School Teachers Pay Certificates^
It is a strange circumstance to us, that
?these debts have not been paid before now.
About the laat'of May, we alluded to the fact
that the School Commissioner of the County,
had been to Columbia and interviewed the
Hon. J. K. Jij.lson, State Superintendent
of Education, who then .and there promised
4l.nf flio Clings nooowarir thr the luillidiltion
of these demands, would be forthcoming
about the first of J un6. As we then intimated
that we put no faith in the promises
of such men, so has the result proved, for
here we are, at the 22d day of June and not
one cent as yet. Necessarily the fault lies
somewhere. An act of the Legislature, approved
February 23, 1871, appropriated
$40,000 to supply this deficiency, to be
paid by order of the State Superintendent
of Education with the approval of tho governor,
and "no part of said appropriation
shall be used for any other purpose than the
payment of the salaries of teachers." An
act, approved March 1, 1871, provides that
within fifteen days after the apportionment,
by tho State Superintendent of Education,
? of the State School Fund, and the annual
taxes collected by the State, for tho support
of schools, the State Treasurer shall pay the
several Countv Treasurers the apportion
ment of the fund and taxes, belonging to
their respective Counties, according to the
certificate of State Superintendent of Education.
Sec. 2, provides that the County Treasurers
shall retain all the poll tax collected
in their Counties, "and it 'is hereby made
their duty to keep an accoiint of all the poll
tax collected in each Parish or Township,
in his County; arid the tax so collected
shall be expended in the Parish or Township
from which it was collected and Section
3rd provides that upon failure of the
State or County Treasurers to comply with
the Act, he or they shall be deemed guilty
of misdemeanor, and upon conviction, pay a
fine of not less than $500, nor more than
$5000, or imprisonment, in the discretion of
the Court.

priates $150,000 in addition to the capitation
tax, for the support and maintenance of
free shools. .
Where does the fault lie ? With the Sujx?rin#?nfl?nt
of fJdneation, the State or the"
County Treasurers?" The first is exempt
from the penalty of the violation of the act
second above recited, but fortunately, he j
is not exempt from the criticisms of the |
press, whose business it is to expose failure
of performance of duty. If with the State
Treasurer, he has probably, stolen enough to
pay ten times the amount of tho penalty,
and CQuld not be hurt, and it is extremely
doubtful whether a jury composed of the
usual material could bo induced to convict
' him. If with the County Treasurers, it is
within the province of the Grand Jury to
investigate, report, indict and try them for
violation of the law. *- .

sort of attention to letters addressed to him,

which is another suspicious sign.- The Go' wrnor
makes promises, which, somehow, are
never fulfilled. The County Treasurer makes
explanations which exempt him from blame
and caste it upon the Superintendent of Education,
who, in turn, casts the onus upon
the County Treasurer; and altogether,Jhings
are in a very unsatisfactory condition. If
we are to judge of the success of the system
of free schools by the usual rules, we are
compelled to pronounce ours an egregious
failure; a humbug, and a disgrace to all connected
with it. We would sincerely like to
have the subject ventilated, but such wish
will not probably be fulfilled, since in silence
lies the chief strongth of those who hold
the,reins of government.
Death of lion. C. X. Yallandigham.
f The telegrams bring us tidings of the
death of this distinguished jurist and politi
cian. The manner of his death was very
strange, and shows how suddenly and awfully
a man may Be called from t ime to eternity.
Buta few weekssince, Mr. Vallandingham,
in a publie meeting in his native State Ohio,
introduced, and in a speech of great force,
sustained certain resolutions indicative of
V
what should be the future policy of the Democratic
party, to which resolutions, the
leading Badical papers have given the name
" The New Departure." The platform therein
laid down, does not materially differ from
that adopted by the Union Reform Party of
South Carolina in the campaign of last year.
Mr. ValbndighMn had a distinguished
position among the lawyers and leading politicians
of the country, and his "New Departure"
shows that he was not lacking in
statesmanlike qualities. The country can
i)iv afford to lose his eminent services in a
crisis like the present.

was still conscious, but in great pain.
An internal hemorrhage is probable. His

The Closing Scenes.
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun gives the following account
of the closing scenes connected with the trial
of Bowcn, the convicted bigamist, and cx-Ile
publican member of Congress from South
Carolina:
The district courts are furnishing of late
quite a number of causes cclcbrcs to criminal
annals. The termination of the trial of C.
C. Bowcn to-day, like the closing scenes in
that of Holster, a few weeks since, presented
many .sensations. To the notoriety of the
prisoner, and the curiosities of his marital
experience, which have attracted general attention
to the cause pending against him,
there was added a public defence by thccul?u
i.;a nr.n/tunf on/1 nil tho. nsithetic sen
pi ll/ U1 UIC VUllUUWj wi.? |
sation that grows out of evidences of womanly
devotion to a man whom all else have
abandoned.
The court had been opened at an hour (9
o'clock) unusually early,"and there were but
few spectors of the scene which took, place.
Judge t)lin read a terse opinion, overruling
the motion to suspend sentence, and then
called on Bowcn to say why sentence should
not be pronounced. Bowen rose to reply,
but was stopped by Mrs. King-Bowcn, who
clung to him and would not let him stir. In
a few moments he quietted her, and proceeded
to vindicate himself,' declaring that lie
acted on the faith of the New York divorce,
and if that waS wrong, it was not his fault,
and that he relied likewise upon the act of
Congress, which freed from the penalties of
bigamy parties deserted for more than five
I years. He said :
i?X a? lirad and worn out-with this pursuit
of me. Tho whole combined South, at
[ one time, attempted to fight the Government
of the Vn'ted States. They continued it for
four years, and. failed. It is useless, it is
folly for any man to attempt it. One man,
without money, and, perhaps, a limited number
of friends, to cope with this government
in a prosecution of this or any other kind,
is impossible. They pay their spies. They
pay their men. They ransack the country
i'rom one end to the other, having all the
money needed at their command. In this I
do not mean to cast any impmuuumj or jck
floctions upon the District Attorney or his
assistant. I only say I am tired and worn
out. A new trial is spoken of I do not^
know that 1 have any assurances of a better
result. NoUthat I have acted wrong in this
case intentionally, your Honor, but sent to
prison' at this time, what could I hope if a
new trial* were granted this fall, and I returned
here without'money, without friends,
and was put upon trial a second time ??These
gentlemen (District Attorney and his
assistant) having the privilege and the means
of roaming the country to- hunt up all sorts
of witnesses, it seems to mo that I oould not
hope for a much better result.
" In conclusion, I say that whatever punisment
may fall upon my head, I stand here
to receive it. F rom the commencement of this
affair, I have not shirked. I married that
woman (pointing to his wife) last August,
in good faith. Though the laws of the eountay
many annul that, I have a firm belief
that the laws of God ucverwill. when what
- -1 * . t \ ,1 .
ever punishment that inay DC innictea Dy mis
court shall have been served out, if we are
spared, (turning to his wife, who rises and
receives nis extended hand,) I return to her.
[Mrs. Bowen here clung closely to her husband.
Mrs. Bowen, in a moinont or so, resumed
her scat at the request of her husband.]
uOne word more, and I am done. To
these gentlemen, who kindly offered to go
my bail, I am much obliged. I have acted
by them, as I have in this whole transac.
tion, in good faith. To-day they are relievedI
am truly grateful to them.
"Now your Honor, I am done. Pass your
sentence. You know the case and the circumstances
that surround it."
The Court?The sentence of the court is,
Bowen, that 'you be confined for two years
in the Albany penitentiary.
Mrs. Bowen?(Clinging closely to her
husband, in a feeling manner, said in a firm
yet gentle voice:) "If he did it, I did it. If
he is to bo sentenced, please sentence me.
You have no right, your Honor, before God
Almighty, to visit punishment upon him
nlnnn fnr what T did also. With that record
in my hand, I Btand before this court and
my God. I procured it. It was obtained
in good faith. If irregular, if invalid, we
are not in fault. Oh, sentence me! I cannot
part from him. IIo is too pure, too good.
I ou know him not. I do know him."
The Court?Madam, I have'a duty to perform
here, and, while I sympathize with
you from the hottom of my heart, I must
still perform that duty. In addition, Mr.
Bowen, to the imprisonment for two years in
Albany penitentiary, you will pay a fine of
$250.
I hope the warden of the jail, if you are
committed to his custody, wilUpostpone the
execution of the sentence until you have an
opportunity to apply to some of my brethren
on this bill of exceptions for a stay of the
execution bf the sentence. I may be mis*
taken.V; I do not profess to be unerring
about this, but. I have given my best judgment
to ifc. The case is so sad that it drawB
blood from the'heart. You are a man of
great intelligence. You are surrounded.in*
such a way that it is sad to be compelled, as
I think I am compelled, to pass the sentence
of the law. I wish from tho bottom of my
heart that it were otherwise. 13ut I have
brought my best judgment to the case. Tho
law must be administered, however high
your social position may . be, and however
sorrowful the surroundings may be. If I
had any doubt about the rightfulness of the
verdict, I might have taken another course.
Hut I do not see how I could do it. While
-I sit here I must perform my duty as I understand
it. ' %.
Bowen then Bpcnt some time in the mar
shal's office, a message Deing sent, in 10 tne
reporters requesting that ho be allowed to.
see the report of his speech. After a short
stay there, he departed for jail in a hack,
and was, with Mrs. King-Bowen, furnished
comfortable quarters by Warden Crocker.
Application for respite of the sentence will
be made immediately, it is said, to Judge
Humphreys.
Tiie Bowem Case?Efforts for Par;
don?A dispatoh from Washington to the
New York papers is as follows: "Mrs.
King-Bowen is already at work procuring^
influence to secure her husband's pardon;
and though Bowon's career has been a long
I series of law-breaking, culminating with his
service in the rebel army, public sentiment
is in favor of his pardon on account of Mrs.
King, whose first husband,was killed in the
rebel army at the battle of Secessionville."

The Buenos Ayres Pestilence.?A
correspondent writes the London Tim#*, under
date of June 1st:
I left Buenos Ayres on the 14th of April,
and from the beginning of the plague until
that date had sad experience' of every phase
and detail of the calamity. I am, therefore,
enabled to speak with accuracy on the subject.
The population 6f Buenos Ayres is about
(from varions causes it is difficult to take a
census there) 200,000. The germ of diseases
was imported from Paraguay and Corrientes
.early in January. Up to the end of March
the whole number of deaths was 20,000.?
The inhabitants who had the means removed
to the country districts, which, without exception
were, and continue to be, free from
the disorder, and the accommodations in the
little towns of Flores, Bclgrano, &c., were
comfortable and decent in every respect, and
thero was an abundance of "every class"~or
food, &c. ,
? There is no mystery as to the ennso of this
fatal malady in a^ify populated as stated
abovq, end ontirely without tl?e most ordinary
sanitary arrangements?no roads, no
drainage, almost no pnre water, no baths,
and a system of cesspools which probably
have no parallel in the history of civilization.
The climate is, perhaps, the finest in the
world, and its beauty lulled the people into
a careless security, until the filth and the
crowds of the city were ripe and ready to roccive
and propagate tno insidious disease.?
The Indians and natives were, the chief sufferers.
These people live in a filty and ineagro
way,' hate soap and water, and do not
: know what ventilation means.
The malady is now gradually declining,
and doubtless will die during the cold motfhs,
from J une to October. Meantime the authorities
are taking active measures to make up
"for their previous neglect, and the wants indicated
above will soon be supplied. .

Tiie IIorribi.e Famine in Persia.?A J
correspondent of the Levant Herald, writing ,
from Tabrcez, April 30, gives an accdupt of
the famine, which goes to confirm tlifi later
tnlefrrntiliie news of extremities to which the
people have been reduced. The writer says:
The details which reach us hereof the j
destitution and misery which the drojight of <
lost season has caused in the cental and <
Southern provinces of Persia are icbrfnlly
heart-rending. That the people are dying
of hunger even in the streets of the capital is
a minor phase of this terrible cnlamily. ]n
Khorassan parents arc selling their children
as slaves to the Turcomans iu order to keep 1
them alive, and in Ispahan, as is said, men ,
tiotrn hrv*n spizpH in the act of dicriae? no 1
the corpses to serve as food for their'starving
families. In Shiraz-Kerman and Yezd thc
wretched sufferers endeavor to support life
on the grass and roots which they may find
in the neighborhood, and. as might b? eipected,
pestilence follows hard on the footsteps
of famine; between them, the half of
the Kingdom of Persia is being rapidly dopopulated.
We have already published statement# (
concerning a Tate speech of the Emperor of
Brazil, in which ho has taken the initiative

It may now be added that the Brazilian Government
has presented to the Chambers a j
bill for the emancipation of all slaves bolong- ^
ing to the crown. The bill provides also ^
that convict slaves are to become frecafter'
seven years imprisonment, their owners re- ,*

whole scheme, we are told, meets with string J

Fearful Disaster at Sea.
FIVE nUNDREl)" COOLIES ROASTED ALIVE (
OR DROWNED?THE CREW ESCAPE IN THE (
BOATS?nOBRIBLE DEATHS. - |>
San Francisco, June 13.' {
Details of the total destruction by fire of j
the Peruvian ship Don Juan, at sea, have
been received. It is supposed that sh? was 1
set on fire by tho coolies entrapped on board
pt Macao, "Ghina. The crew abandoned
the vessel, leaving 550 coolies fastened un- "
der tho hatches. Five hundred wero roasted
alive, and the others escaped when the
batches burned off. The vessel wus Ameri- '
can built, and sold in San Francisco to
"Compania Martima -do .Peru^L-and?ra?_ _
christened Do Ores Uquarte. She was fitted 1
out here for the coolie trade, and returned .
several times for supplies.
The following particulars of the disaster ,
are given: - - 1
The Don Juan loaded at Macao on the 4th 1
of May, taking 650 coolies on board for !
Peru, and on the 6th of May was b rned to J
the water's edge not more than fifty miles
from Hong Kong. The coolies who have
arrived in Hong Kong all aver that their
treatment was humane, and they had nothing
to complain of, either as to allowance of
food or variety or quantity, and the whole
affair was accidental The other view, that j
the vessel was set on fire by designing men !
among'the Chinese, is not impossible. One '
of the men distinctly avers that he heard !
the explosion of gunpowder aft, &nd also
smelt a strong oder of it. Others assert* J
they did net hear any report, and that they i
were nearly overpowered by sickness from i
the smell of the ship's material burning aft. j
?It" is to bo regretted that tho Tiuropean
who had the humanity to open the hatches
did not succeed is saving his own life,, as
he was overtaken by the coolies, who made
a rush at tho boat waiting for him, and a
general scramble occurred to get to it, the
Europeans using arms to prevent the coolies '
from getting in it. In tne sccamblc several
Chinese were drowned. The boat, however,
untimately succeeded in getting clear of the
ship, but had not gone far when it upset,
within sight of but not in reach of the coolies.
The coolies seemed to have had a little
leisure to look around, when they observed <
the other three boats at a distence. Du- i
ring this time all the materials of the ship
were rapidly burning, and a large number '
perished in tho hold, some of whom were (
suffocated, nud the cries from othors were
piteous. Man}', however, jumped into the
water and eseaped by-4iuiKnlng the more. ?
horrible^ death by fire A number of them '
remained on tiio elect ana bow8prnr,ana (
whilst In this position one of the mast gave j
way, and the coolies at once made much (
efforts as they could to reach it. Having
got to it they clung with desperation, calling
as loud as they could to save their lives. j
They had not been long in the water before (
a passing junk camo up and they were taken
off two or three at time. The. mast was
held on the wreck by a wire rigging, or it '
would otherwise have drifted "away to sea. '
The coolies state that there.were no less .
than fifty Europeans in the vessel, and it
remains to see what became of them, some, v
no doubt, being lost in the boat.fchat swamped.
It is-reported that thirty of the crew have,
arrived at Macao, and they are unanimous
instating that the coolies mutinied and set
fire to the ship aft, in the hope of pressing all -j
forward,* and so take possession of the vessel. .
It seems they thought the fire could be ex- I
tiuguished afterward. . 1
