SELBY. .i " J i " ? Tho Common School System. Th? leaders of the Radical party in South Carolina before, and even since, their advent into power in 1868, have professed great interest in the cause Of public education, and have.been lavish io their promisee and in the expenditure of .tho puldia moneys, ostensibly for the establishment of .ft -sysjtem. of common public schools.. Bat year by y esr h BB pas&edgffiBa ?^undr??a of 'fchooaands of dollars of the hard earned money of the white people has been appropriated and .exhausted, without or? y visible improve? ment in the condition of the oolorcd race. -TTho plan that'they have adopted of dividing^ the severul Counties into Suhoo? ?Distri?ta of convenient;size, and alternating the white and colored schools at regular i alor vals in eaoh District, seems simple enough, and is ss proper an arrangement in that regard as could, Sorbaos, be made. The canse of failure oes opt rest here; but ia attributable, like ?very other evil thst retards the public prosperity, to the dishonesty and utter incompetency Of those in oflicinl pooition. The State Superintendent ol Education, Mr. JUlson, is, we are in ' dined to believe, an earnest man, and moderately qualified to disoharge. tbs duties of bis office. Bat aside from him, even amid the ranks of Radical ignor? ance in the State, where could there bi found such a combination of lozines* and stupidity as characterizes the Coun? ty School Commissiosiers, and ninety nine hundredths of the teachers in thc so-called public schools of Sooth Caro lina? The. balk of them cannot con struct a simple English sentence gram rustically, and numbera are unable ever io spell their names correctly. It ii absnrd to expect that men can eaoceoi in imparting instruction to others, wb< are themselves devoid of a knowledge o the simplest elementary branohes pf edu cation; and the colored oitizeos mostse< to it, if they desire to have their chit dren secure the benefits of sohool ad vantages, that honest and efficient Oom . missioners and teachers are placed ii charge of the public schools. The intelligent property-holders in th State are not averse to contributing, au contributing liberally, even from thei scanty means, to provide wholesome in struotion to those who, now that the are vested with the rights of citizenship should be prepared to oxeroise them in telligectly. Our opposition to nniversu suffrage was based upon no hatred u dislike of our former servants, nor c envy or jealousy at their advancement t places of power and trust, but from well grounded fear that through thei ignorance they would be made tho dupe of designiug and unscrupulous demti gcgucs, who, seeking only their privat gain, would saorifioe the public interest* The result has jastified our gravost at prehensions, and four years of Rad ici rule, based upon negro snffrago, find Sooth Carolina on the verge of banu ruptcy and laden with a debt four (inn as great as that incurred under nour century of proper and intelligent govern ment. We stickle for no disorimiuulio in civil privileges in favor of the Suxo race, for we are well aware, and free t accord, that neither the color of tho ski nor the curl of the bair can muke u honest man or a worthy oitizen. Expi rienoe, however, and common Bonsi alike, teach us that there should at lem be an educational qualification to tli right of snffrago, and we should be glu were it possible to throw such a protei tion now around the improper exeroh of oleotoral privileges in South Caroliui But there is no hope for snob a tbini Universal suffrage is engrafted fund mentally apon our organio law, and it idle und irrational to expect that au class of people will, of their own aooon surrender political power once they hu' indulged in its exercise. Revolutioi never m ovo back wards. We need n expect, nor should we desiro, that exit ing political privileges will ever I abridged in a Republican govcrumotj Tho only resource left us by which remedy tho evil of unqualified suffrag mmmmm^mm m,. i.",' jj, wi itt to educate the masses; and,.to the ef feolnation ot this, end, wie will sustain oven a.corrupt Radical ftdmjtolstratipo, asking on)y that^thc |p?blJo moneys be honestly^econo^oaHjr abd effectively devoted;*? tho^legit?mate object f?r which it is ?atan?lhly designed. ' Oo to W?'h)n((on. In the ring organ, of yesterday'? date, appears a significant article, indicative either , of v further malignant efforts agafosf'the peace of our people, on the part of swift witnesses and eager accusers, br intended; aqdor vaporing words and cloudy threats; to cover the retreat of the Government prosecutors in the Ku Klux oases. We cannot determine which exactly is meant, but the spirit and temper of the traducer and slanderer are plain enough to be seerf. It fondly gloats aver the foots whioh it reports, as it informs its readers that Colonel Mor: rill, Dist riot Attorney Corbin and At? torney-General, Chamberlain left for Washington Tuesday to oonfer with the authorities there upon the Ka Klux affairs of this State. A pretty trio, indeed! "Threegentle? men at onoe," as Mrs. Malaprop says of Cerberus. "Futuro proceedings in court and in the field against Ku Klux" arc tc be inaugurated, "additional execu? tive aid judicial force" mu?t be obtained, and the "real leaders aro now to be sought ont and the redoubtable organ of thieves and swindlers congratulates all "our citizens" upon this exquisite pros? pect. We suppose the rattle-snake has n certain enjoyment in injeoticg his poison into the veins of his victim, and the Radical organ here never spurts its venom without exhibiting its glee at the expected hurtful effects. It is human nature, says an old historian, to hate him whom yon hare injured. And so these miscreants who throng tho avenues of both private and pablio life here, coming from God only knows where, and not worthy to touch the basest dirt of the State, bate with a hatred only baso natures oan feelthe people, man? ners, honor, traditions, oourtesy and priuoiples whioh they foully wronged by their acts and their very presenoe. A rumor prevailed for awhile, last win? ter, that summary vengeance was snout to be visited upon the execrable State Government we have, in the shape ol several thousand armed men coming down, coming np, and from all quarters, and closing around and cleaning out thc sinks of iniquity whose reeking foolnesi sent out loud and strong invitations Well, it was not done. Our eyes did not see the sight, and-more's the pity-tb< stencil is to-day more oppressive ant more offensivo than ever. The thaudon and lightning which will olear the atmos phere and make the land once mon habitable for others than beasts of pro: and carrion buzzards, and bring retribu tion to evil-doers, yet sleep in tho hollov of His hand who doeth all things well. We bide our timo, and our hopes ris higher and higher every day that deliver ?noe is not fur off. The poor and plansi bio sneak, Chamberlain, tho blusterinj Corbin, and tho military suborner, Mor rill, will some day find their deserts, am be compelled to hide away in their nu tive holes. Even their master, Grunt himself, whose boots they have gone t Washington to lick, will, before lone dismiss them to tho obscurity to wine thoy naturally tend. t Grant himself will ere long, be overwhelmed by tho jus indignation of au outraged people. N mortui, no sot of men, no Government can face such official corruption as uoi breeds und runs riot all over this land It will not do to throw obstados iii th way of investigations; Ibo truth will oui with more or lusa fullness and d mongin rosults. Morton, Coukliug and Nye, ii thu Uuited States Senate, tuny oppos inquiry into all frauds, as they did late) into those of the Now York Castor House; but the indignant voice of th peoplo will again, os in tho casu mci tinned, domaud uud insist upon seurc and probing. And here in our Souther SUtcH,"and notably in desolated Sout Curoliuu, will similar results follow o are now coming to light in the otiBtot house of Now York, und which the Ai ministration is zealously endeavoring t cover op. God send the day of reek ot iog and deliverance soon! Then Coi bin's peddler countenaocesliull no long., glisten with complacency over tho pr< oeeds of half a dozen offices; tbc uiuistt Chamberlain shall jump from tho frying pan to the fire, for investigations nw? bim "to hum," as well as bern; an Merrill, tho gallant informer, bc lioistc upon tho petard which he himself lu pluuted for tho destruction of tho i ii QI cent.

NEGRO RIOT AT JRSTJP, GaonoiA.-A despatch, nuder date of January 21, from Jesup, Georgia, says: About 9 o'clock, last evening, at a frolic in this place among the colored popnlation, there ocourred, as usual, a row and general disturbance of the peace. The marshal was ordered to ar? rest the disturbers, but was resisted in tho discharge of his duties by tho ne? groes, and two of his assistants shot. The negroes then made good their escape. About 2 o'clock, this morning, however, they returned with a larger party, all armed, and endeavored to murder Mr. Harry Whaley and his clerk, because they refused to sell them whiskey, whioh had beeu prohibited by tho Mayor. The negroes also threat? ened to burn down the placo and kill all tho inhabitants, saying that they were the proper marshals of tho law. Upon learning this, tho Mayor and marshal, and some, other assistants, weut again to arrest them, sud wero tired into, but without effect. They then returned thc fire at tho negro rioters, killing one of tho ring-leaders and capturing throe others. The others made thoir escape, aud have not benn heard of since.

A MEMORARLE CAUEBII -When it is remembered that Pius IX is more than eighty years of iig:?, aud'that, though a healthy old mun, ho is of ruttier pletho? ric habit, it is not strange that his recent sudden illness should cause some appre? hensions. The New York h.r<inin>j Post remarks that around the career of Pitia IX thero childer more important associa? tions than around uuy pontificate since that of Leo X-wo bad almost said ot Hildebrand. Both in its temporal and in its spiritual aspects it is most notable. Its term includes tho revolution of 1848, with tho Pontiff at tho head of u liberal movement, the risc aud fall of tho second French Empire, tho development of Prussia, the revival of tho Gormau Em? pire, thu civil war in America, tho loss to the Popu of tho temporalities, and the consolidation of tho Kingdom of United Italy. In its religious aspects, it com? prises the definition of the dogma of tho immaculate conception, the assembling of tho Vatican Council, and tho procla? mation of Papal infallibility. Ho!

Tbe latter gentleman was standing in front of the Columbia Hotel, abont 7 o'clock, when Mr. Porcher ap? proached him and demanded an expla? nation cf certain derogatory remarks whioh he had heard that Mr. Seibels made about him. The explanation not being satisfactory, Mr. Poroher drew a cowhide uud struck Mr. Seibels several blown across the faco. The insult was promptly resented by Mr. Soibels, and a fisticuff ensued, nntil Captain Tnpper aud other friends intervened and sepa? rated tbe parties.

Sud Byss, in a surly tone, "Are yon, sir, the correspondo ut of the Charleston NewsT" ,4Iam," repliod Mr. Tomlin* soo. ''Did yon," fiercely inquired Byes, "write that scurrilous article about my being cowhided the other day?" "Well," said Mr. Tomlinson, "I pre? sume I did; I write .all the communica? tions from this place to the Newe." With that the doughty champion of the ring swore a frightful oath,- and, easting aside his over-coat, drew from his per? son a bran-new green cow-skin switch, and, with a flourish, raised it aloft, sud wu* in the adt of striking Mr. Tomlin - son, when that gentleman drew his re? volver, and Byas ignominiously jamed and fled towards the Speaker's room j*Ie turned c?es Just befcro iszciisg door and brandished his cow-skin,' and I then it was that Mr. Tomlinson fired, i The ball struck Byas in the side, inflict? ing a slight flesh wound. He rushed pell-mell into tho Speaker's room, and the door was slammed to, to prevent Mr. Tomlinson from pursuing him. This, however, he had no desire to do, but stood quietly in his tracks till an ei oited crowd gathering around, be was arrested by Mr. H. W. Hendricks, and assured of his protection. An eager and angry mass of negroes soon collected in the lobby, and some direful threats of vengeance were made, until it was understood hew the shoot? ing occurred, when Mr. Tomlinsons aotion was conceded to be justifiable, even by the negroes. There was some apprehensions of au attempt to Lynch Mr. Tomlinaon at first, but Mr. Hen? dricks, who acted in a very commenda uble manner, succeeded ic saving him from the clutches of the mob, and turned him over to Sheriff Frasee. Mr. Tomlinson was released daring the day, on a bail bond of $700. Byas was in his seat before the Honso adjourned, and had evidently been woree frightened than hurt. He took a novel mode of retaliating for the cowhiding he received from Williams, and succeeded about as he deserved. LOST OF NEW ADVK irrisini?^TS. Palmetto Firemeu'e Fair. D. O.
