COLUMBIA, S. G. -:--. -:-1 i -- .. J-rrr Wednesday Morning, October il, 1871. The School-mutter Wanted. To show to oar readers* and the coun? try at large, the kind of hands into whioh the oanse of public education bas fallen nnder the Badioal Boheme of Southern reconstruction, we give the draft of a report whioh was prepared by a colored member of j the "State Board of Education," lately in session in this oity. Some of tho members of this Boord, we know, are very intelligent men; $ut that all are not, will appear from the report appended. We give it verbatim el puncluatim et literatim, not bj way of reproaching a man for his ignorance, bat to show how absurd it ia for such a man as the author of that re? port to presnmo. to sit upon a "State Board of Education." It ia suggestive of. B?dioal rule in South Carolina. Here is a copy of the mud report: Tho committee on university begg Leye to make the fulo win g report, the General assomboly a made ample appro? priation for the institution we bartly in dorse the Grat working of the institu? tion wher as the Sam' provide that ono ? ? ? *-cr For once in her history, Paris turns her back on the sons?tional and accepts the matter of fact. Deaf to Ibo offers of a compatriot of ours to rebuild the pub? lic buildings of tho beautiful oity at his own cost, and thereby gain an immor? tality of Parisian fame, and scouting thc still more dramatic idea of allowing, the. obarred walls of the.Hotel de Ville.and Tuileries to remain .standing as a monu? ment of. tho Oommuno, the municipali? ty of tbie gay capital has munt prosaically appropriated 2,000,000 of francs to re? build and repair all the public structures damaged during tho siege .and the reign of tho Kode. This aotiou in . not melo? dramatic, .but i.t ia.sensible; in the ex? treme. ' j ' ' ' . Perhaps, ho city in the world hos risen os rapidly or f?llen as suddenly as the city of Ghicago. Twenty years ago it had 350 inhabitants; a week ago it was among the largest cities in the United State?, with a population of 289,000. To-day it is a heap of smouldering ruins.. Yet the energy and enterprise of its people will not let it remain in its pre? sent condition, and Chicago will soon rise, Puoeoix-like, from its ashes. COLLAPSE OK XHB SYNDICATE.-A spe? cial despatch, to. the New York World, dated Washington, Ootober 5, says: There was considerable excitement here to-night over statements which aro afloat relative to tho alleged collapso of the syudicate. Inquiry in tho proper quarters shows that these rumors were founded on a letter that Assistant Secre? tary Richardson bas written to the Trea? sury Department, wherein in set forth the bad condition of the European r money market, and the fearful state of ' American securities there. This letter requests that the further shipment of the new bonds to Europe be suspended, as the syndicate already has $2,000,000 on hand, which cannot be disposed of just now. The European subscribers have sixty days to pay np tho amount of this subscription, bat are still slow. With but few exceptions, none have paid. In consequence of these advices, no more of the new bonds will be ship? ped abroad at present. If this failure of the new loan, so far as the syndioate is concerned, should prove true, it would croata a financial muddle in the Treasu? ry Department. On the strength of the sale of these bonds and the proceeds whioh were consequently forthcoming, Boutwell proceeded, as will be remem? bered, to call in 100,000,000 of 5 20s. Only the syndioate had been recognized in the transaction, and this step was taken in consequence of their assurances. If the syndicate cannot carry the 70,000, - 000 whioh they ordered, and to meet their own obligations must have recourse to their subscribers, the fact will Roon cowa.- In the meantime, the 1st of De? cember is fast approaching, when the 100,000,000 5-20s called in ore to be re? deemed, and when, in tho event of tho syndicate failure, thore will not be suffi? cient funds in the Treasury for that pur? pose. The amount of gold now on hand is only 90,000,000, ono-third of which will be required to meet tho November interest, and another third to be kept as a provision for the January interest. The law also requires that a balance of 30,000,000 in gold shall always bo kept available for contingencies, whioh three provisions absorb the gold balance now in the Treasury. The best informed financiers, inoludingoertain Treasury offi? cials, do not see where the Secretary can then realize more than 40,000,000 where? by to meet his heavy obligations on the let of December. It is stated that tho reasons given by European subscribers why they do not more rapidly liquidate their subscriptions is that the syndicate did not deal fairly by them; that the loan was so manipulated when it was placed npon the market that it com? manded a prominm of two-and-a-half per cent.; and that immediately uftor they had subscribed to the whole amount the bonds went two-and-a-half per cent, below par.

EDITOR: The Union, ol thia morn? ing, publishes* air editorial {,relativo to the State printing, whioh' traso?s? so fur from tb o'ti nth, that I deem it Attract-of justice to oorrcot ?orne of 'the false state? ments. The present proprietor is a stockholder in the so-called Carolina or Republican Printing Company to. the extent of $5,000; nut dish piid in, how over- the .pavanent was unnecessary, as the onbrmbus'profits derived from tho St?t? p'riniriig,'Obvlnfecr'lb''eTnecessity of paying'for.the stock. The Union, up to several weeks ago, was published, as wc are reliably informed, by one or thc other of these so-called companies; but n dilliculty having arisen as to the im? mense outlay to the company necessary to curry on the paper, nomo of tho stock? holders proposed (as in the casu of the Charleston Republican) to suspend tho publication. This Mr. Carpenter ob? jected to, insisting that he could carry it on, aud, at the same time, offering to take the-, paper in lieu of an amount of money whioh he contended the compnny owed him; he, at the same time, to re? tain bis jive thousand dollars worth of slock in the Carolina, Republican or State Printing Company, whichever it may bo properly termed. lu corrobora? tion of the above, I would further state, that the employees in that office-both thoBo engaged on the newspaper and on the State work-have received their com? pensation from the, same source-"L. C. Carpenter,- Treasurer (or Manager] Ca? rolina Printing Company." That Mr. Carpenter is not Stale Printer is correct, but that assertion is merely au evasion; the so called company aro State Printers, and bo is, or WHS, one of them. These uro facts'; and it is with tho dc siro td correct a few of the many false and incorrect statements published edi? torially in the Union that this article is furnished.' VERITAS.1 - A NICE - LITTLE GAME OF LOYALTY. Some 20O men have been arrested und re-ur rest ed,, imprisoned and released, again taken up and sent 300 miles from their homes to be tried. They have lost their crops by thia sixty or seventy days of persecution, their Inst dollar is gone, their* families are at the point of starva? tion, they are threatened with years of penitentiary life and impossible flues, if they do - not make a full confession. Whut wonder is it that the poor harassed, bedeviled prisoners swear exaotly what is required of them. So they make uny oath that Phillips and Bond tell them is necessary for their acquittal. Bond does not even pretend to disguise his parti? sanship. lu open court ho says to Phil? lips, the prosecutor, "wo eau get along without that evidence," or "we need that testimony," thus boldly allying himself with the prosecution 1 A gentleman from Rutherford bad a private interview with Bond and told him that to his cer? tain knowledge a dozen black, wicked lies had been sworn to. "That is proba? ble," replied the loyal Judge; "when men turn State's evidence, all courts look with distrust upon what they say." Tue gentleman replied: "Unfortunately, it is upon just such evidence as this you have convicted those unfortunate pri? soners." Phillips, by bis over-beariug bullying, and blood-thirsty zeal, has endeared himself to the loyal soul, and his reward is certain. Bond, the protcotor of tho brigand Burgen, hus made himself tho Jeffreys of our model administration, and right royal honors will be showered on his right royal head I [Charlotte Southern Home. A CHILD'S QUARREL- DEATH THE RE? SULT.-On the 28th September last, two odored children, Elizabeth Ferguson, thirteen years old, and Mary Heyward, some years younger, had a quarrel over some trifle and fought. They were sep? arated, and while the former wus walking off, the latter pioked up a piece of tin about the size of a sheet of letter paper, but bent over and jagged, and threw it at ber. It penetrated the temple and re? quired some force to remove it. The wounded child wan taken sick and a phy? sician, Dr. E. H. Kellers, was called in, and did what he could for her ut the moment, but was always apprehensive that the wound would provo fatal. Yes? terday sho died, and the Coroner held an inquest over her, and the jury rendered a verdict that tho deceased died from lockjaw, induced by a wound in the tem? ple caused by a piece of tin. [ Charleston Courier. The Sussex (Pa.) Register says: "Cu Wednesday afternoon hist, us the train arrived at Newton junction, ut Drake's Pond, thu ergi o was out loose to m ike u 'flying switch,' leaving tho curs to du ?bend by gravity on tho Frunkhn road. Mr. Lmi ls Heater, constable from Wantuge township, being upon a plat? form cur in front, und seeing tho eugine cut loose, for some reason or other, sprung off tho oar upon which he was standing, directly in front of it upon the track. In so doing he fell crosswise be? tween tho rails, and the ontire train of five cars passed over him, each in turn giving him a roll over as tho brakes struck him; yet, strange to Bay, neither his bead nor bis limbs got under tho wheels, und he escaped with his life, although pretty well bruised, and not a little frightened. SAILORS PUNISHED BY HUOUINO EAOH OTHER.-A comical passage uppeors in a letter from tho Rev. J. P. Newman to tho Methodist, describing tho voyage of the United States steamer Congress to and from Greenland. Dr. Newman says: "On our homeward voyage, two seamen wore reported for fighting, und they wero sentenced to hug euch other for four hours, with a sentry ovor them, to seo that they did it affectionately." Mr. Uuwio, a farmer of DeKalb Coun? ty, Ohio, resisted the serving of a pro? cess with u pitchfork lately, uud was fa? tally shot by the constable A PBOFOSBD CHANGE O?C RATL?W^D GAUGE.- We; hear disousHed, saya the Augnsta .Chronicle and Sentinel, (jae pro? priety and profitableness qi .chancing the gauge of the Wilmington nod Man ohester and' Charlotte, Colombia und Augusta Booda from-five feet to four feet eight and one-half jinplies.- The pr?sent difference in gauge, involves a. transfer of freight und passengers at Charlotte and Wilmington.

CAUSE OF DROUTH.-About a year ago, New England was suffering from a drouth. Ullis year Illinois is similarly aillioted, and to such nu extent that plowing is impossible. These dry seasons are, for tho most part, attributable to the de? struction of timber, und el ose observers in Illinois say that tho disappearance of even tho meagre amount of forest growths which some localities have known has had a perceptible effect on tho annual rain fall. SAD TERMINATION OF LIFE.-An old man and his son, giving the ninnes of Silas and Sikes Ingram, bailing from Lancaster County, S. C., came to Hobt. McFarland's at Saudy Plains, Pulk Couuty, N. C., on the 25th ult., both sick and partially deranged. Tho sou died on Thursday about 12 o'olook, aud the old mun is. iu such a conditiju that nothing satisfactory cnn bo obtained from bim in regard to his family. The Ellicott City (Marylaud) Times says that there is a regularly organized hand of incendiar icu in tho First District, whose solo business is to set lire to houses and barns belonging to promi? nent citizens iu that part of tho coun? try. It is a noticeable fact that those who have suffered iu this way were all of Southern proclivities during tho war, and since that tithe have beeu warm oppo? nents of Republicanism.
