at least of education, it ia to be hoped that Mr. Jillson and the Legislature will rise above party views and considerations, ?nd give a wiso system of common ' schools io the State. This is a work out of whioh reputation can be made. This isa work that may be the instrument of much good. Let ns hope that those in charge of the subject may rise to the lovel of their high opportunity. When .the great architect, Sir Christopher Wren', after finishing the great cathedral, died, he was buried within tho walls whioh his own genius had planned aud reared, and his tomb was marked by a simple slab, bearing this inscription: "8i monumcntum quoris, circumspic?" "if you $eek his monument, look around" Let any man now giro to South Carolina a system of common school education adapted alike to whites and blacks, and respecting tastes and sentiments that oan never be eradicated, and ho will achieve for himself enduring honor, and of him, too, hereafter it may be said : A grateful people raise no shaft of marble or gra? nite to his memory, but "if you seek his monument, look around." Let South Carolina republicanism rise, if it can, to the height of a conception like this, and even the most determined opponent? must concede to it the meed of praise; must make the acknowledgment thal some good may coma out of Nazareth : must admit that whereas they believe radicalism foolish, it has demonstrated that it can be wise. Partisanship of Gov, Scott Illustrated* Oar readers will ciao where notice the communication of Mr. Thomas W. Holloway. Mr. Holloway is a well known oitizen of Newberry. In making the request of GOT. Scott that he did, Mr. H. discharged a duty to tho public aa well as to himself. And in now bring ing the matter before tho public, he hai farther done well. Let the short-corn inga of the officials of the State be ex posed. In declining to pay attontion t< this matter, Gov. Scott has done wha may hare been expected, when it is re membered that Mr. H. does not belong to that party which the present Exccutivi so assiduously courts. Sumter is threat ened with martial law, whon Mr. Davit Robertson's atoro is bornt; but gin housi after gin house may batu, and all tha tho Executive nae to say is a kind o suggestion that this is not so bad afte all, and no more than what some peopli deserve. This is a pretty condition o affairs, when a State is saddled with sue] an Executive officer I Does Gov. Scot forget ?bat he, ia committed by his oat! of office to the impartial exeoution o the law? Well might one say of ? mai ?o utterly nnablo to hold the scales a justice wall balanced : "I had rather b< a dog and bay at the moon, than snob i Roman."

W. HOLLOWAY. POM A ni A, H. G., November 27, 1869. POMAIUA, 8. G., November 16, 1860. Tb his Excellency Gov. R. K. Scott. Sm: During my absence from home last week, in attendance at the Fair, Co? lumbia, my gin house was burnt, de? stroying botween five and six bales cot? ton, about 400 bushels cotton seed, fod? der, hay, gio, thresher, belting, etc, all amounting io value to about $2,000. Tbe colored people employed upon the place, aud who had an interest io the cotton, assert that the Ore was not the result of carelessness, bot the oct of an incen? diary. IQ this neighborhood, a short time since, Rev. Mr. Boinest lost bis buildings; two other attempts to Bro two gio houses eear hero failed, by prompt ?lotion of the owners. It is not unusual to seo in our papers, almost daily, ac? counts of the destruction of buildings, containing tho yeats's bard earnings, and why snob occurrences aro so frequent, naturally attracts serious attention, and our pcoplo uro apprehensive, if such a state of things continue, of being brought to want. Wo feel our inability to stop those villainous nets of the incen? diary, aud in tho case of myself referred to, I writo to yon to beg you to offer a sui table reward for the apprehension of the person or persons who destroyed my property, on Tuesday, 9th instant. As already stated, tbe colored people think there caa be uo doubt as to tbo origin of the fire. Ta an experience of thirty Sears, I have never known ns many gin ouses destroyed r>8 have been even in this vicinity withiaVthu lost two months; and why it is so, naturally forces thu people to draw inferences, whether cor? rectly or not. If those in authority direct their ener? gies to the promotion of good will among the people, instead of engendering bato and discord for selfish purposes, there would bo peuce, harmony and prospority throughout the country. But I regret to say, that instoad of tho proper course beiug pursued, an influence is being ex? erted from some quarter, to destroy thu property of the couutry aud impoverish tho people. Will you not interpose in behalf of our citizens, and put. no end to the dangers that now surround us? Very respect? fully, THOS. W. HOLLOWAY. A Tribute or Thanks. COLUMBIA, S. C., November 29,1869. We, tho undersigned, officers of the colored Young Men's Christian Associa? tion, do hereby rotnrn the sincere thanks of tho association to the Hon. T. J.

TRICTS.-"Corsair," the correspondeut of tho Charleston News, says: Upon the meeting of Congress, which commences on tho first Monday in De? cember, the case of A. 8. Wallace vs. W. D. Simpson-contested election will como up. This case, it will be rememborod, was presented along with that of S. D. H?ge vs. J. P. Reed, which was forced through, aud H?ge seated, just at the end of the last session of Congress; and this case of Wallace vs. Simpson would have been forocd through io the same style but for want of time. Three hours more might bavc disposed of it as the other bad been. Tbe reports of both cates-both majori? ty and minority-wero exactly alike, verbatim. The following is the majority report in tho ouse of H?ge vs. Reed: Resolved, That, upon the papers refer? red to, the Committee of Elections, in the coo tested osse of 8. JJ. H?ge vs. J. P. Reed, from tho Third Congressional District of South Carolina, 8. L. H?ge is prima facie entitled to a seat in the House, as the representative of said District, subject to the future action o? the House as to the merits of the case. Upon tho same case, the minority re? port-made by Messrs. Burr aud Rao dull-in as follows: Resolved, That J. P. Reed is not enti? tled, under resolution of March, 1869, to a seat from the Third District of South Carolina, by reason of ineligibility, sod that S. L. H?ge is not entitled to such seat, because he was not by tbe greatest j uumber of votes duly elected by tho pcoplo of that District. The two cases, theo, stand npon the j same footing, and the arguments both pro and con are mads in nearly tho same words. ---.a. - A box of torpedoes, snob as the boys! are io the habit of playing witb, ex-1 Kl od ed on the wharf at Mobile, aa it was eing plaoed on a dray, killing tbe dray-i mao instantly and severely injuring two other persons.
