Hon. Charles H. Simonton has written the following explanation )f the amnesty resolutions passed by the Legislature, of which he is the author : There seems to be some confusion of ideas respecting the amnesty resolutions adopted by the General &ssembly during the session which has just ended. The objections urged against these resolutions are, first, that they interfere with the right of the ittorney-general to prosecute and with the power of the governor to pardon ; second, that they are im politic and wrong. The law officer of the State :fharged with the duty of prosecut~ ing offenders, can look only into the sufficiency of the testimony. If that be strong enough in his opinion to reasonably secure a conviction, liis duty is to prosecute. With the propriety or policy of such prose . 3ution he has nothing to do. Especially is this the case with the prosecutions in question. In these tll the facts were examined and all the witnesses obtained by the investigating committee. The briefs in the cases were made up under their direction. Now, if it be remembered that the investigation was inaugurated by the Legislature, that it was 2onducted by one of its committees, md that this committee made their report to the Legislature, surely it will be jadnitted that the Legisla ture has the right to express its opinion as to the course of action to be followed upon the results of its own work. If, then, the Legislature, upon receiving the report and examining the testimony, should come to the Conclusion that as to one class of offleders the prosecutions should be pressed, and that as to another class amnesty should be extended, who can complain ? Certainly not the attorney-general, for he had no concern with the motives or policy of the prosecutions. He neither instituted nor advised them. He simply acted under the directions of the Legislature. Surely not the governor. His views were well known anl frequently expressed. The resolutions met with his ap proval. With regard to the policy of the resolutions, they received almost the unanimous concurrence of both houses, in one of them after an earnest debate. They pledge the State to the prosecution of the ringleaders. They except only the tools and instruments in the frauds. They open the door to a general gmnesty for political offenses in this State, which may release from prosecution eight hundred of our own citizens. They save the State from the Bxpense attending a number of prosecutions, the only result of which will be the punishment of persons whose power, to harm has sensed, They calm the excitement wlfich followed the last election, and aid the governor in carrying out his plans for restoring peace in the Staite, and for encouraging our whole people to devote their time mud labor to her material develop rnent. CHARL,Es H. SIMONTON. YOUNG GIRLs.-Oulr young girls lo not understand the witchery of oright eyes and rosy lips, but set off ;heir beauty by all the 'artificial necans wvhich lie in their power, 'ever reflecting that by so doing 1hey destroy their principal charm, ~hat of innocence. Their rounded hoieks, the bright eyes, the waving iair of a girl in her teens need only he simplest setting. Rich fabrics mnd sumptuous adorning are more or the matron, her, dress gaining n ample fold and graceful sweep as ;he puts on the digrity of years. L'he seasons teach us something lore, if we go to nature for an object esson. How different her charm 'rom the dt.op, maturing summer, when the hues are decided, and the air is loaded with perfume from a housand censers. The school girl' s only on the threahold of summer. She has not crossed it yet. Let her opy the sweet grace of the spring mn her graduation day, and discard srtificiality for nature. A gentleman at an eating-house liked the person next himl if he vould please to pss the mustard. 'Sir," said the man, "do you mis ake me for a waiter 1" "Oh, no, ir," was the rely, "I milsto"k you or a aeblamab' GIADED .0IIOOLB. An interesting letter from Hon. Charles Petty appears in the Spare tanburg Rerald, from which we make the following extract : In these schools all the children of the same grade of advancement are placed in the same class. Each class has one teacher. To secure more satisfactory results the number of pupils in a class should not fall below forty, nor exceed sixty. The house must be constructed in such a way that the classes are all sepa rate, and one will not be disturbed by the other. In Richmond the commissioners estimate the cost at $12.85 per pupil the present year. They teach eight to ten months. In Charleston theco schools are very popular, and the best families send their children to them, and will send to no other schools. The number of classes in these schools ranges from six to twelve. The higher the branches taught, the greater the number of classes. In Spartanburg, if you organize a school of this kind, it should be a mixed one. If you were to sepa rate the boys and the girls, the classes would be too small and the expenses too great. A few of your citizens might object to this, but they would soon yield. It would require an additional tax, and per haps for a year or two private con tributions, and those who have no children to educate would object to additional ta. When such persons could be brought up face to face with the benefits of such a school they would willingly pay the tax. These schools give more thorough education. They cost the parent much less than the old system. The teachers do much better work with half the labor. Bosides these ad vantages it would be the best adver tisement your town could publish. These graded schools always draw settlers. The first question asked by a person'looking for a new home is in regard to the schools. A EM4RKAnnLR SCELNE. A remarkable scene occurred some time since at Chester Assize Court. A woman having been found guilty of the slaughter of her husband, Mr. Justice Brett, in an address to the prisoner, dwelt upon the evider.ce of her husband's' long continued brutality received with exemplary forbearance, of the special provocation she had re ceived on the day of his death, of the momentary passion which had moved her to throw a sharpened steel at him, without (the judge be, lieved) any intention of striking him. It did strike the man, and the wife immediately ran for assistiance, and did all she could to save him. The judge then continued-"All the real right in this case was on your side, and all the real wrong on your husband's ; and God forbid that I should punish you. I will be no party to it. I will not allow it to be said by anybody that you are a convicted felon, for a conviction is not complete until a sentence is passed, and I mean to pass no sen-, tence at al'l. I merely ask you to enter into your own recognizance to come up for judgment if called upon ; and nobody will ever call upon you-God forbid they ever should." The address was interrupted by loud cheering in the court, which was renewed when the prisoner loft the dock._______ AN [cE CALcULATJON.-It is esti mated that 3,600,000 tons of ice will be cut in Maine this winter. Now, allow a quarter of a pound of ice for a mint julep, and making allowance for those wvho don't drink, the rest of the peopile in Maine can have about forty-nmne drinks each. Saying that seven drinks will make a man feel tolerably happy, out of forty-nine drink. he can manage to have seven drinks, and one man drunk seven times is, of course, equal to seven drunken men ; so the whole ice crop will yield an aggre. g ate of 2,100,000 drunken men. Suppose that from every ten of those who get drunk seven times one has the jimiams ; 210,000 inen will be thus afflicted-about one third of the total population of the State I If each, of these unfort'unate. men sees 1,000 snakes.. there will be 210,000,000 snakes. seen, 'an allowing twQ snakes- to a boot, they will 1111 S52#500,000 pairs, which its sures brisk- work in the shoe shops..
