The residence of the late Judge Jol Belton O'Neal!, two miles from Ne berry was destroyed by fire on the 14 inst. The house was two stories ai a half high and contained tbirte? rooms.

C , recently found twent six gold pieces, worth ?10 each, in tl heart of a sound tree. They had ev dently been deposited in an artific: hole, closed by the lapse of time, sotm where about 1812. It is probable th the rail splitting business in that se tion will be well patronized for sou time to come. The mild weather of the present Wii ter in the North has been very unfavoi able to travel to the Sunny South, an . railways runniog to Florida have tht far been disappointed in regard to the expected passenger trafile. There ha been, however, considerable trav< Southward on business, and time sti remains for tourist travel, provided th weather grows inclement iu the North. Mr. W. H. Burbridge died Tuesda night,, a little before 12 o'clock, fron the effects of the dreadful injuries re ecived in the Savannah and Charlestoi Railroad accident of Saturday the 21st Mr. Burbridge was born and reared ii Hopkinsville, Ky , and was 26 yean of age. Hts mother arrived in Charles ton about half-past one o'clock Tuesday afternoon, and had the mournful conso lation of being with him in the last moments. George R. Osborne, one ol the postal clerks crushed in the collision died last Thursday making four deaths so far resulting from the collision. The accident will be fully ievestigated. On Sunday morning last, while a construction train on the Charleston and Savannah Railway was aiding io clear? ing away the debris from the scene of the recent coil'ston, two negro children, a boy and a girl, attempted to jump on one of the platform cars. The boy got on and held out his hand to help ii is sister, but she slipped and fell and the wheels of the last two cars passed over her neck, completely severing her head from her body. Trial Justice Taylor held and inquest over the body, and from the evidence it appears plainly that no one was to blame except the children themselves. The verdict of the coroner's jury, who were empanelled to investigate the v n<r s r>..; r found Conductor Hanford, brake Melius, four other persons and the York Central and Hudson River 1 I road Company 'guilty of causing death' of the victims of the disa Hanford, the conductor, has been rested in view of thc fact that he exclusive charge and control, and while it was the duty of Melius, brakeman, to have gone promptly tc rear to notify approaching trains it obligatory upon the conductor to and know that that service was faitt ly performed. Both houses, of the General Ass bly adjourned on last Friday nigt hear an address from Dr. Curry, TJ the influence of Education in the Si The address is said to have been dc ered with unusual force and effect ; with even less effective delivery, ti were many utterances of the spe; which could not but be admired on count of their wisdom and truth, speaking of the necessity of general ucation he said : No money expended is so sure to yiel good return as that judiciously applied to education of the young. The increased ii licence of the people will manifest its pc io the increased ability and skill with wi they engage in their various enterprises ducing, in A single generation, an increas wealth which will far more than compen for all the cost of education. Free schools for the whole people is wisest measure of political economy. Ni ir?g payg better. I am sorry to take this utilitarian view, but there is no truth n certain than that the men who are to incn the wealth of the country will, other thi being equal, be successful in exact propon to their intelligence. The value of a mi services is not dependent upon phys strength, but upon mental capacity. The telligence of the laborer is a factor in waj A man is worth just what bis intellec worth, no less aDd no more. As you go up from day labor theadvant of knowledge and skill becomes more ap rent. What else has given wealth to Netherlands, France, Great Britain and nous States of this Union? Ignorance is g< for nothing. It never creates and never p du ces. Invention and discovery are in ratio that education quickens and stimula; j The physical resources of South Carolina great, but her intellectual treaures are gre er. Aristocracy of talent does not correspc with aristocracy of wealth. If there be ai tocracy of mind the history of the wo shows that it is not in the royal families a in the better born. Your great men, like C j houn, Petigru and McDuffie, have spru j from the body of the people. The soil m j be fertile, phosphates may be a mine of unti I wealth, jour water-power may be capable ! turning endless machinery, but far greater j the wealth that lies in the intelligence, ener j and character of the people. Society cam j afford to sacrifice one-half or three-fourths the best men and women by allowing tl ! proportion to go undeveloped. Society nee [ the activities of every human brain. Sou Carolina needs a high state of general intel gence to make science preside over labor, d fuse wealth, create and diversify indastrii and free schools are thc most economic measure for accomplishing this end. Man has a function which is a part of t governing power. He is a voter, witnes juryman ; he may be a judge, legislator, e ecu ti re. The last census shows in Sou Carolina 331,780 persons, nearly one third the population, over ten years of age wi cannot read. It is political suicide not make an honest, energetic effort to remo' this mass of illiteracy. With reference to the most efficient syste of education he said : It is too often the case that officers a ready to employ the cheapest teacher, pay ii less regard to qualification than to prie Local taxation in addition to State appropri: tions secures local interest, enhances thevah of property and invites immigration. Sta control secures gradation of schools. In a the essential elements which go to make u ! a good school-order, adaptiveness, econoro efficiency-the graded schools are far superic to the ungraded. An obvious advantage the increased productiveness of the teacher labors without any increase of expense. Tl [ time given to pupils is greatly increased I the pupils are properly classified. A class < twenty can be as well instructed as a singl I pupil in the same time. The difficulty ( j governing increases with the. multiplication ( classes. The fundamental principle of the admit istration of a system of public instructior j lying back and beneath all other inquiries i is the teaching. The one vital condition c i a good school is a good teacher. That wani I ing, system, machinery, money are fruitless School houses, apparatus, classification, su pervasion are important, but wbolly inade quate until vitalized by the living teachei and the State does little or nothing for popu lar education if it does not see that thos who give themselves to teaching are well pre pared for the work. He who undertakes th awakening, enlightenment and guiding c j the soul needs special preparation. The testi mony of public opinion is that every pur suit of life demanding skill and kuowledg requires also special preparation. The preach er, the lawyer, the doctor, the dentist, th? engineer, the artizan, the cook and evei the nurse require special training sbools True education is based on principles tba involve the nature of the human mind-tht faculties of the mind and the law of growtl of those faculties. Teaching is the art ol presenting objects of thought to the mind and the problem involves three elements matter, method, mind. Out of the child i? to be developed, not created, a man or f woman. The instruments of developmen are the studies of tbe curiculum. . The facul ties are to be brought into vital contac: with these subjects of thought, which are thc instruments of development The teachei should know the structure of the mind to bc developed, the value of each study as an in? strument for that development. The particu ! Iar faculty which it is adapted to exercise and cultivate, and all true principles of education are derived neccessarily from aa analytical study of the child's mind. There is a lamen? table lack of well-qualified teachers Some are an honor to their calling, some a disgrace, j Of science and literature, cf art, of teaching, j even mechanically, or the nature of the j human mind, some have not the faintest con? ception. The difference between the best and and poorest schools is as wide as the differ? ence between barbarism and civilization. Many persons drop into teaching a3 a mere makeshift, and many others are employed because they are cheap. The State needs i spen?! agencies for the training of teachers, : and of these Normal schools are the most ap ! proved and the best. Speaking of the great value of Normal in? stitutes for the proper training of teachers, j Dr. Curry said with great earnestness : "If I the General Assembly of South Carolina will j before its adjournment establish a Normal Institnte for the Education of white and color? ed teachers, I will guarantee to contribute $3,000 for every $10,000 appropriated by the > CV.-..?. i.>li.:i? ii*- '!i . L' ii?s'a ture upon its wisdom in appropria seventeen thousand dollars to the S< Carolina University and the Cita recognizing in it a mark of progr but had he fully known of the depl ble inefficiency of the public school tem in some of our counties, ma owing to meagre appropriation, he wi have doubtless questioned the g wisdom of making an appropriator that class of instruction, in view of number of colleges already in the St THE GUITEAlTTRIAL. -o The Guiteau trial has come to a cl For ten weeks its details have occu] the most prominent places in the nc papers, and occupied the attention the reading public. Never before I the proceedings of a court been so w ly published, nor awakened the inte of so large a number as this. It wc be difficult to determine which of features were most characteristic of trial: The prisoner's absurd asserti of patriotism and injured innocence, amusing retorts and criticisms, and assumption of dignity and superioi which rendered it so ridiculous, or profane and vulgar utterances wh rendered it so disgusting. The verdict of the jury has been ready widely criticised, both favor a and otherwise, and . we do not prop to add another criticism here. 1 majority of the public seem to be sa 6ed, and if Guiteau has the faith in C which he professes, be will doubtless satisfied too. The trial has ended, t the public are for the most part ri? glad of it ; the miserable prisoner I already received enough attention a gained sufficient notoriety to be fore hereafter forgotten. The causes wh led to the assassination of the Presid? will probably remain a mystery ; so will ever regard it the work of a lunat others attribute it to a desire to gi notoriety, and others to simple mali* So far as the Court is concerned it t given the prisoner as fair and impart a trial as it could possibly do, a though the prisoner may have been irresponsible as was claimed by 1 counsel, it was not made sufficient evident to admit of his acquittal. Judge Cox, in the opinion of t public, expounded the law both as the evidence and the rule of enraie responsibility, with great fairness a: in accordance with the circumstanc connected with the case. The common law does not recognt moral insanity as a legal exemption fro punishment. In the celebrated case Hadfield, tried in England, over a cet tury ago, for shooting at the King the Drury Lane Theater, Lot Erskine laid down tbe rale that, wbe: there was no frenzy or raving madnes the true test of insanity wa9 delusion < intellect; and that where there w; delusion, which was in any way cot nected with the act charged as a erinn the accused was exempt from liability : criminal punishment, although sane an mentally bright on other subject This test of insanity was adopted in tl English courts and also in the courts < this country. Scoville and Reed Guiteau's atto: neys, have filed motions for a new tria Scoville's bill of exceptions, to whic he refers in general terms in his motio for a new trial, will be an exceeding] voluminous document, and will not i ready for some time yet. To use hi own expression, "it embraces a recor of thc entire trial." Judge Cox has nc yet set a day upon which to hear argi ments upon the motion, Guiteau take matters quite easy, and is reported t have said : 'I am well, slept well last night, ha a shave and a bath this morning, and expect to be happy and live a goo many years yet, As for committio; suicide,' he continued, 'I am the las man in the world to resort to such step.' What the Government Had to Pa: to Convict Guiteau. WASHINGTON January 25-It can not definitely be learned what Judgi Porter and Mr. Davidge are to receiv? for their services as special prosecuting officers, but from the hints thrown out i is believed that their fee will not bi exaggerated when placed at ?15,000 fo each of them. Including Saturdaj j next in the days of the trial, it wil ? bring the pay of the jurors as follows For five ?620 ; for four 488 ; for th re? ?360 ; total ?1,468. In addition t< this comes the hotel board bill, whicl is presumed will not exceed ?3 50 pei day per man. With this must also be included the three bailiffs in attendance upon the jurors. This foots u?* the handsome sum of ?3.213 to be paid tc the proprietors of the National Hotel. For witnesses, including mileage, there bas been paid out ?8,078 35. Of this sum ?5,189 85 was paid in be? half of the Government and ?2,88S for the defendant, and of thc latter ?389 25 went to the Guiteau family and their connections. For reporting j and printing the trial and papers used 1 in thc case preparatory to the hearing, j it is estimated that ?5,000 will bc re quired. For seven deputy marshals ! used in thc halls and the chamber 1,302 j will be ncccessary. Then there are the j miscellaneous expenses, such as the phy I sicians' charges, medicines, chairs for j the Court room, and incidentals too numerous to mention, but which will tako about ?1,000 to cover-making a grand total of ?50,061 85. - wm .?????? -1 - I The Chili Peruvian correspondence ! submitted to the Senate last Thursday j iu response to a resolution calling for it, j is very voluminous, about a bushel-has ! ket full. The most important docu { ment is a letter from Secretary Frcling ! huysen, abrogating a considerable part ! of Blaine's instructions to Trescott and j Walker Blaine, which, Frelinghuysen I say8,if fully carried out. may lead to seri j ous complications with Chili, and as this j country has uo navy, she is in no con I ditton to enforce any demand circum I stances might compel her to make upon j Chili. Frelinghuysen disapproves en I tirely of the proposed visit of Blaine and j Truscott to other South American nations j than Peru and Chili, and thiuks that j whr?n their mission to those countries is THE LEGISLATURE. THURSDAY, January 26.-In the Sen? ate after the reception of numerous bills from the House, which lie over for con? sideration until to-morrow, the third reading bills were taken up and the fol? lowing passed and ordered to be en? rolled for ratification : j Bill to provide for the preparation of rolls of troops furnished by the State of j South Carolina to the army of the Con federate States; and of the militia of the State in active service during the war between the Confederate and United States ; joint resolution to refund to the Greenville Guards fifty-nine 70-100 dollars expended by them for transpor? tation to Yorktown ; bill to incoporate the Bellemonte Manufacturing Com? pany. The bill to incoporate the Southern Land Loan Association came up as the second special order, was productive of a short debate and was passed to its third reading by a vote of-yeas 18 nays 12. In the House the following reports of committees were presented : Incorporations-Favorably on bills to charter the Alston, Orangeburg and Charleston Railroad, and to incorporate the city of Anderson. Ways and Means-Unfavorably on the petition of citizens of South Caro? lina to make Professor F. S. Holmes j State Geologist. Mr. Murray's concurrent resolution to adjourn on the 10th of Feburary was passed and sent to thc Senate. A bill to charter the Florence Kail road Company was read a third time and sent to the Senate. On motion of Mr. Haskell, the House took a recess of tan minutes, when Mr. Simons, of Charleston, stepping .upon thc Speaker's rostum, surprised Colo? nel John T. Sloan by addressing him as follows : Mr. Sloan : Your friends, members of the House of Re presen tat?es, most heartily and sincerely congratulate you on the recent celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of your wedding. It is seldom permitted to any man to cele? brate such an event. How many of those with whom you commenced life's journey have ended theirs. Of those whose congratulations half a century ago greeted you on the occasion of your marriage how few remain to reiterate I them now. It is nearly thirty years j since you were selected to fill the office I of Clerk of the House of Representa I tires and since you have been identified ! with Legislature of the State. It would be less than the truth to say you have I been second to none in the discharge of I the onerous and responsible duties of I your important office, without distinc I tion of party. Your friends in the ? House have embraced the opportunity afforded by the interesting occasion to present to you a testimonial of their regard and esteem ; of their apprecia? tion of the fidelity and courtesy which have always distinguished your official career. To me it is peculiarly gratify? ing to have been selected to convey to you the sentiment of my colleagues. My relations to you, as you know, are the inheritance of a friodship long ante? dating that happy occasion, the golden celebration of which this testimonial I now hand you is intended to commemo? rate. We earnestly hope that in your advancing years you may be blessed with continued health and happiness. He then presented to him a handsome gold watch and chain, suitably in? scribed. Mr Sloan replied, with assurances of his gratitude to the members of the House of Representatives for the mag niScent testimonial, and proceeding to j speak of his first connection with the Leg? islature, and the warm personal friend I ship that existed between himself and j the father of Mr. Simons, he said : 'In 1854 we were again thrown together and our friendship strengthened and ce? mented. He, the peerless presiding officer of the House of Representatives, and I for the first time had the honor of being selected Clerk. That historic hall was reduced to ashes by a vandal foe. It is a melancholy fact, sir, that your distinguished father, the Speaker, and ninety-seven members of that body are numbered among the dead. Of the j twenty-six survivors I notice only three j in this House-Mr. B. H. Rice, the ' senior member from Union, Mr. J. K. j Vance, the Bill Clerk, and Mr C. H. ! Simon ton, the learned Chairman of the j Committee of the Judiciary, who was j then associated with rae at my desk, j At 3 P. M. the House took a recess I until 7.30 P.M. Night Session.-The House met at i 7.30 P. M., with a good attendance in I spite of the attractions of the 'Trouba ! dours,' and proceeded to the considera j tion of bills on the calendar. Three hours steady work disposed of thirty bills. Among those passed to a third reading was a bill to incorporate the Columbia Railway Company. ? When thc bill to prohibit the sale of I lager beer, wine or any intoxicating li i quors within five miles of certain church i es in Sumter County was reached, Mr. i Simonton moved to strike out the enact? ing clause. Mr. Scarborough opposed the motion. Mr. Murray thought that the exist I ing prohibition outside of incorporated ! towns and villages covered the ground j fully and that there was no necessity j for the bill. ? Three votes were taken, resulting in a tie, which the Speaker decided by voting for the motion. So the bill was killed. j FRIDAY, January 27.-The Senate ; met at 12 M., President Kennedy in j the chair. ? The second special order-a bill to j provide for the assessment and taxation j of property-was called up. This is a very voluminous bill, con ! taining 304 sections, and numerous ! amendments being proposed, the pro ; gross of the reading was slow, notwith ? standing the fact that the reading clerk i employed his lungs to the best advan ! tage. At 3.15 P. M., the Senate took a re? cess until 7.45 P. M , when thc mem? bers marched in a body to the hall of Representatives to hear Dr. Curry's ad? dress. The Senate then adjourned. The House met at ll A. M., Speak? er Sheppard in the chair. Routine business, the Calendar, and the disposition of Claims presented for payment occupied the larger part of the day. A message was received from the Senate asking a committee of free con? ference on the railroad bill ; also that they had refused to concur in the resolu? tion to suspend the sale of delinquent lands and extend the time for payment of taxes and penalties on same until March 1st. At 3 P. M. the House took a recess ii,.til 7 30 V M. The House met at 7.30 P. M. Mr. Johnstone, for the Committee of Ways and Means, reported a bill to make appropriations for the per diem, mileage and pay of officers and em? ployees of thc General Assembly, which was made the special order for to-mor? row and until disposed of. Messrs. Simons, Murray and John? stone were appointed a committee of conference on the railroad bill. At 8 o'clock the Senate attended in the House, when the Joint Assembly was addressed by Hon. J. L. M. Curry on the subject of education, ct the close of which the House adjourned. SATURDAY, January 28.-In the House to-day the bill to amend chapter 97, Section 5, part 2, of the General Statute, in relation to insolvent debtors, passed a second reading. The purpose of the bill is to put a stop to fraudulent assignments. The bill to amend the Act to divide the State into five Congressional Dis tricts so as to put Sumter in the Fourth District and Lancaster in the First Dis trict was killed. The Supply Bill was submitted by the committee on ways and means, received a first reading and was made the special order for Monday. The State tax is five mills exclusive of the two mill constitutional school tax. In the Senate the concurrent resolu? tion of the House to adjourn sine die on February 10th, was amended by fixing February 8th as the day for adjournment. The Lartigue bill to regulate the sale of intoxicating liquors was rejected. The bill to exempt Charleston, Col leton, Beaufort, Hampton, Williams? burg and Clarendon from the provisions of the Stock Law by the construction of a boundary fence not to exceed a cost of ?10,000, to be paid out of the State treasury, was rejected by the deciding vote of the president, the vote standing 12 to 12. The resolution providing for the in? troduction of a bill to repeal the usury laws of the State, submitted by Mr. Smythe several days since, was adopted. On account of some verbal changes that should be made in Section 21 the vote on the Election bill by which the Senate concurred in the House amend? ments yesterday was reconsidered, and on motion of Mr. Perry the Senate re? fused to concur. A committee of con? ference consisting of Messrs. Perry, Maxwell and Henderson was appointed on the part of the Senate to confer with the House committee and make the nec? essary changes The Senate then ad? journed until ll A. M. Monday.
