I There it sot enough of it yet to work a for the better, but it's coming. [Yea, we are glad to tee the patront dis isnriiied about the schools, and hear these complain over uncomfortable rooms, thort school terms and incom [setent teachers. There is abundant [room for complaint in til these matters, asd when the people talk these short comings over, and have their minds thoroughly impressed with the fact of their existence, they wilt make an effort to have them improved. They, of course, will come to the School Com missioner first, and he will show them, if their minds are open to conviction, that tbc school law it not responsible, nor are the officials necessarily to blame. Theas gentlemen eas and should do towards obviating the evi? com plained of, but it will be plainly seen that they eas not do all. Then the convic tion s?l possibly come home to the pareste that perhaps they themselves are somewhat to blame. After think* tug over the matter ihey will see that the money collected for the use of the public schools can not run them for a longer term than at present. They will understand that well trained teach ers eas not afford to take a four months' school at a low salary and with no assurance of work the remainder of the year. They will also see that the trus tees can not very well afford to spend any larger portion of the public money for making houses comfortable without .the teachers' salaries, and see* things, and knowing that the people, and that is to supplement it by alliberai subscription. The patrons of every school should organize themselves into a board of relief. First of all they should tee that the bouse and furniture are comfortable, and if not, they should make them so. It is useless to say tho people are not able. There is not a white school in Sumter County that cannot have a well-arranged, comforta ble room filled with suitable furniture, if each patron will do hit part in the work of renovation and improvement ; they may be uo willing, theyjare not un able. We have no doubt but that "there are a number of schools which could not, without tenons inconvenience, continue at private schools after the public funds are exhau?ted but there are many which can ; and whenever it is possible, it should be done. If the trustees ?r?l not visit the school and tee that it is properly man aged, let the parente do it An occa sional visit from the -patrons encourage both teacher and pupil, and much good will result. This all takes time, but it is for an important purpose, and time thus spent is well spent. And so we will close as we begun by saying that we are glad to see people sameientty interested in schools to grumble about them. Keep on friends until you are thoroughly convinced that we need longer school terms, that there should be more earnest work by teach ers and pupils, aod then go to work and make these things possible by doing year share. _ THE PRESENTMENT OF THE QUAND JTJBY. We call attention to the above named paper which may be found ou ear first It strikte us t'jst several of the ree ommeadatioos merit thoughtful consid eration and we pre them below. After referring to the numerous complaints against the Trial Justice system, the Jury says : "We are of the opinion, however, that if the system of County Circuit Courts, by which the bosinees can be done by one rann who will have stated appointments around the County, as is the case in some other States, could be adopted in this State, it would be an improvement opon oar present Trial Justice yjtem." Some change is urgently needed in the trial of petty criminal cases, and it seems to us that the proposed arrange ment would be eminently wise. Again, "The Public School system as at present ad ministered does not gire satisfaction. In orne eases the Teachers are inefficient, and there are many complaints of irregular hours on their part. Many Trustees, in our opin ion, do not gire proper attention to the con duct of schools ander their charge, and we re commend that those interested ma&e an effort to bare these irregolari ties corrected, either through the Trastees or the Board of County Examiners.'' And agaia, "In the matter of public work by the County Commissioner?, and School Trustees, we re commend that ail work, for building aod re pairs, amounting to $50 and over be adver tised tnd pot out to the lowest bidder." A general advertisement of-Bridges, School Bouses, <fcc , would in all prob ability he tba saving of hundreds of doUsrs each year to the county. And lastly, I "We recommend that the next Legig latore pass an act making the possession of a U. S. License, to sell -liquors prima focit evi .dence ?'fgnUU" Vk '?^-'; - I The passage of s?oh ani-act might cause trouble to law-breakers, bot the rej^^Sankiud would applaud. f^^^aiater Weeds a Broom.

This is sound advice. Lynching and extra-jndicial proceedings arc wholly unnecessary as well ss wrong. Tbey who know ihe facts can, as the Advance says, go to a trial justice and report'the cases to him, and then, if he fail in his duty, his con duct can be laid before the"; Governor. There is, moreover, "ihe'grand jury of the county, whose duty it is to take cognisance of and present to tbe Court violations of law of every kind which are brought "to its knowledge, or which are presumed t? bave occurred.?News and Courier. . ^ - ' We caooot understand why persons, who have knowledge of snch demoral izing crimes as7 arc referred to. above, do not make, some legal effort to check them. Whatever may be said of the Courts in their failure to try or convict such offences, the G. id Jury can not come in for a share of blame, as they have shown every inclination to bring law-breakers to trial ; and even if it goes no further, the finding of a true bill by a Grand Jury is a punishment. Those who are cognizant of these misdemeanors will do much more ser vice by bringing them to the notice of a Trial Jostice or Grand Jury than by publishing it to the world through the columns a paper.

I was surprised to find less than half the usual crowd on the night of tbe election around the bul letin boards. There was but little ex citement, and the aoxious face of tbe government clerk was not to bo seen. Tbe Republican party seems to be surprised and glad that it is alive. As for the Democrats, they hold that it was simply natural that Ohio should go Republican ; it was and is a Republi can state, and the political predilections of tbe people are paramount, and can not be changed permanently by t^jal waves or trickery. The President has nothing to say in reference to the result', and those who expected an expression of opinion were disappointed. Of tbe prominent Democrats, all advanced some reason for the defeat, and Senator Eustis is quoted as having said to a friend that he regarded the result as a rebuke for the President. The most exciting and gossip-giving event of the week was of a diplomatic and saturnalian character. Emanuel Del Campo, secretary of the Chilian legation, was last night arrested aud taken to the Fifth Precinct Station j House for being drunk and disorderly, i In company with Mr. Pcrreard, the i "proprietor of a French hotel, he stood j on tbe eteps of the National theatre' last night about 10:30 o'clock, struggling to enter while bis companion endeavored to dissuade biin from the act. The noise of their scuffle attracted the atten tion of Officer McMahon, who approach ed and at once proceeded to arrest the one who was the most intoxicated and disorderly. This person happejed to be Mr. Del Campo. Mr. Perreard ob jected to the officer's action. 'You can not arrest this man Mie said ; 'no,'sir, you cannot arrest him.' As be did not state any reason why he could not arrest him, the officer con cluded that Mr. Perreard was trying to resist him and lake away his prisoner. He accordingly struck him a blow with his fist and disengaged bis hold upon tbe drunken man be had arrested. Mr. Perreard, who is a Frenchman and nat urally of a hot- temper, became furious at the blow and poured ont a torrent of j j abuse at the officer, who placed him ! j also under arrest. Meanwhile his first i prisoner had been struggling to release j himself, swearing at the officer in a cu rious jumble of French, English, and j Spanish. McMahon. who is a powerful I man, was fjuite capable, however, ofj managing two prisoners at a time, and it was not long before ihe party arrived at the Fifth precinct station house. 'What is your name V inquired the statioo keeper, addressing the drunkeu man. *i am Emanuel Del Campo, of the Chilian Legation,' was the reply ex tracted from the prisoner, amid many oaths aud curses. 'And if you arrest me/ he added, slinking his fist io the station keeper's face, 'I'll have your life.' The handsome face of the man was livid with rage aud b-oated with dissipation. He raved and stormed, knocked the books and inkstand off the desk, and shouted and swore in all the tongues at bis command, 'The differ ence between you and me,' said he to the station keeper, 'is that I am a gen tleman of birth and education, while y0tt?yon?* and here his indignation choked him. 'Miserable', summed up his estimation of tbe station keeper wlie.n. he could regain his speech. As soon as he showed his passport, a proof that he belonged to the legation, the sergeant on duty told him that he was free and could go. 'No,' yelled Del Campo, with excited frenzy, won't go. I'll have Secretary Bayard brought here to prove my identity. Telephone to him you?scoundrel.' ? hansom which had been sent for arrived at this moment, and Del Campo was taken out between two policemen and sent home. What a terrible little game cock of a country Chili is. Our country need not shake in her boots over the events of last night. But it is well understood that the American Navy is not in such an advanced stage of reconstruction as to render a hostile misunderstanding with any foreign power at all desirable ; and it is well known that the Chilian government has a somewhat contemp tuous opinion of the U?ited States, and might jump at this little erneute asa veritable casus helli.

To the People of Sumter Town and County: Dear Friends?For the past six years each and every one of you have no doubt heard of the Business House owned and con ducted by DUCKER & BtTLTMAN. We now come before you again, and have no hesitation in saying that at least two-thirds of the inhabitants of this 'Game Cock' County have had some business transaction, be it ever so small, or be it large, with the above named firm, during those six years. Again, for the last three months all the newspa pers in this State have been writing about "The New Deal'1 which is likely to take place in our political affairs, and we say, right, they are,, to advocate it, provided sufficient reasons can be given that our present rep resentatives have not managed our affairs in the right and pro per manner. Let this be as it may, we bave neither time nor space to dwell npoo political affaire at present. Should yon desire a change yon can assert your rights when election time comes. Not only bare the people a right to change their representa tives in the legislative halle, bat they also have a right to change the places where they have been trading in past ! years, when they fi od that the man with whom they have been tradiog is im- j posing upon them by charging high j prices for inferior goods ; aod at this very time when the so-called "King" j Cotton is low in price, it is every one's ' duty to get fall value for his hard-earn- ! ed dollar. j Proad, yes highly delighted, are we, to inform you at this time when every body is advocating a "New Deal," not one of onr friends and customers has yet said in onr bearing, "I am tired Trading ?VB?CKER & BULTMAN'S? I waot a new dwT~ana*nr-change. To the contrary, we can safely tell yon onr business is increasing day after day, and whilst times are bard we are now, as well as in the past, ready and willing to sell ail of our goods in accordance with the low price of cotton. We bave made it a rale, and hope every one in Sumter Connty will do likewise, Never Advance Backward, but always go forward, and let the past take care of itself. For instance, if a merchant buys a stock of goods aod keeps them in store say thirty days, it is, in our opiniou a very poor idea to tell bis customers that he has, in order to sell his stock, advanced prices back ward, because it only shows toat the stock was marked too high at first. We never, or hardly ever, sell at cost, for we must live on tbe profits ; but we never mark our goods more than will pay its for handling them, and unless we have a lot of old goods, you will never, we bobe, hear us cry "Advance Backward." We are willing to sell you* goods with small margins above cost, and thus we are always able to offer New Goods at New Prices, and hence no need to Advance Backward, because the people buy our goods fast enough to avoid having old stock. We liave recently enlarged Store, and don't you forget, our Stock has also been increased, and we have a good force of polite and attentive Clerks, and, adding to this our low prices and good quality of Goods, we don't hesitate to say but what you will continue to patronize us in future as well as yon have in tbe past. To those who have never traded with V8, we would say?Give us a trial when you are ready to buy, and also when you are ready to sell your Cotton, for we are in position to pay the highest prices, according to market, and we GUARANTEE FAIR DEALING. Well, remember that we carry the BEST LINE OF Fancy Groceries anil Coictioieries IN THIS TOWN, and wc also carry a good stock of DOMESTIC DRY GOODS, Shoes, Hats and Clothing, and we have just opened a case of PRINTS which we will sell you at 4 cents per yard, and a case of STANDARD PRINTS which we will sell you 5 CENTS. These are Choice Goods, and are worth G to cents. These are REAL BARGAINS, and you should not fail to secure some of them. More next time.
