WE HAVE RECEIVED a letter from Charleston which says: "Many thousands of people in the State, and particularly in Charleston, will thank the Winnsboro NEWS AND HERALD for the remarks about too much amnesty, and they will also thank the Arewu and Courier for reprinting the same. God grant that the Democratic party may be strictly just, and fear not to do right, let the blow fall where it will. God will smile on us if we are pure." The School Law---An Answer to "Inquirer." In answer to the questions pro pounded by "Inquirer" we will say that the school law underwent thorough revision during the last session of the Legislature, and no legal interpretation having been given of it, some points may not be perfectly clear. An examination of it leads us, with the lights before us, to the following conclusion: The County Board, consisting of the commissioner and two exanin era, has the authority to examine all candidartes for toeichera; to be an advisory body and a tribunal for hearing and determining any matter of local controversy in reference tinof the school laws, subject to aaalto the tatcio eo anirao Examner ; o diidethecounty into suitable school districts; and to appoint school trustees. The school trustees are to organ -ize and elect a clerk, to take the management and control of the local educational interest, of the same, subject to the supervision of the County Board of -Examiners, and to visit each school at least once in every term; also, to hold a regular meeting two weeks before the commencement of any school term, and special meetings when necessary; also, to provide suitable school-houses in their districts and to make the same comfortable, and to employ teachers from those having certificates ; to suspend or dismiss pupils when necessary, and to take care of, manage anda control the school property of the district. As to the payment of teachiers the law provides that each teacher shall make out and file with the clerk of the board of trustees a full and complete report, &c. On the filing of the teacher's rep~ort andl its approval by the board of trustees, their clerk, shall draw an order, in duplicate, on the county treasurer I J for the amount due each teacher, which order, if approved by the county school commissioner, shall be countersigned by himi, and the duplicate filed in his office. SThe law also provides that "when it shall so happen that persons are so situated as to be better accom mnodated'at the sohool of any 'ad joining district, or whenever i tmay be desirable to .establish a school compcosed of yifrts. df tYiO. ..ru-~e of the respective boards of trustees i of the school districts in which such persons reside, or such schools may be situated, or of the school dis tricts or the parts of which the school is to be composed, to trans fer such persons for education to the school district in which such school-house is, or may bo located. From the above we should say: 1. The school commissioner has not the right to establish schools against the wish of the trustees. If any such power exists, it rests with the County Bard of Examin ers. But the location of schoolh coming within the special province of the trustees, only in extreme cases could the Board interfero, and oven then an appeal lies to the State Board. Our interpretation is, that the schoo. commissioner hia no such right. The second question is answered above. 3. Our interpretation of tho law is that the trustees 1ure the parties to decide whether it is desirable to establish a joint school. Whenever a line school' is desired, the proper way is to got the' consent of the trustees before opening the school. Private parties cannot . employ public teachers, else there might be fifty schools in each district. As the trutees are charged solely with the disbursement of funds, they are the ones to locate schools. 'file law provides that all contracts made in excess of appr-opriations are Voi(, therefore trustees are compelled to know in the beginning of tile year just what claims will bo brought against them, otherwiso they would be swamped. 4. If the school commi3sioner endeavors to draw upon tihe school funds without a regular certificate from tile trustees, he can be pro ceeded against on his bond-if not by criminal prosecution. The treasurer would be subject to fino and imprisonment if he paid such claim. Orders on the school fund c.:n be drawn by the trustecs alone, except for the salary of the school commissioner, tile order for which is given by tile County Board of Exnuners. . Tile Constitution provides that the two mill tax shall be divided among tile different districts in each county, according to the school attendance of each district fir time previous year. The poil tax is exp)ended in the towvnshlip in which it is raised. Tile County Board have 110 authority in tile mat ter. Their duty is simply ministerial and the apportionment is guided solely' by .the rules of arlithmolitic. Nd) favoritisml ill ibehalf of any district is p~ossible. A dis trict having five timeIs as mnany scholars as anotiher receives five times as munch money-no more, no less. Tile basis will remain tihe samo until the Constitution is chan ged. We hlave answevred "Inquirer" to tihe best of our ability. ALL SORTS. [ Vir'ginia ( Xec.)

Judge Mackoy is reported to be an ardent advocato of the "color lino" in polities. This is repugnant to the sottlod Opinions of Governor Hamilptonl, and is in con flict with thle Domocratic platform. Jiudgo Mackey is also reported as saying that the :color lino" is the only issue that will provent the interference of the Foderal soldiers ; that if the ques tion wero Republicanimi or Donie racy, the government at Washing. ton would be bound to interpose but if it is white against black, South Carolina will bo left to solvo hbor own problCl. ' This is extravagiant talk, to say the least. The truth is that tho only issio that will bring in the soldiers, if any can, is the identical race or culor issue that Judge Mackey ad Vises. AVe do not regard him as a safo counsellor. A littlo iore than two yeams ago ho wis a rabid Republican, and, as he has boon rewardedl with an oflice by tho Democrats for his work in 1876, lie can tiford to stick to the judicial bench and lot politics alone. We commend to him tihe ex:iiple of his brothron of the bench in this respect. For a politi cal judge, the people of South Caro hina havo no present uso.-.Nws and Uourier.
