CONG jlES&IOAAL. W A ns INC,ton, Nov. Cth.—The House of Ro’/rcsentativcs has p t>seJ the SU- ver Bill, by 103to 34 votes. T!|e weight of a silver dollar, which was the dollar of our fathers, is to be 412i grains troy cfstandard stiver, as provided in the act of 1337. It is thought that the financial question will overshadow every other issue which will come up during the present session. The onti resump, tion party is now strongly in the major ity, and it is thought that majority will be maintained end the Ewing Bid s amended with a bill for the remonetizing uf silver although they may hang fire for a while in the Senate, will pass at the present session. In tho Fen.-.i the Lousiana eases still drag • hair slow iu.ogtU along. The Repubiicaus. whose maj irity upon a tilosO party vote has been five, have us- _’cd tactics to keep the cases jn the c< ui mittecs, so as to prevent an occasion to 'the Democratic force in tha Senate.— Th.y cannot wellnSord to scat Kellogg.’ and if they'can prevent it, will not per* lull Spofford fo take his seat, nor will they declare that there was no valid elec tion for United Stales Senator in Louis iann, for this would have too san e ef fect.

Tho compacting and baking, which our correspondent “V.” and ft he-e complain of, wi'l not take place where surface draining is good, vegetable matter present, and ths sur- focc Isft ri Igcd instead of perfectly fl’at. Some soils of very close texture, and very old lands run down and destitute cf vegetable mattO or very slullow ploughed, do best when left undisturbed until planting time in spring, but as one never has time to break up all his land jost at that juncture, and the baking takes place chiefly from the rains and winds of February and March, it is use less to defer ploughing till spring, anj fall ploughing, when (he land is in order is very dedrable. One very great ad vantage of tho latter is, that very much less liability exists, to plough when the ground is too wot. Another is, the freezes act very beneficially on ail very stiff clays, when ridged, pulverising them, and admitting air which by chem ical action brings new portions of it into condition to ho appropriated by the next crop.—Southern Cultivator, A is Appeal fi-om tlie 'iVQehors [Correspondence of Tne Courier-Journal.; Beach Island, Oct. 25. To the IN it or of tl.z Courier-Journal : As the time is approaching for our Legislators to wend their way towards Columb a, would it not be well (o call their attention to our public schools be fore starting, in order that they can study the question, make some inquiries and, being thus posted, do something for tho benefit of the teachers ? It is a shame iliat they have been treated as badly as .buy haye. I know a teacher hero who has boon teaching for several years, and has nc or been paid up si ice April, 1876. It is true be did get a little money in August last, but a mere pittance; and now comes the tho order to pay no more certificates until the back ones are paid, say for 'he ycani i872-’74, amounting to about §4.000. At the rate the tax is levied and collected, it will take at least thiee years to reach the claims of '877. and in the meantime what arc they to do ’ There is certainly no cncouvapemcnt to continue on. I have been a i'K long Democrat, and yet to the discredit of our Legislature, 1 must say that the Radicals behaved much better to the creditors of the pub!>c lun.d than they have dune, it is true they stole a heap, and levied icry heavy taxes, but with it ail there was scarcely any trouble in getting what wa.e due you. The public school system I have stud ied, and look upon it as one of the grandest fraudes of the 10th century— mainly on account of the way It is managed. A child will leant more in one year at a pay school than they wM in three years at a public one, and there are many reasons why I make this as sertion. I did not start this article to prove what I have asserted, but merely to call the attention of the servants of the people, and to ask them if there is no way of helping the teachers. It is utterly impossible for them to live on promises to pay, and ruinous for tbeni to labor at such small salaries, an sell them cents in the dollar, in order to lirW^fhey had better go at some other business. The pay of the farm laborer is superior to it. If wc could utilize our scrip in the way of paying taxes, it would be a little benefit, but to have several hundred dollars worth of certificates*and then have to take other funds, or borrow from your neighbors, as some have done, to L.ee > their taxes, it as a burning disgrace, n«>t only on our county, baton our State and I for one ac an act of justice, and in behalf of the suffering teachers, call on you to assist them in getting their pay. The members of our Legislature never suffer for their pay—they get the last dollar before leaving for home always— and why should we be treated as if we did not need it, or bad not cained it ?
